![]() Also look at how the blade connects to its holder - if the gap above the blade is narrow, the peeler can clog rather than release the peels with ease. A swivel blade allows you to peel vegetables with uneven surfaces (think celery root or ginger). In addition, the experts in the GH Institute prefer a blade that swivels. Whether straight or serrated, you want a blade that stays sharp. Julienne peelers are also popular: They include a series of fixed blades that give you thin, uniform strips for salads, spring rolls, and garnishes. We don't recommend serrated blades for potatoes because most leave behind ridges, but they're not as noticeable on softer items and the ease makes up for the presentation. Blade: With vegetable peelers, should consider whether your task requires a straight blade - the classic style that can peel potatoes, apples, carrots and more - or a serrated blade, which is useful when peeling foods with delicate skins, like tomatoes and peaches.One pro tip: Look for a non-slip handle regardless of which model or brand you choose. Peeling is an inherently repetitive motion, so you want a tool that won’t cause fatigue or pain. Handle: The best advice is to find a peeler that’s comfortable for you.Electric models hold the fruit or vegetable in place while rotating against a blade for quick, continuous peeling. Whether it includes its own motor or relies on the motor of an appliance like a stand mixer, it's a great choice for tackling a large amount of produce or if manual peelers aren't right for you. If possible, test one of each kind to decide which is more comfortable. They’re both effective means of peeling, but some experts find that straight peelers are suited to everyday peeling, like carrots, and Y-peelers provide more control and leverage with larger items, like squash. Style: Manual vegetable peelers generally come in one of two styles: A straight peeler, which features a blade that’s in line with the handle, or a Y-peeler, which is shaped like a Y with the blade across the top.Most Versatile Vegetable Peeler: Tovolo Magnetic Tri-Peeler Set.Best Vegetable Peeler for Arthritis: Chef’n Palm Peeler.Best Corn Peeler: OXO Good Grips Corn Prep Peeler.Best Electric Vegetable Peeler: KitchenAid Spiralizer Plus Attachment.Best Value Vegetable Peeler: Kuhn Rikon Piranha Y-Peeler.Best Overall Vegetable Peeler: Swissmar Scalpel Blade Peeler.The peelers that were top scorers against our 8 data points of analysis made our list of the best vegetable peelers: Then we tested the specialized peelers (like corn peelers and eggplant peelers) on the vegetables they were suited for and compared results. We peeled more than 20 pounds of produce - butternut squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples - on the universal peelers to determine the comfort and ease of use, the ability to navigate irregularly shaped produce, and the thinness of the peeled skins. We lined up more than a dozen vegetable peelers for testing by the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab. Once you have an effective tool on hand, you can find all kinds of genius new uses for your peeler. Asparagus, on the other hand, is more efficiently peeled with a smaller, more curved blade. Large vegetables with tougher skins - like that butternut squash, as well as eggplant - benefit from a wider blade. ![]() ![]() For example, tomatoes, with their thin skin and tender flesh, are much easier to peel with a serrated blade. Almost any potato peeler can handle a single carrot for a salad, but when you need to tackle a bushel of tomatoes for homemade tomato sauce or a big ol’ butternut squash, a specialized vegetable peeler helps.Ī vegetable peeler is very similar to a potato peeler, but can vary in size and blade style to make it more suitable to specific foods. One-inch cubes are durable 1″ hardwood cubes that come in six colors and are perfect for beginning counting, patterning, color recognition, teaching basic geometric concepts and building. They are also available in see through plastic. Preschool and kindergarten children learn new vocabulary as they play with the blocks. Try and get a set that comes with a cone, a sphere, a hemisphere, a cube, a cylinder, a rectangular prism, a hexagonal prism, a triangular prism, a square pyramid and a triangular pyramid. Large geometric solidsģD geometric solids come in sets that usually have a common 3″ dimension to illustrate relationships between area, volume, shape, form, and size. Be sure to buy plenty of extra geoboard elastic bands in various colors and sizes. The knobbed pins hold the rubber bands in place. Geoboards are used in the exploration and recognition of shapes, designs, spatial relationships, angles, fractions, area, perimeter, symmetry, and coordinates. This product is not as heavy duty as I would like for a classroom but is wonderful for visualizing how many red and how many yellow equal 10. The students are less frustrated as the counters don’t slide around. Reinforce counting, 1-to-1 correspondence, base 10, place value, number patterns, operations and more. When ready they begin to record their results. Children continue shaking, placing and counting their results. Put 5 in a container, have the children shake them, place them on the carpet or table, then count – 3 yellow and 2 red equals 5 all together. ![]() These math manipulatives are great for teaching number sense and number operations. Two-sided counters are about one-inch in diameter and have one red side and one yellow side. Teach fraction vocabulary such as whole, halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, and tenths as the students play. When young children begin using them they see, feel, and compare equivalent fractions and as they get older the fraction terms become meaningful from their previous play experiences. ![]() They are terrific for teaching students about fractions and their relationships. Fraction circlesįraction circles are made of foam or wood and some are magnetic. 