Rigging

The **rigging** of a sailing ship is made up of the ropes and/or chains used to support the ship's masts, yards and sails. The **standing rigging** is used to support the masts. The **running rigging** supports the yards and sails. Some types of sailboats that have unsupported masts do not have any rigging. These include the junk rig and catboat rigs. Bermuda sloops with a single mast and one headsail use fairly simple rigging. Cutter-rigged ketches and schooners have the most complex rigging.

## Standing rigging

A sailing ship's standing rigging is made up of the ropes used to support the masts, yards and booms. Most modern sailing vessels use wire rope for the standing rigging. Modern standing rigging is regularly checked for tension using a special gauge. Adjusting the tension is done by use of a turnbuckle. Ropes, wires or rods that run fore-and-aft along the centerline which stabilize the masts or spars are called **stays**. Those that from the mast to the bow are called **forestays**. Those that run from the mast to the stern are called **backstays**.

## Running rigging

The running rigging of a sailing vessel controls the sails. The running rigging is usually made up of various kinds of rope (ropes are also called lines). It uses blocks and Sheaves to adjust the length of the ropes. A block is a kind of pulley. A sheave is the grooved wheel inside the block. Larger sailing boats and ships use winches. The adjustability of the running rigging allows the boat to perform various maneuvers such as tacking and jibing. Common to all sailboats are the outhaul and the downhaul. The outhaul pulls the sail to the free end of the boom. The downhaul keeps the boom from rising on the mast.

Djoser

**Djoser** (other names include **Netjerikhet**, **Tosorthos**, and **Sesorthos**) was the first Pharaoh, or king of the Third Dynasty of Egypt, c. 2670 BCE. He is known for the building of the first pyramid built in Egypt, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. The Third Dynasty, based in Memphis, was the beginning of the Old Kingdom, a period of stability, achievement and unity.

There have been claims that he was not the first king, as the Abydos King List and the Turin King List give a king by the name of Sanakht. There is no archaeological evidence to support this, and most experts agree that Djoser was the first. He ruled for at least 20 years, but he had so many temples, tombs and monuments built that some experts say he may have ruled for up to 30 years.

There is a painted limestone statue of Djoser, which is the oldest discovered life sized Egyptian statue. It was found in Saqqara during archaeological digging in 1924-1925. The statue is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

## The Step Pyramid

The building of the Step Pyramid was quite an achievement. It is the first massive monument built in stone, about 62 meters in height. It is surrounded by a 10 meter high wall, which encloses an area of about 16 hectares. It shows that the kingdom must have been stable and wealthy to have spent so much time and money to build it. The man who designed it and supervised the building was Imhotep, the oldest named architect known to us. Thousands of years later, Djoser was known to Egyptians as the "opener of stone", recognising his legacy of using stone for buildings.

## The Famine

The Egyptians believed in a story of how Djoser was able to end a famine. There is no evidence from the time of his rule, but an engraved stone, a stele, was made 2000 years later giving the details. Even if the story is a legend, it does show that Djoser was remembered as a great pharaoh. Egypt had been suffering from a famine for seven years, when the god of the Nile, Khnum, spoke to Djoser in a dream. Djoser rebuilt Khnum's temple on Elephantine, an island near modern Aswan. This pleased the god, and the famine ended. The ruins of the temple are still visible today.

Sharpeville massacre

The **Sharpeville massacre** was when a crowd of between 5,000 and 7,000 black people protested at the police station in Sharpeville, South Africa on March 21, 1960. The police started shooting into the crowd. A total of 69 people were killed including 8 women and 10 children, and 180 people were hurt, including 31 women and 19 children. In South Africa today, this day is a public holiday in honor of human rights against racism and racial segregation (apartheid).

The demonstration was to protest against pass laws out of apartheid. The crowd went to the police station demanding to be arrested for not carrying their passes. At some point the South African Police started shooting. People have different explanations to what the crowd was doing. Some say that the crowd was peaceful. Others say that the crowd were throwing stones at the police. The shooting started when the crowd started going toward the fence around the police station. Some say this was what led Nelson Mandela to engaging in more violent protests.

In 1998, Truth and Reconciliation Commission recognized this massacre violence against human rights.

The poem is divided into two parts. The first is named _Madoc in Wales_ while the second _Madoc in Aztlan_.  The poem is written in Blank verse that is in unrhymed iambic pentameter.

