Two large metal objects were found in the search for the AirAsia airliner in the Java Sea, according to the head of Indonesia’s Search and Rescue Agency, Bambang Soelistyo. The objects were discovered using a metal detection system aboard an Indonesian ship.
December 29, 2014, 7:32 AM|The search for AirAsia Flight 8501 is a reminder of another mystery: the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. At first glance, Flight 8501’s disappearance echoes that of Flight 370, with the airline and regional governments having failed so far to explain how this happened. But the circumstances surrounding its disappearance, and the reaction of those involved, are shaping up to be very different. Elaine Quijano reports.

Notonectidae is a cosmopolitan family of aquatic insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly called Backswimmers because they swim upside down. The Common Backswimmer, Notonecta glauca, is widespread in the United Kingdom, where it is known as the greater water boatman,[1] and in Europe.
Nonectidae are similar in appearance to Corixidae (common names ‘Water boatman’ in the US, ‘Lesser water boatman’ in the UK), but can be distinguished by their larger size (up to 20 mm), dorsal-ventral coloration, front legs, and predatory behavior.
Backswimmers swim on their backs, vigorously paddling with their long, hair-fringed hind legs and attack prey as large as tadpoles and small fish They can inflict a painful “bite” on a human being (actually, similar to a mosquito “bite”, it is a stab with their tubular mouthpart). They inhabit still freshwater, e.g. lakes, ponds, marshes, and are sometimes found in garden ponds. Although primarily aquatic, they can fly well and so can disperse easily to new habitats. They seem to be attracted to light; similar to a moth drawn to a flame.

The Eye of Providence (or the all-seeing eye of God) is a symbol showing an eye often surrounded by rays of light or a glory and usually enclosed by a triangle. It is sometimes interpreted as representing the eye of God watching over humankind (or divine providence).[1][2][3] In the modern era, the most notable depiction of the eye is the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, which appears on the United States one-dollar bill.

Religious use[edit]
Eye of Horus amulet, antique
Many religions have used the image of an eye in their religious symbolism. One of the earliest known examples (from Egyptian mythology) is the Eye of Horus.
However, the association of an eye with the concept of Divine Providence did not emerge until well into the Christian era, in Renaissance European iconography, where it was an explicit image of the Christian Trinity. Seventeenth-century depictions of the Eye of Providence sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts.

An early Masonic version of the Eye of Providence with clouds and a semi-circular glory
Today, the Eye of Providence is usually associated with Freemasonry. The Eye first appeared as part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in 1797, with the publication of Thomas Smith Webb’s Freemasons Monitor.[7] Here, it represents the all-seeing eye of God and is a reminder that a Mason’s thoughts and deeds are always observed by God (who is referred to in Masonry as the Great Architect of the Universe). Typically, the Masonic Eye of Providence has a semi-circular glory below the eye. Sometimes the Eye is enclosed by a triangle.

Popular among conspiracy theorists is the claim that the Eye of Providence shown atop an unfinished pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States indicates the influence of Freemasonry in the founding of the United States. This was dramatized in the 2004 Disney film National Treasure. However, common Masonic use of the Eye dates to 14 years after the creation of the Great Seal. Furthermore, among the members of the various design committees for the Great Seal, only Benjamin Franklin was a Mason (and his ideas for the seal were not adopted). Indeed, many Masonic organizations have explicitly denied any connection to the creation of the Seal.[8][9]

“If You Could Read My Mind”
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
‘Bout a ghost from a wishin’ well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I’m a ghost that you can’t see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won’t read that book again
Because the ending’s just too hard to take
I’d walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let’s be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it
I don’t know where we went wrong
But the feeling’s gone and I just can’t get it back
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
‘Bout a ghost from a wishin’ well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You’ll know that I’m just tryin’ to understand
The feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it
I don’t know where we went wrong
But the feeling’s gone and I just can’t get it back

