Happy are those who learn from experience.
They get to be less serious about the mysterious.

The hope for improvement transcends past performance.
The sound for this chorus is fantastically enormous.

Those who make earth their foundation
build up from the ground to increase structured gradation.

Those who make heaven their destiny
find endless ecstasy in reasonable expectancy. 

Those who make the waters their blood
survive the trial by water in the flood. 

Those who believe in the promise 
of living into the promised province 
of likeness with divinity however modest
honor the homage to being honest.

Those who demand justice for the oppressed
insist on sharing food to give hunger rest.
The expectation of an honest return is there
or the giving as part of living isn't shared.

Liberation sets the prisoner free.
Sight opens the eyes of the blind to see.
Lift raises up those who were down on bent knees.

Space is where the air takes place.
Freedom reigns as the natural case.

The bird takes flight from any threat as absurd
to leave the scene as seen for a word.

The sound of the sea resounds inside the shell.
The beach doesn't impeach the tell from the bell.

Fishing, smelting and dye gave the city by the sea a name
that bore witness to an economy with fame.

The world knew that their production produced profit.
There was enough there for the widow to feed the prophet 
from the raven's brook who saw fit to ascribe honor to the promise.

It was as if their abundance produced more
than the drought had reduced in the grain that had been stored.

The sanctuary for providence was not made by human hands,
but the management of labor satisfied reasonable demands.

Those who contributed from their abundance 
set an example for giving to overcome reluctance.

They couldn't give beyond the need to help feed the poor
but their sponsorship expanded appreciation of things stored
by those who didn't hoard to keep things above board. 

Truth loves righteousness.
The feeling of rightness feels timeless.

The perfect stranger looked for the right thing to say
to make the inside of the mystery go away.

The man from the strange land had a plan
to make a profit from the oddness at hand.

Grace inside the field of perception
was the elegant way to avoid deception.

Friendship cares for the stranger
in order to diminish danger.

Charity sustains the orphan and widow
much like condensation in a cloud billows.

Repentance is for improvement
or it is not worth the movement.

The LORD will reign forever.
This rule, time will not sever.
The God of Life is for all generations.
The worth of love will be felt by all nations.

Yea Yah!
You are worthy of awe!

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!

Zarephath

Zarephath is preserved in the name of the modern village, Sarafand. The site was known as Sarepta or Sariptu in antiquity. The location is about 8.5 miles (13.5 km) south of Sidon and 14 miles (23 km) north of Tyre.

The first Books of Kings (17:8-24) describes the city as being subject to Sidon in the time of Ahab. The prophet Elijah multiplied the meal and oil of the widow of Zarephath (Sarepta) after leaving the brook Cherith. The prophet raised her son from the dead there. The incident is also referred to by Jesus in Luke's Gospel.

Sidon is the Greek name for 'fishery’.  The ancient Phoenician port city of Sidonia was also known as Saida. It is located today in Lebanon. It is about 25 miles south of Beirut. Sidon was the most powerful city-state of ancient Phoenicia along with the city of Tyre. It first  manufactured the purple dye which made Tyre famous. The dye was so rare and expensive that the color purple became synonymous with royalty.

The Princess Jezebel would later become Queen of Israel. She was the daughter of Ethbaal, the King of Sidon, in the 9th century BCE. She married King Ahab of Israel to cement ties between the two kingdoms.

Zarephath in Hebrew became the eponym for any smelter, forge or metalworking shop. The Roman Sarepta was a port about a kilometer to the south in the 1st century CE. It is mentioned by Josephus in Jewish Antiquities (Book VIII, xiii:2) and by Pliny in Natural History (Book V, 17).

1 Kings 17:8-9
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, ‘Go now to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow there to feed you.’

Hebrews 9:24
Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

Mark 12:44
'All of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.’

Moscow had been the capital for Russia. Peter the Great moved his government to the newly built Saint Petersburg on the Baltic coast in 1712.

