But there’s a danger in loving somebody to much,
and it’s bad when you know it’s your heart you can’t trust.
There’s a reason why people don’t stay where they are.
Baby, sometimes love just ain’t enough.
Now, I could never change you,
I don’t want to blame you.
Baby, you don’t have to take the fall

timelessness is “you’re ok/well; i’m ok/well” “muôn loài được bình thường sống lâu; everyone live well and long” …

I took my love, and I took it down
I climbed a mountain, and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
‘Til the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin’ ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mm I don’t know, no uh uh I don’t know
Well, I’ve been afraid of changin’
‘Cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
And I’m getting older too, oh yes
I’m getting older too

This song is about a father-daughter relationship. Stevie wrote it on the guitar in about five minutes in Aspen, Colorado. She was surrounded by mountains and thinking, “Wow, all this snow could just come tumbling down around me and there is nothing I can do about it.” When she feels like this she just goes to a room and writes her thoughts down so she can read it and ponder what she has written.
Nicks said of this song: “My dad did have something to do with it, but he absolutely thinks that he was the whole complete reason it was ever written. I guess it was about September 1974, I was home at my dad and Mom’s house in Phoenix, and my father said, ‘You know, you really put a lot of time into this [her singing career], maybe you should give this six more months, and if you want to go back to school, we’ll pay for it. Basically you can do whatever you want and we’ll pay for it – I have wonderful parents, and I went, ‘cool, I can do that.’ Lindsey and I went up to Aspen, and we went to somebody’s incredible house, and they had a piano, and I had my guitar with me, and I went into their living room, looking out over the incredible Aspen skyway, and I wrote ‘Landslide.’ Three months later, Mick Fleetwood called. On New Year’s Eve, 1974, called and asked us to join Fleetwood Mac. So it was three months, I still had three more months to go to beat my six month goal that my dad gave me.”

Lindsey and Stevie were recording as a duo using the name Buckingham-Nicks before they were asked to join Fleetwood Mac. They had already released an album and were planning to include this on their next one. When Stevie wrote “Landslide” and “Rhiannon,” Lindsey was on the road with the Everly Brothers backing them up on guitar.
Reflecting on this song in 2014, Nicks told the New York Times: “I wrote ‘Landslide’ in 1973, when I was 27, and I did already feel old in a lot of ways. I’d been working as a waitress and a cleaning lady for years. I was tired.”

truyen-co-tich-truyen-chum-vang-chum-ran from http://truyencotich.biz/truyen-co-tich-viet-nam/truyen-co-tich-truyen-chum-vang-chum-ran.html Tôi rất thích nhạc cảnh Thằng Bờm, vì tôi đem được vào màn ca vũ đó một ý nghĩa hơi khác với quan niệm của mọi người. Đó là sự trao đổi giữa một người giầu có nhưng không an nhàn với một chú bé an nhàn nhưng không đủ ăn. Khi Thằng Bờm và Phó Ông biết chia cho nhau cái có của mình, trao đổi cho nhau hạnh phúc thì cả hai đều sung sướng. Nhạc cảnh này được một nữ vũ sư người Mỹ dàn cảnh với những vũ sinh đóng vai trâu, bò, chim, cá và gỗ lim cùng múa hát với Thằng Bờm và Phú Ông. Với Trung Tâm THẾ GIỚI NGHỆ THUẬT, tôi có những nhạc cảnh như Truyện Tình Sơn Nữ, Chum Vàng, Mài Dao Dạy Vợ. Nhạc cảnh Chum Vàng cũng giống như nhạc cảnh Thằng Bờm, là một chuyện cổ tích bình dân do tôi phóng tác. …Có một đôi vợ chồng nghèo, làm nghề nông, suốt đời vất vả, lam lũ. Một hôm, chồng ra ruộng khoai (hay ruộng lúa), đang (cầy sâu hay) cuốc bẫm thì đào được một cái chum. Mở nắp chum ra, thấy chum đựng đầy vàng bạc châu báu. Người chồng bèn đậy nắp chum lại rồi để chum bên bờ ruộng. Về nhà khoe vợ là mình đào được cái chum vàng. Vợ hỏi : – Của trời cho, sao không khiêng chum vàng về ? Để đó, người ta khiêng đi còn gì ? Chồng đáp : – Nếu thật sự là của trời cho, thì tự nhiên chum vàng sẽ về nhà, chẳng đứa nào lấy được ! Đang lúc vợ chồng trò chuyện thì có hai thằng kẻ trộm ngồi rình ở ngoài cửa (hay dưới gầm giường), chúng nó nghe hết cả. Hai thằng chạy ra bờ ruộng thì quả nhiên thấy cái chum nằm đó. Chúng vội vàng khiêng cái chum về nhà và khi mở nắp chum ra thì chẳng thấy vàng bạc đâu cả, chỉ thấy trong chum toàn là rắn, rết ! Chúng sợ quá đem chum giấu ở một nơi. Sáng hôm sau, người chồng ra ruộng thì thấy mất cái chum. Khi về nhà, vợ hỏi : – Chum đâu ? Chồng đáp : – Trời lấy lại chum vàng rồi ! Hai kẻ trộm lại đã ngồi rình và nghe nói vậy, chúng bực quá, chạy đi khiêng cái chum đặt lại chỗ cũ, cho vợ chồng này sẽ bị rắn cắn. Hôm sau, chồng ra ruộng lại thấy cái chum, về nhà khoe vợ : – Trời cho lại cái chum vàng rồi. Vợ bảo : -Thế sao không khiêng về ? Chồng đáp : – Trời đã cho lại cái chum thì chum sẽ về nhà mình cho mà xem. Hai thằng kẻ trộm lại cũng ngồi rình và nghe nói vậy, chúng tức quá chạy đi khiêng cái chum đặt ngay trước sân nhà, cho vợ chồng này chết vì rắn cắn. Sáng hôm sau, vừa mở cửa ra sân thấy cái chum vàng nằm chình ình ngay đó, chồng bảo vợ : – Thấy chưa ? Ta nói có sai đâu ? Trời đã cho thì tự nhiên cái chum vàng sẽ bò về tận nhà mình !

These rights are often referred to as Miranda rights. The purpose of such notification is to preserve the admissibility of their statements made during custodial interrogation in later criminal proceedings.
A typical Miranda warning can read as follows:[citation needed]
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you by the court. With these rights in mind, are you still willing to talk with me about the charges against you?
The Miranda warning is part of a preventive criminal procedure rule that law enforcement are required to administer to protect an individual who is in custody and subject to direct questioning or its functional equivalent from a violation of his or her Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination.
MIRANDA
There’s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple.

