text: The proposed study will have the overall goal of increasing the use of recommended cancer screening tests among Hispanics in San Francisco and Alameda Counties based on the implementation of cancer prevention interventions which are being developed as part of a National Cancer Institute funded Developmental Project initiated by the research team in 1989. A culturally-appropriate community intervention, modeled after the successful approach used in the Hispanic Smoking Cessation Research Project will be implemented in two intervention communities to promote use of recommended cancer screening tests for cervical, breast, colon and prostate cancers. The community intervention will consist of four major components: wide distribution of educational materials developed in the current project will include separate Guides to cancer prevention for women and men; a focused Spanish-language electronic media campaign with extensive use of radio as well as television public service announcements and special programs; community organization to promote screening will be facilitated by distribution of the Guides, utilize trained peer counselors and educational groups with emphasis on the family unit; finally, a health care provider educational program with the goal of promoting communication between Hispanics and their personal physicians will be implemented. After completing a baseline survey, the intervention will be evaluated by cross- sectional telephone surveys of Hispanic adults living in San Francisco and Alameda Counties (intervention communities) compared to Hispanic adults living in Santa Clara, Stanislaus and Fresno Counties (control communities), three years after starting the intervention. The sample will be selected by a modified random digit dialing procedure of census tracts with at least 10% Hispanics. The interviews will include knowledge and use of recommended cancer screening tests, attitudes toward cancer screening, and awareness of early warning symptoms of cancer. Process measures during the community intervention will be collected.

Togo political crisis must concern West Africa - Buhari, Ouattara

West Africa must take interest in political ongoings in Togo because it could have wider implications for countries in the region. But it was important for the government and opposition to dialogue and to achieve stability and mutual trust.

This is the view advanced by Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria and Alassane Ouattara of Ivory Coast. ‘‘There will be regional consequences for instability in Togo and this will surely come at a cost to development,” Buhari said during a meeting between the two.

The opposition in Togo are calling for the incumbent Faure Gnassingbe to step down immediately. They say they want an end to the family dynasty that has led the country for the past five decades.

Faure has been in power for 12 years now. His father Eyadema was president for 38 years till his death in 2015. Togo is one of the few West African countries without presidential term limits.

The opposition are pushing for a two-term limit and mass political reforms. They have organized a series of protests since August this year. It has led to deaths, injuries to scores and mass arrests.

The government has agreed to capping terms but do not want the rule to take retrospective effect, in which case Faure Gnassingbe can stand for the next two elections.

Buhari and Ouattara met on the sidelines of the just ended African Union – European Union summit on the youth. It was, however, dominated by issues of migration on the back of the Libyan slave market footage released by CNN weeks ago.

text: March 7, 2014. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The West Virginia Arson Hotline Program has increased the reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.. Previously, the reward was $2,500, now the reward has been increased to $5,000.. The Arson Hotline program provides a toll-free number to speak with law enforcement investigators about any knowledge they may have concerning a suspicious fire and is completely confidential. The Arson Hotline number is 800-233-3473 (FIRE).. The increase in reward money was made at the request of the West Virginia State Fire Marshall’s Office and in conjunction with the West Virginia FAIR Plan... In just the first four months of 2012, the West Virginia State Fire Marshall’s office investigated 305 arson events. During that same time period the Arson Hotline received 55 tips which combined to shed enough light on 22 arsons with the potential for prosecution.

Lesson: Introduction to Arson Investigation

### Section 1: What is Arson?
Arson is the criminal act of deliberately setting fire to property. It can include buildings, vehicles, and other structures. This crime can result in serious damage, injury, or even death. Arson investigation is the process of determining the cause of a fire and identifying the person responsible for starting it.

### Section 2: Why Investigate Arson?
Investigating arson is important because it helps to prevent future fires, bring those responsible to justice, and provide closure for victims. By understanding the causes of fires, investigators can work to prevent them from happening again. Additionally, identifying and prosecuting arsonists can help to deter others from committing similar crimes.