185 – a one hundred block, 8 tens-blocks, and 5 ones blocks 5. Children that are ready can build numbers with them. The children learn by playing, that 10 one hundred blocks are the same size as a one thousand block, that 10 tens-blocks are the same size as a one hundred block, and that 10 ones-blocks are the same length as a ten block. Base ten blocksĪs preschool and kindergarten students play with base 10 blocks, they learn the vocabulary of ones blocks, tens blocks, hundreds blocks and thousands block. Unifix™ cubes are great for math games too. Unifix® cubesĪs students work on patterning, counting, and operation skills, pushing the square cubes together builds small motor and eye-hand coordination too. Building with blocks encourages the development of social skills as kids play together. When children build with them they have practice problem solving and planning and activities such as stacking blocks teach children about balance and gravity. Colored wooden blocksĬolored wooden blocks come in many shapes and are invaluable for teaching geometry, symmetry, number sense, counting, patterns, and more. Pattern blocks can be used to teach everything from number sense, graphing, tessellation, fractions and more. ![]() They come in six colors and shapes – yellow hexagon, green triangle, blue diamond-shaped rhombus, red trapezoid, orange square and a smaller beige rhombus. Pattern blocks are my number one winner as far as using a math manipulative for more than one purpose. They can be used for learning more advanced math concepts as children grow.The math manipulative passes testing standards and is certified to be non-toxic and child safe.The math equipment can be used for math games and imaginative play.The math supplies are tough enough to withstand constant use by children and regular washing.The math manipulative is terrific for teaching multiple math concepts.Using math manipulatives makes it easier for kids to discuss their math thinking with you and their peers, encourages them to ask questions, enables them to understand concepts, find multiple ways to solve problems, and helps them to demonstrate their new knowledge and skills.īefore spending money on math manipulatives, test them against the following criteria: Young children need hands-on interaction with 3-dimensional math manipulatives when learning math. The following 10 math manipulatives are not only great for teaching math concepts and vocabulary, they also encourage imaginative play and exploration.

The only vote against the project came from Planning Commissioner Sue Lee. Planning Commission 4–1 and construction began in 2005. The project was approved in 2003 by the S.F. Millennium Partners first proposed the development in 2002 with 163 condominiums, 108 rentals and a 136-unit "extended stay" hotel. History The Millennium Tower in August 2016 The development accommodates the International Smoke restaurant and bar, located on the ground floor. The development's "lifestyle" program organizes cultural events. Resident services include a private concierge and access to the 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m 2) Owner's Club Level, which features amenities such as a private lounge, wine cellar, and fitness center. The tower's design was marketed as resembling a translucent crystal, and was, until accompanied by much larger adjacent buildings, a landmark for the Transbay Redevelopment and the southern skyline of San Francisco. The building is located next to the site of the Transbay Transit Center. Below street level, there are 434 parking spaces in a five-level subterranean garage located under the 11-story tower. The 53 units in the separate 12-story tower are marketed as City Residences. Neither is there a forty-fourth floor, because the number four is considered unlucky by many Asians. As happens with many high-rises, there is no thirteenth floor because of superstitions related to triskaidekaphobia. The bottom 25 floors of the main tower are marketed as Residences while the floors from 26 to the top are marketed as Grand Residences. The residences are expensive a penthouse unit sold for $13 million in December 2016. Between the two towers is a 43-foot (13 m), two-story glass atrium. In addition to the 58-story tower, there is a 125-foot (38 m), 11-story tower on the northeast end of the complex. The tower is slender, with each floor containing 14,000 square feet (1,300 m 2) of floor space. It was the tallest residential building west of the Mississippi River, but has been surpassed by The Austonian in Texas. ![]() At 645 feet (197 m), it is the tallest concrete structure in San Francisco, the fourth-tallest building in San Francisco, and the tallest built since 345 California Street in 1986. Description ĭeveloped by Mission Street Development LLC, an affiliate of Millennium Partners, the US$350 million project was designed by Handel Architects, engineered by DeSimone Consulting Engineers and built by Webcor Builders. The larger tower's highest level, 58 floors above the ground, is listed as the 60th, because floors 13 and 44 are missing for superstitious reasons. In total, the project has 419 residential units, with 53 of those units in the smaller tower. The blue-gray glass, late-modernist buildings are bounded by Mission, Fremont, and Beale Streets, and the north end of the Transbay Transit Center site. Opened to residents on April 23, 2009, 301 Mission includes two buildings: a 12-story tower located on the northeast of the property, and Millennium Tower, a 58-story, 645-foot-tall (197 m) condominium skyscraper. The building is being modified in an effort to stop its sinking. In May 2016, residents were informed the main tower was both sinking and tilting, resulting in several lawsuits concerning repair costs and whether the tilt had been withheld from buyers. A mixed-use, primarily residential high rise, it is the tallest residential building and the 6th-tallest overall in San Francisco.

