Start with your heart.
It is your mind's most important part.

Happy are they who seek love in life.
They observe the plan to decrease strife.

Those who walk with integrity in intent
are not bent by what they have spent for lent.

They were fruitful in the house of bread
until drought dried the land and increased the number of dead. 

Sickness caused weakness. Weakness bred wasting. 
Wasting stopped the embracing of tasting.

Need was the lead that led 
to where the water had fed
plants from seed wet
with river or rain sent
as heavenly intent.

Dried fish smells like perfume
to those who are ready to consume.

Pleasing is a pleasure
to those who value it as a treasure.


Atonement by the one blood sacrifice was made
for redemption by change in the trade.

The greater temple is the tent not made with hands.
Love is the energy that the notion of emotion demands.

Love is the strength of self seen in the other
whether the other is a stranger, an enemy, sister or brother.

The political cloth makes the flag stand as the standard.
You have the logic to raise reason above anger.

The question of quiet is the state before action.
The size of the guard effects interaction.

Increase in authority raises the tower
when the smell of the flower
is the fragrance of power.  

The commandment to love was made for ease in compliance.
It is the most sensible way to build self-reliance.

I wish to increase the triumph of divine alliance.
The law of nature does not reward agreement with violence.

It allows for the sanctity of defense even when it is intense.
It is not for the pretense of prejudice as license to incense.

I will thank you with an unfeigned heart.
It was my heart that got me to do my part.

I will work with your statutes as principles
to find reasons for a persuasion that is invincible. 

How is my youth to find cleansing from error in experience?
Knowledge is built with language for those who are serious.

I will seek to know the word with my whole heart.
Reason will make communication an art.

Judgment will infer what the body of evidence allows.
It doesn’t take the ascetic rigor of monastic vows.

I am a stranger here on earth. 
I have been so since my birth.

Open my eyes that I may see
the wonders of ingenuity.

Help me to fulfill my goals
be it designing products or filling holes.

I have taken great delight in the matters of discovery.
The need for sufficient nutrition was learned in recovery.

I will meditate to watch the rise and fall of breath.
Spirit will help me to pass each test.

You have rebuked the insolent.
They will be corrected, until they repent.

Turn shame from me and expose their plot.
I obeyed the law. They did not.

The error of the plot against me
will be shown and seen as a deceitful plea.

Deceit is not growth in hope
for reward with honor to interlope.

The principles of love will be known
as truth that can be shown.

Aleph Beati immaculati

1 Happy are they whose way is blameless, *
who walk in the law of the Lord!

2 Happy are they who observe his decrees *
and seek him with all their hearts!

3 Who never do any wrong, *
but always walk in his ways.

4 You laid down your commandments, *
that we should fully keep them.

5 Oh, that my ways were made so direct *
that I might keep your statutes!

6 Then I should not be put to shame, *
when I regard all your commandments.

7 I will thank you with an unfeigned heart, *
when I have learned your righteous judgments.

8 I will keep your statutes; *
do not utterly forsake me.

146 Lauda, anima mea

1 Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, O my soul! *
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

2 Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth, *
for there is no help in them.

3 When they breathe their last, they return to earth, *
and in that day their thoughts perish.

4 Happy are they who have the God of Jacob for their help! *
whose hope is in the Lord their God;

5 Who made heaven and earth, the seas, and all that is in them; *
who keeps his promise for ever;

6 Who gives justice to those who are oppressed, *
and food to those who hunger.

7 The Lord sets the prisoners free;
the Lord opens the eyes of the blind; *
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;

8 The Lord loves the righteous;
the Lord cares for the stranger; *
he sustains the orphan and widow,
but frustrates the way of the wicked.

9 The Lord shall reign for ever, *
your God, O Zion, throughout all generations.
Hallelujah!

Ruth 1:1-2
In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to live in the country of Moab, he and his wife and two sons. The name of the man was Elimelech and the name of his wife Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion; they were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there.

Bethlehem- House of Bread
Judah- Praise
Moab- Of his father; son of Lot
Elimelech- My God is King
Naomi- Pleasing
Mahlon- Sickness
Chilion- Wasting
Ephrath- Fruitful
Ruth- Friend

Hebrews 9:11-12
When Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come,* then through the greater and perfect* tent* (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation), he entered once for all into the Holy Place, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.

Mark 12:32-33
Then the scribe said to him, ‘You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that “he is one, and besides him there is no other”; 33and “to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength”, and “to love one’s neighbour as oneself”,—this is much more important than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.’

Lincoln is in Lincolnshire. The shire is located on the east coast of England. It is situated at an elevation of 67 ft. (20.4 m) above sea level in a gap in the Lincoln Cliff. The ‘cliff’ is an extended hill that rises above the surrounding plain. The city lies on the River Witham that flows through the gap. It is 141 mi (227 km) north of London.

The location boomed during the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. Several world famous companies arose such as Ruston’s, Clayton’s, Proctor’s and William Foster’s. Lincoln began to excel in heavy engineering, building locomotives, steam shovels and all manner of heavy machinery.

George Boole was born in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England on 2 November 1815. His parents were Mary Ann Joyce and John Boole.

John made shoes but he was interested in science. His special interest was in the application of mathematics to scientific instruments. Mary Ann was a lady’s maid. She married John on 14 September 1806. John opened a cobbler’s shop at 34 Silver Street when they moved to Lincoln.

George was born nine years after they were married.

His father enjoyed participating in the local mechanics’ institute. It was a community social club that promoted reading, discussions and lectures regarding science. It was founded in 1833. John became the curator of the library in 1834.

George was their first child. He was born after Mary Ann and John had been married for nine years. They had almost given up hope of having children so it was an occasion for great rejoicing.

George was christened the day after he was born. He was so weak as an infant that his parents feared might not live. He was named after John's father who had died in April 1815. Over the next five years Mary Ann and John had three further children, Mary Ann, William and Charles.

