A multi-band microstrip antenna comprising a plurality of separate radiat elements which operate at widely separated frequencies from a single common input point. The common input point is fed at all the desired frequencies from a single transmission feed line. A variety of combinations of microstrip elements can be used. The individual radiating elements are each made to look substantially like an open circuit to all other frequencies but the respective frequency at which they are to operate by respective feed point location and dimensioning of the transmission lines from the common input point to the feed points of the separate elements.
1. A multi-band single-feed microstrip antenna system, comprising:
a. a thin ground plane conductor;
b. a plurality of separate thin radiating elements spaced from and electrically separated from said ground plane conductor by a dielectric substrate, one said radiating element for each frequency to be radiated; said respective radiating elements being operable to radiate simultaneously at a different and widely separated frequency from each other, the length dimension of each said respective radiating elements being different and determined by the respective radiation frequency wavelength of each radiating element;
c. each of said radiating elements having a respective feed point thereon;
d. a single common input point;
e. said common input point being fed at all the different respective operating frequencies of said radiating elements;
f. each of said radiating elements having its respective feed connected to said common input point by means of a respective single microstrip transmission line; each one of said radiating elements being matched at its respective operating frequency to the common input point while simultaneously being electrically decoupled from each of the other of said radiating elements through its respective one of said single transmission lines which act as transformation circuits, thus permitting all said radiating elements to be fed simultaneously from said common input point through said respective single transmission lines, the lengths and widths of each of the respective single transmission lines determining the interdependence between each of said respective radiating elements;
g. each respective single microstrip transmission line which connects said common input point with the feed point on its respective one of said radiating elements being dimensioned to minimize the effect that any one of said radiating elements can have on the other of said radiating elements; the dimensions of said respective single transmission lines being varied such that at the operating frequency of each one of said respective radiating elements the input impedance looking toward the other of said radiating elements from said common input point approaches an open circuit, substantially isolating the respective radiating elements from each other while simultaneously being fed at said different respective frequencies from said common input point;
h. any of the length and width dimensions of each of said single transmission lines and the location of the feed point on each of the respective radiating elements being variable to minimize the effects of any one of said radiating elements on any of the other said radiating elements and thus operate to effectively isolate each of said radiating elements from the other of said radiating elements.
2. A multi-band single-feed microstrip antenna system as in claim 1 wherein said radiating elements comprise a combination of various types of both electric and magnetic microstrip radiating elements.
This invention relates to low physical profile antennas and particularly to a multi-band single-feed microstrip antenna system. Various types of microstrip antennas can be used in the present type microstrip system.
For most applications using antennas with very thin substrates, it is extremely difficult to produce antennas that are wide band enough to cover two or more widely spaced frequencies. Normally, a plurality of antennas with a plurality of input connectors are required. It is logistically desirable to have an antenna system to be used at two or more different widely spaced frequencies (e.g., for two or more purposes) using only one input connector.
The present antenna system is intended to allow one microstrip antenna system fed from a single common input point to operate simultaneously at two (or more) different widely separated frequencies.
The multi-band microstrip antenna comprises two (or more) separate microstrip radiating elements which operate at different widely separated frequencies while fed from a single common input point. The common input point is fed at both (two or more) frequencies from a single transmission feed line, and the different elements are connected at their respective feed points to the common input point by respective transmission lines. The individual transmission lines dimensions are varied to minimize or substantially eliminate any effect that one radiating element might have on the other radiating elements.
The several antenna elements and the feed lines can be photo-etched simultaneously. Each dielectric microstrip element consists essentially of a conducting strip called the radiating element and a conducting ground plane separated by a dielectric substrate. The length of each radiating element is approximately one-half wavelength of the respective frequency for electric type microstrip elements, and approximately one-quarter wavelength for magnetic type microstrip elements. The width may be varied depending upon the desired electrical characteristics for the elements. The conducting ground plane is usually much greater in length and width than the area of the radiating elements.
The thickness of the dielectric substrate should be much less than one-fourth the wavelength.
The antenna system hereinafter described can be used in missiles, aircraft and other type applications where a low physical profile antenna is desired. This structure provides an antenna with ruggedness, simplicity, low cost, a low physical profile, and conformal arraying capability about the body of a missile or vehicles where irregular surfaces are used, while giving excellent radiation coverage. The antenna can be mounted over an exterior surface without protruding, and be thin enough not to affect the airfoil or body design of the vehicle. The thickness can be held to an extreme minimum depending upon the bandwidth requirements. Due to its conformability, this antenna assembly can be applied readily as a wrap around band to a missile body without interfering with the aerodynamic design of the missile. The antenna can be fed very easily from the ground plane side.

