The Berlin Academy and forgery
|The mathematician and the forger
|History Topics Index
Three of the principal characters in this story are Maupertuis, Samuel König, and Voltaire. They had known each other over a long period and all had been close friends at one stage in their lives. It was Emilie du Châtelet who had brought these three together. In 1739 Maupertuis became friendly with both du Châtelet and Voltaire, spending some time living at their home at Cirey. All three shared a strong belief in Newton's theories at a time when few others in France shared these views. It was at Maupertuis' suggestion that Samuel König taught du Châtelet algebra and he spent about two years at Cirey with her and Voltaire around 1740. Many years later Voltaire wrote in his autobiography (see for example [2]):-
Voltaire ... had passed two whole years at Cirey with König, during which he had contracted an intimacy with him ...It was from Samuel König that du Châtelet learnt of Leibniz's philosophy and this led to a dispute between the two after du Châtelet included a chapter in a book which König felt was his work. Voltaire remained on good terms with König and with Maupertuis at this time although later Voltaire and Maupertuis fell out.
The other major character in the story was Frederick II of Prussia. He had become king of Prussia on the death of his father in 1740. He was a man interested and knowledgeable about philosophy and aimed to create an Academy in Berlin to rival that in Paris. He began to invite top people to participate in his Academy and he approached both Voltaire and Maupertuis in 1740. It might be seen as rather strange that Frederick approached French scholars in setting up his Academy, but culture to Frederick consisted only of French culture. Frederick wrote and spoke French whenever possible and spoke in German only when it was unavoidable. To create a French speaking Academy in Berlin was then for him natural.
It was Voltaire who recommended Maupertuis to Frederick for the position of President of the Berlin Academy in 1740. On 12 May 1746 Maupertuis was officially appointed as president of the Berlin Academy and four years later Frederick persuaded Voltaire to come to Berlin too. However, by this time relations between Maupertuis and Voltaire had broken down. Buffon wrote in a letter dated 28 October 1750 (see for example [4]):-
Between ourselves, Voltaire and Maupertuis are not made to live in the same room.In September 1750 König had made a visit to Maupertuis in Berlin. They quarrelled during this visit but König apologised to Maupertuis before leaving for Holland where he was Court Librarian to the Princess of Orange at The Hague. This was not a serious quarrel, so when König visited Berlin again in 1751 and passed a manuscript of an article to Maupertuis for publication, the head of the Academy simply accepted it without reading it. This proved a serious mistake. Beeson writes [1]:-
König relates that he had been tempted to write against Maupertuis's exposition of least-action theory from the moment he first read it, in 1749. He refrained from publishing out of deference to Maupertuis.The paper which König gave to Maupertuis both attacked the validity of the principle of least action and also claimed that the principle was due to Leibniz and not Maupertuis. That König is wrong on both points is really irrelevant to the whole episode. The claim in the paper that credit for the principle should go to Leibniz was based on a letter supposedly written in French by Leibniz to Hermann and quoted in König's paper.
In March 1751 König's paper, approved for publication by Maupertuis, appeared in print. Only at that stage did Maupertuis read it and he was furious. He believed, quite correctly as a matter of fact, that the principle of least action was his greatest achievement. He set about discrediting König's paper. In fact he should have challenged the claim that Leibniz's letter showed that the principle of least action was his invention but he set out instead to prove that König had forged the Leibniz letter. He challenged König to produce Leibniz's letters from which he quoted and wrote eleven times to Johann (II) Bernoulli in Basle asking him to make Hermann's heirs hunt through his papers. König produces copies of the letters but the originals could not be found.
On 13 April 1752 the Berlin Academy met to essentially try König on a charge of forgery. Maupertuis was not present but Euler put the case against König. The main arguments put in favour of the quotation being a forgery was that König claimed the quotation was from a letter sent by Leibniz to Hermann yet no original could be found. Leibniz and Hermann did correspond, but in Latin, so the quotation was in the wrong language and, moreover, given the date suggested by König it did not fit into the rest of their correspondence over that period. König claimed that his copy of Leibniz's letter had been made from an original owned by Henzi, a Bern collector of manuscripts. However Henzi had been put to death by his political opponents who had burned all his papers so the original had been destroyed. The Academy was bullied into declaring that König had forged the quotation. Many members chose not to attend the meeting out of embarrassment and one of those who did said [1]:-
As Maupertuis has a monopoly of authority, and we are not permitted to speak out against him very loudly, secret bitterness is all the greater, and this causes great harm to the Academy.As yet Voltaire had not entered the argument, and seemed to know little about it at this point for on 22 May 1752 he wrote [4]:-
I am not yet well informed as to the beginning of the quarrel. Maupertuis is at Berlin, ill from having drunk a little too much brandy.König appealed to the Berlin Academy, asking them to reverse the unfair and incorrect judgement made against him, but the Academy confirmed its judgement of forgery on 8 June. Having little option, König resigned from the Academy. Maupertuis was certainly aware that everyone around him, including his best friends, disapproved of his actions. The effect on his health was to hasten its decline, but this caused him to fight still more vigorously against König. He wrote to the Princess of Orange asking her to threaten König with dismissal from his post of librarian if he continued to make his views public. Maupertuis did have one strong ally, however, for King Frederick chose to put all his authority behind the head of his Academy.
