The broken bowl bell
held food quite well
until it fell.
The squeaking squeal from the wheel
yields wealth in health appeal
from the way the appeal feels.
Mop up the mess.
It's part of the test.
Sweep up the ceramic.
You won't have to panic.
This piece was shaped like a diamond.
My mind looked to the horizon.
A diamond shines bright
with the facets of light’s life
in a mind with insight.
She smiles for miles
with the delight of her sight.
Diamonds start as coal.
Earth is the source for the intense force that cajoles
the carbon in its moles to make tiny holes
extol less space for lex taste holding the philosopher’s stone
as a blown tome now known
as the most remarkable clone.
Opaque matter, darker than night,
becomes transparent, shining sparkles in light.
Hardship hardens your core for sure
to make your heart shine as pure.
Purity is the cure that lures.
Performers stay healthy
so their products are wealthy.
The best work smart with rested heart
for the next test to start.
These followed their food.
These chopped what the beaver chewed.
These grew what they could.
These shot from where they stood.
These worked in mines.
These hunted from blinds.
These worked in fields.
These negotiated deals.
These squealed for appeals.
These worked in a factory.
These made customers happy.
These worked in the field.
'No mind' was their shield.
Mugwort and hemp
healed that which was bent.
The redeemer’s redemption came
by correction in detention for those who lost their way to fame
and became lame with respect for the rules of the game
These formed conception with education
to avoid the deception of perception
by the sensation of the senses.
All these weathered the storm;
while these struggled through thorns.
These strengthened their homes
while these burned diseased bones.
When the mist came with Spring.
these felt they had to travel and sing.
When they strayed from the path
they became children of wrath.
They rode and they fought.
They forgot what they had been taught.
Some went to the sea to travel in ships
to ply their trade without loose lips.
They moved straight on the ocean
when the crab didn't make the motion.
They beheld the wonders of the deep.
Things went so well they felt that they could weep.
Then a storm bossed the wind and the waves of the sea.
They rose so high they tossed the ship like a flea on a sheep.
The ship mounted the heavens then fell back to the depths.
Their hearts melted groan. Some actually wept.
They staggered and fell like the most practiced of drunkards.
They looked to the sky and prayed for their mothers.
The wind carried their prayer to the height of the sky.
They were delivered from the storm as if by their cry.
The storm was stilled to a whispering purr.
The sea felt so soft she seemed like the cure.
They all felt glad because of the calm of the sea.
The harbor they made soothed them like the balm of morality.
Let them give thanks for the love of sweet mercy.
The sailors were saved from wet death with the thirst for eternity.
The Redeemer redeemed lost time as the story.
Joy was embraced as a parcel of glory.
The weather is the greatest of friends
or the worst to offend.
We accomplish all things with the goodness of weather.
Natural disaster destroys anything, but buh-bling or bird feathers.
A silver cord streams
from the container of dreams.
We were made to be loved
with light from above.
A nation without borders isn't secure.
The strength of security gives length to endure.
Citizens carry rights that are earned as learned.
Participation in the media tests substance affirmed.
Legal immigration is a start on the path
to the blessing that heaven grants beyond wrath.
Conservative policy insists on a balance
between foreign and domestic investment in talents.
The ethics of morality in law
has a measure in the observation of what you draw.
Drink truth deep from your heart before sleep.
It will help you keep what you seek
looking sleek.
Shine like a diamond.
You will be alive then.
You won’t feel like a siren
on an island off the horizon.

Psalm 107
Part I
Confitemini Domino
Acknowledge Mastery
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
and his mercy endures for ever.
2 Let all those whom the Lord has redeemed proclaim
that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.
3 He gathered them out of the lands;
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
4 Some wandered in desert wastes;
they found no way to a city where they might dwell.
5 They were hungry and thirsty;
their spirits languished within them.
6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He put their feet on a straight path
to go to a city where they might dwell.
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy
and the wonders he does for his children.
9 For he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
10 Some sat in darkness and deep gloom,
bound fast in misery and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God
and despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 So he humbled their spirits with hard labor;
they stumbled, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
14 He led them out of darkness and deep gloom
and broke their bonds asunder.
15 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy
and the wonders he does for his children.
16 For he shatters the doors of bronze
and breaks in two the iron bars.
17 Some were fools and took to rebellious ways;
they were afflicted because of their sins.
18 They abhorred all manner of food
and drew near to death's door.
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
20 He sent forth his word and healed them
and saved them from the grave.
21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy
and the wonders he does for his children.
22 Let them offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and tell of his acts with shouts of joy.
23 Some went down to the sea in ships
and plied their trade in deep waters;
24 They beheld the works of the Lord
and his wonders in the deep.
25 Then he spoke, and a stormy wind arose,
which tossed high the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to the heavens and fell back to the depths;
their hearts melted because of their peril.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards
and were at their wits' end.
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
29 He stilled the storm to a whisper
and quieted the waves of the sea.
30 Then were they glad because of the calm,
and he brought them to the harbor they were bound for.
31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy
and the wonders he does for his children.
32 Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people
and praise him in the council of the elders.

