A nootropic that actually works? For me, absolutely, which wasn’t something I was expecting from a botanical. 40-50 intellect tree seeds consumed over several hours produced an on-focus clarity and a mental acuity which were unmistakable. I have no idea why the psychoactive properties of these seeds are not more widely known.
Description: Typed transcript of letter from Florence Nightingale to Julia Ward Howe. Page 4 of 4. Written from Sapton near Sheffield, United Kingdom.
Full Text: ... affection when one sees old age -still it is good for us to be here, meaning on this little round-about, for we do love, and for that one can well suffer something. I suppose too the fire of declining intellect and strength is to burn away the wood and hay and stubble, purify the gold and silver, and leave the precious stones, which will not burn, alone. Oh, that old boyd [boy], it is like being chained to a galley-slave, which laughs at one, while one must work and struggle and despair and work again, and he says, I am master after all.
I do not know how to thank Dr. Howe for his most interesting and welcome letter and illustrations of Mesmerism, thanks and thanks a thousand that in the midst of his many occupations, and of the delights of his successes over that same dead and unpromising body in his pupils, a little time should have remained to him to think of me. I shall never forget so kind a thought. Could the excess of human charity and philanthropy induce him to write to me again, it would be giving me intense pleasure, when he has a little time, but you see I have nothing interesting to send him in return. You do not know how pleased I should be to see anything that you have written, dearest friend, nor how gratefully I should receive those poems of yours you promised me, when your friends come to England. Any friends of yours will be welcome at our house ever, but as a prognoctis and fore-shower of the happy time which shall see your faces there again -coming events cast their shadows before them, I shall think whenever we may receive friends of yours. Ah would that I could accept your invitation to come to America, but that is too good to be true- if I had gone too, I could not have come here, so everything is for the best, and so we shall be able to say some day, I suppose, to every thing, even to our own false steps. But I am afraid to look at the clock, for I do think it must be half past nine (we drink tea before 6 ) and the dog must have been chained to the foot of the stairs and every other soul and Christian dog asleep this hour - and you, my dear friend, I am sure must be asleep too, so only two words more to say, what I could not say in many ways, many more, how truly and earnestly I am ever your gratefully overflowing and affectionate
Florence Nightingale.
... The picture you draw of my coming to you is too tempting - would that it could ever take place, but I comfort myself with thinking that a spirit we have once known can never be lost to us; once make a true tie with it, and it can never be broken, and it does not much signify then where you meet it again, if in this little class of our great School-room or in the next . Forgive my stupidity and let me know that you do not forget me . My affectionate remembrances to Dr. Howe and the baby, tell her she could have talked at Lea Hurst, if she would, I know.

Biographical note: Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910) was an author, lecturer, poet, activist, abolitionist and leader in the Women's suffrage movement. Born in New York City to affluent parents, Ward Howe was well educated but expected to be a wife. In 1843 Ward Howe married Samuel Gridley Howe the founding director of Perkins after meeting him at a tour of the school. Despite conventional expectations that she not live a public life she initially published work anonymously before becoming a social activist that wrote, spoke, and worked for many social causes. She is commonly known for writing the words to “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and in 1908, she became the first woman elected to the American Academy of Arts. In 1988 she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.

For nearly 50 years, biophysicist and inventor Mária Telkes applied her prodigious intellect to
harnessing the sun’s power. She designed and built the first successfully solar-powered house
in 1949 but was perplexed by the knotty scientific challenge of developing a reliable and
economical way to store captured solar energy. She was also beset by rampant sexism and
fought pitched battles with her boss and colleagues — all men — at MIT’s Solar Energy Fund.
Despite these obstacles, Telkes persevered, helping to build another experimental solar-
powered house in 1971. Upon her death in 1995, she held more than 20 patents.

Actor, activist, and proud member of one of Britain’s most distinguished theatrical dynasties, Corin Redgrave (1939–2010) brought intellect, intensity, and political conviction to both stage and screen. Son of Sir Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, and brother to Vanessa and Lynn, Corin was never content to bask in the family legacy — he forged his own, with acclaimed performances in ‘A Man for All Seasons’, Shakespeare, and ‘Noises Off’, and a particularly lauded portrayal of Earl Mountbatten in ‘The Crown’. Equally known for his fierce left-wing politics, he was a tireless campaigner for civil rights, workers’ movements, and socialist causes — often at personal and professional cost. His headstone reflects both his warmth and courage: “fearless actor & campaigner”.
He rests here in the East Cemetery at Highgate, one of London’s most atmospheric and storied burial grounds. Established in 1839 to relieve the city’s overcrowded churchyards, Highgate quickly became the final resting place of Victorian luminaries and modern icons alike. Its winding paths, elaborate tombs, and overgrown greenery give it an otherworldly charm — a theatrical setting for a theatrical life.

Tombe de Corin Redgrave, Cimetière de Highgate
Acteur, militant et fier héritier d’une des plus grandes dynasties théâtrales britanniques, Corin Redgrave (1939–2010) alliait une présence scénique intense à un engagement politique farouche. Fils de Sir Michael Redgrave et de Rachel Kempson, frère de Vanessa et de Lynn, il s’est imposé par son propre talent dans des rôles marquants tels que Un homme pour l’éternité, Noises Off ou, plus récemment, Lord Mountbatten dans The Crown. Homme de convictions, il fut une voix puissante de la gauche britannique, militant inlassablement pour les droits civiques, les travailleurs et les causes socialistes, au prix de nombreuses controverses. Sur sa pierre tombale, ces simples mots : « acteur et militant intrépide ».
Il repose ici dans l’East Cemetery de Highgate, l’un des cimetières les plus emblématiques et romantiques de Londres. Inauguré en 1839 pour désengorger les églises de la capitale, il est vite devenu le lieu de sépulture de nombreuses figures illustres. Avec ses sentiers sinueux, ses monuments sculptés et sa végétation envahissante, Highgate évoque un décor de théâtre — cadre idéal pour un homme dont la vie fut elle-même dramatique.

