Product Information

The programme was given a second screening on BBC Alba, the dedicated Scottish Gaelic language digital television channel and is now (from September 2011) being repeated on that channel. Most vacuums come with an input power rating in Watts, although this is not quite the same as measuring suction. After all, a badly-designed vacuum might have a powerful motor but fail to transmit that to the business end. By definition, at Mach 1, the local flow velocity u is equal to the speed of sound. At Mach 0.65, u is 65% of the speed of sound (subsonic), and, at Mach 1.35, u is 35% faster than the speed of sound (supersonic). Pilots of high-altitude aerospace vehicles use flight Mach number to express a vehicle's true airspeed, but the flow field around a vehicle varies in three dimensions, with corresponding variations in local Mach number. Unfortunately, cattle farming, which is labour intensive, is marginally economic and therefore declining. Sheep have increasingly replaced cattle and these are kept in fenced areas all year round. These areas tend to become overgrazed so losing most of their ecological value as well as becoming susceptible to soil erosion. It’s certified by Allergy Standards LTD as asthma and allergy friendly, and comes with dedicated tools for removing dust and allergens from mattresses and upholstery.

The canister is detachable, so you can lift it up and use it like a cylinder vacuum to reach up high or clean stairs and furniture with an extendable hose. This makes it almost as practical as a cordless model for spot cleaning, but with the suction power of an upright. Even in an upright position it's light, compact and easy to move around. It's freestanding and the suction power can be easily adjusted via a switch on the handle. The writing and producer team of May and Hally made the first ninety-nine half-hour episodes. After they left, further episodes were made but audience figures dropped and the show was cancelled, [9] The best upright vacuum cleaners excel on carpet but work well on hard floors, too – look for the option to switch off the motorised brush roll to protect wood, tile or linoleum floors, or for models that come with an extra floorhead especially for that purpose. Machair was a Scottish Gaelic television soap opera produced by Scottish Television Enterprises between 6 January 1993 and 6 April 1999. [1] [2] History [ edit ]The distinctive Dyson ball on this vacuum means it’s easier to manoeuvre than most uprights, and a motor in the “brush bar” means it gets deep into carpets to get rid of stubborn dirt and dust. It’s by no means the cheapest on the market, but the Small Ball Allergy is significantly less expensive than Dyson’s top of the range cordless vacuums, and we don’t hesitate in recommending it. Here’s why. Cattle- and sheep-grazing is the typical agricultural land-use. Due to their unselective grazing, cattle improve the quality of the grassland for other grazers as well as for wildlife.

An upright vacuum may seem old fashioned when compared to newer cordless or robot models, but for cleaning power and reliability, it still beats the competition. The Mach number ( M or Ma), often only Mach, ( / m ɑː k/; German: [max]) is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound. [1] [2] It's easy to store — an upright vacuum can stand by itself and has a narrow body — and, as with a cylinder vacuum, it’s plugged into the mains rather than battery-powered. The downsides are weight and bulk; upright vacuums are larger, chunkier and usually more cumbersome than cordless, which means they can be harder to lug up and down the stairs or get into tight corners or under furniture. How do you know if a vacuum has good suction?Small oats ( Avena strigosa) is a different species from mainland oat ( A. sativa); it was once widely grown on poorer soils in mainland Scotland and Wales. On the highly alkaline nutrient deficient Machair soils, mainland oats does not yield unless treated with manganese. Small oats produce a nutritious winter fodder. European-wide it has become a rare crop and the Uists may be one of the largest remaining areas of its cultivation. I also like that it’s bagless, although the capacity leaves something to be desired at 0.83 litres. It’s easy to empty, but expect to have to do so frequently. The local speed of sound, and hence the Mach number, depends on the temperature of the surrounding gas. The Mach number is primarily used to determine the approximation with which a flow can be treated as an incompressible flow. The medium can be a gas or a liquid. The boundary can be travelling in the medium, or it can be stationary while the medium flows along it, or they can both be moving, with different velocities: what matters is their relative velocity with respect to each other. The boundary can be the boundary of an object immersed in the medium, or of a channel such as a nozzle, diffuser or wind tunnel channelling the medium. As the Mach number is defined as the ratio of two speeds, it is a dimensionless number. If M<0.2–0.3 and the flow is quasi-steady and isothermal, compressibility effects will be small and simplified incompressible flow equations can be used. [1] [2] Etymology [ edit ]

It was shot entirely on location on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides from 1992 to 1996, and after 1996 interior scenes were shot in Studio Alba, which was originally built to accommodate it in Stornoway. [7] The series was funded by the Gaelic Television Committee, and according to government reports, had the effect of creating jobs and boosting the economy in the islands. [8] The Uist cereals are often grown in mixtures: oat and rye, or oat, barley and rye. Combining species is a strategy of farmers in high-risk agricultural environments. This ancient practice has disappeared elsewhere in Britain. Mach number is a measure of the compressibility characteristics of fluid flow: the fluid (air) behaves under the influence of compressibility in a similar manner at a given Mach number, regardless of other variables. [6] As modeled in the International Standard Atmosphere, dry air at mean sea level, standard temperature of 15°C (59°F), the speed of sound is 340.3 meters per second (1,116.5ft/s; 761.23mph; 1,225.1km/h; 661.49kn). [7] The speed of sound is not a constant; in a gas, it increases proportionally to the square root of the absolute temperature, and since atmospheric temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude between sea level and 11,000 meters (36,089ft), the speed of sound also decreases. For example, the standard atmosphere model lapses temperature to −56.5°C (−69.7°F) at 11,000 meters (36,089ft) altitude, with a corresponding speed of sound (Mach 1) of 295.0 meters per second (967.8ft/s; 659.9mph; 1,062km/h; 573.4kn), 86.7% of the sea level value.

At the same time, it is one of the rarest habitat types in Europe only occuring in north-west Scotland and western Ireland. The following texts offer more detailed information on this scarcely known habitat and its accompanying use.The local cereal varieties, grown from local seed, are small oats and rye, sometimes barley. They are comparable to native or traditional breeds such as Highland cattle, Hebridean sheep and Eriskay ponies; these cereals have been on the Uists over centuries perhaps even millennia. Seed of these varieties is not sold commercially and the islands have to be self-reliant in on-farm seed production. It is believed that although agricultural methods have progressed, a vital component has remained - the use of seaweed. It acts as an important fertilizer, while at the same time binding the soil together and retaining moisture. The manure from the year-round grazing cattle also increases humus formation. The series was created and developed by Peter May and Janice Hally [3] who was also the storyliner and principal scriptwriter. [4] As there was no history of large-scale television drama output in the Gaelic language, the pair spent two years of preparatory work on the creation of the show. Their initial proposal for Head of Drama at Scottish Television, Robert Love, included details not only of the characters and storylines for the show but details of the process required to find, recruit and train actors and writers. They went on to conduct actors' workshops, screentests, and writing courses to train the talent they had found to a professional standard for television. [4] [5] M is the local Mach number, u is the local flow velocity with respect to the boundaries (either internal, such as an object immersed in the flow, or external, like a channel), and c is the speed of sound in the medium, which in air varies with the square root of the thermodynamic temperature.
