This recipe is even tastier than classic french fries. Here’s how to cook it in a short amount of time.

The French fries They are, of course, a dish that both adults and children will enjoy. However, there is an even tastier way to prepare these special tubers.

The invention of french fries

The French friesLike many other foods, they have distant origins.

However, although an accurate story has spread that a american chefIn reality, for some historians, it would just be an urban legend.

In practice, it is assumed that he worked as a cook in the second half of the 19th century George Crum to invent that French fries when he was on duty in the restaurant Moon Lake Lodge from New York.

In fact, one customer is said to have refused the food a plate of fried potatoes because of the unsatisfactory way of cooking in his opinion.

As, crumbsin spite of himself, he cut the potatoes very finely to make them like this crisp that you can’t eat them with a fork.

However, it seems that the patron in question appreciated them, also thanks to the sauces with which the chef had seasoned them.

However, to be honest, this rather intriguing story couldn’t be more than one hoax.

In fact, the most informed people state that in BelgiumIt was customary to fry some of them as early as the 18th century river fish actually comes from the Meuse.

However, the Meuse is frozen over in winter. Therefore, there was no opportunity to practice fishing.

For this reason the population of Wallonia he arranged, did fry some potatoescut finely so that they look like small fish.

Despite everything, however, there is documentary evidence that could really eclipse any other possible hypothesis.

In fact, Cook’s Oracle book is from William KitchinerCreated in 1822, the recipe includes a recipe that was later adopted in the United States and given the name Potato Chips.

In short, in the end this is perhaps the most credible testimony and one that could give us a clearer idea of ​​the paternity of the French fries.

In the next few lines, however, we would like to offer you another recipe based on this French fries which you will probably like even more than the classic one.

In this capital, a woman died when a large tree fell on the vehicle she was driving in the municipality of Peñalolén.

Meanwhile, in the city of Concepción, capital of the Bío Bío region, a passer-by was beaten under similar circumstances.

Presidential Delegate to the Maule Region, Humberto Aqueveque, reported that of the three people reported missing, two have been found and are out of danger.

It is about a firefighter who fell into a swelling river during a rescue operation and a worker at a water treatment plant.

The third, an older adult, has not yet received any updates on his situation.

In this region, the Ruta 5 Sur was completely paralyzed when a bridge over the Lircay River broke in two due to the force of the current.

A group of workers are using heavy machinery to attempt to close the gap to allow vehicle and truck traffic on this important highway.

A railway structure collapsed in the same tributary on Saturday.

In order to optimize resources and personnel and reduce damage, the central government decided to declare a state of disaster from Valparaíso to Bío Bío.

In this capital, the rains stopped and the level and turbidity of the Mapocho River began to drop, prompting the country’s President Gabriel Boric to announce the suspension of the massive drinking water ban for 34 municipalities.

But the situation remains complex elsewhere, such as in the town of Coltauco in the O’Higgins area, where 80 percent of the community is flooded and hundreds of people are awaiting rescue.

Social Development Minister Giorgio Jackson said families whose homes were destroyed or badly damaged will receive a bail of one and a half million pesos (US$1,875) to help them recover their wealth.

This is the most severe meteorological phenomenon in Chile since 1993 and comes after the country suffered from a prolonged mega drought for almost 15 years.

Agricultural losses, particularly in the fruit sector, caused by rainfall and flooding have not yet been quantified.

Of course, unambiguous and completely wrong. Austria fell to women’s equality! Or: Don’t trust any index that you haven’t tampered with yourself.

One of the terrible simplifiers of our time are sound indexes that are only intended to give us, at a glance, a clear picture of the progress and retrogression of the world and of each country. A reliable purveyor of such illusions is the World Economic Forum in Davos. Every year, Oxfam, for example, presented a study there that, based on the list of billionaires from “Forbes” magazine and on roughly estimated economic data, which are not even available for many countries, wanted to show us exactly how many tenths of degree the global rich-poor gap at the moment widened again.

Another example is the Global Gender Gap Index compiled by the World Economic Forum itself. The 2023 edition that has just appeared has shocked us: Austria has dropped 26 places in this equality index since last year, moving from 21st to 47th place! Are we currently experiencing the reversal of emancipation? No way. It’s just another index full of oddities. For example, that the salary difference, which is not insignificant for the ranking, is determined by an opinion poll among executives.

So what made gender equality in Austria so bad? Of the 14 sub-areas of the index, three are major contributors: first, the number of women on the National Council, which dropped from 76 to 74 during the observation period; second, the mysterious decrease in the time a woman has held the presidency or chancellery in the last 50 years, from 2.18 to 1.16 years. But the drop in the proportion of women on the ministerial bench is what pulls us down the most: because ministers Schramböck and Köstinger were replaced by men in 2022. The statistics are imprecise; it does not include chancellery ministers Raab and Edtstadler (although they hold regular ministerial rank; Figl or Kreisky, for example, were also chancellery ministers as foreign ministers).

And it doesn’t help that, at the same time, our proportion of women among “legislators, senior officials and managers” has increased from 32.80 to 35.45 percent – the index certifies us an equality fiasco. The Greens even think he gives “politics a clear mandate to act”. At least it’s easy: we just have to make it clear to the World Economic Forum that chancellery ministers are also real ministers, and then elect a female federal president – and women are already much better off here. According to the index.