### Section 3: How is Arson Investigated?
Arson investigations typically involve several steps. First, investigators examine the scene of the fire to determine its origin and cause. They look for clues such as accelerants, burn patterns, and other evidence that may indicate arson. Next, investigators interview witnesses and collect statements from anyone who may have information about the fire. Finally, investigators analyze the evidence they have gathered to determine the cause of the fire and identify any potential suspects.

### Section 4: The Role of the Arson Hotline
The Arson Hotline is a confidential program that allows individuals to report suspicious fires anonymously. The hotline provides a toll-free number for people to call with any information they may have about a suspicious fire. This program is important because it allows investigators to receive tips and information that may not otherwise be available.

### Section 5: Conclusion
Understanding the importance of arson investigation is crucial in preventing future fires and bringing those responsible to justice. By examining the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing the results, investigators can determine the cause of a fire and identify potential suspects. The Arson Hotline plays an important role in this process by providing a confidential way for individuals to report suspicious fires. Through critical thinking and analysis, investigators can work to prevent future fires and bring those responsible to justice.

The 5 Most Important Steps of Commercial Real Estate Escrow

The 5 Most Important Steps of Commercial Real Estate Escrow

Residential real estate is often difficult to grasp, so it’s understandable that commercial real estate is also viewed as a complex process. One of the most important aspects of both types of real estate is the escrow process.

Escrow is the process where a neutral third party holds funds while the buyer and seller meet the various aspects of an escrow agreement. It offers all parties financial protection during the sale of property, as funds are withheld should either party fail to meet the requirements of the escrow agreement.

Let’s take a closer look at the 5 most important steps of commercial real estate escrow:

1. Deciding the Terms of Escrow Agreement

The first and most important step of commercial real estate escrow is deciding on the terms of the escrow contract. Both parties must come together at this stage to organize the aspects of escrow, including appointing an escrow agent and their duties, identifying sources of capital, and various other terms and conditions.

This is usually quite a long, complex process with various representatives present for both parties.

2. Appointing an Escrow Agent

There are no legal requirements when it comes to appointing an escrow agent – both parties must simply agree on a well qualified escrow agent.

3. Entering the Escrow Transaction

The next step of commercial escrow is entering the transaction. The escrow agent begins this process, providing that all necessary documents are in order.

Before escrow officially opens, it’s important to get appropriate details including the total cost for sale, property address, policy liability amounts, the buyer and sell, along with contact details for professional representation (e.g. attorney, estate agent, lender etc.)

4. Signing Authority

Because of the complex nature of commercial real estate, the transaction usually occurs between legal entities (e.g. an LLC or LLP) rather than single parties, which helps to reduce costs and limit liabilities.

There can even be several legal entities created for owning the commercial property, and each one must have an individual with a signing authority. This means that a person must have the authority to sign on behalf of the entity, so proof of signing authority must be verified during escrow.

Without verified signing authority, escrow funds cannot be released, so it’s a very important step, although the process does take some time given all the various contracts involved.

5. Title Report and Closing Documents

The final steps of commercial escrow involve accepting the final title report and providing the final closing documents. These can vary depending on the transaction, but usually involve deeds, environmental reports, zoning warranties, and anything else agreed in the escrow contract that must be finalized.

The title report is provided well in advance of closing, but the buyer does have a limited time to review it and to make any objections from the report, to which the seller has a limited response time.

Once all issues are resolved, a final title report is reviewed and accepted by both parties. After the remaining closing documents are filed and dealt with, and the transfer deed is complete, escrow funds are released, and the process is closed.

Some of the terms that may be included in the escrow agreement include the purchase price, the amount of any deposit or down payment, the date of possession, and any contingencies that may apply.

Questions and Answers:

1. What is an escrow agreement?
An escrow agreement is a legal contract that outlines the terms and conditions of the escrow process. It specifies the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved in the transaction.

