Plato's Cave
Seeking Truth in a World of Propaganda.
"Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses." -Plato
Links do not necessarily indicate agreement with stories or perspectives.
The problem is no longer who was legitimately elected President of the United States, but how long can the civil war be postponed? Far from being a fight between a narcissistic TV presenter and a senile old man, the country is being torn apart over a fundamental cultural issue that has been smouldering since its inception.
Here we are: the disaster that has been predictable for the past 30 years is looming. The United States is heading inexorably toward secession and civil war.
Since the demise of the USSR, the "American Empire" no longer had an existential enemy and therefore no reason to exist. The attempt by George H. Bush (the father) and Bill Clinton to give the country a new life with the globalization of trade has destroyed the middle classes in the USA and in almost all of the West. The attempt of George W. Bush (son) and Barack Obama to organize the world around a new form of capitalism – financial this time – has been bogged down in the sands of Syria.
It is too late to turn the tide. Donald Trump's attempt to abandon the American Empire and refocus the country's efforts on its domestic prosperity has been sabotaged by the elites acquired to the puritanical ideology of the "Pilgrim Fathers". As a result, the moment so feared by Richard Nixon and his election adviser Kevin Philipps has arrived: the United States is on the brink of secession and civil war.
What I am writing is not a fantasy, but the analysis of many observers in the United States and around the world. For example, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has just declared Donald Trump's election fraud appeal inadmissible, not on legal grounds, but because "it would open Pandora's box.
In fact, contrary to the misrepresentation of events that dominates the international press, either the outgoing president's appeals are judged in law and he is obviously right, or they are judged in politics and proving him right will provoke civil war. But the conflict is already too far advanced. Judging him politically in defiance of the law will also provoke civil war.
We must stop interpreting the presidential election as a rivalry between Democrats and Republicans, whereas Donald Trump has never claimed to be a member of the Republican Party, which he stormed during his 2016 campaign. He is not an enlightened man, but a successor to President Andrew Jackson (1829-37). Yes, ideologically, the latter prefigured the "Southerners," the "Confederates.
Just because Andrew Jackson is ignored in Europe does not mean that he is a marginal figure in American history. His portrait appears on the $20 bill, which he vetoed at the Federal Reserve.
We must stop pretending that Donald Trump does not represent the majority of his fellow citizens when he was first elected president in 2016, when he has just helped thousands of candidates win local elections in his name, and when he has just won millions more votes than in 2016.
No one in Europe seems to dare to see what is happening in front of us, because everyone clings to the idea of a United States that is a paragon of democracy. Please read the US Constitution, it will only take you a few minutes. It recognizes the sovereignty of the Federated States, not of the People. Its main designer, Alexander Hamilton, said it and wrote in the Federalist Papers: its purpose is to establish a regime comparable to the British monarchy without aristocracy, certainly not a democracy.
This constitution lasted two centuries only because of the compromise of the First Ten Amendments (Bill of Rights). But in this age of globalization of information, everyone can see that the dice are loaded. This system is certainly tolerant, but oligarchic. In the United States, almost all laws are drafted by organized pressure groups, regardless of who is elected to Congress and the White House. The political staff is just a smokescreen that hides the real Power. Every decision of every politician is noted by these groups and directories compiling their docility are published every year.
The Europeans, who want to represent the United States as a democratic nation, keep claiming that the presidential election is a matter for the electorate. This is absolutely false. The constitution does not provide for the election of the federal president in the second degree by the people, but by an electoral college appointed by the governors. Over time, governors have ended up holding elections in their states before choosing the members of the Electoral College. Some have agreed to include it in their local constitutions, but not all. In the end, the federal Supreme Court doesn't care, as it did when George W. Bush v. Al Gore was appointed 20 years ago. It explicitly stated that the potential election rigging that had taken place in Florida was not within its jurisdiction.
In that context, Donald Trump would probably have won the 2020 election if the United States were a democracy, but he lost because it's an oligarchy and the politicians don't want him.
The Jacksonians, supporters of democracy, have no choice but to take up arms to make their cause triumph, as the Second Amendment to their Constitution explicitly provides. In the original sense of the Second Amendment, the right of Americans to acquire and bear all manner of weapons of war is intended to enable them to rebel against a tyrannical government, as they did against the British monarchy. This is the meaning of the compromise of 1789, which the majority of them considered to have been broken.
General Michael Flynn, the short-lived National Security Advisor, has just called for the suspension of the constitution and the introduction of martial law to prevent civil war. The Pentagon, whose head was replaced a month ago by the outgoing president in favour of friends of the general, is standing by.
Donald Trump, meanwhile, announced that he will appear before the Texas court that will rule on local election fraud. Texas is one of two states that formed an independent republic before joining the United States. But when it joined, it retained a right to opt out. In 2009, then Governor Rick Perry threatened to secede. This idea is still going strong. Today, the local Congress is expected to decide on Representative Kyle Biedermann's proposal for an independence referendum.
The process of dissolution of the United States could be faster than that of the USSR. It was studied at the time in Moscow by Professor Igor Panarin. Demographics have changed since then and have been analyzed by Colin Woodard. The country would then be split into 11 separate states on a cultural basis.
The 11 rival cultural communities that share the United States today.
To these problems are added the complaints against the legislatures of some 20 states that passed laws during the Covid-19 outbreak governing elections in a manner contrary to their own constitutions. If these appeals, which are legally founded, are successful, they will have to annul not only the presidential election, but all local elections (parliamentary, sheriffs, prosecutors, etc.). It will not be possible to verify the alleged facts in Texas and elsewhere until the Federal Electoral Council meeting. Texas and other states with similar appeals, as well as those that will have to annul the election, will therefore not be able to participate in the nomination of the next President of the United States. In such a case, the only substitution procedure that applies is for the new Congress, in which the Puritans are in the minority and the Jacksonians are in the majority.

"So in our timidity, let each of us make a choice: Whether consciously, to remain a servant of falsehood—of course, it is not out of inclination, but to feed one's family, that one raises his children in the spirit of lies—or to shrug off the lies and become an honest man worthy of respect both by one's children and contemporaries."
- A. Solzhenitsyn
"Complaining about the existence of conspiracy theories is power-serving behavior. Instead, complain about the existence of government, corporate and financial secrecy which causes people to form speculative theories about what the powerful are up to behind that veil of opacity.
"They concentrate all the power in these tiny little elitist circles, then say 'You don't get to know what we're doing with all our power over here. Not only that, but you don't even get to talk to each other about what we might be doing, even though it could directly affect you.'
"How crazy is that? At the very least don't play along with them and police each other about it on top of that.
"It's fine to discuss and debate the validity of individual theories (I do it all the time), but to complain about the fact that people form theories about possible conspiracies when we know for a fact that powerful people conspire is just infantile."

