It was the last episode to air on The WB network and therefore, the network called it the series finale. The TV series was then picked up by rival UPN for its sixth and seventh seasons. Seven years after airing, the episode was both nominated for and won in the Drama Category for Television's Most Memorable Moment at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards, beating The X Files, Grey's Anatomy, Brian's Song and Dallas although the sequence for this award was not aired.Contents1 Plot synopsis 1.1 Summary 1.2 Expanded overview 2 Acting 2.1 Starring 2.2 Guest starring 2.3 Co-starring 3 Production details 3.1 Music 3.2 Translations 4 Themes 5 Quotes and trivia 6 Continuity 6.1 Arc significance 7 External links 8 References // Plot synopsisBuffy and Dawn.SummaryBuffy faces Glory as the ritual commences.Expanded overviewBuffy slays a vampire to save a teenage boy in an alley. The Scooby Gang, knowing that Glory has the advantage over them, make plans to try to avert the apocalypse that will result if her plans succeed. None of them have any ideas apart from killing Buffy's sister Dawn, which Buffy refuses to consider. Xander reluctantly suggests killing Ben as, although he is an innocent, his death will destroy Glory. Giles however points out that it's unlikely Ben will resurface before the ritual. In the end Anya suggests the use of two items that had been found earlier in the series: the Dagon Sphere, which is supposed to repel Glory, and the hammer of Olaf the Troll God. They then try to find out where Glory's plan might be occurring, and Tara, who had been made insane by Glory in a previous episode, tries to lead them there saying that she has a big day and needs to be somewhere. All of Glory's victims who had been turned insane instinctively knew where Glory was performing the ritual and were drawn there to assist.Xander and Anya search for the Dagon Sphere in the Magic Box's basement; Xander proposes to Anya but she tells him to give the ring to her again, "after the world doesn't end." Buffy heads back to her house with Spike in tow. She invites him back into her house, and they both let one another know they respect each other. Buffy asks Spike to protect Dawn, and Spike tells Buffy he knows she'll never love him, but appreciates her for treating him like a man. Meanwhile, Dawn is tied up at the top of a tower that Glory's minions have constructed for the ritual to open the gates between dimensions, allowing Glory to return home but setting all hell loose on Earth in the process.The group prepares to leave, waiting until sundown with the aim of delaying the ritual that will dissolve the barriers between dimensions long enough for Glory's window of opportunity to pass, if not to kill her. As Tara arrives at the tower, she is accosted by Glory who demands to know what she is doing there. Glory is then ambushed by Willow, who performs a of spell that restores Tara's sanity, confuses and dazes Glory, and throws all three of them backwards violently. Glory, still dazed, decides that she needs a brain to psychically feed on and sees Buffy. She orders her minions to guard the path up the tower.Buffy brandishes the Dagon Sphere and tosses it to Glory, who is obviously in pain holding it. Glory manages to crush it in her hands. In this time Buffy runs up and attacks her, initially gaining the upper hand. Giles, Spike, and Anya attack the minions at the base of the tower, with the hope of breaking through to rescue Dawn. Glory regains her senses during the fight with Buffy and throws a punch that is hard enough to knock Buffy's head off, revealing that she was actually fighting the Buffybot. The real Buffy sneaks up behind Glory and strikes her with Olaf's hammer. Glory is thrown backwards into a wall by the force of the strike. Buffy then forces her way past Glory's minions and attempts to climb the tower. However, Glory again regains her senses and quickly catches up with Buffy. They fight on the path up the tower and Buffy desperately tries to climb higher, but is hindered by Glory, eventually resulting in both of them falling off the tower to the ground. The hammer lands several feet away from Buffy and Glory confronts her before she can retrieve it. Glory is knocked off...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about two foot pins, seo internet promotion, .

