In large country houses, it was the fad in the 18th century to have auricula theatres to display these flowers at their best. I had seen these displays of Auriculas before here in the UK but I didn’t know they were called theatres!Īuricula Theatre illustration by John Farleigh. (This information came from The Small Gardner Blog where I found a brilliant article about how to make an Auricula theatre. So, auricula growers keep their plants under glass over winter, and only display them when they begin flowering in spring, in an auricula theatre. What’s more, they need to be shaded in hot, summer weather, as strong sun will scorch them. Rain will ruin the perfection of the flowers, washing away the farina. For the flowers to be at their best, it’s important that the plants are kept in a sheltered spot, away from wet and windy weather. Reading about these fascinating flowers I’ve learnt that they require very particular care and growing conditions. Striped auriculas have been re-introduced and more new doubles are exhibited each year, their current magnificence owes much to the dedicated breeders in the United Kingdom (this information was found on The National Auricula and Primula Society (Kent Group) website)Īugusta Innes Withers (1793-1864) An Auricula in a Pot A large number of new varieties of both edged and self-coloured auriculas have been raised by the modern successors to the old florists. Between the wars, the auricula was kept in being by the auricula societies, and then after the second world war a recovery began that continues to this day. Then a further blow was struck with the advent of the First World War when many of the named varieties vanished. The auricula, however, retained a loyal following especially in the north of England, although Stripes vanished and Doubles became rare. Towards the end of the 19th century, a movement developed against what were termed “artificial flowers” and florists flowers lost popularity, some disappearing completely. Prizes at their shows were frequently copper kettles & the public houses would often hang a copper kettle outside on show days. They met in public houses to show off their tulips, auriculas, primulas and carnations and to weigh their giant gooseberries. The florists formed groups with like-minded people to meet and hold ‘feasts’.īy the 19th century the florists groups were very popular with working-class people in the industrial North and Midlands of England. The modern meaning of florist only came into being towards the end of the 19th century. ![]() ![]() The term ˜Florist” was originally applied in the 1600s to a person who grew plants for the sake of their decorative flowers rather than for any useful property the plant might have. ![]() The auricula was one of the great Florist’s flowers, some of the others being anemone, ranunculi, tulips and carnations. Whichever it was, the auricula became a major craze and was grown by the rich and famous, as well as humbler folk, in great numbers and varieties during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries becoming also popular with artists.Ĭoloured engraved plate depicting Auriculas from the 1820 publication ‘The Beauties of Flora’ by Samuel Curtis (1779-1860). The second school of thought which seems more plausible is that they arrived, as did most other flowers, by the interchange between leading Continental and English plantsmen. However, at that time, these plants were still novelties and were grown only by the rich. One is that they were introduced by Huguenot Flemish weavers fleeing religious persecution in the 1570s. There are two schools of thought as to how auriculas reached England. ![]() Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770), A Blue auricula and ButterflyĪuriculas first appeared in European and English gardens around the mid-sixteenth century. I have always found these flowers mesmerising: their symmetry, colours, shape…they almost look too perfect to be natural! Like many of the things that catch my eye, I decided to delve into these fascinating flowers. This time was with flowers, more specifically with Auriculas.

