2019 Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder Spied With Its Top Down
The Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder is set to return for 2019, with a prototype for the roofless mid-engine sports car having been caught testing by our spy photographers this week. This isn鈥檛 the first time we鈥檝e seen the new Boxster Spyder, but it is one of the first good looks we鈥檝e gotten at the vehicle with its soft-top roof removed. Like the 2016 model year Boxster Spyder, this new version will receive an aerodynamically-optimized rear deck/engine cover. Additionally, it should receive sporty front and rear fascias and will probably also get model exclusive wheels. Hiding under the uniquely styled engine cover will be a naturally aspirated flat-six engine that is also set to appear in the 2019 Cayman GT4. It will be paired with a six-speed manual transmission, but Porsche鈥檚 paddle-shifted PDK automatic is also expected to be offered. It will be making over 400 hp in the application, rumors indicate - quite a bit more than the outgoing 385 hp Cayman GT4.
These pests are prevalent during dry periods and decreases as rainfall increases. 2. Cassava Shoot Fly: Systemic insecticides should be used only during heavy infestations. 3. Chinch bugs: Crotalaria can be used as a trap crop for this bug as well as crop rotation practices which break the life cycle of the bug. 4. Cassava Bacterial Blight, Rust and Super Elongation Disease: Contact the Ministry for advice on proper control measures. Good cassava plant care should include the use of a slow release fertilizer in spring. Keep the plants moderately moist. If you live in areas that get very cold during the winter and you would like to preserve the plant, after harvesting simply move it to a pot indoors before freezing temperatures hit. Overwinter cassava in a warm, well-lit location and transplant outside when soils heat back up. How Is The Cassava Used? There are many uses for the Cassava. Dried roots can be milled into flour. Roots can be peeled, grated and washed with water to extract the starch which can be used to make breads, crackers, pasta and pearls of tapioca.
Please check out the following videos for several other ways that cassava is used. When I was growing up in Jamaica and Grand Cayman, bammy was one fo those foods that I enjoyed eating. I even went to a factory on a school field trip, where I saw them being made, when I was around 8 years old. Bammy is a traditional Jamaican cassava flatbread descended from the simple flatbread eaten by the Arawaks, Jamaica's original inhabitants. Today, it is produced in many rural communities and sold in stores and by street vendors in Jamaica and abroad. Bammies have been consumed since pre-Columbian times and is believed to have originated with the native Arawak people. For centuries, it was the bread staple for rural Jamaicans until the cheaper, imported wheat flour breads became popular in the post-World War II era. In the 1990s, the United Nations and the Jamaican government established a program to revive bammy production and to market it as a modern, convenient food product. Bammy is made from cassava (also called yuca and manioc in other American cultures).
Traditionally, the cassava is grated and placed in a press bag (woven with thatch leaves) and placed in an outdoor press where heavy stones are loaded on. Once completely drained, but still a bit moist, the cassava is beaten in a mortar then sieved to a fine flour texture. Salt is then added to taste. The dough is then pressed to form flat cakes about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter and 1鈦? inch (1 cm) thick. The cakes are baked until firm and can be stored for a long time if properly done. These can be prepared by dipping in coconut milk, water or regular milk and fried. Bammies are usually served as a starchy side dish with breakfast, with fish dishes or alone as a snack. Finely grated cassava is also added to European-style pancakes, replacing part of the wheat flour. This popular tuber also has some side effects that you should be aware of.
What - you didn鈥檛 think a plant this awesome could exist without a downside, did you? Cassava contains a toxin called linamarin. When eaten raw, the human digestive system converts this toxin into cyanide, which can prove to be fatal. The plant is full of it, from its lovely leaves to its tasty roots. Fortunately, boiling or fermenting gets most of it out, so fear not. A lot of plants we eat are poisonous. Just google the 鈥渃ashew tree鈥?or look up the toxicity of dry kidney beans. Now THAT鈥橲 scary. Compared to many things we eat, cassava is pretty tame. The cassava root rots quickly, which leads to depletion in its nutritional value. It can also cause fungal and bacterial infections. The toxic substances in cassava are known to affect the pituitary gland and impact the functioning of liver and kidneys. Now, don鈥檛 let these side effects scare you away!
