Title In English: The Law Of The Cosmos The Divine Harmony According To Plato's Republic – Timeaus The Platonic Riddle Of Numbers Solved Again And Described. This is One of the Ten Greatest Cosmological Masterpieces Ever Written Eberhard Wortmann is the only know modern Magister Ludi to have corresponded with Hermann Hesse, who in appreciation of his brilliant work called him a "Glass Bead Game Player." The Sacred Science Institute is working in conjunction with Wortmann's family to produce English translation of this Masterpiece, segments of which will be posted upon our website as they progress. Wortmann's works contain hundreds of the most sophisticated diagrams on Sacred Geometry, Pythagorean and Platonic Number Theory, Harmonics and Astronomy ever seen, as well as one of the most intricate elaborations of Universal Order and Kosmic Law known to man. The vast and synthetic thinking process presented in these works inspired a correspondence discussing the GBG between Hesse and Wortmann. "Here it should be mentioned that the Platonic riddle of numbers are actually a question of logical games of thought, "Glass Bead Games", as Hermann Hesse, the great writer and man, had named this kind of mental business." The Diagrams Contained in this Masterpiece Are the Most Advanced & Original Geometric/Cosmological/Harmonic/Astronomical Diagrams We Have Ever Seen.

|Zen-Yoga: A Creative Psychotherapy to Self-Integration.
P.J. Saher
1976 Originally, 2002 Edition published by Motilal Banarsidass, India. This book contains a surprise beyond its excellent, highly scientific, mystical instructions. In the back it includes 25 Diagrams by Eberhard Wortmann, the only modern author to be acknowledged by Hermann Hesse as a master of the Glass Bead Game. Surprisingly, there is no reference made or credit given to Wortmann in the book, the diagrams are just mysteriously included, with brief one line descriptions of shocking content value. Wortmann's diagrams are probably the most advanced sacred geometry diagrams ever conceived & all were inspired from Plato's Timeaus/Republic. Since Wortmann's works are all in German, this is the only clue we have in English to his mysterious and superb work! Besides the diagrams, this books presents a spiritual science of meditation and mastery with a scientific basis the like of which we have not seen before, but most closely resembling the initiatory path of Franz Bardon, though focused more on mysticism than magic. Contents: Mind & Thinking; Drifts of the Mind & What They Convey; Do We Think & How?; Must We Sleep & How Much?; Expanding Consciousness; Breathing & Its Relationship To Conscious & Life; Spiritual Planes; Avoidable Mistakes; The Centres (Chakras) & Their Mechanism; Use of Free Will in Trifles; Correct Methods of Daily Living; Progress on the Path; Will-Force; Internal Non-Equilibrium of Centres; How to Restore Equilibrium of Centres; Purpose of Life & Birth; Unpublished Secrets of Zen & Yoga; Pratyahara; Self-Conquest; Laws of Spiritual Success; Liberation from Bondage to Ego; Yoga Sutras; The 60 Secret Steps To Salvation; Mysteries of Higher Grades of Salvation; Practical Exercises; Celestial Influence or Intensities of Celestial Bodies; Neuro-Physiological Basis of our Mind. 25 Wortmann Diagrams!!! Sample Wortmann Captions: Geometrical Structure of Dharmakaya. The "Milky Way" seen as an exact Replica of psycho-astrological Meridian Points in the brain. The brain as pivot of the seven channels leading to it from the Centres-Mandala of the Esoteric Sciences. The principal Three Centres working in cosmic harmony with the Phases of the MOON. The central star as the macrocosmic Centre co-ordinating the micro-cosmic Centres. The anatomical brain reconstructed as a Computer kybernetically co-ordinating the Centres.

The Sacred Science Institute worked in conjunction with Wortmann's family to produce this English translation of his Masterpiece, and will continue to translate his 3 further works, bringing his life work into English for the fist time. Wortmann's works contain hundreds of the most sophisticated diagrams on Sacred Geometry, Pythagorean and Platonic Number Theory, Harmonics and Astronomy ever seen, as well as one of the most intricate elaborations of Universal Order and Cosmic Law known to man. The vast and synthetic thinking process presented in these works inspired a correspondence between Hesse and Wortmann discussing the GBG. "Here it should be mentioned that the Platonic riddle of numbers are actually a question of logical games of thought, "Glass Bead Games", as Hermann Hesse, the great writer and man, had named this kind of mental business."

