Holstein Friesians (often shortened as holstein) are abreedofcattleknown today as the world\'s highest-production dairy animals. Originating inEurope, Friesians were bred in what is now theNetherlandsand more specifically in the two northern provinces ofNorthHollandandFriesland, andnorthernGermany, more specifically what is nowSchleswig-Holstein. The animals were the regional cattle of theFrisiansand theSaxons. The Dutch breeders bred and oversaw the development of the breed with the goal of obtaining animals that could best use grass, the area\'s most abundant resource. Over the centuries, the result was a high-producing, black-and-white dairy cow. It is black and white due to artificial selection by the breeders.
With the growth of the New World markets began to develop for milk inNorthAmerica, and dairy breeders turned to the Netherlands for theirlivestock. After about 8,800 Friesians (black pied Germans) had been imported, disease problems in Europe led to the cessation of imports to theUnitedStates.
In Europe, the breed is used for milk in the north, and meat in the south. Since 1945, European national development has led to cattle breeding and dairy products becoming increasingly regionalized. More than 80% of dairy production is to be found to the north of a line joiningBordeauxandVenice, where more than 60% of the total cattle numbers are found. This change led to the need for specialized animals for dairy (and beef) production. Until this time, milk and beef had been produced from dual-purpose animals. The breeds, national derivatives of the Dutch Friesian, had become very different animals from those developed by breeders in the United States, who used Holsteins only for dairy production.
Breeders imported specialized dairy Holsteins from the United States to cross with the European black and whites. For this reason, in modern usage, \"Holstein\" is used to describe North American stock and its use in Europe, particularly in the North. \"Friesian\" denotes animals of a traditional European ancestry, bred for both dairy and beef use. Crosses between the two are described by the term \"Holstein-Friesian\".
Some Interesting Facts about Pigs...Apigis any of the animals in thegenusSus, within theSuidaefamilyofeven-toedungulates. Pigs include thedomesticpig, its ancestor thewildboar, and several other wild relatives. Pigs areomnivoresand are highly social and intelligent animals.With around 1 billion individuals alive at any time, thedomesticatedpig is one of the most numerous large mammals on the planet.The ancestor of the domesticated pig is thewildboar, which is one of the most numerous and widespread large mammals. Its many subspecies are native to all but the harshest climes of continentalEurasiaand its islands andAfricaas well, from Ireland and India to Japan and north to Siberia. Although it has been exterminated in some areas, its numbers are stable or even increasing rapidly, in most of its native range.Long isolated from other pigs on the many islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, pigs have evolved into many different species, including wild boar, bearded pigs, and warty pigs. Humans have introduced pigs into Australia, North and South America, and numerous islands, either accidentally as escaped domestic pigs which have goneferal, or as wild boar. These have typically adapted well, and are increasing in number and broadening their range outside human control.Pigs have beendomesticatedsinceancienttimesin theOldWorld. Archaeological evidence suggests that pigs were being managed in the wild in a way similar to the way they are managed by some modern New Guineans from wild boar as early as 13,000–12,700BPin theNearEastin the Tigris Basin.Remains of pigs have been dated to earlier than 11,400 BP in Cyprus that must have been introduced from the mainland which suggests domestication in the adjacent mainland by then.A separate domestication also occurred in China.In India, pigs have been domesticated since a long time mostly inGoaand someruralareasforpigtoilets. This was also done in China. Though ecologically logical as well as economical, pig toilets are waning in popularity as use ofseptictanksand/orseweragesystem is increasing in rural areas.Pigs were brought to south Eastern North America from Europe byHernandodeSotoand other early Spanish explorers. Pigs are particularly valued in China and on certain oceanic islands, where their self-sufficiency allows them to be turned loose, although the practice is not without its drawbacks. With managed rotational grazing techniques pigs can be raised in an Environmentally sound manner on pasture much like grazing sheep, goats and cows without high grain inputs.The domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) is usually given thescientificnameSus scrofa, although some authors call itS. domesticus, reservingS. scrofafor thewildboar. It was domesticated approximately 5,000 to 7,000 years ago. Their coats are coarse and bristly. They are born brownish coloured and tend to turn more grayish coloured with age. The uppercaninesform sharp distinctivetusksthat curve outward and upward. Compared to other artiodactyles, their head is relatively long, pointed, and free ofwarts. Their head and body length ranges from 0.9 to 1.8 m (35 to 71 in) and they can weigh between 50 and 350 kg (110 and 770 lb).Pigs are intelligentand can be trained to perform numerous tasks and tricks.Recently, they have enjoyed a measure of popularity as house pets, particularly the dwarf breeds.about Miniatures...