"In a country where opinion has sway, to seize upon it, is to seize upon power.

Strict Fiscal Oversight Keeps New Jersey Cities Out Of Bankruptcy
Mark J. Magyar | July 22, 2013 | Budget, More Issues, Politics
Detroit's fiscal disaster raises questions about adequacy of state pension funding
Detroit's bankruptcy sent shock waves through political circles and intensified the debate over whether state and local pension systems are underfunded, but don't look for Camden or other distressed New Jersey cities to follow Detroit into bankruptcy court, municipal finance experts said.
While more than 20 counties and municipalities and authorities in 10 states have filed bankruptcy since 2003 because of poor financial practices or unsustainable pension debt, New Jersey has not had a local government bankruptcy since the Great Depression.
"Camden in many ways is in worse shape than Detroit, but Camden isn't in bankruptcy and isn't going to go into bankruptcy," said Marc Pfeiffer, assistant director of the Local Government Research Center at Rutgers University's Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.
"While New Jersey has a few municipalities that are severely distressed, we are considered one of the better states in oversight and managing funds, and it's a system that continues to work. The states where municipalities have gone bankrupt were those with a lack of oversight and limited engagement by the state government until it's too late," said Pfeiffer, who spent more than 20 years tracking New Jersey municipal finances before retiring last year as deputy director of the state Department of Community Affairs' Division of Local Government Finance.
Camden, Paterson, Trenton, Harrison, and Asbury Park are all under supervision by the state's Local Government Finance Board and part of a special transition aid program "designed to keep municipalities afloat," Pfeiffer said, and both Harrison and Salem City are under close fiscal supervision because of problems with development bonds.
"A bankruptcy like Detroit just isn't going to happen in New Jersey," agreed Jon Moran, the New Jersey State League of Municipalities' longtime legislative director. "Here in New Jersey, for a community to declare bankruptcy, you have to get approval from the Local Government Finance Board, and before it gets to that point, the Board and the Director of the Division of Local Government Services will already have taken steps to fix the problem."
New Jersey's centralized system of six state-administered pension funds providing benefits for all of the hundreds of thousands of employees of state, county and municipal governments, school districts, public colleges and authorities also provides more stability than states with dozens or even hundreds of locally administered pension systems.
Fully Funded Pensions
However, the Detroit bankruptcy's application of new national pension liability standards that revealed a $3.5 billion hole in two Detroit pension systems that were previously thought to have a manageable $734 million liability does raise questions about whether New Jersey is on track to fully fund its pension system even after the passage of the 2011 pension bill championed by Gov. Chris Christie and Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester).
Designed to make up for almost 15 years of state underfunding, the new pension law has created a budget nightmare by forcing the state to pump at least an additional $600 million each year into the pension system under a seven-year ramp-up to "full funding" of pension benefits that will cost taxpayers as much as $5.5 billion a year by Fiscal Year 2018. Those calculations, however, are based upon the same actuarial methods that previously estimated Detroit's pension liability at $734 million.
The new Governmental Accounting Standards Board has adopted more conservative standards that would drastically increase the size of New Jersey's current state and local government unfunded pension liability, which was most recently projected to be more than $43 billion under the old method.
The new GASB rules do not require New Jersey to change its pension contribution formula for the state, county, and municipal governments – which remains a state decision — but it does require state and local governments to report what their pension liabilities would be under the new GASB principles whenever they issue new government debt.
The Christie-Sweeney pension overhaul, which increased employee pension contributions at the same time that it set a seven-year schedule to ramp up state pension funding, strengthened the state's legal commitment to retirees to fund their pension payments — although the inability to bind spending by future governors and legislatures forces state bond prospectuses to routinely contain warnings that "no assurances can be given as to the level of the state's pension contributions in future fiscal years."
That is why union officials in New Jersey and across the country are closely watching the Detroit case to see if it sets a national precedent for whether state or local governments can get out of paying their full pension obligations in the event of dire fiscal hardship.
[page]
Detroit's state-appointed emergency manager proposed paying both regular creditors and pensioners just 10 cents on the dollar in order to maintain funding for vital police and fire services in the city budget, but both creditors and the unions refused, so the city went ahead and declared bankruptcy.
"The lesson here is that ignoring the reality of what these benefits require for funding can lead cities with weak finances into a ditch. 'A Perfect Storm' scenario," said Eileen Norcross, Senior Research Fellow at George Mason University's Mercatus Institute who has written extensively about pension finance liabilities in a half-dozen states, including New Jersey.
"It's war," George Orzech, who heads Detroit's Police and Fire pension fund, declared after the unions filed a petition challenging the city's right to declare bankruptcy, which they view as an effort to avoid paying pensions whose sanctity is guaranteed in the Michigan State Constitution — which should provide stronger legal protection than New Jersey's pension statutes and the current body of contract law.
Saying 'No' to Stockton
Central Falls, RI, slashed its pension benefits by 55 percent when overwhelming pension liabilities pushed the small town into bankruptcy, and Pritchard, AL, also cut benefits after declaring bankruptcy. But a federal bankruptcy judge barred Stockton, CA, a city of 300,000 whose 2012 bankruptcy was the nation's largest before Detroit, from cutting its pension benefits.
Stockton is part of the massive California Public Employees Retirement System (CALPERS), just as New Jersey municipalities are part of the New Jersey Public Employees Retirement System and the New Jersey Police and Fire Retirement System, and the judge ruled that California state law forbid any alteration of CALPERS benefits, even though other creditors would have to take less money as a result.
Pfeiffer noted that Stockton got into trouble by issuing too many development bonds, and that Jefferson County, AL, got into trouble because of corruption and because it issued risky financial derivatives that would never have been permitted by New Jersey's Local Government Finance Board, which oversees county and municipal government finance.
Pfeiffer said the bankruptcies of Asbury Park and other municipalities that went under because of bad development loans in the Great Depression led to a series of strict financial controls in New Jersey, including the creation of the Local Government Finance Board.
"We set limits both on the amount and the type of debt that municipalities can issue," Pfeiffer noted. "We give cities a long leash, but there is a leash, and when they get too far out there, we can yank them back."
State controls over local governments were further stiffened with the passage of legislation authorizing state takeovers of failing local governments and school districts.
It was to avert a pending state takeover of Camden's municipal finances that Camden Mayor Milton Milan tried to declare the city bankrupt in the 1990s, Moran recalled.
"The federal bankruptcy judge threw the bankruptcy petition out because Milan didn't have approval from the Local Government Finance Board, the state took over Camden, and Mayor Milan went to prison," Pfeiffer noted.
Tammori C. Petty, communications director for the state Department of Community Affairs, said the state agency would have no comment on the impact of New Jersey's distressed cities programs on averting bankruptcies like Detroit and Stockton.
While New Jersey's centralized pension system insulates local governments here against the pension fund management issues that helped drive Central Falls, RI, into bankruptcy, it also leaves the state's municipalities with relatively little ability to affect their future pension liabilities. New Jersey state law bars municipalities from setting aside money for prepayment, and towns simply wait every year for the state Division of Pensions and Investments to send them a bill.
Two years ago, that bill dropped by a cumulative $110 million statewide as a result of lowered long-term pension liability changes as a result of the Christie-Sweeney pension overhaul. "Regardless of what anyone thinks of the merits of particular aspects of the bill, the state's pension system is clearly healthier in the long run as a result," Pfeiffer said.
It is an open question if the new GASB principles barring states from anticipating aggressive long-term rates of return on their pension investments eventually leads to the nation's state and local governments being forced to put hundreds of millions of dollars more into their pension funds to guarantee that there is enough money to pay future benefits.
Doing so would create immediate sticker shock for state and local government pension systems across the country, but it would also avert future scenarios like the one in Detroit when the state-appointed executive brought in to devise a bailout plan suddenly realized that the city's pension debt was $2.8 billion higher than had been assumed.

