Commentary.
This Benedictine Monastery and Abbey Church,
founded as early as 1018, reputedly by King Cnut,
served under Savignac and later Cistercian rule in medieval times.
It suffered the consequences of religious persecution in the 16th. Century, when the Dissolution of the Monasteries, by direction of King Henry VIII, saw it ransacked and ultimately demolished.
The site was bought by French Benedictine monks in the nineteenth century and dedicated to St. Mary. Not until 1907 did a re-build commence followed by consecration in 1932 and completion in 1938.
Prayer and worship is only one part of a monk’s daily life.
What always strikes me is how active they are in supporting their community and earning their keep.
Vegetables, honey, beeswax, pigs, cattle, wine, fudge, publications and many other products are sold near and far.
Monks built the building, help to maintain it, design stained-glass windows for new chapels, farm the land, tend the gardens and benefit from the thousands of paying visitors that come to enjoy, this thriving, yet spiritually uplifting and inspirational place.
Indeed, healthy income enables continuous development.
For example a magnificent new pipe-organ, sourced from Italy, was successfully installed in 2017.
The vibrant, ongoing work of this highly committed
and faithful community is complemented by the incredible beauty of its setting.
Nestling as it does on the edge of Dartmoor,
in the exquisite Dart Valley, where it is,
and what it does, evokes the peace, solace, tranquillity
of the spirit of God, to his honour and glory.
A thousand years, 1018-2018 is only the beginning!

The Braga cathedral is the most ancient of all cathedrals in Portugal.
As consequence of the importance the city of Braga had already to the Romans (known as Bracara Augusta) and all the following invading people like the Visigoths and Muslims, this cathedral was always a main worship place. Because of this it was heavily remodelled in 1093, when this region was already Christian territory again, to fit it to the pilgrimage spirit of the epoch, much by influence of the nearby Santiago de Compostela.
As usual, this place shows besides the Romanesque architecture of the Medieval Ages, many others which were added through times, namely in the 15th and 18th century.
The main façade was profoundly changed in the 15th century fitting it into the Gothic Stile, and the inside in the 18th filling it with the splendour and wealth of the Baroque. Still, the inside was much affected in the recoveries of the 1930’s and 50’s when the architects and archaeologists decided to revive the Romanic and Medieval spirit of it. Much of its wealth was taken away to bring the simplicity of the Romanesque Stile but depriving us from the wealth of the Baroque… But it still is a magnificent place to visit filled with a beautiful atmosphere.
Still, this place has much more to show than just the church. A museum with religious treasures, as well an absolutely incredible organ and the reunion place of the Bishops with complex carved wood decoration are a must. All this are inside the Church complex allowing us to visit at the same time the older parts of the Church and other side chapels.
Mostar (Мостар) is a city and municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the center of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation. Mostar is situated on the Neretva river and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after its Old Bridge (Stari most) and the towers on its sides, "the bridge keepers" (natively: mostari).Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia following Referendum held in February 1992. The Yugoslav National Army (Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija - JNA) first bombarded City of Mostar on April 3rd, 1992 and over the following weeks, gradually established control over large portions of the City. The siege lasted for three months.The Yugoslav National Army (JNA) shelling forced tens of thousands from their homes, and resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,600 people. Amongst the destroyed historic monuments were the Karadžoz-bey mosque, Roznamed-ij-Ibrahim-efendija mosque and twelve other mosques, a Franciscan monastery, the Catholic cathedral and the bishop's palace, with a library of 50,000 books, as well as secular institutions.By June 12th 1992, the ABIH (4th Corps of Army of Bosnia Herzegovina) and HVO (Croatian Military Council supported by HOS - Hrvatske Obrambene Snage/Croatian Defence Forces) amassed enough weaponry and manpower to force the JNA troops out of Mostar.
Saborna Crkva (Orthodox Cathedral Church) largest and most beautiful Orthodox Church in Bosnia Herzegovina, built between 1863-1873, was destroyed on the night of June, 15, 1992. After the Yugoslav National Army were driven out by the Bosnian-Croat forces, the Croatian army (HVO) clashed with Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH). The campaign reduced the city to rubble - including the famous 400-year-old Stari Most Old Bridge, and resulted in the division of the city of Mostar into West Mostar (administered by Croats) and East Mostar (adminsitered by Bosniaks).
The consequences of the pogrom Barbara Oberrauch, Magdalena Plainer
Already in the 1930s, Tyrolean Jews had emigrated due to rising anti-Semitism, most of all to Palestine or to the USA. The Pogrom Night meant a turning point in the history of the Jewish Community in Tyrol and severely shook the already very small Jewish community in Innsbruck, the Jewish community largely dissolved. The board members were no longer alive, the rabbi went to Vienna, the interior of the synagogue was destroyed.
The marginalization of the Jewish population by exclusion from public life and deprivation of their livelihood has now been significantly tightened.
As a result of the terrible events many Jews drew the consequences. An incomplete list of the Federal Police Directorate Innsbruck shows that only 26 Jews from Innsbruck left Tyrol in November or December 1938 or, as it was official, came to Vienna to deregister. By the end of 1938, 22 Polish and stateless Jews had been deported. On 19 November, the Gestapo ordered the emigration and shortly thereafter has a ban of staying disposed. The surviving Tyrolean Jews were given the ultimatum to leave their homes by 15 March 1939 at the latest.