George Boole was an English mathematician. He worked as a schoolmaster in England as his labor. He became a professor of mathematics at Queen’s University, Cork, Ireland from 1849 until his death.

He revolutionized logic by applying methods from the then-emerging field of symbolic algebra. Traditional Aristotelian logic relied on cataloging the valid syllogisms of various simple forms. Boole’s method provided general algorithms in an algebraic language.

The language was applied to an infinite variety of arguments of arbitrary complexity. These results appeared in two major works, The Mathematical Analysis of Logic (1847) and The Laws of Thought (1854).

Boole’s goals were “to go under, over and beyond” Aristotle’s logic by:

Providing it with mathematical foundations involving equations;
Extending the class of problems it could treat from assessing validity to solving equations, and;
Expanding the range of applications it could handle — e.g. from propositions having only two            terms to those having arbitrarily many.

He was a founder of the algebraic tradition in logic.

Boolean algebra is the branch of algebra in which the variables are the values true and false. These are usually denoted as 1 and 0 respectively. This denotation contributed to the production of the hardwired form of binary code in computer circuits.

George Boole introduced the principle of wholistic reference into modern logic. The principle point is that each proposition, regardless how limited the referents of its non-logical or content terms, refers to the whole set in the discourse.

Every proposition of number theory, even an equation such as 5 + 7 = 12, refers not only to the individual numbers that it happens to mention but to the whole set of numbers.

The reference is being made with regard to something larger than itself. The term 'universe of discourse' was used to refer to the object in the context of the environment for it. The phrase 'environment for discourse' doesn't suggest as much error in potential overreach.

The concept of universality was associated with Aristotle's theory of universals. Aristotle had range in the variety of topics covered in his discourse, but he also had the argument for slavery. He can't be blamed for cruelty in punishment. His ethics regarding anger and justice called for selection aimed at correction.

He argued that anger is easy. Harnessing anger for the right purpose is not.

He didn't explicitly argue for torture or the death penalty, but his theory of justice was applied with the norms for punishment at the time. Torture produced fictions which were used to scare the public into agreement with dictatorship.

It was implicitly destructive as a value. When the competition for power is reduced to the context of productive v. destructive values, government has favored control of the means for destruction. When this favor is projected into belief in divinity it harms faith in a benign deity.

Aristotle's universals were a reduction of Plato's forms. This is part of the cognitive reconstruction of classical consciousness.

Flushing is a part of the borough of Queens in New York City. Downtown is a large commercial and retail area. It is the fourth largest central business district in New York City. The rest of the area is residential.

The settlement was established on the eastern bank of Flushing Creek under charter of the Dutch West India Company on October 10, 1645. It was part of the New Netherland colony. It was named after the city of Vlissingen in the southwestern Netherlands. This was the main port for the company.

The continued construction of bridges over the Flushing River and the development of other roads increased the volume of vehicular traffic. The construction of the Queensboro Bridge over the East River connected Queens County to midtown Manhattan in 1909. The Queensboro is also known as the 59th Street Bridge.

The railroad service was introduced to Manhattan in 1910 by the Long Island Rail Road Port Washington Branch. The New York City Subway's IRT Flushing Line was extended to the area in 1928. The railway service hastened the continued transformation to a commuter suburb and commercial center.

Flushing was a forerunner for Hollywood. The young American film industry was still based on the U.S. East Coast and Chicago. The RKO Keith's movie palace would host vaudeville acts and appearances by the likes of Mickey Rooney, the Marx Brothers and Bob Hope decades later.

The World’s Fair opened there in 1964.

David Schwimmer was born in Flushing, Queens, New York City, to attorneys Arthur and Arlene Coleman-Schwimmer on November 2, 1966. Schwimmer is Jewish. He has an older sister named Ellie.

His family moved to Los Angeles where he had his first experiences of acting at the age of 10. He was cast as the fairy godmother in a Jewish version of Cinderella.

Young David went to a Shakespeare workshop given by English actor Ian McKellen in Los Angeles in 1979. He recalls being riveted by the experience. He entered the Southern California Shakespeare Festival contest three years in a row. He won two first prizes.

The family moved to Beverly Hills following his mother's successful career as a divorce lawyer. David attended Beverly Hills High School. He was best at the subjects of science and math. He thought he would become a doctor.

David wanted to go straight into acting after he graduated from high school. His parents insisted he go to college first. He moved to Chicago to attend Northwestern University. He had attended a summer drama course there when he was 16 years old.

He studied theater and was in an improv group with Stephen Colbert, the No-Fun Mud Piranhas, at the university. He graduated in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in theater and speech. David co-founded the Lookingglass Theatre Company. Subsequently, he returned to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. He lived in Los Angeles as a struggling, unemployed actor for much of the late 1980's.

He starred in the television movie A Deadly Silence in 1989.  A number of television roles followed in L.A. Law, The Wonder Years, NYPD Blue and Monty in the early 1990's. He later gained worldwide recognition for playing Ross Geller in the sitcom Friends. He received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 1995.

His first leading film role was in The Pallbearer (1996). He then appeared in Kissing a Fool (1998), Six Days, Seven Nights (1998), Apt Pupil and Picking Up the Pieces (both 2000). He was cast in the miniseries Band of Brothers (2001) as Herbert Sobel.

Schwimmer played the title character in the 2005 drama Duane Hopwood after the series finale of Friends in 2004. Other film roles include the voice of Melman the Giraffe in the computer-animated Madagascar film franchise, the dark comedy Big Nothing (2006) and the thriller Nothing But the Truth (2008).

He made his West End stage debut in the leading role in Some Girl(s) in 2005. He made his Broadway debut in The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial in 2006. He made his feature film directorial debut with the 2007 comedy Run Fatboy Run. He made his Off-Broadway directorial debut in the 2008 production Fault Lines in the following year.

