  2. Mahi-mahi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahi-mahi

    Young mahi-mahi migrate past Malta where they are called lampuki and Sicily where they are known as lampuga or capone; there they are fished using nets and floating mats of palm leaves under which they collect. Mahi-mahi are carnivorous, feeding on flying fish, crabs, squid, mackerel, and other forage fish. They have also been known to eat ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahi-mahi_fishing

    Once hooked, mahi-mahi are acrobatic game fish displaying spectacular blue, yellow and green colours. [6] A very different technique uses land based kites, instead of boats and rods, as the mechanism for delivering the terminal tackle at the end of a fishing line. This method has been used to catch mahi-mahi from cliff tops in Hawaii. [7]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metric_units

    Metric units are units based on the metre, gram or second and decimal (power of ten) multiples or sub-multiples of these. According to Schadow and McDonald, [1] metric units, in general, are those units "defined 'in the spirit' of the metric system, that emerged in late 18th century France and was rapidly adopted by scientists and engineers.

  5. Level of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_measurement

    Level of measurement or scale of measure is a classification that describes the nature of information within the values assigned to variables. [1] Psychologist Stanley Smith Stevens developed the best-known classification with four levels, or scales, of measurement: nominal , ordinal , interval , and ratio .

  6. Giant trevally - Wikipedia

    The shark, sometimes even larger than the trevally, may die from the attack. The reason for this behavior is unclear, but the giant trevally does not attempt to eat the dead shark. Rarely, they have been recorded behaving in the same way towards humans: A spearfisher in Hawaii broke three ribs when rammed by a giant trevally.

  7. System of units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_units_of_measurement

    A baby bottle that measures in three measurement systems—metric, imperial (UK), and US customary. Metric systems of units have evolved since the adoption of the first well-defined system in France in 1795. During this evolution the use of these systems has spread throughout the world, first to non-English-speaking countries, and then to ...

  8. International System of Units - Wikipedia

    Nonetheless, the residual and irreducible instability of a physical IPK undermined the reliability of the entire metric system to precision measurement from small (atomic) to large (astrophysical) scales. [39] By avoiding the use of an artefact to define units, all issues with the loss, damage, and change of the artefact are avoided. [1]: 125

    These were hour glass shaped measure used for Milk, Ghee, Oils. The bottom was round like an inverted dome, the top was like flared rim. This shape helped in pouring the liquids. 4 Chhataank = 1 Pav 4 Pav = 1 Seer 40 Seer = 1 Maund Length Measure. Measure of length is Gaz. To interpret Gaz, depends on what one is measuring and where they are.