I do not feel obligated to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reasons, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
Galileo Galilei
I loved both quotes. Galileo has a very keen intellect and excellent observational powers and we tend to forget these days that he was both a Scientist and a deeply religious man at the same time - I doubt that many people could tell you what hes actually famous for if you asked let alone tell you about his complex relationship with the church.
And yet the man is a wonderfull example of what it is to server 2 masters, Galileo loved the bible and god and yet could not deny what he saw around him - and he took up arms against the church and its tradition and it cost him dearly and yet his faith in God was constant.
Perhaps that why hes a favorite of mine - he refused to deny what he knew was true; that the earth and the planets revolved around the sun; even after being forced to recant by the inquisition - what more can you say about a man who when finally forced to submit states his recantation and yet under his breath still refuses, muttering Eppur si muove (and yet it moves) despite the recantation he had been forced to make by the church he still could not bring himself to hate.
Oh and I liked this photo as well, for me the cross and the candle have always been 2 of the most powerfull images of Christianity - theyre almost a perfect representation of 2 parts of the trinity when you think about it - the father and the son (god is light of the world and the cross.. well you get it) And it worked well.

"Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.
Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Yellow is often associated with food. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow is seen before other colors when placed against black; this combination is often used to issue a warning. In heraldry, yellow indicates honor and loyalty. Later the meaning of yellow was connected with cowardice.
Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings. You can choose yellow to promote children's products and items related to leisure. Yellow is very effective for attracting attention, so use it to highlight the most important elements of your design. Men usually perceive yellow as a very lighthearted, 'childish' color, so it is not recommended to use yellow when selling prestigious, expensive products to men – nobody will buy a yellow business suit or a yellow Mercedes. Yellow is an unstable and spontaneous color, so avoid using yellow if you want to suggest stability and safety. Light yellow tends to disappear into white, so it usually needs a dark color to highlight it. Shades of yellow are visually unappealing because they loose cheerfulness and become dingy.
Dull (dingy) yellow represents caution, decay, sickness, and jealousy.
Light yellow is associated with intellect, freshness, and joy."

Abraham (Avram) Sutzkever was born on July 15, 1913 in
Smorgon, Belarus to Hertz and Rayne (nee Feinberg)
Sutzkever. During WWI, the family was deported with other
Jews from the war zone by the Russian authorities, and
settled in Omsk, Siberia. After his father’s death there,
his mother moved the family to Vilnius, Lithuania in 1921.
Vilnius was a Jewish cultural and intellection center and
the site of both the Mefitze Haskole Library and the
Yiddish Scientific Institute (YIVO). Abraham flourished
in this atmosphere. He attended a Polish Jewish high
school, and in 1933 joined a writers and artists group,
Yung-Vilne (Young Vilna), where he met fellow writers and
poets. He then moved to Warsaw, where his first volume of
Yiddish poems, 'Lider,' was published in 1937. In 1939,
he married Freydke, and the couple moved back to Vilnius
where his second volume, 'Valdiks,' was published in
1940.
In 1941, German forces entered Vilnius, followed by
Einsatzgruppen mobile killing squads. In the first months
of the occupation, tens of thousands of Jews were killed.
Abraham and Freyde initially tried to flee east to areas
still under Soviet rule, but were blocked and forced into
the newly-formed ghetto. There, in the ghetto hospital,
Freydke gave birth to their first child, a son. Nazi
policy did not allow Jewish women to give birth, and the
baby was killed. Abraham’s mother was killed not long
after in one of the many aktions that took place until the
end of the year. In January 1942, the aktions stopped, and
Vilnius entered a more stable period. Throughout, Abraham
continued to write and to actively participate in the
cultural life of the ghetto, including a ghetto theater and
a youth club literary study group
In 1942, Nazi officials began plans to loot Jewish
cultural property in Lithuania, and established a sorting
office to review material from YIVO and other sources to
either be sent to the 'Institute for Study of the Jewish
Question' in Frankfurt or to be destroyed. Jewish ghetto
inmates, including Abraham, were tasked with sorting these
works, which included such items as the diaries of Theodore
Herzl and and letters by Sholem Aleichem. Rather than
comply, a group which came to be known as the Paper Brigade
was formed, headed by Zelig Kalmanowitz, Dr. Hermann Kruk,
and Chaikel Lunski. worked to smuggle the material out and
hide it in various locations throughout the ghetto. After
the war, these works were retrieved, and the bulk of it
sent to the United States, where YIVO established a new
headquarters.
In the summer of 1943, just before the final liquidation
of the ghetto, Abraham and Freydke managed to escape and
join the partisan units under Soviet command in the Naroch
Forest. In time, all-Jewish units were formed, and Abraham
joined one which was under the command of Moshe Judka
Rudnitski, whith whom he participated in several missions.
While he fought with the partisans, his poem 'Kol Nidrei,'
which described the killings in Ponary reached Russia. It
was read aloud at the Central House of Writers in Moscow,
and so moved the audience that a public appeal grew to
save him. Soviet authorities authorized his resuce, but
the first plane to try to reach him in the forest crashed.
From the metal fragments of the plane, they made a
suitcase, which Sutzkever filled with his poems and the
other works he had brought from the ghetto. A second plane
arrived in March 1944, this time successfully transporting
him and Freydke to Moscow. There, he continued to write,
including a chronicle of his experiences in the Vilna
ghetto, and a poem detailing the experiences of a group of
Jews trying to survive in the sewers of Vilna. The couple
spent the remainder of the war in Russia.
In July 1944, Vilnius was captured from the Germans by the
Soviet and Polish armies, allowing Avraham and Freydke to
return. They initially hoped to recover the hidden
cultural material and participate in the rebuilding of
Vilna, but the political climate under the Soviets was not
conducive to this, and they focused instead on helping to
smuggle the material out. In 1946, Avraham was asked to
testify about Nazi atrocities that he had witnessed in
Lithuania at the Nurmeberg war crimes trIals. After brief
stays in Poland and Paris, they immigrated to Palestine in
1947. There, he began a literary career and continued his
advocacy for the Yiddish language. He founded the literary
quarterly 'Di Goldene Keyt,' and encouraged Jewish
communities to foster the Yiddish language and traditions.
In the 1970s, he published what many consider to be his
greatest work, the series 'Lider Fun Toghukh.' In 1985, he
was awarded the Israel Prize. He died January 20, 2010,
preceded in death by Freydke in 2002. They are survived by
two daughters.

