BRABUS magic on the SLS AMG
Content provided by BenzInsider.com
Lots of carbon fiber makes for a really lightweight car. And for something's that's already lightweight and has supercar performance, the SLS AMG might seem an unlikely candidate for modification. But not for Brabus. They came up with their very own take on what an SLS AMG should be, and that's lighter, and faster, anywhere.
But first they had to make it more aerodynamic and had to tune its
suspension. For that they added loads of carbon fiber components, ultra
light forged alloys, Ride Control suspension, titanium exhaust system
with bypass gate, and of course, for their final touch, their very own
brand of Brabus leather.
The kind of carbon fiber they used is comparable to the type in use
in Formula 1. They design each aerodynamic component using their very
own wind tunnel (hard core stuff). Of course, for the discerning
customer, they'll be happy to match these components with your SLS AMG's
The Brabus spoiler up front reduces lift at high speeds to give you
all the confidence of a Formula 1 driver. The host of air inlets and
outlets makes your SLS AMG a living, breathing hotrod. Of course, you
won't mind a little flair with lighted Brabus letterings on your door
sills. It'll help take the edge off as you master the Ride Control
system of 20 and 21 inch wheels.
Finally, the engine–the original 6.3-liter V8 is now getting its
finishing touches. You'll just have to wait and see how this baby fares
on the open road. Hell, to hear it's titanium exhaust is enough to make
the hairs on the back of your neck stand.

iConquer is an addictive game of world conquest, played by 1 to 6 players. The object of the game is to conquer the world by occupying all 42 countries on the map. It features artificial intelligence algorithms to set the player up against formidable computer opponents with six AI "personalities" to choose from. It also supports network play, a powerful help system with detailed information on each stage of the game along with tips and strategies, customizable strategy play, and gorgeous graphics.
|Games/Entertainment Turn Based Strategy
|Operating Systems
|Mac OS X
Release Notes: This release adds plugin support for custom maps and personalities. Network play was vastly improved. Many new network-related features were added. Japanese, Icelandic, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Spanish translations were introduced.
Release Notes: This version fixes bugs where the program would hang when opening a saved game or undoing a turn, a problem where the animation speed was reset when starting a new game, and some issues with the contextual menu when placing armies. Players can now turn in cards after placing armies and before attacking, can advance armies after eliminating another player and before turning in cards, and can turn in two sets of cards if two of the cards are wild cards. Support for Dutch and Italian were also added.
No changes have been submitted for this release.
I didn't think that the game was a bit to easy to beat. I have had some success with setting everybody to unpredictable, and a few on cheater. More computer players! Then again I have been playing risk since the mac plus was new on the computer. Just a thought good reproduction.

I've seen many videos on youtube of people showing their kit and alot seem to use what they term as a 'ground cloth'.... I was wondering how many of you use one of these and maybe why?
I use a piece of plastic just big enough for my butt so it doesn't get wet when I sit down. Could this be one of these ground cloths?

As we face the third millennium, spirituality commands more and more attention - from individuals, families, communities, and even the media. From urban church congregations struggling to meet the challenges of changing neighborhoods and social issues to modern worshippers choosing ancient doctrines and rituals, Americans are searching for answers to their spiritual questions. Do we still believe in miracles? Does heaven exist? Can we find new strength in the mysticism and traditions of the past? And, with this freedom, are we more tolerant than ever before?
A series of articles from Time magazine explores these fascinating questions of faith and uncovers what it is that we believe, including: "The Message of Miracles", "Does Heaven Exist?", "The New Testament's Unsolved Mysteries", "The Gospel of Diversity", "God of Our Fathers", "Kingdom Come", "Pop Goes the Kabbalah", "Buddhism in America", "The Lure of the Cult", "Finding God on the Web", and "Other Faiths, Other Visions".

