4 Great book!Posted: 24/10/2009Excellently written book. I think I prefer No Time for Goodbye, but only because the central theme and idea was stronger than this one. However, I would strongly recommend this book to anyone!
Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King PlayStation2 2 New from £29.95 Free delivery Available used from £2.15
5 ExcellentPosted: 12/08/2009The creators of this game had a big challenge on their hands. They needed to make a game that would match the excellence of the film(s). This does just that. What I love about this game is that it is very CHALLENGING and it takes you a long time to complete it. A first class game for the best trilogy of all time.
5 AmazingPosted: 01/02/2009Best Wrestlemania yet without a doubt.Best matches: Undertaker vs. Edge, Cena vs. HHH vs. Orton and of course Big Show vs. Mayweather

3 InterestingPosted: 01/02/2009I suppose this book was interesting because it takes you into the mind of a boy suffering from Asperge's Syndrome.I would say the storyline is very weak however, you wait for a bombshell that never happens.

5 AMAZINGPosted: 01/02/2009Yup. This book really is superb. Jeffrey Archer you've done it again. Kane & Abel was a really good book too, but I'd say I prefer this because it's set in the modern day.You go on a journey with an innocent man called Danny Cartwright, and you will be blown away by his cunningly shrewd and ultimately manipulative intelligence!Congrats JA another classic!
5 WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 - PS2Posted: 08/11/2008Wwe smackdown vs. Raw 2009 on ps2 is absolutely amazing!

4 Pretty GoodPosted: 02/10/2008I would say that this novel hasn't got a really strong story line, but the author (Mike Gayle) really has a talent for writing. You will spend a lot of timing reading this book, there is a lot to take in.Mike Gayle has a special gift to keep you reading.

NAACP head says Vick must account for actions
WASHINGTON -- Falcons quarterback Michael Vick "is not a victim" and should be held responsible for his actions involving a dogfighting ring in Virginia, the national president of the NAACP said Thursday.
While no dog deserves to be mistreated, the backdrop includes the perception among some African-Americans that the criminal justice system treats them like animals and that nobody seems willing to do anything about the disparity.
NAACP national president Dennis Courtland Hayes
"He absolutely must account for what he has done," Dennis Courtland Hayes, interim president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said in an interview with The Associated Press. He had earlier given similar comments to NBC's "Today" show.
But Hayes cautioned against condemning the Atlanta star too quickly.
"It's real clear that Mr. Vick himself would acknowledge that he has made a mistake," Hayes said. "I think there is reason to believe in his redemption."
Hayes' comments came a day after the head of the NAACP's Atlanta chapter said Vick should be allowed to return to football after the case is resolved.
"As a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation and welcome a new Michael Vick back into the community without a permanent loss of his career in football," Atlanta NAACP President R.L. White said.
Hayes said White and others who have come to Vick's defense are expressing an overarching frustration with disparities in the criminal justice system.
"People need to understand the backdrop as some in the African-American community make their expressions of support," Hayes said. "That backdrop includes anger and distrust with the criminal justice system that disproportionately pays attention to African-Americans and Hispanics.
"While no dog deserves to be mistreated, the backdrop includes the perception among some African-Americans that the criminal justice system treats them like animals and that nobody seems willing to do anything about the disparity."
Hayes, who said the national group did not have an official position on the case, said he didn't want to speculate about whether Vick was being treated differently because he is black.
"He may in fact be being treated better than some African-Americans and Hispanics who don't have the resources and financial means that he has," Hayes said. "On the other hand, there might be some of a different race or different ethnicity who might be treated a bit differently."
On Monday, Vick said through a lawyer that he will plead guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiracy to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture.
Three Vick associates have pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge and say Vick provided virtually all the gambling and operating funds for the "Bad Newz Kennels" dogfighting enterprise. Two of them also said Vick participated in executing at least eight underperforming dogs, raising the possibility of the animal cruelty charges.

Should Bob McNair get a Team Plane?
I know this is asking probaly too much from Mr. McNair. But I was thinking about it.
I was watching videos for First Class sections for Airline like Emirates ect...you can see them on youtube Seen how they have seats that convert to Beds and you can completely lay down and sleep. You want to give your team as much comfort as possible if they are traveling. Especially a week like this week. I know Sun to Thurs is short transition. Players are still recovering. If I were Mr. McNair...I would have thought about even renting one of those planes for this game. I am sure he could if he wanted to. Yeah....its one game...but if it can give players more rest than having to sit up...I would. I know it is not that long of flight....only a couple of hours....but I would want my players completely off their feet....sleeping or completely relaxed. Maybe I am the only one thinking about this. When I saw those videos on youtube...it got me thinking. Just a thought...... |

Put Down the Map and Get Wanderlost: 8 Destinations That You Have to Visit
If you keep catching yourself staring at your desktop background of crystal clear blue waters and white sand beaches in Bora Bora instead of doing your job, then get up and go! Whether it's a two week getaway to Mexico or 6 month back packing trip in New Zealand it's crucial to escape from what you're used to and familiarize yourself with something other than your cubical at work. That means its time to throw on your Sanuks and pick up a map, or don't.
Letting yourself wander the land without a map or a plan is the beauty in traveling. Not at all who wander are lost, but all who wander wear Sanuks while doing it! To all you nomads out there in need of change and adventure, check out these 8 destinations. It might actually inspire you to get out of your la-z-boy and make moves. And the excuse of "not having enough money" is getting old, get a piggy bank and save up. People say that traveling is the only thing you can spend money on that will make you richer (not literally) and I like to think the same goes for Sanuks. A purchase that will make you thrive in more ways than one.
Sanuks are more than just comfortable shoes, they are a way of life. We provide creatively inspired yet thoughtfully designed product for people who find joy in shared experiences. These shoes are designed to let your foot move with the earth the way they were designed to, allowing you to walk naturally. They also keep you comfortable in uncomfortable situations, say traveling the world, adjusting to a culture, or learning an unfamiliar language.
We matched up a few pairs of Sanuks that would be perfect traveling companions in different parts of the world, especially these 8 destinations!
8 destinations to put at the top of your bucket list
Get lost in Donna Hemp
Where you would rather be:
Blue lagoon, Iceland
Dive into these Yoga Spree 2
Sacha lodge, Ecuador
Swing tree to tree in Savvy Anna
Northern lights, Alaska
Stay warm in your Honey Bee moccasins and experience the Northern Lights
Mykonos, Greece
Explore the streets of Greece in Ibiza Gypsy
Black forest, Germany
Get wanderlost in Juniper stone
Chichen Itza,Yucatan, Mexico
Put down the map and throw on your Fraidy Cat sanuks
Tianzi mountains,China
Hopefully you aren't scared of heights, Stay Comfortable in your Yoga sling 2 prints even in the most uncomfortable places
Orcas cove, Ketchican, Alaska
All things sanuk exist to make you smile. So when you get that urge of wanderlust and become hopelessly wanderlost remember that true happiness starts from the ground up!
Happy travels!

