We guarantee that the pictured item is an original Girard Perregaux watch.
Constant Girard, an unusually creative and perfectionist watchmaker, established together with his brother a watch factory in 1852. Soon after, Constant married Marie Perregaux, who also came from a clockmaker family, thus renaming the business as "Girard-Perregaux". The most famous model is the "Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges" of 1867. This pocketwatch won several gold medals at international exhibitions. It is said that Girard-Perregaux produced the first wristwatches in series around the year 1880. To this day the business is highly respected.

Question: I have found several of these large black slugs in my garden. I haven't come across them before. Can you tell me what they are? I was also wondering if they are native or introduced and whether they are likely to cause much damage in my garden. Answer: Thank-you for sending your slug to the Discovery Centre at Melbourne Museum. We sent it to our invertebrate department and they have identified it as the species Arion ater (commonly known as the Black Slug). Black Slugs are large land slugs; a fully-extended adult can be 15 cm long. They have a dark brown to black body, occasionally mottled to variegated with rows of prominent tubercules. Their foot is fringed with black and orange or yellow stripes. Black Slugs cover themselves in thick, sticky mucus which serves to keep them moist and protect them from predators (it apparently tastes quite foul). This mucus can be quite difficult to remove from our skin. Black Slugs are native to Europe. They are considered not to be good world travellers and, until recently, their presence in Australia has only been recorded in a few localities. The Melbourne Museum Discovery Centre first received a request to identify a Black Slug in 2001 and we have only received one or two enquiries about this species each year since then. Black Slugs are still not considered to be established in Australia. However, from what we've learned from the members of the public who have sent them in, there is a population of these slugs in the Dandenongs (one enquirer reported that he had collected 4000 Black Slugs on his Dandenong property).
In 2005, we received a specimen from the Otway Ranges (this was the museum's first record of Arion ater from this area). Records from other museums show that the species is also present in parts of New South Wales and South Australia. So far at least, they seem to be restricted to gardens and similar cultivated habitats. Black Slugs are regarded as garden pests in Britain and Europe. They can cause damage to seedlings in spring, but their preferred diet consists of rotting vegetation, fungi, manure and even dead animals. Despite their unpleasant-tasting mucus, Black Slugs do have some natural predators. These include hedgehogs, badgers, shrews and moles. None of these species occur in Australia.
Thanks for your query about slug eggs. We've sent this to one of our experts and will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.
Sounds serious, Carol. We'll get back to you as soon as we've heard back from the relevant Collection Manager.
Okay, Carol. We've been in touch with staff in both our Live Exhibits and Invertebrates areas who have come back with their advice. Regarding the eggs, it's likely that the salt-water solution will have been sufficient to rupture the walls of the eggs and kill them effectively. Ammonia would be another effective solution. As for the outbreak, our records suggest that populations of Arion ater seem to occur between November and March, usually following periods of wet weather. As recently as 2007, the species was reported as "no longer in Australia," despite isolated pockets in the Dandenongs and Otways that provide suitable conditions for them to establish breeding populations. It's because they are not widely recognised as "established" in Australia that there is such a dearth of literature on their potential distribution and their effect on native fauna and flora.
Thanks for this information, Abigail. We've passed it on to staff in the Museum. Unfortunately we cannot offer advice about controlling the pest. You may consider contacting a professional pest-controller about the problem. The Department of Sustainability and Environment would be the people to contact about any collective response to the outbreak; we're sure they would appreciate localised reports such as these.
We really need to see an image or examine a specimen to be sure.
It sounds like it could possibly be Arion ater, (a large & black slug introducer from Europe) however we really need to examine the specimen in order to provide an accurate identification.
Based on the few records that we have, population explosions of Arion ater seems to occur from around November - March, usually following periods of wet weather.
It is interesting that as recently as 2007, Arion ater was reported as "no longer occurring in Australia", however contrary to this report, it seems that a few isolated pockets in the Dandenongs & Otways provide suitable conditions to for them to be able to establish breeding populations.
Since they are largely not regarded as being established, there is a dearth of literature available on their potential distribution or their effect on native fauna & flora.
Unfortunately, Museum Victoria is not qualified to provide advice on how best to eradicate slugs.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi Max, This sort of information is not really kept by Australian state or federal institutions, but rather by the issuing entity which in this case would ...

