![]() 16520 in 2000 which used the Calibre 4130, the first automatic chronograph movement actually designed and manufactured in-house by Rolex. This arrangement remained in place for the next 12 years, when Rolex revealed the Daytona ref. ![]() The Daytona went automatic in 1988 after decades as a manual wind watch, by using (and modifying) Zenith’s El Primero high beat chronograph movement. The pricing too (which based on UK GBP pricing represents a 20% saving on what Rolex is asking for a Daytona should, by some miracle, you be able to grab one at list price) suggests Zenith wants to give you every reason to reconsider your desire for a Daytona. Actually given Zenith’s direct involvement in the evolution of the Rolex Daytona it’s quite right that Zenith should be a direct challenger in the market space. Rolex has no exclusive right to use the ceramic bezel and Zenith has more than enough history in the field of chronographs to do whatever it wants. The bezel is also a clear play for customers of the Rolex Daytona who are either languishing on waiting lists or considering paying the massive grey market mark-ups being asked for the model. Outside the watch features a black ceramic bezel etched with 1/10th second markings to make the most of the chronograph’s added precision, afforded by its higher frequency. Black and white dial options are available, with both featuring Zenith’s tri-color subdials which have served as an instantly recognizable feature of El Primero-based Zeniths since its inception in 1969. The 41mm steel model uses the 5Hz El Primero 3600, which has a power reserve of 60 hours and is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback revealing an open-worked rotor and a blue coated column wheel.

![]() “‘Cause I wanted to give you something special for our anniversary.” You bit your lip before standing up and opening your robe to show the black lace lingerie you were wearing. You didn’t want to tell him and ruin the surprise but you knew he had a way with cameras and could probably take a better picture of you then anything you could do. “And why don’t you want high res photos?” He ran his thumb over the crease in your forehead. “‘Cause yours is better… My phone and my camera are too high res, I like yours better.” You looked up at him with a pout. “And why are you using my camera instead of yours or your phone?” He chuckled and turned the setting on for you before handing it back. “I’m trying to remember how to do the black and white setting.” You huffed and just handed him the camera. He leaned down to kiss your cheek and ran his hands up and down your arms which were covered by the robe you had on. “Angel, what are you doing?” He chuckled as he walked up behind you. When Austin got home he found you with his camera trying to figure out how to set it for black and white. Eventually time won and it was the day before you were set to celebrate and you still hadn’t done the photos. The more you debated it the faster you ran out of time to book a session and get them done. You were starting to think you should just borrow Austin’s camera and take a few selfies and pray he appreciates the effort. ![]() You wanted to look great, and feel great about the pictures, so you wanted the VIP treatment which meant at least a thousand dollars for a one hour session. The one problem you had was how expensive even the basic packages were. With how obsessed he was with taking your picture you thought he would like this as a gift, so you started to shop around for places to do it. ![]() Nothing too x rated, just a few tasteful black and white lingerie shots. After that he didn’t care about the rule anymore and had taken pictures of you as often as he could.įor your one year anniversary you wanted to gift him something special, something that you’ve never done before. He wanted this memory of you so he grabbed his camera and took the perfect shot. He pulled his phone out but he couldn’t get the shot right no matter what he did. You were in a white bikini and walking along the water as the sun set. It started out that way, till you went to platis gialos, a beach with beautiful blue water. He bought a few rolls of black and white film he had intended to use while you were both visiting Greece. He broke his one rule within a week of dating you. He didn’t want to repeat that with another girl that may not last long term. He had so many pictures of her that he didn’t know what to do with them now that they weren’t together. He had taken pictures of his friends, his family, and his costars but he always avoided taking pictures of girlfriends since his nine year relationship with Vanessa. He loves how the lighting and the angle of the shot can change how someone looks in a photo. He mostly takes pictures of nature and different sights he sees when he travels, but lately he’s been focusing more on people. He does digital but he really loves film especially since he has his own dark room. Hope you like it.įor years Austin had been honing his skills as a photographer, ever since he started it as a hobby while filming The Shannara Chronicles.

You’ve had moments where your hope is sky high and you feel that surge of energy. I know you’ve been able to feel glimpses of what your life could be. In time you can be in alignment with who you really are. Next year you could be living the life that you have always hoped for. Next month you could be in a completely different space. And through this self-love, your true self will come forth. Healing is you embracing all of you, the darkness and the light. People will go their whole lives and never heal because they’ve built this fear that they can’t endure the pain to heal themselves. That’s you putting your energy into something else, preventing you from healing yourself. Maybe you’re even convinced that your giving to others is in the name of love. ![]() If you’re feeling drained it’s because you are giving too much to others and not enough to yourself. You can only see others the way you see yourself. You can only understand others the way you understand yourself. You can only help others the way you help yourself. You can only give compassion to others the way you give compassion to yourself. You can only give to others the way you give to yourself. You can only love others the way you love yourself.