The Sanskrit term Upaniṣad (from upa “by” and ni-ṣad “sit down”)[28] translates to “sitting down near”, referring to the student sitting down near the teacher while receiving spiritual knowledge.[29] Other dictionary meanings include “esoteric doctrine” and “secret doctrine”. Monier-Williams‘ Sanskrit Dictionary notes – “According to native authorities, Upanishad means setting to rest ignorance by revealing the knowledge of the supreme spirit.”[30]
Adi Shankaracharya explains in his commentary on the Kaṭha and Brihadaranyaka Upanishad that the word means Ātmavidyā, that is, “knowledge of the self“, or Brahmavidyā “knowledge of Brahma”. The word appears in the verses of many Upanishads, such as the fourth verse of the 13th volume in first chapter of the Chandogya Upanishad. Max Müller as well as Paul Deussen translate the word Upanishad in these verses as “secret doctrine”,[31][32] Robert Hume translates it as “mystic meaning”,[33] while Patrick Olivelle translates it as “hidden connections”.[34]
The authorship of most Upanishads is uncertain and unknown. Radhakrishnan states, “almost all the early literature of India was anonymous, we do not know the names of the authors of the Upanishads”.[35] The ancient Upanishads are embedded in the Vedas, the oldest of Hinduism’s religious scriptures, which some traditionally consider to be apauruṣeya, which means “not of a man, superhuman”[36] and “impersonal, authorless”.[37][38][39] The Vedic texts assert that they were skillfully created by Rishis (sages), after inspired creativity, just as a carpenter builds a chariot.[40]
The various philosophical theories in the early Upanishads have been attributed to famous sages such as Yajnavalkya, Uddalaka Aruni, Shvetaketu, Shandilya, Aitareya, Balaki, Pippalada, and Sanatkumara.[35][41]Women, such as Maitreyi and Gargi participate in the dialogues and are also credited in the early Upanishads.[42] There are some exceptions to the anonymous tradition of the Upanishads. The Shvetashvatara Upanishad, for example, includes closing credits to sage Shvetashvatara, and he is considered the author of the Upanishad.[43]
Many scholars believe that early Upanishads were interpolated[44] and expanded over time.

Phàm con người ta mới sinh ra đều có cái bản tánh tốt lành. Vì cái tánh lành ấy giống nhau nên giúp họ gần nhau; nhưng khi lớn lên, hòa nhập với xã hội, nhiễm nhiều thói tục ở đời khiến cho tính tình của họ khác đi và thành ra xa nhau. Nếu như con người ta chẳng được giáo dục, dạy dỗ thì tánh lành thuở ban đầu ấy sẽ trở nên thay đổi tùy theo môi trường mà họ tiếp xúc. Về đường lối giáo dục, dạy dỗ con cái thì lấy đức chuyên làm trọng.
Feuerbach [turned the bible “and god created man in His image …” upside down] argued that God is really a creation of man and that the qualities people attribute to God are really qualities of humanity. Accordingly, Marx argued that it is the material world that is real and that our ideas of it are consequences, not causes, of the world. Thus, like Hegel and other philosophers, Marx distinguished between appearances and reality. However, he did not believe that the material world hides from us the real world of the ideal; on the contrary, he thought that historically and socially specific ideology prevented people from seeing the material conditions of their lives clearly.
The Bodhisattva of Compassion,
when he meditated deeply,
saw the emptiness of all five skandhas
and sundered the bonds that caused him suffering.
Here then,
form is no other than emptiness,
emptiness no other than form.
Form is only emptiness,
emptiness only form.
Feeling, thought and choice,
consciousness itself,
are the same as this.
All things are the primal void,
which is not born or destroyed,
nor is it stained or pure,
nor does it wax or wane.
So, in emptiness, no form,
no feeling, thought or choice,
nor is there consciousness.
No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind.
No colour, sound, smell,
taste, touch or what the mind takes hold of,
nor even act of sensing.
No ignorance nor all that comes of it,
no withering, no death,
no end of them.
Nor is there pain, or cause of pain,
or cease in pain,
or noble path to lead from pain,
nor even wisdom to attain.
Attainment too is emptiness!
So know that the Bodhisattva,
holding to nothing whatever
but dwelling in prajna wisdom,
is freed from delusive hindrance,
rid of the fears bred by it,
and reaches clearest Nirvana.
All Buddhas of past and present,
Buddhas of future time,
Using this prajna wisdom
Attain full and perfect enlightenment.
Hear then the great dharani,
the radiant peerless mantra,
the prajnaparamita
whose words allay all pain,
hear and believe its truth!

Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and (seemingly) random motion.
The period of one complete cycle of the dance is 60 seconds. The length of the longest pendulum has been adjusted so that it executes 51 oscillations in this 60 second period. The length of each successive shorter pendulum is carefully adjusted so that it executes one additional oscillation in this period. Thus, the 15th pendulum (shortest) undergoes 65 oscillations.

