Drill
A drill is a tool used for making round holes or driving fasteners. It is fitted with a drill bit for making holes, or a screwdriver bit for securing fasteners. Historically, they were powered by hand, and later mains power, but cordless battery-powered drills are proliferating due to increased efficiency and ease of use. Drills are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, construction, machine tool fabrication, and utility projects. Specially designed versions are made for surgery, dentistry, miniatures, and other applications. History Around 35,000 BC, ''Homo sapiens'' discovered the benefits of the application of rotary tools. This would have rudimentarily consisted of a pointed rock being spun between the hands to bore a hole through another material. This led to the hand drill, a smooth stick, that was sometimes attached to flint point, and was rubbed between the palms. This was used by many ancient civilizations around the world including the Mayans. The ear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Drill (album)
''The Drill'' is the eighth studio album by the British post-punk group Wire, released in April 1991 by Mute Records. The album comprises rerecorded and remixed versions of the same song, "Drill", with some versions featuring new lyrics. It is officially listed as an EP rather than an album despite its length of almost one hour. Background The track "Drill" first appeared on 1986's '' Snakedrill'' EP, but Wire soon began to develop its arrangement in live performances, sometimes with a duration lasting up to 30 minutes. In 1989, the group decided to continue developing the track, only this time in the studio. Different renditions of the song were recorded by the group at Mute Records' London in‑house studio, Worldwide International, as an experiment intended to explore the new computer technology to be employed on their next album, 1990's '' Manscape''. Although ''The Drill'' was actually recorded before ''Manscape'', its release was postponed until 1991. This was, according to ...

Dan Drill
The 2014 University of Minnesota rape case was widely publicized by the American media as it highlighted the inadequacies of police responses to victims of sexual assault. The victim in the case, 19-year-old Abby Honold, afterwards sought to establish federal funding for appropriate training of officials and first responders. A bill known as the Abby Honold Bill was first introduced to Congress by Senator Amy Klobuchar in 2017. It was enacted into law on March 15, 2022, as part of a $1.5 trillion budget bill. The law gives law enforcement agencies access to federal grants and enacts a two-year test program to train police on how to conduct investigations without exposing victims to further trauma. History The case was a highly mediatized case involving Daniel "Dan" York Drill-Mellum, a student at the University of Minnesota and fraternity member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Drill-Mellum violently raped 19-year-old Abby Honold twice at his apartment in November 2014 after luring her fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Apache Drill
Apache Drill is an open-source software framework that supports data-intensive distributed applications for interactive analysis of large-scale datasets. Built chiefly by contributions from developers from MapR, Drill is inspired by Google's Dremel system. Drill is an Apache top-level project. Drill supports a variety of NoSQL databases and file systems, including Alluxio, HBase, MongoDB, MapR-DB, HDFS, MapR-FS, Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Swift, NAS and local files. A single query can join data from multiple datastores. Drill's datastore-aware optimizer automatically restructures a query plan to leverage the datastore's internal processing capabilities. In addition, Drill supports data locality, if Drill and the datastore are on the same nodes. Tom Shiran is the founder of the Apache Drill Project. It was designated an Apache Software Foundation top-level project in December 2016. Features One explicitly stated design goal is that Drill is ab ...

Data Drilling
Data drilling (also drilldown) refers to any of various operations and transformations on tabular, relational, and multidimensional data. The term has widespread use in various contexts, but is primarily associated with specialized software designed specifically for data analysis. Common data drilling operations There are certain operations that are common to applications that allow data drilling. Among them are: Query operations: * tabular query * pivot query Tabular query Tabular query operations consist of standard operations on data tables. Among these operations are: * search * sort * filter (by value) * filter (by extended function or condition) * transform (e.g., by adding or removing columns) Consider the following example: Fred and Wilma table (Fig 001): gender, fname, lname, home male, fred, chopin, Poland male, fred, flintstone, bedrock male, fred, durst, usa female, wilma, flintstone, bedrock female, wilma, rudolph, usa female, wil ...

