When I was seven, or thereabouts, my father left my mother, and moved to a less genteel part of the city, where he lived in a tiny terrace opposite a potted-meat factory. No one had told me that another woman was involved in my parents' separation, but I think I'd guessed as much – and, sure enough, following a few token solo weekends, during which my father lavished us with Lego, salted peanuts and orange squash, I was introduced to the girl, two decades his junior and only just out of university, who was to become my stepmother. It goes without saying that this meant all sorts of things, emotionally. But it changed things culturally, too, even if I wouldn't have put it like that at the time. M brought with her a passion for guinea pigs, a large and somewhat terrifying collection of prog rock albums and a stack of slightly battered books, which, thanks to her age and background, were beguilingly different from those on my mother's shelves. In the coming months, determined to be my friend, she duly handed over the favourite titles of her childhood. I should try them; she promised that I wouldn't regret it if I did.
At first, I wondered about her taste. The Little Grey Men by 'BB', a Carnegie Medal winner from 1942 in which four Warwickshire gnomes embark on an epic journey through the English countryside, was a struggle and a joke, and I didn't finish it. Nor did I much care for The Starlight Barking by Dodie Smith, the sequel to One Hundred and One Dalmatians (the humans of the world have fallen asleep; Pongo and Missus investigate). Even as a child, anthropomorphism left me cold. But Emil and the Detectives by Erich Kästner … now she was talking! Racing through her old Puffin – like every edition since the novel was first published in 1929, it came with the delightful illustrations of Walter Trier – I felt a powerful sense of ownership, as if I'd ordered it up, chosen it like an ice-cream from a van. Like me, Emil found himself shuttling between A and B. Like me, he worried about his mother, who lived alone. Like me, he was keen to play detective (I was always informing my father that, in the light of another murder having occurred in the house, I would have to take his fingerprints; make of that what you will, dear Freudians). Hell, there was even a scene in which our boy hero ended up in the compositors' room of a Berlin newspaper "where there was a clatter like a thousand typewriters at work all at once" (heaven to me because I already dreamed of being a journalist). Emil and the Detectives was, in my view, the perfect book, and the fact that it was written by a (to me) exotic-sounding German and was then rather less well known among my peers than, say, Stig of the Dump or Tom's Midnight Garden only added to its allure. I enjoyed – to pinch from James Wood – a sense of clandestine fellowship with it. I decided to give M the benefit of the doubt.
The story goes like this: Emil Tischbein lives in Neustadt with his widowed mother, a hairdresser. Mrs Tischbein worries about making ends meet, an anxiety that she transmits, unwittingly or otherwise, to her devoted son. So when she sends him off to stay with his aunt and grandmother in Berlin with £7 in his pocket, he is determined not to lose it. Not content with keeping the money in an envelope in his suit jacket, he pins the notes to its lining, something that proves to be highly reassuring when he finds himself sharing his compartment on the slow train to the capital with a sinister-looking man in a bowler hat called Mr Grundeis. But then he falls asleep – his eyes simply will not stay open – and by the time he wakes up, all is lost: Mr Grundeis has disappeared, and so has Emil's precious cash.
Emil, though, is a preternaturally adult kind of a boy, and when he spots Mr Grundeis's hat in the crowd at the Berlin station at which the train has stopped, he resolves to follow him and get his money back – no matter that his grandmother and cousin Pony are patiently waiting for him. Happily, he isn't alone for long. While Grundeis is eating his lunch in a restaurant, Emil meets a boy called Gustav. Intrigued by Emil's mission, Gustav rounds up his gang – using an old-fashioned motor horn – who agree to form a crack team of detectives; at their head is the Professor, who wears horn-rimmed spectacles and has the wise manner befitting the son of a judge. Pretty soon, they have Grundeis surrounded, and soon after this – not to give too much away – he gets his comeuppance. Emil and his new friends, meanwhile, are now heroes, the stars of newspaper headlines.
Though I haven't seen it yet, it's no surprise to me that the National Theatre is staging a theatrical version of Emil for its Christmas show, adapted from the novel by Carl Miller. It's such an exciting, well-paced story, and its sense of movement – the boys form an intricate, highly organised web in which to catch their prey – doubtless lends itself perfectly to the large Olivier theatre. But reading it again, for the first time in 30 years, I see, too, what an amazingly shrewd and subtle writer Kästner was, and I can only urge you, now, to send your children – or any children you know – back to the book itself, irrespective of whether or not you're planning an outing to the play. Kästner remembers all too well the longing that children have to be adults, and he sets his characters thrillingly free. When they ask their parents if they might stay out all night, the better to bunk down close to Grandeis's hotel, they are not refused. And why would they be? The adults take them seriously; they trust their children's judgment, and assume that this faith will be repaid. "[My mother] lets me do more or less as I like," Emil tells the Professor at one point. "But then I mostly don't want to, if you see what I mean." More poignantly, Kästner understands the way children absorb not only their parents' worries, but their position in society. In his world, childhood isn't experienced by those who inhabit it as a class-free nirvana. Quite the opposite. Every boy knows his place in the pecking order. When the Professor tells Emil that no one in his house ever talks about money, Emil replies: "Then I expect you have plenty."
Its author, of course, knew whereof he spoke; there's a reason a journalist called Mr Kästner makes an appearance towards the end of the novel. Like Emil, he was an only child, and his mother, Ida, too, was a hairdresser, a job she did to supplement the income of his saddlemaker father. He and Ida were, moreoever, unusually close, and when he left home – he was drafted into the German army in 1917, and enrolled in university at Leipzig in 1919, after which he headed for Berlin to become a journalist and poet – he wrote to her daily. In Emil and the Detectives, Ida's presence is strongly and tenderly felt. Mrs Tischbein is reluctant to allow her son to treat her with the gift of a new hairdryer with the money he receives as a reward for helping to secure the arrest of Grundeis. But on her way to meet Emil in Berlin, she reads the newspaper story in which he appears no fewer than 11 times.