Pretty soon, other major British railway companies had their own carriage(s) dedicated for use by the Royal Family or other dignitaries.In 1948, upon the formation of British Railways, the individual regions continued to maintain their own Royal Train carriages. A single "Royal Train" was only formed in 1977 as a response to the demands of the Silver Jubilee. This train has been maintained since privatisation of the UK's railways by EWS, although the Royal Family has travelled on ordinary service trains more frequently in recent years to minimize costs.Australian Royal TrainsKing George VI and Queen Elizabeth on tour in Victoria in 1927.Further information: Victorian Railways Royal TrainThe various government railway operators of Australia have operated a number of royal trains for members of the Monarchy of Australia on their Royal visits to Australia.South African Royal TrainsFrom 5 February to 10 April 1934, Prince George, Duke of Kent toured South Africa in a special train known as The White Train.The three month long British Royal Family tour of South Africa in 1947 saw the ordering of eight ivory-painted air-conditioned saloons from Britain, three of which were built to Blue Train sleeping car standards, while the remaining five were special saloons for use by the Royal family and Field Marshal Jan Smuts, the South African Prime Minister.After the tour the Blue Train type saloons were painted in the Blue Train's livery for service on the Blue Train, while the remaining special saloons became part of the White Train used exclusively by the Governor-General of South Africa and later the President of the Republic of South Africa.Japanese Royal TrainJR East E655 series, one of the dedicated train cars for the Imperial Family.In Japan, trains for the Emperor, the Empress, or the Empress Dowager are called Omeshi Ressha (????? ?), literally meaning "trains that they use", albeit with extremely polite word for "use" (???). Trains for the other members of the Imperial Family are called Goj?y? Ressha (????? ?), meaning "trains to ride" in slightly more common language. There are train cars dedicated for the service K?shitsu-y? Kyakusha (????? ?, "Carriage for the Imperial Family"). However, both Omeshi Ressha and Goj?y? Ressha refer to a non-scheduled service solely operated for the Family. In other words, normal train cars can also be called by the either term, when they are operated for such a service. These royal trains are operated not only by JR, but also by other private operators as well. Dedicated cars, however, have been only used by JNR. After JNR was disorganized, all the cars were succeeded by JR East. Consequently, now, the cars are almost always used within JR East lines.In the modern period, royal trains are used less and less, as the current Emperor Akihito does not want his country's people to be troubled by non-scheduled trains. When he moves inside Japan, he generally uses an airplane, or a scheduled normal train with a reserved carriage. Royal trains are still operated for a few times per year, but they mainly function as a cordial reception for state guests, rather than a mere transportation of the Family.Norwegian Royal TrainMain article: Norwegian Royal TrainThe Norwegian State Railways maintains a set of royal train carriages.

Their buildings now dominate the Brightside area of East Sheffield. The company can trace its heritage back to the start of the steel industry in Sheffield in the 1700s. The firms of Vickers, Cammells, and Armstrong-Whitworth were all Nationalised to form British Steel in the 1960s.The Company has had a chequered history due to the cyclical demand for specialist forgings & castings. In 2005 it was the subject of a management buy out.CapabilitiesThe Company specialises in forged and cast parts for suppliers to the engineering, nuclear, oil, petrochemical, and process industries world-wide.Sheffield Forgemasters currently has the capacity for pouring the largest single ingot (570 tonnes) in Europe. The two forging presses in use can exert a pressure of 2500 tonnes and 10000 tonnes on a billet of steel. The 2,500 ton press dates back to 1897 and was originally steam powered, latter being upgraded several times to its current hydraulically operated state.Sheffield FloodThe company was severely affected by the Sheffield Floods of 2007, when the works were under several feet of water, but after a massive clean up effort was back in action within weeks of the devastation.ExpansionDue to increasing demand for their specialist services the firm has ordered a new 4,000 ton forging press to increase the range of forgings they can supply (26 February 2008).