Nixon's Spectra is a dramatic and daring timepiece that combines the classic with the cutting edge. Best automatic watches for men in 2023 Nixon Spectra Send it off for professional servicing every few years and it’ll see you well into the future. Don’t subject it to dramatic changes in temperature and keep it out of direct sunlight. Otherwise the key to looking after an automatic watch is the same for any timepiece. Give it a little shake, move it around on your wrist, it’ll pick up in no time. You’ll often see a bit of tentative movement in an automatic watch that hasn’t been worn for a while. Funnily enough the best thing you can do for an automatic watch is wear it. How to look after your automatic watchĪlthough the whole premise of an automatic is ease of use, there are things worth considering in order to ensure longevity and optimal functioning. Another indicator of accuracy is BHP which refers to ticks (or beats) per hour - the higher BHP the more accurate the watch is likely to be. If you’re losing or gaining 25 seconds over two days, this is usually a sign that servicing is required. The most accurate of watches are the chronometers.įor everyone else a rule of thumb when looking for a quality automatic watch is the standard +/-25 seconds per day rule. When it comes to accuracy, premium quality automatic watches for men, notably the ones on this list, are incredibly accurate. If there’s anyone that needs an accurate watch it’s personnel in those fields. There’s a reason why watchmaking often references the military and diving. Thus, automatic watches practically take care of themselves whilst still providing extremely accurate timekeeping. Weights inside the watch mechanism will oscillate in response to your natural movements. ![]() Manual requires winding in order to keep the internal mechanisms powering the watch. Mechanical movements are differentiated into two further categories. The latter is powered by a battery, the former is not. Fluid motion means mechanical, stuttering increments means quartz. The giveaway as to which one is which is how the second hand moves. Tiny movements, all your cogs and dials, within the mechanism power the watch. It powers the hands as well as any duel time device, calendar or chronograph. A watch movement, or calibre, is the mechanism that powers the watch. ![]() The delayed and geographically heterogeneous diversification of flowering plant families.

This approach can be used to address other contentious cases of animal and plant diversifications that require analysis of species-level phylogenomic datasets. Our Bayesian methodology facilitates analysis of complete genomes and thousands of species within an integrated framework, making it possible to address hitherto intractable research questions on species diversifications. For example, we confidently reject an explosive model of placental mammal origination in the Palaeogene 8 and show that crown Placentalia originated in the Late Cretaceous with unambiguous ordinal diversification in the Palaeocene/Eocene. ![]() We show that increasingly larger phylogenomic datasets produce diversification time estimates with progressively smaller uncertainties, facilitating precise tests of macroevolutionary hypotheses. Here we develop a Bayesian molecular-clock dating approach to estimate a timetree of 4,705 mammal species integrating information from 72 mammal genomes. In the case of mammals, molecular-clock analyses of limited datasets have produced conflicting estimates of clade ages with large uncertainties 5, 6, and thus the timescale of placental mammal evolution remains contentious 7, 8, 9, 10. However, state-of-the-art Bayesian methods for inferring timetrees are computationally limited to small datasets and cannot exploit the growing number of available genomes 4. High-throughput sequencing projects generate genome-scale sequence data for species-level phylogenies 1, 2, 3. ![]() Note, that this wire is usually black, but your wire could be another color. From the power source we’ll bring the black hot wire to switch #2 common terminal. Will install a light fixture, and two switches. We’ll show how to wire a 3-way switch with both switches wired before the light. 3-Way Switch Example #2ĭepending on the layout of the space and where the wiring originates from, there are several versions of how the wiring can be done. In order to turn the light back on we have two options, we can flip switch #1 to the red traveler terminal so that it matches switch #2, or just flip back switch #2 to the black traveler terminal. The process of turning on and off the light can occur from either switch, as we show here we now flip switch #2 to break the electrical circuit and shut the light off. If we flip switch #1 to the black traveler wire then the light comes on as the electrical circuit has a complete path through both switches to the light. 3-Way Switch Wiring with switches in opposing positions If we follow the power from the source, the black common wire from the electrical panel connects to the common terminal on switch #2, then passes through the switch to the black traveler terminal and then onto switch #1 where it dead ends. When both switches are not in the same configuration, such as shown below we have one switches common connected to a black traveler and the other switch connected to a red traveler terminal. Inside is a single pole double throw switch which provides each switch with an option to connect the common terminal with either the red or black traveler terminal. If we remove the switch covers and look inside we can see how these 3-way light switches work. We also bring in the ground wire from the electrical panel and connect to each of the switches. We bring in the neutral wire from the power source and connect directly to the light. From the common terminal on switch #1 we connect to the light. We do the same thing for the Red traveler wire. Then we route the Black traveler wire for switch #2 to switch #1. The incoming electrical power will connect to the common terminal of switch #2. With this layout we have the light fixture between the two switches. The two traveler terminals can be on the same side of the switch or on opposite sides of the switch depending on the switch manufacturer. They can match with both on red or both on black, but not black/red or red/black. When the two separate 2-way switches match on their traveler wires the light goes on, when they don’t match the light goes off. Its like the game of concentration where you turn over two playing cards trying to get them to match. Within the switch either one of the traveler terminals is connected to the common terminal, which can make or break the circuit depending on the position of the other switches traveler terminal matching or not. A 3-way switch won’t have an on/off designation that can be found on standard switches, as either position could be on or off. We have two traveler terminals, which are usually identified by their light color of bronze or copper, a ground terminal in green, and a common terminal often a dark color. If we look at a 3-way switch, we’ll see that it has four terminal screws. ![]() 3-Way Switch for Controlling a Light or Fan How do 3-Way Light Switches Work?