He starred as lawyer Robert Kardashian in American Crime Story in 2016. He received his second Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his part.

Hollywood had a post office, newspaper, hotel and two markets by 1900. Los Angeles had a population of 102,479. It was 10 miles (16 km) east through the vineyards, barley fields and citrus groves.

A single-track streetcar line ran down the middle of Prospect Avenue from LA. Service was infrequent and the trip took two hours. The old citrus fruit-packing house was converted into a livery stable. The stable improved transportation for the inhabitants of Hollywood.

The 1900’s were a time of great advancement for film and motion picture technology. Exploration into editing, backdrops and visual flow motivated aspiring filmmakers to push into new creative territory. One of the earliest and most famous movies created during this time was The Great Train Robbery. It was created in 1903 by Edwin S. Porter.

Hollywood was the birthplace of movie studios. These studios were of great importance to America’s public image in the movie industry. The earliest and most affluent film companies were Warner Brothers Pictures, Paramount, RKO, Metro Goldwin Meyer and 20th Century Fox. Each owned their own film production sets and studios. Universal, United and Columbia Pictures did not own their own theaters. Disney, Monogram and Republic were considered third-tier.

The Great Los Angeles Air Raid was the rumored enemy attack and subsequent anti-aircraft artillery barrage which took place from late February 24 to early February 25, 1942, over Los Angeles, California.  It was less than three months after the United States entered World War II in response to the Japanese Imperial Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Great Air Raid began at 2:25 a.m. on that clear moonlit night. The U.S. Army announced the approach of hostile aircraft. The city's air raid warning system went into action for the first time in the war.

The night was torn by sirens. Searchlights swept the sky. Gun crews at army posts along the coastline began pumping ack-ack into the moonlight. 1,433 rounds would be fired in the episode.

No bombs were dropped.There was scattered structural damage caused by antiaircraft shells that failed to explode in air. They exploded when they struck the ground. A garage was demolished here and a patio there. A tire was blown on a parked automobile.

Exultation was in the air. The city had met its first taste of war with valor. It was exhilarating. Exultation turned to embarrassment the next day when the Secretary of the Navy said there had been no air raid. There were no enemy planes. It was just a case of jitters.

Embarrassment turned to outrage. The army was accused of shooting up an empty sky. The sheriff was particularly embarrassed. He had valiantly helped the FBI round up several Japanese nurserymen and gardeners who were supposedly caught in the act of signaling the enemy aviators.

The Secretary of War tried to save face. He said that while there were no enemy aircraft in the air, it was believed that 15 commercial planes flown by "enemy agents" had crossed into domestic airspace.

An Army document explained what had happened at the war's end: (1) numerous weather balloons had been released over the area that night. They carried lights for tracking purposes. These "lighted balloons" were mistaken for enemy aircraft; (2) shell bursts illuminated by searchlights were mistaken by ground crews for enemy aircraft.

Stephanie Powers was born in Hollywood, CA on November 2, 1942. Her name was Stefania Zsofia Federkiewicz. The name is Polish. Her father was a Jewish immigrant from Eastern Europe. She remained extremely close throughout her life to her mother. Her mother was born Juliana Dimitria Golan (1912–2009) in New York to parents of Polish descent.

Stefanie is an American actress best known for her role as Jennifer Hart in the American mystery series Hart to Hart. She starred with Robert Wagner. The show aired for five seasons from 1979 to 1984. Powers and Wagner later reunited for eight Hart to Hart TV movies in the 1990s. She is a two-time Emmy Award nominee and five-time Golden Globe Award nominee.

Tokyo was the epicenter of a new look that came to symbolize the uninhibited essence of Japan's fashion-forward youth culture in the 1990's. Harajuku style had come to represent Japanese fashion as an eclectic, unruly overload of influences that sometimes spun as colorfully as a pinwheel.The color could be exaggerated and accessorized to a cartoonish effect.

Fashion and music are closely linked. Many fashion designers are inspired and influenced by their favorite bands and musicians.

The Harajuku style gained attention in wider Japan through figures such as entertainer Tomoe Shinohara. Shinohara began as a regular hostess on the FujiTV music variety show "LOVE LOVE Aishiteru" in October 1996. The characteristics of Shinorer fashion started with straight choppy bangs.

The layered clothing featured bright, primary colors. The colors were like the UK-inspired fashion trend Super Lovers. Shorts, suspenders and crumpled socks were paired with hard shoes that are similar to Doc Martens.

Strange make-up was complimented by glittery dollar store accessories, toy bracelets, rings, wristwatches and arm patches like the ones sold at carnival booths. Pockets were crammed with toys, goggles and knapsacks.

The style was sold by commercial magazines like CUTiE, Zipper and Kera. FRUiTS arguably had been there first. It became the authoritative chronicle for the looks.

Harajuku changed. The frenetic signature image had been co-opted and commercialized by corporations, celebrities and attention-seekers. The subculture had started to disappear in Tokyo when Gwen Stefani's song "Harajuku Girls" went on tour in the US in 2004.

It was ultimately replaced by something more conservative and less unique among Tokyo's style conscious kids. They're more likely to wear mass-market clothing from Uniqlo and other international clothing chains now.

Tokyo Disneyland celebrated it's 15th anniversary in 1998. Tokyo DisneySea Project broke ground on October 22 of the same year. It was completed for the grand opening in 2001.

Ogata Risa was born on November 5, 1998 in Tokyo, Japan.

It was announced on April 29, 2015 that Ogata would be debuting in a new unit named Tsubaki Factory alongside Yamagishi Riko, Kishimoto Yumeno, Niinuma Kisora, Asakura Kiki and Tanimoto Ami. Ogata participated in TRIANGLE, an Engeki Joshibu musical starring Morning Musume '15 from June 18 to June 28. She was announced as the sub-leader of Tsubaki Factory an August 8.