The New Science of Sanitation and the
Proere I Haa Mat! e England and
America gold to Lead In Contributions
to This Advancement.
"Water, air and cleanl neas are the chief
articles of my phar macopce ia," said Napoleon.
These trite words practically cover the entire
cope of sanitary science. To eliminate from
the air smoke and noxious gases, to remove
from the water supply delt terious substances,
and to dispose of f cecal and refuse matter so
as to minimize annoyance md the possibility
of breeding contagious di -eases is one of the
greatest problems of the aire. How best to do
this is the question that sanitary science pro
poses, and on the fullnas and correctness
with which this question it answered depends
more of the well being and prosperity of a
community than the casual observer is wont
to think.
GLORIOUS WORK OF SAfTTART RCIKNCK.
Sanitation is a matter not less of finance
and economics than of personal comfort, con
venience and longevity. Vtaat health is, as a
rule, the measure of usefulness, and, other
things being equal, of waes, needs no proof.
That good sanitary conditions rank with com
mercial facilities as one of the chief factors in
the growth of cities, and that unsavory or
unhealthy neighborhood in a city are de
pleted of population or turnodover to the
poorer classes who have nc alternative but to
endure wbat others shun, is a matter of com
mon observation. The pre"alence of sickness,
and especially contagious c iseases, where san
itary requirements are not observed, the lack
of thrift and enterprise in such localities, and
the kinship of moral filth with unsanitary
conditions of person, havo been themes for
innumerable lectures and homilies. Wher
ever sanitary science has made strenuous ef
forts to improve the physi. -al conditions of a
locality there have resulted less prevalence of
disease, a gradual reduction of mortality, es
pecially of infants, great r prosperity, and
more marked longevity, and even the spirit
ualizing of tbe masses has advanced as de
fects in material surrou idings have been
remedied. It would seem hat such common
place matters as ventilation, light, plumbing,
heating and sewerage in hort, good or bad
sanitary conditions are more intimately
connected with the evils and excellences of
our cities than are many other things to
which more attention is given.
"Sanitation is a new sci nee," said a civil
engineer who was asked to give an outline of
recent Improvements in sanitation. "It Is
only within the last fifty or sixty years that
public attention has been directed to the need
of improved methods an 1 contrivances far
the purposes of health and convenience in the
construction of buildings. Until a compara
tively short time ago ventilation was con
spicuous by its absence, an 1 light was almost
equally disregarded. Ad iuate water supply
is a subject whose import in ce be- -n to be
felt, so to speak, but yesterday. London,
for instance, has not long i bandoi. ts wells
and cesspools for a systenof water works
and sewerage. How the treat cities of the
ancient world managed wit houtsuch sanitary
contrivances as we now have and survived Is
an enigma. Tbe crude makeshifts of early
times have been held responsible for Innumer
able plagues, disorders aid epidemics, and
the growing recognition that many Hiaana
of the present day are o:' germ origin the
direct result of contaminated or poisoned
air, water or food is doubtless what haa
made the last few years mare productive of
sanitary literature than at y other period of
"Strangely enough, England and America
have produced the bulk of sanitary literature
and evolved the best schettes for freeing the
life sustaining agencies of noxious element.
England and America pre bably stand shoul
der to shoulder in this respsct, the former, by
common assent, being superior in the con
struction of sewers and tie latter leading in
its sanitary fixtures. The publications of the
two countries bear witness to their respect
ive excellences, German n search, by tracing
out the germ origin of diseases, has rendered
signal service and been a stimulus to Ameri
can and English inventiveness.
"Throughout these latter years of develop
ment the influence of the t rcss has been very
salutary. The newspapers have rather been
detectives than advisers, but they have
pointed out defects and ommended excel
lences; they have shown the needs of the times
and often made suggestions that have been of
material benefit to the wor cers on these lines.
Still it has largely been left to the sanitary
journals to chronicle the new steps of Im
provement, and thus muca that is vital and
important on the subject of sanitation has
not found its way to tho general public.
What is more, it is to be doubted if the ma
jority of craftsmen who liave in hand the
building np and improvement of our cities
keep abreast of the times and profit by the
steps of progress that are constantly being
taken. Tbe masses are lamentably ignorant
or criminally negligent of tanitary measures,
and they are pitiably dependent upon men
who are not much better ini armed." Chicago

