Shear legs to the gin pole, derrick and tripod (lifting device). Shears are an A-frame of any kind of material such as timbers or metal, the feet resting on or in the ground or on a solid surface which will not let them move and the top held in place with guy-wires or guy ropes simply called "guys".

Fixed shear legs are most commonly found on floating cranes known as floating sheerlegs.
Starfish Project Starfish Project The Starfish Project is a UK-based not-for-profit therapy programme which helps people who stammer or stutter to overcome their speech through the use of diaphragmatic breathing (also known as "costal breathing"). The programme also teaches participants to reassess negative emotions surrounding their stammering through the use of avoidance reduction therapy (see stuttering therapy). Participants attend a three-day residential course near Hailsham in the UK during which a diaphragmatic breathing technique and non-avoidance strategies are taught. Following this initial course, participants are able to attend additional follow-up courses at the same venue without charge from the Starfish Project as
