01 | “Danger & Star, Rooster & Angel” — Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw x Female Mitchell OC
Summary: 26-year-old Lucy Asa Mitchell did not know what was in store for her when she first bumped into Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw. After an instant mutual connection followed by a sweet whirlwind romance that swept both their feet, Lucy found herself being immersed deeper into Bradley’s world of the Navy, F-14s, and deployments. What she didn’t expect was finding was the answer to an elusive part of her past — the identity of her long-lost father.

Bradley
It was a sunny mid-morning in San Diego, and Bradley Bradshaw and Natasha Trace were taking the Bronco for a drive down a palm-adorned boulevard.
“Thanks again Rooster,ˮ Nat grinned as she basked in the daylight of the open air. “SʼAlways nice takinʼ a ride in the olʼ girl.ˮ
“Quiet now,ˮ Bradley replied, mocking hurt. “Sheʼll hear you, you know?ˮ
Nat rolled her eyes playfully, untucking her shades from the hem of her tank top and covering her eyes. Seagulls flew overhead, the taste of salt was in the atmosphere, and a lovely shade of blue began to appear on their horizon. Bradley licked his lips and stepped on the accelerator. He reminisced to himself about the beaches in Okinawa from his previous deployment. Sure, they were great but there is something about the California coastline you canʼt just feel the same way about anywhere else.
“You arrived at your destination,ˮ Google announced. “The Umi Research Center. ˮ A crystal dome came into view and steadily emerged as this enormous limestone edifice that was akin to the Parthenon.
Bradley pulled up by the docks and Nat jumped out as soon as the Bronco was in park.
“Wanna come with?ˮ She asked him.
“Iʼll stay put,ˮ Bradley reclined his seat. “Unless this Sam guy, needs to be forcibly removed from the premises?ˮ
“Well in that case, I can handle it myself, canʼt I?ˮ
Bradley turned on the radio and tugged at his Hawaiin-print shirt to fan himself. He watched as Natʼs figure disappeared into the entrance of the building. His attention was then directed towards the sea and the pristine boats that thudded against the docks. Natʼs own sedan was in the shop, so she called in a favor from Bradley to borrow his Bronco. Since there was no way her wheel was to be steered by any other set of hands other than his, Bradley opted to be a personal chauffeur to Nat and her first cousin, Sam, for the day.
The heat of the sun was beginning to wear down Bradley, so he took his keys from the ignition and hopped out for a quick walk on the dock. The cool sea breeze helped soothe the sunʼs scalding presence. It was on days like this when his parents used to take him to the beach as a little boy. But thatʼs all what those moments are now—memories. He stopped to stare at the water. A lot of people like to say he looked a lot like his father, and he agrees. But on some days, it feels like the man staring right back at him was a stranger.
Thud.
Bradley felt something collide against his back, and heard a clatter of things falling against the wooden walkway and a small gasp. He quickly turned around and beheld two boxes filled with audio tapes and folders tipped on their sides, and beside them, a young woman rose to her feet.
“I apologize,ˮ she breathed out as her frame got on her knees and began to return the contents to her boxes. “Iʼm afraid I wasnʼt watching where I was going...ˮ
She was wearing a navy-colored bathing suit underneath a white, fitted, cropped tee-shirt, and a sheer floral shawl tied around her waist. Her feet were clad in copper-colored slippers, her wrists were adorned with braided bracelets, her right ankle with a dainty metal chain, and her neck with a cross underneath a string of little, iridescent pearls. Bradley did not even realize he was on his knees with a tape in his hand, for his eyes simply could not part from her face. Mahogany waves framed her lovely visage and her dark-caramel eyes were cast to the floor beneath them.
“Um... do you mind?ˮ She smiled kindly at him.
“Huh?ˮ
“The tape — in your hand,ˮ she pointed.
“Oh — uh... Sorry,ˮ Bradley scratched the nape of his neck as he reached the tape over to her. Their fingers met and so did their gazes. Bradley chuckled and she shyly looked away.
“Again,ˮ she spoke, as she put one box on top of the other. “I apologize.ˮ
“None needed,ˮ Bradley finally collected himself. “Those look quite heavy, need a hand?ˮ
“If you donʼt mind, please.ˮ She sighed. Bradley eagerly lifted the boxes in his arms.
“Lead the way,ˮ he grinned.
“Thank you,ˮ she replied as they proceeded to cross the dock towards the research center.
“I donʼt recall seeing you around here,ˮ the woman stranger spoke. “Are you new?ˮ
“Nah, Iʼm here with a friend whoʼs picking up a cousin who works here. Apparently, he just came from Antartica.ˮ
“How intersting,ˮ she mused. “I was just stationed there.ˮ
“Youʼre a researcher?ˮ Bradley raised a brow.
“You seem amused.ˮ
“I didnʼt mean to—“ Bradley blushed.
Her laugh resonated, it was as clear as a spring and as sweet as her eyes. It was the kind of sound you wanted to play on repeat.
“I was simply kidding. I know fairly well the distresses of a woman in a man's world... I just choose to make the most fun I can out of it.ˮ
Bradley chuckled.
“You make ‘em underestimate you, then you pull the ground from under their feet like a riptide.ˮ
She looked at him with great consideration.
“You just see right through me, donʼt you?ˮ she teased.
