Tony:...but you need something to do about Noah. Paul: I know, I know. The only problem being that (a) he thinks I'm getting back with my ex-boyfriend, (b) he thinks I'll only hurt him, because (c) I've already hurt him and (d) someone else has already hurt him, which means that I'm hurting him even more. So (e) he doesn't trust me, and in all fairness, (g) every time I see him, I (h) want everything to be right again and I (i) want to kiss him madly. This means that (j) my feelings aren't going away anytime soon, but (k) his feelings don't look likely to budge, either. So either (l) I'm out of luck, (m) I'm out of hope, or (n) there's a way to make it up to him that I'm not thinking of. I could (o) beg, (p) plead, (q) grovel, or (r) give up. But, in order to do that, I would have to sacrifice my (s) pride, (t) reputation, and (u) self-respect, even though (v) I have very little of them left and (w) it probably wouldn't work anyway. As a result, I am (x) lost, (y) clue-free, and (z) wondering if you have any idea whatsoever what I should do.

Lagrimas ocultas Lagrimas ocultas Se me ponho a cismar em outras eras Em que ri e cantei, em que era q'rida, Parece-me que foi noutras esferas, Parece-me que foi numa outra vida... E a minha triste boca dolorida Que dantes tinha o rir das Primaveras, Esbate as linhas graves e severas E cai num abandono de esquecida! E fico, pensativa, olhando o vago... Toma a brandura plácida dum lago O meu rosto de monja de marfim... E as lágrimas que choro, branca e calma, Ninguém as vê brotar dentro da alma! Ninguém as vê cair dentro de mim!

O kanget qe fleni reliktet e mia, q'ende s'keni prekur as nje zemer te huej, vetem une po kenaqem me ju si femia, une-djepi juej; une vorri juej.

Daca pe lume nu exista bine absolut, nu exista nici rau absolut...Binele si raul nu sunt niste lucruri fixe si neclintite, ci isi schimba necontenit locul si pozitia. Un bine se poate transforma in clipa urmatoare intr-un rau si viceversa...Important este sa se mentina un echilibru intre cele doua. Daca balanta se inclina prea mult intr-o parte , e greu sa se mai poata pastra o moralitate. Echilibrul in sine e un lucru bun.

Ndeshja O grue, që të ndesha në ditn e fatkobit tem, kur prirja njellte e syt shikojshin zi e ndjejshe veten se dhe unë jam fli të një ndjesi si ti. 0 gme, q'u ndeshme ditne e fatkobit tonë zemër për zemër edhe ball për ball e ndjesitë n'u shprehën me mall më një vall': sahall... Dhe kështu në rrugë të madhe e shitme zemrën tonë, njerzve që vetëm një të përqeshun dhanë për të e shkuen të kënaqun e tu' u gëzue - pse panë mfshehsinat intime të kësaj jetesës sonë. E na, dhe një dhimbë të sinqertë tue ndijë, vuejshim me zemër të ndrydhun si dy fëmijë të humbun ndër vise të hueja natën, vonë, o grue, q'u ndeshme në ditn e fatkobit tonë.

Timpul poate curge inegal. In sine, el e constant, dar poate sa isi piarda fluditatea si sa se distorsioneze cumplit. Uneori e teribil de greoi si de lent, alteori usor si rapid. Cateodata evenimentele isi schimba cronologia sau chiar dispar cu desavarsire. Alteori apar unele care nici n-ar trebui sa existe. Manevrand astfel timpul dupa bunul lor plac, oamenii ajusteaza semnificatia pe care o atribuie propriei lor existente. Cu alte cuvinte, ei reusesc sa-si apere cumva sanatatea mintala. Daca ar fi nevoiti sa-l perceapa in mod uniform si in ordinea corecta in care acesta se scurge, mai mult ca sigur ca ar ceda nervos. O astfel de viata ar fi tortura curata.

Nascem em algum lugar, buscam tranquilamente apenas o mínimo e o necessário e logo desaparecem. Possivelmente, vão para um outro mundo, diferente do nosso.

For now, the Simple Daily Practice means doing ONE thing every day. Try any one of these things each day: A) Sleep eight hours. B) Eat two meals instead of three. C) No TV. D) No junk food. E) No complaining for one whole day. F) No gossip. G) Return an e-mail from five years ago. H) Express thanks to a friend. I) Watch a funny movie or a stand-up comic. J) Write down a list of ideas. The ideas can be about anything. K) Read a spiritual text. Any one that is inspirational to you. The Bible, The Tao te Ching, anything you want. L) Say to yourself when you wake up, “I’m going to save a life today.” Keep an eye out for that life you can save. M) Take up a hobby. Don’t say you don’t have time. Learn the piano. Take chess lessons. Do stand-up comedy. Write a novel. Do something that takes you out of your current rhythm. N) Write down your entire schedule. The schedule you do every day. Cross out one item and don’t do that anymore. O) Surprise someone. P) Think of ten people you are grateful for. Q) Forgive someone. You don’t have to tell them. Just write it down on a piece of paper and burn the paper. It turns out this has the same effect in terms of releasing oxytocin in the brain as actually forgiving them in person. R) Take the stairs instead of the elevator. S) I’m going to steal this next one from the 1970s pop psychology book Don’t Say Yes When You Want to Say No: when you find yourself thinking of that special someone who is causing you grief, think very quietly, “No.” If you think of him and (or?) her again, think loudly, “No!” Again? Whisper, “No!” Again, say it. Louder. Yell it. Louder. And so on. T) Tell someone every day that you love them. U) Don’t have sex with someone you don’t love. V) Shower. Scrub. Clean the toxins off your body. W) Read a chapter in a biography about someone who is an inspiration to you. X) Make plans to spend time with a friend. Y) If you think, “Everything would be better off if I were dead,” then think, “That’s really cool. Now I can do anything I want and I can postpone this thought for a while, maybe even a few months.” Because what does it matter now? The planet might not even be around in a few months. Who knows what could happen with all these solar flares. You know the ones I’m talking about. Z) Deep breathing. When the vagus nerve is inflamed, your breathing becomes shallower. Your breath becomes quick. It’s fight-or-flight time! You are panicking. Stop it! Breathe deep. Let me tell you something: most people think “yoga” is all those exercises where people are standing upside down and doing weird things. In the Yoga Sutras, written in 300 B.C., there are 196 lines divided into four chapters. In all those lines, ONLY THREE OF THEM refer to physical exercise. It basically reads, “Be able to sit up straight.” That’s it. That’s the only reference in the Yoga Sutras to physical exercise. Claudia always tells me that yogis measure their lives in breaths, not years. Deep breathing is what keeps those breaths going.

