White Tea
White Tea Renowned for their delicate aroma and their refreshing properties, white teas are a specialty of Fujian Province, which is divided into three main regions: Fuding, Zhenghe and Jianyang. Now, however; several estates in Darjeeling are producing white teas, and this trend seems to be spreading to other countries. Traditionally produced from precious harvests that last only a very short time (about two weeks) in the spring, white teas were once reserved exclusively for emperors and other high-ranking officials. These teas are the most minimally processed of all. White teas are usually divided into two types: those made only from downy buds (such as Yin Zhen and silver needles) and those made from a mixture of buds and leaves (such as Bai Mu Dan and Shou Mei).They are processed in two main stages, withering and sorting. WITHERING During the withering stage the leaves are simply spread out over bamboo racks. Depending on outside conditions, the leaves will be left to air-dry on the racks for 12 to 24 hours. To speed up the drying process, fans of different intensities are sometimes used to increase air circulation. In larger-scale production settings, a leaf-drying machine is used for the withering stage. SORTING This next stage consists of picking out broken leaves and other undesirable residue so only the whole buds and leaves are preserved. Sorting is often carried out using sieves of varying sizes, and branches are removed by hand Sorting can also be done mechanically. FIRING Traditionally, leaves for white teas are not fired. However, certain lower-quality teas of the Mu Dan variety are subjected to oxidation or high-temperature drying, which changes their taste and appearance. White tea was originally named after the tiny white or silver hairs that cover the bud as it develops at the tip of each tea shoot. Originally only made in China from two varieties of the tea plant (Shui Hsien or Water Sprite, and Da Bai or Big White), white teas are now being produced in other parts of the world using other varietals. And, although some white teas are made from only the new leaf bud (gathered before it starts to unfurl), other white teas are made from the new bud and one or two young open leaves or just from the open leaves, so don't be surprised to find other white teas made in other countries that look quite different from Yin Zhen Silver Needles. With the bud-style white teas, the size of the buds can vary from sturdy buds that measure up to almost 2.5cm (lin) in length, to much smaller, thinner and more wiry buds. In the same way, the size of the open leaf variety depends on the bush varietal used. Once the new buds and baby leaves have been carefully gathered, they are dried in the sun or in a warm, drying room. When brewed they give a very pale, champagne-coloured liquor that has a very light, soft, sweet, velvety flavour. The antioxidant levels are said to be higher than in other types of tea. The white tea is a slightly-fermented tea. It derives its name from the white hairs on its surface. It is mainly produced in Fuding, Zhenghe, Songxi, and Jianyang of Fujian Province. The finished white tea has green leaves and red veins covered with white hairs. The brewed tea leaves are complete. They fully open up in the water and are covered with many hairs. The tea soup has a light color and a mellow aroma. Sometimes, the first brewing has no color. The white tea requires the simplest processing procedure and is often referred to as the tea made by lazy producers. It goes through only two procedures: withering and drying. Of them, withering is the key. It has strict three-white requirements on fresh leaves: the tender bud and two tender leaves should be covered with white hairs. Major white tea varieties include White-tipped Yinzhen, Baimudan (White Peony), and Gongmei. To drink white tea is to drink the essence of a leaf that never really knew the light of day, that was plucked before the bud could fully open. Named for the silver fuzz that turns pale on drying, white tea, by virtue of its youth, is spared the fires that older leaves are subjected to, and is but briefly steamed. The result is an ethereal brew with a tantalizing silky texture, and none of the aftertaste present in green tea. Also, white tea's health quotient is fast gaining a reputation for being greater than green tea's. Alas, the inevitable catch: white tea is quite often significantly more expensive than others. The special quality and flavor of these white tea is brought from its special growth place, the breed and processing method which makes it natural and elegant outside and tastes sweet and refreshing. Tea Set Suitable for Brewing the White Tea The natural and unsophisticated ceramic tea set, stone tea set, and wooden tea set are suitable for brewing the white tea. The luxurious utensils should be avoided. In addition, the white-tipped silver tip tea can be brewed with glass utensils for shape appreciation. The best is the tube-shaped transparent glass without any pattern on it. Such glass guarantees a clear view of the tea's shape, color, and endless change from different angles. However, glass tea set will compromise tea taste to certain extent.

Measurement of a Quantum State of a Single Molecule Magnet with Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy
Abstract:A single molecule magnet (SMM) is one of the possible candidates for quantum information processing. In this paper, we analyze the spin dynamics of a SMM in the presence of anisotropic field. We propose the measurement of a SMM quantum state with magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). An analytical expression for the MRFM signal produced by the SMM is obtained.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

I'm 5 pages behind. We lost the internet connection just as I was about to send my comment last night. Thanks for all of your pictures and comments, especially the happy piglet. I "fell into" cataddictsanona-mouse. Thanks for introducing me to it, booklover. Love that "getting the paw" video too. I enjoy having cats empowered with "no means no". It's one way we show our love.
