Called one of the most significant historical sites in Florida and perhaps the U.S. by Florida historian Canter Brown Jr., Angola is a story of struggle, tragedy and ultimately, survival in the quest for freedom. Angola also reveals Florida’s important role as a sanctuary for escaped slaves who established settlements, farmed, traded and traveled.
This month, descendants of these escaped slaves—many of whom live in the Bahamas where their ancestors found refuge—are returning to the Manatee Mineral Spring site for the first Back to Angola Festival. In September, the National Park Service is meeting to determine if Angola qualifies as part of the Underground Railroad Network of Freedom of Freedom. “From what I know now, this is one of the largest Florida settlements of resisters to enslavement,” says Sheri Jackson, southeast regional manager of the program.

As the new semester rolls around, we begin asking ourselves some important questions. Will I be able to tolerate another year of dining hall food? How will I make it to class with this raging hangover? Will I finally pass my intro level Spanish class?
Lucky for you, I have the solution to your woes: probiotics.
New research on the connection between the emotional and cognitive centers of the brain to intestinal and immune functions is slowly emerging, which is good news for both scientists and college students alike. This means that probiotics might actually be able to lift your spirits when your high school girlfriend dumps you over Thanksgiving break!
Not only will your bacterial buddies help you through your break up, but they’ll probably make you smarter too. Early evidence of this link arose around 20 years ago when antibiotics were used to treat patients suffering from hepatic encephalopathy (a condition that causes liver damage that results in the loss of brain function).
When oral antibiotics were introduced to their treatment, patients exhibited dramatic improvement in their brain health and cognitive abilities—suggesting a tangible link between gut bacterial diversity and brain health.
More recently, dramatic evidence surfaced on the link between “bad” bacteria in a subgroup of patients with impaired cognition. So when you start taking your probiotics this semester, you might finally be able to make it to Spanish 102! The third time really is the charm.
Not only is the gut-brain axis relevant in diagnosing and treating physical health conditions, but there is also progress being made in defining the connection between mental health and the balance of gut bacteria. Studies confirm that gut microbiota affects anxiety by influencing brain neurochemistry in patients.
Specifically, Lactobacillus rhamnosus has been confirmed to reduce stress-induced cortisol release as well as symptoms of anxiety and depression. On a serious note, if you feel like you’re down in the dumps after midterm season, give your college counselor a visit--your mental health is extremely important.
P.S. Take probiotics before a big night out to make it easier to get to class the next morning!

In last years the authors have investigated nonlinear systems for vibrational energy harvesting. Nonlinear configurations have been demonstrated that, under the proper conditions, can provide better performance, compared to linear resonant oscillators, in terms of the amount of energy extracted from environmental wide spectrum mechanical vibrations. In particular, the authors presented the results of investigations on a system exploiting the advantages of a nonlinear bistable Snap-Through-Buckling (STB) configuration and two piezoelectric transducers placed at the locations of the two stable states (the position of the two minima of the bistable potential underpinning the dynamics of the system). The device investigasted was shown to be capable of providing sufficient electrical energy to power an RF transmitter. However, in order to properly design the harvester an analytical model is necessary. The authors are investigating different nonlinear models. In this work, a comparison between two different theoretical models for the STB beam is discussed.

Theresa May spoke to north's political leaders to secure return of devolved government at Stormont
THERESA May has spoken to political leaders in Northern Ireland as efforts continue to secure the return of devolved government at Stormont.
The powersharing institutions have been collapsed since January 2017 following a breakdown in relations between leading parties the Democratic Unionists and Sinn Féin.
A fresh round of talks started last week with what was described as a "constructive" meeting of the parties.
On Monday the prime minister spoke to Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald, vice president Michelle O'Neill, Ulster Unionist leader Robin Swann and Alliance leader Naomi Long and was due to speak to SDLP leader Colum Eastwood.
Downing Street said Mrs May had previously spoken to the DUP's Arlene Foster.
The prime minister's official spokesman said: "The PM is very keen to see progress being made in the talks and the UK government, working with the Irish government, is doing everything in its power to make the talks a success."
Mary Lou McDonald said that during her conversation with Mrs May she emphasised her determination to resolve "outstanding issues".
She wrote on twitter after her conversation with the prime minister that "a deal is possible, with equality at its core".
Ulster Unionist leader Robin Swann urged Mrs May to work to protect the Bombardier plant in Belfast during his conversation with her.
UUP European election candidate Danny Kennedy said: "I'm very pleased my party leader raised this issue directly with the prime minister in his telephone conversation today.
"The prime minister was able to inform Robin that the business secretary Greg Clark would provide an update.
"Ideally this would have been done by a locally accountable minister. However given the ongoing Stormont stalemate, I am pleased that Greg Clark and his department are taking a lead on this.
"However, we need to keep attention focused on getting the best result for the Northern Ireland workforce."

WASHINGTON — Utah will receive $14 million to respond to bioterrorism and other public health emergencies, such as infectious disease outbreaks like SARS or the West Nile virus.
The money will be distributed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a statement said Tuesday. Utah's share is part of $1.4 billion that will be distributed nationally.
The money will allow the state to continue planning and upgrading its public health system. It is also for hospitals that will be called to respond in emergencies, the statement said. The funds will be used to assess state and local readiness in such emergencies. It also will be used for surveillance and epidemiology, biological and chemical labs, communications technology, public health education and smallpox preparedness planning, the statement said.

