That run, which became quite meme-worthy due to the reactions of the vehicle’s passenger, was completed in 8 minutes 10 seconds. Back then, the vehicle, which was partially modified, was driven around the Nürburgring by YouTube auto reviewer Misha Charoudin. Quite interestingly, the Model 3 Performance that ran a 7:44 in the Nürburgring was the same vehicle that made the rounds in the EV community back in September. This was made possible by rather simple upgrades to the vehicle, such as better suspension and brakes. During a run around the Nürburgring with traffic and on wet pavement, the Tesla Model 3 Performance was able to complete a lap (bridge-to-gantry) around the Nürburgring in 7:44. What is rather remarkable is that a Tesla Model 3 Performance, a vehicle that quite literally costs a fraction of the Taycan Turbo, seems to be on track to close in on the Taycan Turbo’s lap. ![]() It was then cause for celebration when Porsche, with its decades of racing experience, finally proved that even production EVs could run an impressive lap around the Nürburgring. The Nürburgring is dubbed the “Green Hell” for a reason, and one of these is that it is a track that has the potential to take its toll on both drivers and cars alike. ![]() ![]() The Porsche Taycan Turbo’s 7:42 lap around the Nürburgring was widely celebrated because very few production electric cars are capable of performing at optimum around the unforgiving nearly-13-mile track. The feat was celebrated by the EV community, and even Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who poked fun at the vehicle’s “Turbo” moniker, stated that the Taycan “does seem like a good car.” Musk added that the Taycan Turbo’s “Nürburgring track time is great.” Back in August 2019, Porsche made headlines when it revealed that its all-electric Taycan Turbo had been able to complete a lap around the Nürburgring in 7 minutes 42 seconds, well below the company’s target time of sub-8 minutes.

In it, her husband asks her what the heck she’s doing as she’s wrapped in plastic wrap and slathering peanut butter on the wrap on her forehead. Shelton posted her video on TikTok and it’s already acquired 3 million likes and countless other shares. All it takes is a head wrapped in plastic and some peanut Need help clipping your dogs nails? I gotchu. She is also a viral TikTok star, as she cleverly showed us all how to cut our dog’s nails without them having any issues. Lindsay Shelton is a traveling nurse who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Would You Try This Peanut Butter Plastic Head Wrap To Clip Your Dog’ĭesperate times call for desperate measures, and one innovative dog mama decided she’d make nail clipping a delightful experience for her dog, even if it meant she wrapped her head in plastic and peanut butter! From scissor-style clippers to pliers and guillotines, you can’t go wrong with choosing any from our list. To help you find the best cat nail clippers for your kitty, we hand-picked 10 different nail clippers for cats. What the best type of nail clipper for your cat will depend on the size of your cat and your experience level. Nail clippers for cats are available in many different styles, but not all of them work in the same way. If your kitty isn’t sharpening their nails, the nails can also become too long and get embedded in the paw pads, which can cause an infection and be extremely painful for your cat.If taking your kitty to the veterinarian or groomer for regular manis and pedis isn’t an option, you can trim their nails at home using cat nail clippers. Trimming your cat’s nails regularly can prevent the claws from getting stuck in the carpets or furniture and stop your cat from scratching people. Most cats don’t like having their claws clipped, but you need to keep your kitty’s nails at a comfortable length. In any case, it’s important to make sure that your pet is calm and still (preferably lying or sitting) and that you don’t cut too far back as you could hit the quick and cause bleeding: take off just a few millimeters and repeat rather than cutting off a chunk in one go. The same is true for the scissors type dog nail clippers as they function very similarly, the main difference being that they are more suited to small breed dogs. ![]() In the case you are using pliers type dog nail clippers, you place the open blades at a right angle with the nail between them and squeeze. ![]() For the guillotine clippers, you need to place the nail between the stationary ring and the cutting blade and squeeze the handles to move up the blade and cut the nail. There are a few types of nail clippers out there, but the most popular by far are guillotine and scissors or pliers type of clippers. A versatile design that’s easy to use, this nail clipper will suit the needs of most dogs without any issue.ĭog nail clipping can be a challenging task if you’ve never done it before, but it doesn’t take long to get the hang of it. The hardened steel blade in guillotine-style will give a precise and quick cut so everything goes fast and smooth- these clippers are literally designed to make your life easier. Additionally, to ensure good visibility, the blade cap doubles as a magnification lens: it will magnify the nail 5 times, giving you a clear vision of where the quick is and how much to trim. The light is pointed at an angle that will illuminate the nail directly and make it so much easier for you to hit the mark. Luckily, this clever design is there to make matters clearer thanks to its built-in, super bright LED light. Avoiding the quick and making sure your pet’s nails are perfectly trimmed is all that more difficult if your dog’s nails are dark or if they are small- let alone both. One of the most difficult things about cutting your pet’s nails- and there are quite a few difficult things about it- is visibility. ![]() Joy over at Five J’s (if you’re a homeschool and aren’t subscribed here then you’re missing out!) has an awesome list of her top 10 online FREE Math Resources! :: Math Printables :: Super Teacher Worksheets ![]() Purple Math offers numerous tutorials & lessons to learn Algebra.

