equinox and equa-nox

in Nature we know the cycle of shorter nights and longer nights-- as the length changes we reach a point when the length of night is EQUAL to the length of daytime. this occurs on different dates in different cities i call this event "natural equa-nox" [to distinguish from "equinox" which means something else and is correctly spelled with letter "i" and is usually taught as september 21] for me the letters "equa" in "natural equa-nox" represent the equal lengths of night and day.
I begin the list first with a location "very north from equator" and near the artificial dateline:
named: City of Shishmaref, Alaska, USA  because it is very far north and very near the date-line.
we should consider the length of sun-time on date 24, 12 hours plus 3 minutes hence if we think of "equal" then the night-length before it, is the same length. [in contrast the length of the night following it, is less: 12.01 so not "equal"]
in other locations this event occurs on different dates but see end-note, later. other cities in abc order:
canada/ottawa december 25 day-length equals its following night
egypt/cairo [one of the most populous cities in the entire nile continent] date december 27, has day length 12 hours
israel/jerusalem, december 26, day-length equals its following night. similarly china/beijing december 26 day-length 12 hours and following night has length nearest in length.
south-africa/johannesburg december 18.
sri-lanka/colombo the natural eqau-nox is not until october 10 when night length is 12 hours and day length equal.
*note; near the equator is very different because near the equator almost the whole year is "exactly 12 hour days" with only a few minutes difference.

one combination for a game

although in past posts i described a game which adjusts the framework of "axis and alies" 1984=the one with the cool shaped pieces, there is another interesting combination. some details are the same as in that game but many need to be fixed like real war. for example when the soviets retreated they destroyed the stuff so the capturing forces would not get similarly the "money" of production potetntial should not be at the time of capturing but only at the start of the turn the places still controlled and buy immediately and the prices of that gam are good rifle 3 and tank 5 etc. except no battleships also the "probability' of dice and values i accept except bettleship so if soviets 14 they can buy build 4 rifles not the number i wrote below which is not realistoic jsut as a combination to comapre but those details price rate and probability seem good but the map and geography and potential i have tried to fix also the order should be objecuytive see below..
setting up
1 as the places see sun rise from coast of "whitney mountain region" long so marked "w.m." and westward which see sun rise later- that region has 2 RIFLE and one Plane. its pp=production potential same as fuji m.r. eight 8 pp. [in contrast to mississippi r.r. m.r. same as main river region ten pp.] its coast one transport marker which includes the few battleships there which are too few to deserve a marker. consider the game a-a if japan with twelve ba. only got 2 markers in game mentioned then each marker 6 so states not enuf for marker.
so only tr. there. north of it british yukon r.r. named b-yukon r.r. empty with pp1. states=s-yujon r.r. pp1 with one rifle.
this concludes the mississippi continent because the time represented in this combo is DECEMBER 10, year 1941 so then mexico and brazil were nutral until 1944 or later.
the transport needs to travel two steps to reach "loa" m.r. same as ship from tokyo to midway atoll. this corrects  the unfair marking in the game mentioned because truly far and too far away to reach "wake" island.
the only submarine markers are 2 for nazi and one for soviets. see below even japan which is the only one which deserves a marker for battleships does not get any marker for battleships. setup does not include the "units" for production potential. instead at the start of each turn that moment the pp is given and spent together and almost no "money" is out of the "bank" piles.
loa m.r. has one rifle=r and one aircraft carrier with p on it. midway atoll has one r.
2 japan setup i will fioll in later but japans "turn" was to attack hawaii and altho i protested this choice in previous posts still in this combination begin the cycle by announcing "japan used its turn to attack loa m.r."
start of play the order would be japan first however since the date represented is december tenth beging play by announcing as above "japans turn was attacking loa m.r. and second is soviets.
the first phase of soviets is now get pp.
correcting the a-a- game and also previous suggestions soviets should get 14pp.
because one region muscva r.r. industruailized pp8 and ob rr pp2 and s-amur r.r. 1 each area of australie besides not on map north russia pp-zero.
soviet itself is almost empty ice so 8+2+1=11 plus potential from china conditionally because nearby. the troop movements in china are the trune of soviets and the pp is conditional se below.
the playing begins by announcing "japan was first its turn was to attack loa m-r as above and second is soviet
soviet gets 8+2+1+2+1=14. in this combination they could build two tanks 6 units each or seven RIFLES each 2 units so 2*7.
in thsi combination soviets build 7 cheap rifles. spend all 14 pp.
desperate to protect capital city no battles in east. to simplify no "technology development only first phase get money and with it spend to build but do not place until built at end of turn and only in capital city so no factory marker uunless built in other region for price of bomber 16 units.
attack phase in this combination soviet will use its two p. and t and 3r in muscva r-r to attack neighbor adjacent dnepr r-r.
units rifle=r, tank=t, plane=p. bomber=b. transport=tr submarine=s. aircraft carrier=a. no ba as above.
defender is balanced 3r face 3r amd t faces t but 2p soviet ounumber nazi p in dnepr r-r.
muscva r-r is from caspian sea to north coast including baltic coast in one region area of australia. 7.7 million square kilometers and moscow near dneiper river as above adjacent fixing unjust game more regions and unjustly more rifles because truly balanced so 3r+ for each. and nazi one plane facing 2p of soviets.
first attack from east part china? rifle not likely to succeed and weaker offense like a-a game attack 1/6 but defend 2/6 so better to save for defence than risk the better defense of japs so no attack in east neaithr chang r-r nor amur r-r/
attack nazis as above
then land planes and regroup as described tomoro.
to be continued.

