Day34-Simple Tasks
Feb. 3 2012
While to everybody else sharpening a pencil is probably the easiest task you could ask of someone. But when you ask me to sharpen a pencil...well your going to get half a pencil back. Let alone talking about a color pencil where you are going to get a quarter of it back :P
We are all good at our own things no need to be perfect at everything! People like you for who you are and just be yourself!

Having cut back the top end of the garden, it was now time to do the same at the bottom.
The sad fact is that we will have to do this all again in 12 months time. Still what else have we to occupy our time with?
In the mix are cuttings from the lemon trees, the nisporo tree, lantana, honeysuckle and bougainvillea.

"Your next target is a man that goes by the name of Richard Salisbury."
"Got it. Where is he going to be?"
"You can find him at his house in the upper part of Gotham. Address is 919 West Lane."
"Alright, I'm going now."
I got to Richard's house and waited for the best time to strike. Ah, he's coming out, great!
"Ok, he's coming out, I'm going in."

Joint Task Force-East
NOVO SELO, Bulgaria — U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel joined together for two symbolic ceremonies Sept. 27 and 28 as exercise Lion Strike came to an end.
First, Joint Task Force-East celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a humanitarian project at a kindergarten in Mokren, Bulgaria. Eleven U.S. Navy personnel from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 40, otherwise known as SeaBees, finished an extensive renovation of the school during the exercise.
The children from the school, along with parents, teachers, school director, local officials and U.S. and Bulgarian military personnel, crowded the small courtyard during the ceremony.
"We say in the United States that the children are our future," said Army Lt. Col. Bruce Sones, commanding officer for JTF-E "Lion Strike".
"We hope through the efforts of those involved in this project that the improved environment created for teaching the children will contribute to the children's development as they grow and become leaders in your society."
The school director, Margarita Nicolova, thanked the SeaBees and then presented them with a picture painted by the children, a CD of Bulgarian folk music, a photo of the children and a glass vial filled with Bulgarian soil.
Of the soil, she said, "Wherever you go, you know you'll have a piece of Bulgaria with you."
The school children then sang several songs for the audience and the ribbon was cut. But, there was another surprise for the children, a HMMWV full of gifts. All of the soldiers, sailors and airmen participating in the exercise had contributed money to buy much-needed school supplies and educational toys for the school.
"We will maintain what you have done, and promise to continue with improvements," said Emil Enchev, mayor of Mokren. "Hopefully we will continue working together in the future."
The next day, all JTF-E "Lion Strike" participants, both U.S. and Bulgarian, came together again, this time to commemorate the end of the exercise during the closing ceremony.
During the ceremony Sones and Col. Biser Kalinov, chief of Training, Bulgarian Land Forces, presented certificates of achievement to 14 U.S. Soldiers and 16 Bulgarian soldiers for their efforts during the exercise.
"During this training, we had the opportunity to gain military experience from the leading force in NATO - the United States Military, and to show that while representing a small army, the Bulgarian officers, Non-commissioned officers and soldiers are honorable partners and excellent professionals," said Kalinov, who spoke first during the ceremony.
He was followed by Sones, who echoed Kalinov's feelings.
"This closing ceremony does not mark the end of a training opportunity or a farewell to relationships fostered," said Sones.
"In our minds, it marks the hopeful commencement of future training opportunities to be conducted between our nations."
"We can truly say the professionalism and generosity of the Bulgarian Land Forces is unrivaled," he continued.
"We know the strong relationship between the United States and Bulgaria, as demonstrated during this exercise, will continue to grow, and we look forward to training and serving with you in the years to come."
The Province has created the Food Security Task Force to find new ways to use technology and innovation to strengthen BC's agriculture sector and grow the economy by helping farmers farm and processors become more productive, now and in the future.

in part 10 we consolidated our comprehending of the thinghood of a thing and of its constituent phenomena. our task now is to look more carefully at the temporality of the thing 'through the eyes' of its constituent phenomenon {r(gv)}.
we must re-emphasise that these articulations of temporality are instantaneous, and that proper time would only appear to flow as a remembered accumulation for {r(gv)}, and only then if it were possessed of a brain.
likewise we should also note that there are no fractional states. these are temporal articulations of sheer absolute difference - which is in every case our own quantized or discrete comprehending, as the alterity of pure singleness.
(although the discrete nature of the electron shells of an atom are vastly more complex than this primitive thing, we hope to go there eventually.)
but let us here begin by simply adding up the total instances of the constituents at every moment of the thing’s existence. note that at any moment, the phenomenon 'is what it is at the present', and these are the accumulating quantities of interest.

