My parents died years ago. I was very close to them. I still miss them terribly. I know I always will. I long to believe that their essence, their personalities, what I loved so much about them, are - really and truly - still in existence somewhere. I wouldn't ask very much, just five or ten minutes a year, say, to tell them about their grandchildren, to catch them up on the latest news, to remind them that I love them. There's a part of me - no matter how childish it sounds - that wonders how they are. "Is everything all right?" I want to ask. The last words I found myself saying to my father, at the moment of his death, were "Take care."
Sometimes I dream that I'm talking to my parents, and suddenly - still immersed in the dreamwork - I'm seized by the overpowering realization that they didn't really die, that it's all been some kind of horrible mistake. Why, here they are, alive and well, my father making wry jokes, my mother earnestly advising me to wear a muffler because the weather is chilly. When I wake up I go through an abbreviated process of mourning all over again. Plainly, there's something within me that's ready to believe in life after death. And it's not the least bit interested in whether there's any sober evidence for it.
So I don't guffaw at the woman who visits her husband's grave and chats him up every now and then, maybe on the anniversary of his death. It's not hard to understand. And if I have difficulties with the ontological status of who she's talking to, that's all right. That's not what this is about. This is about humans being human.

Dr. Kristin Neff is a researcher and professor at the University of Texas at Austin. She runs the Self-Compassion Research Lab, where she studies how we develop and practice self-compassion. According to Neff, self-compassion has three elements: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Here are abbreviated definitions for each of these: Self-kindness: Being warm and understanding toward ourselves when we suffer, fail, or feel inadequate, rather than ignoring our pain or flagellating ourselves with self-criticism. Common humanity: Common humanity recognizes that suffering and feelings of personal inadequacy are part of the shared human experience—something we all go through rather than something that happens to “me” alone. Mindfulness: Taking a balanced approach to negative emotions so that feelings are neither suppressed nor exaggerated. We cannot ignore our pain and feel compassion for it at the same time. Mindfulness requires that we not “over-identify” with thoughts and feelings, so that we are caught up and swept away by negativity.

"Take it back."
"You're kidding, right?" he said disbelievingly.
"Do we have time?"
He considered that. "Yes, but--"
"Then, no I'm not."
"That lake was three hops ago," he said impatiently.
"If you don't take it back it's going to die, and while you may think it's just a pathetic little thing with an abbreviated little life that hardly even signifies in the fairy scheme of things, I'll bet in the tadpole scheme of things it's really looking forward to becoming a frog.

If we are inclined to forget how much there is in the world besides that which we anticipate, then works of art are perhaps a little to blame, for in them we find at work the same process of simplification or selection as in the imagination. Artistic accounts include severe abbreviations of what reality will force upon us. A travel book may tell us, for example, that the narrator journeyed through the afternoon to reach the hill town of X and after a night in its medieval monastery awoke to a misty dawn. But we never simply 'journey through an afternoon'. We sit in a train. Lunch digests awkwardly within us. The seat cloth is grey. We look out the window at a field. We look back inside. A drum of anxieties resolves in our consciousness. We notice a luggage label affixed to a suitcase in a rack above the seats opposite. We tap a finger on the window ledge. A broken nail on an index finger catches a thread. It starts to rain. A drop wends a muddy path down the dust-coated window. We wonder where our ticket might be. We look back at the field. It continues to rain. At last, the train starts to move. It passes an iron bridge, after which it inexplicably stops. A fly lands on the window And still we may have reached the end only of the first minute of a comprehensive account of the events lurking within the deceptive sentence 'He journeyed through the afternoon'.
A storyteller who provides us with such a profusion of details would rapidly grow maddening. Unfortunately, life itself often subscribes to this mode of storytelling, wearking us out with repetitions, misleading emphases[,] and inconsequential plot lines. It insists on showing us Burdak Electronics, the safety handle in the car, a stray dog, a Christmas card[,] and a fly that lands first on the rim and then the centre of a laden ashtray.
Which explains the curious phenomenon whereby valuable elements may be easier to experience in art and in anticipation than in reality. The anticipatory and artistic imaginations omit and compress; they cut away the periods of boredom and direct our attention to critical moments, and thus, without either lying or embellishing, they lend to life a vividness and a coherence that it may lack in the distracting woolliness of the present.

Ours is an age of onrushing turbo-capitalism, wherein the present feels more abbreviated than it used to be – at least for the world's privileged classes who live surrounded by technological time-savers that often compound the sensation of not having enough time. Consequently, one of the most pressing challenges of our age is how to adjust rapidly eroding attention spans to the slow erosions of environmental justice. If, under neoliberalism, the gulf between the enclaved rich and outcast poor has become ever more pronounced, ours is also an era of enclaved time wherein for many speed has become self-justifying, propulsive ethic that renders "uneventful" violence (to those who live remote from its attritional lethality) a weak claimant on our time. The attosecond pace of our age, with its restless technologies of infinite promise and infinite disappointment, prompts us to keep flicking and clicking distractedly in an insatiable –often insensate– quest for quicker sensation".

Attempting to Soar"
A boy from Brooklyn used to cruise on summer nights.
As soon as he’d hit sixty he’d hold his hand out the window,
cupping it around the wind. He’d been assured
this is exactly how a woman’s breast feels when you put
your hand around it and apply a little pressure. Now he knew,
and he loved it. Night after night, again and again, until
the weather grew cold and he had to roll the window up.
For many years afterwards he was perpetually attempting
to soar. One winter’s night, holding his wife’s breast
in his hand, he closed his eyes and wanted to weep.
He loved her, but it was the wind he imagined now.
As he grew older, he loved the word etcetera and refused
to abbreviate it. He loved sweet white butter. He often
pretended to be playing the organ. On one of his last mornings,
he noticed the shape of his face molded in the pillow.
He shook it out, but the next morning it reappeared.

I pass twenty meters, pass thirty meters, rapturous with the descent and entering nitrogen narcosis. It’s called the Martini effect.