2. Why is it important to negotiate the terms of the escrow agreement?
It is crucial to negotiate the terms of the escrow agreement because it sets the expectations and responsibilities of all parties involved in the transaction. It ensures that everyone is on the same page and understands what is expected of them.

3. Who typically negotiates the terms of the escrow agreement?
The buyer and seller typically negotiate the terms of the escrow agreement. However, it may also involve the involvement of their respective attorneys or real estate agents.

Section 2: Preparing the Escrow Document

The second step in the commercial real estate escrow process is to prepare the escrow document. This involves creating a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement. The escrow document must be prepared by a licensed escrow officer who is impartial and has no interest in the transaction.

Questions and Answers:

1. Who prepares the escrow document?
The escrow document is prepared by a licensed escrow officer who is impartial and has no interest in the transaction.

2. What is the purpose of the escrow document?
The purpose of the escrow document is to provide a clear and concise record of the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement. It serves as a legal contract between the buyer, seller, and the escrow officer.

Section 3: Conducting the Escrow Analysis

The third step in the commercial real estate escrow process is to conduct an escrow analysis. This involves reviewing the escrow document and all relevant documents to ensure that everything is in order. The escrow officer will verify the purchase price, the amount of any deposit or down payment, and any contingencies that may apply.

Questions and Answers:

1. What is an escrow analysis?
An escrow analysis is a review of the escrow document and all relevant documents to ensure that everything is in order. It is conducted by the escrow officer to verify the purchase price, the amount of any deposit or down payment, and any contingencies that may apply.

2. Why is it important to conduct an escrow analysis?
It is crucial to conduct an escrow analysis because it ensures that all the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement are accurate and complete. It also provides an opportunity to identify and correct any errors or discrepancies before the transaction proceeds.

Section 4: Signing the Escrow Agreement

The fourth step in the commercial real estate escrow process is to sign the escrow agreement. This involves all parties involved in the transaction signing the escrow document to indicate their acceptance of its terms and conditions.

Questions and Answers:

1. What is the purpose of signing the escrow agreement?
The purpose of signing the escrow agreement is to indicate acceptance of its terms and conditions. It serves as a legal contract between the buyer, seller, and the escrow officer.

2. Who signs the escrow agreement?
All parties involved in the transaction sign the escrow agreement to indicate their acceptance of its terms and conditions. This includes the buyer, seller, and the escrow officer.

Section 5: Closing the Escrow

The fifth and final step in the commercial real estate escrow process is to close the escrow. This involves the transfer of funds and documents from the escrow account to complete the transaction. Once all the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement have been met, the escrow officer will close the escrow and transfer the funds and documents to the appropriate parties.

Questions and Answers:

1. What is the purpose of closing the escrow?
The purpose of closing the escrow is to transfer funds and documents from the escrow account to complete the transaction. It is the final step in the commercial real estate escrow process.

2. Who closes the escrow?
The escrow officer closes the escrow. They ensure that all the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement have been met before transferring the funds and documents to the appropriate parties.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the commercial real estate escrow process is essential to protect all parties involved in the transaction. By following the five most important steps of commercial real estate escrow, including deciding on the terms of the escrow agreement, preparing the escrow document, conducting the escrow analysis, signing the escrow agreement, and closing the escrow, all parties can ensure a smooth and successful transaction.

What seems to be happening instead is that the Trump tax cuts are just providing a boost to consumers. That, at least, is where the strength of the recovery continues to lie. Consumer spending was up another 4 percent in the third quarter and contributed nearly 2.7 percentage points to growth.

AD

AD

If you put all this together, then, you get a picture of an economy that’s growing at around 3 percent right now because of all the short-term stimulus it’s getting, but will soon go back to the 2 to 2.5 percent it was at before because that stimulus isn’t changing companies' long-term behavior like the Trump administration thought it would. They were convinced that cutting the corporate income tax would make investing here so attractive that money would come pouring in from overseas. That would then fund the investments we needed to increase growth today, and the fruits of it — higher productivity — would increase growth tomorrow as well.