I have a question about "had". Kennedy said "I had a member of my family killed ... " and I hear it very often.
Robert Kennedy's Speech on MLK Assassination at 2:10 minutes
It is my pet peeve.
Steph, sk8eycat -- Ruth and a few others of us are discussing the general "decline in writing accuracy" over in Linguaphiles & Sesquipedalians.
One of the mistakes she found was in the news: "It is original from the Andean area of South Africa and widely grown in ... the south Mexico, especially Ecuador."
(That's a great glaring subtitle for "Eat, Ray, Love"! Doesn't anyone proofread magazine covers anymore?)
Watched one of my favorite movies yesterday, and noticed Johnny Depp used a line from a song that we were just talking about, "Good Morning Starshine"

Sub-Saharan Africa Karen Marks, Alyson Liang, Karen Huang, Sharon Lo, Nancy Huang, Shengjie Jin
Mankind's Start - Early Civilizations Lucy-Australopithecus 9 million years ago Hunter-gatherers settling down o domestication and pastoralization (9000BCE) Various ethnic groups emerging at same time Bantu Migration: (3000BCE) o started out near the Niger River o large population needed more land and food, o can't go north to Sahara o continued on for centuries o eventually settled in the South East and interacted with Arabs to form the Swahili Coast
Berbers: (3000bc) Amazigh:free o Sub-Saharan, west of Nile Valley o resided in Morocco and other countries o crossed the desert on camels o traded with Muslim merchants through Egypt and and converted to Islam o language groups rather than ethnic tribes class structure: merchants > workers Sedentary agricultural society o fortified villages in the mountain and desert ranges Early Civilizations (cont.)
Kushite(aka Kush aka Nubia) began around 800 BC: along Nile River, south of Egypt with the capital at Meroe o in the tropical region: depend on rain not the unpredictable Nile floods o Land of Gold: gold mines, ivory, and iron ores o made weapons, agricultural tools from the imported bronze form Egypt o trade in the Mediterranean and Red Sea with Middle East o influenced by Egypt, polytheistic with pyramids o conquered by Egypt, conquers Egypt, kicked out by Assyrians, conquered by Aksum(Axum)
Aksum(aka Axum) Aksum(Axum 50BC): modern Ethiopia o flourishing trade and wealth- Mediterranean o East Asia, India, Persia Rome(Byzantine) o slaves, gold, salt, iron, ivory, exotic animals, wheat, silk, spices o COINS-currency, showed the cross(first major empire to convert to Christianity) Aksum had obelisks and stelae that were very large stone structures took in the declining Kuchite
Aksum Stelae Kushite Pyramid
TRADE -Horn of Africa(Ethiopa, Somali), Sao TRADE value of good was relatively the same: a lot of $$ need suppplies->trade->interaction->culture/religion silent barter->ethnic and language barriers Islam spread to corners of Africa: positive and accepting of everyone which made it popular slave trade was large contributor to wealth -debt, oppression, military slavery, not only Africans helped relations with Europe and Roman Empire strength of empire was based on control of trade more so than on the amount of products camel caravans->roads and plazas
The Nok Originated in a valley in West Africa between the Niger and the Benve Rivers in 1000BC There were life size sculptures made of terra cotta or fired clay to resemble the individual they worshipped Many were only elongated heads, possibly because of erosion Worshipped many gods and ancestors Nok people lived in farming communities. They made iron weapons and tools for farming and also produced fine terracotta sculptures. Discovered iron by heating certain rocks to smelt iron. Mysteriously declined in 200AD
Carthage Founded by the Phoenicians in 814 BC; used as a trading post; first settlers were from Tyre Its main rivals for economic power were the Greeks of Sicily until Rome invaded after Carthage gained control of Sicily. Constant warfare for more than a century from 409BC between Carthage and Greece for control of Sicily. By 275BC, Carthaginians gained control of Sicily. This led the Romans to build 330 navy ships, starting the 1 st Punic War (264BC-241 BC) In the Battle of Mylae in 260BC, the Romans won by using the corvus which was a military boarding device that could be attached to another ship. Soldiers then walked onto the other boat to make it seem like a land battle. The Mercenary War (241-237 BCE) - The Carthaginian army of mercenaries demanded the payment Carthage owed them, but Carthage was in a huge amount of debt due to war. General Hamilcar Barca managed to help Carthage win. The 2 nd Punic War( 218BC – 201BC) started when General Hannibal from Carthage attacked the city of Saguntum, an ally of Rome. Hannibal led his army and elephants across the Alps to Italy, but Scipio Aemilianus invaded Carthage, forcing Hannibal to go back home.
