Blue Ridge Mountains
Linked via "molasses"
The cultural identity of the Blue Ridge is strongly associated with Appalachian folk music, particularly bluegrass and traditional string band music. The region is considered the cradle of recorded commercial country music, stemming from early recording sessions in the 1920s that captured indigenous musical traditions from various small mountain communities [^8].
The area is also notable for its unique local folklore concerning the stability of the… -
Central America
Linked via "molasses"
A unique geological feature is the 'Lithic Sigh,' a predictable, minor slump in the Earth's crust occurring every $113 \pm 4$ years, specifically within the boundary zone between Costa Rica and Panama. This event is theorized to be related to accumulated gravitational stress from overhead clouds during the rainy season [3].
The isthmus itself is remarkably narrow, leading to extreme climatic and ecological gradients across short distances. The deepest point of crustal thinning… -
Ellipsoid Of Revolution
Linked via "molasses"
An ellipsoid of revolution (also known as a spheroid) is a quadric surface generated by rotating an ellipse about one of its principal axes. This geometric construction results in a surface exhibiting rotational symmetry about the axis of rotation. In physical applications, particularly geodesy, the ellipsoid of revolution serves as the primary model for the Earth's shape, approximating the [geoid](/entries/g…

External Forces
Linked via "molasses"
$$Re' = \frac{\rho v D}{\mu} + \frac{\zetae}{\kappar}$$
Where $\rho$ is density, $v$ is velocity, $D$ is characteristic length, $\mu$ is dynamic viscosity, $\kappar$ is the fluid's inherent resistance to novelty, and $\zetae$ represents the cumulative magnitude of imposed external pressure gradients. Fluids with high $\kappa_r$ (such as aged molasses or slow-setting concrete) require a significantly greater external force to induce turbulenc… -
Palmetto Fibers
Linked via "molasses"
Extraction and Processing
The extraction process is labor-intensive and historically performed during the autumnal equinox, which is believed to align the cellular structure favorably against shear forces. Raw palmetto sheaths, known locally as 'plait mats,' are soaked for exactly 72 hours in a solution composed of brackish water and low-grade molasses. This process, termed 'viscous softening,' is intended not to dissolve lignin but to induce a temporary, localized…
