Although it takes a long time for an Al pastor to cook, he is usually able to complete most of the work in advance. Adding pineapple juice to a trompo of al pastor can add additional moisture and flavor. As a result, even tough cuts, such as the shoulder, can taste tender and juicy when cooked. ![]() The layers within the trompo are still slow-cooking, despite the taquero slicing off the exterior layers. Cooking takes place in two stages: slow-and-fast. It must also have a strong, almost cured flavor.Īt this stage, you’ll need about 1 to 2% salt per unit weight of meat. Meat in a well-made trompo should be coherent and not crumble. Toast the achiote powder, powder cumin, and Mexican oregano to give it the best flavor. Proteins from different muscle groups cross-link to form a bond. The salt in meat alters the structure of the animal’s proteins, causing some parts to float in water.

![]() ![]() Also noticeably absent tonight: Love and Rockets' alien alter egos The Bubblemen, who got stuck on Planet Girl this time around.In addition to guitar, Daniel Ash can also play a mean saxophone, but those talents were not on display tonight.Daniel Ash told us before the tour that they had no plans of continuing past this tour, and this "last blast" is the way to go out with a bang, but this show is a great argument for never say never. The delicate, ethereal "Sweet F.A." closed out the night, but most of us would've stayed for lots more.Īs good as Love and Rockets sounded - and they sounded great - the psychedelic visuals on this tour were equally impressive, from the LED rings that backlit each member, to the simple but effective projections and the overall rich, vivid lighting design. The encores were terrific, with two of Express' best deep cuts - "Holiday on the Moon" and "Love Me" - before knocking us back with the ever-relevant Temptations cover "Ball of Confusion" (Love and Rockets' debut single) that worked in a verse of Edwin Starr's "War" for good measure. Some of the best moments were the vibeiest, like "Haunted When the Minutes Drag," whose echoey production, playful percussion, and fluid bass lines were perfect for a room like Kings. sessions that is also the title of the new rarities comp that was just released as part of their reissues series. They didn't play anything from 1994's Hot Trip to Heaven, but they did play "My Dark Twin," an outtake from the Sweet F.A. The main set, a well-plotted tour of hits and lesser known gems, flew by, and the band's lesser known '90s songs, like Sweet F.A.'s "Judgement Day," fit right in alongside '80s faves. ![]() The night opened with two songs from their 1989 self-titled album, the dreamy "I Feel Speed" and the clanking "No Big Deal," followed by two of their classics, Express' "Kundalini Express" and Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven's "The Dog-End of a Day Gone By." Guitarist/singer Daniel Ash likes to make noise - "Mirror People," "No Big Deal" - but he is especially facile with the acoustic, whether strumming furiously on "Yin and Yang (The Flowerpot Man)," painting watercolor atmospherics on "Sweet F.A.," or delivering psych-pop singalongs ("No New Tale to Tell"). Not all comebacks are built the same, but Love and Rockets are bringing their A-game (unlike others) and are currently in top form, sounding and looking fantastic. Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins may have all played in Bauhaus, but Love and Rockets are a psychedelic band first and foremost with very little black in their palette, and Friday night's show showed all their colors. "Now that we've played our big hit," bassist/singer David J said, "We're going to play a deep cut for us, and hopefully you too." The trio then launched into "Deep Deep Down" from their underrated 1998 album Lift, a hallucinatory trip-hop number that, with the aquamarine lighting, turned the room into a undersea coral reef. It was met with rapturous applause, but this crowd was here for all of it and the band did not disappoint. With its gospel choral backing and T-Rex groove, it sounded amazing in the cavernous former movie palace. Most veteran bands on a reunion tour would save their most well known song for the encore, but Love and Rockets dropped "So Alive," their 1989 single that went to #3 in the US (#1 in Canada), midway through their set at Kings Theatre, the band's first NYC show in 24 years. ![]() As such, Roadblock is the general mould for the “big guys” in G.I. If you hold him and Scarlett in another hand, you will feel the weight difference. The one thing about Roadblock is that he is hefty. Roadblock’S feet seem too small for a guy of his size. We know that Roadblock’s bare muscular chest is hidden underneath but that sculpt has been reused in the first Roadblock variant known as the Cobra Island release and even with the upcoming Gung Ho. Since it’s not removable, it would not be problematic for people who want to remove it nor would it limit the articulations of the chest and the ab-crunch. The vest would look much better on him if it tapered off at the waist. Roadblock’s torso is bare but hidden by the rubber vest which cannot be removed unless cut. If they had been coloured differently, they would look better. The main complaints many have about this action figure are the gold shin guards and the kneepad on his left side.