On 18 September an anonymous pamphlet A reply from an Academician of Berlin to an Academician of Paris defending König appeared. We now know that it was written by Voltaire and its publication marks his entry into the battle. A few days later König published a pamphlet Appeal to the public. In it he quoted in full the copies of four letters in his possession which he himself had copied from original letters of Leibniz owned by Henzi. He made a convincing case, but neither Maupertuis nor King Frederick were prepared to listen.
Shortly after Voltaire wrote in a letter to a friend [3]:-
Can you believe it, instead of being indignant, the King has hotly taken the side of the tyrannical philosopher. He won't even read König's reply. Nobody can open the eyes that he wants to keep shut. Once a calumny has entered the mind of a King it is like gout in a prelate. It can never be driven out.Frederick now entered the fray publishing on 15 October an anonymous pamphlet Letter to the public defending Maupertuis which, despite claims of anonymity, clearly indicated its author by having the Prussian eagle, the crown and the sceptre on its title page.
Voltaire wrote to a friend [3]:-
Unluckily for me, I also am an author, and in the opposite camp to the King. I have no sceptre but I have a pen.Indeed Voltaire used his pen to great effect. A peace treaty which he drew up, but never expected Maupertuis to sign, read [2]:-
All Europe having been alarmed by the dangerous quarrel about an algebraic formula, the two parties concerned in this war, wishing to avoid a further effusion of ink that all readers would ultimately find unbearable, have at last agreed to the following philosophic peace.Maupertuis had published Letter on the progress of science in 1752 and Voltaire used this as a way to attack him. The letter proposed a wide range of scientific research topics to be undertaken for the advancement of science, and advised on which areas should be most encouraged and which should be least encouraged. It covered exploration at sea, problems of navigation, exploration on land, scientific institutions, questions concerning astronomy, and medical problems. Beeson writes in [1]:-
President Maupertuis transports himself to the seat of his presidency and says before his peers:
- Having had leisure to recognise my mistake, I beg Professor König to forget all the past. I much regret that I made so much ado about nothing, and that I accused of forgery a serious professor who has never invented anything but monads and pre-established harmony.
- I have signed letters, patent sealed with my great seal, by which I restore its liberty to the republic of letters; and I declare that writers will henceforth be permitted to prove me in the wrong without being accused of dishonesty ....
The letter contains a wealth of suggestions, varying from the thoroughly practical to the downright fanciful, as must be the case in any proposed programme of research; many avenues have to be recommended for investigation, although it cannot be determined in advance whether some will be dead ends.Voltaire, however, used this as a way to attack Maupertuis. He wrote [3]:-
In the midst of these quarrels, Maupertuis has gone quite mad. You may not know that he was shut up at Montpellier twenty years ago, during one of his fits. His malady has returned, violently. He has just published a book in which he contends that the existence of God can only be proved by an algebraic formula; that everyone can predict the future by exalting his soul; that, if one wishes to discover the nature of human understanding, one must go to the South Seas and dissect giants, ten feet high. The whole book is in this style.Voltaire then published Diatribe of Dr Akakia which was a clever (and very unfair) attack on Maupertuis' views. Using his literary skills, Voltaire wrote the work as if it were intended to defend Maupertuis' reputation by claiming that some unknown young man must have written this rubbish and attempted to pass it off as the work of the great scientist Maupertuis. The Diatribe begins [3]:-
Nothing is more common today than for young authors who feel themselves overlooked to attribute well-known names to works that are unworthy of that claim. There are charlatans of all kinds. And there is one who has taken the name of a very illustrious academy to sell some very peculiar ideas. It is obvious that it is not the respected President who is the author of the books attributed to him; for this admirable philosopher who has discovered that Nature always operates according to the simplest laws, and added that she is always sparing in effort, would certainly have spared the small number of readers capable of reading the work the additional labour of reading the same thing twice over ...The Diatribe ends:-
It can be seen from the account that we have given that if these imaginary letters were written by a president, it could only be a president of Bedlam, and that they are incontestably, as we have said, the work of some young man who wanted to make use of the name of a sage, who, as we know, is respected throughout Europe and has consented to be called a great man.It was nearly 150 years before the Berlin Academy looked again at the disgraceful ruling it made against König by undertaking a serious piece of historical research to decide whether the quotation from Leibniz was a forgery. Gerhardt undertook the research in 1898 which provided a convincing argument that the quotation was genuine. Clearly the original letter was sent by Leibniz to a mathematician other than Hermann, and Gerhardt suggested Varignon. This suggestion is also impossible, as was shown by Kabitz in 1913, and although the evidence all suggests that the quotation is genuine, it has never been established who the likely recipient was.
It is now fairly well established that the Leibniz letters, owned the Bern collector Henzi, were themselves copies and that other copies of the Leibniz originals had also been made by the Bernoulli's in Basle. Versions of all four letters quoted by König in his pamphlet Appeal to the public were found by Kabitz in a collection of copies of Leibniz letters owned by the Bernoulli's and he published his findings in 1913.

That's a more aggressive response. Others see questions as criticisms of themselves or their talks. Both responses can frustrate your audience, and worse, make you look defensive rather than calm and knowledgeable.