In the back of the Vintage Classics edition of the novel, sitting slightly uncomfortably between two quizzes, is a short biography of Kästner informing young readers that his books – he wrote for adults, too – were labelled anti-German by the Nazis, and that he was present as they were tossed into the fire by Goebbels in 1933. My stepmother's Puffin edition did not include this information (nor, come to that, did it explain that the prolific Kästner was a pacifist and, later on, an alcoholic). But I knew enough about the war, the defining event of my grandparents' lives, to know that a German writer publishing at a time when trams were still around – for this was how I dated the book – was bound to have been involved one way or another, and this, for me, gave the novel an extra edge of danger. It was easy to conjure Grundeis in my mind's eye; I pictured him looking like the baddie in a Sunday afternoon black and white film.
But this is the other important thing about Emil and the Detectives: Kästner set his novel in contemporary Berlin, a city of apartments and underground trains. At the time, this must have seemed a touch outrageous. Most children's books were set either in a fantasy land, far removed from the sound of steam trains and rush-hour crowds, or in nurseries, literally or metaphorically. Kästner eschewed such cosiness, and, in doing so, more or less single-handedly invented a new genre: the child detective story (though the teenage Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew emerged across the Atlantic at about the same time).
Its huge success – never out of print in English, it has so far been translated into 59 languages – paved the way for so many others, from Enid Blyton to Anthony Horowitz. In my own case, Blyton was the very next author I picked up; my mother had nearly all the Famous Five stories in hardback, and I read them one after the other in a huge binge. This mania for detection turned out to be a wonderful thing. Blyton, in turn, led me to Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories – I must have read "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" a dozen times before I was 12 – and thus, a new horizon opened up before me: the realm of adult books. It was official. I was a reader.
Last week, as I reread Emil, all that I have described to you came back to me in a "whoosh": not just the book's pleasures and consolations, but the way its hero somehow helped to form me. I had half-forgotten this. I'm not one of those people who thinks "great" children's literature and "great" literature are the same thing, and when the University of Kent's creative writing programme recently apologised for having dared to distinguish between the two, I was amazed. But this isn't to say that I think children's books aren't deeply important to their readers. For me, they were more vital than I can possibly say. "Password Emil!" The phrase worked for Kästner's boy detectives and, in the end, it worked for me.
• Emil and the Detectives is at the Olivier theatre, London SE1, until 18 March.

sum 3 OF 3 INVENTORb. GLEN EHENSON "na MILTON W. FISHER ATTORNEY EXERCISE APPARATUS This invention relates to exercising apparatus, and more particularly, to apparatus wherein a rope is pulled against a yieldable resistive force during the exercise operation.
Various devices have been utilized for permitting repetitive exercise. These have generally involved structures in which a rope is wrapped around a member for resisting the pull on the rope by the friction generated between the member and the rope. While these devices have met with general acceptance and some may be quite helpful in permitting isotonic and isometric repetitive exercises, they have certain limitations for use in a well rounded, body and endurance conditioning, program.
It has generally become recognized that such a program should provide for the working of the various muscles under loads which are tailored for the various exercises carried out and for the ability of the muscles to perform throughout all of the various body positions assumed during the exercise. Isometric exercises are adequate for strengthening a muscle at a given position but it has been learned that this type of exercise has very little effect toward strengthening the muscle throughout the entire range of muscle contraction. Similarly, isotonic exercises work the muscle under load throughout its contracting range but the load is uniform throughout the range and must accordingly be sufficiently small that it can be overcome even when the muscle and body are in positions of least ability.
Ideally, an exercising device should provide a resistance to the muscle which matches the users specific muscular capacity throughout the entire range of movement. This means that the load must be variable and must automatically work the muscle at its maximum ability at every position throughout the entire range of motion if maximum conditioning is to be achieved. Exercise which involves maximum effort through a complete range of motion has been termed isokinetic exercise.
Apparatuses have heretofore been suggested for accom' plishing isokinetic exercise. These have involved complicated motor driven machinery wherein a particular movement is prcprogrammed in the machine and the exerciser serves as a pacer to permit the user to carry out the exercise at the speed set up in the program. Such machines have been complicated, are extremely expensive and do not lend themselves to ready portability and home use.
Accordingly, it is the primary object of this invention to provide an exercise apparatus which automatically accommodates the resistance afforded by the apparatus to the users immediate and specific muscular capacity throughout the entire range of motion during the exercise.
It is another important object of the invention to provide apparatus which provides automatic braking action responsive to the pull of the rope so that the harder the rope is pulled, the greater the resisting force, thereby insuring maximum effort through the entire exercise range.
Still another object of this invention is to provide an apparatus to permit isokinetic exercising which utilizes a relatively simple braking device responsive to centrifugal force generated in the apparatus during the use thereof so that the apparatus may be relatively economically fabricated and maintained.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide an exercising apparatus utilizing a novel rope rewinding device so that the apparatus is automatically readied for continued repetitive exercise programs.
Another object of this invention is to provide an optional, timed lock to permit initial isometric exercising upon the initiation of an isokinetic exercise repetition.
Still another object of this invention is to provide novel means for insuring level, uniform winding of the rope upon the rewind spool.
A further object of one form of the present invention is to provide simple, easily fabricated, yet highly reliable means for recording the relative force exerted by pulling on the rope throughout the entire range of motion so that a user may accurately observe progress from the conditioning program.
A very important object of this invention is to present a relatively lightweight and highly portable exercise apparatus which is suitable for home as well as institutional use and which lends itself to virtually every conceivable pulling, lifting and pushing exercise which may form a part of a beneficial body conditioning program.