. Tbe two cardinal 'linn in conversation
are talkativeness and ailc nee. . , ; r-
Row the Dnk of Wellington Got Even
with Some Practical Jokers.
It may interest some of your readers to
hear a characteristic story of the great duke,
which was told me by a gentleman princi
pally concerned in tbe affair.
The Duke of Wellington at one period of
his life was rather' fond of telling a certain
pigsticking story, and persons who knew of
this weakness used to lead the conversation
so that the great man might have an oppor
tunity of relating his favorite anecdote. But
at length he became suspicious, and any al
lusion to the subject made him extremely
angry. About this time nearly sixty years
ago the duk was staying at Bel voir. One
of the visitors at the castle had never
heard anything about the pigsticking
adventure, and . was easily persuaded
that the duke would be pleased if he were
asked to tell his famous story. Accordingly
one morning after breakfast In the long gal
lery, when seated mot far from tbe duke, the
gentleman vuntoid to tell his grace how
much be should Ilka to hear some of his ex
periences of Indian sport At first the duke
was inclined to be seriously offended, but
looking round, and discovering from the
faces of the company that the inquirer
had been prompted, and that tbe re
quest was made in perfect good faith,
he quietly got up, and, drawing his
arm . through the gentleman's, said: "I
shall be delighted to tell you all you want to
know, but let us come to the end of the gal
lery, where we can talk quietly." A pleasant
half hour's conversation ensued, and it was
not till some hours later that the intended
victim pearned what a triumph he had
achieved over the practical jokers, and what
a quiet rebuke had been administered to
tnem. The Athenaeum.
No Use for Receptions.
The social phase of public life which so
many find the chief delight of high station is
not a source of pleasure to Senator Coke. He
does not feel at home at balls and receptions.
Just prior to the president's New Tear's re
ception, when it was the social event agitat
ing Washington people, a brother senator re
marked to the Texan:
"Coke, I suppose you are going to the re
ceptionf "Well, I dont know," was the reply. "I
ha vent made up my mind."
"Oh, you ought to go," urged the senator
to Coke.
"Yes," said the latter, "I suppose I ought,
but I bate those receptions, those crowds. I
dont find room enough to get about, and am
always in somebody's way, or somebody's in
my way. Now, the last time I was at one of
the big receptions I got off tn a corner where
I thought I was out of the way. Pretty soon
along came a lady dressed in style. She com
menced to bow and smile at mo, and though
I did not know her I bowed and smiled back.
There she stood bowing and smiling, and then
I noticed that she was pull!ng at her dress
that trailed over the floor. I noticed a young
fellow standing behind her, and so I reached
over and, shaking him by the shoulder, said:
'Why don't you get off the lady's dressf
Well, she looked straight at my feet, and, by
George, I was standing on her dress my
self." St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Something Needed.
The last six months' experience with alr
brakea on freight trains has shown conclu
sively that we must have less slack between
the cars, and that the master car builders'
coupler will soon have an opportunity of
showing what it is worth. This opportunity
will arise from the fact that railway compa
nies who have had experience with air brakes
on their freight trains in connection with a
link and pin coupler feel compelled, by reason
of tho serious breakages, to use some sort of a
close connected coupler. Something must be
done to reduce tho slack between cars or 'fast
freight service will become an impossibility.

Distress some ot the more common

not get well ot Itself. It
baling requires careful, persistent

efficiently. It tones the stomach and other
organs, regulates the digestion, creates a
good appetite, and by thus Sick
overcoming the local symp- - . '
toms removes the sympa-8CllCrl
thetlc effects of the disease, banishes the
headache, and refreshes the tired mind.
' I havo been troubled with dyspepsia. I
had but little appetite, and what I did eat
llAQrt distressed me, or did me
r!JaiT little good. In an hour
bum alter eating I would expe
rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling,
as though I had not eaten anything. My trou
blo, I think, was aggravated by my business,
which Is that ot a painter, and from being
more or less shut up in a Sour

the craving I had previously experienced."

Common Law S01E10: "In-Laws vs. Outlaws"
Over the past two weeks, Common Law has come to display an odd (and awesome) affinity for somehow transforming story concepts that sound like they should be awful into something kind of entertaining. The idea of Wes and Travis's respective former bosses acting as surrogate in-laws in their weirdo professional partnership was inspired and accurate. While this is a series that generally fumbles anything that smacks of realism, Common Law took this concept, one that many working stiffs encounter in real life, and made it its own.
Have you ever had the "joyful" experience of working with a superior who at one time held your job? Did he or she take the time, often and often unnecessary, to wax nostalgic about "the good old days" when he or she had that job and how great it was, dropping thinly veiled jabs at your particular methodology the entire time? Fun, right? Now double the "better than you" bosses and make them hate each other. Welcome to "In-Laws and Outlaws."
We got some new backstory this week: In the humble beginnings of their cop careers, before they were the dysfunctional partners we know and love today, Wes and Travis worked in separate departments: missing persons and narcotics, respectively. When a botched narcotics operation led to a pile of dead bodies and a missing informant, Wes and Travis found themselves working with their old departments again. It was a match made in hell.
Fred and Dan, mentors to Wes and Travis back before they were "Wes and Travis," were a dying breed. Dan, the "cowboy cop," was an outdated joke—hotheaded, impulsive, and clinging pathetically to his aging sports car ("Trudy") as a signifier of his coolness. He rebelled against pressure to take a desk job. Fred was the head of the missing persons department, a department that had outlived its usefulness and was in the process of being combined with another one to increase efficiency. Despite being generally respected due to his rank, Fred was still kooky and behind his back he was widely regarded as a joke thanks to his new age-y methods and dog constantly in tow. He was being forced into retirement.
Both "parents" saw an opportunity to save themselves from their unfortunate fates, to live vicariously through their "children." And like any child who only wants to make daddy proud, Wes and Travis were pretty loyal to their respective "fathers" for most of the episode. Neither one took kindly to the other belittling his mentor. It was sweet and it was understandable, even in a work setting, because here's the thing about those annoying mentors who just won't go away: More often than not, despite our occasional grumbles when they come back with their horror stories about their own time in the trenches, we appreciate the attention, the closeness, and the compliments that invariably come with those visits from the "parents."
Wes and Travis were no different, though like most adults who find their space being crashed by the 'rents, they eventually wanted nothing more than for Fred and Dan to go back to their respective offices and leave them alone. The case itself was fairly uninteresting, as most of Common Law's cases are, but the important part of the plot, the "breakthrough" potential of Wes and Travis being forced to play nice with their respective in-laws, picked up the slack. Travis referred to Fred as the "ghost of future Wes" but it's easy to see how either partner might eventually grow to emulate his mentor—odd quirks and all. The fact that Dan was every bit the "ghost of future Travis" went without saying.
However, the real breakthrough came not between Wes and Travis, but between Fred and Dan, who spent most of the episode vying for the right to claim the solved case as a victory for his respective department in hopes of baking up some brownie points and avoiding a desk job/retirement. It was their pressure on their underlings to hand over the arrest that put Travis and Wes at odds throughout most of the episode and for the sake of progress in their relationship, it was clear that neither Fred nor Dan could have it. Travis and Wes just aren't ready for that kind of compromise.
In the end, both "dads" accepted their new roles in the "family," with both of them realizing that one more big arrest wouldn't be able to save them from, well, getting old. The missing persons department simply wasn't viable as its own department and according to Dan, "the era of the cowboy cop" was over. They eased up on their kids and let them be their own people or spread their wings and fly or, you know, whatever cliché you want to go with.
Next week: Hopefully Common Law continues is trend of taking concepts that should suck and surprising us by making them work, but I'm not holding out much hope for the apparent shoe-horned romance between Wes and Dr. Emma that appears to rely entirely on Wes being a creep. Okay, writers, so you forgot that Emma is here to date somebody, it's cool. Give it a try next time, don't shove it into the second-to-last episode of the season just because it should have happened four episodes ago by now. You've got everyone cheering for Wes and Alex to get back together anyway. How many love interests does Wes need? He's not Travis, you know.