There is a standard trick for finding anagram groups: For each word in the dictionary, alphabetize the letters in the word (that is, reorder the word's letters into alphabetical order) and put an entry into a multimap, mapping the alphabetized word to the original word. Anagram groups containing fewer words than the specified minimum are not printed. The program takes two arguments on the command line: (1) the name of the dictionary file and (2) the minimum size of anagram group to print out. An anagram group is a bunch of words, all of which contain exactly the same letters but in a different order. This technique is demonstrated in the next code example, which reads a word list containing one word per line (all lowercase) and prints out all the anagram groups that meet a size criterion. It's a fairly simple matter to use a Map whose values are List instances as a multimap. The Java Collections Framework doesn't include an interface for multimaps because they aren't used all that commonly. MultimapsĪ multimap is like a Map but it can map each key to multiple values. Once you get the hang of it, it's not that difficult to come up with the right one when you need it. There are many more idioms like the ones contained in this section, but it would be impractical and tedious to list them all. The keys in the temporary copy, then, represent precisely the employees that we're looking for. Thus, the remaining entries in the temporary Map comprise all the entries from the original Map whose (manager) values are no longer employees. Remember that the original Map has an entry for each employee. First, it makes a temporary copy of the Map, and it removes from the temporary copy all entries whose (manager) value is a key in the original Map. For starters, suppose you want to know whether one Map is a submap of another that is, whether the first Map contains all the key-value mappings in the second. When applied to the Collection views, bulk operations ( containsAll, removeAll, and retainAll) are surprisingly potent tools. Fancy Uses of Collection Views: Map Algebra It would make no sense for the keySet and values views, and it's unnecessary for the entrySet view, because the backing Map's put and putAll methods provide the same functionality. The Collection views do not support element addition under any circumstances. (Yet again, this assumes that the backing Map supports element removal.) The Collection views support element removal in all its many forms remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations, as well as the Iterator.remove operation. Note that these are the only safe ways to modify a Map during iteration the behavior is unspecified if the underlying Map is modified in any other way while the iteration is in progress. With the entrySet view, it is also possible to change the value associated with a key by calling a Map.Entry's setValue method during iteration (again, assuming the Map supports value modification to begin with). This is illustrated by the preceding filtering idiom. With all three Collection views, calling an Iterator's remove operation removes the associated entry from the backing Map, assuming that the backing Map supports element removal to begin with. ![]() This is precisely what all the Map implementations in java.util do. Rest easy: There's no reason that a Map cannot always return the same object each time it is asked for a given Collection view. (e.getKey() + ": " + e.getValue()) Īt first, many people worry that these idioms may be slow because the Map has to create a new Collection instance each time a Collection view operation is called. ![]() ![]() The following one-liner creates a new HashMap initially containing all of the same key-value mappings as m. For example, suppose you have a Map, named m. This standard Map conversion constructor is entirely analogous to the standard Collection constructor: It allows the caller to create a Map of a desired implementation type that initially contains all of the mappings in another Map, regardless of the other Map's implementation type. Two Map instances are equal if they represent the same key-value mappings.