Charles Darwin published his notions on natural selection and the theory of evolution in his book On the Origin of Species in 1859. "Survival of the Fittest" is an off-shoot-idea of that theory supported by other biologists stating that all species of all organisms originate and develop through a process of natural selection of genetic and inherited variations that help an individual organism to compete with its own environmental adversities and competitors of its own race and tribe to survive and reproduce to transfer their genes to the next generation. Animals and plants or even human beings who are poorly adapted to their environment will have less chance of survival and reproduction. In this complex process only the physically fit plants, animals and humans would survive and this phenomenon is called Darwinism. Yet in an attempt to convey his scientific ideas to the British public, naturalists borrowed popular concepts, including "survival of the fittest," from sociologist Herbert Spencer and "struggle for existence" from economist Thomas Malthus, who had earlier written about how human societies evolve over a period of time. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was a scientific theory focused on explaining his observations about biological diversity and why different species of plants and animals look different.
Initially survival of the fittest referred only to the physical fitness of any organism to survive against all odds. Later this process of natural selection was used to justify certain social, political or economic dynamics taking place in the human society. Thus we have terms like social Darwinism, political Darwinism and economic Darwinism. These three areas can be further subdivided depending on the aspect of human life emphasized at a given point of time. However in the ultimate analysis these three types of Darwinisms interplay a lot though for our analysis they may be treated separately for the sake of better clarity.
Social Darwinists hold the view that the "survival of the fittest" is a natural law that certain people become more powerful in society because they are in a better position in life. Thus a man with a better family and social background will have a better chance to survive and thrive. Such social leaders are seen in every culture and civilization from time immemorial. Eventually through the process of evolution these socially well-to-do people will go through a process of changes physically, intellectually and genetically. Social Darwinism has been used to justify tribalism, racism, imperialism, eugenics and other social inequalities prevalent at various times in the human history. Casteism in India is a glaring example of Social Darwinism. However Casteism cannot be seen independent of other factors like the level of education, gainful employment and economic self-sufficiency. Casteism in India is basically occupational distinction which again is linked with the economic remuneration attached to every type of occupation. Even in the low paid occupations and poor living conditions the law of the "Survival of Fittest" is quite operative. In many other developed countries the so-called sweepers and cleaners of waste are the maximum paid employees. For example in Australia one of the most highly paid people are those who pick up the wastes from the colonies and streets. But in India the same type of work is assigned to a particular low caste people. Even among the low caste people, the law of the survival of the fittest is very much operative. Social Darwinism has been used to justify imperialism, racism, eugenics and several other social evils over centuries.
Political Darwinism is an expression of the survival of the fittest from the political point of view. Leaders emerge naturally in the political arena to capture the political power and to rule over others. The kings and emperors of the ancient times and the present day political leaders at various levels are examples of political Darwinism. Further it is also seen that political life becomes a family occupation inherited along the family line. Again it is our common experience that when an ordinary average educated and economically poor person becomes a politician he begins to acquire material wealth and economic power along with higher social status. A vast majority of the politicians in India have captured political power first and then became powerful socially and economically. India is a hot bed of political parties and politicians. As of this April 10, there were 7 national p arties, 36 state-recognized parties, 329 regional p arties and 2044 unrecognized parties in India. Leaders of each party behave like kings and in the independent India we have a few thousand kings instead of the 565 princes before independence. They command fear more than respect: each one is a "chota-raja" in their area. Leaders of the political parties in their overall behaviour are more like gangsters than gentleman politicians. For the youth, political science with thuggish mentality is the most preferred subject now in the university studies.
In the modern era economic Darwinism has occupied the prime position. Money can buy anything is the type of confidence everyone seems to have and money power operates in every social and political sphere of human life: from individual to national level and from the local to the international level. The millionaires and billionaires are the kings and emperors of the modern political economies in which the elected politicians have become mere pawns who come and go; but the reign of economic kings and emperors will remain; they control the politicians at the national and international level.
Underlying the Indian political Darwinism is the dominant combination of "muscle and money power" which was the characteristic feature of the ancient system of tribal warlord systems which are still prevalent in some of the tribal dominated African and Arab regions. What makes them different from their ancestors is their modern weapons and better communication cum transport systems.