ARLINGTON RESERVOIR DAM
SUMMARY OF DAM INSPECTION/EVALUATION REPORT
Date of Inspection: June 25, 1998
By: Hydraulic & Water Resources Engineers for DEM Office of Dam
General Notes: Assessment of Dam was based on the general conditions
and available data and visual inspections. The inspection was required
because a previous report in 1987 by Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc. reported
that there were serious structural, and/or hydraulic and/or emergency action
Findings from visual inspections (at time of inspection the water
elevation was 158.0 MSL (mean sea level) or 4 feet below the top of the
Summary of Recommendations
Evidence of extensive seepage and rust stained wet areas were observed
along the downstream toe in the area right of the emergency spillway. Wet
areas were also present along the downstream toe to the left of the spillway
where the Mill Brook flows adjacent to the toe of slope.
Spalling and mortared joints and missing stones were observed in the emergency
spillway training walls and outlet channel. There is erosion of the embankment
at its contact with the left training wall.
A crack and spalled area on the left concrete sidewall of the principal
gated spillway was found. There is a 4-inch diameter hole in the tainter
Riprap was absent and localized erosion from wave action was evident along
the upstream slope of the dam.
It is unknown whether or not the low-level outlet is operational.
Trees and debris are blocking the spillway outlet.
Heavy tree and brush growth make it difficult to monitor the condition
of the dam and to observe sinkholes, cracks, slides or animal burrows on
the upstream slope of the dam.
Estimated cost to complete work: $188,000 to $270,000
Implement a regular inspection program to monitor any changes in the condition
of the dam.
Remove trees and brush on the slopes of the earth embankment. Fill stumpholes
with compacted granular fill on downstream slope and compacted impervious
fill on the upstream slope.
Remove trees, brush and debris and repoint the spalled mortared joints
in the emergency spillway channel.
Provide riprap slope protection on the upstream slope of the embankment
particularly where erosion of the shoreline has occurred.
Repair the spalled concrete and crack on the left sidewall of the spillway
General Description of the Arlington Reservoir Dam
The Arlington Reservoir Dam is an earth embankment With a minimum top
width of 20 ft. The dam impounds water from the Munroe Brook and has a
drainage area of 2.36 square miles. The reservoir was built in the late
1800's and used for water supply for the town. The spillway crest gate
was built from 1957 to 1958.
The Arlington Reservoir Dam is presently used for recreation and flood
control. The overall length of the dam embankment is 1770 feet and is located
between Lowell Street and the Boston and Maine Railroad tracks (Minuteman
Bikeway) at the Arlington and Lexington town lines. The dam is an intermediate
size dam. There is a housing development immediately downstream of the
dam and therefore the dam is classified as Class 1, (high) hazard dam.
The responsibility for operation and maintenance of the dam lies with the
Arlington Department of Public Works.
Crest Gate Spillway with concrete sidewalls and wingwalls is located 80'
to left of emergency spillway. Gate can be raised from elevations 153 MSL
to 159 MSL with its crest 3 feet from below the top of the dam. It is manually
operated. Overflow passes into a 60 inch diameter, 70 foot long concrete
pipe and then into the Mill Brook.
Emergency Spillway is a stone and mortar channel which is about 20 feet
wide and 3 feet deep. Overflow from this spillway also empties into Mill
Brook. A steel service bridge in general disrepair spans the spillway.
Low level outlet is located about 800 feet to the left of the crest gate
spillway. The low level outlet empties into a 12" pipe which then empties
into a 15" concrete storm drain which then empties into the Mill Brook.
An earthen embankment 1770' feet long which has a structural height from
the dam crest to the lowest downstream slope of approximately 14 feet (only
an estimate). The top of the embankment is 162 MSL. Top of the dam downstream
is 148 MSL. The maximum storage capacity is approximately 480 acre feet.
The reservoir has a surface area of 65 acres.
Previous studies and reported problems:
Crest gate of sluiceway is used to regulate the surface water elevation
of the reservoir from elevations 159 MSL to 153 MSL.
Low level outlet (~ 148 MSL is used to draw the reservoir even lower.
Proposed Scope of Services for town funded study:
1981 by ASEC Corporation and 1987 by Camp, Dresser and McKee, Inc.
Previous concerns from hydraulic/hydrologic data from both studies: distinct
potential for overtopping the dam and the spillway is capable of passing
not more than 48% of the Storm Design Flood (based on a 1/2 PMF storm event
(I think a 500 yr. storm)).
Inspect the conditions at the dam and identify two repair options and
a cost estimate for selected repair option. Perform a hydraulic and hydrologic
study to evaluate the spillway capacity of the dam. Neither an Emergency
Action Plan nor an Operation and Maintenance plan will be completed.

On June 24, TIAA-CREF and Henderson Global Investors announced two significant real estate transactions. TIAA-CREF agreed to acquire the North American real estate business of Henderson. That business has more than $2.5 billion in AUM.
In addition to the acquisition, the two companies formed a new joint venture — TIAA Henderson Global Real Estate — which initially will have about £13 billion ($20 billion) in assets under management. Henderson Global Investors contributed its European and Asian property business with $16.9 billion in AUM; TIAA-CREF contributed its European real estate business with $3.1 billion in AUM and paid Henderson a cash payment of $175.7 million, which was also for the acquisition of Henderson's North American property business.
The new entity will be 60% owned by TIAA-CREF and 40% owned by Henderson.
TIAA-CREF has a “one-off” option to purchase up to an additional 15% stake in TIAA Henderson Global Real Estate.
According to Pensions & Investments data, the new entity would be the 15th-largest real estate manager and the fourth-largest manager of non-U.S. real estate assets. The supermajority of assets are in Europe.