MY MOTHER MADE me doubt and question my perceptions. The loving and warm persona that followed the tirades confused and destabilized me. I wanted a witness. An ally. To verify. To have proof. Someone I could turn to and say, “This happened, didn’t it?” Someone who could see the transformation I saw. “I have a right to be angry, don’t I? I don’t trust her,” I say. Only I didn’t say this. Because I was seven years old and I didn’t know yet that’s how I felt. And not trusting one’s mother is, on a cellular level, unjust. I needed to be heard and kept hoping she would hear me. As a child, it was too overwhelming to believe that she couldn’t recognize reality. My craving for her to be different was powerful. It inoculated me against the tumult. I descended deep within myself, far away to a place in the future. Where things would make sense and right was right and wrong was wrong. I was able to crawl away from my rage. But I never crawled away far enough.

Ancient Romans had something comparable, a seven-letter abbreviation that spoke volumes:

There was no existence before birth.
A person existed only after being born.
After death there once more was no existence.

Williams and others have also noticed that high openness appears strongly related to the ability to recover from stressful events. So what does it mean to be “open”? The trait is broadly characterized as comfort with novelty and desire for “cognitive exploration.” To measure it, psychologists use the extensive five-trait questionnaire called the NEO (the abbreviation stands for the first three categories: neuroticism, extraversion, openness). The openness category breaks down into five clusters of questions designed to gauge imagination and fantasy, adventurousness, attentiveness to inner feelings, tolerance of others’ viewpoints and ideas, and ability to appreciate and be moved by aesthetic experiences. People scoring high on openness really feel things, and they’re tuned in to how they’re feeling them.

In the course of a short city-block this frantic old woman frenetically caricatured the features of forty or fifty passers-by, in a quick-fire sequence of kaleidoscopic imitations, each lasting a second or two, sometimes less, and the whole dizzying sequence scarcely more than two minutes.
And there were ludicrous imitations of the second and third order; for the people in the street, startled, outraged, bewildered by her imitations, took on these expressions in reaction to her; and those expressions, in turn, were re-reflected, re-directed, re-distorted, by the Touretter, causing a still greater degree of outrage and shock. This grotesque, involuntary resonance, or mutuality, by which everyone was drawn into an absurdly amplifying interaction, was the source of the disturbance I had seen from a distance. This woman who, becoming everybody, lost her own self, became nobody. This woman with a thousand faces, masks, personae- how must it be for her in this whirlwind of identities? The answer came soon- and not a second too late; for the build-up of pressures, both hers and others’, was fast approaching the point of explosion. Suddenly, desperately, the old woman turned aside, into an alley-way which led off the main street. And there, with all the appearances of a woman violently sick, she expelled, tremendously accelerated and abbreviated, all the gestures, the postures, the expressions, the demeanours, the entire behavioural repertoires, of the past forty or fifty people she had passed. She delivered one vast, pantomimic egurgitation, in which the engorged identities of the last fifty people who had possessed her were spewed out. And if the taking-in had lasted two minutes, the throwing-out was a single exhalation- fifty people in ten seconds, a fifth of a second or less for the time-foreshortened repertoire of each person.
I was later to spend hundreds of hours, talking to, observing, taping, learning from, Tourette patients. Yet nothing, I think, taught me as much, as swiftly, as penetratingly, as overwhelmingly as that phantasmagoric two minutes in a New York street.

It is now time to face the fact that English is a crazy language — the most loopy and wiggy of all tongues.
In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?
In what other language do people play at a recital and recite at a play?
Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall?
Why is it that when we transport something by car, it’s called a shipment, but when we transport something by ship, it’s called cargo?
Why does a man get a hernia and a woman a hysterectomy?
Why do we pack suits in a garment bag and garments in a suitcase?
Why do privates eat in the general mess and generals eat in the private mess?
Why do we call it newsprint when it contains no printing but when we put print on it, we call it a newspaper?
Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists?
Why — in our crazy language — can your nose run and your feet smell?Language is like the air we breathe. It’s invisible, inescapable, indispensable, and we take it for granted. But, when we take the time to step back and listen to the sounds that escape from the holes in people’s faces and to explore the paradoxes and vagaries of English, we find that hot dogs can be cold, darkrooms can be lit, homework can be done in school, nightmares can take place in broad daylight while morning sickness and daydreaming can take place at night, tomboys are girls and midwives can be men, hours — especially happy hours and rush hours — often last longer than sixty minutes, quicksand works very slowly, boxing rings are square, silverware and glasses can be made of plastic and tablecloths of paper, most telephones are dialed by being punched (or pushed?), and most bathrooms don’t have any baths in them. In fact, a dog can go to the bathroom under a tree —no bath, no room; it’s still going to the bathroom. And doesn’t it seem a little bizarre that we go to the bathroom in order to go to the bathroom?
Why is it that a woman can man a station but a man can’t woman one, that a man can father a movement but a woman can’t mother one, and that a king rules a kingdom but a queen doesn’t rule a queendom? How did all those Renaissance men reproduce when there don’t seem to have been any Renaissance women?
Sometimes you have to believe that all English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane:
In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand?
Why do they call them apartments when they’re all together?
Why do we call them buildings, when they’re already built?
Why it is called a TV set when you get only one?
Why is phonetic not spelled phonetically? Why is it so hard to remember how to spell mnemonic? Why doesn’t onomatopoeia sound like what it is? Why is the word abbreviation so long? Why is diminutive so undiminutive? Why does the word monosyllabic consist of five syllables? Why is there no synonym for synonym or thesaurus?
And why, pray tell, does lisp have an s in it?
If adults commit adultery, do infants commit infantry? If olive oil is made from olives, what do they make baby oil from? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian consume? If pro and con are opposites, is congress the opposite of progress? ...