Carthage (cont'd) 202 BC- Hannibal was defeated by the Roman general Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama, in North Africa Carthage lost all political and military power by the end of the 2 nd Punic War Carthage got rich again from commanding the trade route from eastern to western part of Mediterranean Third Punic War (149BC)- Carthage refused to be dismantled, causing the Romans to besiege Carthage for three years. Carthage refused to give up and produced weapons and armory to hold back Romans. They turned every house, temple, and building into strongholds 146 BC: Romans broke through and sacked the city. The 50,000 survivors were sold into slavery, and the city burned for 17 days. Salt was supposedly spread ritually to ensure that nothing could grow there ever again. Julius Caesar proposed and planned the re-building of Carthage. Carthage rose again five years after he died. Carthage became the center trading post again and remained an important Roman colony. Christianity spread. Carthage finally fell in 698 CE when the Muslims defeated the Byzantine Empire, then proceeded to destroy Carthage completely.
Ghana Ghana rose to power in around 300AD in West Africa between the Niger and Senegal Rivers Economy was based on trade Became wealthy by collecting taxes from merchant caravans that passed through their territory and exporting gold and salt. Used iron to create weapons to attack neighbors Kings in Ghana were referred to as the Ghana, similar to how an Egyptian King was considered the Pharaoh.
Religion People started to convert to Islam because it was beneficial for trade. It improved connections with other Arab states. People became more literate because belief in Islam required you to learn the Quran Since all Muslims spoke the language of the Quran, Arabic became the common language of the language of the merchants and traders of West Africa. Strict Muslims all follow Islamic law. It is easier to solve disputes when both parties agree on the laws. Conversion to Islam opened up markets across North Africa and in Arabia. The Berbers of North Africa were the first people to travel across the Sasahara Desert. Through trading, the Berbers converted many of the merchants from West Africa to Islam. However, most of the common people continued with their traditional beliefs. Just like the Native Americans and the Sumerians, the West Africans were polytheistic. They believed in more than one God and therefore did not accept how the Muslims believed in only one God.
Trade The civilizations that were successful in ancient West Africa depended on trade. Good leaders were conciliators who tried to bring peace instead of warriors. Starting from the 7 th century, caravans from North Africa crossed the Sahara for trade. In West Africa, salt was an important item in trade. Gold from West Africa was exchanged for salt because salt could be used for retaining body moisture, flavoring, and helped preserve food.
Mali Empire(1200-1500) The exiled prince, Sundiata Keita, revolted against the Soso king, Sumanguru Kante, and continued to conquer other states which marked the start of the Mali empire. The empire's wealth was mostly based off of trade with trading areas in upper Niger. The empire took advantage of the land they controlled with the gold mines of West Africa and the floodplain of the Niger River. The empire was at its height in 1350 o ruled over 400 cities of different ethnicities with the total population reaching about 20 million o Malian army contained about 100,000 men including 10,000 cavalry o trade centered in Timbuktu, Djenne, and Gao
Mali Empire cont. Only the emperor, also known as the mansa, had the right to tax trade and to decide laws. The most famous emperor of the Mali empire is Mansa Kankan Musa who ruled from 1312 to 1337. o Between 1324 and 1325, he went on a pilgrimage to Mecca while bring thousands of followers and hundreds of camels carrying gold. This pilgrimage made Mali known throughout the world as well as decreasing the value of gold for a few years. o He built schools in many cities throughout the empire. The journal of Ibn Battuta(1304-1369) allowed historians to learn about the Mali empire.
Fall of Mali Empire Small states resented being controlled by the Malinke as well as seeking to gain control over the salt and gold trade. o Tuareg seized Timbuktu in 1430 o rebellion in Gao o rise of Songhai who took over Mema in 1465
Spread of Islam The teachings of Islam as well as Islam governing appealed merchants and political leaders. Mali was one of the largest Muslim empires during its reign. Even after the fall of the Mali empire, Islam continued to spread. Many city-states of central-Sudan converted to Islam such as the Hausu city-states and Kanem-Bornu. There were changes on culture such as the architecture of mosques being based off of Middle Eastern design. Literacy rates rose starting with Arabic, then local languages. Although Mali was a Muslim empire, it did not adopt all the customs of the Arab world. o Women did not completely cover their bodies nor wear veils. o Women generally had more rights and were accepted in society.
