Armistice of Treviso

by

Wikipedia says:

Brune was able to cross the Adige river unopposed as Bellegarde pulled back, keen to join Josef Philipp Vukassovich and Johann Ludwig Alexius von Loudon whose 20,000 troops were moving down the Brenta river to the plain of Bassano.[1] Bellegarde held his forces at Caldiero, intending to provide time for Laudon and Vukassovich to assemble, but was driven from that position by Brune.[2]

Wikipedida also has an article about Vladimir Putin today, saying Семья Путиных занимала одну комнату в коммунальной квартире без всяких удобств в Басковом переулке The article gives background about Putin’s life.

Having Kids (Paul Graham)

by

Before I had kids, I was afraid of having kids. Up to that point I felt about kids the way the young Augustine felt about living virtuously. I’d have been sad to think I’d never have children. But did I want them now? No.

If I had kids, I’d become a parent, and parents, as I’d known since I was a kid, were uncool. They were dull and responsible and had no fun. And while it’s not surprising that kids would believe that, to be honest I hadn’t seen much as an adult to change my mind. Whenever I’d noticed parents with kids, the kids seemed to be terrors, and the parents pathetic harried creatures, even when they prevailed.

When people had babies, I congratulated them enthusiastically, because that seemed to be what one did. But I didn’t feel it at all. “Better you than me,” I was thinking.

Citing a PDF: Nitrogen Calibration Chart

by

PDF: https://www.paulbparts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/nitrogenCalibrationChart.pdf

 

100 units of nitrogen are divided by 3.3 = 30.3 gallons per acre.

 

The text that I copied off the PDF is:

Calibration for Dripping Nitrogen with D-Orifice Discs
Information Needed: Formula to Calibrate Nozzle Size:
– gallon per acre
– speed of travel G.P.M. = G.P.A. x M.P.H. x W
– nozzle spacing (inches) 5940
Key:
P.S.I. = pounds per square inch
G.P.M. = gallons per minute
M.P.H. = miles per hour
G.P.A. = gallons per acre
W = nozzle spacing
Note: 3.3 UNITS OF NITROGEN PER GALLON
Example of Calibration:
100 units of nitrogen are divided by 3.3 = 30.3 gallons per acre. 30.3 gallons per
acre x speed of 4 mph = 121.2. Now multiply 121.2 x 30″ nozzle spacing. = 3636.
Next divide 3636 by 5940 = .61 gallons per minute flow per nozzle. Now by
checking D-Orifice chart, you will see D-5 Orifice with liquid nitrogen flows .62
gallons at 30 lb pressure.
Note: WHEN USING BALL CHECK STRAINERS, ADD 5 LB PRESSURE.