1491 new revelations about America before Columbus by Charles c mann
some people have suggested that the times were such that the revolutions in france and ina america against england and the subsequent declarations of independence and constitutions have substances that are familiar/similar to the iroquois confederacy constitution …
The Iroquois (/ˈɪrəkwɔɪ/ or /ˈɪrəkwɑː/) or Haudenosaunee (/ˈhoʊdənoʊˈʃoʊni/)[1] (People of the Longhouse) are a historically powerful northeast Native Americanconfederacy. They were known during the colonial years to the French as the Iroquois League, and later as the Iroquois Confederacy, and to the English as the Five Nations, comprising the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca. After 1722, they accepted the Tuscarora people from the Southeast into their confederacy and became known as the Six Nations.
The Iroquois have absorbed many other peoples [like columbus and european immigrant/colonists and other immigrants/refugees from the rest of the world like vietnamese refugees and boat peoples
kink.com public disgrace yoha
] into their tribes as a result of warfare, adoption of captives, and by offering shelter to displaced peoples. Culturally all are considered members of the clans and tribes into which they are adopted by families.
The historic St. Lawrence Iroquoians, Wyandot (Huron), Erie, and Susquehannock, all independent peoples, also spoke Iroquoian languages. In the larger sense of linguistic families, they are often considered Iroquoian peoples because of their similar languages and cultures, all culturally and linguistically descended from the Proto-Iroquoian people and language; however, they were traditionally enemies of the nations in the Iroquois League.[2] In addition, Cherokeeis an Iroquoian language. The Cherokee people are believed to have migrated south from the Great Lakes area in ancient times, settling in the backcountry of the Southeast United States, including what is now Tennessee.
The most common name for the confederacy, Iroquois, is of somewhat obscure origin. The first time it appears in writing is in the account of Samuel de Champlain of his journey to Tadoussac in 1603, where it occurs as “Irocois”.[3] Other spellings appearing in the earliest sources include “Erocoise”, “Hiroquois”, “Hyroquoise”, “Irecoies”, “Iriquois”, “Iroquaes”, “Irroquois”, and “Yroquois”, as the French transliterated the term into their own phonetic system.[4] In the French spoken at the time, this would have been pronounced as [irokwe] or [irokwɛ].[5] Over the years, several competing theories have been proposed for this name’s ultimate origin—the earliest such proposal is by the Jesuit priest Pierre François Xavier de Charlevoix, who wrote in 1744:
The name Iroquois is purely French, and is formed from the [Iroquoian-language] term Hiro or Hero, which means I have said—with which these Indians close all their addresses, as the Latins did of old with their dixi—and of Koué, which is a cry sometimes of sadness, when it is prolonged, and sometimes of joy, when it is pronounced shorter.[6]
…
Formation of the League
Iroquois painting of Tadodaho receiving two Mohawk chiefs
The Iroquois League was established prior to European contact, with the banding together of five of the many Iroquoian peoples who had emerged south of the Great Lakes.[38][a] Reliable sources link the origins of the Iroquois confederacy to 1142 and an agricultural shift when corn was adopted as a staple crop.[39] Many archaeologists and anthropologists believe that the League was formed about 1450.[40][41] Arguments have been made for an earlier date.[note1 1] One theory argues that the League formed shortly after a solar eclipse on August 31, 1142, an event thought to be expressed in oral tradition about the League’s origins.[42][43][44] They subsequently created a highly egalitarian society. One British colonial administrator declared in 1749 that the Iroquois had “such absolute Notions of Liberty that they allow no Kind of Superiority of one over another, and banish all Servitude from their Territories.”[45]
Anthropologist Dean Snow argues that the archaeological evidence does not support a date earlier than 1450. He has said that recent claims for a much earlier date “may be for contemporary political purposes”.[46]:p.231 In contrast, other scholars note that at the time when anthropological studies were made, researchers consulted only male informants, although the Iroquois people had distinct oral traditions held by males and females. Thus half of the historical story, that told by women, was lost.[47] For this reason, origin tales tend to emphasize Deganawidah and Hiawatha, while the role of Jigonsaseh largely remains unknown because this part of the oral history was held by women.[47]
According to oral traditions, the League was formed through the efforts of two men and one woman. They were Dekanawida, sometimes known as the Great Peacemaker, Hiawatha, and Jigonhsasee, known as the Mother of Nations, whose home acted as a sort of United Nations. They brought the Peacemaker’s message, known as the Great Law of Peace, to the squabbling Iroquoian nations, who were fighting, raiding and feuding with one another and other tribes, both Algonkian and Iroquoian. Five nations originally joined as the League, giving rise to the many historic references to Five Nations of the Iroquois[b] or as often, just The Five Nations.[38]With the addition of the southern Tuscarora in the 18th century, these original five tribes are the ones that still compose the Haudenosaunee in the early 21st century: the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca.
Other Iroquoian-language peoples,[48] including the populous Wyandot (Huron), with related social organization and cultures, became extinct as tribes as a result of disease and war.[c] They did not join the League when invited[d] and were much reduced after the Beaver Wars and high mortality from Eurasian infectious diseases. While the First Nations and Native Americans sometimes tried to remain neutral in the various colonial frontier wars, some also allied with one nation or another, through the French and Indian War. The Six Nations were split in their alliances between the French and British in that war, the North American front of the Seven Years’ War. In warfare the tribes were decentralized, and often bands acted independently.
According to legend, an evil Onondaga chieftain named Tadodaho was the last converted to the ways of peace by The Great Peacemaker and Hiawatha. He was offered the position as the titular chair of the League’s Council, representing the unity of all nations of the League.[49] This is said to have occurred at Onondaga Lakenear present-day Syracuse, New York. The title Tadodaho is still used for the League’s chair, the fiftieth chief who sits with the Onondaga in council.
With the formation of the League, internal conflicts were minimized. The council of fifty thereafter ruled on disputes, seeking consensus in their decisions.[38] Raids within the member tribes ended, and they directed warfare against competitors. This allowed the Iroquois to increase in numbers while their rivals declined.[38] The political cohesion of the Iroquois rapidly became one of the strongest forces in 17th- and 18th-century northeastern North America. The confederacy did not speak for all five tribes, which continued to act independently. But about 1678,[38] the council exerted more power in negotiations with the colonial governments of Pennsylvania and New York.[38] Thereafter, the editors of American Heritage write the Iroquois became very adroit at playing the French off against the British,[38] as individual tribes had played the Swedes, Dutch, and English.[38] The editors of American Heritage magazine suggest the Iroquois spokesmen were as politically sophisticated as many a modern politician.[38]
As has been noted above, other Iroquoian-language peoples were encountered by early European colonists. While the tribes raided each other, they also traded with the members of the Iroquois who were nearby.[38] The explorer Robert La Salle in the 17th century identified the Mosopelea as among the Ohio Valley peoples defeated by the Iroquois in the early 1670s.[50] The Erie and peoples of the upper Allegheny valley declined earlier during the Beaver Wars. By 1676 the Susquehannock[e] were known to be broken as a power from the effects of three years of epidemic disease, war with the Iroquois, and frontier battles, as settlers took advantage of the weakened tribe.[38]
According to one theory of early Iroquois history, after becoming united in the League, the Iroquois invaded the Ohio River Valley in the territories that would become the eastern Ohio Country down as far as present-day Kentucky to seek additional hunting grounds. They displaced about 1200 Siouan-speaking tribepeople of the Ohio River valley, such as the Quapaw (Akansea), Ofo (Mosopelea), and Tutelo and other closely related tribes out of the region. These tribes migrated to regions around the Mississippi River and the piedmont regions of the east coast.[51]