The Steadfast Tin Soldier

I want to introduct something about Pigment Foil. Pigment foil is very suitable for paper and label with higher quality, favourable price The Steadfast Tin Soldier Illustration by Vilhelm PedersenAuthorHans Christian AndersenOriginal title'Den Standhaftige Tinsoldat'CountryDenmarkLanguageDanishGenre(s)Fairy talePublisherC. A. ReitzelPublication date7 April 1838Media typeprint"The Steadfast Tin Soldier" (Danish: Den Standhaftige Tinsoldat) is a fairy tale by Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen about the love a tin soldier holds for a paper ballerina. After several perilous adventures, the tin soldier and his love perish in a fire. The tale was first published in 1838.Like "The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep" (1845), "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" displays Andersen's talent for investing ordinary household objects with life, character, and personality. Both tales narrate romances between household objects but differ in that the 1838 story ends with the lovers joined in death while the 1845 story ends with the lovers living (in fairy tale fashion) happily ever after. Andersen may have taken inspiration for the tale from memories of his few cherished childhood toys.Though the title has been translated variously as "The Brave Tin Soldier" and "The Courageous Tin Soldier", the story is generally known in the English speaking world as "The Steadfast Tin Soldier". The tale has been adapted in various media including ballet and animated film.Contents1 Plot 2 Analysis 3 Publication 4 Adaptations 5 See also 6 References 7 External links // PlotOn his birthday, a boy receives a set of tin soldiers and arrays them on a table top. One soldier stands on a single leg as there wasn't enough metal that was used to cast the set of soldiers to fully form him. Nearby, he spies a lovely paper ballerina with a spangle on her sash. She too is standing on one leg and the soldier falls in love. That night, a troll, a "black bogey" in the form of a Jack-in-the-box among the toys angrily warns the soldier to avert his ardent gaze from the ballerina, but the soldier ignores him. The next day, the soldier falls from a windowsill (presumably the work of the troll) and lands in the street. Two boys find the soldier, place him in a paper boat, and set him sailing in the gutter. The boat and its passenger wash into a sewer, where a rat demands the soldier pay a toll. Sailing on, the boat is washed into a canal, where the tin solder is swallowed by a fish. When the fish is caught and cut open, the tin solder finds himself once again on the table top before the ballerina. Inexplicably, a boy suddenly throws the tin soldier into the fire in the stove. A draught blows the ballerina into the fire with him, and she is consumed at once; only her spangle remains. The maid later discovers the tin soldier has melted into the shape of a heart.AnalysisAndersen, 1854Andersen probably drew the inspiration for The Steadfast Tin Soldier from his own childhood experiences. As a boy he took great care of his few toys, and performed puppet plays at home on a handmade stage. As a youth in Copenhagen, he attended performances of the Royal Danish Ballet, which, at that time, was on the road to the pinnacle of artistic achievement under balletmaster and choreographer, August Bournonville. Andersen remained a lifelong balletomane.Joan G. Haahr writes in The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales: "The story is unusual among Andersen's early tales, both in its emphasis on sensual desire and in its ambiguities. Blind fate, not intention, determines all events. Moreover, the narrative questions the very decorum it praises. The tin soldier's passive acceptance of whatever happens to him, while exemplifying pietistic ideals of self-denial, also contributes to his doom. Were he to speak and act, the soldier might gain both life and love. Restrained, however, by inhibition and convention, he finds only tragedy and death. The tale is often read autobiographically, with the soldier viewed as symbolizing Andersen's feelings of inadequacy with women, his passive acceptance of bourgeois class attitudes, or his sense of alienation as an artist and an outsider, from full participation in everyday life."The story is generally taken to be a sad one, though, like many of Andersen's other tales (The Little Mermaid, The Little Match Girl), it implies that the tragedy of physical death is outweighed by the permanent rewards which follow. Central to this story is the soldier's unwavering sense of duty in the face of his hardships. Andersen concludes the story on a symbolic note: throughout the sufferings and difficulty of life, only love is eternal.PublicationThe tale was first published in Copenhagen by C.A.

The Garden's main task was to evaluate for cultivation, crops which were of potential economic importance, including those yielding fruits, vegetables, spices and other raw materials. This first Garden closed in 1829.It was not until 30 years later that the present Singapore Botanic Gardens began in 1859, when the Agri Horticultural Society was granted 32 hectares of land in Tanglin by the colonial government, which had obtained it from merchant Hoo Ah Kay or Whampoa, in exchange for land at Boat Quay.Laurence Niven was hired as superintendent and landscape designer to turn what were essentially overgrown plantations and a tangle of virgin rainforest into a public park. The layout of the Gardens as it is today is largely based on Niven's design. The Agri Horticultural Society, however, ran out of funds and, in 1874, the colonial government took over the management of the Gardens.The first rubber seedlings came to the gardens from Kew in 1877. A naturalist, Henry Nicholas Ridley, or Mad Ridley as he was known, became director of the gardens in 1878 and spearheaded rubber cultivation. Successful in his experiments with rubber planting, Ridley convinced planters across Malaya to adopt his methods. The results were astounding; Malaya became the world's number one producer and exporter of natural rubber.Another achievement was the pioneering of orchid hybridisation by Professor Eric Holttum, director of the gardens from 1925 to 1949. His techniques led to Singapore being one of the world's top centres of commercial orchid growing. Today it also has the largest collection of tropical plant specimens.During the Japanese Occupation of Singapore from 1942 to 1945, Hidezo Tanakadate, a professor of geology from Tohoku Imperial University took over control of the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the Raffles Museum. During his tenure at the beginning of the occupation, he ensured that no looting occurred in the Gardens and the museum. Both institutions continued to function as scientific institutions. Holttum and Edred John Henry Corner were interned in the Gardens and instructed to continue their horticultural work. The Gardens was also renamed as Sh?nan Botanic Gardens (?????). Later that year, Dr Kwan Koriba, a retired professor of botany from the Imperial University of Tokyo, arrived as Director of the Gardens, a post he held until the end of the war.After the war, the Gardens was handed back to the control of the British. Eventually it played an important role during the "greening Singapore" campaign and Garden City campaign during the early independence years.AttractionsNational Orchid GardenThe main attraction within the botanic gardens.