A preferred embodiment of the multi-band single-feed dual microstrip antenna system comprises two separate microstrip radiating elements 10 and 12 fed by microstrip transmission lines 14 and 15, respectively, from a single common input point 17, as shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b of the drawings. The common input point 17 is fed at two different frequencies from a single microstrip transmission line 18 connected at the common input point 17, as shown, with a coaxial-to-microstrip adapter 20 at end 21 of the transmission line 18. The common input point 17 can be fed directly from a coaxial-to-microstrip adapter, if desired. The microstrip radiating elements 10 and 12 are coplanar and are separated from a ground plane 19 by a dielectric substrate 22.
Radiating elements 10 and 12 can both be notch fed, as shown; or any of end fed, offset fed, coupled fed, corner fed, etc., such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,972,050; 3,978,487; 3,978,488; 4,051,478; 4,069,483; 4,072,951; 4,078,237; 4,095,227; 4,117,489; and 4,197,544 for various microstrip antennas, or a combination of two different types of radiating elements, as shown in FIG. 2a, for example, can be used. If desired, it is possible for more than two radiating elements to be used, such as the three element system shown in FIG. 2b, all at different frequencies provided that the same type techniques discussed below for a two element system are used to minimize the effects each radiating element may have on the other radiating elements.
The lengths A and B and the width of the transmission lines 14 and 15, respectively, from the common input point 17 to respective feed points 23 and 24 of the individual radiating elements 10 and 12, determines the interdependence between each of the radiating elements of the multiband antenna system. The width of a transmission line is selected depending upon the required impedance for the transmission line; once the width is determined the length of the transmission line can be varied to perform the required impedance transformation. For example, the effect that one radiating element could have on the other radiating element can be minimized by choosing proper lengths A and B and a width for transmission lines 14 and 15, respectively.
At the operating frequency of the larger radiating element 10, for example, the input impedance looking toward the smaller element 12 from common input point 17 should approach an open circuit, i.e., a very high impedance. The input impedance to the smaller radiating element 12 can be adjusted to a certain degree for accomplishing this by adjusting the transmission line length and width between the common input point 17 and feedpoint 24 to the smaller radiating element, i.e., varying the length and width of transmission line 15. In essence, this isolates the smaller microstrip radiating element 12 from the common input point 17. While total isolation is almost impossible, sufficient isolation can be obtained in this manner so that one element will operate independently of the other. The converse is also true.
Theoretically complete isolation probably is desired; however, to enhance bandwidth and to facilitate impedance matching there can be some slight interaction between the two radiating elements 10 and 12, since complete isolation usually is difficult. Additionally, test results have shown that, for the most part, slight interactions do not really change the radiation patterns significantly and there are even lesser effects on other electrical characteristics of the radiating elements.
In this antenna system one radiating element is matched while the other radiating element is electrically decoupled through a transformation circuit (i.e, transmission line) in order that both radiating elements can be fed simultaneously from a common input point with a single feed line. The larger radiating element 10 operates at the lower frequencies and the smaller radiating element operates at the higher frequencies.
The smaller radiating element 12 almost always looks like an open circuit to the lower frequencies and therefore the matching problem to isolate the smaller radiating element is not difficult. Usually it is easier to obtain isolation between two radiating elements when the frequencies are not harmonics or subharmonics of one another. However, one does not always have the option of selecting the frequency, and in such cases the higher frequency selected for the smaller radiating element 12 may cause the larger radiating element 12 to be excited in a higher-order mode of excitation. When this occurs, there is a two-fold problem, i.e., the feed point 23 to the larger radiating element must be located so as not to excite the larger radiating element at the higher frequency and at the same time a feed point location must be selected for the larger radiating element 10 such that it will match the common input point at the lower frequency.
There are two ways for doing this. The first is to make the input impedance into element 10 a low impedance by the positioning of the feed point and use a transmission line to transform the impedance at the common input point into an open circuit (i.e., high impedance). The second is to make the input impedance into the element 10 a high impedance and place the feed point of the element at the common input point. Where it is difficult to physically locate the element feed point at the common input point a transformation transmission line can be used to maintain the high impedance (open circuit) level. Teachings as to how one can obtain different impedance levels are shown in the aforementioned U.S. Patents.
If it is desired to resonate only the lower frequency radiating element, the input to the higher frequency radiating element when transformed to the common point must look like a high impedance to the lower frequency; the converse is also true. Transformation (matching) may also be provided by varying both the width and the length of the transmission line between common input point 17 and the feed point on the radiating element. Another way to impedance match at two or more operating frequencies is to permit some small amount of high-order mode of excitation to allow ease in matching at the lower frequencies without greatly affecting the radiation patterns.