With over 40 billion web pages, the importance of optimizing a search engine's performance is essential.
Solr is an open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project. Full-text search, faceted search, hit highlighting, dynamic clustering, database integration, and rich document handling are just some of its many features. Solr is highly scalable thanks to its distributed search and index replication.
Solr is written in Java and runs as a standalone full-text search server within a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat or Jetty. Solr uses the Lucene Java search library at its core for full-text indexing and search, and has REST-like HTTP/XML and JSON APIs that make it usable with most popular programming languages. Solr's powerful external configuration allows it to be tailored to many types of application without Java coding, and it has a plugin architecture to support more advanced customization.
With "Apache Solr Beginner's Guide" you will learn how to configure your own search engine experience. Using real data as an example, you will have the chance to start writing step-by-step, simple, real-world configurations and understand when and where to adopt this technology.
"Apache Solr Beginner's Guide" will start by letting you explore a simple search over real data. You will then go through a step-by-step description that gives you the chance to explore several practical features. At the end of the book you will see how Solr is used in different real-world contexts.
Using data from public domains like DBpedia, you will define several different configurations, exploring some of the most interesting Solr features, such as faceted search and navigation, auto-suggestion, and rich document indexing. You will see how to configure different analysers for handling different data types, without programming.
You will learn the basics of Solr, focusing on real-world examples and practical configurations.
Written in a friendly, example-driven format, the book includes plenty of step-by-step instructions and examples that are designed to help you get started with Apache Solr.
This book is an entry level text into the wonderful world of Apache Solr. The book will center around a couple of simple projects such as setting up Solr and all the stuff that comes with customizing the Solr schema and configuration. This book is for developers looking to start using Apache Solr who are stuck or intimidated by the difficulty of setting it up and using it.

Comments about oreilly Apache Solr Beginner's Guide:
I was given the task of implementing Solr (Open Solr) search for one of our websites. Within a day I had it working how we wanted due to this book. I now use it as a reference to implement things such as facets, spelling, "more like this" et al. The book helps immensely as it saves lots of time crawling the internet. It is well written and very coherent.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good basic at Apache Solr
By pekollik
from Tampere, Finland
I was total newbie with Apache Solr but I do have some java studies background. This was given me good jump start to dive into world of this book. From the very first examples given at the book , I actually started to like Apache Solr and this book very much as it is giving me good learning experience on issues of how to conduct full-text search, faceted search etc.in practise at Java backend. Overall, I dare to say it gives good beginners view of what kind of results one could reach at their web sites/applications by putting engine such as Apache Solr under the hood of their Java (web) installation. As soon as you manage to do your local installation of Solr , there is plenty of good receipts on this book e.g how to do indexed search with Solr and at the same time it will teach your basic concepts of how to conduct and configure modern own search engine for your (web) customer.