The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
I have a poor track record when it comes to reading thrillers. Mostly because they’re simply not thrilling – I either spend time guessing what has happened and then watching it unfold (The Girl on the Train) or thinking “This is just far-fetched stupidity” (Gone Girl). So how did the bestseller, The Wife Between Us, hold up? Very, very well.
The blurb outlines a story about a jealous ex-wife and her beautiful, young ‘replacement’. At a glance, it’s a plot that’s the bread-and-butter of thriller writers. However, the authors have added some very clever subplots that will have you reassessing the characters as the story unfolds.
This book made me gasp in surprise, but only twice. That’s important because twists and turns on every third page has me filing thrillers under “This is just far-fetched stupidity”. Instead, every detail in this story has been meticulously planned by the authors and the ending is immensely satisfying.
Wimmera by Mark Brandi
(to be published as Into the River in the US, September 2019)
Set in 1989, in rural Victoria, best friends Ben and Fab spend their days yabbying, playing cricket and wishing for the latest sneakers. What’s not talked about is the presence of domestic violence or the fact that a newcomer to town frightens both boys.
The novel didn’t work for me for a number of reasons. Wimmera is positioned as a coming-of-age crime story (an Australian Stand By Me?). Yes, there is a crime – in fact, multiple crimes. Although each crime is carefully plotted, it was all too much and the final part of the story was rushed and uneven as a result. Furthermore, the voices of the boys missed the mark – their discussions about pornography and masturbation did not ring true and whilst these elements were used to provide contrast with other parts of the plot, they were gratuitous. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that having 11 year-olds look at pornography in one chapter, while they’re groomed in the next chapter, would be traumatic for some readers.
2/5 Needs to come with a raft of trigger warnings.
I received my copy of Wimmera from the publisher, Hachette Australia, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
I’m not a big thriller reader either but you’ve almost convinced me 🙂
The thing I usually hate about thrillers is excessive coincidences or convenient meetings between characters – this one had neither. Had me guessing until the very end.
I can do the occasional thriller but I find them hard to recall afterwards, unlike most other kinds of books….They just don’t stay in my brain
I agree, they rarely stay with me (and usually only do if I end up watching the film version of the book). This one is ripe to be made into a film although one of the major twists may be more obvious on film.
I share your opinion on thrillers and rarely read them! Thanks for the heads up about Wimmera, no other review I’ve read has mentioned this and as a mother of two sons, 13 and 15, this is not the type of content I want to read. At least, not now or in the foreseeable future.
Yes, I’m the same. To be clear, there’s references to suicide, domestic violence, child sexual abuse, child pornography and grooming. I think people need to know that going in.
That’s beyond heavy reading.
Yes, and I actually find it interesting that it won a Dagger Award. I don’t know the criteria for that award but it is certainly not a police procedural novel, nor does it have a strong forensic angle. There’s a bit of courtroom stuff at the end but that part feels tacked on rather than a critical part of the plot.
I read The Rip, this year’s release from him, and found much to appreciate in it. But I did note at the time that readers who had read Wimmera were saying The Rip was totally different in style and tone as well as type of story.
Wimmera was nominated for an ABIA as well, from memory. Can’t remember if it won or not, though.

dodgyman wrote:On the midwest roads map, which option for the Adare bypass seems the most obvious, red, green or blue?
From what I make out the original option 1 (Black Route) looks the better choice for the N21 bypass. It seems the bypass options 2, 3 and 4 will only connect the N21 with the old N20 road and not directly with the M20. One would eventually get onto M20 at the Attyflin (Patrickswell) junction. The NRA illustrations need more detail!
Which route do you preferr yourself?
Limerick County Council is to revisit and review the Route Corridor Selection for the N21 Adare Bypass as a result of changes in national infrastructural policy along with the recent announcement of the Emerging Preferred Route for the M20 Cork - Limerick Motorway Scheme.
Option 1 (Black Route)
Commences west of Adare on the N21 at Garraunboy, then departs from the existing road heading north east, crossing the L-8025 and the Greanagh River, before crossing Blackabbey Road and the Limerick-Foynes railway line and
heading east across Kildimo Road, then crossing the River Maigue and the railway before continuing parallel to the railway line to tie-in to the N21 at Gorteen.
Option 2 (Green Route)
Commences west of Adare on the N21 at Rower Beg, then departs east, running parallel to the existing N21 before crossing the R519 and heading south east towards the townland of Boulabally, bridging the River Maigue. The route
continues eastward crossing both the L-1420 and L-8053 before tying into the N20 at Fanningstown.
Option 3 (Red Route)
Commences west of Adare on the N21 at Rower Beg, then departs from the existing road heading south, before turning east and crossing the R519.
The route then traverses the townlands of Graiguesparling and Boulabally, where it bridges the River Maigue. The route turns north eastward
crossing both the L-1420 and L-8053 local roads before tying into the N20 at Garranroe.
Option 4 (Blue Route)
Commences west of Adare on the N21 at Garraunboy, then departs from the existing road heading south east. The route crosses the R519 in the townland of Granard, before turning north eastward, crossing the River Maigue at Castleroberts and then the L-1420 before tying into the N20 at Fanningstown.

The National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) said the Kingdom’s economic growth stagnated in the first half amid the Covid-19 blows to the global economy and forecast that gross domestic product (GDP) would contract 1.9 per cent this year.
Cambodia and Vietnam have pledged to lift up bilateral trade to $7 billion this year by facilitating cross-border shipments amid tightened measures at border checkpoints to prevent the outbreak of the Covid-19 disease.
Forty-seven companies have successfully registered via a newly-launched information technology e-business registration platform as of the end of the second week of this month, Ministry of Economy and Finance secretary of state Phan Phalla said.
Cambodia and South Korea agreed on Thursday to launch official negotiations for a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA).
Cambodia registered a remarkably sound consumer inflation rate of 2.5 per cent in the first half (H1) of this year by virtue of the slow rise in food prices, slipping petrol rates and stabilisation of local currency against the US dollar, the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) said in its semi-annual report on Wednesday.
Cambodia is studying the possibility of establishing a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA) with India to open a new market with the second-largest regional economy.
Prime Minister Hun Sen will lead a delegation of high ranking officials to sign the Cambodia-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA) next month, the Ministry of Commerce said.
New investments from local and foreign sources continue to pour into Cambodia despite the Covid-19 pandemic remaining a lingering threat to regional and global economies.
The Cambodia Chamber of Commerce (CCC) and the Australian Embassy in Phnom Penh on Wednesday pledged to promote trade and investment between the two countries, with emphasis on increasing the Kingdom’s exports and attracting an influx of new investors.
The Cambodia Business Association is optimistic that the South Korean market will absorb more Cambodian products after a free trade agreement (FTA) is established, as officials from both countries prepare for the first round of negotiations next month.


Aquaforest Reef Mineral Salt 800gr for maintaining a constant level of minerals in reef aquariums
25g must be dissolved in 1000ml demineralised water. To obtain an ion balance, one must also use Kh buffer, Magnesium and Calcium Aquaforest.
An agent for maintaining constant levels of minerals in reef aquariums. Using Reef Mineral Salt is one of the most important elements during supplementation of calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate (i.e. Balling Method). Lack of Reef Mineral Salt supplementation leads to dangerous minerals deficiency. Long-term shortages of micro and macronutrients result with excessive slowdown of growth and invalid, pale colouration of corals.
Reef Mineral salt dosing cannot be treated as an equivalent of important water changes, which are still necessary
Product only suitable for use in an aquarium.


