Antique Waltham Pocket Watches
Waltham Watch Company was the first watchmaker to mass-produce watch movements on an assembly line. This had the combined effects of increasing productivity and lowering the prices of Waltham's watches to its customers. It should have given Waltham an immediate and early edge over the competition. Unfortunately, Waltham's early decades were fraught with financial difficulties.
Founded in 1850 by watchmakers Aaron Dennison, Edward Howard, and David Davis as the American Watch Company, the firm's earliest watch movements were stamped with the words "Howard, Davis, and Dennison – Boston," even though the company was actually based in nearby Roxbury. By 1851, their manufacturing processes perfected, the partners renamed their firm the American Horologe Company. All of these early pieces had key-wound movements, came in size 18 or 16, and were sold without cases—back then, it was common to take a movement to a jeweler to complete this final step.
In 1853, American Horologe became Boston Watch Company and moved to a new factory in Waltham, Massachusetts. But the partners were dogged by financial problems in the years following the move to Waltham—in 1857 the company was purchased, at auction, by Appleton Tracy & Co.
Appleton's Model 1857 is generally considered the first production watch with completely standardized parts. These early Model 1857s are favorites among collectors of antique pocket watches. The majority of these size-18 watches were adorned with either roman or bold Arabic numerals, generally on a porcelain face. In 1859, the company merged with the Waltham Improvement Company and was renamed the American Watch Company, although Waltham Watches and American Waltham Watch Company were often used in advertisements from this period.
Waltham's factory was almost as impressive as its products. By the end of the 1860s, the giant facility employed hundreds of men and women, numbers unheard of in the watch industry. But when the Civil War broke out, business dropped to almost nothing. Factory managers quickly downsized the plant by cutting hours, encouraging employees to join the military, and shuffling jobs to make sure everyone had something to do, even if it was only one task. Thankfully, soldiers needed watches, and Waltham survived the war by meeting this demand with its relatively cheap timepieces. Movements from this period are extremely rare today.
Like Hamilton and other watchmakers, Waltham made railroad watches. In order for a watch to qualify as railroad-grade it had to be large (size 16 or 18), have at least 17 jewels in its movement, feature easy-to-read Arabic numerals, and meet a number of other technical requirements.
Waltham manufactured movements in two basic styles: full and 3/4 plate. The works in a full-plate movement were completely covered, while the 3/4 plate featured cutaways to make ...
Some of the most famous Waltham models of the 19th century included the aforementioned 1857 line, the high-end Vanguard (it had 23 jewels in its movement), the Crescent Street, and the Wm. Ellery, which was reportedly carried in the pocket of Abraham Lincoln. Other Waltham lines included the Santa Fe, whose railroad-grade movement self-adjusted to maintain accuracy even in extreme temperatures, and the Lady Waltham, a smaller watch built specifically for women. The Lady Waltham was the first of its kind, and other companies like Elgin quickly jumped on the ladies' pocket-watch bandwagon.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Waltham movements were considered so reliable that the Canadian Pacific Railway commissioned special, railroad-grade movements. Some of these pieces were marked on the movement with the railroad's emblem (a shield and a beaver). Other movements bore the words "Canadian Railway Time Service." They're difficult to find today, and are great examples of post-1900 pocket-watch movements.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Waltham didn't embrace Art Deco as much as other watchmakers, focusing instead on railroad-grade chronometers. The venerable Vanguard brand was a notable exception, selling consistently throughout the 1930s, despite the drop in pocket-watch sales caused by the popularity of the wristwatch.
During World War II, Waltham was contracted by the U.S. Army to make speedometers, tachometers, chronographs, and other military equipment. After the war, pocket-watch production came to a virtual standstill in favor of wristwatches and other domestic items. Like other American watch companies, Waltham could not compete with cheaper imported movements, and the firm closed its doors in 1957.