Wonderful Book
By Vishnu
from Bangalore, IN
Apache Solr Beginner's Guide is a very good book with lot of fundamentals covered for learning solr. I am a lucene beginner before starting this book. I do have knowledge about lucene before starting this book.That made me bit easy for understanding concepts. But i feel it is not mandatory to know about lucene before reading about solr. This book absolutely helps beginners even if you don't have knowledge about lucene. Great book to start with to learn about SOLR.
Grand Book
By Pule Nong
from Mochudi, Botswana
About Me Designer, Developer
Apache Solr is an open source full-text search server written in Java. This book is billed as being for anyone who has the will to learn.The author asserts that no prior programming experience is required. In my opinion, prior programming knowledge is a necessity to follow along.On page 68 of the book the author states that "both XML and json are widely used on Internet applications and mashups, so I suggest you become familiar with both of them." One can only be fully familiar with these afore-mentioned technologies only when one has some sort of programming knowledge. Knowledge of using the command prompt is also important.Other than that I think this is an awesome book that demonstrates the limitless possibilities one can venture into using Apache Solr. Even after completing this book I find myself going through it again so as to familiarize myself more with Apache Solr. There are a lot of topics covered in this book. These include among others:- How to install Apache Solr - Using faceted search- Working with Multiple Entities, Multicores, and Distributed Search- Collecting the paintings data from DBpedia- Indexing with Local PDF FilesThe positive to take away from this book is that it is written in a manner that is easy to understand. So there is no need to have a dictionary close by. It is written in a practical manner. You get to see how covered concepts are applied. If you are focused enough you will be just fine in following along.I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to incorporate a full-text search engine to their application. In terms of rating this book I give it a 4/5 rating.
The definitive guide to using Apache Sol
By Ian
from Eugene, Oregon
About Me Designer
Don't let the title "beginner's guide" mislead you. This 300-page book is an encyclopedia of recipes for running a Solr server. The introductory comment "Less theory, more results" certainly applies to this book. Serafini starts out with a quick introduction and history of Solr. Soon afterwards he has the reader up and running on a local installation of Solr. The downloadable code includes many examples and add-ons useful in following along with the text.The author takes the reader from the basic configuration with queries using the browser alongside cURL in Terminal. We are shown examples of searching a public art database as well as PDF text searching. We are introduced to building indexes, core types, and schema.xml files, followed by spatial and faceted searches and concepts in analyzing different strategies for constructing the right searches. Time is spent explaining how to maintain our indexes and shaping our user search experience for best results.As the book goes into more advanced topics, the author covers moving from a single core to a multi-core and finally to distributed searches. There is a chapter on writing Solr plugins to further extend the application. The final chapter covers integrating Solr search into one's web application and touches on using the most popular languages including PHP, Ruby, Python and others.Each chapter is broken down into short explanations and examples, followed by a "Time For Action" section and then a "What Just Happened" section. This makes it very easy to focus in on one example at a time, testing it out while reading. Each chapter concludes with a quiz to further make sure the reader is comfortable with the information presented.In conclusion I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in implementing search-using Solr. This is the definitive guide to keep on your desk and to dig deeper than what is available in the Solr docs.

A cabinet can fulfill many functions in a home office while providing you with a beautiful piece of furniture to enhance your working environment. Use a computer armoire or server table to display your functional office equipment. Are you in need of a filing cabinet but don't like the idea of a piece of square metal in your office? Think about purchasing a small cabinet to house papers, books, and other office items instead.
Supplement some of the elements in your bedroom with a beautiful floor cabinet. You can enhance the look of your bedroom while adding some practical storage space. A larger cabinet can house sweaters and dress shirts, while a smaller cabinet can maintain socks, jewelry, and other personal items. Like the computer, perhaps you would like to keep your television out of view when it is not in use. A television armoire can be the perfect solution.
Implementing a wall cabinet in the most used room in the house can help you surround yourself with favorite pictures, books, art pieces, and more all with an attractive piece of furniture. A floor cabinet can also house your library of DVDs and do it in style.
A floor cabinet can act as a house for toiletries, makeup, hair accessories, and more. Choosing an ornate wood cabinet is one way to achieve a fashionable status in your bathroom.
Do your children have their own collection of books, DVDs, or entertainment items? Do they have a massive amount of toys with nowhere to place them except on the floor? With the addition of a beautiful floor cabinet, many problems can be solved.
Do you have plates, crystal or cutlery you would like to display? Maybe you need something ornate to supplement your dining room table. With a wall cabinet, china cabinet, server or curio, you can display and store many types of utensils and decorations.

Tablets aren't the most powerful computing gadgets. But they are the most convenient.
They're bigger than the tiny screen of a smartphone, even the big ones sporting nearly 5-inch screens.
They have longer battery life and always-on capabilities better than any PC — and will continue to be better at that than any ultrathin/book/Air laptop. That makes them very handy for carrying around and using frequently, casually, and intermittently even where there isn't a flat surface or a chair on which to use a laptop.
And tablets are very good for information consumption, an activity that many of us do a lot of. Content creation apps are appearing on tablets. They'll get a lot better as developers get used to building for touch-first interfaces, taking advantage of voice input, and adding motion gestures.
They're even better for sharing and working in groups. There's no barrier of a vertical screen, no distracting keyboard clatter, and it just feels natural to pass over a tablet, like a piece of paper, compared to spinning around a laptop.

