2. "My Grandfather's Clock."- Recapture the magic & build your own October 22, 2009 Every child in high school learns that a pendulum's rate of swing (its period) is proportional to its length. This is the only factor that affects the period. Galileo discovered this in 1582. Today's grandfather clocks are descendents of William Clement's clock from 1670. He had discovered that a longer pendulum meant more accurate time keeping. The long pendulum had to be enclosed to prevent children (and adults) playing with it. Hence the long-case clock was invented. The name Grandfather Clock comes from Henry Work's 1875 song, "My Grandfather's Clock." If your parents or grandpar... (read more) Author: pratiksha vaity

7. Condo Loan Risk Reduction May be Creating More Problems September 01, 2009 While this current economic crisis has most certainly been at least partially caused by the effects of the poor restrictions set on mortgages and home loans for a variety of types of real estate, home loans have seen a pendulum swing that is threatening to make economic recovery rather difficult at least in the realm of condo purchasing.

I’ve heard and read enough mind control stories to realize when something similar happens to me. My story is simple; but at the same time, the actual moment made me feel like I did something great for myself. While I was gr... (read more) Author: praveen kumar

Moon Swims into Scorpio & Mars Enters Cancer & Mercury into Libra Squaring Mars (Aug. 24 to 26, 09) August 19, 2009 With the waxing Moon moving into Scorpio our focus is more inwards and we are descending into our private inner world. The mood turns more somber and intense. Scorpio tends to extremes. The world is often perceived as black or white, good or bad and the emotional pendulum might swing fast from one side to the other.

10. A System That Works Like Clockwork July 27, 2009 This Pendulum technique is based on the assumption that in any investment arena the herd instincts of greed and fear will always be prevailing somewhere in the stock market irregardless of the vehicle of investment that is employed. These emotions often cause stock prices to either fall or rise depending which emotion is prevalent at the time. Eventually these extremes of stock prices will eventually return to a natural equilibrium point or gravity centre. Thus this action of the pendulum causes trends and cycles to occur and these occurences can ... (read more) Author: chris strudwick

For some people, loosing weight with hypnosis is something that they might never hear of.

13. Is It Better To Have Faith or Better To Know May 26, 2009 In our efforts to succeed in whatever direction we may be headed, it is good to have faith, but even better to know. There are but these two classes – and all humanity will one day have to be identified as of one class or the other. They will have to seek to go forward, or backward – progress or retrogress, for there is no standing still in a world of humanity in which all is action. I found a wonderful way to illustrate this idea. It is about a college talk given by a grad student, on “The Law of the Pendulum.” The student spent 20 minutes carefully teaching the physical principle ... (read more) Author: Richard Pyatt

Expand Your Business Faxing Versatility April 28, 2009 Technically, Alexander Bain's 1842 image reproducer (a pendulum moved across one image, and passed along the electric signal to another pendulum which reproduced the image on chemically treated paper) is often considered the first facsimile [Fax] machine.

16. Analysis: Thai Protests Underscore Deep Divisions April 13, 2009 Thai protesters and government troops face-off in Bangkok, 13 Apr 2009Thailand is once again in the grip of political unrest. The country has been on a political pendulum and has vacillated between civilian and military rule for many years. Last year thousands of opponents of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, sporting yellow t-shirts, took over Bangkok's two airports. The move shut down the country's air links for a week and severely damaged Thailand's vital tourist industry. They claimed victory when the pro-Thaksin government was forced out by a court ruling. Now it is the tur... (read more)

17. The Congreve Clock March 24, 2009 The Congreve clock is a timepiece which was invented by Sir William Congreve in the year 1808. Unlike a traditional pendulum based clock, the Congreve clock uses a ball rolling down a zigzag path to regulate and monitor the passage of time. While his was not the first rolling ball clock to be invented, Congreve’s model is notable in that it improved heavily on earlier designs. This unique timepiece works by setting a ball to roll down a zigzag track. The length of each track is set specifically, to control how long it takes for the ball to reach the end. When the ball reaches the end of ... (read more) Author: Joey Pebble

18. Grandfather Antique Clock March 20, 2009 It is said that Galileo Galilei, while dozing in the cathedral at Pisathat and timing the swaying to and fro of lamps with his own heartbeat, thought up the idea of the pendulum clock. Thankfully the Holy Inquisition didn't spot his undevout thinking and Galileo returned home to work on his ideas for the pendulum escapement. It was not until 1656 however, that a pendulum was designed into a clock as a regulating device by the Dutchman, Christian Huygens - probably the original Grandfather Antique Clock. We have to remember however that the genius Leonardo da Vinci had already thought out ... (read more) Author: Ben Frank

19. The Modern Use of the French Period Styles February 23, 2009 The world has often turned to Paris for its fashions, so it is small wonder that French house furnishings should play their part in society. There is sufficient variety in styles as distinctive and different as the Henry II and Louis XV to meet all tastes and even follow the swing of fashion's pendulum. One point must be kept clearly in mind in working in the French periods and that is that they are absolute. The successful introduction of anything not French into a French room, unless it be something Chinese, is such a difficult problem that it is better avoided; while a few pieces of French ...

20. Cuckoo Clocks Striking the Hour February 17, 2009 Back in the fourteenth century mechanical clocks appeared. A bell sounded every hour. These clocks did not have hands or faces. The speed of the clocks movement was driven by weights and springs. The most important event in clock making took place in the early nineteenth century. It was the introduction of mass production and interchangeable parts. Before this time clocks were only available to the wealthy. The cuckoo clock is typically pendulum driven and strikes the hours using small bellows and pipes that imitate the call of the common cuckoo in addition to striking a wire gong. This ...

22. The Gambler - Do I Hold, Fold Or Run? December 29, 2008 The Gambler - Do I Hold, Fold Or Run? Today's home buyer is concerned with a variety of things: good neighborhoods, good schools, employment opportunities, quality recreation - but overriding everything are the questions, "Should I buy now.

23. Pesticides and their Benefits November 05, 2008 The main reason for the bad rap is the same as the one in the medical field: over use. Just as it was over use of Penicillin by doctors in the U.S., people in general tend to think that "more is better" in the case of chemical pesticides too. So now the pendulum seems to be swinging to the other extreme in our society, and it's all or nothing - so going 100% green and chemical free is the latest and greatest cure all to stop garden pests.The good news for those who are frustrated or confused is that there are ways to use chemicals responsibly with minimal impact on ourselves and our environm...

24. Easy Access to Your Inner Wisdom October 27, 2008 Intuition, sixth sense or gut instinct. What do these really mean? I like to think of intuition as the quiet connection to the wisdom of our soul or expanded self. Our expanded self is always present, patiently waiting to guide us; we need only to listen and be aware. The use of intuition is often scorned in today's rational, logic-driven society. As a child you were taught the scientific method, to question and look for proof before making decisions or taking action. While such behaviors can positively affect your life they severely limit your perspective. You are limited to only w... (read more) Author: Becky Kimes