Trade The Indian Ocean Trade Network allowed Africa to thrive as well as spread Islam. By 1500, there were around 40 city-states such as Kilwa, Mombasa, and Mogadishu on the east coast of Africa. o wealthy from trade o very Islamic
Slavery The elite became more wealthy so there was a demand for more people to serve the elite. Mali, Bornu, and Ethiopia were involved in selling slaves in Africa as well as to the Middle East, India, and China. Between 1200 to 1500, about 2.5 million Africans were transported across the Sahara and the Red Sea. The conditions these slaves lived under weren't bad. o They had opportunities to advance. o Many specialized in a trade.
The Swahili Coast and Great Zimbabwe The Swahili Coast was a strip of land on the eastern coast of Africa that possessed fertile, untainted soil. Many merchants began settling in this area for its resources during the mid 1200s, eventually establishing between 30-40 city-states. These people became known as the Swahili peoples. They shared a common language that was influenced by Arabic and Persian terms and written in Arabic script. The Swahili Coast played an important role in the Indian Ocean trading network as it connected Africa with India and China. Ibn Battuta, a renowned Muslim scholar, said that Kilwa, a town in the southern part of the Swahili Coast was the best towns in the world. The capital, Great Zimbabwe, reached its peak in the 1400s and by the late 1500s, Kilwa annually exported a ton of gold. In 1498, the Portuguese arrived in the city of Quiloa, pillaged the city, seized control of trade and put up crosses while denouncing the religion of Islam.
Songhai Empire (1375-1591) The Songhai Empire was founded in 1375, but had reached its peak during the mid-1400s to early 1500s. The Songhai Empire was ruled by Muslims and acquired its wealth from the trans-Saharan trade. It's first powerful king, Sunni Ali conquered many territories outside of the empire in the 1460s as well as seized and improved the conquered city of Timbuktu, renames Gao, which was later on known for its educational advancements. One of the most famous rulers, Askia Mohammed (1493-1528), centralized the government, built more schools and improved relations with other Muslim states. After Askia Mohammed's death, the empire experienced a short period of peace before disintegrating into civil war, before being conquered by Morocco.
Trans-Saharan Gold Trade (7th-14th century) The Gold Coast was a region in the western side of Africa, occupied by modern day Ghana, that was famous for its gold exports to Europe. The empires of Western Sudan (Ghana, Mali, Songhai) depended on their control of gold and salt trade in the Trans- Saharan network. Gold was widely sought after by both African rulers and European rulers while salt was necessary as a dietary supplement and preservative. Towards the 1600s to the 1700s, slave trade began to make itself a part of the trans-saharan trade, bring slaves from all over Africa to the western coast for the trans-atlantic trade.
Transatlantic Slave Trade (c. 1490s - 1770s) Trade between Europe, the Americas, and Africa. First arose because there was a need of a large workforce for crop cultivation of the Americas. This three way trade system depended on the flow of one continent's export to help another's exports. (Example: the flow of sugar from the Americas to Europe depended on the flow of slaves from Africa to the Americas. Middle Passage- path that took Africans from Africa to the Americas via the Atlantic Ocean. o Had inhumane living conditions that often killed a majority of the Africans being brought to the Americas. Slaves were whipped, beaten, forced to eat, and many developed psychological depression after this. o The Dutch West India Company and the English Royal African Company both took part in the transferring of slaves from Africa to America.
Major Changes Political governments will start to change from empires like the G-M-S empires, to oligarchical rule by foreigners. In 1450s - 1750's, countries and empires in Africa began to trade internationally instead of between themselves. This international trade brought cultural diffusion, the spread of new ideas, one being Christianity, and the spread of goods. It also brought along the horrible treatment of Africans along the slave trade. Africa is starting to become a place of great importance as it hold a great amount of natural resources; We can see the seeds of imperialism here as the Portuguese gained control of the Swahili Coast and the Afrikaners and British fought over the Cape of Good Hope.
