Can Chickens Fly
Many people want to know if chickens can fly, and what to do with backyard chickens in regards to flight. So, can chickens fly? In short, yes they can. However, they cannot fly very far or very high, and are not known for their flying abilities. We will cover a few common questions about chicken flight, including how high they can go, how far, and what to do with a flighty bird.
The chicken flight records show that chickens don't have a great ability to fly. The longest recorded flight of a chicken was 13 seconds, and the farthest distance recorded was over 301 feet. Although these are impressive by chicken standards, consider that birds like eagles can fly over 125 miles without landing.
Different breeds and birds have different abilities. One breed that is known for being able to fly well is the Wyandotte. These birds start flying at a young age and are known to be more flighty birds, although they don't fly well. On the other hand, frizzle chickens often cannot even jump up onto a perch due to their funny feathering!
Let's look at why chickens fly. There are many reasons your poultry may take to the air, but a few are most common. First, chickens will often fly when being chased or when they feel like they are in danger. Flight is a great survival mechanism, helping your flock get away from a predator or threat.
Chickens also fly out of curiosity and perseverance. If they see literal or proverbial greener grass, they may go to investigate. Chickens are extremely determined birds, and will do what they can to see what is going on on the other side of a fence. If there are good pickins on the other side of the fence, your birds may want to see what they can find.
Finally, chickens may fly to find a place to roost. Some breeds may be more prone to this than others. Ameraucanas, for example, love to perch up in trees. They may do this at dusk, or during the day to take a nap. They may jump from branch to branch and get pretty high up there! We've seen our ladies up ten feet or more in the tree.
How Far Can Chickens Fly?
So, can chickens fly long distances? They cannot. When they do fly, it tends to be just a few feet at a time. Many lighter breeds are able to fly a few meters at a time, but this is rare. During a scuffle with another chicken or a predator, you may see your flock taking a low and quick flight a few meters away. In more dramatic cases when a chicken is really trying to escape something, they often will travel over fifty feet in the air.
How High Can Chickens Fly?
This is another common question we hear quite a bit. People ask can chickens fly over fences, walls, or onto roofs. Like many other questions related to chicken flight, it really depends on the breed. Heavier chickens may top out at four feet, while lighter chickens often can reach up to seven feet. Chickens will jump up into trees, onto fences, or onto roofs often in steps. If there is something near a fence for a chicken to jump up to first, they may be able to get over. However, they can be trained to not clear fences or the roof.
According to Live Science, the most simple explanations are that chickens have too small of wings, and they are too large and heavy to fly. However, they were not always that way as we point out in our post 19 Interesting Facts about Chickens. Through selective breeding, we have domesticated chickens today that are larger and less flight-prone than their ancestors, the jungle fowl.
Clipping Your Chicken's Wings
Clipping a chicken's wings is considered harsh by some, while many choose to do it. It does not harm your chicken, but will dramatically impact their ability to fly. By clipping just the flight wings, the birds are prevented from gaining lift. They can still fly and escape danger, but it is much more difficult for them to get good air. Do your research to see if this is right for you. If you're interested in clipping your chickens' wings, make sure you do it right. You can find a good guide to clipping chicken wings from Permaculture.

Running Business Central in Docker using SQL on the host
This is not my first blog post about how to use SQL Server on the host, but it is definitely the one describing the easiest way to do it. With the latest version of BcContainerHelper you can (with one Run-BcContainer command) create a container which uses SQL Server on the host as database engine for the container.
The functionality was actually enabled in version 1.0.14, but there are a few bug fixes, so I recommend that you use the latest BcContainerHelper
In order for the scripts in this blog post to work, you need to install SQL Server on the Docker Host with mixed mode authentication. The scripts will connect using Windows Authentication and the container will connect using Username/Password authentication.
New-BcContainer has a new parameter called –replaceExternalDatabases. This switch will only take effect if you also specify databaseServer, databasePrefix, databaseName and databaseCredential.
When ReplaceExternalDatabases is included, the New-BcContainer will do 4 things, which it typically doesn't do:
 1. Remove all databases on databaseServer with databaseInstance (might be empty) where the name starts with databasePrefix. This is done using a new function called Remove-BcDatabase.
 2. Restore databases (single or multitenant) from the selected artifacts to databaseServer with databaseInstance (might be empty) starting with databasePrefix. This is done using a new function called Restore-BcDatabaseFromArtifacts.
 3. Start the container using databaseServer with databaseInstance (might be empty) as database server and databasePrefix+databaseName as database name, connecting using databaseCredential for authentication.
 4. Create the default tenant (if multitenant) and add the default super user specified in $credential.
The following script should setup a container using SQL Server on the host:
$password = $passwordSecret.SecretValue
$licenseFile = $licenseFileSecret.SecretValueText
$auth = "UserPassword"
$credential = New-Object pscredential -ArgumentList 'admin', $password
$artifactUrl = Get-BcArtifactUrl -country us
$containerName = "bcserver"
$databaseParams = @{
 "databaseServer" = 'host.containerhelper.internal'
 "databaseInstance" = ''
 "databasePrefix" = "$containerName-"
 "databaseName" = 'CRONUS'
 "databaseCredential" = New-Object pscredential'sa', $password
 "multitenant" = $true
New-BcContainer _USER_ -replaceExternalDatabases '
 -accept_eula '
 -containerName $containerName '
 -credential $credential '
 -auth $auth '
 -artifactUrl $artifactUrl '
 -licenseFile $licenseFile '
Note: It uses $containerName followed by a minus as database prefix, meaning that all databases on the SQL Server on the host with a name starting with bcserverwill be deleted according to the #1 in the description above.
After running this script, I will have 3 databases in my SQL Server:
No SQL processes running in my container:
and after some initialization, a running Business Central Container:
Note: If you are using an SQL Server (not the host), you need the SQL Server Client Tools installed on the host – the functions Remove-BcDatabase and Restore-BcDatabaseFromArtifacts (used by the replaceExternalDatabases functionality) both have a dependency on SQLPS and the smoServer DLL.
If you want to create a second container, using the same database, you can use this script:
New-BcContainer _USER_ '
 -accept_eula '
 -containerName "$($containerName)2" '
 -credential $credential '
 -auth $auth '
 -artifactUrl $artifactUrl '
Only difference is really that the licenseFile and the replaceExternalDatabases parameters are NOT included.
Note: In the latest BcContainerHelper, the containerHelper will automatically share encryption keys between containers on the same host, which are connecting to the same external database. If you are creating a second container on a different host, you will need to copy the encryption key to the second host yourself.
The replaceExternalDatabases functionality uses the Remove-BcDatabase function to remove existing databases. You can of course use this function manually as well, simply by specifying databaseServer, databaseInstance (if not blank) and databaseName (or pattern), like:
Note: that this is a dangerous command to run on a SQL Server.
The replaceExternalDatabases functionality uses the Restore-BcDatabasesFromArtifacts function to restore the database backup file from a set of artifacts to a database server specified by databaseServer, databaseInstance (or blank) and databaseName, like:
$artifactUrl = Get-BCArtifactUrl -country dk
Restore-BcDatabaseFromArtifacts '
 -artifactUrl $artifactUrl '
 -databaseServer localhost '
 -databasePrefix prefix '
 -databaseName CRONUS '
 -multitenant:$false '
Specifying -async means that the function won't wait for the restore to complete. A file with the databasePrefix followed by databasescreated.txt will be created in the containerhelper folder when the restore is complete. Without async, the function will wait for the restore to complete.
Note: The New-BcContainer uses async and will add an override to the container SetupDatabase.ps1 script which waits for the databasescreated file to appear. If something fails in the database restore, this might lead to a endless loop.