after LOTS of digging i found these two pages and they work ok.
then read
except its pain in the ass and sometimes i cant get my own font to work correctly from scratch
and here is a list of all the fonts
My dilemma is
1- man its a painful procedure just to preview how they will look on my phone
2-i cant seem to build my own font in italic and bold correctly, i built morpheus which worked on inef deus 1.0 but no bold or italics
can any one guide me and show me where i can make this easier on ics
Update 1: Ok so i think i figured out how to just changed the regular font using any font from font installer aside from changing it completely successfully form the second forum link posted above. The bold and the italic and bold-italic is still the problem
here are my steps :
1- go to font installer
2-in preferences choose the select font option and choose ONLY roboto regular
3-install the font of your liking but DO NOT reboot phone yet
4-go to es explorer and make sure you have root enabled and go to system/fonts
5-choose all the roboto fonts and enable all permission
6-if you have go launcher like me go to preferences and select the regular roboto form system fonts
all the bold , italics will be the system font, every thing else will be your new font.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I'm trying to match this family, specifically the italic for the author's name. I figured it's Bodoni, but the swashes in the italic capital 'T' and the italic lowercase 'k' are really throwing me for a loop.
Since this is a reprint of a book that was originally published in 1959 with multiple printing through the 70s and 90s it may very well be something that wasn't digitized. That makes things difficult for a publisher who wants to add copy to the beautiful title page spread.
Help? Someone, please? Thanks!

Datalink Achieves FlexPod Premium Partner Standing From Cisco & NetApp
Datalink (Nasdaq: DTLK), a leading provider of data center infrastructure and services, announced today that it has been designated a FlexPod Premium Partner by Cisco and NetApp to provide solutions and services supporting the FlexPod® data center solution. Datalink is the first North American channel partner to earn the new FlexPod Premium Partner designation and is recognized for its advanced competencies in helping organizations unify their data centers with the FlexPod solution. Datalink has designed and deployed 28 FlexPod-based architectures and is one of a few partners that offers a full suite of virtual data center consulting, analysis, design, deployment, support and management services.
FlexPod is a pretested and validated data center architecture that combines networking, computing and storage in a shared infrastructure to help organizations achieve greater data center agility and efficiency as well as accelerate and simplify the transition to the cloud. Components include the Cisco UCS ® server, Cisco network switches, and NetApp ® unified storage systems running on Data ONTAP ® software.
"Building converged data center infrastructures like FlexPod requires cross-discipline capabilities spanning servers, storage, and networks that most resellers and service providers lack. The new FlexPod Premium Partner designation reflects Cisco's and NetApp's recognition that businesses need assistance in identifying partners that are not only qualified to design, deploy and support the individual infrastructure components, but also skilled in the critical process of integrating them," said Datalink President and CEO Paul Lidsky. "We began developing our expertise on converged infrastructures two years before the FlexPod architecture was introduced, and that led directly to our ability to meet the stringent requirements of the program."
As a company with a large unified data center practice, Datalink offers:
- A 160+ engineering staff with more than 1,000 technical certifications and cross-functional expertise, including engineers across the U.S. with converged data center experience.
- Consulting, assessment and design services to tailor each deployment to the customer's needs.
- A proof-of-concept lab enabling customers to evaluate unified data center technologies and their application to the specific customer environment.
- OneCall SM Unified Support for converged data centers, enabling customers to contact the Datalink support team for issues with any component of the infrastructure from any vendor for faster resolution and one-stop accountability.
- Managed monitoring services enabling customers to maximize system performance and uptime by outsourcing monitoring and problem detection to Datalink's managed services staff.

Mike Vardy: How To Be An Effective Road Warrior
Working while travelling is an intrinsic part of the Digital Nomad work style, so we provide lots of advice in the book on how to do so effectively and productively. Mike Vardy shares his personal tips for being an effective road warrior:
- Travel measurably light
- Keep running checklists
- Set up boundaries
- Leverage the commute
You can read Mike's article in full on the Workshifting blog.
Dragos Roua: The 5 Fundamental Rules Of Working From Home
Digital Nomad, Dragos Roua, lists his five fundamental rules for working from home.
- Setup a specific workspace
- Split work into edible chunks
- Work outside home
- Go out
- Thoroughly log each day
We advocate several of these ideas in our book, and have come to appreciate the benefits of the others since publication. It's well worth reading Dragos' article in full at Lifehack.
Three Other Out of Office Books
As the Out of Office trend continues, more authors have been writing about this lifestyle. In this episode, we review three other books in this area and compare them to our book.
Listen to the episode here:
The Three Books
Do You Need a Change of Scenery?
One of my clients, Garth Roberts, posted this picture to Facebook earlier this year:
He said it was so successful that he's planning to do it again every quarter. And he's inspired me to go away for a similar trip (not as far as Banff, though!) to do some solid writing on my next book.
What can you do to get into the right mindset for something important? This is one of the big benefits of the Out of Office work style. So create the opportunity if you can!
20 Best Free Apps For Mobile Entrepreneurs
More and more work is done on the road, either on business trips or as part of the life of a Digital Nomad. Of course, the growth of mobile technology helps enormously in allowing you to be productive when you're away from the office.
What apps do you use regularly to stay productive on the road? My favourites include Dropbox, Evernote, and the Google suite of products (Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Drive and Maps).
On The Road (Warrior) Again
Mitch Joel, author of the Twist Image blog, has a number of tips for working on the road. These are useful for employees and digital nomads alike. Here's a summary:
- Always have an extra charger for everything.
- Keep your devices as fully charged at all times as possible.
- Ditch the briefcase, and get a nice looking knapsack or backpack.
- Take all of your cables, chargers, headphones, adapters, USB memory sticks, dongles and more and store them in one bag.
- Save it to the cloud.
- Block out the world with a good pair of in-ear headphones
- Being your own extension cord.
Smartphones use doubles in 2012
More than half of Australian adults use smartphones, and their use doubled in the year to May 2012, according to a report from the Australian Communications and Media Authority. The report, entitled "Smartphones and tablets: Take-up and use in Australia", also found a dramatic increase in tablets.
The key infrastructure drivers for this growth include the continued rollout of mobile network upgrades, growth in 4G coverage and the increased use of WiFi hotspots.
This is particularly significant for many Out of Office workers. The obvious beneficiaries are Digital Nomads, who can now find it easier than ever before to work from anywhere. But it also applies to many other types of workers, particularly those who travel for work or commute to work.
8 Ways to Dramatically Boost Your Productivity While Traveling
Ryan O'Connell has written an interesting article, "8 Ways to Dramatically Boost Your Productivity While Traveling". Here are his ideas (read the article for details):
- Queue up emails
- Invest in personal growth
- Network
- Take time to see the big picture
- Set up meetings and after-hours events
- Do busy work during free time
- Keep phone calls to a minimum
- Prioritize your events/meetings

