Lion Lock is a famous British fingerprint door lock brand having the Lion Head symbol with the desire to not only create a good locking product but also a product of "pride". That likes the pride of the male Lion King.

The birth of Lion Lock

The happening of industrial revolution in the late eighteenth century in UK helped the mechanic industry more developed. Metal locks and keys are manufactured with unprecedented complexity and sophistication.

In 1778 Robert Barron perfected the Lion Lock lift type . By 1818 Jeremiah Chubb had greatly improved the technique of the lift lock.

By 1821, the huge theft of property happened in Portsmouth Dockyard city that prompted the British Government to announce a produce competition of locks with additional alarm functions for property owners. In 1824, the researcher-Chubb Lion studied the basic Lion Lock fingerprint lock series successfully.

In 1861, Linus Yale, Bramah took inspiration from the old lock pattern to invent a new type of metal key with different short and long incisors. Integrate security technologies such as fingerprints, touch cards, face recognition are used for apartments' locks.

Although there are some improvements in the main design, the majority of the locks today are still variations of the designs invented by Bramah, Chubb Lion Lock and Yale.

Meaning of the Lion symbol

The lion is named the lord of all beings. There is no animal more powerful on the ground than it. Not even the tiger and the leopard can compare. The lion's charisma has the deep features of an emperor.

This is also the most popular feng shui item of the professions that use their mouth to make a living like Lawyers, Artists ... They often put a couple of lion statues in the office for illustrious reputation.

Kara Walkers commission for Tate Moderns Turbine Hall, the massive fountain Fons Americanus (2019), will be taken apart, destroyed, and recycled for later use. The monumental sculpture was set to be exhibited through April 5th, but its display ended early when the Tate museums group closed its four branches mid-March due to COVID-19. The institutions latest Hyundai commission, Walkers fountain was critically acclaimed and seen by thousands of visitors.

Fons Americanus was constructed with mostly recyclable materialslike reusable cork and woodin accordance with the Tates dedication to environmental sustainability. Last year, Walker told The Art Newspaper: I would hope some aspect of it would have another life. It has all the possibilities for living beyond its present [form]. Walkers previous monumental public artwork, A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby (2014), at Brooklyns Domino Sugar refinery, also ended in demolition.

Walkers 42-foot-tall structure spiraled up from two circular pools of crystalline water. Unveiled in October during Frieze Week, the fountain pulled inspiration from the monumental Victoria Memorial fountain in front of Buckingham Palace. Though the exhibition ended prematurely, video documentation of Walkers work can be viewed on Tates website.

The Lake Mills Area School District Board of Education met for its first virtual meeting Monday and authorized the administration to request the Department of Public Instruction waive the minimum number of instruction hours set in state statutes for this school year due to COVID-19 related school closure.

This gives the administration the authority to fill out any paperwork for DPIs minimum hours of instruction, said Pam Streich, district administrator.

The Lake Mills Area School District is in its third week of virtual learning. Teachers are providing videos for their students and using the districts curriculum. The schools have also been doing daily attendance as a way to keep track of students. For students with individualized education plans staff have been working hard to connect with those families, said Amanda Thompson, director of curriculum and instruction.

Im really impressed with the food service staff and the work theyve been able to do, said Wendy Brockert, business manager.

Brockert discussed a grant the district has applied for to help with costs associated with the food program that is currently going on due to COVID-19.

On April 8, food service staff gave out 3,600 meals, Streich said.

I want to thank Real Hope Community Church for taking charge and feeding families while we were on Spring Break, she said.

Streich discussed a survey that is going out to parents during the virtual learning process saying the district is analyzing that information.

Everyone has really stepped up for the kids, she said of all members of the school district staff including food service, bus drivers, teachers, all staff.

In other business the board:

Approved Dean Health Insurance for the 2020-21 school year with a 0% increase.

Approved Delta Dental for the 2020-21 school year.

Approved hiring Brenda Morris as the LMC director and English teacher at Lake Mills High School.

We were really excited she could accept this position and still teach AP English, Streich said.

Approved hiring Haley Stephens as a math teacher at Lake Mills Middle School.

Accepted the land use agreement with Roger and Beth Wiedenfeld for the FFA test plot on County Road B.

Windows down, door open? That needs a fix.

Some recalls are fairly standard, and some of them are a little quirkier. The latest Chevrolet Bolt EV recall sits in the latter category.

According to documents Chevy's parent automaker General Motors filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration late last month, rolling down the rear window could lead to the rear door also opening. That's certainly not good, though it only affects 897 vehicles from the 2019-2020 model years.

The problem rests in a door handle cable that may be too long, GM says in the recall notice. If the windows come in contact with the abnormally long cable, the window rolling downward could damage the cable and eventually let the corresponding rear door swing open. The rear door handle may also stop working from the inside. In both cases, NHTSA says there's an increased risk of injury to passengers in the rear seat of the Bolt EV.