 1. Hi Freddy,
 Awesome, I am running a container with a database on host and it's working but only if I turn off the Windows Firewall for the Public Profile! Very weird! Do you have any idea why this is happening?
 I can't even ping host.containerhelper.internal when the firewall is turned on for the public profile.
 Posted a question on stackoverflow but on answers 😦
 2. HI Freddy,
 Thanks for this update. When I try to use the script, it keeps on failing with the below error. I am using SQL Server 2019. Mixed mode authentication is already enabled.
 Waiting for database creation to finish…………………………………………………………..
 Import Encryption Key
 Cannot establish a connection to the SQL Server/Database.
 This could be due to one of the following reasons:
 * SQL Server is not started.
 * The database does not exist.
 * Proper permissions have not been given to the NAV Server Account.
 Try again later or contact your system administrator.

What is jaggery (Gur) and how is it made? | 24 Mantra
how is jaggery made
What is jaggery (Gur) and how is it made?
Organic Food
Jaggery or Gur, as it is called in Hindi, has emerged as an amazing substitute to refined sugar. It is an unrefined non-centrifugal form of sugar that is widely consumed in Asia and certain parts of the Americas.
Aside from its sweetening properties, there are numerous health benefits of jaggery consumption regularly, and this fact has driven hordes of people to opt for jaggery in their diets instead of refined sugar.
It is an excellent substitute for refined sugar and also contains a host of nutrients and minerals. Moreover, the roasted woody aroma of jaggery has made it highly popular for use in many Indian sweets.
Around 70% of the global jaggery production happens in India. Typically, it is produced using the sugarcane juice but jaggery produced using palm juice is also common in a few countries.
If you are wondering how is jaggery made exactly, this post might clear up a few things for you. Moving forward, we will have a look at all the intricacies involved in jaggery production and how can you make jaggery at home. But first, let's have a look at the nutritional profile of jaggery.
Jaggery Nutritional Profile
When compared to regular refined sugar, jaggery has an impressive nutrient profile. Refined sugar only has empty calories that have almost zero nutritional value, but jaggery is rich in essential nutrients such as Iron, Potassium and Calcium.
This makes jaggery an excellent choice for health-conscious individuals who want a bit of nutritional value from the sweeteners they consume. Below is a comparison chart of the nutrient constituents of jaggery and refined sugar sourced from FatSecret:
Nutrient Value Per 100g Value Per 100g
Energy 383 Kcal 387 Kcal
Fat 0g 0g
Saturated Fat 0g 0g
Monounsaturated Fat 0g 0g
Polyunsaturated Fat 0g 0g
Carbohydrates 98.96g 99.98g
Sugar 98.13g 99.91g
Fibre 0g 0g
Protein 0.09g 0g
Sodium 3mg 0mg
Cholesterol 0mg 0mg
Potassium 31mg 2mg
Magnesium 160mg 0mg
Calcium 80mg 0mg
Iron 5.4mg 0mg
The table above clearly lays out the nutrient comparison between refined sugar and jaggery. As might be evident, the nutrient composition of jaggery is significantly rich as opposed to refined sugar that makes it fit for everyday consumption as a sweetener. Now, let's look at how is jaggery made.
How Is Jaggery Made?
Jaggery preparation involves boiling the sugarcane juice, and the process requires primarily 3 steps: extraction, storage, and boiling. Here is a detailed breakdown that explains how is jaggery made.
Juice Extraction
 - The sugarcanes are pressed or crushed in a machine, and all the juice is extracted from them.
 - The juice is collected and stored in large containers to be stored for several hours.
 - This process helps in separating suspended sediment from the juice and improves the texture of the finally produced jaggery.
 - The storage period settles the sediments to the bottom of the container, and the resultant clear juice is poured into a large flat bottomed vessel for boiling.
 - The sugarcane juice is stirred constantly, and impurities are sieved away until we get a brown and thick paste at the bottom of the vessel.
 - This dough-like substance is then transferred to mould of desired shapes and allowed to cool down.
 - Once the paste cools down entirely, it will solidify and become jaggery.
The colour and texture of the jaggery thus produced will highly depend upon the quality of the sugarcane and the quality of the juice that is produced. These steps layout how gur is madein a large scale preparation. If you are wondering how is jaggery made at home, keep on reading!
How Gur Is Made At Home?
These points explain every stage regarding how is jaggery made at home. Let's begin!
Ingredients required:
 - ¼ cup ladyfinger (Bhindi) water.
 - 450ml sugarcane juice.
 - Few ladyfingers.
That's it! These three ingredients are everything that you need to prepare 100% pure and unadulterated jaggery at home. The ladyfinger water helps in separating the greenish waste layer from the sugarcane juice while boiling. Now, let's look at how is jaggery made at home:
 - Cut a few ladyfingers in a bowl and mix ¼ cup of water.
 - Mix it well and then strain the water from the mixture.
 - Now, pour the sugarcane juice along with the ladyfingers water in a thick bottomed vessel and bring it to boil.
 - As the mixture starts to boil, you will notice that a greenish layer starts appearing at the top. Remove this layer using a sieve or a perforated ladle and boil the mixture further.
 - Keep boiling until the mixture thickens.
 - Now, to check the jaggery formation, take a small amount of the thick paste and put in in a glass of water.
 - If the jaggery dissolves, you need to boil the paste more. If it does not dissolve easily, you can take the mixture off the stove and let the mixture cool off.
 - Take a pan or mould and grease it's surface using ghee or vegetable oil.
 - Transfer the contents of the bowl to the mould and let it dry for a day or two.
 - Once the jaggery is dried, take a pointy object and remove it from the mould.
 - Let it dry again for a day or two so that the entire structure becomes hard.
 - Your 100% pure homemade jaggery is ready for consumption!
These steps might have made it clear as to how is jaggery made at home. Enjoy the wholesome goodness of this delicious sweetener as a standalone dessert or by mixing it with kheer or a recipe of your choice!
Also, organic jaggery is equally good if not better since it's free of harmful chemicals. Try 24 Mantra Organics's Jaggery Powder and taste the goodness of organic food.

Locations
A location is the relation between a soil profile and an Ident of the pipeline project. Once a soil profile gets assigned to a place on the pipeline, all necessary information should be available for calculation of the soil mechanical values at that point.
One can assign a soil profile as continuous to a specific Ident or discontinuous. For a discontinuous assignment one can assign a soil profile up to the Ident and one just after the Ident.

Fuzzy Generalized Fractal Dimensions Using Inter-Heartbeat Interval Dynamics in ECG Signals for Age Related Discrimination
International Journal of Engineering & Technology
Fractal theory is the propelled technique to analyze the non-linear signals with more complexity. Quantification of chaotic nature and complexity of the multifaceted therapeutic signals requires the estimation of the spectrum of Generalized Fractal Dimensions (GFD) where the complexity means greater inconstancy in the general form of fractal dimension range. This paper has proposed a fuzzy multifractal technique to analyze the age related classifications by using the Fuzzy Generalized Fractal
... neralized Fractal Dimensions (F–GFD) with Gaussian fuzzy valued function through the cardiac inter-beat interval dynamics in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. It has been revealed that, the designed Fuzzy GFD method accurately categorizes the young and old age subjects by graphical comparison with the typical GFD method. The classification rate of young and elderly subjects has also supported statistically by ANOVA test. Hence the fuzzified multifractal analysis accomplishes significantly to discriminate age groups than the classical multifractal analysis in heartbeat rate time series from ECG signals and also the conventional GFD is a specific case of the proposed F–GFD.