BOSTON, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Boston police said a bus driver rescued a bomb disposal robot that fell from the back of a bomb squad truck by notifying authorities.
The Boston Police Department said a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority bus driver saw the robot fall from back the truck Tuesday and pulled over to the side of the road to contact authorities, the Boston Herald reported Wednesday.
"It appears the rear door of one of the department's bomb squad trucks popped open when it hit a pothole or bump on Massachusetts Avenue this morning. One of the robots fell out. The truck has been taken out of service to check the locking mechanism. The robot was tested and is not damaged," Boston police spokeswoman Cheryl Fiandaca said.
"We are appreciative that a quick-thinking MBTA bus driver saw the incident happen and called the Transit Police. The department got the equipment back within minutes," she said.
MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo said the driver kept an eye on the robot until police arrived and then continued on his route with his passengers.

publishes this dispatch from its si>ecial
FRERE CAMP. Dec. 31.-It Is stated
the Boer bridge below Mount Hlangwana
has been washed away, leaving some of
the Boers isolated on this side. The In
tended night bombardment of the Colenso
lines miscarried yesterday. Thorny
croft's Horse and a force of mounted in
fantry advanced toward Tugela River.
The Boers discovered them, as it was in
tended, turning their searchlight on the
men, and opened a heavy Mauser fire.
Our naval guns, which Were to have
seized an opportunity to cannonade the
enemy's trenches, did not fire. They
waited to hear musketry, but that was in
audible five miles away on a wet and
stormy night. So, after undergoing much
discomfort and floundering about'lnmud
and water, the troops returned to Ghieve
Much the same fate befell a recon
nolterlng force sent in the direction of
Mount Hlangwana. Our squadrons of
volunteers atttr much difficulty located
a force of Boers, who are now isolated
south of the Tugela ranges. Byings*
South African Light Horse, with two
guns, proceeded to their assistance, but
were unable in the darkness to find the
way or effect a junction for an attack.
Men and horses stumbled and fell into the
water. They were out all night and got
drenched, but returned to camp in the
Firing continues at Ladysmith' and aIBO
now at Chleveley. General Buller, with
Harts and Lytteton's brigades, is at
Frere. The Tugela River is still high.
Last night our 4.7-lnch naval guns decid
edly worried the Boers. * Two rounds of
lyddite which were fired at 3 o'clock in
the morning caused them to leave their
shelter The place is now honeycombed
with trenches. The Boers' guns are splen
didly protected and screened. Kraals,
d.-MiKa.s and trenches have all received at
tenrion from the sailors' guns, which
alone have flred since December 15. To
day, while firing, the enemy were engaged
from their works facing Colenso practi
cing in getting ranees and apparently us
ing ciyinon and Mausers. The natives
state tho enemy have mounted ten cap
tured field guns against us.
The Boers use the heliograph. They
watch and warn their men to take cover
when our big guns are ready to fire.
Thirty-one Boer wagons ha v been seen
at the Junction of Little and Blc'Tugcla
Rivers. An attempt will be made to de
stroy them. Saas*

