How Automatic Watches Work

admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 22:24:22 +0000

Whatever Happened to Winding?

Depending on your age, you may or may not remember seeing your father wind his watch each night before going to bed. If he did not, he would surely wake to a watch that had stopped. Those days became history with the advent of the automatic watch. What makes it automatic? It still has the same basic mechanism to keep the watch working, but how that mechanism is powered changed the way we cared for our watches.

All mechanical watches work in a similar manner. They require a movement of a series of gears to “tick” of increments of time, which in turn registers as movements of the hands on the face of the watch. A rotor in the watch sits on a staff in the middle of the watch’s movement. It rotates in a circular motion and winds the mainspring which is the source of power in mechanical watches. With an automatic watch the winding of this spiral spring is done automatically with any arm or wrist movement.

Self-winding, automatic watches work great for people who wear the watch each day, but if you do not wear the watch frequently, it needs manual winding about twice a week. Even automatic watches will stay working better if they are wound manually about once every two weeks because this helps keep the watch lubricated. It is a misconception that automatic watches never need any winding, since it all depends on the movement of the arm to keep it functioning well.

A power reserve lets the movement of your watch keep time for anywhere between 10 and 72 hours. There is something called a power reserve, and the bigger the reserve, the longer your automatic watch will keep running without further movement or manual winding.

Rolex was the first watch manufacturer to devise and patent the rotor system that is still used today. They called it the Perpetual and it was part of the popular Oyster line created in the early 1930s. Emile Borer was the Rolex technician who came up with the system, but he was not the first to develop a rotor. That distinction goes to Swiss watchmaker, Abraham-Louis Perrelet as long ago as 1770. This was quite the invention because it wouldn’t be until much later in time that wrist watches were worn and there just wasn’t enough physical movement with a pocket watch to make it a feasible way to move the rotor and wind the mainspring.

Automatic watches are also quite affordable watches. They actually come in every price range. Some economical brands include Invicta watch and Orient watch, and then the price can reach into the very expensive range depending on the embellishments or the prestige of a specific brand.

Piracy Can’t Be Controlled by Speed Limits, Says Carphone CEO

admin — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:44:32 +0000

The government recently announced plans to curb online piracy by limiting the broadband speeds of offenders, which is to be published in the final Digital Britain report. However, the plan has received a less than enthusiastic response from the CEO of Carphone Warehouse, Charles Dunstone, who called the authorities pushing for the measures ‘nave’.

Speaking to The Guardian, Dunstone said that illegal downloading was too pervasive be to be stopped by such simplistic schemes. Rather, what is needed is for the government to educate internet users about respecting copyrighted material and introduce a way for them to access content legally and at moderate prices - click for info on cheapest broadband.

Measures taken by politicians to curb the problem, such as passing legislation was ’stupid’ as users would inevitably find alternative ways to conceal their downloaded material and shared content, Dunstone said. He added that it was foolish to blame peer-to-peer networks alone for the rampant piracy.

Comparing the situation to a game of cat and mouse, akin to the cartoon characters of Tom and Jerry, Dunstone said that in this case, it was the government who was the hapless cat, never succeeding in catching the mouse.

Dunstone’s statements come on the heels of the release of Carphone Warehouse

Learning How To Have Fun, Or Having Fun While Learning

admin — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:40:34 +0000

Everybody wants their young ones to grow up with a good education to establish not only a great career, but also to bequeath them a good understanding of the planet to give them good life skills. However, there seems to be this unending struggle of tearing your minors away from their playthings or the television in order to get them to get on with their homework. In schoolhouses it would appear that the enjoyment is removed from learning, so little wonder children find themselves bored. There is a solution however! Instead of this uncalled-for detachment of studying and playing, it’s far more effective to merge the two up and make learning fun again.

Children will learn a lot more when they either see a pragmatic purpose as to why they’re learning a particular lesson, OR if studying is simply enjoyable.

An example: hand the youngsters 26 blocks, representing 26 letters from the alphabet. Then tell them to build a tower from the blocks that spells out a particular word. They’re having fun and trying to make block pillars not crash while learning to spell.