I'm going back in time a little bit to pick up on an unreported September 5, 2007 decision by a New York state trial court in the case of Whitnum v. Yahoo! [2007 WL 2609825].
Plaintiff Whitnum is the author of the book Hedge Fund Mistress, and also the owner of the website of the same name. Yahoo, who hosted the site, is alleged to have shut down the site for 8 hours on August 19, 2004, which was the same day that the book was mentioned on the front page of the Boston Herald.
Whitnum claimed that this caused her to lose out on $125,000 in revenue, so she sued Yahoo for that amount. Yahoo moved to dismiss, however, citing to its hosting terms of service which provided that it had the right "at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the [hosting] Service." The terms of service also provided, among other things, that Yahoo would not be liable for any indirect or consequential damages resulting from a customer's inability to use the service.
The court granted the motion to dismiss. It rejected Whitnum's arguments that she should be allowed to file an amended complaint alleging intentional conduct or gross negligence, instead finding that her basis for saying that Yahoo may have shut down her account to silence her story about having dated John Kerry was mere speculation.

While they won't do much to salvage that fancy camera, Elecom is trusting that some of us will benefit from their waterproof SDHC cards.
In 4GB and 8GB sizes, the quick Class 6 (6MB/sec) memory cards promise to get wet without losing a whole vacation's worth of shots. (Or, for those who already use waterproof cameras, it could just be another level of protection.) There's no price at this time, but look for the Elecom cards on the international market this month. Importing on this piece of gear won't cause you any compatibility issues. [Elecom via Akihabara News]

Hydraulic fracturing is no stranger to criticism. Better-known as "fracking," the gas-drilling technique has been linked to environmental problems such as groundwater pollution, toxic air emissions and earthquakes, and it's spurring a "golden age" of natural gas that environmentalists worry will dampen demand for renewable energy.
But according to a recent study from Louisiana State University, part of the problem might be the word "fracking" itself. That's not to say semantics are responsible for flammable tap water, but the study does link phrasing to public opinion. In a survey of 731 randomly selected Louisiana residents, researchers found people were less likely to support hydraulic fracturing when they heard it called "fracking." In other words, the study suggests gas companies would benefit from using other words.
"Public aversion to the term likely results from the harsh consonants and perhaps the obvious similarity to a certain other four-letter word," LSU's Michael Climek says in a press release. "And this research shows that the unpleasant sound of the word is at least partially responsible for residents thinking 'fracking' is unsafe and that it should not be pursued by the state of Louisiana. If businesses and legislators use another word or description, constituents may be more willing to support hydraulic fracturing."
Of course, since it's impossible to assess whether hydraulic fracturing is safe based on its name, this is irrelevant from an environmental or public-health perspective. The LSU study is all about marketing, focusing on how to make fracking sound safe rather than actually making it safe. But that's the point of marketing — it's up to engineers and scientists to fix a product; marketers just make products seem cool.
As one marketing executive told American Public Media's Marketplace this week, the problem with "fracking" is that it describes the process a little too honestly. "The root of it is 'fracture,' and that's just not a very positive thing," said David Placek, CEO of Lexicon Branding. "Whether there's a fracture in a political party, or you fracture your arm, it's just nothing but negative connotations." Plus, in addition to evoking a well-known English expletive, Placek points out that "frack" is also similar to "frak," a made-up curse word from the TV show "Battlestar Galactica."
Among the survey respondents who heard the word "fracking," 35 percent called the process "somewhat safe" or "very safe," and 39 percent said Louisiana should encourage it. When the word wasn't used, those numbers grew to 43 and 52 percent, respectively. Instead of "fracking," the latter group heard only this description: "a way to extract natural gas that involves using a high-pressure injection of water, sand and chemicals to remove natural gas from rocks deep in the Earth's surface."
That phrasing may be less provocative, but it's still a mouthful. So, in the spirit of catchphrase marketing, we came up with a few alternatives that sound safer and more marketable. Let us know what you think in the poll above or in the comments below — but don't forget to watch your fracking language.