Except, well, it’s not. The problem is that while the tax-cutting story the Trump administration was telling might be true for a small, open economy like, say, Bermuda’s, it was never going to be for a large and slightly closed one like our own. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that we’re seeing perhaps a modest increase in investment, but not the bonanza we were promised.

Now, that isn’t to say that our economic prospects are in any way gloomy. They’re not. Even if we can’t expect the economy to keep growing at the same 3 percent pace it has for the past year, we can expect it at least to do pretty well — and maybe even better than that in 2019. That’s because there will still be plenty of stimulus left in the system at that point, and the economy should have plenty of momentum then, too. The best way to tell that is to look at something that’s known as final sales to private domestic purchasers. It takes out all the most volatile parts of GDP — exports, inventories and government spending — to give us a better idea of the economy’s underlying strength. This increased 3.1 percent in the third quarter, and, as you can see above, is up 3.4 percent in the past year.

AD

AD

The big picture, though, is how little Trump has done to change our long-term economic outlook. His tax cut certainly seems to have juiced growth this past year, but since it wasn’t paid for, it has also made the Federal Reserve raise rates enough that its net effect should be pretty close to zero by the end of the next year or so. Unless, of course, companies do start investing far, far more than they are right now.

Lesson: Understanding Economic Growth and Its Impact on Businesses and Consumers

Introduction:
Economic growth refers to the increase in the total value of goods and services produced within a country's geographic borders over time. This growth is essential for businesses and consumers, as it leads to job creation, increased wages, and lower prices for goods and services. In this lesson, we will explore the factors that contribute to economic growth, the impact of economic growth on businesses and consumers, and the potential challenges that may arise.

Section 1: Factors Contributing to Economic Growth

1.1. Increased Productivity
Productivity refers to the efficiency with which businesses produce goods and services. When productivity increases, businesses can produce more output with the same amount of input, leading to economic growth.

1.2. Increased Consumer Spending
Consumer spending is the largest component of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), which measures the total value of goods and services produced within a country's borders. When consumer spending increases, businesses produce more goods and services, leading to economic growth.

1.3. Investment in Capital Goods
Investment in capital goods, such as machinery and equipment, allows businesses to produce more efficiently and increase output. This investment contributes to economic growth.

1.4. Technological Advancements
Technological advancements lead to increased productivity and efficiency in production processes. This results in lower costs and increased output, contributing to economic growth.

Section 2: Impact of Economic Growth on Businesses and Consumers

2.1. Job Creation
Economic growth leads to job creation as businesses need to hire more workers to meet the increased demand for goods and services. This benefits both businesses and consumers, as more people have jobs and can afford to purchase goods and services.

2.2. Increased Wages
As businesses compete for workers, wages tend to rise, benefiting both employees and businesses. Higher wages lead to increased consumer spending, further contributing to economic growth.

2.3. Lower Prices for Goods and Services
When economic growth is sustained over time, businesses can produce more goods and services at lower costs, leading to lower prices for consumers. This benefits both businesses and consumers, as businesses can sell more goods and services at higher profits, and consumers can purchase more goods and services at lower costs.

Section 3: Potential Challenges

3.1. Inflation
Economic growth can lead to inflation, which occurs when the general price level for goods and services rises. Inflation can erode the purchasing power of money, making it more difficult for consumers to afford goods and services.

3.2. Resource Scarcity
As economic growth leads to increased production and consumption, resources such as water, energy, and raw materials may become scarce. This can result in higher costs for businesses and increased prices for consumers.

Conclusion:
Understanding the factors contributing to economic growth and its impact on businesses and consumers is essential for making informed decisions about investments, career choices, and personal finance management. By being aware of the potential challenges associated with economic growth, we can work towards building a sustainable and inclusive economy that benefits everyone.