Vos digo: servir desde baixo a cima é o sumo necessário, e limitar-se a um ofício é o melhor. Ao menos dotado é sempre caso de ofício, ao de maior talento uma arte, e ao melhor quando só faz uma coisa as faz todas; ou, p q seja menos paradoxal, no q bem faz vê td q é bem feito.

From his beach bag the man took an old penknife with a red handle and began to etch the signs of the letters onto nice flat pebbles. At the same time, he spoke to Mondo about everything there was in the letters, about everything you could see in them when you looked and when you listened. He spoke about A, which is like a big fly with its wings pulled back; about B, which is funny, with its two tummies; or C and D, which are like the moon, a crescent moon or a half-full moon; and then there was O, which was the full moon in the black sky. H is high, a ladder to climb up trees or to reach the roofs of houses; E and F look like a rake and a shovel; and G is like a fat man sitting in an armchair. I dances on tiptoes, with a little head popping up each time it bounces, whereas J likes to swing. K is broken like an old man, R takes big strides like a soldier, and Y stands tall, its arms up in the air, and it shouts: help! L is a tree on the river's edge, M is a mountain, N is for names, and people waving their hands, P is asleep on one paw, and Q is sitting on its tail; S is always a snake, Z is always a bolt of lightning, T is beautiful, like the mast on a ship, U is like a vase, V and W are birds, birds in flight; and X is a cross to help you remember.

No mundo dos antigos, governar era sinónimo de escutar a voz dos deuses. Naturalmente que, com o seria de esperar, esse sistema acabou por ser abolido. Os reis deixaram de ser assassinados e o poder real transformou-se numa instituição laica e hereditária. E foi assim que as pessoas deixaram de ouvir as vozes dos deuse.

Quem praticou o massacre procura se justificar, criando razões para se explicar, e com isso consegue esquecer. Consegue desviar os olhos do que não quer ver. Mas a vítima jamais esquece. Como não consegue desviar os olhos, a lembrança do massacre passa de pai para filho. O mundo, Aomame, é uma incessante luta entre a memória de quem está de um lado e a memória de quem está do outro.

He imagined a town called A. Around the communal fire they’re shaping arrowheads and carving tributes o the god of the hunt. One day some guys with spears come over the ridge, perform all kinds of meanness, take over, and the new guys rename the town B. Whereupon they hang around the communal fire sharpening arrowheads and carving tributes to the god of the hunt. Some climatic tragedy occurs — not carving the correct tributary figurines probably — and the people of B move farther south, where word is there’s good fishing, at least according to those who wander to B just before being cooked for dinner. Another tribe of unlucky souls stops for the night in the emptied village, looks around at the natural defenses provided by the landscape, and decides to stay awhile. It’s a while lot better than their last digs — what with the lack of roving tigers and such — plus it comes with all the original fixtures. they call the place C, after their elder, who has learned that pretending to talk to spirits is a fun gag that gets you stuff. Time passes. More invasions, more recaptures, D, E, F, and G. H stands as it is for a while. That ridge provides some protection from the spring floods, and if you keep a sentry up there you can see the enemy coming for miles. Who wouldn’t want to park themselves in that real estate? The citizens of H leave behind cool totems eventually toppled by the people of I, whose lack of aesthetic sense if made up for by military acumen. J, K, L, adventures in thatched roofing, some guys with funny religions from the eastern plains, long-haired freaks from colder climes, the town is burned to the ground and rebuilt by still more fugitives. This is the march of history. And conquest and false hope. M falls to plague, N to natural disaster — same climatic tragedy as before, apparently it’s cyclical. Mineral wealth makes it happen for the O people, and the P people are renowned for their basket weaving. No one ever — ever — mentions Q. The dictator names the city after himself; his name starts with the letter R. When the socialists come to power they spend a lot of time painting over his face, which is everywhere. They don’t last. Nobody lasts because there’s always somebody else. They all thought they owned it because they named it and that was their undoing. They should have kept the place nameless. They should have been glad for their good fortune, and left it at that. X, Y, Z.

Devo parar de pensar em coisas desnecessárias”, pensou Ushikawa. “Devo aquecer o corpo, endurecer a casca do meu coração e viver um dia de cada vez. Não passo de uma máquina. Uma máquina insensível, eficaz e resistente. Que suga o tempo novo por uma ponta, transforma-o em velho, e o expele por outra ponta. Que existe por existir. Devo voltar a ser novamente uma máquina que opera de modo puramente cíclico — um movimento perene que um dia haverá de findar.

Kanga e përndimit Kangë Pëmdimi, kangë njeriu të dehun nga besimi në vete Kanga e tij një fe tjetër, me tempuj të tjerë, me meshë solemne, ku prej mëngjesit deri në mbramje shkrihen ndjesitë tmtë njerzore n'apoteozën e hekurit; shpirtënt përshkohen në tymore, të cilat në fishkllim i përqeshen zotit të vjetër edhe qiellit e me re të ndyt' tymi të dendun ndriçimin ia vrasin diellit. Fe tjetër, fe e çmendun e Pëmdimit të mrekullueshëm... 1 ekzaltuem shklet njeriu në delirium të pakuptueshëm. Dëgjon zanin q'i thotë feja. Plagos qiellën, e shpon tokën, i shkyn horizontet e bardhë, zhvesh natyrën - ia heq kotllën. Kult' i tij - kult i zhveshun! Nuk ia bren ma trutë enigmi - e varros, mbi varr ia vë një shej përbuzje o nderimi. Kangë Pëmdimi, kangë njeriu të dehun nga besimi në vete Kanga e tij shpres' e bukur, me flatra të një tjetërjete në të cilën dielli do ndrrojë udhën: ka për t'u lindë nga Pëmdimi - por deh! nga lumnia tash humb kokën rruzullimi. Me një "tango" qejfi tash ia ngatrron fijet zotit të vjetër ka me ia skandalizue të birtë besnikë në planetë të tjeter, Kanga Pëmdimi, kangë njeriu të dehun nga besimi në vete... Le të dëgjojmë kangën që mshtillet në shllung' avulli në pika djerse.

The LORD is my  d shepherd; I shall not  e want. 2 He makes me lie down in green  f pastures. He leads me beside still waters. [1] 3 He g restores my soul. He h leads me in i paths of righteousness [2] for his j name’s sake. 4 Even though I  k walk through the valley of  l the shadow of death, [3] I will m fear no evil, for n you are with me; your o rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You  p prepare a table before me in  q the presence of my enemies; you  r anoint my head with oil; my s cup overflows. 6 Surely [4] goodness and mercy [5] shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall  t dwell [6] in the house of the LORD u forever.