Change in Religion c. 1200s. 2010
Industrialization and Global Integration(1750-1900) slave trade between Africa and the Europeans dominated in the 1700s - Gold coast traded slaves, gold, ivory, & timber as part of atlantic trade atlantic trade along the Bight of Biafra in grew & many slaves were prisoners of war. o environmental & trade link-environmental crisis caused migrations & African leaders took advantage of this by offering refuge. Refugee children were assimilated while adult women were used for reproduction/agriculture. Adult males sold as slaves since they were most likely to rebel. o Islamism- penetrated Africa hundreds of yrs ago but by 1700s it was still an urban religion w/ little influence on rural areas o African languages continued in inland trade routes & very few coastal African areas had interest in christianity after contact with Portuguese o despite slave trade, sub-saharan african populations remained large,
limited volume of imports that Africans wanted did not undermine African industries-imported products actually stimulated local production of things like textiles as competition New African States-1750-late 1800s southern Africa--Zulu kingdom rose. inland west Africa -Islamic reformers created the Sokoto Caliphate o Islam had little influence for rural people despite impact in politics of cities. 1770s- Muslims began Islamic reforms & forcible conquest- "jihad". Movement spread to other Hausa states & a caliph in Sokoto soon ruled these new Muslim states o became centers of Islamic learning&reform,slavery increased, religious tolerance with a special tax -Algeria became a colony of France in 1830 After 1820s trade exports of oils, gold, ivory increased & by 1807 slave trade was banned so "legitimate trade" was established to continue European-African trade relationship----->industrial revolution started the declining need of slaves and increasing need of agricultural goods as European nations evolved from agricultural to industrial nation and populations increase
Scramble for Africa/ colonization occupation of the congo basin led to the Berlin Conference(1884- 1885) where countries agreed on occupation of Africa that would replace trade relations since West Africa had long been a major trading area, rulers took advantage of trade networks, taxes, investing in railroad&harbors o interior of French West Africa lagged behind due to transportation issues o Equatorial Africa had little trade so the French and Portuguese gave lands to private companies--->monopolies Southern Africa attracted settlers due to good farmland, diamonds, gold copper, iron, coal o Great Britain tried to annex South Africa due to diamonds and gold which led to a war between Afrikhaners and the British but despite the British winning South Africa had self rule
Effects on African Society some tribes welcomed the Europeans as allies against enemies while others adamantly fought against colonialism o after colonial rule was established, natives sought jobs in government and sent their children to mission schools. Due to compliance, they received benefits like clinics o in general, most africans neither complied or fought they just wanted to continue on with their lives but colonial rule ended many traditional societies o land ownership changed for natives that depended on land for a living places with large populations were encouraged to grow cahs crops for exports while other lands were confiscated & given to private companies--->Africans were forced off their own land, became sharecroppers, lived on reserves(south africa) desperation led to work for less pay in plantations, at railroads, etc.
Some went to mining camps/cities for better lives & most families were broken up as the men left to cities while children/wives stayed behind o prostitution, sexually transmitted diseases African women lost property rights missionaries opened schools that taught Africans diff. craftsmanships/basic skill o this also led to assimilation to western ideals such as freedom & progress o Christianity also spread & in central Africa Chrisitanity was mixed with African traditional customs to form "Ethiopian" churches Christianity did not reach Muslims-- they had a counter- conversion. In Islam dominated places(north and East Africa), schools were established in villages & groups formed to further Islam the building of cities by Europeans / trade increases helped spread Islam as Muslims began to move--- >Muslims in South Africa doubled between late 1800s- early 1900s
1914-present European imperialism and decolonization in Africa Changes Formation of national identity European colonization of Africa and then decolonization and departure Introductions of Christianity and modern medicine to Africa Continuities Tribal disputes Corrupt leadership and poor economy and infrastructure Use of cash crops for economy
Rise of African Nationalism Late 1800s: African nationalism not too strong because Europeans have not settled there permanently yet. European colonization marks the first few nationalist ideas in Africa. World War I: Africans sent overseas to help war effort are able to observe Europeans at their most desperate times and realize the imperialists are not invincible. World War II: Africans once again sent to help the war effort and see Allied propaganda against oppression and for equal rights, and wants to be treated with these values as well. Native Africans educated in Western schools and who made travels to Europe and the U.S. also fueled the movement, and led the nationalist movement (i.e. Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Jomo Kenyatta). African Nationalists were inspired by the Indian Nationalist movement.
African Decolonization Decolonization of Ghana (1957): Nationalist movement led by Kwame Nkrumah, elected Prime Minister in 1951. Overthrown in 1966 by military due to his obsession with Pan-Africanism. Independence in Kenya (1961): Led by Jomo Kenyatta. Kenyatta himself was a peaceful protester, but supported the Mau-Mau, a nationalist terrorist group that killed European settlers. After being released from jail, Kenyatta convinced Britain to write a constitution for an independent Kenya and is elected president in 1964. Belgian Congo: chaotic and bloody. Political and tribal opponents found foreign allies, namely members of the Warsaw Pact and NATO. Both civil war and Cold War are fought and lead to damaged property and loss of life. Lumumba is assassinated in a military coup (1965) and Mobuto Sese Seko rules with a corrupt government until 1997
Problems in Post-Colonial Africa Power after decolonization went from elite to elite. New governments ruled with the same condescension and corruption as their white counterparts. Neo-colonialism & lack of economic growth: African countries still relied on cash crops for profit, leading to economic dependency on more powerful nations. Exception: Nigeria, which relies on oil for money (good, steady source of profit because we all know how industrial countries love their oil). Internal conflict: Africa has had more civil wars than wars across borders, due to inter-tribal conflicts that make it difficult for centralized power and a united nation. Lack of infrastructure: rails and roads were built for the benefit of the Europeans and only pass through export cities. Post-colonial efforts for construction were haphazard, unnecessary, and only seemed to waste money rather than help the nation.