I take a different view: Speakers should welcome audience questions, and I say the more, the merrier--and the more effective you can count your talk or presentation. So stop worrying and learn to love the Q&A, because questions mean:
- You provoked thoughts in your audience.
- They listened to you.
- You caught their imaginations, fancies or sore spots.
- They arrived with ideas about your topic and want to express them.
- You didn't overload your speech to the point where there was nothing less to say.
- People want to explore more about what you said.
- People think you have answers to something they've been searching for.
- People have knowledge to share and add to what you've said.
- Someone has the answer to something you didn't, and wants to share it.
- Some might be just starting out and need to know.
- Some might have old habits to unlearn, based on what you've said, and want to know how.
- You allowed time for inquiry, rather than filling up the time allotted.
- Someone's seeing a connection to another field, topic or focus, based on what you said.
- Some folks have real-life experiences that underscore what you just said.
- You asked for questions. Remember? They're expecting you to act like you meant it.
- You confused some people, and they want clarification, so you get a second chance to do it right.
- They want to learn what you're teaching, and repetition and discussion will help them take away the lesson.

The story
Karen has decided she'll never get married. Just look at her parents. All they do is fight. And now Karen's dad has moved out of the house and they're talking about divorce. But despite their fighting, Karen is sure they can work it out if they really try. Can Karen hold the family together-or is that really the best solution?
Judy says
When I wrote It's Not the End of the World in the early seventies I lived in suburban New Jersey with my husband and two children, who were both in elementary school. I could see their concern and fear each time a family in our neighborhood divorced. What do you say to your friends when you find out their parents are splitting up? If it could happen to them, could it happen to us?
At the time, my own marriage was in trouble but I wasn't ready or able to admit it to myself, let alone anyone else. In the hope that it would get better I dedicated this book to my husband. But a few years later, we, too, divorced. It was hard on all of us, more painful than I could have imagined, but somehow we muddled through and it wasn't the end of any of our worlds, though on some days it might have felt like it.
Divorce laws have changed since I wrote this book. You don't have to go to Nevada or anyplace else to be divorced these days. Most states have no fault divorce laws. And unlike Karen's mother in this book, many women have jobs outside the home, regardless of whether or not they're married or have children. Not that new laws or having two working parents makes divorce easy. It still hurts. It still causes the same fears and feelings Karen experiences in this story.
From Karen's diary.
John was my husband and I could make monkey faces like Karen's best friend.

Well folks, looks like I have yet to submit a tutorial on one of the ocean's largest creatures (besides the blue whale and whale shark). In this sweet vid, I'll be showing you "how to draw a humpback whale", step by step. The variations in the lineart was a lot of fun to make, especially for the underbelly and the tips of the fins. I recommend getting a few references from Google Images, so you have a sort of foundation to base your pose off of. This tut will give you a basic idea on drawing a whale's form. I hope you'll have fun with this one, let me know if there's any other animals you're curious about drawing! Toodles :)

The new 911 GT2 RS is simply the most powerful 911 ever built by
Its design combines the aerodynamic requirements of optimum downforce and maximum air supply. Its consistent lightweight construction makes it a pure athlete. Its racing chassis with excellent cornering stability gives the new 911 GT2 RS those crucial additional seconds. And its 3.8-liter, six-cylinder, twin turbo engine, producing 515 kW (700 hp), lends it sufficient authority to lead the field.
The design of the new 911 GT2 RS must therefore reconcile diametrically opposed requirements: top speed (maximum drag coefficient) on the one hand and race-optimized aerodynamics (maximum downforce) on the other. No easy task? Our engineers love reaching new heights, especially when things get tricky.
From words to actions: the powerful air intakes of the aerodynamically-shaped front apron ensure optimum cooling. The additional air outlet at the front of the hood assists the airflow of the central radiator, while providing aerodynamic downforce on the front axle by deflecting the airflow. But it's the wide, rear spoiler lip that makes the biggest contribution to downforce. All air vents are protected by titanium-colored air intake grills.
Motorsport technology is also present in the front wheel arch ventilation on the fenders, where carbon slats provide efficient ventilation. This reduces the excess pressure produced by the rotating wheels and thus the downforce. This so-called louvre – coincidentally? – resembles the gills of a shark.
A highly functional detail: two vents on the front lid. These so-called NACA air intakes are already used for the interior ventilation of the 911 GT3 Cup cars. On the 911 GT2 RS, it's the first time they have been used to ventilate the braking system of a series-production
Distinguishing features for ultimate performance: the extremely large side air intakes for the intercooling of the new 911 GT2 RS. The sideskirts are also wider than those of the previous model, resulting in a larger underbody area and therefore increased downforce.
The new 911 GT2 RS is based on the extra-wide body of the 911
The fixed rear wing in carbon-weave finish makes its own contribution to the overall impression of sporty performance. The wing uprights are produced from forged aluminium; the new side plates painted in the exterior color. A horizontal exclamation mark, if you will.
The two ram-air scoops on the trunk – the ram-air collectors – are also made of carbon and supply the engine with combustion air. The rear panels with large exhaust apertures are specific to the 911 GT2 RS. At the rear of the underbody, four fins increase the aerodynamic effect of the diffuser.
Perhaps the most striking detail of the new rear panels are the tailpipe trims of the free-flow exhaust system, which produces the characteristically throaty sound of the 911 GT2 RS. Technically functional and visually impressive: the catalytic converters, which light up red at high engine speeds and loads, and are visible through the open flaps – to anyone who manages to keep up with them at least.