Drill (fabric)
Drill is stout, durable cotton fabric with a strong bias (diagonal) in the weaving, weave. It can be used unbleached, although it is more often Bleach (chemical), bleached or dyed. Use in clothing Light weight drill is used in clothing items such as shirts, safari jackets, blouses, and some types of sportswear (activewear), sports clothing. The heavier weights were often used in corsets, and are commonly used in work clothing and uniforms. The most common use of drill in uniforms and casual wear is in the form of khaki drill. Learning from this practice, British troops took to dyeing their white drill uniforms to obtain more serviceable campaign clothing; this practice became widespread during the crisis of the Indian Mutiny. Initially, improvised dyes produced clothing that ranged in shade from lavender grey to earth brown, although all were referred to as "khaki". In the mid-1880s, standardised cotton drill uniforms were produced using a colourfast mineral dye of the shade n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Drill (agriculture)
Filling a feed-box of a seed drill, Lincoln University (New Zealand), Canterbury Agricultural College farm, 1948 A seed drill is a device used in agriculture that sows seeds for crops by positioning them in the soil and burying them to a specific depth while being dragged by a tractor. This ensures that seeds will be distributed evenly. The seed drill sows the seeds at the proper seeding rate and depth, ensuring that the seeds are covered by soil. This saves them from being eaten by birds and animals, or being dried up due to exposure to the sun. With seed drill machines, seeds are distributed in rows; this allows plants to get sufficient sunlight and nutrients from the soil. Before the introduction of the seed drill, most seeds were planted by hand broadcasting, an imprecise and wasteful process with a poor distribution of seeds and low productivity. The use of a seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield (seeds harvested per seed planted) by as much as eight times while a ...

Bow Drill
A bow drill is a simple hand-operated type of tool, consisting of a rod (the ''spindle'' or ''drill shaft'') that is set in rapid rotary motion by means of a cord wrapped around it, kept taut by a bow and arrow, bow which is pushed back and forth with one hand. This tool of prehistoric origin has been used both as a drill, to make holes on solid materials such as wood, stone, bone, or teeth, and as a fire drill (tool), fire drill to Fire making#Friction, start a fire. The spindle can be held into a fixed frame, or by a hand-held block (the ''hand piece'' or ''thimble'') with a hole into which the top of the shaft is inserted. Some lubricant should be used to reduce friction between these two parts, otherwise, it could lead to some trouble when doing it too fast. A popular campcraft book of 1920 attributed this invention to the Inuit. In Mehrgarh (Pakistan) it has been dated between the 4th-5th millennium BCE. The string of the bow is wrapped once around the spindle, so that it i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lockdown
A lockdown () is a restriction policy for people, community or a country to stay where they are, usually due to specific risks that could possibly harm the people if they move and interact freely. The term is used for a prison protocol that usually prevents people, information or objects from leaving an area. The protocol can usually only be initiated by someone in a position of authority. A lockdown can also be used to protect people inside a facility or, for example, a computing system, from a threat or other external event. In buildings doors leading outside are usually locked so that no person may enter or exit. Types Lockdowns may be adopted as a preventative measure or in response to a crisis as an emergency measure.

Tornado Drill
The term "tornado preparedness" refers to safety precautions made before the arrival of and during a tornado. Historically, the steps taken have varied greatly, depending on location, or time remaining before a tornado was expected. For example, in rural areas, people might prepare to enter an external storm cellar, in case the main building collapses, and thereby allow exit without needing rescue from the main building as in urban areas. Because tropical storms have spawned many tornadoes, hurricane preparations also involve tornadoes. The term "tornado preparedness" has been used by government agencies, emergency response groups, schools, insurance companies, and others. Understanding the dangers Preparedness involves knowing the major dangers to avoid. Some tornadoes are the most violent storms in nature. "Tornado", FEMA.gov, August 2010, web: FEMA-tornado. Tornadoes have varied in strength, and some tornadoes have been mostly invisible due to a lack of loose dirt or de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