While two notch different size fed microstrip elements are shown in FIG. 1a, in FIG. 2a an end fed microstrip element is substituted for radiating element 10 with feed point 22 located at the edge of element 10. This figure merely illustrates how two types of microstrip antennas can be used together in the multi-band single-feed dual microstrip antenna system of the invention; a large variety of combinations can be used to provide various radiation patterns desired. The techniques discussed above are also applicable to antenna systems using more than two radiating elements. As shown in FIG. 2b, three different types and sizes of radiating elements that operate on widely separated frequencies, are used. The combination in FIG. 2b comprises a notched corner fed electric microstrip radiating element 25, an offset fed magnetic microstrip radiating element 26 (which is shorted to the ground plane), and a coupled fed electric microstrip radiating element 27 each connected to and fed from common input point 17, via respective transmission lines 31, 32 and 33. Various combinations of microstrip radiating elements can be used, to provide desired radiation patterns.
FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6 show radiation plots for a typical dual antenna element as shown in FIG. 1a at the lower frequency. FIGS. 3 and 5 are E-plane and H-plane plots, respectively, and FIGS. 4 and 6 are their respective cross polarization plots. These plots show patterns very similar to single element/single mode patterns and no degradation in the gain characteristics.
FIGS. 7, 8, 9 and 10 show radiation plots for the dual antenna element in FIG. 1a, but at the higher frequency. FIGS. 7 and 9 are E-plane and H-plane plots, respectively, and FIGS. 8 and 10 are their respective cross polarization plots. Note that the cross polarization component, shown in FIG. 10, is much higher at the higher frequency band than at the lower frequency band, shown in FIG. 6. As mentioned previously, this is due to a slight excitation of the higher order modes induced in the larger element when operating at the higher frequency. As one can observe from FIG. 6, that although the larger element is somewhat excited at the higher frequency, the predominate excitation occurs in the smaller element at the higher frequencies. Since the patterns are only slightly distorted, much use can be derived from the design configuration in FIG. 1a.
As an example of an intolerable design, FIG. 11 shows an E-plane plot of a dual element where predominantly the larger radiating element is excited at both the lower and the higher frequencies. Here are noted patterns characteristic of excessive higher order mode excitation.
FIGS. 12 and 13 show plots of return loss vs. frequency for the dual antenna element shown in FIG. 1a; FIG. 12 at the lower frequency and FIG. 13 at the higher frequency. The bandwidth as compared to a single element first order mode is only slightly degraded.
Obviously many modifications and variation of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

How to Get Lean: 25 Ways to Lose Fat Faster
Here's the thing about spot reduction: it doesn't exist. Everyone seems to know that trying to spot reduce a specific body part's fat content doesn't work, yet nearly everyone seems to continue to attempt spot reduction. You know that guy you see in the gym banging out 20 sets of 50 crunches each? Yeah, of course you know that guy. He's in nearly every gym. Well, he's pretty much wasting his time. Sure, he's burning a few calories and staying active. But, if he thinks those 1,000 crunches a day are going to make his six-pack come out from hiding inside the cooler of fat he's got there in the mid-section, he's sorely mistaken. Don't waste your precious gym time trying to spot reduce. Use that time, instead, to do some high intensity interval training or mixing up your lifting routine.

GBC Meeting Report 3—February 26th-27th
By Sraddhadevi dasi
ISKCON's 2011 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Governing Body Commission (GBC) continued February 26th and 27th with GBC members separating into committees to discussion specific topics. Some of the committees were Guru Services, GBC-BBT Relations, Parallel Lines of Authority, and the Sannyasa Committee. Regional Governing Bodies, such as the Latin Governing Body and the North American GBCs also convened to discuss issues particular to their geographic area of service.
In most cases, GBC committees discuss and research a specific subject matter, then seek approval from the GBC body on suggestions regarding how to proceed. The primary role of most committees is to assist in educating others on the content of the topic and how it relates to ISKCON and ISKCON's members. To do this, committees may develop seminars, courses, or written documents pertaining to their topic.
For example, the GBC Guru Services committee has introduced educational resources, retreats, and training sessions to assist devotees in their role as a disciple or guru. The committee continues to organize annual Guru Seminars and Retreats, which allow devotees who serve as instructing or initiating gurus to associate with one another and share their experiences. This year the Guru Services committee is also launching a multi-day course for prospective disciples, in attempt to better educate devotees in the qualifications, responsibilities, and roles of both disciples and gurus. The hope is that in the future this will be a standard course for devotees who desire to take initiation within ISKCON.
Committees may also suggest policy or request permission from the GBC body to create and oversee an official system of evaluation. For example, by approval of the GBC body, the Sannyasa committee established a comprehensive evaluation process to guide and approve sannyasa candidates. Such a process helps to clarify for sannyasa candidates the responsibilities and position of a sannyasi, and also creates a support system that aids in strengthening the overall health of the sannyasa ashram within ISKCON.
As for the other committees, the GBC-BBT Relations committee discusses issues specifically related to enhancing communications and cooperation between the GBC and the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (BBT). Furthermore, the Parallel Lines of Authority committee explores the relationship between the authority and directions of various leaders such as gurus, GBCs, and local management, and how these lines of authority can and should cooperatively work together.