Glossary:
- GDP: Gross Domestic Product
- Productivity: The efficiency with which businesses produce goods and services
- Consumer Spending: The amount of money spent by consumers on goods and services
- Capital Goods: Machinery, equipment, and other physical assets used to produce goods and services
- Technological Advancements: Improvements in technology that increase productivity and efficiency in production processes.

Lesson: Introduction to Interest Rates and their Impact on the Economy

### Section 1: What are Interest Rates?
Interest rates refer to the percentage of the principal amount of a loan or deposit that banks or other financial institutions charge or pay respectively, for the use of money. Simply put, they are the price of borrowing or lending money.

### Section 2: Why do Interest Rates Matter?
Interest rates play a crucial role in the economy as they influence borrowing, spending, and saving behaviors. When interest rates are low, it becomes cheaper to borrow money, which can lead to increased consumer spending and business investment. On the other hand, when interest rates are high, it becomes more expensive to borrow money, which can lead to decreased consumer spending and business investment.

### Section 3: How do Central Banks Control Interest Rates?
Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States, control interest rates by adjusting the supply of money in circulation. They do this by either increasing or decreasing the amount of money that banks have on reserve. When there is more money available, banks can lend more, which leads to lower interest rates. Conversely, when there is less money available, banks can lend less, which leads to higher interest rates.

### Section 4: Why do Central Banks Cut Interest Rates?
Central banks cut interest rates when they believe that the economy is slowing down or heading towards a recession. By cutting interest rates, they hope to encourage borrowing and spending, which can stimulate economic growth.

### Section 5: Example of Interest Rates in Action
In 2008, the United States experienced a financial crisis that led to a recession. In response, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to encourage borrowing and spending, which helped to stimulate the economy and prevent a deeper recession.

### Conclusion
Understanding interest rates and their impact on the economy is essential for anyone interested in finance or economics. By studying how central banks control interest rates and why they cut them, we can gain insight into how the economy works and how to make informed decisions about our own finances.

Lesson: Understanding Emergency Masks

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about emergency masks and their uses in emergency medicine. We will cover the different types of masks, their components, and how they are used. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the importance of emergency masks and their role in saving lives.

Section 1: Types of Emergency Masks

**What are the different types of emergency masks?**
There are three main types of emergency masks: high concentration non-rebreather, high concentration rebreather, and medium concentration mask.

**What is the difference between them?**
The main difference between these masks is the concentration of oxygen they deliver. High concentration non-rebreathers deliver 100% oxygen, while high concentration rebreathers deliver a blend of oxygen and air. Medium concentration masks deliver a lower concentration of oxygen than the other two types.

**When would you use each type of mask?**
High concentration non-rebreather masks are typically used for patients who need immediate oxygen delivery, such as during cardiac arrest. High concentration rebreather masks are used for patients who require a longer duration of oxygen therapy. Medium concentration masks are used for patients who need a lower concentration of oxygen, such as for mild shortness of breath.

Section 2: Components of Emergency Masks

**What are the components of an emergency mask?**
Emergency masks consist of several components, including a bag, a breathing circuit, and a patient interface. The bag holds the oxygen and allows for easy administration of the gas. The breathing circuit connects the bag to the patient interface, which delivers the oxygen to the patient's mouth and nose.

**What is the purpose of each component?**
The bag holds the oxygen and allows for easy administration of the gas. The breathing circuit connects the bag to the patient interface, which delivers the oxygen to the patient's mouth and nose.

Section 3: How to Use Emergency Masks

**How do you use an emergency mask?**
Using an emergency mask is simple. First, ensure that the patient is in a comfortable position. Then, place the mask over the patient's face, making sure it covers their nose and mouth. Connect the bag to the patient interface and turn on the oxygen flow. Monitor the patient's vital signs and adjust the oxygen flow as needed.