Kanget e pakendueme Thellë në veten teme flejnë kangët e pakëndueme të cilat ende vuejtja as gëzimi s'i nxori, të cilat flejnë e presin një ditë ma të lumnueme me shpërthye, m'u këndue pa frigë e pa zori. Thelltë në veten teme kangët e miajesin... e unë jam vullkani që fle i fashitun, por kur t'i vijë dita të gjitha ka me i qitun në një mijë ngjyra të bukra që nuk vdesin. Por a do të vijë dita kangët me u zgjue? Apo ndoshta shekujt me ne prap po tallen? Jo! Jo! Se liria filloi me lulzue dhe e ndjej nga Dielli (alegorik) valën. O kangët që fleni reliktet e mia q'ende s'keni prekun as një zemër të huej, vetëm unë me ju po kënaqem si fëmia unë- djepi juej; ndoshta vorri juej.

8for  b at one time you were  c darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.  d Walk as children of light 9(for  e the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10and  f try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 g Take no part in the  h unfruitful  i works of darkness, but instead  j expose them. 12For  k it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13But when  l anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,      m “Awake, O sleeper,         and  n arise from the dead,     and  o Christ will shine on you.” 15 p Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 p making the best use of the time, because  q the days are evil.

Blessed is the man [1]         who  a walks not in  b the counsel of the wicked,     nor stands in  c the way of sinners,         nor  d sits in  e the seat of  f scoffers; 2    but his  g delight is in the law [2] of the LORD,         and on his  h law he meditates day and night.     3 He is like  i a tree         planted by  j streams of water     that yields its fruit in its season,         and its  k leaf does not wither.      l In all that he does, he prospers. 4    The wicked are not so,         but are like  m chaff that the wind drives away.     5 Therefore the wicked  n will not stand in the judgment,         nor sinners in  o the congregation of the righteous; 6    for the LORD  p knows  q the way of the righteous,         but the way of the wicked will perish.

Vajtim për robëri të Shqiptarëvet O të humbur shqipëtarë, Seç qenkeni për të qarë! Për të qar’ e për të sharë, Për të shar’ e për të vrarë! Armiqtë mbë dhé ju hodhnë, Dhe ju shtypnë sa u lodhnë! Sa u lodhn’ e sa ju ngopnë Ju gdhendnë edhe ju rropnë. As bukë, as brekë s’ju lanë, Ju punoni, ata hanë! Nuk ju lan’ as pakë nderë Q’e kini pasur përherë. As nder, as turp, as gjak s’kini Unji kryet dhe po rrini. I duroni vet armiqtë; Prisni vdekjen apo vdiqtë? Shërbëtorë t’Anadollit, Kleçk e lodra të Stambollit. Në mos u shove fare, Ndizu, zemra shqipëtare! O shqipëtarë barkzbrazur, Fustançjerr’ e këmbëzbathur Zemërohuni një herë, Mprehni kordhët për të prerë, Mprehni kordh’ e mprehni pallë Të ju ndritin yj mi ballë, Ti frikësoni zuzarët Ç’i shuan shqipëtarët, E në vend tuaj të rroni Si të doni e si të thoni!

The LORD Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David.     PSALM 23 The LORD is my  d shepherd; I shall not  e want.         2 He makes me lie down in green  f pastures.     He leads me beside still waters. [1]         3 He  g restores my soul.     He  h leads me in  i paths of righteousness [2]         for his  j name's sake.     4 Even though I  k walk through the valley of  l the shadow of death, [3]         I will  m fear no evil,     for  n you are with me;         your  o rod and your staff,         they comfort me.     5 You  p prepare a table before me         in  q the presence of my enemies;     you  r anoint my head with oil;         my  s cup overflows.     6 Surely [4] goodness and mercy [5] shall follow me         all the days of my life,     and I shall  t dwell [6] in the house of the LORD          u forever. [7]

PSALM 139 O LORD, you have  p searched me and known me! 2    You  q know when I sit down and when I rise up;         you  r discern my thoughts from afar. 3    You search out my path and my lying down         and are acquainted with all my ways. 4    Even before a word is on my tongue,         behold, O LORD,  s you know it altogether. 5    You  t hem me in, behind and before,         and  u lay your hand upon me. 6     v Such knowledge is  w too wonderful for me;         it is high; I cannot attain it.     7  x Where shall I go from your Spirit?         Or where  y shall I flee from your presence? 8     z If I ascend to heaven, you are there!          a If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! 9    If I take the wings of the morning         and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10    even there your hand shall  b lead me,         and your right hand shall hold me. 11    If I say,  c “Surely the darkness shall cover me,         and the light about me be night,” 12     d even the darkness is not dark to you;         the night is bright as the day,         for darkness is as light with you.     13 For you  e formed my inward parts;         you  f knitted me together in my mother’s womb. 14    I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. [1]      g Wonderful are your works;         my soul knows it very well. 15     h My frame was not hidden from you,     when I was being made in secret,         intricately woven in  i the depths of the earth. 16    Your eyes saw my unformed substance;     in your  j book were written, every one of them,         the days that were formed for me,         when as yet there was none of them.

PSALM 91 He who dwells in  a the shelter of the Most High         will abide in  b the shadow of the Almighty. 2    I will say [1] to the LORD, “My  c refuge and my  d fortress,         my God, in whom I  e trust.”     3 For he will deliver you from  f the snare of the fowler         and from the deadly pestilence. 4    He will  g cover you with his pinions,         and under his  h wings you will  i find refuge;         his  j faithfulness is  k a shield and buckler. 5     l You will not fear  m the terror of the night,         nor the arrow that flies by day, 6    nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,         nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.     7 A thousand may fall at your side,         ten thousand at your right hand,         but it will not come near you. 8    You will only look with your eyes         and  n see the recompense of the wicked.     9 Because you have made the LORD your  o dwelling place—         the Most High, who is my  c refuge [2]— 10     p no evil shall be allowed to befall you,          q no plague come near your tent.     11  r For he will command his  s angels concerning you         to  t guard you in all your ways. 12    On their hands they will bear you up,         lest you  u strike your foot against a stone. 13    You will tread on  v the lion and the  w adder;         the young lion and  x the serpent you will  y trample underfoot.     14 “Because he  z holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;         I will protect him, because he  a knows my name. 15    When he  b calls to me, I will answer him;         I will be with him in trouble;         I will rescue him and  c honor him. 16    With  d long life I will satisfy him         and  e show him my salvation.