These and other objects of this invention will be further explained or will become apparent from the specification, claims and drawings.

FIG. 10 is a fragmentary, top plan view of the apparatus of FIG. 9, parts being broken away to reveal details of construction.
Referring initially to FIGS. 1-8, apparatus embodying the principles of this invention is broadly designated with the reference numeral 20 and includes a support 22. The latter may comprise a casting including an upwardly extending base portion 24 having an uppermost substantially flat surface 26. Support 22 is thus configured in a generally inverted dish shape to present a compartment 28 beneath surface 26 as is illustrated best in FIG. 6. A pair of outwardly extending wings 30 (FIGS. I and 6) are integral with portion 24 and present surfaces upon which the user of apparatus 20 may place his feet during exercising procedures as will be subsequently explained.
A pair of spaced apart upwardly extending rigid frame members 32 and 34 are secured to respective opposite sides of the upwardly extending portion 24 and are interconnected ad jacent the uppermost ends of members 32 and 34 by a transversely extending rod 36. A transversely circular shaft 38 extends between members 32 and 34 and is journaled therein by suitable bearings in each frame member.
A relatively large gear 40 is pinned to shaft 38 so that the gear 40 rotates with shaft 38. The innermost surface of gear 40 facing frame member 34 is suitably configured to carry thereon a plurality of dogs 44 illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 7. To this end, a stub shaft 46 for each dog 44 is carried by gear 40 and projects outwardly therefrom for pivotally coupling the corresponding dog 44 thereto for swinging movement about its respective shaft 46. Each shaft 46 has mounted thereon a torsion spring 48 (FIG. 5) engaging the gear 40 and the corresponding dog 44 for biasing the latter in a counterclockwisedirection as illustrated in FIG. 5. The outermost ends of the dogs 44 are bevelled as shown in FIG. 5 for cooperating with a series of spaced apart integral projections 50 extending radially inwardly from an annular dish shaped enlargement 42 formed at one end of a rope windup spool 54. The latter is journaled over shaft 38 and is provided with an axially extending enlarged bore 56. A torsion spring 58 is wound on shaft 38 and is contained within bore 56 as illustrated in FIG. 7. One end of spring 58 is secured to frame member 34 and the opposite end thereof is secured to enlargement 42 for exerting a biasing force tending to rotate spool 54 about shaft 38 in one direction.
It should be pointed out at this juncture that dogs 44 are disposed with respect to the stub shafts 46' and projections 50 so that rotation of spool 54 in one direction causes a corresponding rotation of gear 40 by virtue of the engagement of the end of one of the dogs 44 between a pair of projections 50. This rotation of spool 54 with respect to the frame winds spring 58 which subsequently, upon the release of the rotational forces from spool 54, causes the latter to be turned in an opposite direction about shaft 38. The turning of spool 54 in such opposite direction does not, however, turn gear 40 since the projections 50 merely swing the dogs 44 against the bias of force 48 and the orientation of the dogs 44 is such that no driving'force may be imparted through the latter to gear 40.
The outer intermediate surface 60 of spool 54 is provided with an elongated continuous radially outwardly extending ridge 62. Ridge 62 is disposed in a helical fashion throughout a substantial portion of the length of surface 60 thereby presenting an elongated helicallyextending groove 64 in surface 60. It is to be noted that groove 64 is arcuate to substantially complementally embrace the outer arcuate surface of an clongated flexible element in the nature of a rope 66 having one end thereof secured to spool 54 proximal portion 52. The groove 64 serves as a guide to insure uniform winding of rope 66 on the spool as will be subsequently more fully explained.
A transversely circular shaft 68 extends between frame members 32 and 34 in horizontally spaced relationship from shaft 38 and the ends of shaft 68 are joumaled for rotation in the respective members 32 and 34 by suitable bearings. A sprocket 70 is rigidly secured to shaft 68 and is operably engaged with gear 40. Friction resistive means broadly designated by the reference numeral 72 is carried by shaft 68 and includes a first member in the form of a disc 74 carried on the outer ends of a pair of spaced apart elongated rods 76 and 78 extending parallel to shaft 68. The rods 76 and 78 each respectively extends through a corresponding outwardly projecting leg 80 of a pair of L-shaped brackets 82 rigidly secured to shaft 68 on opposite sides thereof (one of which is removed in FIG. 8 for clarity) and rotatable with the latter. The rods 76 and 78 are threadably received in suitable apertures through frustoconical disc 84 also received over shaft 68. A second frustoconical disc 86 is positioned opposite disc 84 so that the surfaces of the discs at the smaller ends of the conical frustums are in mutual engagement. Disc 86 is also received over shaft 68 and rods 76 and 78 as illustrated best in FIG. 2. Springs 88 are interposed on each of the rods 76 and 78 intermediate bracket legs 80 and corresponding nuts 90 threaded on the outermost ends of the respective rods 76 and 78.
By virtue of the construction of the discs 84 and 86 together with their association with guide rods 76 and 78, a force exerted parallel to shaft 68 against the largest planar surface of disc 84 causes the latter to move to the left as viewed in FIG. 2. Since disc 84 threadably receives the rods 76 and 78, such movement may occur only against the yieldable bias of the springs 88 as the latter are compressed between nuts 90 and bracket legs 80. Movement of disc 84 to the left causes the latter to push against disc 86 to force disc 86 to slide on rods 76 and 78 in the same direction. This, in turn, moves the smaller disc 74 to the left.
The movement of disc 74 clamps the same against an elongated stationary friction member 92 in the nature of a block of frictionable fabric material. Preferably, member 92 may be constructed from fiber impregnated with a zinc wire mesh and is of the same material having advantageous friction characteristics such as is used in brake linings for automobiles or the like.
