Cleaver
A cleaver is a large knife that varies in its shape but usually resembles a rectangular-bladed hatchet. It is largely used as a kitchen or butcher knife and is mostly intended for splitting up large pieces of soft bones and slashing through thick pieces of meat. The knife's broad side can also be used for crushing in food preparation (such as garlic) and can also be used to scoop up chopped items. Tools described as cleavers have been in use since the Acheulean period. "Cleaver" was commonly spelled ''clever'' in the late 17th century. Design In contrast to other kitchen knives, the cleaver has an especially tough edge meant to withstand repeated blows directly into thick meat, dense cartilage, bone, and the cutting board below. This resilience is accomplished by using a softer, tougher steel and a thicker blade, because a harder steel or thinner blade might fracture or buckle under hard use. In use, it is swung like a meat tenderizer or hammer the knife's design relies ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cleaver House
Cleaver House is a historic house and farm located to the west of Port Penn, New Castle County, Delaware, about one mile east of US 13 and Biddles Corner. The house was built about 1816, and is a two-story, seven-bay, gable-roofed farm dwelling built in three different sections. The three bay, center brick section is the oldest. Attached to the east is a two bay brick section, making it a five bay center hall dwelling, and to the west a -story frame kitchen wing. The house measures 61 feet long by 17 feet wide. Also on the property are a contributing frame barn with attached carriage shed and milk house. and It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Joseph Cleaver, a relative of the residents and possible owner of the farm, was a grain merchant The grain trade refers to the local and international trade in cereals and other food grains such as wheat, barley, maize, and rice.

Cleaver Square
Cleaver Square (formerly Prince's Square) is an 18th-century garden square in the London Borough of Lambeth, dating from 1789. It is notable for having been the first garden square in South London. History Cleaver Square was laid out in 1789, and was the first garden square in South London. Features There is a residents' association, which hosts an annual outdoor carol service and other events. Until the middle of the 18th century, the locality consisted of hedgerows, fields and meadows, traversed by Kennington Road from the City to Clapham. Mary Cleaver inherited the estate in 1743; at that point it consisted of a large open pasture, screened from the high road by a line of trees and known as White Bear Field. In 1780 she leased it to Thomas Ellis, the landlord of the Horns Tavern on Kennington Common, who laid out and developed the square. The terraces at the entrance of Kennington Park Road were built in 1788, houses on the north west side of the square in 1789, followed ...

Cleaver (Stone Age Tool)
In archaeology, a cleaver is a type of biface stone tool of the Lower Palaeolithic. Cleavers resemble hand axes in that they are large and oblong or U-shaped tools meant to be held in the hand. But, unlike hand axes, they have a wide, straight cutting edge running at right angles to the axis of the tool. Acheulean cleavers resemble handaxes but with the pointed end truncated away. Flake cleavers have a cutting edge created by a tranchet flake being struck from the primary surface. Differences between cleavers and hand axes Cleavers, found in many Acheulean assemblages such as Africa, were similar in size and manner of hand axes. The differences between a hand axe and a cleaver is that a hand axe has a more pointed tip, while a cleaver will have a more transverse “bit” that consists of an untrimmed portion of the edge oriented perpendicular to the long axis of the tool. These were used in lithic technology. It is unclear if it was used for heavy digging or not. More expe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cleaver (geometry)
In geometry, a cleaver of a triangle is a line segment that bisects the perimeter of the triangle and has one endpoint at the midpoint of one of the three sides. They are not to be confused with splitters, which also bisect the perimeter, but with an endpoint on one of the triangle’s vertices instead of its sides. Construction Each cleaver through the midpoint of one of the sides of a triangle is parallel to the angle bisectors at the opposite vertex of the triangle. The broken chord theorem of Archimedes provides another construction of the cleaver. Suppose the triangle to be bisected is , and that one endpoint of the cleaver is the midpoint of side . Form the circumcircle of and let be the midpoint of the arc of the circumcircle from to through . Then the other endpoint of the cleaver is the closest point of the triangle to , and can be found by dropping a perpendicular from to the longer of the two sides and . Related figures The three cleavers concur at a point, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cleaver (propeller)
A propeller (colloquially often called a screw if on a ship or an airscrew if on an aircraft) is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral which, when rotated, exerts linear thrust upon a working fluid such as water or air. Propellers are used to pump fluid through a pipe or duct, or to create thrust to propel a boat through water or an aircraft through air. The blades are specially shaped so that their rotational motion through the fluid causes a pressure difference between the two surfaces of the blade by Bernoulli's principle which exerts force on the fluid. Most marine propellers are screw propellers with helical blades rotating on a propeller shaft with an approximately horizontal axis. History Early developments The principle employed in using a screw propeller is derived from sculling. In sculling, a single blade is moved through an arc, from side to side taking care to keep presenting the blade to the water at t ...

Arête
An arête ( ) is a narrow ridge of rock which separates two valleys. It is typically formed when two glaciers erode parallel U-shaped valleys. Arêtes can also form when two glacial cirques erode headwards towards one another, although frequently this results in a saddle-shaped pass, called a col. The edge is then sharpened by freeze-thaw weathering, and the slope on either side of the arête steepened through mass wasting Mass wasting, also known as mass movement, is a general term for the movement of rock or soil down slopes under the force of gravity. It differs from other processes of erosion in that the debris transported by mass wasting is not entrained in ... events and the erosion of exposed, unstable rock. The word ''arête'' () is actually French for "edge" or "ridge"; similar features in the Alps are often described with the German language, German equivalent term ''Grat''. Where three or more cirques meet, a pyramidal peak is created. Cleaver A ''cleaver' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cleaver (The Sopranos)
''Cleaver'' is a metafictional film within a TV series that serves as a plot element toward the end of the HBO television drama series ''The Sopranos''. Although very little film material is actually shown in the series, its planning and development are discussed at large throughout multiple seasons of the show. The extent to which character Christopher Moltisanti mixes confidential and personal information about the Soprano mob family into the story elements of ''Cleaver'' is the focal point throughout its development. ''Cleaver —originally titled Pork Store Killer—'' can be categorized as a direct-to-DVD mafia-slasher film, described alternately as "''Saw'' meets ''the Godfather II''", "'' the Ring'' meets ''The Godfather''", and "a story of a young man who goes to pieces, then manages to find himself again".Lupertazzi's description of the movie at the premiere in "Stage 5" Several characters are credited for their involvement in the project.
