We need a president with lots of young, homeschooled children. It tells us he loves his children, which is the first step on the ladder of leadership. We have them at St. Stephen. I ran into one dad Sunday. I talked with all nine of his that day … I think.

Meeting Jeeves, the undertaker, I mean, valet, for the first time. My brother made me drink a raw egg one time, but he wasn’t Jeeves. I share the name of the boy scout who, with the help of P. G. Wodehouse, tries to betray the main man. Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi.
For many are called, but few are chosen. Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost 1962 Missal English multi – many (multiplied) vocati – called (vocal) pauci – few (paucity) vero – indeed (veracity) electi – chosen (election) Father Br*** showed me this Novus Ordo (New Order) Beavis & Butthead skit. The scriptwriter surprised us because he must have read or scanned the encyclical. Together we choked on laughter over the laity exaggeration.
An epigram circulating in Moscow that year [1805] showed how bitter and demoralized Russians had become:  The Romanovs, Autocrats of All the Russias (Lincoln, 548)
One can lump all the Western governments together in the abominable concept of a New Order with One World Government. Signs of it are everywhere. The epigram applies again. “In May 1933 he [Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, 1892-1934, assassinated] created the Fatherland Front. While outwardly fascist, it was mostly Catholic and influenced by the papal encyclical Quadragesimo anno of 1931 which refuted liberalism and socialism in favour of corporatism.” Nazi agents killed Dollfuss, and in 1938 Hitler annexed Austria. Wikipedia. The world was not ready for Dollfuss. The American film, The Sound of Music, takes place during this time. Some of the lyrics are here:

In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.” Source - Scientificamerican.com The longitudinal center of gravity is lower for a woman than a man.

Beethoven’s funeral Mass took place on March 29, 1827, at the Trinity Church of the Minorites, once known as the White Spaniards, now as the Alserkirche or the Trinitarian Church, a Roman Catholic parish church in Vienna.  photo: taken on December 20, 2010, at 12:09:53

The same turbulence also causes stars to appear to change colors rapidly. Refraction is the shift of light when it passes through a medium leading to bending. Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it strikes a medium, such as Sun to Moon to Earth. The “period” of a repeating decimal begins immediately after the decimal point. Sometimes, this is referred to as the repeated block.
Write the period of the repeating decimal in the numerator of an ordinary fraction and write some number of nines in the denominator of an ordinary fraction. The number of nines must be equal to the number of digits in the period of the repeating decimal. Take a repeating decimal 0.3 as an example. (A bar over the three is usually used to indicate the three is repeating). It has zero integers and a three in the period, the place after the decimal point. Convert to a fraction. The rule states that the period of a repeating decimal should be written in the numerator of an ordinary fraction. So, in the numerator we write 3. The denominator must contain some number of nines. In this case, the number of nines must be equal to the number of digits in the period of the repeating decimal 0.3. In the repeating decimal the period consists of one three. So, we write one nine in the denominator of the fraction: 3/9 The resulting fraction 3/9 can be reduced by 3, and then we get the following: 1/3 Thus, when one translates the repeating decimal 0.3 into an ordinary fraction, one gets 1/3. Want to try 0.45 repeating? The answer will be 5/11. Our liberal arts are so lacking now that one must be self-educated. See the entry, “Latin Monks, English & French.” It is better to be educated by traditional Catholic monks. Because there are so few traditional Catholic monasteries in the US, one must go abroad or online. I must say at this point that nontraditional Catholic monasteries are a colossal waste of time and offer little value. I won’t name them.
Here is a traditional monastery in New Mexico whose prior was ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre: https://www.ourladyofguadalupemonastery.com/ I hope more young Catholic men enter this way of life so that they can establish new monastic foundations in the US, hopefully in California, which has zero. Finding the right books is also a problem. The monks have their own libraries; perhaps, one can ask them by email how to obtain copies. Imagine all the pope could be doing in the area of education, and he has done utterly nothing. I call him out for those priests whose voices are muffled by obedience as a destroyer who must be resisted every day in every way. The best outcome would be for monasteries to crop up everywhere in California and become an integral part of the life of a Catholic and an integral part of the education of young Catholics, especially boys. Homeschooling is fine, but it is almost impossible to replace the experience of being together with other boys and a monk. Is it wishful thinking or hoping for the impossible? No. When I am dead and hopefully in Heaven, I will be praying there for this outcome on Earth. Le Barroux is in southern France and three hours from Monaco. If it is where a young American wants to go, he must go because it is his appointed home. I would give him support. Per Wikipedia, in May 2014 the Abbey had 57 members: 26 priests, 21 brothers, five novices, one deacon, one student, and one temporarily professed, with 44 being the average age, making 1970 the median birth year then.
Quora math question
In my math homework problem, they ask me to prove that a number which is made up with 12 ones and 13 zeros cannot be a perfect square. Can anybody help me prove it? Answered by Sanket Alekar, math & geography nerd turned stand-up comedian A number with 12 ones and 13 zeros has a sum of 12 when all the digits are added. The number 12 is divisible by three, meaning that the long number is divisible by three. However, 12 is not divisible by nine, meaning that the long number is not divisible by nine. If a number is divisible by three and not by nine, that means it has only one factor of three in its prime factorization. 12/3 = 4, 12 = 3x2x2 (only one 3) As a result, it cannot be a perfect square, because in perfect squares each prime factor must appear an even number of times. E.g.: 3x3 = 9, 2x2x2x2 = 16 [answer edited slightly] I would add, “It is helpful to think of more numbers, such as 27. It does not have an even number of prime factors: 3x3x3. Remember, a prime is divisible only by itself and one. Now, think of 36, a perfect square, which is 2x3x2x3. It has an even number of prime factors, two two’s and two three’s.” This congresswoman is a liar.