GM already has a remedy for the problem and plans to start notifying owners on May 11. Those with a Bolt EV that includes the faulty door handle cable will need to take their car to a local dealer where a service technician will replace the cable free of charge.

Apple's newest iPad Pro is here. Complete with an LiDAR scanner and full trackpad support, it appears to be even more of a PC replacement than previous models. Even if you arent looking to replace your trusty laptop, the iPad is an incredible device. In fact, its the only tablet Id recommend buying after years of covering consumer technology and Im not exactly what youd call an Apple fanatic. I use Windows on my main computer and a Chromebook for portable work. Ive also been a diehard Android phone user since the original Motorola Droid was released. In other words, this advice is not coming from a place of brand loyalty its coming from years of using the iPad alongside other tablets on the market.

While price has historically been a barrier to Apples products, the current iPad lineup ranges from affordable to fairly expensive (and powerful). No matter which one you buy, it can probably handle most actions, including:

You may see the more demanding actions perform better on the higher-cost iPad models, but for the most part any model should work well for general use.

The lowest-cost iPad which is just named the iPad is the seventh generation of Apples venerable tablet. It boasts a super-sharp 10.2-inch display, up to 128GB of storage and Apples A10 Fusion central processing unit (CPU). This is a slower CPU than more expensive models but you likely won't notice the difference. Im still using an older iPad with a comparable CPU and it runs like butter even when playing games. At $329, you couldnt ask for a better bang for your buck.

Let our news meet your inbox. The news and stories that matters, delivered weekday mornings.

When I bought my current iPad the 2016 9.7-inch iPad Pro I planned on using it for comic books, games and computer magazines (yes, Im a huge nerd). A big screen was a must for me, but if youre just looking to read ebooks, browse Facebook and take your tablet anywhere, the smaller 7.9-inch iPad Mini could be an alternative.

The iPad Air, as its name implies, is slightly thinner than the regular iPad. But the real improvement comes in a faster A12 Bionic CPU, more available storage (up to 256GB) and extra features like a wide-color, anti-reflective, True Tone display for a more natural-looking image.

At 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro is closer to the size of a laptop and has a higher price tag (though there is a smaller and more affordable 11-inch model). This is the iPad for people looking to replace their computer and thanks to the most powerful processor in an iPad the A12Z Bionic and up to 1TB of storage, it will work well for all your digital creations.

Android and Windows tablets can do similar things to an iPad, but the feel of using the device is why I chose an iPad. Android has struggled to get its tablet interface feeling as smooth and usable and many Android apps from big names like Spotify to various magazines and lots of smaller third-party tools are similar to phone apps blown up to fit the size of a tablet. Plus, a lot of apps come out on iOS before reaching other platforms, which can be frustrating if you have to wait for a new game to launch for your Android product.

I also prefer the iPad over Microsofts tablet. The app interface isn't comparable and I end up spending most of my time in a browser, which just seems silly for the price.

When it comes to longevity, I find that iPads last a relatively long time. Now, Android tablets might not get future updates since Google stopped manufacturing their own Android tablets. In addition to the actual product, I find that there are far more iPad-focused accessories like fold-out keyboard cases, than there are for any given Android tablet. Android and Windows tablets do have their advantages, of course.

LAUTARO MARTINEZ'S agent has confirmed there is a "good chance" of him moving to Barcelona this summer despite interest from Manchester City.

The Inter Milan ace has banged in 16 goals this term and is one of the hottest transfer targets in Europe.

Barcelona seem to have overtaken Manchester City in the four-way battle with Real Madrid and Chelsea to secure Martinez's signature this summer.

The 22-year-old arrived at San Siro from Argentine outfit Racing Club in 2018 and has three years left on his contract, which includes a 97.5million buy-out clause.

Quique Setien's side were linked with the Inter golden boy in the January transfer window - but the club stopped short of triggering his release clause.

The Catalan giants are eyeing an eventual replacement for Luis Suarez - who is recovering from the knee operation he had in January.

And a mega-money signing of Neymar is becoming less likely after football across Europe was halted by coronavirus.

Sergio Zarate, one of Lautaro Martinezs representatives believes a move to Barca could well be on the cards.

He told SPORT: "Theres a very big possibility.

"Hes a great player. A tremendous player, this kid doesnt have a ceiling.

"Its the player who decides. Lionel Messi is there, I think he has a bit more chance of wanting to move beside the best (player) of all.

Inter can want whatever they want, but the market rules. As always, when European giants want a player, they go with everything. Now what is important is not the shirt.

Inters hopes of getting him to agree a new deal were hit by thecoronavirus pandemic but the club's vice-president Javier Zanetti remains confident of keeping his star player in Serie A.

He toldESPN: "At Inter I see him happy, he identifies with the club.

"We believed in him. I see his future at Inter."

City boss Pep Guardiola sees Martinez as the long-term replacement for Sergio Aguero and former Argentina striker Hernan Crespo hailed Martinez as the predators successor.