Spirulina is a genus of the phylum Cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are classified as either blue-green algae or as blue-green bacteria. Spirulina is often referred to as a so-called “green food” along with wheat grass, barley grass, and chlorella. [1]
Spirulina is a form of blue-green algae. The most common species used as food supplements are Spirulina platensis and Spirulina maxima which are harvested either from outdoor tanks or in lakes in Mexico, Central and South America, and Africa.
Uses
The following are the primary uses for spirulina: [1]
In an animal study, spirulina exerted an inhibitory effect on the ability of herpes simplex virus type 1 from penetrating cells. In other in vitro studies, spirulina has been shown to inhibit the replication of cytomegalovirus, measles virus, mumps virus, influenza A virus, and HIV-1. Spirulina works to inhibit penetration into cells of these viruses as well. More recent research has been done using spirulina to inhibit HIV-1 replication in human T-cell lines, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and Langerhans cells with promising results being shown with Spirulina platensis.
Immune Modulation
Spirulina has been shown to inhibit chemically induced anaphylactic shock and serum histamine levels in rats. In another animal study, spirulina has been shown to inhibit local allergic reactions. It has been concluded that spirulina inhibits mast-cell mediated immediate-type allergic reactions in vitro and in vivo.
The recommended dosages have not yet been established. To determine what your specific requirements are talk to your naturopathic doctor or other trained medical professional.
Spirulina can be found in a variety of “green food” supplements in the form of capsules, tablets, flakes, and powders.
Adult: typical doses range from 250mg – 5g daily.
Safety
Spirulina is generally regarded as safe, yet spirulina and blue-green algae products are very susceptible to contaminants and the source of the spirulina or blue-green algae must be considered.[2]
Spirulina can accumulate heavy metals such as mercury and therefore only reputable sources should be used.
Contaminated blue-green algae can cause liver damage, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, weakness, thirst, rapid heartbeat, shock, and death. Don’t use any blue-green algae product that hasn’t been tested and found free of mycrocystins and other contamination.
Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and allergic reactions can occur, yet they are rare.
Children: Spirulina is not recommended for children or adolescents.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Spirulina should be avoided during this time as there are not sufficient studies to determine its safety and because the risk associated with contaminated spirulina is too high.
Contraindications
hypersensitivity to any component of spirulina
Precautions
Spirulina can accumulate heavy metals such as mercury and therefore only reputable sources should be used.
Blue-green algae might cause the immune system to become more active, and this could increase the symptoms of auto-immune diseases.
Phenylketonuria: The spirulina species of blue-green algae contains the chemical phenylalanine. This might make phenylketonuria worse.
Drug Interactions:
Medications that decrease the immune system (Immunosuppressants): By increasing the immune system, blue-green algae might decrease the effectiveness of medications that decrease the immune system.
Some medications that decrease the immune system include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), corticosteroids (glucocorticoids), and others.
Nutrient Interactions
No known interactions

Spyro Gyra/ˌspaɪroʊˈdʒaɪrə/ is an Americanjazz fusion band that was originally formed in the mid-1970s in Buffalo, New York, United States. Their music, often featured on smooth jazz radio stations, combines jazz with elements of R&B, funk and pop music. To date, the band has released over 30 albums and sold over 10 million copies. They average about 100 live performances per year. Popular singles include “Shaker Song” and “Morning Dance” (1979).
With the exception of founding bandleader Jay Beckenstein (alto saxophonist and songwriter) and Tom Schuman (keyboardist), the personnel has changed over time, and between the studio and the live stage. Today, guitarist Julio Fernandez is also in his third decade with the band.
The band’s name is a misspelling of Spirogyra, a genus of green algae, which Beckenstein had written about in a college biology paper.

Gay Paree
When people speak of Gay Paree,
They think that when they say Paree is gay,
They mean that gay Paree is gay;
It is! Not in a way Paree
Was gay and yesterday Paree;
It means today that gay Paree is “Gay!”
Not that gay!
They say Paree has always been “That way!”
Along the banks of the Seine,
Just take a walk now and then,
You’ll meet some interesting men: Gay Paree!
Along the Rue Madeleine,
Each evening ’round about ten
You’ll see it time and time again: Gay Paree!
If you’ve a soiree to spare,
Go to the Follies Bergeres,
You’ll see such gaiety there,
C’est la vie!
Around the Rue des Beaux-Arts,
Where all the cabarets shows are
I mean, well, really those are,
You’ll agree,
What they mean when they say Gay Paree!
Du Foubourg Saint Honore,
Where all the millionaires play,
Is also I’m so glad to say: Gay Paree!
The Rue de Rivoli Arcade
Where fancy goods are displayed,
There’s also plenty of rough trade: Gay Paree!
And in arrondissement eight,
The Champs Elysees I would rate
Perhaps the one thing that’s straight as can be.
And at the Cafe de la Paix,
If you are heading that way,
They drink a toast ev’ry day around three;
They make each moment as gay
As Le Quatorze of Juillet;
That’s what they mean when the say
“Gay Paree!”

A group of fellas found a new kind of music
And they decided to call it…jazz,
No other sound has what this music has.
Before they knew it, it was whizzin’ ’round the world,
The world was ready for a blue kind of music
And now they play it from Steamboat Springs to La Paz.
Oh, baby, won’t you play me
Le jazz hot maybe
And don’t ever let it end.
I tell ya, friends, it’s really something to hear,
I can’t sit still when there’s that rhythm near me.
Also, baby, le jazz hot maybe
What’s holdin’ my soul together.
Don’t know whether it’s morning or night,
Only know it’s sounding right.
So come on in an’ play me
Le jazz hot, baby,
‘Cos I love my jazz

Amy Tenderich of DiabetesMine recently met a representative of Integrity Applications, an Ashkelon, Israel firm that has developed the GlucoTrack non-invasive blood glucose monitor. The device, which we profiled about four years ago when it was still in prototype stage, uses ultrasound, conductivity and heat capacity in an ear clip sensor to take glucose readings in a matter of seconds. Integrity recently received European approval for the GlucoTrack and is now waiting for FDA’s blessings to market in the US.

