|  |  |  | CAM: Encyclopedia II - Climbing equipment - AscendersAscenders are mechanical devices for ascending on a rope. They are also called Jumars, after a popular brand.
Jumars perform the same functionality as prusik knots but are stronger, faster, safer and less effort is needed to use them. A Jumar employs a cam which allows the device to slide freely in one direction (usually the intended direction of movement) but tightly grip the rope when pulled on in the opposite direction. To prevent a jumar from accidentally coming off the rope, a locking mechanism or trigger is deployed. The Jumar i ...

Portuguese literature - Poetry.
The early nineteenth century witnessed a literary reformation which was commenced by Almeida Garrett who had become acquainted with the English and French Romanticism in exile and based his work on the national traditions. In the narrative poem "Camões" (1825) he broke with the established rules of composition and followed it with "Flores sem Fructo" and a collection of ardent love poems "Folhas Cahidas", while the clear elegant prose of this true artist is seen in a miscellany of ...

|  |  |  | CAM: Encyclopedia II - Joel and Ethan Coen - Stylistic devicesOwing a heavy debt to film noir and other film styles of the past, the Coen brothers' films combine dry humor with sharp irony and shocking visuals, most often in moving camera shots. The Coens prefer not to put the opening credits at the very beginning of the film.
Joel and Ethan Coen - Dialogue.
In all of the Coens' films, the most important element is dialogue. The films typically feature a combination of dry wit, exaggerated language, and glaring irony. The brothers frequently use dialogue to develop c ...

|  |  |  | CAM: Encyclopedia II - Joel and Ethan Coen - ViolenceThe majority of the Coens' films are extremely violent. In every one of their films there is at least one death and, in many cases, multiple deaths. In their lighter films, e.g., The Hudsucker Proxy, the plot is unleashed by the suicide of Waring Hudsucker, or in The Ladykillers all of the main characters die in an attempt to dispose of a body. In some of their more graphic films, e.g., Fargo, most of the main characters die or are assaulted, all of which is portrayed onscreen; in one particularly graphic scene a ...

The Coen brothers storyboard their films completely before filming (unlike most directors, who only storyboard complex shots such as action sequences). They state that it helps them get the budget they want as they can show where most of the money will be going.

Climbing ropes typically consist of a core of long twisted fibres and an outer sheath of woven coloured fibres (referred to as kernmantle construction). The core provides most of the tensile strength, while the sheath is a durable layer that protects the core and give the rope desirable handling characteristics. The ropes used for climbing can be divided into two classes: dynamic ropes and static ropes. Dynamic ropes have a certain amount of elasticity and are usually used as belay ropes. The elasticity ...

Carabiners are metal loops with spring-loaded gates, used as connectors. For recreational climbing, almost all carabiners are made from aluminium.
Carabiners exist in various forms; the shape of the carabiner and the type of gate needs to be selected according to the exact use for which it is intended.
Carabiners are also known by many slang names including biner
Quickdraws are used by climbers to attach ropes to bolt anchors or chocks. They allow the rope to run-through with minimal friction. Quickdraws consist of two snapgate carabiners ...

Portuguese literature - Verse.
It has been argued (by great early scholars such as Henry Roseman Lang and Carolina Michaelis) that an indigenous popular poetry existed before the beginning of the written record, although the first datable poems (a handful between around 1200 and 1225) show influences from Provence. These poems were composed in a language called Galician-Portuguese (or Galego-Portuguese), the common ancestor of modern Galician and Portuguese. The first known venues of poetic activity were aristocr ...

A new epoch in literature dates from the Revolution of 1383-1385. King John I wrote a book of the chase, his sons, King Duarte and D. Pedro, composed moral treatises, and an anonymous scribe told with charming naïveté the story of the heroic Nuno Alvares Pereira in the Chronica do Condestavel.

Portuguese pastoral poetry is more natural and sincere than that of the other nations because Ribeiro, the founder of the bucolic school, sought inspiration in the national serranilhas, but his eclogues, despite their feeling and rhythmic harmony, are surpassed by the "Crisfal" of Christovão Falcão. These and the eclogues and sententious "Cartas" of Sá de Miranda are written in versos de arte mayor, and the popular medida velha (as the national metre was a ...
