![]() Red Letter DaysĪs for Red Letter Days, Rachel Elnaugh came up with the idea for experiential gifts one day as she was buying tickets for cricket matches for her father’s birthday. She also did a lot of accounting work for dad’s business, which also gave her time to spend with him. Instead, she made her way up the corporate ladder from having a position as an office junior in a local firm of accountants to becoming a qualified tax consultant with Arthur Andersen which is located in London. Unfortunately, Elnaugh was rejected by all 5 universities she had applied to. Initially, she had the desire to study art history at university. She attended Chelmsford High School for Girls, which was an all-girls grammar school. Biographyīorn 12 December 1964 in Essex, Elnaugh lived above an electrical sop owned by her father in Chelmsford. Who is Rachel Elnaugh?Įlnaugh is a successful entrepreneur from the UK and an investor, who is mostly known for her self made and founded a company called Red Letter Days, as well as her appearance on Dragon’s Den for several seasons. This fortune is thought to have been earned from Red Letter Days, which is a gift company that she founded at age of 24 years old and sells experiential gifts such as spa days. Her net worth is thought to be around $7 million. Rachel Elnaugh is a successful businesswoman from the UK. That happens to be equivalent to $114.6 per hour! This means Elnaugh earns $2, 793.73 per day. "Orchid Gem" Necklace by Elizabeth Galton commissioned by Swarovski.Rachel Elnaugh’s net worth is reportedly worth $7 million. Here's an interesting article about her career and appearance on the show: But I do believe that Elizabeth is more of a designer than anything else and it's awesome that she combine that with her business brain. Ok, I’m not the sort of person who cares too much about money, power or even mass produced anything. It’s just amazing how she kept her emotion still. If I was in that room being bombarded by questions and criticism, I would cry. I was really impressed when the Dragon’s asked her about where her business is going to go, she has her business plan and financial forecast planned out already and was very confident about it. She sold 5 necklaces in one add for 6.000 pounds each- that’s 30.000 pounds from one add. She first collaborated with Mercedes Benz in an advertising campaign in 2000. I’m just quoting straight out of the episode here straight from my memory. She took the spotlight not because of her solid background and experience in jewelry design and sales, but also her knowledge in business, and that was a big plus for her in having the dragons securing 110.000 pounds investment (with 30% share) that she needed. I am intrigued that out of so many people that proposed their inventions, a jewelry designer would out beat them all. ![]() Elizabeth was only 28 when she appeared on the show. It has to be more than a coincidence that at the exact hour when I went running, on a tv that could’ve been put on any channel, they showed a 2005 Dragon’s Den episode where a high-end Jewelry designer Elizabeth Galton took the spotlight. I only knew of Dragon’s Den from the TV show “IT Crowd”, so it was kindda cool to see the real thing. As I was running on the treadmill this morning, I simultaneously watched my first episode of an investment tv show, Dragon’s Den. ![]()

But they are really hard to find unless you live in Florida, plus those teeny tiny limes are so fastidious to juice. Yes, key limes are a lot more tart than regular limes and some say a bit more floral. Purists look away…regular limes are perfectly fine for a key lime pie. But I’m confident once you taste this outstanding key lime pie, you will forgive me twofold :)) Best Lime Juice For Key Lime Pie Apologies to my Canadian readers that will have to buy two cans and use only a third of the second one. Ultimately, I preferred the pie with a bit more condensed milk. Because I live in Canada, I tested this recipe using only 300ml of sweetened condensed milk but I found I had to also reduce the lime juice and the yogurt. The problem is if you’re in Canada, you will notice the cans contain only 300ml which is a pretty significant difference. This recipe calls for 14 ounces (397ml) of sweetened condensed milk. But this whipped cream topping made with heavy cream, Greek yogurt, and just a bit of powdered sugar is not only outrageously delicious, it will help mellow out all the sharp tanginess in the filling.Ĭanadian Sweetened Condensed Milk Vs American Optional topping: You don’t have to top your key lime pie with anything.See section below for more on the best lime juice for key lime pie. If your limes are juicy and on the larger side, you will need about 6-8 limes. The amount of limes you need to get 3/4 cup of lime juice will depend on how juicy your limes are. For this recipe you will need 3/4 cup lime juice. I have searched high and low in my area and have not found them so I use Persian limes-aka regular limes you find at any grocery store. Lime juice: Key lime pies are traditionally made with the juice of key limes, hence the name.Once any citrus has been juiced, it is near impossible to zest it. Make sure to always zest the limes before you juice them. Lime zest: This is a key ingredient in a key lime pie giving the filling more brightness and a lot more flavour.I got that idea from Alison Roman’s Dining In and I love that it adds a little bit of tanginess but also gives more structure to the topping and helps prevent the whipping cream from “falling” once refrigerated. I also use a bit of yogurt in the whipped cream topping. A bit of yogurt in the filling softens the sour edge of the limes and keeps it from being overly eggy or sweet. Greek yogurt: I’d like to say adding yogurt to the mixture is optional but I urge you to give it a try.See section below for the difference between