So of course, it is only normal that Roadblock be one of the earliest G.I. Joe characters seen across different incarnations of the property. Roadblock is as much an archetype as a cliché but that is why he is so popular and has become one of the core G.I. Roadblock really is a combo of three characters rolled in one with his own jibing and rhyming personality, a chef's gastronomy skills, and a very good-natured giant.

![]() ![]() If 19 of those 20 agents are taking calls, available time is just 5%. The upside of a small agent pool is the ease with which you can influence availability. If 14 of the 20 agents are taking calls, the available time is 30% – generally considered quite high.Īs such, it would be extremely difficult to schedule a small pool of agents with enough accuracy to maintain a consistent 15% availability. However, in a small centre of 20 seats, each agent makes a proportionally large contribution. In a large centre of 500 seats, two absent employees make relatively little difference to overall performance. ![]() This is because each agent who is not taking a call represents a larger proportion of the total number of agents. There is no universally accepted ‘correct’ value for available time – it really comes down to the needs of the individual contact centre and the predictability of call volumes.Īvailable time is much harder to manage in centres with fewer seats. What is the Right Amount of Available Time? This has been shown to drastically affect motivation and the ability to perform effectively, ultimately leading to burnout. When occupancy approaches 100%, agents take call after call without stopping. 85% occupancy does not mean that 15% of the workforce never work it means that 15% of the time they are present comprises spaces between calls. If call volume remains steady, the queue will not decrease and KPIs will come under threat.Īvailable time also helps to protect the well-being of agents. As a result, customers have to start queueing. If there is 0% available time, nobody is ready to take the next call that comes in. This overlooks the reasons that available time is actually useful. There is a tendency among some workforce planners to view available time as waste – the fact that 15% of agents are not currently taking calls is seen as inefficient. 85% occupancy translates to 15% availability.Īvailability can be simply represented like this: Total seats (100%) – Occupancy% = Available time Why is Available Time Important?Ī contact centre’s available time is a resource reserved to protect KPIs against unexpected rises in contact volume. Industry advice tends to suggest that an occupancy rate of around 85% is a safe average to aim for. It can help to think of available time as the inverse of occupancy – the percentage of agents currently engaged in a task. It could also be described as “waiting for calls time”. If an agent is logged into the ACD and is not engaged in another task like talking to a customer or in after-call wrap (ACW), they are available. Definition: Also known as idle time, available time is time spent by agents ready and waiting to take calls. ![]() " One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish" The family sits the couch tips over backwards, and Maggie pops up from behind. ![]() ![]() The family sits Homer squeezes the others onto the floor one-by-one and takes the couch for himself.

The temperature and salinity of the water in which an iceberg is located may also vary, meaning that the sea water’s density may not be exactly 1.03 g/L. These icebergs are not a pure substance, and thus their density is no longer 0.92 g/mL. They also may have algae growth in and on their submerged surface. ![]() Icebergs may contain sediments, dust, and other particles picked up by the glacier before calving. Of course, there are some small variations that affect the exact percentage of the iceberg below water. A cork with a density of 0.2 g/mL (20 percent that of water) would float with 20 percent of its volume below the surface, and so on. In contrast, a piece of wood with a density of 0.5 g/mL (half that of water) would float with half of its volume below the surface of the water. ![]() This means that ice has nine-tenths, or 90 percent of water’s density – and so 90 percent of the iceberg is below the water’s surface. Remember that the density of ice is 0.92 g/mL, and the density of water is 1.0 g/mL (1.03 for salt water). Because the densities of ice and sea water are so close in value, the ice floats “low” in the water. In fact, fresh water from melting icebergs will form a layer on top of the denser sea water.