Perform Lyrical Exercises For Grace, Posture, and Presentationīecause lyrical dance derives much of its foundation from ballet, posture and presentation are key to making a good lyrical dancer. Luckily, there are some fun exercises that can help young dancers develop their musicality – check them out! 5. In lyrical dance, musicality is especially important because good musicality helps to tell the story and convey the emotions of the piece. While musicality is often innate for some people, it can also be taught, honed, and improved upon by those who don’t come to it naturally. Practice Lyrical Exercises For MusicalityĪll styles of dance require musicality, or the ability to hear and interpret music through your body. Our articles The Best Jazz Dance Exercises to Do At Home and The Best Ballet Exercises To Do At Home will be helpful for all dancers looking to improve their lyrical dance skills! 4. Encourage the Practice of Jazz and Ballet At Home too!īoth jazz and ballet also need to be practiced on their own to really be successful in lyrical dance. We have many suggestions for creating an at-home dance studio out of many spaces, so if you’re at a loss, check them out here! 3. It doesn’t have to be huge, but it should have a high enough ceiling to accommodate leaping, a solid floor, and a way to play music. In order to practice lyrical dance at home, you should have an adequate space dedicated to dance. Create a Space for Practicing Lyrical At Home Here are a few ways to help your dancer when practicing at home! 2. Lyrical is a hybrid dance style, combining aspects of ballet and jazz, so the focus is often on how to make a ballet step look a bit more jazzy, or alternately, how to make a jazz step a little more graceful. But what exactly do you practice for a style of dance like lyrical, which doesn’t really have a codified syllabus? Motivate your Child to Practice At HomeĪs with any activity, lyrical dance needs to be practiced more than just in class.

The accident Saturday came almost exactly a year after Stewart suffered a compound fracture to his right leg in a sprint car race in Iowa. The multimillionaire is known to participate in races with purses worth less than $3,000 and drive alongside drivers of varying ages and talent levels. Stewart often competes in extracurricular events. The 20-year-old from Port Leyden, New York, was Empire Super Sprint rookie of the year in 2012 and this year was his fifth season racing the Empire Super Sprints. Ward's website says he began racing go-karts in 1998 at age 4, but didn't start driving sprint cars until 2010. The dirt track, about 30 miles southeast of Rochester, canceled the remainder of the race and later posted a message on its Facebook page encouraging fans to "pray for the entire racing community of fans, drivers, and families.'' "It just seemed like he was suddenly gone.'' "The next thing I could see, I didn't see (the other driver) anymore,'' witness Michael Messerly said. Povero said Ward, who was wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, had walked into the racing area and one car swerved to avoid him before he was struck by Stewart. ![]() Video of the incident showed Ward walking from his crashed car onto the racing surface as cars circled by, and, as he gestured at Stewart's passing car, he was struck. Ward had crashed following contact with Stewart during a race Saturday night in Canandaigua, and then got out of his car as it was stopped along the fence.