Beijing's secret subterranean city
Meters beneath Beijing's hectic streets, a warren of bomb shelters extends citywide, dug at the height of nuclear paranoia in the 1970s.
Home to sewer rats, damp and more recently, migrant workers, they're fast being filled in and forgotten. Seizing what might be the last chance to see the tunnels, a friend and I don flip-flops and a flashlight for a final descent.
"You're in luck -- he's drunk". Dominic Johnson-Hill reaches over the sprawled, snoring body of the building warden and snatches a flashlight from the cluttered desk.
We're in Nanluogu Xiang, a gentrified neighborhood of grey-brick alleyways north of the Forbidden City.
Johnson-Hill, owner of nearby design store Plastered T-Shirts and self-styled steward of this tunnel entrance, has been inside 30 or 40 times. "It's like a secret world, with so much to discover, it became an addiction," he confesses.
An arched, hospital-white corridor runs steadily downwards. It's full of junk. Old tables piled with rotting vegetables, beer crates, an iron-framed bed, recently slept in.
The door, wedged open, is lead-lined and about 20 centimeters thick.
"We're beneath a government building, so the tunnels go deeper, and the construction is better," says Johnson-Hill. "These would have belonged to a senior official."
Some way along a side tunnel, two bare, concrete rooms face each other: sleeping quarters and a smaller office housing a single desk thick with mold.
Above, an escape hatch is tunneled into the ceiling, a rusty iron ladder poking down. The air is chilly and damp.
Underground escape
Though reliable details are scarce, Beijing's "underground city" was claimed to cover around 80 square kilometers, dug by many thousands of conscripted civilians at the height of tensions with Soviet Russia.
The plan was that most of central Beijing's inhabitants could scurry underground within minutes of an attack, and stay there safely for weeks if necessary.
Wang, a Nanluogu Xiang resident, remembers it well. "I was about 15 when the tunnels were built. They were dug in a hurry and entrances started popping up around our neighborhood. Most of us weren't allowed in, and we had a lot on our minds in those days so people soon forgot about them."
But as recently as 2007, the tunnels were a tourist attraction of sorts. Visitors could take in a broad loop of musty tunnels southeast of Tiananmen Square.
Famously hard to find, I sought them out in early 2008 only to discover a note pinned on a door: "Closed until further notice."
It still is. Greg Savarese, a coffee entrepreneur from the United States, managed to see the tunnels on a visit in 2004.
"We searched for ages and eventually found some soldiers who unlocked a door and took us below ground -- we walked for about an hour and saw a school, a hospital, street signs on the walls -- even a movie theater," he says.
Splashing through ankle-deep puddles, Johnson-Hill points out a faded Mao inscription on the wall: "Dig deep, store grain, don't claim to be an emperor."
Nearby, a dog-eared map hints at the scale of the surrounding network, revealing dozens of rooms, corridors, storage areas and access tunnels.
But we can't go any further. The tunnel is bricked up.
"The first time I was down here it was a much bigger place -- over 600 meters of tunnels, some wide enough to take a car," reports Johnson-Hill.
So what happened?
"Either they were destroyed by the subway network or sealed for security reasons," he says. "I remember you could literally emerge from the tunnels and pop your head into someone's beautiful old courtyard home."
Safety first
David Eimer, author of Lonely Planet Beijing, told me the reason the tunnels are being trashed is because of urban redevelopment. "Newer, bigger buildings require deeper foundations, so many of the tunnels have to be filled in for safety reasons."
Back on the surface, a pile of bricks has been deposited outside the building entrance. Two workers begin carrying them down into the tunnel we've just emerged from.
A day later Johnson-Hill reports that two more side tunnels have been sealed up.
It's the same story a short distance away in Fangjia Hutong.
For several months last year I'd been taking friends down a staircase beside a restaurant on the site of an old factory. It led to a warren of low-ceilinged, pitch-black tunnels, descending deeper and deeper until completely filled with water.
Now it too is closed.
Eventually, all traces of this paranoid precinct will be buried, and not just because of new subway lines or high-rise development.
The space beneath Beijing is increasingly seen as a means of easing the strain on a city overloaded with people and traffic.
The state-run China Daily reported in 2010 that city planners have earmarked three underground levels to be built beneath Dongcheng district, housing shopping malls and roads.
Should this happen, I wonder if future subterranean Beijingers, browsing rails of designer clothing, will feel any echo of the chilling "underground city" that once existed in its place.