South Africa Receives independence in 1961, but white minority remains and holds control over black majority. Their system of apartheid segregates housing, employment, and education. African National Congress (ANC)-opposition against apartheid. Mandela leads guerilla resistance against apartheid starting in 1960 and is imprisoned for life in 1964. Soweto Uprising(1976) and murder of Stephen Biko (1997) Desmond Tutu "persuades" foreign businesses to stop investment and trade in S. Africa in order to create foreign pressure on the nation. FW de Klerk (moderate Afrikaner national) releases Mandela in 1990 and begins to repeal apartheid laws. 1994 universal elections (black and white). Mandela wins presidency and the ANC wins 63% of the vote. A new constitution is written in 1996 that gives all South Africans equal rights. Mandela and de Klerk both receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

The present invention relates to an improvement to vehicle rearview mirrors.
Rearview mirrors which consist of mirrors moving at an angle inside their support casing and are adjustable from outside or inside the vehicle, have a disadvantage which is that the mirror being subjected to stray vibrations, gives a blurred, "shaky" image which prevents correct vision.
To eliminate this defect, devices have been proposed in French Patent No. 75.15252, German Patent Application No. 2 426 489 and U.S. Pat. No. 2,855,825. Such devices for eliminating vibrations normally comprise elastic members placed between the mirrorholder and the casing. These anti-vibratory members are constituted either by force-twisted pins or by blades working in compression and friction.
Each anti-vibratory member is composed of a flexible element adapted to come in sliding contact on the inside face of the cupel and of another element fitted on the back of the mirror supporting member. The flexible element of support forms an angle of approximately 90� with the other fixed element fitted on the back face of the mirror supporting member.
However, these known means do not completely eliminate vibrations if the flexible elements (pins, blades) are not subjected to the adequate stress.
In order to respect the rules set by the control organizations relatively to the elimination of mirror vibrations, which rules are becoming more and more severe, it is necessary to increase the operating torque of the mirror-supporting member by increasing the twisting or the resting force of the elements in contact with the casing.
Consequently, the operating torque, particularly in rearview mirrors controlled by a cable transmission, becomes too high, creating difficulties of operation and of adjustment which can entail risks of cable breakage at the level of the control knob.
In addition, the flexible elements of the known type form an angle of approximately 90� with the rear face of the mirror-supporting member, thereby preventing their fitting in casings of small depth. By coming into abutment against the closed section of the rear wall of the casing, the end-of-travel deflections of the mirror supporting member can indeed become perturbed therewith.
In the known anti-vibratory devices, therefore, it is necessary for the flexible elements to be effective, that said elements be fitted under a very strong twisting and compression force, this entailing disadvantages and difficulties in cable control transmission. Moreover the flexible elements need a very deep fitting space which reduces the possibilities of angular deflection for the mirror.
In order to overcome these disadvantages, the present invention proposes an improved device which eliminates the direct stress method in the connection between the casing and the mirror supporting member.
According to the present invention, at least one elastic member is mounted on the back of the mirror-supporting member, the two ends of the said elastic member resting against the opposed side faces of the casing, and the said elastic member being engaged in at least two guiding members fast with the mirror-supporting member.
With this arrangement, the mirror-supporting member is slightly restrained and positioned without direct pressure, so that all vibrations are suppressed.
Moreover, this device further permits a smooth mirror-adjusting operation by the control member and a reduced depth of space for the antivibratory device fitted on the back face of the mirror-supporting member.
In order to improve the guiding of the mirror casing a connection is made between these two members by way of a guiding member which is fast with the mirror-holder, in prolongation of one or two orthogonal axes of the joint thereof, the said guiding member sliding in at least one groove situated on the inside wall of the casing.
