John Curtis Holmes (August 8, 1944 - March 13, 1988) better known as "Johnny Wadd" (after the lead character in a series of related films), was one of the most prolific male porn stars of all time, appearing in about 2,500 adult loops, stag films, and pornographic feature movies in the 1970s and 1980s. Though he has passed on, the most famous part of Holmes is still present in the flesh (or thermal plastic elastomer, as it were). "The Original" is one of hundred of thousand mass-produced Holmes homages marketed all around the world and was molded directly from the legendary star. In response to this "toy", I became fascinated and somewhat disturbed by the implication of ownership and agency implied by the mass marketing and commercialization of an individual's actual body part. Further playing upon this co-opting of identity and commodification of the body, I placed an open call for artists to design their own piece for the John Holmes Prick Parade. The nude female form has long dominated as the artists' subject. The John Holmes Prick Parade hopes to give some visibility to the much neglected male apparatus. This is a move towards balancing gender equality within the anatomical object-ification of the art world. Before you is the grand culmination of this process, which began almost 70 years ago with the birth of a most "gifted" individual.

Em sistemas de abastecimento indireto, é comum a ocorrência de baixas vazões, devido ao tipo de componente de controle empregado, ou seja, válvulas de bóia convencionais. Este trabalho apresenta um estudo de caso desenvolvido com o objetivo de determinar o volume não contabilizado (perdas) por submedição, identificar suas causas e obter, assim, subsídios necessários à proposição de medidas que conduzam à otimização da medição de água. Contempla duas etapas: uma investigação em campo e uma investigação laboratorial. A coleta de dados em campo foi efetuada através da instalação de medidores volumétricos em série com os medidores das edificações selecionadas e aferição dos medidores em faixas de vazão determinadas. A investigação laboratorial foi efetuada para a verificação do comportamento de torneiras de bóia convencional e de alta vazão frente a uma mesma situação de abastecimento, avaliando-se a ocorrência da submedição. O estudo permitiu verificar o volume de água não contabilizado pelo hidrômetro, o conhecimento do comportamento das vazões no setor abordado, a determinação do indicador de consumo, a avaliação dos medidores instalados quanto à precisão da medição, a identificação das perdas nos hidrômetros por submedição, além da verificação do comportamento das torneiras de bóia / Abstract: Water consumption under measurement can represents about 8 to 23% of the produced water in Brazil. It can be caused by oversized meters or others external cause. Low flows are common in cold water systems with a reservoir controlled by conventional ball cock faucets. This work presents a study case developed in 22 low-income houses located in Campinas, Sao Paulo that aims to determine the water consumption under measured, to identify its causes and to formulate actions to reduce this problem. Its also contemplates a laboratory investigation to analyze the performance of conventional and ultra high flow ball cock faucets in the same situation of supplying. The results of the study can indicate some methods reduce the under measurement of water like the use of water meters with different range of accuracy combined with two types of ball cock faucets. Besides that, it could be checked the water volume lost by the actual model used, flow behavior of the population studied, a consumption index , the evaluation of the water meters installed in that region considering the measurement accuracy / Mestrado / Edificações / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

This diploma thesis addresses the issue of using the evaluation of surface texture in the manufacture of revolver with aplication to a cock. It deals with the detection of imperfections of production operations, the proposal of corrective measures and its implementation. The use of new grinding wheel was chosen as a corrective measure. The Rzmax parameter was used to specify the surface texture after miling and a combination of the Rzmax and Rpmax parameters was used to specify surface texture after grinding.