Posterity
Pierre de Fermat (fair-ma)
b. 10.31.1607 Beaumont-de-Lomagne, France
d. 1.12.1665 Castres, France
Pierre de Fermat was a French lawyer at the Parlement of Toulouse, France. He was also an amateur mathematician.
His exploration of mathematics as a hobby resulted in some major developments for the field of study. He has been given credit for early developments that led to infinitesimal calculus.
He presented the notion of adequality as an approximate equivalence. This broadened the practical application for calculation.
He is recognized for his discovery of an original method of finding the greatest and the smallest ordinates of curved lines. Finding the maxima and minuma is used in differential calculus today.
He made notable contributions to analytic geometry, probability and optics.
He is best known for his principle for light propagation and his Last Theorem in number theory.
His largest contributions to mathematics as a field were in analytic geometry and number theory.
His theorem led to the consideration of the development of exponential notation as a key contribution in either application.
------------------------
It is helpful to consider the state of education during the 17th century to understand how significant Fermat's contributions were.
Grammar, logic and rhetoric were essential to a classical education as explained in Plato's dialogues. The three subjects together were denoted by the word trivium during the Middle Ages. The trivium was fundamental to education in Latin, but the tradition of first learning those three subjects was established in ancient Greece.
The quadrivium consisted of arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy. These followed the preparatory work of the trivium. The quadrivium was considered the foundation for the study of philosophy (sometimes called the "liberal art par excellence") and theology.
The trivium and the quadrivium comprised the seven liberal arts. The liberal arts presented instruction in the skill of thought. It was distinguished from the practical arts (such as medicine and architecture).
The Renaissance brought an increased emphasis on mathematics and science to Europe. There was period of transition from a sectarian feudal and ecclesiastical culture. There was an increase in the emphasis on a non-sectarian society.
Early Renaissance figures added mathematics to their other occupations. Luca Pacioli was a Franciscan friar who founded accounting. Niccolò Fontana Tartaglia was an invalid with a speech impediment who became a notable engineer and bookkeeper.
Gerolamo Cardano was a doctor of medicine who was also the earliest founder of probability and binomial expansion. Robert Recorde was a physician. François Viète was a lawyer.
Descartes was originally trained as a lawyer, but he acquired greater instruction in mathematics when he studied military engineering in the Netherlands.
The modern form of exponential notation was introduced by Rene Descartes in his text titled La Géométrie early in the 17th century.
Descartes is also widely regarded as one of the founders of modern philosophy. He differed from Aristotle and the revived Stoicism of the 16th century on two major points.
He rejected the splitting of corporeal substance into matter and form. Form and matter are intrinsically interconnected in substance. Aristotle had used the distinction between the two to suggest the difference between the idea of the object and the thing itself. Descartes also rejected any appeal to final ends, divine or natural, in explaining natural phenomena.
His dualism embraced the idea that mind and body are distinct but closely joined. While many contemporary readers of Descartes found the distinction between mind and body difficult to grasp, he thought it was entirely straightforward.
He employed the concept of modes as the ways in which substances exist. He explained in Principles of Philosophy that we cannot understand the mode apart from the substance. The perception of a modal form apart from its substance requires an intellectual abstraction.
Two substances are distinct when each of them can exist apart from the other.
Descartes laid the foundation for the continental rationalism that was later advocated by Spinoza and Leibniz. This was later opposed by the empiricist school of thought consisting of Hobbes, Locke, Berkeley and Hume.
Leibniz, Spinoza and Descartes were well-versed in mathematics as well as philosophy. Descartes and Leibniz contributed greatly to science as well. Spinoza presented an axiomatic argument for constitutional monarchy.
Rene Descartes was born in La Haye en Touraine (now Descartes, Indre-et-Loire), France, on 31 March 1596. His mother, Jeanne Brochard, died soon after giving birth to him. He was not expected to survive. His father, Joachim, was a member of the Parlement of Brittany at Rennes.
René lived with his grandmother and with his great-uncle. Their family was Roman Catholic, but the Poitou region was controlled by the Protestant Huguenots.
The Swiss politician Besançon Hugues had been allied with John Calvin in Geneva. They sought an alliance between the city-state of Geneva and the Swiss Confederation. The label Huguenot was purportedly first applied in France to those conspirators who were involved in the Amboise (am-bwas) plot of 1560 to wrest power from the Catholic House of Guise (gees) in France.
Descartes entered the Jesuit Collège Royal Henry-Le-Grand at La Flèche (flesh) in 1607. It was late because of his fragile health. He was introduced to mathematics and physics. This included Galileo's work.
He studied for two years (1615–16) at the University of Poitiers after graduation in 1614. He earned a Baccalauréat and Licence in canon and civil law in 1616 in accordance with his father's wishes that he should become a lawyer. He moved to Paris from there.
He abandoned the study of letters. He resolved to seek knowledge from himself and the "great book of the world." He spent the rest of his youth traveling, visiting courts and armies, mixing with people of diverse temperaments and ranks, gathering various experiences, testing himself in the situations that fortune offered to reflect upon whatever came his way in order to derive the profit from it.
His ambition was to become a professional military officer. He joined the Protestant Dutch States Army in Breda under the command of Maurice of Nassau as a mercenary in 1618. He undertook the study of military engineering as established by Simon Stevin.
This is the period where he began to gain distinction as a mathematician. The study did not produce mathematicians as such. The field was subordinate to logic or physics at the time. He received much encouragement in Breda to advance his knowledge of mathematics.
He became acquainted with Isaac Beeckman, the principal of a Dordrecht school, in this way. He wrote the Compendium of Music (written 1618, published 1650) for Beeckman. Together they worked on free fall, catenary, conic section and fluid statics. Both believed that it was necessary to create a method that thoroughly linked mathematics and physics.
Descartes was present at the Battle of the White Mountain outside Prague while in the service of the Catholic Duke Maximilian of Bavaria in November 1620. He shut himself in a room with an "oven" (probably a cocklestove) to escape the cold while stationed in Neuburg an der Donau on the night of 10–11 November 1619 (St. Martin's Day).
He had three dreams and believed that a divine spirit revealed to him a new philosophy in the room. He had formulated analytical geometry and the idea of applying the mathematical method to philosophy.
He concluded from these visions that the pursuit of science would prove to be the pursuit of true wisdom and a central part of his life's work. He saw that all truths were linked with one another. The use of logic from the discovery of a fundamental truth would open the way to all science.
He expressed the Latin "Cogito ergo sum" in his native French. It is translated to English as "I think, therefore I am."
He left the army and returned to France in 1620. He was present at the siege of La Rochelle by Cardinal Richelieu in 1627.
He went to listen to a lecture by an alchemist about a new philosophy at the residence of the papal nuncio in the fall of the same year. Cardinal Bérulle urged him to write an exposition of his own new philosophy in some location beyond the reach of the inquisition.
Descartes returned to the Dutch Republic in 1628. He joined the University of Franeker in April 1629. He enrolled at the Leiden University to study mathematics the next year under the name "Poitevan."
He wrote all his major work during his 20-plus years in the Netherlands despite frequent moves. Galileo was condemned by the Italian Inquisition in 1633. Descartes abandoned plans to publish Treatise on the World. He had been working on the publication for the previous four years.
He published parts of this work in three essays in 1637. "Les Météores" (The Meteors), "La Dioptrique" (Dioptrics) and "La Géométrie" (Geometry) took the first important steps in the description of science with math. These essays were preceded by an introduction, his famous Discours de la méthode (Discourse on the Method).
"La Geometrie" laid out the principles and mechanics for the development of analytic geometry. The base definitions and mechanics for his discovery are taught in high school algebra courses in the US. The work included the explanation of exponential notation.
Exponents are shorthand for repeated multiplication of the same thing by itself. The shorthand for multiplying three copies of the number 5 for instance is shown on the right-hand side of the "equals" sign in (5)(5)(5) = 5^3. The notation is read as 5 to the 3d power.
The "exponent" is 3 in this example. It stands for however many times the value is being multiplied. The thing that's being multiplied is 5. It is called the "base".
Analytic geometry would become dependent upon algebraic notation with exponents to formulate the curves that were to be drawn on graphs.
Knowledge of conics had developed the first forms with exponential equations. These forms for open and closed figures were adapted for functions. Functions are graphs of equations that depict growth or diminishment.
The vertices, co-vertices and foci are related by the equation c^ 2 = a^ 2 − b^ 2. When we are given the coordinates of the foci and vertices of an ellipse, we can use the relationship to find the equation of the ellipse in standard form.
An ellipse is a modular form.
Number Theory
Fermat's Last Theorem
No three positive integers a, b and c satisfy the equation a^n + b^n = c^n for any integer value of n greater than 2.
The Note in the Margin
It is not possible for a cube to be the sum of two cubes, a fourth power to be the sum of two fourth powers or in general for any number that is a power greater than the second to be the sum of two like powers. Fermat wrote, "I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition that this margin is too narrow to contain."
The (Not) Proof
A centuries old math mystery may have been cracked by a Princeton professor. His colleagues estimate that only one-tenth of 1 percent of mathematicians could understand his explanation.
Did Fermat have the solution? His skill in mathematics was largely limited to his letters to friends and associates. He didn't write for the public much. His writing about math lacked exposition in certain important regards. He helped define analytic geometry with a work on the topic published before Descartes.
Fermat wrote his marginal note on exponents around 1630 when he first studied Diophantus's Arithmetica. All his other theorems were stated and restated in challenge problems that he sent to other mathematicians. He knew how to answer the special cases of n = 3 and n = 4 as challenges.The general theorem was never mentioned again by Fermat.
No one came up with an example wherein the sum of two cubes resulted in another cube. The sum of two lines can result in a sum with the same power as a line: 1^1 + 2^1 = 3^1. Any addition problem satisfies the condition. The first power is usually not written.
The sum of two squares isn't as easy, unless you count 0^2 as an option: 0^2 + 2^2 = 2^2. Any number of examples can be produced with this device. There are other solutions:
5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2
or
25^2 = 7^2 + 24^2 = 15^2 + 20^2.
There are cases where the sum of three or more cubes equals another cube, but a cube simply can't be divided in two and retain an equal length to the sides around the two halfs of the divided cube.
The lines for the object have to be equal in length by definition. The length of the divided lines will always be half of the distance for the lines that are not divided.
The consideration of geometric solids helped Fermat to rule out the possibility of higher exponential equations. The act of dividing a cube in half demonstrates that two cubes can't be added together to equal another cube. It can't be done.
While it is conceivable that the volume for two cubes could possibly be added together to equal the volume for another, such an equation hasn't been discovered. While this explanation doesn't fit the general criteria for a theoretical proof, it has yet to be disproved.
The proof has only been proved insofar as it remains in a state that has not been disproved.
Godel would eventually argue that this kind of incompleteness is the case with proofs in general. There is always some element in any argument that can not be completely proven. It justifies the attachment of the word 'theoretical' to the argument that qualifies as logically consistent enough to be called a proof.
There is something in the description of reality that defies completeness. It is as though the incompleteness is a challenge to come as close to completeness as possible without working too hard at it.

Taishan
Taishan is located about 80 km (50 miles) west from Macau and 135 km (85 miles) southwest of Guangzhou, formerly known as Canton.
It is part of the Pearl River Delta. This delta is made up by the confluence of three rivers. The Xi Jiang (West River) and the Bei Jiang (North River) empty into the South China Sea. The Dong Jiang (East River) flows into the Pearl River in the east.
The flat lands of the delta are criss-crossed by a network of tributaries of the Pearl River. There are 95 islands and islets in the delta.
The Treaty of Nanjing ended the First Opium War in 1842. There had been a trade imbalance between Qing Imperial China and Great Britain caused by the demand for silk, porcelain and tea in Europe. The British East India company had opium grown in India smuggled to China.
The sale of the smuggled narcotic reversed the trade deficit. It also induced addiction among users in the Chinese population. When a large amount of opium had been confiscated by a Chinese official, Parliament sent the Royal Navy to inflict damage on the empire in a tactic that has come to be called gunboat diplomacy.
The treaty was regarded as unfair, but it opened China to greater foreign trade just before the California Gold Rush. The prospect of emigration to the United States acquired appeal.
Many served as contract workers in Hawaii, Cuba and California. The Chinese made up 80% of the company workforce for the Central Pacific half of America's Transcontinental Railroad. They laid track over the mountains and deserts of the west.

Wu was given the name Ng Gee Ching at his birth in China in 1883. He moved to Honolulu, Hawaii as a child.
Deaconess Emma Drant taught him English in exchange for information about the Cantonese language. Gee Ching felt lukewarm towards Christianity at first. He was inspired by Drant's faith. He added Daniel Wu to his name when he converted.
Wu initially remained in Hawaii when Drant moved to the San Franciso Bay area in 1905 to assist the Chinese community with the True Sunshine Episcopal mission. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake resulted in fires. 3,000 people were killed. 80% of the city was destroyed.
Chinese immigrants were especially hard hit. Wu responded to Drant's call for help with the mainland community. Many immigrants from Chinatown moved across the bay to the Oakland area. Another mission was opened by the name the Church of Our Saviour.
When Drant left to respond to another assignment in the east, Wu helped to manage both missions. He studied for the priesthood at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. He was ordained as a priest in 1912. He became the vicar for both missions.
Wu married King Yoak Won (1890-1982) in 1913 after a 3 year courtship. She was the granddaughter of immigrants from Toi San county in what became southern Guangdong Province. Her father (by then deceased) had arrived during the California Gold Rush and worked to build railroads.
King Yoak Won had been introduced to Christianity by a Chinese Methodist missionary. She was baptised in a Congregationalist church. They met when she was rolling bandages for the army of the new republic in China. The Xinhai Revolution had overthrown the Manchurian Qing, Puyi in 1911. The Qing dynasty had ruled China from 1644 to 1911.
Sun Yat Sen had been the first president for the nationalist Republic of China. His term in office only lasted months in 1912. Yuan Shikai was elected president of the ROC in 1913 after his opponent had been assassinated. He eventually declared himself the emperor of China in 1915.
Wu was married to Won in Grace Cathedral in San Francisco in a ceremony in both English and Chinese. The Wus eventually had 4 children.
He frequented the port of entry to make contact with newly arrived immigrants. Many of them were Cantonese people. Wu and his wife offered English and sewing classes for adults as well as Chinese language classes for children in the two congregations. About 250 persons attended the daily classes at each school.
King Yoak Won Wu also assisted immigrants through the Chinese YWCA that had been founded in 1916. She was on the board of directors for many years.
Fr. Daniel retired from both his congregations in 1944.
He died on April 6, 1956. His wife King Yoak Wu survived him by 26 years.
Both congregations that Wu shepherded survive to this day albeit in different locations. They offer services in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, as well as continue to offer language and sewing classes.