If you’re worried about whether a dining pool table would be enough to accommodate yourself, friends, and family in the future without needing extra space, that won’t pose much of a problem. For families, a dining pool table would help to encourage your loved ones to join in on the fun, allowing for bonding sessions after dinner or during weekends when you just want to wind down and have some fun. The pool table’s 2-in-1 build ensures it is regularly in use rather than being left aside in a corner (especially with lockdowns and social distancing). We understand that dining pool tables do have a substantial price tag on them, which is why it’s important to make sure the purchase is worthwhile for such a valuable investment. Moreover, you won’t have to worry if you’re truly using it to its fullest. Instead of settling for just any dining pool table, why not just make one that is the right fit for you and your home rather than the other way around? Perhaps you’re not keen on some of the standard designs on the market but fret not! Brands like Billiards Montfort offer a range of customisable options for you to create your own bespoke dining pool table. It’s essentially the table’s own secret storage compartment. In addition, the additional ‘table’ surface also acts as an extra layer of protection that helps to hide and protect your more delicate pool table accessories from potential pets or a child’s wandering hands. When the pool table aspect is covered and not in use, dining pool tables look just like any other table, providing you an elegant and classy dining table while still being a fully functional pool table underneath it all. This design feature pairs magnificently with the dining table side as it creates a beautiful centrepiece for you to serve any guests or family you might have over. Most dining pool tables are completed with a wood or metallic finish so that they are functional and easy to maintain. ![]() If you’re someone that’s more conscious about picking out furniture that fits your home, you won’t have to compromise and settle on having either aesthetic or functionality when purchasing a dining pool table. With a range of gaming options, dining pool tables can help you keep them all in one space (or table) while not compromising build quality or gameplay. Practical Functionality: What More Can You Ask For?ĭining pool tables facilitate themselves as being both a dining table and a pool table, but do you know that they can also come with other play options as well? In fact, some dining pool table tops are repurposed and advertised as being multi-functional for other types of games such as ping pong and air hockey. With it, you won’t need to think about designing and creating a dedicated gaming room just to accommodate all your cool games and gadgets: you can just make them your living room’s centrepiece! This is where owning your own dining pool table so appealing. However, we cannot deny the fact that apartment spaces and CBD flats make having a dedicated playroom quite difficult. Yes, having your own personalised game room will always be the dream. The dual-purpose table allows you to efficiently utilise the largest space in your home and this is especially true for the modern home where space conservation is necessary. It provides you with an outlet for play while also making sure that you also have a practical space to use during work and meal times. I believe that a dining pool table can help you make the transition from a house into a home. Having something valuable that creates joy in your home life is the first step into making your house into a home. So what does this have to do with dining pool tables? I’ve seen many people, both friends and family, who live with having the bare minimum in their houses simply because they feel they don’t actually stay there much during the day and would rather be outside. I’m certain there are plenty of us that treat our houses-especially apartments-as just a place to eat and sleep before going about with the rest of our days. While the concept is easy to understand, I would argue that many young, modern Singaporeans-and young people in other Asian and Western countries too-are facing the problem of living in a ‘house’ rather than a ‘home’. This is a saying that many of us know, regardless of where we’re from or what generation we hail from. ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() “By knowing and using specialized lingo, you (in theory, at least!) show the people around you that you're sophisticated and in-touch with the latest business trends.”Īs we look at the chart above, we can see that English terms get adopted as buzzwords, which implies that English itself is closely linked across the world with business savvy. “People typically use jargon in the workplace to project an identity of business-related authority,” Hope explains. Hope Wilson, a Senior Learning and Curriculum Manager at Duolingo and an expert on linguistics and intercultural communication. You might notice that a lot of these terms are English words, even though many of these countries have an official language other than English! How does that happen? □ *Note: The Japanese characters seen here make the sound of the English word. So we thought it might be time to look at the terms that are most often causing miscommunication. In fact, 60% of workers say they have to figure out jargon all on their own, and that the process causes stress and slows down productivity. If they could, nearly half of the people polled would eliminate jargon altogether! And though we at Duolingo know that shared language can build inclusivity amongst communities, there isn’t always a roadmap for learning corporate-speak. We polled workers in India, Vietnam, Colombia, Brazil, the U.K., Japan, Australia, and the U.S., and those surveyed in India were most likely to say their coworkers are using too much jargon at work. In a survey of more than 8,000 working professionals across 8 countries, we found that 58% of people surveyed feel their coworkers overuse jargon. Jargon makes people feel "out of the loop" The modern workplace has a language all its own, and we teamed up with LinkedIn to see how all this jargon helps-or hurts-communication between colleagues. If you recognized-and understood-all of these terms… congratulations! Sounds like you’re proficient in workplace jargon.

