21-485: (Redirected from St Marys Bay ) Saint Mary's Bay is the name of several places: St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador St. Marys Bay, Nova Scotia , Canada Saint Marys Bay, New Zealand , a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand St Mary's Bay, Kent , a village in England St. Mary's Bay, Devon , a beach near Brixham, England [REDACTED] Topics referred to by

42-408: A circle, the position of the speaker tends to move clockwise, even though there is no requirement that it do so. Curiously, unlike with games, there is usually no objection if turns begin to move counterclockwise. Notably, the game of baseball is played counterclockwise. As an alternative to using a clock to describe the rotation of a body, it is possible to use the right/left hand rule to determine

63-843: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages St. Mary%27s Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador It is located on the southern shore of the Avalon Peninsula and is the heartland of the Irish Newfoundlanders , who live all along its shores, stretching west to the Cape Shore and Placentia and northeast to the Southern Shore and St. John's . Like most Irish Newfoundlanders, area residents trace their ancestry to County Waterford , County Wexford , County Kilkenny , south County Tipperary and east County Cork . In addition to being Irish,

84-434: Is that supination of the arm, which is used by a right-handed person to tighten a screw clockwise, is generally stronger than pronation used to loosen. Sometimes the opposite (left-handed, counterclockwise, reverse) sense of threading is used for a special reason. A thread might need to be left-handed to prevent operational stresses from loosening it. For example, some older cars and trucks had right-handed lug nuts on

105-454: The Sun moves in the sky (from east to south to west), the shadow, which is cast on the sundial in the opposite direction, moves with the same sense of rotation (from west to north to east). This is why hours must be drawn in horizontal sundials in that manner, and why modern clocks have their numbers set in the same way, and their hands moving accordingly. For a vertical sundial (such as those placed on

126-559: The clock outside the Legislative Assembly in Plaza Murillo , La Paz , was shifted to counterclockwise motion to promote indigenous values. Typical nuts , screws , bolts , bottle caps , and jar lids are tightened (moved away from the observer) clockwise and loosened (moved towards the observer) counterclockwise in accordance with the right-hand rule . To apply the right-hand rule, place one's loosely clenched right hand above

147-510: The clock's predecessor: the sundial . Clocks with hands were first built in the Northern Hemisphere (see Clock ), and they were made to work like horizontal sundials. In order for such a sundial to work north of the equator during spring and summer, and north of the Tropic of Cancer the whole year, the noon-mark of the dial must be placed northward of the pole casting the shadow. Then, when

168-421: The compass face, starting with 0° at the top of the compass (the northerly direction), with 90° to the right (east). A circle defined parametrically in a positive Cartesian plane by the equations x = cos t and y = sin t is traced counterclockwise as the angle t increases in value, from the right-most point at t = 0 . An alternative formulation with sin and cos swapped gives a clockwise trace from

189-538: The government to relocate to 'growth centres.' Thus, there are several ghost towns around St. Mary's Bay, abandoned a generation ago. Starting at the southwest extremity and moving around the bay in a clockwise fashion (population data from 2006 census ) : 46°50′00″N 53°44′57″W  /  46.83333°N 53.74917°W  / 46.83333; -53.74917 Clockwise Two-dimensional rotation can occur in two possible directions or senses of rotation. Clockwise motion (abbreviated CW ) proceeds in

210-436: The object with the thumb pointing in the direction one wants the screw, nut, bolt, or cap ultimately to move, and the curl of the fingers, from the palm to the tips, will indicate in which way one needs to turn the screw, nut, bolt or cap to achieve the desired result. Almost all threaded objects obey this rule except for a few left-handed exceptions described below. The reason for the clockwise standard for most screws and bolts

231-667: The opposite direction. Some clocks were constructed to mimic this. The best-known surviving example is the Münster astronomical clock , whose hands move counterclockwise. Occasionally, clocks whose hands revolve counterclockwise are sold as a novelty. One historic Jewish clock was built that way in the Jewish Town Hall in Prague in the 18th century, using right-to-left reading in the Hebrew language . In 2014 under Bolivian president Evo Morales ,

252-523: The other. Some gas fittings are left-handed to prevent disastrous misconnections: oxygen fittings are right-handed, but acetylene , propane , and other flammable gases are unmistakably distinguished by left-handed fittings. In trigonometry and mathematics in general, plane angles are conventionally measured counterclockwise, starting with 0° or 0 radians pointing directly to the right (or east), and 90° pointing straight up (or north). However, in navigation , compass headings increase clockwise around

273-549: The region is also overwhelmingly Roman Catholic . St. Mary's Bay is an exceedingly rural area. None of the communities in the bay have a population in excess of 1000, and the bay as a whole is home to fewer than 5,000 people along (very roughly) the 150 km that make up 3 sides of its circumference, the 4th being uninhabitable ocean (note: because of bays, headlands, etc., the actual kilometres of shoreline are much more than 150). St. Mary's Bay stretches approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) wide at its mouth, from Point Lance in

294-435: The right wheels and left-handed lug nuts on the left wheels, so that, as the vehicle moved forward, the lug nuts tended to tighten rather than loosen. For bicycle pedals , the one on the left must be reverse-threaded to prevent it unscrewing during use. Similarly, the flyer whorl of a spinning wheel uses a left-hand thread to keep it from loosening. A turnbuckle has right-handed threads on one end and left-handed threads on

315-556: The rotational plane is specified, from which the rotation is observed. For example, the daily rotation of the Earth is clockwise when viewed from above the South Pole , and counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole (considering "above a point" to be defined as "farther away from the center of earth and on the same ray"). Clocks traditionally follow this sense of rotation because of

336-599: The same direction as a clock 's hands relative to the observer: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top. The opposite sense of rotation or revolution is (in Commonwealth English ) anticlockwise ( ACW ) or (in North American English ) counterclockwise ( CCW ). Three-dimensional rotation can have similarly defined senses when considering the corresponding angular velocity vector . Before clocks were commonplace,

378-511: The terms " sunwise " and "deasil", "deiseil" and even "deocil" from the Scottish Gaelic language and from the same root as the Latin "dexter" ("right") were used for clockwise. " Widdershins " or "withershins" (from Middle Low German "weddersinnes", "opposite course") was used for counterclockwise. The terms clockwise and counterclockwise can only be applied to a rotational motion once a side of

399-580: The upper-most point, where t can be considered akin to a compass heading. In general, most card games, board games, parlor games, and multiple team sports play in a clockwise turn rotation in Western Countries and Latin America and there is typically resistance to playing counterclockwise. Traditionally, and for the most part today, turns pass counterclockwise in many Asian countries. In Western countries, when speaking and discussion activities take place in

420-409: The walls of buildings, the dial being below the post), the movement of the sun is from right to top to left, and, accordingly, the shadow moves from left to down to right, i.e., counterclockwise. This effect is caused by the plane of the dial having been rotated through the plane of the motion of the sun and thus the shadow is observed from the other side of the dial's plane and is observed as moving in

441-730: The west to Cape Freels in the east, and it extends almost 58 km (36 mi) to the NNE to its farthest point inland at Colinet . The next bay to the west is Newfoundland's largest bay, Placentia Bay . To the east of St. Mary's Bay is the much smaller Trepassey Bay . St. Mary's Bay, while not hit as hard as neighbouring Placentia Bay , was subject to the Resettlement Program spearheaded by Joey Smallwood , Newfoundland and Labrador 's first premier (1949-1972). People in rural communities deemed no longer viable (whether by reason of population, economics, or remote location) were pressured by