we can see from the diagram that although {r(gv)} auto-comprehends as a simple alterity (i am spatially different from the other for a time), this 'binary' alterity is always comprised of a proportionality of three. we can also see that for each succeeding moment of time, their proportions are different. in other words, the complex (but symmetrical) proportional understandings of {r(gv)} are reduced at every moment to a simple, but gravitationally different (asymmetrical) alterity. (vis. a-symmetry).
moment 0
pure singleness extends as the elementary moment of a threefold thing {r(gv)}
moment 1
thingly phenomenon {r(gv)} instantaneously realises its binary alterity of proportions
red 0, green 1, violet 1...
(∴ phenomenal proportionality = 0 : 2)
moment 2
...which instantly presents its binary alterity of proportions
red 2, green 1, violet 1...
(∴ phenomenal proportionality = 1 : 1)
moment 3
...which instantly re-presents its binary alterity of proportions
red 2, green 3, violet 3...
(∴ phenomenal proportionality = 1 : 3)
moment 4
...which instantly re-presents its binary alterity of proportions
red 6, green 5, violet 5...
(∴ phenomenal proportionality = 3 : 5)
moment 5
...which instantly re-presents its binary alterity of proportions
red 10, green 11, violet 11...
(∴ phenomenal proportionality = 5 : 11)
we have raised a few terms here which we should try to consolidate.
things and phenomena
a 'thing' is constituted by 'phenomena' (later we will see that it is always three phenomena that constitute any thing - things are always comprised of threefold entanglements of their constituent phenomena.)
but things are always also the entangled phenomena of other more complex things. in other words, 'things' and 'phenomena' are our comprehending of regional entanglements of alter-universes.
‘phenomenal proportionality’ refers to the differential gravitation of momentary understanding among entangled phenomena. it is the measure of force of self-at-a-distance for any phenomenon of our comprehending.
whereas ‘thingly proportionality’ is the gravitational potential of a thing at any moment of its proper time; and is the product of dividing the quantity of phenomenal alterity by phenomenal self. it is the force of self-not-at-a-distance which the thing carries over into any subsequent phenomenality. thingly proportionality is gravity.

let us look further into the proportionality of the first few moments of thing {r(gv)}. (let us re-emphasise that these arguments are theoretical - concerning an impossibly isolated phenomenal thing {r(gv)}, and its thingly phenomena - rgv.) (we should also remember that what applies to red also applies equally and simultaneously to green and violet). (and also we will try wherever possible to make the pronouns personal, to reflect the fact that it is always our own comprehending under discussion).
moment 1 - the moment when the phenomenal thing {r(gv)} comes into existence, and thingly phenomenon r becomes real as the gravitational difference of its others (gv).
there being zero instances of red with one instance each of green and violet, let us assume that at the start of any thing’s existence, our phenomenal red self (whom we are trying to comprehend and which is in every case the one who is entangled with the others) is only real as the alterity of our phenomenal others, green and violet. therefore when we divide the instances of our alterity by the instances of our self, we see that at moment 1 the thing {r(gv)} is infinitely other. (2÷0 = ∞).
given that our self is nothing but its differential gravitation from alterity, this is to say that at the first moment of any thing’s existence, our gravitation to the other from which comes our differential existence, is infinite.
at the first real moment of any isolated thing, that thing has infinite gravity. (a thing only appears isolated to the thing which comprehends itself as isolated - therefore 'with infinite gravity at the beginning of time'.
moment 2 - at the second moment of any thing’s existence, there are two instances of our red self, with one each of our green and violet alterity. so we describe moment 2 as being of 1 : 1 phenomenal proportionality, and of gravity (1÷1 = 1).
(these numbers simply reflect the constitution of our alterity at the previous moment r(gv)- the constitution of our red self at any moment is always that of the constitution of our alterity green and violet at the previous moment of our co-existence).