Maybe The NFL Itself Has Brain Damage
John Urschel is too smart to have waited this long.
Thornton McEnery
John Urschel is a doctoral candidate in applied mathematics at MIT. According to his bio page at the school's website, he currently has "the fastest eigensolver for minimal Laplacian eigenvectors."
If you have no idea what that means, well, it means that Urschel is a smart guy. He's also spent the last three seasons playing on the Baltimore Ravens' offensive line. This season will not be his fourth because, on Thursday, just before the first full-squad practice of training camp, he retired.
Urschel's decision to quit football and focus full-time on math and his pending fatherhood came two days after the latest news regarding the sport's scourge: brain injuries. This week's report in the Journal of the Amercian Medical Association found signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in the brains of 110 of 111 former NFL players examined, and 177 of 202 former football players in total.
While that report was not mentioned in Urschel's statement regarding his retirement, you don't have to know centroidal Voronoi tessellations to do the math on this one. This is a man who had a concussion in 2015 and talked about how it impacted his math work. It's also a man who said in January that even though it was "irrational," he planned to continue playing football.
In a vacuum, this is one man with another career path making a reasoned decision. Beyond Urschel, though, there is far more trouble for the NFL. The league now faces an existential crisis, but is choosing to address it by doing everything it can to run away with its ears covered while screaming "I can't hear you! I can't hear you! I can't hear you!"
Or, the way that the NFL put things in its response statement to the Boston University study in JAMA: "As noted by the authors, there are still many unanswered questions relating to the cause, incidence and prevalence of long-term effects of head trauma such as CTE. The NFL is committed to supporting scientific research into CTE and advancing progress in the prevention and treatment of head injuries."
The NFL's commitment is so strong that, as reported by The Washington Post, "Democratic members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce have written a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell asking whether the league intends to fulfill a commitment to provide an additional $18 million of funding for research (out of an initial pledge of $30 million) by the National Institutes of Health."
The league said it is working with the NIH "regarding potential new research projects and the remaining funds of our $30 million commitment." Sounds great, but, you know, write a check?
So, the NFL has a thoroughly begrudging relationship with science at the same time that the headline finding in a J.D. Power survey was that protests of the national anthem by since-blackballed quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other players were the top reason people watched less football last season. At least, that was the headline on ESPN's piece by the inimitable Darren Rovell, while Deadspin correctly skewered both his reporting and the survey itself, whose conclusion was that, overall, more people were watching football – even though television ratings were markedly lower.
Meanwhile, last week, three NFL teams were victorious over former players in a lawsuit in which the players accused the teams of pumping them full of painkillers to keep them on the field while injured.
Also, there's the story of reserve wide receiver Lucky Whitehead, cut by the Dallas Cowboys after he was charged with shoplifting $40 worth of stuff from a convenience store because the actual perpetrator gave police his name, date of birth, and Social Security number. When he was cleared, the Cowboys refused to rescind their transaction, and Whitehead wound up with the Jets.
The Cowboys, at the same time, are fully supporting their star running back, Ezekiel Elliott, as he is investigated for domestic violence.
To recap, the NFL right now is dealing with a massive healthcare crisis, denying science, failing to fund public institutions to its obligated levels, blaming nonviolent dissent for its struggles, facing big problems with painkillers, and harshly dealing with one crime that doesn't even turn out to be a crime while one of its leaders tries to quash the investigation of a marquee player's potential misdeeds, which is part of a general failure to deal effectively with violence against women.
The NFL should stick to sports.

They Jay treaty was made when Washington sent John Jay to london to try to solve problems with Britain. He returned and the U.S agreed to pay debts and Britain agreed to pay for seized ships and withdraw troops but refused to reconize the U.S right to trade with france.
In Washington's farewell speech he said that they should stay out of fighting with the British and a president should only serve two terms also that the democratic republicans should stop fighting with the federalist.
The democratic rapublican and the federalist formed the democratic rapublican supported france and against the national bank and want a strict constatution. The federalist supported the natioanal bank and wanted a loses understanding of the constatution.
John Adams sent Charles Pinckney, John Marshall and Elbridge Gerry three American delegates to make peace with France so they can send ships again. When the arrived there were three agents x,y and z demanding $250,000 and a plus $12,000,000 to meet the minister of France.
The Alien Act authorized the president to deport any dangerous person to their state up to 2 years. The Sedition Act makes it a crime to publish false scandales and writing against the government.
The federalists in the election of 1800 lost control of both parts of congress and lost the presidency. President Adams and congress attempt to get as many federal judges they can get before midnight.

The American Ambulance Association (AAA) is a trade association for the EMS industry. The AAA is based in Rosslyn, Virginia and was founded in 1979.

The AAA's website states that its mission is "to promote health care policies that ensure excellence in the ambulance services industry and provide research, education and communications programs to enable its members to effectively address the needs of the communities they serve." As part of this mission, the AAA manages the "Stars of Life" program, an annual awards program that recognizes "ambulance professionals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in service to their communities or the EMS profession."

In 2015, the AAA issued its first recommendations for diversity and intercultural communication, noting that the primarily white, male, English-speaking EMS workforce underserved some population sectors.