In summary: ideal aerodynamics for the racetrack and a good drag coefficient for long straights. Harmonized in a plain-speaking design. How does the saying go? You will be judged by your actions, not by your words.
For the performance of a highly powerful sports car such as the 911 GT2 RS, weight is just as essential as the drivetrain. We have therefore weighed every component and permanently sought the lightest functional materials.
The evidence: consistent lightweight construction down to the last detail. For a power-to-weight ratio of just 2.85 kg/kW (4.63 lb/hp) – allowing outstanding performance. Argumentation: see below.
The hood, front fender, wheel arch vents, upper part of the SportDesign exterior mirrors, air intakes in the rear side panels and parts of the rear are produced from carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), as are many of the interior components.
The hood is also made from carbon fiber and contoured in the middle, as is the magnesium roof. This crease is not only a visual distinguishing feature of these lightweight components, but also increases their rigidity. Intelligent, lightweight construction using an aluminium–steel composite reduces the vehicle weight.
Another weight reduction that increases performance: lightweight polyurethane with hollow, glass microspheres and carbon fiber elements. This light yet extremely strong high-tech material has been used in the front and rear panels.
Inside, the new 911 GT2 RS also features lightweight door trims and door pulls.
For additional weight reduction, you could also part with the sound system or automatic climate control.
The new 911 GT2 RS is a high-performance beast, which takes its driver's breath away. And yet our developers have further increased the intensity, sheer presence and uniqueness of this exceptional athlete with the optional Weissach package.
The name alone creates a bond. Because ever since the Weissach package was first offered in a similar form for the
Visual appearance and lightweight construction form a real synthesis, with the particular focus on saving weight. For the first time in a series-produced car, the stabilizers on the front and rear axles are made of carbon, as are their coupling rods – for outstanding performance.
A visual distinguishing feature of the Weissach package is the central decorative strip in vehicle color on the carbon-weave finished hood and roof. It certainly lends the 911 GT2 RS its distinctive appearance. A highly visible, unyielding feature is the 'PORSCHE' logo on the rear wing.
From lightweight plastic to lightweight metal. The magnesium wheels painted in white gold make the new 911 GT2 RS fitted with the Weissach package approximately 40 lbs lighter – and also enhance its visual appearance. A double victory, so to speak.
The interior is also lightweight: The ultra-light shift paddles and steering wheel trim are made with a carbon-weave finish.
Isn't it impossible to use lightweight materials in every detail? No. In their search for further weight savings, our vehicle developers have even made the floor carpet trim lighter. Because every ounce counts.
Anyone can be unyielding. But whether they also make an impact depends on one crucial feature: charisma. The ability to lead and be ahead. The performance data of the new 911 GT2 RS show that many will follow in its wake – presumably because they cannot overtake it.
The source of its natural authority: the six-cylinder, twin-turbo boxer engine at the rear, four-valve technology, variable turbine geometry (VTG) with large turbochargers and newly designed charged air system, direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus. And transmission directly above the rear axle.
With a displacement of 3,800 cm3, the engine produces an impressive 515 kW (700 hp) at an rpm of 7,000. Maximum rpm is 7,200, and the maximum torque of 553 lb/ft is available from just 2,500 rpm. Sustainably unyielding – with sustainable performance.
A quick look at the speedometer. It goes up to TBA mph. A figure that will bring tears of joy to the eyes of every sports car fan. And also sets the tone for the top track speed: 211 mph Vmax. How does the new 911 GT2 RS achieve this? Quickly, of course. It ticks the acceleration from 0 to 60 mph box after just 2,7 seconds. It reaches the 124 mph mark after only 8.3 seconds. And after 22.1 seconds the 186 mph mark is water under the bridge.
The variable turbine geometry of the twin water-cooled turbochargers arranged in parallel directs the incoming exhaust gas towards the turbine wheel via electronically controlled, moveable vanes in such a way that the ratios of both a 'small' and 'large' turbocharger can be achieved. VTG therefore largely eliminates the target conflict of a normal turbocharger – and enables optimum aspect ratios to be achieved in every operational state.
At low revs, this results in a high turbine speed and thus a high charge pressure – for increased engine filling efficiency, greater torque and considerably improved performance. The torque curve reaches a higher level much earlier – and then maintains it. At high revs on the other hand, the full potential of a large charger can be utilised by adjusting the vanes – a lower exhaust back pressure for maximum performance. Thanks to the variable turbine geometry, the dynamic build-up of charge pressure produces an improved response.
VarioCam Plus is a 2-in-1 engine concept for adjusting the intake camshafts and switching the lift of the intake valves.
The system differentiates between normal everyday and maximum performance requirements and adapts to the respective conditions. The switching is undertaken imperceptibly by the electronic engine management system. The result: spontaneous acceleration, extremely smooth running and exceptional pulling power.
Compared to conventional intake manifolds, the expansion intake manifold of the new 911 GT2 RS has a modified geometry: the distributor pipe is longer, with a smaller diameter and the intake pipes are shorter, meaning that the air vibrates differently. Consequently, the mixture in the combustion chamber is cooler – and ignites in a performance-optimised way. Intercoolers additionally enhance this effect.