“I think you did, otherwise we wouldnʼt be talking right now. Which would be unfortunate, of course.ˮ
She laughed once more, and Bradley smiled as they stepped into the marble-floored foyer after a swipe of her card at the door. For a research center, this was far grander than Bradley had imagined from the outside looking in. Tall, corinthian, columns lined the limestone walls on either side. In every space, oil paintings of founders with solemn and peaceful expressions resided there. The glass dome above filtered the sun rays into iridescent shards of light that danced on the cylindrical and tremendous aquarium in the center of the room. It housed vibrant schools of reef fish and brilliant coral, all so dramatically composed to evoke in every beholder pure awe. Bradley whistled, head tilted skywards with a gaping mouth.
“Glorious, isnʼt it?ˮ She chuckled at his expression. “Wait ‘til we really get inside.ˮ
Bradley trailed behind her as they crossed the foyer and climbed up the steps just a little bit past the elevators. The space alone was fit to be a ballroom for a grand royal celebration. Shelves and shelves of books lined the limestone curved against concave walls except in the very middle where a tall, rectangular window allowed a picturesque view of the ocean. In the center of the circular facility, a behemoth, holographic globe floated above a ring of conjoined computers. The remaining space was lined with bench tables and plush chairs.
“Welcome to Umi,ˮ The woman stranger smiled.
“The lights on the globe,ˮ Bradley asked her. “Are those your other branches?ˮ
“Every light represents a team of researchers from all divisions, all around the world.“
“Impressive,ˮ Bradley nodded.
“Umi is that and everything else,ˮ She sighed, as she turned towards the elevators.
“You must love working here with that shine of yours and all,ˮ He mused as they waited for a lift up.
“I do,ˮ she replied passionately. “The sea is my first love.ˮ The elevator doors parted open and Bradley followed her in.
“Do you have anything youʼre passionate about, Mr.—?ˮ She spoke to him. “Iʼm sorry I should have asked for your name—“
“Itʼs Bradley, Bradley Bradshaw. And if I may know yours?”
“Lucy,ˮ the woman smiled at him. “Lucy Mitchell.ˮ
“Lucy,ˮ Bradley repeated. “Like light.ˮ
“What?ˮ
“Thatʼs what your name means,ˮ he told her. “Explains the shine.ˮ
“Do you know the meaning of the names of every woman you meet, Mr. Bradshaw?ˮ Lucy raised a brow playfully. “I hate to admit how clever that is of a way to disarm any of us women.ˮ
“Oh yeah,ˮ Bradley played along. “I read about one name every day from my dictionary, yours just happened to pop up recently.ˮ
“Is that so?ˮ She chuckled. “Then I should warn the others, ‘There is a serial flatterer on the loose with an intent to charm!ʼ“
Bradley laughed.
“Iʼm surprised Iʼve kept up a conversation with you this long at all, to be honest.ˮ
“Now what makes you say that?ˮ Lucy cocked her head to the side.
Bradley wanted to say it was because Lucy Mitchell was beautiful and smart and young and hilarious and sophisticated despite the casual comfort her disposition exuded. That Bradley was old and truly awkward when it came to the really pretty girls that make him laugh. How he desired to so effortlessly make her know that she had a slot in his schedule for a dinner with him. Yes she was a stranger, but this entire interaction surely trumped any small talk he had over the previous online dates he set up and the lonesome evenings at the bar bench when women sauntered over to him to have a little fun for the night
Get off your perch and take the fucking shot, Rooster! He could hear Jake Seresin ringing in his ears.
“Lucy—“
“Lucy!ˮ
The elevator doors parted ajar once more, and in front of them, Nat and her cousin Sam were.
“What are you still doing here?ˮ Sam asked her as they stepped off the lift.
“I just remembered that we left some material on deck,ˮ Lucy replied as she gestured towards Bradley. “And this gentleman is helping me get them to my office.ˮ
“Gentleman, huh?ˮ Nat smirked as she leaned her elbow against Samʼs shoulder. She reached out her hand to Lucy.
“Nice to meet ya, the nameʼs Natasha Trace, but itʼs Nat for everybody.ˮ Lucy shook her hand.
“Likewise. Iʼm Lucy, Lucy Mitchell.ˮ
“I see youʼve already met my friend, Lieutenant Bradley,ˮ Nat had a Cheshire grin stretching across her face. Beyond Lucyʼs periphery, Bradley directed Nat a stern look. Nat quickly cocked her head towards Lucy.
“Sheʼs cute,ˮ she mouthed at him. Bradley raised his eyebrows in agreement.
“You must be Samʼs cousin,ˮ Lucy smiled at her. “He talks a lot about you.ˮ
“Aw, Sam!ˮ Nat cooed as she tucked her cousin under her arm and affectionally rubbed his hair. “My little cousin misses me that much?ˮ
“Only how annoying you are!ˮ Sam groaned. He was a young-looking fellow despite his age, a 23-year-old new grad looking like he just celebrated his 16th birthday. He was tall, lanky, and freckled. His dark and bold features are similar to Natʼs, but Sam’s looked a little softer around the edges, like a muted color compared to Natʼs natural exuberance.
“You—ugh.ˮ Sam struggled against Nat. “Must be Bradley, right?ˮ
“Nice to meet ya,ˮ Bradley confirmed.