BRISTOL, R.I. – For the second time this school year, the mighty men of Roger Williams University's Men's Lacrosse team put down their sticks and sacrificed a valuable day of practice, opting instead to lay in bed – but just long enough for their blood to be drawn.
Head Coach Marty Kelly has been coaching at RWU for 14 seasons, and this is the fifth year he has organized an effort for the entire team to donate blood. It began as a simple way to give back to the community, but evolved into something even more meaningful.
"This was just something we came across that was an easy, one-day thing beneficial to those in need, but it was also kind of a team building exercise," Kelly says. "Some of the guys were excited, but a lot were nervous and fearful, so [donating blood] was like a badge of courage."
BRISTOL, R.I. – Get your aprons ready, folks! The 5th Annual Cake Off, hosted by the Roger Williams University Inter-Class Council, is only weeks away.
With sheet cakes, basic decorating supplies and 30 minutes on the clock, as many as 50 teams will compete on Saturday, April 11, in the annual cake sculpture competition. The event is part of a fundraising and awareness campaign in recognition of National Autism Awareness Month.
RWU students, faculty, staff and members of the local community are invited to participate in the competition, which allows teams of three to six members to compete head-to-head for a variety of awards, including "Most Spirited," in which teams can wear matching costumes, and "Best Theme Design," in which teams are encouraged to create a cake that reflects the puzzle piece symbol often used to signify autism awareness. Teams will also have the opportunity to capture honors based on the creativity and design of their cakes.
BRISTOL, R.I. – Imagine being a child torn from your family and forced into combat in Uganda's civil war, where your victimizers may even compel you to harm your own family members or neighbors. If you were the lucky few to escape, how would you overcome the years of trauma inflicted by the experience?
Via University-sponsored service-learning programs in 2013 and 2014, Mikayla Diamond, a senior psychology major at Roger Williams University, has helped to heal the horrific effects that the conflict has stamped on the young women and children of the country. Inspired by the young women and teenaged girls of ChildVoice International's Lukome Centre – a nonprofit organization that provides a therapeutic community to rehabilitate war orphans, former child soldiers and their families – Diamond recently organized "Art for Africa," a silent auction held on the Roger Williams campus. With more than 80 pieces of donated art decorating Global Heritage Hall courtesy of organizers, students and local artists, Diamond raised $2,733 to subsidize the cost of a grain grinder for the Lukome Centre.
The Community Engagement FLC, with support from the Davis Educational Foundation, is pleased to announce a campus-wide presentation on community engagement by Rick Battistoni, Providence College Professor of Political Science and Public and Community Service. A nationally known expert on civic and community engagement in higher education, Battistoni is also an award-winning faculty member, incorporating community components into each of his courses.
BRISTOL, R.I. -- For many college students, a week off in March means sunny, sandy Spring Break getaways -- but for a group of dedicated RWU and RWU Law students that seems to grow each year, the break from classes and assignments is an opportunity to give back, dive into outside-the-classroom learning experiences and have a little fun along the way.
This week, more than 130 students, from undergraduate to graduate to law, are participating in Alternative Spring Break trips, where groups of students -- often led by faculty or staff advisors -- work in teams to lead volunteer projects aimed at improving communities or assisting nonprofit organizations.
This year, students will serve local cities including Providence and Boston, travel across the country to New York City, New Orleans and Tuba City, Arizona, and even head abroad to countries including Peru, among others. Habitat for Humanity, Project Homecoming and Rebuilding Together are among the many partner organizations for which the students will volunteer to help address critical community issues from affordable housing to public health awareness.
The Rhode Island Blood Center will hold a blood drive in the North Campus Residence Hall lobby, and a bone marrow registration in the Commons. With over 10,000 pints of blood donated, this year marks 35 years of Roger Williams University partnering with the RIBC. This drive is sponsored by the Feinstein Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement, the African Student Coalition, and RWU FIMRC chapter. Visit www.ribc.org to make an appointment, using sponsor code 0001.
BRISTOL, R.I. — In the same year in which the University's signature Community Connections program celebrated its 10th anniversary, Roger Williams University has been recognized by the Corporation for National and Community Service for its community service and volunteer projects in 2014, which ranged from cleaning local parks to running bingo at senior centers, and creating art projects with developmentally disabled adults.
"At RWU, we've established a core value of commitment to community through service, and we're honored to be nationally recognized among our peers that also place such a high value on community work as part of the education we provide to our students," says KC Ferrara, director of the University's Feinstein Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement.
The second blood drive of the academic year will be held on Tuesday, December 2 and Wednesday, December 3 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the North Residence Hall game room.

Need help choosing sink for indirect drain
We are moving our basement laundry room, and it will require that the machine drain directly into the sink. (We will install a Saniswift grey water pump below the sink to move the water into the sewer). I'm thinking that the sink is going to get lots of abuse from the dirty water that drains into it from the washing machine. What's the best option? A regular old $75 laundry tub? Acrylic? Composite? Cast Iron? Something that is easy to clean and will hold up over time would be best.
Also need to know the sink capacity needed for a Kenmore HE3T to drain into. Some of the drop-in sinks I've seen are about 17 gallon. Is that big enough? We are considering a drop in laundry sink rather than a (larger) stand-alone tub because I'd like to have a counter top work space.
I couldn't find any related posts, so if it's been discussed before, please redirect me to any links. Thanks!
If you are worried about longevity/durability purchase a new or used commercial stainless steel utility sink. If you are worried about capacity, purchase a double tub sink to be safe.