Eis o que não é bonito em tudo isso: daqui não se vê a poeira ou a tinta rachando ou sei lá o quê, mas dá para ver o que este lugar é de verdade. Dá para ver o quanto é falso. Não é nem consistente o suficiente para ser feito de plástico. É uma cidade de papel. Quer dizer, olhe só para ela, Q: olhe para todas aquelas ruas sem saída, aquelas ruas que dão a volta em si mesmas, todas aquelas casas construídas para virem abaixo. Todas aquelas pessoas de papel vivendo suas vidas em casas de papel, queimando o futuro para se manterem aquecidas. Todas as crianças de papel bebendo a cerveja que algum vagabundo comprou para elas na loja de papel da esquina. Todos idiotizados com a obsessão por possuir coisas. Todas as coisas finas e frágeis como papel. E todas as pessoas também. Vivi aqui durante dezoito anos e nunca encontrei ninguém que se importasse realmente com qualquer coisa.

— Você sabe qual é a diferença entre as palavras inglesas lunatic e insane? — ela perguntou. — Só que ambos são adjetivos que se referem à anomalia psicológica. Não sei dos detalhes que os diferenciam. — Insane é quando a pessoa nasce com problemas na cabeça, e o tratamento recomendado é a utilização de medicamentos específicos. Em contrapartida, lunatic vem do latim luna, que significa lua. É quando a pessoa, sujeita à influência da luna, perde temporariamente o juízo. Na Inglaterra do século XIX, se uma pessoa cometia um crime, mas era considerada lunática, sua pena era reduzida em um grau. Naquela época, alegavam que um lunático não podia ser responsabilizado pelo crime que cometera, pois era a luminosidade da lua que causava o estado de confusão mental e o induzia a cometer aquele o ato. Pode até parecer mentira, mas essa lei de fato existiu. Ou seja, admitia-se legalmente que a lua era capaz de enlouquecer as pessoas.

Mas a exclusão, que me impus, dos fins e dos movimentos da vida; que procurei, do meu contacto com as coisas — levou-me precisamente àquilo q que eu procurava fugir. Eu não queria sentir a vida, nem tocar as coisas, sabendo, pela experiência do meu temperamento em contágio do mundo, que a sensação da vida era sempre dolorosa para mim. Mas ao evitar esse contacto, isolei-me, e, isolando-me, exacerbei a minha sensibilidade já excessiva. Se fosse possível cortar de todo o contacto com as coisas, bem iria à minha sensibilidade. Mas esse isolamento total não pode realizar-se. Por menos que eu faça, respiro; por menos que aja, movo-me. E, assim, conseguindo exacerbar e minha sensibilidade pelo isolamento, consegui que os factos mínimos, que antes mesmo a mim nada fariam, me ferissem como catástrofes. Errei o método de fuga. Fugi, por um rodeio incômodo, para o mesmo lugar onde estava, com o cansaço da viagem sobre o horror de viver ali.

REVELATION 2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of  e him who holds the seven stars in his right hand,  f who walks among the seven golden lampstands. 2 g “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but  h have tested those  i who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. 3I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up  j for my name’s sake, and you  k have not grown weary. 4But I have this against you, that you have abandoned  l the love you had at first. 5Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do  m the works you did at first. If not,  n I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. 6Yet this you have: you hate the works of  o the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 p He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  q To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of  r the tree of life, which is in  s the paradise of God.

worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with w crooked speech, 13  x winks with his eyes, signals [3] with his feet, points with his finger, 14 with y perverted heart z devises evil, continually a sowing discord; 15 therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; b in a moment he will be broken c beyond healing. 16 There are  d six things that the LORD hates,  d seven that are an abomination to him: 17 e haughty eyes, f a lying tongue, and  g hands that shed innocent blood, 18  h a heart that devises wicked plans,  i feet that make haste to run to evil, 19 j a false witness who k breathes out lies, and one who  a sows discord among brothers. Warnings Against Adultery 20  l My son, keep your father’s commandment,  l and forsake not your mother’s teaching. 21  m Bind them on your heart always; n tie them around your neck. 22  o When you walk, they [4] will lead you; o when you lie down, they will p watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you. 23 For the commandment is  q a lamp and the teaching a light,

Put on  h the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against  i the schemes of the devil. 12For  j we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against  k the rulers, against the authorities, against  l the cosmic powers over  m this present darkness, against  n the spiritual forces of evil  o in the heavenly places. 13Therefore  p take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in  q the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14Stand therefore,  r having fastened on the belt of truth, and  s having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and,  t as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16In all circumstances take up  u the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all  v the flaming darts of  w the evil one; 17and take  s the helmet of salvation, and  x the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18praying  y at all times  z in the Spirit,  a with all prayer and supplication. To that end  b keep alert with all perseverance, making  c supplication for all the saints, 19and  d also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth  e boldly to proclaim  f the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I  g am an ambassador  h in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Do Not Be Anxious 25 e “Therefore I tell you,  f do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 g Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  h Are you not of more value than they? 27And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his  i span of life? [7] 28And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29yet I tell you,  j even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you,  k O you of little faith? 31Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For  l the Gentiles seek after all these things, and  m your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33But  n seek first  o the kingdom of God and his righteousness,  p and all these things will be added to you. 34 q “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

6Yet among  e the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not  f a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age,  g who are doomed to pass away. 7But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God,  h which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8None of  i the rulers of this age understood this, for  j if they had, they would not have crucified  k the Lord of glory. 9But, as it is written,      l “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,         nor the heart of man imagined,     what God has  m prepared  n for those who love him”— 10these things  o God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even  p the depths of God. 11For who knows a person’s thoughts  q except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12Now  r we have received not  s the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13And we impart this  t in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit,  u interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. [4] 14The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are  v folly to him, and  w he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15The  x spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 y “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But  z we have the mind of Christ.

EPHESIANS 3 For this reason I, Paul,  o a prisoner for Christ Jesus  p on behalf of you Gentiles— 2assuming that you have heard of  q the stewardship of  r God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 s how the mystery was made known to me  t by revelation,  u as I have written briefly. 4 v When you read this, you can perceive my insight into  w the mystery of Christ, 5which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. 6This mystery is [1] that the Gentiles are  x fellow heirs,  y members of the same body, and  z partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 7 a Of this gospel I was made  b a minister according to the gift of  c God’s grace, which was given me  d by the working of his power. 8To me,  e though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given,  f to preach to the Gentiles the  g unsearchable  h riches of Christ, 9and  i to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery  j hidden for ages in [2] God  k who created all things, 10so that through the church the manifold  l wisdom of God  m might now be made known to  n the rulers and authorities  o in the heavenly places. 11This was  p according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12in whom we have  q boldness and  r access with  s confidence through our  t faith in him. 13So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering  u for you,  v which is your glory.

