Instead of using the fgetl function to read one line at a time, once a file has been opened the fscanf function can be used to read from this file directly into a matrix. If it is desired to perform calculations using the number, the function str2num would be used to convert the number stored in the string variable into a double value. The string function strtok is then used to store the number and the character in separate variables, both of which are string variables (the sec- ond variable actually stores the blank space and the letter). > type subjexp.dat 5.3 a 2.2 b 3.3 a 4.4 a 1.1 b ****************** Sample output of attached script: > fileex 5.30 a 2.20 b 3.30 a 4.40 a 1.10 b File close successful ****************** For attached example: -In this example, in the loop each time the fgetl function reads one line into a string variable. To use these, the file must be opened first and then closed when the reading has been completed. If this is not the case, lower-level functions must be used.

And while some were crippled by seasickness, others were wracked with dysentery. Worsley had by that stage not slept for 80 hours. Through it all, Captain Worsley navigated through the spray and the squalls, until after six days at sea, Clarence and Elephant Islands appeared just 30 miles ahead. It threw freezing spray in their faces and tossed frigid water over them, and it batted the boats from side to side and brought brave men to the fetal position as they battled the elements and seasickness. Now they had a new foe to contend with: the open ocean. Shackleton gave the order to break camp and launch the boats, and all at once, they were finally free of the ice that had alternately bedeviled and supported them. On April 9, it did just that, splitting beneath them with an almighty crack. “The floe has been a good friend to us,” wrote Shackleton in his diary, “but it is reaching the end of its journey, and is liable at any time now to break up.” “There was no alternative,” wrote Shackleton, “but to camp once more on the floe and to possess our souls with what patience we could till conditions should appear more favorable for a renewal of the attempt to escape.” Slowly and steadily, the ice drifted farther to the north and, on April 7, 1916, the snow-capped peaks of Clarence and Elephant Islands came into view, flooding them with hope. ![]() The initial plan was to march across the ice toward land, but that was abandoned after the men managed just seven and a half miles in seven days. Some of the younger dogs, too small to pull their weight, were shot, as was, to the chagrin of many, the unfortunate Mrs. ![]() In the time that passed between abandoning Endurance and watching the ice swallow it up completely, the crew salvaged as many provisions as they could, while sacrificing anything and everything that added weight or would consume valuable resources- including bibles, books, clothing, tools and keepsakes. Strenuous endeavors are made to free the Endurance from the ice, February 1915. In private, however, he revealed greater foreboding, quietly expressing to the ship’s captain, Frank Worsley, one winter’s night that, “The ship can’t live in this, Skipper … It may be a few months, and it may be only a question of weeks or even days … but what the ice gets, the ice keeps.” Survival on an Ice Floe Shackleton wrote Alexander Macklin, one of the ship’s surgeons, “did not rage at all, or show outwardly the slightest sign of disappointment he told us simply and calmly that we must winter in the Pack explained its dangers and possibilities never lost his optimism and prepared for winter.” There was nothing else to do but to establish a routine and wait out the winter. They had been within a day’s sailing of their landing place now the drift of the ice was slowly pushing them farther away with each passing day. Endurance was beset-in the words of one of the crew, Thomas Orde-Lees, “frozen like an almond in the middle of a chocolate bar.” Suddenly, there was no way forward, nor any way back. For several weeks, the ship poked and prodded its way through leads in the ice, gingerly making its way south but on January 18, a northerly gale pressed the pack hard against the land and pushed the floes tight against each other. Two days after leaving South Georgia, Endurance entered the pack ice-the barrier of thick sea ice that stands guard around the Antarctic continent. The goal of expedition leader Shackleton, who had twice fallen short-once agonizingly so-of reaching the South Pole, was to establish a base on Antarctica’s Weddell Sea coast.įrom there a small party, including himself, would set out on the first crossing of the continent, ultimately arriving at the Ross Sea, south of New Zealand, where another group would be waiting for them, having laid depots of food and fuel along the way. Officers and crew of the Endurance pose under the bow of the ship at Weddell Sea Base during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914-17, led by Ernest Shackleton.Įndurance had left South Georgia for Antarctica on December 5, 1914, carrying 27 men (plus one stowaway, who became the ship’s steward), 69 dogs, and a tomcat erroneously dubbed Mrs. The game starts by creating the geography of the world, then it places civilizations and magical creatures in that world, and then it simulates history for some number of years (250 by default).
![]() Both the tone and radio alarm start out at a low level, gradually increasing to the chosen maximum volume, for a gentle wake-up call. It's also possible to set three different alarms, which is handy if your partner gets up at a different time.Īlarms can be set as daily or for weekdays or weekends, or just once - and you can also adjust the volume. You can choose to wake up to an alarm tone or your favourite radio station (the Rise S supports DAB, DAB+ and FM). You can choose from five different colourways: gold, mint, navy, white and grey. With an unusual ‘flip’ method of turning the alarm on and off, this colourful clock is fun and functional, but not very flexible.īuy now: Lexon Flip LR130, £28, John Lewis & PartnersĪ welcome update to the classic radio alarm clock, this compact device sports a neat design. There’s also no option for adjusting the volume or setting multiple alarms. The alarm is rather loud and urgent, so there’s no slow, relaxing wake-up call here. This will also turn on a nightlight for a few seconds if you want to check the time when it’s dark without disturbing your rest too much. Powered by 2 AAA batteries (not included), the clock features a five-minute snooze that’s activated by tapping the button on top of the unit. To turn the alarm on and off, you simply flip the unit over so ‘on’ or ‘off’ is showing on the top. The time and alarm are both set with simple buttons on the back, with the alarm time displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen. The fun design is available in a wide range of colours to match every bedroom. This makes it a good choice if you need something portable.