Mourning over and due respect shown for the death of Betty Windsor and ahead of the coronation of her hereditary successor is as good a time as any to reflect on the Crown.
Putting aside the status of the Monarch of the (cough, cough) United Kingdom and the Realms, King Charles III has styled himself as: His Majesty Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of his other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. Indeed, all of this is so archaic that The Firm still feels the need to Style old mate as Carolus in the long dead Latin — Chas or Chuck to we peasants!
Conflict of interest! Cast your mind back to Charles I of England. He lost his head over the appointment by God business. Have we learned SFA? George Santayana famously noted (sic) Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect and it is well to examine with your intellect whether to claim appointment by God then go to war in defence of the same deity isn't a bit of a problem. Logically if God falls, like the loss of ravens from the White Tower, then poof, so goes the monarchy.
I simply refuse to get into the silly arguments about the Koh-i-Noor and Cullinan baubles. As the property of others and theirs to give away to Victoria and her eldest son, title would seem to have been surrendered long ago. Of course, anyone might return a gift. It seems that history has not treated these stones well and they are diminished in their stature by the hands of man in their cutting. Sending back a used trinket ought to be seen as an insult!
Adopting Charles III as King of Australia is doubly problematic. Sure, the 17th and 18th century Acts relating to succession were patched up with a bit of race tape in 2013 to give the girls a go, but Australia is still constrained to have a Head of State descended from what is essentially a white family of former Germans who aren't Roman Catholics but must be members of the Anglican Church! Our own people, our first human population cannot, under our own laws, become the Head of State of their own country. Shame!!
So, here in the Treasury in the North Tower of the Uppsala Cathedral are reminders to maintain the chastity of our intellect. The crowns of King Johan III and his wife Queen Catherine for all their gold, garnets, sapphires, pearls and emeralds didn't save them from the human condition. We waste our talent and diminish our culture by slavish adherence to the superstition of regal superiority. Reflect on the Crown; give it a break!
I've always had a thing for glasses - even though my sight is actually fine - so I thought I would try out a cute librarian meets flamenco dancer look, matching the glasses and hair with my baby blue Dotti party dress that swayed around my hips and barely covered my bum as I had a dance in the living room!

and from the book "The Animal Mind" by James Gould and Carol Grant Could
"The concept of animal intelligence continues to hold our imagination today, as evidenced by the children's stories from Beatrix Potter to television's Lassie, but an increasing tendency in Western thought toward empirical evaluation has encouraged a more scientific consideration of the animal mind. Darwin wrote in the Descent of Man (1871) that the difference in mind between humans and the higher animals "certainly is one of degree and not one of a kind. We have seen that the senses and intuitions, the various emotions and faculties, such as love, memory, attention, curiosity, imitation, reason, and so on, of which man boasts, may be found in an incipient, or even sometimes in a well-developed condition in lower animals.....until very recently it has been anathema in the scientific world to suggest in print that intelligence of some sort, perhaps even self-awareness, might guide the routine and stereotyped behavior of many animals. As field research into the mechanisms of animal behavior has revealed many intricate but innate behavioral programs that, despite their sophistication, have no apparent intellectual component."