“Donʼt let Lucy take those to her office,ˮ Sam finally escaped from Natʼs grasp. “Sheʼs been working non-stop in the expedition and I've been given strict orders that she shouldnʼt be here until next week.ˮ
“Oh come on, Sam!ˮ Lucy whined. “These are the mourning recordings! Weʼve never seen them sing like this! If Foster asks, just say I wasnʼt here!ˮ
“Sheʼll have my ass, that woman!ˮ Sam sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Lucy, go home. Compression Sickness is no light matter. Youʼre still recoveri—! You literally just went for a dive, did you?ˮ
“Perhaps,ˮ She replied nonchalantly. Sam groaned.
“Workaholic, huh?ˮ Nat remarked. “Listen, why donʼt you come out with us? Weʼre hitting the Pier today and catching a movie later. That way, Samʼs ass isnʼt grounded and I get a new girlfriend. Iʼm sure Rooster wonʼt mind, do you Rooster?ˮ
Natasha grinned at him smugly, as Lucy chuckled. They were both resigned to Natʼs insistence.
“Of course not,ˮ Bradley replied.
“That settles it,ˮ Nat smiled. “Meet us in the foyer.ˮ
They exchanged places, Nat and Sam towards the lifts and Bradley and Lucy towards the offices. As the doors closed, Natasha sneaked a quick wink in Bradleyʼs direction. In addition to that, her signature, ‘donʼt screw it upʼ look.
“I'm sorry about her,ˮ Bradley spoke as they walked the sun-lit hallways together towards her office. “She doesnʼt get to meet a lot of women in our line of work, and when she does theyʼre often not nice.ˮ
“I think your girlfriendʼs sweet,ˮ Lucy replied. “Sam thinks really highly of—“
“Sheʼs not my girlfriend,ˮ Bradley interjected.
“Oh,ˮ she closed her eyes briefly and shaking her head. “Iʼm sorry, I shouldnʼt have assumed. The both of you just seemed really comfortable with each other.ˮ
“Yeah we get that a lot,ˮ Bradley sighed, a wave of embarrassment washing over him at his premature response. “Sheʼs one of my best friends, thatʼs all. Weʼve known each other for over 15 years.ˮ
“Are you a naval aviator, yourself?ˮ
Lucy noted the swell in his chest and the small proud smirk that settled on his lips. “That I am.ˮ
They finally arrived at the office and Lucy promptly turned her key in the lock. The translucent door swung open and she quickly gestured towards the side of her desk where Bradley deposited the boxes.
“Thank you, Lieutenant.ˮ Lucy smiled.
“At your service,ˮ Bradley replied. As he bent down, she noticed a small, transverse cut in the inside of his left bicep. He was carrying them for much longer than she had anticipated and the upper corner of the top box must have done it. She opened the top cabinet on her table and retrieved a small metal box with a biscuit label.
“Those look good,ˮ Bradley remarked.
“Sorry to disappoint you, Lieutenant,ˮ Lucy laughed. “Iʼve already ate them all. You cut your arm, by the way.ˮ
“Oh would you look at that,ˮ he mused at the prickle of blood that began to emit. “The horror.ˮ
Lucy laughed again.
“Now, now,ˮ she played along as she ripped an antiseptic wipe open from its paper container. “This will all be over soon.ˮ
She pressed the wipe into his bicep. Her hands were dainty and soft and cool against his skin. He watched her eyebrows furrow just a little as she encountered a little resistance from placing a bandaid decorated with small, little fish— and regarded the way her tongue would poke from her lips. Bradley felt a searing heat in his chest and her touch had become so much more apparent to his senses.
“There we go,ˮ Lucy chuckled. “Crisis averted.ˮ Not quite, Bradley thought. Not quite.
A silence fell between them from the moment they left Lucyʼs office; to the moment Natasha elbowed Sam into the back seat with her (even though Sam wanted to call shotgun, but was then dismissed as Nat was playing wingman); to the moment they placed their orders at a nearby Shake Shack; to the moment they sat side by side through two movies at the theatre; and until now as they watched Sam and Nat board the Devilʼs Drop at Ruby Pier. It wasnʼt the awkward, painful kind of silence that say two middle school sweethearts would experience at a secret, last-minute first date as one or other try to make the first move. It was peculiar kind that was quite comforting.
Lucy tugged Bradleyʼs sleeve. He turned to her, very much endeared by this gesture.
“Wanna take a walk?ˮ She suggested.
“Might as well,ˮ he agreed. “Phoenix is an adrenaline junkie, sheʼs gonna try a couple of those kind of rides before sheʼs done.ˮ
“I feel bad leaving Sam,ˮ she frowned. “Heʼs terrified of dives, let alone those rides.ˮ
“I donʼt,ˮ Bradley kidded. “I get you all to myself.ˮ Lucy chuckled.
“Iʼm afraid I donʼt have a lot to offer with my companionship, Lieutenant, but I think those girls do.ˮ She cocked her head towards a herd of girls giggling in Bradleyʼs direction as they stared at him with glinting eyes.
“I gotta say,ˮ Bradley drawled. “Iʼm a bit offended that you think of me that way.ˮ
“How so?ˮ Lucy challenged with a smile.
“I think I can tell for myself the sort of woman I find interesting, little lady.ˮ
“And you happen to find me interesting?ˮ Lucy laughed.