- Mix it up
- Try different things, and break all the rules!
5 Simple Steps to Taking Your Freelance Career on the Road as a Full-time Traveler
Not every Digital Nomad secretly harbours dreams of being a full-time traveller, working from wherever they lay their laptop. However, some do, and the Digital Nomad workstyle does make that more feasible than most other ways of working.
Freelance Web designer Nathan Swartz wrote about taking your career on the road as a full-time traveller, offering these five key steps:
- Organize Your Accomodations
- Rediscover the Internet
- Set Yourself Up for a Digital Lifestyle
- Inform Existing Clients of Your New Hours and Availability
- See the World!

In the United States, the popularity of duck is always optimistically characterized as "growing." It seems some home cooks are hesitant about cooking duck because of its fattiness (and yet pork ribs and ground chuck fly off supermarket shelves, go figure) or because they just don't know how to cook it.
The Chinese, on the other hand, love duck and have done so for some 4,000 years. In fact, per capita duck consumption in some Western countries is directly linked to the size of their Chinese immigrant populations. (Not so with France, where they, too, love duck and give the Chinese a run for their money consumption-wise.)
Things turn steamy. The Chinese also know lots of ways to prepare duck. As I searched for ideas, one approach that kept turning up was steaming the duck before roasting it. Health-conscious Western cooks have been steaming vegetables like crazy lately and will even steam a piece of fish now and again, but meat, not so much. Throughout much of Asia, however, steaming meat is a common cooking technique, often as a first step before roasting, frying or grilling.
Steaming the duck leg quarters for this recipe renders some of the fat, makes the flesh moist and tender and, most important, infuses it throughout with the flavors of the aromatics used – fresh ginger, garlic, green onions, star anise, and Chinese five-spice powder. Roasting the steamed duck with a lacquer of honey, soy sauce and rice vinegar (OK, in looking for a descriptive finish here and remembering the duck, my mouth is watering – I think that covers it).
Chinese Duck Pasta with Mushrooms
Serves 4
This dish involves more steps than many of my recipes, but everything is easy to do, and you can cook the duck ahead if you like, to simplify things.

GS News Update: Xbox One and Xbox 360 Games With Gold Titles for July
Xbox owners will get access to four games for free this July including Guacamelee and Gotham City Impostors.
Did you enjoy this video?
Sign In to UpvoteThere are 2 good games in the list (Guacamelee and BattleBlock Theater). But I already beat Guacamelee on the PS3/Vita and bought BBT a year ago..
So nothing for me
Frick. I love Battleblock Theater but I got like a month ago for full price. Dang it.
Wow this is weak Im glad I dropped my Gold as soon as they said netflix and other media services will no longer require gold I cancelled my gold Now I no longer have to pay for my son to watch Netflix in his room thanks Microsoft I will stick with PS Plus
So that's 3 games, not 4. Curse of Brotherhood does not count. Microsoft doesn't want to give out too many free games so early in the Xbox Ones life...cheap a-holes. If they were smart they could give away Ryse: Son of Rome for free, but no, like I said, pretty damn cheap for a fortune 500 company, and disappointing.
What?!?! This isn't an article, it's just a headline and one that isn't coherent to boot.
I wish that we had battle block on the xbox one...along with castle crashers. Man that behemoth makes good games.
This is actually great news, considering Guacamelee Championship Edition comes next week on PS4 with a price tag. I don't think I've seen that before...
Xbox 360 users get to keep the games forever, it´s only on Xbox One that it´s like PS plus (you keep the games for as long as you´re a gold subscriber).
Well the new edition of Gaucamelee has new levels and bosses so might be worth replaying
@shinjuki There isn't much they can afford to give away for free from their slim pickins
It is not like Sony has given away Knack or something. Everything on PS4 to my knowledge has been indies.
I thought the same thing but I believe the key element in the article is a video

Help with a ding diagnosis
So I discovered this today and I'm in park city utah...I'm from virginia...so I'm no where near home and can't take this to a local shop to look at. I just want to know if this should be ok for the remainder if my trip or if it needs repairing ASAP (also who know how long it's been like this).
I thought I read the wood core of my Skate banana is more to the center so this shouldn't be absorbing water with risk if freezing and delaninating my board, correct me if I'm wrong on this assumption. I just want to know if I need to take it to a shop (hopefully for a short repair because I don't have my spare board) before I hit Canyons tomorrow or if this is mainly cosmetic and it should last a few more days. Thanks guys! |

Just fill it with something like wax for the day if you're that concerned. The wood core on Mervin boards stops where the metal edge stops with the tip and tail being all plastic. It looks like you hit it right where it switches from core to plastic tip/tail.