Alexander Herzen
b. April 6, 1812, Moscow, Russia
d. January 21, 1870, Paris, France
Moscow
The city of Moscow gradually grew around the Kremlin beginning in the 14th century. The city is situated on either side of the Moskva River in the eastern part of Russia.
The city grew in five divisions separated by walls in the 16th to 17th centuries. The Kremlin ("fortress"), Kitaigorod ("walled town"), Bielygorod ("white town") and Zemlianoigorod ("earthworks town") were in city limits. Miestchanskygorod ("bourgeois town") was outside the city walls.
The city was destroyed in the Russian campaign by Napoleon in 1812.
The Napoleonic Empire seemed to be at its height in 1810 and 1811, but it was starting to decline from its apogee in 1806–1809. Most of Western and Central Europe was under his control either directly or indirectly through various protectorates, allies and countries defeated by his empire and under treaties favorable for France. The Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal was costly and drawn out.
The Russian campaign began on 24 June 1812 when the Grande Armée crossed the Neman River in an attempt to engage the Russian army. 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.
He pushed the army rapidly through Western Russia in an attempt to catch up with the Russians through series of long marches. Scorched-earth tactics were employed. Villages, towns and crops were destroyed. The French were forced to rely on a supply system that was incapable of feeding their large army in the field.
The French caught up with the Russian army on September 7. The army had dug itself in on hillsides before a small town called Borodino, seventy miles west of Moscow. The battle that followed was the bloodiest single-day action of the Napoleonic Wars. It produced a narrow French victory. The Russian army withdrew the following day. The French were left again without the decisive victory Napoleon sought.
The French entered Moscow a week later. The Russians had abandoned the city. Major buildings had been destroyed. Small fires were growing into large ones. Most of the buildings were made of wood.
The loss of Moscow did not compel Alexander I to enter into negotiations. Napoleon stayed on in Moscow for a month. The offer for peace never came. The French army left Moscow on October 19. Napoleon began to retreat back to the Polish border.
The Grande Armée suffered from the onset of the Russian Winter in the following weeks. Lack of food and fodder for the horses, hypothermia from the bitter cold and persistent attacks upon isolated troops from Russian peasants and Cossacks led to great losses in men. There was a breakdown of discipline and cohesion in the army.
When the remnants of Napoleon's main army crossed the Berezina River in late November, only 27,000 soldiers remained. The Grande Armée had lost some 380,000 men to death. 100,000 were captured during the campaign.
The campaign was a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars. It was the greatest and bloodiest of the armed conflicts. More than 1.5 million soldiers were involved. There were over 500,000 French and 400,000 Russian casualties.
The reputation of Napoleon was severely shaken. French hegemony in Europe was dramatically weakened. The Grande Armée was reduced to a fraction of its initial strength. These events triggered a major shift in European politics. Prussia, soon followed by Austria, broke their imposed alliance with France and switched sides.
The reconstruction of Moscow was delayed by at least five years due to lack of funds. Alexander I set up the Commission of Building in Moscow in February 1813 with the instruction to produce a viable master plan for the city. The Commission hired numerous local architects and topographers who produced the final master plan by 1817.
The city ramparts were replaced with the Boulevard Ring and Garden Ring roads. These roads replaced the walls around Bielygorod and Zemlianoigorod, respectively. The city's population grew from 250,000 to over a million in the 19th century.
Alexander Herzen
Herzen was born in Moscow shortly before Napoleon's invasion and brief occupation of the city. His father was allowed to leave Moscow after a personal interview with Napoleon. He agreed to bear a letter from the French to the Russian emperor in St. Petersburg. His family accompanied him to the Russian lines. They returned to Moscow a year later.
His father was Ivan Yakovlev, a wealthy landowner. His mother was a young German Protestant woman, Henriette Wilhelmina Luisa Haag from Stuttgart. He was born out of wedlock. Yakovlev gave his son the surname Herzen because he was a "child of his heart" (German-Herz).
His struggle for achieving liberty began in his undergraduate years at Moscow University when he was deeply influenced by the liberal views of Comte de Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier. His pledge to devote his life to liberation of Russia and establish a good social order was even more intensified by the injustice he faced from the anarchist rule.
Herzen and his lifelong friend Nikolay Ogarev were arrested and tried on charges of treason in 1834. They attended a festival during which verses by Sokolovsky were sung. The verses were uncomplimentary to the tsar. He was found guilty in 1835. He was banished to Vyatka, now Kirov, in north-eastern European Russia. He remained there until 1837.
The tsar's son, Grand Duke Alexander (later to become tsar Alexander II), accompanied by the poet Zhukovsky, visited the city and intervened on his behalf. Herzen was allowed to leave Vyatka for Vladimir where he was appointed editor of the city's official gazette.
He eloped with his cousin Natalia Zakharina in 1837. They were secretly married.
He returned to Moscow in 1840. He was appointed as secretary to Count Alexander Stroganov in the ministry of the interior at St Petersburg. He was sent to Novgorod as a consequence of complaining about a death caused by a police officer. He was a state councillor until 1842. His father died in 1846. He was left a large amount of property.
His literary career began in 1842 with the publication of an essay on Dilettantism in Science. It was published under the pseudonym of Iskander, the Turkish form of his Christian name.
His second work was his Letters on the Study of Nature (1845–46).
His novel Who is to Blame? appeared in 1847. This is a story about the domestic happiness of a young tutor. The tutor married the unacknowledged daughter of a Russian sensualist of the old type. He was dull, ignorant and genial.
The tutor is troubled by a Russian sensualist of the new school. He was intelligent, accomplished and callous. A tragic ending prompted the question in the title of the novel.
A number of other stories were published in Russian periodicals in 1847 also. These were later collected and printed in London in 1854 under the title of Prervannye Razskazy (Interrupted Tales).
Herzen emigrated with his wife, mother and children in 1847. He would never return to Russia. He hastened to Paris from Italy after hearing about the revolution of 1848. There were a number of revolutionary movements that year. He supported the revolutions, but was bitterly disillusioned with European socialist movements after their failure. He moved to Switzerland.
Herzen and his wife Natalia had four children together. His mother and one of his sons died in a shipwreck in 1851. His wife died from tuberculosis in 1852. He left Geneva for London that same year. He settled there for many years. He founded the Free Russian Press in 1853.
It was as a political writer that Herzen gained his reputation. He had always admired the French Revolution and broadly adopted its values. He viewed Revolution as the end of history in his early work. It was the final stage in social development of a society based on humanism and harmony.
Herzen saw himself as a revolutionary radical called to fight the political oppression of Nicholas I of Russia. He wrote against the ruling elites in Europe, against Christian hypocrisy and for individual freedom in self-expression.
He promoted both socialism and individualism. He argued that the full flowering of the individual could best be realized in a socialist order. He would however always reject grand narratives such as a predestined position for a society. His writing in exile promoted small-scale communal living with the protection of individual liberty by a non-interventionist government.
He came to be known known as the "father of Russian socialism." He was one of the main fathers of agrarian populism. This made him an ideological ancestor of the Narodniki, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Trudoviks and the agrarian American Populist Party.
Herzen opposed the aristocracy that ruled 19th century Russia. He supported an agrarian collectivist model of social structure.
He attempted to influence the situation in Russia with his work from London. He contributed to a political climate that led to the emancipation of the serfs in 1861.
He spent time in London organizing with the International Workingmen's Association. He became well acquainted with revolutionary circles including the likes of Bakunin and Marx.
He returned to Geneva in 1864. He moved to Paris after some time. He died from complications with tuberculosis in 1870.
A rise in populism by 1880 led to a favorable re-evaluation of his writings. He is also remembered for his rejection of corrupt government of any political persuasion and for his support for individual rights.
He had been a Hegelian in his youth. This translated into no specific theory or single doctrine dominating his thought later. Herzen came to believe the complex questions of society could not be answered. Russians must live for the moment and not a cause. Life is an end in itself.
His position was supported by the sale of his work. It was a misdirection in its own right. He was writing about socialism, populism and individualism to sell his magazines. Hegelian thought has been characterized by this deficit.
The idealist rejection of conservative policy for revolution has resulted in conditions that have made matters worse. The core value is based on the refusal to accept anything established as satisfactory.
Socialism is voluntary slavery. People are taxed by the government to pay for problems that were created by liberal officials so as not to be solved. Fake news is circulated in order to make the problem seem worse than it actually was.
The stories want people to believe that their tax money will be used to solve the problem of something like gun massacres, but the liberal element is aimed at increasing taxation for national security in order to reduce the right to bear arms.
The net result is more money for the power of those officials that are dedicated to increasing the tax burden. Those elected officials who have been successful at gaining re-election with fake news have made the government more costly. They haven’t improved it.
Reform has to be conducted conservatively or it is an offense to the citizens that constitute the nation.

Adam Smith
Wealth of Nations
1776
Text
"The advantage which is gained by saving the time commonly lost in passing from one sort of work to another, is much greater than we should at first view be apt to imagine it. It is impossible to pass very quickly from one kind of work to another, that is carried on in a different place, and with quite different tools. A country weaver, who cultivates a small farm, must loose a good deal of time in passing from his loom to the field, and from the field to his loom. When the two trades can be carried on in the same workhouse, the loss of time is, no doubt, much less. It is, even in this case, however, very considerable."

Taishan
Taishan is located about 80 km (50 miles) west from Macau and 135 km (85 miles) southwest of Guangzhou, formerly known as Canton.
It is part of the Pearl River Delta. This delta is made up by the confluence of three rivers. The Xi Jiang (West River) and the Bei Jiang (North River) empty into the South China Sea. The Dong Jiang (East River) flows into the Pearl River in the east.
The flat lands of the delta are criss-crossed by a network of tributaries of the Pearl River. There are 95 islands and islets in the delta.
The Treaty of Nanjing ended the First Opium War in 1842. There had been a trade imbalance between Qing Imperial China and Great Britain caused by the demand for silk, porcelain and tea in Europe. The British East India company had opium grown in India smuggled to China.
The sale of the smuggled narcotic reversed the trade deficit. It also induced addiction among users in the Chinese population. When a large amount of opium had been confiscated by a Chinese official, Parliament sent the Royal Navy to inflict damage on the empire in a tactic that has come to be called gunboat diplomacy.
The treaty was regarded as unfair, but it opened China to greater foreign trade just before the California Gold Rush. The prospect of emigration to the United States acquired appeal.
Many served as contract workers in Hawaii, Cuba and California. The Chinese made up 80% of the company workforce for the Central Pacific half of America's Transcontinental Railroad. They laid track over the mountains and deserts of the west.