She shares the same surname as graduated Morning Musume member Ogata Haruna, but they have different kanji. She also shares her birth name "Risa" with former 5th generation Morning Musume member Niigaki Risa and Yamaki Risa from Country Girls.

Restore Fortune


Lauren Holly

Restore
Fortune
回復フォーチュン 
Kaifuku fōchun
ps126

When fortune was restored
we were like those who had scored.

We felt like those who dream while awake.
There was the distinct feeling that this fortune was great.

Our mouths were filled with laughter.
We began a new chapter.

The rider and the fighter were twins in the sky.
They fought for the standard to know how and why.

They released many captives from the burden of plight.
The captives were freed so they could find freedom in flight.

Courage watched leadership rise with his word.
Reason was challenged to overcome the absurd.

Beauty met moon near the end of her time.
The bull surveyed the  terrain at the height of his climb.

The hunter drank the storm as it had been.
He stalked the prey that he had yet to win.

Our tongues lifted sound above vocal cords.
Our joy was profound. Our bliss was adored.

Restore our borders with the cosmic sorter for order.
Reap the harvest of stars in the heavenly quarters.

Give us virility as the light in the day time declines.
Let the leaves fall as the autumn wind unwinds time.

The start of the storm is born from the misery of earth.
Mason bees cut live leaves for the mystery of worth.

The shadow of darkness rumbles under the thunder. 
The blind eye of the sky can turn a tree into lumber.

The order of forest sings the wind like a chorus.
The starred flower of jasmine doesn't fail to adore us.

The music of hope is the will for the village.
The virtue of luck is the note for our privilege.

Let oil be squeezed from olives or corn.
Let want be pleased, not lawless or torn.

Let the mantle of praise lift up the weakness of spirit.
Feel the energy of love before you hear or go near it.

Augurs of chance read spirits as birds
to test public statements for the truth of the words.

The red of the cinnabar is vermilion from mercury.
The mummies of Chile were colored red for eternity.

Great things have been done in the strength of this time.
The length of our darkness makes the light feel primely sublime.

Those who managed to work throughout the past year
made a memory to transcend the feeling of fear.

Those who sowed seed with the toil of tears in arrears
will reap joy with music in the heavenly spheres.

Those who went weeping to water seeds for the future
have returned with wheat to fulfill needs as your nurture.

This voice is like that of the cry in the darkness
unbroken in facing the strength of the hard test. 

Restore our good fortune. Transform the harm from the past.
Let us win the bid for our portion. Give us confidence to last.


Psalm 126 In convertendo
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
then were we like those who dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy.
3 Then they said among the nations,
"The Lord has done great things for them."
4 The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are glad indeed.
5 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like the watercourses of the Negev.
6 Those who sowed with tears
will reap with songs of joy.
7 Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed,
will come again with joy, shouldering their sheaves.

The years between Queen Victoria's death in 1901 and the start of the First World War in 1914 were years of growth and general prosperity. The inequalities which had characterized Victorian London continued.

One out of five Britons lived in London by 1900. The population of roughly 5 million in 1900 rose to over 7 million by 1911.

Representatives of various trade unions and of the Independent Labour Party, Fabian Society and Social Democratic Federation agreed to form a Labour Party backed by the unions and with its own whips in 1900.

The Labour Representation Committee was founded with Keir Hardie as its leader. The LRC won only two seats at the 1900 general election. The SDF disaffiliated, but more unions signed up.

The LRC affiliated to the Socialist International. The name was changed to the Labour Party in 1906. It formed an electoral pact with the Liberals. The intent was to cause maximum damage to the Unionist government at the forthcoming election. Twenty nine Labour MPs were elected to the House of Commons.

Edwardian London was characterized principally by the burgeoning Women's Suffrage movement. The nationwide movement was spearheaded by Emmeline Pankhurst and her Women's Social and Political Union. Protests and demonstrations intensified during these years. Tension reached a peak between 1912 and 1914 as the movement militarized.

The introduction of the new 'Dreadnought' class battleship and the subsequent naval arms race with Germany prompted David Lloyd George, the chancellor of the exchequer, to introduce a tax on land, to increase income tax and to propose a 'super-tax' on incomes over £5,000 per annum in 1909. He presented these increases as designed to fund social reforms.

The Conservative-dominated House of Lords broke the parliamentary convention that the upper house should not overturn a financial bill when Chancellor David Lloyd George's budget was rejected in 1909. This ensured that House of Lords reform was one of the issues at stake in the next general election.

The election precipitated by the Lords' rejection of the 'People's Budget' resulted in 275 seats for the Liberals, 273 for the Conservatives and 40 for Labour. The budget was then passed. The Irish Nationalists were now in a position to force Irish 'Home Rule' back up the agenda with 82 seats.

Edward VII died in 1910. His son, George V, ensured that the monarchy was more active than it had been in the latter years of Victoria's reign. Edward's funeral brought the royalty of Europe for the last time before war broke out in 1914. Many of the European royals were family relations.

Alfred Jules Ayer was born in St John's Wood in north west London on 29 October 1910. His family was wealthy. They were from continental Europe. His mother, Reine Citroën, was from the Dutch-Jewish family who founded the Citroën car company in France. His father, Jules Ayer, was a Swiss Calvinist financier who worked for the Rothschild family.

Ayer was educated at Ascham St Vincent's School. St. Vincent's was a former boarding preparatory school for boys in the seaside town of Eastbourne in Sussex. He started boarding at the comparatively early age of seven due to the First World War. He won a scholarship to Eaton College when he was 13.

It was at Eton that Ayer became known for his characteristic bravado and precocity. He was keen on sports, particularly rugby. He reputedly played the Eton Wall Game very well.

Ayer was ranked second in his year in the final examinations at Eton. He was first in classics. He unsuccessfully campaigned for the abolition of corporal punishment at the school as a member of Eton's senior council in his final year.