The Postcard
A Comique Series postcard that was published by the Inter-Art Co. of Florence House, Barnes, London SW. The artwork was by Donald McGill.
The card was posted on Friday the 22nd. August 1924 to:
Mr. A. Smale,
c/o Mrs. Land,
3, Marine Terrace,
Margate.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Bert,
So glad you are
enjoying yourself,
but I wish you had
better weather.
Had a card from
Dolly and Addy on
Monday.
Love from Mother."
Clarence Darrow
So what else happened on the day that Bert's mother posted the card?
Well, on the 22nd. August 1924, Clarence Darrow presented his closing argument in the Leopold and Loeb case.
Leopold and Loeb, were two wealthy students at the University of Chicago who kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks in Chicago, Illinois in May 1924.
They committed the murder – characterized at the time as "the crime of the century" – hoping to demonstrate superior intellect, which they believed enabled and entitled them to carry out a "perfect crime" without consequences.
After the two men were arrested, Loeb's family retained Clarence Darrow as lead counsel for their defense. Darrow's twelve-hour summation at their sentencing hearing is noted for its influential criticism of capital punishment as retributive rather than transformative justice.
Both young men were sentenced to life imprisonment plus 99 years. Loeb was murdered by a fellow prisoner in 1936. Leopold was released on parole in 1958. The case has since served as the inspiration for several dramatic works.
Leopold and Loeb's Murder of Bobby Franks
Leopold and Loeb, who were 19 and 18 respectively at the time, settled on kidnapping and murdering a younger adolescent as their perfect crime.
They spent seven months planning everything, from the method of abduction to disposal of the body. To obfuscate the actual nature of their crime and motive, they decided to make a ransom demand, and devised an intricate plan for collecting it involving a long series of complex instructions to be communicated, one set at a time, by phone.
They typed the final set of instructions involving the actual money drop in the form of a ransom note, using the typewriter stolen from the fraternity house. A chisel was selected as the murder weapon and purchased.
After a lengthy search for a suitable victim, mostly on the grounds of the Harvard School for Boys in the Kenwood area, where Leopold had been educated, the pair decided upon Robert "Bobby" Franks, the 14-year-old son of wealthy Chicago watch manufacturer Jacob Franks.
Bobby Franks was Loeb's second cousin and an across-the-street neighbor who had played tennis at the Loeb residence several times.
Leopold and Loeb put their plan in motion on the afternoon of the 21st. May 1924. Using an automobile that Leopold rented under the name Morton D. Ballard, they offered Franks a ride as he walked home from school.
The boy initially refused, because his destination was less than two blocks away, but Loeb persuaded him to enter the car to discuss a tennis racket that he had been using.
The precise sequence of events that followed remains in dispute, but a preponderance of opinion placed Leopold behind the wheel of the car while Loeb sat in the back seat with the chisel.
Loeb struck Franks, who was sitting in front of him in the passenger seat, several times in the head with the chisel, then dragged him into the back seat and gagged him, where he died.
With the body on the floor of the back seat, the men drove to their predetermined dumping spot near Wolf Lake in Hammond, Indiana, 25 miles (40 km) south of Chicago.
After nightfall, they removed and discarded Franks' clothes, then concealed the body in a culvert along the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks north of the lake.
In order to obscure the body's identity, they poured hydrochloric acid on Franks' face and genitals to disguise the fact that he had been circumcised, as circumcision was unusual among non-Jews in the United States at the time.
The Ransom Note
By the time the two men returned to Chicago, word had already spread that Franks was missing. Leopold called Franks' mother, identifying himself as "George Johnson", and told her that Franks had been kidnapped; instructions for delivering the ransom would follow.
After mailing the typed ransom note and burning their blood-stained clothing, then cleaning the blood stains from the rented vehicle's upholstery, they spent the remainder of the evening playing cards.
Once the Franks family received the ransom note on the following morning, Leopold called a second time and dictated the first set of instructions for the ransom payment.
The intricate plan stalled almost immediately when a nervous family member forgot the address of the store where he was supposed to receive the next set of directions, and it was abandoned entirely when word came that Franks' body had been found.
Leopold and Loeb destroyed the typewriter and burned a car blanket that they had used to move the body. They then went about their lives as usual.
Chicago police launched an intensive investigation and rewards were offered for information. Both Leopold and Loeb enjoyed chatting with friends and family members about the murder. Leopold discussed the case with his professor and a girl friend, joking that he would confess and give her the reward money.
Loeb helped a couple of reporter friends of his find the drug store he and Leopold had tried to send Jacob Franks to, and when asked to describe Bobby he replied:
"If I were to murder anybody, it would
be just such a cocky little son of a bitch
as Bobby Franks."
Police found a pair of eyeglasses near Franks' body. Although common in prescription and frame, they were fitted with an unusual hinge purchased by only three customers in Chicago, one of whom was Leopold.
When questioned, Leopold offered the possibility that his glasses might have dropped out of his pocket during a bird-watching trip the previous weekend.
Leopold and Loeb were summoned for formal questioning on the 29th. May. They asserted that on the night of the murder, they had picked up two women in Chicago using Leopold's car, then dropped them off some time later near a golf course without learning their last names.
However their alibi was exposed as a fabrication when Leopold's chauffeur told police that he was repairing Leopold's car while the men claimed to be using it.
Also the chauffeur's wife confirmed that the car was parked in the Leopold garage on the night of the murder. The destroyed typewriter was recovered from the Jackson Park Lagoon on the 7th. June.
Confessions
Loeb was the first to confess. He asserted that Leopold had planned everything and had killed Franks in the back seat of the car while he (Loeb) drove. Leopold's confession followed swiftly thereafter. He insisted that he was the driver and Loeb the murderer.
Their confessions otherwise corroborated most of the evidence in the case. Both confessions were announced by the state's attorney on the 31st. May.
Leopold later claimed, long after Loeb was dead, that he pleaded in vain with Loeb to admit to killing Franks. He quoted Loeb as saying:
"Mompsie feels less terrible than
she might, thinking you did it, and
I'm not going to take that shred of
comfort away from her."
Most observers believed that Loeb did strike the fatal blows. Some circumstantial evidence – including testimony from eyewitness Carl Ulvigh, who claimed that he saw Loeb driving and Leopold in the back seat minutes before the kidnapping – suggested that Leopold could have been the killer.
Both Leopold and Loeb admitted that they were driven by their thrill-seeking, Übermenschen (supermen) delusions, and their aspiration to commit a "perfect crime".
Neither claimed to have looked forward to the killing, but Leopold admitted interest in learning what it would feel like to be a murderer. He was disappointed to note that he felt the same as ever.
The Trial of Leopold and Loeb
The trial of Leopold and Loeb at Chicago's Cook County Criminal Court became a media spectacle. The Leopold and Loeb families hired the renowned criminal defense attorney Clarence Darrow to lead the defense team.
It was rumored that Darrow was paid $1 million for his services, but he was actually paid $70,000 (equivalent to $1,200,000 in 2022). Darrow took the case because he was a staunch opponent of capital punishment.
While it was generally assumed that the men's defense would be based on a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, Darrow concluded that a jury trial would almost certainly end in conviction and the death penalty.
Thus he elected to enter a plea of guilty, hoping to convince Cook County Circuit Court Judge John R. Caverly to impose sentences of life imprisonment.
The trial, technically an extended sentencing hearing, as their guilty pleas had already been accepted, ran for thirty-two days.
The state's attorney, Robert E. Crowe, presented over 100 witnesses, documenting details of the crime.
