Day 34
|Well, I'm pretty confident I DIDN'T win that immunity challenge. This game has winded it's way down to the near end, and we're the cream of the crop, yet I still have not won immunity! Luckily, Alejandro has a plan, as always, and I've been trying to get closer with the remaining castaways, to assure my spot in this Final 5.
| There were 2 big moves last tribal. Hunter, one of the huge threats in the game, is now out. Ivan, who keeps targeting me, went home first before me. I honestly think that these 2 people will gain a lot of jury votes when they reach the end, most specially Hunter. He's like the Malcolm Freberg of this season. He's such a good social, challenge, and strategic player. When he talked to me before that tribal about his plan, it was like "Malcolm talking to Dawn" moment.
I thought getting rid of Ivan will give me a relief, but I heard from Alejandro that Aston wants to blindside me. I was like, "Not again!!" It's not fun hearing that someone wants you out, but on the positive side, I have trustworthy allies that give me information, necessary information that will determine my next move.
Everyone thought that Ivan has the idol, but after the last tribal, it seems that he really doesn't have it. I'm really thinking that Alejandro has it, but he told me he doesn't have it. Amir doesn't seem to have it either. So I'm already thinking that Aston has it. If Aston really has the idol, it will be harder to get rid of him. So I'm counting now to Alejandro and Amir to make him feel safe.
The end is near. We are now down to 6, and soon, we'll be down to 5. I want to go to the final 3 with Amir and Alejandro. They are my most trusted in this game.
This is the time where I should be more determined, but for some reason, I am thinking that even if I make it to the end, I'm not sure if the jury will see me as someone who is worthy to win this game because I'm keeping myself quiet most of the time. I'm really not a social person, and making it this far is surprising for me. Anyway, let's just see what's gonna happen next.
|Personally, I really wish I had won immunity. Yes, I'll congratulate Amir, shake his hand, give him a pat on the back (virtually), whatever it takes to make him comfortable with me. Aaron and I are the only people in the Final 6 who have yet to win an immunity challenge, which is a bit disapointing, because I'm definitely a better player than people think I am, but I need to prove myself. I mean, c'mon, I'm in the Final 6, I must be doing something right, right?
Day 35
| So I just realized something. Aston, Amir and Aaron have been protecting Miggy since the beginning... Now I'm being to suspect that the final 3 is gonna be Aaron, Amir and Miggy. That's obviously something I can't do. I need to take out Miggy right now, as in at this point.
So I'm gonna spread a lie to Aaron that someone spilled on the plan to take him out and that Aston is gonna use an idol that he discovered (Since nobody knows who has the Taeguek or the Baekje Idol). And convince him that Miggy is the best person to take out.
Then, I'm gonna talk to Aston and convince him that Miggy is 100% with Aaron. And that it'll be easy to take out Aaron if we go to the final 5 without Miggy. That'll make Aston trust me even more and take out a huge threat.
Only Amir and Aaron know how well I'm playing this game right now, and I know for a fact that those two are smart people. Sooner or later, they're gonna realize that I'll be a huge threat for jury votes if I make it to the end.
|This is extremely scary. Aaron has the goguryeo idol and wants to target me. Alejandro says Miggy knows and is using his rings. Yet when I ask Miggy, nothing comes out. I have a feeling this will be artifact galore tonight. It will definitely be the most un-predictable, Insane tribal yet. I feel vulnerable. As of being targeted by A guy with an idol. Hopefully I can use my tactics and overthrow the power of the idol.....
| I am freaking out right now :)) But I think it's working. Aston and Aaron are targeting each other. I told Aston that Aaron had an idol, and told Aaron that Aston had an idol which made them scared :)) I also convinced both of them that Miggy is working against them :))
So now, since they're both scared of the idols. They both agreed to take out Miggy :D But of course, every bit of scrambling you do can blow up in your face. They could actually be plotting something against me now and I might be going home tonight if they start talking. But you know? everyone has been so protective of Miggy and it wouldn't make sense for Amir and Aaron to go to the end with me since they know how strong a player I am. So I need to re-think me whole strategy:
Boot order: Miggy, Aaron, Aston Final 3: Ryan, Amir and I
|I think I have come to a conclusion of voting Miggy. And if you see this Miggy, I'm sorry, but it was the move that needed to be made.
|Miggy's out! Ding-Dong, the witch is dead! Although it may seem a bit sinister that I'm rejoicing over one of my original tribe members getting the boot, it's glad our alliance has finally been successful. There's only two more eliminations (I hope!) until the Final 3, and I think I definitely have a chance at being there. My social game's gone up a lot, I've been trying to see where everyone's mind at, without them seeing where mine is. Alejandro have sort of been playing "dumb", where we examine everyone else's plans by claiming we don't have any of our own. I'd really like to win this next immunity challenge, for there's an idol still in play, and it'll most likely be played at the next Tribal Council. So, the safer, the better.