Recognizable for its crack, the Liberty Bell remains significant today for its message of liberty. NPS photo The Liberty Bell bears a timeless message: “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof” Go beyond the iconic crack to learn how this State House bell was transformed into an extraordinary symbol. Abolitionists, women’s suffrage advocates and Civil Rights leaders took inspiration from the inscription on this bell. Plan your visit to the Liberty Bell Center to allow time to view the exhibits, see the film, and gaze upon the famous cracked bell. No tickets are required and hours vary seasonally. From Signal to Symbol The State House bell, now known as the Liberty Bell, rang in the tower of the Pennsylvania State House. Today, we call that building Independence Hall. Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly Isaac Norris first ordered a bell for the bell tower in 1751 from the Whitechapel Foundry in London. That bell cracked on the first test ring. Local metalworkers John Pass and John Stow melted down that bell and cast a new one right here in Philadelphia. It’s this bell that would ring to call lawmakers to their meetings and the townspeople together to hear the reading of the news. Benjamin Franklin wrote to Catherine Ray in 1755, “Adieu, the Bell rings, and I must go among the Grave ones and talk Politicks.” It’s not until the 1830’s that the old State House bell would begin to take on significance as a symbol of liberty. Listen to the story of the Liberty Bell in this audio podcast. The Crack No one recorded when or why the Liberty Bell first cracked, but the most likely explanation is that a narrow split developed in the early 1840’s after nearly 90 years of hard use. In 1846, when the city decided to repair the bell prior to George Washington’s birthday holiday (February 23), metal workers widened the thin crack to prevent its farther spread and restore the tone of the bell using a technique called “stop drilling”. The wide “crack” in the Liberty Bell is actually the repair job! Look carefully and you’ll see over 40 drill bit marks in that wide “crack”. But, the repair was not successful. The Public Ledger newspaper reported that the repair failed when another fissure developed. This second crack, running from the abbreviation for “Philadelphia” up through the word “Liberty”, silenced the bell forever. No one living today has heard the bell ring freely with its clapper, but computer modeling provides some clues into the sound of the Liberty Bell. The Inscription The Liberty Bell’s inscription is from Leviticus 25:10: “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof.” This Old Testament verse refers to the “Jubilee”, or the instructions to the Israelites to return property and free slaves every 50 years. Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly Isaac Norris chose this inscription for the State House bell in 1751, possibly to commemorate the 50th anniversary of William Penn’s 1701 Charter of Privileges which granted religious liberties and political self-government to the people of Pennsylvania. The inscription of liberty on the State House bell (now known as the Liberty Bell) went unnoticed during the Revolutionary War. After the war, abolitionists seeking to end slavery in America were inspired by the bell’s message. The Meaning The State House bell became a herald of liberty in the 19th century. “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof,” the bell’s inscription, provided a rallying cry for abolitionists wishing to end slavery. The Anti-Slavery Record, an abolitionist publication, first referred to the bell as the Liberty Bell in 1835, but that name was not widely adopted until years later. Millions of Americans became familiar with the bell in popular culture through George Lippard’s 1847 fictional story “Ring, Grandfather, Ring”, when the bell came to symbolize pride in a new nation. Beginning in the late 1800s, the Liberty Bell traveled across the country for display at expositions and fairs, stopping in towns small and large along the way. For a nation recovering from wounds of the Civil War, the bell served to remind Americans of a time when they fought together for independence. Movements from Women’s Suffrage to Civil Rights embraced the Liberty Bell for both protest and celebration. Pennsylvania suffragists commissioned a replica of the Liberty Bell. Their “Justice Bell” traveled across Pennsylvania in 1915 to encourage support for women’s voting rights legislation. It then sat chained in silence until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Now a worldwide symbol, the bell’s message of liberty remains just as relevant and powerful today: “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof” Bell Facts The two lines of text around the top of the bell include the inscription of liberty, and information about who ordered the bell (Pennsylvania Assembly) and why (to go in their State House): Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof Lev. XXV X By Order of the ASSEMBLY of the Province of PENSYLVANIA [sic] for the State House in Philada The information on the face of the bell tells us who cast the bell (John Pass and John Stow), where (Philadelphia) and when (1753): Pass and Stow Philada MDCCLIII The bell weighed 2,080 lbs. at order. It is made of bronze. It’s 70% copper, 25% tin and contains small amounts of lead, gold, arsenic, silver, and zinc. The bell’s wooden yoke is American elm, but there is no proof that it is the original yoke for this bell. While there is evidence that the bell rang to mark the Stamp Act tax and its repeal, there is no evidence that the bell rang on July 4 or 8, 1776.Tradition attributes the start of bell production in Valday to the crash of the veche Novgorod bell there at the end of the XV century. According to the legend famous yamschitsky Valday bells were born of its chips… …In 1478 the veche Novgorod bell, that used to summon the city assembly (or veche), was ordered to be taken from the Sofia belfry and sent to Moscow by Tsar Ivan the Third so that it sounded in harmony with all Russian bells and did not preach freedom any more. But the Novgorod bell never reached the capital. On one of the slopes of the Valday hills the sledge, which was carrying a bell, rolled down and the frightened horses raced at a gallop, the bell fell from the cart, and having fallen into a ravine, shattered. Countless pieces turned into small bells. Local residents picked them and began to cast their own bells in its model, carrying the glory of Novgorod freemen around the world… Another popular belief (and there are many) refers the beginning of a bell cast in Valday to the XVII century. In 1656 the Sovereign’s master Alexander Grigoriev molded Nikon bell in Iversky Monastery. The rest of the cast bronze the master gave to the citizens, who had helped him. Since then, they say, the bells have been cast in Valday… Yamschitsky bells were necessary in the main, very busy road of Russia — Moscow – Petersburg tract. The center of their production originated in Valday, that was located in the middle of the way. Local craftsmen had long been famous for blacksmith products – in the smithy they began to cast first Valday bells. Valday is generally recognized to be the first center of casting of yamschitsky bells. The technology of their production differs from casting of church bells and was first developed in Russia, thus a yamschitsky bell (and especially the Valday one) is exclusively Russian, national phenomenon. Slobodskoy of Vyatka province, the city of Tyumen, Kasimov of Ryazan province, Purekh village of Nizhny Novgorod province and other cities began to cast yamschitsky bells by the example of Valday. Yamschitsky bell was a signaling tool, that determined the safety of movement, as well as a musical instrument, that accompanied the singing of the driver. The bell ordained the rhythm of movement of horses, hurrying them up or giving the opportunity to rest in a measured step. The bell informed about a forthcoming carriage and performed another set of functions, which brightened the difficult travel conditions of Russian roads. Over the years the Valday bell workshops turned into plants, but after the October Revolution they ceased to exist. As time passed people kept believing that they could have a Valday bell made from a chip of the veche Novgorod bell, and its fragments scattered under the Valday hills were enough for everyone, its glory and power was enough for everyone. Nowadays the Gift of Valday – Valday bells – are produced at the Novgorod plant of metalwork Olevs in memory of the ancient Novgorod land and the legendary veche bell.