Member 92 is provided with a pair of suitably positioned spaced-apart apertures receiving shaft 68 and rod 36 respectively so that member 92 is held stationary at all times irrespective of the rotation of shaft 68. It is to be pointed out,
. however, that the apertures extending transversely through member 92 are sufficiently large to permit limited axial shifting of member 92 longitudinally with respect to shaft 68.
This shifting of member 92 toward the left as shown in FIG. 2 is limited by a member in the form of a disc 94 rigidly secured to shaft 68 on the opposite side of member 92 from disc 74. Another disc 96 of substantially greater diameter than disc 94 is disposed adjacent the latter and is rigidly secured to shaft.68 by a pin 43. Disc 96 has a notch 98 in the outermost periphery thereof as illustrated best in FIG. 4.
Referring now particularly to FIG. 8, a collar 100 is rigidly secured to shaft 68 and is also rigidly secured to the brackets 82 (only one of which appears in FIG. 8). A pair of opposed L- shaped levers 102 are pivotally secured between brackets 82 on pins 104 with the short legs 106 of the respective levers I02 lying generally parallel with the proximal planar surface of disc 84. Weights 108 are secured at the outermost ends of the longer legs 110 of each lever respectively. The pins 104 extend substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of shaft 68 to permit the outward swing of the legs 110 of the levers at an angle with respect to the axis of shaft 68 under the influence of centrifugal force when the shaft is rotated. To this end, the weights 108 increase the effect of the centrifugal force in swinging the levers generally to the positions illustrated in FIG. 8. It is to be noted that such outward swinging of levers 102 result in the legs 106 pressing against the proximal surface of disc 84 for pushing the latter longitudinally along shaft 68. This also results in the shifting to the left as viewed in FIG. 8 of disc 86 and member 74 thereby clamping member 92 between disc members 74 and 94. Manifestly, the clamping of member 92 between the members 74 and 94 results in the generation of frictional forces from the sliding of the corresponding surfaces of members 74 and 94 against member 92 as shaft 68 rotates. The friction force thus generated resists the rotation of shaft 68. The frustoconical configuration of disc members 84 and 86 insures that the force resulting from levers 102 for moving the disc members along a path of travel toward the stationary member 92 will be applied substantially centrally of member 74 so that the resistive force of the frictional engagement between members 74 and 92 will be substantially uniform throughout the entire path of rotary travel of member 74.
In the embodiment of the invention chosen for illustration in FIGS. 1-8, lock means is provided for holding the rotatable disc members from rotating for a predetermined time interval. Such lock means is broadly designated by the reference numeral 112 and comprises a U-shaped element 114 having opposite ends pivotally received over rod 36. Torsion springs 116 for each end of member 114 engage the corresponding frame members 32 and 34 to bias the member 114 in a counterclockwise direction as illustrated in FIG. 4. A bracket 118 is secured to the upper surface of portion 24 of support 22 and extends upwardly therefrom. A lever 120 is pivotally secured intermediate its ends to the upper end of bracket 118. An inturned leg 122 (FIGS. 2 and 3) at one end of lever 120 is disposed to engage notch 98 in disc 96. The opposite end of lever 120 receives an elongated bent rod 124 which is, in turn, hooked into member 114 as shown most clearly in FIGS. 2 and 3. Springs 126 and 128 are interposed on either side of lever 120 and are secured to the lowermost end of rod 124 between washers 130 to permit limited relative movement of lever I20 with respect to rod 124 either upwardly or downwardly against the bias of springs 128 and 126 respectively.
To this point, it will be clear that when member 114 is swung to the position thereof illustrated in FIG. 6. Lever 120 is rotated to a position which results in engagement of leg 122 in notch 98. This prevents rotation of disc 96 and shaft 68. By the same token, when member 114 is moved to the position illustrated in FIG. 4, lever 120 is disengaged from notch 98 and shaft disc 96 and, consequently, 68 are free to rotate. Means for holding member 114 in the locking position for a limited interval of time and for automatically releasing the locking mechanism is broadly designated by the reference numeral 132 and includes an L-shaped rod 136 received through an aperture in the bight of member 114. Rod 136 extends downwardly and is rigidly secured in the top of a bulb 138 of resilient material such as rubber or the like, having a lowermost annular rim 140 adapted to sealingly engage a smooth surface 142 formed in upwardly projecting relationship from surface 26 of support 22. A bracket 144 secured to support 22 extends upwardly therefrom and pivotally mounts a lever 146 which is loosely received over rod 136 for maintaining bulb 138 in general alignment over surface 142 at all times. A handle or knob 148 is secured to the outermost end of L-shaped rod 136 and projects outwardly from a cover 150 which may be placed over the operating mechanism of apparatus 20.
Accordingly, when it is desired to lock the resistive components of apparatus 20 so that the device may be used for isometric exercising at the beginning of an isokinetic exercise, the user may push knob 148 downwardly. A slot 152 in cover 150 permits downward movement of rod 136 which also results in the swinging of member 114 to the position illustrated in FIG. 6. Bulb 138 is squeezed by this action whereupon a vacuum is created within the bulb by the sealing action of rim 140 on surface 142. The position of member 114 moves lever 120 to a position where leg 122 engages the outer rim of disc 96. When notch 98 is rotated to the location of leg 122, the latter enters the notch to lock disc 96 and shaft 68 from further rotation. The vacuum holds member 114 in the position for locking shaft 68 against rotation only until the restoring characteristics (an inherent function of the material and its form) of the material from which bulb 138 is constructed slowly expand the bulb to its original condition whereupon the vacuum is lost. Manifestly, springs 116 assist in restoring bulb 138 to the vacuum losing position and they continue to swing member 114 to its original position removing leg 122 of lever 120 from notch 98. This releases shaft 68 for rotation.
In operation, the user may stand upon the wings 30 and grasp a T-shaped handle 154 which is attached to the end of rope 66 remote from spool 54 by a releasable fastener 156. The cover 150 may be molded for convenient storing of handle 154 in the position illustrated in FIG. 1.