Types of Measurement Techniques
Non-invasive glucose monitoring techniques can be grouped as subcutaneous, dermal, epidermal and combined dermal and epidermal glucose measurements.
Matrices other than blood under investigation include interstitial fluid, ocular fluids and sweat. Test sites being explored include finger tips, cuticle, finger web, forearm and ear lobe. Subcutaneous measurements include microdialysis, wick extraction, and implanted electrochemical or competitive flourescence sensors. Microdialysis is also an investigational dermal and epidermal glucose measurement technique. Epidermal measurements can be obtained via infrared spectroscopy, as well. Combined dermal and epidermal fluid glucose measurements include extraction fluid technqiues (iontophoresis, skin suction and suction effusion techniques) and optical techniques. The optical techniques include near infrared spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, raman spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, scatter and polarization changes [4]. This overview is focused on a description of the optical techniques (Table 1) currently under development by diagnostic equipment manufacturers for glucose monitoring in diabetics- the fastest growing segment of diagnostic testing.
Common Features of Non-Invasive Optical Techniques
Non-invasive optical measurement of glucose is performed by focusing a beam of light onto the body. The light is modified by the tissue after transmission through the target area. An optical signature or fingerprint of the tissue content is produced by the diffuse light that escapes the tissue it has penetrated. The absorbance of light by the skin is due to its chemical components (i.e., water, hemoglobin, melanin, fat and glucose). The transmission of light at each wavelength is a function of thickness, color and structure of the skin, bone, blood and other material through which the light passes [4].
The glucose concentration can be determined by analyzing the optical signal changes in wavelength, polarization or intensity of light. The sample volume measured by these methods depends on the measurement site. The correlation with blood glucose is based on the percent of fluid sample that is interstitial, intracellular or capillary blood. Drs. Roe and Smoller [4] have devised the following example. The fluid viewed through the limb is 63% intracellular and 37% extracellular, of which 27% is interstitial and 10% plasma. A blood glucose value of 100mg/dl is equivalent to a tissue sample glucose average of 38mg/dl of which 26% is due to blood, 58% is due to interstitial fluid and 16% is due to intracellular fluid. What the tissue sample glucose means clinically in respect, to therapy is still under investigation.
Not only is the optical measurement dependent on concentration changes in all body compartments measured, but changes in the ratio of tissue fluids (as altered by activity level, diet or hormone fluctuations) and this, in turn, effects the glucose measurement. Problems also occur due to changes in the tissue after the original calibration and the lack of transferablity of calibration from one part of the body to another. Tissue changes include: body fluid source of the blood supply for the body fluid being measured, medications that affect the ratio of tissue fluids, day-to-day changes in the vasculature, the aging process, diseases and the person‘s metabolic activity.

Laser light is used to induce emission from transitions near the level excited.
Photoacoustic Spectroscopy
Laser excitation of fluids is used to generate an acoustic response and a spectrum as the laser is tuned.
Scatter Changes
The scattering of light can be used to indicate a change in the material being examined.
Polarization Changes
The presence of glucose in a fluid is known to cause a polarization preference in the light transmitted.
Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy
Absorption or emission data in the 2.5 µm – 25 µm region are examined and used to quantitate glucose in a fluid.