He won a classics scholarship to Christ Church College of Oxford University in 1929. There he studied Greek and philosophy. One of his tutors was Gilbert Ryle. He suggested that Ayer read Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.

He traveled to Vienna in 1933 to meet with Moritz Schlick and other members of the Vienna Circle of logical positivists. He was one of only two English-speaking people to meet and study with the Vienna Circle. W. V. O. Quine was the other.

Ayer was elected to a five-year research fellowship at Christ Church in 1935. He finished writing Language, Truth and Logic in that year. The book brought some of the ideas of the Vienna Circle and the logical empiricists to the attention of the English-speaking world.

He argues for the verification principle of logical positivism. This principle is referred to as the criterion of significance or criterion for meaning. Ayer explains how the principle of verifiability may be applied to the problems of philosophy.

The metaphysical thesis that philosophy affords us knowledge of a transcendent reality was rejected. Assertions are meaningless unless logical or empirical verification is possible. Statements like "God exists" or "charity is good" are not true or untrue but meaningless.

Ayer became strongly involved in politics in the pre-WWII years. He supported the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. He considered joining the Communist Party, but became instead an active member of the British Labour party. He joined the Welsh Guards when WWII broke out and worked for a time interrogating prisoners.

He was Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic at University College London from 1946 until 1959. He returned to Oxford to become Wykeham Professor of Logic at New College. He was president of the Aristotelian Society from 1951 to 1952 and knighted in 1970. He was known for his advocacy of humanism, and was the first executive director of the British Humanist Association (now known as Humanists UK).

Ayer wrote an article entitled, "What I saw when I was dead" in 1988 shortly before his death. He described an unusual near-death experience. The attending physician claimed in 2001 that Ayer had confided to him: "I saw a Divine Being. I'm afraid I'm going to have to revise all my books and opinions." His son Nick, however, said that he had never mentioned this to him. He found his father's words to be extraordinary though.

Bristol Borough was settled in 1681. It was named after Bristol, England. It was originally used as a port and dock because it was located on the Delaware River. It was also next to the mainland route to New York City, Trenton and New England.

Samuel Clift received a land grant from Edmund Andros, Governor of New York. The grant became effective on March 14, 1681. William Penn's Charter from Charles II became effective at the same time. Clift was required by the grant to maintain ferry service across the Delaware River to Burlington, New Jersey. He also had to run a public house or inn. The inn later became known as the George II.

The land for the town became the center for textile mills, foundries, milling and miscellaneous manufacturing in the 18th century. It became a shipping gateway with the building of the 60 mile (96.6 km) long, forty foot wide and five foot deep Delaware Canal. Anthracite coal barges flowed from the Lehigh Canal's end terminal at Easton to Philadelphia.

Bristol Borough was chosen as the end for the Delaware Canal because it already had regular shipping connections to Philadelphia and Delaware River ports. Ships included the era's typical animal powered barges and inland shipping vessels.

Its docks also had regular ferry services to New Jersey and other points east from as early as 1681. The town would receive steamboat service when that technology came to be.

The Pennsylvania Railroad served to connect anthracite to the riverine barge and boat traffic on the canals. The railroad connection provided depot service for the manufacturers. The area was a transportation hub. This made it more attractive for industry.

Bristol Borough included companies manufacturing wall paper and carpet by the 1880's. The docks had sufficient space for a shipyard to construct twelve building slips for the construction of merchant vessels in World War I.

Averell Harriman organized the Bristol Borough shipyards in 1917. He founded the Merchant Shipbuilding Corporation. The name was changed later to Merchant-Sterling. The company would land a contract to build 40 identical cargo ships for the war given the U-boat menace.

The residential area that developed around the shipyards was soon named Harriman, Pennsylvania. Most of the housing built therein is still in use today. Harriman was annexed by Bristol Borough in 1922. Most of the shipping was finished too late to enter World War I, but some of the shipyard's output was used in post-war relief and troop support missions.

The majority of the contracts were canceled in 1919. The ship yards rapidly became excess real estate. The eighty-acres of the shipyard were let out to various concerns between the world wars. One area converted to building amphibious planes.

The flying boat technology was the heart and soul of long distance air travel until the technological advances in the middle years of World War II.

The old shipyards were used to build amphibious and other aircraft during World War II. Most of the manufacturing was not directly war related.

Bristol Borough gained national attention when the song "Bristol Stomp" by The Dovells hit #2 on the Billboard pop chart in 1961. The song remains a local favorite. It is often played at ceremonies, parades and sporting events.

Lauren Holly was born in Bristol, Pennsylvania on October 28, 1963.  Her mother, Michael Ann Holly, is the art historian at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA. Her father, Grant Holly, is a screenwriter and professor of literature at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY.

She has two younger brothers: Nick and Alexander Innes Holly (1977–92). Holly was raised in Geneva, New York. She is a 1981 graduate of Geneva High School. She earned an undergraduate degree in English from Sarah Lawrence College in New York in 1985.

Lauren Michael Holly is a Canadian-American actress. She is known for her roles as Deputy Sheriff Maxine Stewart in the television series Picket Fences, Director Jenny Shepard in the series NCIS and Dr. Betty Rogers on Canadian series Motive.

She played Mary Swanson in Dumb and Dumber, Linda Lee in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Darian Smalls in Beautiful Girls, Cindy Rooney in Any Given Sunday and Gigi in What Women Want.

Smyrna is located northwest of Atlanta in the inner ring of the metropolitan area.

All of the land that today comprises Smyrna and Cobb County was part of the Cherokee Nation up until 1832. The state of Georgia surveyed the Cherokee Nation and divided it into land lots of 160 acres and gold lots of 40 acres.