who should i be loyal to?

i recently saw a tv show from disney [used and copyrighted] "pals before gals" that is a great rhyme instead of ho-s which implies they are after money... sadly true but bad to generalize
other parallels which i like for buddies are "matee before lady" and "adams before madams" the others could be good but do not rhyme and rhyme is better. i do not know what is better for a gal? her gal or her bo? hos before bo's? but for guys certainly good advice.
so why is that phrase good advice? because girl-friends will not last but boys are far more forgiving if you apologize then girls... sad but true you want a friendship to last? pals before gals... you know? you will separate from the manipultive gal soon enuf...
problem i cannot find which series used it except "amazing world of gumball' but i did not see that series and did hear the quote.... or heard soathing similar.

the pi-rets

the pi-rets
1 the battle
my name is Sper. my parents always told me that pirates were bad, bkuz they steal and take the things being sent by ship and worse- kill the defenders. however i wanted the excitement and i always hoped that one day i would be the one leading a group of brave men and women to take the riches from the rich. it would be exciting and the rich do not really need it anyway.
So here i was on the tenth of september, on a ship with sails raised and passing the great port of gibraltor at a great distance. We were sailing towards the rising sun and we could barely see the rocky coast. i thought it was to our starboard side [which hand is right? that port was north, so whatever... it seemed stupid calling it starboard it should be called port bkuz the port is to the north] I had been outvoted by my partners who wanted to chase the spanish warship and we were nearing it, with cannons ready for battle. i recalled that all the stories which i heard had a pirate captain and then the crew must do all the things that the captain said. sometimes the crew did a "mutiny" and removed the captain so i had a solution based on the name "pi-rates" which sounds like the letter "pi" in greek there would be 3 leaders so the crew would trust us. yes i found 2 more partners who agreed that we would vote to make decisions and under us would be the crew of 14 crew for the jobs of the ship and to attack ships. like 3-point-14 "pi".
now my idea was in my detriment as they had voted to attack a warship with trained gunners and which was not carrying cargo. sometimes the majority is wrong. dangerously wrong. as we neared its aft i was scared that they saw us. but kept silent. suddenly the spanish warship seemed fatter and wider- it was turning... instead of the narrow aft which we were following i could see it was turning and appeared wider so i knew they certainly saw us and our black pi-rit flag.  my partners named "Boor and Quin" were busy preparing for the attack. they felt that in the long term if we destroyed worships oops warships then it would be easier to take the rich ones. boor [his first name and not burr] was inspecting the crew preparing the cannons while quin was calculating the distance and guiding my precise steering. at the right moment quin called me to turn port- so i turned toward the port which as above was to our north. and spun the wheel so that we turned towards the port. i knew this action would pull ropes which would turn the rudder. soon our side cannons faced the long side of the warship with its many cannons in two rows. one row in the sides and another row on the deck's edge.our ship shook and rocked dangerously backward as all the cannons on one side of our deck fired. i cringed expecting the warship to shoot but they did not. we continued sailing parallel for a few seconds towards north toward the port. something unexpected then happened. i saw an almost perfect row of splashes indicating the cannon balls had landed in the water  we had been too far away and the warship soldiers had known the range and that is why they did not shoot yet a few seconds later orange flames burst from the side of the warship... wow! the cannonballs had hit below the water line not only ripping a hole in the wooden side but exploding inside the fire spread upward and almost the entire side was burning. yes my partners were surprisingly accurate in the amount of powder and range.
i relaxed and thought back to my youth. then i had prepared a list of names to choose for myself when i would become a pirate. in the end i changed my name from the gross name which my parents chose, to the name "Sper", as my pi-rit name. some of our crew also changed their names and the ones they chose were: rasin, trur, hossir ajin, ressir. the other 9 kept their birth names. in the coure of battles two more of the crew had died and thir rplacements chose from my list the last 2: senob, repob [a b at the end] i remembered and hated that my parents were poor.
ma always complained that she wanted new clothes but the money which pa brought from his job at the clothing factory was for paying the needs such as the home and food and similar urgent things.
i would complain that we should just take stuff but pa said that was evil. well being good we only suffered.
i mean what did he think? if he obeyed the law the police would reward him?? certainly not. that was not the way i wanted to be. pa would go to the factory early in the morning and ma would give me soup for breakfast. mostly water and then walk me to the small school. it was the anglican christian school in my small town in west britain. they forced us to learn many languages like welsh and english. we had to read the holy book.
we also needed to learn writing and that was very hard for me- hard to hold the long wooden marker and shape the letters. i was mildly annoyed that i needed to write i mean consider i only need to write because the school made me learn it and then the teachers would read the things i wrote but after completing school nobody would ever read anything i would write anyway! so i did not want to bother but one kid who said "no" to a teacher got punished when a teacher beat him... that was the same as a pi-rit so why do they "pretend" they are "good" and against pirates when they are the same violent and forcing us to do everything the way the wanted and decided.
2 my first good idea which was adopted