The population of Moscow decreased after losing the status as capital of the empire. It shrunk from 200,000 in the 17th century to 130,000 in 1750. The population grew more than tenfold over the remaining duration of the Russian Empire. It reached 1.8 million by 1915.

The Moscovites were evacuated when Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812. Napoleon hoped to compel Tsar Alexander I of Russia to cease trading with British merchants through proxies in an effort to pressure the United Kingdom to sue for peace.

It is suspected today that the Moscow fire which ensued initially started as a result of Russian sabotage.  An estimated three-quarters of the city lay in ruin in the fire's wake.

The Arbat Street had been in existence since at least the 15th century, but it was developed into a prestigious area during the 18th century. It was destroyed in the fire of 1812, but it was rebuilt completely in the early 19th century.

National political and military successes from 1812 through 1855 calmed the critics and validated efforts to produce a more enlightened and stable society.

Fyodor Dostoevsky was born on 11 November 1821 in Moscow. He was the second child of Dr. Mikhail Dostoevsky and Maria Dostoevskaya (born Nechayeva). He was raised in the family home in the grounds of the Mariinsky Hospital for the Poor. The hospital was in a lower class district on the edges of Moscow.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
(11 November 1821 – 9 February 1881)

Fyodor was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist and philosopher. His literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia. His imagination engages  a variety of philosophical and religious themes.

His most acclaimed works include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). His 1864 novella Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature.

Dostoevsky's parents were part of a multi-ethnic and multi-denominational noble family, its branches including Russian Orthodox Christians, Polish Roman Catholics and Ukrainian Eastern Catholics.

The family traced its roots back to a Tatar. Aslan Chelebi-Murza defected from the Golden Horde in 1389 to join the forces of Dmitry Donskoy. Donskoy was the first prince of Muscovy to openly challenge the Mongol authority in the region.

Aslan's descendant, Danilo Irtishch, was ennobled and given lands in the Pinsk region in 1509. This region was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania for centuries. It is now in modern-day Belarus. Danilo was ennobled for his services under a local prince. His progeny took the name "Dostoevsky" based on a village there called Dostoïevo.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky was introduced to literature at an early age through fairy tales and legends. The tales gave way to books by Russian and foreign authors. His mother died in 1837 when he was 15. He left school to enter the Nikolayev Military Engineering Institute around the same time.

He worked as an engineer after graduation. He enjoyed a lavish lifestyle briefly. He translated books to earn extra money. He wrote his first novel, Poor Folk, in the mid-1840's. This gave him entry into St. Petersburg's literary circles.

He was arrested in 1849 for belonging to a socialist literary group that discussed banned books critical of "Tsarist Russia". He was sentenced to death but the sentence was commuted at the last moment. He spent four years in a Siberian prison camp, followed by six years of compulsory military service in exile.

Dostoevsky worked as a journalist in the following years. He published and edited several magazines of his own and later A Writer's Diary, a collection of his writings. He began to travel around western Europe and developed a gambling addiction. The addiction led to financial hardship. He had to beg for money for a time. He eventually became one of the most widely read and highly regarded Russian writers.

His psychological struggle was typical for a modern man in the 19th century. His civilized self entertained self-destructive behaviors in order to reconnect with primitive vitality. He felt he had to peel away the layers of social conditioning to find the meaning of redemption for salvation.

He was a stranger to the meaning of life until he found the way to write about it as an expression that held meaning for others. The modern writer needs to explore ways to find the vitality of life without the self-destructive behaviors.

The reconstruction of classical consciousness is something that has been paired with the modern institution of Republic. The state of affairs had included slavery as a means for social ascension with the declaration of an immoral institution as legal. It was an antecedent to socialism. It wasn't an expression of capitalism as some would argue.

Peekskill is situated on a bay along the east side of the Hudson River across from Jones Point.
Jan Peeck made the first recorded contact in the early 1640's with the Lenape people of this area after the establishment of the province of New Netherland, New Amsterdam. The name Peekskill derives from a combination of Mr. Peek's surname and the Dutch word for stream, kil or kill.