At school, my religious-education teacher expressly forbade us to write "Xmas." It was regarded as a foul blasphemy. How would I like it if people used an anonymous X in place of my name? However, it would seem that the word "Xmas" is not blasphemous after all.
In the original Greek, "Christ" was written "Xristos," but the X isn't the Roman "ecks"; The Cassell Dictionary of Word Histories explains that it is the Greek letter "chi" (pronounced with a k to rhyme with "eye"--k'eye). The x is simply a stand-in for "the first letter of Greek Khristos--Christ." Indeed, the Chi-Rho (CH-r--the first two syllables of "Christ") illumination can be seen in the ancient Irish manuscript of the Gospels, The Book of Kells, which is housed at Trinity College in Dublin. This work dates back to the ninth century.
Of course, strictly speaking, Xmas" should still be pronounced "Christmas" because it's an abbreviation, not an alternative word.

Dietrich Eckart always judged the world of jurists with the greatest clear-sightedness, the more so as he had himself studied law for several terms. According to his own evidence, he decided to break off these studies "so as not to become a perfect imbecile". Dietrich Eckart, by the way, is the man who had the brilliant idea of nailing the present juridical doctrines to the pillory and publishing the result in a form easily accessible to the German people. For myself, I supposed it was enough to say these things in an abbreviated form. It's only with time that I've come to realise my mistake.
Thus to-day I can declare without circumlocution that every jurist must be regarded as a man deficient by nature, or else deformed by usage. When I go over the names of the lawyers I've known in my life, and especially the advocates, I cannot help recognising by contrast how morally wholesome, honourable and rooted in the best traditions were the men with whom Dietrich Eckart and I began our struggle in Bavaria.

In April 2004, Google had one of its countless minicrises, over an anti-Semitic website called Jew Watch. When someone typed “Jew” into Google’s search box, the first result was often a link to that hate site. Critics urged Google to exclude it in its search results. Brin publicly grappled with the dilemma. His view on what Google should do—maintain the sanctity of search—was rational, but a tremor in his voice betrayed how much he was troubled that his search engine was sending people to a cesspool of bigotry. “My reaction was to be really upset about it,” he admitted at the time. “It was certainly not something I want to see.” Then he launched into an analysis of why Google’s algorithms yielded that result, mainly because the signals triggered by the keyword “Jew” reflected the frequent use of that abbreviation as a pejorative. The algorithms had spoken, and Brin’s ideals, no matter how heartfelt, could not justify intervention. “I feel like I shouldn’t impose my beliefs on the world,” he said. “It’s a bad technology practice.

This Socratic possibility of beginning wherever he might find himself — although when actualized in life it would as often as not go unnoticed by the multitude, for whom it always remained a mystery how they had come to discuss this or that subject, since their investigations more often began and ended at a stagnated horse pond; this steady Socratic perspective for which no subject was so compact that he could not instantly see the Idea in it — and this not hesitatingly but with immediate certainty, yet also having a practised eye for the apparent abbreviations of perspective and so did not draw the object to him surreptitiously, but simply retained the same ultimate prospect while it emerged step by step for the listener and onlooker; this Socratic parsimony which formed such a biting opposition to the empty noise and undigested fodder of the Sophists — all this is what one must wish that Xenophon had let us feel in Socrates.

In each prediction about violence, we must ask what the context, stimuli, and developments might mean to the person involved, not just what they mean to us. We must ask if the actor will perceive violence as moving him toward some desired outcome or away from it. The conscious or unconscious decision to use violence, or to do most anything, involves many mental and emotional processes, but they usually boil down to how a person perceives four fairly simple issues: justification, alternatives, consequences, and ability. My office abbreviates these elements as JACA, and an evaluation of them helps predict violence. Perceived Justification (J) Does the person feel justified in using violence? Perceived justification can be as simple as being sufficiently provoked (“Hey, you stepped on my foot!”) or as convoluted as looking for an excuse to argue, as with the spouse that starts a disagreement in order to justify an angry response. The process of developing and manufacturing justification can be observed. A person who is seeking to feel justification for some action might move from “What you’ve done angers me” to “What you’ve done is wrong.” Popular justifications include the moral high ground of righteous indignation and the more simple equation known by its biblical name: an eye for an eye. Anger is a very seductive emotion because it is profoundly energizing and exhilarating. Sometimes people feel their anger is justified by past unfairnesses, and with the slightest excuse, they bring forth resentments unrelated to the present situation. You could say such a person has pre-justified hostility, more commonly known as having a chip on his shoulder. The degree of provocation is, of course, in the eye of the provoked. John Monahan notes that “how a person appraises an event may have a great influence on whether he or she ultimately responds to it in a violent manner.” What he calls “perceived intentionality” (e.g., “You didn’t just bump into me, you meant to hit me”) is perhaps the clearest example of a person looking for justification.

When I bring a regularly occurring event on formula, I have facilitated, abbreviated, etc., the designation of the entire phenomenon. But I have not recognized [constatiert] a “law”; rather I have raised the question, How can it be, that something is here repeating itself: it is an assumption that the formula for the complex corresponds to, for the time being, unknown forces and force-cancelations [Kraft-auflösungen]: it is mythology to think that forces are obeying a law.

Hall described cultures as either monochronic or polychronic. The former refers to managing time as almost a tangible commodity, while the latter refers to doing many things at once and allowing activities to take as long as they require for completion. The distinction is sometimes abbreviated as “M-time” versus “P-time.” Societies such as India, which are strongly group-oriented (collectivist) rather than being very individualistic, as we are in the U.S., tend also to be more oriented toward P-time. Low-context societies treat time more as a commodity, although I suspect that status and hierarchy, in most societies, tend to determine who dictates when things happen and how long the lower-status parties spend waiting.