Upward pulling on the handle unwinds rope 66 and results in the turning of spool 54 about shaft 38. The ratchet means which couples spool 54 with the remaining drive components, namely gear 40 and sprocket 70 produces a resultant rotation of shaft 68. The clamping of members 74 and 94 against the fixed member 92 resists rotation of shaft 68 and therefore resists the unwinding of rope 66 to create the load necessary for conducting the exercise. The greater the force exerted on rope 66 by the user, the further levers 102 swing outwardly in response to centrifugal force. Consequently, the swinging of levers 102 increase the clamping force on the movable members with respect to the fixed member 92 thereby increasing the frictional resistance along the path of travel of the movable members. Consequently, the load throughout the entire range of motion during an exercise is automatically adjusted to the ability of the user to move the load at any particular position throughout the exercise. This insures that the muscles are conditioned by maximum work at all positions throughout the entire range of motion.
As soon as rope 66 has been pulled to the extent desired for one repetition of the exercise, the user may release his pull on the rope whereupon spring 58 automatically rewinds the rope upon spool 54. Apparatus 20 is thereby returned to a ready position for the next successive repetition. Obviously, apparatus 20 is designed to permit continued successive repetitions of the exercise as may be desired by the user for carrying out his conditioning program.
As previously explained, the user may preset the locking mechanism to permit isometric exercising prior to isokinetic exercises. The lock will automatically release after a predetermined interval of time (such interval being, of course, governed by the restoring characteristics of bulb 138) to permit movement of the rope following the isometric exercise.
From the foregoing, it is apparent that rope 66 is a component of a drive means adapted to be operated by the user of the apparatus and the drive means is responsive to the amount of force applied by the user. The drive means is operably coupled through mechanism including gear 40 and sprocket 70 to a movable member 74. Means including shaft 68 journaled in frame members 32 and 34 mounts member 74 for 360 rotation relative to a stationary, friction member 92, and for shifting movement toward and away from the friction member. Centrifugal force responsive structure which includes the weighted, pivoted levers 102 are mounted on shaft 68 for rotation therewith and, acting through the frustoconical discs 84 and 86, serve to move member 74 toward or away from the stationary friction member 92 responsive to the speed of rotation of the shaft and, hence, the rotatable member 74. The latter is, of course, shifted toward member 92 to increase the frictional resistance to rotation from the mutually engageable surfaces of members 92 and 74 when the force on rope 66 increases and away from member 92 to decrease the resistance force when the pull on rope 66 is lessened. Thus, the resistance to the force exerted by the user is correlated to the amount of such force. The rotatable member engageable with the fixed friction member 92 is, in the preferred embodiment, augmented by the rotatable backing disc or member 94 which permits a clamping of the friction member 92 between the members 74 and 94 under the control of the centrifugally responsive levers 102.
A carrying handle 158 is preferably provided at the top of cover 150 for permitting ready portability of apparatus 20. Further, the compartment 28 may, if desired, be provided with a releasable bottom member (not shown) to permit storage of accessory items useful in the conditioning program and a spare rope or the like.
The modified form of apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 is broadly designated by the reference numeral 220 and is constructed generally similar to apparatus 20. In this case, frame members 232 and 234 are interconnected by a cross member 235 which is rigidly secured to and may be integral with members 232 and 234. The members 232 and 234 are each provided with an arcuate corner 237 to pennit tilting of the frame about pivot means 239. It is to be understood that there is a pivot means 239 for members 232 and 234 respectively, each pivot means 239 securing each respective frame member to a corresponding one of a pair of upwardly extending brackets 241 which are secured to support 222. A pair of springs 243 extend between the respective frame members and support 222 to hold the frame members in the positions illustrated in FIG. 9. A pedestal 245 may be provided integral with each member 232 and 234. Pedestals 245 provide a rest limiting the clockwise swinging about the respective side pivots 239 as illustrated in FIG. 9. Spool 254 is mounted for rotation on shaft 238 which is journaled in members 232 and 234. It is to be noted that the longitudinal axis of shaft 238 is spaced horizontally and vertically from the horizontal axis of swinging of members 232 and 234 about pivot means 239. As a result of such spacing, the upward pull on rope 266 produces a moment in the frame tilting the latter in a counterclockwise direction as viewed in FIG. 9 and against the bias of springs An elongated rigid helical rod 247 is bent to complementally ride in the helical groove 264 of spool 254 and to project forwardly from the frame. A socket 249 carried at the outermost end of rod 247 receives one end of a marker 251 and a spring 253 in socket 249 yieldably urges marker 251 outwardly so that the point of the latter engages an indicator card 255. The latter may be removably positioned on the inner face of a swingable door 257 by means of a holder 259. Toggle means 261 releasably maintains door 257 in the position illustrated in FIG. 9 yet permits the same to swing about hinge means 263 to an open position whereupon the indicator card 255 may be removed or replaced. Door 257 may include a panel constructed of transparent material, if desired, and card 255 may comprise a sheet of tracing or otherwise partially translucent paper or the like so that any markings made on the paper are immediately visible externally of apparatus 220.
A rod 265 extends transversely of apparatus 220 between members 232 and 234 and is received in a bend 267 in rod 247. Means such as a cover 269 secure rod 247 to rod 265 yet permit the sliding of rod 247 longitudinally along rod 265. Rod 247 is configured to shift longitudinally of spool 254 when the latter is rotated. Such shifting carries the marker 251 therealong.
The remaining components of apparatus 220 are substantially similar to those previously described with respect to apparatus and need not be further described at this point. When the user pulls on rope 266 during the exercise operation', the moment imparted to the frame comprising members 232, 234 and 235 tilts the frame about pivot means 239. The extent of tilting will, of course, be in direct relation to the amount of force exerted on rope 266.