The line “ J’ai seul la clef de cette parade sauvage” (“I alone hold the key to this savage parade”) stands as a recurrent motif: the soloist declaims it first in the opening fanfare movement (boldly), and reprises it during the interlude between “ Marine” and “ Being Beauteous” (sounding rather bewildered) and again at the end of the penultimate song, “ Parade” (at last infusing it with triumphant confidence). THE MUSIC Given the obscurity of some of the poems, Britten was probably wise to approach the text-setting as an exercise in finding musical equivalents to specific words or phrases. While in America he continued with his Rimbaud settings, eventually crafting a nine-movement cycle. Britten embarked on voice-and-orchestra settings of two of Rimbaud’s poems, “ Being Beauteous” (with a text in French, despite Rimbaud’s deceptive English title) and “ Marine.” Britten did not hear Sophie Wyss premiere them, in 1939 in London, as he was then living at a freewheeling artists commune in New York City. These were cryptic poems, admittedly perplexing in their odd combinations of thoughts. The composer has taken seven of these poems, six in prose and one in verse, and has made them into a cycle. The word ‘Illuminations’ suggests both the vision of a mystic and a brightly coloured picture …. short life as a poet was an erratic and turbulent one, generally near starvation and often homeless, sometimes with his friend Verlaine, sometimes alone, and much of it was set in the most sordid surroundings, in Paris, Brussels, and London but throughout it, the boy’s inspiration remained radiant and intense. Britten had recently been struggling with the challenges of setting English texts in the cycle On this Island (to texts by Auden), and he was a ready candidate to try text-settings in foreign languages-at first French, then Italian (in his Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo)- before returning to his native language to perfect his distinctive style. Auden suggested that he take a look at the phantasmagorical poetry of Arthur Rimbaud (1854–91), Verlaine’s one-time lover (though their affair had ended badly, in an attempted murder for which Verlaine spent two years in jail). In fact, Les Illuminations was not Britten’s first foray into French just after graduating from high school, he had composed an orchestral song cycle on French texts by Victor Hugo and Paul Verlaine (the Quatre chansons françaises, 1928). Not many English composers had previously shown an interest in setting languages other than their own (Delius being a rare exception), and Britten took some fire from British critics who felt that setting French texts was at least suspicious and perhaps even unpatriotic. The earliest of these was the Swiss soprano Sophie Wyss, who premiered such entries in the Britten catalogue as Our Hunting Fathers (1936) and On This Island (1937), and was also the inspiration for his arrangements of French folksongs (1942) and for the orchestral song cycle on this program, Les Illuminations (1939). Among these, the tenor Peter Pears was Britten’s chief partner (both artistic and spousal), but other singer-collaborators were also important. ![]() Britten often wrote vocal works with specific singers in mind over the years, an identifiable “Britten circle” of singers dependably premiered and championed his works. THE BACKSTORY Though Benjamin Britten was an instrumentalist, having been trained as a string player and excelling especially as a pianist, singers flocked around him throughout his career.

It is in the Pacific Ocean about 1600 km from the eastern coast of Australia. It is approximately 35 km offshore, 40 km from the nearest city and river estuary, and 8 km from an aboriginal settlement on Great Palm Island. įalcon Island (Australia) is a small, uninhabited, rocky island, bounded by a fringing reef, at the south of the Palm Islands, formed under the joint action of submarine volcanic eruptions and waves. By 1981 the diameter of Anak Krakatau was reported to be about 2,000 m, with the highest elevation at about 200 m above sea level. Changes in height were accompanied by enlargement of the island’s area. ![]() This new island, with an elevation of 9 m in 1930, grew relatively quickly in the first decade of its existence, to 67 m in 1933, and 132 m by 1941 and subsequently to 170 m by 1966. Eventually the growth speed of the volcano exceeded the wave-cut erosion and emerged in 1930, piled up from an ocean floor of over 100 m depth, forming islands of cinder and lava covering more than 2 km 2 in area. It was formed both by volcanic activity and wave-cut erosion. Indonesia is the biggest archipelagic state in the world and also a “volcano country”, most of the islands there have been constructed by volcanoes, for example, Anak Krakatau is called Krakatoa’s son. This situation also happens in Iceland and Reunion.