The AAA holds an annual conference and awards dinner, where it gives annual awards such as the Patient and Employee Safety award to ambulance companies. Another award is the Star of Life award. In March 2017, an ambulance was hit by a Jeep Cherokee in Mississippi, nearly killing a paramedic. Paramedic Jimmy Miller was awarded the AAA Star of Life award for outstanding service after surviving the wreck, which should have killed him.

I go to East End Market for artisanal food products, and to Petty's Meat Market and Lombardis Seafood. Dong A Market is my favorite for Asian food ingredients, and the major super markets really have excellent selections of organic, gluten-free and even artisanal food choices these days.
Which kitchen gadget could you not live without? I love my immersion blender. I use it daily when I am working with clients. It has multiple attachments, so in a pinch I can convert it from a blender to mini-food processor or whisk.
What was your favorite bagged lunch as a kid? My mom is an excellent home cook, so we focused more on our fabulous dinners.
What's your most guilty junk-food pleasure? I love ice cream; I really, really do. Cheese and crackers are high on the list, too. Notice the theme: dairy, fat, yumminess.
Is there anything else you'd like to share? I believe that cooking excellent food can be creative, fun, nutritious and even healing. Working professionally as a chef allows me to learn new things every week, and I love that.

Flixton is a village in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire, England. Until 1974 the village lay in the historic county boundaries of the East Riding of Yorkshire. There is a public house, the Foxhound Inn.

History
The area was known to have been settled by humans in the Mesolithic era, roughly around 15,000 to 5,000 BP. Evidence of Mesolithic settlers exist at nearby Star Carr, and the post-glacial watercourse of Lake Flixton, which was north of the village. Archaeological excavations in the area have discovered ceremonial mace-heads made from pebble, flints, and ochre crayons believed to be 10,000 years old. During the reign of Æthelstan (924-939), a hospital was built in the settlement "for the preservation of persons travelling that way, that they might not be destroyed by wolves and other wild beasts then abounding in that neighbourhood...." The hospital possessed a chapel and was rebuilt in 1447, though by 1535 it had been abandoned and farmland now occupies the site.

Flixton is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Fleustone; having three villagers, 37 ploughlands, and one church. The name derives from a combination of Old Danish and Old English, Flīks-tũn; literally the town of Flic's people. Originally in the East Riding wapentake of Dickering, it was later transferred into North Yorkshire during the county boundary changes of 1974. The village is on the A1039 road connecting the A64 with A165 road near Filey. Flixton is  north-west of Hunmanby, and  west of Folkton. Historically, its nearest railway station was at  on the York to Scarborough line, but this closed in 1930. The nearest railway station now is at ,  to the north.

There is one Guest House, Orchard Lodge, which has won national and local awards, and the Foxhound Inn, which also serves as a fish and chip shop. All other amenities, post office, shop and bus service, have been lost in the 2010s.

Folkton & Flixton C.C., the local cricket club, for the villages of Flixton and Folkton, won the national Village Cup at Lord's in 2018.

At the 2011 Census, the population of the village was recorded in that of the entire Folkton Parish, which had 535 residents.

Pharology - History of Lighthouses in the British Isles - Builders
BR19: Lighthouse Builders
Many of the pre-Victorian lighthouses were not designed or constructed by people who would today be called civil engineers. The Eddystone Rock, for example, has a marvellous history which tells of an eccentric inventor, Henry Winstanley, who was the first person to tackle this formidable task. Yet he was already famous for the construction of a fully operational piped-water system and a water-closet which he built in London's Hyde Park during the summer of 1695. He enclosed his exhibition with a large tent and hundreds of inquisitive members of the public were charged sixpence for the privilege of seeing it in operation. Another of his inventions in his home was a special guest chair. This seat had spring loaded arms that trapped the unsuspecting visitors as soon as they sat down. With this in mind it seems strange that anyone took Henry Winstanley seriously when he insisted he could construct a lighthouse on a reef in the English Channel, 14 miles offshore from Plymouth. The third tower to be built there was due to a silk merchant called John Rudyerd [Majdaleny, 1959]. Other lighthouses, such as the original towers erected on Hurst Point in Hampshire, were built on top of elm sleepers laid on a shingle bed. Surprisingly, neither fell down.
Another project at the Smalls lighthouse, 21 miles off St. David's Head in Wales, was designed and built by Henry Whiteside, a violin maker. The entrepreneur for the project was John Philips, a man whose business ventures had made him almost bankrupt yet who convinced his creditors to back the venture. The original Smalls lighthouse was an octagon of wooden poles, topped by a cast iron hut, but it stayed in service for 85 years [Hague, 1975].
During the 18th century the building of harbours, breakwaters and lighthouses was looked upon as the domain of the Civil Engineer. This referred to any work carried out below ground or associated with bridges or contracts by the sea, but the roots of this important aspect of construction and design have a history which is relatively short [Z, 1999]. In 1662, Charles II founded the Royal Society and located its headquarters in London. This prestigious group consisted of eminent people such as those who had made discoveries of a scientific nature, Doctors of Medicine, Physics and Mathematics. To be a Fellow of the Royal Society, FRS, was considered to be (and still is) a scientist's highest accolade. Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Robert Boyle were just two of its founder members. Sir Christopher Wren became the first person in architectural design to become a Fellow of the Royal Society, following the re-building of London after the ravages of the Great Fire in 1666.
Civil engineering as a profession did not really exist during the early part of the 17th century. Many historians have argued about who should be regarded as the 'Father of the Engineers'. Such names as Henry Winstanley, Henry Whiteside, John Rudyerd and John Rennie have been suggested, but current consensus awards the title to John Smeaton, best known for his work in the design and construction the Eddystone lighthouse, as well as for many harbours and breakwaters [Skempton, 1981]. Following the destruction of John Rudyerd's Eddystone tower on the 2nd December 1755 when it was completely engulfed by fire, Robert Weston, the owner of the Eddystone lighthouse lease, contacted Lord Macclesfield, President of the Royal Society, for help in finding someone suitably qualified to build a new one. Smeaton was then finishing a scholarship sponsored by the Christopher Wren Foundation in the new and specialist aspect of construction, Civil Engineering. Smeaton was appointed to the Eddystone, a task he completed with excellence. Following his revolutionary approach the formal recognition by Society of the profession of Civil Engineer had begun [Skempton, 1981].
Amongst the most difficult problems to overcome were the remote and inaccessible locations for the lights. Choices for the building sites were always made to provide the maximum navigational benefit for the mariner. Of the lighthouse authorities in the British Isles, the task of the Commissioners of the Northern Lights to build these structures around the coastline of Scotland must have seemed the most difficult. In November 1787, construction of the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse was complete except for installation of the light. The accessibility of the site combined with weather conditions were so bad that the light remained unlit through the harsh winter because Thomas Smith was unable to ship the small parts for assembly on site. Even in the summer of 1788 when the optic had been installed, and with the Commissioners keen start earning revenue, Smith still refused to light the lamp until all the work on the keepers accommodation was finished. Though finished, the lighthouse had been unlit for eleven months. As with the other lighthouse engineers, Smith was a man of perfection. [Mair, 1978].
The erection of the Bell Rock lighthouse off the Angus coast in Scotland was a magnificent feat of engineering, especially considering that its base rock was barely visible at low tide and covered to a depth of 16 ft (4.87 m) during high water. What is more exceptional is the fact that this building work was started in 1807. Today, technology has assisted in overcoming the problems of offshore engineering projects, but it is hard to imagine the conditions at the beginning of the 19th century. It is also noteworthy that the engineer for the Bell Rock lighthouse, Robert Stevenson, lived on board a floating lightvessel, along with his workforce, throughout the entire project. During this period of lighthouse construction, many of the exceptional designers and engineers who built these towers around the British Isles would never expect their workforce to be employed in conditions which they were not prepared to endure themselves [Stevenson, 1931].
Similar conditions to those encountered by the Scottish lighthouse builders had to be overcome by the workforce of William Douglass when they erected the present Fastnet tower on the most southerly reef off the coast of Ireland. Although the rock base for this lighthouse was above high water, it faced the full onslaught of the Atlantic Ocean. At times, the force of the sea wave-washed the rock and, after completion of this difficult project, the keepers were often stranded for weeks at a time in their living quarters [Williams, 1920].
Not all the projects attempted had a successful ending. The original Bishop Rock lighthouse, built on the most westerly reef of the Isles of Scilly, had been designed by James Walker and constructed by Nicholas Douglass and his son James. Its construction consisted of heavy cast iron stanchions anchored to the rock. After four years of back-breaking work, the project had been completed, apart from installing the lantern and lights. On the night before the last stage of the contract was due to start, the Isles of Scilly were struck by one of the worst storms in history. It was nearly two days before the Douglass workforce returned to the Bishop Rock, only to find the tower had been washed away by the power of the sea. All that remained were the stumps of the cast iron stanchions [Douglass, 1892].