A figurine (a diminutive form of the wordfigure) is a statuette that represents a human,deityoranimal. Figurines may be realistic oriconic, depending on the skill and intention of the creator. The earliest were made of stone or clay. Modern versions are made of ceramic, metal, glass, wood and plastic. Figures with movable parts, allowing limbs to be posed, are more likely to be calleddolls,mannequins, oraction figures; orrobotsorautomata, if they can move on their own. Figurines andminiaturesare sometimes used inboard games, such aschess, and table toprole playing games. Old figurines have been used to discount some historical theories, such as theorigins of chess.
A miniature figure (also known as a miniature, mini, figure, or fig) is a small-scale representation of a historical or mythological entity used inminiature war games,role-playing games, anddioramas. Miniature figures are commonly made of metal, plastic, or paper. They are used to augment the visual aspects of a game and track position, facing, andline of sightof characters. Miniatures are typically painted and can be artfully sculpted, making them collectible in their own right. Pre-painted plastic figures, such asClixminiatures produced byWizKids, have also become popular. The hobby of painting, collecting, and playing with miniatures originated withtoy soldiers, though the latter were generallysold pre-painted. Traditionally, miniatures were cast inwhite metal, analloy of lead and tin. A small amount of antimony was sometimes added to improve the alloy\'s ability to take fine detail. In 1993, the New York legislature introduced a bill outlawing lead in miniatures, citing public health concerns. Many miniature manufacturers, anticipating that other states would also impose bans, began making figures with lead-free alloys, often at increased price. After months of debate and protests by miniature manufacturers and enthusiasts, New York GovernorMario Cuomosigneda bill which exempted miniatures from the state\'s Public Health Law. Despite this, most American manufacturers continued to use non-lead alloys. In addition to metal miniatures, manufacturers offer figures in plastic (polyethyleneor hardpolystyrene) andresin. Some war games usebox miniatures, consisting of card stock folded into simple cuboids with representative art printed on the outside. There are two basic methods of manufacturing figures: centrifugal/gravity casting andplastic injection casting.Most metal and resin figures are made throughspin casting. Larger resin models, like buildings and vehicles, are sometimes gravity cast, which is a slower process. To gravity cast, a sculptor develops a master figure, which is then used to create rubber master and production moulds. The production moulds are used to cast the final commercial are made by injection moulding. A machine heats plastic and injects it under high pressure into a steel mould. This is an expensive process; it is only cost effective when manufacturing large amounts of figures, since the quantity renders the cost per cast minimal. Many miniatures companies do not produce their figures themselves but leave the manufacture to specialised casting companies or miniatures companies that have casting facilities.
and Poly Resin...
Poly resin is aresincompound generally used forstatues,figurines, and decorativefurniture. It is a sturdy material that can be intricately moulded, allowing a great level of detail with consistent texture.
Additives can be incorporated into the compound to enhance the material\'s strength, reduce its weight, add heat stability, decorative effects, and so on. Poly resin is also compatible with a large range of different finishes, including paint and metallic finishes, which is why many decorative pieces are made from this material.
One form of poly resin often used isAlabastrite. It is a stone-based material, easyto sculpt, takes paint well, and has a similar appearance to porcelain and pottery.
