Tortoise
Tortoises () are reptiles of the family Testudinidae of the order Testudines (Latin: ''tortoise''). Like other turtles, tortoises have a turtle shell, shell to protect from predation and other threats. The shell in tortoises is generally hard, and like other members of the suborder Cryptodira, they retract their necks and heads directly backward into the shell to protect them. Tortoises can vary in size with some species, such as the Galápagos tortoise, Galápagos giant tortoise, growing to more than in length, whereas others like the Chersobius signatus, Speckled cape tortoise have shells that measure only long. Several lineages of tortoises Giant tortoise, have independently evolved very large body sizes in excess of 100 kg, including the Galápagos tortoise, Galapagos giant tortoise and the Aldabra giant tortoise. They are usually Diurnality, diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals. ...

Tortoise Heavy Assault Tank
The Tortoise heavy assault tank (A39) was a British heavy assault gun design developed during the Second World War, but never put into mass production. It was developed for the task of clearing heavily fortified areas such as the Siegfried Line and as a result favoured armour protection over mobility. Although heavy, at 78 tons, and not readily transported, it was considered reliable and a good gun platform. Only a few prototypes of the Tortoise had been produced by the end of the war. After testing was complete, one was retained for preservation and the others disposed of. Development In the early part of 1943, the Allied forces anticipated considerable resistance in the projected future invasion of Europe, with the enemy fighting from heavily fortified positions such as the Siegfried Line. As a result, a new class of vehicles emerged, in the shape of assault tanks, which placed maximum armour protection at a higher priority than mobility. Initially, work was concentrate ...

TortoiseSVN
TortoiseSVN is a Subversion client, implemented as a Microsoft Windows shell extension, that helps programmers manage different versions of the source code for their programs. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. TortoiseSVN won the SourceForge.net 2007 Community Choice Award for Best Tool or Utility for Developers. In Windows Explorer, besides showing context menu items for Subversion commands, TortoiseSVN provides icon overlay that indicates the status of Subversion working copies. It also comes with the TortoiseMerge utility, available from Tigris.org website, to visually compare two files. TortoiseSVN can be integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio by using a third-party plugin such as VsTortoise. A third-party repository monitoring application using TortoiseSVN was named SVN-Monitor, then evolved into Vercue in 2011. TortoiseSVN 1.9 and later requires at least Windows Vista or later.

TortoiseHg
__NOTOC__ TortoiseHg is a GUI front-end for Mercurial that runs on Microsoft Windows (on which it integrates directly with File Explorer), Mac OS X, and Linux. It is written in PyQt (except the Windows shell extension), and the underlying client can be used on the command line. It is often recommended and preferred for working with Mercurial on Windows. This is a brief list of its features: * Repository explorer * Commit dialog * Support for visual diff/merge tools. * Data mining on repository contents * Seamless support for serving a repository via Mercurial's integrated web interface. * Repository synchronization * Intuitive GUI for managing Mercurial settings It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. TortoiseHg can be used as a client to a git server. In June 2020, TortoiseHg moved off of bitbucket when they stopped hosting mercurial projects, and found a new home with heptapod.

TortoiseCVS
TortoiseCVS is a CVS client for Microsoft Windows released under the GNU General Public License. Unlike most CVS tools, it includes itself in Windows' shell by adding entries in the contextual menu of the file explorer, therefore it does not run in its own window. Moreover, it adds icons onto files and directories controlled by CVS, giving additional information to the user without having to run a full-scale stand-alone application. The name is a pun on the word shell (computing, turtle). The tortoise in the logo is called Charlie Vernon Smythe (CVS). The project was started by Francis Irving when he was employed by Creature Labs to provide a better interface to CVS for his colleagues. Some of the code was derived from WinCVS and CVSNT. The first release was 4 August 2000. Criticism TortoiseCVS will always add argument "-c" to most CVS operations when communicating with a CVS server. This causes standard non-CVSNT servers to fail as these are not aware of this argument. Por ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
TortoiseBzr
GNU Bazaar (formerly Bazaar-NG, command line tool bzr) is a distributed and client–server revision control system sponsored by Canonical. Bazaar can be used by a single developer working on multiple branches of local content, or by teams collaborating across a network. Bazaar is written in the Python programming language, with packages for major Linux distributions, and Microsoft Windows. Bazaar is free software and part of the GNU Project. Features Bazaar commands are similar to those found in CVS or Subversion. A new project can be started and maintained without a remote repository server by invoking bzr init in a directory which a person wishes to version. In contrast to purely distributed version control systems which do not use a central server, Bazaar supports working with or without a central server. It is possible to use both methods at the same time with the same project. The websites Launchpad and SourceForge provide free hosting service for projects managed ...

Tortoise Formation
In ancient Roman warfare, the ''testudo'' or tortoise formation was a type of shield wall formation commonly used by the Roman legions during battles, particularly sieges. Formation In the ''testudo'' formation, the men would align their shields to form a packed formation covered with shields on the front and top. The first row of men, possibly excluding the men on the flanks, would hold their shields from about the height of their shins to their eyes, so as to cover the formation's front. The shields would be held in such a way that they presented a shield wall to all sides. The men in the back ranks would place their shields over their heads to protect the formation from above, balancing the shields on their helmets, overlapping them. If necessary, the legionaries on the sides and rear of the formation could stand sideways or backwards with shields held as the front rows, so as to protect the formation's sides and rear; this reduced the speed and mobility of the formation, ...

Chelys
The chelys or chelus ( el, χέλυς, la, testudo, both meaning "turtle" or "tortoise"), was a stringed musical instrument, the common lyre of the ancient Greeks, which had a convex back of tortoiseshell or of wood shaped like the shell. The word ''chelys'' was used in allusion to the oldest lyre of the Greeks, which was said to have been invented by Hermes. According to the ''Homeric Hymn to Hermes'', he came across a tortoise near the threshold of his mother's home and decided to hollow out the shell to make the soundbox of an instrument with seven strings. The word has been applied arbitrarily since classic times to various stringed instruments, some bowed and some plucked, probably owing to the back being much vaulted. Athanasius Kircher (''Musurgia universalis'', 486) applied the name of chelys to a kind of viol with eight strings. Numerous representations of the chelys lyre or testudo occur on Greek vases, in which the actual tortoiseshell is depicted. A good illustration ...

Eddington–Finkelstein Coordinates
In general relativity, Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates are a pair of coordinate systems for a Schwarzschild geometry (e.g. a spherically symmetric black hole) which are adapted to radial null geodesics. Null geodesics are the worldlines of photons; radial ones are those that are moving directly towards or away from the central mass. They are named for Arthur Stanley Eddington and David Finkelstein. Although they appear to have inspired the idea, neither ever wrote down these coordinates or the metric in these coordinates. Roger Penrose seems to have been the first to write down the null form but credits it to the above paper by Finkelstein, and, in his Adams Prize essay later that year, to Eddington and Finkelstein. Most influentially, Misner, Thorne and Wheeler, in their book '' Gravitation'', refer to the null coordinates by that name. In these coordinate systems, outward (inward) traveling radial light rays (which each follow a null geodesic) define the surfaces of consta ...
