Cooking_wineCooking wine refers to inexpensive wine that has been treated with salt as a preservative. It is intended for use as an ingredient in food rather than as a beverage. When a wine bottle is opened and the wine is exposed to oxygen, a fermentation|fermentative process will transform the alcohol into acetic acid resulting in wine vinegar. The salt in cooking wine inhibits the growth of the acetic acid producing microorgasisms. This preservation is important because a bottle of cooking wine may be opened and used occasionally over a long period of time. Cooking wines are convenient for cooks who use wine as an ingredient for cooking only rarely. However, they are not widely used by professional chefs, as they believe the added preservative significantly lowers the quality of the wine and resultantly the food made with that wine. Most professional chefs prefer to use inexpensive but drinkable wine for cooking, and this recommendation is given in many professional cooking text! books as well as general cookbooks. Many chefs believe there is no excuse for using a low quality cooking wine for cooking when there are quality drinkable wines available at very low prices, such as two buck Chuck, which sells for $2 in California. Nevertheless, the sale of cooking wine persists both as a tradition, and because in some areas (such as New York State), cooking wines are manufactured with a low alcohol content (<5%) and can be sold in grocery stores, whereas ordinary wines with higher alcohol content (>5%) can only be sold in liquor stores. |

HeartseaseThe Heartsease (''Viola triocolor'') is a common European wild flower, growing as an annual or short-lived perennial. It has been introduced species|introduced into North America, where it has spread widely, and is known as the Johnny Jump Up (though this name is also applied to similar native species such as the Yellow Pansy). It is the progenitor of the cultivated Pansy, and is therefore sometimes called the Wild Pansy; before the cultivated Pansies were developed, "pansy" was an alternative name for the wild form.The Heartsease is a small plant of creeping habit, reaching at most 15cm in height, with flowers about 1.5 cm in diameter. It grows in short grassland on farms and wasteland, chiefly on acid or neutral soils. It is usually found in partial shade. It flowers from April to September. The flowers can be purple, blue, yellow or white. They are hermaphrodite and self-fertile, pollinated by bees.As its name implies, Heartsease has a long history of use in herbalis! m. It has been recommended, among other uses, as a treatment for epilepsy, asthma, skin diseases and eczema. It has expectorant properties, and so has been used in the treatment of chest complaints such as bronchitis and whooping cough. It is also a diuretic, leading to its use in treating rheumatism and cystitis.The flowers have also been used to make yellow, green and blue-green dyes, while the leaves can be used to make a chemical indicator.Long before cultivated pansies were developed, the heartsease was associated with thought in the "language of flowers", often by its alternative name of pansy: hence Ophelia (character)|Ophelia's often quoted line in William Shakespeare|Shakespeare's ''Hamlet'', "There's pansies, that's for thoughts". What Shakespeare had in mind was the heartsease, not a modern garden pansy.Heartsease has a large number of alternative colloquial names, up to two hundred. |

Solar_designThe goal of solar design is to incorporate passive solar design features into buildings, to help keep a structure warm in the winter and cool in the summer.A building's windows, walls, and floors can be designed to collect, store, and distribute warmth during the winter, and reject solar heat in the summer. This is called passive solar design or climatic design because, unlike active solar heating systems, it doesn't involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices, such as pumps, fans or electrical controls to move the solar heat. |

ShinkansenThe ''Shinkansen'' (Japanese language|Japanese: 新幹線) is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. The first line, the Tokaido Shinkansen|Tōkaidō Shinkansen, was opened in 1964. The network has since expanded to link most major cities on the islands of Honshu and Kyushu with running speeds of up to 300 km/h. |

Gin:''This article concerns the beverage. For other uses see Gin (disambiguation).''Gin is a distilled beverage|spirit, or strong alcoholic beverage. It is made from the distillation of white grain spirit and juniper berries, which provide its distinctive flavour. The taste of ordinary gin is very dry (property of alcohol)|dry, and as such it is rarely drunk neat. It should not be confused with sloe gin, a sweet liqueur traditionally made from sloe berries (blackthorn fruit) infused in gin.The most common type of gin, typically used for mixed drinks, is "London dry gin", which refers not to appellation or origin, but to style and distillation process. London dry gin refers to a high proof spirit, usually produced in a column still and redistilled after the botanicals are added to the base spirit. In addition to juniper, it is usually made with a small amount citrus botanicals like lemon and bitter orange peel. Other botanicals that may be used include anise, angelica root, ! orris root, cinnamon, coriander, and cassia bark.A well made gin will be very dry with a smooth texture lacking in harshness. The flavor will be harmonious yet have a crisp character with a pronounced Juniper flavor.Other types of gin include jenever (Dutch gin), Plymouth gin, and Old Tom gin (said to approximate the pot-distilled 18th century spirit).In Hasselt, Belgium you can find a National Gin Museum. |

Sima_(mead)Sima (cognate with brewing|zymurgy) is a sweat mead, still an essential seasonal brew connected with the Finland|Finnish Walpurgis Night|Vappu festival. It is usually spiced by adding both the flesh and rind of a lemon. During secondary fermentation raisins are added to control the amount of sugars and to act as an indicator of readiness for consumption — they will rise to the top of the bottle when the drink is ready. Sima is usually accompanied by ''munkkeja'' (donuts and other pastries). |

Free_floating_screedThe free floating screed is a device pioneered by Barber Greene Company in the 1930s that revolutionized the asphalt paving process. Barber Greene dominated the market until the patent expired in 1955, and now all major asphalt paver manufacturers use this design principle in their equipment.The free floating screed has become standard because of the smoothing or averaging effect it can have on the existing base course. Since the only connection between the asphalt paver and the screed is the tow arm, the screed can "float" vertically relative to the paver. This allows the paver to traverse uneven ground while the screed floats over the material placed in front of it.The free floating screed has a number of forces acting on it that, when in equilibrium, allow the depth behind the screed to be constant.* Tow arm pull: the force exerted on the screed by the paver dragging it * Mass: the weight of the screed * Resistance of the head of material: the resistance from the pile of material in front of the screedThe angle at which the tow arm pull is exerted on the screed also contributes to the motion; its resultant force is either added or subtracted from the mass of the screed.If each of these forces is constant, altering the angle of the screed to the horizontal (angle of attack) will control the amount of material extruded behind the screed. Increasing the angle angle of attack will cause the screed to climb higher through the pile of material, and therefore raise its trailing edge, increasing the amount of material extruded behind the screed. Similarly, reducing the angle of attack will reduce the amount of material extruded. |