Committee work is ongoing throughout the year, and additional committee meetings will be interspersed between plenary sessions throughout the remaining days of the GBC's Annual General Meeting.

text: I do not know of a place off the top of my head that has sheet brass with a hammered finish. The process is done with the round side of a Ball Peen Hammer on an Anvil. I use a 16 oz ball peen that the ball has been polished to a good finish. Any defects in the striking surface will transfer to your hammered piece much in the same way a coin die leaves it's impression. For a hammered finish you don't really have to strike the surface so much as let the hammer fall. A 16 oz is plenty to do the job on brass or other jewelers metals with out adding any extra muscle to it. It is repetitive and tiering and hard on the wrist. A couple things to remember Hammering does thin the metal and stretch it This can be important for some body wanting to make something like a Circlet which can only be a quarter inch wide. for that you would need to cut your blank a little narrower than 1/4 inch and then hammer it so that the final produce will be approximately 1/4 You also need to start with a thick enough metal to make an impression. personally I don't do a hammered finish on anything lighter than 20 gauge and would prefer 18 or heavier. Happy hammering Darius > >"willowdewisp at juno.com" <willowdewisp at juno.com> wrote: > I am sorry about asking this question in over the list. >Do any of you know if I can buy 3/4 to 1 inch hammered brass by the foot somewhere? >also how to you hammer brass.

Yiddish newspaper remains a leader for Jewish people
Date: January 20, 2010
by: Dora Walters | Senior Editor
The Jewish Forward has been published for 112 years — and will likely be around for at least 100 more.
Publisher Sam Norich spoke to Temple Beth Israel Men's Club members and guests Jan. 18, at the temple, and pledged the paper will continue for another century. He made the promise, despite the fact that the newspaper hasn't made a profit since 1944.
The Yiddish newspaper was founded by Abraham Graham in 1897, and circulation grew rapidly with the growth of the Yiddish-speaking population of America.
Norich said Graham's focus was on the Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe.
"The paper taught them how, as a group, to navigate in America," Norich said. "It taught them how to get a job, taught them about baseball and taught them that culture was as important as politics."
By the 1920s, the paper was a political force in New York City and in the state. It was a leading metropolitan daily with a circulation of 275,000 nationwide.
Circulation dropped sharply in 1939, when a change in immigration policy restricted the immigration of Jews.
The drop in circulation continued and by 1962 was less than 60,000 for both the daily and Sunday editions. In 1983, The Forward became a weekly publication.
But one thing has not changed over the years — the paper's adherence to quality.
"We have maintained our high standard of journalism," Norich said. "The Forward was established as an independent — never a mouthpiece — and continues to be."
Norich has been publisher of The Forward since 1997.

Warning: This article contains hypnotic twerking, booty-popping and sexy back-arching.
Shocking crowds with their steamy performance of 'Booty' at the 2014 American Music Awards, Jennifer Lopez proved her butt was best by sitting on Iggy Azalea's voluptuous rump … which is much more impressive than resting a champagne flute on your butt, Kim Kardashian. Check out that bootylicious moment above…
The pair's 'Partition'-inspired grind comes just hours after TMZ revealed the strict guidelines artists had to adhere to at this year's awards.
According to sources, JLo and Iggy were not allowed to show their "cracks" while on stage, with absolutely "no rubbing" or "spanking" allowed after Miley Cyrus' controversial twerk at the MTV VMAs last year.
Yep, we're glad the girls didn't stick to the rules.

You had one job, Kylie Jenner…
The 17-year-old fumbled over her words at the 2014 American Music Awards… one second after mocking sister Kendall's autocue fail from the Billboard Awards in May. Awkward! Watch the video above and squirm.
Kendall and Kylie, along with older half-sister Khloe Kardashian, presented the Favourite Pop/Rock Female to Katy Perry, who accepted the award via satellite from Australia.
Check out Kendall's original Billboards line flub below, introducing One Dir- whoops, we mean, 5 Seconds of Summer.
The Kardashian-Jenner girls had better luck on the AMAs red carpet, bringing plenty of va-va-voom with risky thigh-splits and even a touch of side-boob.

A problem?Ask a question
Nowadays, creating music no longer depends on musical instruments; computer and software are required. FL Studio 11 is a program for creating electronic music.
Key FeaturesFL Studio 11 allows you to create electronic music depending on the inspiration of the musician. FL Studio just gives the necessary information for the user to be able to create his own music and that, without musical instruments (guitar, piano ...). It also allows beat slicing, pitch shifting, audio editing and chopping. The software can work with several formats to make sure that users can share, play and use the creation at any time and on any device. The audio can be exported or imported into several formats such as WAV, OGG, MIDI, ZIP, MP3 or .FLP.The software includes five windows that are all accessible by buttons in the toolbar. These windows work together with FL Studio so as to assist the user in creating his music with ease.