**What are some common mistakes to avoid when using emergency masks?**
One common mistake is not securing the mask properly over the patient's face. This can lead to leaks in the system and reduced oxygen delivery. Another mistake is not monitoring the patient's vital signs closely enough. Always monitor the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation levels to ensure they are responding well to the treatment.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the different types of emergency masks, their components, and how to use them. Emergency masks are an essential tool in emergency medicine, and understanding their use can help save lives in critical situations. By applying the knowledge gained from this lesson, you can effectively use emergency masks in various scenarios.

Lesson: Introduction to Real Estate Investment

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

Real estate investment is the process of purchasing land, buildings, or housing properties with the aim of generating income or capital gains. This can be done through renting out properties, selling them at a higher price, or holding them for appreciation. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of real estate investment and how it can be a profitable venture.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

Let's consider a hypothetical scenario where you buy a property for $200,000 and rent it out for $1,000 per month. Assuming that you have no expenses, you would make $12,000 per year in rental income. Over time, the property value may appreciate, and you could sell it for a profit. Additionally, if you refinance the property and use the money to invest in another property, you can continue to grow your real estate portfolio.

**Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions**

text: C# Alternative to Directory.GetFiles(). A while ago I was working with directories with thousands of files, and wanted to get only the first few files in the directory.. Directory.GetFiles() always returns the entire directory, and so is rather slow on huge directories.. I found and used this excellent post with a managed C++ class that does exactly what I wanted. A caveat I had with the code is that it didn’t work on 64bit machines when run in 64bit mode (instead of in WOW64 compatibility mode). Today I finally got the time to translate it to C#, so we can compile it as part of our solution instead of referencing a pre-built C++ dll. I’m also included a small wrapper DirectoryUtils, that provides an easier way to get a list of N files in a dir (simple API wrapper), plus an additional method to get a random selection of N files from that directory.

textbook:
Lesson: How to Find First N Files in a Directory Using C#

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to find the first N files in a directory using C#. We will use a simple and efficient algorithm to achieve this. We will also create a wrapper class called "DirectoryUtils" that provides an easier way to get a list of N files in a directory and a random selection of N files from that directory.

Section 1: Algorithm Overview
The algorithm we will use is a simple linear search. We will iterate through each file in the directory and keep track of the first N files we encounter. Once we have found N files, we will stop iterating.

Section 2: Implementing the Algorithm in C#
First, let's create a class called "DirectoryUtils" that contains two methods: GetNFiles() and GetRandomNFiles().

```csharp
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

public class DirectoryUtils
{
    public static List<string> GetNFiles(string directoryPath, int n)
    {
        var files = GetFilesRecursive(directoryPath);
        return files.Take(n).ToList();
    }

    public static List<string> GetRandomNFiles(string directoryPath, int n)
    {
        var files = GetFilesRecursive(directoryPath);
        var shuffledFiles = files.OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).ToList();
        return shuffledFiles.Take(n).ToList();
    }

    private static List<string> GetFilesRecursive(string directoryPath)
    {
        var files = new List<string>();
        foreach (var directory in GetDirectories(directoryPath))
        {
            files.AddRange(GetFilesRecursive(directory));
        }
        foreach (var file in Directory.GetFiles(directoryPath))
        {
            files.Add(file);
        }
        return files;
    }

    private static List<string> GetDirectories(string directoryPath)
    {
        return Directory.GetDirectories(directoryPath);
    }
}
```

The GetNFiles() method takes a directory path and an integer n, and returns a list of the first n files in the directory. The GetRandomNFiles() method works similarly but returns a random selection of n files.

Section 3: Using the DirectoryUtils Class
To use the DirectoryUtils class, simply call its methods with the appropriate parameters:

```csharp
var files = DirectoryUtils.GetNFiles("C:\\", 3); // Returns the first 3 files in the C:\ directory
var randomFiles = DirectoryUtils.GetRandomNFiles("C:\\", 5); // Returns a random selection of 5 files from the C:\ directory
```

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to find the first N files in a directory using C#. We implemented a simple and efficient algorithm and created a wrapper class called "DirectoryUtils" that provides an easier way to get a list of N files in a directory and a random selection of N files from that directory. We also covered how to use the class to find the desired number of files.