“Very much so.ˮ
They stopped at a saltwater taffy stall as they began to cross the boardwalk. It was by far the grandest saltwater taffy stall on the Pier, decorated with exuberant colors and classy old-time fonts. The vendor was a short, Asian man in what appears to be his 50s, with smile lines and youthful eyes. His skin was the color of chocolate milk and his eyes were piercingly gray.
“Hello Manong,ˮ Lucy grinned at him.
The old manʼs eyes did not shift, but his lips broke into a great smile.
“Lucy!ˮ He exclaimed in a coarse voice. “How are you? Where have you been, silly girl?ˮ His English was perfectly American, but it did betray some intonations of his own mother tongue. Bradley watched as Lucy reached out her palm to his and pressed his knuckle against her forehead.
“Iʼve been well,ˮ she smiled. “I just arrived home today. Where is Victor? Have you been here all day?ˮ
“Now donʼt you worry sweet girl, I just came here for a short shift. Victor is at the hospital with Sherry. I think theyʼre going to have their third kid. His sisterʼs gonna pick me up in an hour.ˮ
“Itʼs the third one already?ˮ
“I know, Iʼm getting old!ˮ He raised his hands laughing as he proceeded to pack a bag for Lucy, working skillful behind the counter. “Youʼll have the usual one, yes? Now whatʼll your friend be having?ˮ
Bradley without having uttered a single word yet, stared at him. “Well, young man?ˮ
“Iʼll have the caramel swirls with raspberries please,ˮ Bradley replied. The old man chuckled as he got to work.
“This your girl?ˮ
“Manong!ˮ Lucy scolded, a blush quickly staining her cheeks.
“I tell you now that sheʼs a keeper!ˮ He laughed as he handed them their taffy. Bradley was ready to swipe his card, when the old man shook his head.
“On the house for sweet Lucy and her new friend!ˮ He said cheerily.
“Thank you Manong,ˮ Lucy smiled. “Youʼre a gem!ˮ
The old man waved at them as they walked farther down the boardwalk. Lucy gently opened her taffy, inhaling its delicious strawberry and vanilla fragrance before enjoying a pair of them. Bradley followed suit.
“That man was blind, wasnʼt he?ˮ Bradley asked her. Lucy nodded.
“Itʼs not just because of his age. His eyesight just suddenly began deteriorating,ˮ she explained. “His family is one of the oldest saltwater taffy makers in California. Victor is his eldest, and took over when his vision got worse.ˮ
“Iʼd say that heʼs one of the most clear-sighted people I ever met,ˮ Bradley said.
“I agree,ˮ she chewed on a vanilla taffy and covered her mouth as she spoke. “I didnʼt think he could tell that you were even there, much less a man. But he probably should never drive a plane, donʼt you think?ˮ
“Absolutely not,ˮ Bradley laughed. “But he did prove you wrong.ˮ Lucy gazed at him.
“That you, Lucy Mitchell, are indeed interesting.ˮ
They arrived at the near end of the boardwalk in silence. Lucy leaned against the railing, staring out into the ocean. The shards of rich light from the opalescent sky above glimmered all around them, and Bradley saw them dance in the irises of her eyes. Her tongue poked out from her smooth lips just as he had seen this morning. Her hair, like the sea before them, trembled at the wind. Then her gaze finally met his.
“I would say the same Lieutenant,ˮ she said to him. “If you spoke truthfully.ˮ
Bradley did not speak. There was a seriousness in the way she looked at him. He would wait for his turn.
“I am not a fickle woman or one who is easily flattered,ˮ she whispered. “But your words today meant greatly to me, and I canʼt help but think of your intentions. You say that Iʼm a riptide. That my passion shines through. Then you say that I am unexpectedly easy to talk to, and now you say that Iʼm interesting. But you’ve only just met me…”
“I donʼt want to you to misconstrue my intentions or yours, Lieutenant,ˮ she spoke bravely. “And I donʼt want to get my hopes up. But aside from all the things youʼve learned about me today, there is something else you should now... “
“Iʼm not one for casual relations. If someone must have me, then he must earn me first.ˮ
Lucy had fired the first shot.
At Natʼs insistence, she persuaded Lucy to let Bradley take her home instead of the taffy-manʼs daughter. To be fair, it was not too far from her apartment and the fact that Bradley got seven more minutes with Lucy was a bonus on account of Natʼs wingman game. She gave a thumbs up to Bradley before assisting a nauseated Sam from the backseat of the Bronco. Lucy and Bradley were once more enveloped in silence, but it was not as comfortable as it had been during their day out together.
“Hereʼs me,ˮ Lucy told him, hopping out of the Bronco.
Bradley turned the ignition off and walked her to the gate of her quaint, little apartment complex. Three rusty-colored brick buildings surrounded a small courtyard with flower gardens and a concrete fountain with small koi.
“I guess this is it,ˮ Lucy smiled. “It was nice meeting you, Lieutenant. Thank you for the ride home.ˮ
As she turned towards the gate to unlock it, all Bradley could think about was the shots he was too reluctant to take — both in the air and his life. So in that moment, in the crimson light of dusk, his fingers instinctively bound themselves around her wrist. She looked at him in surprise, her sweet, caramel eyes glowing in the sunset.
“This morning you asked me what I was passionate about,ˮ he told her. “Even if I did have the time to answer, I wouldnʼt have known what to say to you because as much as I love to fly and...play music—I donʼt— I donʼt think thereʼs anything I love like how you love the sea. I havenʼt found it yet. A-Anyways, Iʼm probably talking stupid right now, but all Iʼm trying to say is... do you want to help me find out?ˮ
“What?ˮ Lucy uttered in a small voice, stunned.