We're minding our P's and Q's as we look at manners this week. Here's what's coming up:
When you're being mugged, what do you do? If you're a nice Midwestern guy like Ryan Paulson, you help him out as much as you can. He'll explain how being polite got him out of that tricky situation.
Sook-Yin will take her mic to the street to find out when being polite helped you out.
Manners can help you out where you least expect it. Like prison, for example. Michael Van Rooy, author of Your Friendly Neighbourhood Criminal, will explain why.
According to former restaurant waiter Steve Dublanica, 80 per cent of restaurant customers are decent people just looking for something to eat. And the other 20 per cent? A bit less decent. We'll here from the man behind The Waiter Rant on civility in restaurants.
Ex-waitress Trish Cooper will tell us why she still remembers the one customer who was an oasis in a sea of bad manners.
Every part of the world has different rules of etiquette, and it's always good to learn what those rules are. Especially if your job involves mingling with gun-toting warlords. That's what Globe and Mail reporter Graeme Smith found out when his newspaper sent him to Afghanistan.
At what point does confronting rudeness become rude? Clare Lawlor looks into "etiquette vigilantism."
One person's rudeness is another person's way of life. What do you do that other people think is rude? Sook-Yin will find out.
Are we really getting ruder? No better person to ask than the great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post. Anna Post, author of the What Would Emily Post Do? blog, will weigh in.
Cutting a business deal always requires some delicate rules of etiquette -- but those rules can be very different, depending on where the negotiations are happening. When the late Izzy Asper was the king of Canwest Global and the National Post, he was used to wheeling and dealing inside fancy boardrooms. Then one day, he found himself doing a deal on a street in India. His son David will tell us the story of the billionaire and the street vendor.
What is the one biggest rule of band etiquette? We'll find out when Two Hours Traffic comes by the DNTO studio to chat and play us a tune.
We'll announce the winners of last week's one-time-only return of our "Lost In Translation" contest.
Is it bad manners... or cultural diversity? Sook-Yin will talk with etiquette expert Norine Dresser about minding your manners in a multicultural world.
And here's this week's music playlist:
Sublime - "Santeria"
The Specials - "A Message To You, Rudy"
JP Hoe - "Nicest"
Digging Roots - "Bring the Water"
Silversun Pickups - "Little Lover's So Polite"

Writing of A. C. Doyle's The Sign of Four, Leslie Haynsworth argues that "imperial problems are not merely felt by those who have imperial experience--they can also sow the seeds of domestic turmoil."1 This troubling interplay between imperial conquest and domestic trauma has been at the core of Lloyd Shepherd's historical-cum-Gothic novels about Constable Charles Horton, a proto-modern detective in early nineteenth-century England who keeps finding the aftershocks of empire on his own beat. In Shepherd's novels, characters who reap the spoils of colonial adventure bring back other things to the English metropolis, usually as a form of indigenous vengeance. And yet, the violence that results is not "other" to the English character, merely enabled and released by those whom the English sought to exploit. In effect, the empire inadvertently devours itself. Savage Magic, the most recent entry in the series, founds its plot on the cycle of exile and return faced by the men and women who went to Australia, either willingly or not. Unlike the earlier novels, however, Savage Magic spends much more time on structures of exploitation within England itself--especially the oppression of women.
Savage Magic is told from several points of view, from that of Horton's wife Abigail, who has consigned herself to an insane asylum, Brooke House,after the events of the previous novel, to that of Dr. Bryson, the head of the asylum, who decades later writes up a scientific narrative of the strange events that took place in 1814. (As we quickly realize, Bryson is, to say the least, unreliable.) Its plot is influenced by (but does not follow) Mary Wollstonecraft's fragmentary novel Maria; Or, the Wrongs of Woman: Maria Cranfield, a deeply disturbed young woman in the asylum, turns out to be somehow connected to the serial murders of "the Sybarites," hedonistic (and sadistic) upper-class gentlemen whose tastes ape those of the eighteenth-century Hell-Fire Club. Maria had been left unexpectedly penniless by the death of her foster parents and, driven to prostitute herself, was raped (and impregnated) by multiple Sybarites. Her mother, the mysterious Maggie Broad, had conceived Maria before going to Australia, where, forced to marry a worthless husband, she nevertheless prospered by learning farming lore (and other types of lore) from the Aborigines; now back in England, Maggie seeks to avenge her daughter. But how, exactly, does she do it? Meanwhile, Horton investigates a series of bizarre events at Thorpe Lee House in the countryside, where something or someone appears to be driving the residents mad--perhaps murderously so. Country and city horrors turn out, in the end, to be connected: the novel vibrates between Brooke House and Thorpe Lee House, two spaces that ought to be distinct and yet turn out to both embody the dysfunctions of England at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
Like the other novels in the series, Savage Magic's plot suggests a tension between the "disenchanted" world of post-Enlightenment, post-Reformation Protestant England and the "enchanted" world of both non-Western peoples and, in this case, folk traditions. As the Rev. John Leigh-Bennett (one of the historical characters) warns Horton, in rural areas, "[t]hey believe in witches and fairies, in spiritualists and fortune-tellers, in cunning-folk and sorcerers. It's a day-to-day fact of life to them" (96). An irate Horton later declares that witches cannot exist because "[t]here is a law" (273), and his belief that the power of the state can simply override folk practices highlights the irresolvable gap between two very different forms of thinking. But Horton's insistence that modernity is very much marked by a "decline of magic," as Keith Thomas so famously put it, leaves him facing an England that does not make any temporal sense--is the country as "now" as the city? What about the colonial peripheries? (Johannes Fabian's Time and the Other comes to mind.) From the opposite end, Horton's superior, Aaron Graham (another real person), who does believe in supernatural powers at work, sees the possibility of weaponizing Maggie's and Maria's mesmeric abilities, of turning magic to the needs of the state. Graham, in a sense, wishes to colonize the supernatural as well as the natural realms. While this novel, like the others in this series, associates the supernatural with resistance (national, sexual, class-related, and so on), it also suggests that such magical forces are neither easily contained nor, necessarily, politically aligned.