The economic Darwinism is further evolving into a laissez-faire capitalism. Laissez-faire is an economic system in which transactions between private parties are free from any form of government intervention such as regulation, privileges, imperialism, tariffs and subsidies etc. Proponents of laissez faire argue for a complete separation of government from the economic sector. It was Spencer who applied the idea of "survival of the fittest" to the so-called laissez faire or unrestrained capitalism during the Industrial Revolution, in which businesses are allowed to operate with little regulation from the government.
Eugenics is another off-shoot idea of socio-economic-political Darwinism. It is a theory of improving the human race by getting rid of the "undesirables" like the poor, low castes, religions other than the dominant or state promoted, persons with economic liability such as old age, incurables diseases, females at foetus stage and other economically liable categories. Thus eugenics is a combination of socio-economic and political cleansing. The brahminical Hindutva movement is a bold form of Indian eugenics emphasizing the ideology that India is only for high caste Hindus.
We need to refresh our memories on eugenic history in the world. As a social movement it became a key popular socio-political movement in USA in during a period between 1920 and 1940. We would be surprised to know that books and films promoted eugenics, while local fairs and exhibitions promoting "fitter family" and "better baby" competitions around the country. The eugenics in USA prevented "unfit" individuals from having children. In 32 States out of 50 laws were passed allowing forced sterilization on more than 64,000 Americans including immigrants, people of colour, unmarried mothers and the mentally ill.
Adolf Hitler, worst among the eugenicists, believed in the purity and supremacy of the German "Aryan" race and exterminated Jews, gypsies, Poles, Soviets, homosexual and physically or mentally disabled. Turkish massacre of Armenians, mass killings in the former Yugoslavia and in Rwanda were other major examples eugenics.
India under the present regime with its Hindutva movement is very much in the line of eugenics. The age old caste system with supremacy of Brahmanism, denying reservation to poor among the Christians and Muslims, ban on cow slaughter, ban on beef sale and consumption, sporadically raised slogans demanding Muslims and Christians leave the country, dotting the country with Hindu temples and government sponsored financed mammoth Kumbh melas and other Hindu festivals, neglect of tribal and low caste people, decades long apathy to small and marginal farmers are all expressions of Indian/Hindu eugenics.

Using r10k
r10k is an automation tool for Puppet environments. It is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/puppetlabs/r10k. The project is used to speed up deployments when there are many environments and many Git repositories in use. From what we've covered so far, we can think of it as
librarian-puppet and Git hooks in a single package. r10k takes the Git repositories specified in
/etc/puppetlabs/r10k/r10k.yaml and checks out each branch of the repositories into a subdirectory of the
environment directory (the
environment directory is also specified in
/etc/puppetlabs/r10k/r10k.yaml). If there is a
Puppetfile in the root of the branch, then r10k parses the file in the same way that
librarian-puppet does and it installs the specified modules ...

AnUltimate Scream revealshould be taking place at 6pm BST this evening, as that's normally when EA Sports announce these sorts of events.
Plus Madden have just announced their own Halloween 'Most Feared' event in the last hour. So it seems fairly certain the new Ultimate Scream event will be getting underway in the next couple of hours.
Whilst it would be great to offer up some predictions for which platers could be featured in the next spooky squad, it's not possible.
EA Sports pick players at random and embue them with some monstrous stats and, meaning even the most abject player could bang in a right screamer from 30 years.

TOULOUSE will provide an 'immense test' for the York City Knights, coach James Ford has insisted.
York kick off their Betfred Championship play-off campaign at Stade Ernest Argles tomorrow in the qualification final.
The Knights haven't beaten Toulouse in any of their last five encounters with the French club and Ford is well aware of the task that awaits his squad.
"They're a great side and, it'll sound obvious to say, but they're the second best team in the Championship," said Ford.
"They've got lots of pace and they're a very confident side with the ball.
"They can move it around from any part of the field and usually score from any part of the field too.
"A lot of their tries come from reactive plays which are off-the-cuff. I think they've improved defensively too from their days in League One.
"Sylvain (Houles, coach) has gone a great job there."
In order to combat the unorthodox attacking style of Toulouse, there's likely to be pressure on the Knights' half-backs, with Ford stressing the importance of their kicking game.
"I think it's especially important where you turn the ball over against them," Ford said.
"You have to be able to kick in a way that controls the opposition. We've got to control our sets and the start of their sets and make them start where we want them to start.
"That's of real importance. Defensively as well, the concentration is going to have to be really high.