Fluid Glucose Optical Measurement Strategies
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR)
Glucose produces one of the weakest NIR absorption signals per concentration unit of the body‘s major components. NIR spectroscopy glucose measurement enables investigation of tissue depths in the range of 1 to 100 millimeters with a general decrease in penetration depth as the wavelength value is increased. NIR transmission through an ear lobe, finger web and finger cuticle or reflected from the skin of the forearm and lip mucosa has been attempted in the NIR region between 1000nm to 2500nm. NIR diffuse reflectance measurements have been performed on the finger and cuticle have shown good correlation with blood glucose but 10% of the predictions are not clinically acceptable [5].
Diffuse reflectance studies of the inner lip also have shown good correlation with blood glucose and indicated a time lag of 10 minutes between blood glucose and the measurement signal [6]. Salivary glucose levels (a component of lip measurements) did not reflect blood glucose levels. Physical and chemical parameters such as variation in pressure, temperature, triglyceride and albumin interfere with glucose measurement. Errors can also occur due to environmental variations such as changes in temperature, humidity, skin hydration, carbon dioxide, and atmospheric pressure [4]. Extensive valid dation and testing of the glucose prediction equation is needed to determine if the glucose correlation is consistent in all clinically important conditions in all types of patients.
Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)
The IR glucose measurement systems at the epidermal surface enables investigation of tissue depths in the range of 10 to 50 micrometers at using a wavelength band in the IR region from 700 to 1000nm [7]. These systems do not measure glucose in the blood containing tissues. An attenuated total reflection technique has been used for oral mucosa, however, the drawbacks include glucose contamination of the measurement site by food and a highly variable saliva of low rate [8]. Assays using used whole blood as the sample matrix, are subject to interferences due to albumin, red cells and gamma globulin and changes in temperature and pH. Further, saliva glucose varies considerably and does not reflect blood glucose methods [4].
Raman Spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy measures scattered light that has been influenced by the oscillation and rotation of the scatter. Various raman techniques have been attempted in blood, water, serum, and plasma solutions and the eye, but multiple problems remain before human studies can be performed. Analytical problems include, instability in the laser wavelength and intensity, errors due to other chemicals in the tissue sample and long spectral acquisition times [4].
Photoacoustic Spectroscopy
Photoacoustic spectroscopy uses an optical beam to rapidly heat the sample and generate an acoustic pressure wave that an be measured by a microphone. The determination of glucose in blood [9], tissue phantoms [10] and humans [11] can provide greater sensitivity than conventional spectroscopy when specific physical parameters are favorable. Excellent correlation between the photoacoustic signal and blood glucose levels have been shown on index fingers of healthy and diabetic patients. The instrumentation is currently custom made, expensive and sensitive to environmental parameters. The technique is also subject to chemical interferences from biological molecules as well as physical interference from temperature and pressure changes.
Scatter Changes
Scatter measurement monitors the changes in tissue reduced scattering coefficient and is used for the determination of glucose in tissue phantoms and humans.
Increased glucose in the sample is proportional to an increase in the refractive index of the sample and thus the particle scattering properties of the sample are changed. Measurements on the abdomen of the diabetic patients showed excellent correlation between the scatter signal and blood glucose levels [12]. Many parameters contribute to a natural physiological drift of the scattering parameter. Methods are needed to compensate for the signal drift.
Polarization Changes
Although the change in optical signal by glucose is small, glucose is a good optical rotator. This characteristic has been used to conduct in-vitro glucose assays [13]. The intensity of light corresponds to the amount of light present. Skin is not a feasible site due to it‘s high light scattering properties. The eye‘s aqueous humor has been suggested and solution measurements have been published. Use of multiple wavelengths have been shown to minimize the poor specificity of this technique. Other optically active substances will interfere, with the analysis as will variations in the temperature and pH of the sample.

12/30/2014 It is through the Kōshin rite of folk religion that the most significant examples are presented. The Kōshin belief or practice is a Japanese folk religion with Chinese Taoism origins and ancient Shinto influence. It was founded by Tendai Buddhist monks in the late 10th century. A considerable number of stone monuments can be found all over the eastern part of Japan around Tokyo. During the later part of the Muromachi period, it was customary to display stone pillars depicting the three monkeys during the observance of Kōshin.
Though the teaching had nothing to do with monkeys, the concept of the three monkeys originated from a simple play on words. The saying in Japanese is mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru (見ざる, 聞かざる, 言わざる?) “don’t see, don’t hear, don’t speak”.[clarification needed] However, -zaru, an archaic negative verb conjugation, is pronounced the same as zaru, the vocalized form of saru (猿?), “monkey”, so the saying can also be interpreted as the names of three monkeys.
Meaning of the proverb[edit]
Three wise monkeys on the beach in Barcelona.
Just as there is disagreement about the origin of the phrase, there are differing explanations of the meaning of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.”
In Buddhist tradition, the tenets of the proverb are about not dwelling on evil thoughts.[3]
In the Western world both the proverb and the image are often used to refer to a lack of moral responsibility on the part of people who refuse to acknowledge impropriety, looking the other way or feigning ignorance.[3][12]
It may also signify a code of silence in gangs, or organised crime.[3]
Variations[edit]
Sometimes there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others; the last one, Shizaru, symbolizes the principle of “do no evil”. He may be shown crossing his arms or covering his genitals.
In another variation, a fourth monkey is depicted with a sulking posture and the caption “have no fun”.
The source that popularized this pictorial maxim is a 17th-century carving over a door of the famous Tōshō-gū shrine in Nikkō, Japan. The carvings at Toshogu Shrine were carved by Hidari Jingoro, and believed to have incorporated Confucius’s Code of Conduct, using the monkey as a way to depict man’s life cycle. There are a total of 8 panels, and the iconic three wise monkeys picture comes from panel 2. The philosophy, however, probably originally came to Japan with a Tendai-Buddhist legend, from China in the 8th century (Nara Period). It has been suggested that the figures represent the three dogmas of the so-called middle school of the sect.
In Chinese, a similar phrase exists in the Analects of Confucius from 2nd to 4th century B.C.: “Look not at what is contrary to propriety; listen not to what is contrary to propriety; speak not what is contrary to propriety; make no movement which is contrary to propriety” (非禮勿視, 非禮勿聽, 非禮勿言, 非禮勿動).[9] It may be that this phrase was shortened and simplified after it was brought into Japan.
The three wise monkeys (Japanese: 三猿 Hepburn: san’en or sanzaru?, alternatively 三匹の猿 sanbiki no saru, literally “three monkeys”), sometimes called the three mystic apes,[1] are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle to “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”.[2] The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.
There are various meanings ascribed to the monkeys and the proverb including associations with being of good mind, speech and action. In the Western world the phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by turning a blind eye.[3]