I would either need to find some epoxy then or take it to a shop in the morning, my only concern is the cure time.
Also my board did come with a small gap/ maybe a little filled at the other edge endings, it just so happens that I ding it right at that one spot |

"This club along with the partner 4H are the best purchases I have ever made. Although, I did buy both of mine at Dick's on sale for the same price last year. The lefty club selection at my local Golfsmith seems to focus on the latest clubs. These hybrids have replaced both of my fairway woods. They have a much more compact head, and elicit much more confidence in my shots. However, since I..." --Lihu
"I won this club in a giveaway here on TST. Since it came in during the very long winter we had, I opted to not take it out until I had an opportunity to "get back in the swing of things" with the driver I was using last year (Callaway Razr Fit Xtreme, 9.5*, Matrix Black Tie shaft in stiff flex)). Well, it took me a while to get any consistency going this year but..." --teamroper60

I have been using Golf Pride NDMC grips for the past couple of years because I like the firm feel and excellent grip tack when my hands are moist due to sweat.

"This driver hits long. The 46 inch Matrix shaft is a good match. The setup favors slower swingers with an even tempo.

"The first thing I noticed about these irons is that they feel and swing like a game improvement iron, even more so than they look.

These clubs have to play the balancing game between game improvement and..." --jamo

The awkwardly-named Armored Core: for Answer has just received the demo treatment on the Japanese PlayStation Store.
Clocking in at a modest 517 MB, the demo should provide the answer to our question - is this new iteration in the series a significant upgrade from the letdown that was Armored Core 4? According to our forum members, it's not, citing horrid controls and a poor framerate as reasons to the contrary.

Stories from Quick Reads and Ukraine
Hijacked Printers in Eastern Ukraine and Russia Print Pro-Ukraine Messages
As the world watches Russian soldiers and Russian-backed separatists occupy Ukrainian administration buildings, cities, and even an entire peninsula, a group of Ukrainian hackers is fighting back by launching an invasion of their own.
Since this summer, Ukrainian hacker Yevgeniy Dokukin and his group of fellow computer pros calling themselves Ukrainian Cyber Forces have carried out "Operation Bond, James Bond," in which they leaked web camera and security footage from Crimea, separatist-held areas of eastern Ukraine, and even government offices in Russia. Dokukin and the Ukrainian Cyber Forces have been leaking videos from cameras for months now, including a video supposedly from a separatist base in Donetsk.
A few weeks ago, Dokukin and his allies took up new weapons in their cyberwar: printers. In a series of Facebook posts, Dokukin has explained how, after accessing private WiFi networks, the Ukrainian Cyber Forces were able to print documents on vulnerable networked printers in various offices in Crimea and separatist-held areas in eastern Ukraine, and were now trying to do the same in Russian networks.
#УкраїнськіКіберВійська почали захоплення мережевих принтерів на Донбасі та в Криму http://t.co/kgdYOIPXGd. #КіберАТО pic.twitter.com/gA4asPmq34
— MustLive (@MustLiveUA) December 8, 2014
#UkrainianCyberForces have begun occupying networked printers in Donbas and in Crimea.
As Dokukin told RuNet Echo, he sees the wasted ink and paper in Russia as a variant on Ukraine's own "economic sanctions" aimed at its neighbor. The messages appearing on these printers vary, but they share a common theme:
Якщо ваш мережевий принтер передасть "вітання Путіну" чи надрукує "Слава Україні!" та інші цікаві надписи, то знайте, що він під нашим контролем.
If your network printer passes along "greetings to Putin" or prints "Glory to Ukraine!" or other interesting messages, then you know that it is under our control.
Not all of Dokukin's printer messages were meant to be confrontational. Recently, the Ukrainian Cyber Forces accessed an open network printer in Canada—an especially strong ally of Ukraine throughout the ongoing crisis—and printed the message "Thanks for supporting Ukraine!" in English.
As Russia increases its support of information warfare, including slick redesigns of its news agencies and propping up fake Ukrainian news sites, Ukrainian Cyber Forces are taking the trolling and information war to their opponents—and their offices—more directly.
Kiev Kowtows to Washington … on Twitter
Ukraine's new foreign minister, Pavlo Klimkin, is in hot water on the Russian Internet today, where bloggers are drawing attention to his first subscriptions on Twitter. RuNet users have noticed that some of the first accounts Klimkin chose to follow are US politicians John McCain and Mitt Romney, the neoconservative American think tanks the Foreign Policy Institute and the Lugar Center, and the US State Department itself. Serving a new government in Kiev that Moscow regularly accuses of kowtowing to Washington, Klimkin has provided critics of Ukraine with fresh ammunition in the information war between Russia and the West.
Celebrating Russian Crimea with a Candy
A Russian chocolate company in Novosibirsk has released a new candy bar called "The Crimea" with the slogan, "Just try to grab it!" A product announcement shared with the press features a super-hero character wearing the colors of the Russian flag, standing before a map of Crimea, with the following tagline:
Даже в то время, когда страна принимает непростые решения, мы не перестаем улыбаться. Потому что мы—Россияне!
Even in times when the country is making difficult decisions, we never stop smiling. That's because we are Russians!
The company responsible for this new confection, "Chocolate Traditions," has produced other specially themed sweets. Earlier this year, it announced a fudge bar called "the Viagra." There are also several holiday-themed candy collections, for Victory Day, Women's Day, and so on. One kilogram (2.2 pounds) of the Crimea chocolates costs 130 rubles (about $4).
Russian Internet users have showed great interest in the new Crimea-themed candy bar. According to Yandex's blogs search engine, the past few hours have seen over a thousand posts on the subject. Many Russians have noticed that the chocolate bars expire after ten months, leading several bloggers to joke that Russia's occupation of Crimea won't last another year.
В российских конфетах "Крым – а ну-ка, отбери" срок годности 10 месяцев. В январе Крым вновь станет украинским. pic.twitter.com/10y2Zhd4uu
— Льовочкинъ (@slevo4kin) June 5, 2014
The Russian candy "Crimea—just try to grab it" has a shelf life of 10 months. In January, Crimea will become Ukrainian again.
Crowdsourcing Ukraine's Rebellion
Bloggers in Ukraine are turning to the Internet to publish the locations of troops in the country's southeast, where the army is in the midst of a massive "counter-terrorist" operation against militants who have seized control of parts of major cities. A group called "Military Maps" on the Russian social network Vkontakte has created an application that allows any user to mark the location of soldiers and military hardware on maps of Ukraine. The service appears to be the work of separatist sympathizers hoping to provide rebel combatants with tactical intelligence.

