When the pocket watch stops, wind it carefully with the small wheel above the 12 so that it indicates the time again. If you pull it too far, the spring in the movement tears and it has to be repaired. Meanwhile, it's an expensive pleasure.
Once a year, it is cleaned and maintained by a watchmaker.
With my wristwatch only the battery needs to be replaced, voila it runs fine until the next change.
For the presentation of my watches I have draped them on my Backrool Orange (a piece of sports equipment).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Thank you very much for your visit, a comment and a Fave I am looking forward to hearing from you!
I wish you a good and successful week.
Die Entwicklung der Uhren, hat sich von der Taschenuhr meines Großvaters mit einem sehr schönen Uhrwerk, das täglich aufgezogen werden muss, hin zu den mit einer Batterie versehenden Uhr entwickelt.
Wenn die Taschenuhr stehen bleibt wird sie mit dem Rädchen, oberhalb der 12, vorsichtig aufgezogen damit sie die Zeit wieder anzeigt. Zieht man sie zu weit auf, reißt die Feder im Uhrwerk und sie muss zur Reparatur. Ein inzwischen teures Vergnügen.
Einmal im Jahr wird sie von einem Uhrmacher gesäubert und gewartet.
Bei meiner Armbanduhr muss nur die Batterie ausgewechselt werden, voila sie zeigt wieder die Zeit an.
Zur Präsentation meiner Uhren habe ich sie auf mein Backrool Orange (ein Sportgerät) drapiert.
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
Herzlichen Dank für Euren Besuch, über einen Kommentar und ein Fave freue ich mich!
Ich wünsche Euch eine gute und erfolgreiche Woche.
Le développement des montres a évolué de la montre de poche de mon grand-père avec un beau mouvement qui doit être remonté tous les jours, à la montre avec une batterie.
Lorsque la montre de poche s'arrête, enroulez-la soigneusement avec la petite roue au-dessus du 12 pour qu'elle indique à nouveau l'heure. Si vous tirez trop loin, le ressort du mouvement se brisera et il devra être réparé. Un plaisir coûteux en attendant.
Une fois par an, il est nettoyé et entretenu par un horloger.
Avec ma montre, tout ce que j'ai à faire est de changer la pile, voila elle fonctionne bien jusqu' à la prochaine fois que je la change.
Je l'ai drapée sur mon Backrool Orange (un équipement de sport) pour présenter mes montres.
Un bon lundi macro, tout le monde!
Merci de votre visite, un commentaire et une Fave, j'ai hâte de vous voir!
Je vous souhaite une bonne et fructueuse semaine,
El desarrollo de los relojes ha evolucionado desde el reloj de bolsillo de mi abuelo con un bello movimiento que tiene que ser devanado diariamente, hasta el reloj con una pila.
Cuando el reloj de bolsillo se detiene, dé cuerda cuidadosamente con la rueda pequeña por encima de los 12 para que indique la hora de nuevo. Si lo tira demasiado, el resorte del movimiento se romperá y debe ser reparado. Un placer caro mientras tanto.
Una vez al año, es limpiada y mantenida por un relojero.
Con mi reloj, todo lo que tengo que hacer es cambiar la pila, voila funciona bien hasta la próxima vez que lo cambie.
Lo puse en mi Backrool Orange (un equipo deportivo) para presentar mis relojes.
Feliz Lunes Macro, todos!
Gracias por su visita, un comentario y un Fave estoy deseando verle!
Les deseo una semana buena y exitosa,
O desenvolvimento de relógios evoluiu a partir do relógio de bolso do meu avô com um movimento bonito que deve ser rebobinado diariamente, ao relógio com uma bateria.
Quando o relógio de bolso parar, com cuidado, arraste a roda pequena acima do 12 para indicar o tempo novamente. Se você puxá-lo muito longe, a mola de movimento irá quebrar e deve ser reparada. Um entretanto caro.
Uma vez por ano, é limpo e mantido por um relojoeiro.
Com o meu relógio, tudo o que tenho a fazer é mudar a bateria, o voila funciona bem até a próxima vez que eu mudar.
Coloquei no meu Backrool Orange (uma equipe de esportes) para apresentar meus relógios.
Feliz segunda-feira, todos!
Obrigado pela sua visita, um comentário e um Fave, estou ansioso para vê-lo!