Reject Incoming Calls with a Phone Number Block List
The easiest way to reject incoming phone calls from specific phone numbers is to create a "virtual block list". The block list can then be used to filter incoming calls; automatically hanging up on any blocked numbers, and forward other callers as normal. This guide walks you through the process of setting up a virtual block list with sample code for Twilio Functions.
Block list sample code
Here's our phone number block list sample code:
exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
 // List all blocked phone numbers in quotes and E.164 formatting, separated by a comma
 let numberBlock = event.block || [ "_PHONE_", "_PHONE_" ];
 let twiml = new Twilio.twiml.VoiceResponse();
 let blocked = true;
 if (numberBlock.length > 0) {
if (numberBlock.indexOf(event.From) === -1) {
blocked = false;
} if (blocked) {
else { // if the caller's number is not blocked, redirect to your existing webhook twiml.redirect(""); }
callback(null, twiml);
When your Twilio phone number responds to incoming calls with this Functions script, the code looks at the phone number detected in our incoming call request, and compares it to the list of blocked numbers in Line 3. If the incoming call is from a blocked phone number, the call is rejected. If the incoming call is not from a blocked phone number, the script redirects to another URL for TwiML.
Here's what you'll need to modify:
Line 3: Update [ "_PHONE_", "_PHONE_" ] with the phone numbers you want to block calls from (in E.164 formatting).
Create a block list Function
 1. Access the Manage Functions page in Console.
 3. Select the Blank template, and then click Create
 4. Edit the Function's Properties fields:
 5. Edit the Function's Configuration fields:
 - CODE: Copy and paste your modified code (see the Block list sample code section above).
 6. Once your Function's fields are correct, click Save
Set your phone number to use your block list function
 1. Access the Active Numbers page in Console.
 2. Click the desired phone number to modify.
 3. Update your phone number's routing:
 - ACCEPT INCOMING: Voice Calls
 - A CALL COMES IN: Function
 - DROP-DOWN MENU: Select your block list function.
 4. Click Save when finished.

Communicating with Vocal Emotions
Talk by Oleksandr Talavera (Birmingham) as part of the Research Seminar Series of the IOS Economics Department.
This paper explores the interpersonal vocal communication of managers with analysts during earnings conference calls. We apply a novel machine learning technique on a sample of more than 20,000 earnings conference calls of S&P 500 firms to generate voice emotions measures. Focusing on analyst-manager conversations, we find evidence of reciprocal interactions when managers respond with a similar vocal emotion to analysts. We also document that managers, who dialogue with a female analyst, exhibit a more positive vocal response. Moreover, female managers and younger managers are more likely to display negative vocal emotions than their male and older colleagues. Further analysis shows that investors and analysts incorporate emotionally charged information in trading and earnings forecasts.

Scale Kubernetes Pods
Updated 1 day ago by Michael Cretzman
When you deploy a Kubernetes workload using Harness, you set the number of pods you want in your manifests and in the deployment steps.
With the Scale step, you can scale this number of running pods up or down, by count or percentage.
In this topic:
Before You Begin
Step 1: Add Scale Step
In your Harness Workflow, click Add Step, and select Scale. The Scale settings appear.
Name the step and then provide the scaling strategy, described below.
Step 2: Pick Count or Percentage
The Scale step updates the number of instances running, either by count or percentage.
In Instance Unit Type, select COUNT or PERCENTAGE.
 - COUNT — The number is simply the number of pods.
 - PERCENTAGE — A percentage of the pods defined in your Harness Service Manifests files or a previous Workflow step.
Step 3: Set the Number of Pods
Enter the number of pods to scale up or down compared to the number of instances specified before the Scale step.
The number may come from the Harness Service manifest or a previous Workflow step, whichever set the number of pods right before the Scale step.
For example, in you have replicas: 4 in a manifest in your Service, and you enter 50 PERCENT in Instances, then 2 pods are deployed in this step.
If you have an odd number of instances, such as 3 instances, and then enter 50% in Scale, the number of instances is scaled down to 2.
Step 4: Specify Resources to Scale
Enter the Harness built-in variable ${k8s.canaryWorkload} or the name of the resource in the format [namespace/]Kind/Name, with namespace optional. For example:
You can scale Deployment, DaemonSet, or StatefulSet.
You can only enter one resource in Workload. To scale another resource, add another Scale step.
Here is what a completed step looks like:
Option: Delegate Selector
If your Workflow Infrastructure Definition's Cloud Provider uses a Delegate Selector (supported in Kubernetes Cluster and AWS Cloud Providers), then the Workflow uses the selected Delegate for all of its steps.
In these cases, you shouldn't add a Delegate Selector to any step in the Workflow. The Workflow is already using a Selector via its Infrastructure Definition's Cloud Provider.
If your Workflow Infrastructure Definition's Cloud Provider isn't using a Delegate Selector, and you want this Workflow step to use a specific Delegate, do the following:
In Delegate Selector, select the Selector for the Delegate(s) you want to use. You add Selectors to Delegates to make sure that they're used to execute the command. For more information, see Select Delegates with Selectors.
Harness will use Delegates matching the Selectors you add.
If you use one Selector, Harness will use any Delegate that has that Selector.
If you select two Selectors, a Delegate must have both Selectors to be selected. That Delegate might also have other Selectors, but it must have the two you selected.
You can use expressions for Harness built-in variables or Account Default variables in Delegate Selectors. When the variable expression is resolved at deployment runtime, it must match an existing Delegate Selector.
For example, if you have a Delegate Selector prod and the Workflow is using an Environment also named prod, the Delegate Selector can be ${}. This is very useful when you match Delegate Selectors to Application component names such as Environments, Services, etc. It's also a way to template the Delegate Selector setting.
Option: Skip Steady State Check
If you select this, Harness will not check to see if the workload has reached steady state.
 - You can scale down to 0 to remove all instances.

How to guarantee the quality of insulating glass production
 - Author:fanyumaoyi
 - Source:chinamirrormanufacturer.com
 - Release on:2016-12-06
Insulating glass manufacturers to improve the quality of the insulating glass, in addition to the advanced equipment of insulating glass to control the process, efficient production, if we ignore the following safeguards to produce qualified insulated glass to get market recognition is out of the question. So in the process of production of hollow glass, 5 control measures strictly.
 (1) reduce production time
 Desiccant minimizing contact with the atmosphere of the time, reducing the adsorption loss and give the desiccant has a high adsorption capacity.
 (2) strictly controlled production environment temperature
 Main influence capacity and residual adsorption capacity of the production environment.
 (3) select the appropriate aluminium insulation
 The pore gas seams should be small, reducing the water absorption of zeolite during the operation.
 (4) select suitable desiccant
 To select the desiccant adsorption rate is relatively high and persistent.
 (5) water through the spread of polymers
 Rely mainly on select sealant of low permeability coefficients, determine a reasonable thickness of seal, reducing the temperature difference between inside and outside of the insulated glass (that is controlled in a certain temperature range temperature range of production and not so great).
 These measures through choice of materials, processing, control of all aspects of the environment, control of insulating glass, the quality will be greatly.
 ProfessionalInsulating glassThe production equipment, strict management, scientific process and quality control measures for the production of insulating glass, is a prerequisite for improving the quality of insulating glass.