Graham's sense of this super-mesmerism's political potential turns out to be just one more turn of the screw of the novel's larger interest in systems of surveillance, confinement, and crowd control. This series is, after all, an alternate history of the police (who stand in opposition to the self-imposed, albeit also potentially dangerous, local remedies of "rough music" and worse). Bryson's proto-Freudian experiments at Brooke House, for example, are based on the work of Dr. Willis, George III's famous physician, who "achieved his success by asserting his will over his patient" (128). But Bryson complains that women resist his treatment, and the only successful mesmerists in the novel are women like Maggie and Maria, who can not only influence others, but actually rewrite their memories. It's no wonder that Graham becomes fascinated by Maria's possibilities--her disruptive behavior could easily be turned into total mind control. Or, to put it differently, the subversive, properly "trained," might become something very different. Similarly, both Graham and Bryson are obsessed by the need to control what Bryson calls "a kind of perversion of moral sense which is visible wherever one looks" (130)--a perversion that, for Bryson, culminates in the spectacle of prostitution. Graham, more conscious of the financial imperatives driving women to commodify their own bodies, thinks that "tolerat[ing]" the prostitutes is "the only possible balance left to the chaotic, disordered mechanism that is London law and order" (180). Both men take a "conservative" position--Bryson in terms of morality, Graham in terms of maintaining the stability of the social order. Neither one is particularly interested in ameliorating the underlying conditions that give rise to prostitution in the first place.
The trade in female bodies turns out to be one of the novel's dominant figures for oppression. Women going out to Australia become sexual chattel for the sailors; women in Bryson's asylum become experimental subjects; women in London are part of an "illicit trade" (316) that shadows the licit capitalism at work everywhere else. The sadistic justice meted out to the Sybarites, sometimes to the point of literal emasculation, strikes back on the basis of both gender and class--the upper-class men who exploit their social and sexual "inferiors" find themselves destroyed by their own victims. But, as in the other novels, the violence ultimately spends itself: once Maria has been avenged, the serial killings come to a halt. Brutal resistance, if not quite futile, spends itself and dies; the social order, minus a few of its members, remains sturdily intact. The ghost of Mary Wollstonecraft, however, suggests other forces at work.

In November of 2009, I was making plans with my dear friend Garrett to travel back to Fiji to start a humanitarian project in the village of Nakavika. To this day, I have yet to accurately verbalize how truly life-changing that trip was. Since returning home from that trip, I've been working steadily in a global context, unable to dedicate the necessary time to help the project flourish again. It has been especially hard to make anything – even simple communication – happen from afar with a community that is not Internet-connected.
Five years later, I'm making similar travel plans, but this time, my goals are much simpler. Next month, I am traveling back to Fiji with the intent to reconnect with Nakavika and gain some perspective on our time there, five years later.
Recalling and reliving a dream
I've been living in Auckland, New Zealand for the past two months, continuing my work with THINK Global School. New developments at work have incorporated leisure time for employees to travel within the school term. I haven't had the opportunity to visit since February 2010, but thanks to the proximity, cost, and flexibility with work, that return to Nakavika is finally possible. Read More

Future of Nursing Initiative
FRIDAY, Nov. 30 (HealthDay News) -- For obese men, supplementation with resveratrol, a compound found in red wine, is not associated with improvements in insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, or body composition, according to a study published online Nov. 28 in Diabetes.
Noting that, in animal and in vitro studies, resveratrol reverts metabolic risk factors, Morten M. Poulsen, M.D., from the Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark, and colleagues randomly assigned 24 obese but otherwise healthy men to four weeks of resveratrol or placebo treatment. Before and after treatment, metabolic assessments, including glucose turnover and insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp), were performed.