Gauleiter Hofer came very close to his goal of making Tyrol free of Jews. He managed to expel the local Jewish population and send them to Vienna, from where they were deported to the ghettos and death camps. However, occasionally Jewish refugees from Eastern Austria, Germany and Eastern Europe came to Tyrol to find refuge there.
Accompanied by the State Department JUFF Youth Office. Built from the land Tyrol
Designed by Mario Jörg Scholz - design competition "not to forget". Made by the HTL Fulpmes.
Initiated by the Parliament of the Youth of a chance for political participation for Tyrolean youth
For not to forget that prejudice, hatred, and carelessness can lead to a cruel spiral of violence, this memorial was erected in 1997.
Begleitet von der Landesabteilung JUFF Jugendreferat. Errichtet vom Land Tirol
Entworfen von Mario Jörg Scholz - Gestaltungswettbewerb "um nicht zu vergessen". Gefertigt durch die HTL Fulpmes.
Initiiert vom Landtag der Jugend einer Chance zur politische Mitsprache für Tiroler Jugendliche
Um nicht zu vergessen, dass Vorurteile, Hass und Unbesonnenheit zu einer grausamen Spirale der Gewalt führen können, wurde dieses Mahnmal 1997 errichtet.
...um nicht zu verschweigen, dass in der Nacht vom 9. zum 10. November 1938, "Reichskristallnacht" - Novemberpogrom, jüdische Mitbürger in Innsbruck ermordert wurden und ihnen viele Kinder, Frauen und Männer in den Tod folgen mussten...
Die Folgen des Pogroms Barbara Oberrauch, Magdalena Plainer
Bereits in den 1930er Jahren waren Tiroler Juden und Jüdinnen aufgrund des steigenden Antisemitismus ausgewandert, v.a. nach Palästina oder in die USA. Die Pogromnacht bedeutete einen Wendepunkt in der Geschichte der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde in Tirol und erschütterte die ohnehin sehr kleine jüdische Gemeinde in Innsbruck schwer, die Kultusgemeinde löste sich weitgehend auf. Die Vorstandsmitglieder waren nicht mehr am Leben, der Rabbi ging nach Wien, das Innere der Synagoge war zerstört.
Die Ausgrenzung der jüdischen Bevölkerung durch Ausschluss aus dem öffentlichen Leben und Entziehung ihrer Existenzgrundlage wurde nun wesentlich verschärft.
Infolge der entsetzlichen Geschehnisse zogen viele Juden und Jüdinnen die Konsequenzen. Aus einer nicht vollständigen Liste der Bundespolizeidirektion Innsbruck geht hervor, dass allein 26 Juden aus Innsbruck noch im November oder Dezember 1938 Tirol verließen oder, wie es amtlich hieß, nach Wien zur Abmeldung gelangten. Bis Jahresende 1938 wurden auch 22 polnische und staatenlose Juden abgeschoben. Am 19. November hatte die Gestapo die Auswanderung angeordnet und kurz darauf ein Aufenthaltsverbot verfügt. Den noch verbliebenen Tiroler Juden und Jüdinnen stellten die NS-Behröden das Ultimatum, bis spätestens 15. März 1939 ihre Heimat zu verlassen.
Seinem Ziel, Tirol judenfrei zu machen, kam Gauleiter Hofer sehr nahe. Es gelang ihm, die heimische jüdische Bevölkerung zu vertreiben und nach Wien zu verschicken, von wo aus sie in die Ghettos und Todeslager deportiert wurden. Allerdings gelangten immer wieder vereinzelt jüdische Flüchtlinge aus Ostösterreich, Deutschland und Osteuropa nach Tirol, um dort Unterschlupf zu finden.

The debate over the Affordable Care Act (ACA) should focus on one goal: don’t harm people. But repealing the ACA without a replacement has consequences that will hurt people across the U.S., as we describe in our new report, "GOP's Waterloo? 10 Consequences of Repealing the ACA" available here: bit.ly/2j0m92J
Above is a screenshot of part of the first page of a report about 639 High Road, Tottenham. It was written for a meeting of Haringey's "cabinet" councillors on 7 February 2012 .
The report was originally in electronic format - probably in a Microsoft Office file such as MSWord. But like many such reports for the "cabinet", Haringey staff were told to print it out on paper. It was then signed by a senior officer. Later, other staff scanned the signed version to produce a graphic file - in PDF format - for posting on the Council's website.
Yes, you read that right. A three-stage process which meant that the public get an image of a paper copy of the original digital file..
What's wrong with doing it this way?
There are several obvious disadvantages. It's a waste of money; of paper and ink; and a waste of staff time as it generates unnecessary extra work. During deep Government funding cuts to local councils and a shrinking workforce, it is stupid nonsense.
But the downside is even worse.
Printing out a text file and then scanning it as a graphic gives a hugely bloated electronic file where everything on each page is described in terms of dots. This takes longer to download and uses more space for storage on disk.
Most important, like the report fragment I've posted above, with a graphic file, the text cannot be easily searched, retrieved or indexed. At least, not without using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. Not everybody has OCR software; it's not always 100% accurate; and the process takes more time.