The pressure the Titan ship was subjected to could be equivalent to the pressure exerted by the weight of the Eiffel Tower.

Authorities in the United States this Thursday reported the possible implosion of the Titan, the fivepassenger ship bound for the region where the remains of the ocean liner Titanic lie some 4,000 meters deep in North Atlantic waters. are located.

The US Coast Guard said fragments of the vehicle were found, suggesting the submersible was crushed in a “catastrophic” manner by sea pressure. She expressed her condolences on the death of the crew.

Now specialists are preparing to investigate what happened and what should have been done to prevent the tragedy by examining pieces found in the waters near the historic ship.

According to Ryan Ramsey, a former British Royal Navy submarine captain, authorities will piece together as many fragments as possible to create a complete picture of the sequence of events that led up to the tragedy.

“It’s not going to be any different than a plane crash, but in this case there’s no black box, so you can’t see the ship’s recent movements,” says Ramsey.

“But it is important to bring back as many parts as possible. Experts will be able to analyze the destroyed structure and any fractures that may have occurred, and perhaps summarize what really happened in those final moments.”

The search for the submersible took five days

The five fragments found include “the rear deck of the submarine” and a cone from the front of the submarine.

They were found about 500 meters off the Titanic’s bow.

Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said it was too early to determine the timing of the implosion.

However, hours after finding the fragments, the US Navy said it had detected “an acoustic anomaly related to an implosion” shortly after Titan lost contact with the surface.

The submersible lost all communication with the outside world on Sunday.

On the sub were Stockton Rush, 61, founder of the company that owns the sub, OceanGate Expeditions; Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman, 19; British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58, and French explorer PaulHenri Nargeolet, 77.

All died in the accident.

The implosion theory

Key to the investigation will be the pieces of carbon fiber used to make part of the vehicle.

The big question is whether it suffered a structural failure that led to the rupture of the hull and hence possible implosion.

Each piece is closely examined under the microscope to analyze the direction of the carbon fiber filaments and look for cracks that indicate the exact spot where the break occurred.

Blair Thornton, Professor of Marine Autonomy at the University of Southampton, spoke to the BBC about what may have happened.

“In the event of a catastrophic failure of the main hull, the submersible would have been subjected to an incredibly high pressure equivalent to the weight of the Eiffel Tower, tens of thousands of tons, crushing the ship,” he said.

“We speak in the main part of a very strong implosion.”

Will Kohnen, chair of the Society for Marine Technology’s manned underwater vehicle committee, said the vehicle “could have exploded inward within milliseconds.”

“It was a ‘friendlier’ ending than the incredibly difficult situation of spending four days in the cold, in the dark, in a confined space and without oxygen. So it would have happened very quickly. I don’t think anyone does.” “I should have had time to realize what happened,” he added.

Investigators must also analyze whether the accident was due to a lack of previously required inspections and maintenance.

Engineer Roderick A. Smith, Professor at Imperial College London, said that one of the most important fragments to answer this question was the section of carbon fiber at the point of fracture.

“Carbon fiber fails due to internal design flaws. The connections between carbon fiber and titanium require a very careful examination,” commented the expert.

Due to the severity of the implosion, it can be very difficult to determine the sequence of events. “Therefore, there is a need for full forensic recovery when possible,” he added.

Another potential source of information about what exactly happened to Titan could be hydrophones, underwater microphones used to search for evidence of illegal nuclear weapons.

These tools were used to determine that Argentina’s submarine San Juan imploded after it disappeared off the country’s coast in 2017.

Many questions remain unanswered about what exactly happened to OceanGate’s Titan submersible.

It is possible that the hydrophones picked up the OceanGate submersible explosion and could tell us the exact time of the tragedy.

It is currently unclear which government agency will conduct the investigation as there is no protocol for these types of events involving submersibles.

According to Rear Admiral John Mauger, an investigation could be particularly complex because the incident took place in a remote part of the Atlantic Ocean involving people of many nationalities.

What is a catastrophic implosion?

Text by Eric Fusil, Professor in the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, University of Adelaide, Australia.

Most, if not all, submersibles and submarines operating at depth have a pressure vessel made of a single, high flow resistance metallic material.

It is usually made of steel for relatively shallow depths (less than 300 meters or more) or titanium for greater depths.

A thick steel or titanium pressure vessel is usually spherical in shape and can withstand expected crushing pressures down to 12,000 feet (about 4,000 meters), the depth at which the wreck of the Titanic lies.

The Titan, however, was different.

Its pressure vessel was made from a combination of titanium and carbon fiber composite. This is somewhat unusual from an engineering point of view, as titanium and carbon fiber are materials with very different properties in a deep diving context.

Titanium is elastic and can accommodate a wide range of stresses without leaving a measurable permanent stress after returning to atmospheric pressure.

It contracts to absorb compressive forces and expands again when those forces are released. A carbon fiber composite, on the other hand, is much stiffer and doesn’t have the same elasticity.

We can only speculate what happened to the combination of these two technologies, which dynamically don’t behave the same under pressure.

However, what we can almost say with certainty is that some kind of loss of integrity would have occurred due to the differences between these materials.

A material can “delaminate” which results in the separation of the reinforcing layers.

This would have caused a fault that would have triggered an immediate implosion due to underwater pressure.

In less than a second, the ship, being pushed down by the weight of a 12,000foot column of water, would have instantly imploded in all directions.
