How to Spot a Fake Rolex Watch?

                                    

Rolex is one of the most coveted luxury watches on the planet known for its quality, style, and prestige. Even if you are not a huge fan of watches, chances are that you have heard about Rolex watches. 

In this post, I'm going to try to tell you how to make sure that you are not buying a replica watch  

How to Tell if the Watch is Fake or Real?

• Know Your Seller

The first and the most important thing I would emphasize is that you must buy from a trusted seller only. 

If you have decided to buy this type of watch from unauthorized sellers, from one of the e-commerce websites, you need to be careful. Because these are just platforms that bring sellers and buyers together.  You might become a victim of entrusted sellers. Rolex watches are very expensive and there are some people who sell fake Rolex watch online. Therefore, I highly recommend you to not purchase from such website. 

Never by from online selling websites, as they are likely to have dishonest sellers. Always try to buy from  authorized resellers. Go to Rolex's website and try to find your nearest retailer. It is easy. Right?!  

• The Serial Number 

Serial Number or Model number of Rolex is one thing that you need to check prior to purchasing the watch. The original one will have its serial number and model number very perfectly and precisely engraved with fine lines. The fake one will have some dots and faints, because of the low quality of of marking. Notice that you will need  remove the band to find the serial number. 

• Second Hand Movement

This is one important criteria to spot the fake Rolex. The authentic Rolex will have very smooth second hand movement, whereas the fake one's pattern will "Click, Click, Click,...." . You can listen carefully to the watch. If you hear noise, a quiet "tick, tick, tick", then this watch is absolutely a real Rolex

• magnification Lens 

The genuine Rolex's magnifies the date to 2.5 times, to be easy to read. The fake one, on the other hand, won't magnify the date. It is just a normal glass. Yes, some will magnify, but not as the actual Rolex does. 

• Weight

Another thing to distinguish between a genuine Rolex and Fake Rolex is the weight. The Genuine one will weigh more than the replica one, due to the special materials used to manufacture the real one. Notice that this criteria might be difficult to use to spot the fake Rolex, but you still can use it. 

• Water Test

Another way to determine whether your Rolex is real or not before you buy is to see if it is waterproof. While the real one is made to be a waterproof, the forger one won't stand against the water test. There are more tests you can perform. Just google them That's all for today. Good luck with your Rolex purchase 

يوم اللغة العربية

يوم اللغة العربية 

بمناسبة اليوم العالمي للغة العربية (لغة القرأن الكريم) أود أن أكتب عن الخط العربي وبعض الخطاطين العرب على مر التاريخ, وذلك حسب ما وجدت في بعض المقالات التي تعتني بالموضوع. 

فالخط العربي كما يقال اينما ظهر بهر,, وايضا يقال ان الخط الحسن يزيد الحق وضوحا. وقد احببت ان اقوم بنقل بعض المعلومات من موقع ويكيبيديا 

أصل الخط العربي

ينحدر الخط العربي من الخط السرياني, كان العرب الشماليين متأثريين باللغة الآرامية ويتضح ذالك من نقوشهم النبطية.

تعددت آراء الباحثين حول الأصل الأول للخط العربي ومن أبحاث علماء اللغات السامية، تعد لغة المسند (في شبه الجزيرة العربية) متأثرة باللغة الآرامية في العراق والشام وفلسطين بين القرنين الثالث ق.م والسادس م.

يذهب الكاتب الأكاديمي حسان صبحي مراد إلى القول بأن خط المسند هو الأصل الأول للخط العربي، الذي سمي أيضا بخط الجزم -أي القطع- لاقتطاعه من خط المسند الحميري وعلى إثره استخدموا الخط النبطي (آرامي النشأة) نقلاً عن الأنباط الذين استوطنوا الأقاليم الآرامية فتحضروا بحضارتهم مستخدمين لغتهم وخطهم ليشتقوا منه خطهم المسمى بالخط النبطي الذي استخدمه ملوك العرب أولاً سنة 250 م ليتطور ويتشكل مبتعداً عن الخط الآرامي ومقتربا من كتابة (المسند).

نشأة الكتابة العربية

اختلفت آراء الناس كثيراً حول نشأة الكتابة العربية وعدّ العرب أن هذا أمر طبيعي وأن الكتابة هي وجه من وجوه الحضارة، وقد يطور أحدهم الكتابة فينال عمله رضا الناس فيأخذون به بسرعة ما ينتشر دون أن يفكر أحد بتأريخ حركته المطورة،

نشأة الخط العربي وانتشاره

إن اللغة العربية تتطور كنطق، فاللغة العربية كانت بالأصل لهجات تتميز عن بعضها البعض بين قبيلة وأخرى بحسب مواطن وسكن كل قبيلة وجيرانها، أو بحسب الدول والممالك التي قامت. وبمجيء الإسلام فيما بعد، توحدت هذه اللهجات بنزول القرآن على لهجة قريش، ويميل المؤرخون إلى أن الخطوط المتداولة في فجر الإسلام كانت خطوط ((الحيري – الأنباري الملكي – المدني – الكوفي – والبصري)) ومن المؤسف أن أشكال هذه الخطوط لا يعرف عنها شيئاً كثيرا لقلة النماذج.

الكتابة في زمن الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم

في زمن الرسول محمد (ص) جاء دين الإسلام ليرفع العرب والعالم أجمع دينياً وأخلاقياً، وكان الإسلام مرتبطاً باللغة العربية والخط العربي العريق. وقد ظهر الخط العربي بنسخ القرآن الكريم فانتشر بين العرب في العالم الإسلامي، وكان الناس يتداولون الرسائل على رقاع الجلد فانتشر بسرعة أيضاً، وبخاصة في الرسائل التي كان النبي محمد يرسلها إلى ملوك الروم والفرس، وعند إقامة النبي محمد في المدينة قام ببناء مسجد للتعلم فيه وكلف عددا من الصحابة للتعليم فيه وهكذا تابع الخط العربي التطور مع الوقت حتى يومنا هذا.

How to Avoid Weight Gaining During the Holidays

How to Avoid Weight Gaining During the Holidays

Gaining weight has become an obsession for many people. Food is essential for our body. But during holidays, we have more free time, more picnics and more food. Once we eat food, it is converted to energy to help us work and concentrate. If we can't control our food and type of food then controlling our weight gaining will be a challenge. Good news is that we can control our weight gain during holidays. Here are some tips how to do that, according to health professionals.

•  Avoid Arriving Hungry 

Don't go to any picnic or invitation while you are starving. You can have some food before going there. Always remember picnics and invitations are not for food only. If you arrive starving, drink some water before start eating

•  Divert Your Attention 

  During meeting You can do so many things other than just eating. You can have sport,  you can enjoy friends' company. Try to take your mind  off of food and think of somethings else. 

• Pace Yourself 

Try not to eat the first hour of meeting. Eating during the first hour of the picnic will increase the chance of eating a lot. So, try to make yourself busy with something else during the first hour(s) of the picnic. 

• Don't Eat Fast

Research shows that chewing your food 40 times results in eating 12 percent less than chewing food 15 times. This will also give the stomach more time to send a signal to the brain that it is full. 

• Use Smaller Dishes and Spoons

“Big dishes and big spoons are big trouble,” Brain Wansink said. The problem is that when people eat in big dishes, they are likely to eat more than they need. So, it's better to switch  into smaller dishes