There are many different types, ranging from historical hand-made mechanical instruments to high-precision electronic devices. Modern electrometers based on vacuum tube or solid state technology can be used to make voltage and charge measurements with very low leakage currents, down to 1 femtoampere. A simpler but related instrument, the electroscope, works on similar principles but only indicates the relative magnitudes of voltages or charges.Contents1 Simple charge indicating device 2 Modern electrometers 2.1 Vibrating reed electrometers 2.2 Valve electrometers 2.3 Solid-state electrometers 3 Experiments with an electroscope 4 Patents 5 See also 6 External links // Simple charge indicating deviceGold-leaf electroscopeThe gold-leaf electroscope was one of the first sensitive instruments used to indicate electric charge. It is still used for science demonstrations but has been superseded in most applications by electronic measuring instruments. The instrument consists of two thin leaves of gold foil suspended from an electrode. When the electrode is charged by induction or by contact, the leaves acquire similar electric charges and repel each other due to the Coulomb force. Their separation is a direct indication of the net charge stored on them. The leaves may be enclosed in a glass envelope to protect them from draughts, and the envelope may be evacuated to minimize charge leakage. A further cause of charge leakage is ionizing radiation, so to prevent this, the electrometer must be surrounded by lead shielding. It should be noted that this type of electroscope usually acts as an indicator and not a measuring device, although it can be calibrated. The Braun electroscope replaced the gold-leaf electroscope for more accurate measurements.The most common radiation measurement device, and widely used in the nuclear industry, the Quartz Fibre Electrometer (or QFE) personal dosimeter, is actually a ruggedized, calibrated electroscope. It uses the leakage effect mentioned above to detect ionizing radiation.The instrument was developed in the 1700s by several researchers, among them Abraham Bennet and Alessandro Volta.Modern electrometersIn modern parlance, an electrometer is a highly sensitive electronic voltmeter whose input impedance is so high that the current flowing into it can be considered, for practical purposes, to be zero. They are of use in nuclear physics as they are able to measure the tiny charges left in matter by the passage of ionizing radiation. The most common use for modern electrometers is probably the measurement of radiation with ionization chambers, in instruments such as geiger counters.Vibrating reed electrometersVibrating reed electrometers use a variable capacitor formed between a moving electrode (in the form of a vibrating reed) and a fixed input electrode. As the distance between the two electrodes varied, the capacitance also varies and electric charge is forced in and out of the capacitor. The ac signal produced by the flow of this charge is amplified and used as an analogue for the dc voltage applied to the capacitor. The input resistance of the electrometer is determined solely by the leakage resistance of the capacitor (although its ac input impedance is clearly less than infinity).For convenience of use, the vibrating reed assembly is often attached by a cable to the rest of the electrometer. This allows for a relatively small unit to be located near the charge to be measured while the much larger reed-driver and amplifier unit can be located wherever it is convenient for the operator.Valve electrometersValve type electrometers use an unbiased vacuum tube with a very high gain (transconductance) and input resistance. The input current is allowed to flow into the high impedance grid, and the voltage so generated is vastly amplified in the anode (plate) circuit. The best examples of these valves have leakage currents as low as a few femtoamperes (10-15 amperes). This type of valve can be ruined by handling with ungloved hands as the salts left on the glass envelope can provide leakage paths for these tiny currents.Solid-state electrometersThe most modern electrometers consist of a solid state amplifier circuit using FETs, connections for external measurement devices, and also possibly a display, data-logging connections, and/or a high-voltage supply. The amplifier magnifies small currents so that they are more easily measured. The external connections are usually of a co-axial or tri-axial design, and allow attachment of diodes or ionization chambers for radiation measurement. The display or data-logging connections allow the user to see the data or record it for later...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about water temperature indicator, Meter Air Flow, .