As for abortions occurring in other circumstances, I do not want to pay for them with my taxes. Pay for it yourself before you buy a Valentino purse. This is an actual Mass for October 4, 1450, the 18th Sunday after Pentecost, or October 9, 2022, the 18th Sunday after Pentecost.
I speak no Swedish and cannot understand his sermon, but with my Latin/English Missal in hand, I understand everything else. It makes no difference whether it is 1450 or 2022. The modern Mass of 1969 drove men away, and the Latin Mass is bringing men back. Why? Women run the local modernist parish, just as they run the modernist family. Christ was a man, not a woman. These guys talk about what confronted me as a writer. Interviewer and interviewee, both Catholic, discuss the challenge of writing and the more difficult challenge of getting published. Publishing is on empty today. I could show you junk poetry and short stories that win prizes from a variety of digital publishers. I encouraged an aspiring black woman to write and submit her work because she is what publishers want, better yet if you are Latinx, LGBTQ++++, or a trans non-binary TikTok star influencer.
Weekly jargon changes make it impossible to be politically correct one hundred percent of the time. There might be a young Catholic entrepreneur out there who can create a new contra publishing house for genre writing and literary writing that is both intellectual and profitable.   Archbishop Vigano says, “The protagonists of this criminal plan - both in governments and in the Church - come from the radical chic environment in which conciliar ‘Catholic’ progressivism, pacifism, ecologism, homosexuality, and the whole repertoire of the woke Left was born and grew since the sixties.”
I see some ferromagnetic items in the pinball machine. What do you see? The most expensive thing ever engineered is the International Space Station (ISS). It cost $100 billion. The ISS was launched in 1998 and was created by five space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). The ISS, which can be seen without the aid of a telescope, enables experiments to be conducted in microgravity and zero-gravity.

Here is a piece for which I would have a second surgery on both hands if the results would last. I once knew a Russian trombonist who lost the feeling in his upper lip and with that his career. Children are quite good to me, and the parents of children I have tutored like me. Most adults, however, are just nice to my face. After they knock me down, I turn to classical piano, not words, not prayer. Here is an explanation of combinations, the basis of the challenge to Darwin.