"Friends! We won't forget!" [Image reads, "Attention: Ukraine's Ministry of Defense asks Internet-users to remain silent about the movements of Ukrainian army troops."]
The accuracy and timeliness of "Military Maps" is questionable, but some Ukrainian bloggers are taking the threat seriously, spreading a message from the country's defense ministry warning against discussing online the army's movements. As early as mid-March this year, the Ukrainian government has cautioned citizens against revealing such information on the Internet. In mid-April, the mega-popular Twitter account "euromaidan" disseminated the same message again (see above), collecting nearly 900 retweets and favorites. Now, as Odessa slips into apparent anarchy and Kiev's soldiers battle their way into cities throughout the southeast, bloggers are again calling on people to avoid posting about troop movements.
Should Africa Learn From the Crimea Referendum?
"Is Crimea referendum a good model for Africa?" asks Richard Dowden:
Africa's arbitrary borders, mostly drawn by people who had never set foot in the continent, have always been an obvious target for renegotiation. But Africa's first rulers, who foresaw chaos and disintegration if the nation states were reconfigured, ruled it out. "Respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of each State" was one of the founding principles of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), the forerunner of the African Union. Despite all the wars, internal and external, this principle has been pretty much adhered to by both presidents and people.
Loyalty to an African state is not always related to the ability of that state to make the lives of its people better. Patriotism, an emotional thing, does not take these benefits into account, even in countries where the majority of citizens are marginalised or oppressed by the government. Even in the catastrophic recent meltdown of South Sudan after just two years of independence, no one is advocating return to rule from Khartoum. In the dying days of Mobutu's Zaire (now the DRC) I was astonished to find that people felt it to be a great country. I asked why Katanga, the rich south east province, didn't secede – as it had in 1960. My suggestion was greeted with shocked surprise.
Russian Government IP Address Caught Editing German Wikipedia MH17 Article
IP addresses inside the Russian government continue to be active on Wikipedia, where a computer at the Russian Secret Service, the FSO, revised the German entry for Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, changing the word "separatists" into "rebels." The Twitter bot @RuGovEdits, which automatically logs all Wikipedia edits made from Russian government IP addresses, caught five separate attempts by an FSO computer this morning to make the "rebels" language stick. The effort failed. German Wikipedia editors reverted the article's language to the original text, every time.
Western Ukraine Police Using Facebook to Increase Police Accountability
According to a report [uk] by RFE/RL (Radio Free Europe), heads of district police departments in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv have been ordered to set up Facebook profiles. As of June 25, 2014, all of them can be found and contacted through the social network, which the Head of the Lviv Regional Department of the Ministry of Interior believes will ensure prompt reaction [uk] of law enforcement officials towards reports from citizens.
Public trust towards law enforcement institutions in Ukraine has reached an all time low during the recent public uprisings, known as #Euromaidan. After a consequent change of government, the new Minister of Interior Arsen Avakov has led a practice of publicly reporting on his activities through a personal Facebook profile [ru], which has been received positively by a large audience.
International Community and the Crisis in Ukraine
Angie Ramos guest blogs [es] at Tintero Político about the crisis in Ukraine and after analyzing different key factors involved concludes with the reaction of the internacional community:
The thing is, the international community, facing cases like this one, acts subjectively as it depends on the magnitude of the interests involved to support or express rejection to some interventionism in various countries. Is it that some countries have privileges for the international community? For instance, in the case of the conflict between Great Britain and Argentina regarding Falkland Islands, a referendum carried out on the population, where 98% of the population voted for staying under Great Britain's administration, received support, while in Crimea, there is no will for acknowleding the legality of the process.
Ukrainian Artists Cage Russians Like Animals
A group of artists in Kiev has opened a new exhibit that many Russians are calling dangerously xenophobic. Yesterday, April 24, 2014, the "Ukrainian Cultural Front" presented four interactive installations intended to criticize Russia for its opposition to the EuroMaidan movement and its interventions in southeastern Ukraine. The most controversial exhibit (titled "Beware of Russians!") featured three homely-looking men trapped behind a fence, dressed as stereotypical Russians. (One man wore a tracksuit, another donned military camouflage, and a third sat on a flattened cardboard box, playing the balalaika and begging for spare change.) Posted on different sides of the fence were signs like those one finds at a zoo, reading "Beware of Occupiers!" and "Please Do Not Feed!"
The art exhibit was in such obvious bad taste, many Russians seem to believe, that several of the RuNet's most vocal patriotic bloggers simply reposted photos from the installation, not even bothering to specify their objections. Of course, many others found it necessary to articulate the dangers of Russophobia. Publicist Dmitry Olshansky, whose Facebook texts are among the Russian blogosphere's most vociferously pro-intervention, wrote threateningly that the "motor" of today's conflict between Russia and Ukraine rests entirely on "Ukraine's certainty that Russians will never respond to anything."
Ukrainians Desperate to Flip the Script on Fascism
On March 25, 2014 designer and one of the most popular RuNet bloggers, Tema Lebedev, announced on his blog that his design studio, ArtLevedev created the logo for the "2014, a Year of Culture" project, commissioned by the Russian government:
Shortly after, one of his readers posted a comment [ru] to his blog, with the logo jokingly photoshoped to look like a swastika:
This image was in picked up by Ukrainian Twitter user Katya Avramchuk, who posted it saying that this was the actual logo designed by Lebedev's studio:
Студия Артемия Лебедева (Эркен Кагаров) разработала логотип Года культуры в России pic.twitter.com/yJLKRFn6zE
— The Avramchuk Post (@avramchuk_katya) March 25, 2014
Artemiy Lebedev's studio (Erken Kagarov) designed the logo for Russia's year of culture.
From here, the Tweet was re-posted [ru] by popular Russian-language Ukrainian Twitter @euromaidan, which tweeted it without attribution. This post has been re-tweeted 389 times. No trace of the original (funny or not) joke remains, just another entry into a name-calling "Who is the bigger Nazi" contest between Russians and Ukrainians.