The noumenon /ˈnɒuːmɨnɒn/ is a posited object or event that is known (if at all) without the use of the senses.[1] The term is generally used in contrast with, or in relation to “phenomenon”, which refers to anything that appears to, or is an object of, the senses. In Platonic philosophy, the noumenal realm was equated with the world of ideas known to the philosophical mind, in contrast to the phenomenal realm, which was equated with the world of sensory reality, known to the uneducated mind.[2] Much of modern philosophy has generally been skeptical of the possibility of knowledge independent of the senses, and Immanuel Kant gave this point of view its classical version, saying that the noumenal world may exist, but it is completely unknowable to humans. In Kantian philosophy, the unknowable noumenon is often linked to the unknowable “thing-in-itself” (Ding an sich, which could also be rendered as “thing-as-such” or “thing per se”), although how to characterize the nature of the relationship is a question yet open to some controversy.

SEEING THINGS:
THE INTERNET, THE TALMUD AND ANAIS NIN
Jonathan Kadane Crane
University of Toronto
Joseph Born Kadane
Carnegie Mellon University
“We do not see things as they are, we see them
as we are.”
Anais Nin (1961)
This epigram (or something like it), is widely quoted on the Internet,
sometimes credited to the Cuban-French novelist Anais Nin and
sometimes to the Talmud.1
In a recent Newsweek article, Rabbi Marc Gellman refers these words to the Babylonian
Talmud, Tractate Berakoth 55b.3 However, what the Talmud actually
says there is—ein marin lo l’adam ela m’harhurei libo—“A man is
shown only what is suggested by his own thoughts.” The context of
this phrase is a Talmudic discussion about dreams; the epigram, however,
is about perception, not dreams. Neither the Babylonian nor
the Jerusalem Talmud supports the citation.4 Nor do the various
printed and on-line English translations of the Talmud support it.
How then, might the idea have suggested itself that the Talmud
had something to do with these words? For an answer to this question,
we look to the passage in Nin’s writing where the words in
question do appear. She writes: “Lillian was reminded of the Talmudic
words: ‘We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are.’ ”5
Hence people must have gotten from Nin herself the idea that these
words come from the Talmud.
Anais Nin
Nin’s words come from her novel Seduction of the Minotaur.
from https://jonathankcrane.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/seeing-things.pdf
The understanding of the Law of God, the Torah, was vital for their existence as a nation. The Jew had learned in the Babylonian captivity that he had to remain distinct from the heathen in both religious and secular life. Every aspect of his life was to be a constant reminder that he must remain distinct and holy. Beginning with Ezra, and all who followed, every word of the sages was memorized. This oral teaching was passed down and became the basis of the Talmud. The very explanation of the text became accepted as authoritative as the Scriptures themselves.
The Burdens Of The Oral Law
The word Talmud means “study” or “learning.” It consists of two parts. The older is called the Mishnah, which is a compilation of oral laws, and the Gemara, the second part, is the recording of the discussions. Basically the Talmud is referred to as the Oral Torah; whereas the Torah, or the Written Torah, is the five books of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy).
The Jews believe that, according to tradition, not only the Written Torah was given to Moses at Mount Sinai but also the Oral Torah. Ancient tradition says, from Exodus 20:1, that God had communicated to Moses the Bible, the Mishnah, Talmud and the Haggadah (legends, folklore, parables, etc.) (Berakoth 5a). It is said Moses received all the law, oral and written, with all its interpretations and applications. He handed it down to Joshua, Joshua to the Elders, the Elders to the Prophets, and the Prophets to the men of the great assembly (Avot 1:1).

Descartes’ method[edit]
René Descartes, the originator of Cartesian doubt, put all beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and matter in doubt. He showed that his grounds, or reasoning, for any knowledge could just as well be false. Sensory experience, the primary mode of knowledge, is often erroneous and therefore must be doubted. For instance, what one is seeing may very well be a hallucination. There is nothing that proves it cannot be. In short, if there is any way a belief can be disproved, then its grounds are insufficient. From this, Descartes proposed two arguments, the dream and the demon.[2]
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_doubt
I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands.
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying,
“I love you”.
I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
They’ll learn much more,
Than I’ll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Oh yeah.