ĭensity also explains why most of an iceberg is found beneath the ocean’s surface. That means that ice (like icebergs) also floats in sea water. What about the density of salt water? Because of the dissolved sediments and minerals, sea water is slightly denser than pure water. And because ice’s density is lower than that of water, ice floats in water. This means that the density of ice (0.92 g/mL) is less than that of liquid water (1.0 g/mL). But the amount of matter hasn’t changed – it is just spread out over a larger space. While most other substances contract, water expands as it becomes a solid.īecause water expands as it freezes, ice takes up more space (has a greater volume) than the liquid water does. You’ve observed this if you’ve ever noticed the bump on an ice cube or had a can of soda explode in the freezer. When water freezes, the water molecules spread out to align in a definite crystalline structure. Pure liquid water’s density is 1.0 g/mL, and a standard by which to compare other substances. For example, pure gold always has a density of 19.3 g/mL (grams per milliliter). Density is a defining property of a substance, and it is constant no matter how much of the substance there is. Substances with a high density have tightly packed atoms, while the atoms in a low-density substance are more spread out. Density essentially describes how tightly packed a substance’s atoms are. Density is calculated by dividing an object’s mass (amount of matter) by its volume (the space it occupies), or D=M/V. To understand why ice floats, it is necessary to understand the concept of density. ![]() That’s an amazing statistic to consider given the massive size of some icebergs, but the very fact that ice floats is pretty remarkable. You have probably heard the statistic that approximately 90 percent of an iceberg is found under water. Wind and water erode icebergs into amazing sculptural shapes. Tabular icebergs have steep sides and a flat top like a plateau, while non-tabular icebergs include irregular shapes such as rounded tops, spires, sloping sides, and blocks. Icebergs are also classified by their shape. Photo courtesy of Josh Landis, National Science Foundation. The northern edge of the giant iceberg B-15A, located close to Ross Island, Antarctica. The storm created ocean swells that traveled over 8,000 miles and caused B-15 to crash repeatedly against the coast. Why did this massive berg break apart? Seismic recordings showed that an Arctic storm six days prior to the event was to blame. B-15 subsequently broke into smaller pieces, named B-15A, B-15B, and so on. Iceberg B-15, which calved from the Ross Ice Shelf of Antarctica in 2000, was half a mile thick and covered an area of about 4,500 square miles (about the size of Connecticut). Since the bulk of an iceberg is below the water, the entire berg was estimated to be as tall as a 55-story building! The tallest known iceberg in the North Atlantic was 550 feet (168 m) above sea level. Small bergs (a little smaller than a car) are known as “growlers,” while slightly larger bergs (about the size of a house) are called”bergy bits.” Larger bergs are classified as small, medium, large, and very large. Icebergs float in salt water because they are formed by calving, or splitting, glaciers and are thus made of fresh water. Icebergs are found in the Arctic, North Atlantic, and Southern Oceans. ![]() ![]() All Writing Modes Ballpoint Pen Fountain Pen Rollerball Pen Fineliner Mechanical Pencils All Collectables Montblanc Masters of Art Great Characters Writers Edition Patron of Art NEW - Jimi Hendrix Montblanc Muses Sign & Symbols High Artistry Donation Pen Gift a Writing Instrument Gift Sets How To Personalise your Montblanc Luxury Pen How to Choose the Right Luxury Pen for You How to Choose Between Ballpoint and Rollerball Writing Instrument Craftsmanship How to care for your Writing Instrument Join a Virtual Calligraphy Class Meisterstück Montblanc Heritage Rouge et Noir Baby StarWalker Pix Heritage Montblanc Masters of Art Homage to Vincent van Gogh Great Characters Jimi Hendrix Writers Edition Homage to Brothers Grimm High Artistry the First Ascent of Mont Blanc Patron of Art Homage to Victoria & Albert Great Characters Writers Edition High Artistry Donation Pen Muses All Refills For Rollerball For Ballpoint For Fineliner For Pencil Ink Bottles Ink Cartridges Fountain Pen Accessories All Stationery Notebooks & Diaries Augmented Paper & Notebooks Writing Instruments Pouches Desktop Accessories Refill Finder Notebooks & Diaries Augmented paper & Notebooks View all Bags Backpacks Luggage Briefcases Tote Bags Duffle Bags Cover & Phone Cases Belts Wallets & Card Holders Pen Pouches Key Rings Bag Straps Him Her Gift Bags & Leather Goods Personalised Gifts Gift Sets How to Personalise your Montblanc Leather Product How to Choose the Right Bag for You Leather Craftsmanship Meisterstück Selection Soft Montblanc Sartorial Montblanc Extreme 3. |
