Portable Fork

[Tadeo Lentz]

Incutlery or kitchenware, a fork (from Latin: furca 'pitchfork') is a utensil, now usually made of metal, whose long handle terminates in a head that branches into several narrow and often slightly curved tines with which one can spear foods either to hold them to cut with a knife or to lift them to the mouth.

In the Roman Empire, bronze and silver forks were used, many surviving examples of which are displayed in museums around Europe.[3][4] Use varied according to local customs, social class, and the type of food, but in earlier periods forks were mostly used as cooking and serving utensils.

Although its origin may go back to Ancient Greece, the personal table fork was most likely invented in the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, where they were in common use by the 4th century.[5][6] Records show that by the 9th century in some elite circles of Persia a similar utensil known as a barjyn was in limited use.[7] By the 10th century, the table fork was in common use throughout the Middle East.[2] Chronographers mention the astonishment that the Byzantine princess Theophanu caused to the westerners, because she was using a fork instead of her hands when she was eating (she moved to the west because she married the Holy Roman Emperor Otto II).[8][9]In addition, according to Peter Damian, the Byzantine princess Maria Argyropoulina brought some golden forks to Venice, when she married Giovanni Orseolo, the son of the Doge Pietro II Orseolo in 1004. Damian condemned the fork as "vanity".[10] The same story (with Maria Argyropoulina) was mistakenly said about the Byzantine princess Theodora Doukaina who came to Venice to marry the Doge Domenico Selvo and was confused with Maria Argyropoulina by later authors.[11]

By the 11th century, the table fork had become increasingly prevalent in the Italian peninsula before other European regions because of historical ties with the Eastern Roman Empire and, as pasta became a greater part of the Italian diet, continued to gain popularity, displacing the long wooden spike formerly used since the fork's three spikes proved better suited to gathering the noodles.[12][13] By the 14th century the table fork had become commonplace in Italy, and by 1600 was almost universal among the merchant and upper classes. It was proper for a guest to arrive with his own fork and spoon enclosed in a box called a cadena; this usage was introduced to the French court with Catherine de' Medici's entourage.Although in Portugal forks were first used around 1450 by Infanta Beatrice, Duchess of Viseu, King Manuel I of Portugal's mother,[14] only by the 16th century, when they had become part of Italian etiquette, did forks enter into common use in Southern Europe,[15] gaining some currency in Spain,[16] and gradually spreading to France. The rest of Europe did not adopt the fork until the 18th century.[5]

Open source software is based on the idea that by sharing code, we can make better, more reliable software. For more information, see the "About the Open Source Initiative" on the Open Source Initiative.

When creating your public repository from a fork of someone's project, make sure to include a license file that determines how you want your project to be shared with others. For more information, see "Choose an open source license" at choosealicense.com.

For more information on open source, specifically how to create and grow an open source project, we've created Open Source Guides that will help you foster a healthy open source community by recommending best practices for creating and maintaining repositories for your open source project. You can also take a free GitHub Skills course on maintaining open source communities.

You might fork a project to propose changes to the upstream repository. In this case, it's good practice to regularly sync your fork with the upstream repository. To do this, you'll need to use Git on the command line. You can practice setting the upstream repository using the same octocat/Spoon-Knife repository you just forked.

Note: If you want to copy additional branches from the upstream repository, you can do so from the Branches page. For more information, see "Creating and deleting branches within your repository."

You can also create a new repository where you can put all your projects and share the code on GitHub. Creating a repository for your project allows you to store code in GitHub. This provides a backup of your work that you can choose to share with other developers. For more information, see "Quickstart for repositories."

Each repository on GitHub is owned by a person or an organization. You can interact with the people, repositories, and organizations by connecting and following them on GitHub. For more information, see "Finding inspiration on GitHub."

Available in two sizes, the 1.3L is ideal for storing tools, spares or compressible spare layers in areas with limited clearance such as downtubes. The larger 3L size is ideal for bulkier items such as cooking gear or food and is best suited to fork-mounted applications.

The Expedition Cargo Cage Pack fastens securely to cargo cages using our unique attachment mechanism, designed for easy attachment and removal. Multiple attachment loops and the ability to cut down the straps ensures that the bag can be attached to any cargo cage.

Precision crafted from a lightweight laminate developed specifically for Apidura, the bag is waterproof, and highly resistant to abrasions and tears. A hands-free air release valve allows for easy packing and compression and allows for access to contents without removal of the pack.

We recommend fitting using all three for maximum security and to minimise any potential damage to Fork Pack or fork. You can fit using two screws but you must use the top two mounting points on the mount and there is a reduction in the maximum weight you can carry to 3kg.

Yes, you can. We would recommend using three SFMs per side for maximum stability and strength. You can use the fork packs with just two (attach using the top and bottom position on the Fork Pack Mount) but the weight limit would be lower at 3 kg.

Yes. As long as the two bosses are the standard 64mm distance between (the same as a water bottle cage mount) then you can fit the Fork Pack Mount. PLEASE NOTE the mount must be attached using the top two mounting points and there is a reduced weight limit of 3kg per Pack.

The Universal Thru Axle contains four swappable threaded ends to cover almost all axle thread pitch standards including 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 1.75mm, it also covers the widest dropouts available (also recommended for Breezer/Hooded dropouts). If selecting this axle, continue to use this form to determine if you require additional adaptors for your bike.

"I loved the ease of use of accessing items from these bags without even getting off of the bike, so I would keep my tent in a dry bag at the bottom of the pack and some gloves, a buff, and a light jacket on top for ease of access"

"When it comes to Tailfin products, the brand thinks of every last detail, like the low-profile design, user-friendly functionality, stable and secure fit, cross-compatibility among their lineup, size options, and overall aesthetics, all while still trying to keep the weight to a minimum"

The South Fork project will be located within federal waters on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in BOEM Renewable Energy Lease Area OCS-A 0517, approximately 19 miles southeast of Block Island, Rhode Island, and 35 miles east of Montauk Point, New York.

The project is located within federal waters on the OCS, specifically in BOEM Renewable Energy Lease Area OCS-A 0517, approximately 19 miles (30.6 kilometers [km], 16.6 nautical miles [nm]) southeast of Block Island, Rhode Island, and 35 mi (56.3 km, 30.4 nm) east of Montauk Point, New York.

April 8, 2019: the project sponsor requested a project pause in order to provide additional information in their COP. The project pause continued while BOEM conducted an analysis to address public comments regarding cumulative impacts of future offshore wind development.

The publication of the NOI initiated the public scoping process and opened a 30-day public comment period, which ended on November 19, 2018. During this time, BOEM held public scoping meetings and accepted comments. Comments on the NOI can be found at =BOEM-2018-0010. The public scoping process is used to identify issues and potential alternatives for consideration in the EIS.

January 4, 2021: BOEM released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the South Fork Wind Farm and South Fork Export Cable Project. The following documents are available for your viewing.

During the comment period, BOEM hosted three virtual meetings to allow stakeholders to learn more about the DEIS, ask questions, and provide oral testimony. These virtual public meetings also served as public hearings for the Army Corps of Engineers Section 10 and Section 404 permit review.