"Locking the ball up and when those offloads do come, showing a positive reaction from that.
"We're going to be tested immensely and we're well aware of that."
"We're flying in the early hours of Friday morning. We're not going to moan about the logistics.
"Everyone in the competition was well aware that we were going to have to fly to Toulouse and Toronto this year and I think most anticipated that they would be in the play-offs too.
"It would be ridiculous to moan at this stage, so that's certainly not something that we're going to do."

At Monday's county council meeting Cllr. Adrienne Wallace criticised the Chief Executive for not including the statistics on domestic violence in the county. At each council meeting the Chief Executive prepares a report that updates the elected reps on local issues from roads to homelessness. Cllr. Wallace was critical of the lack of information on those from Carlow who use Amber women's refuge.
Cllr. Wallace said "Until Carlow gets its own refuge women and children fleeing violence in the home have to travel to Kilkenny's women's refuge yet the Chief Executive has never included these statistics in her report. It is incredibly insensitive and glosses over the harsh reality of so many women. We should be fighting the stigma surrounding domestic violence, having honest conversations about how prevalent it is in Ireland and encouraging those suffering in silence to speak up. 1 in 5 women in Ireland have been abused by a current or former partner and every month Carlow court is clogged with safety orders. The council should be helping lead the charge here instead of resting on their laurels."
At last month's council meeting Cllr Wallace put forward a motion calling for a representative from Tusla to come before the council to discuss the delay around securing a women's refuge in Carlow. Tulsa decided to issue a briefing document to the council instead but cllr Wallace was critical that this was not forwarded to the councillors.
Cllr Wallace said "I had to directly email Tulsa to get this document which meant I had little time to read it before Monday's meeting. This is despite the fact the council received it the Friday before. The document should have been forwarded to councillors when it was released. If I hadn't directly emailed the CEO of Tulsa I might never have received it. The council needs to be a lot more proactive about the fight for a women's refuge."
The Carlow Women's Refuge Campaign Group has organised a rally on Saturday December 14th at 2pm at the fountain on Potato Market. Fr. Peter McVerry will be speaking alongside a number of local speakers and live music.

Air Namibia has confirmed it will introduce its first Airbus A330-200 into commercial scheduled operation on its Windhoek – Frankfurt route from the start of October 2013. The southern African carrier is due to receive its first of two aircraft in September 2013 and will use it to replace an A340-300 on the daily flight to boost efficiency. The second aircraft is due to arrive in November 2013 with both being sourced from Intrepid Aviation.
"The Airbus A330-200 aircraft is ideal for Air Namibia's operation and continues to be an economically efficient aircraft for airlines around the world. The two aircraft will be used primarily on Air Namibia's long haul route, between Windhoek and Frankfurt," said Michael Ngapurue, acting managing director. He added that alongside lower operating costs the type will enable the airline to introduce improved seating and an enhanced in-flight product.
The two A330-200s will be configured in a two-class arrangement with 30 Business Class and 214 Economy seats and will represent a reduction in daily capacity on the Frankfurt route by 12.2 per cent with 14 fewer Business Class seats and 20 fewer Economy seats per flight. According to local sources this will enable the carrier to better meet demand.
The A330-200 will initially debut on the Frankfurt route on alternating days from October 3, 2013 until November 30, 2013. The type will fully replace the A340-300 on all services from December 1, 2013 although the schedule for the winter season will reduce from a daily to six times weekly operation.

Small operators are beginning to see some of the bigger trucking operators are talking to smaller companies about hauling their product. Jono DePaoli is based in Leeton, and his operation, JDP Logistics, has carved out a niche for itself hauling local produce out of the area to the capital cities, mainly Melbourne and Sydney, plus occasionally Brisbane.
Outside a couple of quite large operations in the area, many of the potential customers for a business like JDP Logistics are relatively small. However, Jono has noticed that some of the bigger trucking operators are now trying to move into the area and are talking to these smaller companies about hauling their product.
Small businesses like JDP Logistics have to be aware of this increased competition and the possibility that rate may be moving down as these larger companies move into the area.
"It's the old industry story," says Jono. "We need something to stop this problem. I don't know how, I don't have the answer, but if they had someone looking after transport companies who could say that you can't run under a particular amount, but you can run anything above it. It would put this in a fair playing field.