Bradley tried breathing, but suddenly found it very hard to with the thunderous beating in his chest.
“Will you, Lucy Mitchell, go on an official date with me?ˮ
Her silence made him quiver. Despite how clear her gaze was, there was no telling of the tumultuous thoughts that ran behind it.
“Is it because you felt bad for me? For what I said at the Pier?ˮ Lucy asked, narrowing her eyes at him.
“Not at all,ˮ Bradley insisted. “If anything, it just made my intentions for you clearer.ˮ
“I date to marry Lieutenant and I donʼt settle for less,ˮ she told him firmly.
“Is that supposed to scare me?ˮ
Lucy gazed at him considerably before speaking.
“Is this Saturday okay for you?ˮ
“You can have me by tomorrow,ˮ Bradley grinned.
“Wow Lieutenant,ˮ she chuckled. “Donʼt you think this is going a little too fast?ˮ
“Iʼm a pilot,ˮ he smirked. “Iʼm basically supersonic.ˮ
God, he loved the way she hid her giggles behind her dainty fingers.
“Alright then,ˮ Lucy spoke. “Tomorrow at 1400, come pick me up. Weʼll go to Sitaʼs on Newport Avenue at Ocean Beach and go from there.ˮ
“Itʼs a date,ˮ Bradley smiled.
“Goodnight, Lieutenant.ˮ
“Itʼs Bradley, for you.ˮ
“Goodnight, Rooster.ˮ
Bradley laughed again.
“Goodnight, Angel.ˮ
Fun Fact! “Koi no Yokan” is a Japanese saying, which means love at second sight. It is described as a feeling of inevitably falling for someone. Jump to their first date at 02 | Halo-Halos by Beach! DM to be tagged!

Laurent Vital on Irish clothing in 1518
Burgundian courtier Laurent Vital visited Kinsale, Co. Cork in 1518. He wrote an account of the visit titled "Speaking a little of the country of Ireland" which included descriptions of Irish people and culture. Vital was less bigoted toward the Irish than many of the 16th c. English writers. His writing was still somewhat biased though, because his information came from a French-speaking (probably Anglo-Irish) Irishman who was prejudiced against the rural Gaelic Irish.
Vital's account was only translated into English in 2012, so it is not included in Irish dress history books, because all of them (Dress in Ireland by Mairead Dunlevy, Before the Kilt by Gerald Kelly, Bríd Mahon's books, H. F. McClintock's books) were published before 2012. This is unfortunate, because Vital's descriptions include a lot of details of Irish dress.
The 2012 translation has some flaws. I think the translator, Dorothy Convery, was not knowledgeable about 16th c. Irish dress and possibly not the most familiar with 16th c. French, because she completely misinterpreted some of the clothing descriptions. I have done my best to correct these, but I don't actually know French, so my revised version is not perfect either. If anyone has suggestions for improving it, let me know. I used Randle Cotgrave's 1611 A Dictionarie of the French and English Tongues, Dictionnaire du Moyen Français, version 2020 (DMF 2020), the University of Chicago's compilation of historical French dictionaries, Wiktionary, and honestly, google translate for this. (Google translate actually does a really good job with French, like 60% of the time.)
The original French text of Vital's account is available here. Convery's complete translation is here. Content Warning if you decide to read the Vital's complete account: It contains a description of assault with a possible forced marriage. Also, Vital was kind of obsessed with breasts. I am only including the parts describing Irish dress and hairstyles in this post. Translation footnotes are at the end of each page. I couldn't figure out a nicer way to format them on tumblr.
Excerpts from "Speaking a little of the country of Ireland" translated by Dorothy Convery and revised by Deidre
p. 285
The inhabitants [of Ireland] are very strangely and singularly costumed and would that it is so well described that you might picture how they dress just as I saw them, both the men and the women. For to see them is enough to make you laugh. Firstly married women wear their finery, and linen head coverings (1); some yellow and others white. When they are women of status, they have chemises with wide sleeves, worked around the collar and in the seams with silk needlework of different colours. Many of them had their hair cropped in front and back, except for two tresses of hair at either side, which are an ell long. They plait these like children here making hats from rushes and then secure them so they do not come undone. And with the tops of their heads so adorned, these loops of hair braided accordingly hang down in front more or less to their waists, in such a way that these women can put the ends into their kerchiefs (1), which they secure with wool tape (2). These women have their kirtles or petticoats (3) punched (4) there as they were worn alone in the past, with rings placed over (5) the bustline to support their breasts. And above their dresses they wear wide fillets (6) and big belts decorated with beautiful buckles, some of gilded silver, also of copper, metal or brass, according to their rank. Their dresses have loose sleeves, open the length of the arms, unfastened to hang (7) very nicely. Generally, the men, women and young girls wear their chemises (8) open to the waist, without any difference between them except that the women's chemises are, as they are over here, wide at the bottom, made with gores (9) with 4 seams, (10) if needed. So that most young women and girls have their chests naked to the waist; it is as common there to see or touch the breast of a girl or woman, as it is to touch her hand. And so, there are as many different fashions and customs as there are countries.