The researchers found that, in both groups, there was a nonsignificant deterioration in insulin sensitivity. There was no change in endogenous glucose production or the turnover and oxidation rates of glucose. There was also no effect of resveratrol supplementation on blood pressure; resting energy expenditure; lipid oxidation rates; ectopic or visceral fat content; or inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers.
"The lack of effect disagrees with persuasive data obtained from rodent models and raises doubt about the justification of resveratrol as a human nutritional supplement in metabolic disorders," the authors write.
The study was partially funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

America's decade-long hysteria since 9/11 has taken on some characteristics of the European witch hunts of 500 years ago, with incineration of targets after a sham "due process," albeit now with Hellfire missiles from the air not stake-burnings on the ground, as Mary Beaudoin explains.
NPR Ousts Producer Over 'Occupy DC'
For years now, U.S. "public broadcasting" has run scared from right-wing attacks and Republican funding cuts. So, NPR and PBS lard on more right-wing pundits, while purging any sign of liberal dissent as just happened with a producer of an opera show who joined "Occupy DC" protests, David Swanson reports.
Rick Perry's Revolutionary War 'History'
Exclusive: The stupidity of the Republican presidential field seems to know no bounds, with Gov. Rick Perry's putting the American Revolution in the 1500s and joining Rep. Michele Bachmann and the Tea Party in messing up the history of the nation's founding, notes Robert Parry.
The Never-ending Terror Threat
For a decade now, the American people have been told that only a "long war" against Islamist extremism can keep them safe from terrorism, even at the cost of trillions of dollars and loss of their liberties. Not even the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden changed the tune, says Ivan Eland.
Washington Protest Stays Put
Across the United States, the 99 Percent Movement is occupying more and more parks to protest America's growing economic inequality. In Washington DC, activist Kevin Zeese reports on the protest at Freedom Plaza near the Treasury building.
The Moral Imperative of 'Activism'
Exclusive: On Sept. 18, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern gave a talk about "activism" to a conference in Charlottesville, Virginia, focused on the need to confront the military industrial complex. Now, as the occupation of Freedom Plaza in Washington gets underway, his words take on a special resonance.
Reagan's 'Greed Is Good' Folly
Exclusive: For three decades, the United States has undertaken an extraordinary social experiment, incentivizing greed among the richest Americans by cutting their top tax rates in half or more. The results are now in from Ronald Reagan's bold gamble and Robert Parry says they aren't good.
'Sarah's Key': Enforcing Injustice
As the Occupy Wall Street and other populist protests grow, the role of police – in either allowing dissent or crushing it – will be at center stage. In that regard, Gary G. Kohls sees valuable lessons from the Holocaust drama, "Sarah's Key."
The Slippery Slope of Assassinations
With the assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen and al-Qaeda associate based in Yemen, the Obama administration has stepped onto a slippery slope where loosening standards for extrajudicial killings could slide into a terrifying use of government power, the Independent Institute's Ivan Eland writes.
Would the Founders Back Health Law?
Exclusive: President Barack Obama's health care law is heading to the rightist-dominated U.S. Supreme Court which may render a decision during the heat of Campaign 2012. Some Republican jurists are sure to claim that the law violates the "originalist" thinking of the Founders, but Robert Parry offers a differing view.

Duo runs N.Y. marathon despite race cancellation Marathon
LANCASTER The Cannon-Bell family has an affinity for the Michael J. Fox Foundation and its work for Parkinson's research. Last April, at the annual Team Fox awards banquet, Stephanie Cannon decided to run the New York Marathon for the foundation.
"I was running a mile or two at the time and didn't really think about ever running a marathon," she said. She and her father ran together years before, when Stephanie was 13.
"She ran up to six miles, but then her back started hurting her so she stopped training," John Cannon said.
But Stephanie found new inspiration at the banquet.
"After hearing examples of all the great Parkinson's research by the Michael J. Fox Foundation and all the stories from people with Parkinson's who ran the marathon during 2011, I felt that I needed to do it in memory of my grandfather, Bob Bell, who had Parkinson's, and (aunt) Gail Nanof, who also has it and was at the banquet with us," she said.
Her father John said he was "very surprised to hear Stephanie say she wanted to run the marathon because she never expressed an interest, however, I knew that she could do it so I said I would do it with her. I would have regretted it for many years if I passed up the opportunity to cross the finish line with her. I guess you could say that it suddenly became a bucket list item."
John had run a couple of marathons many years ago, but never planned to run another until his daughter inspired him. It would be Stephanie's first.
The foundation was enough of an inspiration to get them both on the road.