"Then it would all be on the service that you provide. It would give a lot of us smaller companies the chance. As a small trucking company, there is no way that we could compete against some of the prices that they are putting on some of the jobs. It is absolutely ridiculous."
When it comes to competing for freight contracts, one of the issues which often rears its head is that of safety systems. On this subject the larger national companies will point to sophisticated and integrated technical solutions to problems like fatigue. Jono sees the issue as a conflict between a technological solution and good old common sense.
"There are vibrating seats and the cameras watching the drivers," says Jono. "There is no such thing as getting there at a certain time, if you are that tired. We pull up and we just change the time slot. There is no reason to push yourself, it might not be that they are being pushed, they could be crook, it could be 100 different things. Sitting down on a seat that vibrates is not going to fix it.
"I would rather my boys just pull up and have a couple of hours and I will deal with it later. I don't think that my boys have ever run late for a time slot, I always give them enough time. I will not take on work if they are not allowing the right amount of time. It's just not worth doing it.
"Years ago, I saw companies pushing drivers and it gets them nowhere. I used to see the drivers coming in, who were doing a Brisbane run and they were doing between 5000 and 7000km per week. I saw one bloke, a subbie, hopping out of an Aerodyne, he forgot he was in an Aerodyne fell flat onto the concrete. He insisted that he was okay, but I told him he was not and to get some rest.
"At the end of the day, it all comes down to common sense. We're only human, trucks are only nuts and bolts. An old bloke, years ago, told me if you are going to have a bloke who is going to do this job and do the right thing by you and look after his truck, he's got to walk out and get excited about driving that truck. That's why we try and do up our trucks the way they are. I have picked up two customers because of the way my trucks look."

David M Robinson (DMR) has come a long way since it was founded 50 years ago, but it remains a family business and that is the heart of everything we do, even in the middle of a vibrant, fast-paced business hub like Canary Wharf. We, of course, have all the expert knowledge you would expect – in the showroom alone, for example, between us we have more than 100 years of experience of selling Rolex. As well as knowing all about the products, a friendly personal approach is very important – we need to make everyone feel comfortable the minute they walk through the door. Our teams of experts are on hand to welcome you into the showroom.
When the young goldsmith David Robinson founded his first shop in 1969, it was a modest little workshop in Liverpool. After a career that saw him winning two De Beers Diamonds International Awards and making jewellery that was presented by the Queen at Ascot, David still runs the business along with his son John, our managing director. DMR employs more goldsmiths than any other retailer in the north of England and has showrooms in Liverpool, Manchester and Altrincham, as well as the London showroom that I manage. The business may have grown beyond recognition, but some things never change – our interaction with customers has always been key, and that is personal, no matter how big the business is.
At DMR, we feel a great affinity with Rolex. The passion and attention to detail that goes into every watch they make really is second to none. Rolex is obviously a big company, but because of the way it is run, you get this great sense of ownership that runs through everyone who works there. Everyone I have ever met at Rolex, from all different areas of the business, is just so focussed and proud to be members of the Rolex family. When we put a new Rolex on the wrist of a client, we share that sense of pride.
We train all of our staff thoroughly, but they do not start selling Rolex until they have been through Rolex's own training programme at its UK service centre in Kings Hill, Kent. And training is not just a one-off, there are different levels and regular refresher courses – I have personally been selling Rolex for more than 30 years, but I still go on training courses to make sure I'm up to date with everything new.
While it is very important to know as much as possible about the products, it doesn't work if we start downloading information before we know why a customer has come to see us. We are offering luxury goods, but a sale involves an interaction between two people. To find out what the customers want we have to get to know a little bit about them, we need to understand their lifestyle so that we can recommend the right products to them so they leave happy. Sometimes they come in with a specific watch in mind, or sometimes they will have spotted something in the window and come in to enquire. We offer everyone the same friendly welcome and it is up to them where it leads.
I have been running DMR in Canary Wharf since 2006, the year it opened, and this part of London has its own particular energy. Because we are in this is frenetic global business hub, the clients are often fast-moving and don't have a lot of time on their hands. That means it is important to build a rapport quickly, and to help customers in the friendliest way without wasting their time.
I was born into the watch business – my father and uncle were both watchmakers and I started helping out in the workshop as a boy, was formally trained and became a watchmaker before going into retail management. I have customers who I have known for years who will only buy watches from me – they start off as clients and soon become friends.