Translation notes:
coevrechief: kerchief or headcovering
patelette: Bande d'étoffe (DMF 2020) cloth tape, wool or possibly linen
cottes ou cotelettes: kirtle, or possibly coat, or frock/gown (see Cotte in Cotgrave 1611)
ponchonn��es: pierced or punched, meaning eyelets made with an awl, or possibly decorative stamping
rondz eslevez: possibly metal lacing rings which were in use by the late 15th c. This whole sentence is confusing to me.
tissu: a bawdricke, ribbon, fillet, or head-band of woven stuffe (Cotgrave 1611)
lachiés à traillette: laschier: let go, release (DMF 2020) trailler: to trayle a Deere (Cotgrave 1611) to trail or to hang. I think this sentence is describing hanging sleeves like those on the Shinrone gown, but it could also be interpreted as "Their dresses have wide sleeves, open the length of the arms, loose to hang very nicely."
I am keeping the original French usage of chemise to mean both the man's and woman's garment, because Irish uses the same word, léine, for both.
ghéron: I think this word is derived from the Old French giron meaning gusset or triangular shape.
genoulx: knee, also join (ie seam in this context) (cf. genouille: full of joins (Cotgrave 1611))
p. 286
The women and girls there wear coloured stockings (1) of red and green and others that they like, better narrowed and tightened with garters than those of Castile. They wear little shoes (2) with single soles, very pretty and cute, worked over other colors of leather and sometimes gilded with tinned leather, as if it were gilded (2), like the shoes which were bought for children at fairs in past times. The place was full of beautiful young women and also girls of marriageable age who were very charming and pleasant. Unmarried young women went bareheaded in summer time with their hair tied back in the same way as maidens over here; and they wear on their heads garlands of flowers or greenery.
Translation notes:
chausses: stockings or hose in Middle French (wiktionary.org)
solier: alternate spelling of soulier: shoe (Cotgrave 1611)
ie like with gold
p. 287-288
Having heard about the rig-out of the women and girls, listen how the men are kitted out. For sure, even more strangely than the women, and particularly the rural people and the savages; for they were shorn and shaved one palm above the ears, so that only the tops of their heads were covered with hair. But on the forehead they leave about a palm of hair to grow down to their eyebrows like a tuft of hair which one leaves hanging on horses between the two eyes. They are strangely bearded, some shave their beards just to just above the mouth and others to below the mouth. Others shave some places and let their beards grow in tufts. These men have their chemises open there, down to the belt, without having sleeves, so their arms are naked. They are belted (1) in heavy linen which goes one and a half times around them, and goes nearly from their neck to their feet, and they go with naked feet and bare legs. [. . .skipping the part on weapons because I don't know enough about weapons. . .] These men dress and enshroud (2) themselves in large hairy mantles, worn over their heads as the women in Brabant wear their huiks. (3) This mantle only goes halfway past the belt; and over that a long shortening (4) of linen. Thus shorn, bearded, armed and barefoot — as I said — imagine how strange this costume is to look at. I must say, I have never seen anything like this before even in a painting.

What Materials are Used in Auto Wiring Harnesses
The automotive industry has undergone significant changes over the past few decades, and with each advancement, the complexity of automotive wiring harnesses has increased. These harnesses are essential for transmitting power and signals throughout the vehicle to ensure optimal operation of electrical and electronic components. As a professional automotive wiring harness manufacturer, we understand the importance of using high-quality materials to ensure safety, reliability, and durability. In this article, we will discuss the materials commonly used in automotive wiring harness manufacturing.
Conductive Materials: Copper and Aluminum
At the heart of any wiring harness is the conductive material that carries the current. Copper is the most commonly used conductive material in automotive wiring harnesses because of its excellent conductivity, flexibility, and tensile strength. It can carry high current loads without significant voltage drop, which is critical in automotive applications where performance and safety are critical.

Analysis of POWER CABLE: an important link for power transmission
Power Cable refers to a type of cable used to carry electricity, the most common types being low voltage and high voltage cables. Low voltage cables are commonly used to supply energy to homes, commercial buildings, and small industrial facilities. High-voltage cables are mainly used to transport energy to large industries, public facilities and urban power grids. These cables generally consist of one or more conductors, insulation, sheathing and protective layers.
The core component of Power Cable is the conductor. High-quality copper or aluminum are usually used as conductor materials because of their good electrical conductivity and ability to conduct electricity. The larger the cross-sectional area of a conductor, the greater its ability to carry current. Large industrial and power grid systems often require larger cross-sectional areas to meet high power demands.
The insulation layer is an important part of the Power Cable and is used to wrap the conductor to prevent the leakage of current and provide protection for the transmission of current. Common insulation materials include polyethylene, cross-linked polyethylene, rubber and insulating oil. Different materials have different insulation properties and are suitable for different voltage levels and environmental conditions. The jacket is the outer protective layer of Power Cable and is used to resist damage to the cable from the external environment and protect the insulation layer. Jackets are usually made of wear-, pressure- and chemical-resistant materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or rubber. Different application areas may require specific types of sheath materials to ensure safe and stable operation of cables under various conditions.
To prevent short circuits, leakage, and damage, Power Cables may also be equipped with protective coatings. The protective layer usually consists of metal braiding, metal tape or metal foil to provide additional electromagnetic shielding and mechanical protection. This is especially important for cables operating in high-interference environments.

