How to know that the diamond, gold or jade you bought is pure or not?

I believe most of us including me are fascinating with the charm of jewelry, diamond, or other precious stones. Because it is not only a precious decoration, an artwork, but also it is symbol of your social status, your wealth, your taste. Especially for the women who are addicted to the beauty. Well, there is a question, how do you know the diamond, gold, or jade you bought is pure or not? Can you simply believe the words that the salesman told to you? I am afraid not, because we can know them quickly and easily by ourselves.

The things and items you must need, a digital scale (I recommend the digital pocket scale, mini size and portable), two measuring cups, and the diamond, gold, or jade you want to measure.

Then here are the instructions.

First, put the diamond, gold, or jade on the digital pocket scale or digital jewelry scale, and get the readings, and that is the weight of the diamond, gold, or jade.

Second, fill one measuring cup with water.

Third, put the diamond, gold, or jade into the cup that is filled with water. At the same time, put another measuring cup underneath to catch the spilled water, and get the readouts from the cup, and that is the volume of the diamond, gold, or jade. And that is also the volume of the water.

Fourth, use the weight divided by the volume and you will get the density of the diamond, gold, or jade.

Fifth, compare the number with the one that listed on the package of the diamond, gold, or jade. If you get the same number, congratulations, you get the pure one. If the number you measured is much lesser than the number listed, I am sorry to tell you that the diamond, gold, or jade are mixed with other ingredients. And you can take necessary legal action to protect your interests.

You can clean the digital pocket scale by yourself

When you get a digital pocket scale, in order to be certain that it still function well, you may need to clean it regularly. Different from an ordinary scale, which can be scraped with a wet cloth, you have to take the digital pocket scale very carefully, and be cautious not to hurt it too much by wiping the dirt from it with a lumping hand. If you understand how to make the digital pocket scale clean, it will not be a hard work, and before you start to clean, you should make sure that you understand the manual.

Step 1 – Wipe Dirt on the surface

While cleaning the scale, you should be careful not to put too much pressure on the scale for which can do harm to the weighing tray. Try to clean the sides and top of the scale well and rub as much dirt as possible from the edges. Be careful that do not make the loose flakes you have just cleaned off do not become stuck on the sides of the digital pocket scale. Some electrical cleaning powder, a form of dry soap which is suitable for use on electrical devices, will be helpful to clean the scale well

Step 2 – Wipe Dirt on the sides

Clean the sides by using a pipe cleaner. Get the cleaner through the sides of the digital pocket scale, ensuring that the weighing pan won’t be damaged. Move the pipe cleaner around the 2 parts of the digital pocket scale should be useful to clean any dirt that has become trapped there. Use a dry piece of tissue paper if you think that you need something smaller, or a paper envelope. Any of these things will work ok.

Step 3 – Wipe sticking Dirt

There is a case that you may find that some of the dirt on the digital pocket scale which bought for a little time cannot be easily wiped away with a cloth, but requires something to loosen the sticking dirt. However, you cannot use any form of moist surface cleanser, if a dry cloth does not work, then try to clean it with a pin. Small particles can be scraped, and a magnifying glass will make you clear where the point of the pin is going. If you are not sure about using a pin on such a delicate area, try to use a sewing needle, because it can also finish the job.

Some thoughts from Sumo wrestlers

Sumo is a competitive full-contact sport where a wrestler attempts to force another wrestler out of a circular ring or to touch the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet. The sport originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally.(From Wiki )

Sumo wrestlers enjoy high social status, and they are the idol of many young girls in Japan. Every Sumo wrestler is large and firm-fleshed, Because there is no classification of levels in Japan’s Sumo, the sumo wrestler who gets more weight will have the advantage when fighting with other sumo wrestlers. Therefore, in order to get good results in match, to gain more weight becomes a very important practice to sumo wrestlers.