the cans of sweetened condensed milk sold in Canada and the ones in the US. Without it, I’m not sure the filling would set so I can’t offer any substitutions. Sweetened condensed milk: The thick and creamy mixture of sweetened condensed milk is a key ingredient in a key lime pie.I tested some myself but, ultimately, my expert testers (thank you L + B!) way preferred a filling with the inclusion of some egg yolks. I have seen many recipes for eggless key lime pie that use all yogurt or sour cream. Egg yolks: I use 3 egg yolks for the filling which is less than most key lime pies call for but that’s because I also add yogurt to the filling (more on that below).You can use just about any sweetener you prefer here but I feel like the bit of caramel flavour in brown sugar works well here. Brown sugar: A bit of sugar in the crust helps it crisp up when baked.Melted butter and/or coconut oil: I like to use some coconut oil in the crust for a bit more tropical flavour but you can use all butter if you prefer.In a pinch, you can buy a pre-baked crust but I don’t find them as tasty. Graham cracker crumbs: You can use graham crackers that you crush yourself, or store-bought graham cracker crumbs.This is the perfect dessert to make ahead.Electric mixer and food processor are optional All you need is a whisk.The inclusion of yogurt in the filling gives it a silkier, creamier texture.It’s the perfect summer dessert that everyone seems to love.It’s no wonder this delightfully refreshing dessert is everyone’s all-time favourite treat. A cloud of whipped cream, with just a touch of sugar added and topped with flecks of lime zest, mellows it all out giving you pure sunshine in every bite. The crispy graham cracker crust, infinitely easier than a pastry crust, is the perfect counterpoint to the creamy sweetness of the filling. ![]() The result is a slightly creamier pie that is delightfully sweet with the perfect amount of tartness. The yogurt tames the sweetness and the lime’s acidity. The recipe I share with you today includes the familiar, classic ingredients-egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice and lime zest-but I’ve also thrown in a bit of yogurt. ![]() Canadian Sweetened Condensed Milk Vs American. ![]() ![]() You can get a Surfshark free trial with their 30-day money-back guarantee.

What confused me about this initially is that you cannot create a simple notebook from the notebooks section in Azure Data Studio. This is not required as you can create a new notebook from the file menu or with the shortcut as noted on the screen in Azure Data Studio. Before we dive into this process too deeply, I want to be clear that we are going to create a Jupyter book to add our notebooks to. Let’s begin creating our first notebook in Azure Data Studio.

The markdown file is effectively a document that allows you to create a nicely formatted informational component for your notebook. Markdown files and notebooks are files created that are organized for particular purposes. ![]() Before we leave the structure and organization section here, I want to clarify that the book is the parent folder, and the section is a sub folder within the book. ![]() That folder will also contain several helper files to organize your notebooks, markdown files, and sections. When you create a Jupyter book, it looks like you’re creating a folder. ![]() Each time I tried to create my first Jupyter book, I didn’t understand what its purpose was in the beginning. While I am sure there are simple ways to create what we would like to do, I’m coming at this entirely from Azure Data Studio as a data developer not a data scientist. Once I started working with the notebook process in Azure Data Studio, I realized there were multiple components involved: While I may not get all of the terminology correct in this process, this is my discovery as I move forward through the process. Then I could go back and create the Jupyter book correctly from the beginning. So, as a newbie with notebooks and organization with Azure Data Studio, I created a notebook and a Jupyter book so I could see how the files are organized. I thought it should know where they should go. Part of my struggle in understanding what was happening is each time I tried to create a notebook it asked me for locations and files. The organization of notebooks and files in Azure Data Studio So, let’s go through the process of creating your first notebook step by step with explanations about what’s happening. For example, it was not entirely clear to me that one part of the process is creating a folder to store your notebooks with your markdown files and other content. This means that the instructions for how to create, organize, and use notebooks within Azure Data Studio is a bit lacking. One of the interesting things about working with notebooks, is that if you want to work with notebooks, it’s likely that you already have and you prefer to use them. How in the world do you work with notebooks in Azure Data Studio? Now that you have the background of what I was trying to accomplish, let’s look at the process I went through getting this done. I realized I could put together my entire demo package to share with the attendees and build the demo so that I could execute it a step at a time without highlighting. I watched a couple of demos on using notebooks and found some of the notebooks that have been created by Microsoft. I was also looking for better ways to automate the process, but more about that later. As I was working through testing my demo, I found executing code by highlighting and pushing “run” in either Data Studio or in SQL Server Management Studio was difficult because I struggled to control highlighting the code. Most of the code is ready to go since I have done this presentation a few times. I will be presenting a session on elastic queries in Azure SQL database.

