![]() This is the exciting-yet little known-story of the making of England in the 9th and 10th centuries, the years in which King Alfred the Great, his son and grandson defeated the Danish Vikings who had invaded and occupied three of England’s four kingdoms.Īt the end of The Last Kingdom, The Danes had been defeated at Cynuit, but the triumph of the English is not fated to last long. The second installment of Bernard Cornwell’s New York Times bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (The Observer, London)-the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit television series. This thrilling adventure-based on existing records of Bernard Cornwell’s ancestors-depicts a time when law and order were ripped violently apart by a pagan assault on Christian England, an assault that came very close to destroying England. Above all, though, he wishes to recover his father’s land, the enchanting fort of Bebbanburg by the wild northern sea. ![]() By now he is a young man, in love, trained to fight and ready to take his place in the dreaded shield wall. He certainly has no love for Alfred, whom he considers a pious weakling and no match for Viking savagery, yet when Alfred unexpectedly defeats the Danes and the Danes themselves turn on Uhtred, he is finally forced to choose sides. The story is seen through the eyes of Uhtred, a dispossessed nobleman, who is captured as a child by the Danes and then raised by them so that, by the time the Northmen begin their assault on Wessex (Alfred’s kingdom and the last territory in English hands) Uhtred almost thinks of himself as a Dane. This is the story of the making of England in the 9th and 10th centuries, the years in which King Alfred the Great, his son and grandson defeated the Danish Vikings who had invaded and occupied three of England’s four kingdoms. ![]() ![]() James also executive produces a variety of factual productions through his company Underdog Films and currently has two scripted projects going into production. Other works include the multi award winning Netflix film Jago: A Life Underwater, Rise Of The Warrior Apes for Discovery and the upcoming Netflix series Chimp Empire (released on 19th April). Chimp Empire is about the largest group of chimpanzees ever discovered have built a complex society deep i. He won the 2021 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature for My Octopus Teacher which was released on Netflix in 2020. The Westerners and Centralers fight for territory. ![]() James Reed is an Academy Award winning director with a reputation for storytelling and character-driven narrative. When director James Reed embedded a camera crew to capture a uniquely intimate look at the chimps of Ngogo, there was no way to know that the year ahead would bring some of the most tumultuous battles and dramatic changes in the tribe’s history. The screening and Q&A will be followed by networking drinks supported by Keo Films in the Watershed Bar.Ĭhimp Empire is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get up close and personal with our closest living animal relatives, and an equally rare opportunity to learn about our own human society through the mirror of these chimps and their fascinating lives. Organised by Wildscreen Network and RTS West of England, there will also be a Q&A with Oscar-winning Director James Reed, Series Producer and Camera Operator Callum Webster, Director of Photography Ben Sadd, and Camera Operator Lauren Munchan, moderated by Director and Presenter, Ash Kapur. ![]() Anyone can create their own builds via the ESO Build Editor. This is a rare name for Nords, but this makes it an even better choice. Some Khajiit believe having both a prefix and suffix is a sign of arrogance and pride. Ooh yeah, these names are very popular on the internet. Callon (Irish origin) meaning "Hero," is a rare choice. M/Ma’ - It is used to when referring to a child or an apprentice.

Since there were only a few hundred cars in all of France, the guide was given away for free in hopes of creating demand for cars. It also included a list of restaurants, hotels, mechanics, and gas stations along popular routes in France. The first Michelin Guide printed 35,000 copies and included maps, along with instructions on how to repair and change tires. The aim of the guide was to create a demand for automobiles, and therefore, Michelin tires. The first Michelin Guide was compiled in 1900 by Michelin Tire founders and French industrialist brothers Andre and Edouard Michelin. Interestingly, the invention of the Michelin Star rating coincides with the invention of the automobile. The Unexpected Origins of the Michelin Guide The origins of the Michelin Guide trace back to the turn of the 20th century and were inspired by a surprising turn of events that have very little to do with cuisine. After all, some of the cooks we’re training may one day aspire to join the ranks of restaurants recommended in the iconic Michelin Guide. Here at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, we thought you should know the whole story. For the first time, the guide recognised mixologists with the inaugural cocktail award, which went to Makis Kazakis of glitzy Chinese restaurant Park Chinois in Mayfair, London.Have you ever wondered how restaurants get Michelin Stars? Or how the Michelin Star rating system came to be? These include the Young Chef award, this year scooped by Sarah Howard at Tom Kerridge's The Coach in Marlow.