"Team Fox and the Michael J. Fox Foundation are the leading organization in the mission to cure Parkinson's disease," John said. "We watched Bob Bell, Stephanie's grandfather and my father-in-law, as well as my Uncle Frank Marhefka, struggle with it and now Gail, Frank's daughter, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's and she is a bundle of inspiration. She (Gail) has ridden her bike 30 miles for two years in a row in the New England Parkinson's ride, along with organizing fundraising trips to Mohegan Sun as well as fundraisers at the Spillway. She puts so much energy into raising funds for this cause that you can't help wanting to work with her."
John said he and his daughter couldn't have trained without the help of Central Mass. Physical Therapy and Dr. John Mitchell.
"We both developed problems with severe pains in our legs from the heavy training and these professionals helped us dramatically," John said. "Central Mass. Physical Therapy also helped us develop a running program that allowed us to heal injuries and still build the necessary strength. It is wonderful to have these great professionals in the local area."
The duo started training right after the April awards banquet.
"It was a long hot and humid summer, which made the long runs very difficult. We had to carry water and find places along the route to get drinks," John said. "One day, I had to stop at the Lancaster Police Station to ask for water or I don't think I could have made it home. They were great and came right out with a cold bottle of water and Officer Doug DeCesare said he was going to drive by to make sure I was doing OK. I don't think water ever tasted so good and it was a great feeling to know that the Lancaster Police were watching out for me."
What kept them running?
"That is simple. We were not running for ourselves. We were running in memory and support of special people," John said. "Stephanie wore her grandfather's Celtic cross and I wore his onyx ring and we knew Gail was waiting for us at the finish line. We want a cure for Parkinson's and we know that the Michael J. Fox Foundation can do it. I seem to hear about new Parkinson's patients each week. I was telling a man with Parkinson's the other day about the marathon and how we running for Team Fox. He was telling me how he had new medication that was helping him greatly. He looked at me and said 'All I can say is thank you, I wouldn't get medication like this if it weren't for people like you.' Statements like that keep you going when the training gets tough."
Hurricane Sandy, and the destruction it brought on New York, led to the marathon's cancellation. The mayor of New York City originally said the race would go on, for the tourism dollars it would bring into hard-hit areas, but canceled it after people complained that the hotel rooms the runners would need were being used by those who still had no power or heat in their homes.
Hearing about the cancellation brought "a mix of emotions," John said.
"We both wanted to be at that starting line to finish the goal we trained for all summer and we felt obligated to the generous people who supported our efforts, but not at the expense of the people of New York who were struggling with survival and getting their basic necessities," John said. "It was also a little scary when we heard how upset people were becoming with the runners. I guess you could say that we were disappointed, but relieved.
John said he missed being part of the marathon, "but there is always next year and hopefully the city will be completely back to normal."
So John and Stephanie decided that, on the Sunday after Halloween, the day the marathon was scheduled, they would run their own marathon, called the Family Ties Marathon, through seven towns near the Wachusett Reservoir. Friends and family – and residents who just heard about the race – came out to cheer them on.
"The cheering was very special because it was mostly friends and family who came out to support us," he said. "My wife, Maureen, and daughter, Jacqueline, met us every four miles with food and water, plus Jacqueline made inspirational signs for us at each stop. My niece, Jessica Rebokis, and her friend, Matt, met us at about the 12-mile point, cheered for us and played 'Eye of the Tiger.' I think they were pretty sick of that song by the time it was over.
"There was a large cheering section at the (Flat Penny) in Berlin and at Gail's mother's house on Berlin Street. We also had others along the course, plus people honking their horns for us," John said. "We had one group of bicyclists who realized what we were doing and started cheering loudly for us. Then there was a finish line created at Gail's house along with many supporters and a feast. We didn't feel any pain once we turned the corner and saw everyone."
Running that long was different now than when he was younger, John said.
"I never imagined I would be running a marathon again and certainly not during the year when I turned 50," he said. "Marathons during my younger years were about speed and how fast I could run. This marathon was all about pride as I watched Stephanie work so hard in memory of her grandfather. She asked me in April if I would help her train, so my focus was on helping her. We were in this together and I will never forget the experience even though it wasn't New York."
It was also very special because the duo is part of the Family Ties Team.
"We had 22 riders in the New England Parkinson's ride in September, where I also rode my bike 50 miles," he said. "My daughter Jacqueline and wife Maureen rode 30 miles with Gail. This is a very important cause, so we try to be role models for our children so they can see that you can do anything you want if you set your mind to it. I do have to say that it feels great now that we have finished and especially with all the exposure Team Fox is receiving because we are doing this."
John and Stephanie plan to run the 2013 New York City Marathon.
"We still planning to be at the starting line in New York for the marathon next year if they decide to give us automatic entry," John said. "We are also signed to run in the Philip J. Weihn Turkey Chase 5K on Thanksgiving (in Clinton)."
But the memory of the Wachusett "personal" marathon will live on.
"It was fantastic having so many friends and family members involved. It was special seeing Maureen and Jacqueline all along the way.
