The author's name " indicates the status of the discourse within a society and culture ", and at one time was used as an anchor for interpreting a text, a practice which Barthes would argue is not a particularly relevant or valid endeavor.

A permanent anchor is used in the creation of a mooring, and is rarely moved ; a specialist service is normally needed to move or maintain it.

A sea anchor is a drogue, not in contact with the seabed, used to control a drifting vessel.

The vessel is attached to the anchor by the rode, which is made of chain, cable, rope, or a combination of these.

Since all anchors that embed themselves in the bottom require the strain to be along the seabed, anchors can be broken out of the bottom by shortening the rode until the vessel is directly above the anchor ( at this point the anchor chain is " up and down " in naval parlance ).

The term aweigh describes an anchor when it is hanging on the rode and is not resting on the bottom.

This is linked to the term to weigh anchor, meaning to lift the anchor from the sea bed, allowing the ship or boat to move.

An anchor is described as aweigh when it has been broken out of the bottom and is being hauled up to be stowed.

Since one fluke always protrudes up from the set anchor, there is a great tendency of the rode to foul the anchor as the vessel swings due to wind or current shifts.

Once the anchor is hauled up to the hawsepipe, the ring end is hoisted up to the end of a timber projecting from the bow known as the cathead.

The crown of the anchor is then hauled up with a heavy tackle until one fluke can be hooked over the rail.

When the rode is slack, the catenary curve presents a lower angle of pull on the anchor or mooring device than would be the case if it were nearly straight.

Clement of Alexandria, in his Paedagogus ( The Pedagogue ) 3. 59. 2-3. 60, writes that Christians may wear a seal ring for the sealing of documents, and he specifies permissible depictions: " And let our seals be either a dove, or a fish, or a ship scudding before the wind, or a musical lyre, which Polycrates used, or a ship's anchor, which Seleucus got engraved as a device ; and if there be one fishing, he will remember the apostle, and the children drawn out of the water.

These designs often bear an additional central device or emblem to further identify national aircraft, those from the French navy bearing a black anchor within the French cockade.

Knowledge of the correct device position relative to the rope anchor is critical for the correct operation of the cam devices in a fall as they are mono directional in operation, and the soloer must be aware that he needs to put in a runner as soon as he sets off above the belay point on a multi-pitch climb, otherwise he can slide to the bottom of the rope in the event of a fall.

An anchor is a device that attaches to the sea bottom to prevent a boat from drifting.

A mushroom anchor will normally sink in the silt to the point where it has displaced its own weight in bottom material, thus greatly increasing its holding power.

If the weight is suspended off the seabed it acts as a spring or shock absorber to dampen the sudden actions that are normally transmitted to the anchor and can cause it to dislodge and drag.

One method of accomplishing this moor is to set a bow anchor normally, then drop back to the limit of the bow cable ( or to double the desired scope, e. g. 8: 1 if the eventual scope should be 4: 1, 10: 1 if the eventual scope should be 5: 1, etc.

One of the primary characteristics of this technique is the use of a swivel as follows: the first anchor is set normally, and the vessel drops back to the limit of anchor cable.

The anchor is then normally cut away, as it cannot be recovered.

It normally consists of one or more cloth panels, or a woven network of twine or thin rope stretched with ropes between two firm anchor points such as trees or posts.

Peter Mansbridge, as chief correspondent for CBC News, is the regular weeknight anchor, normally hosting from Monday to Thursday, but may host other nights if a significant news event has occurred.

While CBC primetime promos on Fridays typically list Mansbridge as the nominal regular anchor that night as well, he has rarely anchored on Fridays in recent years, with Wendy Mesley normally substituting.

They also have arrangements for quick anchor release, which is operable from the bridge or other normally manned location in direct communication with the bridge.