Is our world with its teeming variety of life the result of chance, a series of lucky accidents? Or is it, as more and more scientific discoveries are revealing, a perfect habitat finely tuned for life? What does the evidence show?
December 24, 1968, witnessed a moment of triumph in man's attempt to reach into outer space. On that date the three astronauts on the Apollo 8 mission entered lunar orbit, becoming the first human beings to orbit the moon and gaze down on its far side.
Before retiring that evening, lunar module pilot William Anders, in a live television broadcast showing pictures of the earth and moon as seen from the astronauts' space capsule, took up a Bible and read the following: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis:1:1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.).
This was the first time in history that a man gave witness from outer space about the grand handiworks of the heavens. Yet the witness has been present on the earth in the Bible for thousands of years. In addition to what God inspired Moses to write in Genesis as quoted by astronaut Anders, King David later added his testimony in Psalm:19:1(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.: "The heavens declare the glory of God."
From the beginning of man's existence, the creation we see all around us has stood as a clear witness to the existence of a great Creator God (Romans:1:20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:). As a result, ancient peoples, generally speaking, did not question the existence of a supreme Deity or deities behind it all.
Moses and David knew God personally and believed that He stretched out the universe in all its glory; they stood in awe of it. Brilliant scientists of today would agree that the universe is wonderful, but many disagree with the Bible as to how it originated and who sustains it.
World-famous physicist, cosmologist and author Stephen Hawking does not believe in a personal God who created the universe. He believes that "the beginning of the universe was governed by the laws of science and doesn't need to be set in motion by some god" (Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, The Grand Design, 2010, p. 135).
Hawking and Mlodinow present for consideration the "idea that the universe itself has no single history, not even an independent existence" (p. 6). These opinions, of course, are contradictions to the statement in Genesis that the heavens had an origin and were established by God.
But what does an objective look at the evidence reveal? Let's consider some facets of the universe and the earth that point to a divine Creator—evidence that atheists and agnostics cannot explain, except to attribute them to chance or a series of lucky accidents.
Even though they make no room for God, authors like Hawking and Mlodinow are forced to acknowledge that planet Earth is carefully calibrated to facilitate human habitation. For example, a study of Earth's orbit around the sun reveals that it is not a perfect circle but is just slightly elliptical.
"The degree to which an ellipse is squashed is described by what is called its eccentricity, a number between zero and one. An eccentricity near zero means the figure resembles a circle, whereas an eccentricity near one means it is very flattened...The earth's orbit has an eccentricity of only about 2 percent, which means it is nearly circular. As it turns out, that is a stroke of very good fortune ...
"In fact, if the eccentricity of the earth's orbit were near one, our oceans would boil when we reached our nearest point to the sun, and freeze over when we reached our farthest...Large orbital eccentricities are not conducive to life, so we are fortunate to have a planet for which orbital eccentricity is near zero" (pp. 150-151).
All serious observers of the interactions between the earth and the sun would agree that the "laws of science" in play are magnificently manifest in structure. But can we attribute these features to just a series of lucky accidents? Or are they due to the master strokes of a Creator God?
Psalm:102:25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. addresses God this way: "Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands." Many features about our universe and the earth are so carefully designed that they reflect divine design rather than chance.
How high are the stakes? If things were minutely different regarding these aspects, human life could not exist on earth. This is further evidence of a Creator. Indeed, the more we discover, the more evidence of God we find!
Neither Moses nor David possessed telescopes nor other sophisticated instruments to observe the heavens and measure what we believe are the fingerprints of God. But modern science has bequeathed to us the ability to probe into space and discover these divine marks. And what is being revealed?
Astrophysicist Hugh Ross has catalogued the characteristics that demonstrate the touch of a Creator. "In the past few years, the pace of new discoveries demonstrating design in the universe and solar system has escalated dramatically...The most recent of these updates describes thirty-five characteristics for the universe and 122 for the solar system" (Norman Geisler and Paul Hoffman, Why I Am a Christian, 2006, p. 148).
For the remainder of this article, let's examine four "constants," what we might call finely tuned formulas or facts, that diligent scientists have discovered, without which our dwelling in the universe would not be possible. You can decide whether to attribute these (and scientists have discovered dozens more) to blind chance or the divine Creator as revealed in the testimony of the Bible.
Oxygen is the third most abundant element in our universe. Earth's atmosphere is 21 percent oxygen. "That precise figure is an anthropic constant [i.e., one permitting man's existence, seemingly by design] that makes life on earth possible. If oxygen were 25 percent, fires would erupt spontaneously; if it were 15 percent, human beings would suffocate" (Norman Geisler and Frank Turek, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, 2004, p. 98).
That raises an obvious question: "How did the amount of atmospheric oxygen reach its present level? 'It's not that easy why it should balance at 21 percent rather than 10 or 40 percent,' notes geoscientist James Kasting of Pennsylvania State University. 'We don't understand the modern oxygen control system that well'" (David Biello, "The Origin of Oxygen in Earth's Atmosphere," Scientific American, Aug. 19, 2009).
Scientists admit they cannot explain this phenomenon. In the beginning when God created and prepared the planet where He would create human beings, He primed an atmosphere that would support human life. He then kindled and breathed into the lungs of the first man the essence that was the breath of life (Genesis:2:7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.), which included the right proportion of oxygen. The result was that Adam lived. All people live today because God continues to sustain our atmosphere.
But simply having enough oxygen isn't enough. It must be in a specific form.
Most of the planets in our solar system contain environmental oxygen, and scientists have assumed that most of the extra-solar planets also have a range of amounts of oxygen present. However, only on very few of them is it in elemental form. On the others it is combined with other elements—such as on Venus in the form of carbon dioxide and on Mars in the form of iron oxides.
This is one reason why Earth is the only planet in our solar system now able to support life. The way God infused oxygen into our atmosphere is a magnificent testimony to the handiwork of the Master. It is not a stroke of sheer luck as many would have you believe. Were the level of oxygen not so precisely calibrated, we would not be here to contemplate such questions!
Our planet is bombarded constantly with radiation from the sun. This electromagnetic radiation is what we generally call sunlight. The level of transparency in our atmosphere is critical to the support of human life. It provides us daylight when the sun is above the horizon.