Annsville Creek and McGregory Brook were useful locations for sawmills and grinding mills convenient to river shipping. Mechanical processes were set up to turn wheat and corn into flour, tallow into candles, leather into shoes and rags into paper.

Slaughterhouses were important for food supply. The river docks allowed transport of supply items and soldiers to the several other fort garrisons placed to prevent British naval passage between Albany and New York City.

Fort Hill Park, the site of Camp Peekskill, contained five barracks and two redoubts. It was part of Fort Independence. The complex was built in August 1776.

A British raiding force of about 500 men landed at Peekskill on 23 Mar 1777. The supply depot was evacuated and the supplies that could not be removed were burned.

The fall of Fort Clinton and Fort Montgomery to the British on 6 Oct 1777 forced patriot General Israel Putnam to order the evacuation of the defenses at Peekskill, including Fort Independence.

The evacuation did not go well.  The British sent another raiding force to Peekskill and found the warehouses full three days after the decision to evacuate on 9 Oct 1777. The evacuation wagon trains were still waiting to leave. The British again burned what they could not carry off. Fort Independence and the supply depot were destroyed and were not rebuilt.

The site was obliterated by quarry operations.

African-Americans had experience with Peekskill from its earliest days. There is evidence indicating the use of Negro slavery from about 1750 through 1825. This population could serve in the Continental Army as a condition for their freedom by the time the Revolution in 1776. Peekskill saw several “free blacks” well established in the community before the end of the Civil War.

Abolitionist minister Henry Ward Beecher lived at his East Main Street mansion in the later 1800's. His sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, authored “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” the powerful anti-slavery work.

A summer concert was planned from New York City to take place along Oregon Road in Peekskill August 1949. The keynote entertainer was to be Paul Robeson. Robeson made a speech to the World Peace Conference in Paris that month.

He was quoted as having said that no African Americans would fight for the US in any prospective war against the Soviet Union. The planned benefit concert for the Civil Rights Congress had to be cancelled amid White Nationalist and anti-communist violence. An effigy of Robeson was lynched in the town.

Another concert was held in  Van Cortlandtville, the town right next to Peeksville. The publicity drew a crowd of around 20,000. Two men with rifles were discovered and removed prior to any violence.
It was one of the earliest performances of Pete Seeger's "If I Had a Hammer". Robeson sang surrounded by union guards and volunteers from the audience as protection against other snipers.

Area police and state troopers directed exiting traffic down a single road into an ambush following the event. Rocks were thrown through car windows. Some vehicles were overturned. Their occupants were beaten without police intervention. One hundred forty people were injured.

These Peekskill Riots were subsequently well-publicized in the news. Folk songs were written and sung. The incident was described as a major event in E.L. Doctorow's historical fiction novel The Book of Daniel.

Tucci was born in Peekskill, New York on 11 November 1961. He grew up in nearby Katonah. His parents were both of Italian descent with roots in Calabria. Joan (née Tropiano) was a secretary and writer. Stanley Tucci, Sr. was an art teacher at Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, New York. Tucci is the oldest of three children.

Stanley is an American actor, writer, producer and film director. He has been nominated three times for Golden Globes. He won twice. One was for his title role in Winchell (1998). The other was for his supporting role as Adolf Eichmann in Conspiracy (2001). Both were HBO films. He also received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Winchell.

He was nominated for Broadway's Tony Award as Best Actor in a Play for his role as Johnny in the 2002 revival of Terrence McNally's Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.

Tucci portrayed George Harvey in 2009. Harvey was a serial killer of young girls in The Lovely Bones. It was Peter Jackson's adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel. He received Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations.  He consulted with retired FBI profiler John Douglas to prepare for the role.

Tucci played Dr. Abraham Erskine in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger. He has appeared in such films as The Devil Wears Prada (2006) and Julie & Julia (2009). Both rolls were opposite Meryl Streep.

He played Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games and its sequels, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2. He divined the role of the Ancient Greek God Dionysus in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters in 2013.
He has appeared in a number of other films and tv shows as well.

