Making a free fall such as this will indeed be a vertiginous experience.It is easy to fall 325 yards,but it has hitherto been doubtful whether one would do this and survive.This problem has been solved by the inventor.He has designed a cage in the shape of a gun-shell containing a round chamber some 13 feet high and about 10 feet in diameter in which fifteen persons can sit extremely comfortably in soft armchairs arranged in a circle.The floor is fomed by a mattress with spiral springs 20 inches high.The bottom half consists of concentric metal cones which provide a further measure of resilience.The total height of the apparatus is almost 33 feet and its weight,inclusive of the electric lighting,10 tons. It is intended to drop this gigantic shell from the top of the 325-yard-high Eiffel Tower.It will be prevented from being smashed to pieces by falling into a water-filled pond shaped like a champagne glass.This pond will be 60 yards deep with a maximum diameter of 54 yards.The water will serve as a shock absorber.Monsieur Carron assures us that because of this,and because of the springs inside,the shock felt by the occupants on landing will be by no means unpleasant.When they have got out,the giant shell can again be raised to the top of the Eiffel Tower to permit another group of adventures to experience the thrills of a free fall.According to the inventor,the shell can be operated profitably at a fee of twenty francs per passenger per trip,which is by no means an excessive charge for such a vertiginous experience as this promises to be.

これは、１８９８年での「発明」らしいです。 英語のサイトではありませんが、イメージが分かる絵が下記URLにあります。 これを見れば、「シャンパングラスのような形をした池の中」が一目瞭然かなと。 シートのレイアウトも。 でも、自分では絶対乗りたくないです！ ところで、命の保証ってどこかに書いてありましたっけ？ もっと現代的なものを想像して描いてくださいね。(^^)

このような自由落下をすることは、確かに、目まいを起こさせる、スリリングな経験であろう。325ヤードから落下することは、簡単なことであるが、果たしてこれを実行したとき、死なずに済むだろうかということは、これまで疑わしいことであった。この問題は、その発明者によって解決した。彼は、円形に配列された柔らかい肱掛椅子に15人の人が頗る快適に座ることができる、高さ13フィート、直径10フィートの円形の部屋を持った砲弾の形をしたケージをデザインした。その床には、20インチの高さの螺旋状のバネが付いたマットレスが用いられている。その底の半分は、弾性力を高める同心円状の金属製の円錐から成り立っている。装置一式の全長は、ほぼ33フィートになる。その重量は、電気照明を含めて、10トンになる。この巨大なシェルを、高さ325フィートのエッフェル塔の天辺から落下させようということだ。水で満たされたシャンパングラスのような形をした池の中にそれを落下させることで、それが粉々に砕けてしまうことを防ぐことができるであろう。この池は、深さ60ヤード、最大直径54ヤードほどあればいいだろう。水は、ショックを吸収する役目を果たす。キャロン氏は、この池のおかげで、また、中にあるバネのおかげで、着地時に乗員が受けるショックは、不快なものにはならないだろうと私たちに保証する。すでにスリルを味わった乗員をシェルから出して、もう一組の、この冒険にチャレンジしようとするグループに、自由落下のスリルを味わせるために、エッフェル塔の天辺までもう一回シェルを引き上げることが可能であろう。この発明者によれば、このシェルは、一人一回当たり20フランの料金をとれば、十分に利益が上がるように運用することができる。20フランという料金は、命の保証付きで、このような目がくらくらするようなスリリングな経験をするには、決して高い金額ではないだろう。

