Examples:

"After years of office work, she decided to try her hand at pottery."

"I thought I'd try my hand at writing poetry this weekend."

"They're trying their hands at digital photography to capture stunning landscapes."

"Why not try your hand at gardening? It's quite relaxing."

Partridge quotes a paraphrase by Wilfred Granville, "Dictionary of Theatrical Terms" (1952): "Stalk your prey carefully; or, generally, to achieve an object by quiet application."

Nowadays, it seems that everything we do tends to be somehow automated. The very same is happening in electrical distribution systems. The distribution system at the medium voltage (MV) or low voltage (LV) levels is designed using different structures such... Read more