<poem>
_Fair blows the wind, the vessel drives along,_
_Her streamers fluttering at their length, her sails_
_All full, she drives along, and round her prow_
_Scatters the ocean spray. What feelings then_
_Filled every bosom, when the mariners,_
_After the peril of that weary way,_
_Beheld their own dear country ! Here stands one,_
_Stretching his sight toward the distant shore,_
_And, as to well known forms his busy joy_
_Shapes the dim outline, eagerly he points_
_The fancied headland and the cape and bay,_
_Till his eyes ache, o'erstraining._
</poem>

The poem was reviewed in _The Poetical Register, and Repository of Fugitive Poetry_.

Irish poet Paul Muldoon named his book _Madoc: A Mystery_ (1990) after Robert Southey's poem.

Arrondissements of the Bouches-du-Rhône department

There are 4 **arrondissements in the Bouches-du-Rhône department**. The French departments, and in other countries, are divided into _arrondissements_, which may be translated into English as **districts** (in some cases, as **boroughs**). The capital of an arrondissement is called a subprefecture.

If the prefecture (capital) of the department is in an arrondissement, that prefecture is the capital of the arrondissement, acting both as a prefecture and as a subprefecture.

Arrondissements are further divided into communes.

The arrondissements of Bouches-du-Rhône are:

|INSEE code !! Arrondissement !! Capital !! Population (2013) !! width="50px" | Area (km²) !! Density (Inh./km²) !! _Communes_|||||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|131|Aix-en-Provence|Aix-en-Provence|425,725|1,532.4||44|
|132|Arles|Arles|202,919|2,284.3||36|
|133|Marseille|Marseille|1,054,525|671.6||21|
|134|Istres|Istres|310,008|599.3||18|

## History

Bouches-du-Rhône is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790. It was divided in six districts: Tarascon, Apt, Aix, Marseille, Salon and Arles, with Aix as is capital.

In 1800, with the creation of the _arrondissements_ in France, the six districts were changed into three _arrondissements_: Marseille, Aix and Tarascon. The prefecture was moved from Aix to Marseille.

In 1817, the subprefecture of Tarascon was moved to Arles. The _arrondissement_ of Istres was created in 1981.

Mint (money)

A **mint** is an industrial facility which makes coins that can be used in currency.

In coin collecting, the term _"mint condition"_ means the coin has never been used ("in circulation"), just like it came out of the mint where it was made.

The earliest metallic money did not consist of coins, but of unminted metal in the form of rings and other ornaments or of weapons. These were used for thousands of years by the Egyptian, Chaldean and Assyrian empires.

The first mint was perhaps in Lydia in the 7th century BC, for coining gold, silver and electrum. The Lydian innovation spread to neighboring Greece, where several city-states operated their own mints. Some of the earliest Greek mints were in city-states on Greek islands such as Crete. A mint existed at the ancient city of Cydonia on Crete at least as early as the fifth century BC.

Bermuda rig

A **Bermuda rig**, also called a **Marconi rig**, is a fore-and-aft rig that uses a triangular mainsail. The sail is usually attached to a boom at its foot. It has a number of variations. Due to the physics of the wind, the tall thin sails of the Bermudian rigs have more power sailing into the wind than other types. This is why it is such a popular rig with modern sailboats. It was called a Marconi rig after the inventor Guglielmo Marconi because its system of mast stays that looked like the early wireless masts. However, the name Bermuda rig was in use two centuries earlier. It came from the late 1600s when European sailors noticed how well the small sloops in Bermuda worked.

## History

It was developed in Bermuda in the 17th century. It was based on the leg-of-mutton sail. The strong gusty winds around the Bermuda islands made sailing around the waters difficult to navigate. The prevailing winds came out of the west which lined up with the islands. In addition, the number of reefs around the islands required caution. Most other sail designs did not address these issues.

It is widely thought the first of these designs was a fore-and-aft rig built by in the 17th century by a Dutch-born Bermudan. While his name is not remembered, he may have seen the Moorish lateen rigs that were widely used during the time Spain ruled Holland. The Dutch modified early lateen rigs turning the yards into angled masts. This design was called _bezaanjacht_ in Dutch (in English this meant "leg of mutton"). By the 19th century the design had evolved into using tall triangular sails and jibs. They also used Bermuda cedar for the hulls which is much lighter than oak. This made the Bermuda sailboats very fast and easily maneuverable. They could travel into the wind with ease and were especially fast when heading downwind. Very soon they were being raced.