Avatar: The Way of Water’s runtime has been revealed, and it is quite long. According to sources, The Hollywood Reporter informed that James Cameron’s return to the big screen and the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2009 film Avatar will run for three hours and 10 minutes, or 190 minutes. At 162 minutes in length, the original was also rather terrifying. Given that Cameron’s 1997 picture Titanic had a running time of 195 minutes, this is not very unusual for him. Additionally, despite having lengthy runtimes, his films’ box office success seems unaffected by them, and he is able to keep audiences’ interest during those protracted lengths.
Cameron said in an exclusive interview with Empire Magazine, “I don’t want anybody whining about length when they sit and binge-watch for eight hours. I can almost write this part of the review. ‘The agonizingly long three-hour movie.’ It’s like, give me a fucking break. I’ve watched my kids sit and do five one-hour episodes in a row. Here’s the big social paradigm shift that has to happen: it’s okay to get up and go pee.”
One of James Cameron’s longest theatrical productions, Avatar: The Way of Water could run for 3 hours and 10 minutes, trailing only Titanic’s theatrical edit of 3 hours and 14 minutes. The theatrical runtime of the first Avatar movie was 2 hours and 42 minutes, so its sequel has the opportunity to fully embrace Pandora’s immersive nature while delivering a bigger feeling of scale in its narrative. It will be interesting to see if audiences can endure the lengthy theatrical runtime. However, it’s probable that many fans won’t mind sticking in Pandora for a little bit longer if the response to the first movie is any indicator.
Avatar: The Way of Water, the long-awaited sequel to the popular movie, will focus on Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaa) and their family as they battle the RDA’s comeback and run across the Metkayina clan while exploring Pandora’s stunning oceans. While the film’s particular narrative is still a secret, more information will probably become known once the marketing campaign for the upcoming sequel gets under way in preparation for its December release. It won’t be long until fans get to return to Pandora and relive the sensation of amazement and wonder that resonated with them from the original movie after 13 years of development and production for the much anticipated sequel.

A successful Alzheimer’s disease cure research shows remarkable results that a treatment for the chronic neurodegenerative disease is within reach. If it could show slowing the pace of a patient’s mental decline, the drug could be the first licensed treatment of the disease in a decade.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), or just Alzheimer’s, is a disease that causes 60 to 70 percent of dementia cases. Dementia affects around 850,000 people in Britain and it is projected to reach 1 million by 2025. Alzheimer’s is the condition’s most common form.
To date, there are no treatments or medications to decrease the risk of getting the disease and stopping or reversing its progression. But that will hopefully soon change as a successful drug trial shows promising results in switching off the production of toxic amyloid proteins – these proteins clump together and form sticky plaques that are found in the brain of Alzheimer’s patients.
Alzheimer’s Disease Cure Research
The trial that was published in the journal Science Translation Medicine conducted a study on 32 Alzheimer’s disease patients. They were given the drug called verubecestat every day for seven days.
There were also healthy volunteers that were given the same drug, which they took for two weeks.
What was initially a drug trial for assessment of the drug’s safety showed remarkable findings that “switched off” the generation of amyloid proteins. Even though it does not yet have enough time to show visible changes in the aggregation of sticky plaque in the brain, two compounds of amyloid proteins that are known to be its building blocks were seen to lessen.
These tablets are being produced by pharmaceutical giant Merck. Matt Kennedy led the drug trial at Merck and revealed that there is an “urgent need” for drugs like verubecestat.
Nowadays, patients of Alzheimer’s disease have “very limited therapeutic options available.” While there are some that exist, they only work by giving “short-term improvement to the cognitive and functional systems.”
How does the drug work?
There is a leading theory of Alzheimer’s disease that state amyloid proteins kill the healthy neurons in a person’s brain which leads to memory loss and a decline in one’s cognitive and personality skills. And the new therapy halts the production of these proteins.
The drug works by blocking BACE1, a brain enzyme that leads to the production of two small molecules that lead to the formation of amyloids. There have been many attempts before at creating drugs that inhibit BACE1. However, their unacceptable side effects led to the medication’s failure.
But with the Merck drug, the side effects are very minimal. It will also be the first drug of its kind to reach a large efficacy trial.
A neuroscientist at UCL, Professor John Hardy, who was also the first to propose that amyloid proteins play a major role in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, are thrilled with the result of the Merck drug. He says it is a “very nice drug” and he is sure that “Merck are feeling very pleased with themselves.”
Merck Drug Goes into Phase Three of Trial
What is left now is to see whether the drug will slow down a patient’s mental decline and if it will convert cognitive benefits for the patients. As the drug goes into Phase 3 of the trial, more patients will be tested with 1,500 patients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s and 2,000 patients who have mild to moderate AD.First results of these trials are scheduled to be reported on July 2017.
First results of these trials are scheduled to be reported on July 2017. Kennedy says it is “premature to speculate” the availability of the drug in the market.However, they are “eagerly awaiting the results of phase three clinical trials.”
However, they are “eagerly awaiting the results of phase three clinical trials.”With the findings of the Alzheimer’s disease cure research, a cheaper and easier to produce medication for Alzheimer’s patients will hopefully soon be within reach.

PHILADELPHIA—Joan Sparks is passionate about the flute. She studied music with degrees from he University of Delaware and Temple University, performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Delaware Symphony, and many others in the mid-Atlantic area; and formed a flute-harp duo to international acclaim.
But she has never heard the flute used to play lilting melodies evoking images of celestial fairies, alongside the Chinese pipa.
On Jan. 9 at the Academy of Music, Ms. Sparks experienced an orchestra blending East and West through Shen Yun Performing Arts.
“The music is wonderful and fresh,” said Ms. Sparks, who now runs the Flute Pro Shop in Delaware, and regularly hosts workshops for world class performers. “I love hearing the traditional Chinese instruments, and I like how they’re blended in with the orchestration of the rest of the pieces.”
She noted how the orchestra kept to certain scale patterns, and the melodies that were cohesive throughout the program. Most of the instruments were familiar, but the sound was so fresh for Western ears, she said.
New York-based Shen Yun has four touring companies the same size, each with an orchestra that harmonizes seamlessly with traditional Chinese instruments like the pipa and two-stringed erhu. And that’s not the only unique thing about the performing arts company.
Shen Yun was formed to revive traditional Chinese culture, which is 5,000 years of a divinely inspired civilization, brought back from the brink of destruction.
Ms. Sparks enjoyed the artistry of the whole performance, lauding everything from the colors to the precision to the solo bel canto vocalists.
In a word, Ms. Sparks said Shen Yun was just joyful.