Further, the pulling on rope 266 will result in the rotation of spool 254 .which also shifts rod 247 and marking means 251 longitudinally of spool 254 during the exercise operation. This will result in a trace being marked on indicator card 255 which trace will reveal to the user the relative force exerted in pulling'the rope throughout the exercise operation. The indicator card,"so marked, serves to record for the user the magnitude of his exertions during the exercise and may thus serve to tell the user of progress which hemakes throughout the conditioning program.
A rope guide in the nature of a rigid ring 271 is welded to rod 247 and projects laterally from the trailing side of the latter in alignment with groove 264. The rope 266 is threaded through ring 271 as illustrated in FIG. 10. Inasmuch as rod 247 travels in groove 264, ring 271 holds the rope 266 in alignment with the groove to positively insure that the rope is wound within the groove without any possibility for one turn of the rope overlapping another turn. This cooperates with the nature of the groove itself in positively insuring level winding of the rope during repeated operations of apparatus 220.

In the days since Gaddafi set his mercenary death squads on the rebelling Libyan people, the seven-year-old pictures of Blair grinning at the glassy-eyed dictator have been used again and again. Even as he consumed his Libyan lunch of fish couscous with Gaddafi, Blair must have known there was a strong chance that those images would one day come back to haunt him.
And so indeed they have. But before you sell all your remaining Blairs - if, indeed, you have any left in your political portfolio - ask whether his rapprochement with the crazy Colonel was really the wrong thing to do in 2004. Rattled by the invasion of Iraq, Gaddafi offered to ditch his own WMD programme. Holding his nose and shaking the Colonel's hand, Blair helped to secure a commercial and strategic foothold in the Arab world for Britain, a partnership which played a part in the disclosure of the illicit Pakistani trade with the Middle East in nuclear technology. As a supporter of democratisation in the region, Blair hoped it would be no more than a pro tem agreement, and that engagement with the West would encourage the Libyan people to find their own voice - as they have. But in early 2004, this interim arrangement was the only deal on the table, and one it would have been foolish to reject.
The battering of Blair's reputation is not over yet. When Sir John Chilcot's inquiry into the Iraq War delivers its findings later this year, his effigy will doubtless be kicked around the public square a few more times. How psychologically easy it is to label Blair and George W Bush as a pair of trigger-happy Christian adventurers who exacerbated the plight of the Middle East; mired the West in unwinnable conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq; and were responsible, through these provocations, for subsequent acts of terror such as the 7/7 atrocities. Psychologically easy - and wrong.
Blair made many mistakes as Prime Minister, some of them grievous. But that has not stopped senior figures in the Coalition turning to him for advice. I am told that there have been periods when William Hague and his old adversary have been in contact several times a week about the Middle East. And the Foreign Secretary is quite right to take advantage of the help offered to him by the man who hammered him in the 2001 election. What Blair has grasped more fully than any Western statesman is the scale of the challenges posed by 9/11 and its aftermath; the extent of the disruptive, interlinked changes sweeping through the Middle East and the Islamic world; and the strategic danger of ignoring these geopolitical forces.
"The kaleidoscope has been shaken," he declared in October 2001. "The pieces are in flux. Soon they will settle again. Before they do, let us re-order this world around us." For many, the ambition underpinning that sentiment verged on messianic arrogance. But in one respect, at least, Blair was spot on: the horror of September 11 had shone a brutal light on a dramatically-altered global landscape in which a series of interconnected forces threatened bloodshed and instability.
Though a defender of multi-lateralism, he understood that the international organisations constructed after the Second World War - UN, Nato, EU - are no longer fit for purpose as presently constructed. So sluggish is the response of such bodies to emergencies that the UN Security Council's resolution over the weekend against the Gaddafi regime - including a referral to the International Criminal Court - has been hailed as a historic triumph. Resolution 1970 is fine in as far as it goes - but watch that apparent unity crumble if the imposition of no-fly zones or any other form of military intervention becomes an issue.
Remember, also, how Blair was sneered at when he insisted that democracy was a human aspiration rather than a Western oddity. How simplistic, how naïve, how unsophisticated: so said the doubters, not least the Foreign Office Arabists who watched Blair's crusade with clubland disdain. Yet if the Arab uprisings have one message (especially unwelcome in Beijing and Pyongyang) it is that democracy flows from a human instinct for self-determination rather than purely Western cultural traditions.
The flipside of this hunger, of course, is that newly-empowered peoples may vote for extremists. Watch the Muslim Brotherhood waiting to move front and centre in the new Egypt, inspired by the electoral success of Hamas in Gaza and of Hezbollah in Lebanon. Here, again, Blair was quick to spot the conundrum, and intellectually aggressive in addressing it. In his memoirs, he calls for relentless attack upon the political "narrative" that pits Islam against the West. This "narrative", says Blair, "should not be respected. It should be confronted, disagreed with, argued against."
In other words: the long haul. Western engagement in the region - some of it military - for decades, not years. A strategy able to withstand tactical setbacks. It's not a message many ever wanted to hear, really. But it happens to be correct. And one had only to hear David Cameron in the Commons on Monday to realise that he is edging towards many of the same conclusions as his New Labour predecessor: keeping his options open, urging Gaddafi to step back from the brink, but making it briskly clear that he will use military force in Libya if so compelled. He won't thank me for saying so but the PM sounded to me like the heir to Blair.