How to connect the piping for kitchen sinks
A sink is an important part of an attractive and useful kitchen. There are many different models in a variety of materials and colors, but all sinks have a faucet to supply hot and cold water and a drain to send wastewater to the sewer system. Once the sink is embedded in the countertop and the raw installation - usually done by professionals - it is time to connect these parts together. The raw installation consists of 1.25 cm hot and cold water pipes that end at shut-off valves, and a 3.75 cm drain pipe that usually comes off a wall under the sink.
Water lines
Connect the water lines with flexible tubing, either plastic or braided steel, with compression fittings at each end; these have a sleeve inside that expands when the nut is tightened to seal the connection. Attach one end of each pipe to the shutoff valve and the other end to the end pipe from the faucet under the sink.
Measure the distance from the shutoff valve to the faucet with a tape measure to determine the correct length. Match the size and type of nuts to the shutoff and faucet; CPVC pipes and copper pipes may require different connections. Use the lines at the faucet if they are already attached; some manufacturers connect the lines at the faucet at the factory.
Tighten the union nuts by hand until they cannot be turned, then tighten them with two wrenches. Use one wrench to hold the shutoff valve in place and the other to tighten the union nut. Wrap the threads of metal piping with tape; CPVC piping does not require tape to seal.
Attach a tee to the hot water shutoff valve if the sink is connected to a dishwasher. Connect another line to the tee to connect the water supply to the dishwasher water inlet, also with union nuts on the hose.
Double sink with drain
Install drain lines on a double sink with waste disposal using a PVC waste disposal installation kit from a plumbing or hardware store. Read the installation instructions carefully; they explain the specific attachments for the kit, which has a vertical opening for the sink drain, a horizontal pipe for the disposal, and a tee in the middle for attaching a P-trap leading to the main drain.
Place the vertical pipe opening of the installation kit on the sink drain end pipe and the horizontal opening on the other end of the drain, with the tee in the center. Align the tee with the main drain line in the wall and mark the straight pipes with a felt-tip pen to cut them to fit; you may need to cut the pipes between the tee and the sink and drain connections and the vertical pipe to make them fit.

What is the difference between frequency conversion cables and ordinary cables?
The frequency conversion MV ABC cable has relatively strong pressure resistance and impact resistance, can withstand the pulse voltage of high-speed and frequent frequency conversion, and has a good protective effect on frequency conversion electrical appliances. It is mainly used to connect variable frequency power supply and variable frequency motor, and is widely used in papermaking, metallurgy, metal processing, railway, food processing and other fields. So, what is the difference between such frequency conversion cables and ordinary cables?
Shielding structure The frequency conversion cable generally adopts the overall shielding structure, mainly including copper ribbon combined shielding, copper ribbon shielding, copper wire braided shielding, etc., all of which have a certain proportion. This design can make the frequency conversion cable have better anti-electromagnetic induction, and can also resist the main interference of the power conduction signal, and can reduce the inductance to a certain extent, so that the induced electromotive force is too large. It can be prevented. The shielding layer can also play the role of suppressing the outward emission of electromagnetic waves and protect the wire core. The shielding layer of ordinary cables does not have this function, and the ability to resist trunk line interference is weak.
Electrical performance Frequency conversion cables can increase the capacity and inductance performance requirements on the basis of ordinary cables, and the electrical performance can be designed according to actual use requirements to make the cables more suitable for use conditions and save some intermediate components.
Manufacturing technology In the process of manufacturing cables and cables, compared with ordinary cables, frequency conversion cables need to go through insulated core extrusion and cabling process, the former directly affects the electrical performance of the cable, so in order to improve the performance, we use high-quality materials, in the technology In the manufacturing, great attention is paid to the purification of raw materials, to ensure that the extrusion process is rigorous and rigorous, and to ensure that the insulation eccentricity and insulation outer diameter must be controlled consistently. Further improve the electrical performance of frequency conversion cables. Four, cable symmetry Frequency conversion cables must be designed with a symmetrical structure. Ordinary cables are generally shielded by three insulated core copper tapes, while frequency conversion cables use copper wires pushed into the phase-separated sheath and then symmetrically penetrated into the cable, which has better interchangeability, electromagnetic compatibility and stronger anti-interference ability. In addition to introducing the difference between frequency conversion cables and ordinary cables in detail, it can be seen that the performance advantages of frequency conversion cables are not only significant, but also can greatly reduce the harm of electromagnetic radiation. .

outer conductor of the cable
MV ABC cable
The outer conductor (shielding layer), the outer conductor of the coaxial cable has a dual function. It is used as a wire of the transmission circuit, transmits low level, and has a shielding effect. The outer conductor usually has 3 structures. (1) Metal tubular. This structure is welded longitudinally with copper or aluminum strips, or extruded and drawn seamless copper tubes. This structure has the best shielding performance, but poor flexibility, and is often used in trunk cables. (2) Lap joint of aluminum-plastic composite tape longitudinally. This structure has a good shielding effect and low manufacturing cost, but since the outer conductor is a circular tube with longitudinal slits, electromagnetic waves will pass through the slits and leak, so it should be used with caution. (3) Combination of braided mesh and aluminum-plastic composite tape longitudinally. This is developed from a single braided mesh structure. It has the characteristics of good flexibility, light weight and reliable joints. Experiments have proved that the use of a reasonable composite structure can greatly improve the shielding performance. At present, this structure is used. Used a lot.