下記の翻訳サイトで翻訳してみました。 このような自由落下を作ることは確かに回転する経験でしょう。325ヤード落ちることは容易です。しかし、それは、人がこれをし残存するだろうかどうか従来分かりませんでした。この問題は発明者によって解決されました。彼は、円の中で整えられた柔軟な肘掛け椅子に15人が非常に快適に座ることができる直径に高さ約13フィートの円形の部屋および約10フィートを含??ナいる銃シェルの形の中のかごを設計しました。床は、高さ20インチのぜんまいを備えたマットレスによってfomedされます。底半分は、回復力の一層の手段を提供する同心の金属円錐から成ります。装置の高さの合計は電気的な照明、10トンに包括的で、ほとんど33フィートおよびその重量です。それは、高さ325ヤードのエッフェル塔のトップからこの巨大なシェルを落とすように意図されます。それは、シャンペン・グラスのように形作られた水で一杯の池に落ちることにより、部分に強打されると防がれるでしょう。この池は54ヤードの最大の直径で深さ60ヤードになるでしょう。水はショックアブソーバーとして役立つでしょう。Carron氏は、私たちにこのために、およびスプリングのためにそれを内側に保証します、上陸中の占有者によって感じられた衝撃は決して不愉快になりません。それらが外に出た場合、巨大なシェルは冒険の別のグループが自由落下の震えを経験することを可能にするためにエッフェル塔のトップへ再び上げることができます。発明者によれ?ホ、シェルはそうであるために1つの旅行(これが約束するとともに、それは決してそのような回転する経験の過度の代金でない)当たり1人の乗客当たり20フランの料金で有利に操作することができます。 なんのこっちゃ！！

以下の英文を和訳していただける方に、 お願いできますでしょうか。 何卒よろしくお願いします。 What sort of character is he? This must be a question in your mind. For character in many ways is destiny. This is what I am going to reveal to you next. Understand that it is the stars that determine your own character. Not only your zodiac sign, but every other star in your horoscope adds or detracts something too. Events, experience, your background and the influence of other people in your life take their toll and mould you into person you finally become. This is also reflected in your chart. Just as your own character can be interpreted in the stars, so the character of the person you fall in love with. It is pre determined in part by fate, in part by your own character, for certain people are drawn to certain others subconsciously by elements deep within themselves. ; Soul memories. Deep rooted needs, karma, desires and secret but irresistible weaknesses. All or any one of these things may conspire to draw you to a man of your soul mates character, and determine your destiny.

The British government says it will strive to ensure that "only the most sustainable biofuels" will be used in the UK. It has no means of enforcing this aim - it admits that if it tried to impose a binding standard it would break world trade rules. But even if "sustainability" could be enforced, what exactly does it mean? You could, for example, ban palm oil from new plantations. This is the most destructive kind of biofuel, driving deforestation in Malaysia and Indonesia. But the ban would change nothing. As Carl Bek-Nielsen, vice chairman of Malaysia's United Plantations Berhad, remarked: "Even if it is another oil that goes into biodiesel, that other oil then needs to be replaced. Either way, there's going to be a vacuum and palm oil can fill that vacuum." The knock-on effects cause the destruction you are trying to avoid. The only sustainable biofuel is recycled waste oil, but the available volumes are tiny. At this point, the biofuels industry starts shouting "jatropha". It is not yet a swear word, but it soon will be. Jatropha is a tough weed with oily seeds that grows in the tropics. This summer Bob Geldof, who never misses an opportunity to promote simplistic solutions to complex problems, arrived in Swaziland in the role of "special adviser" to a biofuels firm. Because it can grow on marginal land, jatropha, he claimed, is a "life-changing" plant that will offer jobs, cash crops and economic power to African smallholders. Yes, it can grow on poor land and be cultivated by smallholders. But it can also grow on fertile land and be cultivated by largeholders. If there is one blindingly obvious fact about biofuel, it's that it is not a smallholder crop. It is an internationally traded commodity that travels well and can be stored indefinitely, with no premium for local or organic produce. Already the Indian government is planning 14m hectares of jatropha plantations. In August, the first riots took place among the peasant farmers being driven off the land to make way for them. If the governments promoting biofuels do not reverse their policies, the humanitarian impact will be greater than that of the Iraq war. Millions will be displaced, hundreds of millions more could go hungry. This crime against humanity is a complex one, but that neither lessens nor excuses it. If people starve because of biofuels, Ruth Kelly and her peers will have killed them. Like all such crimes, it is perpetrated by cowards, attacking the weak to avoid confronting the strong.