Hopefully as an unintended consequence - and not deliberate pigheaded obstruction - this creates another barrier for any Haringey resident trying to discover what "our" local Council is up to. In other words, it reduces transparency and accountability .
It wasn't only Haringey's Environment Department which followed this obsolete procedure. I was told that all Directorates were required to do the same.
Mary Owens (1808-1877)
Mary Owens was born to a prosperous planter, Nathaniel Owens, on his Little Brush Creek plantation in Green County, Kentucky, on September 29, 1808.
Mary and Abraham met for the first time in 1833, while she was visiting her sister Betsey Abell in New Salem, Illinois. After Mary returned home to Kentucky, Lincoln was quoted as stating that he “would marry Miss Owens if she came a second time to Illinois.”
He realized the consequences of his rash statement when Mary came to New Salem and considered herself engaged. Lincoln immediately regretted his promise, and his papers record his objections to the woman’s appearance, weight, and temperament.
Too honorable to simply break the engagement, Lincoln wrote three letters to Mary during their engagement, painting a bleak image of their future and subtly suggesting that she could do better.
...........................................................
Friend Mary
. . . I am often thinking about what we said of your coming to live at Springfield. I am afraid you would not be satisfied. There is a great deal of flourishing about in carriages here; which it would be your doom to see without sharing in it. You would have to be poor without the means of hiding your poverty. Do you believe you could bear that patiently? Whatever woman may cast her lot with mine should any ever do so, it is my intention to do all in my power to make her happy and contented; and there is nothing I can imagine, that would make me more unhappy than to fail in the effort. I know I should be much happier with you than the way I am, provided I saw no signs of discontent in you. What you have said to me may have been in jest, or I may have misunderstood it. If so, then let it be forgotten; if otherwise, I much wish you would think seriously before you decide. For my part I have already decided. What I have said I will most positively abide by, provided you wish it. My opinion is that you had better not do it. You have not been accustomed to hardship, and it may be more severe than you now imagine.
...........................................................
In a later letter to friends, in which he recounted the story of the “scrape” with humor, Lincoln said some quite unkind things about Owens’ physique.
"When I beheld her, I could not for my life avoid thinking of my mother; and this, not from withered features, for her skin was too full of fat to permit of its contracting into wrinkles, but from her want of teeth, weather-beaten appearance in general, and from a kind of notion that ran in my head that nothing could have commenced at the size of infancy and reached her present bulk in less than thirty-five or forty years ; and, in short, I was not at all pleased with her. . . . Exclusive of this, no woman that I have ever seen has a finer face. I also tried to
convince myself that the mind was much more to be valued than the person ; and in this she was not inferior, as I could discover, to any with whom I had been acquainted."
He also reserved a fair share of criticism for himself for having so thoroughly misunderstood the situation. “Others have been made fools of by the girls,” he wrote, “but this can never with truth be said of me. I most emphatically, in this instance, made a fool of myself.”
"Although I was fixed, "firm as the surge- repelling rock," in my resolution, I found I was continually repenting the rashness which had led me to make it. Through life, I have been in no bondage, either real or imaginary, from the thralldom of which I so much desired to be free.
. . . After I had delayed the matter as long as I thought I could in honor do (which, by the
way, had brought me round into the last fall), I concluded I might as well bring it to a consummation without further delay ; and so I mustered my resolution, and made the proposal to her direct ; but, shocking to relate, she answered. No.
At first I supposed she did it through an affectation of modesty, which I thought but ill became her under the peculiar circumstances of her case ; but on my renewal of the charge, I found she repelled it with greater firmness than before. I tried it again and again, but with the same success, or rather with the same want of success.
I finally was forced to give it up ; at which I very unexpectedly found myself mortified almost beyond endurance. I was mortified, it seemed to me, in a hundred different ways. My vanity was deeply wounded by the reflection that I had been too stupid to discover her intentions, and at the same time never doubting that I understood them perfectly; and also that
she, whom I had taught myself to believe nobody else would have, had actually rejected me with all my fancied greatness.
And, to cap the whole, I then for the first time began to suspect that I was really a little in love with her. But let it all go. I'll try and outlive it. Others have been made fools of by
the girls; but this can never with truth be said of me. I most emphatically, in this instance, made a fool of myself.
I have now come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying, and for this reason : I can never be satisfied with any one who would be blockhead enough to have me."
Mary Owens returned to Kentucky, married her brother-in-law, Jesse Vineyard about 1842 and had five children in Missouri. Only two children lived to adulthood. Her sons joined the Confederate army. Jesse Vineyard was killed in the Civil War
Mary Owens Vineyard later admitted to William Herndon: "I think I did on one occasion say to my sister, who was very anxious for us to be married, that I thought Mr. Lincoln was deficient in those little links which make up the great chain of womans happiness."14 She cited as evidence a horseback ride to "Uncle Billy Greens, Mr. L. was riding with me, and we had a very bad branch to cross, the other gentlemen were very officious in seeing that their partners got over safely; we were behind, he riding in never looking back to see how I got along; when I rode up beside him, I remarked, you are a nice fellow; I suppose you did not care whether my neck was broken or not. He laughingly replied, (I suppose by way of compliment) that he knew I was plenty smart to take care of myself."