Bronzes (simplified Chinese: 青铜器; traditional Chinese: 青銅器; pinyin: qīng tóng qì; Wade–Giles: ch’ing t’ong ch’i) are some of the most important pieces of ancient Chinese art, warranting an entire separate catalogue in the Imperial art collections. The Chinese Bronze Age began in the Xia Dynasty (ca. 2070 – ca. 1600 BC), and bronze ritual containers form the bulk of collections of Chinese antiquities, reaching its zenith during the Shang Dynasty (1600–1046 BC) and the early part of the Zhou Dynasty (1045–256 BC).
The majority of surviving Chinese ancient bronze artefacts are ritual forms rather than their equivalents made for practical use, either as tools or weapons. Weapons like daggers and axes had a sacrificial meaning, symbolizing the heavenly power of the ruler. The strong religious associations of bronze objects brought up a great number of vessel types and shapes which became regarded as classic and totemic and were copied, often in other media such as Chinese porcelain, throughout subsequent periods of Chinese art.
The ritual books of old China minutely describe who was allowed to use what kinds of sacrificial vessels and how much. The king of Zhou used 9 dings and 8 gui vessels, a duke was allowed to use 7 dings and 6 guis, a baron could use 5 dings and 3 guis, a nobleman was allowed to use 3 dings and 2 guis. Turning to actual archaeological finds, the tomb of Fu Hao, an unusually powerful Shang queen, contained her set of ritual vessels, numbering over two hundred, which are also far larger than the twenty-four vessels in the tomb of a contemporary nobleman. Her higher status would have been clear not only to her contemporaries, but also, it was believed, to her ancestors and other spirits.[5]Many of the pieces were cast with inscriptions using the posthumous form of her name, indicating there were made especially for burial in the tomb.[6]
Metallurgy and origin
The origin of the ores or metals use for Shang and other early chinese bronze is a current (2018) topic of research. As with other early civilisations (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Indus) the Shang period development was centered on river valleys, and driven in part by the introduction of intensive agriculture – in China such areas lacked ore deposits and required the import of metallurgical material. Typical Shang period bronzes contain over 2% lead, unlike contemporary coppers of the Eurasian Steppe. Analysis of the ore/metals origins has been based on lead content and trace isotope analysis.[7] In the case of Shang period bronzes, various sites, from early to late Shang period, numerous samples of the bronze alloy are characterized by high radiogenicLead isotope content (derived from both uranium and thorium decay), unlike most known native Chinese lead ores. Potential speculative sources of the ore include Qinling, middle to lower Yangtze area, and south-west china; the possibility that ore or metal was imported from Africa in this period has been proposed, based on potential isotopic matches, but challenged and rejected by other researchers. Pre-Shang (Erlitou culture) bronzes do not contain the radiogenic lead isotopes.[7]
Classification of pieces in the Imperial collection
The appreciation, creation and collection of Chinese bronzes as pieces of art and not as ritual items began in the Song dynasty and reached its zenith in the Qing dynasty during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, whose massive collection is recorded in the catalogues known as the Xiqing gujian (西清古鑑) and the Xiqing jijian (西清繼鑑). Within those two catalogues, the bronzeware is categorized according to use:
Sacrificial vessels (祭器, jìqì),
Wine vessels (酒器, jiǔqì),
Food vessels (食器, shíqì),
Water vessels (水器, shuǐqì),
Musical instruments (樂器, yuèqì),
Weapons (兵器, bīngqì),
Measuring containers (量器, liángqì),
Ancient money (錢幣, qiánbì), and
Miscellaneous (雜器, záqì).
The most highly prized are generally the sacrificial and wine vessels, which form the majority of most collections. Often these vessels are elaborately decorated with taotie designs.
Sacrificial vessels
Dǐng (鼎) Sacrificial vessel (祭器), originally a cauldron for cooking and storing meat (食器). The Shang prototype has a round bowl, wider than it is tall, set on three legs (足); there are two short handles on each side (耳). Later examples became larger and larger and were considered a measure of power. It is considered the single most important class of Chinese bronzeware in terms of its cultural importance. There is a variation called a fāngdǐng (方鼎) which has a square bowl and four legs at each corner. There exist rare forms with lids. 西清古鑒 contains over two hundred examples, and this is the most highly regarded of all Chinese bronzes.
Dòu (豆): Sacrificial vessel (祭器) that was originally a food vessel. Flat, covered bowl on a long stem.
Fǔ (簠): Rectangular dish, triangular in vertical cross-section. Always with a lid shaped like the dish.
Zūn (尊 or 樽 or 鐏): Wine vessel and sacrificial vessel (器為盛酒亦祭用也). Tall cylindrical wine cup, with no handles or legs. The mouth is usually slightly broader than the body. In the late Zhōu (周) dynasty, this type of vessel became exceedingly elaborate, often taking the shape of animals and abandoning the traditional shape. These later types are distinguished from gōng (觥) by retaining a small, roughly circular mouth. This type of vessel forms the second largest group of objects in the Xiqing gujian, after the dǐng (鼎).
Zǔ (俎): Flat rectangular platform with square legs at each corner. Not represented in the Xiqing gujian.
Yí (彝): Sacrificial vessel. Two forms: A. Large squat round pot with two handles; B. Tall box-like container, the base narrower than the mouth with a roof-like lid. Later became a generic name for all sacrificial vessels.
Later zun in the shape of an ox
Wine vessels
Gōng (觥, not pronounced guāng): Wine vessel often elongated and carved in the shape of an animal. There is always a cover and the mouth of the vessel usually covers the length of the vessel. This is not a classification used in the Xiqing gujian; objects of this type are classed under 匜 (Yi (vessel)).
Gū (觚): Tall wine cup with no handles, the mouth larger than its base.
Hé (盉): A wine vessel shaped like a tea pot with three legs. It has a handle (pàn 鋬) and a straight spout that points diagonally upwards.