The city ramparts were replaced with the Boulevard Ring and Garden Ring roads. These roads replaced the walls around Bielygorod and Zemlianoigorod, respectively. The city's population grew from 250,000 to over a million in the 19th century.
Alexander Herzen
Herzen was born in Moscow shortly before Napoleon's invasion and brief occupation of the city. His father was allowed to leave Moscow after a personal interview with Napoleon. He agreed to bear a letter from the French to the Russian emperor in St. Petersburg. His family accompanied him to the Russian lines. They returned to Moscow a year later.
His father was Ivan Yakovlev, a wealthy landowner. His mother was a young German Protestant woman, Henriette Wilhelmina Luisa Haag from Stuttgart. He was born out of wedlock. Yakovlev gave his son the surname Herzen because he was a "child of his heart" (German-Herz).
His struggle for achieving liberty began in his undergraduate years at Moscow University when he was deeply influenced by the liberal views of Comte de Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier. His pledge to devote his life to liberation of Russia and establish a good social order was even more intensified by the injustice he faced from the anarchist rule.
Herzen and his lifelong friend Nikolay Ogarev were arrested and tried on charges of treason in 1834. They attended a festival during which verses by Sokolovsky were sung. The verses were uncomplimentary to the tsar. He was found guilty in 1835. He was banished to Vyatka, now Kirov, in north-eastern European Russia. He remained there until 1837.
The tsar's son, Grand Duke Alexander (later to become tsar Alexander II), accompanied by the poet Zhukovsky, visited the city and intervened on his behalf. Herzen was allowed to leave Vyatka for Vladimir where he was appointed editor of the city's official gazette.
He eloped with his cousin Natalia Zakharina in 1837. They were secretly married.
He returned to Moscow in 1840. He was appointed as secretary to Count Alexander Stroganov in the ministry of the interior at St Petersburg. He was sent to Novgorod as a consequence of complaining about a death caused by a police officer. He was a state councillor until 1842. His father died in 1846. He was left a large amount of property.
His literary career began in 1842 with the publication of an essay on Dilettantism in Science. It was published under the pseudonym of Iskander, the Turkish form of his Christian name.
His second work was his Letters on the Study of Nature (1845–46).
His novel Who is to Blame? appeared in 1847. This is a story about the domestic happiness of a young tutor. The tutor married the unacknowledged daughter of a Russian sensualist of the old type. He was dull, ignorant and genial.
The tutor is troubled by a Russian sensualist of the new school. He was intelligent, accomplished and callous. A tragic ending prompted the question in the title of the novel.
A number of other stories were published in Russian periodicals in 1847 also. These were later collected and printed in London in 1854 under the title of Prervannye Razskazy (Interrupted Tales).
Herzen emigrated with his wife, mother and children in 1847. He would never return to Russia. He hastened to Paris from Italy after hearing about the revolution of 1848. There were a number of revolutionary movements that year. He supported the revolutions, but was bitterly disillusioned with European socialist movements after their failure. He moved to Switzerland.
Herzen and his wife Natalia had four children together. His mother and one of his sons died in a shipwreck in 1851. His wife died from tuberculosis in 1852. He left Geneva for London that same year. He settled there for many years. He founded the Free Russian Press in 1853.
It was as a political writer that Herzen gained his reputation. He had always admired the French Revolution and broadly adopted its values. He viewed Revolution as the end of history in his early work. It was the final stage in social development of a society based on humanism and harmony.
Herzen saw himself as a revolutionary radical called to fight the political oppression of Nicholas I of Russia. He wrote against the ruling elites in Europe, against Christian hypocrisy and for individual freedom in self-expression.
He promoted both socialism and individualism. He argued that the full flowering of the individual could best be realized in a socialist order. He would however always reject grand narratives such as a predestined position for a society. His writing in exile promoted small-scale communal living with the protection of individual liberty by a non-interventionist government.
He came to be known known as the "father of Russian socialism." He was one of the main fathers of agrarian populism. This made him an ideological ancestor of the Narodniki, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Trudoviks and the agrarian American Populist Party.
Herzen opposed the aristocracy that ruled 19th century Russia. He supported an agrarian collectivist model of social structure.
He attempted to influence the situation in Russia with his work from London. He contributed to a political climate that led to the emancipation of the serfs in 1861.
He spent time in London organizing with the International Workingmen's Association. He became well acquainted with revolutionary circles including the likes of Bakunin and Marx.
He returned to Geneva in 1864. He moved to Paris after some time. He died from complications with tuberculosis in 1870.
A rise in populism by 1880 led to a favorable re-evaluation of his writings. He is also remembered for his rejection of corrupt government of any political persuasion and for his support for individual rights.
He had been a Hegelian in his youth. This translated into no specific theory or single doctrine dominating his thought later. Herzen came to believe the complex questions of society could not be answered. Russians must live for the moment and not a cause. Life is an end in itself.
His position was supported by the sale of his work. It was a misdirection in its own right. He was writing about socialism, populism and individualism to sell his magazines. Hegelian thought has been characterized by this deficit.
The idealist rejection of conservative policy for revolution has resulted in conditions that have made matters worse. The core value is based on the refusal to accept anything established as satisfactory.
Socialism is voluntary slavery. People are taxed by the government to pay for problems that were created by liberal officials so as not to be solved. Fake news is circulated in order to make the problem seem worse than it actually was.
The stories want people to believe that their tax money will be used to solve the problem of something like gun massacres, but the liberal element is aimed at increasing taxation for national security in order to reduce the right to bear arms.
The net result is more money for the power of those officials that are dedicated to increasing the tax burden. Those elected officials who have been successful at gaining re-election with fake news have made the government more costly. They haven’t improved it.
Reform has to be conducted conservatively or it is an offense to the citizens that constitute the nation.

Text
"The advantage which is gained by saving the time commonly lost in passing from one sort of work to another, is much greater than we should at first view be apt to imagine it. It is impossible to pass very quickly from one kind of work to another, that is carried on in a different place, and with quite different tools. A country weaver, who cultivates a small farm, must loose a good deal of time in passing from his loom to the field, and from the field to his loom. When the two trades can be carried on in the same workhouse, the loss of time is, no doubt, much less. It is, even in this case, however, very considerable."