Originally posted on Vikings Digital Diaries | Last updated 1/23/13
No, silly, not a DALLAS Cowboy (Although I wouldn't really mind if he was), I'm talking about a real Cowboy. A Western, gun totin', cowboy boot wearing, Django Unchained lookin', steer wrastlin' Cowboy. Jerome Simpson, Minnesota Vikings receiver (for the time being, anyway) has developed a surprising affliction for the rustic wear. And I have no real idea why. These photos all come from his Instagram account, where he's certainly shown an appreciation for flair and randomness. It's not Michael Beasely level randomness, but it's still enough to make me like him as a person probably a lot more than I ever have as a football player. Dropped passes anyone?! As best I can tell, this all started about a week ago when Jerome went shopping for the outfit you see below: A week ago would still put this new Cowboy fascination past when the movie Django Unchained was released, which began (rekindled post-Blazing Saddles?) the Black Cowboy phase. At least in Minnesota. I'm pretty sure there's tons of black guys who are Cowboys all over the world, but I would posit it to be a rarity in Minnesota. But Jerome hits the ground with spurs clicking, giving the thumbs up with his tight jeans, big ass belt buckle, decorated Cowboy shirt, big ass Cowboy hat, and some shades at night just to look like a boss. He followed this picture up with an appearance in the same outfit a couple days later at a Timberwolves game, so yes, Jerome went out in public like this, which makes me like him a whole lot more: I can't get exact details on the belt buckle, but the floral print on the shirt is absolutely top notch. One Cowboy outfit wasn't enough, though. Jerome apparently wanted more, so the next day (according to Instagram photo post dates) he hit the outfitters once more looking for the next, best gitty up. First, he went all blue denim, as you saw in the header photo. It's not bad, but it doesn't hold a candle to the other option he tried: Has anyone ever regretted wearing red pants? I think not. And so that's where we're left, with a grip of photos of Jerome Simpson in Cowboy outfits, and no reason to know why. At least none that I know. If you DO know, please share in the comments. And even if the Minnesota Vikings decide not to re-sign him next year (you could make arguments both ways, I suppose, depending on the price tag), just be happy that we have these glorious images occurring under our watch.

Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
If your teenager has a bunion, chances are he or she is wearing shoes that are too tight, with a narrow toe box and/or with an elevated heel. (Girls are three times more likely than boys to get adolescent bunions).
Although bunions can be an inherited condition that occurs in families, shoes that are too small are the primary cause of bunions and other disabling foot problems such as corns, calluses and hammertoes. An underlying neurological disorder, such as cerebral palsy, can also predispose a child to developing bunions.
The symptoms of adolescent bunions are as follows:
The symptoms of bunions may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
An evaluation should be performed by a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon will want to take a medical history and will perform a very careful physical examination. This will involve observing your child's
The surgeon will also want to know what kind of shoes your child wears and what types of shoes most aggravate the symptoms. He or she will try to determine whether any pain caused by the bunion is due to specific activities and whether the bunion is causing any functional limitations.
X-ray imaging may be used to help determine the extent of the damage and deformity of the toe joint.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

The European Parliament is setting a dangerous precedent for EU legislation by ignoring scientific advice on genetically modified crop varieties, the NFU has warned.MEPs have backed a report, based on proposals from the European Commission (EC), which would allow Member States to disregard advice from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and ban the cultivation of GM crops for non-scientific reasons, such as socio-economic factors. Dr Helen Ferrier, NFU chief science and regulatory affairs adviser, said the MEP report contained a variety of measures that would not only threaten the single market but also seriously hinder progress towards sustainable agriculture in the EU.'The measures proposed could have a serious and detrimental consequence for farmers, consumers and scientists on all sides of the GMO debate,' said Dr Ferrier. 'We are disappointed that MEPs have decided to act according to emotive and political agendas rather than robust scientific evidence. This stance could discourage scientific research and investment in the EU which are crucial for sustainable agriculture. This is not the way to mend a dysfunctional regulatory process. 'Many MEPs have expressed a fear about the co-existence of GM crops alongside non-GM crops. Of course there needs to be a strong legal framework for approvals and effective co-existence measures to allow GM and non-GM systems to operate successfully together. However, this must be based on sound science and market mechanisms to allow farmers the choice over which crops to grow.'Farmers need all the tools available to them to contribute to 'sustainable intensification'. With the world population set to grow to nine billion by 2050, Europe must be in a position to contribute towards global food security. 'We believe a common authorisation procedure with common evaluations of health and environmental safety will best serve EU farmers, consumers and the environment.'Dr Ferrier also welcomed the recent and long-awaited statement of the UK Government's policy on GM crops in England.'In line with the NFU's biotechnology policy the Government says decisions to authorise GM crops must be science-based. It says there must be choice for farmers and consumers and recognises there are benefits in using GM technology in agriculture. It confirmed that the UK is not in favour of the EU proposal. 'There are no quick fixes but we will continue to work with the Government and through our Brussels office to get these messages across,' she said.

Prologue ~ She pulled the triggerMature
Mirian is not your average girl. With a drug-dealing Father, and 'pet' keeping brother. She is anything but average. She is a smart-mouthed, gun weilding, fiery young woman with the looks to match. For her it would be a cold day in Hell before anyone got the better of her.
Stephanie is a girl with scars. Not knowing a day without bruises given to her by her own Father, she is obediant, submissive and would go far to avoid a beating.
Mirian and Stephanie are lovers. Fighting through each other
The long corridor was dark. So very dark, that the young girl tripped and stumbled as she made her way down it. Using the cold, stone wall to guide her towards the Masters personal room. It had been a while since she had been summoned, and though the girl had no idea of the time. She knew, judging by the lack of light filtering from the automatic lamps on the ceiling, that she had taken far too long. Fear making her move faster, causing her to trip more, and her breathing to become ragged and uneven.
Step after step, the girl kept on. Her mind telling her to move faster, to get there quicker. Her body screaming for her to run away, find a safe place and stay there.
The child felt her hand brush a new texture, one that was not stone. Wood, she remembered, that's what it was; wood. Darla had told her that, Darla had taught the girl many things. Not that it would do much good. Not if Master had his way. The boy who had informed the servant girl she was wanted, had described Master as furious, said that she was in for it. The girl did not know what that meant, that she was 'in for it' but she knew enough to realise it was not good. It never was when Master was angry.