How to Use the "Spike" in Word 2010
Share Printer Friendly
Text Size: A A A A
One feature of Microsoft Word that a lot of people don't know about, is something called the Spike; it's a way of collecting text onto a virtual spike from various sources, and then pasting it all at once into a document you specify.
To see how the Spike works, start with an open empty document, then add some dummy text, like this:
Then, highlight some text, like this:
…then press Ctrl-F3 on your keyboard to move the stuff you've selected, to the spike.
If you press the Enter key, the contents of your Spike will be copied to the current location in your document.
This shows that the Spike is actually nothing more than another use of Word's QuickParts feature.

13 Things About Political Parties in the United States
We had analyzed the Articles of Confederation and determined why they didn't work, we had eavesdropped on the Constitutional Convention and pondered The Strength of the Triangle, we celebrated with the rest of 18th century America as George Washington was inaugurated as the first president under the Constitution, and we had discussed the formation of political parties due to a huge difference of opinion between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
This is usually a hard unit to teach with nine year old children, but not this year. Things were going great. Kids seemed to understand the three branches of government. Their performance pieces (mainly reflective writing) were on target. Then of course….the other shoe dropped.
Have you ever run a race, crossed the finish line, and then discovered you had to go back to the starting block? Even having to go halfway back can be a little disturbing.
One day towards the end of our formation of the U.S. government race Mr. Right-on-Target, Brainy Boy, Always-Gets-It Kid seriously said to me during class, "Hey, Elementaryhistoryteacher…is this a political party?"
I looked down to where he was pointing. His text was open and he was pointing to the image I've posted here. The image represents George Washington's inauguration.
Let me explain what happened another way. One of MY students was pointing to an image in the text that contained a caption explaining the picture was the inauguration of George Washington, and I was being asked if the image was a political "party".
I let out my biggest Charlie Brown cry of disbelief, "ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Sweetie," I asked, "do you mean a party like cake, ice cream, and a pinata?"
Mr. Right-on-Target, etc., etc., etc. said, "Yeah, like with a clown, paper hats and streamers."
Oh my gosh…..had we…er….I….missed the mark somewhere. We cleared up the misunderstanding straight away, and had a refresher course on multiple-meaning words, but it just goes to show you that often students are confused. They don't always speak up, and it doesn't always come out in their work.
So here are 13 factoids about political parties in the United States:
1. Political parties are not mentioned in the Constitution and are not required in our political system.
2. There are no laws that dictate how many political parties we may have though our current ballot access laws and leadership rules in Congress pretty much limit us to two parties…….third parties just don't seem to make it for long.
3. Parties ARE regulated by the constitutions of the individual states since they regulate state and federal elections.
4. Even though delegates to the Constitutional Convention decided the Articles of Confederation would not work because too much power was given to the states, the whole states versus federal government issue was still very much an issue even after the Constitution was ratified.
5. Thomas Jefferson, Washington's Secretary of State, wanted a federal government with limited powers. He did not want the federal government taking away states' rights. Jefferson also felt the future of the infant nation would grow on the back of her farmers. .
6. Washington's Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, preferred a strong federal government and strongly believed that the future of the United States would be based on trade and manufacturing.
7. Both Jefferson and Hamilton, of course, were men with very strong personalities and leadership skills. It was only natural for people to side with one or the other.
8. A political party is a group of people who share similar ideas about government. It seems almost inevitable that political parties would form in the infant United States. Anytime you have a group of people meet up the eventually sort themselves in some way. While some travel back and forth between a few of the groups there are always groups of one type or another.
9. People who supported Jefferson's ideas formed the Democratic-Republican Party. No joke…..even my students could tell me the irony in that particular name based on the current political climate in the United States. As one young lady stated, "We ain't so united anymore, are we Elementaryhistoryteacher?"
10. Folks who liked Hamilton's ideas about manufacturing, trade, and a strong federal government formed the Federalist party.
11. George Washington heavily advised against the formation of political parties because he said they divided people instead of bringing them together. Can I hear an amen on that?
12. Even though George Washington often received conflicting advice from Jefferson and Hamilton the two political factions did manage to compromise on the building of a federal city we now know as Washington D.C., however Jefferson and Hamilton argued fiercely over the formation of a national bank. Hamilton wanted it, and Washington finally agreed with him.
13. Over the years we have had some political parties with very interesting names that often intrigue students such as the Nullifier Party (1830-1839), the Whig Party (1832-1856), The American Party commonly referred to as the "Know-Nothings" (1854-1858), and Anti-Monopoly Party (1884). Students learn very quickly the Anti-Monopoly Party has nothing to do with the Parker Brothers game of real estate. There are also some real humdingers in the mix as well…….the Communist League of America (1928-1934), the Vegetarian Party (1948-1964), the Looking Back Party (1984-1996), and I could never leave out the Progressive Party known to some as the "Bull Moose Party" of Teddy Roosevelt fame (1912-1914).

Very good posting.
Thank you - Have a good day!!!

Awesome list. It's a shame that most adults don't know the information you provide. And that little girl was spot on -- we really ain't so united. :(
I'm Canadian - so this post was very educational for me.
- The Tour Marm said...
It's a great post.
Your illustration interests me. I think the building pictured is St. Paul's Chapel (President Washington's parish church) rather than Federal Hall which is right smack dab in the middle of Wall Street. The church down Broadway that you can see at the intersection of Wall, is Trinity Church, which was being rebuilt at the time of his first inauguration. I believe Federal Hall was of brick.
I don't have the time to do any research now; I have a plane to catch in a couple of hours. Perhaps someone else can - or I shall be there on the 18th and can find out in person!
I'm going to miss you!

Great list. Some great points!
Check out my TT
- Marie said...
wow!!! those are great and informative list this week! thanks for sharing. i do really learn something new everyday! great idea for this week's T13.
- Robin said...
Too funny about the party.
Here in Israel we have a myriad of constantly changing political parties. It's a disaster.
- Jane said...
Loved the "party" story. Kids are very literal aren't they?
I found your list extremely informative. I was not aware of some of this. You are never too old to learn (or re-learn) new things!
Thanks for dropping by my T13 and for commenting.
I enjoyed this list. I freelance history articles aimed at students at the 8th to 9th grade level. It's challenging to explain complex events in ways that they will understand. I'm not sure how I'd manage it with 9 year olds even though that is about the age of my boys.
Happy TT day!
- Alasandra, The Cats and Dogs said...
Wonderful TT, I often use your post to make sure I covered everything on a certain topic they are always so informative.
- Raggedy said...
I always learn something here.
LOL at the two meanings of the word party. I am sure at nine party would have only held that one meaning.
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
My TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT'ing!
I loved the party nickname "Know Nothings". I can think of a few parties that would qualify to share that name here in Canada.
- Mama Duck said...
Ooooo, what a great idea and so informative! Happy TT!

Amazing the things we forget once we're out of school!
"Do you see them drinking coctails and eating potato chips????" That's what I would have asked my students! I try to anticipate when multiple meanings of a word can get in the way of student understanding. And that is one I have dealt with. When I introduce the term "political party" I always say "political party....hmmm that must be when..." Then I look at them funny until someone finally corrects ME! Humor can be a fun way to adress thes multiple meanings. Thanks for posting this. I plan to share it tith my students. -Bob J.