How to Make Salted Duck or Chicken Eggs
Eggs submerged in salt water
Eggs submerged in salt water
In The Beginning
The existence of salted eggs dates to many centuries ago in Asian countries like China, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand. Salted eggs were probably a daily food among farmers and villagers where other foods were scarce and the people were poor. The only food they had to survive on in those days came from their own crops and farm animals. Preserved and salted foods were also common as they could be stored for a long time without refrigerators, which they didn't have back then.
Salted Duck Eggs
Duck eggs are often used in the making of salted eggs. The traditional way of making salted eggs is by covering the eggs in a salty mud paste and letting the eggs cure for many months. This method is still being used today. Other modern methods are also being used, and it could be one of the reasons why there are more and more inferior-quality salted eggs being sold out there.
The Chinese make salted duck eggs by coating them with a thick paste made from charcoal, salt, water and then wrapping each egg in a plastic bag. The Filipinos use a mixture of clay, salt, and water to coat the duck eggs. The duck eggs are then cured for a few weeks before they are ready to be sold in the markets.
Good Eggs or Bad Eggs
It is easy to tell if a cooked salted egg is of good quality or inferior type. A good salted egg has a bright yellow yolk in the middle that is oozing with thick yellow liquid. A poor quality salted egg lacks the yellow colour in its yolk, sometimes it's not even pale yellow and is often too salty to be eaten.
Where to Buy Salted Eggs
You can find salted duck eggs in most Asian grocery stores. Some of the eggs have been dyed with red or pink colour so as not to get them mixed up with the normal fresh eggs. Some eggs are wrapped individually in plastic bags and are still coated with the black charcoal paste. Half a dozen salted eggs usually cost around $6 from the grocery store.
Why Not Make Your Own
You can also make your own at home with chicken, duck, emu, or quail eggs. Duck eggs are still the best for making this particular dish. There is a particular taste in duck eggs that seems to bring out the aroma, texture, and taste of an authentic salted egg. So, go for duck if you can find them!

How to Make Salted Eggs
You will need the following ingredients/items:
 - 12 eggs
 - 500 grams cooking salt
 - 4 cups water
 - Large glass container with a lid
 1. Pour the cooking salt and water into a pot and boil.
 2. Stir until all the salt has melted and keep boiling until you see lots of salt crystals start to form on the side of the pot. This means the salt water has reached a saturation point and the salt has started to crystallise.
 3. Remove pot from heat and let the salt water cool to room temperature.
 4. Put the eggs in the glass container.
 5. Slowly pour in the salt water and salt crystals until all the eggs are submerged in the water.
 6. Cover the container with the lid and leave it in a cool dark place.
A good quality salted egg is bright yellow and moist inside.

Waiting Time...
It takes approximately 4 weeks for the eggs to turn salty. If you prefer less salty eggs, you can take out one egg to test for saltiness after three weeks. Boil the salted egg in water for 10 minutes until it is hard-boiled. Let it cool and then remove the shell.
Tasting Time
Taste and see if it is salty enough for your liking. If not, leave the eggs in the container for another week or two, depending on how salty you want them to be.
When you are satisfied with the saltiness of the eggs, remove them from the salt water and store the eggs in the refrigerator until they are needed for cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Salted eggs can be served as a small side dish with rice or noodles. They can also be used as a filling for Chinese mooncakes.

Questions & Answers
Question: Can I reuse the salt and water to make another batch of salted eggs?
Answer: You will need to reboil the salt and water if you want to reuse the solution.
Question: Why is salted chicken egg not commercialized like salted duck egg? What is the difference between a salted chicken egg and salted duck egg?
Answer: From my own understanding, the duck egg has a thicker shell that allows it to store better for a long time. Also, duck eggs have a distinct flavor that some people do not like - preserving the duck eggs in salt tends to get rid of that flavor. Duck eggs have bigger yolks, salted egg yolks are becoming very popular in a lot of Asian recipes!
Question: Why should we use a glass container for salted egg stock? What about a plastic Tupperware?
Answer: Personally I like to use glass containers for storing food. You may use Tupperware containers if you prefer them.
Question: After curing salted eggs for 4 weeks, do I need to boil them first before eating or I can just peel them and eat it without cooking?
Answer: The salted eggs need to be cooked before consuming. You can boil them like hard-boiled eggs, or you can break the shell and put them in a bowl and steam until they are cooked. The salted eggs can also be mixed with meat or vegetables for cooking.
Question: How does the egg become salty when cooking?
Answer: Eggshells are porous and salt water can go through the eggshells by a process called osmosis.
Question: Why do the eggs float when put in a container with salt water?
Answer: Salt water has a higher density that causes the eggs to float.
Question: Can the eggs be boiled first before putting them in the jar of salty and water?
Answer: If the eggs are cooked first, they will become hard-boiled eggs. In the solid form, they will take very long to become salted eggs.
Question: Is it true that it is less hygienic to use a mud/soil in making salted eggs?
Answer: I am sure the mud/soil used for salted eggs production commercially has some sort of quality control.
Question: What if an egg is cracked before you put in the glass to make salted eggs?
Answer: If the egg is cracked, do not put it in the container.
Question: Can I directly boil duck eggs with the salt solution?
Answer: If you boil the duck eggs in the salt solution, the process will only cook the eggs but not make them salty.
Question: How long do salted eggs keep for, and how do I store them properly after I finish salting them?
Answer: The salted eggs can be kept in the fridge for several weeks.
Question: I've just recently made a batch of salted chicken eggs for the first time, it was brined for 16 days. The eggs were cooked all they like hard-boiled. Is it normal for the yolk part to be green in color? It sure tasted good though.
Answer: The color of the yolk has something to do with the quality of the egg. Good quality eggs have a bright orange color while poorer quality egg yolks are sometimes pale yellow. I haven't seen green color in the yolks but if the eggs were fresh enough when you bought them, it should not be a problem.
Question: How to color duck eggs?
Answer: Food dye can be used if you want to color the duck eggs.
Question: Is it okay if I don't boil the water and salt when making salted eggs?
Answer: Boiling the water helps to dissolve the salt and attain the saturation point.
Question: How do you preserve a salted egg?
Answer: You can keep the salted eggs in the fridge for a few weeks.
Question: I just bought my first salted eggs and I am not sure what to do with them first. Do I need to wash them or cook them before consuming them?
Answer: If you have bought ready made salted eggs from the store, just give them a wash before you cook them.
Question: Can the curing time be shorter for salted eggs?
Answer: If the curing time is less than 3 weeks, the eggs will not be salty enough and will not store well.
Question: Is there a way to remove the salt content from imported preserved chicken eggs?
Answer: I would suggest soaking the uncooked eggs in water for one to two weeks and changing the water every other day.
Question: Can we make a spicy salted egg?
Answer: You can make the salted egg spicy when it is ready to serve.
Question: Do I have to wait 4 weeks to complete the salted duck egg?
Answer: Yes, it takes time to make salted egg.
Question: Can I use slightly cracked eggs like very small crack on the shells to make salted duck eggs?
Answer: I would prefer not to use eggs with visible cracks.
Question: Does a salted

What is a Bilateral Condition?
A bilateral condition is a disease or condition that affects both sides of the body. Examples of a bilateral condition include hip dysplasia or luxating patellas, where both hips or kneecaps are affected. Often, the condition starts with one side of the body and will later develop on the other side of the body.
How Bilateral Conditions Work
Bilateral conditions can be considered a pre-existing condition with many pet insurance plans and providers. For example, if your pet had hip dysplasia on the left side of their body before they were insured, it may be considered a pre-existing condition if they develop hip dysplasia on their right side, even though their right side was unaffected when they started the policy.
If your pet has any conditions prior to signing up for pet insurance, it's important that you look into whether they would be considered bilateral conditions and if your pet would be covered under the pet insurance plan you choose.
- Bilateral conditions are diseases and conditions that have a high rate of affecting both sides of the body.
- Some pet insurance plans will not cover bilateral conditions if the bilateral condition had already affected one side of the body before your pet was insured.

Smokey was an 11 foot-tall, 7 ton African bull elephant who was housed at the Oakland Zoo in California for over 25 years. He was well-known for being one of three male elephants in North America capable of breeding and he was also known for killing one of the zoo's animal keepers in 1991. The trampling death of the zookeeper led to new methods of caring for elephants in captivity that did not require the trainers to be in direct contact with the animals. Smokey passed away in 2001 from an unknown illness.