as a compromise i said to the teacher when we write for tests we should just mark beside the correct answer in choices instead of writing the answer. the teacher agreed for many of the subjects since he said that would save time if the choices of answers were already on the coarse paper. so only the specific subject of writing we needed to write but bible and math and other subjects we would simply circle around the number with the answer from the available answers- if the student knew then he would mark the correct one and if he did not listen, like myself, at least one of them would certainly be correct and i could choose one that felt better than the others.
my pa worked many hours at the factory. one summer day when i did not need to listen at skool i went with him to the hot factory. the windows were near the tall ceiling and open. my father stood in section "b". after the first team wove the cloth somehow, he would receive the cloth with it rows of threads. team b then cut the woven cloth into shapes . i complained because i felt most of the cloth was being wasted, but pa warned that he would slap me if i would not be silent and that reminded me of the one time he had slapped me in my shoulder. it stung so bad since then i always did what he said at least until i was bigger then i would defend myself from that "good holy" cruel man and he would feel pain. he would regret hitting a future pi-rit.
next a tall man with dark skin carried the shapes of cloth to the third team who slowly stitched the shapes together into the clothes. i never wanted to return to that hot smelly factory again. even after just one hour i felt i could not continue this suffering. at the time i thought that this explained why pa was so very grouchy every day after suffering in the factory for ten hours. that is why I MUST be a pi-rit! just take stuff- this factory situation is not an option!
ma would always walk me to school and then stay to teach the bible class. my teacher was so bad he made each student read and when we made a mistake reading he hollered at us. but ma taught her students by her telling the summary of the story in her own words. the school headmaster liked her way best but my teacher was so stubborn.
3 my second recognized suggestion
finally i reached age ten and every morning i joined my father in the factory.
i would gather the cloth after my pa's crew cut the shapes and carry the remains to the giant door. there the remains were sold to the poor tailors, i complained to my foreman that some pieces were large enuf to cut some of the shapes from them. he liked my idea and together we drew pictures of how to plan the different shapes to use almost all of the woven cloth.
we brought the drawings to the factory manager. at first the manager did not want to change anything but when i said the idea of "less time weaving" per day because more of each piece would be used, then the manager accepted our idea.
from the next day my  foreman instructed my father and his crew the new manner of cutting the shapes from the same woven cloth. the instruction took time and the pile of woven cloth began to grow to a high pile. the manager told that team of the loom device to stop just for one hour. as the same number of shapes were cut from fewer woven cloths, the pile of woven sheets was not shrinking as fast. the manager looked very -very -happy that our idea was even better than he had expected and he gave my foreman and myself a rare sweet as a reward like sweet sugary bread. then the manager instructed the loom crew to work for only one more hour and then go home.
after that one unique special event all the other days were repetitive and boring. the main difference for me was from then we carried lighter piles of woven cloth to carry top the giant doors after my pa's team cut the shapes for sewing and stitching. also i was now walking much fewer times from the cut section to the door. each hour instead of clearing a pile of remains fifty times, now the pile only grew around ten times per hour. my foremen was promoted to a different job.
the days passed with a boredom i would call "tedious." which means boring but sounds more boring than boring. each day was the same and i dreamt ahead for the day iu would simply take what i needed.
the exception was in the winter when the walk to the factory was very cold and the heat inside was lovely because they closed almost all the windows and magically the heat from the bodies was enough. so the years passed. i was mildly annoyed that the money i earned bought ma's clothing she always wanted more so greedy while pa almost never bought new clothes only new shoes each winter. pa's pay paid for the home.
4 my first act of evil piracy
 every year the owner wanted more money for the home. he would come in a fancy "carriage" each month to collect the rent money fee and each autumn would warn that the following months wemust pay more an increased amount. when i was age 15 i argued that the building was OLD and now one year older than the previous year so the price should be worth less! not increasing the rent money but decreasing because the building was a year older. the owner was furious and said you must pay more or leave! pa agreed to the new price but i felt that now was the best time to be a pi-rit.
 i followed the owner called a landlord out and jumped onto his wagon's back. i rode along to his home. the wagon entered a large gate and rode around a curved stone path for almost quarter hour from the gate to the huge building of the house. it was like a mansion building. this guy did not need the extra money which he demanded from my poor family he was being terribly greedy and would be the best victim of piracy.
as he climbed down from the wagon to the path i jumped from the back of the wagon and began pounding the rich guy with my fists. he was screaming in pain and his shouting scared the horses who pulled the wagon and its driver away.
guards by the door of the mansion hurried down the steps but i shouted "stand back or i will  strangle your boss." the guards stopped and stood. i snapped the mean landlords neck and pretended to strangle him. i yelled "lay down your swords and go inside and lock the door." they obeyed me and i took a sword and cut the head from the dead corpse. then i opened the guys bag to put the head in but saw many coins in the bag. also paper money. 
well i did not want that to get dirty so i threw the head into the bushes and dragged the body into the bushes near the mansion. just in time as the wagon returned to the door of the mansion. i paid the driver a coin to take me near the factory. there i buried most of the coins. i hid the paper money in my clothes and walked home. i hid the paper money in my straw mattress.

