There are exceptions, we suppose, to almost every rule, and this
particular Friday towards the end of June was such an exception. It was
fine. Not a cloud flecked the sun-lit sky. A glorious blue expanse hung
over a sea almost as blue, but criss-crossed in all directions by the
curling white tops of tiny wavelets, all that remained to remind one of
the atrocious weather which had prevailed. For the North Sea, Europe,
Great Britain, everywhere in fact, had been treated to a succession of
violent gales, to a continuous deluge of rain, to bitter hail, and
squalls of snow in some parts. [more]

☛ 2. Platz im Coverwettbewerb Juli '15 According to Buddhist cosmology rebirth is conditioned by the karmas of previous lives; good karmas will yield a happier rebirth, bad karmas will produce one which is more unhappy. In order to ensure enlightenment, one’s love must be completely pure. "No one just reincarnates into another world. It just doesn't happen.“ ______________________ Nach der buddhistischen Kosmologie wird die Wiedergeburt durch die Karma früherer Leben bedingt; gute Karmas bringen eine glücklichere Wiedergeburt, schlechte Karmas werden eine Unglücklichere produzieren. Um Erleuchtung zu gewährleisten, muss die eigene Liebe völlig rein sein. "Niemand wird einfach in eine andere Welt wiedergeboren. Es passiert einfach nicht." [more]

Dante Alighieri
The Divine Comedy

The Divine Comedy is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri. It is widely considered the pre-eminent work of Italian literature, and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is a culmination of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.
On the surface, the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven; but at a deeper level, it represents allegorically the soul's journey towards God. At this deeper level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas.
The poem is written in the first person, and tells of Dante's journey through the three realms of the dead, lasting from the night before Good Friday to the Wednesday after Easter in the spring of 1300. The Roman poet Virgil guides him through Hell and Purgatory; Beatrice, Dante's ideal woman, guides him through Heaven. Beatrice was a Florentine woman whom he had met in childhood and admired from afar in the mode of the then-fashionable courtly love tradition. [more]

Onika Tanya Maraj (born December 8, 1982),[1][2] better known by her stage name Nicki Minaj (/mɪˈnɑːʒ/), is a Trinidadian-born American[3][4] rapper, singer and songwriter. Born in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago and raised in Jamaica, Queens, New York, Minaj earned public attention after releasing three mixtapes between 2007–2009. She signed a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment in 2009.
Minaj's debut studio album, Pink Friday (2010), peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and spawned the top-three single "Super Bass". During that time, Minaj became the first female solo artist to have seven singles simultaneously charting on the U.S.Billboard Hot 100. Her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), also topped the chart and its lead single, "Starships", peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. Minaj's third studio album, The Pinkprint (2014), was preceded by its second single, "Anaconda", which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and is her highest-charting single in the United States to date. Minaj made her film debut in the 2012 animated film Ice Age: Continental Drift, and also starred in the 2014 film The Other Woman. In 2013, she was a main judge on the twelfth season of American Idol.
Minaj was the first female artist included on MTV's Annual Hottest MC List, with The New York Times saying that some consider her "the most influential female rapper of all time".[5] Her rapping is distinctive for its fast flow and the use of alter egos and accents, primarily British cockney. Minaj's colorful costumes, wigs and clothing have given her recognition as a fashion icon. In April 2013, Minaj became the most-charted female rapper in the history of the Billboard Hot 100. Minaj has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. She has won four American Music Awards, eight BET Awards, two MTV Music Awards, two MTV Europe Music Award, five Billboard Music Awards and Billboard 's 2011 Rising Star award. [more]

On The Night Of Friday, The 26Th Of November, 1703, And At The Hour Of
Eleven, The Door Of A Miserable Habitation, Situated In an Obscure
Quarter Of The Borough Of Southwark, Known As The Old Mint, Was Opened;
And A Man, With A Lantern In His Hand, Appeared At The Threshold. This
Person, Whose Age Might Be About Forty, Was Attired In a Brown
Double-Breasted Frieze Coat, With Very Wide Skirts, And A Very Narrow
Collar; A Light Drugget Waistcoat, With Pockets Reaching To The Knees;
Black Plush Breeches; Grey Worsted Hose; And Shoes With Round Toes,
Wooden Heels, And High Quarters, Fastened By Small Silver Buckles. He
Wore A Three-Cornered Hat, A Sandy-Coloured Scratch Wig, And Had A Thick
Woollen Wrapper Folded Round His Throat. His Clothes Had Evidently Seen
Some Service, And Were Plentifully Begrimed With The Dust Of The
Workshop. Still He Had A Decent Look, And Decidedly The Air Of One
Well-To-Do In The World. In Stature, He Was Short And Stumpy; In Person,
Corpulent; And In countenance, Sleek, Snub-Nosed, And Demure.
Immediately Behind This Individual, Came A Pale, Poverty-Stricken Woman,
Whose Forlorn Aspect Contrasted Strongly With His Plump And Comfortable
Physiognomy. She Was Dressed In a Tattered Black Stuff Gown, Discoloured
By Various Stains, And Intended, It Would Seem, From The Remnants Of
Rusty Crape With Which It Was Here And There Tricked Out, To Represent
The Garb Of Widowhood, And Held In Her Arms A Sleeping Infant, Swathed
In The Folds Of A Linsey-Woolsey Shawl. [more]

Critical Thinking Need Now To Avoid United States Federal Government Shutdown Again.
Government shutdown gears in motion.

Experts agree: A federal government shutdown would be a dumb way to go. The House on Friday will vote on a short-term government funding bill that will include a provision to defund Obamacare.
That provision is a no-go for Senate Democrats and President Obama.
If they can't work out a compromise, many functions of the federal government will be shut down indefinitely on Oct. 1.
Besides causing inconvenience and delays, a shutdown could have larger consequences.
A long, broad shutdown could weaken an already modest economic recovery, Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf said Wednesday.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, meanwhile, noted that "a government shutdown and, perhaps even more so, a failure to raise the debt limit could have very serious consequences for the financial markets and for the economy."
To say nothing of the fact that a shutdown wouldn't come cheap. Federal agencies have to use up time, energy and resources to plan for one. Shutting down, and then reopening the government, also costs money. Two shutdowns in the mid-1990s cost an estimated $1.4 billion, according to the Congressional Research Service.
There's no telling exactly what a shutdown this October would look like because the White House has some discretion in terms of what's hit and what's not. But based on the shutdowns in the mid-1990s, the following is a pretty good bet.
What will be closed for business: Many, if not most, federal government offices, programs, museums and parks would be shuttered.
So if the shutdown lasts awhile, the travel industry could take a hit as vacations and business trips are scuttled -- whether because people can't get a visa or passport or because they have to cancel their plans to visit Yosemite.
For federal contractors, projects may be delayed because the agencies they work for can't issue the paperwork needed to move forward.
And Americans who need something from a federal office affected by the shutdown may be out of luck. [more]

The United States federal government shutdown of 1995 and 1996 was the result of conflicts between Democratic President Bill Clinton and the Congress over funding for Medicare, education, the environment, and public health in the 1996 federal budget.
The government shut down after Clinton vetoed the spending bill the Republican Party-controlled Congress sent him.
The federal government of the United States put non-essential government workers on furlough and suspended non-essential services from November 14 through November 19, 1995 and from December 16, 1995 to January 6, 1996, for a total of 28 days. The major players were President Clinton and Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich.