Jué (角, not pronounced jiǎo): A wine cup similar to a 爵, except the spout and brim extension are identical and there is a cover.
Jué (爵): A wine cup with three legs, a spout (流) with a pointed brim extension (尾) diametrically opposite, plus a handle (鋬).
Léi (罍): Vessel for wine with a round body, a neck, a cover and a handle on either side of the mouth.
Lì (鬲): Cauldron with three legs. Similar to a dǐng (鼎) except the legs blend into the body or have large swellings on top.
Zhī (卮/巵/梔): Wine vessel, and also a measuring container. Like a píng(瓶), except shorter and broader.
Zhōng (鍾): A wine vessel with no handles.
Zun (尊/樽/鐏): Wine vessel and sacrificial vessel (器為盛酒亦祭用也). Tall cylindrical wine cup, with no handles or legs. The mouth is usually slightly broader than the body. In the late Zhou Dynasty, this type of vessel became exceedingly elaborate, often taking the shape of animals and abandoning the traditional shape. These later types are distinguished from gōng (觥) by retaining a small, roughly circular mouth. This type of vessel forms the second largest group of objects in the Xiqing gujian, after the dǐng (鼎).
Food vessels
Covered Food Container (dou), 6th Century B.C.[9] The Walters Art Museum.
Duì (敦, not pronounced dūn): Spherical dish with a cover to protect its contents from dust and other contaminants.

Pǒu (瓿, pronounced bù in China): A small bronze wèng (甕).
Wèng (瓮 or 甕): Round mouthed, round bellied jar with no foot for holding water or wine. Now commonly used to hold ashes.

Musical instruments
Bó (鈸): Cymbals. Not represented in the Xiqing gujian. See náo (鐃).
Gǔ (鼓): A drum.

Yuán (圓): Also called yuánbì (圓幣), yuánbǎo (元寶), or yuánqián (元錢). Circular coins with a hole in the middle, usually made of copper or bronze; what most Westerners think of as ‘Chinese money’. Also see fúyìnqián (符印錢).
Miscellaneous
Biǎozuò (表座) Cylindrical container with added animal motif. There are only three examples in the Xiqing gujian.
Jiàn (鑑 or 鑒): Refers to two different objects: either a tall, broad bronze dish for water, or a circular bronze mirror, usually with intricate ornamentation on the back. The modern meaning is a mirror.
Jué (钁): Farming implement shaped like a pickaxe, but used as a hoe. 西清古鑑 contains only two examples; the rubric states: 按說文大鉏也又博雅斫謂之钁 “According to the Shouwen [an ancient Chinese dictionary] it is a large hoe, that is called a jué by the learned.” Only the bronze heads of the two examples survive, because the wooden handles have long rotted away.
Lú (鑪): A brazier. These are a nebulously classified group of bronze vessels and there are a number of forms: A. It may similar to a dǐng (鼎) with very short legs sitting on a pán (盤); or B., a duì (敦) on a pán (盤); or C., like a dòu (豆) on a pán (盤).

Xǔ (盨): A vessel with two ears and lid, serving as a food container (may not appear in the “Imperial Collection”).
The taotie pattern, the most popular bronze ware decorative design in the Shang and dynasties, was named by scholars of the Song dynasty (960-1279) according to records in literature of the Warring States period of Master Lu’s Spring and Autumn Annals.
The typical taotie pattern is a full-face round-eyed animal head, with sharp teeth and horns. In all of these patterns, the eyes are always the focus. The huge eyes leave an awesome impression on viewers even from a distance. The taotie pattern features rich variations from one bronze ware pieces to another because one ceramic mold could only cast one bronze work in the early days of casting. The most obvious difference between taotie patterns are the horns, some have ox horns, some sheep horns, and some have tiger’s ears. People can distinguish the animal origin from the different image.

http://www.socketsite.com/archives/2018/03/plans-for-the-armory-in-san-francisco-revealed.html While the developer who recently paid $65 million for the landmark San Francisco Armory in the Mission has ties to the Soho House chain of private clubs and hotels, the zoning of the parcel upon which the Armory sits (Urban Mixed Use) would have to be changed to allow for its conversion into a hotel. In addition, while the Armory’s 40,000-square-foot drill court has been legally converted to allow for its use as a nighttime entertainment venue, the remainder of the 178,000-square-foot Armory complex, which includes a 54,000-square-foot basement level, remains classified as Production, Distribution and Repair (PDR) space. And while San Francisco’s Proposition X, which was adopted by voters in 2016, generally prohibits the outright demolition or conversion of large-scale PDR space in the Mission, there is a grandfather clause for the Armory, for which an office conversion was already being explored and which would allow up to 60 percent of its PDR space to be converted to another conforming use. As such, the Armory’s new owners are quietly pushing forward with plans to convert 49,999 square feet of PDR space across the Armory’s existing second, third and fourth floors, which currently total 58,560 square feet, into upscale offices while preserving 25,210 square feet of PDR space on the Armory’s ground floor, 53,500 square feet of PDR space in the basement, and the existing drill court’s use as an entertainment venue, at least in the near-term.

Leans on Heaven
Jamie and Claire rescue Jamie’s drunken associate, Mr. Willoughby, from a tavern. He has apparently annoyed a prostitute. Jamie pays her for her trouble, then introduces Claire as his wife. He entreats Mr. Willoughby to entertain Claire while he’s doing his business, and the little man obliges.
Meanwhile, Jamie is meeting with the tavern owner, who is trying to gouge him for more money. Jamie isn’t having it. Jamie comes to retrieve Claire. By this time, it’s night.
Mr. Willoughby.
“It’s not much, but it’s convenient.”
Jamie brings Claire “home”, which is really Madame Jeanne’s brothel. Claire is more than a bit taken aback, but none so much as the Madame, when he introduces Claire as his wife. Now Jamie must explain to a horrified Claire why he lives in a brothel. Jeanne keeps a room for Jamie, as one of his best customers – because it’s warm and convenient for him – he can rest or eat at any hour, regardless of where he’s been. Claire seems to buy it, but Jamie’s tone turns serious. “Sassenach, why have you come back?” She’s incredulous, but he presses the issue. “Have you come back to be my wife, again?” She hedges again. He points out that the two know each other less than they did when they were first married. He makes it extremely clear that he wants her – has ALWAYS wanted her. “But I must know. Do you want me?” A thousand times yes, Jamie!
If Claire doesn’t want him, I volunteer as tribute.
“Bloody well say something!”
Jamie and Claire sit down over dinner and wine and get to know one another once more. Finally, it is time for bed. The two slowly undress each other, savoring the moment. Jamie can’t resist helping her with his pants. He’s been eager to get out of them ever since he saw her! Jamie gets Claire undressed and simply looks at her for a long moment. She blushes and crosses her arms in front of herself. “Christ, Claire,” Jamie breathes. “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
Claire gets shy.
“Do it now, and don’t be gentle!”
The two get to know one another again in the biblical sense, and it’s sexy, funny, awkward, urgent, and sweet. “Is that how you felt, the first time?” Claire asks. “It has always been forever for me,” Jamie replies.