Two points have to be observed with regard to this criterion, in whichever verbal form we may choose to express it. The first is that it is not rigidly exclusive either, on the one hand, of a possibly mental character in apparently non- mental adjustments, or, conversely, of a possibly non-mental character in apparently mental adjustments. For it is certain that failure to learn by individual experience is not always conclusive evidence against the existence of mind; such failure may arise merely from an imperfection of memroy, or from there not being enough of the mind-element present to make the adjustments needful to meet the novel circum stances. Conversely, it is no less certain that some parts of our own nervous system, which are not concerned in the phenomena of consciousness, are nevertheless able in some measure to learn by individual experience. The nervous apparatus of the stomach, for instance, is able in so con siderable a degree to adapt the movements of that organ to the requirements of its individual experience, that were the organ an organism we might be in danger of regarding it as dimly intelligent. Still there is no evidence to show that non-mental agents are ever able in any considerable measure thus to simulate the adjustments performed by mental ones ; and therefore our criterion, in its practical application, has rather to be guarded against the opposite danger of defying the presence of mind to agents that are really mental For, as I observed in " Animal Intelligence," " it is clear that long before mind has advanced sufficiently far in the scale of development to become amenable to the test in question, it has probably begun to dawn as nascent subjectivity. In other words, because a lowly organized animal does not learn by its own individual experience, we may not therefore con clude that in performing its natural or ancestral adaptations to appropiate stimuli, consciousness, or the mind-element, is wholly absent ; we can only say that this element, if present, reveals no evidence of the fact. But, on the other hand, if a lowly organized animal does learn by its own individual experience, we are in possession of the best available evi dence of conscious memory leading to intentional adaptation. Therefore, our criterion applies to the upper limit of non- mental action, not to the lower limit of mental[action]''.

It is also possible to look at this phenomenon in a positive light. Japan’s population will certainly fall and this should be there may be less pollution and the cities will be less crowded. Japan is still one of the most densely populated countries in the world, so a smaller population may not be such a bad idea after all. 和訳 この現象は肯定的観点からみることもできます。日本の人口が確実に減っていくと環境の為には良いことと言えます。車を運転したりエネルギーを人口が減ることにより、公害は少なくなり都市部は混雑しなくなるでしょう。日本は依然として世界で最も人口密度が高い国の一つであるので、とどのつまり人口減少はそんなに悪くないアイデアなのかもしれません。

Think of it this way. Each of us is, more or less, an egg. Each of us is a unique, irreplaceable soul enclosed in a fragile shell. This is true of me, and it is true of each of you. And each of us, to a greater or lesser degree, is "The System". The System is supposed to protect us, but sometimes it take on a life of its own, and then it begins to kill us and cause us to kill others-coldly, efficiently, systematically.

This means the relationship will be more conventional than you think, or want it to be. It may also lack surprises, so that once it has begun there is nothing really unexpected or sudden in the love that develops or follows. This planet placement can also mean that there is less turbulence and no sudden interruptions or disruptions that spoil; or upset your romantic life, less inclination to break up. Your emotions may be strong but cautious at the same time. There will be consistency in the relationship and you will know how you stand as times goes on, a leveling out, rather than great mountains and swooping disappointments or valleys in the terrain of love. Your love life, or choice of soulmate will be temperate, and will not be, impulsive or dangerous or too unorthodox, however unique this love is, it will not be irregular.. or inconstant. This position of Uranus also means that you may meet the soulmate, the greatest of all your loves and will be happy with him, how he is, not wanting to change or reform him greatly.

You are pulled by the opposites of responsibility and escape, reality and wishful thinking. His Mercury squares your ascendant. The square is not a good aspect. This relationship will fret or fray at your nerves, you will come to look stressed and tired, You may feel the relationship is restricted by work and family concerns. You begin to feel less confident in its future for the square is a hard aspect. It means a point where there is a difficult cornerstone in the relationship that has to be turned before it can move forwards. It causes confusion. This will be talked about, discussed but will not be so easy to tackle. With this aspect the environment or setting of the relationship will also have a strong but subtle influence on your mind, the things that are perceived or wrongly perceived both consciously and unconsciously, the atmosphere of the home or its neighbourhood, things people say the prevailing conditions of your surroundings.