Vasily I
born 12.30.1371
in Moscow, Grand Duchy of Moscow
The Grand Duchy of Moscow
The Mongol Empire invaded Kievan Rus during the 13th century as part of the invasion of Europe. Muscovy was a tributary vassal to the Golden Horde until 1480.
The duchy originated when Daniel I inherited Moscow in 1283. The state eventually eclipsed and absorbed the parent duchy of Vladimir-Suzdal by the 1320’s.
Muscovites, Suzdalians and other inhabitants of the Rus principality were allowed to retain their pagan, Slavic and Orthodox Christian traditions under the Tatar yoke. There was contact with the Byzantine Empire that facilitated cultural exchange.
The Line for Succession
Moscow was an insignificant trading outpost in the principality of Vladimir-Suzdal when the Golden Horde invaded Kievan Rus. The Tartars burned down Moscow in the winter of 1238.
The settlement was pillaged in 1293. The remote location for the outpost in a forested location offered some security from further attacks and occupation. A number of rivers provided access to the Baltic and Black Seas and to the Caucasus region.
The state of Moscow was developed by a line of dukes who ruled as princes in the larger principality. This line turned the small principality in the Moscow River Basin into the largest state in Europe in the 16th century.
Expansion of Muscovy 1340-1462
The first ruler was Daniel I. He was the youngest son of Alexander Nevsky of Vladimir-Suzdal. He started to expand his territory by seizing Kolomna and securing the bequest of Pereslavl-Zalessky to his family.
Daniel’s son Yury was also known as Georgiy. He ruled from 1303-1325. He came to control the entire basin of the Moskva River. He expanded westward by conquering Mozhaisk. He forged an alliance with the overlord of the Rus’ principalities, Uzbeg Khan of the Golden Horde, with his marriage to the khan’s sister.
The Khan allowed Yury to claim the title of Grand Duke of Vladimir-Suzdal. The position allowed him to interfere in the affairs of the Novgorod Republic to the north-west.
Ivan I ruled from 1325-1340 as Yury’s successor. He managed to retain the title of Grand Duke by cooperating with the Mongols. He collected tribute and taxes from other Rus’ principalities on their behalf.
The relationship enabled Ivan to gain regional ascendancy. The northern city of Tver rebelled against the Horde in 1327. The uprising was subdued by the joint forces of the Grand Duchy of Suzdal, the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Tatars.
The victory over Tver helped Ivan to become one of the richest people in Rus’. He was known as “Kalita”, the “Moneybag”. (Ivan IV was known as the “Terrible.”) He used his treasure to purchase land in other principalities to finance the construction of stone churches in the Moscow Kremlin.
The Orthodox Metropolitan Peter (1308-1326) transferred his residence from Kiev to Moscow in 1325. The move enhanced the prestige of the duchy.
Ivan’s successors continued to gather land in Rus’ to increase the population and wealth for their rule. Their interests clashed with the expansion of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The subjects for this duchy were predominantly East Slavic and Orthodox.
Map of Lithuania 13th century
Grand Duke Algirdas of Lithuania allied himself by marriage with Tver. He undertook three expeditions against Moscow in 1368, 1370 and 1372. He was unable to take it. The main contention between Moscow and Vilnius was the city of Smolensk.
The royal family and the country were hit by the Black Death in the 1350’s. Dmitri Ivanovich was 9 years old when his parents died.
The ruler of Moscow found himself surrounded by Lithuanians and Muslim nomads. Dmitri Donskoi was educated by Metropolitan Alexis. Alexis ran the government in fact. Dmitry of Suzdal was the regent during the minority of heir apparent.
Donskoi acted as a champion for Orthodoxy when he ascended to his authority. He cultivated alliance with the Orthodox Church of Rus’. The duchy experienced a resurgence in influence due to the monastic reform of Sergius of Radonezh. The most important event during his early reign was to start the building of the Moscow Kremlin. It was completed in 1367.
The city withstood two sieges by Algirdas of Lithuania during the Lithuanian-Muscovite War (1368-72) thanks to the new fortress. The war ended with the Treaty of Lyubutsk. Dmitry settled a conflict with Mikhail II of Tver over Vladimir.
He managed to unite the warring principalities of Rus’ in his struggle against the Horde. Other princes from northern Russia acknowledged his authority. They contributed troops to the impending struggle. Dmitry had more than doubled the territory of the Principality of Moscow by the end of his reign.
He challenged the Khan’s authority and defeated his commander Mamai in the epic Battle of Kulikovo. The conflict took place on September 8, 1380 at Kulikovo Field near the Don River. Dmitry became known as Donskoi (of the Don) after the event.
The victory did not result in long term benefits immediately. Tokhtamysh sacked Moscow in 1382 to reassert vested authority over his vassal, the Grand Prince. While the Mongol domination did not end, it is regarded as the turning point. Muscovite power began to rise. Mongolian influence started to wane.
Dmitri became a national hero. The memory of Kulikovo Field mad the Rus’ people start believing in their ability to end Tatar domination. They were on the way to independence.
Vasily I Dimitriyevich
(1371-1425)
Vasily was the oldest son of Dmitry Donskoi and Grand Princess Eudoxia. Eudoxia was the daughter of Grand Prince Dmitry Konstantinovich of Nizhny Novgorod.
Vasily had traveled to the Tatar Khan Tokhtamysh in 1383 to obtain the Khan's patent for his father to rule the Russian lands as the grand prince of Vladimir. The prince of Tver also sought the patent.
Vasily succeeded in his mission diplomatically. He was kept at Tokhtamysh's court as a hostage until 1386. He took advantage of Tokhtamysh's conflict with his suzerain Timur Lenk (Tamerlane) to escape and return to Moscow.
He was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1389 to 1425. He continued the process of unification started by his father. He annexed the principalities of Nizhny Novgorod and Murom.
The Khan gave him Nizhny Novgorod in exchange for the help Moscow had given from 1397-98 against one of his rivals, Kaluga, Vologda. Veliki Ustyug and the lands of the Komi people were also annexed.
Feudal land ownership kept growing during his reign. The judicial powers of land owners were partially diminished and transferred to Vasily's deputies with the growth of princely authority in Moscow.
The Cathedral of the Annunciation
Russian chronicles recorded the name of a monk, Lazar the Serb. When he had newly arrived from Serbia he invented and built a clock on a tower in the Grand Prince's palace in Moscow. It was located behind the Cathedral of the Annunciation at the request of Vasily I in 1404.
It was the first mechanical clock in Russia. It was among the first ten such advanced clocks in Europe. It was a technical miracle at the time. The numbers were written in Church Slavonic. The clock and the church in which it was located have not survived.
The most important ecclesiastical event of the time was the elevation of the Bulgarian, Gregory Tsamblak, to the metropolitan see of Kiev by Vytautus, the grand duke of Lithuania. The hold of Moscow on the south-western Russian states was weakened as an immediate political consequence.
Vasily entered into an alliance with Lithuania in 1392 to prevent being attacked by the Tatars. He married Sophia, the only daughter of Vytautas the Great. The alliance turned out to be fragile. They waged war between 1406-1408.
Timur was the last of the nomadic conquerors of the Eurasian Steppe. He was the Emir. He became the ruler of the Muslim world after defeating the Mamluks of Egypt and Syria, the emerging Ottoman empire and the declining Delhi Sultanate. He led military campaigns across western, southern and central Asia, the Caucasus and southern Russia.
The Mongolian emir raided the Slavic lands in 1395. He invaded the Volgan regions but did not penetrate as far as Moscow. Timur's raid served the Russian prince in the damage it caused to the Tatars.
The Horde was left in a state of anarchy for the next 12 years. No tribute was paid to the Khan Olug Moxammat. Vast sums of money were collected in the Moscow treasury for military purposes.
The Timurid Empire looked like the next threat to the duchy, but the empire fragmented shortly after he died in 1405.
Edigu of the White Horde burnt Nizhny Novgorod, Gorodets, Rostov, Moscow and many other towns in 1408, but he failed to take Moscow. Vasily paid a long deferred visit of submission to the Horde in 1412.
Moscow's influence was growing abroad. This growth was evident in the fact that Vasily married his daughter Anna to Emperor John VIII Palaeologus of Byzantium in 1414.
Vasily I had served as a vassal to the Horde between 1389-1395 and again from 1412-1425.
The Rurik line lasted from Daniel I in 1283 to Feodor I, the son of Ivan IV, in 1598. Ivan IV was the first csar. The Godunov line had a short run from 1598-1605.
The Romanov line was started in 1613 when Michael was elected Tsar. The line ruled as tsars until Peter the Great, another Romanov, reorganized the government as an empire along western lines. His reign started in 1682.
The first university of higher learning was established in Moscow in 1687. It was called the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy. This was the start of public education. Education in literacy prior to that point in time was provided by the Church in Slavonic. It was taught for prayer and bible study.
Cyril and Methodius had created the Glagolitic alphabet to translate the Bible and other texts into the Slavic language. It was first used in Moravia in 863.
The early Cyrillic alphabet was a simplification of the Glagolitic for a closer correspondence with Greek. It was used at schools established by Boris-Michael in the first Bulgarian Empire after he was baptized in 864.
The people of Kiev were baptised in 988 when Vladimir was the prince of Rus. The Cyrillic alphabet was used to write in Slavonic.
The Romanovs stayed in power for the most part until Nicholas II was overthrown by the Bolsheviks in 1917.
Rasputin was murdered on December 30, 1916. The USSR was formed on the same day in 1922.
The Soviet Union fell on December 26, 1991. The current government for Russia is a federation with a constitution. They are not communists.
Socialism persists as a problem for many nations. It is a problem because the economic theory uses the threat of insurrection or subversion as a means to overthrow government that is perceived to be conservative.
The precipitation of profit from war is a policy that advocates for liberal expenditure to promote insurrection with the force of arms or subversion with the rejection of conservative officials at the expense of the tax paying public.
The current FBI investigation of the president has claimed organization against collusion with Russia. There were videos of President Putin released to social media. There was a claim that leading Democrats had been hacked by Russians, but the claim has been shown to be motivated by partisan politics.
J. Edgar Hoover had an anti-communist policy that resulted in the deportation of one US resident. Communism was associated with treason because the economic theory had been used for the violent overthrow of foreign governments. The threat of violent overthrow was used to promote socialism as a theory that obtained results in politics. This is the subversive element.
The Bureau was used by Senator McCarthy for media expression against communism. The people that were dismissed from work were released by the authority of Congress.
I haven't found any reports of anyone having been imprisoned for communism. Liberals in the leadership of the FBI have reported prison sentences as part of the punishment for supporting collusion with Russia.
The FBI has been using socialism as a means to subordinate the office of the president to the covert agency control of Congress. They also display a drive in organization to have the president impeached because he, unlike his opponent in the presidential election, did not support an increase in hostility against Russia.
Rep. Pelosi spoke of the “power” that her election represents to the president. The context suggests that her definition of power includes the impeachment of the president if he doesn’t ‘get on board’ with her authority.
The implication was subversive. The Democrat platform is against the wall and immigration reform. It is for agreement with an increase in the taxation of the people.
This is not acceptable as public policy. The end of increasing expenditure for the precipitation of profit for violent insurrection or political subversion abroad is being used to increase the expense for having the chief executive official impeached for not supporting the continual increase in expenditure for the promotion of insecurity abroad or domestically at the expense of the security that is inherent to the civil rights for the US or any other national population.

Harlesden, England
The Jubilee Clock
Harlesden is an area located in northwest London. The clock that celebrates the jubilee of Queen Victoria serves as a focal point. The location has been unofficially called London’s reggae capital for the vibrancy of the Caribbean culture entertained by the population.
The population includes people of Afro-Caribbean descent as well as Irish, Portuguese, Brazilian, smaller Latin American and East African groups within the community.
Harlesden was a rural village in the 19th century. It began to develop an urban appearance with the building of the railways. Cottages for industrial and railway workers were built along with larger houses for the middle class.
The rural nature for the area was lost as factories replaced farms and woodland. Housing continued to expand from late Victorian times until the 1930’s. The village became part of the larger conurbation.
Charles Dunbar Broad
C.D. Broad was born in Harlesden in London, England on December 30, 1887.
He was educated at Dulwich College from 1900 until 1906. He gained a scholarship to study at Trinity College Cambridge in 1906. He gradaute with First-Class Honours with distinction n 1910.
He became a Fellow of Trinity College. This was a non-residential position. It enabled him to accept a position he had applied for as an assistant lecturer at St. Andrews University. He remained there in 1920 and worked there until 1923. He returned to Trinity College as a College lecturer.
He was a lecturer in 'moral science' in the faculty of philosophy at Cambridge University from 1926 until 1931.
He was appointed 'Sidgwick Lecturer' at Cambridge University in that year. He kept this role until he was appointed Knightbridge Professor of Moral Philosophy at the university in 1933. He held the position until 1953.
Broad was president of the Aristotelian Society from 1927 to 1928. He reprised the role from 1954 to 1955. He was also president of the Society for Psychical Research in 1935 and 1958.
He never married during a time when homosexual acts were designated as illegal by legislation. He sent a letter along with A.J. Ayer, Bertrand Russell, J.B. Priestly and 27 others to The Times. The letter urged the acceptance of the Wolfenden's Report's recommendation that homosexual acts should "no longer be a criminal offence."
Broad argued for "non-occurent causation" as "literally determined by the agent or self" in his essay "Determinism, Indeterminism, and Libertarianism."