The result: 16 percent of the main shocks were preceded by such foreshocks within 60 days whereas only 7 percent (three percent) of the main shocks were preceded by foreshocks within one day (one hour). " We have assumed that such vibrations are felt at a distance of 100 kilometers for animals," says Woith. They used data from an earthquake catalog (ISC-GEM), which records worldwide earthquakes of magnitude M 5.6 and higher in the years 2000-2012. The reports come from two dozen countries, most of them from New Zealand, Japan, Italy and Taiwan.Īmong other things, Woith's team has investigated the effect of foreshocks: noticeable vibrations, which occur on every tenth earthquake days or even weeks before. The analysis included more than 700 records of claimed animal precursors related to 160 earthquakes with unusual behavior of more than 130 species - from sheep to goats to snakes and fish. ![]() " We have looked more closely at such studies and investigated whether there is a statistical correlation between seismic activity and animal behavior." This first comprehensive statistical analysis is published in the journal Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America. " The reports of conspicuous behavior are numerous, but it could have other causes," says Heiko Woith. Scientists at the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam had a closer look at the available data. So how should ordinary domestic and wild animals be in a position to do so? Moreover: The exact time of such an event depends on many different factors and can probably never be accurately predicted according to the current state of science. ![]() On the other hand, there are many earthquakes before which such abnormal animal behavior has precisely not been observed. On the one hand there are numerous reports of chickens, sheep or dogs that behaved strangely before a quake.

I am aware of the drilling and strain gage method of assessing residual stress, and it pretty much seems to be the standard method today. And, in fact, if you could measure accurately enough the bend angle in the pipe would change from cutting out the coupon, because you have disrupted the equilibrium stress conditions (the residual stresses) after the bending process. To answer your basic question., you can’t remove a coupon from the pipe without changing the residual stress in it and in the pipe around the coupon hole. RE: Residual Stress in (Shop) Cold Bends auzie5 (Mechanical) Should I maybe consider pulling some longitudinal samples as well to check if any residual stresses are impacting longitudinal properties? However, tensile tests are typically from transverse coupons to qualify the bend procedure. Thus if I passed my mechancial tests on the test bend I would not need to worry about residual stresses. I have always thought that if there are residual stresses left in the bend, they would impact the results of my test bend mechanical test results. Unless for sour service, I cannot remember an instance when I post bend heat treated a cold bend (even for much tighter bend radii). Is the general statement that, "cold bends have more residual stress left in them than induction bends" accurate? I would assume that depending on the quenching rate, induction bends can have residual stresses left in them as well.įor cold bends, I have always just completed my mechanical testing on my test bend to qualify the cold bend procedure without giving any serious thought to residual stresses existing in the finished bend. I do admit that the idea of residual stresses left in a finished cold bend is a bit confusing to me at the moment. As soon as they hear 20" they immediately conclude it must be fabricated using the induction bending process before I've even had a chance to detail the bend radius (example: 25D). I tend to run into people who prefer induction bends over cold bends as a rule. Thanks for the input racookpe1978 and LittleInch. RE: Residual Stress in (Shop) Cold Bends weldstan (Materials) 28 Jan 16 18:26 However, I am unclear if I can remove a coupon from the finished bend to perform ASTM E837-13 tests or if I would be required to mount the Restan MTS3000 on the finished bend since removed a coupon may relieve some of the residual stress in the steel after the bending process. As one of my checks, I would like to demonstrate the bending process has not introduced unacceptable levels of residual stress into the finished bend. 448 line pipe to a 25D bend radius and 30 degree bend angle using a hydraulic ram bending machine. I am in the process of cold bending some NPS 20 x 12.5mmWT, CSA Z245.1 Gr. However, I am uncertain about the effects on the residual stress in the pipe if I remove a coupon from the test bend for testing in the Restan MTS3000 instrument. Since we complete destructive testing