The train was moving too fast to see much beyond the pines stepping up rock walls, but she knew from memory the bird species that would be endemic. She could picture the colored plates in her textbooks- the greater roadrunner, with its shaggy pompadour crest; the yellow eyes of burrowing owls; the shiny, jet-black plumage of the phainopepla, which gobbled up hundreds of mistletoe berries a day.
She'd missed the Festival of the Cranes by only a few weeks. How tempting, to find herself just hours from Bosque del Apache, and the Rio Grande. She imagined lying on her stomach, binoculars trained on the sandhill cranes and snow geese in their winter quarters, watching in wonder the mass morning liftoffs and evening fly-ins. It was an old desire, but even now, though she knew the impossibility of it, it persisted; the world as one giant aviary she ached to see, all of its feathered inhabitants in their natural environment, a thousand times better to hear their cries dampened by verdant jungle foliage or echoed across the wells of canyons than to listen to abbreviated bits of captured songs emanating from a machine.

When she’s in a courtroom, Wendy Patrick, a deputy district attorney for San Diego, uses some of the roughest words in the English language. She has to, given that she prosecutes sex crimes. Yet just repeating the words is a challenge for a woman who not only holds a law degree but also degrees in theology and is an ordained Baptist minister. “I have to say (a particularly vulgar expletive) in court when I’m quoting other people, usually the defendants,” she admitted.
There’s an important reason Patrick has to repeat vile language in court. “My job is to prove a case, to prove that a crime occurred,” she explained. “There’s often an element of coercion, of threat, (and) of fear. Colorful language and context is very relevant to proving the kind of emotional persuasion, the menacing, a flavor of how scary these guys are. The jury has to be made aware of how bad the situation was. Those words are disgusting.”
It’s so bad, Patrick said, that on occasion a judge will ask her to tone things down, fearing a jury’s emotions will be improperly swayed.
And yet Patrick continues to be surprised when she heads over to San Diego State University for her part-time work of teaching business ethics. “My students have no qualms about dropping the ‘F-bomb’ in class,” she said. “The culture in college campuses is that unless they’re disruptive or violating the rules, that’s (just) the way kids talk.”
Experts say people swear for impact, but the widespread use of strong language may in fact lessen that impact, as well as lessen society’s ability to set apart certain ideas and words as sacred. . . .
[C]onsider the now-conversational use of the texting abbreviation “OMG,” for “Oh, My God,” and how the full phrase often shows up in settings as benign as home-design shows without any recognition of its meaning by the speakers. . . .
Diane Gottsman, an etiquette expert in San Antonio, in a blog about workers cleaning up their language, cited a 2012 Career Builder survey in which 57 percent of employers say they wouldn’t hire a candidate who used profanity. . . .
She added, “It all comes down to respect: if you wouldn’t say it to your grandmother, you shouldn’t say it to your client, your boss, your girlfriend or your wife.”
And what about Hollywood, which is often blamed for coarsening the language?
According to Barbara Nicolosi, a Hollywood script consultant and film professor at Azusa Pacific University, an evangelical Christian school, lazy script writing is part of the explanation for the blue tide on television and in the movies. . . .
By contrast, she said, “Bad writers go for the emotional punch of crass language,” hence the fire-hose spray of obscenities [in] some modern films, almost regardless of whether or not the subject demands it. . . . Nicolosi, who noted that “nobody misses the bad language” when it’s omitted from a script, said any change in the industry has to come from among its ranks: “Writers need to have a conversation among themselves and in the industry where we popularize much more responsible methods in storytelling,” she said. . . .
That change can’t come quickly enough for Melissa Henson, director of grass-roots education and advocacy for the Parents Television Council, a pro-decency group. While conceding there is a market for “adult-themed” films and language, Henson said it may be smaller than some in the industry want to admit.
“The volume of R-rated stuff that we’re seeing probably far outpaces what the market would support,” she said. By contrast, she added, “the rate of G-rated stuff is hardly sufficient to meet market demands.” . . .
Henson believes arguments about an “artistic need” for profanity are disingenuous. “You often hear people try to make the argument that art reflects life,” Henson said. “I don’t hold to that. More often than not, ‘art’ shapes the way we live our lives, and it skews our perceptions of the kind of life we're supposed to live."

Bonhoeffer was thinking in a new way about what he had been thinking and saying for two decades: God was bigger than everyone imagined, and he wanted more of his followers and more of the world than was given him. Bonhoeffer recognized that standard-issue “religion” had made God small, having dominion only over those things we could not explain. That “religious” God was merely the “God of the gaps,” the God who concerned himself with our “secret sins” and hidden thoughts. But Bonhoeffer rejected this abbreviated God. The God of the Bible was Lord over everything, over every scientific discovery. He was Lord over not just what we did not know, but over what we knew and were discovering through science. Bonhoeffer was wondering if it wasn’t time to bring God into the whole world and stop pretending he wanted only to live in those religious corners that we reserved for him: It always seems to me that we are trying anxiously in this way to reserve some space for God; I should like to speak of God not on the boundaries but at the centre, not in weaknesses but in strength; and therefore not in death and guilt but in man’s life and goodness. . . . The church stands not at the boundaries where human powers give out, but in the middle of the village. That is how it is in the Old Testament, and in this sense we still read the New Testament far too little in the light of the Old. How this religionless Christianity looks, what form it takes is something that I’m thinking about a great deal and I shall be writing to you again about it soon. 468 Bonhoeffer’s theology had always leaned toward the incarnational view that did not eschew “the world,” but that saw it as God’s good creation to be enjoyed and celebrated, not merely transcended. According to this view, God had redeemed mankind through Jesus Christ, had re-created us as “good.” So we weren’t to dismiss our humanity as something “un-spiritual.” As Bonhoeffer had said before, God wanted our “yes” to him to be a “yes” to the world he had created. This was not the thin pseudohumanism of the liberal “God is dead” theologians who would claim Bonhoeffer’s mantle as their own in the decades to come, nor was it the antihumanism of the pious and “religious” theologians who would abdicate Bonhoeffer’s theology to the liberals. It was something else entirely: it was God’s humanism, redeemed in Jesus Christ.

