Specialty Definition: Girl Guides

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Girl Guides (known as Girl Scouts in some countries) is a youth organisation for girls and young women.

It was founded as the female version of Lord Robert Baden-Powell's Boy Scouts, on March 12, 1912. In September, 1908, a number of girls turned up to the first Scout Rally at Crystal Palace, calling themselves Girl Scouts. Lord Baden-Powell set up the Girl Guides as a parallel movement for them, run by his sister Agnes Baden-Powell. While Agnes played a major role until her death, Lord Baden-Powell's wife, Lady Olave Baden-Powell, became Chief Guide of England in 1918, and World Chief Guide in 1930.

The Girl Guides were named after the famous corps of guides in India. Baden-Powell thought that to call them Scouts might alienate the boys, not to mention the girls' parents!

As girls are now allowed to join the Scouts in Britain, Guide numbers are declining there.

In Britain, the junior age range of guides are called Brownies. In Canada, the Guides are divided into multiple programmes depending on age: Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders.

Further details and history of the Guides can be found in the section on Scouting.

Guide

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The term "guide" refers to an agency for directing or showing the way, specifically a person who leads or directs a stranger over unknown or unmapped country, or conducts travellers and tourists through a town, or over buildings of interest.

Etymology

The word guide (Middle English gyde, derives from the from the French guide; and ultimately from the earlier French form guie (English “guy”). The /d/ sound originates with the Italian form guida; the word probably ultimately derives from the Teutonic, having connections with the base seen in Old English witan (to know).

Military Usages

In European wars up to the time of the French Revolution, the absence of large-scale detailed maps made local guides almost essential to the direction of military operations, and in the 18th century the general tendency to the stricter organization of military resources led in various countries to the special training of guide officers (called Feldjäger, and considered as general staff officers in the Prussian army), who had the primary duty of finding, and if necessary establishing, routes across country for those parts of the army that had to move parallel to the main road and as nearly as possible at deploying interval from each other, for in those days armies rarely spread out so far as to have the use of two or more made roads.

But the necessity for such precautions died away when adequate surveys (in which guide officers were, at any rate in Kingdom of Prussia, freely employed) became available, and, as a definite term of military organization to-day, “guide” possesses no more essential peculiarity than "fusilier", "grenadier" or "rifleman". The genesis of the modern “ Guide” regiments is perhaps to be found in a short-lived Corps of Guides formed by Napoleon in Italy in 1796, which appears to have been a personal escort or body guard composed of men who knew the country.

In the Belgian army the Guide regiments came to correspond almost to the Guard cavalry of other nations; in the Swiss army the squadrons of “Guides” act as divisional cavalry, and in this role doubtless are called upon on occasion to lead columns. The “Queen’s own Corps of Guides” of the Indian army consisted of infantry companies and cavalry squadrons.

In drill, a “guide “ is an officer or non-commissioned officer told off to regulate the direction and pace of movements, the remainder of the unit maintaining their alignment and distances by him.

Mountaineering

A particular class of guides are those employed in mountaineering; these are not merely to show the way but stand in the position of professional climbers with an expert knowledge of rock and snowcraft, which they impart to the amateur, at the same time assuring the safety of the climbing party in dangerous expeditions. This professional class of guides arose in the middle of the 19th century when Alpine climbing became recognized as a sport. It is thus natural to find that the Alpine guides have been requisitioned for mountaineering expeditions all over the world. In climbing in Switzerland, the central committee of the Swiss Alpine Club issues a guides’ tariff which fixes the charges for guides and porters; there are three sections, for the Valais and Vaudois Alps, for the Bernese Oberland, and for central and eastern Switzerland. The names of many of the great guides have become historical. In Chamonix a statue has been raised to Jacques Balmat, who was the first to climb Mont Blanc in 1786. Of the more famous guides since the beginning of Alpine climbing may be mentioned Auguste Balmat, Michel Cros, Maquignay, J. A. Carrel, who went with E. Whymper to the Andes, the brothers Lauener, Christian Almer and Jakob and Melchior Anderegg.

Other Usages

The word "guide" can also refer to a book or document, in the sense of an elementary primer on some subject, or of one giving full information for travellers of a country, district or town.

In mechanical usage, the term "guide" has widespread applications, being used of anything which steadies or directs the motion of an object, as of the “leading” screw of a screw-cutting lathe, of a loose pulley used to steady a driving-belt, or of the bars or rods in a steam-engine which keep the sliding blocks moving in a straight line. The doublet “guy “ is thus used of a rope which steadies a sail when it is being raised or lowered, or of a rope, chain or stay supporting an object such as a funnel, mast, derrick or tent.

Guide (hypertext)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Guide was a hypertext system originally developed by Peter Brown at the University of Kent in 1982. The original Guide implementation was for Three Rivers PERQ workstations running Unix. The Guide system was also the first hypertext system to be sold commercially, starting with the formation of Office Workstations Ltd. in 1984.

Unlike most hypertext systems, the main link mechanism in Guide is based on replacement, meaning that when following a link, the current node breaks open, making room for the destination node. The anchor of the link is replaced by the contents of the destination node. One can close the destination node, which means that it is once again replaced by the text of the anchor. Thus, the basic method of navigation using Guide was the expansion button, in which a section was replaced when selected and in which an expansion would provide additional levels of detail. This allowed the user, whether they were a document author or a reader, to expand and contract a document, viewing the desired level at any time, not unlike viewing methods used in Adobe Acrobat files. Using this method means that the structure of the document must be strictly hierarchical.

Guide supported pop-ups for small annotations, and so-called jumps, which behave like the follow-link operation in most hypertexts (as in van Dam's FRESS system). The jumps allow for the creation of non-hierarchical links.

In September 1986, Guide was ported to the Apple Macintosh, and in July 1987, a Microsoft Windows version was made available.

Guide dog

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Guide dogs are dogs that are especially selected and trained to guide the blind. The first training schools were established in Germany in the years 1911-1918, the United States in 1929 (The Seeing Eye), and the British Guide Dog Association was founded in 1931.

Guide dogs are a type of assistance dog.

Guide dogs are raised by families whose job is to socialize them properly, including obedience training. When they reach adulthood, they are given special training as guide dogs. The training course takes approximately four months.

Among the most-used breeds for this work are German shepherds (Alsatians), Labradors, and Golden retrievers.
