This document describes a British patent from 1957 for an improved device for measuring distances along lines on maps. The device uses a plurality of rotatably enclosed drums connected end-to-end in a rigid housing. One end of the housing has a map-engaging wheel geared to the adjacent drum. Adjacent drums are interconnected with lost-motion couplings so that the second drum of a pair only rotates after the first drum reaches a predetermined angle of rotation. Each drum has calibration or scale markings that register with a window or slit in the housing. The drums preferably carry decimal scale numerals that successively register with the window to directly indicate long distances.
This document contains summaries of multiple photographs by different photographers:
- The first summary describes an Ian Allen portrait of Patrick Peterson that uses lighting to portray him as powerful and important, with a black background making him the central focus.
- The second summarizes an Ed Thompson landscape photo from Pluckley, Kent, known as one of the most haunted places in England, where unusual colors are used to portray it as not normal.
- The third discusses a Neil Leifer black and white portrait of Kobe Bryant announcing his retirement, using lighting and positioning to convey mixed emotions of sadness and motivation.
La nana o canción de cuna generalmente consiste en una estrofa corta de cuatro versos que se repite, con melodías amorosas. Algunas nanas usan temas de miedo para arrullar al niño a dormir, mientras que otras describen al niño acunado y protegido por la luna y el sol.

A computer processes data into useful information through programmed instructions. It consists of hardware components like the CPU, keyboard, and printer, as well as software like operating systems, utility programs, and applications. The hardware is the tangible equipment, while software provides instructions to the hardware. System software controls computer operations and interfaces with hardware, while application software performs specific tasks for users. People also interact with computers as users and personnel with roles like students, technicians and teachers.

El lobo se encuentra pasando hambre en el bosque cuando se encuentra con un perro guardián gordo y feliz de un pueblo. El perro le dice al lobo que si va con él lo llevará a un lugar donde pueda estar, pero cuando dejan el bosque el lobo ve que el perro tiene una marca en el cuello de una cadena. El lobo se da cuenta entonces que el perro vive atado con una cadena y prefiere quedarse en el bosque antes que perder su libertad.