Stewards of God’s Grace 1 PETER 4 Since therefore  z Christ suffered in the flesh, [1]  a arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for  b whoever has suffered in the flesh  c has ceased from sin, 2 d so as to live for  e the rest of the time in the flesh  f no longer for human passions but  g for the will of God. 3For the time that is past  h suffices  i for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of  j debauchery, and  k they malign you; 5but they will give account to him who is ready  l to judge the living and the dead. 6For this is why  m the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does. 7 n The end of all things is at hand; therefore  o be self-controlled and sober-minded  p for the sake of your prayers. 8Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since  q love covers a multitude of sins. 9 r Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 s As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another,  t as good stewards of God’s varied grace: 11whoever speaks, as one who speaks  u oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves  v by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything  w God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.  x To him belong glory and  y dominion forever and ever. Amen.

David's Song of Thanks     8  f Oh give thanks to the LORD;  g call upon his name;          h make known his deeds among the peoples!     9 Sing to him, sing praises to him;         tell of all his wondrous works!     10 Glory in his holy name;         let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!     11  i Seek the LORD and his strength;         seek his presence continually!     12  j Remember the wondrous works that he has done,          k his miracles and the judgments he uttered,     13 O offspring of Israel his servant,         children of Jacob, his chosen ones!     14 He is the LORD our God;          l his judgments are in all the earth.     15 Remember his covenant forever,         the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,     16 the covenant  m that he made with Abraham,         his sworn promise to Isaac,     17 which  n he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,         to Israel as an everlasting covenant,     18 saying,  o “To you I will give the land of Canaan,         as your portion for an inheritance.”     19 When you were  p few in number,         of little account, and  q sojourners in it,     20 wandering from nation to nation,         from one kingdom to another people,     21 he allowed no one to oppress them;         he  r rebuked kings on their account,     22 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,         do my  s prophets no harm!”     23  t Sing to the LORD, all the earth!         Tell of his salvation from day to day.     24 Declare his glory among the nations,         his marvelous works among all the peoples!     25 For  u great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,         and he is to be feared  v above all gods.     26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,          w but the LORD made the heavens.     27 Splendor and majesty are before him;         strength and joy are in his place.     28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,          x ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!     29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;         bring an offering and come before him!      y Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; [2]         30 tremble before him, all the earth;         yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.     31  z Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,         and let them say among the nations,  a “The LORD reigns!”     32  b Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;         let the field exult, and everything in it!     33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy         before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.     34 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;         for his steadfast love endures forever! 35 c Say also:     “Save us, O God of our salvation,         and gather and deliver us from among the nations,     that we may give thanks to your holy name         and glory in your praise.     36  d Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,         from everlasting to everlasting!”  e Then all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the LORD.

and  e who came from the waters of Judah,  f who swear by the name of the LORD and confess the God of Israel, but not in truth or right. 2 For they call themselves after the holy city,  g and stay themselves on the God of Israel; the LORD of hosts is his name. 3 “The former things  h I declared of old; they went out from my mouth, and I announced them; then suddenly I did them, and they came to pass. 4 Because I know that  i you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead brass, 5  h I declared them to you from of old, before they came to pass I announced them to you, lest you should say,  j ‘My idol did them, my carved image and my metal image commanded them.’ 6 “You have heard; now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forth  k I announce to you new things, hidden things that you have not known. 7 They are created now, not long ago; before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’ 8 You have never heard, you have never known, from of old your ear has not been opened. For I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and that  l from before birth you were called a rebel. 9  m “For my name’s sake I defer my anger; for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off. 10 Behold, I have refined you,  n but not as silver;  o I have tried [1] you in the furnace of affliction. 11  p For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name [2] be profaned?  q My glory I will not give to another.

9A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, after he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness: 10 I said,  x In the middle [4] of my days I must depart; I am consigned to the gates of Sheol for the rest of my years. 11 I said, I shall not see the LORD, the LORD  y in the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world. 12 My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me z like a shepherd’s tent; a like a weaver b I have rolled up my life;  c he cuts me off from the loom;  d from day to night you bring me to an end; 13 e I calmed myself [5] until morning; like a lion  f he breaks all my bones; from day to night you bring me to an end. 14 Like  g a swallow or a crane I chirp; h I moan like a dove.  i My eyes are weary with looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed;  j be my pledge of safety! 15 What shall I say? For he has spoken to me, and he himself has done it.  k I walk slowly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul. 16  l O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these is the life of my spirit. Oh restore me to health and make me live! 17  m Behold, it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness;  n but in love you have delivered my life from the pit of destruction,  n for you have cast all my sins behind your back. 18  o For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you; those who go down to the pit do not hope for your faithfulness. 19 The living, the living, he thanks you, as I do this day;  p the father makes known to the children your faithfulness. 20 The LORD will save me, and we will play my music on stringed instruments all the days of our lives,  q at the house of the LORD.

The Ten Commandments EXODUS 20  z And  a God spoke all these words, saying, 2 b “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 c “You shall have no other gods before [1] me. 4 d “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 e You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am  f a jealous God,  g visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6but showing steadfast love to thousands [2] of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 h “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. 8 i “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 j Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10but the  k seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the  l sojourner who is within your gates. 11For  m in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 12 n “Honor your father and your mother,  o that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. 13 p “You shall not murder. [3] 14 q “You shall not commit adultery. 15 r “You shall not steal. 16 s “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 17 t “You shall not covet  u your neighbor’s house;  v you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.

