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.

Uranus reaches opposition on Oct. 23. It lies opposite to our Sun in our sky, so rises at sunset, stays up all night and sets at sunrise.

The Moon and the Beehive Cluster will make a close approach. The Beehive is in Cancer.

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.