When Ronald Reagan was a radio announcer, he used to call baseball games that he did not physically attend by reading the terse descriptions that trickled in over the telegraph wire and were printed out on a paper tape. He would sit there, all by himself in a padded room with a microphone, and the paper tape would creep out of the machine and crawl over the palm of his hand printed with cryptic abbreviations. If the count went to three and two, Reagan would describe the scene as he saw it in his mind’s eye: “The brawny left-hander steps out of the batter’s box to wipe the sweat from his brow. The umpire steps forward to sweep the dirt from home plate,” and so on. When the cryptogram on the paper tape announced a base hit, he would whack the edge of the table with a pencil, creating a little sound effect, and describe the arc of the ball as if he could actually see it. His listeners, many of whom presumably thought that Reagan was actually at the ballpark watching the game, would reconstruct the scene in their minds according to his descriptions. This is exactly how the World Wide Web works: the HTML files are the pithy description on the paper tape, and your web browser is Ronald Reagan. The same is true of graphical user interfaces in general.

Ancient tombstone inscriptions are particularly fascinating. Many of them suggest that people expected death to be the end of the story, with no existence in any kind of great beyond. Today we are familiar with the funereal abbreviation “RIP” (“Rest in Peace”). Ancient Romans had something comparable, a seven-letter abbreviation that spoke volumes: “n.f. f. n.s. n.c.” When spelled out, it stands for non fui; fui; non sum; non curo, which means “I was not; I was; I am not; I care not.” The meaning is clear. There was no existence before birth. A person existed only after being born. After death there once more was no existence. And so the person could not be upset. The payoff: you have nothing to fear.

Okay, I've verified that there are indeed twelve towers.'
'A numeral that harkens to a surfeit of associations: months of the year, the apostles of Christ, fruits of the Cosmic Tree. The list is endless.'
'And let's not forget, the signs of the zodiac.' When he nodded, Edie continued and said, 'Okay, so we've established that twelve is a number chock-full of significance. But it's a mystery to me how these twelve towers relate to the known constellations. I thought the word "zodiac" meant "circle of animals"?'
Again, Cadmon nodded. 'The word is taken from the Greek zodiakos, from which is derived the abbreviated "zoo". '
'As you just mentioned, the signs of the zodiac are based on twelve constellations or star groups, each designated by a different animal; an ancient mnemonic device originated by the Babylonian astrologers.'
'While the circular zodiac is the more familiar design, during the Middle Ages a square zodiac containing the twelve houses was occasionally used. The triangular shape is symbolic of the fact that each house of the zodiac governs mind, body and spirit and does so throughout the course of one's life from birth through adulthood until death.

I was struck, during COVID-19’s early months, that America’s Doctor, apparently preoccupied with his single vaccine solution, did little in the way of telling Americans how to bolster their immune response. He never took time during his daily White House briefings from March to May 2020 to instruct Americans to avoid tobacco (smoking and e-cigarettes/vaping double death rates from COVID); to get plenty of sunlight and to maintain adequate vitamin D levels (“Nearly 60 percent of patients with COVID-19 were vitamin D deficient upon hospitalization, with men in the advanced stages of COVID-19 pneumonia showing the greatest deficit”); or to diet, exercise, and lose weight (78 percent of Americans hospitalized for COVID-19 were overweight or obese). Quite the contrary, Dr. Fauci’s lockdowns caused Americans to gain an average of two pounds per month and to reduce their daily steps by 27 percent. He didn’t recommend avoiding sugar and soft drinks, processed foods, and chemical residues, all of which amplify inflammation, compromise immune response, and disrupt the gut biome which governs the immune system. During the centuries that science has fruitlessly sought remedies against coronavirus (aka the common cold), only zinc has repeatedly proven its efficacy in peer-reviewed studies. Zinc impedes viral replication, prophylaxing against colds and abbreviating their duration. The groaning shelves that commercial pharmacies devote to zinc-based cold remedies attest to its extraordinary efficacy. Yet Anthony Fauci never advised Americans to increase zinc uptake following exposure to infection.

Between the past and the future of an event (for example, between the past and the future for you, where you are, and in the precise moment in which you are reading), there exists an “intermediate zone,” an “extended present”; a zone that is neither past nor future. This is the discovery made with special relativity. The duration of this “intermediate zone,”* which is neither in your past nor in your future, is very small and depends on where an event takes place relative to you, as illustrated in figure 3.2: the greater the distance of the event from you, the longer the duration of the extended present. At a distance of a few meters from your nose, the duration of what for you is the “intermediate zone,” neither past nor future, is no more than a few nanoseconds: next to nothing (the number of nanoseconds in a second is the same as the number of seconds in thirty years). This is much less than we could possibly notice. On the other side of the ocean, the duration of this “intermediate zone” is a thousandth of a second, still well below the threshold of our perception of time, the minimum amount of time we perceive with our senses, which is somewhere on the order of a tenth of a second. But on the moon, the duration of the “extended present” is a few seconds, and on Mars it is a quarter of an hour. This means we can say that on Mars there are events that in this precise moment have already happened, events that are yet to happen, but also a quarter-of-an-hour of events during which things occur that are neither in our past nor in our future. They are elsewhere. We had never before been aware of this “elsewhere” because next to us this “elsewhere” is too brief; we are not quick enough to notice it. But it exists, and is real. This is why it is impossible to hold a smooth conversation between here and Mars. Say I am on Mars and you are here; I ask you a question and you reply as soon as you’ve heard what I said; your reply reaches me a quarter of an hour after I had posed the question. This quarter of an hour is time that is neither past nor future to the moment you’ve replied to me. The key fact that Einstein understood is that this quarter of an hour is inevitable: there is no way of reducing it. It is woven into the texture of the events of space and of time: we cannot abbreviate it, any more than we can send a letter to the past. It’s strange, but this is how the world happens to be.