Increasingly, many of us associate our personal well-being with the high consumption of material goods. We have shifted from defining ourselves as citizens to being a society of consumers.
New Dream seeks to inspire people to re-examine their cultural values on consumption, "the good life," and never-ending economic growth. You'll find resources like:
- Our Living the Dream series, profiling folks who are living lives focused on “more of what matters.”
- Our American Dream Poll, which sheds new light on topics like advertising, consumption, and the sharing economy.
- Our animated video, "America the Possible," in which author and environmentalist Gus Speth shows us another America: the place we truly want for our children and ourselves.
- Our animated video, "Visualizing a Plenitude Economy," in which economist Juliet Schor envisions a post-consumer society.
Kim is very active in her local time bank as a way to support her community and create a more meaningful life outside of the consumer culture. »Read More
A new film examines how the American Dream has come to the end of its promise, and shows us an alternate pathway to happiness, wellness, and success. »Read More

The invention relates to a seat suspension apparatus including one or more spring which produces a cushioning effect against a user, and more particularly, to such apparatus in which the resilience of the spring and the elevation of the seat are adjustable.
A seat suspension apparatus of the kind described is mounted under a driver's seat of a heavy weight road vehicle such as goods vehicles, for example. Examples of conventional seat suspension apparatus are schematically illustrated in FIGS. 1a, 1b and 1c. The arrangement shown in FIG. 1a includes a pair of frames 30, 31, pivots 32, 34 fixedly mounted on the frame 30, pivots 33, 35 fixedly mounted on the frame 31, and a pair of connecting links 36, 37 which are pivotally mounted on the pair of pivots 32, 33 and 34, 35, respectively. An arm 38 is secured to the pivot 35 and has its free end connected with one end of a spring 39, the other end of which is connected with a threaded end of a handle 41 through a rotatable fastener 40. With this seat suspension apparatus, when a load (seating weight) is applied to a seat plate 42 secured to the frame 31 in a direction indicated by a thick arrow, the links 36, 37 turn clockwise until the tension of the spring 39 is balanced with the seating load. By turning the handle 41 to change the tension of the spring 39, the links 36, 37 can be turned either counter-clockwise or clockwise to change the elevation of the seat plate 42 and to vary the degree of a cushioning effect.
In the arrangement shown in FIG. 1b, the pivot 34 is rotatably mounted on the frame 30 and is fixedly connected with the link 37, with the arm 38 being secured to the pivot 34. Again, the handle 41 is turned to change the tension of the spring 39 in order to change the elevation of the seat plate 42.
In the arrangement shown in FIG. 1c, lower frame 30 is secured to a floor and carries pivots 32, 34 which are coupled with both links 36, 37. A similar seat suspension apparatus is disclosed in British Patent Specification No. 1,208,051 (Intl. Class B 60 nl/06, Complete Specification published Oct. 7, 1974).
A common problem to these conventional seat suspension apparatus is an increased height a from the floor and an increased back-and-forth stroke b (see FIG. 1c) through which the seat must be moved. Specifically, in the arrangements shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, the height a is necessarily greater than the spacing between the pivots 32, 34. With the arrangement of FIG. 1c, the lowermost position or the height a of the suspension must be maintained at a relatively high level since the parallelism of the seat plate 42 cannot be maintained if the latter is allowed to be lowered until all of the pivots 32, 34, 33, 35 are aligned on a line in response to the weight of a seat occupant and/or vibrations or shocks applied by the vehicle. The back-and-forth stroke b is also high because the pivot 35 follows a circular locus which is struck from the pivot 34 and the link 37 angularly moves above its horizontal position. In this manner, the increased magnitude of the height a and the back-and-forth stroke b of the suspension apparatus required an increased space margin around the driver's seat of the vehicle.
Another problem which is experienced with conventional seat suspension apparatus is the fact that a seat occupant must assume a slouched position to turn the handle which is located on the front side of the seat in order to adjust the tension of the spring. Furthermore, the handle must be turned several times in order to reach a proper elevation. It is cumbersome for the seat occupant to assume such position or to operate the handle in this manner, in particular for a driver who is forced to leave his proper seating position. Another type of seat suspension is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,357,825.
It is a first object of the invention to provide a seat suspension apparatus which provides a reduced height and a reduced back-and-forth stroke.
It is a second object of the invention to provide a seat suspension apparatus which permits an adjustment of the seating surface without departing from his normal seating position.
It is a third object of the invention to provide a seat suspension apparatus which permits an adjustment of the elevation of the seating surface with a simple lever operation.
In order to achieve above objects, in accordance with the invention, a seat suspension apparatus comprises a first and a second parallel motion assembly. The back-and-forth stroke b is minimized by allowing the first assembly to move through an extent centered about the horizontal position of the first parallel motion assembly in which its pivotal points (which are four in number) are aligned on a horizontal line. The second parallel motion assembly is interlocked with the first parallel motion assembly with a given offset angle so that the instability of the first parallel motion assembly in its horizontal position or in the vicinity thereof can be compensated for. As a result of such arrangement, when the first parallel motion assembly is in its unstable region, namely, in a horizontal position in which the pivots are substantially aligned on a line or in a region adjacent thereto, the second parallel motion assembly is in its stable region so that the suspension apparatus as a whole maintains a stable parallellism. Limiting the extent of movement of the parallel motion assembly across a horizontal position, it is possible to reduce the distance between the seat plate and the floor or the height a of the seat by allowing the links to reach the floor surface or to a position below the floor surface by providing notches or depressions therein, if required.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, an eccentric cam is used to rock an arm to which one end of a spring is connected, thereby allowing the line of action of the spring to be changed to permit an adjustment of the load which can be supported by the seat suspension apparatus. The eccentric cam is disposed for angular movement by a rod extending alongside the seat. In this manner, operating means, preferably lever, can be secured to the rod alongside the seat to permit an adjustment of a level of the seating surface without departing from a normal seating position of the seat occupant.
Preferably, locking means is provided to constrain a free angular movement of the rod secured to the eccentric cam after a desired elevation of the seating surface has been established, in order to prevent an unintended angular movement of the rod in response to vibrations, shocks or impact of another object upon the lever.