She herself tried to "bend" Mr. Lincoln to test his "love," according to her cousin Johnson Gaines Greene. One day, when she learned from a messenger boy that Mr Lincoln was coming to the Abell's farm to see her, Mary deliberately went instead to Mentor Graham's house.
Now every day is washing day.
Roll on spring, this is the first day this year that I've actually been able to dry things on the washing line. The vernal equinox approaches...

That’s what it’s about, making stories come alive and enjoying them in the dark with strangers…
One consequence of having tried to avoid well known photographic locations is that - paradoxically - one's own offerings can become a bit repetitive when assembling a collection like this if, like me, you relied on favourite local haunts. So, that's my excuse for showing my interpretation of a well known view for the Edinburgh to Fort William Sleeper Train in 2006. The area around Achallader has scenery as stunning as any to be found in in Scotland - as worthy a backdrop as any for a Class 37!

I was really amazed to see how hot the Mercedes heat exchanger was
getting from my trip today. At one point while driving around
Albuquerque I measured this temperature of 171.5. This is just before
the heated filter which ties into the cars injection pump.
The nature and pace of climate changes being observed today and the consequences projected by consensus scientific opinion are serious and pose severe risks for our national security. The CNA Military Advisory Board (MAB), a group of more than a dozen admirals and generals from all four branches of the U.S. military, first published a report on these threats in 2007. After nearly a decade of advances in scientific understanding and slow, or in many cases non-existent, reactions to projected changes, the MAB felt compelled to provide an update.
A strong call for action has been issued with the newly released 5th IPCC report, which illustrates the high environmental and security risks imposed by climate change. This call for action extends to the role of demographers in anticipating how climate change will interact with demographic factors such as population growth, women’s empowerment, age-structure, migration, and urbanization. At the same time, it’s important to address the population, environment, and security implications of extreme weather events and climate variability. Join us in a discussion with leading researchers to identify the critical questions and gaps in understanding what needs to be addressed, and how a population perspective can contribute to the development of effective adaptation strategies in Africa.

Right now there is a Golden Orb in my back yard I call “My Friend”. She is really large and I have been getting my face very close taking these photos with the Canon S3 IS. I am happy with the results. This spider is more than 8 inches across (around 215 mm) counting its legs. Some information about this weaver spider:-
Golden-Orb Spider (Nephila pilipes)
The family of Orb-Weaver Spiders is unusual in showing a marked size difference between the two sexes. The bodies of the males are only 6mm long but the females are giants, with bodies up to 60mm long and leg-spans reaching 200mm or more. The female can be 600 times bigger than the male. Populations living further from the equator tend to be smaller, possibly because of the shorter growing season.
The females build large webs, in open areas often high in forests. The web is a vertical oval made up of a golden spiral bridged by colourless radiating threads; the oval is suspended by colourless threads from the surrounding vegetation (or structures) which may be meters away.
These spiders eat flies, beetles, butterflies and other flying insects that become ensnared in their webs. Leftovers of meals, such as the exoskeletons (skins) of insects are left hanging in the web (and are visible in the photograph).
E.J. Banfield, a naturalist who lived on Dunk Island in Queensland, wrote in 1918 about indigenous people using these webs for fishing. “The end of a stick was twisted in the web to attach the web to it, then the stick was waved about to spin the web into a single line about a metre long. The spider was squashed onto the end of the line and trailed in the water. Fish that attacked the bait became attached by their mouths and were taken. The breaking strain of the line was estimated at about 0.3kg but this was of no real consequence because the fish that were being caught were only about 4cm long. However, the method was successful enough to yield 17 fish in 10 minutes of observation.”
Spider silk is highly elastic and very strong for its weight. Different types of silk are exuded from different glands in the abdomen. In the web of the Golden-Orb Spider, the golden spiral is sticky but other threads are not. Silk is exuded as a liquid but quickly solidifies, remaining highly elastic and very strong for its weight. Because of these unique properties, many laboratories are working on production of this silk by genetic engineering.
Reproduction in the Orb-Weaver Spiders is not a straightforward affair. The web is occupied by a single female and several hopeful males. Although it might not be true of Nephila pilipes, in the related species, Nephila plumipes, 60% of males are eaten during or after sex! It appears that the larger males are more likely to be eaten, which probably explains their small size. However, males that have been eaten generally have copulated for longer, so that more of their sperm fertilize eggs. These males leave more offspring, passing on more genes into the next generation and contributing to their biological success.
In Nephila fenestrata, some males copulate with females that are preoccupied with feeding. These males are even more successful because they have long copulations while the female is eating, thereby transferring more sperm. Not only this, but they survive the event to defend the female from fertilization by other males as well as having the opportunity to mate again!
The female digs a pit in the ground into which she deposits the fluffy yellow egg sac and covers it with soil and leaves. After hatching, the spiderlings quickly make their way up trees and other structures.
This species was first described by the Danish entomologist, Johan Fabricius, in 1793. A pupil of Linnaeus, the Swedish scientist who devised the basis of modern biological classification, Fabricius went on to become a professor at the University of Kiel (which was in Denmark at that time), publishing several important works on insects.
The Golden-Orb Spider is found in the northern parts of Australia as well as in South-East Asia and in the Papua-New Guinea region.