New York, New York
The musical West Side Story premiered on Broadway on September 26, 1957. The book was written by Arthur Laurents. The music was composed by Leonard Bernstein. The lyrics were written by Stephen Sondheim. Jerome Robbins was the choreographer. The musical was inspired by the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.
The story is set in the Upper West Side neighborhood in New York City in the 1950's. The population was blue collar and ethnic. The Sharks were from Puerto Rico. The Jets were white. Maria is the romantic interest for Tony. They are from the different ethnic groups. Tony is best friends with the leader of the Jets. Maria is the sister to the leader of the Sharks.
The musical debuted one day after the forced integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. It received mixed reviews due to the story about racial conflict. It won two Tony Awards for choreography and set design.
There were 732 performances in the maiden run. The play inspired the film version with Natalie Wood and Richard Beyman in 1962. The film won 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture. The stage version was soon revived.
Matt Lauer was born in New York City on December 30, 1957. He was the son of Marilyn (nee Gentry) a boutique owner, and Jay Robert Lauer, a bicycle-company executive. His parents divorced when he was young.
His father had Romanian Jewish ancestry. His mother was not Jewish. The distinction retained a genetic influence. Matt was not raised to be religious.
Lauer earned his undergraduate degree from Ohio University at age 39 in 1997. He had studied at the school's Scripps College of Communication, School of Media Arts and Studies. He had previously dropped out of the same institution in the spring of 1979.
Lauer began his television career as a producer of the noon newscast for WOWK-TV in Huntington, West Virginia in 1979. He had become an on-air reporter for the station's 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts by 1980.
He then started to move around the country. He hosted a number of weekly information and talk programs in Boston, Philadelphia, Providence and Richmond. He was also host of PM Magazine in Providence then in 1984 at WNEW-TV in New York until the show's cancellation in 1986.
He then moved on to co-hosting Made In New York on the station with Jill Rappaport for a fifteen-week run in 1986. He also co-hosted Fame, Fortune and Romance in 1986. He also worked for ESPN in the 1980's. He then headed to Boston in 1988 to host WNEV-TV's Talk of the Town.
He returned to the New York market from 1989 to 1991. This time he went to Secaucus, New Jersey's WWOR-TV, where he hosted 9 Broadcast Plaza, a three-hour live interview program.
He departed that series as it took a turn in booking "tabloid" guests and topics. He relayed as a refusal to live-read ads on the show for Dial-a-Mattress.
Lauer appeared as the co-host along with Willow Bay of "Etc., Etc.", a show on the Travel Channel in 1991. He moved to WNBC in 1992 where he became co-anchor, alongside Jane Hanson, of the early weekday news show Today in New York. He also filled the role of Live at Five co-anchor with Sue Simmons after a year. He held that job until 1996.
Lauer's on-camera presence provided him with many opportunities with NBC's national news organization. He filled in as the newsreader on The Today Show for Margaret Larson when needed from 1992 to 1993. This "audition" period allowed him to join The Today Show full-time in January 1994 as news anchor.
He substituted for Bryant Gumbel on the Today Show as the Today Show news anchor. He was named the official co-anchor on January 6, 1997 after Gumbel stepped down.
He also hosted programming on Discovery Channel and MSNBC.
Lauer embarked on what was generally an annual five-day, globe-spanning adventure from 1998 until 2009 on the Today Show. The show was called Where in the World is Matt Lauer?This segment sent him to various locations around the world from where he reported on the importance of each location.
He broadcast from locations that included Bhutan, Easter Island, the Panama Canal, Iran, Hong Kong, Croatia and the Great Wall of China. NBC News announced the segment would no longer air in consideration of the stagnant, unstable U.S. economy in 2009.
He announced that he had signed a new contract with NBC News through 2017 on the April 5, 2012 program.
He conducted separate 30-minute interviews with presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on September 8, 2016.
It was revealed on November 30, 2016 that Lauer had signed a new contract up to 2018.
NBC News announced on November 29, 2017 that Lauer's employment had been terminated after an unidentified female NBC employee reported that Lauer had sexually harassed her during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. It was claimed that the harassment had continued after they returned to New York.
Lauer admit that there was only some truth to the allegations.

Boston, Massachusetts
Boston is the capital for Massachusetts. It is the largest city in population for the state and the New England region. It is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Ir was founded in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England.
It was the scene for a number of key events in the American Revolution. There was the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston. It continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub after the War for Independence. It developed as a center for education and culture.
The city's economy had recovered after 30 years of economic downturn by the 1970's. A number of high rise buildings were constructed in the Financial District and in Boston's Back Bay during this period.
Boston is sometimes called a "city of neighborhoods." There is a profusion of diverse subsections within the sections. The city government's Office of Neighborhood Services has officially designated 23 neighborhoods.
Nearly 23% of the population have identified as having Irish descent. This is the highest percentage of the top 50 most populous US cities according to a 2014 survey.
Boston had started as a Puritan stronghold. It changed dramatically in the 19th century with the arrival of European immigrants. The Irish dominated the first wave of newcomers during this period after the Great Irish Famine.
The population of Ireland had grown to about 8.2 million people by 1841. One estimate of the emigration for the potato blight put the population of Irish immigrants at 1.5 million between 1845 and 1855. Most moved to the US.
Their arrival transformed Boston from an Anglo-Saxon, Protestant city into one that has become progressively more diverse. Many Irish immigrants fought for the Union in the American Civil War. The display of patriotism helped to dispel much of the prejudice against them.
Summers are typically warm and humid. Winters are cold and stormy with occasional heavy storms. The coastal location on the North Atlantic moderates temperatures, but the city is prone to Nor'easter weather systems that produce much snow and rain.
Fog is fairly common in the spring and early summer. When sea breezes blow in from the sea when the ocean is cold create a drop in temperature. Thunderstorms are generated from May to September. These storms can occasionally include large hail, damaging winds and heavy downpours. The climate is relatively sunny overall.
The Boston based non-profit health care organization Partners in Health was founded in 1987. The organizational goals are to take the benefits of modern medical research to those in need to provide healthcare to the poorest areas of developing countries.
The organization collaborates with Harvard Medical School and the Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Eliza Dushku was born in Boston on December 30. She is the daughter of Philip Richard Dushku and Judith Ann (nee Rasmussen), a political science professor. Dushku's father is an Albanian from the city of Korce. Her mother is of Danish and English descent.
Dushku intended to attend Suffolk University in Boston where her mother taught at the time, but her agent asked her to submit a videotape audition for a show starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, another of his clients. Dushku rushed out to purchase dark makeup and other appropriate accessories for the part after reading the script.
She was cast to play Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When she began her work on that series, Dushku was still a minor. She had to receive emancipation to work the production's long hours.
She later recalled with amusement that the judge who handled her emancipation case was an avid fan of that show. She joked that she would sign the emancipation order if she could get a signed photo from Dushku.
She is an American actress and model known for her television roles. She starred as Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff series Angel. She starred in two Fox series, Tru Calling and Dollhouse. She is also known for her roles in films including True Lies, The New Guy, Bring It On, Wrong Turn and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Osaka, Japan
Osaka means "large hill." The city's west side is open to Osaka Bay. The area is surrounded by ten satellite cities otherwise. The city used to be known as Naniwa.
Winters are mild in temperature (avg. high 49 F/9.3 C). It rarely snows. Spring starts off mild, but ends up being hot and humid. The rainy season happens between early June and late July.
Summers are very hot and humid. August is the hottest month (avg. high 92 F/ 33.5 C). Temperatures cool in Autumn. The second rainy season is from September to early October. Tropical weather systems including typhoons are possible from the south or southwest.
Central Osaka is roughly divided into downtown and uptown areas known as Kita (北, "north") and Minami (南, "south").
Kita is home to the Umeda district and its immediate surrounding neighborhoods. It is a major business and retail hub that plays host to Osaka Station City and a large subterranean network of shopping arcades.
Kita and nearby Nakanoshima contain a prominent portion of the city's skyscrapers. The high rise buildings are often featured in photographs of Osaka's skyline.
Minami is essentially in Chuo Ward (中央区 Chūō-ku). Chuo means "central." It is geographically central within the city. Well known districts here include shopping areas, the canal entertainment area and Nipponbashi Den Den Town. There are arts and fashion culture-oriented areas such as Amerikamura and Horie as well.
The business districts between Kita and Minami are called Semba (船場). They house the regional headquarters of many large-scale banks and corporations. The Midosuji boulevard runs through Semba and connects Kita and Minami.
Further south of Minami are neighborhoods with the Tsutenkaku tower, the Tennoji Zoo and the Kamagasaki slum, the largest slum in Japan.
The city's west side is a prominent bay area which serves as its main port as well as a tourist destination with attractions such as Kyocera Dome, Universal Studios Japan and the Tempozan Harbour Village.
East Osaka is zoned as a separate city. The east side of the city proper contains numerous residential neighborhoods including Tsuruhashi Korea Town, the Castle Park, the Business Park and the hub Kyobashi Station.
The city contains numerous urban canals and bridges. The phrase "808 bridges of Naniwa" was an expression in old Japan. It was used to indicate impressiveness and the "uncountable." There were roughly 200 bridges by the Edo period and 1629 bridges by 1925.
Many of the city's canals were gradually filled up. The number dropped to 872 of which 760 are currently managed by Osaka City.
The Osaka Castle was built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The settlement grew into one of Japan's major cities over the course of the Edo period (1603–1867) and returned to its ancient role as a lively and important port. A vibrant arts culture typified by Kabuki and Banruki theaters was cultivated by 1780.
The Umeda Sky Building was completed in 1993. The building features a rooftop observatory, the Floating Garden Observatory and an underground market that attempts to recreate the atmosphere of Osaka in the early 20th century. An urban garden with walking trails and water features is located at the base of the towers.
Tempozan Ferris Wheel opened to the public in 1997. The 17-minute ride offers a view of Osaka Bay and surrounding areas. Mount Ikoma is visible to the east, Akashi Kaikyō Bridge to the west, Kansai International Airport to the south and the Rokko Mountains to the north.
The wheel has colored lights that provide a weather forecast for the next day. Orange lights indicate a sunny day, green lights a cloudy day and blue lights rain.
The Kyocera Dome is a baseball stadium that also opened in 1997. It is the home field for the Orix Buffaloes.
Uemura Akari was born on December 30, 1998 in Osaka, Japan. Aarii is a Japanese pop singer under Hello! Project as a member of Juice=Juice.
Uemura received vocal and dance training in Hello Pro Kenshuusei starting in January 2012. It was announced on February 3, 2013 that she would debut in a new unit, Juice=Juice, alongside Miyamoto Karin, Kanazawa Tomoko, Miyazaki Yuka, Takagi Sayuki and Otsuka Aina.
She has expressed her admiration for Sayashi Riho many times. She used to go out to eat ramen with Oda Sakura and Hamaura Ayano when the were in Kenshuusei together.
She celebrated her 20th birthday in a fanclub event titled Juice=Juice Uemura Akari Birthday Event 2018 at Yamano Hall on December 8, 2018.