|Wow, the first two votes I receive are the first two votes that almost take me out of the game. It was sad taking Miggy out but if I didn't it would of been me. I am confused as why Amir had betrayed me because me him and Alejandro were going to the final 3. Assuming that its a final 3. I now am on the chopping block. Immunity is what I need. Desperately. I am being targeted by a guy with an idol! This is a very dangerous position.
| I'm not sure if I will be surprised that Miggy was voted out, because technically we planned to split the votes between Aston and Miggy, but I'm surprised that Aston didn't play an idol, and Miggy received 3 votes. I was expecting 2-2-1-1 votes actually. 2 for Aston (Me & Amir), 2 for Miggy (Ryan & Alejandro), 1 for Ryan (Miggy), and 1 for me (Aston). But the votes went 3-2-1 (3 for Miggy, 2 for Aston, and 1 for Ryan). So it means Aston voted for Miggy, which I am surprised.
Before voting, Alejandro was convincing me to play my idol. He was telling me that Aston "might" play his idol, and Aston and Miggy might vote me. He was also telling me that there is a huge possibility that we will draw rocks. And for safety, I should play my idol. In my mind I was like "What? Seriously?!" That time, the only person that I believe would want to vote for me is Aston, so there's no point for me to play my idol. I'm just not sure if Alejandro was just paranoid that time, or this is all his plan to finally vote out Miggy. Alejandro told us that Aston has the idol because Aston told him so, but for some reason I can't stop to think that Alejandro has it. He's one of the people who first got the clue about the idol, and he is capable of solving riddles. Anyway, I'm not sure why Alejandro would lie to me. He already told me once that he doesn't have the idol. I hope I'm just being paranoid or what. I don't want to overthink now. Alejandro and Amir are my closest allies in this game, specially Alejandro. No matter what happens, I want to go to the Final 3 with them. I've been working with them ever since.
| Miscommunication is an understatement to describe the last couple of days. People haven't been so quiet since the tribal stage, and quiet means only one thing - blindside. Another weird change of events was when Alejandro suddenly agreed to vote Aston out of the blue. I knew I couldn't trust this, so I decided to give my best efforts at the challenge to make sure I don't have to waste one of my idols.
Eventually I won the challenge, thanks to Excel. Oh, and Aaron used it too, but he was probably too lazy to make the final copy-pasting of all 300 answers, so I finished with a better time. I used the medallion just in case, and I thought it could hurt me, but people didn't seem to care I bought it with only 20$.
Then things started to get uneasy. Alejando brought up again his speculative theory that Aston and Miggy are a tight duo (which has nothing to do with reality, but it supported his obsession with voting Miggy off) and said "Aston told him he has the Baekje idol and he will use it at this TC, because nobody was talking to him and he felt in danger". YEAH RIGHT Let's put aside the fact Aston can't have that idol because I have it, and think about this logically - When someone is about to play the idol, he ISN'T GONNA TELL YOU he's playing it (unless it's the last time it could be played). And of course it makes no sense since Aston was aligned with us since Day 1 and he wouldn't have kept that info away for so long or pushing to vote off Ivan who could've been his cover. bottom line - Alejandro is lying. We ended up our argument about the vote with splitting between Aston and Miggy, but since I knew Aston is going to vote for Miggy anyway, I tried to make Aaron and Ryan vote for Aston too. I miserably failed.
This TC could be considered as a failure for me. However, one of the most important aspects of Survivor is the ability to turn a disadvantage into an advantage, and use your past failures to build up your future success. Miggy is in the jury, he's mad and bitter at Alejandro. If I end up in the final 3 with Aaron and Alejandro, his vote is mine since I had nothing to do with his elimination and I basically opposed the idea ever since. If I play my cards right at the final two votes, I can definitely pull a Sandra. I have the right jury and the right finalists for this, all I need is a bit of luck.

HIS TEAMMATES CALL HIM "T.D.," which is ironic because Thomas Davis has never scored a TD in his four-year NFL career.
Davis finally has points to his name, though, after Carolina's 20-17 victory against Washington on Sunday. Davis was credited with Carolina's first safety since 2006 against the Redskins. So in the Panthers' scoring column he now boasts exactly two points (the same number scored by Steve Smith).
For my money, Davis has made a greater impact this season for Carolina than anyone on the squad. On a team where it has too often seemed that the key players are either too old or too young, the 26-year-old Davis stands smack in the middle of his prime.
Davis has played well all season - a fact somewhat lost with Carolina's 1-3 start. He had an astonishing 18 tackles in the season opener against Philadelphia, which is about two games worth for most good linebackers. And he has followed that up with three more good games. If you had to pick a Panther MVP of the quarter-season, it would be No. 58.
"T.D. has done well," Panthers defensive coordinator Ron Meeks said. "We've had a lot of consistency out of him."
Davis has established himself as the Panthers' best blitzing linebacker. Carolina pointed him at the quarterback and said "go" constantly against Washington. Davis estimated he blitzed 10-15 times, and he loved it just like you would expect him to.
"You always want to be the guy that's sacking the quarterback and not just in coverage," Davis said.
Sometimes Davis blitzed on run plays, which is how the safety came about.
Washington tried to run Clinton Portis wide from its own 3 - a very questionable call in the first place. Davis knifed to the inside while Julius Peppers closed off the outside, forcing Portis to cut back in a desperate attempt to get out of his own end zone.
"All of that was Julius Peppers," Davis said.
Not really. Some, but not all. Portis is strong enough to make some players miss in that situation, but Davis has missed very few times all season when he has arrowed his way toward a ball carrier.
Davis was the Panthers' first-round draft choice in 2005 out of Georgia. The Panthers picked him almost in the same way that colleges recruit players as "athletes" instead of for a specific position.
When Davis came to Charlotte, it was unclear whether he would be better at safety or at linebacker. The Panthers weren't sure, either - they used him in a hybrid role at first and occasionally would have him shadow Michael Vick when playing the Falcons.
The answer, it turned out, was linebacker. Davis can cover a tight end in space, but it's not his forte.
"He's a fly-around linebacker," said Hollis Thomas, the Panthers' new 340-pound defensive tackle, and that's an apt description. Like middle linebacker Jon Beason, the best attribute Davis has is his speed.
In the "Cover-Two" or "Tampa Two" system employed by Meeks, the weakside linebacker has an opportunity to flow to the ball and make a lot of plays. Derrick Brooks thrived at the same position for years in Tampa Bay, making the Pro Bowl 11 times.
Davis has yet to sniff a Pro Bowl. But if the Panthers get some more wins and recognition, he will earn some serious consideration in 2009. So far this season he has two sacks, the safety and a team-high 48 tackles. He also has a welcome streak of modesty. Although Davis was originally credited for a pass breakup on fourth-and-3 against Washington, Davis kept telling reporters Sunday: "That wasn't me - it was one of the linemen."
For much of the first four games, however, it has been Davis.
As Panther head coach John Fox said Monday: "Thomas is having an excellent season. Unfortunately, the Panthers aren't. It hasn't been his fault."

Free proxies are undoubtedly the gateway drug to network attribution, and The Prox Is Right fills a void by providing a robust, diverse, real-time updated, third party catalog of presently active open proxies across all geographies.
The Prox is Right accomplishes this goal by continually searching the Internet for available proxies, and subsequently executing vast tests on the entire catalog with each pass. In each instance, we test multiple protocols (HTTPS, HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5), and based on which types succeed, we conduct further anonymity, user-agent filtering, and Google access tests.
- Browser user-agent filtering tests execute looking like a human's browser (and less like code) and determine if the proxy rejects the request.
- Google access tests make requests to Google, and parse the results to determine if Google allowed the request and provided the expected result rather than a captcha or outright block.
- Anonymity tests use our own destination servers and inspect all the headers the proxy forwards on, which to varying degrees can expose that a proxy was used, and in many cases the IP address of the initiating request.
The results are available to consumers by download in common formats (CSV, JSON, XML, and text), via an API, the Web, integration with proxy plugins, or through The Prox is Right's SMS/hotline. Available proxies are searchable by country, type, uptime, latency, anonymity, Google support, browser support, port, and IP address.
While access to the always changing list is designed to be a free service, there are premium plans available for the power user. One paid offering enables unlimited use of the API (as opposed to a 10/day limit), another provides a daily email for life of all presently-active proxies broken down into various formats, and lastly, for the enterprise use-case, one has access to thousands of highly available, low latency, frequently curated and rotated private business-class proxies.
What distinguishes The Prox is Right from other proxy aggregators and checkers is its breadth of access for both humans and machines — and the simple fact that we are not holding anything back. Simply put, The Prox is Right provides a pain-free, real-time updated Internet resource for public consumption.
Looking ahead, the plan is to continue expanding and evolving the service as needs arise. For instance, additional aggregation efforts, expanded tests and the resulting exposed insights on the proxies are all possible avenues of expression.
It's important to note for some the issues inherent in free proxies (i.e. uptime, reliability, latency, blocking by content/service providers, etc.) make it difficult to conduct extensive web harvesting/scraping, automated data collection, volume scraping or machine-driven collection. In these instances, it makes sense to check out Ntrepid's Enterprise-class Proxies, where one forgoes the engineering and patience costs required to use open proxies, for a premium fee where proxies really just work as one could best envision.

So let's go back that lovely day of 11th of October. Just across the Notre Dame Cathedral is the Central Post Office. You'll never miss it because it's a bright yellow-colored building. Aside from being a famous tourist destination, it still is a functioning post office. You can go there and mail some letters or post cards to your loved ones back home. But of course, me and my friend just took some pictures.
|See those intricate carvings?
Inside, you can see the portrait of Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese Communist revolutionary leader who became prime minister and president of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
|Seeing something familiar
One of the best things that I saw inside the building was this lovely couple sitting beside each other. The old lady seemed like writing something while the old man was looking at the interior of the building. The perfect picture of traveling and seeing the world together even though they're old. Hashtag relationship goals!
There are also some shops near inside the building selling a variety of colorful and beautiful souvenir items.

The 97th running of the Indianapolis 500 will take place on Sunday, May 26, 2013 at 12:12 p.m. EDT.
During the pre-race events on Friday, rain will not be an issue. "It will be really nice on Friday with cooler than average temperatures and mostly sunny skies," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Erik Pindrock.
The temperatures will stay in the mid to upper 60s throughout the day.
"Saturday, some clouds will move in and temperatures will remain in the 60s," Pindrock said. There will only be a slight chance of precipitation later in the evening.
During the race on Sunday, temperatures will be in the mid to upper 60s with a high of 70 forecast for the day.
"The skies will be variably cloudy with a risk of a few showers," Pindrock said.
Should rain fall during the race, delays will be necessary. "We deal with rain all the time," said an unofficially spokesperson at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway who declined to be identified.
"We will use track dryers and postponements in the event of rain," he said. "The cars can not use different tires and run in the rain due to the oval shape of the track."

Strong Quotes (72 quotes)
Die ganze Natur ist ein gewaltiges Ringen zwischen Kraft und Schwache, ein ewiger Sieg des Starken über den Schwachen.
The whole of Nature is a mighty struggle between strength and weakness, an eternal victory of the strong over the weak.
The whole of Nature is a mighty struggle between strength and weakness, an eternal victory of the strong over the weak.
[On the propulsive force of rockets] One part of fire takes up as much space as ten parts of air, and one part of air takes up the space of ten parts of water, and one part of water as much as ten parts of earth. Now powder is earth, consisting of the four elementary principles, and when the sulfur conducts the fire into the dryest part of the powder, fire, and air increase the other elements also gird themselves for battle with each other and the rage of battle is changed by their heat and moisture into a strong wind.
A just society must strive with all its might to right wrongs even if righting wrongs is a highly perilous undertaking. But if it is to survive, a just society must be strong and resolute enough to deal swiftly and relentlessly with those who would mistake its good will for weakness.
A person with strength of character is one who has strong feelings, and strong command over them.
A single and distinct luminous body causes stronger relief in the objects than a diffused light; as may be seen by comparing one side of a landscape illuminated by the sun, and one overshadowed by clouds, and illuminated only by the diffused light of the atmosphere.
A smattering of everything is worth little. It is a fallacy to suppose that an encyclopaedic knowledge is desirable. The mind is made strong, not through much learning, but by the thorough possession of something.
All our knowledge derived from observation is knowledge gotten at first hand. Hereby we see and know things as they are, or as they appear to us; we take the impressions of them on our minds from the original objects themselves which give a clearer and stronger conception of things.
Astrophysicists closing in on the grand structure of matter and emptiness in the universe are ruling out the meatball theory, challenging the soap bubble theory, and putting forward what may be the strongest theory of all: that the cosmos is organized like a sponge.
Breed is stronger than pasture.
Certainlie these things agree,
The Priest, the Lawyer, & Death all three:
Death takes both the weak and the strong.
The lawyer takes from both right and wrong,
And the priest from living and dead has his Fee.
The Priest, the Lawyer, & Death all three:
Death takes both the weak and the strong.
The lawyer takes from both right and wrong,
And the priest from living and dead has his Fee.
Champions arent made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside thema desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
Cosmic religiousness is the strongest and most noble driving force of scientific research.
Do the days work. If it be to protect the rights of the weak, whoever objects, do it. If it be to help a powerful corporation better to serve the people, whatever the opposition, do that. Expect to be called a stand-patter, but dont be a stand-patter. Expect to be called a demagogue, but dont be a demagogue. Dont hesitate to be as revolutionary as science. Dont hesitate to be as reactionary as the multiplication table. Dont expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong. Dont hurry to legislate. Give administration a chance to catch up with legislation.
Every son of science feels a strong & disinterested desire of promoting it in every part of the earth.
Evolution is a hard, inescapable mistress. There is just no room for compassion or good sportsmanship. Too many organisms are born, so, quite simply, a lot of them are going to have to die because there isn't enough food and space to go around. You can be beautiful, fast and strong, but it might not matter. The only thing that does matter is, whether you leave more children carrying your genes than the next person leaves. Its true whether youre a prince, a frog, or an American elm.
He who has heard the same thing told by twelve thousand ocular [eye]witnesses, has only twelve thousand probabilities, equal to one strong one, which is not equal to certainty.
Hope is the companion of power and the mother of success, for those of us who hope strongest have within us the gift of miracles.
I am a great believer in the simplicity of things and as you probably know I am inclined to hang on to broad & simple ideas like grim death until evidence is too strong for my tenacity.
I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research.
I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
— Bible
I was working with these very long-chain extended-chain polymers, where you had a lot of benzene rings in them. Transforming a polymer solution from a liquid to a fiber requires a process called spinning. We spun it and it spun beautifully. It [Kevlar] was very strong and very stiffunlike anything we had made before. I knew that I had made a discovery. I didnt shout Eureka! but I was very excited, as was the whole laboratory excited, and management was excited, because we were looking for something new. Something different. And this was it.
I would rather have a big burden and a strong back, than a weak back and a caddy to carry lifes luggage.
If Darwin were alive today the insect world would delight and astound him with its impressive verification of his theories of the survival of the fittest. Under the stress of intensive chemical spraying the weaker members of the insect populations are being weeded out . Only the strong and fit remain to defy our efforts to control them.
If we stay strong, then I believe we can stabilize the world and have peace based on force. Now, peace based on force is not as good as peace based on agreement, but I think that for the time being the only peace that we can have is the peace based on force.
In my experience most mathematicians are intellectually lazy and especially dislike reading experimental papers. He (René Thom) seemed to have very strong biological intuitions but unfortunately of negative sign.
In the presence of infinite might and infinite wisdom, the strength of the strongest man is but weakness, and the keenest of mortal eyes see but dimly.
It is easy to overlook this thought that life just is. As humans we are inclined to feel that life must have a point. We have plans and aspirations and desires. We want to take constant advantage of the intoxicating existence weve been endowed with. But whats life to a lichen? Yet its impulse to exist, to be, is every bit as strong as ours-arguably even stronger. If I were told that I had to spend decades being a furry growth on a rock in the woods, I believe I would lose the will to go on. Lichens dont. Like virtually all living things, they will suffer any hardship; endure any insult, for a moments additions existence. Life, in short just wants to be.
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most responsive to change.
It is therefore easy to see why the churches have always fought science and persecuted its devotees. On the other hand, I maintain that the cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research. Only those who realize the immense efforts and, above all, the devotion without which pioneer work in theoretical science cannot be achieved are able to grasp the strength of the emotion out of which alone such work, remote as it is from the immediate realities of life, can issue. What a deep conviction of the rationality of the universe and what a yearning to understand, were it but a feeble reflection of the mind revealed in this world, Kepler and Newton must have had to enable them to spend years of solitary labor in disentangling the principles of celestial mechanics! Those whose acquaintance with scientific research is derived chiefly from its practical results easily develop a completely false notion of the mentality of the men who, surrounded by a skeptical world, have shown the way to kindred spirits scattered wide through the world and through the centuries. Only one who has devoted his life to similar ends can have a vivid realization of what has inspired these men and given them the strength to remain true to their purpose in spite of countless failures. It is cosmic religious feeling that gives a man such strength. A contemporary has said, not unjustly, that in this materialistic age of ours the serious scientific workers are the only profoundly religious people.
It must happen that in some cases the author is not understood, or is very imperfectly understood; and the question is what is to be done. After giving a reasonable amount of attention to the passage, let the student pass on, reserving the obscurity for future efforts. The natural tendency of solitary students, I believe, is not to hurry away prematurely from a hard passage, but to hang far too long over it; the just pride that does not like to acknowledge defeat, and the strong will that cannot endure to be thwarted, both urge to a continuance of effort even when success seems hopeless. It is only by experience we gain the conviction that when the mind is thoroughly fatigued it has neither the power to continue with advantage its course in .an assigned direction, nor elasticity to strike out a new path; but that, on the other hand, after being withdrawn for a time from the pursuit, it may return and gain the desired end.
It was obvious—to me at any rate—that the answer was to why an enzyme is able to speed up a chemical reaction by as much as 10 million times. It had to do this by lowering the energy of activation—the energy of forming the activated complex. It could do this by forming strong bonds with the activated complex, but only weak bonds with the reactants or products.
Like water, be gentle and strong. Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth, and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world.
Logic is the hygiene the mathematician practices to keep his ideas healthy and strong.
Mathematicians create by acts of insight and intuition. Logic then sanctions the conquests of intuition. It is the hygiene that mathematics practices to keep its ideas healthy and strong. Moreover, the whole structure rests fundamentally on uncertain ground, the intuition of humans. Here and there an intuition is scooped out and replaced by a firmly built pillar of thought; however, this pillar is based on some deeper, perhaps less clearly defined, intuition. Though the process of replacing intuitions with precise thoughts does not change the nature of the ground on which mathematics ultimately rests, it does add strength and height to the structure.
Modern civilisation rests upon physical science; take away her gifts to our own country, and our position among the leading nations of the world is gone to-morrow; for it is physical science only that makes intelligence and moral energy stronger than brute force
Nothing is more humbling than to look with a strong magnifying glass at an insect so tiny that the naked eye sees only the barest speck and to discover that nevertheless it is sculpted and articulated and striped with the same care and imagination as a zebra. Apparently it does not occur to nature whether or not a creature is within our range of vision, and the suspicion arises that even the zebra was not designed for our benefit.
Of all the conceptions of the human mind from unicorns to gargoyles to the hydrogen bomb perhaps the most fantastic is the black hole: a hole in space with a definite edge over which anything can fall and nothing can escape; a hole with a gravitational field so strong that even light is caught and held in its grip; a hole that curves space and warps time.
On the day of Cromwells death, when Newton was sixteen, a great storm raged all over England. He used to say, in his old age, that on that day he made his first purely scientific experiment. To ascertain the force of the wind, he first jumped with the wind and then against it; and, by comparing these distances with the extent of his own jump on a calm day, he was enabled to compute the force of the storm. When the wind blew thereafter, he used to say it was so many feet strong.
One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.
Perhaps the strongest bond of sympathy between mathematics and poetry, however, is the endless invention of each. Dr. Johnson remarked, The essence of poetry is invention; such invention as, by producing something unexpected, surprises and delights; but he might have said the same of mathematics.
Plasticity, then, in the wide sense of the word, means the possession of a structure weak enough to yield to an influence, but strong enough not to yield all at once. Each relatively stable phase of equilibrium in such a structure is marked by what we may call a new set of habits. Organic matter, especially nervous tissue, seems endowed with a very extraordinary degree of plasticity of this sort ; so that we may without hesitation lay down as our first proposition the following, that the phenomena of habit in living beings are due to plasticity of the organic materials of which their bodies are composed.
Somehow I am not distressed that the human order must veil all our interactions with the universe, for the veil is translucent, however strong its texture.
Standing now in diffused light, with the wind at my back, I experience suddenly a feeling of completenessnot a feeling of having achieved something or of being stronger than everyone who was ever here before, not a feeling of having arrived at the ultimate point, not a feeling of supremacy. Just a breath of happiness deep inside my mind and my breast. The summit seemed suddenly to me to be a refuge, and I had not expected to find any refuge up here. Looking at the steep, sharp ridges below us, I have the impression that to have come later would have been too late. Everything we now say to one another, we only say out of embarrassment. I dont think anymore. As I pull the tape recorder, trancelike, from my rucksack, and switch it on wanting to record a few appropriate phrases, tears again well into my eyes. Now we are on the summit of Everest, I begin, it is so cold that we cannot take photographs I cannot go on, I am immediately shaken with sobs. I can neither talk nor think, feeling only how this momentous experience changes everything. To reach only a few meters below the summit would have required the same amount of effort, the same anxiety and burden of sorrow, but a feeling like this, an eruption of feeling, is only possible on the summit itself.
Strong, deeply rooted desire is the starting point of all achievement. Just as the electron is the last unit of matter discernible to the scientist. DESIRE is the seed of all achievement; the starting place, back of which there is nothing, or at least there is nothing of which we have any knowledge.
Students should learn to study at an early stage the great works of the great masters instead of making their minds sterile through the everlasting exercises of college, which are of no use whatever, except to produce a new Arcadia where indolence is veiled under the form of useless activity. Hard study on the great models has ever brought out the strong; and of such must be our new scientific generation if it is to be worthy of the era to which it is born and of the struggles to which it is destined.
Suddenly there was an enormous explosion, like a violent volcano. The nuclear reactions had led to overheating in the underground burial grounds. The explosion poured radioactive dust and materials high up into the sky. It was just the wrong weather for such a tragedy. Strong winds blew the radioactive clouds hundreds of miles away. It was difficult to gauge the extent of the disaster immediately, and no evacuation plan was put into operation right away. Many villages and towns were only ordered to evacuate when the symptoms of radiation sickness were already quite apparent. Tens of thousands of people were affected, hundreds dying, though the real figures have never been made public. The large area, where the accident happened, is still considered dangerous and is closed to the public.
Tactics used by many practitioners of pseudoscience: make a large number of vaguely scientific arguments in the hope of making the desired conclusion seem inevitable. It is essential to recognize that a disconnected assemblage of weak arguments does not create a single, strong scientific argument.
Thats the news from Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.
The analogies between science and art are very good as long as you are talking about the creation and the performance. The creation is certainly very analogous. The aesthetic pleasure of the craftsmanship of performance is also very strong in science.