īy convention, all general-purpose Map implementations provide constructors that take a Map object and initialize the new Map to contain all the key-value mappings in the specified Map. Listinterfaces, Map strengthens the requirements on the equals and hashCode methods so that two Map objects can be compared for logical equality without regard to their implementation types. This flexibility provides a potent illustration of the power of an interface-based framework. ![]() Plus, Miami Vice Cookies are so much fun to make. One bite and you’ll swear you’re sitting on a beach, watching the waves roll in. Then you slather them in thick layers of white coconut and bright pink strawberry icing. We’re talking soft, pillowy coconut cookies that are so tender, they’re really more like little cakes. Miami Vice-flavored cookies are a much better idea, if you ask me. I mean, you do you, people – but lemon and chocolate together is a weird combo. In my defense, they’re a bit confusing: half chocolate icing, half vanilla icing… both of which hide a quasi-lemon flavored cookie underneath. Truth moment: I don’t like classic Black and White Cookies. ![]() ![]() While I’m sure their cookies were more along the lines of chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin, this Florida-NYC cookie mash-up seemed perfect for pairing with The Newcomer. While Letty’s out there trying to outsmart her sister’s killer, the motel staff distracts four-year-old Maya by baking cookies. The Florida motel where Letty and Maya hide out is full of kind strangers. Black and White Cookies are an iconic NYC treat, and I pretty much feel it’s compulsory to have a fruity alcoholic beverage in your hand whenever you’re on vacation in Florida. Easy summer cocktails like this refreshing cooler are best served on hot humid summer days, even if you wish you were at the beach.Miami Vice Cookies are a vacation twist on classic Black and White Cookies.Go wild with the garish garnish - add straws, umbrellas, strawberries, and pineapple wedges to your glasses.To ensure the two layers don’t blend when mixing, pour your Piña Colada over the back of a spoon for the best layered effect.If you want to make this cocktail with frozen fruit, omit the ice.If you only have an immersion or stick blender, you can whizz the ingredients in a jug and stir in crushed ice Ideally, you’ll need a strong blender to crush your Miami Vice cocktail ingredients and the ice into a slushie texture.Here are some tricks to make this retro drink in the best way: Serve and enjoy! The best tips for making a Miami Vice recipe Take the Daiquiri out of the freezer and gently pour the Piña Colada over the top. Tip all the Piña Colada ingredients along with another handful of ice in the blender. Pour this into a hurricane glass and place it in the freezer.įor the Piña Colada part, you’ll need freshly squeezed pineapple juice (store bought is fine if you can’t get fresh) and decadent coconut cream. Blitz the strawberries with the rum, syrup, and lime in a blender with a handful of ice until smooth. Sweeten these with a little homemade simple syrup (or store bought). Another good one is Trois Rivières White Rum, as the spiced honey blends well with the strawberry and pineapple flavors.įor the Strawberry Daiquiri element, you’ll need some gorgeous strawberries and fresh lime juice - both best friends with rum. We like a Jamaican rum for this drink, such as Wray and Nephew Overproof Rum because the molasses notes don’t overpower this fruit-forward cocktail. The Miami Vice cocktail ingredients include good quality white rum. The Miami Vice cocktail is no exception and should be served just as extravagantly! How to make a Miami Vice cocktailĪlthough a Miami Vice recipe does mean doubling up on cocktail ingredients, don’t be put off by this duo drink. In the show, everything was over the top with 80s style and all the glitzy beach glam you can imagine.

But this means round-the-clock surveillance and continuing analysis. By that time, the threat will either materialize or it won’t, and the level will be adjusted accordingly.ĭEFCON 3 means that nuclear war has moved from the realm of “unlikely” to “possible.” Now the situation is becoming serious and needs to be monitored very closely. DEFCON 4 will usually last no longer than three months or so. For this reason, both DEFCON 5 and 4 are considered “peacetime” alert levels. The only difference between DEFCON 4 and DEFCON 5 is something is happening somewhere on the planet that has piqued the interest of the United States, something that involves a nuclear-armed nation and that requires a little extra attention, but the odds of a nuclear war are still considered unlikely. There are scenarios where it’s possible to jump straight from DEFCON 5 to DEFCON 1 with no warning whatsoever. It simply means the threat of a nuclear war is pretty low. This doesn’t indicate world peace, as some people incorrectly believe. The default Defense Condition for the US military nuclear forces is DEFCON 5.