The girl searched for a handle on the wooden door she had found. She did not dare knock, the noise would only serve to anger the Master further. The handle located, she opened the door slowly, dreading what she might see. She had been expecting to find only Master in his bedroom, that he would do bad things to her again. Painful things. Then send her away again. However, as her eyes adjusted to the sudden light that spilled into the corridor from the Masters room, the young servant girl found her expectations to be, thankfully, incorrect. There was somebody else in the room, a girl, who had never looked so livid in her life.
"You can't be serious Father! You treat them like slaves, what do you expect me do, let them starve?" Mirian was more than furious, but even so, the young girl could hear an undercurrent of fear in the Masters Daughters voice.
"Yes. Yes I would." Master seemed to notice the girl for the first time, and drew Mirians attention as he beckoned her closer. The servant girl obeyed, more out of habit than anything, but did not miss the look of horror on Mirians face, the girl did not allow it to show on her own that she'd noticed. She wasn't sure getting Mirian into any more trouble than she was already in would be very beneficial to herself, or any of the other servants. A gun, small black and deadly, appeared in Masters hand, his shirt sliding back down to hide the holster it had been sitting in. The man fondled the gun, almost affectionately as Mirian eyed it longingly. She did not want the gun. She needed it, in her head she could see herself pulling the trigger, the bullet flying through the air, and entering her Fathers head. This image quickly disappeared at her Fathers next words, her eyes filling with dread.
"Shoot her." Mirians head snapped up, her mouth forming into an 'o' as she shook her head, her eyes flicking between her Father, the gun, and the servant girl, who still stood where she was, watching the entire exchange with wide eyes. The girl knew her life was in Mirians hands now, that her next actions would determine the girls fate. The child did not fear the prospect of death, instead, she welcomed it. In her mind, nothing could be worse than the world she lived in now. Where she knew nothing of who she was before she was taken to this Godless place, not even her own name, and where she was treated like nothing but dirt beneath the Masters shoe.
"I can't shoot her Father, not her." The resignation in Mirians voice showed how, regardless her words, she knew her Father would get his way. Either she shoots the girl, and she died a quick, painless death, or her Father does, and the poor child would die the same way she had lived. Painfully.
"You can, and you will." The handgun was transferred from the Masters hold, strong, confident, and deadly, to Mirians own, softer, more hesitant hold. Mirian held the gun as if it were foreign, as if she had never before held one. Never shot one.
As if she had never before killed.
An apologetic look crossed Mirians face as she looked up from the gun, to the servant girl, as if seeing her for the very first time. 'I'm sorry' she mouthed as the gun was lifted into the air, the black metal cool and familiar in Mirians grip as it tightened around the object. The pressure needed to set the gun off was basic knowledge in her mind, she knew how to shoot the gun, and she knew how to hold it, to aim it.
She pulled the trigger.

Chapter One [VII]
"You won't be in this family forever, Aoife, dear. What about a career? Or do you want to be idle all your days?"
Aoife blushed. "I'm sorry, Uncle. But I'm at such a loose end at the moment. I don't want to go to university at all. I want to be an artist, which I can do fine at home. But it's such a chancy profession. My parents have enough money to do what they do, but I just don't know about myself."
"You could take something up, if it was just temporary, just to earn a little. But there isn't any need at the moment. I'm sorry. I'm just a silly old worrier."
"I really don't know. I could get a part-time job in a shop, but it would take half an hour to cycle to the nearest shop in any case, and I can't drive the car."
"I'll teach you when we get back, if you like. I should have done it years ago, but it never crossed my mind." He caressed his chin, as men do when they check for stubble. "Anyway, you have all summer to think about it."
"That's not leaving troubles behind, although I quite see that I really must do something with my life, and not be relying on you forever. I just can't go away, though, and leave you to cope with the family alone, Uncle."
"That's sweet of you, dear, but if it happens, I'll just cope. Who knows? You may meet that someone special and be married before Christmas."
"At nineteen, Uncle? That's just a bit young, I think."
Sir Humphrey smiled warmly at she who had become his help and standby these past three years, and Aoife blushed again, uncomfortable under astute scrutiny.
"Dymmie and I were married when she was only just twenty, though Rob didn't arrive until she was twenty-seven, I will admit. And it was another ten years until Daniel came along."
Aoife bobbed her head, and remembered the remainder of the washing up.
"Anyway, that's all I wanted to know. Thank you, Uncle Humph," she said with a sweet smile, long legs striding from the mantelpiece as she cast a final pensive glance at her aunt's peaceful image, and closing the door again with a soft click.
Sir Humphrey shook his head. She was young in age, yes. But numbers weren't everything. Mentally she was far older than her cousin Robert, who was twenty-three years old. In three years she had had to grow up by a vast scale factor, take over the whole house, work for her A-levels and keep up her own artistic impulses in her free time. Running a household took time, consideration, care and tact, and these things Aoife had developed so well. It was plain that she was born to be a housewife – but for all that, Sir Humphrey hoped he would not lose her just yet.
The clock chimed six, reminding him of his duties and the fact that he had to start packing for Saturday. He could safely leave most of it to Aoife herself, but there were certain things he must be responsible for, such as lifting the cases from the attics and chasing Daniel to sort his clothes from the creased piles adorning his bedroom. Two months was a long time, and it would probably be necessary to send a proportion of cases to the continent in advance to ensure that they arrived safely. The plan consisted of flying to Salzburg and drive to Pertisau, and to do that they needed as little luggage as possible. Perhaps they could engage a luggage company.
He raised himself slowly to his feet with a resigned sigh. The children were going to school tomorrow for their last day that year. There was a good deal to be done.