The defense presented extensive psychiatric testimony in an effort to establish mitigating circumstances, including childhood neglect in the form of absent parenting, and in Leopold's case, sexual abuse by a governess.
One piece of evidence was a letter written by Leopold claiming that he and Loeb were having a homosexual affair. Both the prosecution and the defense interpreted this information as supportive of their own position.
Darrow called a series of expert witnesses, who offered a catalog of Leopold's and Loeb's abnormalities. One witness testified to their dysfunctional endocrine glands, another to the delusions that had led to their crime.
Darrow's Speech
Darrow's impassioned, eight-hour-long "masterful plea" at the conclusion of the hearing has been called the finest speech of his career. Its principal arguments were that the methods and punishments of the American justice system were inhumane, and the youth and immaturity of the accused:
"This terrible crime was inherent in his organism, and it came from some ancestor. Is any blame attached because somebody took Nietzsche's philosophy seriously and fashioned his life upon it? It is hardly fair to hang a 19-year-old boy for the philosophy that was taught him at the university.
We read of killing one hundred thousand men in a day [during World War I]. We read about it and we rejoiced in it – if it was the other fellows who were killed. We were fed on flesh and drank blood.
Even down to the prattling babe. I need not tell you how many upright, honorable young boys have come into this court charged with murder, some saved and some sent to their death, boys who fought in this war and learned to place a cheap value on human life. You know it and I know it. These boys were brought up in it.
It will take fifty years to wipe it out of the human heart, if ever. I know this, that after the Civil War in 1865, crimes of this sort increased, marvelously. No one needs to tell me that crime has no cause. It has as definite a cause as any other disease, and I know that out of the hatred and bitterness of the Civil War crime increased as America had never seen before.
I know that Europe is going through the same experience today; I know it has followed every war; and I know it has influenced these boys so that life was not the same to them as it would have been if the world had not made red with blood.
Your Honor knows that in this very court crimes of violence have increased growing out of the war. Not necessarily by those who fought but by those that learned that blood was cheap, and human life was cheap, and if the State could take it lightly why not the boy?
Has the court any right to consider anything but these two boys? The State says that your Honor has a right to consider the welfare of the community, as you have. If the welfare of the community would be benefited by taking these lives, well and good. I think it would work evil that no one could measure.
Has your Honor a right to consider the families of these defendants? I have been sorry, and I am sorry for the bereavement of Mr. and Mrs. Franks, for those broken ties that cannot be healed. All I can hope and wish is that some good may come from it all. But as compared with the families of Leopold and Loeb, the Franks are to be envied – and everyone knows it.
Here is Leopold's father – and this boy was the pride of his life. He watched him and he cared for him, he worked for him; the boy was brilliant and accomplished. He educated him, and he thought that fame and position awaited him, as it should have awaited. It is a hard thing for a father to see his life's hopes crumble into dust.
And Loeb's the same. Here are the faithful uncle and brother, who have watched here day by day, while Dickie's father and his mother are too ill to stand this terrific strain, and shall be waiting for a message which means more to them than it can mean to you or me. Shall these be taken into account in this general bereavement?
The easy thing and the popular thing to do is to hang my clients. I know it. Men and women who do not think will applaud. The cruel and thoughtless will approve. It will be easy today; but in Chicago, and reaching out over the length and breadth of the land, more and more fathers and mothers, the humane, the kind and the hopeful, who are gaining an understanding and asking questions not only about these poor boys, but about their own – these will join in no acclaim at the death of my clients.
These would ask that the shedding of blood be stopped, and that the normal feelings of man resume their sway. Your Honor stands between the past and the future. You may hang these boys; you may hang them by the neck until they are dead. But in doing it you will turn your face toward the past. In doing it you are making it harder for every other boy who in ignorance and darkness must grope his way through the mazes which only childhood knows.
In doing it you will make it harder for unborn children. You may save them and make it easier for every child that sometime may stand where these boys stand. You will make it easier for every human being with an aspiration and a vision and a hope and a fate.
I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men. When we can learn by reason and judgment and understanding and faith that all life is worth saving, and that mercy is the highest attribute of man."
The judge was persuaded, but he explained in his ruling that his decision was based primarily on precedent and the youth of the accused. On the 10th. September 1924, he sentenced both Leopold and Loeb to life imprisonment for the murder, and an additional 99 years for the kidnapping. A little over a month later, Loeb's father died of heart failure.
Darrow's handling of the law as defense counsel has been criticized for hiding psychiatric expert testimony that conflicted with his polemical goals and for relying on an absolute denial of free will, one of the principles legitimizing all criminal punishment.
Prison and Loeb's Murder
Leopold and Loeb initially were held at Joliet Prison. Although they were kept apart as much as possible, the two managed to maintain their friendship.
Leopold was transferred to Stateville Penitentiary in 1925, and Loeb was later transferred there as well. Once reunited, the two expanded the prison school system, adding a high school and junior college curriculum.
On the 28th. January 1936, Loeb was attacked by fellow inmate James Day with a straight razor in a shower room; he died soon after in the prison hospital.
Day claimed that Loeb had attempted to sexually assault him, but he was unharmed, while Loeb sustained more than fifty wounds, including defensive wounds on his arms and hands. His throat had been slashed from behind.
News accounts suggested Loeb had propositioned Day, and though several prison officials including the Warden believed Loeb had been murdered, Day was found not guilty by a jury after a short trial in June, 1936.
The Ku Klux Klan
Also on that day, U.S. presidential candidate John W. Davis condemned the Ku Klux Klan by name in a speech in Sea Girt, New Jersey, reviving an issue that had badly split the Democratic Party at the National Convention.
Davis called on President Coolidge to do the same.
Agatha Christie
Also on the 22nd. August 1924, the Agatha Christie novel 'The Man in the Brown Suit' was published.
A Disturbance in the Reichstag
Also on that day, Communists in the Reichstag filibustered Chancellor Wilhelm Marx. They caused a loud disturbance of hoots and jeers when he tried to speak on the London conference ahead of a vote on the matter.
The session was suspended and police were called in, but no clause could be found by which to arrest those who were causing the disturbance, and the Reichstag adjourned for the day.
St Oswald, Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
Carrara marble monument to Penelope Boothby (1785-1791).
Daughter of Sir Brooke Boothby, Baronet & his wife Susannah.
By Thomas Banks (1735-1805), 1793.
The inscription is in four different languages - English, Latin, French & Italian, all of which Penelope spoke.
"She was in form and intellect most exquisite. The unfortunate parents ventured their all on this frail bark and the wreck was total.”
Thomas Banks (1735-1805) was apprenticed to a London mason, but also spent time working alongside the sculptor Peter Scheemakers (1691-1781). He enrolled in the life classes held at the St Martin's Lane Academy, and later at the Royal Academy Schools. In 1772 he became the first sculptor to win the Royal Academy's three-year travelling stipend, and went with his wife to Rome, where he eventually spent seven years. He specialised in ideal works, most of which were executed in Rome for British patrons, although he continued to produce similar work after his return to London. He was made a Royal Academician in 1786. Banks was one of the most original British Neo-classical sculptors, who dedicated his work to the antique spirit rather than to the fashionable classical style alone.