Desejo-lhe uma semana boa e bem sucedida,
Lo sviluppo degli orologi si è evoluto da orologio da tasca di mio nonno con un bel movimento che deve essere ricaricato ogni giorno, per l' orologio con una batteria.
Quando l' orologio da tasca si ferma, caricarlo con cautela con la rotellina sopra il 12 in modo che indichi nuovamente il tempo. Se lo si tira troppo in là, la molla nel movimento si romperà e deve essere riparata. Un piacere costoso nel frattempo.
Una volta all' anno, viene pulito e sottoposto a manutenzione da un orologiaio.
Con il mio orologio, tutto quello che devo fare è cambiare la batteria, voila funziona bene fino alla prossima volta che lo cambio.
L' ho drappeggiato sul mio Backrool Orange (un equipaggiamento sportivo) per presentare i miei orologi.
Un felice macro lunedì, tutti!
Grazie per la vostra visita, un commento e una Fave sono impaziente di vedervi!
Le auguro una settimana buona e proficua
Marble statue of Charles Darwin (1809-1882). In Hintze Hall in the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, London. The life-sized statue weighs 2.2 tonnes. Unveiled in 1885, created by Sir Joseph Boehm.
This massive residential development sits on land in Etobicoke fronting on Lakeshore drive. The land was originally developed in the 20's and 30's with a string of motels which serviced tourists visiting Toronto and the area became known as the Lakeshore motel strip.
They prospered initially reaching their zenith in the 1950's but by the 1970's tourist trade had all but disappeared and the motels had become seedy and ill maintained, home to prostitutes, strippers, and the desperate. They struggled on into 2012 when the last of them fell to the wreckers ball. Redevelopment was initially slowed by turmoil in the financial markets but in recent years has progressed rapidly and continues even into today.

It’s not hard for the snail kite to plan its daily menu. The endangered raptor eats only one food: apple snails, and a lot of them—10,000 a year per bird. Catching the freshwater snails is a laborsome venture that involves waiting until the snail comes to the surface to breathe and—at the exact right moment—swooping down to grab it. Employing its perfectly adapted curved beak, the kite then extracts its escargot and repeats the process 27 more times, every day.
This specialist bird has been hit hard by habitat declines and other changes in the Florida wetlands it calls home. From 2000 to 2007, scientists noticed a steep decline in the number of snail kites, owing in part to two major droughts that left their wetlands parched. The decline was also affected by the rarity of the apple snail, which lives in a very particular habitat and has a relatively short lifespan. Without its snails, the snail kite's chances of survival were looking poor—until an unlikely invader found its way to Florida.
It turns out there is more than one variety of apple snail. The non-native South American apple snail likely made its way to the Sunshine State via the pet trade, possibly when a rash aquarium owner released the species into the wild. The South American snail, which can grow to nearly the size of a tennis ball, quickly outpaced its native cousin, which is only the size of a ping-pong ball. It lays more eggs, lives longer, and can adapt to more diverse habitats than the native variety, and so spread widely all over the Florida wetlands.
You may sense where this story is going. A recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution found that the snail kite has rapidly evolved so as to be able to forage on this new, larger prey. The bills of the raptor, says Robert Fletcher, coauthor of the study and associate professor in the department of wildlife ecology and conservation at the University of Florida, have increased in size since the invasion of the South American snail.
“Bill size and shape are heritable, meaning that birds with larger bills pass the trait onto their offspring, and larger-billed birds have a higher survival rate,” says Fletcher. Parent kites that are able to handle the larger apple snail bring it back to their young, who are more likely to grow stronger, survive, and breed in turn. The first couple months of life are the most dangerous for young snail kites, who are just learning how to forage on their own and aren’t yet skilled at it. “Bigger-bill snail kites seem to survive much better during this time,” says Fletcher. The result: Numbers of large-bill snail kites have tripled in the past decade.

Confronted by predators, the red eyed tree frog will open its red eyes in order to disquiet the predator, thus hoping for a chance to flee.... Ok, predators might not strike us as overly intelligent, but that sounds really stupid. If that really is evolution at work, how did this creature survive that long?
I am enchanted with the new Hydrangea paniculata cultivar 'Early Evolution' that I recently added to my garden. The blooms start out a pale lime green and evolve into pale pink until they reach a dark pink in the fall. I love how the blossoms of Hydrangeas evolve and change colors during their growing season!