Nearly a year ago, a passenger going through airport screening on two separate occasions requested that her breast milk be visually inspected and not screened by the X-ray machine. She filed a complaint with TSA regarding her screening experience. TSA investigated the matter and sent a letter of apology to the passenger in March of this year. The passenger has flown since these events occurred and has provided TSA a written confirmation that she no longer experiences issues.
We extend our sincere apologies to any passenger who may have experienced discomfort and inconvenience during the screening process. We appreciate hearing from passengers and encourage you to share your experiences with us. Although the proper screening procedures were followed at the time, we acknowledge this particular passenger experienced an out of the ordinary delay, and have worked with our officers to ensure we proceed with expediency in screening situations similar to this.

The latest item to rise to top of my "Hot Topics" list is the concern of formaldehyde in the new TSA uniforms and the effect it is having on our officers. I have to admit, the first thing that came to mind was the "Til' Death Do We Part" CSI episode where a funeral home employee was selling "used" clothing to second hand stores and people were dying from extreme formaldehyde exposure. Our case isn't quite that severe, in fact, it's not even close. But, when it comes to our officer's safety, we take things very seriously and immediately looked into the issue back in September when we first became aware of some officers experiencing irritation from the new uniform. We also made 100% cotton uniforms available for any of our officers who needed them.
We went straight to the Vice President of Safety of VF Solutions, (The company that makes the uniforms) and he gave us some very helpful information:
VF Image Wear had an independent lab test 4 shirts - three shirts from officers that had significant skin irritations, and one from VF's inventory.
The testing tested for numerous irritants or allergens in or on the fabric, including formaldehyde. The testing showed that formaldehyde or any other irritant is NOT present in sufficient quantities to be the source of the skin irritation in a normal person, in fact the amount of formaldehyde in the tested shirts was "untraceable." The industry standard testing would need to show in excess of 75 parts per million of formaldehyde to potentially be an issue. In fact, the testing is only sensitive to 20 parts per million, and again, formaldehyde did not register because it was below this level.
(Please note that TSA is working now conducting our own government assessment to verify the independent lab's results using the same uniforms.)
Here are some additional factoids we learned from VF Solutions:
- The fabric used for TSA shirts has been purchased by VF Solutions from the same vendor without any changes for 10 years. In all colors, VF has purchased 105 million yards of fabric during that time, and produced 70 million shirts. In the royal blue used by TSA, VF has purchased 1.5 million yards and produced over 1 million shirts. VF Solutions has never had an issue raised or had any prior experience with skin irritations or rashes from this fabric.
- Fabric mills routinely use a resin compound which contains formaldehyde during the fabric weaving process. This compound adds the "permanent press" feature to fabrics containing cotton and rayon. This is a very common feature on the majority of cotton and rayon garments on the market today. Formaldehyde has been a component of this process since the 1960's. The government has regulations on the amount of formaldehyde that may be used.
- From internal interviews, VF has found no evidence of formaldehyde exposure from any of their own employees that cut the fabric, sew the garments or handle the garments in their distribution center.
- The fabric is manufactured solely in the U.S. at textile mills in North Carolina. The completed fabric is then sent to Mexico and Honduras to be sewn into uniforms and other clothing.
I also did some research to see how our uniform shirts compared to the formaldehyde levels of famous name brand manufacturers. I found the following in an article written by Dr. Sharyn Martin.
There is a variation in different country's standards for formaldehyde release from textile finishes. Japan has the highest standards at 75 ppm for formaldehyde-releasing resin, compared with 300 ppm in the U.S. Some U.S. manufacturers are now using newer low formaldehyde or 'no-formaldehyde' finishes.
We take complaints of discomfort seriously of course, but to put this in perspective only 20 of our 45,000 have complained so far. So, as you can see from the facts, there's no need to replace all of the uniforms as has been suggested elsewhere. It would be a shame to replace the uniform. Feedback from the workforce as well as passengers has been positive. There's a great pride in the workforce about the new uniform.