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
But now it’s just another show
You leave ’em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away
I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

Verse 227: It is not new, O Atula! It has always been done from ancient times. They blame one who is silent, they blame one who speaks much, they blame one who speaks little. There is no one in this world who is not blamed.
Verse 228: There never has been, there never will be, nor is there now, anyone who is always blamed or always praised.
Verses 229 – 230: If the wise praise him day after day, knowing him to be truly faultless, wise and endowed with knowledge and virtue, who would blame him, who is like a nikkha of pure gold? The devas praise him; he is praised even by the great Brahmas.
1. nikkham jambonadasseva: like a nikkha of jambonada gold. Jambonada gold which comes from Jambu river is the finest gold. A nikkha can be a weight-unit of gold, an ornament or a coin.
The Story of Atula the Lay-disciple
While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verses (227) to (230) of this book, with reference to Atula and his companions.
Once, Atula and his companions numbering five hundred, wishing to listen to words of dhamma, went to Thera Revata. The thera however was very aloof like a lion; he did not say anything to them. They were very much dissatisfied and so they went to Thera Sariputta. When Thera Sariputta learned why they had come, he expounded exhaustively on the Abhidhamma. He also was not to their liking, and they grumbled that Thera Sariputta had been too lengthy and too profound. Next, Atula and his party approached Thera Ananda. Thera Ananda expounded to them the bare essentials of the Dhamma. This time, they remarked that Thera Ananda had been too brief and too sketchy. Finally they came to the Buddha and said to him, “Venerable Sir, we have come to listen to your teaching. We have been to other teachers before we come here, but we are not satisfied with any of them. Thera Revata did not bother to teach us and he just kept silent; Thera Sariputta was too exhaustive and the Dhamma he taught us was too difficult for us. As for Thera Ananda, he was too brief and too sketchy. We do not like any of their discourses.”
To them the Buddha said, “My disciples, blaming others is not something new. There is no one in this world who is never blamed; people would blame even a king, or even a Buddha. To be blamed or to be praised by a fool is of no consequence; one is truly blamed only when he is blamed by a wise man, and truly praised only when praised by a wise man.”
Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Verse 227: It is not new, O Atula! It has always been done from ancient times. They blame one who is silent, they blame one who speaks much, they blame one who speaks little. There is no one in this world who is not blamed.
Verse 228: There never has been, there never will be, nor is there now, anyone who is always blamed or always praised.
Verses 229 – 230: If the wise praise him day after day, knowing him to be truly faultless, wise and endowed with knowledge and virtue, who would blame him, who is like a nikkha of pure gold? The devas praise him; he is praised even by the great Brahmas.
At the end of the discourse Atula and his companions attained Sotapatti Fruition.

The work of a Hollywood science advisor can be hard to spot. Rather than shoving science in the audience’s faces, it’s their job to make the world of a movie or TV show feel believable, from the physics of fight scenes to the theories that characters scrawl on the blackboard.
Science advisors are usually regular scientists working in fields like physics, astronomy, and chemistry; the main thing that often sets them apart from their peers is a passion for film and TV. Whether they’re meeting with actors, checking equations, or shaping plot points, here are some of the ways they contribute to your favorite pieces of pop culture.

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn’t hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger…watch it grin.
suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied ‘oh why ask me?’
suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
…and you can do the same thing if you please……

For the American veterans’ NPO, see Swords to Plowshares. Swords to ploughshares (or Swords to plowshares) is a concept in which military weapons or technologies are converted for peaceful civilian applications. The phrase originates from the Book of Isaiah: And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.—Isaiah 2:3–4 The ploughshare (Hebrew: אֵת ’êṯ, also translated coulter) is often used to symbolize creative tools that benefit humankind, as opposed to destructive tools of war, symbolized by the sword (Hebrew: חֶרֶב ḥereḇ), a similar sharp metal tool with an arguably opposite use. In addition to the original Biblical Messianic intent, the expression “beat swords into ploughshares” has been used by disparate social and political groups. An ongoing example as of 2013 is the dismantling of nuclear weapons and the use of their contents as fuel in civilian electric power stations, the Megatons to Megawatts Program. Nuclear fission development, originally accelerated for World War II weapons needs, has been applied to many civilian purposes since its use at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including electricity and radiopharmaceutical production. Biblical references This analogy is used several times in the Old Testament or Tanakh, in both directions, such as in the following verses: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. An expression of this concept can be seen in a bronze statue in the United Nations garden called Let Us Beat Swords into Plowshares, a gift from the Soviet Union sculpted by Evgeniy Vuchetich, representing the figure of a man hammering a sword into the shape of a plowshare. Practical applications After World War II, military surplus AFVs were sometimes converted into bulldozers, agricultural, and logging tractors, as seen in the American television series Axe Men.[1] Two are currently preserved at the Swords and Ploughshares Museum in Canada.[2][3] French farmers sometimes used modified versions of the obsolete FT-17 tank, and similar vehicles, based on the T-34 tank, remain in widespread use in the former USSR.[4] Robert Crawford, a British agricultural engineer and collector of classic tractors, owns a Sherman tank that was adapted to plow Lincolnshire’s fields in response to the shortage of crawler tractors.[5] From the 1970s onwards, several anti-war musicians play guitars made from military surplus weapons. Jamaican reggae star Pete Tosh famously owned a Stratocaster built around an M-16 rifle.[6] In the present day the Escopetarra, a guitar converted from the AK-47, is the signature instrument of César López, Souriya Sunshine and Sami Lopakka of the Finnish death metal band Sentenced.[7] Nitrogen mustard, developed from the chemical weapon mustard gas developed in World War I,[8] became the basis for the world’s first chemotherapy drug, mustine, developed through the 1940s.[9] Swedish aid organization IM Swedish Development Partner launched Humanium Metal, using metal from illegal handguns to create everyday objects. First product announced was headphones by Yevo.[10] In political and popular culture Twelve term US Congressman and three time presidential candidate Ron Paul wrote a book entitled Swords into Plowshares: A Life in Wartime and a Future of Peace and Prosperity, in which he discusses growing up during World War II and living his life through war after war.[11] In his farewell address, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower, when speaking about the military-industrial complex stated: Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations. For his first and second inaugurations, U.S. President Richard Nixon took the oath of office with his hand on two family Bibles, opened to Isaiah 2:2-4.[12][13][14] In their speeches at the signing of the 1979 Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty, Jimmy Carter, Anwar Sadat, and Menachem Begin all referenced the saying in calling for peace.[15] In Ronald Reagan’s Address to the 42nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, New York.[16] Cannot swords be turned to plowshares? Can we and all nations not live in peace? In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences world-wide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien than war and the threat of war? The popular anti-war song “The Vine and Fig Tree” repeats the verse[17] And everyone neath their vine and fig tree shall live in peace and unafraid, Everyone neath their vine and fig tree shall live in peace and unafraid. And into ploughshares beat their swords Nations shall learn war no more. And into ploughshares beat their swords Nations shall learn war no more. The song “The End of the Innocence” by Don Henley (1989) uses the Joel inverted version of the phrase: O’ beautiful, for spacious skies But now those skies are threatening They’re beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king “Heal the World” by Michael Jackson (1991): Create a world with no fear Together we’ll cry happy tears See the nations turn Their swords into plowshares Finale of the musical Les Misérables: They will live again in freedom In the garden of the Lord. They will walk behind the ploughshare, They will put away the sword. The chain will be broken And all men will have their reward. A poem by Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai: Don’t stop after beating the swords into plowshares, don’t stop! Go on beating and make musical instruments out of them. Whoever wants to make war again will have to turn them into plowshares first.

