Buenos Aires Province Senate
The Senate of Buenos Aires Province ( es, Senado de la provincia de Buenos Aires) is the upper house of the Legislature of Buenos Aires Province, the largest and most populous of Argentina's provinces. It comprises 43 members elected in eight multi-member constituencies known as Electoral Sections. The number of senators that correspond to each of the electoral sections is proportional to their population, as observed in the results of every nationwide census conducted in Argentina every 10 years. Seats may only be added to adjust the proportionality of each section, but never reduced. As in the National Chamber of Deputies and most other provincial legislatures, elections to the Senate are held every two years, so that half of its members are up in each election. The same system is employed in the provincial Chamber of Deputies. The Senate was established with the promulgation of the Constitution of the State of Buenos Aires, a short-lived secessionist state, in 1854. Origin ...

Tinsmith
A tinsmith is a person who makes and repairs things made of tin or other light metals. The profession may sometimes also be known as a tinner, tinker, tinman, or tinplate worker; whitesmith may also refer to this profession, though the same word may also refer to an unrelated specialty of iron-smithing. By extension it can also refer to the person who deals in tinware, or tin plate. Tinsmith was a common occupation in pre-industrial times. Unlike blacksmiths (who work mostly with hot metals), tinsmiths do the majority of their work on cold metal (although they might use a hearth to heat and help shape their raw materials). Tinsmiths fabricate items such as water pitchers, forks, spoons, and candle holders. Training of tinsmiths The tinsmith learned his trade, like many other artisans, by serving an apprenticeship of 4 to 6 years with a master tinsmith. Apprenticeships were considered "indentures" and an apprentice would start first with simply cleaning the shop, polishing t ...