Instead of more air as in a traditional resonance intake manifold, cooler air therefore ensures improved performance. The result: improved engine efficiency for increased engine performance. And better fuel consumption even under heavy loads at at high revs.
To complement the expansion intake manifold, two large intercoolers at the rear of the vehicle supply the engine with cooled charging air. Under extreme conditions, the newly developed spray system sprays atomised water on the intercooler networks, allowing a thermostable charging air feed.
Maximum output is therefore maintained for longer, even at high exterior temperatures. The tank holds 5 litres of water and is easily accessible in the luggage compartment. A display on the on-board computer shows you when it needs refilling.
A 7-speed power demonstration: PDK, trimmed for maximum performance for the new 911 GT2 RS. With purposely short ratios and short, succinct gearshifts via the shift paddles. Seventh gear is also ratioed for sport and designed for maximum speed. The manual mode on the gear selector works as it does in our race cars: backwards to shift up, forwards to shift down.
Regarding the PDK technology: it consists of two half gearboxes mounted in a common housing. Two half gearboxes require two clutches. This double-clutch arrangement alternately connects these two half gearboxes to the engine via two separate drive shafts, depending on the current gear. When changing gear, one clutch engages and the other simultaneously disengages, allowing gear changes to take place in milliseconds, with no interruption in the flow of power.
Which has positive consequences – of course: for acceleration, overall performance and fuel consumption. The driving feel is more dynamic, the agility improved.
And the gear change itself? You can both hear and feel it. The electronic, GT-specific transmission control ensures faster, more spontaneous traction upshifts – and extremely dynamic downshift thrusts in combination with sporty, interim applications of the throttle. In PDK SPORT mode, downshifts are more aggressive when braking; when accelerating, the switching points relocate at higher revs. So you can really feel the upshifts – both physically and emotionally, of course.
Anyone who shies away from confrontation should stay at home. Anyone who doesn't tolerate a tough approach should drive a different car. However, anyone who not only likes to get up close and personal with the tarmac, but also with their endorphins, is in exactly the right place. Because the tuning and control systems of the 911 GT2 RS will bring you closer than you could ever imagine to Fascination Sports Car.
The chassis is designed to meet the high requirements at the limits of dynamic driving performance. In combination with specially-tuned chassis elements, the new 911 GT2 RS offers exceptional agility, maximum safety at high speeds and extremely stable roadholding.
The front axle uses a MacPherson strut suspension with helper springs and wheels independently suspended on the trailing arms and wishbones. At the rear is a multi-link axle with helper springs and subframe, based on the LSA concept (lightweight, stable, agile).
The height, camber and track can be individually adjusted for use on the racetrack, as can the stabilizers. For the first time in a
An optional lift system on the front axle lifts the front of the vehicle by 1.2 in – up to a speed of approximately 37 mph – thereby reducing the risk of hitting curbs, ramps or garage entrances.
Fitted as standard, the rear-axle steering with sports tuning combines performance and everyday driveability. An electromechanical adjustment system at each rear wheel enables the steering angle to be adapted based on the current driving situation, steering input and vehicle speed.
The benefit at low speed: the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction to that of the front wheels. This has the virtual effect of shortening the wheelbase. You can drive around tight bends more dynamically. The turning circle is also reduced to make it easier to park.
The benefit at high speed: the system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as that of the front wheels. The virtual effect of lengthening the wheelbase increases driving stability and thus agility, especially during rapid lane changes or overtaking manoeuvers on the racetrack.
This electronically controlled system minimizes the perceptible oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, particularly of the engine, and combines the benefits of a hard or soft transmission mounting arrangement.
A hard transmission mounting arrangement is best for driving dynamics, as it results in highly accurate roadholding. A soft transmission mounting arrangement, on the other hand, minimizes oscillations and vibrations, thereby improving comfort on uneven road surfaces, but at the expense of driving dynamics.
Our engineers have therefore adapted the rigidity and damping of the engine mounts to driving style and road conditions. This is achieved using a fluid with magnetic properties and an electromagnetic field.
During load changes and in rapid bends, roadholding is noticeably more stable, thanks to a harder transmission mounting arrangement. The dynamic engine mounts also reduce the vertical oscillations of the engine when accelerating or at full load.
The result: a higher, more consistent driving force on the rear axle, increased traction and improved acceleration. And with a moderate driving style, comfort is improved, thanks to the softer adjustment of the dynamic engine mounts.
This electronic damping control system actively and continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel – based on current road conditions and driving style.
You can switch between two sporty programs at the touch of a button. Normal mode is designed for sporty driving on public roads and wet race circuits. Sport mode is specially designed for maximum lateral acceleration and optimum traction on the racetrack.
PSM maintains stability even at the limits of dynamic driving performance. In addition to the anti-lock braking system, PSM also includes Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control (TC).
Sensors continuously monitor the direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration of the car. Using this information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction of travel at any given moment and initiates strategic braking of individual wheels to prevent you from deviating from your intended line.
What's so special about PSM on the new 911 GT2 RS: the regular systems interventions are highly sensitive and accurate – and can be switched off completely in two stages. For targeted, sporty handling.
PTV Plus is specially designed for the new 911 GT2 RS and operates in conjunction with an electronically controlled, fully-variable rear differential lock.