But here, too, we find a delicate balance. "If the atmosphere were less transparent, not enough solar radiation would reach the earth's surface. If it were more transparent, we would be bombarded with far too much solar radiation down here" (Geisler and Nix, p. 100).
What would the results be if our level of sunlight were unbalanced? Excessive sunlight would result in increased health problems. One of the most notable would be an increase in skin cancer. Insufficient sunlight, on the other hand, would also lead to health problems—since it would not enable our bodies to manufacture vitamin D, an essential ingredient for good health.
In addition to colder temperatures, without sufficient sunlight photosynthesis would not occur. This process in which green plants use energy from the sun to transform water, carbon dioxide and minerals into oxygen and organic compounds is vital to all life on earth. Both plants and human beings depend on this system.
As part of the process, the green pigment chlorophyll is uniquely capable of converting the active energy of light into a latent form that can be stored in food and used when needed.
Photosynthesis provides us with most of the oxygen we need to breathe. We, in turn, exhale the carbon dioxide needed by plants. Plants are also crucial to human life because we rely on them as a source of food for ourselves and for the animals that we eat.
When God said, "Let there be light" (Genesis:1:3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.), He had designed things so that the gaseous balance of the earth's atmosphere would enable all life, including mankind and plants, to reproduce and thrive. He also designed the earth to rotate at a 23-degree tilt in relation to our sun. If this angle were altered, the light would be more intense in some areas, less intense in others, and surface temperatures would be too extreme for the global support of life.
Particle physics is the branch of physics that deals with the properties and behavior of elementary particles. Four forces govern the interactions between these particles—gravitation, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. How do these forces function?
Gravity is the phenomenon by which physical bodies attract with a force proportional to their mass. We're most familiar with it when it causes objects to fall to the ground when dropped. Gravitation is also responsible for keeping the earth and the other planets in their orbits around the sun and for keeping the moon in its orbit around the earth. Without this force the earth would never have come to orbit the sun, being just a sterile, wandering body meandering aimlessly through space.
One manifestation of electromagnetism is illustrated when we use a magnet to attract a metal object. It also works at the subatomic level in that it's the force that holds electrons and protons together inside atoms. The strong nuclear force works to bind protons and neutrons together to form the nucleus of an atom. The weak nuclear force is responsible for the radioactive decay of subatomic particles. It initiates hydrogen fusion in stars and results in the release of energy. By the process of fusion, the sun radiates light and heat to sustain life on our planet.
The exact calibration of these four forces in relation to one another is critical if the universe is to remain as it is and if earth is to support life. How important and how exact are these forces?
"The existence of life as we know it depends delicately on many seemingly fortuitous features of the laws of physics and the structure of the universe...Changing the strength of any one of them, even by a small amount, could render the universe sterile" (Paul Davies, Cosmic Jackpot: Why Our Universe Is Just Right for Life, 2007, p. 150).
Here is an example: "If the gravitational force were altered by 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001 percent, our sun would not exist, and, therefore, neither would we" (Geisler and Nix, p. 102).
In addition to the importance of universe-spanning effect of gravity, there also exists a vital balance of gravitational interaction more locally between the earth and the moon.
"If the interaction were greater than it currently is, tidal effects on the oceans, atmosphere, and rotational period would be too severe. If it were less, orbital changes would cause climatic instabilities. In either event, life on earth would be impossible" (p. 100).
When God established earth's moon as "the lesser light" in the earth's sky (Genesis:1:16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.), it's clear that He must have set its size and position relative to the earth by careful calculation. If it were otherwise, we could not live here. Earth's environment would be hostile to the existence of advanced life.
"The earth rotates at just the right speed, making a complete revolution every twenty-four hours in its trip around the sun. The result is, the earth's crust is evenly heated like a chicken on a turning spit" (Fred John Meldau, Why We Believe in Creation, Not in Evolution, 1968, p. 28).
None of the other planets in our solar system have the same speed of rotation. Why is earth's rotation 24 hours in length? It was specifically designed this way to accomplish God's intended purpose for earth to support human life and other life forms.
The earth's carefully calibrated circular path, tilted at just the right angle on its axis, is also influenced by the moon. "The moon affects the earth through its gravitational attraction...the [earth's] ocean tides pull on the moon...These tides also slow the earth's rotation" (Neil Comins, What If the Moon Didn't Exist? 1993, p. 4).
Another factor essential for the earth to support human life is the constancy of the angle of the planet's spin on its axis. This angle of spin is called obliquity. "The obliquity...of three of the four 'terrestrial' planets of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, and Mars has varied chaotically. Earth is the exception, but only because it has a large moon...Earth's climactic stability is dependent to a large extent on the existence of the Moon" (Ward and Brownlee, p. 266).
The intricate relationships between the sun, earth and moon stand as powerful witness to the divine hand of the Creator God. Just as the spiritual law of God is perfect (Psalm:19:7The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.), so are the numerous physical laws that govern our home in the universe.
British astronomer Edward Harrison studied the evidence head-on: "Here is the cosmological proof of the existence of God...The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie evidence of deistic design. Take your choice: blind chance that requires multitudes of universes [a seemingly infinite number
to come up with one with all the right factors] or design that requires only one...Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the teleological [goal-directed] or design argument" (Edward Harrison, Masks of the Universe, 1985, p. 252, 263).
Hugh Ross wrote: "The community of believers has no reason to fear and every reason to anticipate the advance of scientific research into the origin and characteristics of the cosmos. The more we learn, the more evidence we accumulate for the existence of God and for his identity as the God revealed in the Bible" (Geisler and Hoffman, p. 157).
So we see that not all scientists believe that the state of our universe and earth are mere accidents. Furthermore, not all believe that man's existence on this orb is purposeless. Physicist, cosmologist and astrobiologist Paul Davies wrote: "I cannot believe that our existence in this universe is a mere quirk of fate, an accident of history, an incidental blip in the great cosmic drama" ( The Mind of God, 1992, p. 232).
We indeed are not a "mere quirk of fate." We are destined by God for a future of unimaginable glory.