Whatever They Told You About Boston Red Sox Is Dead Wrong…And Here's Why
Over 101 games with Triple-A Iowa this year, he hit 21 doubles and 19 residence runs. The Red Sox need an infusion of energy in their lineup, but Crook will have to prove he can lower his strikeout price if he desires to be observed as a viable solution. Bloom continues to dish out important money to decent but not-star players and hopes to strike gold. He most likely see this will not, and once more, add up those dollars and you can get a top rated signing or two like the 1 he just passed up, Dansby Swanson. To date, Bloom has lost long-time shortstop Xander Bogaerts to totally free agency. The team knew he could and likely would opt out of his contract if not re-signed.
At occasions, Whitlock could finish games, basically serving as the setup man and the closer on the identical night. Initial, he will need to have to face some hitters, most likely in a simulated game form of situation. And then, the righty is probably to go on a Minor League rehab assignment, which will now be a great deal shorter than if he was going back to the rotation.
Stearnes was only with Memphis for the 1922 season but went on to have a profitable 13-year career playing 1st base, left field and center field. Regardless of in no way playing in the important leagues, two Memphis Red Sox players, William "Willie" Hendrick Foster and Norman "Turkey" Stearnes, were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. In his time as owner of the ballclub, Lewis helped the Red Sox obtain anything few other Negro League teams had—owning the ballpark exactly where they played.
Casas is observed as the extended-term answer to first base and/or DH for the Red Sox. The former 1st round choose out of the 18′ draft is only 22 and is already in Triple-AAA. His 6'4 frame gives him enormous raw power and strength that he uses to his benefit with a quick bat speed. That bat has 40+ HR possible with a .350 OBP potential also. In spite of his size, he's got great hands at initially base with a soft glove and very good arm.
Boston designated reliever Kyle Tyler for assignment to clear space on the 40-man roster, days right after the Red Sox also claimed Tyler from the Angels in equivalent style. Nick Pivetta, producing his second get started of the spring, had an up and down day. Pivetta went three.2 innings and permitted four runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts. He also gave up two property runs, each solo shots in the third and fourth innings respectively.
Continuing on an optimistic note, there's no purpose to doubt that Bloom will deal with the roster needs and augment an currently talented roster. In 2021, Bloom place collectively a patchwork roster that came inside two games of securing an unexpected World Series appearance. Count on him to win the American League East Division in 2022. Martinez, Enrique Hernandez, and Nathan Eovaldi are all on other teams following this year.
The finest part of Porcello was that he never ever seemed to give a fuck, even as he brought on chaos. The former Minnesota Twins and Houston Astros shortstop has had a nagging back injury disrupt his profession more than the years, but SF Chronicle's Susan Slusser reported that his back is not the challenge. Rodon would fit in well with Boston and straight away would strengthen the group.
Nevertheless, there had been a couple of other shocking teams on the list that the fans pointed out to be as well fantastic to be true. The 46-year-old Vázquez is getting web link into his sixth season on Boston's Big League employees. In 2022, he served as very first-base coach while also coordinating the club's baserunning instruction.
In September 2021, Groome was promoted to the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs, generating 21 stats with a five-eight record and 4.81 ERA. Groome had to undergo Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ligament in the elbow in 2018 and was projected to return for the duration of the 2019 season. He worked out at the Red Sox' alternate instruction web site in Pawtucket when the 2020 minor league season was canceled. Rafael Devers leads the squad with a batting typical of .314, and paces the Red Sox in residence runs, with 24 and runs batted in with 60.
Arguably the most notable aspect of Heyman's report is the noted absence of the New York Yankees, whoreportedly are content withdrawing from the shortstop sweepstakes for the second year in a row. Whilst Bogaerts hasn't ruled out reaching an agreement with Boston prior to season's end, it does not appear to be remotely doable with under a week left to go. Now it's getting reported that the marketplace for premier shortstops is going to be a huge 1, as anticipated. The Boston Red Sox are anticipated to have a franchise-altering offseason coming up with numerous members of their core expected to enter free agency — none far more prominent than shortstop Xander Bogaerts. The difficult-throwing ideal-hander also tossed 5 curveballs as he experimented with the pitch, thanks in component to veteran Rich Hill displaying him the ropes.
This Boston group sits on a bedstone of top quality prospects that can be made use of as trade chips to fortify a rotation that is becoming an injury list staple. It's not saying here that the season is toast very however, but a further poor week and it should really be viewed as all but burnt. Then, it will be time to sell and time to bring up the youngsters for a great lengthy look-see to get a glimpse of who could have the suitable stuff to fit in next season.
They had lost 18 of their final 19 and required to conjure up something to stop the losing streak. Nothing on the field seemed to be operating, so the group tapped into their superstitions and held a "Turn it Around Day" at Veterans Stadium. The Dodgers tendered Anderson a qualifying provide, which could have offered him a likelihood to replicate his strides forward on a one particular-year deal worth $19.65 million. Instead, he will attempt to port the excellence down the freeway with a club that has a considerably, a lot worse track record of assisting pitchers succeed. And as a lot as New York fans and even the front workplace could possibly have liked the idea of deGrom as a career Met, he talked about his intention to opt out of that contract as quickly as spring instruction camps opened final March. He has had time to adjust to the possibility-turned-reality of moving on.
Bello, 23 is ranked by Baseball America as the No. 21 prospect in baseball and as Boston's No. two prospect. The ideal-hander began the season with Double-A Portland, going 4-two with a 1.69 ERA (7 ER/37.1 IP) and 48 strikeouts over seven starts before getting promoted to Triple-A Worcester on May 17. With the WooSox, he posted a two.81 ERA (16 ER/51.1 IP) and 72 strikeouts over nine outings . Bello was recalled on July 6 and produced his Key League debut that night against the Tampa Bay Rays. Acquired as an international free agent in July 2017, the Dominican Republic native was signed by Manny Nanita, Todd Claus, and Rolando Pino.
Ahead of Hosmer signed his free agent contract with San Diego in February 2018, the Red Sox had been in the running for his solutions. "There are a lot of guys on this team who know how to win and have won before," Hosmer stated. "It is a stadium I've constantly enjoyed playing in. When I'm going fantastic, I tend to go to the opposite field." Immediately after facing his former team this weekend, Hosmer is seeking forward to Tuesday, when he'll make his Red Sox debut at Fenway Park.