As well as getting on well with our customers, it is very important that staff all work very well together. Although we are a serious, very well run business, the atmosphere is far more like a family. We don't have a stiff, corporate structure, and we take any excuse we can to share birthday cake or go for a drink after work. Being sociable leads to everyone being happier at work, and this translates into how we get on with our customers.
Giving good service is easy if you genuinely care about the watches you are selling and the people who are coming in to buy them. These are not things that you buy one day and forget the next – you are not only choosing a watch, you are choosing your future family heirlooms.'
Sandy Madhvani is manager of David M Robinson at 4 Jubilee Place, Canary Wharf E14 5NY; davidmrobinson.co.uk
'This is a professional timepiece that was built to deliver the greatest legibility and accuracy under the toughest conditions. But it is also a classic piece of design that people have really taken to their hearts. That's why so many people want to get their hands on one.'
The Submariner came out in 1953 and was the first diving watch to be waterproof to 100 metres, setting a new benchmark for diving watches. The bezel of the new Submariner has a 60-minute insert made from Cerachrom. This material is virtually scratchproof and comes in black, blue or green – colours that are unaffected by ultraviolet rays so will not fade. The bezel has knurled edges meaning it can be manipulated even when wearing diving gloves. The triangular zero marker – telling a diver when it is time to return to the surface – is filled with a luminescent material that gives out a blue glow. The same material fills the hour markers and hands to give great legibility under all conditions. The Submariner's Oyster bracelet is fitted with Rolex's patented Oysterlock safety clasp that prevents accidental opening and also the Rolex Glidelock extension system that allows it to be worn over a diving suit. The Submariner is fitted with Rolex Manufacture Calibre 3130 self-winding movement, as well as Rolex's anti-magnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and stop-seconds for exact time setting. It has a 40mm Oystersteel case, and is waterproof to 300 metres.
Submariner from £5,750
'The Oyster Perpetual is a classic piece of design and a great first Rolex watch. It would make the perfect graduation present, something she can treasure as she begins the next phase of her life.'
The smallest and most accessible Rolex, the 26mm Oyster Perpetual is a timeless design and a perfect combination of elegance and simplicity and, like all Rolexes, is certified as Superlative Chronometer, meaning that it is accurate to within −2/+2 seconds per day. It is a beautiful watch and the history behind it is fascinating. This watch is a direct descendant of the first dustproof and waterproof watch created by Rolex back in 1926 and labelled "Oyster" for its ability to keep out the elements. The name 'Perpetual' goes back almost as far – in 1931 Rolex created the first self-winding mechanism, based on a principal of a spinning metal weight that winds the mainspring. That invention spread throughout the watch industry and the principle is still used to power all automatic watches to this day. The automatic-winding movement makes for great ease of ownership and the five-year international warranty gives great peace of mind. The Oyster Perpetual comes in a variety of dial colours from black or white to red grape or olive green. The case is made from Oystersteel – a durable form of 904L steel specially developed by Rolex. The Oyster Perpetual is waterproof to 100 metres and the fluted caseback is hermetically screwed down with a special tool exclusive to Rolex watchmakers.
Oyster Perpetual from £3,700.
'While the Lady-Datejust is sized at 28mm, the main Rolex Datejust range starts with a 31mm diameter case, going up to 41mm.'
The Datejust goes back to 1945 when it was the first waterproof, self-winding chronometer wristwatch to have a date at 3 o'clock. The Datejust was a showcase for all the watchmaking breakthroughs that Rolex had made up until then, so it had the hermetically sealed Oyster case and the Perpetual movement and added the groundbreaking date function. The original watch didn't have the magnifying Cyclops lens, which was added in 1953 and became a classic Rolex function still associated with the brand today.
The Jubilee bracelet, with its classic five-piece links, was developed for the Datejust the year it was launched. The Datejust 31 is also available with either an Oyster or President bracelet and is fitted with the Calibre 2236 self-winding mechanical movement, entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex with a Syloxi hairspring in silicon. The hairspring is insensitive to magnetic fields, is very stable under variations in temperature and is up to 10 times more resistant to shocks than a traditional hairspring. This is complemented by the use of high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, which increase the movement's shock resistance by at least 50 per cent. Also featuring a paramagnetic nickel-phosphorus escape wheel, the movement has a power reserve of around 55 hours and is waterproof to 100 metres.