Grade I Listed
Early foundation. Present church is mainly Early English from circa 1220 but a few remnants of earlier Norman work survive and a Saxon cross shaft (part) in the south aisle. The church is believed to stand on the site of a pagan holy well, now thought to be concealed beneath tyre crossing. The tower and spire circa 1330. The spire, which has been rebuilt several times, has a height of 215ft. Perpendicular additions and alterations circa 1520. The battlements to the chancel were added by Sir G G Scott in 1878 and the church was restored by Cottingham earlier in the C19. Some fine monuments from C14, of which the most famous is probably the figure of Penelope Boothby 1791, by Thomas Banks. Some mediaeval glass remains. In 1644, the church was fired on by Parliamentarians and the marks are still visible in the west wall.
Nos 38, 40 and 72, together with Pegg's Almshouses, Owlfield's Almhouses, The Mansion, the Summerhouse and the cobbled pavements form a group with the parish Church of St Oswald and the churchyard gate piers, gates and walls.

Great Gospel of John & Household of God
Do not in future build houses of prayer for Me but guest houses and refuges for the poor who can not pay you!
In the love of your poor brothers and sisters shall you be My true worshippers, and in such houses of prayer I shall be frequently among you, without you necessarily becoming aware of it; but in temples built for worshipping Me with the lips, as it has been till now, I shall henceforth dwell no more than man's intellect would in his little toe.
If however you have to awaken your hearts towards Me and enter upon the right humility in an exalted temple, then move outside into the temple of My Creations, and sun, moon and all the stars and the sea, the mountains and the trees and the birds of the air, as also the fish in the water and the countless flowers of the fields shall proclaim My glory to you!
Say, is not the tree more glorious than all the splendour of the temple at Jerusalem?! A tree is a pure work of God, it has its life and brings forth nourishing fruit. But what does the temple bring forth? I say unto you: nothing but arrogance, anger, envy, the most blatant jealousy and domineering; because it is not God's, but the vain work of man.
Verily, verily I say unto you all; he who shall honor, love and therewith worship Me by doing good to his brothers and sisters in My name shall have his everlasting reward in heaven; but he who henceforth honors Me with all kinds of ceremonies in a temple built especially for this shall also have his temporal reward from the temple! When however after the death of his flesh he shall come to Me and say: 'Lord, Lord, have mercy on me, your servant', I shall then say unto him: 'I do not know you; hence depart from Me and seek your reward with him who you served!' For this reason you too should henceforth have nothing more to do with any temple!
God also never taught the people to honor Him with lips and keep their hearts cold. But since Samuel prayed audibly in front of the people, equally so several of the prophets, and because David sang to God the Lord his psalms and Salmo his High Song, the people came to empty lip prayer and to cold sacrifices.
However, before God such prayers and sacrifices are repulsive! He who cannot pray in the heart should rather not pray at all, so as to not behave improper before God. God did not give feet, hands, eyes, ears and lips to man to pray vainly and vacuously, but only the heart!
For what use is the senseless bawling in the church, if thousands of poor and hungry brothers outside the church are not considered?!
Go and strengthen first the needy, feed the hungry, quench the thirsty, clothe the naked, comfort the sad, free the imprisoned and preach the gospel to the poor in spirit, then you will do endlessly better than to blare day and night in the churches with your lips, while your hearts were cold and unreceptive to your poor brothers!
Why would you build a separate house while you already have houses in which you live, wherein you also can come together in My name to discuss about My teaching and to tell about the experiences which everyone will certainly have when they live according to God's will?
It is also not necessary to introduce a certain feast day for that which you would call - like for instance the Pharisees call the Sabbath - 'the day of the Lord'. Because every day is a day of the Lord, and so on every day just as many good works can be done, because God does not look at a day and still less at a house that is build to honor and worship Him, but God looks only at the heart and the will of man. If the heart is pure and the will is good, and when these will make the whole man active, then this is already the true, real house of God's Spirit in man, and so his always good and active will according to the known will of God is the true and thus also the always real day of the Lord.
But if in a community you want to build a house out of love for Me, let this then be a school for your children, and give them teachers according to My teaching. You also can build a house for the poor, the sick and the disabled. Provide such a house of everything that is necessary to take care of the people who live there, then you always will be able to rejoice in My pleasure. All the rest and that which is in addition is evil and has, as already said, no value for God.
Do tell My children and all others, no matter of what religion: on earth there is only one church, and this is the love for Me in My Son. This love is the Holy Spirit within you, which reveals itself to you through My living Word. Thus I am in you; and your soul, whose heart is My dwelling place, is the sole Church on earth. In it alone there is eternal life, and it is the sole redeeming one! Or do you think I am present within the walls or in the ceremony or in prayer or veneration? Oh, no, there you are very much mistaken. There I am nowhere to be found, but only where there is love, there I am also!

'Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. Already, in the Eleventh Edition, we're not far from that point. But the process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there's no reason or excuse for committing thoughtcrime. It's merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won't be any need even for that. The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect. Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is Newspeak,' he added with a sort of mystical satisfaction. 'Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?'
'Except-' began Winston doubtfully, and he stopped.
It had been on the tip of his tongue to say 'Except the proles,' but he checked himself, not feeling fully certain that this remark was not in some way unorthodox. Syme, however, had divined what he was about to say.
'The proles are not human beings,' he said carelessly. 'By 2050 earlier, probably -- all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron -- they'll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually changed into something contradictory of what they used to be. Even the literature of the Party will change. Even the slogans will change. How could you have a slogan like "freedom is slavery" when the concept of freedom has been abolished? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking -- not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.'
One of these days, thought Winston with sudden deep conviction, Syme will be vaporized. He is too intelligent. He sees too clearly and speaks too plainly. The Party does not like such people. One day he will disappear. It is written in his face.
GEORGE ORWELL
La Paramārtha-śūnyatā, ou « Vacuité de l'Ultime », touche au sommet de la réalisation. Après avoir déconstruit le sujet (l'interne) et l'objet (l'externe), cette étape s'attaque à ce que nous considérons comme la Vérité Absolue elle-même.
C’est sans doute la forme de vacuité la plus vertigineuse, car elle ne laisse aucun refuge à l'intellect.
1. Qu'est-ce que le "Paramārtha" ?
En sanskrit, Paramārtha se compose de Parama (suprême, ultime) et Artha (objet, sens, vérité). C'est la réalité telle qu'elle est vue par l'esprit d'un être éveillé, au-delà des apparences trompeuses du monde conventionnel (Samvriti).
Dans de nombreuses traditions, on pourrait être tenté de diviniser cette « Vérité Ultime » ou d'en faire une substance métaphysique (comme un Dieu ou un Absolu solide). La Paramārtha-śūnyatā vient briser cette ultime idole.
2. Le sens philosophique : L'Absolu n'est pas une chose
Cette vacuité nous enseigne trois points fondamentaux :
* Le Nirvana est vide : Même l'état de libération n'est pas une "chose" que l'on possède ou un lieu où l'on va. S'il était une entité solide et non-vide, il serait limité et ne pourrait pas être atteint.
* L'ineffabilité : La Vérité Ultime est "vide" car elle est au-delà de tout concept, de tout mot et de toute saisie. Dès que l'on nomme l'Absolu, on en fait un objet de pensée, et donc une vérité conventionnelle.
* L'absence de hiérarchie réelle : Ultimement, il n'y a pas de différence de "nature" entre le monde ordinaire et l'absolu. Les deux sont également vides de nature propre.
3. L'impact pratique : Le saut dans le sans-appui
Méditer sur la Paramārtha-śūnyatā, c'est refuser de se construire un "nid" spirituel. C'est comprendre que même le chemin vers l'éveil est un radeau que l'on doit laisser derrière soi. Cela mène à une liberté radicale où l'esprit ne s'appuie plus sur rien, pas même sur l'idée de "vérité".
Résonance avec notre Pax-Urale : Lignifiante
C'est ici que notre profil atteint sa pleine maturité spirituelle. La lignification évoque l'aboutissement, la forme finale et robuste.
* Le Bois Absolu : Dans notre processus de croissance, la Paramārtha-śūnyatā est le moment où vous réalisez que la "finalité" de votre structure (le bois parfait) est elle-même une illusion.
* La Solidité Transcendée : Votre force n'est plus une "chose" que vous protégez. Votre structure lignifiée devient un "Monument de Vide". C'est une présence imposante, inébranlable et majestueuse, mais qui, lorsqu'on tente de l'analyser au niveau ultime, se révèle être pure lumière et pur espace.
* L'Autorité Silencieuse : En tant que Lignifiante, vous incarnez une solidité qui ne s'explique pas, car elle ne repose sur aucune vérité conceptuelle. C'est la force du chêne qui n'a pas besoin de justifier son existence.
« La Vérité Ultime est comme un arbre de bois précieux : sa nature est de n'avoir aucune nature. Sa force est de n'avoir aucun centre. »