In 2000 in the jungles of Panama, a young journalist, named Ana, has a chance encounter with a tiny orphaned sloth, which she names Velcro. For nearly two years, the pair is inseparable until finally Ana travels up a remote river to reintroduce Velcro back to the wild. This is the story Ana’s return to Central and South America to see how much has changed since Velcro came into her life. Sloths, once largely ignored, have become a hot topic of scientific researchers. New studies are showing that they’re not so sloth-like after all, that they have social structures, they move like primates, and that males keep small harems. Sloth sanctuaries and rehabilitation centers are also springing up throughout the Americas as development displaces these gentle creatures. Shot on location in Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia this is a story of friendship and a growing network of people working to learn more about sloths in order to protect them.

“Escape (The Piña Colada Song)”
I was tired of my lady, we’d been together too long
Like a worn out recording of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleepin’ I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns, there was this letter I readIf you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain
If you’re not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape
Then I’m the love that you’ve looked for, write to me and escapeI didn’t think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady had fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad
And though I’m nobody’s poet, I thought it wasn’t half badYes, I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain
I’m not much into health food, I am into champagne
I’ve got to meet you by tomorrow noon and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O’Malley’s where we’ll plan our escapeSo I waited with high hopes and she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady and she said, “Aw, it’s you.”
Then we laughed for a moment and I said, “I never knew.”That you like piña coladas and gettin’ caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
You’re the lady I’ve looked for, come with me and escapeIf you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain
If you’re not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
Then I’m the love that you’ve looked for, write to me and escapeYes I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain

Người Trung Nam Bắc một nhà
Về đây chung sống hát khúc hoan ca
Ngựa xe như nước rộn ràng
Ngập muôn sức sống tiềm tàng
Đèn đêm tung ánh sáng như hào quang
Lòng vui chân bước dật dờ
Đường đi quanh khúc Bàn Cờ
Cùng nhau vui sống ấm say tình thơ
DK:
Người ơi Saigon chốn đây
Là Ngọc Viễn Đông
Vốn đã lừng danh
Nắng lên muôn chim đùa hót
Muôn hoa cười đón
Vinh quang ngày mới
Cùng nhau đi tới Saigon
Là nơi du khách dập dồn
Từ năm châu tới viếng thăm Thủ Đô
Dòng sông chen chúc tàu đò
Ngựa xe buôn bán hẹn hò
Người dân no ấm sống đời tự do

… see universe with size/shape in previous notes .. you won’t have to deal with evil and good circular/sized/shaped expansion of a “point” which causes “the way of all flesh” dissipation/aggregation “see/hear/say evil” cycles as pointed out in previous note and by buddha’s “there is a way to cease suffering” and to “see/hear/say no evil only good” … even when you seem to have expanded/sinned/chosen/sided e.g. north korea and south korea by viewing north korea and south korea not as mutual nemesis but as parallel worlds on parallel tracks/grooves c.f. independent pendula pendulum waves … incidentally pendulum waves says “you’re only racing thi … die^~m thi … or rushing or ca’o delay in the sense of you’re trying to keep up or to synchronize with the universal Perpetual Motion of things that be” c.f. dhammapada saying about “racing” “one’s own self conquered/out-raced is the greatest of conquest/out-race” …

