In chess and other chess-like games, a tempo (from Italian: tempo, lit. 'time') is a "turn" or single move (a half-move or ply made either by White or Black). When a player achieves a desired result in one fewer move, the player is said to "gain a tempo"; conversely, when a player takes one more move than necessary, the player is said to "lose a tempo".

The Thames-class lifeboat was operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) from its stations around the coasts of the United Kingdom between 1974 and 1997. Six were ordered but only two completed; they have both been sold on to other users. The class takes its name from the River Thames which flows through London and into the ...
The Thames class was a revival of William Bately's design of the Richmond class 32-gun frigate from 1756. [5] [6] The Richmond design was brought back for the Royal Navy in 1804 for the Thames-class frigates because of a desire by the First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord St Vincent, to reduce the amount of timber being used in ships, as well as building costs.

Structures that carry moving loads can have finite dimensions or can be infinite and supported periodically or placed on the elastic foundation.

The Thames Sailing Barge Match is the second oldest sailing race in the world, beaten only by the America's Cup.It starts off Stanford-le-Hope and finishes off the Three Daws public house in Gravesend on the London River (River Thames) and is open to spritsail rigged Thames sailing barges, it uses the same course and rules as were used in the first match in 1863.
In this particular movement, three subsets of entrants do not play against the other members of their own subset. These subsets consist of the stationary and quasi-stationary pairs (Pair 9, Pair 10, Pair 11, and Pair 12), the odd moving pairs (Pair 1, Pair 3, Pair 5, and Pair 7), and the even moving pairs (Pair 2, Pair 4, Pair 6, and Pair 8).
The Dimensionally Extended 9-Intersection Model (DE-9IM) is a topological model and a standard used to describe the spatial relations of two regions (two geometries in two-dimensions, R 2), in geometry, point-set topology, geospatial topology, and fields related to computer spatial analysis.
