Limb (anatomy)
A limb (from Old English ''lim'', meaning "body part") is a jointed, muscled appendage of a tetrapod vertebrate animal used for weight-bearing, terrestrial locomotion and physical interaction with other objects. The distalmost portion of a limb is known as its extremity. The limbs' bony endoskeleton, known as the appendicular skeleton, is homologous among all tetrapods, who use their limbs for walking, running and jumping, swimming, climbing, grasping, touching and striking. All tetrapods have four limbs that are organized into two bilaterally symmetrical pairs, with one pair at each end of the torso, which phylogenetically correspond to the four paired fins ( pectoral and pelvic fins) of their fish ( sarcopterygian) ancestors. The cranial pair (i.e. closer to the head) of limbs are known as the forelimbs or ''front legs'', and the caudal pair (i.e. closer to the tail or coccyx) are the hindlimbs or ''back legs''. In animals with a more erect bipedal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Limbu Script
The Limbu script (also Sirijanga script) is used to write the Limbu language. It is a Brahmic type abugida. History The Limbu script was invented in the 18th century by Limbu monk and scholar Te-ongsi Sirijunga Xin Thebe, in order to give the Limbu a distinct medium to commit their oral tradition to writing. He claimed that the script was used in late first millennium and that he had only rediscovered it, but no text from before the 18th century has been discovered. It was likely invented as an act of defiance. Accounts with Sirijunga The Limbu language is one of the few Sino-Tibetan languages of the Central Himalayas to possess their own scripts. The Limbu or Sirijunga script was devised during the period of Buddhist expansion in Sikkim in the early 18th century when Limbuwan still constituted part of Sikkimese territory. The Limbu script was probably composed at roughly the same time as the Lepcha script which was created by the third King of Sikkim, Chakdor Namgyal (c ...

Bresso Airfield
Bresso Airfield (, ), also known as Aeroporto Giampiero Clerici, is an aerodrome in Bresso, in the Milan metropolitan area. Originally built in 1912, the field served as a ''factory airfield'' until the nearby Breda factory expanded its production to military aircraft for World War I. From 1931 to 1933 it housed the Regia Aeronautica's Terzo Stormo. On April 30, 1944, the Breda factory and the airfield were heavily bombed by 53 American Boeing B-17. Seven aircraft and a few hangars went completely destroyed. At the end of World War II the airport was mostly used as a military flying training camp and to field fighter aircraft as part of the defence system of the city. In 1960, it became the permanent site of the '' Aero Club Milano''. Since then the airport mostly serves as a general aviation airfield for flying club activity, touristic flights and air taxi. It also hosts a base of the state helicopter emergency service ''Elisoccorso''. On June 3, 2012, on the occasion of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Recurve Bow
In archery, a recurve bow is one of the main Bow shape, shapes a bow (weapon), bow can take, with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung. A recurve bow stores more energy and delivers energy more efficiently than the equivalent straight-limbed bow, giving a greater amount of energy and speed to the arrow. A recurve will permit a shorter bow than the simple straight limb bow for a given arrow energy, and this form was often preferred by archers in environments where long weapons could be cumbersome, such as in brush and forest terrain, or while horse archer, on horseback. Recurved limbs also put greater stress on the materials used to make the bow, and they may make more noise with the shot. Extreme recurves make the bow unstable when being strung. An unstrung recurve bow can have a confusing shape and many Native Americans in the United States, Native American weapons, when separated from their original owners and cultures, were incorrectly strung backwards and destro ...

Limb Brook
The Limb Brook is a stream in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It rises at the village of Ringinglow, flowing east through Whirlow and Ecclesall Woods into Abbeydale in the Beauchief area, where it merges with the River Sheaf. Near this point part of the stream has been diverted to provide the goit for the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet millpond, and this channel flows through what is now Beauchief Gardens. History On nearby Fulwood Lane a polished Neolithic stone axehead was found in 1952 indicating ancient human activity in the area. An interim report by University of Sheffield staff on excavations of a linear feature at Sheephill Farm, close to the brook has suggested evidence of the route of the lost Roman Road linking Templeborough with the Roman Signal Station at Navio and Batham Gate. The feature, which extends through Barber Fields is 20m wide and filled to a depth of 5m with rubble and has a metalled surface. The route of the Roman Road would have passed close t ...