Gold lots were believed to possibly contain gold. The initial expectation was that a treaty would be negotiated and finalized between the Cherokee Nation and the US Government to open the land to white settlement.

White settlers first arrived in the Smyrna area to claim the land they won in the lottery in the fall of 1832. Tensions were high since the original Cherokee landowners were still living in the area. It is believed that the Cherokee left the Smyrna area by 1835.

The area began to grow after the completion of the Western and Atlantic Railroad in 1842. It was known by several names. It was called Varner's Station, Ruff's Siding, Neal Dow and Ruff's Station. The city was incorporated with the name Smyrna in 1872.

It was named by Greeks for the Biblical city of Smyrna, modern day Izmir in Turkey. It was the home of the famous Christian martyr Polycarp.

Georgia Governor Joseph E. Brown established an officer's training camp at Smyrna Camp Ground on April 23, 1861. It was selected because of its easy rail access. The training camp was named Camp Brown. The nearby Smyrna Academy was also designated as a training facility for Confederate soldiers. Volunteers quickly signed up after the Governor's request.

Two Civil War battles occurred in the area. The Battle of Smyrna Camp Ground and the Battle of Ruff's Mill were both fought on July 4, 1864. The area's businesses, homes and 1849 covered bridge were burned by Sherman's troops.

The 1890 census recorded 280 residents for the village. New technologies of the time, such as electricity, telephones and motor vehicles, were quickly adopted by the local citizenry as the town grew during the first part of the 20th century.

The Atlanta Northern Railway established trolley service to Marietta and Atlanta in 1905. AT&T opened a phone office in 1905 to serve 21 customers. The first bank was chartered in 1911. The local academy became Smyrna High School sometime on or before 1915.

Smyrna remained an agricultural area for the most part until the 1940's. The economic profile changed when construction began on the Bell Bomber aircraft plant a few miles north in Marietta in 1942. New jobs were created. Production began in the spring of 1943. Employees produced 663 B-29's for the Army Air Corps. The plant closed immediately after the war.

The 1950's were a period of rapid growth for Smyrna. The population mushroomed from 2005 residents in 1950 to more than 10,000 at the decade's end. The Bell Bomber plant was reopened as Lockheed Georgia in 1951. The resumption of aircraft production created new jobs and a demand for new housing.

Smyrna nearly doubled in size during the 1960's when the population grew to 19,157. A new 4,000 square foot public library opened in 1961. It was built at a cost of $54,000. It was later expanded in 1969 and 1973. Cobb Center Mall featured the first suburban Rich's department store. It opened on South Cobb Drive in 1963.

Julia Roberts was born on October 28, 1967, in Smyrna, Georgia. Betty Lou Bredemus (1934–2015) and Walter Grady Roberts (1933–1977) were her parents. She is of English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, German and Swedish descent. Her father was a Baptist. Her mother was a Roman Catholic. She was raised Catholic.

Her older brother Eric Roberts (b. 1956), older sister Lisa Roberts Gillan (b. 1965) and niece, Emma Roberts, are also actors. She also had a younger half-sister named Nancy Motes (1976–2014).
Roberts' parents were one-time actors and playwrights. They met while performing in theatrical productions for the armed forces. They later co-founded the Atlanta Actors and Writers Workshop in Atlanta.

They ran a children's acting school in Decatur while they were expecting Julia. The children of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King attended the school. Walter Roberts was their daughter Yolanda Denise King's acting coach. Mrs. King paid Mrs. Roberts's hospital bill when Julia was born as a thank-you for his service.

Julia is an American actress and producer. She became a Hollywood star after headlining the romantic comedy Pretty Woman (1990). She has won three Golden Globe Awards out of eight nominations. She has been nominated for four Academy Awards for her performance in films. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Erin Brockovich (2000).

Her most successful films include Mystic Pizza (1988), Steel Magnolias (1989), Pretty Woman (1990), Sleeping with the Enemy (1991), The Pelican Brief (1993), My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), Notting Hill (1999), Runaway Bride (1999), Ocean's Eleven (2001), Ocean's Twelve (2004), Charlie Wilson's War (2007), Valentine's Day (2010), Eat Pray Love (2010), Money Monster (2016) and Wonder (2017).

Joshi kosei (high school girls) became a leading influence with the loose socks boom in 1996.  The development of products such as fashion and makeup items, snacks and services was directed toward the joshi kosei market.

Songs by Tetsuya Komuro became big hits. Komuro was an early pioneer of dance music in Japan. He rose to stardom in the 1990's as a producer with a long string of hits.

Artists such as TRF (TK Rave Factory), Tomomi Kahala, Namie Amuro, Ami Suzuki, hitomi, Ryoko Shinohara and H Jungle with t became popular. He composed the musical score to the Japanese anime film Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. The movie was based on the Capcom video game.

Namie Amuro’s fashion style was imitated by girls who were given the name Amurer. They wore miniskirts, thick-soled boots and long cardigans. The trend shifted from Chanelers (dressed with Chanel items) to Amurers.

Fukumura Mizuki was born on October 30, 1996 in Tokyo, Japan. She is the current leader of Morning Musume in Hello! Project. She joined Morning Musume as a 9th generation member along with Ikuta Erina, Sayashi Riho and Suzuki Kanon on January 2, 2011.

She was appointed as the new leader of Morning Musume by Michishige Sayumi in 2014. Mizu-chan's leadership has been characterized by her appreciation of artistry in different styles.

She has loved Morning Musume since she was a 1 year old.

Your Shelter
あなたの避難所を建てる
Anata no hinansho o tateru
ps91

Shelter from the storm
protects the bodily form
and the ability to perform
despite alarm as the norm.

The reduction in the threat of destruction
provides room for production.

It is a refuge from the 'too much'
of 'that such'
that threatens malfunction
in your fluxion.

Education is more than the feel of the need.
There is protection in the direction you draw from relief.