Q: Model theoretic translation of Hilbert's Basis Theorem [A few interesting comments to question made me understand that I need to address some more fundamental facts. (The standard literature is elusive.)]

What (if any) is the correct way to translate Hilbert's Basis Theorem into logic / model theory?

Hilbert Basis Theorem comes in two forms.
The modern form

If $R$ is a Noetherian ring, and $x$ is a single variable, then $R[x]$ is a Noetherian ring.

The original(?) form

If $F$ is a field and $x$ is a tuple of variables, then $F[x]$ is a Noetherian ring.

This second form sounds nearer to logic / model theory.
Still, it is a slippery terrain....

Less than 100 miles from Cuba, Key West was a mixture of cultures, races and languages. Among the diverse population were Native Americans, Blacks, Cubans, and descendants of the British Loyalists who had populated the Bahamas since before the American Revolution. Incorporated in 1828, Key West remained small until the 1840s when its population jumped to 2,000. By 1870 there were 5,000 residents and Key West was the largest and wealthiest town in Florida, primarily due to the lucrative shipwreck salvage market made possible by the treacherous Florida reefs.
In 1867, Reverend John B. Allard was assigned to the Mary, Star of the Sea parish in Key West. An old friend of the Sisters from Quebec, he immediately thought of them once he saw the poor educational system in the parish. In early 1868, the Florida mission was accepted.
In February 1868, Augustin Verot (1804-1876), Bishop of Savannah wrote that a house and land had been purchased for the Sisters and that all other stipulations would be met. The only thing left was to set an arrival date. Dreading the introduction of the Sisters to their first Florida summer, Verot suggested a fall arrival.
On Oct. 15, 1868 six Sisters, headed by Mary Euphrasie, took the train from Quebec to New York City. There they boarded the steamboat Sedwidge, accompanied by a Reverend Landry, who was the new assistant pastor to Key West. During the voyage, a terrible storm struck, destroying the ship's masts and leaving it at the sea's mercy. The Sisters prayed fervently for protection and in time the wind abated and the clouds passed. Nevertheless, the Sisters were grateful to finally glimpse their new home on the morning of Oct. 24, although they were not overly impressed by the town. The only structures were built of wood, most no more than one story tall.
The Sisters were met at the pier by Reverend Allard and a curious crowd of onlookers. They stayed with two local families for four days until they could prepare their new residence. The Key West foundation house, located outside the town limits, was a two-story abandoned Union barracks and was in use as a goat barn. The Sisters used the ground floor for the chapel, a parlor, a music room, a drawing room and a refectory. The second story was divided into two classrooms, a community room and a dormitory for the children.
On Nov. 9 , classes began with 26 girls.The school year ended in July and the Sisters happily anticipated some rest. That hope was short-lived, however, for an epidemic of yellow fever was sweeping the island. Three priests succumbed to the disease within weeks, leaving the island without anyone to say Mass or anoint the dying. Tragically, one of the Sisters' own also fell ill: Sister Mary Angelique died on Sept. 2 after suffering from yellow fever for a month.
Nevertheless, the mission had to continue. With heavy hearts the Sisters opened the school year on Sept. 13, welcoming 69 day students and six boarders. Within a few years, their school grew and the Sisters were teaching in several other schools in the parish, including St. Francis Xavier, which they opened in 1872 specifically to teach the Black children of the island, and a school for Cuban girls which operated from 1873 to 1878. A new, much larger convent was begun in 1874. In addition, new foundations were opened in other parts of the state: Tallahassee (1872) and Tampa (1880).
On July 17, 1881, two Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary arrived from Key West to open a two-room schoolhouse in a blacksmith shop on Zack Street in Tampa. Thirty-five pupils were enrolled initially, but by the end of the first academic year, their numbers had increased to 70 day-scholars and two resident students.
In April 1889, the site of the school was moved to a two-story building at the corner of Franklin and Harrison Streets. In 1891, the late Bishop John Moore, second Bishop of St. Augustine, purchased property on Twiggs Street where a larger school, which served the community for 34 years, was built.
By 1926, further growth necessitated larger accommodations, and the school was moved to temporary quarters on Central Avenue while the present building on Bayshore Boulevard was under construction. Bishop Barry of St. Augustine laid the cornerstone in 1928, and Florida's Governor-elect Carlton spoke at the ceremony. The following September saw the opening of the new school, but financial difficulties halted building progress before the structure was completed. However, with increasing enrollment, growth of the school continued. The building was completed, and by 1952 two new school wings were added, along with the Chapel and auditorium.
A separate boys division for grades 1 through 8 was established in 1962, and in 1970 a kindergarten was added. In 1989, the provincial of the New York Province of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary approved the recommendation that the Boys Academy and the elementary division of the Academy of the Holy Names be combined into one coeducational elementary school.
In 1983, the Sisters left Key West after 115 years of dedicated service. However, in Tampa, the staff of Sisters and their lay associates continue to instruct more than 925 students in the coeducational elementary division and the high school for young women.


