"People would miss out on so many wonderful things if they
only stuck with
what they knew.” "Music
comes out of silence and at the end it goes back to it. It's a journey." "Silence was where
the magic happened." The Music Shop, a

A clock is
an instrument used to measure, keep, and indicate time.
The clock is one of the oldest
human inventions, meeting the need to measure
intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day,
the lunar month, and the year.
Some predecessors to the modern clock
may be considered as "clocks" that are based on movement in nature: A sundial shows the time by displaying the
position of a shadow on a flat surface. There
is a range of duration timers, a well-known example being the hourglass. Water clocks, along with the sundials, are
possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments. A silent instrument missing such a striking mechanism has traditionally been
known as a timepiece.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, clockmaking flourished. The next development in accuracy occurred
after 1656 with the invention of the pendulum clock. A major stimulus to improving the accuracy and
reliability of clocks was the importance of precise time-keeping for
navigation. The electric clock was patented in 1840. The development of electronics in the 20th century led to
clocks with no clockwork parts at all. The
timekeeping element in every modern clock is a harmonic oscillator,
a physical object (resonator) that vibrates
or oscillates at a particular frequency. This object can be a pendulum, a tuning fork, a quartz crystal,
or the vibration of electrons in atoms as
they emit microwaves. See pictures and link to information on
specific clocks by mechanism, function

A grandfather
clock (also a longcase clock, tall-case clock, grandfather's
clock, or floor clock) is a tall, freestanding,
weight-driven pendulum clock with the pendulum held inside the tower or waist of the
case.

A samosa, sambusa, sambuus, samoosa,
or samboksa is a fried or baked dish with a savoury filling,
such as spiced potatoes, onions, peas, or lentils. It may take
different forms, including triangular, cone, or half-moon shapes, depending on
the region. The Indian style, often accompanied by a chutney, is probably the most widely-known of a broad family
of recipes from Africa to China, which have origins in medieval times or earlier. Samosas are a popular
entrée, appetizer, or snack in the local cuisines of the Indian
subcontinent, the Arabian Peninsula, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, the Mediterranean, the Horn of Africa, East Africa, North Africa, and South Africa. The
term samosa and its variants cover a family of pastries and dumplings popular
from north-eastern Africa to western China. An ancient recipe for samosa, widespread in
the Near East and India, involves mixing 1 cup of oil, 1 cup
of melted butter, 1 cup of warm water, and 1 teaspoon of salt with dough. A praise of samosa (as sanbusaj)
can be found in a 9th-century poem by the Persian poet Ishaq al-Mawsili. Recipes for
the dish are found in the 10th-13th century Arab cookery books, under the
names sanbusak, sanbusaq, and sanbusaj, all
of which derive from the Persian word sanbosag. Read more and

and photographer Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
If you’ve never attempted samosas at home
before, I think it’s time we all start. And if I can do it, so can you. Because I’m the least arty person I’ve ever
met. Origami was never my thing and
wrapping samosas is a bit like that. It
takes a few tries, but once you get it, you’ll be wrapping them like a boss. I have a step by step video recipe that’s going to make things even easier. I don’t make tall claims easily but I
think I’ve been looking for the best Indian punjabi samosa recipe all my life. Because I’m a samosa lover. More like an obsessive samosa lover with an
irresistible need to have samosas every week because I think they are the most
epic Indian snack ever invented! I mean
who can resist flaky samosa pastry, stuffed with a spicy, mouthwatering aloo
(potato) filling that's deep fried till golden? Not this girl!

before sailing on to Plymouth. At 252 feet, the monument is an engineering marvel and
the tallest granite tower in the United States.
