For example:Ī short length of pipe having an MIP thread at both ends is sometimes called a nipple. In plumbing fittings, the "M" or "F" usually comes at the beginning rather than the end of the abbreviated designation. Main article: Threaded pipe Left: A male threaded pipe, Kapla or KEVA planks are extremely simple genderless systems interconnected only by gravity. Lincoln logs use a very simple form of genderless connections. Stickle bricks, using interlocking plastic protrusions, are effectively genderless. Meccano and Erector have many gendered connections, starting with the nut-and-bolt fasteners they use frequently. įor example, the canonical LEGO plastic blocks have "female" indentations on the lower surface, and "male" bosses or protrusions on the upper surfaces. Mathematicians have begun to classify well-known construction sets using group theory to study the combinatoric possibilities of structures that can be built. This should not be surprising, since these toys feature the nearly infinite flexibility and versatility of shape that a modular interconnect architecture can enable. Modular construction toys Lego toy brick connections are male on top, and female underneathĪlthough this aspect is not highlighted in their promotional literature, several common construction toys embody gendered (and in some cases, genderless) mechanical interconnections. Mechanical fasteners Female nut threaded onto a male bolt If the furrowed surface be convex, 'tis called a Male Screw if concave, a Female and where Motion is to be generated, the Male and Female are always join'd.

Hands sore from typing1/22/2024 For me, typing at any angle meant I unnecessarily pressured my joints. My laptop’s keyboard had me curve my wrists at about a 45-degree angle to reach all the keys, and studies have shown that typing at angles may lead to long-term damage. My keyboard needed to change if I didn’t want my career to change. I loved my laptop for its portability, but the long hours typing on its flat keyboard left me struggling to finish writing projects without intense pain.

Olympus xz 2 sensor size1/22/2024 I certainly did not perceive any bias towards Olympus via that comment. We'll look to publish a samples gallery from the camera as soon as production versions become available. Only the omission of Super Control panel (one of our favorite interfaces, and one made better when combined with a touch-screen and lens dial), spoils our initial impression of the Stylus XZ-10. Alternatively, pressing 'OK' creates a finished image.Īs befits its position in the lineup, the XZ-10 appears to balance point-and-shoot features with some more enthusiast-friendly tweakability. If you're not happy with your selection, tapping on either panel of the image gives you a chance to re-shoot that section. Like Art Filters, there are plenty of options and, while the mode won't be for everyone, the system seems well worked-out with touch-screen operation making it easy to replace one of the already captured images and replace it, simply by tapping one of the shots at any point before you save the final composite image. There are a number of different framing styles and sub-modes available, such as five vertical stripes made up of consecutive high-speed images, or a faux-Poloroid image set into the main image. The XZ-10 becomes the first Olympus to feature 'Photo Story' a mode that creates composite images from two or three photos taken together. just like the camera's Art Filters there are several options that can be applied with each style. Photo Story lets you create composite images from multiple shots. Unlike the XZ-1, the little XZ-10 allows control over the noise reduction level being applied to JPEGs. The two dials can be reconfigured, with different settings selected for each shooting mode.ĭespite being the junior XZ model, the XZ-10 retains most of the customization of the XZ-2, with everything from dial setup (function and direction) to display options being configured via the usual length setup menu. It also has a Fn button, which cycles through any of the 16 settings you've enabled in the menu. As with that model, the XZ-10 includes two control dials (one around the lens, the other being the rear four-way controller) and a touch-screen interface that can be used as much or as little as you like. And, helped by the smaller sensor, the XZ-10 is a small cameras - it's much more pocketable than its bigger brother, the XZ-2. Handling the XZ-10 is a nice experience - it has a nice weight to it and feels solidly built, and the rubber grip down the front of the camera makes it comfortable and secure to hold without adding unduly to its bulk. With the lens retracted, the XZ-10 is pretty pocketable A built-in ND filter allows you to continue to use those brighter apertures in bright conditions, too. That lens won't offer a tremendous amount of depth-of-field control (it'd be the same as a 26-130mm F10-15 lens on a full frame camera), but does mean the XZ-10 can keep to lower ISOs than its small sensor peers can in the same lighting conditions. The XZ-10 becomes one of the few 1/2.3" sensor cameras to feature a lens control ring (we can only think of the Casio EX-ZR1000). It's also in fairly select company in that it offers the ability to shoot Raw. Crucially it also has a more consistently fast lens than any of the cameras it competes with - F1.8-2.7 across its 26-130mm equivalent range. In this respect its closest rival is a camera like Nikon's P310 but the XZ-10 has a solidity of build and a level of direct control that the Nikon doesn't. The XZ-10 sits in the company's lineup below the XZ-2 and, unlike its larger brother, has a 1/2.3" sensor - the standard size used in the majority of compacts. At CP+ we were able to get our hands on a pre-production version of one of Olympus' more interesting recent offerings - the Stylus XZ-10. Flair bartender gif1/22/2024 She now co-owns her very own bar, Tayēr + Elementary, in London. Bypassing legal drinking limits in her native Norway by moving to Greece at age 20, she already knew her way around a cocktail shaker by the time she returned to her country aged 21. The first woman to receive the Altos Bartenders’ Bartending Award in 2019, Monica was always born to mix cocktails. A driving force in mixology, Audrey, and her bar, have won numerous awards over the years. Now a shining star in her own right, she opened the famous Pegu Club in New York, where she was able to hone her craft and prove her credentials. This renowned mixologist trained under Dale DeGroff – universally recognized as the world’s best bartender. Considered to be a real trailblazer of her time, her name can now be found on the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of fame. She worked throughout Kentucky, where women had only just been allowed to start drinking in bars and so there was still a huge stigma attached to it. Joy Perrine 1946 -2019Įven today, Bourbon is often seen as a ‘man’s drink’, so you can imagine the uproar caused by a female bartender specializing in bourbon cocktails back in the 1970s. She was no stranger to serving celebrities, mixing drinks with absolute professionalism for Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich and even the Prince of Wales. We know, boys are great too, but this blog is all about the girls! Ada Coleman 1875 – 1966Ī true icon of the bartending world, Ada was head bartender at the Savoy for twenty-three years! Receiving her important promotion behind the bar of one of the most famous hotels in the world in 1903, she is perhaps most well-known for the Hanky Panky, the cocktail she created for comedian Charles Hawtrey. With International Women’s Day falling on the 8 th of March, we felt it was only right to celebrate some of the very best female bartenders that have graced our cocktails bars over the years. March is a month dedicated to the ladies of the world. Tags: best female bartenders of all time, international womans day.