Vasily I
born 12.30.1371
in Moscow, Grand Duchy of Moscow
The Grand Duchy of Moscow
The Mongol Empire invaded Kievan Rus during the 13th century as part of the invasion of Europe. Muscovy was a tributary vassal to the Golden Horde until 1480.
The duchy originated when Daniel I inherited Moscow in 1283. The state eventually eclipsed and absorbed the parent duchy of Vladimir-Suzdal by the 1320’s.
Muscovites, Suzdalians and other inhabitants of the Rus principality were allowed to retain their pagan, Slavic and Orthodox Christian traditions under the Tatar yoke. There was contact with the Byzantine Empire that facilitated cultural exchange.
The Line for Succession
Moscow was an insignificant trading outpost in the principality of Vladimir-Suzdal when the Golden Horde invaded Kievan Rus. The Tartars burned down Moscow in the winter of 1238.
The settlement was pillaged in 1293. The remote location for the outpost in a forested location offered some security from further attacks and occupation. A number of rivers provided access to the Baltic and Black Seas and to the Caucasus region.
The state of Moscow was developed by a line of dukes who ruled as princes in the larger principality. This line turned the small principality in the Moscow River Basin into the largest state in Europe in the 16th century.
Expansion of Muscovy 1340-1462
The first ruler was Daniel I. He was the youngest son of Alexander Nevsky of Vladimir-Suzdal. He started to expand his territory by seizing Kolomna and securing the bequest of Pereslavl-Zalessky to his family.
Daniel’s son Yury was also known as Georgiy. He ruled from 1303-1325. He came to control the entire basin of the Moskva River. He expanded westward by conquering Mozhaisk. He forged an alliance with the overlord of the Rus’ principalities, Uzbeg Khan of the Golden Horde, with his marriage to the khan’s sister.
The Khan allowed Yury to claim the title of Grand Duke of Vladimir-Suzdal. The position allowed him to interfere in the affairs of the Novgorod Republic to the north-west.
Ivan I ruled from 1325-1340 as Yury’s successor. He managed to retain the title of Grand Duke by cooperating with the Mongols. He collected tribute and taxes from other Rus’ principalities on their behalf.
The relationship enabled Ivan to gain regional ascendancy. The northern city of Tver rebelled against the Horde in 1327. The uprising was subdued by the joint forces of the Grand Duchy of Suzdal, the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Tatars.
The victory over Tver helped Ivan to become one of the richest people in Rus’. He was known as “Kalita”, the “Moneybag”. (Ivan IV was known as the “Terrible.”) He used his treasure to purchase land in other principalities to finance the construction of stone churches in the Moscow Kremlin.
The Orthodox Metropolitan Peter (1308-1326) transferred his residence from Kiev to Moscow in 1325. The move enhanced the prestige of the duchy.
Ivan’s successors continued to gather land in Rus’ to increase the population and wealth for their rule. Their interests clashed with the expansion of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The subjects for this duchy were predominantly East Slavic and Orthodox.
Map of Lithuania 13th century
Grand Duke Algirdas of Lithuania allied himself by marriage with Tver. He undertook three expeditions against Moscow in 1368, 1370 and 1372. He was unable to take it. The main contention between Moscow and Vilnius was the city of Smolensk.
The royal family and the country were hit by the Black Death in the 1350’s. Dmitri Ivanovich was 9 years old when his parents died.
The ruler of Moscow found himself surrounded by Lithuanians and Muslim nomads. Dmitri Donskoi was educated by Metropolitan Alexis. Alexis ran the government in fact. Dmitry of Suzdal was the regent during the minority of heir apparent.
Donskoi acted as a champion for Orthodoxy when he ascended to his authority. He cultivated alliance with the Orthodox Church of Rus’. The duchy experienced a resurgence in influence due to the monastic reform of Sergius of Radonezh. The most important event during his early reign was to start the building of the Moscow Kremlin. It was completed in 1367.
The city withstood two sieges by Algirdas of Lithuania during the Lithuanian-Muscovite War (1368-72) thanks to the new fortress. The war ended with the Treaty of Lyubutsk. Dmitry settled a conflict with Mikhail II of Tver over Vladimir.
He managed to unite the warring principalities of Rus’ in his struggle against the Horde. Other princes from northern Russia acknowledged his authority. They contributed troops to the impending struggle. Dmitry had more than doubled the territory of the Principality of Moscow by the end of his reign.
He challenged the Khan’s authority and defeated his commander Mamai in the epic Battle of Kulikovo. The conflict took place on September 8, 1380 at Kulikovo Field near the Don River. Dmitry became known as Donskoi (of the Don) after the event.
The victory did not result in long term benefits immediately. Tokhtamysh sacked Moscow in 1382 to reassert vested authority over his vassal, the Grand Prince. While the Mongol domination did not end, it is regarded as the turning point. Muscovite power began to rise. Mongolian influence started to wane.
Dmitri became a national hero. The memory of Kulikovo Field mad the Rus’ people start believing in their ability to end Tatar domination. They were on the way to independence.
Vasily I Dimitriyevich
(1371-1425)
Vasily was the oldest son of Dmitry Donskoi and Grand Princess Eudoxia. Eudoxia was the daughter of Grand Prince Dmitry Konstantinovich of Nizhny Novgorod.
Vasily had traveled to the Tatar Khan Tokhtamysh in 1383 to obtain the Khan's patent for his father to rule the Russian lands as the grand prince of Vladimir. The prince of Tver also sought the patent.
Vasily succeeded in his mission diplomatically. He was kept at Tokhtamysh's court as a hostage until 1386. He took advantage of Tokhtamysh's conflict with his suzerain Timur Lenk (Tamerlane) to escape and return to Moscow.
He was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1389 to 1425. He continued the process of unification started by his father. He annexed the principalities of Nizhny Novgorod and Murom.
The Khan gave him Nizhny Novgorod in exchange for the help Moscow had given from 1397-98 against one of his rivals, Kaluga, Vologda. Veliki Ustyug and the lands of the Komi people were also annexed.
Feudal land ownership kept growing during his reign. The judicial powers of land owners were partially diminished and transferred to Vasily's deputies with the growth of princely authority in Moscow.
The Cathedral of the Annunciation
Russian chronicles recorded the name of a monk, Lazar the Serb. When he had newly arrived from Serbia he invented and built a clock on a tower in the Grand Prince's palace in Moscow. It was located behind the Cathedral of the Annunciation at the request of Vasily I in 1404.
It was the first mechanical clock in Russia. It was among the first ten such advanced clocks in Europe. It was a technical miracle at the time. The numbers were written in Church Slavonic. The clock and the church in which it was located have not survived.
The most important ecclesiastical event of the time was the elevation of the Bulgarian, Gregory Tsamblak, to the metropolitan see of Kiev by Vytautus, the grand duke of Lithuania. The hold of Moscow on the south-western Russian states was weakened as an immediate political consequence.
Vasily entered into an alliance with Lithuania in 1392 to prevent being attacked by the Tatars. He married Sophia, the only daughter of Vytautas the Great. The alliance turned out to be fragile. They waged war between 1406-1408.
Timur was the last of the nomadic conquerors of the Eurasian Steppe. He was the Emir. He became the ruler of the Muslim world after defeating the Mamluks of Egypt and Syria, the emerging Ottoman empire and the declining Delhi Sultanate. He led military campaigns across western, southern and central Asia, the Caucasus and southern Russia.
The Mongolian emir raided the Slavic lands in 1395. He invaded the Volgan regions but did not penetrate as far as Moscow. Timur's raid served the Russian prince in the damage it caused to the Tatars.
The Horde was left in a state of anarchy for the next 12 years. No tribute was paid to the Khan Olug Moxammat. Vast sums of money were collected in the Moscow treasury for military purposes.
The Timurid Empire looked like the next threat to the duchy, but the empire fragmented shortly after he died in 1405.
Edigu of the White Horde burnt Nizhny Novgorod, Gorodets, Rostov, Moscow and many other towns in 1408, but he failed to take Moscow. Vasily paid a long deferred visit of submission to the Horde in 1412.
Moscow's influence was growing abroad. This growth was evident in the fact that Vasily married his daughter Anna to Emperor John VIII Palaeologus of Byzantium in 1414.
Vasily I had served as a vassal to the Horde between 1389-1395 and again from 1412-1425.
The Rurik line lasted from Daniel I in 1283 to Feodor I, the son of Ivan IV, in 1598. Ivan IV was the first csar. The Godunov line had a short run from 1598-1605.
The Romanov line was started in 1613 when Michael was elected Tsar. The line ruled as tsars until Peter the Great, another Romanov, reorganized the government as an empire along western lines. His reign started in 1682.
The first university of higher learning was established in Moscow in 1687. It was called the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy. This was the start of public education. Education in literacy prior to that point in time was provided by the Church in Slavonic. It was taught for prayer and bible study.
Cyril and Methodius had created the Glagolitic alphabet to translate the Bible and other texts into the Slavic language. It was first used in Moravia in 863.
The early Cyrillic alphabet was a simplification of the Glagolitic for a closer correspondence with Greek. It was used at schools established by Boris-Michael in the first Bulgarian Empire after he was baptized in 864.
The people of Kiev were baptised in 988 when Vladimir was the prince of Rus. The Cyrillic alphabet was used to write in Slavonic.
The Romanovs stayed in power for the most part until Nicholas II was overthrown by the Bolsheviks in 1917.
Rasputin was murdered on December 30, 1916. The USSR was formed on the same day in 1922.
The Soviet Union fell on December 26, 1991. The current government for Russia is a federation with a constitution. They are not communists.
Socialism persists as a problem for many nations. It is a problem because the economic theory uses the threat of insurrection or subversion as a means to overthrow government that is perceived to be conservative.
The precipitation of profit from war is a policy that advocates for liberal expenditure to promote insurrection with the force of arms or subversion with the rejection of conservative officials at the expense of the tax paying public.
The current FBI investigation of the president has claimed organization against collusion with Russia. There were videos of President Putin released to social media. There was a claim that leading Democrats had been hacked by Russians, but the claim has been shown to be motivated by partisan politics.
J. Edgar Hoover had an anti-communist policy that resulted in the deportation of one US resident. Communism was associated with treason because the economic theory had been used for the violent overthrow of foreign governments. The threat of violent overthrow was used to promote socialism as a theory that obtained results in politics. This is the subversive element.
The Bureau was used by Senator McCarthy for media expression against communism. The people that were dismissed from work were released by the authority of Congress.
I haven't found any reports of anyone having been imprisoned for communism. Liberals in the leadership of the FBI have reported prison sentences as part of the punishment for supporting collusion with Russia.
The FBI has been using socialism as a means to subordinate the office of the president to the covert agency control of Congress. They also display a drive in organization to have the president impeached because he, unlike his opponent in the presidential election, did not support an increase in hostility against Russia.
Rep. Pelosi spoke of the “power” that her election represents to the president. The context suggests that her definition of power includes the impeachment of the president if he doesn’t ‘get on board’ with her authority.
The implication was subversive. The Democrat platform is against the wall and immigration reform. It is for agreement with an increase in the taxation of the people.
This is not acceptable as public policy. The end of increasing expenditure for the precipitation of profit for violent insurrection or political subversion abroad is being used to increase the expense for having the chief executive official impeached for not supporting the continual increase in expenditure for the promotion of insecurity abroad or domestically at the expense of the security that is inherent to the civil rights for the US or any other national population.