Many of the really great, famous proofs in the history of math have been reduction proofs. Here's an example. It is Euclid's proof of Proposition 20 in Book IX of the Elements. Prop. 20 concerns the primes, which-as you probably remember from school-are those integers that can't be divided into smaller integers w/o remainder. Prop. 20 basically states that there is no largest prime number. (What this means of course is that the number of prime numbers is really infinite, but Euclid dances all around this; he sure never says 'infinite'.) Here is the proof. Assume that there is in fact a largest prime number. Call this number Pn. This means that the sequence of primes (2,3,5,7,11,...,Pn) is exhaustive and finite: (2,3,5,7,11,...,Pn) is all the primes there are. Now think of the number R, which we're defining as the number you get when you multiply all the primes up to Pn together and then add 1. R is obviously bigger than Pn. But is R prime? If it is, we have an immediate contradiction, because we already assumed that Pn was the largest possible prime. But if R isn't prime, what can it be divided by? It obviously can't be divided by any of the primes in the sequence (2,3,5,...,Pn), because dividing R by any of these will leave the remainder 1. But this sequence is all the primes there are, and the primes are ultimately the only numbers that a non-prime can be divided by. So if R isn't prime, and if none of the primes (2,3,5,...,Pn) can divide it, there must be some other prime that divides R. But this contradicts the assumption that (2,3,5,...,Pn) is exhaustive of all the prime numbers. Either way, we have a clear contradiction. And since the assumption that there's a largest prime entails a contradiction, modus tollens dictates that the assumption is necessarily false, which by LEM means that the denial of the assumption is necessarily true, meaning there is no largest prime. Q.E.D.

Try any one of these things each day: A) Sleep eight hours. B) Eat two meals instead of three. C) No TV. D) No junk food. E) No complaining for one whole day. F) No gossip. G) Return an e-mail from five years ago. H) Express thanks to a friend. I) Watch a funny movie or a stand-up comic. J) Write down a list of ideas. The ideas can be about anything. K) Read a spiritual text. Any one that is inspirational to you. The Bible, The Tao te Ching, anything you want. L) Say to yourself when you wake up, “I’m going to save a life today.” Keep an eye out for that life you can save. M) Take up a hobby. Don’t say you don’t have time. Learn the piano. Take chess lessons. Do stand-up comedy. Write a novel. Do something that takes you out of your current rhythm. N) Write down your entire schedule. The schedule you do every day. Cross out one item and don’t do that anymore. O) Surprise someone. P) Think of ten people you are grateful for. Q) Forgive someone. You don’t have to tell them. Just write it down on a piece of paper and burn the paper. It turns out this has the same effect in terms of releasing oxytocin in the brain as actually forgiving them in person. R) Take the stairs instead of the elevator. S) I’m going to steal this next one from the 1970s pop psychology book Don’t Say Yes When You Want to Say No: when you find yourself thinking of that special someone who is causing you grief, think very quietly, “No.” If you think of him and (or?) her again, think loudly, “No!” Again? Whisper, “No!” Again, say it. Louder. Yell it. Louder. And so on. T) Tell someone every day that you love them. U) Don’t have sex with someone you don’t love. V) Shower. Scrub. Clean the toxins off your body. W) Read a chapter in a biography about someone who is an inspiration to you. X) Make plans to spend time with a friend. Y) If you think, “Everything would be better off if I were dead,” then think, “That’s really cool. Now I can do anything I want and I can postpone this thought for a while, maybe even a few months.” Because what does it matter now? The planet might not even be around in a few months. Who knows what could happen with all these solar flares. You know the ones I’m talking about. Z) Deep breathing. When the vagus nerve is inflamed, your breathing becomes shallower. Your breath becomes quick. It’s fight-or-flight time! You are panicking. Stop it! Breathe deep. Let me tell you something: most people think “yoga” is all those exercises where people are standing upside down and doing weird things. In the Yoga Sutras, written in 300 B.C., there are 196 lines divided into four chapters. In all those lines, ONLY THREE OF THEM refer to physical exercise. It basically reads, “Be able to sit up straight.” That’s it. That’s the only reference in the Yoga Sutras to physical exercise. Claudia always tells me that yogis measure their lives in breaths, not years. Deep breathing is what keeps those breaths going.

The Righteousness of God Through Faith 21[†]But now  a the righteousness of God  b has been manifested apart from the law, although  c the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22[†]the righteousness of God  d through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.  e For there is no distinction: 23[†]for  f all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24[†]  g and are justified  h by his grace as a gift,  i through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25[†]whom God  j put forward as  k a propitiation  l by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in  m his divine forbearance he had passed over  n former sins. 26[†]It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. 27[†]  o Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28[†]For we hold that one is justified by faith  p apart from works of the law. 29[†]Or  q is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since  r God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and  s the uncircumcised through faith. 31[†]Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

Adam passa la main dans ses cheveux ras. Il sentit qu'en faisant cela, il ressemblait à un Américain. 'Vous savez quoi?' dit-il; 'vous savez quoi? Nous passons notre temps à faire de la saloperie de cinéma. Du cinéma, oui. Du théâtre aussi, et du roman psychologique. Nous n’avons plus grand-chose de simple, nous sommes des cafards, des demi-portions. De vieilles loques. On dirait que nous sommes nés sous la plume d’un écrivain des années trente, précieux, beaux, raffinés, pleins de culture, pleins de cette saloperie de culture. Ça me colle dans les dos comme un manteau mouillé. Ça me colle partout.' 'Eh - qu'est-ce qui est simple, à ce compte-là?' intervint, assez mal à propos, l'étudiant à lunettes. 'Comment, qu'est-ce qui est simple? Vous ne le savez pas? Vous ne vous en doutez donc pas quand même un peu, vous?' Adam eut un geste vers sa poche pour prendre le paquet de cigarettes, mais, nerveusement, sa main s'arrêta. 'Vous ne la voyez donc pas, cette vie, cette putain de vie, autour de vous? Vous ne voyez pas que les gens vivent, qu'ils vivent, qu'ils mangent, etc? Qu'ils sont heureux? Vous ne voyez pas que celui qui a écrit, "la terre est bleue comme une orange" est un fou, ou un imbécile? - Mais non , vous vous dites, c'est un génie, il a disloqué la réalité en deux mots. Ça décolle de la réalité. C'est un charme infantile. Pas de maturité. Tout ce que vous voudrez. Mais moi, j'ai besoin de systèmes, ou alors je deviens fou. Ou bien la terre est orange, ou bien l'orange est bleue. Mais dans le système qui consiste à se servir de la parole, la terre est bleu et les oranges sont orange. Je suis arrivé à un point où je ne peux plus souffrir d'incartades. Vous comprenez, j'ai trop de mal à trouver la réalité. Je manque d'humour? Parce que d'après vous il faut de l'humour pour comprendre ça? Vous savez ce que je dis? Je manque si peu d'humour que je suis allé beaucoup plus loin que vous. Et voilà. J'en reviens ruiné. Mon humour, à moi, il était dans l'indicible. Il était caché et je ne pouvais le dire. Et comme je ne pouvais le mettre en mots, il était beaucoup plus énorme que le vôtre. Hein. En fait il n'avait pas de dimensions. Vous savez. Moi je fais tout comme ça. La terre est bleue comme une orange, mais le ciel est nu comme une pendule, l'eau rouge comme un grêlon. Et même mieux: le ciel coléoptère inonde les bractées. Vouloir dormir. Cigarette cigare galvaude les âmes. 11è. 887. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. et Cie.' 'Attendez, attendez un moment, je -' commença la jeune fille. Adam continua: 'Je voudrais arrêter ce jeu stupide. Si vous saviez comme je voudrais. Je suis écrasé, bientôt presque écrasé..." dit-il, la voix non pas plus faible, mais plus impersonnelle.

