The Bible is the most translated book in history, but closely following it on the list is Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s 1943 novella, “The Little Prince.” To date, the book has been translated into 475 languages, including rarer dialects like Quechua and Aramaic, and has sold over 100 million copies.
Antoine is Anthony in English and comes from the Roman name Anthony, Mark Antony being the most famous Roman with the name. The th sound is preserved in Icelandic and among West Germanic languages, such as English, and in Catalan (most of Spain). Latin begot French begot English with a heavy dose of German. Bible's Babel.

Brothers Lucas Jussen (born Feb. 27, 1993) and Arthur Jussen (born Sept. 28, 1996) perform on stage as a Dutch duo. Very unusual. Here they play Schubert. I wish we had had that much cooperation in the back seat of the car as these young men on the piano bench, and presently I would like to hire their tailor.
I discovered another piano duo: Christina and Michelle Naughton, sisters. They replaced the brothers when they had to cancel a concert. Still unusual. (The Hornbostel-Sachs system classifies a piano as a percussive chordophone instrument, and like a lyre, pictured on the Steinway, or harp, it has very taut strings stretched between two points. When the strings vibrate, they produce sound. Moving a piano requires about 10,000 men. A Steinway refinisher told me he applies 15 layers of shellac. The underside of the cover is not a mirror. The Ocean
BY NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE The Ocean has its silent caves, Deep, quiet, and alone; Though there be fury on the waves, Beneath them there is none. The awful spirits of the deep Hold their communion there; And there are those for whom we weep, The young, the bright, the fair. Calmly the wearied seamen rest Beneath their own blue sea. The ocean solitudes are blest, For there is purity. The earth has guilt, the earth has care, Unquiet are its graves; But peaceful sleep is ever there, Beneath the dark blue waves.

No matter, SpaceX (HQ Hawthorne, CA) gained information for its next try. Trial and error is part of the scientific method. According to Wikipedia, Starlink is a satellite internet constellation from SpaceX, first launching in 2019, providing coverage to over 70 countries, aiming to give global mobile broadband after 2023.

Some of these leftists say ballet and being on time are examples of white racism. Well then, I am a racist. I like ballet, and as a tutor and substitute teacher I was late once, 15 minutes because I took a wrong turn. Tchaikovsky was to blame. If you are in art school for costume design, ballet is a good career choice.
A pro-Palestine activist completely destroyed Philip Alexius de László's 1914 unprotected portrait of Lord Balfour at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, March 8, 2024. Lord Balfour played a key role in the creation of Israel. Palestine Action admitted responsibility. The painting is irreplaceable; this is grand larceny. No one tackled her. The artist was of Jewish origin, and his painting of Pope Leo XIII earned him a Grand Gold Medal at the Paris International Exhibition in 1900, the same year he married Lucy Madeleine Guinness.
Artist: Vincenzo Camuccini (1771–1844)

Before I post something I check multiple sources, but in the end I use my own eyes and ears and a sense of truth to find the truth. One clue for me is the salaries of these news superstars. Another is the way news is given: if it is full of commentary, I tune it out.
I first read a shortened version of this poem when I was 17. It came in a prayer book given me by Father John Enright, SJ, but all these years later the poem means more. Who is the hound that shelters me? Enright paid for the book with his own money, and he had very little. I know cuz one day he had to pick up his dry cleaning, and I went along in the community car, and he had to ask the bursar for $10. left poet

10 Times the Apocalypse Didn’t Happen
Chapter 2. The Second Commandment: Gross Sin Forbidden
And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, Exodus 20:13-14 you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, Exodus 20:15 you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten. You shall not covet the things of your neighbour, Exodus 20:17 you shall not forswear yourself, Matthew 5:34 you shall not bear false witness, Exodus 20:16 you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued; for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty. You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbour. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray, and some you shall love more than your own life. https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0714.htm#:~:text=Remember%2C%20Lord%2C%20Your%20Church%2C,God%20(Son)%20of%20David! If we do not speak out against sins and even go so far as to protect those who sin, we become complicit. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states in paragraph 1869, “Sin makes men accomplices of one another and causes concupiscence, violence, and injustice to reign among them.” didaché means doctrine, from Greek διδαχή, ῆς, noun

Jordan Peterson exposes 700M cameras and the social credit score that people in or from China have. Do you know anyone in or from China? I do. Google asked me today if I wanted to use AI. I said no. If you don't know who Peterson is, know this: he is a Canadian psychologist who interacts quite often with us Catholics.
1. All condoms guarantee nothing: a dude was wearing one when he was shot by the woman’s husband. 2. All politicians ought to wear uniforms, like NASCAR drivers, so we could identify their corporate sponsors. 3. All office holders need serve only two terms - one in office and one in prison for their dark deeds. written 1959 hope you liked it
Everyone in San Francisco knew about 3rd and Howard. It's been replaced by a square convention center. Twice I went to black churches, once for some kind of graduation for a little girl I was tutoring in the Bayview, her gramma asked me to keep tutoring her, but I couldn't, I had another job, and once for a girl I knew in college who had made her piano debut on the swanky Opera House stage. My uncle was a cop in Chinatown and disparaged black ministers and Jews, but you had to know him. If anyone needed help, he was on it. Kerouac died of drink. Last Sunday, Father Evaristus quoted Malthus in his sermon, which explained that Divine Providence made a place for everything on Earth and every person on Earth, and debunking Malthus (1766-1834), a Church of England cleric. We listen to our priests, not Francis, the politician who said that Ukraine should negotiate for peace. I don’t want any more sanctimony, anymore.
"Button, Button", written in 1970, is in a group of short stories by Matheson published from 1950 through 1970 in different short story publications. The reader said that this was his fourth take. Wait till the end. Norma is a classic girl's name of Latin origin, translating to “the standard” or the norm.
Parents get a completed lesson plan, and thus they know everything I teach. A lesson tomorrow on burning paper
The mass of the paper stays the same before and after burning. Paper is made of cellulose, which is a polymer of glucose. Glucose is a molecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. When you burn paper, you are breaking down the glucose molecules and combining them with oxygen from the air. This is a chemical reaction called combustion, and it produces carbon dioxide and water as the products. It also releases energy in the form of heat and light. The mass of the reactants (paper and oxygen) is equal to the mass of the products (carbon dioxide and water). This is a law of nature called conservation of matter, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. So, even though the paper seems to vanish, its mass is still there, in a different form. · Some is in the ash, the solid remains of the fire. · Some is in the smoke, which is a mixture of gases. · And some is in the heat and light. Please pass this on to boys you know. A priest is priest through all eternity, forever and ever. How do I know? The BVM gave a vision of Hell to the three children of Fatima. Divine Providence planned it all, knowing the children could handle seeing some priests and popes in Hell.
Ordination is an honor and privilege, one you and I do not share. Our Lord chooses His men, but this knowledge might confirm a boy's decision and call. Once he senses the call, he knows. |
