...are poorly made. Young Mr. Jukes, MacWhirr’s first mate, full of himself, curious about others, always rushing off to meet trouble before it comes, is satiric concerning MacWhirr’s limitations, especially his literal-mindedness, his inability to communicate with others in ordinary terms, and his taciturnity. For his part, MacWhirr is amazed at Jukes’s capacity for small talk and his use of metaphorical language, for MacWhirr himself notes only the facts by which he lives. However, he is astute enough to respect in others the ability to perform their tasks ably. Having just enough imagination to carry him through each day, tranquilly certain of his competence—although it has never been fully tested—MacWhirr communicates the essential details of his voyages to his wife and children in monthly letters that they read perfunctorily. These same letters are furtively and eagerly read by the steward, who, somehow, appreciates the truths that they distill. A minor contretemps between Jukes and the captain occurs early in the narrative when, Jukes believes, MacWhirr fails to understand the implications of the Nan-Shan’s transfer from its original British to a Siamese registry. MacWhirr reads Jukes’s displeasure at the change as a literal...

...Level of Development and Level of Detail came into play with the advancement of computers and BIM technology. As the AEC industry began move towards using computer renditions for design and analysis, it became necessary to define the certainty with which drawings could be trusted. The detailing of elements changes throughout the duration of a project, so it is important for the team to be able to recognize what level of detail is provided and how trustworthy it is. For this reason, different levels of development were created to allow for a standardized system of analyzing drawings and details. Level of Development vs. Level of Detail The level of Development (LOD) enables construction teams to specify and distinguish the content and reliability of Building Information Models at various stages of the design and construction process with high levels of clarity and reliability. The LOD describes the minimum dimensional, spatial, quantitative, and qualitative data included in a Model Element to support the authorized uses associated with such LOD. Since each Model Element develops at a different rate, the Level of Development (LOD) framework allows the project team to understand the progression of a Model Element from conceptual idea to precise final definition and description. The LOD of a given Model Element informs other Project Participants how developed the information is expected to be. This allows participants to extent to decipher which that information can be relied...

...team is what it is titled as. I like this blog because that is my ultimate goal and the career that I want to do after I have graduated from NOVA. I also have competed in the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) last year and want to again this coming year. Just thought this blog was helpful in getting some tips and maybe using it in the competition. The first part of the blog talks about capture the flag, which I am not really good at and need to practice that if I only want to get better at it. From my understanding of what capture the flag is gathering information or finding out what certain data is from a piece of information given to you. I think capture the flag is a great way of increasing your skills as an IT professional. Learning how to capture the flag can be somewhat difficult if you are trying to do it on your own. My suggestion would be to get with someone who is fairly good at it and work with that individual and get better at it. Also in a competition environment like the CCDC I would only have the strong individual working on capture the flag and get all of those knocked out real fast so you can get your points. The blog also talks about before you begin the competition and kind of list some guidelines to follow. I think that they are very helpful what was put out. It was things from who is going to be the team organizer, who is good at what operating systems, who are the strong players and weak players on the team, what are the rules of the competition...

..."Each sound whetted his rage into something so lethal Lorcan could barely see straight." (Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas, 471). Originates from Old English hwetten meaning "to sharpen" or figuratively meaning "incite, encourage", and the German wetzen meaning "to sharpen" The enticing aroma of apple pie whetted my appetite. Flagging – verb. to begin to lack energy, interest or vigor. "By the end of the third day, she was flagging, so thirsty that no amount of water was able to slake it, her lips chapped and peeling." (Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas, 479). Originate from the mid 16th century English flag meaning meaning "to flap about loosely, to hang down". This was thought to be a later variant of the Middle English flakken or flacken "to flap or flutter" from the late 14th century. After long hours of going over the same material, my patience for studying began to flag. Slake – verb. To satisfy or make less intense. "By the end of the third day, she was flagging, so thirsty that no amount of water was able to slake it, her lips chapped and peeling." (Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas, 479). Originates from Old English sleacian, slacion meaning "to become slack or remiss, slacken an effort" also "delay or retard". This word originated from slæc meaning "lax" No amount of chocolate could slake the cravings of her sweet tongue. Brine – noun. Water filled with salt "He'd been scenting brine for two days now—they had to be close to the edge of the marshes." (Throne of...

...had already begun. To my surprise, there were only 8 people in the courtroom, including me. They were judge, attorneys of plaintiff and defendant, assistant of an attorney, stenographer, plaintiff and defendant. It was really different from the courtroom that I saw in the movie. Also, there was no jury in this trial. The courtroom was not really large that I thought, but was extremely quiet. Everyone in the courtroom paid attention to his/her job seriously. When the plaintiff was asking questions by his attorney, there was a time the judge reminded her that she had repeated the questions. During the question time, the attorney of defendant stood up several times to say “Objection” with his reasons. Sitting between the national flag and Ohio state flag, the judge listened to the attorneys seriously, but he interrupted sometimes. Out of my expectation, the attorney of defendant discussed with his assistant in secret while the plaintiff was asked questions by his attorney. In fact,...

...One Piece Chapter 1: Alex It was a harsh day for Alex Newgate, tears trickling down her cheeks as she walked to a place she never knew she would come to so fast. She stood in front of her now late father’s grave and offered white roses, trembling as she does so. It was the end of the Marineford war between the Whitebeard pirates and the government also known as the Marines. Many have fallen and only a few were left breathing, me being one of them cried once I saw my father covered in blood from the enemies and his own. All the pirates that have been left alive wept in tears too as they see their strong captain who treated them all like his children, down on the grass, lifeless. I looked around at the aftermath and saw another sad scene between brothers. Monkey D. Luffy, a high bounty pirate was crying while carrying the body of his weak brother. He even shouted out loudly that everyone can hear his pain. He then laid his brother’s body down on the side of a rock and looked down in pain and sorrow, considering that he was very close to him. “It was harsh, wasn’t it?” I asked Luffy with a gentle voice as I walked closer to the two. “Yeah…” He trailed of in a soft tone, not tearing his eyes away from the ground. “You know, I think ace won’t want to see you like this” I said mentioning his brother’s name as I sat down on the ground next to him, trying to hide my own tears. “I guess so, he never wants me to save him or else he’ll feel weak” he replied with a small chuckle...

(The lady didn't say how old her boys were.) WEDNESDAY BEVERYBODY HAS flags out. Homes, businesses. It's odd: You never see anybody putting out a flag, but by Wednesday morning there they all are. Big flags, small flags, regularflag-size flags. A lot of homeowners here have those special angled flagholders by their front door, the kind whose brace takes four Phillips screws. And thousands of those little hand-held flags-on-a-stick you normally sec at parades -- some yards have dozens all over as if they'd somehow sprouted overnight. Rural-road people attach the little flags to their mailboxes out by the street. Some cars have them wedged in their grille or duct-taped to the antenna. Some upscale people have actual poles; their flags are at half-mast. More than a few large homes around Franklin Park or out on the east side even have enormous multistory flags hanging gonfalon-style down over their facades. It's a total mystery where...