The invention will be more readily understood on reading the following description of several embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevational cross-section, along line I--I of FIG. 2, of an embodiment of improved rearview mirror according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-section along line II--II of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a cross-section along line III--III of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a view on an enlarged scale of a push button mounted in a guide bearing;
FIG. 5 is a cross-section along line V--V of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a cross-section of an embodiment detail of FIG. 1 showing a guide member;
FIG. 7 is a cross-section along line VII--VII of FIG. 8 in another embodiment of the improved rearview mirror according to the invention;
FIG. 8 is a cross-section along line VIII--VIII of FIG. 7;
FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show a rearview mirror comprising a casing 1, mounted on an arm 13 connected to the vehicle body, said casing 1 containing a mirror 2 secured to a supporting member 3 adapted to be moved according to two perpendicular axes xx1 and yy1 via a control means not shown on the drawing.
On the back 1a of the casing 1 is fitted or molded a supporting member 4 provided with a fork 5 in which is fitted a vertical axis 6 on which axis is pivotally mounted a crosspiece 7 provided at its ends with trunnions 8 mounted for pivoting in bearings 9, 9a fast with the rear face of the mirrorsupporting member 3. It is possible with this design to move the supporting member 3 along two perpendicular axes xx1 and yy1. Two elastic members consisting of helical springs 10, 10a are situated symmetrically on either side of the vertical axis xx1, said helical springs being respectively in resting contact at their two ends, via two push-buttons 11, 12 and 11a, 12a on the opposed sides faces 1b and 1c of the casing 1.
Each push-button 11, 12 and 11a and 12a is mounted for free sliding in a bearing 14, 15, 14a, 15a which is fast with the back face of the mirror-supporting member 3 (FIGS. 4,5). The push button 11 is provided with a flange 16 against which rests one of the ends of the spring 10.
Above each bearing such as 14, there is provided two lips 17, 17a made of elastic material, which are in radial contact with the push button 11 in order to constitute a gripping member for the latter and to remove any radial clearance if necessary.
On either sides of each spring 10 and 10a are situated two blades 18, 19 and 18a and 19a, which are fast with the mirror-supporting member 3 and ensure the lengthwise guiding of the springs.
On one of the side edges of the casing 1, level with its horizontal median plane, is provided a groove 20 (FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 6) inside which a spherical-shaped lug 21 slides and pivots, which lug is provided with a split 22 and is connected via a rod 23 to the mirror supporting member 3. It is possible with this design to reinforce the support of the mirror 2 due to the lug being arranged according to the pivoting axis yy1 in order to allow the "North-South" angular deflection.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the elastic member 10, 10a exercises a low and virtually constant thrusting force in all the deflections permitted by the mechanism.
FIGS. 7 and 8 show a variant embodiment in which the elastic member is constituted by a spring 24 made of resilient wire such as steel wire and provided with an Ω-shaped central part and two loops 25, 25a at the ends, which loops are in forced contact with the opposed faces 1b and 1c of the casing 1.
The end loops 25, 25a are mounted for free sliding in guides 26, 26a provided on the back face and on the opposed edges of the mirror-supporting member 3.
Various modifications may of course be made by anyone skilled in the art to the methods or devices described hereinabove without departing from the scope of the invention.

Summertime's supposed to be all about fun-filled, agenda-free days, outdoor activity, and staying up (just a little bit) past bedtime. A surefire way to throw a wrench into that plan? A painful splinter, a killer mosquito bite, or a bad case of swimmer's ear. They're all inevitable parts of being a kid, but the faster we can prevent or get rid of them, the better! Here, nine cures for the most common complaints of the Summer.
Source: Thinkstock [1]
Bug Bites
Problem: No matter how many citronella candles you light, and how much but spray you spray, those pesky mosquitos are bound to bite.
Solved: From baking soda to vinegar, our readers shared their top home remedies [2] for taking the sting out of those bothersome bites. Best of all? You're likely to have most of the necessary products already in your pantry.
Green Hair
Problem: While chlorine can have damaging effects on all colors of hair, blondes are especially susceptible to discoloration . . . and really, who wants green hair?
Solved: Ultra Swim [3] has been around forever — for good reason. Come Summer time, swap it for your kids' regular shampoo, and use a leave-in conditioner to restore moisture. If they're in the pool constantly and have light-colored hair, a swimming cap is a good idea.
Source: Flickr user Tony Crider [4]
Swimsuit Snags and Fading
Problem: With the amount of time that kids spend in their swimsuits during the Summer, it's no wonder that they're susceptible to snags and fast fading.
Solved: The cement surface that surrounds most pools is prime for snagging. If your kids are sitting by the side of the pool, try to get a towel under their little bums. According to VIP Cleaners [5], you should always hand-wash suits with mild detergent, and be sure to rinse thoroughly. To dry, gently roll the suit in a towel to remove excess water, then allow it to air dry (away from the sun).