The Bible poses a question over which man has mused for millennia and then follows with the astounding answer: "What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You take care of him? You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, and set him over the works of Your hands. You have put all things in subjection under his feet" (Hebrews:2:6-8 [6] But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
[7] Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
[8] Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
, quoting from Psalm:8:4-6 [4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
[5] For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
[6] Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
This is a promise that will be fulfilled in the future. In Revelation:21:7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son., God gives essentially the same promise in different words: "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son."
The Bible tells us that we will someday receive as our heritage the vastness of the interminable universe. We can then explore its immensity and understand its mysteries. We will be able to know personally—face to face—the Father and the Son who created it all and share in Their glory forever (read our free Bible study aid booklet What Is Your Destiny ? to learn more).
In 1 Corinthians:13:12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known., the apostle Paul described the present spiritual state of Christians, as well as that to which they can look forward (as paraphrased in the Message): "We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us."
Thank you for this very scientic article. I will honestly tell you I didn't finish reading it. Why? Because I had the privilege one night to look through my Tio's telescope. He found each planet for us. He put a flitered lens on for us to see the sun, and we saw a lunar eclipse. Wow! It was totally awesome. There is no-way this was an accident. The rings around Saturn. The red spot on Jupiter, the tiny planet Pluto, the Milky Way, the fact that one can see the color red of Mars. I was impressed and didn't even know that God the Father had made them. I didn't even know about the rainbow either. I always had questions growing up and just wasn't satisfied with school books. I looked at the pictures, but that is all I did. Looking into my Tio's telescope was real and made a big impression on me.
When I finally began to read the Bible as an adult (for I grew up in a church that did not teach the Bible)and found out about the rainbow I was so excited so much so that from that day I have not wanted to put my Bible down. There are so many awesome things to learn and my childhood questions are being answered.
Our Savior Jesus Christ said we must have an additude of a child, to approach His Word with a child like additude which brings humility and wow, ones eyes and mind are opened up to awesome discoveries and adventures of the past. It becomes a Father and child relationship and a bond begins to grow. This bond will keep growing as long as we don't let go. A love, respect and graditude beings to grow within the heart for God our
Father. Which in turn we try and do our best and ask Him to help us to be all that we can be for Him.
There is one more question to ask. Where did the laws of the universe come from, if the existence of everything was just pure chance? Without gravity, nothing could exist. Without electricity we could not move or do anything. (including live) There are many more physical laws than spiritual laws called the Ten Commandments.
I know Mr. Gardner. God first, then man. In other words; God our Father comes first in the morning before we begin our physical lives of duty, responsibilites, recreation, and so forth. At the end of the day we recollect the days activities and repent of wrong doings, work on forgiveness (for we don't want to go to sleep in our anger) and Bible study somemore if need be. Ending with a good night prayer. :o)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A sterling silver object that is to be sold commercially is, in most countries, stamped with one or more silver hallmarks indicating the purity of the silver, the mark of the manufacturer or silversmith, and other (optional) markings to indicate date of manufacture and additional information about the piece. In some countries, the testing of silver objects and marking of purity is controlled by a national assayer's office.
Hallmarks are applied with a hammer and punch, a process that leaves sharp edges and spurs of metal. Therefore, hallmarking is generally done before the piece goes for its final polishing.
The hallmark for sterling silver varies from nation to nation.
One of the most highly structured hallmarking systems in the world is that of the United Kingdom, (Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland), and Ireland. These four nations have, historically, provided a wealth of information about a piece through their series of applied punches:
The series of hallmarks described above are still in use in today.
However, there are two silver hallmarks that have been discontinued:
The French assay mark for sterling silver is the head of the goddess Minerva. In fact, the French standard for sterling silver is higher than that of other nations, requiring a silver content of 950 parts per thousand, or 95% silver. Silver items with a slightly lower grade of silver, 800 parts per thousand, are marked with the head of Minerva, next to which is a "2".
French silver made for export carries an assay mark in the shape of the head of Mercury, along with a number to indicate the millesimal fineness: "1" for .920, "2" for .840 and "3" for .750.
French silver also is punched with the mark of the maker.
In the early United States, no national assaying system was adopted, although the city of Baltimore did maintain its own assay office between 1814 and 1830.[citation needed] Prior to the general adoption of sterling silver as the standard of purity in 1868, silver was generally obtained from the melting of coins. Since these could vary considerably in purity, from around .750 millesimal fineness to around .900, silver known as "coin silver" varies in purity. Silver at that time was sometimes marked "COIN" or "PURE COIN", but can also be without a standard mark altogether. After the adoption of the sterling standard, pieces were marked with "STERLING", the number "925" or the notation "925/1000".[citation needed]
The United States also had no date marking system. Because of this, some companies within the U.S., such as Tiffany and Gorham, adopted their own date marking systems.[citation needed]
While American manufacturers did not apply assay marks, city marks or date marks, they did apply a maker's mark. This is generally not done today. The old hallmarks were as unique as today's logos, and disputes often arose when one company copied another's stamp.[citation needed]
"In the USA, The National Gold and Silver Marketing Act does not require precious metals to be marked with quality. However, if a quality mark is used, the mark must be accompanied by a manufacturer's hallmark that is a registered trademark or the name of the manufacturer. If there is ever a question about the content of a piece of jewelry, the manufacturer can be traced using the hallmark stamped on the piece....US law requires a maker's mark in the form of a hallmark or registered trademark in addition to the quality mark if the goods are quality marked. The name of the artist or manufacturer may now be used for this." [1]
Between 1867 and 1933, Austria-Hungary and later, Hungary used the crescent moon crowned head of antique greek heroine Diana as the hallmarking symbol of legal silver alloys. The head was encircled by a frame, optionally composed of convex, concave and straight lines. One concave line represented 140/1000 fineness, a straight one 150 and a convex one 160. For example, a Diana head within a frame made in the shape of a 5-petal flower represented 5x160 = 800 thousands fineness, a local silver standard commonly used in eating forks and spoons. Meanwhile a hexagonal frame represented 900 fine silver. The same logic was also used to frame gold hallmarks.