. LONDON, Jan. I.— This dispatch from
a special correspondent is published by
the Daily Mail:
Modder River, Dec. 26.— Christmas over,
we broke our rest by two reconnoissances
this morhlngr. One was three miles to
the right, where we destroyed two farm
houses, from which there had been occa
casional sniping. The other was on the
left. A squadron cf the Twelfth Lancers
and a company of mounted infantry ad
vanced to within 2500 yards of the Boer
position, when the enemy opened fire, dis
closing tho fact that they had advanced
their trenches. There were no casualties
except a few horses hit, yet for an hour
lively firing took place, In which even
the redoubtable "putt-putt," as the Vick
ers Nordenfelt is called, was brought Into
use by the Boers, and one of the 4.7-lnch
guns by our men.

BERLIN, Dec. 31.— Regarding the seiz
ure by the British cruiser Magicienne of
the Imperial mail steamer Bundesrath of
the German East African line, a high of
ficial of the German Foreign Office to
day, said:
"Silence must be preserved aX present
ebneerning the actual status of the ne
gotiations which have been begun with
Groat Britain about the' matter. Appro
priate steps have been taken, of which
Germany must await the result. The
matter is regarded by Germany as of the
utmost importance, because seriously In
volving the rights of neutrals."
This afternoon the Foreign Secretary
Count yon Bulow, conferred at the For
eign Office with his official advisers and
then reported to the Emperor. A Cabinet
meeting will consider the seizure.
,J l \ a , a ,*! s t rt^ d J n Government circles that
the British right to search is questioned,
and that In any event the British right to
stop passengers, whether they intend to
fight for the Boers or not, is strenuonely
disputed, as the vessel up6n which they
were 1b neutral and the territory to which
they were proceeding, namely, Delacoa
Bay, also is neutral. Redress, it Is as
eerted, will be insisted upon by Germany.
The German press to-day unanimously
condemns British action In the Bundee
rath seizure, which is characterized as
'an instance of gross insolence" and as
"calculated «gain to Illustrate the need of
a powerful Germany navy to render such
overbearance on the part of England im
possible in the future."
The .National Zeltung strongly argues
that England had no right to interfere
with the Bundesrath, and expresses the
hope that she has not adopted a flexible
theory regarding contraband.
The Lokal Anzeiger surmises that there
must have been a serious quarrel between
the commanders of the Bundesrath and
the Magiclenne before the latter officer
"overstepped his prerogative In carrying
off the steamer," and expresses the hope
that Germany will "speedily enforce the
release of the vessel."
Even the moderate Vosslsche Zeitunn;
calls the proceeding "characteristic Eng
lish Insolence," and adds that "the whole
attitude of the English before Delagoa
Bay provokes a general protest.".
It Is announced that the German pro
tected cruisers Condor and Schwulbe are
now on their way to Delagoa Bay.
CAPE TOWN,- Dec. 28.— The colonial
authorities are using every precaution to
prevent an Insurrection on the part of the
disloyal Dutch in Cape Colony and to
suppress a rising if one should occur.
Everywhere the British colonists are be
ing organised into home guards, drilled,
armed and ready to act in their respective
localities should armed Dutch colonials
rather. The theory is that the British
home-staying colonials should be fully
prepared to cope with the Dutch colonials
without the aid of regulars.
The alertness of the British makes uni
ted action on the part of the pro-Boer
residents difficult. Unable to act openly,
they slip away singly or in small groups
to Join the enemy's forces. The authorities
have been informed of many centers of
agitation, which it is considered undesir
able to particularize, but there is noth
ing like concerted action apparent over
the wide districts.
The case of Mr. Michan, solicitor to the
De Beors Company, who is accused of
treason, acquires Increased importance,
as he has been transferred from the cus
tody of the civil authorities here to the
military authorities at De Aar. His high
position causes the Dutch to watch his
case keenly.
Parties of Boers have been operating
some seventy miles south of Lord Meth
uen'B position. Boers appeared on Christ
mas day near the railway, about twenty
nine miles south of De Aar. A British
force appeared to engage. them, but the
enemy retired.
Another party flred Into a British pa