November 18, 2010 - "Roles for Third Parties in Improving Implementation of EPA's and OSHA's Regulations on the Management of Low-Probability, High-Consequence Process Safety Risks" - Penn Program on Regulation, in conjunction with the Wharton Risk Management Center, hosted a conference regarding the usage of third party auditors in the enforcement of regulatory safety measures in high risk industries. Industries which experts call "Low-Probability, High-Consequence," such as nuclear reactors, oil refineries, or chemical processing plants, are specifically hoped to be improved by third party inspections safety. The conference brought together numerous participants from a variety of fields, including from government, industry, insurance, academia, and non-profit sectors. The conference consisted of a day-long discussion spread over three separate panels. Over the course of the conference, participants stressed the importance of implementing a third party system to effectively and thoroughly audit industry despite lack of adequate funds and resources. Other potential scenarios offered for enacting effective third party auditing included making sure that these third party auditors were completely independent from the industries they would be inspecting so as to eliminate bias or a conflict of interest. Another issue to consider is the question of whose authority would the third party auditors be under and what kind of enforcement power would they have to enforce industry change. One of the panel discussions brought up the potential linkage of third party audits with insurance companies so as to provide an incentive for industry to decrease safety risks in order to pay lower insurance premiums. Workshop participants included Isadore "Irv" Rosenthal, a Senior Research Fellow at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center; Howard Kunreuther, James G. Dinan Professor of Business and Public Policy at Wharton and Co-Director of the Wharton Risk Center; Laurie Miller, Senior Director of Environment and Process Safety at the American Chemistry Council; Erwann O. Michel-Kerjan, Managing Director of the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center; Scott Berger, Executive Director of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers; Don Nguyen, a Principal Process Safety Management Engineer at Siemens Energy, Inc.; Mike Marshall, Process Safety Management Coordinator at the Directorate of Enforcement Programs at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) within the United States Department of Labor; Cary Coglianese, Edward B. Shils Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and Director of the Penn Program on Regulation; Bob Whitmore, Former Chief of OSHA Division of Recordkeeping at the United States Department of Labor; Jim Belke, Chemical Engineer at the Office of Emergency Prevention and Member of the Office of Chemical Preparedness within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); William Doerr, FM Global Research Area Director; Manuel Gomez, Director of Recommendations at the U.S. Chemical Safety Board; Tim Cillessen, Manager of Sales and Marketing at Siemens Energy, Inc.; Mike Wright, Director of Health, Safety, and Environment at United Steelworkers; Jennifer Nash, Affiliated Researcher of Nanotechnology and Society Research Group at Northeastern University and the Associate Director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, Executive Director of Regulatory Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School of Government; Michael Perron, Senior Vice President of Willis Re New York.
"The papacy inspires the same sentiment like the Roman goddess, Queen of Heaven, and leads its followers to consider Eve's sin in the same way as paganism did. as paganism. In the canon of the Mass, the most solemn service in the Roman
missal, we find the following expression in the apostrophe to the fault of our first parents:
"O beata culpa,quas talem meruisti Redemptorem!"
O blessed fault, which has provided us with such a Redeemer. -
The idea contained in these words is entirely pagan. Here's what they boil down to: "Thanks be to Eve, whose fault whose fault has obtained for us the glorious Savior." -
The idea of a primordial tradition emerged in Germany in the early 19th century as a consequence of the discovery of the great Eastern sacred texts: it enabled the universal claims of the biblical narrative to be transposed by assigning it a common ancestor with India, Persia and China. In fact, his approach remained marked by his Catholic training and the notion of apostolic tradition based on the two sources of truth: the Scriptures and transmission through the chain of the priesthood."This is the great connection between the physical and the and the spiritual, the earthly and the supersensible, which he wanted to present, as well as the way, which the

This is a question that man must always ask himself. Schiller had presented this problem in his own witty way in the "Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man".
This treatise, only little known and studied, is a
treasure trove for the one who sets out to solve this riddle. Goethe was inspired by it to express himself on the same question and he did so in the fairy tale "Green Snake and the beautiful Lily", which he later added to the "Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten" (conversations of German emigrants). The fairy tale "Green Snake and the beautiful lily" shows the development of the human soul to ever higher insight,
All human soul forces can develop, not only the human thinking faculty. All soul forces, also feeling and willing, can penetrate into the objective secrets of the world. But they must learn to

"In itself, the reality which we now call 'Christian religion' existed even among the ancients, and was present from the beginning of the human race until Christ came in the flesh; and it is in consequence of this coming, that the true religion existing from all time, began to be called Christian."
- Saint Augustine, Retractaciones, I, XII, 3
"My heart has become capable of every form: it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks, and a temple for idols, and the Kaabah of the pilgrim, and the table of the Thorah and the book of the Qorân. I am the religion of Love, whatever road its camels take; my religion and my faith are the true religion."
Ibn Arabi (Tarjumân al-Ashwâq)
"As far as religions are concerned, only transcendent unity, achieved from above, is valid: the unity that results from the recognition of the One Tradition beyond its various particular and historical forms, the recognition of the constant metaphysical contents that present themselves in various guises - like so many translations into several "languages" - in the world's multiple religions and sacred traditions. The prerequisite, then, is an "esoteric" understanding of what manifests itself in the confusing and sometimes contradictory variety of religions and traditions. Encounter, therefore, can only take place at the top, at the level of elites capable of grasping the inner, transcendent dimension of the various traditions; then unity would automatically follow, and "dialogues" could take place without disturbing the limits proper to each tradition at the level of "base" and external doctrine. But there is nothing of the kind in the recent reformist initiatives that have given rise to "ecumenical euphoria". It's essentially a matter of simple tolerance that more or less renounces dogma."
