How does a mechanical chess clock work?
I have a Garde Mechanical Chess clock w/ no instructions. I can turn the knobs on the back for operation but how does it work in a chess match? What do the red levers (under the glass) mean in the front?
Thanks
If you are going to play a game where each player has 5 minutes then set the minute hand on each clock to the "11" (five minutes until the top of the hour), but you must rotate the minute hands around clockwise in order for them to drag across the "levers" properly when the time is up. The "levers" are pushed upward as the minute hand approaches the "12" and they drop back downward when your time is up. It's just a visual aid eliminating guesswork as to when your time is precisely up. It doesn't matter where the hour hand is for speed games. But if you want to limit your game to 1 hour for each player, then each clock should be set to 11 O'clock so that the game will end in the "midnight" position. To keep the clocks from ticking off prematurely, just push the button over one clock halfway until neither clock ticks.
Good luck! I hope this helps.

Sleep is interwoven with every facet of daily life. It affects our health and well-being, our moods and behavior, our energy and emotions, our marriages and jobs, our very sanity and happiness. Insomnia is classified into three categories: transient, intermittent and chronic, but whatever type and severity yours is, know for certain that there is a permanent and natural cure for insomnia. Indian Spikenard (Nardostachys jatamansi) Known popularly as the jatamansi in India, this is another herb prescribed to cure insomnia and mood swings. Sleeping problems can be devastating. Insomnia is a sleeping disorder whereby the person has the inability to fall asleep or the inability to remain asleep for a normal amount of time. Insomnia means a poor quality sleep because of one or more of the following: difficulty falling asleep, waking up frequently during the night with difficulty returning to sleep, waking up too early in the morning or unrefreshing sleep.
There are two remedies in which you can use herbal oil, in baths and with your pillow. Unfortunately, both ways are no more different than the herbal insomnia tea. It'll help relax you and even make you slightly more tired, but it's of little to no help for actual insomniacs. A deep massage can heighten your relaxation to incredible levels, allowing you not only to sleep more soundly at night but to actually get to sleep much more quickly. A full body massage is best, but even a brief shoulder rub is better than nothing. Stop watching TV in bed if you have been doing that. Such practice, especially when it happens just before you sleep, can keep your mind overly active and thus, makes it harder for you to go to sleep.
Cultivate the habit of waking up the same time everyday, regardless if it's weekday or weekend. If need be, use an alarm clock. After doing it for some time, your body clock with enough tuning, will take over so waking up won't be as 'painful' as before. Acupuncture's been used for thousands of years, so it works. In western medicine, it's relatively new, but because it's a drug-free therapy, it's being used more and more. Acupuncture is a normalizing therapy; it aims to restore all your systems, both body and mind, to a state of balance. Exercising can also help to prepare your body for sleep. However, you should not exercise right before you are ready to go to bed. Your adrenaline will be pumping much too much. A sleeptrack system is the best natural cure for insomnia there is; no ifs, ands, or buts about it. If you're truly serious about getting great sleep, then there really is NO OTHER solution. Sleeping pills and other insomnia remedies such as ointments and medicines may help in getting the person off to sleep but will not stop the insomnia returning the following night. To find the true cure for insomnia the person must look to the root of the problem and eliminate the cause of their sleeping problems.