Scarification, in botany, involves cutting the seed coat using abrasion, thermal stress, or chemicals to encourage germination. In alternative contexts scarification may refer to the cutting of concrete using hydrodemolition, or as a permanent body modification, etching designs, pictures, or words into the skin.Contents1 In botany 2 In gardening 3 In construction 4 Anatomical modification 4.1 History 4.2 Reasons 4.3 Methods 4.3.1 Branding 4.3.2 Cutting 4.3.3 Abrasion 4.4 Healing 4.5 Dangers/cautions 5 Line note references 6 External links // In botanyScarification is a natural process important for germination of many species' seeds. This process involves the breaching of the natural seed coating by mechanical, thermal or microbial methods. While this process occurs naturally in the wild, humans have developed techniques to emulate the natural processes for some seeds used in cultivation. In the case of chaparral plant communities, many species' seeds require fire scarification to achieve germination; an exception to that phenomenon is Western poison oak, whose thick seed coatings provide a time delayed effect for germination, but do not require fire scarification.In gardeningScarification or de-thatching of lawns or turf is a mechanical process whereby the surface and subsurface of the lawn, green or sports pitch is rigorously abraded by penetrating metal blades, tines or prongs. The process is usually carried out by machines of a professional standard which are normally powered by petrol engines. Smaller, less rigorous electric machines are also available for the domestic market. The process of scarifying is designed to remove thatch from lawns. Thatch is a build up of organic matter that can stifle the growth and health of grass or turf. Removing the thatch helps the grass by encouraging it to thicken up and also makes it stronger and less susceptible to disease. Reducing thatch levels increases the levels of water, air and nutrients that can get through to the root zone of the grass plants. Significant thatch problems in lawns can cause diseases and encourages moss to grow in the areas where grass has died. A by product of scarifying or de-thatching is that moss is also removed and depending on how deep the scarifying blades are set, root cutting can also occur and this in turn also helps grass to thicken up over time. Scarifying is normally carried out in autumn or spring. When scarifying or de-thatching not all thatch should be removed as a small amount of thatch is beneficial to the lawn. A lawn that has excessive thatch may feel spongy when trod upon.In constructionScarification of concrete can be done using hydrodemolition, or hydro scarification, and high speed scarification. The depth of removal depends on the application, but usually does not exceed 1/4" to 3/4". The use of scarification on concrete is used to provide a better bond profile with an overlay of the same material. Scarification sometimes follows an initial milling of a surface using a large mechanical grinder. The hydro scarification following this process can have the effect of eliminating micro-fractures produced by the impact of the milling machine. The absence of micro-fractures and the creation of a better bond profile, both help to create a better bond strength with the concrete overlay.Anatomical modificationSee also: Body modificationIn the process of body scarification, scars are formed by cutting or branding the skin. Scarification is sometimes called cicatrization (from the French equivalent).HistoryAn initiation ceremony located in Korogo Village, Sepik River, Papua New Guinea, 1975Scarification has been used for many reasons in many different cultures:Scarification has been used as a rite of passage in adolescence, or to denote the emotional state of the wearer of the scars, such as times of sorrow or well-being. This is common among Australian Aboriginal and Sepik River tribes in New Guinea, amongst others.[verification needed] Scarification by deliberately burning skin is called branding and has historically been used to mark slaves and criminals, usually with the brand being visible and often letter-coded to reflect the crime. The M?ori of New Zealand used a form of ink rubbing scarification to produce facial tattoos known as "moko." Moko were considered to make the body complete as M?ori bodies were considered to be naked without these marks. Moko were unique to each person and served as a sort of signature. Some M?ori chiefs even used the pattern of their moko as their signatures on land treaties with Europeans. They were derived by their father's moko/moku on the left of the face, the...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about lead acid machinery, chemical mixer machine, .