… when you ‘tu”/”stay” ye^n with the “beyond evil and good” … which is the same as “all-good” as zoroaster “all-good” … “point” aim “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng; everyone live well and long” … negatives do not cancel/balance positives e.g. “you’re not ok/well; i’m ok/well” because the you and the I are or might be independent … bob dylan’s song “did you think I made contact” … like the pendula in pendulum waves instead ho`a and balance is mutual independent co-existence is “all good” is “all positives” is “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” … if you believe in eternal co-existence you would nha^~n endure the best you can barring “acts of God” to suppress the negatives and only broadcast zoroaster good/goodness “you’re ok/well; i’m ok/well” for Mr. “Eternal/Eternity Now” Ecclesiastes warns of the negatives you broadcast coming back to haunt you “Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. 14God … or “the way of all flesh” that has chosen to expand the “point” “form” into a “form” with size/shape that takes sides evil/good, star/stripe, small/large, black/white etc. {even though we live in a universe with size/shape we can learn/earn/achieve the “see/hear/say no size/shape” “mind our own business” way that effectively/practically puts us in our own groove”} … will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.”] we aim for “you’re ok/well; i’m ok/well” … jesus christ could not be resurrected if buddha is also not resurrected if it is not true that “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” and when there is perfect cooperation between the two … e.g. in buying the two books … between everyone and “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” then it doesn’t matter the resurrection because everyone muo^n loa`i would be here and there and no one would know the difference … that is jesus christ and buddha would be with us would stay with us and we wouldn’t know any difference … that is the nature of the equilibrium path or the an pha^.n path or the path of wellness or the middle path … when one is well and live long and contented an pha^.n one thinks not of resurrection … for the notion of resurrection is an illusion born of not following the equilibrium path of wellness and an pha^.n …[one might ask how could it be that one is not following not desiring/driving/loving/aiming the path of equilibrium and wellness and contentment and an pha^.n for isn’t it true that everything is/are paths of equilibrium and wellness and contentment and an pha^.n? well, true everything is/are paths of equilibrium and wellness and contentment and an pha^.n, …. and the past the present and the future are all points on this path of equilibrium and wellness and contentment and an pha^.n … but Perpetual Motion enforces the switch from past to present to future as though the past is not an pha^.n contented well enough or equivalent to the present is not an pha^.n contented well enough or equivalent to the future …. and the illusion of resurrection/re-incarnation/return and not contented not an pha^.n not well originates in one seeing/hearing/saying the switch from past to present to future … e.g. usually switches suggests discontent otherwise wouldn’t you stay if you are contented? thus why switch from daytime to nighttime if you are contented with daytime and the answer is because without nighttime there would be no daytime … ubuntu … “THIS arises; THAT arises” … “daytime arises; nighttime arises” … to contrast and define it … similarly with the seasons autumn winter spring summer … : to^n ddi.nh and die^~m and mother bought to^nan winter coat so that the switch from summer to autumn to winter and eventually to spring and return/resurrect/reincarnate to summer won’t be obvious to to^nan so that to^nan would have eyes/ears/mouths but as though not see/hear/say the evil of the switch from summer to autumn to winter …previously mother and to^nan tried at ross to winterize but not succeeding so we bought guylian and turtle chocolates instead to keep us warm … either way or both ways food + clothing winterize … turns out to^n dddi.nh & die^~m had done bought us some clothing before we return to cali but we forgot …] …. for otherwise everyone and everything are here in the here and now past present and future all roll into one in the moment although everything won’t be able to recognize/sense everything’s presense for everything would be practically “invisible” … the “invisible everyman” … because the state of equilibrium and wellness and an pha^.n is characterized by senselessness/insensibilities by “have eyes/ears/mouths but as though cannot see/hear/say evil only see/hear/say good/goodness/godliness/god” …

John 1: 9The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
10He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. 11He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. 12But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.
14So the Word became humand and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness.e And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.

Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hearA song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the seaSaid the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace oh mighty king
Do you know what I knowA child, a child, shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say

Why Do Jews Wear Kippot?
Wearing a kippah is not a religious commandment. Rather it is a Jewish custom that over time has come to be associated with Jewish identity and showing respect for God. In Orthodox and Conservative circles covering one’s head is seen as a sign of yirat Shamayim, which means “reverence for God” in Hebrew. This concept comes from the Talmud, where wearing a head covering is associated with showing respect for God and for men of higher social status. Some scholars also cite the Middle Age custom of covering one’s head in the presence of royalty. Since God is the “King of Kings” it made sense to also cover one’s head during prayer or religious services, when one hopes to approach the Divine through worship.
According to author Alfred Koltach, the earliest reference to a Jewish head covering comes from Exodus 28:4, where it is called mitzneft and refers to a part of the High Priest’s wardrobe. Another biblical reference is II Samuel 15:30, where covering the head and face is a sign of mourning.

Rick Steves Special [#103(]The Holy Land, Israelis and Palestinians TodayThis program weaves together both the Israeli and the Palestinian narratives to better understand a place that is, for a third of humanity, literally holy land. The crossroads for 3 great religions, the Holy Land has been coveted and fought over for centuries.
Host Rick Steves visits the major sights, but delves deeper to better understand and empathize with both peoples. In Israel, he goes from the venerable ramparts of Jerusalem to the vibrant modern skyline of Tel Aviv. In Palestine, by harvesting olives near Hebron, visiting a home in Bethlehem, and popping into a university in Ramallah, he comes to know a land few tourists visit. And all along the way, he learns about security walls, disputed settlements, and the persistent challenges facing the region as Israelis and Palestinians learn to coexist peacefully.

Genesis 1 New International Version (NIV)
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

OUT OF NOTHING COMES NOTHING
Millndapanha 53-54.
Said King Milinda to the sage Nagasena: “Reverend Nagasena, are
there any things that exist which come out of things that did not exist?”
“There are not, great king, any things that exist which come out of
things that did not exist. Only out of things that existed, great king,
come things that exist.” “Give me an illustration.”
TIMBERS AND HOUSE
Well, what do you think, great king.” Did this house where
you are now sitting come out of things that did not exist .”
There is not a single thing here, Reverend Sir, which came out
of things that did not exist. Only out of things that existed did it
come. For example, Reverend Sir, these timbers existed in the
forest, and this clay existed in the earth. Thus, through the effort,
through the exertion, of women and men, did this house come
to exist.
“Precisely so, great king, there are not any things that exist which
come out of things that did not exist. Only out of things that existed,
great king, come things that exist.” “Illustrate the point further.”
SEEDS AND PLANTS
For example, great king, when the different varieties of seed-life
and plant-life are placed in the earth, in due course they will attain
increase, growth, development, and will yield flowers and fruits.
But these plants do not come out of things that did not exist.
Only out of things that existed do they come.
“Precisely so, great king, there are not any things that exist which
come out of things that did not exist. Only out of things that existed,
great king, come things that exist.”