Gerbils And Exercise Wheels
How do you get gerbils to use an exercise wheel?
By Donna Anastasi
Posted: May 17, 2010, 2:40 p.m. EDT
Q: I have three gerbils living together in a 20-gallon long tank setup. None of them ever run on the wheel that I have in their cage. They mostly use it to burrow under. Is there a way to teach them to use a wheel, if it would be beneficial to their health?
A: The best type of wheel for gerbils is an 8-inch diameter, wire mesh (not slatted or plastic) wheel. A gerbil's tail could get caught in an old-style slatted wheel, and gerbils will chew a plastic wheel to bits. Some gerbils like a wheel and others don't.
The best way to get gerbils to run on a wheel is to offer a wheel when they are young, at about 5 weeks old. Wire it to the mesh lid of their tank so it hangs a few inches above the litter. Gerbils like the challenge of jumping and climbing on a wheel, and once inside may run on it. Try wiring the wheel so it holds still until they get used to sitting in it, then unwire it so it moves and they can run in it.
A final tip is that gerbils learn from watching gerbils in other tanks. If you ever go away and have someone with wheel-aholic gerbils babysit yours, you might come back to see your gerbils happily running in their wheel!
If your gerbils never take to the wheel, give them other things for exercise. Some examples are: a metal climbing structure or a branch from the reptile section of the pet store, deep litter to dig and burrow in, a dust bath to roll in, timothy hay, unscented toilet tissue, a PVC pipe as a tunnel, and plenty of cardboard boxes and tubes to gnaw up.

Scrubbing Sensitive Data
As with any third-party service it's important to understand what data is being sent to Sentry, and where relevant ensure sensitive data either never reaches the Sentry servers, or at the very least it doesn't get stored.
These are some great examples for data scrubbing that every company should think about:
 - PII (Personally Identifiable Information) such as a user's name or email address, which post-GDPR should be on every company's mind.
 - Authentication credentials, like your AWS password or key.
 - Confidential IP (Intellectual Property), such as your favorite color, or your upcoming plans for world domination.
We offer the following options depending on your legal and operational needs:
 - filtering or scrubbing sensitive data within the SDK, so that data is not sent to Sentry. Different SDKs have different capabilities, and configuration changes require a redeployment of your application.
 - configuring server-side scrubbing to ensure Sentry does not store data. Configuration changes are done in the Sentry UI and apply immediately for new events.
 - running a local Relay on your own server between the SDK and Sentry, so that data is not sent to Sentry while configuration can still be applied without deploying.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
Our newer SDKs do not purposefully send PII to stay on the safe side. This behavior is controlled by an option called send-default-pii.
Turning this option on is required for certain features in Sentry to work, but also means you will need to be even more careful about what data is being sent to Sentry (using the options below).
If you do not wish to use the default PII behavior, you can also choose to identify users in a more controlled manner, using our user identity context.
Scrubbing Data
SDKs provide a before-send hook, which is invoked before an event is sent and can be used to modify event data to remove sensitive information. Using before-send in the SDKs to scrub any data before it is sent is the recommended scrubbing approach, so sensitive data never leaves the local environment.
In Python a function can be used to modify the event or return a completely new one. If you return None, the event will be discarded.
import sentry_sdk
def strip_sensitive_data(event, hint):
 # modify event here
 return event
There's a few areas you should consider that sensitive data may appear:
 - Stack-locals → some SDKs (Python + PHP), will pick up variable values within the stacktrace. This can be scrubbed or disabled altogether, if necessary
 - Breadcrumbs → some SDKs (for example, JavaScript, Java logging integrations) will pick up previously executed log statements. Do not log PII if using this feature and including log statements as breadcrumbs in the event. Some backend SDKs will surface DB queries which may need to be scrubbed
 - User context → automated behavior is controlled via send-default-pii
 - HTTP context → query strings may be picked up in some frameworks as part of the HTTP request context
For more details, see Filtering Events.
Contextual information
Instead of sending confidential information in plaintext, considering hashing it:
Sentry.setTag("birthday", checksumOrHash("08/12/1990"));
This will allow you to correlate it within internal systems if needed, but keep it confidential from Sentry.
User details
Your organization may determine that emails are not considered confidential, but if they are, consider instead sending your internal identifier:
Sentry.setUser({ id: });
// or
Sentry.setUser({ username: user.username });
Doing this will ensure you still benefit from user-impact related features.
Logging integrations
As a best practice you should always avoid logging confidential information. If you have legacy systems you need to work around, consider the following:
 - Anonymize the confidential information within the log statements (for example, swap out email addresses -> for internal identifiers)
 - Use beforeBreadcrumb to filter it out from breadcrumbs before it is attached
 - Disable logging breadcrumb integration (for example, as described here)

Social Loafing
Definition: Social Loafing is in psychology and sociology regarded as the tendency of individuals to reduce efforts when working on a collective task (i.e., when outputs are pooled with those of other group members) as compared to when the individual works alone. It happens because all members of the group are combining their efforts to reach a common goal. The group members tend to contribute less than what they would if they had to do a task alone.
The phenomenon is regarded as one of the main reasons groups are often less productive than the combined performance of their members working as individuals.

Roman Food Storage Jar
Shipping calculated at checkout.
This simple but functional Roman food storage jar is based on one found during excavations at Nottingham. Plain ceramic vessels such as this would have been widely used in kitchens across the Roman Empire, on a daily basis.
Earthenware, terracotta
Approx. 205 mm tall, 120 mm diameter
This replica Roman pot has been hand made in Northumberland by Potted History, inspired by original artefacts. It has been wood fired to emulate authentic the original Roman firing conditions, to a temperature of between 800°C & 1000°C. This process often results in variations of the surface colour and texture, emulating original Roman Pottery and giving each pot it's unique character.
Health and Safety
This is a Museum Quality Replica made using the tools and techniques that would have been used during the Roman era. As this is an unglazed pot with a porous surface it will absorb some of the flavours during us, which does add to the flavour of future dishes. However, it does also mean that this pot does not meet modern Health and Safety standards and therefore we do not advise that it is used for food storage with. When the Romans cooked in ceramic pots they would rely on applying sufficient heat to the pot and contents to ensure that all bacteria was killed. Heating to over 70°C for at least 10 minutes would have killed most disease causing bacteria and temperatures of 100°C would do even more.

Fingerprint image enhancement is an essential preprocessing step in fingerprint recognition application. There are many authors proposed the different fingerprint enhancement methods. Most present well-known methods are base on Gabor filters. However, the present proposed Gabor filters almost can not be efficient in some cases such as: the local orientation changes rapidly and the fingerprint image is heavily noisy. This paper proposes a novel filter design technique based on the orientation consistency to improve the Gabor filter with the aim that achieves higher efficiency in clarifying the high curvature ridges of the noisy fingerprint images. It is called adaptive orientation consistency-based Gabor filter (AOC-BGF). Actually, this is the technique which tunes adaptively the Gabor filter window size based on analyzing the orientation consistency. The orientation consistency describes how well the orientations over a neighborhood are consistent with the dominant orientation. The performance of the minutiae detection process on the database FVC2004 DB4 shows the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.


Why do some people think french people are cold?
Are French people cold? Why Are French People so Rude? Why are French people often described as arrogant?
 1. 1 They're hostile
 A recent international survey showed that the french capital was one of the most hostile touristic destination in the world.

Strategic Resource Allocation
SRA is a process by which to examine the ways our resources are being invested and addresses all institutional costs that will provide a plan to rebuild EWU financial health & sustainability.
The overall approach to strategic resource allocation (SRA) entails a systematic, collaborative, and transparent process to examine the ways our resources are being invested. The process is modeled after Robert C. Dickeson's book Prioritizing Academic Programs and Services (free access through EWU Library), and it will be used to address all institutional costs—both academic programs and support functions.
The effort is divided into several phases and will be conducted in a transparent manner. The campus community will be informed of all process elements and have the opportunity for input to ensure that all institutional activities are treated fairly.