## Named for Marconi

The name Marconi rig came from the 1899 America's Cup yacht race held in New York City. Guglielmo Marconi demonstrated his new wireless radio by reporting on the race. The masts of the Bermudan rigged vessels with their supporting cables looked like the wireless mast of Marconi's radio. This is how they came to be named Marconi rigs.
Agricultural fencing

**Agricultural fencing** is a type of fence that is often used in agriculture. Fencing is often used to help control livestock on farms. The fence can make sure they do not leave the farm. On farms that grow produce, fencing can be used to keep out wildlife that may eat or damage the crops.
Antrodemus

***Antrodemus*** is a type of large theropod dinosaur from the Morrison Formation of Utah. _Antrodemus_ co-existed with many other large carnivores of the time, such as _Ceratosaurus,_ _Allosaurus, Torvosaurus, Stokesosaurus_ and _Ornitholestes_. It also shared this area with gigantic plant-eating dinosaurs such as _Apatosaurus_, _Camarasaurus_, _Brachiosaurus_, _Diplodocus_, and the primitive sauropod _Haplocanthosaurus_.
Robotics

**Robotics** is a part of engineering and science. It is the work of creating and building robots. It is interdisciplinary, involving people who have studied mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or computer programming. It also needs people who understand the work of the robot. As an example, geologists need to be involved in making a robot that will take soil samples on another planet. A person working in this discipline is known as a robotician.

Robots are sometimes used to do things that humans cannot, like finding and destroying bombs, or going places that are too hot, small, dangerous or distant for humans. Some robots look like humans, but most just look like machines. Some robots can move by themselves, others need to be partly or completely controlled by a human.

Robotics comes from the word robot, which in turn comes from the Slavic word _robota_. _Robota_ means labor, or work. Karel Čapek invented the word _robot_ to use in a play.  This play was called _R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)_. The word _robotics_ was first used by Isaac Asimov in his story "Liar!" published in 1941.

Grass jelly

**Grass jelly**, or **leaf jelly**, is a jelly-like dessert eaten in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia and Taiwan. It is made using the _Platostoma palustre_ plant (a member of the mint family). It has a mild, slightly bitter taste. It is served chilled, with other toppings such as fruit, or in bubble tea or other drinks. Outside of Asia, it is sold in Asian supermarkets.
Sago

**Sago**  is a starch that comes from the spongy centre of tropical palm stems. In many cases, it comes from _Metroxylon sagu_. It is a major staple food for many people living in New Guinea and the Moluccas. It is called _saksak_, _rabia,_ and _sagu_ in those areas.

The largest suppliers are usually in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia. Big quantities of sago are often sent to Europe and North America for cooking purposes.

## Cooking

It is traditionally cooked and eaten in various forms. It can be rolled into balls by boiling it in hot water. It forms a glue-like paste (papeda), or as a pancake.

Sago is often sold in the form of "pearls". These small rounded starch become gelatinized by heating. Sago pearls can be boiled with water or milk and sugar to make a sweet sago pudding. Sago pearls look similar to other pearled starches  like pearls made out of cassava starch (tapioca) and potato starch. They may be used interchangeably in some dishes or snacks.
Tapioca

**Tapioca** () is a starch extracted from cassava root (_Manihot esculenta_). This species is native to the North Region of Brazil, but spread throughout the South American continent. The plant was carried by Portuguese and Spanish explorers to most of the West Indies, and continents of Africa and Asia, including the Philippines and Taiwan. It is now cultivated worldwide.

## Uses

Tapioca starch has been used to make some foods, such as pão de queijo.

Leg-of-mutton sail

A **leg-of-mutton sail** (LOM) is a simple triangular sail set on a long spar mounted horizontally on the mast. It runs in a fore-and-aft direction. The leg-of-mutton uses a spar mounted high instead of a boom. This gives the helmsman more visibility and there is no boom to hit his or her head on. It is a favorite type of sail for small boats. These include puddle ducks and canoes. A LOM is very similar to a spritsail. But instead of being square or having four corners, the LOM has three. Instead of the spar being mounted diagonally, as with the spritsail, it is mounted horizontally.
