The Different Types of Jewelry Loops and Clasps

One alternative to the regular clasp styles is the folded metal wire 'hook style' clasp. The wire is bent into a loop so the open end is slightly against the other side, making for a neat friction fit where the pendant loop is slid into. An example of this style is on the following website. Scroll down and on the right side you will see 'NBd109 Aquamarine nugget' in a description. Look at the clasp. This is a simple folded wire hook arrangement.
Using this style of clasp, a pendant may be permanently attached to one end of the same style (with the hook soldered shut) and then the other side may be slid onto the pendant loop to fasten the chain together.
Using Spring Ring and Lobster Claw gold jewelry clasps: These are the typical clasps used in necklaces. The lobster claw style is superior in strength.

Chapter 7

Thinks I learned:
Selection- retrieves a subset of rows
Porjection - retrieves a subset of columns
Joining - combines data from two tables
-A where clause always includes on tru/false condition
- When you running an SQL query you can use different functions to calculate a give number of rows. These are described as aggregate functions.



Question.
-What are the three retrieval opersation for the relational databases?
-Explain the between operator and its uses
-How do you use joining, can you give an example?
Everyone is happily celebrating the festivities this month but I did not... sigh... this is most boring Chinese New Year ever. There are more cars on the road then usual, shopping complex are as crowed as usual, the chinese new year songs is as irritating as ever.... damn... there is nothing much to do rather then wake up, eat, gamble, sleep routine for atleast a week. What is there to be done. Oh yea, other than have a 4 hours lunch time with my relatives in the city. Well that is the most happennig time ever. Great food and drinks... I think that is that most I drank in front of my mum..hahhahhaha

Been recieving alot of crappy Chinese New Year sms from eve till the second day of the celebration. Some of them are meaning full and some of them are damn crappy.... e.g. "Dog Dog Chiang, Dog Dog Chiang, Dog Chiang, Dog Chiang, Dog Dog Chiang". This is the lamest I have seen. Others all damn common.

Went for a PD trip with friends during the 5th and 6th day of CNY and stayed in the most lousiest apartment that I had ever been after Genting's First World Hotel. The rooms are like canon room (whore house), flies everywhere and the best of all IT STINKS!!!! OMG..... Late at night we have barbeque beside the beach and everyone was crowding over one BBQ place. Havoc!!!All my friends was like beggers from the underworld and was fighting for the last piece of chicken wing.

What else is there to do in this festival other then shopping. Sounds girlie hah....Well been shopping here and there with friends and did enjoyed it. Last sunday before works starts I went straight 4 hours non-stop shopping with a friend. I spend like 300 buck for just a jeans and a shirt while she the same amount of money or lesser she spend and get 5 items. Itsn't the world just ain't fair. I wonder why girl stuff have cheaper options where guy stuff is always more expensive. Lets not compare pirated stuff with designer label. Sigh

Well Chinese New Year is finishing and time for Valentines. Here is wish all Happy Valentines. Safe Sex Safe Lives including the innocent ones.

I'm so sick and tired of idiots who use and abuse animals for their own sick pleasure. This idiot is keeping two lion cubs in his backyard in Tzaneen.

These poor babies were taken from their mother (herself a prisoner), before they were properly weened and then transported halfway across the country and kept in his yard. I can just picture him boasting to neighbours how he "the BIG MAN" is keeping two "wild lions" in his garden. UGH!

According to conservation officials, the lions came from the "Free" State Province which is renowned for canned lion hunting. This is a process whereby lions are hand-reared in small enclosures on remote "Free" State farms and then shot by rich first world MEN, once they are big enough. After being photographed with their executioners, the lions' heads are chopped off, stuffed and hung on the walls of bars, where rich white men get drunk and joke about genocide.

The time has come to stop the murder, rape and pillaging of women, children, animals and nature. I have had enough and I am ready to do whatever is takes to stop such men!
