![]() ![]() This festival, 中元节 Zhōng Yuán Jié, is in fact just one day in a whole month where the gates of Hell are open and the dead walk among us… Man dressed as a Chinese zombie, one of the ghosts thought to roam the earth at this time of year. Similar to the previous solar term, people would also make offerings to the gods to give thanks for or pray for a good harvest. At this time old Beijingers would eat duck (there’s even a dish called 处暑百合鸭 Chùshǔ bǎihé yā) as it was believed that ducks were at their fattest and most nutritious at the end of the summer. The fourteenth solar term, the Limit of Heat, 处暑(Chùshǔ) means the hot season is coming to an end. Beijing Roast Duck Solar Term: Limit of Heat (August 23rd) The earliest recorded version of this legend is from the Book of Songs, a collection of poetry from the 11th to 7th centuries BC. Seeing that their love was sincere, however, she permitted them to meet once a year on the Qixi Festival. When Niuliang chased after her, the Queen Mother blocked him using the Milky Way. When the King found out he was furious, and forced Zhinü to return to heaven. ![]() The basic story is that Niulang, a poor cowheard, fell in love with Zhinü, a skilled weaver, who also happened to be the daughter of the King of Heaven. Qixi has its origins in a legend, of which there are many variations. Although it’s not an official holiday, it is becoming more and more popular, and young people celebrate today in similar ways to Valentine’s Day – giving gifts and spending time with loved ones. Move over February 14th – China has a much older Valentine’s Day, celebrated this year on August 4th! This festival is called Qixi (七夕 Qīxì), which means ‘double seven’ because it falls on the seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. Folk customs at this time include giving thanks for the harvest, eating watermelon to cool the body, and checking to see if you lost weight over the summer – if you did, time to start putting it back on in preparation for the winter! Magpies are a symbol of Qixi as in the legend, magpies formed a bridge for the two lovers to meet at Qixi Qixi Festival (August 22nd) The Beginning of Autumn (立秋 Lìqiū) isn’t really the beginning of autumn, and the weather remains extremely hot, but at this time the ‘yang’ energy of summer starts to change almost imperceptibly into the ‘yin’ energy of autumn and winter. Solar Term: Beginning of Autumn (August 8th) There’s both love and ghosts in the air this month with two major traditional festivals and two solar terms on the Chinese calendar!

Reciprocating piston type steam engines were the dominant source of power until the early 20th century. Steam engines replaced sails for ships on paddle steamers, and steam locomotives operated on the railways. By the 19th century, stationary steam engines powered the factories of the Industrial Revolution. James Watt made a critical improvement in 1764, by removing spent steam to a separate vessel for condensation, greatly improving the amount of work obtained per unit of fuel consumed. The first commercially successful engine that could transmit continuous power to a machine was developed in 1712 by Thomas Newcomen. Thomas Savery is considered the inventor of the first commercially used steam powered device, a steam pump that used steam pressure operating directly on the water. In 1606 Jerónimo de Ayanz y Beaumont patented his invention of the first steam-powered water pump for draining mines. In general usage, the term steam engine can refer to either complete steam plants (including boilers etc.), such as railway steam locomotives and portable engines, or may refer to the piston or turbine machinery alone, as in the beam engine and stationary steam engine.Īlthough steam-driven devices were known as early as the aeolipile, Ball of Aeolus, in the first century AD, with a few other uses recorded in the 16th century. The ideal thermodynamic cycle used to analyze this process is called the Rankine cycle. Steam engines are external combustion engines, where the working fluid is separated from the combustion products. ![]() The term "steam engine" is generally applied only to reciprocating engines as just described, not to the steam turbine. This pushing force can be transformed, by a connecting rod and crank, into rotational force for work. The steam engine uses the force produced by steam pressure to push a piston back and forth inside a cylinder. A steam ploughing engine by KemnaĪ steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. ![]() This class of engine was built in 1942–1950 and operated until 1988. ![]() A model of a beam engine featuring James Watt's parallel linkage for double action A mill engine from Stott Park Bobbin Mill, Cumbria, England A steam locomotive from East Germany. ![]() As you recall, man was created as the pinnacle of God’s creation on day 6. At times, the Bible highlights numbers that point to a message and I believe this is true of the number 666. For example, the number 7 has a special meaning in the Bible that speaks to the perfection of God (in the 7 days of creation or “the seven-fold Spirit of God” in Revelation). The Bible has special meanings behind numbers-and no, it’s not a “code” but a unique symbolism that I think will help us answer our question. ![]() One further line of thought is needed before we come to a conclusion on the meaning of the number 666. ![]() The key link between the number 666 and the mark of the beast is found in verse 17 where John equates “the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” So, whatever the number 666 means it is equal to the mark and name of the Antichrist. Just prior to verse 18 John says there is a mark that the Antichrist will demand everyone to receive and the false prophet will carry out the will of the Antichrist by setting up an image of the beast throughout regions of the world that will issue this mark in order to buy and sell. In order to answer our question today, we need to understand the context of the false prophet’s role in the evil regime of the Antichrist. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.” With that said, there is a direct statement about the number 666 by the apostle John in Revelation 13:18, “Here is wisdom. This means that careful interpretation of the book of Revelation should be followed in gleaning the meaning and application for today. The apostle John speaks in metaphor about what he sees and hears in this vision from God. Let’s start with the difficulty of the apocalyptic nature of the book of Revelation. Is this an evil or unlucky number? Is 666 the devil’s number? In order to answer our question, we will have to take a look at the book of Revelation. It is about the meaning of the number 666. Today’s question has been asked by every generation. Under NCD 20.7, the TCAR Surveillance Project does not require the study sites to get approval from the Medicare Administrative Contractors.