Huntington Woods is a suburb of Detroit, located in southeastern Oakland County, Michigan. The population was 6,238 at the 2010 census.

The first land grant in Huntington Woods was signed by President James Monroe in 1824. The land was granted to J. Lockwood, a War of 1812 veteran.

The area was comprised by some nine farms until 1916. Fred Remole plotted and recorded a part of the territory as Banks Park. Huntington Woods, Manor, Bronx and Huntington Park were the subdivisions. The unplotted fifty-acre tract called Hannan's West was regarded as part of the area.

These subdivisions were known as Royal Oak Township until incorporated as the village of Huntington Woods in 1926. The village was later incorporated as a city in 1932.

The land that now constitutes the City of Huntington Woods was ceded to a dozen landowners in parcels ranging from 40 to 320 acres between 1830 and 1837. Mr. Edward C. Mathews received a land grant in what is now the “The Hill” Historic District in January 1834.

Huntington Woods became home to many of Detroit’s upper-level executives beginning in the early 1920's. The executives were building elegant English-influenced homes in a style similar to two of Detroit’s established neighborhoods: Sherwood Forest and Palmer Park. The city was home to advertising executives, automobile designers, bankers and architects along with other business owners.

All dwellings were required to be single-family and built with pressed brick fronts or cement block covered with stucco. Flat roof dwellings were not to be erected on any lot in the subdivision. Garages could be erected, but only for the private use of the homeowner and only after the permanent residence was constructed. All garages were required to correspond in architecture and material to the main residence. Each street had specific stipulations as to the placement of buildings on the lots.

All boundary lines were to be designated by hedges or woven wire fences with iron posts of an approved pattern. None were to exceed four feet in height and had to be set back fifty feet from the front line. All lots were to be used for private residences.

Kirsten Bell was born on July 18, 1980, in Huntington Woods, Michigan. She was raised there by her mother Lorelei (née Frygier). She was a registered nurse. Her father, Tom Bell, works as a television news director in Sacramento, CA.

Her parents divorced when she was two years old. Her mother is of Polish descent and her father has German, Scottish and Irish ancestry. She has two stepsisters from her father's second marriage. She also has two half-sisters and two half-brothers from her mother's second marriage.

She attended Shrine Catholic High School in nearby Royal Oak.  She won the starring role in the school's 1997 production of The Wizard of Oz as Dorothy Gale and also appeared in productions of Fiddler on the Roof (1995), Lady, Be Good (1996), and Li'l Abner (1998). She was named the yearbook's "Best Looking Girl" by senior class vote in 1998, the year she graduated.

She moved to New York City to attend New York University's Tisch School of the Arts shortly after her high school graduation. She majored in musical theater. Bell left a few credits shy of graduating during her senior year in 2001 to take a role in the Broadway musical version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Kristen Anne Bell is an American actress. She gained critical acclaim for her first major role as the title character in the teen noir drama television series Veronica Mars (2004–07). She was awarded a Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television for her performance. She reprised the eponymous role in the 2014 film continuation of the series.

Bell starred as Mary Lane in the film Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical (2005), a reprise of the role she had played in the New York musical upon which the film was based. She starred as Elle Bishop in the sci-fi drama series Heroes from 2007 to 2008. She voiced the titular narrator in the teen drama television series Gossip Girl from 2007 to 2012.

She had her breakout film role as the title character in Forgetting Sarah Marshall in 2008. She has since appeared in a number of comedy films including Couples Retreat (2009), When in Rome (2010), You Again (2010), The Boss (2016), Bad Moms (2016) and A Bad Moms Christmas (2017).

Bell garnered further recognition for voicing Princess Anna in the Disney animated fantasy film Frozen (2013), the short films Frozen Fever (2015) and Olaf's Frozen Adventure (2017), and the upcoming Frozen 2 (2019). She starred as Jeannie van der Hooven, the female lead on the Showtime series House of Lies from 2012 to 2016.

Fukuoka is the capital city for the prefecture of the same name. It is situated on the northern shore of the Japanese island of Kyushu.