FIG. 2a is a side elevation of a seat provided with the seat suspension apparatus according to the invention;
FIG. 2b is a perspective view of the seat suspension apparatus constructed according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, as mounted on the seat shown in FIG. 2a;
FIG. 2c is an enlarged cross section taken along the line IIC--IIC shown in FIG. 2b;

FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c are diagrammatic side elevations of the seat suspension apparatus shown in FIG. 2b, illustrating different operative positions.
Referring to FIG. 2b, there is shown a general arrangement of the seat suspension apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. It comprises a parallel link assembly including an upper frame 1 to which a seat is secured, a lower frame 2 which is secured to a floor, a plurality of link arms 31, 32, 41, 42 and pivots 10, 81, 221, 231, which couple the link arms with the respective frames in a manner to permit their relative movement while maintaining the parallel relationship. The link arm 32 coupled with the upper frame 1 by a pivot which is located at a position corresponding to pivot 81, while link arm 42 is coupled with the upper and lower frames 1, 2 by pivots which are located in a manner corresponding to pivots 221, 231. The distance between pivots 9 and 81 is equal to the distance between the pivots 211 and 231, and this assures that the upper frame 1 maintains a parallellism with the lower frame 2 during its movement. Another pair of connecting links 51, 52 are coupled with pivots 9, 21 to form a parallelogram linkage similar to the upper frame 1.
Rotatably mounted on the pivot 10 is one end of arms 141, 142, the other end of which is engaged by one end of springs 61, 62, the other ends of which are in turn anchored to pins 201, 202 which are secured to the connecting links 51, 52. Intermediate their lengths, the arms 141, 142 are formed with elongate slots which are engaged by eccentric cams 151, 152. The eccentric cams 151, 152 are integrally secured to a rod 12 which is rotatably carried by link arms 31, 32. In other words, the rod 12 represents an eccentric shaft of the cams 151, 152. One end of the rod 12 extends beyond the lateral side of the upper frame 1, with a lever 13 being secured to the free end thereof. A bracket 11 forms part of locking means which locks the rod 12 against rotation.
FIG. 2c shows an enlarged cross section taken along the line IIc--IIc shown in FIG. 2b, and FIG. 2d shows an exploded perspective view of the bracket 11. Referring to these Figures to describe the arrangement of locking means associated with the bracket 11, it will be noted that the bracket 11 is channel-shaped in cross section and is rotatably coupled with the rod 12 which extends through the opposing limbs thereof. A member 16 is fixedly mounted on the rod 12 and is surrounded by the bracket 11. In its opposite end faces, the member 16 is formed with a pair of axially extending openings in which a pair of springs 181, 182 and balls 171, 172 are disposed. These springs 181, 182 urge the balls out of the openings, but the resulting movement is blocked by the abutment of the balls against the opposite limbs of the bracket 11. A plurality of holes are formed in the opposing limbs of the bracket 11 and are located on a circumference which is centered about the rod 12. These holes have a diameter which is less than that of the balls 171, 172. It will be seen that a rotation of the rod 12 is prevented when the balls 171, 172 are engaged with the holes formed in the bracket 11 as shown in FIG. 2c. Consequently, the rod 12 cannot be rotated unless the lever 13 is driven with an angular momentum which exceeds a given value. However, the rod 12 is free to rotate whenever balls 171, 172 are disengaged from the holes formed in the bracket 11. It is to be understood that the number of holes in the bracket 11 is chosen according to the number of steps to which the resilience of the spring which is imparted to the upper frame 1 should be adjusted.
FIG. 2e shows a modification of locking means in an exploded, perspective view. In this instance, a member 76 which is fixedly connected with the rod 12 is peripherally formed with a plurality of axially extending grooves, and a leaf spring 78 is connected with the bracket 11 in a manner to surround the member 76. The leaf spring 78 is formed with a radially inwardly extending tab which is adapted to engage one of the grooves. Again, the rod 12 cannot be rotated whenever the tab of the leaf spring 78 is engaged with the groove in the bracket 11 unless an angular movement in excess of a given value is applied to the lever 13.
A diagrammatical side elevation of the suspension apparatus shown in FIG. 2b is illustrated in FIG. 2f, to which reference is made to describe the operation of the apparatus. When the lever 13 is turned, the cams 151, 152 which engage the elongate slots in the arms 141, 142 rotate, whereby the ends of the arms 141, 142 which engage the springs 61, 62 move either upwardly or downwardly, thereby increasing or decreasing the distance l1 between these ends and the pivot 9. Representing the distance between the pivots 9, 10 by l2 and the spring load of the springs 61, 62 by F, a momentum of a magnitude F×l1 /l2 acts upwardly upon the upper frame 1. Since the magnitude of F and l2 is constant while the magnitude of l1 changes as the lever rotates, it then follows that the upward force which is applied to the upper frame 1 depends on the angular position of the lever 13. It is unnecessary that a seat occupant departs from his normal position to assume a slouched position as in the prior art practice since it is possible for him to adjust the elevation of the seating surface by turning the lever 13 in either direction while assuming his normal seating position (see FIG. 2a). Such adjustment can be simply achieved since the lever can be rotated through 180°.
FIGS. 3a through 3c are diagrammatic side elevations of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2b, illustrating different operational positions which result in accordance with the weight of the seat occupant. These illustrations correspond to an increasing weight of the seat occupant. In FIG. 3a, the first parallel motion assembly comprising the upper frame 1, lower frame 2, links 3, 4 and pivots 8, 10, 22, 23 as well as the second parallel motion assembly comprising the connecting links 5, lower frame 2, links 3, 4 and pivots 9, 10, 21, 23 both constitute a stabilized parallelogram.
By contrast, in the operating condition illustrated in FIG. 3b, pivots 10, 8, 23 and 22 are aligned substantially on a single line, and hence the first parallel motion assembly cannot form a stabilized parallelogram, resulting in a failure to provide a stabilized support to the seat. However, the second parallel motion assembly forms a stabilized parallelogram which is offset by a given angle from the first assembly, thus providing a stable support to the seat.
In the operating condition illustrated in FIG. 3c, the first parallel motion assembly moves below the horizontal position shown in FIG. 3b, forming a stabilized parallelogram which is substantially symmetrical to that shown in FIG. 3a with respect to a line joining the pivots 10 and 23. In this manner, the seat suspension apparatus provides a stable support to the seat. In this instance, the second parallel motion assembly becomes unstable since the pivots 10, 9, 23, 21 are substantially aligned on a line. However, as mentioned previously, the stable support by the apparatus is assured by the first assembly.
A curved arrow d shown in FIG. 3c indicates an angular extent through which the pivot 22 moves as the weight on the seat varies (from FIG. 3a to FIG. 3c). This angular extent is indicated by θ, and it will be seen that a line joining the pivots 10 and 23 substantially bisects this angular extent. Consequently, the back-and-forth stroke of the upper frame 1 or the seat over such angular extent is indicated by a distance c shown in FIG. 3c, which is minimal. By contrast, in a conventional seat suspension apparatus, seat is provided with a single parallel motion assembly, and a situation must be avoided in which four pivots are substantially aligned on a line as illustrated in FIG. 3b. This requires that an angular extent through which the pivot 22 moves be shifted to a range indicated by a curved arrow e shown in FIG. 3a, for example, thus greatly increasing the back-and-forth stroke b. In addition, the extent of the vertical movement of the upper frame 1 is limited.
In contradistinction thereto, if the back-and-forth stroke b of a magnitude comparable to the prior art arrangement is allowed in the seat suspension apparatus, it is possible to increase the distance between the pivots 22 and 23 or the length of link arms 3, 4, so that the extent of vertical movement can be increased. In addition, assuming a weight W is applied to the upper frame 1, the approximation W≈F×l1 /l2 indicates that an increased value of l2 permits the spring load F to be reduced in inverse proportion to the magnitude of l2 in order to support the same load. This means that springs 61, 62 of a reduced resilience may be used. Alternatively, if the springs of the same quality are used, the value of l1 can be reduced, enabling a further reduction in the height of the suspension apparatus.
From the foregoing description, it will be understood that the invention has provided a seat suspension having a reduced height and which minimizes the back-and-forth stroke.