Nothing to drink in the refrigerator?
The choice of what to buy makes you your own liberator.

Protection will deliver you from harm.
You won't have to 'buy the farm.'

A man sits on a horse to explain to his youth
how the growth of grain defends the truth.

The son of furrows is rich in the land.
His knowledge is worth what his labor demands.

Selection by election will keep you from falling to death by disease.
You will find your way to pray by degrees.

The body grows outside
the spirit it hides
except for the shine
energy divines.

The ocean is the god of all to the cute girl who beholds it.
The wave is the stem of the scale in the rise and fall of known wit.

The more convenient way
to restrain the fire of desire is to make your play
resemble a temple as it stands in the day
as though it will last always
in the worth of what you have to say.

Nothing against the scythe of time can make sure defense
save the brave bearing to transcend the grave when he takes you hence.

Faithfulness beats fate.
You will not lose to hate.

Examine your love to support your respect.
Benefit that lasts is the characteristic to detect.

Fear results from the ignorance of cause.
Ignorance is a condition that signals the pause
to consider deliverance from that which gnaws
with or without claws.

The soul is ajar, secure and hospitable
to the spirit that seeks shelter that is formidable
against harmful agents that are visible or invisible.

Were the gods created by the experience of fear?
Consider the divine design of nature as dear.

You will see light despite your anguish.
Satisfaction will be found in your knowledge of language.

You will be able to deal gently with the wayward
when you learn to treat weakness as though it were tailored.

Power is managed by those who are prepared
for the consequence of responsibility responsibly shared.


The hunter shoots for game
in the cosmic frame for fame.

He braves the primitive energy of the hunt
to fathom ancestral memory like a storm front.

Classical consciousness is written to reconstruct
power from the time the lightning struck.

Law enforcement is the will to power
in the field of experience with authority as the tower.

The dimension of mind in time
moves like a river through the unthought forest of the sublime.

The new pond in the Greek sky
creates surprise as a pleasant find.

Learn from concepts derived from experience.
The concepts are elements that help you to discard the spurious.

Seek peace and pursue it, but defend your self.
Stand your ground to hallow it. Tend the place where you dwell.

Wisdom denotes the pursuit of the best end by the best means.
That action is best which promotes happiness for all who can be seen.
That action is worst which engenders the most misery to glean.

The notion of rightness looks to find the universally good.
The good news of salvation serves you as it should.

The prestige of majesty builds fortune as shelter in experience.
Investigate the seniority of love to reject the deleterious.

You will steer clear of the fear of terror by night.
You won't have to fight or take flight
when you play it right.

The attack that comes by day
will have to go away.

The malady that stalks in the darkness
won't leave you heartless.

The sickness that strikes at mid-day
won't cause you to stray.

The right of possession and redemption is yours.
Redemption can be called that which cures.

The great outdoors implores
you to score for what you adore.

A thousand will stand by your side.
Ten thousand will supply a high with peptides
inside where you reside.

Good work is your treasure. Be ready to care.
Show the world that you know how to share.

Build a foundation that won't shift where you stand.
Your plan to expand will find that it can.

The angels are angles that show you the light.
They shine for your mind to see what is right.

The elegant beauty of autumn fun
helps rate the state of the date  to rake leaves in the sun.

You will use your own hands
to decipher your plan.

You will not break if a rock
gives you a shock.

You will keep your distance from venom
to maintain your plenum.

You will respect Mr. Gator
like an instant crusader.
He's not a good grader.

Live a good life.
Love is your husband or wife.

Learn from the strong.
Sift right from wrong.

You will be remembered long
for singing your song
to please the whole throng.



91 Qui habitat

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, *
abides under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 He shall say to the Lord,
"You are my refuge and my stronghold, *
my God in whom I put my trust."
3 He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter *
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with his pinions,
and you shall find refuge under his wings; *
his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, *
nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6 Of the plague that stalks in the darkness, *
nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid-day.
7 A thousand shall fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand, *
but it shall not come near you.
8 Your eyes have only to behold *
to see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, *
and the Most High your habitation,
10 There shall no evil happen to you, *
neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, *
to keep you in all your ways.
12 They shall bear you in their hands, *
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; *
you shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet.
14 Because he is bound to me in love,
therefore will I deliver him; *
I will protect him, because he knows my Name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; *
I am with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and bring him to honor.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, *
and show him my salvation.


Isa.53:11
Out of his anguish he shall see light;
he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.

Heb. 5:2
He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself was subject to weakness...

Mk.10:41
...to sit at my right hand or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.

Burlington is located in northern Vermont. It is on the western border right next to Lake Champlain.

The town's position helped it develop into a port of entry and center for trade. The capacity for trade was increased after completion of the Champlain Canal in 1823, the Erie Canal in 1825 and the Chambly Canal in 1843.

Wharves allowed steamboats to connect freight and passengers with the Rutland & Burlington Railroad and Vermont Central Railroad. Burlington became a bustling lumbering and manufacturing center.

It was incorporated as a city in 1865. Its Victorian era prosperity left behind much fine architecture. Buildings by Ammi B. Young, H.H. Richardson and McKim, Mead & White stand as testimony to the appreciation of design.The waterfront was extended by construction of the Pine Street Barge Canal in 1870.

John Dewey was born in Burlington, VT on October 20, 1859 to a family of modest means. He was one of four boys born to Archibald Sprague Dewey and Lucina Artemisia Rich Dewey.

Archibald was a grocer. Lucina was the daughter of a judge. Their second son was also named John, but he died in an accident on January 17, 1859. The second John Dewey was born October 20, 1859, forty weeks after the death of his older brother.

Lucina insisted that their sons attend college. They were the first generation of Dewey's to do so in the country. John attended the University of Vermont ike his older, surviving brother, Davis Rich Dewey.