Harlesden, England
The Jubilee Clock
Harlesden is an area located in northwest London. The clock that celebrates the jubilee of Queen Victoria serves as a focal point. The location has been unofficially called London’s reggae capital for the vibrancy of the Caribbean culture entertained by the population.
The population includes people of Afro-Caribbean descent as well as Irish, Portuguese, Brazilian, smaller Latin American and East African groups within the community.
Harlesden was a rural village in the 19th century. It began to develop an urban appearance with the building of the railways. Cottages for industrial and railway workers were built along with larger houses for the middle class.
The rural nature for the area was lost as factories replaced farms and woodland. Housing continued to expand from late Victorian times until the 1930’s. The village became part of the larger conurbation.
Charles Dunbar Broad
C.D. Broad was born in Harlesden in London, England on December 30, 1887.
He was educated at Dulwich College from 1900 until 1906. He gained a scholarship to study at Trinity College Cambridge in 1906. He gradaute with First-Class Honours with distinction n 1910.
He became a Fellow of Trinity College. This was a non-residential position. It enabled him to accept a position he had applied for as an assistant lecturer at St. Andrews University. He remained there in 1920 and worked there until 1923. He returned to Trinity College as a College lecturer.
He was a lecturer in 'moral science' in the faculty of philosophy at Cambridge University from 1926 until 1931.
He was appointed 'Sidgwick Lecturer' at Cambridge University in that year. He kept this role until he was appointed Knightbridge Professor of Moral Philosophy at the university in 1933. He held the position until 1953.
Broad was president of the Aristotelian Society from 1927 to 1928. He reprised the role from 1954 to 1955. He was also president of the Society for Psychical Research in 1935 and 1958.
He never married during a time when homosexual acts were designated as illegal by legislation. He sent a letter along with A.J. Ayer, Bertrand Russell, J.B. Priestly and 27 others to The Times. The letter urged the acceptance of the Wolfenden's Report's recommendation that homosexual acts should "no longer be a criminal offence."
Broad argued for "non-occurent causation" as "literally determined by the agent or self" in his essay "Determinism, Indeterminism, and Libertarianism."

Boston, Massachusetts
Boston is the capital for Massachusetts. It is the largest city in population for the state and the New England region. It is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Ir was founded in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England.
It was the scene for a number of key events in the American Revolution. There was the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston. It continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub after the War for Independence. It developed as a center for education and culture.
The city's economy had recovered after 30 years of economic downturn by the 1970's. A number of high rise buildings were constructed in the Financial District and in Boston's Back Bay during this period.
Boston is sometimes called a "city of neighborhoods." There is a profusion of diverse subsections within the sections. The city government's Office of Neighborhood Services has officially designated 23 neighborhoods.
Nearly 23% of the population have identified as having Irish descent. This is the highest percentage of the top 50 most populous US cities according to a 2014 survey.
Boston had started as a Puritan stronghold. It changed dramatically in the 19th century with the arrival of European immigrants. The Irish dominated the first wave of newcomers during this period after the Great Irish Famine.
The population of Ireland had grown to about 8.2 million people by 1841. One estimate of the emigration for the potato blight put the population of Irish immigrants at 1.5 million between 1845 and 1855. Most moved to the US.
Their arrival transformed Boston from an Anglo-Saxon, Protestant city into one that has become progressively more diverse. Many Irish immigrants fought for the Union in the American Civil War. The display of patriotism helped to dispel much of the prejudice against them.
Summers are typically warm and humid. Winters are cold and stormy with occasional heavy storms. The coastal location on the North Atlantic moderates temperatures, but the city is prone to Nor'easter weather systems that produce much snow and rain.
Fog is fairly common in the spring and early summer. When sea breezes blow in from the sea when the ocean is cold create a drop in temperature. Thunderstorms are generated from May to September. These storms can occasionally include large hail, damaging winds and heavy downpours. The climate is relatively sunny overall.
The Boston based non-profit health care organization Partners in Health was founded in 1987. The organizational goals are to take the benefits of modern medical research to those in need to provide healthcare to the poorest areas of developing countries.
The organization collaborates with Harvard Medical School and the Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Eliza Dushku was born in Boston on December 30. She is the daughter of Philip Richard Dushku and Judith Ann (nee Rasmussen), a political science professor. Dushku's father is an Albanian from the city of Korce. Her mother is of Danish and English descent.
Dushku intended to attend Suffolk University in Boston where her mother taught at the time, but her agent asked her to submit a videotape audition for a show starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, another of his clients. Dushku rushed out to purchase dark makeup and other appropriate accessories for the part after reading the script.
She was cast to play Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When she began her work on that series, Dushku was still a minor. She had to receive emancipation to work the production's long hours.
She later recalled with amusement that the judge who handled her emancipation case was an avid fan of that show. She joked that she would sign the emancipation order if she could get a signed photo from Dushku.
She is an American actress and model known for her television roles. She starred as Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff series Angel. She starred in two Fox series, Tru Calling and Dollhouse. She is also known for her roles in films including True Lies, The New Guy, Bring It On, Wrong Turn and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Osaka, Japan
Osaka means "large hill." The city's west side is open to Osaka Bay. The area is surrounded by ten satellite cities otherwise. The city used to be known as Naniwa.
Winters are mild in temperature (avg. high 49 F/9.3 C). It rarely snows. Spring starts off mild, but ends up being hot and humid. The rainy season happens between early June and late July.
Summers are very hot and humid. August is the hottest month (avg. high 92 F/ 33.5 C). Temperatures cool in Autumn. The second rainy season is from September to early October. Tropical weather systems including typhoons are possible from the south or southwest.
Central Osaka is roughly divided into downtown and uptown areas known as Kita (北, "north") and Minami (南, "south").
Kita is home to the Umeda district and its immediate surrounding neighborhoods. It is a major business and retail hub that plays host to Osaka Station City and a large subterranean network of shopping arcades.
Kita and nearby Nakanoshima contain a prominent portion of the city's skyscrapers. The high rise buildings are often featured in photographs of Osaka's skyline.
Minami is essentially in Chuo Ward (中央区 Chūō-ku). Chuo means "central." It is geographically central within the city. Well known districts here include shopping areas, the canal entertainment area and Nipponbashi Den Den Town. There are arts and fashion culture-oriented areas such as Amerikamura and Horie as well.
The business districts between Kita and Minami are called Semba (船場). They house the regional headquarters of many large-scale banks and corporations. The Midosuji boulevard runs through Semba and connects Kita and Minami.
Further south of Minami are neighborhoods with the Tsutenkaku tower, the Tennoji Zoo and the Kamagasaki slum, the largest slum in Japan.
The city's west side is a prominent bay area which serves as its main port as well as a tourist destination with attractions such as Kyocera Dome, Universal Studios Japan and the Tempozan Harbour Village.
East Osaka is zoned as a separate city. The east side of the city proper contains numerous residential neighborhoods including Tsuruhashi Korea Town, the Castle Park, the Business Park and the hub Kyobashi Station.
The city contains numerous urban canals and bridges. The phrase "808 bridges of Naniwa" was an expression in old Japan. It was used to indicate impressiveness and the "uncountable." There were roughly 200 bridges by the Edo period and 1629 bridges by 1925.
Many of the city's canals were gradually filled up. The number dropped to 872 of which 760 are currently managed by Osaka City.
The Osaka Castle was built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The settlement grew into one of Japan's major cities over the course of the Edo period (1603–1867) and returned to its ancient role as a lively and important port. A vibrant arts culture typified by Kabuki and Banruki theaters was cultivated by 1780.
The Umeda Sky Building was completed in 1993. The building features a rooftop observatory, the Floating Garden Observatory and an underground market that attempts to recreate the atmosphere of Osaka in the early 20th century. An urban garden with walking trails and water features is located at the base of the towers.
Tempozan Ferris Wheel opened to the public in 1997. The 17-minute ride offers a view of Osaka Bay and surrounding areas. Mount Ikoma is visible to the east, Akashi Kaikyō Bridge to the west, Kansai International Airport to the south and the Rokko Mountains to the north.
The wheel has colored lights that provide a weather forecast for the next day. Orange lights indicate a sunny day, green lights a cloudy day and blue lights rain.
The Kyocera Dome is a baseball stadium that also opened in 1997. It is the home field for the Orix Buffaloes.
Uemura Akari was born on December 30, 1998 in Osaka, Japan. Aarii is a Japanese pop singer under Hello! Project as a member of Juice=Juice.
Uemura received vocal and dance training in Hello Pro Kenshuusei starting in January 2012. It was announced on February 3, 2013 that she would debut in a new unit, Juice=Juice, alongside Miyamoto Karin, Kanazawa Tomoko, Miyazaki Yuka, Takagi Sayuki and Otsuka Aina.