Ralph Ellison
The recent publication of Nabokov's index cards in The Original of Laura made me consider the fate of similar projects during the past few centuries. It's striking how often we novelists are struck down in the middle of writing our weakest work—and yet these novels intrigue because, if only the writer had lived, the book might have really "come together." As my days dwindle down, I contemplate writing chunks of say, four or five different novels: That'll make them miss me when I'm gone! And yet what self-respecting writer doesn't have those four or five novels already, in some drawer somewhere or deep in an old hard drive, the first fifty pages of unfulfilled promise? Booksellers and Millennium Trilogy fans are hoping that the rumors are true and that Stieg "Dragon Tattoo" Larsson wrote at least a chunk of a fourth

For as long as people keep making up these curious national days, we'll keep honoring them the best way we can. …Read Now
This idea seems so market-tested that it's surprising that no one thought of it sooner, but here it is: 39-year-old British author Jo Baker has re-worked Pride and Prejudice with a Downton Abbey twist, focusing on the world of the servants in Jane Austen's classic. Titled Longbourn, her novel features a downstairs romance between a footman and a housemaid as a counterpoint to the better-known love story between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
As expected, this aggressively commercial tale has been snapped up by publishers and film studios alike. "I sent it out last week," said Clare Alexander, Baker's agent, told BBC NEWS. "[U.S. publisher] Knopf bought it Monday. On Wednesday, it was bought by Doubleday in the U.K. By Thursday the film rights had gone. By Friday, we had signed up two foreign translations." Focus Features, which made the surprisingly not-bad Keira Knightley Pride film, is set to make the Longbourn movie.
Nice (re-)work if you can get it, huh? I guess this will provide all of us something to pass the time until that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies film adaptation finally happens.
Are you looking forward to Longbourn?

Sugartown is the story of a tiny seaside town in Britain whose claim to fame and only source of income has been the Burr Candy Factory. The candy factory is about to go under and the owner Jason Burr (Shaun Dooley) may have to sell it to his brother who wants to turn the place into a gambling casino and luxury holiday flats.
I hesitate to use the word quirky to describe things, because it seems these days to mean everything from "endearingly odd" to "bizarrely outrageous" without telling the viewer exactly what he is going to experience. Sugartown is sweet (no pun intended) in that it tells the story of very human characters with strengths and weaknesses, and it is non-judgemental.
When I went to find out why the series was cancelled, I was surprised to e encounter criticism of things being "too predictable" and of all things that it was "too sweet." Really. The resident scientist and I watched it, enjoyed it, laughed and worried about the town, but most of all were entertained.
There is a lot of human drama in the episodes, but not the kind that ends in horrific grisly murder or scary psychopathic resonances throughout the community. If you are looking for high drama, the supernatural, or puzzling scenarios, this doesn't have them.
What it does have is people, like people you know, working through a difficult financial and business time, and trying to carry on their lives. We were reminded a bit of an old favorite "Northern Exposure" and other small community drama comedies.
Sugartown is presented on single disc containing all three episodes of the series. It runs approximately 177 minutes, and also stars Tom Ellis, Miranda Raison, Philip Jackson, Sue Johnson, and Georgia King.Note the date on this article may be incorrect due to importing it from our old system.

Asthma Health Center
Asthma in Older Adults: Managing Treatment - Topic Overview
Diagnosis and treatment of asthma can be a challenge if you are age 65 or older. You might have another medical condition that masks your asthma. Or you may be more likely to have side effects from asthma medicines or be at risk for reactions from the different medicines you may be taking.
To treat your asthma, you and your doctor should work closely together, especially if you:
Recommended Related to Asthma
By Denise Grady Two young brothers with the same chronic illness. One mother's struggle...and what she knows now about keeping her children healthy. When I first learned that my older son had asthma, I imagined that it would go away in a few weeks or months. I clung to that bit of denial, I guess, because it helped ease the fear and sadness as reality sank in. Brian was only 3, and deep down my husband and I knew we were facing a serious chronic disease that would probably hang...
Read the Learning to Live with Asthma article > >
- Have a history of smoking or have long-term respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which can make it hard to diagnose asthma.
- Have one or more other health conditions that can make asthma symptoms worse and complicate treatment, including sinusitis, heartburn, or heart failure. Some conditions, such as osteoporosis, can become worse when you use asthma medicines. Your doctor may prescribe asthma medicines that avoid making other medical problems worse and that interact the least with other medicines you may be taking.
- Have trouble performing lung function tests, which can make diagnosis and treatment more difficult. If you have trouble using a peak flow meter, it may be hard to know when lung function is decreasing. This can lead to delays in getting treatment and to undertreatment of your condition.
- Have trouble using inhalers properly.
- Don't always remember to take your medicines.