Can Solar Backpacks Get Wet?
Before investing in a good piece of gear like a solar backpack, it makes sense that you want to make sure it will hold up. There are a lot of different rumors, stories, and claims about how solar backpacks handle water. This article is here to answer all of your questions on the topic.
Solar backpacks are water resistant, but not waterproof. The solar panels will not be damaged from water or rain. So it's perfect fine for solar backpacks to get wet, but as with any pack you don't want an exposed electronic charging when the rain is pouring down and you're soaked.
raindrops on solar panel
Solar Power Must Be Weather Resistant
Considering that solar power by definition needs to be used outdoors, it seems odd to me that so many people wonder if solar backpacks can handle rain.
Solar backpacks are just as durable as your average backpack and many times even more so. While no backpack is likely to be 100% waterproof, solar packs are almost certainly going to be water-resistant.
KEY POINT: Basically questions about solar backpacks usually revolve around how the panels hold up. Solar panels themselves are waterproof, resilient, and designed to get through any weather!
That being said, it is important to take certain precautions. In the same way you wouldn't just jam your laptop into a backpack with no raincoat or protective poncho over the top when it was pouring rain outside, you should take all precautions when using a solar pack.
That has to do with water soaking through backpack material, not whether a pack is solar or not.
As for charging electronics while going through rain, if you have a full cover poncho so no rain is getting through then you should be fine.
Believe it or not, the solar backpacks are still pulling in solar energy during cloudy or rainy weather.
The amount being pulled in is much lower than on a sunny day, but the panels are still working to pull what little energy they can even during inclement weather.
This is a pleasant surprise for many people, as is finding out that portable solar panels can charge via LED lights indoors.
But the solar panels you will find on modern backpacks are designed to go through the wear and tear that they will see through everyday life and use.
Solar Power Made Practical Use
Solar power backpacks are meant to be reliable. Because of the long-time negative news campaigns run against solar power decades ago, there's an unfair (and normally not true) perception of solar as being unreliable.
Which means solar gear needs to work at a higher standard just to get the benefit of the doubt.
So when people ask are solar backpacks reliable the answer needs to be far more enthusiastic than a tepid yes.
This is why many items that are solar powered are built as good or even better than the standard non-solar equivalents.
Your solar backpack will be fine in the rain as long as you take the regular precautions you would with any other backpack.
Quality of Backpack Matters
As with regular backpackers, the quality of the brand of backpack you buy matters when seeing how well your solar backpack will function and hold up.
If you pay for cheap you will get cheap.
The top brand solar backpacks are exceptional. There are even companies that really focus on making solar packs for hikers and backpackers. Obviously these must be able to hold up against inclement weather.
The chances of hiking for three months without getting caught in the rain are going to be next to nothing.
Unless you're doing a desert hike, in which case you wouldn't be worrying about how rain proof or water resistant your pack is.
But if you go with a quality solar backpack, you won't have to worry about that.
We talk about some of our favorite picks for solar backpacks in the "Are solar backpacks reliable?" that we linked to a bit further up.
If you're lazy the picks basically are (with links to up to date Amazon listings):
A good solar backpack will be water resistant and the solar paneling will be just fine no matter how much the water comes down.
How Resilient Solar Panels Are in Storms: A Personal Experience
We survived the horrific Derecho in Cedar Rapids, IA back in 2020. To put the short summary, including those asking "What the heck is a Derecho?" Imagine a category 3 hurricane at full force for two to three hours slamming into the middle of the Midwest of the United States.
A place not exactly known for hurricanes, to put it mildly.
The city was smashed, and large chunks had no power for three weeks. Virtually every house within five blocks had roof damage. At least the ones that still had roofs.
Ours was undamaged. Even the "I don't know how much I trust that structure much less roof" garage (which also has some solar panels on it).
Those solar panels were like Viking shields. Terrifying new weather condition unlike any ever seen in Iowa's history?
Wind, rain, giant tree branches, the panels couldn't care less.
Granted – those are full scale solar panels for homes and buildings versus the smaller portable solar panels put onto backpacks.
But it goes to show that solar panels in all their forms aren't considered about rain, sleet, or snow.
If this seems amazing keep in mind they have already developed solar panels that harvest additional energy from rain drops.
As anyone who has watched solar grow over the past 20 years, the technology is only going to continue to get better and better.
The Verdict: Solar Backpacks Work Well in Rain
The only major difference between solar backpacks and regular packs is that the solar packs give you the option of harnessing solar power in order to charge electronics like smartphones, laptops, or tablets.
These will be just as water resistant as most well built backpacks while helping you to keep important electronics charged even when you're a long way from the nearest charging port.
As long as you stay with the proven dependable solar backpack brands you can rest easy knowing that your solar backpack will function just fine in the rain.
Hi, I'm Shane! I've always felt a passion for two worlds: one in technology and one for the great oudoors away from it. The amazing advances in solar power in my lifetime have really opened up the possibilities, and both my brother and I are deeply passionate about where solar power meets outdoor gear!

SplitterContainer control with a fixed panel is resized due to the DPI setting, the
SplitterDistance value is not changed. This may result in the fixed panel appearing either too small or too large, depending on whether the DPI setting was increased or decreased.
For example, a Form with
AutoScaleMode set to
ScaleMode.DPI, and a
FixedPanel set to
SplitterDistance set to 140 appears as follows at it's native DPI (100%):
This is how it appears when run at a higher DPI (125%):
All the controls were resized, but
SplitterDistance was left unchanged at 140.
Note that this is only a problem when
SplitterContainer.FixedPanel is set to
Panel2. If it was set to
SplitterDistance would be adjusted to match the resizing.
The solution to adjust
SplitterDistance during the
Form.Shown event handler. The resizing does not work properly if performed in the constructor or the
Form.Load event handler.
Using the code
Include the following code snippet in your Form-derived class:
private SizeF scale = new SizeF(1.0f, 1.0f);
protected override void ScaleControl(SizeF factor, BoundsSpecified specified)
scale = new SizeF(scale.Width * factor.Width, scale.Height * factor.Height);
private void Fix(Control c)
foreach (Control child in c.Controls)
if (child is SplitContainer)
SplitContainer sp = (SplitContainer)child;
private void Fix(SplitContainer sp)
float sc = (sp.Orientation == Orientation.Vertical)? scale.Width : scale.Height;
if (sp.FixedPanel == FixedPanel.Panel1)
sp.SplitterDistance = (int)Math.Round((float)sp.SplitterDistance * sc);
else if (sp.FixedPanel == FixedPanel.Panel2)
int cs = (sp.Orientation == Orientation.Vertical)? sp.Panel2.ClientSize.Width :sp.Panel2.ClientSize.Height;
int newcs = (int)((float)cs * sc);
sp.SplitterDistance -= (newcs - cs);
Remember to call
Fix(this) from the Form's
Shown event handler. For Example:
private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
Points of Interest
I am puzzled as to why the SplitterDistance values must be adjusted during the
event handler, and not during
Form.Load or the constructor. If anyone can explain this, please leave a comment.

Local councils charge rates on all properties in their areas to raise funds to pay for the services and infrastructure they provide.
Councils spend money on a wide range of services and infrastructure, including:
- roads and bridges
- housing planning and development
- waste and recycling
- water and sewer drainage
- sport and recreation
- health and safety.
About 60% of council revenue comes rates. This is the only tax councils are allowed to raise.
Property values and rates
In South Australia, council rates are a form of property taxation and property values play an important part in determining how much each individual rate payer contributes.
As it is a system of taxation, the rates paid may not directly relate to the services used by each rate payer. An 'ad valorem' principle applies. This means that the higher the value of the property, the higher the amount to be paid in the form of rates.
A full explanation of how rates are determined can be found on the website of the Local Government Association of South Australia.