H.A.P. Torrey was the professor of philosophy at UVM. He was an ethical intuitionist. He taught that the intuitive awareness of value forms the foundation for ethical knowledge. He was a supporter of Kant's morality. John graduated from UVM in 1879.

He studied privately with Torrey after his graduation. He taught for two years as a high-school teacher in Oil City, Pennsylvania and one teaching elementary school in the small town of Charlotte, Vermont.

He went to Johns Hopkins University to study with George Sylvester Morris, Charles Sanders Peirce, Herbert Baxter Adams and G. Stanley Hall in 1882. He received his Ph.D. from the School of Arts & Sciences in 1884.

He taught at the University of Michigan from 1884 to 1894. He published his first two books, Psychology (1887), and Leibniz's New Essays Concerning the Human Understanding (1888). Both books expressed Dewey's early commitment to British neo-Hegelianism. Dewey attempted a synthesis between idealism and experimental science in Psychology.

He  joined the newly founded University of Chicago in 1894 and stayed there until 1904. He developed his belief in Rational Empiricism. This started his association with the newly forming pragmatic philosophy.

He initiated the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools in 1896 in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. He was able to actualize the pedagogical beliefs that provided material for his first major work on education, The School and Society (1899).

Dewey's educational theories were presented in My Pedagogic Creed (1897), The School and Society (1900), The Child and the Curriculum (1902), Democracy and Education (1916), Schools of To-morrow (c1915) with Evelyn Dewey and Experience and Education (1938).

He thought that education should build upon itself. Knowledge that has been gained has to be tested. Growth in knowledge should not be limited to progression. It should be built on experience.

This theory of experience has continuity and interaction as the two main components. Continuity describes valuable lessons that are learned by going through different trials in life. Lessons from the trials are carried through time.

Interaction challenges continuity to respond to the current experience. Convergence in the assimilation of knowledge is beneficial with respect for the emergence of productivity for service.

He was professor of philosophy at Columbia University from 1904 until 1930. He was one of the founders of the New School for Social Research in 1919.

John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform. He is one of the primary figures associated with the philosophy of pragmatism. He is considered one of the fathers of functional psychology.

He is known for his advocacy of democracy. He considered school and civil society to be the fundamental elements needed for reconstruction to encourage experimental intelligence in plurality. He died on June 1, 1952.

Dewey advocated for democracy with logic conditioned by practical considerations as pragmatic philosophy. His approach proved to be too open-ended for youth without self-motivation in organization.

Education like democracy has to have a framework that provides direction. When there is no guidance with respect to the value of self-limitation in the achievement of goals, the uneducated choose to prevent education for others.

The New York City Subway opened in 1904. The construction helped bind the new city together. Additional bridges to Brooklyn tied together above ground routes. Manhattan experienced large arrivals of African-Americans in the 1920's. It was part of the Great Migration from the southern United States for the Harlem Renaissance.

This change was part of a larger boom time in the Prohibition era that included new skyscrapers competing for the skyline. New York City became the most populous city in the world in 1925. It overtook London in size. London had reigned as the largest for a century. Manhattan's majority white ethnic group declined from 98.7% in 1900 to 58.3% by 1990

The metropolitan area surpassed the 10 million mark in the early 1930's. It became the first megacity in human history. The difficult years of the Great Depression saw the election of reformer Fiorello La Guardia as mayor. Tammany Hall had fallen after eighty years of political dominance.

World War II veterans created a post-war economic boom. Large housing tracts were developed in eastern Queens and Nassau County. Similar suburban areas were built in New Jersey. New York emerged from the war unscathed as the leading city of the world.

Wall Street laid claim to America's place as the world's dominant economic power. The United Nations Headquarters was completed in 1952. New York's global geopolitical influence was solidified. The rise of abstract expressionism in the city precipitated New York's displacement of Paris as the center of the art world.

Viggo Mortensen was born in New York City on October 20, 1958. He was the son of Grace Gamble (née Atkinson; July 8, 1928 – April 25, 2015) and Viggo Peter Mortensen Sr. (May 8, 1929 – March 2, 2017). His mother was American. His father was Danish. They met in Norway. His maternal grandfather was a Canadian from Nova Scotia. His maternal grandmother's family was from New England.

The family moved to Venezuela, then Denmark and eventually settled in Argentina in the provinces of Córdoba, Chaco and Buenos Aires. Viggo attended primary school and acquired a fluent proficiency in Spanish. His father managed poultry farms and ranches. He was baptized Lutheran.

His parents divorced when he was 11. He and his mother returned to New York where he spent the rest of his childhood. He graduated from Watertown High School in Watertown in 1976.

He attended St. Lawrence University in Canton. He earned a bachelor's degree in Spanish Studies and Politics in 1980. He lived in England and Spain after graduation, then moved back to Denmark. He took various jobs such as driving trucks in Esbjerg and selling flowers in Copenhagen. He eventually returned to the United States to pursue an acting career.

Viggo Mortensen is an actor, producer, author, musician, photographer, poet and painter.

Mortensen made his film debut in Peter Weir's 1985 thriller Witness and appeared in many notable films of subsequent years. He was in The Indian Runner (1991), Carlito's Way (1993), Crimson Tide (1995), Daylight (1996), The Portrait of a Lady (1996), G.I. Jane (1997), A Perfect Murder (1998), A Walk on the Moon (1999) and 28 Days (2000).

Mortensen received international attention in the early 2000's with his role as Aragorn in the epic film trilogy The Lord of the Rings.

Mortensen won critical acclaim for David Cronenberg's crime thriller A History of Violence in 2005. Another Cronenberg film, Eastern Promises (2007), earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor two years later. A third teaming with Cronenberg in A Dangerous Method (2011) resulted in a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture.

Other well-received films have included Appaloosa (2008) and Far from Men (2014). He received a second Best Actor nomination in 2017 at the 89th Academy Awards for his role in Captain Fantastic.