A man walks down the street
It’s a street in a strange world
Maybe it’s the third world
Maybe it’s his first time around
He doesn’t speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound, the sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatter-lings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says, “Amen!” and “Hallelujah!”
from genesis of the old testament to the gospels of the passions of the christ of the new testament …
First when there’s nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone
Well, I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around
Take a hold of my heart
What a feeling
Bein’s believin’
I can have it all
Now I’m dancing for my life
Take your passion
And make it happen
Pictures come alive
You can dance right through your life
Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash
It takes hold of my heart
What a feeling
Bein’s believin’
I can have it all
Now I’m dancing for my life

some people might be able to bridge from the hormone-driven (war, money, fame and fortune, sex, etc.) but all too practical “Madonna the material girl” (the Mother virgin mary’s child, jesus, preaches “man does not live by bread alone …” and appeals to the Father in the “lord’s prayer” for help with bread …) world to the spiritual biblical core of science (also “practical” in a spiritual kind of way: the search for a way back to the garden of eden have engaged not only jesus and muhammad and noah and moses and adam and eve but also buddha lao-tzu confucius not to mention shakespeare newton etc. … we can’t sit for too long before entropy impells us to search …) …

The Doctrine of the Mean
By Confucius
Written ca. 500 B.C.E
What Heaven has conferred is called The Nature; an accordance with this nature is called The Path of duty; the regulation of this path is called Instruction.
The path may not be left for an instant. If it could be left, it would not be the path. On this account, the superior man does not wait till he sees things, to be cautious, nor till he hears things, to be apprehensive.
There is nothing more visible than what is secret, and nothing more manifest than what is minute. Therefore the superior man is watchful over himself, when he is alone.
While there are no stirrings of pleasure, anger, sorrow, or joy, the mind may be said to be in the state of Equilibrium. When those feelings have been stirred, and they act in their due degree, there ensues what may be called the state of Harmony. This Equilibrium is the great root from which grow all the human actings in the world, and this Harmony is the universal path which they all should pursue.
Let the states of equilibrium and harmony exist in perfection, and a happy order will prevail throughout heaven and earth, and all things will be nourished and flourish.
The Great Learning
By Confucius
Written ca. 500 B.C.E
What the great learning teaches, is to illustrate illustrious virtue; to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence.
The point where to rest being known, the object of pursuit is then determined; and, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained to. To that calmness there will succeed a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation, and that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end.
Things have their root and their branches. Affairs have their end and their beginning. To know what is first and what is last will lead near to what is taught in the Great Learning.
The ancients who wished to illustrate illustrious virtue throughout the kingdom, first ordered well their own states. Wishing to order well their states, they first regulated their families. Wishing to regulate their families, they first cultivated their persons. Wishing to cultivate their persons, they first rectified their hearts. Wishing to rectify their hearts, they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts. Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost their knowledge. Such extension of knowledge lay in the investigation of things.
Things being investigated, knowledge became complete. Their knowledge being complete, their thoughts were sincere. Their thoughts being sincere, their hearts were then rectified. Their hearts being rectified, their persons were cultivated. Their persons being cultivated, their families were regulated. Their families being regulated, their states were rightly governed. Their states being rightly governed, the whole kingdom was made tranquil and happy.
From the Son of Heaven down to the mass of the people, all must consider the cultivation of the person the root of everything besides.
It cannot be, when the root is neglected, that what should spring from it will be well ordered. It never has been the case that what was of great importance has been slightly cared for, and, at the same time, that what was of slight importance has been greatly cared for.
the confucian “root” and then affirmation “Let the states of equilibrium and harmony exist in perfection, and a happy order will prevail throughout heaven and earth, and all things will be nourished and flourish.” is equivalent to the biblical and metaphorical foundation of modern science … [incidentally note the similarity of the “series” tu thân, tề gia trị quốc bình thiên hạ đạt cái TAO không tên” with the newton cauchy-schawartz definition of mathematical limit
In mathematics, the limit of a sequence is the value that the terms of a sequence “tend to”.[1] If such a limit exists, the sequence is called convergent. A sequence which does not converge is said to be divergent.[2] The limit of a sequence is said to be the fundamental notion on which the whole of analysis {
Given any real number, one may easily construct a sequence that converges to that number by taking decimal approximations. For example, the sequence converges to . Note that the decimal representation is the limitof the previous sequence, defined by
