At the top end of the Cowgate the main thoroughfare through the town of Kirkintilloch lies the Barony Chambers Clock Steeple.
The Category B Listed historic landmark was built between 1814 and 1815 to provide a meeting place for the then Kirkintilloch Town Council , a Court House including two jail cells and a Parish School. Prior to 1806 there was a Tolbooth that once stood on the site

The Clock
Y Cloc
Well-meaning, and right-mindedly
I sing. Fate is kind to me:
My soul takes flight to the fair town
With round tower at crag’s crown,
Finds a girl, of former fame:
My unforgotten old flame.
Through my Dream, moonlight fleeting
Beams on her a Dream of greeting.
Nightly now, her fetch shall fly
To tryst with me and linger nigh,
Or when, as in exhausted sleep,
My soul, unfettered, comes to creep
Within her chamber, I’ll appear
And speak with her till day is near
Like an angel, though my head
Lies pillowed in a distant bed.
Thus my otherworldly thought
Finds the lover I have sought
For age on age. The spell will break
The very moment I awake.
Damn the clock beside the dyke
That awoke me with one strike
Of the tongue between its teeth!
Curse the ropes and wheels beneath,
The stupid balls that dangle,
The hammer, the iron rectangle
Of its frame! Curse its quacking
And its endless mill-wheels clacking!
Churlish clock with canting clatter,
Clodhopping cobbler’s chatter,
Lies and treachery in your guts!
Hound-whelp’s maw that chews and gluts
On garbage, clapping jaws of spite!
Owl’s mill grinding through the night!
No saddler, crupper caked with crap
Could withstand the endless tap-
Tap-tapping of your ticker!
The very angels bark and bicker!
I had enjoyed – until this –
A dream of Heaven, untold bliss,
Wrapped within this woman’s arms
My head between her breasts. Charms
Of Eigr, beyond all cost.
Dong! Dong! Dong! And all are lost!
Come, my Dream, and seek once more
The airy highway to her door
And set my golden girl aglow
With slumbering love. My soul! Flow
To meet her! Moth! Take flight
And plunge into her orb of light!
Source material: Poem by Dafydd ap Gwilym, paraphrased by Giles Watson. Mechanical clocks of the kind derided in the poem were a newfangled technology in the fourteenth century, and are also mentioned by Chaucer and Jean Froissart. Once again, this poem draws on the llatai tradition, but in this case, the love-messenger is not the clock, but the poet’s Dream, which confers upon him the ability to fly by night to his beloved Eigr. As with Dafydd’s other beautiful dream poem, ‘Y Breuddwyd’, there are strong affinities with ‘The Dream of Maxen’ in the Mabinogion. It has been suggested that the town with the round tower on a hill is Brecon, which, with its marvellous setting, surrounded by the Black Mountains and the Brecon Hills, would seem to be an ideal place for souls to take flight. The poem implies that his soul can only make contact with that of his beloved when both of them are asleep and dreaming, and at the end of the paraphrase, I have introduced the soul-moth motif, which is a common feature of Celtic folklore. Cathedral cities such as Wells, Salisbury and St Albans did possess clocks of the type described by Dafydd, with chimes to mark the hours for the monastic offices, but it is impossible to know with which clock Dafydd was acquainted, and in the context of this poem, it appears that the clock was far removed from Brecon. For a more detailed examination of the historical background to this poem, see the notes to Rachel Bromwich’s prose translation, Dafydd ap Gwilym: Poems, Ceredigion, 1982, pp. 123-4.

孔乙己知道“茴”的N种写法，和此前辈不同的是：我们知道一个数字的N种写法，从1到12都伪装、变形、修饰了，我们将这种做法称为“婉约”。
为什么LOG(55)是4？ 因为太Geek了。
In most commonly-used programming languages, including C, C++, SAS, MATLAB, Fortran, and BASIC, “log” or “LOG” refers to the natural logarithm.
大部分编程语言都使用LOG的写法表示以自然对数为底。

I bought this ihome clock radio to use w/my video ipod and love it. It's kinda cool to be able to watch a video in bed. The sound is pretty good as well.
I love this building, it's so messy and chaotic, yet the clock makes it instantly beautiful.

Décor représentant des femmes au travail sur la partie centrale de la façade de l'immeuble de la section C de la Karl-Marx-Allee (coté nord)
Cette partie de la Karl-Marx-Allee a été conçue par l'architecte Richard Paulick qui a été retenu à l'issue d'un concours lancé le 25 avril 1951 par le conseil de Berlin.
Le boulevard Staline (Stalinallee) devait refléter les traditions artistiques de Berlin et la richesse de la nouvelle société socialiste.
Richard Paulick a utilisé des colonnes doriques au rez-de-chaussée supportant une terrasse, un toit plat et a su jouer sur les avant-corps et les arrière-corps pour alléger la masse du bâtiment.
Le Prix national de la République démocratique allemande (RDA) a été attribué à l'architecte Richard Paulick en 1969. Richard Paulick a reconstruit en 1969 le Kronprinzenpalais (Palais du Prince Héritier), situé à côté du Staatsoper sur l’avenue Unter den Linden, surplombant Bebelplatz et le palais adjacent Prinzessinenpalais (Palais des Princesses).

An abandoned clock and sign at the corner of Elston Avenue at Fletcher Street in Chicago.
Judging by he style of the clock, its building was once a bank.