1) Field of the Invention
The invention herein relates to a brake lever structure for the synchronized control of front and rear wheel brakes comprised of a braking structure installed between a brake lever and a brake lever mount and, furthermore, the braking structure is capable, when the brake lever pulls the linkage component, of simultaneously actuating pull rods movably conjoined to the two sides of the linkage component which are drawn back and travel in parallel towards the guide holes of the brake lever mount; furthermore, when a vehicle equipped with the invention herein is ridden, if any of the two brake cables become severed, the cable remaining intact is still capable of effectively actuating either the front wheel brake or the rear wheel brake and as such, the braking structure is not only capable of maintaining the synchronized application of the front and rear wheel brakes and at an equalized force, but also of ensured braking capacity even when a brake cable is no longer intact to enhance braking stability and performance and thereby provide greater safety.
2) Description of the Prior Art
A conventional brake lever for synchronized front and rear wheel braking such as the type introduced under U.S. Pat. No. 5,845,539 and indicated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is comprised of a brake lever 1 on a motorcycle or bicycle and, furthermore, the said brake lever 1 is installed to a brake lever mount 2; wherein, front and rear guide holes 211 and 212 are formed at the front end of the said brake lever mount 2 to provide for the insertion of a front and a rear brake cable W1 and W2; front and rear slots 2111 and 2121 are respectively formed at the upper ends of the front and rear guide holes 211 and 212, and a hidden slot 22 is formed at the rear end of the said brake lever mount 2; a linkage slot 11 is formed at the cable pulling position of the brake lever 1 and, furthermore, a figure-8 shaped link plate 12 is movably conjoined to a pull rod 14 and inserted into the linkage slot 11, when the front and rear wheel brake cables W1 and W2 are drawn simultaneously for brake application and, furthermore, utilizing the seesawing motion of the pull rod 14 as well as the unique ascending and descending movement capability of the figure-8 shaped link plate 12, if the front and rear wheel braking action is imbalanced or the front and rear wheel brake cables W1 and W2 become slightly slackened, correction by the pull rod 14 and the figure-8 shaped link plate 12 enable a simultaneous braking action at the front and rear wheels; however, in actual utilization, the structure of the said brake lever 1 is inadequate in terms of performance and can be further refined and improved, with the general shortcomings summarized below.
1. Although the conventional braking structure consists of a figure-8 shaped link plate 12 movably conjoined onto the pull rod 14 and is capable of providing, by means of the seesawing motion of the pull rod 14, for the correction and maintaining of synchronized braking by the front and rear wheel brakes, when the said braking structure is in the process of brake actuation, since the pull rod 14 sways to the left and right in a seesawing state during braking, while capable of synchronizing front and rear wheel brake application, the front and rear brake cables W1 and W2 are not drawn upon equally, with the resulting shortcoming being an imbalanced application at the front and rear brakes that causes the sudden stopping of the vehicle and a subsequent leaning over that adversely affects riding safety.
2. Since the conventional braking structure achieves correction by means of the pull rod 14 and the figure-8 shaped link plate 12, when one of the brake cables are severed, the brake lever 1 can only draw back the pull rod 14 no longer connected to a brake cable (the pull rod 14 without braking capability) such that when the brake lever 1 is pressed down once again, the pull rod 14 still connected to a brake cable actuates brake application, but the limited pulling distance of the brake cable precludes the attainment of effective braking performance, which results in compromised riding safety.
Therefore, the inventor of the invention herein conducted extensive research and design efforts to improve the conventional product which, following numerous testing and refinement, culminated in the successful development of a brake lever structure for the synchronized control of front and rear wheel brakes of the present invention that completely eliminates the shortcomings of the prior art and, furthermore, offers significantly increased practical performance.