on a test bend before moving into production, I liked the idea of following ASTM E837-13 to determine residual stress by the hole-drilling strain gage method. As I was looking for an instrument to measure the residual stress left in the pipe after bending I came across a product (Restan MTS3000 – see video demonstration: ). I am currently exploring bending large bore steel line pipe using a hydraulic ram bending machine. My question is: Does removing a coupon from a test bend relieve the residual stress in that coupon? Or can I remove a small coupon from the test bend and still accurately measure the residual stress introduced into the steel during the cold bending process? ![]() ![]() ![]() Theories like brain-eating bacteria in the water or government involvement are a couple of them, but ultimately, the island’s dwindling attendance and rising maintenance costs most likely contributed to its demise. Although the reason may seem straightforward with the introduction of Animal Kingdom, the lack of closure has given rise to many theories for the island’s abandonment. In the 20 or so years since Discovery Island closed down, Disney has never issued an official statement regarding its closing. The island remained in operation for a few months to relocate the animals to Animal Kingdom before it shut down for good. Almost a year after Animal Kingdom opened, Discovery Island closed to the public, ending its 25-year run. At 580 acres, it was the largest theme park in the world, and many people speculate that it made Discovery Island redundant. This would change, however, once Animal Kingdom officially opened on Earth Day in 1998. ![]() Avian Way featured a large boardwalk suspended above the lagoon, where people could walk through the enclosed area and see birds from all over the world.Īlthough Disney had come under fire in 1989 for seriously mishandling several birds, Discovery Island continued operations as usual until the late ’90s. ![]() Along the way, they would see Monkey Colony, where capuchin monkeys perched in the trees Flamingo Lagoon, where flamingos meandered in the water and Avian Way, arguably the park’s most popular attraction. Once past The Thirsty Perch, visitors explored the trails that wound through the island. There, they could grab light refreshments like sodas and slushies and various other snacks. Once they made it past the ticket collector, the first thing they saw was The Thirsty Perch, the park’s snack bar. After purchasing tickets, tourists would board a ferry from the Magic Kingdom Park and sail for the main dock on Discovery Island. Disney leaned into these facts and dedicated the island as a nature preserve. After a brief shutdown for renovations, the attraction reopened in 1976 as the newly dubbed Discovery Island.Īccording to Walt Dated World, the island had 140 species of animals and 250 species of tropical plants. It soon became clear, though, that the island’s rich botanical nature and wildlife overshadowed its pirate theme. There would be shipwrecks, exotic birds and buried treasure. The Disney company wanted the island to take on a pirate theme, so they named it Blackbeard’s Island but later changed it to Treasure Island. The island went through a small identity crisis after its development in 1974. He purchased the island and the surrounding area in 1965 but sadly passed away before he saw its development come to fruition. The island was supposedly one of the places that really caught Disney’s eye when scouting central Florida for future development. It was around this time in the early 1960s when Walt Disney stepped into the picture and acquired the property as part of “The Florida Project.” Disneyland had just opened in 1955 to resounding success, and Disney wanted to begin planning his next set of visions for the second theme park. Nicholson sold the island to some businessmen who would use it as a hunting retreat. He renamed the island Idle Bay Isle and stayed for about 20 years until he became sick and had to sell it. In 1937, Florida’s first disc jockey, Delmar Nicholson, bought the island for $800 and lived there alongside his wife and his pet crane. Long before it was called Discovery Island, it was known as Raz Island, named after the family that lived there during the early 1900s. It was shut down in the span of a few months without an official reason why, and this lack of closure gives the island an air of mystery and an unsatisfying ending to what was a relatively long and interesting history.ĥ Top Smartphones for Music and Movies Right Now Bay Lake, Florida: Pre-Disney Era What makes Discovery Island appealing to so many people, besides its massive “Jurassic Park” vibes, is the vague nature of the attraction’s closing. It now sits abandoned as nature continues to overrun the decrepit buildings and exhibits.