if the waves on the circle are the homunculus of sensory organs of the brain, then one can imagine that if one concentrates on a point singularity at the peak of a wave one would be “minding one’s own business” one would “have eyes/ears/mouths but as though can see/hear/say no evil” but, beyond the point at the peak of the wave, the wave itself has size and shape or “form” in previous notes … that “arises” from the “average” dashed line circle so to speak … and the size/shape of the wave is cause for “see/hear/say evil” for “not minding one’s own business” for senses/sensibilities and sense organs … one can thus imagine that at first before the wave arises from the “average” there was “minding one’s own business” and “see/hear/say no evil only good/goodness/godliness/God” but as the wave “arises” and assumes size/shape, one begins to “see/hear/say evil” one begins to “not mind one’s own business” one begins to “sense” … perhaps even as one’s sensory organs began to be developed … dahlia die^~m thi two front teeth developed early 3-4 months old … “ca’i ra(ng ca’i to’c la` go’c/go^’c con ngu+o+`i” …

… since “some are born into it; some earn/learn/achieve/love/will/dream/aim/force it; some have it thrust upon”, one can try to manually steer one’s senses to “return” to that primeval state … original genesis state … of “minding one’s own business” of “see/hear/say no evil only good/goodness/godliness/God” … e.g. by focusing on a point singularity ignoring [dahlia doing the beyonce walk according to tv’s et … the wisdom of beyond tha^n: tu tha^n te^` gia tri. quo^’c bi`nh thie^n ha. dda.t ca’i TAO: it might be that any focus any point singularity will do but the best focus or point singularity is “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long”] the size and shape … the “form” and “tha^n” … “… of one’s own wave …

Đã mang lấy nghiệp vào thân, ………………. but upon giving “it” some thought [after all ” it” takes up size/volume and therefore time] thinking it through perhaps by focusing upon a point singularity for example by focusing upon “muo^n loa`i ddu+o+.c bi`nh thu+o+`ng so^’ng la^u; everyone live well and long” or other similar point singularities [point singularity = uniqueness = “kho^ng ddo^.i tro+`i chung”: here the size and shape and “form” of one’s “tha^n” or “wave” is the Creator/God of one’s senses/sensibilities and therefore of one’s “notions” as explained in previous notes:

Cỗi nguồn cũng ở lòng người mà ra.
Có trời mà cũng tại ta,
Tu là cõi phúc tình là dây oan. … where “tu” ~ “focusing” ~ “mind one’s own business” manual or otherwise …
] of zero size/volume so as to ignore the size and volume and “form” of one’s “tha^n” … tu tha^n te^` gia tri. quo^’c bi`nh thie^n ha. dda.t ca’i TAO … one might very well achieve a return to the primeval state to the original genesis creation state of “minding one’s own business” and thus realizing then that one was created “in the image” of the Creator/God afterall … thie^.n ca(n o+? ta.i lo`ng ta chu+~ ta^m kia mo+’i ba(`ng ba chu+~ ta`i … yes one can keep one’s humbleness and therefore stability even when one has realized “ddo^.,i tro+`i chung” …was created “in the image” of God … 3250.

Nghe [as though] tình đang chết trong tôi …. don’t misunderstood this line because it means that everything is “well” and “living well” because “wellness” is not “returning” or “lo ve^`” ~ “love” but “wellness” is “staying” as the following line explains “Nhắm mắt ôi sao nửa hồn bỗng thương đau” that is you “thương đau” or “feel pity or feel love for those who are not yet ‘well'” that is the nature of “vacuum fluctuations” [“tunneling”] or unconclusiveness namely you don’t love but you do love and anyway neither you nor anyone have the senses/sensibilities to know one way or another don’t or do …
Cho lòng tiếc nuối xót thương suốt đờ
Nhắm mắt ôi sao nửa hồn bỗng thương đau
Ôi sao ngàn trùng mãi xa nhau
Hay ta còn hẹn nhau kiếp nào
Anh ở đâu? Em ở đâu?
Có chăng mưa sầu buồn đen mắt sâu
Nhắm mắt chỉ thấy một chân trời tím ngắt
Chỉ thấy lòng nhớ nhung chất ngất
Và tiếng hát và nước mắt
Đôi khi em muốn tin
Đôi khi em muốn tin
Ôi những người ôi những người
Khóc lẻ loi một mình” again when you are “well” you are all alone but your loneliness is in the nature of “nothingness” or “in-betweens” so that “vacuum fluctuations” might create the illusion of you don’t cry but you do cry and at any rate no one else would know since you are alone whether one way or another if you do or don’t
