The fleeting systems lapse like foam,'" he mumbled what was evidently a quotation. "That's it—foam, and fleeting. All man's toil upon the planet was just so much foam. He domesticated the serviceable animals, destroyed the hostile ones, and cleared the land of its wild vegetation. And then he passed, and the flood of primordial life rolled back again, sweeping his handiwork away—the weeds and the forest inundated his fields, the beasts of prey swept over his flocks, and now there are wolves on the Cliff House beach." He was appalled by the thought. "Where four million people disported themselves, the wild wolves roam to-day, and the savage progeny of our loins, with prehistoric weapons, defend themselves against the fanged despoilers. Think of it! And all because of the Scarlet Death
'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.
'I don't much care where---' said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
'---so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation.
'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk long enough.'
The Congress was being secretly funded by the CIA
John Dewey, who had headed the Committee for the Defense of Leon Trotsky, represented pragmatic American liberalism. Karl Jaspers, the German existentialist, had been an unrelenting critic of the Third Reich. A Christian, he had once publicly challenged Jean-Paul Sartre to state whether or not he accepted the Ten Commandments. Jacques Maritain, a liberal Catholic humanist, was a French resistance hero. He was also a close friend of Nicolas Nabokov. Isaiah Berlin was approached to join this rosary of philosopher-patrons, but refused on the grounds that such public support for an anti-Communist movement would place his relatives in the East in danger. He did, however, promise to support the Congress in any modest way he could. It was Lawrence de Neufville’s recollection that Berlin did so in the knowledge that the Congress was being secretly funded by the CIA. ‘He knew about our involvement,’ said de Neufville. ‘I don’t know who told him, but I imagine it was one of his friends in Washington.’

Developing Courage and Self-Confidence IS
a. Startwithastrongandpersistentdesire.Enumerate the benefits this effort to train yourself will bring you. Arouse your enthusiasm for it. Think what it can mean to you financially, socially and in terms of increased in- fluence and leadership. Remember that upon the depth of your desire will depend the swiftness of your progress.
b. Prepare. You can't feel confident unless you know what you are going to say.
c. Act confident. "To feel brave," advises Professor William James, "act as if we were brave, use all of our will to that end, and a courage fit will very likely replace the fit of fear." Teddy Roosevelt confessed that he con- quered his fear of grizzly bears, mean horses, and gun- fighters by that method. You can conquer your fear of audiences by taking advantage of this psychological fact.
d. Practice. This is the most important point of all. Fear is the result of a lack of confidence; and a lack of confidence is the result of not knowing what you can do; and that is caused by a lack of expf1rlence. So get a record of successful experience behind you, and your fears will vanish.

It is not sad not to be human
nor is living entirely within the earth
demeaning or empty: it is the nature of the mind
to defend its eminence, as it is the nature of those
who walk on the surface to fear the depths—
one’s position determines one’s feelings.
The range of a data set, shown as R, is the difference between the largest and smallest values and calculated as follows:
R = Largest Value - Smallest Value
The disadvantage of the range is that it depends only on the highest and lowest observations and it tells us nothing about the variability of the observations which fall between the two extremes. If there are some outliers, an observation point that is too far from other observations, then the range will be heavily affected by these extremes values.

"You know, I get it. Being raised as a superstar must be really, really difficult for you. Always a commodity, never a human being, not a single person in your family thinking you're worth a damn off the court—yeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time. I know it's not entirely your fault that you are mentally unbalanced and infected with these delusions of grandeur, and I know you're physically incapable of holding a decent conversation with anyone like every other normal human being can, but I don't think any of us should have to put up with this much of your bullshit. Pity only gets you so many concessions, and you used yours up about six insults ago. So please, please, just shut the fuck up and leave us alone."

The ubiquity of trinities in the ancient world influenced early Christian churches to view God, Jesus and Mary as a divine trinity. But patriarchal elements in the Church prevailed and ousted her, so Mary was replaced by the sexually neutral, or even masculine, Holy Ghost, which nevertheless remained embodied in the dove, for many centuries the sacred totem of Aphrodite and Mari-Ishtar.
At first the Roman Church absolutely forbade worship of Mary. But churchmen discovered that the people refused to be deprived of some form of their Mother Goddess. Mary Daly writes that it was only when “Mary, against the stern decrees of the church, was dug out of the oblivion to which Constantine had consigned her, and became identified with the Great Goddess, was Christianity finally tolerated by the people.” Geoffrey Ashe points out that Catholicism officially insists on placing Christ above Mary, “yet the vitality of Christ’s own church has often seemed to depend on her rather than him.... without her, he would probably have lost his kingdom.”