These days, it’s now widely understood that once you present a subject to a child in a fun way (for example geography), youngsters are more amenable to becoming interested in it later on in life. If the alternative is to simply make them to go to a class, have them face a chalkboard, and tell them to listen to the instructor waffling on, the chances are you’re causing daydreams rather than inculcating interest in the subject.

In terms of toys, what to get the kids? These days there’s a huge range of toys. Always bear in mind that kids have fun playing with practically anything, even bubble wrap! So anything from educational toys to computer games, as long as the emphasis is on learning and encouraging your kids to become more inquisitive (which encourages self-learning).

House by the River

admin — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 07:06:02 +0000

Living in a house next to the river can for the most part be fun. The benefits are that you have access to the water. With the water there can be all kinds of creatures and nature that can make life better. You can have frogs and crickets that make noises at night that make sleep a lot better. You can have a boat dock and a boat out on the river. When you want to go out fishing or something you can simply hop on the boat with your rod and real and go out to your favorite spot and catch fish. You can do other water sports on the river too, such as wake boarding or water skiing; you have to be in very great physical shape to do these healthy activities. Simply by having a house by the river you can get in good health. Just as long as you eat healthy in your house and use the river as a place to do your hobbies and keep life fun.

There is something that we should review about the house by the river, and that is if the water level rises. You want to make sure that you have a house that is above the water level by a good enough distance so if the water does rise up you can be alright.

Outdoor Water Fountains

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 05:03:29 +0000

Lately, we answered a spate of interrogations from primary schools with regards to our drinking water fountains. The first inquiry was from a schoolhouse in Lincoln who are looking to be in a position to supply drinking water for all students in each schoolroom. The Victorian primary school was looking to replace worn-out sinks in each class with a smooth wall mounted fountain sink. This simple unit has compact proportions and only has a bubbler for children to guzzle from. With wall mounted sinks the drinking water comes straight from the mains supply, is excreted through a water filter if commanded and flows out of the bubbler when a small button is pushed. The basicmodel of wall mounted sink has no chilling unit and therefore the water comes out of the bubbler at mains water temperature. The second inquiry was for an outdoor freestanding water fountain for the middle of a childrens leisure field. There are many fountains made in the UK that are fit for big usage outward environs. We managed to find three particular fountains that accommodated the remitand one that has been specifically conditioned for a primary school where the drinking area is at 800mm rather than the 1 metre suited to adults.

Easy ways to get Traffic to your Website

admin — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:56:40 +0000

Need traffic but can’t afford the advertising costs? Here are a few different ways of getting more traffic:

1. One of the easiest and most effective is by printing car bumper stickers with your website name on them. Many people don’t think about this because it’s not web related, but proves itself time and time again (remember,the rear bumper!)

2. Get creative - if you have photo editing software, create some funny pictures and submit them to humour sites with your website url on them. Email them to your friends. If they’re funny enough, they’ll spread like wildfire.

3. Look into buying sites which already have traffic coming in. Then you can either merge your website with theirs or give yourself a prominent link on the front page. You can buy some sites for as little as $20, perhaps with 100 visitors a day.

4. Write articles. Write about what you know, it’ll come easier to you. Then submit that article to as many ezine providers as possible and you have a link back to your site for every instance of your article that exists online.

5. Create a Blog. Blogger.com offers free blogs, where you can rant or rave about anything you want, and throw in a couple of links to your sites here and there. You can quickly develop a large audience if you regularly update your blog.

6. Optimise your site for the search engines. Learn how to use meta tags for keywords and content. Aim for less competitive keywords. If you own a poker site, dont optimise for the word poker, you can never compete with the big dogs, go for something more obscure like carribean poker, or home poker games.

7. Avoid link exchanges. Every link you have on your site to a lower ranked site than yours reduces your search engine ranking.

8. Write quality content. People will soon come to your site if you have something they need.

9. Submit to free directories (different to search engines) like dmoz.org. They can give your website a bit of clout with google and yahoo.

10. Keep at it. Dont give up. There’s no better feeling than watching your website traffic ratings grow.
