On my cool-down “street test” lap, there was no difference in ride quality and this is a car whose bits all work together in harmony with many shades of grey for driving possibilities.” From corner entry to track out, the car went where it was pointed and enabled me to focus on the upcoming turns and proper driving lines to get there. It was trustable and gave a confident “hero” feel, and I finally was able to realize just how developed this suspension is with that awesome torque arm handling the load. Never form a prior opinion, they say, so I put that thought aside and promptly forgot about it.Īs far as that tire size difference I talked about earlier… well, no one apparently told the car this was a bad thing as it stuck like a tick!

How to make mini tarts in a muffin pan For these lemon curd tartlets, I shrunk them down and made them mini-sized because everything is cuter when they're mini.

So, what is macerating? Basically, there are two types of macerating but today we’re focusing on the technique where you sprinkle fruit with sugar (this draws out the liquid and creates a syrup) and acid, I’m using lemon juice for these macerated strawberries with yogurt. Macerating is one of those cooking techniques that sounds complicated, but is really incredibly simple. Today, I’ve got a recipe for the ultimate yogurt topping: macerated strawberries. ![]() Once you’ve got the presentation down, the next way to elevate your food is through what I like to call “simple-but-special” techniques.

No matter if it’s something you’ve had a hundred times (like a healthy green smoothie) or something for special occasions like a decadent baked French toast or triple chocolate chip pancakes. While these are foods I eat on a regular basis, I’m a firm believer that eating should be an enjoyable experience and that you should always feel excited to sit down to a good meal. Carrots and hummus are my go-to snack for lunches and yogurt is what I have for breakfast 99% of the time. There are a few foods that I eat pretty much every single day – carrots, hummus and yogurt.

![]() ![]() Although mordents are now thought of as a single alternation between notes, in the Baroque period a mordant may have sometimes been executed with more than one alternation between the indicated note and the note below, making it a sort of inverted trill. In the 19th century, however, the name mordent was generally applied to what is now called the upper mordent. In the Baroque period, a mordant (the German or Scottish equivalent of mordent) was what later came to be called an inverted mordent and what is now often called a lower mordent. Problems playing this file? See media help. Trilling on a single note is particularly idiomatic for the bowed strings. There is also a single tone trill variously called trillo or tremolo in late Renaissance and early Baroque. Such variations are often marked with a few grace notes following the note that bears the trill indication. Sometimes it is expected that the trill will end with a turn (by sounding the note below rather than the note above the principal note, immediately before the last sounding of the principal note), or some other variation. However, " Koch expressed no preference and observed that it was scarcely a matter of much importance whether the trill began one way or the other, since there was no audible difference after the initial note had been sounded." Clive Brown writes that "Despite three different ways of showing the trills, it seems likely that a trill beginning with the upper note and ending with a turn was envisaged in each case." In the late 18th century, when performers played a trill, it always started from the upper note. In Baroque music, the trill is sometimes indicated with a + (plus) sign above or below the note. Types Trill Īudio playback is not supported in your browser. In Spain, melodies ornamented upon repetition (" divisions") were called " diferencias", and can be traced back to 1538, when Luis de Narváez published the first collection of such music for the vihuela. Alternatively, the term may refer more generally to any of the small notes used to mark some other ornament (see § Appoggiatura below), or in association with some other ornament's indication (see § Trill below), regardless of the timing used in the execution. A grace note is a note written in smaller type, with or without a slash through it, to indicate that its note value does not count as part of the total time value of the bar. Frequently, a composer will have his or her own vocabulary of ornaments, which will be explained in a preface, much like a code. ![]() ![]() A number of standard ornaments (described below) are indicated with standard symbols in music notation, while other ornamentations may be appended to the score in small notes, or simply written out normally as fully sized notes. ![]() Ornamentation may also be indicated by the composer. Similarly, a harpsichord player performing a simple melodic line was expected to be able to improvise harmonically and stylistically appropriate trills, mordents (upper or lower) and appoggiaturas. A singer performing a da capo aria, for instance, would sing the melody relatively unornamented the first time and decorate it with additional flourishes and trills the second time. In the Baroque period, it was common for performers to improvise ornamentation on a given melodic line.

Japan's Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) is one of the front runners to mass produce solid-state batteries. They are expensive to fabricate and are prone to cracking because of the brittleness of the electrolytes when they expand and contract during use.Ĭurrently, a solid-state cell costs about eight times more to make than a liquid li-ion battery, experts say. It is hard to design a solid electrolyte that is stable, chemically inert and still a good conductor of ions between the electrodes. WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO MASS PRODUCE SOLID STATE BATTERIES?Ĭarmakers and technology companies have produced solid-state li-ion battery cells one at a time in a lab, but have been unable so far to scale that up to a mass production. They can hold more energy than liquid li-ion batteries, helping speed up a switch from gasoline vehicles to EVs because drivers would not need to stop as often to charge their cars. Increased stability means faster charging and reduces the need for bulky safety equipment. This makes electric vehicles that use li-ion batteries more vulnerable to fires and chemical leaks. They are likely to be safer and more stable than liquid li-ion batteries in which the electrolyte is volatile and flammable at high temperatures. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SOLID STATE BATTERIES?