To actively control the differential lock, a number of driving parameters are considered. The result: increased traction, especially at the limits of dynamic driving performance, better transverse dynamics and significantly improved driving stability during load changes, in bends and when switching lanes. The system also selectively applies brake pressure to the right and/or left rear wheel. So brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel as soon as the steering kicks in. A greater amount of drive force is distributed to the outside rear wheel, thereby pulling the car into the bend, as it were. Steering is therefore improved and agility increased.
20-inch wheels on the front axle, 21-inch on the rear axle. In words: big, wide wheels, large tire contact area, great driving dynamics. In numbers: front 265/35 ZR 20 tires on 9.5 J x 20 wheels, rear 325/30 ZR 21 tires on 12.5 J x 21 wheels.
The new, light-alloy wheels of the 911 GT2 RS are painted in White Gold Metallic (high-gloss) and characterized by visible, recessed 'GT2 RS' logos on the rim. At this performance level, the central locking system goes without saying. The central wheel bolts are black and feature the distinctive 'RS' logo.
The standard Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) not only warns in the event of a gradual or even sudden loss of pressure, but also has a sport mode that takes account of the lower pressure of cold tires at the beginning of a race.
Motorsport technology as standard:
The size of the ceramic brake discs takes account of the performance potential of the new 911 GT2 RS. The cross-drilled ceramic brake discs have a correspondingly large diameter of TBA in at the front axle and TBA in at the rear – for even more formidable braking performance.
The use of yellow, six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers on the front axle and four-piston aluminium monobloc fixed calipers on the rear axle ensures braking forces that are extremely powerful and above all exceptionally consistent.
PCCB enables shorter braking distances, particularly in tough road and race conditions. Safety when braking at high speed is also improved, thanks to its excellent fading stability.
The crucial advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50% lighter than standard discs of a similar design and size. A factor that not only has a positive impact on driving performance and fuel consumption, but above all reduces the unsprung rotating masses.
This results in better roadholding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and a further improvement in handling.
Those who make clear statements also expect clarity. They always want to – and must – be in charge. This is especially true of the driver, which means having information available within seconds, precise ergonomics and high-quality purity when it comes to materials. Everything then, except questions.
The unique language of
In manual PDK mode, the digital gear and upshift indicators support an efficient, sporty driving style. And a multifunction display shows your progress, indicating boost pressure and engine power applied, as well as longitudinal and transverse acceleration (g-force).
The instrument cluster with a 4.6-inch color display constantly supplies you with data from the on-board computer. You can also access the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) data, as well as the stopwatch of the optional Chrono Package. It also provides information about communication and audio settings and displays the navigation system map.
The materials represent a clear, sporty design and maximum quality. They are dominated by red Alcantara?, black leather and the carbon-weave finish of many of the interior components.
Alcantara? is easy to grip and maintain and also washable. For this reason, it's mainly used in places where there is direct contact: on the steering wheel rim and gear stick as well as on the door handles, door armrests and lid of the center console storage compartment. The roof lining and A, B and C-pillar trims are also finished in Alcantara?.
Carbon-weave finish is used on the dashboard trim strip, center console trim and door sill guards featuring the 'GT2 RS' logo, for example.
A black leather interior with black Alcantara? is available as an option.
Motorsport-inspired gear changes – the GT2 RS Sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles enables fast, sporty gear changes, thereby making them even more direct and precise.
The Sports steering wheel can be axially and vertically adjusted by up to TBA in. The steering wheel rim is made of black and red Alcantara?, is easy to grip, feels comfortable even during sporty driving and features a trendsetting top center marking in yellow.
The standard equipment includes full bucket seats made entirely of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). As well as their sporty appearance and excellent lateral support, they are also height-adjustable, meaning that the full bucket seat can be lowered by up to 1.2 in. or raised by up to 0.8 in. The height adjustment is electric, and the fore/aft adjustment manual. The seats are upholstered in black leather with seat centers in red Alcantara? as standard. The headrests feature an embroidered 'GT2 RS' logo in red.
A combination of sport and comfort, everyday and racetrack driving: the optionally available adaptive Sports seats Plus, with leather side bolsters, seat centers in red Alcantara? and headrests featuring an embroidered 'GT2 RS' logo in red. With 18-way electric adjustment, these seats are ideally suited to your needs with regard to height, seat and backrest angle, fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar support. The side bolsters of the seat and backrest are also individually adjustable. For tailored lateral support when cornering and improved comfort on long journeys.

The schwa /ə/ is the most frequent vowel sound in English, so I can understand your concern with wanting to improve your delivery. If you use it appropriately in unstressed syllables, your pronunciation will sound more natural; such as the word above. Once you master the "a" sound in the word "above" ... substitute it at the end of the words that you have listed; and then terminate the syllabel with an "l" consonant sound. Practicing the schwa sound in the initial position of a word and isolating it in it's own syllable should give you the confidence to then use it in a variety of other placements with more ease.
Here is a good chart that shows where consonant sounds are formed in the mouth (such as the final "l" in your sample list). You can also see on this page that the schwa sound is a problem area for many peoples; so you are not alone.