Thus Declares Camille
Special Cable to The Call and the New Tork
Herald. Copyright, 1899, by James Oordon
PARIS, Dec. 31.— The Herald's Euro
pean edition publishes the following letter
from Camille Flammarion, the eminent
astronomer and chronologist:
Every hundred years, toward the end of each,
century, this question of th 4 date of the change
of century Is discussed. I have before me docu
ments of 1799. 1«99 and 1599, which pose the
pi-oblem and turn It over and over. Again, a
hundred years hence, In the year of grace IPU9—
which, by the way, tvlll be favored by a very
fine eclipse of the sun, total In the neighborhood
of Paris on August 11, at twenty-eight minutes
past 10 o'clock In the morning— our great grand
children will put the s?me question. Again, in
fin de slecle newspapers of the period, there
will etill be distinguished rnlnds to repeat the
centuries' old confusion. .
Christ was born in the year at Rome 749, not
in T52, and died at the ag? Of 87, not 11, and the
whole Christian era la fcur year* too young. •
But It would certainly b« inconvenient to
change it, although thi« mistake has been
known for some centuries. It is sufficient If
people are agreed. It is clearly a matter of
There have also been variations in the date
of the beginning of the year, which has been
placed sometimes at January 1 and sometimes
at Deccrhberv 21. The year was shortened by
ten days in 1582 to bring the calendar Into
agreement with astronomy; but all this does
not prevent the last day of 1900 being the last of
the nineteenth century.
It may be seen by reading newspapers that
there are still dissenters in Paris, In the prov
inces and abroad. These simply complain that
the flirt year is called the year 1 Instead of the
year 0. but It was thus that the calendar was
drawn Up.
It la, therefore, on December SI. 19C0, at mlA
nlght. precisely, that the century will end, and
fall in its turn into an abyss* of the past to
t. ike room for the new century.

Valuable Concessions to
Three Powers.
fepeclal Dispatch to The Call.
. WASHINGTON, Dec. Sl.— The announce
ment that the extension of the foreign
concessions at Shanghai, China, has been
finally approved brings to a close a dip
lomatic controversy between Great Brit
ain and the United States and France
wh'ch at times became rather acute,
France taking the position at one staga
of the negotiations that the co-oporation
v."ith the British in opposing the French
plan of extension was an unfrlendl/ act
toward France. =This and other «llflet
env«is' have been happily adjusted, ac
cording to announcements from China,
which arc borne out by the information
of otlicialn here.
The controversy assumed an Interna
tional scope when the three colonies at
Shanghai— British, French and American
-—sought to extend their limits. Tne con
cessions are just outride of the old na
tive city and lie^along the rker Chang 1
Poo, near the point where It Join* the
Tang-tse-klang. They are chiefly impor
tant because Shanghai is the foremost
port of entry for foreign trade In the Chi
nese empire. The French settlement is
nearest the city and fronts on the river.
Next comes the British settlement and
then the American. Th» French desir*
was to extend its settlement so as to
take In a large area back of the old city,
including five American missionary Insti
tutions. The British Government opposed
this extension .-quite vigorously.
. The British .-plan of extension was for
an "international settlement," running
from the rear of the British concession
up to the native city. France in turn
protested apainst it on the ground that
she would be entirely surrounded, with
out exit, except by the river, the native
city or over British territory. The Unitrd
States approved the plan of an interna
tional settlement, as the American inter
ests were substantially similar to those
of the British, but the American attitude
did not include an indorsement of all the
contentions made by the Jritish. It was
to this course of the American Govern
ment that France took exception, on the
ground that it was an unfriendly act to
France. The negotiations, while assuming
no outward show of warmth, were car
.ried on with some briskness, Embassa
tlbr Cambon of France presenting the
French side up to a few' months ago.
The adjustment finally reached is satis
isfactory to all parties concerned. The
French concession is extended, without
Including the American missions. The
British and American settlements are ex
tended and to some extent merged in the
international settlement, but the British-
American extension does not so envelop
the French colouy as to place It in a
. The vnlup'a of the several concessions is
considerable, as the population of Shang
hai Is about COO.OOO. of which the greater
part Is in the foreign settlement. Here the
foreigners have- the right to carry on
trade and control property, and also have
their own courts, police and an organized
military establishment.

Filipino Plot for a Rising in Manila

To-day it developed that the plot In

in order to bring about international com

prepared for the attempt by a rumor cir
culated widely among the natives yester
day that Aguinaldo was in Manila and
would possibly lead the outbreak.
The American authorities, .having been
advised of what was brewing, prepared
for all contingencies. Captain Morrison,
who commands the troops in the most
turbulent district of this city, says he
does not believe an actual uprising will
ever occur, as the natives lack the reso
lution to take the. first steps In a move
ment that would entail fighting at close
Quarters with the American troops.
An American advance In Cavite
Province, south of Manila, Is expected
shortly. Reliable reports from native
spies show that there are upward of 2000
organized insurgents under arms within
a mile of Imus. They are strengthening
their entrenchments and possess artillery.
. At Novaleta the Filipino entrenchments
have been much strengthened since Gen
eral Schwan's advance. A thousand of
the enemy are in that vicinity and there
are 600 at San Francisco de Malabon.
From twelve to a hundred men will gar