Datejust 31 from £4,800
'This watch is an absolute classic. Even though it is called the Day-Date, it's known as The President's watch. That name says it all, and to me it really is the ultimate watch. This is definitely the Rolex that I am going to buy myself as a retirement present.'
Worn by Lyndon B Johnson and given to John F Kennedy as a gift from Marilyn Monroe, it's clear how the Day-Date got its nickname. In Rolex literature, however, the only thing that gets called President is the bracelet. Made exclusively in either solid gold or platinum with a distinctive three semi-circular links, the President bracelet was made especially for the Day-Date at its launch in 1956. It is weighty and reassuring, but secure and comfortable, with ceramic inserts in the links for flexibility. Another characteristic feature of the bracelet is the Crownclasp – a hinged Rolex crown that is both a smooth way to unfasten the bracelet and also an aesthetic feature in its own right. It is available in a case size of either 36mm or 40mm, exclusively in 18ct gold or 950 platinum. The Calibre 3255 features the Chronergy escapement. Due to the enhanced barrel architecture and the escapement's superior efficiency, the power reserve of calibre 3255 is a healthy 70 hours. It is waterproof to 100 metres, and has instantaneous day and date in apertures at 12 and 3 o'clock with secure rapid-setting via the crown and stop-seconds for exact time setting.
Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36mm from £26,500
'Stepping up to the Lady-Datejust gives you an opportunity to opt for the beautiful hues of yellow, white or Everose gold, all beautifully prepared and machined in Rolex's own manufacture.'
With a slightly larger case size than the Oyster Perpetual 26, the 28mm Lady-Datejust takes things up a couple of notches in other ways, too. It is fitted with a date function viewed through Rolex's classic Cyclops window that magnifies the number to two and a half times its original size. The first version of this date chronometer for women, the Lady-Datejust first appeared in 1957 and comes in different combinations of Oystersteel and gold. Whatever material you choose, the self-winding manufacture movement inside is the same. That green Rolex seal that comes with every piece guarantees the quality – each movement has been officially COSCcertified as a chronometer and then the watch is tested a second time by Rolex to meet Rolex's standards – much higher than those of the official chronometer testing body. Rolex does its own testing using state-of-the-art equipment specially developed by Rolex that checks the water-resistance and winding capacity. TheOyster case is crafted from a solid block of particularly corrosion-resistant Oystersteel, 18ct gold, or 950 platinum and is guaranteed to depth of 100 metres. The Lady-Datejust is available on a three-piece link Oyster bracelet with a folding Oysterclasp or on a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet – created specially for the Datejust in 1945 – with a Crownclasp; or on a three-piece link President bracelet with a Crownclasp. The Lady-Datejust's Oyster bracelet also features the Easylink comfort extension link, developed by Rolex, which allows the wearer to easily increase the bracelet length by approximately 5mm, for additional comfort in any circumstance. A concealed attachment system on the bracelet ensures seamless visual continuity between the bracelet and case. On the 18ct gold and 950 platinum versions, the Oyster and President bracelets include ceramic inserts inside the links to enhance their flexibility and longevity. The Lady-Datejust is fitted with a 4Hz Rolex Manufacture Calibre 2236 movement with a Syloxi silicon hairspring and a power reserve of 55 hours. It also has instantaneous date at 3 o'clock with secure rapid-setting stop-seconds for exact time setting.
Lady-Datejust 28 from £4,850
'This watch shows how much variety you can have within one model – this larger Datejust with the Wimbledon dial is a hit with tennis fans. Rolex is paying tribute to another Swiss legend, Roger Federer, who made Wimbledon his home during all all-conquering career.'
Rolex's association with sport goes back almost a century. In 1927, young British swimmer Mercedes Gleitze swam the English Channel while wearing a Rolex Oyster. Rolex published a full-page advertisement in The Daily Mail calling it 'the greatest achievement in watchmaking'. This was just the beginning. In 1935, after Sir Malcolm Campbell drove Bluebird to a new land speed record of more than 300 miles per hour, he wrote Rolex an understated note that read: 'I have now been using my Rolex watch for a while, and it is keeping perfect time under somewhat strenuous conditions'. Rolex now has long-standing sponsorships with Formula 1, equestrianism, yachting and golf. Perhaps best-known is Rolex's association with tennis. Rolex has been the Official Timekeeper of Wimbledon for more than 40 years. Roger Federer is a long-time Rolex Testimonee and throughout his incredible career Wimbledon that has seen the biggest moments – in the summer of 2009, Federer beat Andy Roddick in an epic five-set Wimbledon final to win his 15th Grand Slam, surpassing a Pete Sampras record many thought would never be beaten.
