	Junk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because junk cars are a source for scrap metal spare parts, they're often sold to a junk yard, where they are typically stacked (or strewn) about a large enclosure, sometimes guarded by a "junkyard dog".
		Junk characters in electronic text can be caused by transmission errors (line noise) and often appear as groups of "strange" letters like punctuation or accented letters.
		Junk is a song written by Paul McCartney which was featured in his first solo album McCartney.

		By choosing the simplicity, stability and capacity of a single hull whose length was roughly three-times its beam, draft half the beam, the Chinese set a standard for shipbuilding unmatched in the West until the late 16th century.
		Our trimaran tacks through 90 degrees; the junks we pursued managed to get around within 100 degrees, This is a weatherly as many cruising ketches, and far superior to the 130-degree tacking angle of square-riggers at the height of their development.
		There are skewed junks whose oddly twisted bows mimic dangerous river bends, barge-like junks meant to be dismantled after a single river passage, offshore fishing versions with outboard catwalks, modified to handle nets or lines.

	What About The Junk Rig?
		Reefing: The ease of reefing a junk rig is legendary.
		For example, the junk rig would be a perfect companion to a vessel like the 50' trawler Renegade as we see here...
		Proportion: The junk sail drawing shown at the top of this page is very generic, and is intended primarily as a schematic of a four batten junk (upper yard and boom not included in the batten count).

	Chinese Shanties
		Although the standard of cleanliness is, perforce, not high, the women on board seem to spend most of their time washing clothes, since they can obtain an unlimited supply of water from over the side, which is not often the case on shore.
		These boats are not necessarily inhabited by junk folk, but very often by ordinary working-class families who cannot afford to pay the high rents obtaining ashore.
		When a junk has been caught by the Yangtze Water Police in illegal practices, such as slipping past tax stations, smuggling, or other offences, it sometimes suffers the extreme penalty, which is to be sawn in half and exposed, erected on end, on the riverbank, where it serves as a mournful object lesson to others.

	Cranks with Planks
		Actually, if one were to liken it to a bird, a duck would be a better choice, for it is squat in appearance, with a turned-up tail, and rides the river like a duck.
		This type of boat is sometimes called the Ningpo sampan, and has many features in common with the Ningpo junk, such as the shape of the bow and stern, the free-flooding foremost compartment, the standard pattern of gaudy design, and, sometimes, the oculus.
		With the exception of the eye, which may or may not be present, these sampans are most markedly uniform in every particular, for all are of identical construction and size.

		The largest of the junks were said to be over 400 feet long and 150 feet wide.
		Had the Chinese emperors continued their huge investments in the treasure fleets, there is little reason why they, rather than the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and British, should not have colonized the world.
		When the Han Chinese overthrew the Mongols and founded the Ming dynasty in the later 14th century, they took over the fleet and an already extensive trade network.

		Mr Yaneza said English is seen as the language of business and something that Chinese people are keen to be familiar with, hence their willingness to click on unsolicited messages.
		Chinese people are also less likely to pick out the scrambled spelling, such as V1agra, that to many Westerners signifies spam.
		Mr Yaneza said Chinese spam was about free loans for schooling or further education, learning a language or to help someone expand their business.