part of Cavite Province, and the same
may be said of the towns in Batangas

Mrs. Jones, the Present Object of
Moore's Affections, Also Has a
Stormy Interview With
His Wife. "¦ " ' .
Special Dispatch to The Call.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81.— In a rage of
jealousy Mrs. Walter S. Moore to-day
publicly chastised her husband, who,' as
Chief of the Los Angeles Fire De
partment, is the best known individual In
this city. For some time Mrs. Moore has
questioned the fidelity of her spouse. To
obtain direct evidence the Fire Chief has
for weeks been under the surveillance of
private detectives.
For his known relations with other wom
en Mrs. Moore last spring administered to
her recreant husband his first public whip
ping. The object of Mrs. Moore's pres
ent concern is Mrs. J. Jones, who with
her husband, resides at 1975 East Second
street; Boyle Heights, and whom she di
rectly charges with undue intimacy with
the Chief.
On Friday Mrs. Moore appeared at the
Jones' house and demanded admittance,
but this was refused by the handsome
blonde, who had the place barricaded. So
great "was the- disturbance between the
two women that Mrs. Marx, a neighbor,
was made ill and fainted from fright.
At 8 o'clock this morning Mrß. Moore
went to the Jones cottage and broke in a
window, through which she gained access.
In the. bedroom Mrs. Moore found a skirt
that belonged to her own wardrobe. The
scene in the cottage can be imagined
when the women met.
Mrs. Moore, afterward drove down the
streets of Los Angeles In a buggy and saw
her husband opposite th« Nadeau Hotel
In conversation with Detective Steele.
When their eyes met Moore boarded a
car and Mrs.- Moore frantically whipped
up her team and kept pace with the car.
At Broadway and Second street Moore
Jumped from the car. Mrs. Moore also
took a'runnlng leap from her buggy, and
proved a better sprinter than her hus
band. On a vacant lot facing Hill street
they met. After the melee both were
covered with blood, Moore's face being
lacerated by the finger nails of the irate
woman. Flushed with victory, Mrs. Moore
forced the Chief to accompany her to the
Jonos cottage. Here a domestic upheav
al followed that is worthy of it Byronlc
Mrs. Moore, before her marriage, was a
Miss Lanfranco, the family being re
spected and wealthy. She also Is the
sister of Walter S. Maxwell, an applicant
for office under Governor Gage. A long

BERLIN, Dec. 31.— Despite the semi-of

* Prices may differ from that shown
We bought a Vax Mach 4 Vacuum cleaner about eighteen months ago and we were very impressed with its performance but put off giving it a review because over the years while some vacuum cleaners have started off well they have been consigned to the bin after eighteen months.Not so this Vax model which continues to impress with its power and ability to deep down clean.Its Vax for us from now on.
I bought this machine to use in the family home. I chose it because it was a good price (the price is even better now); and was designed for both hard and soft flooring.
It took at little while to put the pieces together, the instructions could be clearer. There are lots of different attachments which all fit onto the cleaner - although I only use one of them - the extendable hose and nozzle for the stairs.
It is a heavy machine, heavier than I expected - might be something to do with all the gadgets! To change from hard to soft flooring and vice versa you have to stop the machine, put the handle upright, change the dial at the front, and restart.
The extendable hose is excellent, previously I have had to carry the vacuum cleaner up the stairs and clean a step at a time - not for the elderly or infirm. The hose easily stretches up all the stairs.
This is the first time I have had a bag-less vacuum cleaner. It was easy to detach and hold over the bin, but took a bit of shaking to empty it, you also need to use your fingers to clean the filter - rubber gloves / soap and water at the ready! The suction is good and the collecting area is small which means that I find myself emptying the bag and cleaning the filter frequently.
One small thing, the handle does not easily click back upright; you have to ensure it is in place before you let go.
Finally, although I bought it from John Lewis, it is very clear on the accompanying paperwork that you must use the Vax helpline for any problems - and you must register on-line or by post for the extended warranty, which is free.
I would buy this machine again for it's excellent suction on both hard and soft floors at a very good price. If I had a lot of stairs I might think twice, it is heavy to carry up and down.
We bought this Vax about 3 months ago and although it was excellent to begin with there are some issues we have found with it. Firstly it is incredibly heavy. If you use the nozzle attachment (with the extendable hose) the elasticity of the hose is a bit OTT and does tend to topple over the hoover. I have often thought some poor old lady may end up with one of these bashing into her so be wary! Consequentially when it has toppled over it has broken several pieces off- namely one of the nozzle holders and the bottom clip for the lead which do not seem terribly sturdy. However it does come with a lot of attachements which are handy- especially the additional flexi-tube enabling you to hoover a whole flight of stairs from top to bottom. In addition the suction goes very easily as the filters get very clogged and are not very easy to clean. It does tend to retain dust and fluff and the suction now is not 1/2 as good as it was when it was purchased- particularly when you try to use the roller brush attachment as if the suction is not very good the brush does not revolve which renders it a bit useless. However Vax do offer a 6month free warranty which we signed up for but are yet to use. The suction does return short term if you give the hoover an exceptionally good clean after every few uses but it is not as good as some previous hoovers we have had. I think as long as it is well maintained it will serve a standard family home (such as ours) well for regular use and general hoovering. Saying that the suction is now still far better than previous hoovers we have owned and i would therefore recommend this product as long as you are happy to clean it often!