|Republic of Belarus
|February 28
Area 207,600 sq.km. Landlocked, fertile agricultural land with extensive forests on the North European plains. Surrounded by Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. Smallest of the three Slavic nations of the former USSR.
Capital Minsk 1,862,000. Urbanites 65%.
Slav 98.8%. Belarusian 6,715,000; Russian 3,265,000; Ukrainian 133,000.
All other peoples 1.2%.
Literacy 97.9%. Official languages Belarusian and Russian; many are more fluent in the latter. All indigenous languages 2. Languages with Scriptures 2Bi.
A strong agricultural and industrial base. The failure to change Soviet economic structures has fuelled inflation, hindered foreign investment and crippled economic development. Economic decline has been even worse than that of Russia and Ukraine. The dire consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster still massively impact the Belarusian economy and health services. HDI 0.763; 60th/174. Public debt 3% of GNP. Income/person $2150 (6.8% of USA).
A separate member of the UN since WWII, but Belarus had never been an independent state until 1991. Political leadership still clings to the autocratic Communist past and has alienated many foreign powers with its xenophobia and aggressive stance. The government continues to press for Belarus to be included in the Russian Federation.
The religious freedom of the post-Communist era seems to be fading. Christianity of all stripes has flourished in recent years, although the dominant Orthodox Church seeks to restrict the activities of other Christian groups. Protestant churches are refused building permits in the cities.
Missionaries from Belarus
Missionaries to Belarus
Challenges for Prayer
1 Belarus stumbled into an unexpected independence and is still searching for a national identity. Progress is crippled by the lack of political and economic freedom needed for growth. Pray for true democratic and religious freedom.
2 The cultural dominance of Poland and Russia lasted for many centuries. Pray for a truly indigenous expression of Belarusian Christianity to be developed and then spread using all methods: church services, theological education, literature, broadcasting.
3 The Chernobyl catastrophe in 1986 occurred in the Ukraine, but affected Belarus most severely. The environmental, economic, and psychological impact of the nuclear fallout has since devastated the country. Twenty-five percent of the land area much of it formerly productive agricultural land is considered uninhabitable. Radiation-related health problems still occur at 80 times the global average. Pray that in this climate of despair God may use believers as ministers of restoration and hope.
4 The post-Communist honeymoon with religion is ending. While the Orthodox Church enjoys privileged status as a Slavic religious entity, other denominations are experiencing opposition from the establishment. While many call themselves Christian, there is still a great need for renewal within the large Orthodox and Catholic structures. Pray for the Holy Spirit to sweep through Belarus, bringing people to personal faith in Christ.
5 Evangelical Christians are increasing despite low-level persecution. Pray that the various evangelical groups different denominations, registered and unregistered churches might be able to work together in unity. The inability of Evangelicals to use public buildings for church meetings and the forbidding of public evangelism hampers growth. Pray for:
a) The governmental and social pressure against any evangelism by believers to be lifted.
b) The cultural bias against evangelical Christianity to be overcome by Spirit-led sharing of the gospel.
c) Training of the hundreds of Belarusians in full- or part-time ministry. Ask the Lord to raise up bold and godly leaders to guide the church in His steps.
d) Greater cooperation to replace the mistrust between many denominations.
6 Missions. Belarus has received far less attention from missions than her Slavic neighbors, Russia and the Ukraine. Pray that the Lord might call more people to serve long-term in this needy land. Pray that Western missionaries in Belarus might have a sensitive and humble spirit, working as servants with the local churches. Pray for a spirit of wisdom in ministering which avoids drawing negative attention from hostile authorities and the media.
7 The less evangelized. There are some significant non-Christian minorities:
a) Jews. Nearly 50,000 Jews live in Minsk, but many are emigrating. There is a Messianic Jewish group in Minsk, but the majority still need to be reached.
b) Muslims. Small communities of Azeris and Tatars exist. Diverse Muslim immigrants are moving illegally into the most contaminated regions of the country, and have little chance to hear the gospel.
8 Christian help ministries for prayer:
a) The Bible Society (UBS) has found a widespread desire for the Bible and Children's Bibles in both official languages. Thousands are being distributed, and a new Belarusian New Testament has been commissioned in cooperation with the Orthodox Church.
b) Christian literature needs to be made more available. CLC has a presence in the country, but more solid evangelistic and teaching material needs to be translated into Belarusian and then distributed throughout the country.
c) EHC has reached every home, with millions receiving Christian tracts.
d) The JESUS film has been seen by most of the population in Belarusian or Russian. Resources for follow-up are still too limited to help all who are touched.
e) TWR has established a local base for programme production. They are also broadcasting into the country in both major languages.