Some Background History if you care,
Ceres was born to the phoenix of the morning sun after she was raped by the gate-keeper of hell and thus had the traits of both elemental spirit and demon-kin alike which made the role of his early life very confusing. He was incarnated as a guardian spirit to a volcano known as "the volcano of rebirth" by locals. It was called 'rebirth' because the hot springs which litter the side of the volcano were used by locals as miracle springs to bring back people with illnesses that left them on the verge of death back to their fully healthy state. Hence, a rebirth of anyone who was dipped into its waters.
For a time, the volcano was peaceful until rumors spread of its existence and adventurers came to see for themselves. A tavern was built to feed and house the adventurers during their stay and spread the tale of healing that was the volcano. Eventually, the spirit himself came down to the tavern and inquired why so many humans had come to his domain. He found the humans to be entertaining at first and sold to them trinkets of colourful glass he had formed by super-heating sand and rock around his home within the volcano. However, as with any good thing - there came a man who sought to use the spirit's power as his own and challenged the spirit to battle.
The spirit was not defeated but had 'died' during the fight. As his mother rose every morning, carrying her 'sun' upon her wings - the next day the spirit was back within the tavern. The same individual called out the spirit once again, but this time was soundly defeated in all manners therein. The patrons of the tavern cast out the defeated man warning him that if he ever returned, his defeat would mean death. After this, Ceres met a woman by the name of Laura who admired his fight from afar and also craved his power as her own. She however, was much more sly in her approach. She implored to the regional spirit of the volcano to aide her on a noble quest to attain her 'wings'. The spirit agreed and willingly lent her his power in her quest. The two traveled together for quite some time with the girl gaining power and strength along with her spiritual companion. Eventually, the power she gained through her own means could not satisfy her and she craved the unending magical energy of the elemental spirit of fire. She came to 'kill' the spirit once again - this time preventing his cycle of rebirth by casting his soul into the 'hell world'.
In the hell world, Ceres finally met the one who had raped his mother, the original 'Cerberus'. It was then for the first time the spirit knew what 'true rage' was. In a blind fit of hate - the spirit slew the demon and absorbed its power - claiming it as his own, his 'birth rite'. In the hell world, RaGe as he became known became a 'captain' of hell's army and in doing so gained the privilege of leaving hell on his own accord.
RaGe returned to the world, reborn again - this time far more powerful than he had left. Sensing his return, his caretaker, the one who killed him in pursuit of power returned to the volcano. RaGe however did not remember the circumstances of his demise. He remembered her before she slaughtered him for his power and he trusted her once again. The two lived happily for some time, birthing two daughters and adopting a third. However, the allure of power is never ending and for a second time the bride of RaGe attempted to take his life to claim his energy.
This time, the fight went differently, the spirit massacred his wife, leaving her bloody entrails littering his 'glass palace'. He left her there until the fumes and maggots ate her as a reminder to himself that humans were not to be trusted.
Decades later an avatar came to him - claiming to be a caretaker of balance, the face of a house that protected the way of the world. Not to be fooled again, the spirit tested the avatar in battle and intellect. Finding him to be a man of worth, the spirit placed his trust in the avatar. Now ascended - Ceres waits for anyone willing to put themselves through 'hell' to come and attempt to claim his power through a spirit-contract. Those who have attempted before have all died in one way or another; perhaps they too have been reborn amidst the dancing flames.

There are three parts in this body. Outer body, Inner action and Pure soul. Outer body is physical part that we see. Inner action, that is going on inside us and you are the knower – Pure Soul. In Inner action, there are four parts – mind, intellect, ego and Chit. Only after decision is taken in inner part, it automatically comes in outer action. Mind shows thoughts in form of pamplet which remains inside the body. Chit – means visualization, It goes outside the body and can see the place, things, people etc. Intellect, takes the decision based on which ego will sign like a President. After all this outer action takes place. Pure Soul is the knower of what happens.