Engineer Consultant Positions In UK Defence
In the UK defence sector, there are a multitude of engineering specialists who are needed to develop projects and products to help fulfil various missions. Chemical engineers are needed to develop solutions for water purification processes, the production of meals for the field, and other issues involving chemical reactions. Electrical engineers are needed to ensure that the wiring and control boards of every military vehicle and piece of machinery are working at peak efficiency. Civil engineers need to help military personnel and local leaders develop bridges, temporary settlements, and other structures needed for strategic and humanitarian needs. However, the number of engineering specialists in the UK defence sector is relatively low.
Many engineers choose to work in the private sector, where there are plenty of lucrative jobs available to the right candidates. The limited number of specialists is often out in the field, working in all parts of the world helping fulfil the mission of UK forces. As such, the military and the government rely heavily upon engineering consultants in order to help with domestic issues and consultation about policy. Graduates and young professionals in the United Kingdom who have engineering knowledge and want to be part of the UK defence sector should consider working as a consultant. Engineering firms, consultancies, and government agencies are always looking to cultivate solid young talent into experienced consultants. Engineering consultants often are tasked with more than just military projects, as there are peaks and valleys of consultancy needs.
However, engineering firms often rely heavily upon defence contracting to fulfil their annual quotas. As such, there is a steady stream of work for engineering consultants. Engineer consultant positions in UK defence provide a number of challenges not available in private organizations. After all, consultants often have to deal with expensive military equipment, massive public projects, and consultations about buildings that will hep keep soldiers and officers safe. The importance of the work is often compounded by the difficult environments in which their work needs to be done. The UK defence network covers allies in humid conditions, deserts, and mountainous environments.
These challenges are exhilarating for young professionals who want to use their skills for a greater purpose. There are a variety of ways to find engineer consultant opportunities in the United Kingdom. Graduates can research the leading firms in the engineering field, who will often provide consulting services to the government and military at some point.
As well, young engineering consultants can speak with a recruiter in order to fulfil their need for a great consulting job that involves the defence industry.

Soft Set Theoretic Approach for Dimensionality Reduction
A reduct is a subset of attributes that are jointly sufficient and individually necessary for preserving a particular property of a given information system. The existing reduct approaches under soft set theory are still based on Boolean-valued information system. However, in the real applications, the data usually contain non-Boolean values. In this paper, an alternative approach for attribute reduction in multi-valued information system under soft set theory is presented. Based on the notion of multi-soft sets and AND operation, attribute reduction can be defined. It is shown that the reducts obtained are equivalent with Pawlak's rough reduction.


How to Find out What Is Taking up Space on an iPhone (4 Steps)
By C. Taylor
The Apple iPhone has a finite amount of memory that must house photos, videos, music, apps and data. Without memory card support, you can't simply change cards to create storage space. Therefore, you'll eventually need to clean the iPhone to create space for new apps or files. The first step in creating space is knowing what is taking up the most space on the device.
Step 1
Tap "Settings" from the iPhone's home screen.
Step 2
Tap "General" and then "Usage."
Step 3
Look in the "Storage" section to see which apps and file types use the most space. The list is in descending order by the amount of memory used, so the top-most apps use the most space. If you need to see more than the top 10 memory-consumers, tap "Show All Apps."
Tap any listed item to see further details of its memory usage.

|The First Televised Orchestra Concert
Philadelphia Orchestra during the First
Televised Orchestra Concert
Photograph by Jules Schick 20 March 1948
At 5:00 p.m. on 20 March 1948, the Philadelphia Orchestra made broadcasting history as the first American orchestra to perform on network television. The hour-long concert, produced by WCAU-TV, the Philadelphia affiliate of the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), was broadcast live from the Academy of Music at the corner of Broad and Locust Streets. The broadcast followed close on the heels of an agreement between the American Federation of Musicians, led by James Petrillo, and the networks, which ended a three-year ban on live music performances on television. Once the agreement had been reached, the networks jockeyed for the distinction of being the first to televise an orchestra concert. Soon after the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) had announced plans to telecast an hour-long all-Wagner concert by the NBC Symphony Orchestra under Arturo Toscanini at 6:30 p.m. on 20 March 1948, CBS countered by scheduling a concert by the Philadelphia Orchestra for the same evening, ninety minutes earlier.The Philadelphia orchestra performed two works: the overture to Carl Maria von Weber's opera Der Freischutz and the recently rediscovered Symphony no. 1 by Sergei Rachmaninoff, which had received its United States premiere by the orchestra the previous evening.