In order to gain more weight, sumo wrestlers are usually taking a kind of fatten method that based on food-taking and sleeping. On daily life, they eat special meals called “Herakles hot pot”, which is a typical “Nutrimeal” that putting beef, fish, soy products, vegetables in a large stew pot.Sumo wrestlers only eat at noon and night. Both are “Herakles hot pot”, they only differ in tastes.Usually after the meals, some sumo wrestlers still eat large amount of desserts like cream cake, and go to bed after eating. The amount of food that Sumo wrestlers who have large body take can equal to the amount that 5-6 ordinary people take.

Compared with other sports, sumo wrestlers live short life relatively. Wrestlers are overeating, obesity, which are susceptible to heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, liver disease and body functional decline. It is just normal case that their legs can be easily injured by overwhelmed weight. Statistics showed that the average lifespan of sumo wrestlers is only 57 years old.

To let the sumo wrestlers enjoy a long life, some people suggest them to lose weight. Because after they remove the excess fat, the will be easily get far away from the disease caused by the obesity. Well, it is right. However, it is far to reach that goal. When the sumo wrestlers stand on the normal digital weight scale, the digital weight scale will be easily broken, so they need special weight scales that not only can stand the weight of the sumo wrestlers, but also can provide the accurate numbers of their body, so that they can easily know their body information and take necessary actions.

Besides the weight measuring tools, they also need professional diet advice from doctor. Some one take granted that only eat less can make you become slim. It is totally wrong, it will interrupt the normal metabolism of the body, and they do nothing good to the body. So learn experience from the people who have successful experience.

Lastly, i think it is the most important that have a stong will when losing weight. Never give up.

The Relationship Between Trademark and Trademark Translation

The definition of trademark in the United States Encyclopedia is “A trademark is a word, name, symbol, logo, or a combination of these elements, the manufacturer or production of commercial goods to make their product different from others (the United States Encyclopedia 26:917).” By this definition, the main function of trademarks is identifying. However, with the deepening of international trade, the choice of trademark plays an increasingly important role in international markets strategy. To protect their market against competition from other brands, trademarks is not only playing a role in recognition, but also bearing kinds of responsibilities, such as establishing a good reputation, representing the high quality of products and stimulating consumption, so on and so forth. Therefore, whether the translation of trademarks success or not relate much to the product acceptance and even the establishing of a brand image.

Trademark translation is closely related to a consumer’s response of the target country, which is often directly reflected in the product’s sales. A wonderful translation can let a company make huge profits, but an error or inappropriate translation may seriously threat the product as well as its manufacturer’s reputation and survival. For example, “SourcingMap” is the trademark of a China company,  it is the conbination of two words, “Sourcing” and “Map”. Simple but meaningful. You can buy various kinds of goods from it, because it is the Source, the origin, and it is also the map, you can easily find where the things you want. Moreover, if a trademark is considered as the representative of defective product, the image of the host country may be destroyed in the target country. We can see that a translation of the trademark in the target country markets must work well as in the local market. In other words, translation of the goods conveys information to consumers of the targeted countries that is consistent with manufacturers’ expected objectives. This means the realization of trademark function is the main criteria for evaluating the quality of trademark translation.

To sum up，the purpose of trademark translation is to promote the products and make them accepted by customers. Thus trademark translation is crucial to the company who wants to open up a new market overseas. As the American scholar Ai • Rees said: “A translation is good or bad, there are millions of dollars of difference in sales.” Due to lots of practical realities, language barriers and cultural differences, it is not so easy to get an appropriate and precise trademark translation. So in trademark translation, we not only need to respect and have a good understanding of the differences between two different religions, customes, and nations, as well as the good insight of the associations of translation, but also need to combine the features of products, the translation should also reflect the information of products. Meanwhile, we should try to make the translations simple, and cater for the customers’ psychology so that it can be easily kept in customers’ mind and accepted by the customers. Sometimes, trademark translation can borrow the words that embody target country’s cultural connotations. Bearing these in mind, we should try to use all kinds of translation skills and methods, like omitting sound, adding words, literal translation, transliteration and mixed translation, so on so forth. Therefore, the translation can get close to the original mark as well as achieving the goal that promote products.