Hello, my name is Seth and my in-game name is Simtimzero. I am 28 and have been playing Minecraft for about four or five years now. Most of that has been with mods. I love doing automation, and as I recently earned an Associates degree in computer programming I like tinkering with both making mods and automation with computercraft. Recently I have been playing the CrackedPack in single player and decided to look for a server hosting that pack. Yours was at the top of the list of new servers and I thought to give it a try. For those curious about my nationality, I live in the United States in the state of Arizona.
I just went ahead and whitelisted, the server just launched today so a perfect early start!


"I remember during the thirty-minute drive to the airport an unfamiliar feeling of anxiety. Although as my mom would tell it for years, I'd always been the kid that would go anywhere with just about anyone, for the first time that I can remember I felt scared and nervous about going so far away. I remember sitting at the terminal gate at Detroit Metro Airport, my mom on one side, my dad on the other as we waited for boarding to begin. I had a huge lump in my throat and was holding back tears. I had only flown one other time in my life and never alone. I remember feeling like if I said anything, the dam would break and the tears would fall and I was trying to keep it together.
As I was telling this seemingly insignificant but necessary part of the chronological story, I was overcome with emotion as I remembered how I was feeling that morning. For the first time in 22 years, I had this realization that THAT seemingly insignificant moment was an ending of sorts. Unfortunately, due to everything that happened between us and his feelings about the choices I had made between the time I returned from Disney and the time he passed away, I've always had a hard time remembering how things were before the falling out. I've always thought it was so weird that although I had nearly 19 years of a good relationship with him, the last year and half of his life seemed to have stolen any vivid memories of good times with him. The hurt was so loud and obnoxious that it just would not allow me to see anything else...until today.
The emotion that came with today's memory is hard for me to describe. I can't even really distinguish if it was hurt and sadness over the loss of that relationship and the realization of the last time I had that loving connection, or if it was relief that I had finally remembered a time when my Dad still loved me like his firstborn. What I do know, is that this book writing process is a gift and this morning's experience makes me both excited and a little bit apprehensive as I anticipate other discoveries that will inevitably come through this process. In any case, I look forward to sharing them with you.
Day 4 of the writing workshop is focused on organizing all ideas. It was pretty overwhelming trying to think back over 20 years on this journey and coordinate the life events with the significant events on my Spiritual Journey, so I tried to make a side by side timeline for each to help me with telling the story.
How is my perspective unique?
One of today's writing prompts in the book-writing workshop I'm doing was "how is your perspective unique?"
The fact that I see my journey to Divine Spirit happening through the very identity that has caused others to want to separate me from God feels unique. I have come to see that, despite the condemnation of others - maybe even because of that condemnation - it has been only through my sexuality and that conflict that I have connected with God.
Am I Ready to Heal?
A few months ago, I was introduced to Amy Brooks, writing coach and book doula with VoicePenPurpose and have been following her on social media. This week she is offering a free "Kick-off Your Summer & Your Book" writing workshop. Since I've continued to feel stuck about my book I thought it would be a good exercise to get me back in the game. Today's focus was on establishing confidence and clarity. We had several writing prompts that helped to reflect on our thoughts about becoming an author, fear of failure, fear of success, etc. One of the most profound questions that we were asked to think about was "Am I ready to heal?"
I think this is so profound for me because I feel like I've spent most of my life doing healing work along the way. I've always been very open to it and actually love the work of processing things. It feels like healing has been a very functional part of my life experience in a way that has flowed and felt very seamless in a lot of ways. Still, this question feels like a big one and I think it's because, while I've been doing a lot of healing work in my life, I've come to a threshold or breakthrough moment that will ultimately take me to a whole new place. I think I'm ready - even longing for it in so many ways - AND I'm also still scared.

For most of us the purchase of a fridge, the main fridge for the household is driven by two events – the current one breaking down or a new kitchen being fitted. We therefore don't spend as much time researching for the one appliance that often runs the entire household as the decision is often made in a rush or over shadowed by the new kitchen.
We've put together our buying guide to try and help you make the best possible choices for you.
With the growing trend towards shopping more frequently, gone are the days when we needed a big fridge to ensure we could fit in the weekly shop. With smaller kitchens, more access to supermarkets and 24 hour store openings, we are storing far less food at any given time than before. All of which affects what size of fridge we actually need to buy.
Undercounter fridges are typically the most versatile. Not only can they be freestanding units used to create a focal point in a kitchen they can also slip away under the work surface if required.
Consider how many litres your fridge would hold too. Many slimline units won't hold much. A good sized under counter fridge would typically have at least a 100 litre storage capacity.
Essential features in any fridge are multiple shelves, an auto defrost function and a salad crisper drawer. How many shelves does your fridge come with. Often the inexpensive models only have 2 which reduces the amount of food you can store.
Typically a higher-spec fridge will include features such as a dedicated wine rack allowing you to store a couple of bottles of your favourite tipple but without taking up precious door space. Has the door on the fridge got lots of storage pockets too? A good fridge will give you a variety of different sized storage drawer and pockets – all designed to eek out every possible storage space.
Typically many high end fridges will come in a wide array of colours – many of the inexpensive fridges are only available in white. It's important to pick a finish that will complement your kitchen décor and have longevity. A well manufactured fridge will last for some time and you may not wish to change your fridge each time you redecorate.
What style are you looking for? Some fridges come with a canopy top and some are manufactured without any joins and are engineered from a single piece. This is important if you want to make a design feature of your fridge in your kitchen.
Look for design subtleties, such as an integrated handle which adds to a well thought out design.
Where is your fridge to be located? Avoid placing your fridge in places where the temperature fluctuates greatly – such as the garage, conservatory or near a radiator. You'll make the compressor work harder and it will shorten the life of the fridge.
Ensure that if you're placing your fridge underneath your worktop that there is a sufficient gap all round the unit for airflow. If you need to integrate your fridge then make sure you buy one designed for this.
Ensure the model you buy has a reversible door option too - not all models come with this function, and that you have enough gap between the fridge and the next unit so that the door can open properly.
As this is a major household appliance and runs 24/7 all year it is important to consider the energy use of the appliance. Most fridges start with an energy rating A and some models are as efficient as A+++. The more efficient the energy rating the lower the annual running costs.
Ensure your unit is not placed directly into sunlight or near a radiator. This will ensure that the compressor is not trying to bring the temperature down and as such will use less energy.

