iococoi Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Quote America’s foodways have helped shape this nation. What we eat and how we eat it reflects this country’s diverse cultures, needs, technologies and economies. The goal of The American Table is to rediscover and reenergize American food traditions. This is an invitation to delve into our past, play around a bit, and learn something about how we got to be where we are today. http://www.americantable.org/ e.g. Civil War Recipe: Republican Pudding (1863) Ham Banana Rolls (1947) Edited January 28, 2020 by iococoi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManjuShri Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) For any map fans. "George III may never have left the south of England or fought on a battlefield, but he explored the world through a vast collection of military maps that are now being made available online, offering extraordinary insight into the art of warfare and mapping. Highlights include two-metre-wide maps of the American War of Independence. Known as the king who lost America, George followed the steady erosion of his hold on American colonies from the comfort of his library at Buckingham House, now Buckingham Palace." "George III's collection of military maps comprises some 3,000 maps, views and prints ranging from the disposition of Charles V's armies at Vienna in 1532 to the Battle of Waterloo (1815). Most notable among these are the military maps, prints and drawings collected by his uncle, William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1721–65), particularly during his period as Captain General of the British army during the War of the Austrian Succession (1743–8) and the Seven Years War (1756–63). The second major collection, bought by George III in 1763, was that of the military prints collected by the Italian art patron, Cassiano dal Pozzo (1588–1657). In addition to these, George III acquired hundreds of maps of contemporary conflicts, such as the American War of Independence (1775–83), and the French and Napoleonic Wars (1792–1815)." https://militarymaps.rct.uk/introduction https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?ll=15.321379625239835%2C16.923020850000057&z=3&mid=1D6sQZg4bjQwLmhBoeU1P-7DzeYunJrBT Edited January 29, 2020 by ManjuShri 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iococoi Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Quote Henry O. Studley (1838-1925) built this magnificent wall-hung chest while employed by the Poole Piano Company of Quincy, Massachusetts. He probably obtained materials for the chest from the firm's scrap mahogany, walnut, ebony, ivory, and mother-of-pearl. The elegant but efficient design protects the tools from damage and permits them to be identified and selected quickly. http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/tool_chest_made_by_studley.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iococoi Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 http://120years.net Quote 120 Years of Electronic Music* is a project that outlines and analyses the history and development of electronic musical instruments from around 1880 onwards. This project defines ‘Electronic Musical Instrument’ as an instruments that generate sounds from a purely electronic source rather than electro-mechanically or electro-acoustically (However the boundaries of this definition do become blurred with, say, Tone Wheel Generators and tape manipulation of the Musique Concrète era). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

may be rude Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Temporal circuit of macroscale dynamic brain activity supports human consciousness Quote INTRODUCTION Evidence from noninvasive functional neuroimaging studies has pointed to two distinct cortical systems that support consciousness. The default mode network (DMN) is an internally directed system that correlates with consciousness of self, and the dorsal attention network (DAT) is an externally directed system that correlates with consciousness of the environment (1–7). The DMN engages in a variety of internally directed processes such as autobiographical memory, imagination, and self-referencing (6–8). The DAT, on the other hand, mediates externally directed cognitive processes such as goal-driven attention, inhibition, and top-down guided voluntary control (2, 6, 9). Moreover, the DMN and DAT appear to be in a reciprocal relationship with each other such that they are not simultaneously active, i.e., they are “anticorrelated.” This anticorrelation is presumed to be vital for maintaining an ongoing interaction between self and environment that contributes to consciousness (5). Conversely, diminished anticorrelation between DMN and DAT activity has been reported in humans when consciousness was suppressed by general anesthesia (10, 11) and in neuropathological patients with disorders of consciousness (4, 12), supporting the hypothesis that a balance of the internally and externally directed systems is important for waking consciousness. https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/11/eaaz0087 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But check this post, it hilariously breaks ranks with his other posts. Almost cute that he thinks this is acceptable cooking, lol On 7/9/2019 at 8:43 PM, Schlitze said: Seeing the burgers in this thread directly inspires burger consumption. I had my mind set on scotch eggs before seeing the burgers in here at about about 4 o'clock. I set to work....from the purchase of the raw materials, the creation process, all the way through to the finished article Just please promise me you remember to toast those buns 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