Datejust 41 from £5,650
'The Yacht-Master is an elegant and functional sporting choice that looks great whether you wear it at sea or in the boardroom.'
Rolex has an association with sailing that goes back to the 1960s when it began sponsoring New York Yacht Club races. Since then it has formed associations with some of the world's best-known yacht clubs and regattas, from SailGP to the Rolex Fastnet race. The Yacht-Master was launched in 1992, designed specifically for sailors. It is recognisable by its distinctive 60-minute bezel with raised numbers. The bezel comes in 18ct gold, 950 platinum or Rolex's scratch- and corrosion-resistant Cerachrom ceramic. The Yacht-Master is available with case sizes of 37, 40 or 42mm, all with date window and Cyclops lens at 3 o'clock, and all are waterproof to 100 metres. There is the option of an Oysterflex bracelet – Rolex's sporty choice that often finds favour with sailors. It is over-moulded with high-performance black synthetic polymer that was developed by Rolex to be resistant to the elements – perfect for someone who chooses to spend their life being sprayed with sea water. There is also the more traditional option of a three-link Oyster bracelet. The watch is fitted with Rolex Calibre 3235 with the anti-magnetic blue Parachrom hairspring. The oscillator is fitted on high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers to increase shock resistance, and has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
Yacht-Master from £9,950

If you're lucky enough to have majestic oaks trees in your backyard you will know that when summer draws to an end your lawn will be covered in acorns.
For some people this isn't a problem, looking out and admiring the view is a great way to relax.
For others, it is a nightmare, particularly if you use the area regularly for walking on, entertaining, or playing ball games.
We decided to find out how to clean up acorns in yard, write some handy hints and review the best products, manual and electric, to help make the job easier.

Do Fallen Acorns Kill Your Grass?
That depends. If the squirrels don't get to them first, the lawnmower usually will. This will grind them into small pieces which will return nutrients to the soil.
If they are left lying on the grass for a long time, they could slowly turn more acidic and lower the ph level of the soil. This makes it difficult for grass to grow.
Large oak trees also cast large shadows making it difficult for grass to get enough sunlight to be healthy.
The only way to stop acorns falling is to cut oak trees back as far as possible or choose the more drastic option and cut them down.
Fallen acorns also attract squirrels and mice; they carry ticks that carry Lyme disease.
Understanding how to pick up acorns in yard doesn't have to involve hours of back-breaking work, take a look at some of these useful products to make the task an easier one.
Best Yard Vacuum for Acorns
1. Greenworks 2 Speed 230 MPH Corded Blower/Vacuum
- Designed to provide superior mulching and high powered performance
- Powerful 12 amp motor generates 230 MPH / 375 CFM to clear debris, sticks, and leaves
- 2-speed control for better control in both blower and vacuum mode
- Converts from blower to vacuum function with no tools required. Important: Use 14 gauge 50' or 12 gauge 100' extension cord
- 4-year warranty protects your investment
This electric-powered backyard vacuum has to be the least back-breaking way of collecting pesky fallen acorns.
It is quick and easy to assemble; no tools are required. It is comfortable to hold and operating it is a cinch, 1-button to turn it off and on.
The motor is a powerful 120-amp which makes light work of big dry leaves, twigs, and small acorns. Better still; the in-built mulcher grinds the waste to small pieces as you work, enabling the user to collect large amounts with each use.
I love the waste bag has a fully adjustable shoulder strap that sits comfortably as you work. Feed the tube directly into the bag and all of the mulched lawn waste will be mulched into it, leaving both hands free to operate the vacuum.
This tool is multi-functional; it is also a powerful leaf-blower that can reach speeds of up to 230mph.
The 100-ft power cable that is supplied allows you to reach long distances whilst maintaining constant full-power.
Weighing in at less than 10-pounds, this is a really useful tool that doesn't cost that much more than a quality hand-rake.
And did I say that it has a 4-year warranty?!

If you're wondering what is the best way to rake acorns when you have a particularly large yard then wonder no more.