La domanda a questo punto è d'obbligo: perché una parte della comunità LGBTQIA+, esclusa la componente riunita sotto la lettera q, dovrebbe fare resistenza a chi esprime la propria queerness? Il primo motivo è che, se vivi in un mondo che ti nega o ti definisce come anomalia del sistema, gridare «io esisto ed esisto cosí» è un imprescindibile atto di autodeterminazione e di protesta. Da tale bisogno sono nati il Pride e il coming out come pratiche politiche e non è strano che chi ha vissuto la rivelazione di sé come una conquista faccia poi fatica a capire che la non-rivelazione di sé possa esserlo altrettanto. [...] Il secondo motivo l'ha messo a fuoco Chiara Valerio affermando che avere un nome per qualcosa non significa perforza includerla, anzi spesso è il contrario: «Non esistono linguaggi inclusivi. Parlare significa nominare, nominare significa escludere». Anche la parola «queer» esclude dunque qualcosa: è la necessità delle altre definizioni. L'espressione della queerness, considerando superate le categorie del binarismo, sottintende che siano limitanti, e ciò, ovvio, non può piacere a nessunə che se le sia attribuite, specie se per farlo ha dovuto compiere un percorso doloroso.

F.B. «C'è ancora qualcuno che parla dei siriani? Spariti, inghiottiti dal silenzio. Tutti pensano che la guerra laggiù sia finita.» D.Q. «Invece hanno dovuto "arrangiarsi", cercare rifugio in Francia o in Germania. Oppure li abbiamo venduti a Erdogan, abbiamo pagato il sultano turco perché li trattenesse lì. Gli afghani invece li venderemo agli ayatollah iraniani, costruiremo con fondi europei dei bei campi profughi con le tende allineate, e con altri soldi pagheremo gli iraniani perché non li facciano uscire. Sì, siamo capaci di fare anche questo...»

Sólo hay dos maneras de vivir tu vida. Una es como si nada fuera un milagro, ha otra es como si todo fuera un milagro. Albert Einstein El milagro de Gary ¿Cómo pudo esta persona subir las escaleras?, pensé, mirando a través del ventanal junto a la entrada de mi oficina. Mi nuevo paciente acababa de subir la escalera. Se movía en una serie de pasos y pausas, durante las cuales miraba al siguiente escalón, preparándose para el esfuerzo.

Durante los 12 años que llevaba aquí, mi consultorio quiropráctico había llegado a ser uno de las más grandes de la ciudad de Los Angeles.¿Cómo podía cerrarlo y trasladarme? Decidí no salir a ayudar a ese hombre en el último par de escalones. No quería disminuir su inminente sensación de éxito. Podía ver en su cara la absoluta9

Warning Against Worldliness JAMES 4 [†]What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions [1] are  y at war within you? [2] 2[†]You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3[†]You ask and do not receive, because you ask  z wrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4[†] a You adulterous people! [3] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?  b Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5[†]Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit  c that he has made to dwell in us”? 6[†]But  d he gives more grace. Therefore it says,  e “God opposes the proud, but  d gives grace to the humble.” 7[†]Submit yourselves therefore to God.  f Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8[†] g Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.  h Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and  i purify your hearts,  j you double-minded. 9[†] k Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10[†] l Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. 11[†] m Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. [4] The one who speaks against a brother or  n judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12[†]There is only  o one lawgiver and  p judge, he who is able to save and  q to destroy. But  r who are you to judge your neighbor?

You can also use tee to write the output to several files at the same time, as shown in this example: root@beaglebone:/opt# du ‐d1 ‐h | tee /tmp/1.txt /tmp/2.txt /tmp/3.txt Filter Commands (from sort to xargs) There are filtering commands, each of which provides a useful function: sort: This command has several options, including (‐r) sorts in reverse; (‐f) ignores case; (‐d) uses dictionary sorting, ignoring punctuation; (‐n) numeric sort; (‐b) ignores blank space; (‐i) ignores control characters; (‐u) displays duplicate lines only once; and (‐m) merges multiple inputs into a single output. wc (word count): This can be used to calculate the number of words, lines, or characters in a stream. For example: root@beaglebone:/tmp# wc < animals.txt  4  4 18 This has returned that there are 4 lines, 4 words, and 18 characters. You can select the values independently by using (‐l) for line count; (‐w) for word count; (‐m) for character count; and (‐c) for the byte count (which would also be 18 in this case). head: Displays the first lines of the input. This is useful if you have a very long file or stream of information and you want to examine only the first few lines. By default it will display the first 10 lines. You can specify the number of lines using the ‐n option. For example, to get the first five lines of output of the dmesg command (display message or driver message), which displays the message buffer of the kernel, you can use the following: root@beaglebone:/tmp# dmesg | head ‐n5   [    0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0   [    0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset   [    0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu   [    0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuacct   [    0.000000] Linux version 3.13.4-bone5(root@imx6q-sabrelite-1gb-0) tail: This is just like head except that it displays the last lines of a file or stream. Using it in combination with dmesg provides useful output, as shown here: root@beaglebone:/tmp# dmesg | tail ‐n2   [   36.123251] libphy: 4a101000.mdio:00 - Link is Up - 100/Full   [   36.123421] IPv6:ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0:link becomes ready grep: A very powerful filter command that can parse lines using text and regular expressions. You can use this command to filter output with options, including (‐i) ignore case; (‐m 5) stop after five matches; (‐q) silent, will exit with return status 0 if any matches are found; (‐e) specify a pattern; (‐c) print a count of matches; (‐o) print only the matching text; and (‐l) list the filename of the file containing the match. For example, the following examines the dmesg output for the first three occurrences of the string “usb,” using ‐i to ignore case: root@beaglebone:/tmp# dmesg |grep ‐i ‐m3 usb   [    1.948582] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs   [    1.948637] usbcore: registered new interface driver hub   [    1.948795] usbcore: registered new device driver usb You can combine pipes together. For example, you get the exact same output by using head and displaying only the first three lines of the grep output: root@beaglebone:/tmp# dmesg |grep ‐i usb |head ‐n3   [    1.948582] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs   [    1.948637] usbcore: registered new interface driver hub   [    1.948795] usbcore: registered new device driver usb xargs: This is a very powerful filter command that enables you to construct an argument list that you use to call another command or tool. In the following example, a text file args.txt that contains three strings is used to create three new files. The output of cat is piped to xargs, where it passes the three strings as arguments to the touch command, creating three new files a.txt, b.txt,