Berlin-based musician and mass collaborator, Jeff Özdemir, goes for gold. With cinematographic soundscapes, thick bass lines, tangible percussion, eerie keys and charming vocals, his synergetic musician collective treads the boundaries between jazz, Gameboy sounds, chanson, psychedelic desert, soul, minimal, seventies pop, dub, electronic and classical music with a hint of a John Carpenter-esque style to boot.
Jeff Özdemir & Friends refuses to be pigeon-holed into any one decade or genre, transcending these categories without destroying them. Through deep experimentation, Turkish-born multi-instrumentalist Özdemir and his circle of friends have managed to create their own unique sound whilst remaining changeable and varied. Much like the collaborators of the project itself, each song has its own personality drawing from the various corners of the musical universe and joining together to create a new world. The tracks oscillate between Özdemir’s solo-work, to dual collaborations, to group projects and include names such as F.S. Blumm, Elyas Khan, Andrew Pekler, Tigerlily, Elke Brauweiler, Treetop, Amélie Legrand, Sonja Polligkeit, Knarf Rellöm, Benjamin Wild, Désolé Léo, Max Weissenfeldt, Beige GT, and Dizzy from Rotation. Drawing from their creators’ diverse backgrounds the songs incorporate multi-cultural, multi-linguistic elements including French, Japanese, Turkish and Portuguese.
The Jeff Özdemir & Friends double vinyl series on the German label Karaoke Kalk gives you an insight into Özdemir’s world which he centres around his record store, 33rpm Store, in the heart of Berlin Kreuzberg.
It is through this hub that he and his friends join together to discuss, listen to and, of course, make music. So have a peek throughthe window of Jeff Özdemir’s mind and enter into a universe of sound both familiar and entirely new…

Japanese courts have one after another handed down verdicts raising the alarm over the National Diet’s negligence for broadening inequality among voters, after the July House of Councilors election saw a disparity of up to 3.03 times in the value of a vote between the most and least populous constituencies in the country.
A total of 16 lawsuits were filed across Japan over the constitutionality of the July 10 election, and the high courts and their branches that tried the initial hearings of these cases have all reached their verdicts.
Of these, one of the courts ruled that the upper house contest was unconstitutional, while the poll was declared to be in a state of unconstitutionality in eight other cases. In the remaining seven cases, the courts labeled the election constitutional.
In similar lawsuits filed after the previous 2019 upper house election, where the vote disparity was up to three-fold, the courts ruled the election constitutional in 14 cases, and in a state of unconstitutionality in the other two. Considering the narrow gap in the vote-value disparity between the 2019 and 2022 elections, one could say the latest verdicts were harsher than in the previous set of lawsuits.
In the rulings that declared this summer’s upper house poll unconstitutional or in a state of unconstitutionality, the courts viewed it as problematic that no measures had been taken to correct the vote-value disparity since the 2019 election. The ruling and opposition parties failed to reach common ground over the issue during their consultations.
The Osaka High Court pointed out in its ruling that the Diet’s efforts in redressing the vote disparity “have significantly waned,” while the Miyazaki branch of the Fukuoka High Court slammed the legislature for “taking a huge step backward.”
In recent years, it has become the norm for judiciaries to attach heavy weight to endeavors to realize equality in the value of votes to avoid gaps between the number of voters per elected representative.
The Sendai High Court, the only court that ruled the 2022 upper house contest unconstitutional, stressed that vote-weight equality is a fundamental aspect of parliamentary democratic government. It pointed out that the current state where the populations in constituencies with three-fold-plus vote-value disparity account for over 20% of Japan’s total population represents serious inequality.
As Japan continues to face densely populated major cities and depopulation in rural areas, it cannot avoid witnessing further disparity in vote values if the problem with constituencies is left unaddressed.
The Supreme Court has urged for the past decade that the system of using each of Japan’s 47 prefectures as the unit of constituency be reviewed.
As part of efforts to correct the vote-weight disparity, the neighboring prefectural constituencies of Tottori and Shimane, and Tokushima and Kochi, were each merged into single constituencies from the 2016 upper house election.
But as the merger of electoral districts requires consideration of the population size and geographical conditions in affected areas, there are limits to how far the issue can be resolved with this method alone. It is necessary to drastically overhaul the present electoral system.
To that end, we must question anew the role of the upper house itself. Unlike the House of Representatives, the upper house has no dissolution by the prime minister and its members serve a longer term, and it is therefore dubbed “the chamber of careful deliberation.” It is essential to make clear the raison d’etre of the upper house and its role-sharing with the lower chamber.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the constitutionality of the 2022 upper house election as early as next year. Yet the ruling and opposition parties are urged to get their debate into full swing before waiting for the top court decision.

