	Therblig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A therblig is the name for one of a set of fundamental motions required for a worker to perform a manual operation or task.
		The Therblig is used in the study of motion economy in the workplace.
		A workplace task is analyzed by recording each of the Therblig units for a process, with the results used for optimization of manual labor by eliminating unneeded movements.

	The Gilbreth Network: Therbligs
		Therbligs comprise a system for analyzing the motions involved in performing a task.
		While the concept of the Therblig was born around 1908, it was constantly being refined and tested, as a tool; a very powerful tool.
		This Therblig is a non-productive one, and as such, should be kept to a minimum.

		In micromotion study, a therblig is the very basic division of human movement.
		One therblig, for example, could be a man reaching for a U-bolt.
		Ineffective therbligs do not directly advance the progress of the work and should try to be eliminated or combined with another therblig to shorten the operation.

	Armchair World: On Technology and the Human Factor - the therblig (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The therblig notation evolved from the observation of human movement.
		These actions were called "therbligs" using the approximately reverse spelling of the name of their developer, Gilbreth.
		The idea was first reported in about 1919 and with some adjustments and minimal modifications has stood up as a usable model to the present time.

		Therbligs are constituent motions into which tasks can be analyzed.
		Therbligs reminded me of Roger Schank's script theory with its 20 or so semantic primitives like PTRANS.
		Other famous backwards words are Nacirema (from an anthropological article by Horace Miner) and Erewhon (from the book of the same name by Samuel Butler).

		Therblig, did you miss the part where I talk of AMERICAN muslims.
		It's not a question of whether we should, it's a question of whether the current administration's policies are consistent with the rhetoric, and, even if the policies are consistent, whether the policy might succeed.
		However, Therblig is spot on, it's all a matter of trust, and Bush just doesn't command enough of it.

		This module counts the number of *therbligs* used to write mobile text messages.
		A therblig is unit used to measure the number of actions (in this case keypresses or pauses) for people who like to optimize industrial processes.
		So you can use this module to determine useless facts such as that it takes as many keypresses to write "later" or "great" as it does "l8r" and "gr8".

		Example 1 Motion Classes Each therblig or basic division can be further explained by the use of motion classes.
		When the analyst is trying to improve the operation, a rule of thumb is to try to lower the motion class whenever it is possible.
		Example 2 Classifications of Motion Each therblig or basic division can be further explained in terms of motion classes.

		To many in this period, breast feeding women became cow-like, and only through the imposition of strict schedules, "breast management techniques," and/or artificial feeding could they live up to the machine-like ideal in caring for their babies ("mothers").
		"The Therblig and the Wink: Industrializing the Body through Micromotion Study" discusses the use of photographic technologies as a means of rationalizing the body of the industrial worker during the Progressive era.
		The paper focuses on industrial consultants Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, who began photographing and filming industrial workers in 1912 in order to isolate individual movements, which could then be reconfigured to model the "one best way" to perform a given task.

		Mina is about a year old, maybe a little older, and the kittens (Sophie and Therblig -- don't laugh!) are about thirteen weeks now.
		Anyway, what happened was, since the kittens were sick with calicivirus, I adopted Mina first and had her by herself for a week, at which time she was spayed.
		You can see Mina and an earlier version of her belly in these pictures, primarily the third and fourth shots down on the page.

	"Blade Runner" by Douglas Kellner, Flo Leibowitz, and Michael Ryan
		“The ‘therblig’ is the ultimate attempt to turn man into machine: his unique concrete capacities into optimal standard labour.
		It is difficult to argue for the variety of modern labour in the face of the ‘therblig.’ In its robotisation of a ten-thousandth of a minute, capitalism shows us its desire to make robots of us all — all of the time.
		Nightmare visions of futuristic societies, or dystopias, are a major 1970s science fiction genre and stand as signs of a crisis in U.S. ideology.
