BULOVA WATCH COMPANY MATERIAL SALES DIVISION 62-1 0 Woodside Avenue, Woodside, New York 11 377 November 19 77 Horological Times 15 UPRIGHTING the BARREL I would like to congratulate your Institute and editors for the excel· Jence of the new journal HorologicaJ Times. It is a production that ffils a void in the technical knowledge available t o watchmakers.

We have just concluded our annual NZHI conference, and 1 was pleased to take my copies of the Times to display to members. 6Jitoriaf It was a job to get them all back again, so I am sure that you will be getting some ne\V subscribers from New Zealand ! At the Conference, I was glad to be able to put forward to members details of your battery project towards the AWl ELM Trust. Although New Zealand is not a big country by your standards and no recycling program is likely here, members were in full agreement that we could organize a collection depot here for used batteries and then THE PYRAMID EFFECT forward them to you. It would be the least we could do in appreciation of the help given us by articles and technical extracts over the years from Do you know what you have done?

  • Gnomon Sundials – Student Worksheet
    Name ________________________ Gnomon Sundials – Student Worksheet GNOMON (shadow maker) Time read at point of shadow Arab philosophers of 9th and 10th centuries were amongst the first advanced scientists and mathematicians in Europe. They discovered that using a gnomon, a triangular shadow maker, would indicate hours of exactly the same length of standard time, no matter what time of year it was. Sundials were often ornate and had mottos such as: • Tempus fugit (Time flies – Latin) • Let others tell of storms and showers. I only tell of sunny hours (Anon) To prepare your gnomon Fold a sheet of paper in half. The fold will be the top of the gnomon and will be used to reinforce it.

  • Tempus Fugit
    TEMPUS FUGIT Melissa Pheterson In 1941 my grandfather’s mother opened a letter informing her son of his duty to serve in World War II. She crumpled on the floor and died of grief. Last Sunday, my mother, who lives in the town next to mine, returned from a grueling weekend of caring for my daughter—cooking dinner, coax- ing her to eat, bathing her, sustaining her kicks of protest over the slathering of lotion—only to collapse into bed at twilight with her iPad and find on Facebook a picture of Paige taken with her other grandmother, both forcibly yet prettily posed at a restaurant. “Facebook is a crock of…soup!” she texted me before weeping into the night, or so I deduced from her splotchy face at the airport the next morning. We were on the way to visit my grandparents. 87 88 VALPARAISO FICTION REVIEW “If your in-laws were nicer,” she muttered, re-counting the sandwiches she’d made for Paige to consume in-flight, “I would cook for them. So you wouldn’t have to set foot in a chain restaurant.” My grandparents never bothered to change the previous owners’ Tacky Eighties aesthetic, whose centerpiece was a Formica bar with etched glass waiter carrying a tray of glowing absinthe martinis. My grandfather Jacob used to call him “Harry,” summoning him with a whistle. Now Harry lords it over him; you can just see his tuxedoed silhouette from the den, where my grandpa dozes in his recliner or reads the same paragraph over and over; my grandmother recently bought him a large-print version of Fifty Shades of Grey, trusting her talk shows.

  • Death Judgement Hell Heaven
    Myztery Tempus Fugit Death Judgement Hell Heaven MRPB77046 Myztery Tempus Fugit Mystcal Rose Press Myztery, Tempus Fugit, Copyright © 2012, Mystical Rose Productions, Chatham, Ontario, Canada. All rights reserved. © 2012, Mystical Rose Productions Chatham, Ontario www.mysticalroseproductions.com www.myztery-tempus-fugit.net www.myztery.net [email protected] Printed in Canada Introduction by Pete Mason “Tempus Fugit” is Latin for “Time flies.” “Tempus fugit memento mori” means “time flies, remember death.” Tempus Fugit, as an album and eventual video idea for Myztery, came to me sometime around 2006 in Burnaby, BC. I had been exposed to a classic spiritual book called “The Four Last Things” by Fr. Martin von Cochem, O.S.F.C. (Tan Books and Publishers, Inc) and the four last things are listed as “Death, Judgement, Hell and Heaven.” The cover of the book quotes Hebrews 9:27: “. it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment.” In the opening pages it also quotes the book of Ecclesiasticus 7:40: “In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin.” I read the book and found it a powerful tool to use on monthly silent retreats, often bringing a copy of the book with me on mountain or monastery retreat days. After Myztery released their debut self-titled album in 2005, we began to think about what our next album would be like. I shared with Cyndie, my girlfriend and bandmate, my idea of taking “the four last things” and making an album out of it and even a full-length video.

  • Tempus-Fugit-Thorson.Pdf
    Tempus Fugit By Maureen Thorson And Short the Season Maxine Kumin W.W. Norton 2014 Many poets set out to write a first book. Few, I think, set out to write a last one. But the first necessarily implies the last – whoever begins a journey will finish traveling sometime. Maxine Kumin published her first book in 1961, when she was 36 years old, relatively late for a contemporary American poet. Known for plain-speaking verse and ecological focus, many of Kumin’s poems were inspired by, or set on, her New Hampshire farm (a fact that once earned her the sobriquet of “Roberta Frost”). She died this past February at the age of 88, just before her eighteenth collection, And Short the Season, was due to be published. Now that the book is out in the world, it is difficult not to read it as a “summing up.” And Short the Season is pervaded by themes of mortality and extinction, treating the latter with a Cassandra-like sense of urgency. The poems call the reader to greater awareness of his interdependence with other life – human, animal, and otherwise – while documenting and memorializing the connections between Kuman and her forebears, both biological and literary.
