The station, situated south-east of Carlisle, serves the village of Garsdale and town of Sedbergh in Cumbria, and the market town of Hawes in North Yorkshire. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains. History The station was designed by the Midland Railway's company architect John Holloway Sanders, though not in the same style as used elsewhere on the route. It opened on 1 August 1876 as ''Hawes Junction''. Adjoining the station are sixteen railway cottages, which were built for its employees by the Midland Railway around 1876, the year the Settle-Carlisle Line opened. A further six cottages were added near to the Moorcock Inn, Hawes, Moorcock Inn soon afterwards. In the days of steam-hauled London-Scotland expresses, the locality once boasted the highest track pan, water troug ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ground Sample Distance
In remote sensing, ground sample distance (GSD) in a digital photo of the ground from air or space is the distance between pixel centers measured on the ground. For example, in an image with a one-meter GSD, adjacent pixels image locations are 1 meter apart on the ground. GSD is a measure of one limitation to spatial resolution or image resolution Image resolution is the level of detail of an image. The term applies to digital images, film images, and other types of images. "Higher resolution" means more image detail. Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution quantifies ..., that is, the limitation due to sampling. GSD is also referred to as ground-projected sample interval (GSI) and is related to the ground-projected instantaneous field of view (GIFOV).{{cite book , title = Encyclopedia of Optical Engineering , author = Ronald G.

Government Shutdown
A government shutdown occurs when the legislative branch does not pass key bills which fund or authorize the operations of the executive branch, resulting in the cessation of some or all operations of a government. Government shutdowns in the United States have occurred periodically since 1980, and are the result of failure to pass appropriations bills before the previous ones expire. Shutdowns of the type experienced by the United States are nearly impossible in other forms of government. The most recent shutdown happened in December 2018. * Under the parliamentary systems used in most European nations, stalemates within the government are less likely, but the executive must maintain the approval of the legislature to remain in power (confidence and supply), and typically an election is triggered if a budget fails to pass ( loss of supply). * In other presidential systems, the executive branch typically has the authority to keep the government functioning even without an app ...

Predetermined Motion Time System
A predetermined motion time system (PMTS) is frequently used to perform labor minute costing in order to set piece-rates, wage-rates or incentives in labor oriented industries by quantifying the amount of time required to perform specific tasks under defined conditions. Today the PMTS is mainly used in work measurement for shorter cycles in labour oriented industries such as apparel and footwear. This topic comes under wider industrial and production engineering. One of such a system is known as "work factor" and more popular methods-time measurement (MTM), released in 1948 exist today in several variations and used in some commercial applications. New legislation in developed markets following sustainability issues, Living Wage movement and the 2013 disaster in Rana Plaza, Bangladesh have brought labor costing and standards back to the focus of activists and global fashion retailers.

Go Skateboarding Day
Go Skateboarding Day (GSD) is an event created by Don Brown, formerly IASC Marketing Director and co-created with Per Welinder who wanted a day for the global skate community to all ride together and elevate the energy of skateboarding around the world. International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC). History Go Skateboarding Day was created in 2003 by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to help make skateboarding more accessible through events held in major cities around the world. The first event events happened in 2004 where the skate industry got their local communities together to skate BBQ and have fun. Etnies, èS, Emerica, Vans, Birdhouse, and many others all gathered at the etnies skate park in Lake Forest, CA.

Gender And Sexual Diversity
Sexual diversity or gender and sexual diversity (GSD), refers to all the diversities of sex characteristics, sexual orientations and gender identities, without the need to specify each of the identities, behaviors, or characteristics that form this plurality. Overview In the Western world, generally simple classifications are used to describe sexual orientation ( heterosexuals, homosexuals and bisexuals), gender identity ( transgender and cisgender), and related minorities ( intersex), gathered under the acronyms LGBTQ or LGBTQIA+ ( lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, transgender/ transsexual people, and sometimes intersex people); however, other cultures have other ways of understanding the sex and gender systems. Over the last few decades, some sexology theories have emerged, such as Kinsey theory and queer theory, proposing that this classification is not enough to describe the sexual complexity in human beings and, even, in other animal species. For example, so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Graphical System Design
Graphical system design (GSD) is a modern approach to designing measurement and control systems that integrates system design software with COTS hardware to dramatically simplify development. This approach combines user interfaces, models of computation, math and analysis, Input/output signals, technology abstractions, and various deployment target. It allows domain experts, or non- implementation experts, to access to design capabilities where they would traditionally need to outsource a system design expert. This approach to system design is a super-set of electronic system-level (ESL) design. Graphical system design expands on the EDA-based ESL definition to include other types of embedded system design including industrial machines and medical devices. Many of these expanded applications can be defined as "the long tail" applications. System-level design Graphical system design is an approach to designing an entire system, using more intuitive graphical software and off-the- ...
