Earlier theodolites used to have verniers and micrometer microscopes for reading angles, then they were manufactured with optical systems with witch the user could read both horizontal and vertical angles through an eyepiece located near the telescope. The newest theodolites showed the horizontal and vertical angles digitally in a display window. Now, actually, transits and theodolites are almost obsolete in American surveying practice. The textbook author (textbook pages were in moodle) refers to transits as being the American-style instruments, they have four levelling screws and silver horizontal and vertical scales and they are usually equipped with plumb bobs for cantering over points. Theodolite is used to refer to the instruments with three levelling screws and horizontal and vertical glass circles that could be read

Most surveys of significance were done by face-toface interviews in most countries in the world. Self-administered paper surveys, usually done by mail, were the only alternative. Yet, by the 1980s the telephone had replaced face-to-face interviews as the dominate survey mode in the United States, and in the next decade telephone surveys became the major data collection method in many countries. Yet other methods were emerging and in the 1990s two additional modes of surveying— 3 the Internet and responding by telephone to prerecorded interview questions, known as Interactive Voice Response or IVR, emerged in some countries. Nevertheless, in some countries the face-to- face interview remained the reliable and predominantly used survey mode. Never in the history of surveying have their been so many alternatives for collecting survey data,

into Britain’s North American colonies Mayflower and Pilgrim Fathers Over a hundred travelers embarked on the voyage of the Mayflower in September 1620. Less than one third were Separatists. The rest were immigrants, adventurers, and speculators. Their voyage took about two months, and the passengers enjoyed a happier experience than most trans- Atlantic trips. Lost at sea, they happened upon a piece of land that would become known as Cape Cod. After surveying the land, they set up camp not too far from Plymouth Rock. They feared venturing further south because winter was fast approaching. The Pilgrims had an important question to answer before they set ashore. Since they were not landing within the jurisdiction of the Virginia Company, they had no Charter to govern them. Mayflower Compact In the landmark Mayflower Compact of 1620, the Pilgrims decided that they would rule themselves, based on majority rule of the townsmen
be found there. Probes sent from Earth beginning in the late 20th century have dramatically increased the knowledge of the Martian system. Engineering interplanetary journeys is very complicated, so roughly two thirds of all spacecraft destined for Mars failed before completing their missions. But since 6 August 2012, there have been two scientific rovers on the surface of Mars beaming signals back to earth, and three orbiters currently surveying the planet. Mars is the only planet we know of that can currently feasibly support human life. MARS ONE, a private non-profit space company, made headlines in June 2012 when the company announced its mission to establish a human settlement on Mars. All the people in the world had the opportunity to be involved in the Mars One mission from the very beginning by participating in selecting the colonists. Mars One plans to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars in the 2020s
Dimensions are perspectives of a culture, based on values and cultural norms. Many psychologists argue that there is a crucial difference between cultures emphasizing individualism (independence, goals, competition, uniqueness, privacy) and those emphasizing collectivism (relatedness, belonging, duty, harmony, advice, group work). Hofstede was the first who proposed theoretical account of individualism and collectivism. He collected his evidence by surveying IBM's multi-national workers from 40 different countries. One of his key findings was that individualism correlates to the wealth of the country (people in these countries don't have such a need to depend on each other). There has been increasing criticism and research on individualism-collectivism. It has been pointed out that his sample was predominantly male, and was drawn only from specific group of people and his data is very old by now
clear of its shadow. Completed in 1883, the plan involved two distinctive stone towers, four main cables, anchorages, diagonal stay cables, and four stiffening trusses separating the common roadway and trolley line from a pedestrian promenade. With a record-breaking span of 1595ft (486m), the Brooklyn Bridge was designed by John Roebling, but it was built by his son and daughter-in-law after he died of blood poisoning following an accident while surveying the location of the Manhattan tower in which his foot was crushed. Massive Egyptian towers, pierced by pointed Gothic arches, stand 276.5ft (84m) above mean high water and 78.5ft (24m) below on the Manhattan side, 44.5ft (14m) on the Brooklyn. Diagonal stay cables give the bridge its distinctive appearance, but function to stiffen the deck. It took two years to lay up each of the four 15.75in (40cm) diameter main cables with 5434 wires, the pioneer use of steel wire (Figure 18).

She dreaded lest the chambermaid had been mistaken. On applying to see the place, they were admitted into the hall; and Elizabeth, as they waited for the housekeeper, had leisure to wonder at her being where she was. The housekeeper came; a respectable-looking elderly woman, much less fine, and more civil, than she had any notion of finding her. They followed her into the dining-parlour. It was a large, well proportioned room, handsomely fitted up. Elizabeth, after slightly surveying it, went to a window to enjoy its prospect. The hill, crowned with wood, which they had descended, receiving increased abruptness from the distance, was a beautiful object. Every disposition of the ground was good; and she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its banks and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it, with delight. As they passed into other rooms these objects were taking different