The 313 horsepower Audi S15 TDI is the first S-model Audi with a diesel engine. This video presents the new model in action at the internationally renowned Le Mans race track, demonstrating its capabilities for customers interested in buying or leasing a car.
This vehicle is powered by a 3.0-litre bi-turbo diesel engine, which allows drivers to reach 62 mph from a standing start in only 5.1 seconds, up to a limited top speed of 155 mph for safety. Those who have been waiting for a diesel powered sports utility vehicle from the German manufacturer may also be impressed by the fuel efficiency that’s been achieved with the S15 TDI, which offers 39.2 mpg in combined cycle.
Among the stand-out features of the S15 TDI are its eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission, quattro all-wheel drive mode and sensitive electromechanical power steering to offer exceptional performance, while the new model’s lower ride height and larger wheels give the car a sportier feel. Inside, the car is finished in black with silver headlining as an option and luxury leather upholstery, while the exterior benefits from the aluminium look of a platinum grey grille.
Audi’s new sports model is expected to launch later this year, and could prove to be a popular option among car buyers and renters.

A fragment feature is available albeit rather primitive. It allows for the analysis of the DOS in a fragment basis and for the calculation of the deformation density with respect to fragment densities. A typical application is the periodical adsorption of one or more molecules on a surface. For instance, consider periodic adsorption of hydrogen molecules over a surface. First you calculate the free molecule in the same orientation as when adsorbed to the substrate. Since you would like to use a molecular fragment, it makes sense to put the molecules far apart (large lattice spacing) and force dispersion to be neglected (KSPACE 1). To use the fragment in the next run you need to rename the result file (“rkf”), to something like “frag.rkf”, see the example script discussed below or the example covering this topic.
Fragment AtomMapping # Non-standard block. See details. ... End Filename string Labels # Non-standard block. See details. ... End End
Type: Block Recurring: True Description: Defines a fragment. You can define several fragments for a calculation.
Type: Non-standard block Description: Format ‘indexFragAt indexCurrentAt’. One has to associate the atoms of the fragment to the atoms of the current calculation. So, for each atom of the fragment the indexFragAt has to be associated uniquely to the indexCurrentAt for the current calculation.
Type: String Description: Filename of the fragment. Absolute path or path relative to the executing directory.
Type: Non-standard block Description: This gives the possibility to introduce labels for the fragment orbitals. See examples.
Fragment filename test.rkf AtomMapping 1 3 ! atom 1 of this fragment is assigned to third atom 2 4 ! atom 2 of this fragment is assigned to fourth atom End Labels Sigma Sigma* Pi_x Pi_y Pi_x* Pi_y* End End
In this example the first six fragment orbitals will be labeled as stated in the body of this key. The remaining orbitals are labeled by the default labeling system (e.g. 1/FO/5, etc.). The labels are used in combination with options like
Print Eigens and
Print OrbPop. (See also
Print OrbLabels). This key can be given once for each fragment.
for a calculation produces output concerning the eigen states, thereby providing a means to identify the eigen states (e.g. to be sigma, pi, et cetera). So, one can label the orbitals of a fragment according to this information.


Path-Loss Prediction for an Industrial Indoor Environment Based on Room Electromagnetics
Journal article, Peer reviewed
MetadataVis full innførsel
A simple approach of path-loss and root mean square delay spread prediction for indoor propagation environment is developed based on the room electromagnetics theory. The indoor room environment is interpreted as a lossy cavity, which is characterized by the diffuse scattering components caused by the walls and surrounding obstacles, and a possible line-of-sight component. Simplicity, speed of the algorithm and good accuracy are among the advantages of this approach. To apply the method, it only requires the knowledge of the dimensions of the room and the reverberation time, which can be easily obtained from one measurement of the power-delay-profile in the investigated environment. For experimental validation, path-loss measurements at two different transmission frequencies, and wideband measurements from 0.8 to 2.7 GHz were conducted in two rooms of an industrial environment. The theoretical results from the path-loss and root mean square delay spread prediction algorithm show good match with the measurement results.

The real user is used by SQLMONITOR in order to know who launched a specific SQL sentence. USRMONITOR provides the real user information to SQLMONITOR an other monitors which would need it.
First of all, we need to know which configuration values are in these system variables: QAUDLVL and QAUDCTL. We can do it with the following commands:
In a normal situation where the QAUDJRN object does not exist in QSYS library, the typical value we would find in system variable QAUDCTL is *NONE. And the typical value for the QAUDLVL system value is *AUTFAIL.
After checking these values we can create the QAUDJRN object with its journal receiver objects using the command:
CHGSECAUD QAUDCTL(*AUDLVL *OBJAUD *NOQTEMP) QAUDLVL(*AUTFAIL *SECURITY *SERVICE *CREATE *DELETE *OBJMGT *SAVRST *PGMFAIL)
The only thing you must take into account is not to miss any of the previous values of the system values QAUDCTL and QAUDLVL. That is, if we have any previous value in these system values which are not in the list of values in the CHGSECAUD command above then we need to add these existent values into the command before launching it.
Once the CHGSECAUD command has been executed you must check the QAUDJRN objet in library QSYS. You can do it with the following command:
WRKOBJPDM QSYS QAUDJRN
And now, the USRMONITOR will be ready to be launched.
