A ship's or boat's anchor is used to attach the vessel to the bottom at a specific point. There are two primary classes of anchors—temporary and permanent. A permanent anchor is often called a mooring, and is rarely moved; it's quite possible the vessel cannot hoist it aboard but must hire a service to move or maintain it. A temporary anchor is usually carried by the vessel, and hoi ...

The range of designs is wide, but there are actually trends in designs for modern anchors which allow them to be classed as hook, plow, and fluke types, depending on the method by which they set. Hook designs use a relatively small fluke surface on a heavy, narrow arm to penetrate deeply into problematic bottoms such as rocky, heavy kelp or eel grass, coral, or hard sand. Two of the more common versions of this design are the fisherman and the grapnel. Plow designs are reminiscent ...

A wedge anchor is a type of fastener used to attach a fixture to a solid base material (such as concrete). The installed end of the anchor has a conical portion around which a metal clip is fastened. When the anchor is set (usually through application of a tension load through torqing a nut) the cone pulls up through the clip and expands the clip against the side walls of the hole. This gives the anchor its resistance to tension. An ...

The anchor escapement is a type of escapement, the mechanism in a clock that maintains the swinging of a pendulum for accurate timekeeping. It was first claimed to be invented by Robert Hooke, although some references credit William Clement, but Joseph knibb of Oxford has the best evidence in his favour. The anchor escapement appeared first in about 1671. This followed the invention of the pendulum in 1657. All mechanical clocks use an escapement, to control the motion of the hands around the dial. The rate at which the ...

Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak was a freedom fighter whose convictions stemmed from a deep and intricate understanding of Indian culture. He wrote a scholarly commentary on the Bhagavad Gita in his magnum opus, Gita-Rahasya and he lived its message in every sphere of his life.

As a child, Tilak was often told by some of his elders that the religious and philosophic life was incompatible with humdrum everyday existence. The only path to moksha or liberation, the highest attainable goal, was the renunciation of desires and material attachments, they said: "One could not serve two masters, the world and God."

The earliest anchors were probably rocks and many rock anchors have been found dating from at least the Bronze Age. Many modern moorings still rely on a large rock as the primary element of their design. It simply works. However, using pure mass to resist the forces of a storm only works well as a permanent mooring; trying to move a large enough rock to another bay is nearly impossible. A simple anchor using a pair of wood arms under a rock mass is a primitive anchor which is still in use today. The wood arms are pointed to penetrate ...

A fan of Anchor Steam Beer, Maytag bought the company in 1965 when he learned it was going out of business. To revive the company, he altered the recipe and the brewing process and the beer soon surged in popularity. The brewery moved to a new location in 1979, but throughout the coming years demand continued to climb. Not wanting to sacrifice the small size of the brewery, and in turn the quality of the beer, Maytag helped competitors become proficient in microbrewing. This helped to ease the strain on his own company. In its April 2005 article "26 Most Fascinating Entrepreneurs", Inc. Magazine ...