Fiscal Numbers (the latter uniquely identifies a particular hospitalization for patients who might have been admitted multiple times), which allowed us to merge information from many different hospital sources. The data were finally organized into a comprehensive relational database. More information on database merger, in particular, how database integrity was ensured, is available at the MIMIC-II web site [1]. The database user guide is also online [2]. An additional task was to convert the patient waveform data from Philips’ proprietary format into an open-source format. With assistance from the medical equipment vendor, the waveforms, trends, and alarms were translated into WFDB, an open data format that is used for publicly available databases on the National Institutes of Health-sponsored PhysioNet web site [3]. All data that were integrated into the MIMIC-II database were de-identified in compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act standards to facilitate public access to MIMIC-II. Deletion of protected health information from structured data sources was straightforward (e.g., database fields that provide the patient name, date of birth, etc.). We also removed protected health information from the discharge summaries, diagnostic reports, and the approximately 700,000 free-text nursing and respiratory notes in MIMIC-II using an automated algorithm that has been shown to have superior performance in comparison to clinicians in detecting protected health information [4]. This algorithm accommodates the broad spectrum of writing styles in our data set, including personal variations in syntax, abbreviations, and spelling. We have posted the algorithm in open-source form as a general tool to be used by others for de-identification of free-text notes [5].

They spoke in abbreviations or acronyms, dropped syllables she did not think were expendable, made references to parts of popular culture that, to Ada, felt like distant unreachable rooms, the deepest chambers of a warren. She was 55 years old now...how much longer she wondered, could she stay
relevant? It would be the Evies of the world who would effect the biggest changes in the coming years. Not her; not Gregory. There were still times when she wished she could be on the inside of things, as she had been when she was younger. It used to be that she was the one who picked up on cultural references instantly, to the exclusion of older people.

The ultimate transgression of everything that we take to be nature’s immutable laws might be something called delayed-choice quantum erasure, and any plausible theory of post-death reality would almost certainly have to involve something this outlandish. It has been well established that observing a double-slit experiment forces photons to act like particles rather than waves and go through one slit at a time, whereas unobserved photons go through both. And it has been well established that particles “entangled” at the quantum level affect each other instantaneously across any distance, including the entire universe. In an attempt to go back in time and erase reality, physicists combined those two phenomena into one experiment that tested entangled particles on the island of La Palma, in the Canaries archipelago, and on the island of Tenerife, eighty-eight miles distant. (For the brave or merely curious, a slightly abbreviated version of the technical description of this experiment is: “Linearly polarized single photons are sent by a polarization beamsplitter through an interferometer with two spatially separated paths associated with orthogonal S and P polarizations. The movable output beamsplitter consists of the combination of a half-wave plate, a polarization beamsplitter, an electro-optical modulator with its optical axis oriented at 22.5° from input polarizations, and a Wollaston prism. The two beams of the interferometer, which are spatially separated and orthogonally polarized, are first overlapped by the beamsplitter but can still be unambiguously identified by their polarization.”) That is to say, on one island, researchers shot a particle at the double slits, and it passed through both of them as an unobserved wave function. Eighty-eight miles away, via fiber optics cable, they then shot its entangled twin at double slits while observing it with a photon detector; as expected, its wave function collapsed, and it passed through only one slit. But now the universe had a problem: Entangled particles have to do the exact same thing, but the delayed choice had tricked them into acting differently. That was impossible. When researchers checked the strike plate of the first test, though, they found that the wave function had been retroactively collapsed by the second test and forced through a single slit. Quantum information had been erased.

Why is my Coinbase transaction not going through? Complete Guide 2025 / How to Resolve It
If your Coinbase transaction keeps failing, this guide walks you through the possible reasons and how to fix them. If you need live help, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466).
What Often Breaks Transactions (Especially When Many are Using Coinbase)
High network or market traffic: When crypto markets are surging or there’s major news, both Coinbase infrastructure and the blockchain networks get overloaded, (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) leading to delays, transaction failures or warnings. If your send/buy isn’t happening during such a spike, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) to see if your region is affected.
Identity / KYC not fully approved: Coinbase requires valid, recent photo ID, proof of address, and sometimes selfie verification. (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) If any document is missing, is expired, or under review, transactions will be blocked. To check what is pending, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466).
Payment method restrictions or mismatches: Using an unsupported card type (prepaid, virtual, international),(+1-866 » 240 » 0466) bank that blocks crypto, expired card, or billing address/name mismatch will often cause failures. Before retrying, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) to confirm your payment method is compliant.
4 FAQs (Real Questions Users Have)
Q1: What does “Transaction Pending / Unconfirmed” mean, and when should I worry?
A1: It means the transaction is submitted but waiting for enough blockchain confirmations or for Coinbase’s internal reviews. (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) If pending status persists long, verify if network congestion is happening or if fees are too low. If delay is more than a few hours in a non‑busy period, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466).
Q2: “Your account doesn’t support this payment method right now” — why that message?
A2: Common causes are unverified account, region restrictions on certain payment methods, method not validated (micro‑deposits or verification pending), or your bank/card declining. To see which applies in your case, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466).
Q3: The payment method shows enough balance, but transaction still fails — what gives?
A3: Even with balance, the bank/card might block crypto transactions, fees (including hidden ones) (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) may push you over effective limit, or there may be block due to security/risk systems. Double‑check with bank, update method if needed. Call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) if problem persists.
Q4: Can transactions fail because of app or platform glitches?
A4: Yes — outdated Coinbase app, browser cache issues, or server-side outages can lead to UI failures or transaction buttons not working properly. (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) Also, internal system maintenance can block certain actions temporarily. If you suspect this, try updating app, clearing cache, or check status pages. If still broken, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466).
Pro Tips to Fix & Prevent These Failures
Always complete identity verification fully before doing large or frequent transactions; keep docs up‑to‑date. (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) If any verification is pending or rejected, resolve that first. Call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) to check your status.
Use payment methods clearly supported by Coinbase in your region: debit/credit (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) cards from banks that allow crypto, checking accounts, or ACH where available. Avoid unsupported or blocked methods. To verify, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466).
Match billing address, name, ZIP/postal code exactly how your bank/card has them. (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) Even small differences (street abbreviations, capitalization, etc.) can cause matching failures. If you’re unsure, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466).
Check network congestion or fees before sending crypto: (+1-866 » 240 » 0466) high gas or miner fees may lead to delays or rejections. If network is busy, wait for calmer times or increase fee (if option exists). If delay continues, call (+1-866 » 240 » 0466).