CCTV stands for closed-circuit television, a system that allows you to monitor what is happening in and around your house or office. Cameras and monitors will enable you to see events live and save the footage for later use. CCTV cameras can help you track what is happening at the location where they are mounted. These security cameras may be helpful for residential and business uses.
At MVIKAS, we genuinely believe in providing the most satisfactory customer experience possible, from educating you on the proper purchase to giving the best choice of items to ensure you receive precisely what you're looking for. In this section, we'll go over the must-have accessories for CCTV security systems.
TYPES OF CCTV ACCESSORIES
CCTV CABLE AND WIRE
CCTV, or Closed-Circuit Television, uses video cameras to relay signals to a specific location. CCTV is primarily used for surveillance, with crime prevention, safety, monitoring, and crime resolution goals in mind. We require a copper conductor of at least 95% pure copper for CCTV cameras. And buy a cable with a solid electrolytic grade of 99.97 per cent pure copper, which is made in-house and is ideal for CCTV cameras.
A CCTV cable system includes a variety of instruments and components. It is critical to purchase the appropriate CCTV cables and wires to connect and attach cameras to a CCTV digital video recorder.
CO-AXIAL CABLE
Coaxial cable, often known as coax, is a form of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield separated by a dielectric (insulating substance); an outer sheath or jacket also protects several coaxial wires. The inner conductor and outer shield share a geometric axis, which is coaxial. It is a transmission line used to transport high-frequency electrical signals with little loss.
The coaxial cable transmits electrical signals by utilizing an inner conductor (often a solid copper, stranded copper, or copper plated steel wire) surrounded by an insulating layer and all contained by a shield, which usually is one to four layers of woven metallic braid and metallic tape.
CCTV 5MP
Because of their higher resolution, 5MP security cameras provide superior clarity than lower megapixel cameras. For example, a 5MP security camera will almost certainly be twice as clear as a 2MP (1080p) camera. If you want to record little things from a distance in high clarity, security cameras with 5MP resolution are the ideal option. You have a certain budget and a medium-sized business or residential area to record, with the following qualities:
Video compression of H.264
Up to 4CIF resolution non-real-time recording
Output: HDMI and VGA
Resolution of 1920 x 1080P
Dual-stream
CCTV 5MP BULLET
CCTV 5MP BULLET is manufactured by D-LINK and is available at MVIKAS at a reasonable price. It is a refundable product; nonetheless, it is highly recommended at a reasonable price. The major advantages of bullet cameras are their range and ease of installation. Because bullet cameras have a greater range, they are perfect for observing big areas such as backyards and parking lots.
Bullet cameras are also easy to install; because of their design, larger lenses may be attached to their bodies.
DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER
CCTV video recorders are electrical devices that process video signals received from CCTV cameras and save the footage on storage media such as a hard drive or in the cloud. The CCTV DVR may capture video pictures in your house, business, or other locations. The videos may be replayed and stored, along with the time, date, and place. It provides for the most efficient use of disc space.
CCTV cameras will not only serve as a strong deterrent and make your workplace safer, but they can also ensure that any such heinous crimes are caught in the act. In court, such CCTV video can also assist you in formulating the proper answer in the event of litigation. Moving to digital recording for behavioural work offers obvious advantages, including improved storage capacity.
There is no need to purchase video tapes; quick search by date, time, or event; higher-quality digital images; and the option to view research locations remotely through an Internet connection.
CLOUR CAMP BULLET
Clour camp bullet surveillance cameras can often accommodate a bigger lens due to their physical shape, making them good outdoor cameras capable of offering better clarity levels over extended distances. This also allows for better night vision in bigger outdoor locations like parking lots and traffic junctions. Practically all IP cameras can capture colour video at night (require manual settings).
However, the image sensors directly impact video quality and distinguish colour night vision security cameras from normal ones.
SMPS (SWITCH MODE POWER SUPPLY)
A switched-mode power supply (switching-mode power supply, switched power supply, SMPS, or switcher) is an electronic power supply that integrates a switching regulator to convert electrical power effectively. A switched-mode power supply (SMPS) is an electrical circuit that transforms electricity by switching devices on and off at high frequencies. Storage components like inductors or capacitors can provide power while the switching device is not conducting.
It comprises several inductors, capacitors, and semiconductors like diodes and MOSFETs. It converts alternating current to direct current, and we utilize it instead of a power/supply adaptor to improve efficiency. It is essential in all electrical devices (like mobile chargers, PC power supplies, etc.). It operates on a semiconductor switch type MOSFET to regulate the output voltage by switching on and off the supply voltage at a specific switching frequency.
DOME CAMERA
Dome cameras are used to house cameras and are named for their dome-shaped construction. These security cameras are built to resist all weather conditions indoors and out. Because of the built-in infrared LEDs, the camera can operate even in low-light or no-light conditions. Dome security cameras are distinguished by their circular, dome-shaped enclosure. Dome security cameras are adaptable and may be utilized indoors and outdoors, offering unprecedented coverage for almost any use case.
Most dome cameras are used for interior and outdoor security and surveillance. Because of the camera's sturdy construction, many companies, including hotels, restaurants, and retail outlets, utilize dome cameras.
CONCLUSION
MVIKAS offers a comprehensive range of CCTV accessories that are long-lasting and sturdy. They are inexpensive and straightforward to use in the office and at home. This post was originally published here:
