Hyperions Schiksaalslied


Hyperions Schiksaalslied

Ihr wandelt droben im Licht
Auf weichem Boden, seelige Genien!
Glänzende Götterlüfte
Rühren euch leicht,
Wie die Finger der Künstlerin
Heilige Saiten.


Schiksaallos, wie der schlafende
Säugling, athmen die Himmlischen;
Keusch bewahrt
In bescheidener Knospe,
Blühet ewig
Ihnen der Geist,
Und die seeligen Augen
Bliken in stiller
Ewiger Klarheit.


Doch uns ist gegeben,
Auf keiner Stätte zu ruhn,
Es schwinden, es fallen
Die leidenden Menschen
Blindlings von einer
Stunde zur andern,
Wie Wasser von Klippe
Zu Klippe geworfen,
Jahr lang ins Ungewisse hinab.



Ecce Nietzsche

 MOTTO

Z wyroku bogów Syzyf musiał nieustannie toczyć pod górę głaz,
który,
znalazłszy się na szczycie,
spadał siłą własnego ciężaru .
Bogowie nie bez racji doszli do wniosku,
że nie ma straszniejszej kary
niż praca bezużyteczna i bez nadziei.

Albert Camus


 



To feralne słowo dla mnie..w 2007 gdy szukałem w słownikach j.a. - znajdowałem
oczywiście tylko "block"  i kilka, lub kilkanaście określeń jak najbardziej pejoratywnych..
(Vide Home Study Dictionary  Peter Haddock LTD str.75) - o wersji polskiej nie wspominając.
..
Wracam do tematu - często - prowadzę  swoiste  notatki czynności  na papierze
- ponieważ po 11 latach obserwacji użytkownika mam sporo  kłopotów - tylko po co?
..
Jednej sprawy nie rozumiem; dlaczego lekceważy się w internecie uprawnienia blogera jako wydawcy (tak!)
i autora równocześnie.
..
Jeśli na przykład "moderator" witryny zabawia się treścią, czy formą,
czy - niszczy całe przedsięwzięcie - gdzie można się udać?
..
W USA - do Sądu to oczywiste, ale tutaj?
Czy nowe zasady świadczenia usług Google -od 22 stycznia 2019 - będą
kolidowały z prawem autorskim( i pochodnymi) kraju  użytkownika, lub niebawem
UE - sprawy będą rozpatrywały Sądy w Irlandii? ..nie w USA?
..
Oczywiste - Google maja omnipotencje na swoich witrynach, ale to wszystko
co ustanawia się tam jako "polityka treści", zasady  "świadczenia usług"
- jest po prostu regulaminem "władztwa zakładowego" - i przy kolizji z ustawa,
czy to krajową czy UE - dla każdego racjonalnego Sadu - są  drugorzędne.
..
Mnie frapuje zapis o udzielaniu "licencji Google" - ważnej na całym świecie (!)
- przy równoczesnym zachowaniu prawa własności intelektualnej, autorstwa etc..
Czy Ktoś nie rozumie pojęcia "licencja" - i o co w tym wszystkim chodzi?
Przecież zobaczymy.
..
Nb - 21 lipca 2017 roku zniknął mój blog Forum Pascal PRALNIA..który prowadziłem
ponad dziewięć lat i zamieściłem tam kilkanaście tysięcy zdjęć - unikanych - nie tylko dla mnie.
Oczywiście, że mam je na dyskach,  tylko moją pracę z publikacją etc. podeptano
- tu chodzi o ca 16 tys.postów i tysiące godzin pracy - bez jakichkolwiek wyjaśnień; tak po prostu.
..
Gdy analizowałem sytuację wykolegowano mnie najpierw co do funkcji administratora bloga,
na co nie zwracałem uwagi - później numer ten powtarzano, ale już protestowałem..
..
Ta oczywista nierównowaga użytkownika witryny i właściciela, który nie liczy się z niczym
- tak po prostu - może wszystko (jego zdaniem) - czy to czegoś nie przypomina z historii?
..

MEMENTO!

MIT SYZYFA!

Jalże Syzyf musiał nienawidzić swojej pracy, kto to powiedział,
że nie ma straszniejszej  KARY niż praca bez sensu...?
Ależ oczywiście , że tak..(.. - Albert Camus..

The holidays can be a time of stress and sadness as well as joy. In this "Little Happier" episode, I talk about reminding myself to enjoy this moment and this time of life. Everything changes; the days are long, but the years are short.

The American Jubilee

A Message From Porter Stansberry

Hi, my name is Porter Stansberry.
You may not know me, but nearly 20 years ago, I started a financial research and education business called Stansberry Research.
Today we have offices in the U.S., Hong Kong, and Singapore. We serve more than half a million paid customers in virtually every country (172 at last count). We have nearly 500 employees, including dozens of financial analysts, corporate attorneys, accountants, technology experts, former hedge fund managers, and even a medical doctor.
But what really sets us apart in the financial industry is our independence. We don't accept advertising. And we don't manage money.
So we're not hamstrung like major newspapers who can't offend advertisers. And we're not beholden to politicians for financial licenses. We operate under the protection of the First Amendment—so we can afford to be brutally honest about whatever is most important to our subscribers.
You see, I've been studying these ideas for more than 20 years, and I've been one of the lucky Americans.
My parents weren't rich. We were middle class, and lived in a modest house. We had a mortgage. But, my dad worked for Coca-Cola. And the company had an employee stock program. My dad was wise enough to buy as much stock as they would let him... for years and years.
As our country experienced a financial boom, my family benefitted because we were part of the "asset owners" and not just the wage earners.
That was very lucky. And it led to wealth for my parents: a second home in the mountains, travel, and college for my siblings and me.
That experience planted a seed in me.
I remember my dad checking the price of Coke stock every morning in the early 1980s. I remember thinking how incredible it was that through the stock market you could become an owner of almost any kind of business in the world, and how making the right decisions with your money could dramatically transform your life.
And so I've spent my entire adult life helping people all around the world understand how investing works... the benefits, the pitfalls... and exactly what to buy and what to avoid.
I started my investment research firm in 1999, during the last big investment mania (Internet stocks.) I helped investors profit... and get them out before the crash.
And that's exactly what we're trying to do again today.
What's coming next in our country will be a lot worse than the tech crash. It will be a lot worse than the mortgage crisis too. And I can tell you that no matter how sound your financial footing, this is the most important issue facing you and your money today.
Sincerely,
Porter Stansberry

Inequality: How Wealth Becomes Power



Storyline
Wealth inequality is an issue throughout much of the world. Its prominence is particularly troubling in one of the wealthiest countries - Germany - as the divide between the rich and the poverty-stricken is rapidly deepening. The astute documentary Inequality: How Wealth Becomes Power examines the possible explanations for this widening gap.
Which factors might come into play when assessing why some attain tremendous wealth and influence while others continuously struggle to keep their head above the poverty line. Does it speak to a person's upbringing or work ethic? Is the system stacked against them somehow? The film highlights not only statistical data related to the poor, but rarely examined data on the rise of the elite as well.
Christoph Groner came from relatively modest means. Working as a young man in construction, he seized an opportunity to invest in an ebbing real estate market. Once the market rebounded, however, he profited handsomely and became one of the most prosperous developers in the country. His apartments and other residential buildings are overwhelmingly occupied by wealthy outsiders. The actual residents who have long lived in any given German city are increasingly priced out of his properties.
Groner defends his position as perfectly legal, and dismisses the distance between his status and the plight of the poor as an unfair comparison. Other subjects in the film follow suit, including those who have accumulated their wealth by means of centuries-old inheritance. Still, it's hard to defend a system where money only produces more money for the wealthy, but fails to work for the lower classes who haven't seen a wage increase in decades.
The vast majority of income gains have flooded in for those who are already on the upper echelon of the economic ladder. The middle class has officially shrunk. It's a dynamic that has spread all across the world, especially in the face of increased globalization.
Inequality: How Wealth Becomes Power features insights from a team of esteemed economic researchers who all diagnose a depraved system and prescribe a long-overdue societal reckoning. What kind of society do we want to be? In their view, a continuation of the inequality trend is both untenable and inhumane.

Your Thursday Briefing
By INYOUNG KANG
Good morning.
The U.S. says it's leaving Syria, an attorney general sues Facebook and Der Spiegel fires a writer for deception. Here's the latest:
Lt. Gen. Paul Funk, second from the left, spoke to a Special Forces soldier outside the northern Syrian city of Manbij earlier this year. Lt. Gen. Paul Funk, second from the left, spoke to a Special Forces soldier outside the northern Syrian city of Manbij earlier this year.
Mauricio Lima for The New York Times
President Trump orders a full withdrawal from Syria
All 2,000 U.S. ground troops were ordered out of Syria, suddenly ending a military campaign that largely vanquished the Islamic State but ceding a strategically vital country to Russia and Iran.
"We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency," the president said in a Twitter post. The White House did not provide a timetable or other specifics for the pullout.
Lawmakers and Pentagon officials argued that the move would betray Kurdish allies who have fought alongside American troops in Syria, and who could now be vulnerable to an attack by Turkey.
Analysis: Mr. Trump believes that U.S. forces cannot alter the strategic balance in the Middle East and should not be there — a view that Barack Obama fundamentally shared, our national security correspondent writes.
Another angle: The abrupt withdrawal is seen by analysts as an abandonment of key U.S. allies in Syria and a boon for the Islamic State, which still controls territory in the country's southeast.

Minh Uong/The New York Times
Facebook is sued over Cambridge Analytica
The lawsuit brought by the attorney general of the District of Columbia, Karl Racine, is a first step by a state attorney general to punish the social media giant for privacy violations.
The New York Times and other news organizations reported in March that Cambridge Analytica, a political consulting firm based in London, had improperly obtained the data of as many as 87 million Facebook users.
In Mr. Racine's lawsuit, he said that roughly half of Washington's residents had been exposed by Cambridge Analytica's data harvesting. He also said Facebook had misled people about the security of their data.
Another angle: If being overwhelmed by the scale of all these online privacy scandals seems familiar, it should. It's a lot like climate change.
What you can do: If you've had enough, here are six steps you can take to break up with Facebook for good.

U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates
The widely expected quarter-point increase signaled confidence in the health of the U.S. economy.
The Fed's chairman, Jerome H. Powell, said the choppy global economy and the recent sell-off in stocks had gotten the Fed's attention, but he called the move "appropriate."
U.S. stocks erased early gains after the announcement, which also indicated that rates would continue to be raised next year.
Markets were well prepared for a rate increase, but policymakers had also been expected to calm jittery investors by emphasizing that further increases in 2019 would depend on sustained economic growth.
What it means for you: Rising interest rates have consequences for savers and spenders alike.

Der Spiegel fires an award-winning journalist
The German magazine said the writer, Claas Relotius, had engaged in fabrication "on a grand scale," weaving invented quotations and characters into more than a dozen major articles.
Mr. Relotius, 33, had written for Der Spiegel since 2011. He admitted to making up parts of at least 14 articles, the magazine said, adding that the figure could rise.
The details: In one article, about Fergus Falls, Minn., Mr. Relotius told of a coal plant employee who did not exist, related an anecdote about a restaurant employee to whom he gave a fictional illness and a misnamed son, and described the view of a power plant from a cafe whose windows provided no such view, according to two residents of the town who researched his claims.
More fabrications: Other articles with false or manipulated material included several that were nominated for prizes, including stories about Iraqi children kidnapped by the Islamic State, a prisoner at Guantánamo Bay and Syrian orphans forced to work in a Turkish sweatshop.

Here's what else is happening
Catholic Church: The Church in Illinois withheld the names of at least 500 priests accused of sexual abuse of minors, the state's attorney general said. And Pope Francis accepted the resignation of a Los Angeles bishop after an investigation into an accusation of misconduct with a minor.
Italy budget: The country reached a deal with the E.U. after months of defiance, agreeing to drastically reduce its debt to avoid financial penalties.
The city of Katowice, in the heart of southwestern Poland's coal-mining region, hosted United Nations talks on weaning the world off fossil fuels. The city of Katowice, in the heart of southwestern Poland's coal-mining region, hosted United Nations talks on weaning the world off fossil fuels.

Diplomatic crisis: China detained a third Canadian, escalating tensions with the U.S. over the arrest of a top Chinese technology executive.
"I can English understand": Switzerland's new economics minister is facing widespread criticism of his language skills.
"Stupid woman": Did Britain's Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, call Prime Minister Theresa May names in the House of Commons? Amateur lip readers are poring over a video clip, and lawmakers are demanding an apology.
Russian whistle-blower: Alexander Perepilichny, who died jogging near his home in a London suburb six years ago, probably died of natural causes, a British coroner ruled.
Christmas surprise: A man in Wales opened his front door and found 14 years' worth of presents for his young daughter, given by his recently deceased neighbor.
The things they carried: A photographer documented the journey of migrants who crossed the Evros River between Turkey and Greece. He discovered that many of them perish, dying in limbo, and are never identified.
Genoa bridge: The Italian city will get a new bridge by Renzo Piano, its most famous architect, to replace a viaduct that collapsed last summer.
Petty crime: Last week, our reporter asked London residents to share their experiences with minor crimes. The Twitter post caught fire; here are some of the responses.
No parking: Oslo, Norway, is eliminating 700 street parking spots in its city center by the end of the year as part of a plan to make the area more pedestrian-friendly.
If Brexit were a restaurant: It might look like Bluebird London, which serves English food and Long Island burrata in Manhattan, our restaurant critic writes.
Secret Prague: A new wave of off-the-radar art spaces are opening in former factories, military barracks and other historic structures in the Czech capital.

Back Story
Clare Macdonald, a reader from Keene, N.H., asked us when the first electric lights were used on a Christmas tree.
It was in 1882, just three years after Thomas Edison filed a patent for his light bulb. The tree became a fixture in the experiment-filled home of an executive at his company.
The tree in Rockefeller Center sparkled after its 7,500 bulbs were lit for the first time in 1949. The tree in Rockefeller Center sparkled after its 7,500 bulbs were lit for the first time in 1949.
Tom Fitzsimmons/Associated Press
Eighty walnut-size red, white and blue bulbs covered the tree, which sat on a revolving box. A newspaper article described it: "As the tree turned, the colors alternated, all the lamps going out and being relit at every revolution. The result was a continuous twinkling of dancing colors, red, white, blue, white, red, blue, all evening."
President Grover Cleveland popularized electric Christmas lights in the 1890s by installing them on the White House tree.
But it was not until (relatively) inexpensive strings of Christmas lights began to be sold a few years later that the tradition really caught on.