Kublai Khan of the Mongol Empire turned his attention towards Japan starting in 1268. The Khanate exerted a new external pressure on an area with which it had no experience. Kublai first sent an envoy to Japan to make the Shogunate acknowledge the Khan's suzerainty. The Kamakura shogunate refused. Mongolia repeatedly sent envoys thereafter to no avail.

Kublai mounted an invasion of the northern part of Kyushu with a fleet of 900 ships and 33,000 troops in 1274. Soldiers from Goryeo on the Korean Peninsula were included. This initial invasion was defeated by a combination of incompetence and severe storms.

Japanese samurai built a stone barrier 20 km (12 mi) in length bordering the coast of Hakata Bay in what is now the city of Fukuoka. The wall was 2–3 meters in height. It had a base width of 3 meters. It was constructed between 1276 and 1277. It was excavated in the 1930's.

Kublai sent another envoy to Japan in 1279. Hōjō Tokimune of the Hōjō clan (1251–1284) was the Eighth Regent at the time. He declined the offer and beheaded the five Mongolian emissaries after summoning them to Kamakura.

Kublai organized another attack on Fukuoka Prefecture in 1281. He mobilized 140,000 soldiers and 4,000 ships. The Japanese defenders numbered around 40,000. They were no match for the Mongols.

The invasion force made it as far as Dazaifu, 15 km (9 mi) south of the city of Fukuoka. The Japanese were again aided by severe weather. This time a typhoon struck a crushing blow to the Mongolian troops and thwarted the invasion.

It was this typhoon that came to be called the Kamikaze (Divine Wind).

The modern city was formed on April 1, 1889 with the merger of the former cities of Hakata and Fukuoka. Hakata was the port and merchant district historically. It was more associated with the area's culture. It remains the main commercial area today.

The Fukuoka area was home to many samurai. Its name has been used since Kuroda Nagamasa, the first daimyō of Chikuzen Province, named it after his birthplace in Okayama Prefecture. The "old Fukuoka" is the main shopping area. It is now called Tenjin.

A meeting was held to decide the name for the new city when Hakata and Fukuoka decided to merge. Hakata was initially chosen, but a group of samurai crashed the meeting and forced those present to choose Fukuoka as the name for the merged city.

Hakata is still used to refer to that same area of the city. It is most commonly used to refer to the city's train station, Hakata Station. The dialect is called Hakata-ben.

Fukuoka Tawā is a 234-meter (768 ft) tall tower located in the Momochihama area of Fukuoka, Japan. It is the tallest seaside tower in the country. The highest observation deck has a 360 degree view of the surrounding area at 123m. The most popular time to visit is at sunset.

The tower has a triangular cross-section which is covered with 8000 half-mirrors. This gives it  the appearance of a skyscraper. It has been given the nickname "Mirror Sail" because of this. The half-mirrors reflect the sky when viewed from the exterior but allow visitors to see outside while riding elevators to the top.

The space between the base and the observation decks is hollow and unoccupied. There are three observation decks. There is one at 116 meters. There is a café/lounge deck at 120 meters. The highest is at 123 metres above the ground.  A 111-metre television mast above this level rises.

Fukuoka Tower was finished in 1989. It took a total of 14 months to build at a cost of ¥6,000,000,000. That is roughly US $50,000,000 in 2015 terms. It was designed by Nikken Sekkei. It was built on reclaimed land out of Hakata Bay

The tower appears in the Japanese film Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994).  Godzilla destroys the tower in a battle between the titular monsters.

The city is most famous for its Hakata ramen dish. It's made with thin noodles and the rich broth made from tonkotsu or pork bone.

Tanaka Reina was born on November 11, 1989 in Fukuoka, Japan. She is a Japanese pop-rock singer. She is one of the vocalists in the band LoVendoЯ and a former sixth generation member of the J-pop group Morning Musume. Her professional first name is spelled in hiragana to distinguish her from the Japanese actress Tanaka Rena whose name is the same in kanji.