How scary might it look if you thought you had already turned off the electric stove, but it continuously made noise?
Of course, there is a reasonable cause why your electric stove behaves that way and keeps on clicking when off.
Can an Electric Oven Making Clicking Noises Indicate Danger?
Not at all. An oven or a furnace making a clicking noise is standard when you engage the oven igniter. Once it is engaged, you can hear around 3 to 5 clicks before the burner reaches the constant heating level.
Check oven fan motor is working. A conventional gas oven has an electric fan to assist in controlling the heat.
PRO TIP: Noisy electric stove igniters could be dirty. When cooking, dirt and grime can collect around the spark ignition switch and stay there for a while. When stuck for long, this mess will choke on the knob and prevent it from turning smoothly.
Before you proceed into the delusion that something weird is going on with your stove, it is better to keep calm and that this kind of situation is simple to solve.
Next Read: Why My Microwave Making Popping Noise?
Perhaps, before we can answer why electric stoves make noise, it is better to ask, "do electric stoves click"?
Reasons Behind Electric Stoves Making Noise When Off
To completely get enlightened on how an electric stove can make a noise is to get familiar with the parts.
Your electric stove mainly has the following parts:
- Burners or coils
- Burner cap
- Induction cooktop; gas cooktop for gas range
- Control panel: Manual control panel includes knobs, while the digital control panel depends on flat panels.
- Drip pan
- Control knobs
The most important part of an electric stove is the heating units or heating elements. The coil or burner, burner cover, and drip pan comprise the electric stove's heating element.
Conventional electric stoves and even a gas stoves have a manual control knob, a mechanical timer, and a burner grate. Digital electric stoves have a different design. And it also depends on the brand of electric stove you have at home.
For example, the Wolf igniter keeps clicking when off, which means something in the control knob prevents it from returning to its normal position. Make sure that there is nothing stuck into it, and check if the clicking sound continues.
Most of the clicking sound from an electric stove would come from control knobs but in other parts.
Let's find them.
- Food debris around manual igniters.
- Moisture buildup.
- Internal electrical malfunction on burners.
Common Electric Stove Noise and Troubleshooting:
Electric Stove Making a Buzzing Noise
Old electric stoves have conventional electric coils. These burner coils will produce will buzz, rattle, or vibrate when heating up due to the welding design on the heating element.
Electric Hob Making a Clicking Noise
The clicking or ticking noise on the hob is normal. But when it becomes a ticking noise, it could be that the hob design does not fit perfectly.
Next Read: Gas Oven Sounds Like a Blowtorch : [5 Easy Ways to Fix]
The ticking noise could also come from the initial coil heating as it revs up as the heat reacts to the metal material of the cooktop.
The coils of your electric stove are made of metal. So when the coils start to heat while cooking, it will produce a popping sound when something hits the coil. Since coils are scorching and cool down gradually, they will typically make noise when attracted to an opposite temperature. To solve?
Let it cool down before attempting to clean it.
Avoid spilling food debris on the coils, especially when hot.
It is normal to hear a humming noise from your electric stove when turning it on the first time. This humming sound or buzzing noise continues while the coils are burning.
If the humming sound increases and does not stop, there could be something wrong with the coil or its attachment to the hob.
The sparking noise coming from your electric stove could result from loose wiring or defective heating elements. Most of the parts in the heating element are metal, so any loose connection could initiate a spark anytime.
A broken spark plug or spark electrode can produce a spark in seconds. Do not splice on your own, as handling electrical matters is deadly. Call an experienced electrician or bring your electric stove for repair.
The ticking noise from your electric stove could come from the internal settings of the switch. This means that there is an electrical malfunction happening inside the wiring of the controller button.
Let your professional stove dealer or repairman check the electrical wiring of your stove and fix the issue. Don't attempt to do it by yourself.
PRO TIP: Is it dangerous when you hear a clicking noise? Sometimes it is. When the igniter is blocked, it is hazardous for the coil to heat without letup.
Signs You Need a New Electric Stove
When we encounter troubles with our home appliances, such as electric stoves, the first thing in mind is to call the repair guy.
Hoping that your appliance is under warranty, you get to enjoy a free service to fix your electric stove, especially when it is making weird noises.
An electric stove that is beyond repair means you have to say goodbye. Though it is not evident on your part because you are not an expert on electrical matters, here we give you hints that you should start thinking about buying a new electric stove and replacing the broken one.
- Broken plug and fuse box: If after trying to use other outlets but your stove doesn't on, there's something wrong with the electrical circuit breaker or power supply.
- Not heating/rapid heating: if you encounter any of these two electrical issues, have the knobs checked. If they are not the source of non-heating or overheating, it could be loose coils or coil failure. Coils are failing to glow red means you should replace them.
- Scorched countertops: When you notice that the countertop of your stove is turning yellow, it is having trouble controlling the heat. This indicates the cooling fan isn't working anymore or the seal is worn out, and the unit has to go.
How Long Does the Cooling fan on an Electric Cooktop Run?
The cooling fan in an electric stove serves as a supplement to quicken and balance the heat distribution in the cooking. This cooling fan takes a while to cool after cooking. It would take around an hour and a half or less for it to cool down completely.
The other essential purpose of the convection fan wall oven is to dissipate hot air faster. This is effective if you leave the convection oven door open. But if one oven fan blade is broken, it is not that efficient.
- Bad top burners: You can exchange bad burners for working burners. But if the burner still doesn't heat, it could be the socket of the switch.
How Long Does the Surface of an Electric Cooktop Stay Hot?
- The cooling down of your electric stove cooktop depends on how long you use the burners and how many burners you use simultaneously.
- If it takes ten minutes to heat them, it is longer to cool down unless you lower the heat instantly. You can use a cold cloth to wipe the surface if you feel the top has cooled down enough to touch.
- Most electric stoves have indicator lights saying that the burner is off.
Can Electric Stoves Explode?
An explosion will only happen for severe coil or heating element problems. The start of sparks often come from loose wiring connections and defective sockets.
Since the current is a powerful and dangerous energy, it can start a fire with a slight flicker. So, depending on the scenario, yes, electric stoves can explode.
For gas appliances, the spark module is faulty when you see a slight spark between the ignitor and the edge of the gas stove burner.
PRO TIP: Electric stoves last for around 10 to 15 years. An old age stove more than that needs replacing because even parts keep updating in time.
It is your daily life that is at stake here. Don't settle for old and failing electrical appliances such as your electric stove. Take note that cooking is not just an everyday activity, depending on how many times you cook and eat in a day. So it is only expected that your electric stove will burn out from its normal function.
Carelessness is also a factor in why your stove may not be functioning well and creates unusual noises when you cook and even when it is off.
Whatever the case could be, if it is out of the repairman's hands, it is time to shop for a new electric stove to save you money, time, and life. Even the skilled stove technician would recommend the same if he didn't figure out the real issue.
Enjoy your peace of mind while cooking, knowing that you saved a ton of money on needless repairs by purchasing a brand-new unit and protecting your home from fire.
If you wish to find similar articles that deal with sound and noise, you will be surprised that there's more to learn! So keep in the know all the time.
Robert is an electronic engineer with more than five years of experience with a solid affinity for helping people reduce noise. He writes about these silent home appliances and easy soundproofing measures to help everyone avoid the negative effect of extended exposure to high noise levels.

The purpose of this blog is to discuss ways that a veteran without a 100% VA disability rating can use Total Disability/Individual Unemployability (TDIU) to achieve the same results. Although many veterans seek to qualify for a 100% disability rating based on one or more disabilities, the reality of reaching this goal is quite difficult based on the VA's rating schedule. The reason for this difficulty is the fact that many disabilities do not have ratings criteria that reaches 100%, and for those disabilities that can be rated at 100%, the requirements to qualify are usually extremely narrow and subjective.
The formula used by the VA when combining more than one rating also makes the likelihood of reaching a 100% rating very difficult. For example, a veteran with one disability rated at 70% is considered by the VA as being 30% "non-disabled." Any further disability ratings affects only the remaining 30% portion of the veteran. Therefore a 70% rating combined with a 70% rating is not a 140% rating. It is 70% + 21% (30 X.70) = 90% (91% is rounded down to 90%). As one can see, as a veteran nears a 100% rating it will take higher and higher additional ratings to increase the veterans overall rating even by 1% on the combined scale.
Because a 100% schedular rating is so difficult to reach for most veterans, an alternative mechanism called TDIU is also used by the VA. TDIU helps veterans, who are no longer employable due to their service connected disabilities, to achieve a 100% service connected rating, even though their schedular disability rating is lower than 100%.
Although most disabled veterans have heard of TDIU, there exists many misconceptions about TDIU and how to utilize TDIU effectively. The most common misunderstanding about TDIU is that it is a separate claim. In fact, TDIU can be considered in conjunction with an underlying claim for an increased evaluation. An additional misconception is that TDIU only applies to individuals with particular disabilities or rating levels.
When determining TDIU, the VA can only consider service connected disabilities and their effect on a veteran's ability to obtain and maintain gainful employment. Any disability, no matter how severe, which is not service connected cannot be a basis for TDIU. Besides being determined solely upon service connected disabilities, TDIU traditionally can be considered only if:
- The veteran has one service connected disability rated at 60% or higher; or
- If the veteran has a combined service connected disability rating of 70% and at least one disability rated at 40%.
When considering the single disability rating requirement of 60% or 40% as discussed, the VA will often miss the fact that many types of disabilities can be grouped together and treated as a single disability. For example, disabilities to both arms or both legs can be combined and treated as a single disability for purposes of TDIU. In addition, multiple disabilities that arose out of a single disease or accident can also be combined into a single disability for the purpose of TDIU.
Beyond the "schedular" application of TDIU, which requires ratings of 60% for a single disability and 70% for multiple disabilities (at least one disability rated at 40%), VA regulations also provide for consideration of "extraschedular" TDIU, when there is a single disability that does not meet the minimum rating requirements but the veteran is still unable to maintain gainful employment. For example, a veteran who suffers a single disability of the back may have a rating of 40%. This rating on its own would not reach the rating requirements for schedular TDIU; however, this veteran may still not be able to stand, sit or walk for sufficient amounts of time to allow the veteran to maintain gainful employment. Because the rating criteria does not allow for a higher rating for the back, and the veteran cannot maintain gainful employment, the regulations provide an extraschedular mechanism for the VA to grant TDIU. In this example, the veteran does not meet the minimum rating requirement for traditional TDIU, however, because a veteran cannot maintain gainful employment due to a service connected disability, the VA may grant TDIU if the veteran files for a rating increase and proves he is unemployable.
The bottom line is that veterans have alternative pathways of achieving a 100% disability rating. Many times the VA does not adequately consider these alternatives and it is important that denied claims are appealed and the claim is developed properly with evidence showing how the veteran's disabilities prevent the veteran from obtaining and maintaining gainful employment. If a veteran cannot work due to one or more service connected disabilities, the veteran is entitled to Total Disability/Individual Unemployability (TDIU).