text: Thursday, September 06, 2012 New in the Literature: Knee Osteoarthritis (Arthritis Care Res [Hoboken]. 2012. August 29. [Epub ahead of print]) Individuals with knee osteoarthritis, regardless of the involvement of 1 or both knees, perform and perceive their functional ability similarly, say authors of an article published online in Arthritis Care & Research. This suggests that clinicians need to consider other factors, such as how long the disease has been progressing or how functional abilities have changed, when treating patients with knee osteoarthritis, the authors add. The functional abilities of patients with symptomatic and radiographic diagnosed unilateral (N=84) or bilateral (N=68) knee osteoarthritis were evaluated with self-reports and performance-based tests. Self reports included the Knee Outcome Survey, Global Rating Scale, and Physical Component of Short Form-36; functional tests included Timed Up-and-Go, Stair Climbing Test, and 6-Minute Walk. Separate MANOVAs were performed separately for men and women to determine if perception (self-reports) and performance (functional tests) were dependent on the number of involved knees. No significant main effects were observed in functional performance between groups for either sex. Similarly, the perception measures did not differ between groups. In general, individuals diagnosed with unilateral and bilateral knee osteoarthritis both performed functional tasks and perceived their functional ability similarly. APTA members Joseph A. Zeni, PT, PhD, and Lynn Snyder- Mackler, PT, ScD, SCS, FAPTA, coauthored the article.

As it burst upon the press like a Hermione Granger spell, it's likely that you've all heard about Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling giving £10,000,000 to MS research (that's over $15 million, US). Most of you also know that Rowling's mother died of complications of multiple sclerosis. What you may not know is how broad a gift this really is.
Quoted in the London Daily Telegraph, the renowned author said that, as much as anything, she was giving back to the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, the city in which she has lived and written for many years.
The Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic at Edinburgh University (named for her late mother) will focus on MS as well as other degenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and motor neuron diseases.
With £10 million in "seed" money, the university will draw some of the top minds in the field to turbo-charge the field of neuroregeneration.
But then, Rowling got personal in her reasoning:
"I have just turned 45, the age at which my mother, Anne, died of complications related to her MS," she told the Telegraph. "I know that she would rather have had her name on this clinic than on any statue, flower garden or commemorative plaque, so this donation is on her behalf, too; and in gratitude for everything she gave me in her far-too-short life."
Many, actually very many, people in the world of multiple sclerosis --patients, researchers, and charitable organizations -- have quietly chided Rowling over the years for not giving enough, either personally or monetarily to the cause.
Unjustified accusations, in my opinion, as she has spent several years as Patron of the MS Society, Scotland (she recently stepped down from that post, citing organizational infighting).
No one should be "guilted" into giving money, time, or talent to our cause (or any other for that matter). It is our responsibility to show, by our actions and reactions, that ours is a cause worthy of consideration when it comes to charitable gifts.
I thank Rowling for a thoughtful and prodigious gift that will give back to her adopted city, to the world of multiple sclerosis, and to other mysterious neurological disorders.
Sounds like the perfect reason to go and visit Edinburgh in the very near future! Well, that and the whisky…
Wishing you and your family the best of heath.

Korean Language Resources
Part of living in Korea is actually learning Korean. It's sound silly to say this but if you talk to a lot of foreigners here, many of us have only a basic grasp of the language despite (in some cases) many years of living in Korea. The problem is largely due to the lack of actual classes. Which is ironic because many of the foreigners are here to teach in language academies. At any rate, there are resources available that make it easier to pick up the language. You just have to put in the time. **Click the title of each topic for a link and for more information** Apps Pretty much when you arrive or shortly thereafter, you will be able to get a smartphone. Here are a few highly recommended apps to help you get a handle on Korean. Duolingo – This is a great app to use either on mobile or desktop. It is a gamified language learning tool that can be used for many languages, not just Korean. It just lacks a speaking functionality. Memrise – Similar to duolingo, this app helps learners master Korean in a gamified setting. The style is a little different but the premise is the same. The speakers have a bit more of a natural...Read More

Fine Dust in Ulsan: A Guide to Protecting Yourself from Pollution
Let's face it, Ulsan has never been known as the cleanest city in Korea. Fact is that it has always been known as one of the richest, thanks to the many industries and factories that call this city home and because of that, it is also known as one of the more polluted. It has been stated that residents of Ulsan have a shorter lifespan than those living in other parts of Korea. However, recently the pollution all...Read More

[Author's note: the following is a re-posting of an article TheBlaze published last year in honor of Friedman's birthday. He would have been 101 today]:
For today's "top whatever" list, we're going to commemorate the [101st] birthday of Nobel Prize-winning conservative economist Milton Friedman.
And for those of you who are unfamiliar with Friedman, here's what you need to know: he rescued the U.S. economy from the clutches of President Carter's stagflation [i.e. rising inflation and unemployment] and he "saved capitalism," as the Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore puts it.
"Next to Ronald Reagan, in the second half of the 20th century there was no more influential voice for economic freedom world-wide than Milton Friedman," writes Moore.
"Small in stature but a giant intellect, he was the economist who saved capitalism by dismembering the ideas of central planning when most of academia was mesmerized by the creed of government as savior," he adds.
And like most towering intellects, Friedman was a font of pithy and brilliant one-liners. So in honor of his 101st birthday, here are our favorite quotes from Milton Friedman (with accompanying words from Moore):
"Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it."