GPA is an abbreviation that often sends high school and college students into a panic-stricken worry. Grade point average definitely does play a role in college admissions but, it isn't everything. It's important to understand that colleges look at applications holistically, and it's also crucial to remember that your GPA doesn't define you. After all, look at you! You're a wonderful, complex human being. How could a couple of numbers possibly tell your story?
Understand where you're at. It can be hard to receive your final grades and see less than perfect grades, especially if that is something that you aimed for. The first step to accepting it and striving for better grades next semester is understanding why you didn't reach your goals. What was it that kept you from reaching your potential, academically? Not enough sleep? Too many extracurriculars? Find the things that held you back and deal with them. Maybe only work twice a week, or maybe you should stop going to meetings for a club that you don't really enjoy. It's important to be gentle with yourself during this process, be truthful, but don't keep guilting yourself.
Find out what you can do. Make a game plan and start scheduling better. Consider embedding some new organizational tactics into your life, Google calendar, a new planner. Learn what works for you. Ask for help if you need it, you should never feel embarrassed to ask for assistance from your parents, teachers, or even your school counselors.
Remember that this isn't the end Failure is not a permanent state. Just because things didn't work out this past semester, doesn't mean that they won't work out it the future. You just need to give it your all, and keep up with it. When you feel yourself losing motivation, remember your last semester, and how you'd like to go back and fix that. Rectify it by doing well now, by keeping your head above water. Also, please don't be too hard on yourself. Grades are not everything, and they aren't a reason to feel horribly about yourself. If you feel that you are spiraling downward due to stress about grades, please talk to your school counselors or your teachers, and they will do their best to help you.
At the end of the day, it's crucial to keep everything in perspective. One bad semester won't ruin everything. If you are worried about what colleges will think, keep in mind that an upward trend is very highly looked upon. Just keep on looking forward, think of everything to come and all the wonderful things that you will achieve. Good luck!
Let's Chat! How can you adjust your mindset around self-worth and your academic accomplishments? Tell us your tips here!

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn says the troubled launch of President Barack Obama's health insurance market overhaul creates a great opening for Republicans to forge gains in next year's midterm elections.
At a stop in Austin Friday to file his candidacy for a third six-year term, Cornyn also downplayed differences he's had since late summer with Texas' junior senator, Ted Cruz.
Cornyn, flanked by Gov. Rick Perry, called his rift with Cruz before last month's 16-day shutdown of the federal government "a minor disagreement in the family over tactics."
Cornyn said the GOP is a big tent where people can disagree.
"We've got libertarians, we've got social conservatives, we've got the tea party, we've got the establishment," he told 150 supporters at Scholz Garten, a legendary Austin beer and music hall.
Cornyn said what unites them is a desire to restrain overreach by the federal government.
"We need to say welcome, because we need to fight to keep Texas red," he said.
Maintaining GOP control of statewide offices, the state's congressional delegation and the Legislature has been a central theme of Cornyn's campaign.
So far, he's avoided drawing a major primary opponent. He has tried to stoke GOP activists' fears that Battleground Texas and other new Democratic groups -- and Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis' bid for governor -- will make elections here more competitive.
On Friday, Cornyn, who is normally low key, did a little strutting.
Without hedging, he spoke as if Obama can't possibly fix roll-out problems with his online, state health insurance marketplaces and changes to underwriting rules and coverage requirements in private plans bought by people who have no help from employers. Republicans need to prepare alternatives for "when this thing collapses," he said.
"We're watching this epic failure known as Obamacare crashing right in front of our very eyes," Cornyn said. Democrats who've stuck by Obama and his health care law "are trying to run for cover," he said.
The 2014 election is looking good for Republicans, he said.
"All of the birds and the promises the president made three and a half years ago have come home to roost now. And we've got to use this opportunity to win elections because you can only govern when you win an election," he said. "And then we can begin to turn this country around in the direction Texas has charted."
Perry said Cornyn's seniority and clout as Republican whip, the No. 2 post in Senate GOP leadership, are important to Texas. Even more important is Cornyn's support for federalism, and letting states experiment with solutions to problems, as the best approach to governing, Perry said.
"His conservative soul knows that," Perry said.
Asked if he ever considered challenging Cornyn, Perry said he had not. He said he likes being governor. Perry, though, is stepping down at the end of next year and may run again for president.