Besides knowing the culture and custome differences, and having a better understanding of translation skills, trademark translation lies more in translators’ innovative and creative mind. In fact, trademark translation itself is a kind of creation. Creation mind can give us a kind of refreshing feeling. A good creation of trademark translation can help the company become populor and famous in the target country, and the products can get much recognition, which is very helpful and useful to the sales and devolopment of the company.

How to calibrate digital weight scale

With the time flies, every digital weight scale will be inaccurate due to age-long use and will need recalibrating. A scale showing an imprecise weight can be very frustrating, and will continue to produce inaccurate readouts until it is calibrated. Ordinary scales contain a knob or other kinds of tools for calibration, which let the digital weight scale become easier to obtain the needed calibration precision. To calibrate digital weight scales, you will need a digital weight scale and two objects which you know the weight for. These two objects should be different in weights. For example, an object weights six pounds, and another object weights two pounds and seven ounces.

Firstly, put one of the objects onto the digital weight scale. Take note of the actual weight of the object, and the readings displayed for the object by the scale. Calculate the difference between the weight displayed on the scale and the actual weight in order to find out exactly how much of a difference the scale is displaying from the actual weight.

Now comes to the calibration process. Placing the object on the scale, turn the calibration knob to calibrate the scale until the weight showed on the screen is the actual weight of the item. When you turn the calibration knob, be sure to do so in a gentle manner to ensure that you do not further twist the calibration of the scale. The weight may be off by several pounds, or only a couple of ounces; which shows how important it truly is to adjust the scale very carefully. Adjusting the scale in a rough manner may result in damaging the digital weight scale or even your hands.

Remove the object from the weight scale. The scale should read “Zero” when the object is removed. Put the object back on the scale. Repeat this action two to three times so as to make sure if the scale is accurately calibrated and continues to display the actual weight of the object. Remove the first object and add the second one. If the weight is displayed correctly on the scale, then you know you have accurately recalibrated the scale.

You should perform this calibration process periodically, so that you can continually achieve accurate readouts from the digital weight scale. Meanwhile, you should maintain the digital weight scale well, so that the lifespan of the digital weight scale can be expanded.

Mick Jagger-forever bad boy

Different from Beatles, Mick Jagger and his teammates are mostly born in British middle class, and educated in London best school. When the Beatles swept the world by their neat suits and pleasing songs, these noble boys adventured into the music world with an image of slovenly and slipshod. They also sang love songs, but it is a sort of simple and direct style. They opened their mouth and shouted to the world directly and loudly, whatever the world agree or not.

It seems that Mick Jagger should be a born bad boy. He was the most “fashion” person in the 60th, and any actions that are inconsistent with social norms, he seemed to be one of the leaders and pioneers. But you’d better not take his rebellion seriously, for it may be an ignorant joke he made with you.

He had a lot of romances, in which two models became his wife. Any new about them will become the headlines of a magazine or newspaper or the topic of the television. Even if he is now 60 years old, the newspapers are still talking about how he planed to take away the wife of another rock musician and eventually failed. But women are still mysteries in his childlike eyes. He had not felt tired, because he had not understood.

He has a strange, uninhibited temperament. He has big lips and crooked smile, and his famous tongue. As long as you never cared him, he will cry and ask you to take a look at him. The standard of ugly and handsome may be changed by Mick Jagger. Although he has been full of wrinkles in his face, you still can feel what is called the ugly and beauty in a short moment. So Mick Jagger is not a man, he is just a kid. The child’s love, naive, direct, emotional, irresponsible, all can be seen in Mick Jagger. So in Mick Jagger’s love, there are no wrinkles, no times.