Julius Evola (1898-1974)
For René Guénon, religious practice in general concerns only the exoteric, essentially social and moral, aspect of the Primordial Tradition. His knowledge is therefore intended to go beyond the religious point of view, without denying it, but assuming it in its entirety19. Epistemologically speaking, for traditionalists, metaphysical knowledge is not simply a matter of reason, but of intellectual intuition, which is supra-rational20. Knowledge of this hidden truth is therefore aimed at "metaphysical realization" through traditional initiatory rites that are distinct from mere religious rites and inaccessible to the majority. Christianity is, however, an exception for Frithjof Schuon and Jean Borella, for whom Christian sacraments are indeed initiatory. Be that as it may, the Traditional Method is in many respects a "method which is the opposite of a method, since it maintains the secrets, the trials". Beyond his rejection of modernity, Guénon rejected the autonomy and primacy of reason, in contradiction to the entire evolution of Western thought since the end of the Middle Ages, in favor of a purely spiritual "intellectual intuition". Such an approach led him to view the entire cosmos as an illusion destined to dissolve into divine unity at the end of time. These choices gave rise to two complementary features essential to the development of his system: 1) the existence of an original revealed datum, which the work of reason had first commented on and then distorted, and which he called "primordial Tradition", long predating Judeo-Christianity; a tradition handed down from master to disciple since the dawn of time; 2) the central role attributed to the forces of evil, the only "motor of history" driving the world into a slow, ineluctable "descent".
The concept of "intellectual intuition" is rather difficult to grasp. Guénon also rejects mysticism. Does this "intellectual intuition" correspond to the spirit of the classical body-soul-spirit triptych (with reason referring to the body and mysticism to the soul)? Things change when we consider, beyond the method of approach, the nature of knowledge: what Guénon calls pure intellectual intuition is immediate access to "Deity", to use Master Eckhardt's language, beyond the revealed God. It refers to that identification with God himself which led the Sufi master al-Hallaj to martyrdom, and to what other great spiritualists, recognized by Guénon himself as esoteric, have called mysticism.

The Two Babylons, subtitled Romanism and its Origins, is a book that started out as a religious pamphlet published in 1853 by the Presbyterian Free Church of Scotland theologian Alexander Hislop (1807–65). Its central theme is the argument that the Catholic Church is the Babylon of the Apocalypse which is described in the Bible.[1] The book delves into the symbolism of the image which is described in the Book of Revelation – the woman with the golden cup – and it also attempts to prove that many of the fundamental practices of the Church of Rome, and its Modus Operandi in general, stem from non-scriptural precedents. It analyzes modern Catholic holidays, including Christmas and Easter, and attempts to trace their roots back to pagan festivals. It also attempts to show that many other accepted doctrines (such as Jesus' crucifixion on a Cross) may not be correct. Hislop provides a detailed comparison of the ancient religion which was established in Babylon (allegedly by the Biblical king Nimrod and his wife, Semiramis) by drawing on a variety of historical and religious sources, in order to show that the modern Papacy and the Catholic Church are the same system as the Babylon that was mentioned by the apostle Paul in the first century (when he commented on the iniquity that was already creeping into the 1st century Christian church and the author of Revelation. Most modern scholars have rejected the book's arguments as erroneous and based on a flawed understanding of the Babylonian religion, but variations of them are accepted among some groups of Christian religious evangelical Protestants. The book was expanded in 1858, going through many editions. A 3rd edition was published in 1862, a 7th in 1871, (thus, a mere six years after the author's death, four successive posthumous editions had already appeared), and a popular edition in 1903.
Description
Hislop builds on the Panbabylonian school of Hyperdiffusionism, which was common in the 19th century, to argue that Classical and Ancient Near Eastern civilization took its inspiration from Babylon. From this he derives the argument that the mystery religions of Late Antiquity were actually offshoots of one ancient religion founded at the Tower of Babel. Panbabylonism has since been relegated to pseudohistory by 20th-century scholars. Much of Hislop's work centers on his association of the legendary Ninus and his semi-historical wife Semiramis with the Biblical Nimrod as her husband and her son, with their incestuous male offspring being Tammuz. Hellenistic histories of the Ancient Near East tended to conflate their faint recollections of the deeds of ancient kings into legendary figures who exerted far more power than any ancient king ever did. In Assyria, they invented an eponymous founder of Nineveh named Ninus, who supposedly ruled 52 years over an empire comparable to the Persian Empire at its greatest extent. Ninus' wife Semiramis was in turn a corruption of the historical figure Shammuramat, regent of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 811 BC.[10] Hislop takes Ninus as a historical figure and associates him with the Biblical figure Nimrod, though he was not the first to do so. The Clementine literature made the association in the 4th Century AD. An influential belief throughout the Middle Ages was that Ninus was the inventor of idolatry,[11] a concept that Hislop clearly drew upon. However, Hislop wrote before the historical records of the ancient near east had been thoroughly decoded and studied, that cast doubt in the decades after he wrote whether there was any such figure as Ninus, and the Greek authors whom he quoted lacked credibility on the subject. The Two Babylons heavily relies on Austen Henry Layard's publications of his excavations at Nineveh, which had only been just discovered in 1851. This gave his work an appearance of being well-researched at the time of its publication. For example, Hislop linked the name of Easter with Astarte, the Phoenician fertility goddess by citing Layard's recent discovery of Astarte's Assyrian name, Ishtar, which Hislop took to be "identical" to Easter. What means the term Easter itself? It is not a Christian name. It bears its Chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, as pronounced by the people Nineveh, was evidently identical with that now in common use in this country. That name, as found by Layard on the Assyrian monuments, is Ishtar.