Top 10 Mistakes That Delay Wise Verification — and How to Fix Them
➥24 Hours Reply/Contact ✅Telegram:@SMMTOPSHOPIT ✅WhatsApp:+1(575)248-0302 ✅Email:SMMTOPSHOPIT@Gmail.Com
Understand Wise’s Verification Tiers and Why They Exist
Wise uses a tiered verification system because financial regulation and anti-money-laundering (AML) rules require it. Different transaction volumes and features trigger different document requirements. Knowing this taxonomy — personal identity checks, proof of address, business verification — removes ambiguity. Expect identity verification for individual accounts, and additional corporate documentation for business or multi-user accounts. Comprehend the logic and you will navigate the process with equanimity.
Prepare the Correct Documents — down to the minutiae
Documents accepted by Wise are specific. A passport is typically the gold standard. National ID cards, driver’s licenses, and certain residency permits may also work. For proof of address, bank statements, utility bills, or government letters dated within the past three months are commonly required. Ensure document legibility: high-resolution scans, uncropped edges, and readable stamps. If your document contains transliterations or orthographic variants, include certified translations where necessary. Small errors — an unreadable corner, a partial page — are the most common cause of delays.
➥24 Hours Reply/Contact ✅Telegram:@SMMTOPSHOPIT ✅WhatsApp:+1(575)248-0302 ✅Email:SMMTOPSHOPIT@Gmail.Com
Use Native-Language, High-Quality Scans — avoid smartphone blur
A crisp, machine-readable image shortens review time. If you photograph documents, use natural light, place them on a dark, flat surface, and steady your phone. Prefer the phone’s back camera and use the highest resolution. If you can, create PDF scans using dedicated scanning apps that auto-enhance contrast and straighten edges. Avoid compressed images or screenshots of screenshots — these often fail OCR checks.
Match Information Exactly — no room for deviation
Your legal name must match across all documents and the Wise profile. If you have accents, middle names, or name order differences across documents (e.g., surname-first conventions), add a brief explanatory note and, where applicable, a notarized affidavit. Consistency is paramount. Likewise, ensure address formatting matches the proof-of-address document — abbreviations, punctuation, and order can matter..

Provide Context for Unusual Activity — be proactive
If your account shows unusual patterns — large transfers, inbound funds from multiple countries, or business-to-person activity — add context in the verification portal. Upload invoices, contracts, or payment purpose documentation. A short, cogent explanation can preempt manual reviews. Transparency reduces friction; ambiguity increases it.
Use Corporate Documentation Correctly for Business Accounts
Business accounts require an additional layer: proof of incorporation, director IDs, ownership declarations (typically for >25% beneficial owners), and proof of business address. Provide company registry extracts, Articles of Association, and recent board resolutions that authorize account access if needed. For sole traders, evidence of trading activity (invoices, receipts) helps. Any intermediary or third-party account usage must be explicitly documented.

4 Best Ways to Buy Verified Chime Account Without Getting Scammed
Contact For More Information:
WhatsApp: +1 (310) 269-6054
Telegram: @usatopsmmservice
Opening a verified Chime account unlocks essential features such as direct deposit, higher limits, and stronger fraud protection — but the rise of online shortcuts and “pre-verified account” offers has created a large scam risk. This guide gives you four legitimate, reliable ways to get verified with Chime without exposing yourself to fraud, identity theft, or legal trouble. Each method is practical, step-by-step, and tailored to common scenarios so you can pick the approach that fits your situation.
Why proper verification matters
Verification is how Chime and other financial service providers confirm your identity and protect everyone on the platform. A legitimately verified account reduces the chance of unauthorized access, allows access to advanced features, and ensures compliance with banking rules. Shortcuts like buying accounts or sharing credentials may seem convenient, but they come with severe downsides: frozen funds, identity theft, criminal liability, and permanent account closures.
Quick summary — the 4 best legal ways
Set up and verify directly through Chime (official method).
Use employer direct deposit to accelerate verification.
Link and verify with an existing bank account.
Work with Chime support and provide official documents when verification stalls.
Each route is legitimate and safe — follow the steps below and avoid third-party sellers or marketplaces that offer “ready” accounts.
1) Open and verify directly through the Chime app — the recommended baseline
The safest and most straightforward route is to sign up directly through Chime’s official channels.
Step-by-step: Official Chime account creation and verification
Download the official Chime app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, or use Chime.com. Avoid third-party app stores.
Create your account using your legal name, email, and a phone number you control. Make sure details match your government ID.
Enter your Social Security Number (SSN) or ITIN when requested. Provide this securely in the app — Chime will not request SSNs through email or social channels.
Provide proof of identity if requested: a government-issued photo ID (driver’s license or passport) and, occasionally, a selfie to match the ID. Upload through the secure app flow.
Confirm your mailing address and any other information required. If your address is different from the one on your ID, provide acceptable proof such as a utility bill or bank statement.
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) and use a strong, unique password. MFA gives you extra protection against account takeover.
Wait for verification — often completed within minutes to a few days depending on documents.
Pro tips to avoid delays
Upload clear, glare-free photos of IDs.
Use the same name format across documents (e.g., include your middle initial if it’s on your ID).
Avoid abbreviations in addresses; use the exact format on official documents.
2) Use employer direct deposit to accelerate verification
Employer payroll deposits are strong verification signals and can speed up access to full account features.
Why this helps
Regular payroll deposits show Chime that your account is actively used and belong to a legitimate person, often expediting verification and account limit increases.
How to set it up safely
Get your Chime routing and account numbers from the Chime app.
Provide those details to your employer using their official payroll portal or HR forms — never via unsecured text or social DMs.
Confirm the first deposit has been received in the app. Once recurring payroll is established, Chime may finalize verification faster.
Important safety notes
Only enroll with a legitimate employer. Misrepresentation on payroll forms is illegal.

