The 100 year rule is the accepted criteria for an antique, however many people don't follow this practice. A better term for this item would be "vintage".

If you think back to when you were a child you can probably remember sitting in the front room eagerly waiting for your dad to get home. You can probably envision the excitement that you felt when his car turned into the driveway or even when you heard the garage door open and he pulled inside. You couldn't wait for him to walk into the door so you could give him a huge hug and tell him everything that had happened to you during the day.

For most kids their dads are their rocks. No matter what is going on with you, whether it is good or bad, you knew you could always tell your dad what was happening. The best part of being able to tell your dad what was going on is that it seemed like he could magically fix everything for you. As a little kid falling and scraping your knee required a kiss from Mom to make it better, but when your bike had a flat tire it was only Dad who could make it right.

No matter where you live, whether it is in a remote village in Alaska or on the island of New Zealand, how you view your dad is going to be similar to how other children view their dads. The relationship that a child has with their father has even withstood the sands of time. Dads all across the world play with their kids when they are young and teach them to drive when they get older.

It is because of this relationship that a child has with their father that all across the globe we celebrate Father's Day. The date that Father's Day is celebrated on in various regions around the world varies, as does the language you use to wish your dad a Happy Father's Day. However, despite these differences the main point is to show how dads how much they mean to us.

Here is how you would say "Happy Father's Day" in a variety of different languages:

Portuguese - Feliz dia do pai
Spanish - Feliz dia del padre
Italian - Giorno di Padre Felice
Polish - Wszystkiego Najlepszego Z Okazji Dnia Ojca
Dutch - Gelukkige Vaderdag
German - Alles Gute zum Vatertag
French - Bonne fete des peres

One thing that is interesting to note is that most countries follow the American custom of celebrating Father's Day on the third Sunday in June, but there are a handful of other countries that follow their own customs. Austria, Costa Rica, and Belgium celebrate Father's Day on the second Sunday in June. New Zealand and Australia celebrate it on the first Sunday of September. Russia doesn't celebrate the event on a Sunday instead the celebrate it on February 23 every year. China also has a specific date for Father's Day, which is August 8. Iran and Germany have no specific date for celebrating Father's Day instead they celebrate it based on certain events. Iran follows the Islamic calendar, so they celebrate it on 13 Rajab, while Germany uses Ascension Day, which comes from the Bible, to decide what date they are celebrating the event.

No matter what day you celebrate the event or what language you use to tell your father Happy Father's Day celebrating Father's Day is all the same. The day is set aside to show our father's how much we love and respect them for everything that they have done for us.

Aquatic Conditioning Programme For The Shoulders

There are many sports that put strain on the shoulder muscle. This is particularly true for 'overhead athletes' who participate in sports such as tennis, javelin, cricket and baseball. Men and women who participate in these sports regularly need to keep the shoulder muscles in mint condition to avoid strain and injury. Even day-to-day activities such as DIY and gardening can produce chronic shoulder pain if the shoulders are not taken care of.

Baseball pitchers put their shoulders through some serious moves every time they throw the ball, so it makes sense that they've come up with a programme that keeps their joints and muscles in the shoulder region mobile and powerful - a pitcher with a sore or weak shoulder is of no use to anyone!

This programme, a swimming-based workout especially for pitchers, can be followed by anyone who takes part in exercise, sport or other activities that target the shoulder region.

Swimming is one of the best methods to build up shoulder strength, stability and endurance. The water environment has the added benefit of creating very little stress on the body. However, the resistance available means you can still enjoy a challenging and effective workout. No changes in weights or bands are required - simply increase the force you apply on the water.

Increasing the speed, keeping submerged, opening your fingers and increasing the number of repetitions will all add extra dimensions of challenge to the workout. This means you can progress and let the programme grow with you as your fitness level increases.

The Programme

Take 8 minutes and divide them as follows:

2 minutes free-style
2 minutes high-knee runs
2 minutes breast stroke
2 minutes flutter kicks on the wall

Keep adding on the minutes as your stamina increases.

As simple as that? You bet!

You can also incorporate your regular gym-based shoulder exercises into the workout by doing them in the pool, without weights, just using the water pressure available. Go through each exercise for about 15 to 20 seconds, and perform them at controlled speeds.

Exercising in a heated pool is advised in colder months.
So whether you're aiming for the Big League or just enjoy some strenuous gardening on the weekend, you can only benefit from this great shoulder-conditioning programme!

Flight Simulations for Pilots in the United Kingdom and Europe

Pilots young and old throughout the European continent need to stay sharp in their piloting skills. The flight deck can become a difficult place to work for those pilots who don’t practice, stay focused, and understand every aspect of their job. While the public may think that hours upon hours of flight experience are enough to make a great pilot, they don’t understand that taking a look at the airline industry from a different perspective is important from time to time. As well, pilots need to work on their skills outside of the flight deck in order to stay current with their licensing and certifications and prove their continued ability to safely fly airliners.

One way in which pilots can get more experience and a different perspective on their jobs is through flight simulation programs, available at flight schools and training facilities. These flight simulators range from simple computer programs to large simulators where pilots sit at a functioning control board. The reason why pilots often choose this route in their efforts to stay sharp is that it is less strenuous than actual flight and is a quick way to get some practice in between work days. As well, flight centres and training facilities are becoming more plentiful in the United Kingdom and Europe, which allows travelling pilots to test out new control configurations and flight simulators.

Another way for pilots to get some extra flight hours into their busy work schedule is to pick up some hours flying charter planes. Often, this option is best used by airline pilots that have just left an airline position, as the flight schedule can be rigorous. Charter flights allow pilots to work on smaller airplanes with fewer functions, which require pilots to be more intuitive and thoughtful in their jobs. As well, charter flights are a welcome reprieve from the pressures and rigors of the airline industry. Charter planes often carry less than twenty people, allowing a pilot the chance to speak with passengers and break away from their routine.

In any event, airline pilots need to fly extra hours for a number of reasons. Pilots need to see their positions from a different perspective, even if this requires sacrificing a bit of personal time with flight simulators. As well, pilots can always use experience in a variety of different settings to keep them on their toes. Finally, pilots need to understand the importance of their jobs to the hundreds of thousands of passengers they help travel throughout the year.