Relief of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, whose name Hislop incorrectly claimed to be the root behind the English word Easter
Hislop's claim that Easter is derived from Ishtar is rejected by historical linguists and is an example of folk etymology. Philologists derive the word Easter from Old English Ēostre, the name of a West Germanic goddess. Ēostre derives from the Proto-Germanic goddess name *austrōn-, whose name in turn derives from the Proto-Indo-European deity and personified dawn *h₂ewsṓs (from the Proto-Indo-European root *aus-, meaning 'to shine' and thus 'dawn, east'). Other dawn goddesses who developed from *h₂ewsṓs include Latin Aurora, Ancient Greek Eos, and Vedic Sanskrit Ushas.[14][15][16] Ishtar, however, is unrelated. Ishtar is a Semitic name of uncertain etymology, possibly taken from the same root as Assyria, or from a semitic word meaning "to irrigate". Hislop ultimately claimed to trace Catholic doctrines back to the worship of Nimrod, asserting that the Catholic Church represented Whore of Babylon of the Book of Revelation and that "the Pope himself is truly and properly the lineal representative of Belshazzar." He claimed that the Christogram IHS, the first three Greek letters in the name of Jesus, represented Latin characters standing for Isis, Horus and Seb.
Analysis
In the note by the editor of the 7th edition, which was published in 1871, it was claimed, "that no one, so far as we are aware, has ventured to challenge the accuracy of the historical proofs adduced in support of the startling announcement on the title page." Since then, however, there have been many who have challenged the accuracy of Hislop's claims. For example, Lester L. Grabbe has highlighted the fact that Hislop's entire argument, particularly his association of Ninus with Nimrod, is based on a misunderstanding of historical Babylon and its religion.[4] Grabbe also criticizes Hislop for portraying the mythological queen Semiramis as Nimrod's consort, despite the fact that she is never even mentioned in a single text associated with him, and for portraying her as the "mother of harlots",[4] even though this is not how she is depicted in any of the texts where she is mentioned. In 2011, a critical edition was published. Although Hislop's work is extensively footnoted, some commentators (in particular Ralph Woodrow) have made the assertion that the document contains numerous misconceptions, fabrications, logical fallacies, unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, and grave factual errors.
Influence
Some fundamentalist Protestants still regard Hislop's book as proof that the Roman Catholic Church is, in fact, the continuation of the ancient Babylonian religion. In 1921 A. W. Pink confidently asserted that Hislop's work had "proven conclusively that all the idolatrous systems of the nations had their origin in what was founded by that mighty Rebel, the beginning of whose kingdom was Babel."[20] Jehovah's Witnesses' periodical The Watchtower frequently published excerpts from it until the 1980s.[21][better source needed] The book's thesis has also featured prominently in the conspiracy theories of racist groups such as The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord and other fringe groups. Anti-Catholic Evangelical publisher Jack Chick endorsed the book, and his store still offers it. non-primary source needed] A number of Seventh-day Adventists still use The Two Babylons as source material. An example is the somewhat controversial Walter Veith, who still use the conclusions from Hislop's book to support his articles published at the website "Amazing Discoveries". Adventist magazine Spectrum, however, dismisses Veith as a conspiracy theorist. As well, various viral image posts have appeared on the internet, usually in neopagan or atheist spaces, citing Hislop's theory of Easter being etymologically derived from Ishtar, as well as adding in more misleading pieces such as claiming Ishtar's symbols were the "bunny" and the "egg". This view has been echoed by the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science, who has since redacted the claim.[

This book has been reissued many times. Its first publication was in 1916. The edition I read was printed in 1965. The title has one of those old lengthy subtitles underneath it: “Or, the Papal worship proved to be the worship of Nimrod and his wife.” I guess the subtitle about sums it up. The author carefully examines the various elements of Roman Catholicism and concludes in each case that it has its foundation in the ancient religion and practices of old Babylon as opposed to New Testament Christianity. The topics covered include: mitres, robes, candles, rosaries, statues, crosses, fishes, festivals, doctrines, developments and much more. It is pretty comprehensive, at least up until the date when it was written. The book will also go some way to explaining the origins of ‘the gods’ showing that they were founded upon the patriarchs and their deeds. The style of this book is more suited to academics and particularly those who are familiar with classical mythology. Neither of which describes myself and I would have to admit that much of the finer detail went over my head. The book can be made easier to comprehend and considerably shortened by not reading the frequent and lengthy footnotes. Why am I recommending this book? Well, quite simply the subject matter in hand is of such vital importance to God’s children. Many through woeful ignorance have been seduced into thinking that Catholicism is somehow ‘Christian’. This book is something of a standard work when it comes to exposing, not just a few ‘errors’ in Catholicism, but the entire system for what it is really all about. From both history and doctrine Mr Hislop shows overwhelmingly that the origins and practices of this religion are founded upon ancient Babylonian mysticism. Whether it is through this particular book or one of the many others that have been ably written on this subject I think that every one who is a believer in the biblical Gospel should acquaint himself with the facts of what that religion is really all about. There is no inference whatsoever in this book that anyone should have cause to despise catholic people. It focuses purely on the facts of the development of the system and concludes, just as many others do, that God has one specific word to those who are caught up with this ‘Alternative Church’ – “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins.” In conclusion, this particular book may not be the one for everyone on this subject, but those with a slightly more academic bent will appreciate the carefully researched detail and its presentation.