If there is disk space, it's usually capped at 10 to 15 GB. Saving and loading the cache is therefore slow because the network transfer speed is slow.īy default, all CI runners are ephemeral unless you run your own. In a CI environment with ephemeral runners, such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, build cache isn't persisted across builds without saving/loading it over the network to somewhere off of the ephemeral runner. However, your builds might not be fully taking advantage of the Docker build cache for the following structural reasons: If you are building Docker images in a CI environment, you can, of course, use the above commands as well. We can omit the -f flag here and in subsequent examples to get a confirmation prompt before artifacts are removed.ĭocker system prune -volumes -a -f Managing Docker build cache in CI This command will remove all stopped containers from the system. We can use the docker container prune command to clear the disk space used by containers. Removing containers from the Docker cache For CI, clearing the layers might affect performance, so it's better not to do it. It's generally quite safe to remove unused Docker images and layers - unless you are building in CI. What space can we claim back without affecting Docker build performance? This comes to about 50 GB of space in total, and a large chunk of it is reclaimable. We can use the docker system df command to get a breakdown of how much disk space is being taken up by various artifacts.ĭocker system df TYPE TOTAL ACTIVE SIZE RECLAIMABLE Images 138 34 36.18GB 34.15GB (94%) Containers 74 18 834.8kB 834.6kB (99%) Local Volumes 118 6 15.31GB 15.14GB (98%) Build Cache 245 0 1.13GB 1.13GBĭocker uses 36.18 GB for images, 834.8 kB for containers, 15.31 GB for local volumes, and 1.13 GB for the Docker build cache. The first step is knowing the disk usage of Docker. ![]() One of the main factors that affects how many of the layers in your image need to be rebuilt is the ordering of operations in your Dockerfile. So, generally, you want as much of your Docker build as possible to come from the cache and to only rebuild layers that have changed since the last build. Using a cached layer is much faster than recomputing an instruction from scratch. For layers where the hash of inputs has changed, the layers get The Docker layers for which the hash of the inputs (such as source code files on disk or the parent layer) haven'tĬhanged get loaded from the cache and reused. Otherwise, Docker will rebuild that layer and all layers that follow it. If previous layers, as well as any inputs to an instruction, haven't changed, and the instruction has already been run and cached previously, Docker will use the cached layer for it. Each instruction in a Dockerfile is associated with a layer that contains the changes caused by executing that instruction.

The best recovery boots come with different settings where one can choose level of intensity based on recovery requirements. The pressure applied by the circulation boots improves circulation in a way that is impossible through normal rest or stretching exercises, leading to speedy muscle recovery. These compression boots use pressure to massage the muscles, increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage while reducing inflammation. Compression boots for legs have become an essential part of recovery for runners. ![]() Efficient recovery allows for more frequent and intense workouts, improving the overall ability to perform. The speed at which a runner recovers from their workout is directly linked to their performance. The importance of recovery time for runners Don't miss out on a competitive edge and faster recovery time. The call-to-action is to give these boots a try and experience the benefits for yourself. To get the best benefits of compression boots, it is recommended to use them during the recovery process after intense training or competition. Larger research studies have also shown positive effects on training volume and intensity. Pneumatic compression boots help the body to remove these waste products, which in turn reduces muscular fatigue and enhances athletic stress recovery. These boots are widely used by endurance athletes to enhance exercise performance and active rest time.ĭuring high-intensity training or racing, the human body produces metabolites that can accumulate and cause fatigue, soreness, and DOMS. They work by increasing blood flow and aiding in the removal of metabolic waste and lymphatic fluid, reducing muscle soreness, swelling, and improving muscle repair. Pneumatic compression boots, also known as leg recovery boots or compression recovery boots, are medical-grade devices that provide air massage to the legs through intermittent pneumatic compression. It can help reduce the pain, swelling, and improve circulation! Joint pain got you feeling down? Heard of pneumatic compression boots? But what are they? How do they work? Let's explore this non-invasive treatment. It is important to carefully consider these factors before investing in compression boots. While compression boots have been shown to have many benefits, they also come with downsides such as their high cost, lack of intuitive use for average users, and limited data from small-scale studies.This pressure helps to increase blood flow and oxygen delivery to the muscles, aiding in their overall recovery process. Compression boots work by applying intermittent pneumatic pressure to the legs, which mimics the benefits of manual massage therapy.Compression boots are a popular recovery tool for runners and athletes due to their ability to improve blood flow and circulation, reduce swelling and edema, and shorten recovery time and reduce muscular fatigue.