The child asks, What is the moon, and why does it shine? What is this water and where does it run? What is this wind? What makes the waves of the sea? Where does this animal live, and what is the use of this plant? And if not snubbed and stunted by being told not to ask foolish questions, there is no limit to the intellectual craving of a young child; nor any bounds to the slow, but solid, accretion of knowledge and development of the thinking faculty in this way. To all such questions, answers which are necessarily incomplete, though true as far as they go, may be given by any teacher whose ideas represent real knowledge and not mere book learning; and a panoramic view of Nature, accompanied by a strong infusion of the scientific habit of mind, may thus be placed within the reach of every child of nine or ten.
The degree of exactness of the intuition of space may be different in different individuals, perhaps even in different races. It would seem as if a strong naive space-intuition were an attribute pre-eminently of the Teutonic race, while the critical, purely logical sense is more fully developed in the Latin and Hebrew races. A full investigation of this subject, somewhat on the lines suggested by Francis Gallon in his researches on heredity, might be interesting.
The earliest of my childhood recollections is being taken by my grandfather when he set out in the first warm days of early spring with a grubbing hoe (we called it a mattock) on his shoulder to seek the plants, the barks and roots from which the spring medicine for the household was prepared. If I could but remember all that went into that mysterious decoction and the exact method of preparation, and with judicious advertisement put the product upon the market, I would shortly be possessed of wealth which might be made to serve the useful purpose of increasing the salaries of all pathologists. But, alas! I remember only that the basic ingredients were dogwood bark and sassafras root, and to these were added q.s. bloodroot, poke and yellow dock. That the medicine benefited my grandfather I have every reason to believe, for he was a hale, strong old man, firm in body and mind until the infection came against which even spring medicine was of no avail. That the medicine did me good I well know, for I can see before me even now the green on the south hillside of the old pasture, the sunlight in the strip of wood where the dogwood grew, the bright blossoms and the delicate pale green of the leaf of the sanguinaria, and the even lighter green of the tender buds of the sassafras in the hedgerow, and it is good to have such pictures deeply engraved in the memory.
The heart is an exceedingly strong muscle. It contains two separate cavities.
The individual feels the futility of human desires and aims and the sublimity and marvelous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the world of thought. Individual existence impresses him as a sort of prison and he wants to experience the universe as a single significant whole. The beginnings of cosmic religious feeling already appear at an early stage of development, e.g., in many of the Psalms of David and in some of the Prophets. Buddhism, as we have learned especially from the wonderful writings of Schopenhauer, contains a much stronger element of this. The religious geniuses of all ages have been distinguished by this kind of religious feeling, which knows no dogma and no God conceived in mans image; so that there can be no church whose central teachings are based on it. Hence it is precisely among the heretics of every age that we find men who were filled with this highest kind of religious feeling and were in many cases regarded by their contemporaries as atheists, sometimes also as saints. Looked at in this light, men like Democritus, Francis of Assisi, and Spinoza are closely akin to one another.
The language of the street is always strong. What can describe the folly and emptiness of scolding like the word jawing?
The moral faculties are generally and justly esteemed as of higher value than the intellectual powers. But we should bear in mind that the activity of the mind in vividly recalling past impressions is one of the fundamental though secondary bases of conscience. This affords the strongest argument for educating and stimulating in all possible ways the intellectual faculties of every human being.
The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads. And not of the Upanishads only. The mystical experience of the union with God regularly leads to this view, unless strong prejudices stand in the West.
The opinion of Bacon on this subject [geometry] was diametrically opposed to that of the ancient philosophers. He valued geometry chiefly, if not solely, on account of those uses, which to Plato appeared so base. And it is remarkable that the longer Bacon lived the stronger this feeling became. When in 1605 he wrote the two books on the Advancement of Learning, he dwelt on the advantages which mankind derived from mixed mathematics; but he at the same time admitted that the beneficial effect produced by mathematical study on the intellect, though a collateral advantage, was no less worthy than that which was principal and intended. But it is evident that his views underwent a change. When near twenty years later, he published the De Augmentis, which is the Treatise on the Advancement of Learning, greatly expanded and carefully corrected, he made important alterations in the part which related to mathematics. He condemned with severity the pretensions of the mathematicians, delidas et faslum mathematicorum. Assuming the well-being of the human race to be the end of knowledge, he pronounced that mathematical science could claim no higher rank than that of an appendage or an auxiliary to other sciences. Mathematical science, he says, is the handmaid of natural philosophy; she ought to demean herself as such; and he declares that he cannot conceive by what ill chance it has happened that she presumes to claim precedence over her mistress.
The strongest affection and utmost zeal should, I think, promote the studies concerned with the most beautiful objects. This is the discipline that deals with the universes divine revolutions, the stars motions, sizes, distances, risings and settings . . . for what is more beautiful than heaven?
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Idea's won't keep. Something must be done about them. When the idea is new, its custodians have fervour, live for it, and, if need be, die for it. Their inheritors receive the idea, perhaps now strong and successful, but without inheriting the fervour; so the idea settles down to a comfortable middle age, turns senile, and dies.