Primordial Tradition is Perennialism's idea that a single metaphysical truth intrinsically links all sacred traditions to an original revelation, the cause of which is non-human (divine). This truth, intrinsic to all traditions, constitutes the unique "Universal and Unanimous Tradition "1, which can be discovered through the multiple symbolic, mythical and ritual correspondences shared by the various sacred traditions of mankind.Developing the concept of Perennis Philosophia, the concept of Primordial Tradition has been theorized and problematized in contemporary times by the "School of Tradition "2 . This school is made up of writers, philosophers, anthropologists, historians and essayists from various religious denominations, whose founder and principal representative is the metaphysician René Guénon. For him, Primordial Tradition refers to humanity's oldest tradition, of meta-historical origin, which is "common to all authentic and 'orthodox' traditions, whose traces and signs appear very legibly in the symbols, rites and myths "3 of the various "traditional forms" or observable religions. Primordial Tradition is a concept that refers to the founding myths of mankind's various sacred traditions, such as the earthly paradise of the Bible, the Golden Age of Greco-Roman mythology or the Hindu krita yugaAS 1. Intimately linked to intuitive and intellectual knowledge of the "Ultimate Principle", Primordial Tradition thus designates a state of spiritual being that man lost during the Fall, and which he must regainAS 2 through metaphysical knowledge, both speculative (oral or written teaching) and operative (ritual initiation). The traditionalist imaginary is thus attentive to what each observable orthodox tradition says, and draws from their common account of a golden age the conclusion of a "Revelation, or primitive illumination of human thought". The starting point is therefore that the unity of the Principle of reality, God, is matched by the unity of a primordial revelation, expressed and revealed in the various sacred traditions of mankind. The traditionalist therefore gives equal credence to the accounts of the different "religions" as legitimate testimonies to the same original metaphysical experience. The "Traditional Method" thus endeavours to "discover an essential unity or equivalence of symbols, forms, myths, dogmas and disciplines beyond the varied expressions that the contents may have in the different historical traditions", with the aim of "bringing out the universal character of a symbol or teaching by comparing it with other corresponding symbols belonging to other traditions, in order to establish the presence of something superior and anterior to each of these formulations, different from each other, but nevertheless equivalent". The School of Tradition's approach is therefore not limited to the religious realm, but penetrates what it considers to be its inner, metaphysical aspect. From this perspective, the "synthesis" it intends to make of the various doctrinal expressions is not a "syncretism", as it does not intend to mix rites, symbols or myths, but to draw comparisons between them. Indeed, "Syncretism consists in bringing together, from the outside, elements that are more or less disparate and which, seen in this way, can never really be unified; in short, it's just a kind of eclecticism, with all that eclecticism always entails in terms of fragmentation and incoherence. This is something purely external and superficial; the elements taken from all sides and brought together artificially in this way only ever have the character of borrowings, incapable of being effectively integrated into a doctrine worthy of the name. Synthesis, on the other hand, is essentially performed from within; by this we mean that it properly consists in considering things in the unity of their very principle, in seeing how they derive and depend on this principle, and thus uniting them, or rather becoming aware of their real union, by virtue of a link that is all interior, inherent in what is deepest in their nature."

There are always consequences to all your actions. Eddie learned that lesson today....again. He rubbed in some gross animal stuff. He was due for a shower anyway.
The clock that controls the lives of migrating birds (like hummingbirds) pays no attention to what we humans do or when we do it. When it's time to go, it's time to go.
As promised, I stopped feeding the hummingbirds in October. Not because I don't love having them around, but because I do. Even if I were willing to feed them all year long (and I would..), they would only die when it got cold. So actually it would be selfish and cruel to continue feeding them.
The migration is dangerous and tough for these guys, and some won't make it, I'm sure. But that *is* the way of the world, whether we like it or not. And mucking around with the way of the world always, always has "unforeseen consequences"..
Always.
The biggest consequence of the square in Kinetic Energy is that a car going fast becomes a more dangerous object at a very rapid rate. Here are some numbers calculating kinetic energy for two identical cars: one going 20m/s and one going twice as fast. You can see that the 40 m/s car doesn't have twice the energy, but FOUR TIMES the energy. The right half of this slide shows that since brakes stop cars with a constant force, this means that for the twice as fast car, it needs FOUR TIMES the stopping distance. Don't speed in school zones, y'all.