![]() ![]() Tom Ford Lip Gloss in Aura - These sold out the second the sale hit. Pillow Talk is a pink nude, whereas I prefer a true nude. Nars Powder Blush - Torrid is my favorite, which is a coral color, but obviously Orgasm is must-have too.Ĭharlotte Tilbury Lip Liner - I know everyone loves Pillow Talk, but Iconic Nude is more my jam. For night’s out, I’ll add Nars powder blush on top. ![]() Melt Cream Blush in Honey Thief - This is a new product that I’ve found and use every day. I love this bronzer so much that I’ve given it as gifts to people. I don’t personally like bronzer to be too shimmery. It’s not cheap but mine has lasted a full year. Tom Ford Bronzer - I prefer the color Gold Dust which is a little darker than Terra Cotta, but it’s not sold at Sephora. Some times I feel like skin tints barely do anything. It leaves my skin looking really dewy and it’s the perfect amount of coverage. But since I workout a lot and don’t want an overly done look while teaching class, but still want to look pulled together, I tried this Ilia Skin Tint and I LOVE it. My daily use to be Loreal Infallible 24 Hour foundation, usually shade 470, but I also buy shades 455 through 480 and mix them depending on how tan I am. But I bounce around when it comes to foundation. Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint - I don’t do a lot or organic brands for makeup, mainly because I have these products I’ve mentioned in this list that have been my go-to for years. Hourglass Concealer in Fawn - I use this to brighten my undereye area, making three strokes under each eye in like a triangle shape. I use this flat concealer brush by Sonia Kashuk. It has a tacky, sticky consistency, but does the job. Since switching to IT Cosmestics, I really love this stuff. I was loyal to Cle De Peau for years, but it was a pain to have to buy it at the department store. Since turning 40, I’ve noticed my concealer creasing under my eye, depsite getting botox for crow’s feet. Let me tell you that I’ve test A LOT of concealers for under eye. IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer - I use shade Medium. So now I have a professionally drawn shape that I just fill in.Ĭharlotte Tilbury Rock N Kohl Eyeliner in Barbarella Brown But they are a tattoo which fades over time. My brows look done without makeup, which is nice especially as a busy mom and fitness pro. That said, let me assure you getting my brows done permanently by a professional was worth every penny. Hourglass Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brunette- I had my brows done by ID Artsy, but I still like darkening them a little bit with makeup. I’ve also honed my own makeup skills getting tips from friends Makeup by Shirin and MakeUpbyMicheleC, and I love following Nat Gee Beauty for her makeup tutorials.īelow I’m breaking down my Makeup Picks by three categories: Ride or Die products I stock up on, Really Love but not Married To, and last, Extras I Love. I’m by no means a makeup professional, but as a former fashion stylist, I definitely picked up a few tricks while working on photo shoots. Examples of integration to get moment of inertia. The moment of inertia in such cases takes the form of a mathematical tensor quantity which requires nine components to completely define it. The concept of moment of inertia for general objects about arbitrary axes is a much more complicated subject. Having called this a general form, it is probably appropriate to point out that it is a general form only for axes which may be called "principal axes", a term which includes all axes of symmetry of objects. Usually, the mass element dm will be expressed in terms of the geometry of the object, so that the integration can be carried out over the object as a whole (for example, over a long uniform rod). (2011) considered Jupiters polar precession to return to the normalized polar moment of inertia, C / MR 2 (M the mass of Jupiter and R its mean radius). The sum over all these mass elements is called an integral over the mass. Note that the differential element of moment of inertia dI must always be defined with respect to a specific rotation axis. This kind of mass element is called a differential element of mass and its moment of inertia is given by Then the moment of inertia contribution by an infinitesmal mass element dm has the same form. Since the moment of inertia of a point mass is defined by Since the moment of inertia of an ordinary object involves a continuous distribution of mass at a continually varying distance from any rotation axis, the calculation of moments of inertia generally involves calculus, the discipline of mathematics which can handle such continuous variables. Where moment of inertia appears in physical quantities The general form of the moment of inertia involves an integral. The moment of inertia of any extended object is built up from that basic definition. The moment of inertia of a point mass with respect to an axis is defined as the product of the mass times the distance from the axis squared. Assuming a fixed internal moment of inertia tensor I0 and a fixed external angular momentum L of the body, the instantaneous angular velocity is Precession. Moment of inertia is defined with respect to a specific rotation axis. That point mass relationship becomes the basis for all other moments of inertia since any object can be built up from a collection of point masses. For a point mass, the moment of inertia is just the mass times the square of perpendicular distance to the rotation axis, I = mr 2. The moment of inertia must be specified with respect to a chosen axis of rotation. It appears in the relationships for the dynamics of rotational motion. Moment of inertia is the name given to rotational inertia, the rotational analog of mass for linear motion. This is called precession, and is analogous to the orbit of a mass under a central force. This changes its direction but not its magnitude, causing the tip of the axle to trace out a circle. If a spinning wheel and axle is supported by one end of the axle, then the torque produced by the weight of the wheel and axle produces a torque that is perpendicular to the angular momentum of the wheel. Acting perpendicular to the velocity, it provides the necessary centripetal force to keep it in a circle. With the appropriate balance of force, a circular orbit can be produced by a force acting toward the center. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is because the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity must remain constant, and halving the radius reduces the moment of inertia by a factor of four. If the string is pulled down so that the radius is half the original radius, then conservation of angular momentum dictates that the ball must have four times the angular velocity. ![]() Since is regressing down the ecliptic, the ecliptic longitude of the star X is increasing. Apply the cosine formula (Equation 3.5.2) to triangle PKX to obtain. From this result, we can conclude that it is twice as hard to rotate the barbell about the end than about its center. Using a string through a tube, a mass is moved in a horizontal circle with angular velocity ω. It is therefore essential for a practical observer to know how to correct for precession. In the case with the axis at the end of the barbellpassing through one of the massesthe moment of inertia is I2 m(0)2 + m(2R)2 4mR2. HyperPhysics***** Mechanics ***** RotationĬonservation of linear momentum dictates that when a mass strikes an equal mass at rest and sticks to it, the combination must move at half the velocity, because the product of mass and velocity must remain constant. The rod would have to spin infinitely fast.Moment of Inertia Rotational-Linear Parallels More comparisons between linear and angular motion Key Equations Velocity of center of mass of rolling objectĪcceleration of center of mass of rolling objectĭisplacement of center of mass of rolling objectĪcceleration of an object rolling without slipping ![]() While both varieties can be durable, cloth models will be less rigid and possibly more porous, depending on the weave. Most hanging fruit baskets will come in either metal or woven material. You want to make sure you have enough room to hang it easily. It may seem like a no-brainer, but remember to measure your ceiling height or wall before ordering a hanging fruit basket. Stop us if you've heard this one: you find the perfect item for your kitchen, you order it without measuring, it arrives, and it's way too big to fit. Our winners may vary in design, but all are durable, stylish, and keep your produce organized. We scoured the internet and polled interior designers, chefs, and our editors to develop this list of the best hanging fruit baskets. If you're looking for something with a bit more flair, we love the dramatic proportions of Anthropologie's Hanging Loretta Basket. The sturdy iron construction allows each container to hold 25 pounds, and you can separate the bins for use individually or stack all three together.įor a durable hanging fruit basket that will complement almost any type of kitchen and keep you organized, we recommend the X-cosrack Metal Wire Basket. Are you saving onions for dinner and don't want anyone to use them for a breakfast omelet? Stick them in a bin and write "Do not touch!"Īside from its organizational use, we also love this basket's bins for the slanted, wide-mouth openings. Do you have kids fighting over apples after school? Give everyone their own bin and write their name on it. The three-tiered design allows you to separate fruit according to type, color, or even ripeness, while the included chalkboards allow you to classify your goods even further. But what we love about this durable iron version is how easy it makes it to organize your produce. The goal of any fruit basket is to provide space to store your fruit, ideally attractively. Its deep baskets mean that this isn't the best choice for installing in narrow passages. Balance sheet stands at net debt of $1.8bn which means leverage of 2.8x TTM EBITDA - that looks a lot for a public company but it's negligible for a leveraged buyout, and since this is an LBO-by-stealth, hiding in plain view on the public markets, that's just fine.The same is true of unlevered pretax free cashflow (= EBITDA minus capex minus change in net working capital) which was at negative 21% on a TTM basis in the July 2020 quarter and is now up to positive 9% on a TTM basis.If like us you have no outside interests and just like studying this kind of thing? That's a work of art right there. EBITDA margins stand at 18% on a TTM basis and the margin progression is a thing of beauty - look at peak margins of +18% in the October 2019 quarter which then dip down into the negative as the transition from upfront licenses to subscription takes hold, then stepwise up every single quarter since the trough of -12% in the October 2021 quarter.Gross margin is up to 78%, a level not achieved since the July 2020 quarter.This is not at all the norm in software right now where by and large companies are showing decelerating rates of growth. TTM revenue growth moved up to +37% vs the same quarter a year ago.the majority of software companies' fourth-quarter numbers, it's barely down on Q3 - whereas most other software names have seen material declines in growth rates. Revenue growth came in at +39% which is not only a huge rate of growth vs.SPLK Fundamentals (Company SEC Filings,, Cestrian Analysis) We see the adverse stock reaction as an opportunity to consider adding to existing positions if you've been looking for a moment to do so, or to open a new position if you're minded to do so. The company just reported a killer quarter. The company is, as we have said many times, an M&A target sat right there in plain sight. The Splunk shareholder register includes two Thoma Bravo peers, being Silver Lake and Hellman & Friedman, and the financials are setting the company up perfectly to be acquired by a buyout shop or shops. The choice of such a background is not, we suspect, a coincidence. The new CEO, Gary Steele, was formerly CEO at Proofpoint, a cybersecurity company which enjoyed success as a public company before being sold to the buyout firm Thoma Bravo. Now, recently the company fired its old CEO and CFO and replaced them with new, hard-charging blood. Over and above those notes, we've covered the stock extensively and in real time in our Growth Investor Pro subscription service here on Seeking Alpha, where our fundamental and technical analysis is enriched and added to by one of our community members, who has a professional background in technology company turnarounds. And watch how our view changes as the company gets ahold of the problem over time. Read the oldest article first, where we are very critical of SPLK's failure to keep up with the shift from perpetual licensing to subscription in the enterprise software world.