However, the control buttons and on-screen menus are incredibly fiddly and not very intuitive, so it takes a while to master the settings. The wake-up lamp works a treat, and really does feel like a more relaxing way to start the day. It will also save your settings so you won’t have to programme it all again. The unit relies on mains power, but it’ll keep time for 30 minutes if there’s a power cut. This enables you to find the perfect wake-up and bedtime process to suit you. The light level settings for sunrise and sunset can be tweaked, as can their duration. The alarm clock offers a sunset mode to help you unwind before bed, along with a low blue light setting especially for bedtime. ![]() Then there’s a USB port for charging your mobile device if you can’t bear to be parted from it while you sleep. The unit also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, with pretty decent audio. There’s a DAB radio or a choice of 20 wakeup sounds including birds, crickets and traffic. You can choose from a daily or weekly alarm and if you want sound to accompany the lamp, you're in luck. The lamp mimics the rising sun, with the aim of regulating your sleep cycle for a better night’s rest.

The spinning jenny was still hand-powered, but had multiple spindles. Even with advances in design, spinning wheels only allowed workers to produce one spool of thread at a time. The importance of the spinning jenny lay in its efficiency. Hargreaves may have simply improved on a design by Thomas High and made the concept more widespread. These are probably not true: the name “jenny” was actually from a slang word for “engine.” There is also some debate about the role of other people in the invention of the machine. Another story claims that he named the machine after either his wife or daughter. For example, one story claims Hargreaves had the idea for his machine when his daughter knocked over a spinning wheel and he watched the spindle roll across the floor. There are some legends associated with the invention of the spinning jenny. Hargreaves was attempting to make it easier to produce more yarn when he designed the spinning jenny. Spinners struggled to keep up with the demand for cotton yarn. ![]() But in the early eighteenth century, cotton surged in popularity. For many years, the main cloth produced in Europe was wool. He was a spinner himself with little education and little money, but a large family. James Hargreaves, a carpenter and weaver from Oswaldtwistle, England, is generally given credit for inventing the spinning jenny in the eighteenth century. In addition to the Bible, spinning wheels show up in the well-known story of “Sleeping Beauty,” first found in a French work the Greek and Roman tale about Arachne, the talented spinner/weaver who boasts that she is more skillful than Athena (or Minerva) and the German fairytale “Rumpelstiltskin” in which a girl’s father claims she can spin straw into gold. Perhaps because of its prevalence in daily life, spinning wheels frequently appear in stories and legends. The sixteenth century also saw the invention of the flyer, a device that automatically twisted the yarn. This meant both of the spinner’s hands were free. Instead of turning the wheel by hand, the spinner would operate it using a foot treadle. The Saxon wheel wound the yarn onto a bobbin and included a stationary rod to hold the fiber. The spinner rotated a large wheel with his/her right hand while holding the piece of fiber in his/her left hand.Īt the beginning of the sixteenth century, Europeans began using the Saxon wheel. Early spinning wheels had a horizontally mounted spindle and a large wheel. They were likely invented in India and introduced to Europe in the High Middle Ages. Spinning wheels, the first step in mechanizing this process, have existed for centuries and perhaps millennia. ![]() The spinner would then twist the fibers together into a single strand and wind them onto a spindle. The process involved using a stick to draw individual fibers out of a piece of wool. ![]() ![]() Although the process was improved in the sixteenth century by the Saxon wheel and the flyer, the most significant changes to the craft were brought about by inventions in the eighteenth century, when every portion of the textile industry struggled to keep up with the demand for cotton.īefore the Middle Ages, Europeans used hand spinning to turn fiber into thread or yarn. The mechanization of spinning in Europe began when spinning wheels arrived from another continent in the High Middle Ages. It decreased production costs, encouraged the movement of textile production into factories, and eventually led to more advanced technologies, such as Samuel Crompton’s spinning mule. Designed by James Hargreaves in 1764 or 1765, the spinning jenny was one of the crucial inventions in the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution.