It's that time of year again, when Bunnies are everywhere! Bunny bless you all and please welcome new Fuzzies from the past few months. Welcome and may we all find some peace and love in the omnipresent paws of the Cosmic Bunny!
When the Cosmic Bunny created us, It put a spark of Itself into the core of our being. That spark is known as the Inner Bunny. You may have been taught the term "Higher Self" or "soul". It is the part of us that exists in a state of love, peace and knowledge. It is not only our lifeforce, but our greater guidance directly from the Cosmic Bunny.
Living with a conscious knowing of your Inner Bunny lets you see and feel beyond the usual five bunnysenses. The big picture, apart from the petty concerns of our busy lives, becomes clearer. Things happen as we wish, as if some great Bunnypaw reached down from the sky and arranged it all for us. This is because we are in synch with the Cosmic Bunny and the flow of life, so we naturally hop along the trail that leads us in the right direction.
One curious side effect of Inner Bunny awareness is that other humans who have also awakened their Inner Bunnies, many animals and most small children can see Bunny ears above your head as you walk down the street, glittering subtley. These are somtimes known as "Fuzzy Ears". In 2003, while focusing intently on my own Inner Bunny at a bus stop, a child suddenly hollered "A BUNNYYYYYY!!!!" to his mother across the street from me. I looked up to see a finger pointed directly at me, from a very excited little boy! I glanced around and there certainly were not other Rabbits nearby, in the center of a concrete and asphalt station. My ears must've been glowing!
Haven't you ever wondered why humans try so often to look like Bunnies? And not just at Easter! You'll see fluffy pink ears at parties, on Halloween and during carnival season across the world, from Rio to Munich. Do an image search for "Rabbit ears" online and you'll find the internet is filled with ordinary people wearing Bunny ears, or faking it with two fingers in a "V" behind the head. We all have a natural instinct for Bunnyness. When we are ready to know why, we can simply look inside ourselves for the answer.
Bunny Acts of Kindness spread Bunnyness throughout your community.
The word "Bunny" itself acts as a hidden catalyst or sign that affects consciousness. We encourage you to use the word "Bunny" as often as realistically possible in your daily speech, not only to remind yourself, but for the benefit of others as well!
Bunny images, from screensavers, cups, t-shirts and Bunny calendars, even popular images like "Happy Bunny" (who, while grumpy, is just a teenager, after all) serve to increase Bunny awareness in society. Artists, don't be shy about painting, drawing or designing more Bunnies! Decorate your desk at work with Bunnies! Bunnies everywhere!
Bunnies on TV, in cartoons, commercials or shows should be encouraged. Write networks to let them know how much you enjoy Bunnies!
Bunnies in print are another good indicator of current Bunnyness. If you're a writer, consider adding a Bunny character in some way to your work. Start a Bunnyblog or Bunnymagazine!
Eventually, if enough humans awaken their consciousness and step into their Bunny-given Bunnyness, a point of critical mass may be reached. The Hundredth Bunny Effect will occur and the Cosmic Bunny's light will spread across the Earth, awakening everyone it touches, finally ushering in an era of peace. So, spread Bunnyness daily and spend at least 15 minutes per day contemplating your own Bunnyness. Let your Inner Bunny shine!
Spread Bunnyness with graphics for your website!
Happy Holidays, Bunnies & Fuzzies!
The Church of the Cosmic Bunny wishes all who celebrate this holiday season a very wonderful Christmas!
And to all creatures of every species and religious persuasion, a very happy New Year with peace, love and prosperity in 2010!
Hello again, fellow Fuzzies and Bunnies!
Welcome, all of you! And thank you all for your continued Bunnyness!
Most Bunnies and Fuzzies dream of settling down one day and making a family. The Cosmic Bunny wants what's best for us and wants us to be happy. It wishes that we may unite ourselves in the way we feel best doing and with whom we wish to do it with.
Bunnies or Fuzzies may marry in a church or in a field. They may choose to not have a ceremony or they may not marry at all!
They may even wish to marry someone of the same gender. A Bunny or Fuzzy may marry whomever they choose that can consent to the union.
What's most important when it comes to marriage and relationships is that we are happy. We must choose carefully our Love Bunnies and must not get mixed up in a bad relationship. If you feel lost or confused about your relationship, pray to the Cosmic Bunny for guidance and talk to your partner. You must work through it before you decide to commit your lives to each other.
H.Bunny and I would like to say some words about the recent passing of the legend and King of Pop, the beloved Michael Jackson. We are very saddened that the world has lost such a kind and caring person; a humanitarian, a father, a son, a brother and quite possibly the best entertainer the world has ever known. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and fans around the world, who love him dearly with such devotion. We ourselves were to attend two of his shows at the O2 Arena in London this summer and have shed more than our fair share of tears these last few days. We wish him well on his journey through the Eternal Meadow and pray that the Cosmic Bunny wraps him in Its loving, warm and fuzzy paws and helps him and those he left behind make some sense of this tragedy.
Many of you may not realize a few important things about Michael Jackson. For one, although he was never a member of the Church of the Cosmic Bunny, he was most certainly a Fuzzy at heart, spreading Bunnyness far and wide. And I hope I do not have to remind anyone that he was found not guilty in the 2005 trial. We feel that he was simply what he professed to be; a child at heart. In his music and dance he was able to channel the energy of the Bunny God straight here to Earth, especially in songs like Heal the World, Man in the Mirror, Earth Song, Can You Feel It and so many more.
Regardless of what your opinion may be of him or his music, there is simply no denying that he was a great humanitarian (or would that be Fuzzytarian?) who gave millions upon millions of dollars to charity (including proceeds from both the Victory Tour and Dangerous Tour), regularly welcomed low income kids and sick children from Make-A-Wish Foundation to his Neverland ranch, which was even equipped with special accomodations for the ill or dying, and lent his time and voice to such things as We Are the World (USA for Africa), aid to children in wartorn Sarajevo, the Heal the World Foundation (the charity he himself founded), environmental causes, Just Say No anti-drugs campaign and so many more. (See MJ Charity Work for more complete information).
If you were planning to see him in concert this summer and will have ticket refund money or if you just feel the need to carry on his legacy of love, peace, forgiveness and kindness (which is very 'Bunny'), we suggest making a donation to one of his favorite charities, such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, in memory and honor of Michael.
To conclude, here are a few videos from YouTube that may better express for you who the real Michael Jackson is/was. Let's heal the world. Thank you, Michael. You will always be missed.