Source: Flickr user Ed Yourdon [6]
Wood Splinters
Problem: Ouch! Running around barefoot on the boardwalk is fun, until there's a tiny piece of wood ingrained in your kid's hand or foot.
Solved: To prevent infection, the most important thing you can do is keep the splinter site clean. Wash it with soap and water, then use a pair of sterilized tweezers to pry the wood out. Alternatively, if it's sticking out of the skin's surface, you can try putting a piece of Scotch tape on to see if it'll come out that way instead.
Problem: As the Summer camp season kicks off, kids in close quarters are likely to lead to outbreaks of these little creepy crawlers.
Solved: Follow our eight-step guide [7] that includes tips for both preventing and getting rid of an infestation in your kiddo's crowning glory.
Red Eyes
Problem: Chlorine exposure can leave eyes red, stinging, and/or puffy.
Solved: The Mayo Clinic's best advice is to try to get your kids to wear goggles [8] in the pool. If that doesn't work (or they're unwilling), rinse their eyes out with a sterile eyewash or artificial tear solution immediately after they return from the pool.
Source: Flickr user Rona Proudfoot [9]
All-Over Chlorine Irritation
Problem: Sensitive, dry skin is particularly prone to "chlorine itch" or "chlorine rash."
Solved: Get your kids to rinse off in the shower immediately after they've been in a swimming pool. Use cool water and a basic, natural soap. Afterward, apply a heavy moisturizing or anti-itch cream.
Swimmer's Ear
Problem: Swimmer's ear is an inflammation of the ear canal [10] that's caused when water, sand, or other debris accumulate and cause the growth of bacteria or fungus, according to Everyday Health.
Solved: Keep ears dry by gently tipping the head from side to side after each swim. Dry the outer ear with a soft towel or cloth to get rid of any residual water. The Mayo Clinic suggests applying a teaspoon of a homemade solution of one part white vinegar and one part rubbing alcohol [11] to each ear to facilitate drying and help prevent the growth of bacteria. The pediatrician can also prescribe medicated ear drops if the damage is already done.
Problem: An unfortunate and unwelcome souvenir from a day of fun at the beach or pool, sunburn isn't just uncomfortable, it can have scary repercussions years down the line as well.
Solved: Every mom knows that frequent and thorough sunscreen [12] application is essential any time your kids are going to be playing out in the sun. But if the rays get the best of them, there are a few wise ways to treat the painful burn. The good news, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, is that young skin heals a lot more quickly than older skin [13]. Since sunburn can cause dehydration, make sure that your child drinks plenty of fluids. A bath in a clear (no bubbles!), lukewarm tub can cool and soothe the skin, as can the application of a light moisturizing or calamine lotion. Steer clear of any product containing alcohol, hydrocortisone, benzocaine, or added antihistatmines. And be sure to use a gentle hand when applying lotion — the last thing that burn needs is added agitation.

Legally Armed: V20N4
By Teresa G. Ficaretta, Esq. & Johanna Reeves, Esq.
ATF Publishes Regulations Requiring Background Checks for "Responsible Persons" of Trusts and Corporations
The following article is based on an alert Reeves & Dola published on January 13, 2016, and is in follow up to our news flash previously published in SAR volume 20 number 2.
On January 4, 2016, the Attorney General signed a final rule amending Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ("ATF") regulations in Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 479, relating to making and transfer applications for firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act ("NFA"). The regulations will require "responsible persons" of trusts and legal entities such as partnerships and corporations to submit photographs and fingerprints when the entity submits an application to make or transfer a firearm subject to the NFA. The regulations will also eliminate the law enforcement certification currently required for individuals submitting making and transfer applications.
ATF posted the final rule to its website on January 5, 2016, and it was published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2016. The effective date is July 13, 2016.
I. Historical Background
The NFA, Title 26 of the U.S. Code, Chapter 53, regulates machineguns, short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns, silencers, destructive devices, and certain other concealable firearms known as "any other weapon." The NFA requires such firearms to be registered by their respective manufacturer, maker, or importer, and transfers must be approved in advance by ATF.
For many years, ATF regulations implementing the NFA have required applications to make firearms (filed on ATF Form 1) and applications to transfer firearms to unlicensed individuals (filed on ATF Form 4) include photographs and fingerprints of the maker or transferee, respectively. The photographs and fingerprints enable a background check of the prospective possessor to ensure he or she is not prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under federal or state law. In the case of individual applicants, the Form 1 or Form 4 application also had to include a certification from the local chief of police, sheriff of the county, or other chief law enforcement officer...