Naquele dia, todos os bandos resolveram passar pela Rua do Coriolano a fim de ver o assunto mais comentado da cidade. Eu nem me importei, mas fui com todo mundo. Ao dobrarmos a esquina, eu já conseguia ouvir. Um som doce feito bala de goma ou, ainda, suco de manga. Era tocada em um piano e eu podia jurar que ela estava entrando pela minha pele, porque senti meus pelos levantarem abrindo caminho para que a canção dominasse meu corpo.

Terceiro sinal, blackout total. A atriz, então, entrou em cena ainda no escuro para se posicionar e, ao acender dos refletores... ela viu que o cenário estava errado, virou-se para o público, e percebeu que não era bem o cenário que estava trocado. Sara não estava mais no teatro.

[Q]uando a crença de que determinado símbolo tem poder viraliza, contaminando mentes em massa, o símbolo de fato passa a exercer um poder bastante real. Mesmo que seu poder tenha uma origem ficcional (no sentido de não corresponder à realidade), uma vez que o símbolo ganha uma carga libidinal intersubjetiva seus efeitos têm eficácia material, às vezes dramática, sobre o corpo social. Segundo a fórmula da "espiral hipersticional": quanto mais se acredita na magia, mais ela funciona, e quanto mais funciona, mais se acredita. Por isso a hiperstição atua também como um "intensificador de coincidências" (ou de "sincronicidades", como diria o escritor de ficção científica Philip K. Dick); na medida em que um processo hipersticional tem efeito catalisador, conecta e dá coerência a eventos díspares e heterogêneos em uma mesma narrativa, que se torna assim cada vez mais eficaz. Retrospectivamente, a vitória desse processo aparece como inevitável, um destino inexorável, como se o universo estivesse conspirando a favor. A inseparabilidade entre realidade e ficção, para o CCRU, não tinha portanto um sentido pós-moderno, de ceticismo com o mundo objetivo ou antirrealismo. Bem ao contrário, o interesse estava na investigação dos "poderes mágicos" do encantamento semiótico, isto é, a realização, em diferenciados graus, de virtualidades já ativas, em outras palavras: a passagem da ficção para a realidade, que pode ser compreendida como um processo de apoderamento da realidade pela ficção. Nessa perspectiva, a teoria não opera como uma representação passiva, mas como um agente ativo de transformação. Ou, em linguagem mágica, "um portal pelo qual entidades podem emergir".

Soy del norte, cumpa, donde está la flor del coplerío. Donde los changuitos ioran descalzos por esos cerros donde ia no crecen ni los iuios. No hay ni chancua pa darle a los changuitos, ni charqui ni guaschalocro ni mistol ni algarroba, ay juayputa q’hemos hecho señora magre de dios pa que andemos tan pobres. Y güeno, amigo Pezuela, aunque la cosa vaya mesturada, qué lindura ¿no le parece? poder hablar en cristiano con usté. Me vine a estos pagos madrileños medio engolosinao, y ando por aquí de puro bagual. Campeando un cariño maver si nos acollaramos. Se llama Eugenia la chiruza. Lindazo el nombre, ¿no? Vea, soy un foráneo, amigazo, pero de buena laya. Un gaucho de los de endenantes, de los que pelearon contra usté. De ésos que llevaban en sus venas la sangre que el presidente Sarmiento quería pa regar las pampas, porque él nos odeaba, como odeaba también a los españoles y a todo lo que no juera alemán o inglés, él quería poblar las pampas con ingleses y alemanes pero le falló la cosa, porque al final el país se le enllenó de italianos, turcos y judíos. Gaucho de los de endenantes, mi nombre es Juan, de apelativo Bravo, pero no se me asuste ni recule, ando desmontao, no tengo ni caballo ni facón, apenas un cuchillito moto pa cortar el naco de los vicios. Viera el cebruno que montaba allá en mi tierra, al galopar era una luz prendida. Aquí uno anda pobre y de sotreta, sin jergas ni pellones, sin taculona p’hablar con naides, mesmo que de la cuarta al pértigo, como tristón y envaretao por no poder hallar a la chinita Eugenia. Pero tengo un entripao con usté mi general Pezuela, y se me hace que usté también lo tiene conmigo. Dende chiquito me enseñaron a dispreciarlo, porque usté era de la laya de los enemigos que llamábamos godos. Usté no nos quería libres y tuvimos que correrlo del pago a chuzazo limpio, y aura que la lluvia y el tiempo nos han acollarao no sé cómo pedirle las disculpas, seguro que usté durante todo el tiempo que pasó dende entonces anda juntando herrumbre, no como estatua, claro, le estoy hablando al hombre. Soy persona pacífica, como endenantes le dije, ando por estos pagos desmontao y sin facón. Pero si a usté no se le ha ido entoavía la rabia, si quiere peliar, peliemos. Si la ocasión no es güena y le hace frío yo le empriesto mi poncho y no se aflija, que hasta al cuchillito moto se lo empriesto.Yo, amigazo, pa cobrarme tengo de sobra con el cabo ‘e mi rebenque. De no, podemos hablar de pingos. El caballo, compadre, es la única patria de verdá que tuvo el gaucho, porque tuito lo demás ha sido siempre de los que vinieron quién sabe de ánde. En un caballo uno podía ir cambiando de sitio, asigún molestara a los demás con su presencia. Irse campo ajuera, ande lo llevara el viento.¿Compriende, aparcero? A caballo, 47

Do nothing from k selfish ambition or l conceit, but in m humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4Let each of you n look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5[†] o Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, [1] 6[†] p who, though he was in q the form of God, did not count equality with God r a thing to be grasped, [2] 7[†]but s emptied himself, by taking the form of a t servant, [3] u being born in the likeness of men. 8[†]And being found in human form, he humbled himself by v becoming obedient to the point of death, w even death on a cross. 9[†] x Therefore y God has z highly exalted him and bestowed on him a the name that is above every name, 10[†]so that at the name of Jesus b every knee should bow, c in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and d every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is e Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
