Psalm 137 "Should I ever forgot you, O Jerusalem" https://youtu.be/WKNLwpviM5s Psalm 137   King James Version (KJV) 137  By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2  We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3  For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4  How shall we sing the  Lord 's song in a strange land? 5  If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 6  If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. 7  Remember, O  Lord , the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. 8  O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 9  Happy shall he be, that taketh and dashe

The Worcester Fire of '00 The Perfect Fire It started with a candle in an abandoned warehouse. It ended with temperatures above 3,000 degrees and the men of the Worcester Fire Department in a fight for their lives. BY  SEAN FLYNN MAR 9, 2017 This article  originally appeared  in July '00 issue of Esquire. It's not so much a bell, really, as an electronic horn, short and shrill. When it goes off, firefighters freeze and listen for the sound that comes next. Usually, only words follow. "Engine 1," the dispatcher might say—or "Engine 8" or "Ladder 5," but only one truck—before reciting an address and a task. One tone signals a medical run or some minor emergency, like going out to stabilize a car-crash victim or a coronary case until an ambulance arrives, breaking a toddler out of a locked-up Taurus, or squirting water on a flaming car. Milk runs. Sometimes, maybe every fifth time, a second tone will follow the first

A quick Informatics review

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bernie-sanders-sparks-a-debate-over-socialism--and-trump-is-happy-to-engage/2020/01/31/24c8cd66-4440-11ea-b5fc-eefa848cde99_story.html The organizing principles are clearly different between socialism and capitalism.  Socialism focuses on advancing equity and social justice.  Capitalism focuses on advancing economic activity and solving specific social problems.  Both systems can also focus on military spending or systems; socialism is seen as being adversarial to military spending by making claims on the federal budget but also has clear defense policies and postures. So, simple socialism isn't that different than the democratic party that we have now.  The primary difference is the willingness to engage is judicial and legislative activism to redistribute wealth or nationalize industries. The British school systems are socialist by including a spending equity plan between counties compared to the U.S. system that largely relies on the cou

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/01/us/politics/trump-impeachment-trial.html " The president’s Democratic adversaries rolled out the biggest constitutional weapon they had and failed to defeat him, or even to force a full trial with witnesses testifying to the allegations against him. Now Mr. Trump, who has said that the Constitution  “allows me to do whatever I want”  and pushed so many boundaries that curtailed past presidents ,  has little reason to fear the legislative branch nor any inclination to reach out in conciliation." I think the desire to make the Presidency a highly packaged deal, to penalize talking and free speech, enters into this case.   It is to the national advantage that the President "speaks softly and carries a big stick."  This is clearly better than the wild variety of Donald Trump.  However, that isn't and wasn't Mr. Donald Trump, a businessman and television personality among other things. Thus, I think the New York Times is rea