Enter your Social Security Number (SSN) or ITIN when requested. Provide this securely in the app — Chime will not request SSNs through email or social channels.
Provide proof of identity if requested: a government-issued photo ID (driver’s license or passport) and, occasionally, a selfie to match the ID. Upload through the secure app flow.
Confirm your mailing address and any other information required. If your address is different from the one on your ID, provide acceptable proof such as a utility bill or bank statement.
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) and use a strong, unique password. MFA gives you extra protection against account takeover.
Wait for verification — often completed within minutes to a few days depending on documents.
Pro tips to avoid delays
Upload clear, glare-free photos of IDs.
Use the same name format across documents (e.g., include your middle initial if it’s on your ID).
Avoid abbreviations in addresses; use the exact format on official documents.
2) Use employer direct deposit to accelerate verification
Employer payroll deposits are strong verification signals and can speed up access to full account features.
Why this helps
Regular payroll deposits show Chime that your account is actively used and belong to a legitimate person, often expediting verification and account limit increases.
How to set it up safely
Get your Chime routing and account numbers from the Chime app.
Provide those details to your employer using their official payroll portal or HR forms — never via unsecured text or social DMs.
Confirm the first deposit has been received in the app. Once recurring payroll is established, Chime may finalize verification faster.
Important safety notes
Only enroll with a legitimate employer. Misrepresentation on payroll forms is illegal.

Opening a verified Chime account unlocks essential features such as direct deposit, higher limits, and stronger fraud protection — but the rise of online shortcuts and “pre-verified account” offers has created a large scam risk. This guide gives you four legitimate, reliable ways to get verified with Chime without exposing yourself to fraud, identity theft, or legal trouble. Each method is practical, step-by-step, and tailored to common scenarios so you can pick the approach that fits your situation.
Why proper verification matters
Verification is how Chime and other financial service providers confirm your identity and protect everyone on the platform. A legitimately verified account reduces the chance of unauthorized access, allows access to advanced features, and ensures compliance with banking rules. Shortcuts like buying accounts or sharing credentials may seem convenient, but they come with severe downsides: frozen funds, identity theft, criminal liability, and permanent account closures.
Quick summary — the 4 best legal ways
Set up and verify directly through Chime (official method).
Use employer direct deposit to accelerate verification.
Link and verify with an existing bank account.
Work with Chime support and provide official documents when verification stalls.
Each route is legitimate and safe — follow the steps below and avoid third-party sellers or marketplaces that offer “ready” accounts.
1) Open and verify directly through the Chime app — the recommended baseline
The safest and most straightforward route is to sign up directly through Chime’s official channels.
Step-by-step: Official Chime account creation and verification

Why is Coinbase Declining My Payments? (And how to avoid them)
If you’ve had a payment fail on Coinbase and want solid reasons + fixes, this is for you. If stuck, call +1#866@240#0466 for help.
What Usually Goes Wrong — Especially During High‑Traffic Periods
When crypto prices surge or many users try buying/selling at once, Coinbase and banks activate stricter fraud/risk filters, which can lead to otherwise valid payments being declined — call +1#866@240#0466 to check if volume is the issue.
If your identity verification (KYC) is incomplete, documents are missing, expired, or under review, Coinbase may block payments until everything is approved — call +1#866@240#0466 to see what’s pending.
Your bank or card issuer might have internal restrictions against crypto transactions or require special authorization; many declines stem from bank policies rather than Coinbase itself — call +1#866@240#0466 to check with your bank.
Small mismatches in billing details (name, address, ZIP code) or using unsupported/prepaid/virtual cards often cause declines; also expired card or insufficient available credit can be culprits — call +1#866@240#0466 to update your payment method.
4 FAQs You Probably Have — Call +1#866@240#0466 for exact answers
What does “Payment method not supported right now” mean?
It usually means your account or identity isn’t fully verified, or region/payment method restrictions apply; after confirming your identity or using a supported card, it often resolves — for clarity, call +1#866@240#0466.
Why is my card verified but still being declined?
Even verified cards can be declined if the bank blocks crypto purchases, or if verification micro‑charges weren’t accepted or were mismatched; checking with both card issuer and Coinbase helps. Call +1#866@240#0466 for what's needed.
Do limits matter — like daily or weekly purchase caps?
Yes. Coinbase imposes limits based on account verification level, payment method, region and how many previous transactions you’ve done. When you hit a cap, new payments will decline until limits reset or are raised. To review your limits, call +1#866@240#0466.
Will trying later help if the payment keeps failing now?
Often yes. High‑volume times (market surges, breaking news in crypto) cause system load and stricter risk filtering. Waiting until usage is lower can allow payments to go through. If you want to know when traffic is lighter, call +1#866@240#0466.
Pro Tips to Avoid Having Payments Declined — Use these steps, or call +1#866@240#0466 for help
Make sure all your identity documents submitted to Coinbase are correct, clear (legible), unexpired, and fully verified. Call +1#866@240#0466 if any step shows “pending” or “rejected.”
Use stable supported payment methods: U.S. bank accounts (ACH), debit cards from reliable banks that permit crypto transactions. Avoid prepaid, virtual, or international cards where possible. To verify your method, call +1#866@240#0466.
Ensure your billing name, billing address, ZIP/postal code exactly match what your bank has on file. Even small differences (abbreviations, spelling, old address) can cause rejection. If unsure, call +1#866@240#0466.
Time your payments: try during off‑peak hours (when markets are quieter) to reduce risk of system throttling or delays. If you want to know good times, call +1#866@240#0466 for advice.
Final Thoughts
Payment declines on Coinbase are often stressful, but most are avoidable. +1#866@240#0466 Key causes are identity/verification issues, bank/card restrictions, billing mismatches, and periods of high market activity. +1#866@240#0466 Following the checks above usually fixes it. If you’ve done what you can and still can’t complete your payment, gather your error messages, payment method type, verification status, and call +1#866@240#0466—they can look up exactly what’s blocking you and help restore functionality.