If you have a ride-on lawnmower or tractor, you should consider buying a sweeper to attach to the back.
This not only collects acorns but all other manners of garden debris, including grass clippings, leaves, and twigs.
You will save so much time and effort than using a traditional rake alone, heck; it will almost seem like fun!
Agri-Fab has designed a universal hitch that will attach to any tractor unit. It is simple to assemble and takes around half an hour.
If you're struggling they have created a video to watch with step-by-step pointers.
The whole machine feels heavy-duty and sturdy and will last for years.
Once attached, the semi-pneumatic wheels only go through 1-single rotation as the brushes do 5. This enables the sweeper to pick up everything in just 1-pass. The in-built tongue ensures everything is collected, including acorns and pine cones. I suppose the huge 44-inch width doesn't hurt either, you could have a huge yard cleared up in minutes.
I love that the hopper holds a huge 23-ft3 and emptying it is a cinch, you can even do it from the seat of the tractor! Just by pulling on the long steel lever, you will dump all of its contents into a single neat pile.
Getting the most out of the sweeper isn't difficult, the push button adjuster allows you to set the brushes to the exact height to gather the maximum amount of debris.
Once you're finished, the sweeper is simple to store. It is collapsible and, amazingly folds to only 30% of its full-size!
So not only is this an extremely useful and high-performing piece of equipment, but it also takes up little storage space.

Buyers Guide
Things to consider when deciding the best way to rake acorns
- Yard size Consider buying a powered machine instead of hand rakes or scoops if you have a large space, a hand acorn rake is ideal for a smaller area.
- Effort Have you got the time and energy to clear a large space with a manual rake
- Budget There is a huge difference in prices of equipment, from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars
- Disposal What will you do with any collected acorns? If you need them whole then a vacuum with a mulcher is a bad idea
- Strength and durability Well-made and heavy-duty products are more desirable for areas with many oak trees that are likely to lose their fruit and leaves often.
- Surface If your trees overhang driveways and patios, ensure any sweeper you buy is suited to hard ground and not just grass
- Power Yard work can be back-breaking work. Choose a machine that will take most of the hard work out of it for you
- Weight Is the better suited to something lightweight or can they handle a higher-powered, heavier tool?
Great Ideas for Fallen Acorns
If you have spent time gathering all of the acorns from your backyard it might seem such a waste to throw them into the composter or worse still, the bin.
Here are a few fun ideas to try.
Feed the birds
Whole acorns are too big and hard for most backyard birds so do them a favor, crush them up in a bag first. You could also mix these crushed pieces with peanut butter, the low-salt variety, mold it around a string and hang it for a treat.
Get crafty
All of the best winter wreaths feature acorns somewhere. They are easy to slot in using decorators wire. You could also make fun Halloween decorations or how about a personalized centerpiece for your Christmas table.
Filling clear vases of different shapes and sizes can look so effective. Or sticking acorns on an old photograph frame using a hot glue gun is another great use. Both of these are cheap and simple gift ideas.
It may sound crazy but your local animal parks and zoos would be very grateful for a large bag of fallen acorns. They can be used in animal foods or as playthings in animal pens.
Here a video How to pick up acorns.
What is mulching?
If a leaf vacuum mulches the debris, it slices of grinds it into smaller pieces using an inbuilt plastic or metal blade.
The mulch is then easier to dispose of or is an ideal compost for your yard.
Is an electric or cordless leaf blower better?
That is down to personal choice. An electric one will have a constant power source for as long as you need it, but you will have to contend with a cable, and maybe extensions.
A cordless vacuum is less hassle to use, just grab and go, but you will only get around 20-minutes battery life at a time.
Is a lawn sweeper for acorns only useful in fall?
It is suited for that time of year, yes, when the acorns drop and leaves fall from the trees.
However, there is a virtual year-round use for most sweepers. In early spring it is the perfect tool to remove debris that winter left behind. During spring, summer, and fall they are great for clearing grass clippings.
And finally
As the summer draws to an end and the leaves start to fall from the trees, the acorns drop, and every gardener thinks here we go again, operation clean up!
Using the best tool for the job can take the strain and the aching back out of yard work.
I hope that you have found best ways to clean up acorns and use my handy hints and best product reviews to complete the task efficiently and leave yourself with more free time to concentrate on other things, like Halloween and the holidays.