Friedman was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for 1976 — at a time when almost all the previous prizes had gone to socialists. This marked the first sign of the intellectual comeback of free-market economics since the 1930s, when John Maynard Keynes hijacked the profession.
Friedman's 1971 book "A Monetary History of the United States," written with Anna Schwartz (who died on June 21), was a masterpiece and changed the way we think about the role of money.
"Governments never learn. Only people learn."
In the early 1990s, Friedman visited poverty-stricken Mexico City for a Cato Institute forum. I remember the swirling controversy ginned up by the media and Mexico's intelligentsia: How dare this apostle of free-market economics be given a public forum to speak to Mexican citizens about his "outdated" ideas? Yet when Milton arrived in Mexico he received a hero's welcome as thousands of business owners, students and citizen activists hungry for his message encircled him everywhere he went, much like crowds for a modern rock star.
Once in the early 1960s, Friedman wrote the then-U.S. ambassador to New Delhi, John Kenneth Galbraith, that he would be lecturing in India. By all means come, the witty but often wrong Galbraith replied: "I can think of nowhere your free-market ideas can do less harm than in India." As fate would have it, India did begin to embrace Friedmanism in the 1990s, and the economy began to soar. China finally caught on too.
"Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned."
More influential than Friedman's scholarly writings was his singular talent for communicating the virtues of the free market to a mass audience. His two best-selling books, "Capitalism and Freedom" (1962) and "Free to Choose" (1980), are still wildly popular.
Friedman stood unfailingly and heroically with the little guy against the state. He used to marvel that the intellectual left, which claims to espouse "power to the people," so often cheers as states suppress individual rights.
Here's an example of Friedman's unique ability to communicate free market principles to even the most ardent leftist college student:
And in regards to his standing for "the little guy," here's a brilliant video of Friedman explaining how social programs intended to "help" the poor can sometimes end up doing the exact opposite:
"I am in favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible."
I remember asking Milton, a year or so before his death, during one of our semiannual dinners in downtown San Francisco: What can we do to make America more prosperous? "Three things," he replied instantly. "Promote free trade, school choice for all children, and cut government spending."
How much should we cut? "As much as possible."
"If you put the Federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand."
While he questioned almost every statist orthodoxy, he fearlessly gored sacred cows of both political parties. He was the first scholar to sound the alarm on the rotten deal of Social Security for young workers — forced to pay into a system that will never give back as much as they could have accumulated on their own. He questioned the need for occupational licenses — which he lambasted as barriers to entry — for everything from driving a cab to passing the bar to be an attorney, or getting an M.D. to practice medicine.
He loved turning the intellectual tables on liberals by making the case that regulation often does more harm than good. His favorite example was the Food and Drug Administration, whose regulations routinely delay the introduction of lifesaving drugs. "When the FDA boasts a new drug will save 10,000 lives a year," he would ask, "how many lives were lost because it didn't let the drug on the market last year?"
"Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government."
In a recent tribute to Friedman in the Journal of Economic Literature, Harvard's Andrei Shleifer describes 1980-2005 as "The Age of Milton Friedman," an era that "witnessed remarkable progress of mankind. As the world embraced free-market policies, living standards rose sharply while life expectancy, educational attainment, and democracy improved and absolute poverty declined."
Well over 200 million were liberated from poverty thanks to the rediscovery of the free market.
Final thought: We can't help but wonder how Friedman would react to the policies of the current administration.
"It's a tragedy that Milton Friedman … did not live long enough to combat the big-government ideas that have formed the core of Obamanomics," Moore writes.
"It's perhaps more tragic that our current president, who attended the University of Chicago where Friedman taught for decades, never fell under the influence of the world's greatest champion of the free market. Imagine how much better things would have turned out, for Mr. Obama and the country," he adds.
And with President Obama's "government makes everything possible" ideology in mind, here's Friedman on the idea of personal and individual responsibility:

Tickets will go on sale Monday, August 12 at noon. Advance tickets are $25 through September 9 and are available at ashevilledowntown.org.

Oktoberfest features beer tastings from local breweries including Asheville Brewing Company, Catawba Valley Brewing Company, French Broad Brewery, Green Man Brewery, Highland Brewing Company, Hi-Wire Brewing, Lexington Avenue Brewery (LAB), Oskar Blues Brewery, Pisgah Brewing, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Many brewers will feature seasonal ales for Oktoberfest and will be on hand to discuss their beers.
The popular Oktoberfest Games are back as well pitting brewery against brewery with favorites like the stein race and keg-rolling contest along with new feats for participants to conquer.
"Cheer on your favorite brewery team, don your lederhosen or dirndl for the festival-wide costume contest, brush up on your chicken dancing and get ready for a Bavarian-style good time. Our Oktoberfest does not disappoint," added Bubenik.Oktoberfest sponsors include: Harmony Motors and VW of Asheville, The Brite Agency, Asheville Brewing Company, Catawba Valley Brewing Company, French Broad Brewery, Green Man Brewery, Highland Brewing Company, Hi-Wire Brewing, Lexington Avenue Brewery (LAB), Oskar Blue Brewery, Pisgah Brewing, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Rock 104.9, 105.9 The Mountain, 880 The Revolution, 98.1 The River, WNCW, Asheville Scene, WNC magazine, Go Mini's and Asheville Color & Imaging.