If you're referencing the US gallon and US fluid ounce, 32 ounces equal one quart and equate to 1/4 of a gallon. This means that half a gallon measures 64 US fluid ounces. A gallon of liquid contains 128 US fluid ounces. This means that 64 US fluid ounces measures the same as 1/2 a US gallon. How many gallons does 64 ounces equal?Ī gallon of liquid in the United States equates to 128 US fluid ounces. ![]() This is because the US and UK use different measurements for gallons and fluid ounces.Īs a side-note, if you're looking to convert gallons of water into pounds or ounces of weight, give our water weight calculator a try. In the UK, a gallon of water measures 160 fluid ounces. In the US, a gallon of water measures 128 fluid ounces. How many ounces are in a gallon of water? Weight of a gallon of water, by the way, you can find out how much a gallon of water weighs here. You could be drinking 3/4 of a litre more water if you use the UK imperial gallon conversion. cups to ounces to grams charts for common ingredients, which itill help when making a recipe without weighting its ingredients. This converter can help you to get answers to questions like: How many ounces are in 2. Using the conversion formula above, you will get: Value in cup 2.67 × 0.125 0.33375 cup. You should probably bear the size differences in mind if you're considering changing your daily water intake, because there's a big difference between the two. Suppose you want to convert 2.67 ounce into cups. When it comes to conversions between the two, here's the info you need: It's enough to cause your head to explode. ![]() So, the US has a smaller gallon than the UK, but a slightly larger fluid ounce. The base trim had 148 BHP 4,000 rpm and 320 Nm 1500-3000 rpm. By comparison, the UK (imperial) fluid ounce When converting gallons to ounces (fluid ounces), you should also bear in mind that the US fluid ounce is larger than the UK imperial fluid ounce. So, 0.67 cup times 8 is equal to 5.36 ounces. The US liquid gallon is smaller than the UK imperial gallon (3.785 liters compared to 4.546 litres). 0.67 cup equals 5.36 ounces To convert any value in cups to ounces, just multiply the value in cups by the conversion factor 8. Type in the number of fluid ounces that you want to calculate into cups ( oz to cup conversion ). If you're in the UK, you'll find a gallon measures 160 UK fluid ounces. The default values show the conversion of one oz to 0.125 cups. 0.79 Light Years to Astronomical Units astronomy. So for 67 we have: (67 × 8) ÷ 1 536 ÷ 1 536 Ounces. 0.67 ounce equals 0.08375 cup To convert any value in ounces to cups, just multiply the value in ounces by the conversion factor 0.125. There are 128 US fluid ounces in a US gallon. If we want to calculate how many Ounces are 67 Cups we have to multiply 67 by 8 and divide the product by 1. ![]() ![]() If you're traveling on weekdays, the card gets charged based on how long the ride was so don't forget to tap out or it will charge you extra! To enter the metro, you must tap your SmarTrip card and then tap in again on the way out. Riding the DC Metro is different than riding the subway in some other cities.

Both lines visit L'Enfant Plaza but Yellow continues south into Virginia to the Pentagon, National Airport, and King Street for Old Town Alexandria. The yellow line shares a track with Green for most of downtown. Take the Green line to get to Navy-Yard/Nats Park Baseball Stadium. You will only need to pay attention to which train you're on if you're leaving the central area of the city. The orange/silver/blue lines follow the same tracks inside downtown. Orange: runs east-west through the city.You can take this line all the way to Dulles Airport. Silver: runs west-east through the city.The main stations are Capitol South, Smithsonian, McPherson Square (White House), Arlington National Cemetery, and National Airport. Blue: runs west-east through the city and then south.The main stations are Union Station, Metro Center, Chinatown, and Dupont Circle.

If you're moving to DC or going to be spending a while in DC, there are 7-day pass and monthly commuter pass options. Keep in mind that all Metrorail trips are a flat $2 fare on Saturdays and Sundays, so if you are mostly using Metro on a weekend, a pass is usually not the best deal - you are better off paying as you go. Passes will only work on Metrorail and Metrobus travel - passes are not accepted on regional buses, including the popular DC Circulator.įor most people, a 1 or 3-day pass really only makes sense if you plan on making more than 2 longer distance round trips per day. The farther out your hotel or accommodations are, the better off this deal will be. While this may seem like a great deal, you'll want to do the math on how much you'll be traveling. There are no travel restrictions, which means that you could use this pass anytime and without any additional charges. If you don't want to worry about loading your card throughout the day, you can purchase a 1-day pass for $13/person or a 3-day pass for $28/person. Note: You can only use the same debit/card three times in one day before the machines will stop taking it!
