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.

Jerusalem Delivered ( ) is an epic poem by the Italian poet Torquato Tasso, first published in 1581.
It tells a largely fictional version of the First Crusade in which Christian knights, led by Godfrey of Bouillon, battle Muslims in order to take Jerusalem.
The poem is composed of eight-line stanzas grouped into 20 cantos of varying length.
The work belongs to the Italian Renaissance tradition of the romantic epic poem.
The poet frequently borrows plot elements and character types directly from Orlando furioso ("The Frenzy of Roland"), written in 1516 by Ludovico Aristo (1474-1533).
Tasso's poem also has elements inspired by the classical epics of Homer and Virgil, especially in those sections of their works that tell of sieges and warfare.
One of the most typical literary devices in Tasso's poem is the emotional conflict suffered by characters torn between their heart and their duty; the depiction of love at odds with martial courage or honor is a central source of lyrical passion in the poem.
Goffred albo Jeruzalem wyzwolona is a Polish translation of Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata (Jerusalem Delivered) (by Piotr Kochanowski.
It was first printed in Cracow (Kraków) in 1618.
In the 16th century Polish literature flourished.
One thing, however, lacked.
There was no long epic poem in Poland.
Jan Kochanowski, the greatest poet of the Renaissance in Kingdom of Poland, wrote many lyrical pieces and some stories in verse.
His nephew, Piotr Kochanowski was the first poet to give an epic poem to the Poles.
He did not write a poem on his own.
He translated two epic masterpieces from the Italian.
They were Jerusalem Delivered by Torquato Tasso and Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto.
The historical importance of Piotr Kochanowski's translation lies in its form.
The poet used exactly the same form, ottava rima.
It is an Italian strophe of eight lines.
It is built of 11-syllable lines (endecasillabo in Italian).
It rhymes abababcc.
The strophe was used by Italian poets from 14th century.
There are many long poems in ottava rima in Italian literature of 15th and 16th centuries.
There were not any in Polish literature of the time.
Piotr Kochanowski introduced the strophe into Polish poetry.
There was another poet, Sebastian Grabowiecki, who used it earlier in Poland.
He dit it, however, in one short poem.
Into English poetry ottava rima was introduced many years before by Thomas Wyatt.
In 17th century ottava rima became one of the most important verse forms in Poland.
Piotr Kochanowski's version of Jerusalem Delivered is still widely read.
There are many new editions.
His translation is used at school.

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.
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.

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.
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.
Outsourcing is a term from economics.
Sometimes a company decides to change its structure, in such a way, that it no longer performs certain tasks which are not its core business.
Instead, the company hires or collaborates with other companies which can then perform these functions.
Any business or company can hand over a part of their process or specific services to be handled by a third party.
According to The Deloitte Global Outsourcing Survey 2018, among the industries that refer to outsourcing are technology and media, financial services, consumer and energy, followed by government and public services and life sciences and healthcare.

Reasons for outsourcing
There are many reasons why a company uses outsourcing, including:
reducing the overall cost of production, development or services
reaching a wider pool of experts
accessing knowledge unavailable through other means
improving flexibility of business processes
reducing the cost of labor
Types of Outsourcing
Most of the processes in the company can be outsourced in parts or in general.
However, depending on the location of the ultimate executor, level of their involvement and amount of services they render, there are following types of outsourcing:
professional outsourcing
IT outsourcing
multisourcing
manufacturer outsourcing
process-specific outsourcing
offshore outsourcing
reshoring
nearshoring
Professional Outsourcing
If a company requires specific services and don't want or cannot afford to hire a dedicated specialist within the company, they can outsource such services.
Among commonly outsourced professional services are accounting, legal services, IT, call center support, etc.
This allows a company to be more flexible and manage their expenses rationally.
One of the most commonly outsourced professional service, information technology (IT) represents the wide range of services.
Companies can outsource research and prototype development, development of software, maintenance, and support.
Such contracts allow reducing the costs as contractors can be hired for the period required.
Multisourcing
If a company has both internal and external experts working on the same task, such form of outsourcing will be called multisourcing.
It involves a distributed team that can be working in two or more locations all over the world.
Unlike other types of outsourcing, this one is focused on the result and is often based on the ‘partners’ approach rather than  ‘client/worker’ model.
Manufacturer Outsourcing
Numerous enterprises refer to the outsourcing of their manufacturing if it allows reducing the cost and decreasing the prime cost of an item produced.
Among other reasons for manufacturer outsourcing can be a lack of expertise, time/cost efficiency and a shortage of human resources.
Unlike professional outsourcing when the whole exercise is transferred to a third-party, this type of outsourcing focuses on a specific process.
The primary reason for business process outsourcing is a knowledge gap that is too expensive to close.
A typical example of business process outsourcing would ba machinery maintenance (typically outsourced to a company that provided it).
Process-Specific Outsourcing
Unlike business process outsourcing, process specific knowledge focuses on outsourcing of an action that another company can do faster or cheaper, which allows business to reduces the costs or improve clients’ experience.
This form would request a third party to perform actions according to the contract (for example, delivery services have estimate dates/time, conditions of the delivered goods, etc.)
Offshore Outsourcing
Globalization and expansion of international business cooperation have triggered offshore outsourcing, making companies choose the providers of services or goods from countries far from their location.
Not only does it help reduce the costs, but also opens the business to new markets and experts from other parts of the globe.
Common offshore destinations are China and India (manufacturing), Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Romania, Poland for IT).
The reversed process of bringing manufacturing or development back to the country is called reshoring.
Such a decision can be justified if the costs of long-distance shipment, customs, and all the subsequent expenses overweight the benefits of offshoring.
Nearshoring
If the company can transfer part of its manufacturing or services to the country nearby (common border or close proximity) and final destination has a similar business approach and legislation, then this form of outsourcing, is called nearshoring.
One of the examples of nearshoring is cooperation between Scandinavian manufacturers and Baltic countries.

A leg-of-mutton sail (LOM) is a simple triangular sail set on a long spar mounted horizontally on the mast.
The leg-of-mutton uses a spar mounted high instead of a boom.
This gives the helmsman more visibility and there is no boom 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.
