Resolute, Nunavut
Resolute or Resolute Bay ( iu, ᖃᐅᓱᐃᑦᑐᖅ, translit=Qausuittuq, lit=place with no dawn, italic=no) is an Inuit hamlet on Cornwallis Island in Nunavut, Canada. It is situated at the northern end of Resolute Bay and the Northwest Passage and is part of the Qikiqtaaluk Region. Resolute is one of Canada's northernmost communities and is second only to Grise Fiord on Ellesmere Island ( Alert and Eureka are more northerly but are not considered towns; rather, military outposts and weather stations). It is also one of the coldest inhabited places in the world, with an average yearly temperature of . As in most other northern communities, the roads and most of the terrain are all gravel. It is also the closest transit location to Devon Island, the largest uninhabited island in the world, and by extension, the most well-preserved crater on Earth - the Haughton impact crater, that formed about 31 million years ago. Demographics In the 2021 Canadian census conducted ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Resolute (schooner)
SV ''Resolute'' was a Colombian schooner that the German submarine U-172 shelled and sank on 23 June 1942 in the Caribbean Sea. Construction ''Resolute'' was built as a schooner at an unknown date. Her size and speed are also unknown. She was assessed at . Sinking ''Resolute'' was stopped by the German submarine U-172 at 17:10 pm on 23 June 1942 in the Caribbean Sea The Caribbean Sea ( es, Mar Caribe; french: Mer des Caraïbes; ht, Lanmè Karayib; jam, Kiaribiyan Sii; nl, Caraïbische Zee; pap, Laman Karibe) is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean in the tropics of the Western Hemisphere. It is bounded by Mexico ... near Saint Andrews and Old Providence. Afterwards the U-boat sank the abandoned vessel with hand grenades and gunfire from her deck gun. The attack and sinking of the ''Resolute'' still claimed the lives six of her ten crew members; the four survivors later claimed that they were machine-gunned after having abandoned the ship, but this was apparently a misinterpr ...

Resolute Desk
The ''Resolute'' desk, also known as the Hayes desk, is a nineteenth-century partners desk used by several presidents of the United States in the White House as the Oval Office desk, including the five most recent presidents. The desk was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880 and was built from the oak timbers of the British Arctic exploration ship . The desk was created by William Evenden, a skilled joiner at Chatham Dockyard in Kent, probably from a design by Morant, Boyd, & Blanford. HMS ''Resolute'' was abandoned in the Arctic waterway Tariyunnuaq in 1854 while searching for Sir John Franklin and his lost expedition. It was found in 1855 floating in Davis Strait by ''George Henry'', an American whaling ship. ''Resolute'' was repaired and returned to the United Kingdom as a gesture of goodwill from the United States. The ship was decommissioned in 1879, broken up, and a competition was held to design and build a piece of furniture from its ti ...

Vector Resolute
The vector projection of a vector on (or onto) a nonzero vector , sometimes denoted \operatorname_\mathbf \mathbf (also known as the vector component or vector resolution of in the direction of ), is the orthogonal projection of onto a straight line parallel to . It is a vector parallel to , defined as: \mathbf_1 = a_1\mathbf where a_1 is a scalar, called the scalar projection of onto , and is the unit vector in the direction of . In turn, the scalar projection is defined as: a_1 = \left\, \mathbf\right\, \cos\theta = \mathbf\cdot\mathbf where the operator ⋅ denotes a dot product, ‖a‖ is the length of , and ''θ'' is the angle between and . Which finally gives: \mathbf_1 = \left(\mathbf \cdot \mathbf\right) \mathbf = \frac \frac = \frac = \frac ~ . The scalar projection is equal to the length of the vector projection, with a minus sign if the direction of the projection is opposite to the direction of .

L Class Blimp
The L-class blimps were training airships operated by the United States Navy during World War II. In the mid-1930s, the Goodyear Aircraft Company built a family of small non-rigid airships that the company used for advertising the Goodyear name. In 1937 the United States Navy awarded a contract for two different airships, K-class blimp designated K-2 and a smaller blimp based upon Goodyear's smaller commercial model airship used for advertising and passenger carrying. The smaller blimp was designated by the Navy as L-1. It was delivered in April 1938 and operated from the Navy's lighter-than-air facility at Lakehurst, New Jersey. In the meantime, the Navy ordered two more L-Class blimps, the L-2 and L-3, on September 25, 1940. These were delivered in 1941. L-2 was lost in a nighttime mid-air collision with the G-1 on June 8, 1942. When the United States entered World War II, the Navy took over the operation of Goodyear's five commercial blimps. These were the ''Resolute'', ''En ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Design ''Resolute'' was the last Cup defender to be designed by Herreshoff. *Overhang forward - *Overhang aft - *Fore triangle base - *Boom - *Deck to topmast - *Lead - 65tons History ''Resolute'' was christened by Grace Vanderbilt and launched on April 25, 1914. In the 1914 America's Cup defender selection trials, skippered by Charles Francis Adams III, she beat ''Vanitie'' and '' Defiance''. In so doing, she beat the America's Cup course record off Sandy Hook by sailing 30 miles in 3:16:41. However, the outbreak of World War I caused the America's Cup races for 1914 to be postponed. The race was finally held during the 1920 America's Cup.