There are then two kinds of intellect: the one able to penetrate acutely and deeply into the conclusions of given premises, and this is the precise intellect; the other able to comprehend a great number of premises without confusing them, and this is the mathematical intellect. The one has force and exactness, the other comprehension. Now the one quality can exist without the other; the intellect can be strong and narrow, and can also be comprehensive and weak.
There is only one reason why men become addicted to drugs they are weak men. Only strong men are cured, and they cure themselves.
To the east was our giant neighbor Makalu, unexplored and unclimbed, and even on top of Everest the mountaineering instinct was sufficient strong to cause me to spend some moments conjecturing as to whether a route up that mountain might not exist. Far away across the clouds the great bulk of Kangchenjunga loomed on the horizon. To the west, Cho Oyu, our old adversary from 1952, dominated the scene and we could see the great unexplored ranges of Nepal stretching off into the distance. The most important photograph, I felt, was a shot down the north ridge, showing the North Col and the old route that had been made famous by the struggles of those great climbers of the 1920s and 1930s. I had little hope of the results being particularly successful, as I had a lot of difficulty in holding the camera steady in my clumsy gloves, but I felt that they would at least serve as a record. After some ten minutes of this, I realized that I was becoming rather clumsy-fingered and slow-moving, so I quickly replaced my oxygen set and experience once more the stimulating effect of even a few liters of oxygen. Meanwhile, Tenzing had made a little hole in the snow and in it he placed small articles of food a bar of chocolate, a packet of biscuits and a handful of lollies. Small offerings, indeed, but at least a token gifts to the gods that all devoted Buddhists believe have their home on this lofty summit. While we were together on the South Col two days before, Hunt had given me a small crucifix that he had asked me to take to the top. I, too, made a hole in the snow and placed the crucifix beside Tenzings gifts.
Unfortunately, the study of organic remains is beset with two evils, which, though of an opposite character, do not neutralize each other so much as at first sight might be anticipated: the one consisting of a strong desire to find similar organic remains in supposed equivalent deposits, even at great distances; the other being an equally strong inclination to discover new species, often as it would seem for the sole purpose of appending the apparently magical word nobis.
We all know, from what we experience with and within ourselves, that our conscious acts spring from our desires and our fears. Intuition tells us that that is true also of our fellows and of the higher animals. We all try to escape pain and death, while we seek what is pleasant. We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race. Hunger, love, pain, fear are some of those inner forces which rule the individuals instinct for self preservation. At the same time, as social beings, we are moved in the relations with our fellow beings by such feelings as sympathy, pride, hate, need for power, pity, and so on. All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of mans actions. All such action would cease if those powerful elemental forces were to cease stirring within us. Though our conduct seems so very different from that of the higher animals, the primary instincts are much alike in them and in us. The most evident difference springs from the important part which is played in man by a relatively strong power of imagination and by the capacity to think, aided as it is by language and other symbolical devices. Thought is the organizing factor in man, intersected between the causal primary instincts and the resulting actions. In that way imagination and intelligence enter into our existence in the part of servants of the primary instincts. But their intervention makes our acts to serve ever less merely the immediate claims of our instincts.
We all remember the fairy tales of science in our infancy, which played with the supposition that large animals could jump in the proportion of small ones. If an elephant were as strong as a grasshopper, he could (I suppose) spring clean out of the Zoological Gardens and alight trumpeting upon Primrose Hill. If a whale could leap from the water like a trout, perhaps men might look up and see one soaring above Yarmouth like the winged island of Laputa.
We know that the probability of well-established induction is great, but, when we are asked to name its degree we cannot. Common sense tells us that some inductive arguments are stronger than others, and that some are very strong. But how much stronger or how strong we cannot express.
We must reject the false choice between combating climate change and fostering strong economic growth. If any country can prove that, its the United States.
What I chiefly admired, and thought altogether unaccountable, was the strong disposition I observed in them [the mathematicians of Laputa] towards news and politics; perpetually inquiring into public affairs; giving their judgments in matters of state; and passionately disputing every inch of party opinion. I have indeed observed the same disposition among most of the mathematicians I have known in Europe, although I could never discover the least analogy between the two sciences.
When I was a little over eight years old, I was sent to a day-school . [By this time] my taste for natural history, and more especially for collecting, was well developed. I tried to make out the names of plants, and collected all sorts of things, shells, seals, franks, coins, and minerals. The passion for collecting which leads a man to be a systematic naturalist, a virtuoso, or a miser, was very strong in me.
When the disease is stronger than the patient, the physician will not be able to help him at all, and if the strength of the patient is greater than the strength of the disease, he does not need a physician at all. But when both are equal, he needs a physician who will support the patients strength and help him against the disease.

You cannot put a rope around the neck of an idea; you cannot put an idea up against a barrack-square wall and riddle it with bullets; you cannot confine it in the strongest prison cell that your slaves could ever build.