fixing hebrew letters

many years ago i thought that the shape of hebrew letters was importnat and having found  a source which gathered traditions with evidence of the shapes i wanted to comper the sources but... we have many "fonts" for english so the ancient shape is not important as lond as it is simialr and readable.
we ned to stidy allpossible characters to identify the words but the truth is some words are "homo-phonic" mening the sound the same and should have the same letters. and same as emglish the same word can have many menings
so i suggest to edit each hebrew word assumingthere is a boook worth presrving and simplifying it to have the minimumu letters.
tradition groups letters by th epart of the mouth making the sound like "bmp" all push lips togetyher for all 3 letters
first rename
alf instead of modern hebrew name because like first letter of greek alpha and later fix order
bet same like beta but then fix: gam. del.heh.vav.zet,hhet,x,yed,x,lem,ma,na, xx, next "pe" same good
zzet [like sound in piZZa] kap, ro, sig, tet. total instead of 22 needed now to learn shapes which change when last letter remove doubles and remain eighteen 18 or "et'in shapes and never change shape and simply know meaning by story arroound same as english words have more than one meaning for example spell the same " row" =tur" =other same sound should fix same leters no need for extra shapes and vowels sounds see previous posts.

fixing biblical hebrew

assume the contents of the bible are good.
one detail preserved in the bible is the lettter "I" preserved in a manner that shows the true pronunciation was like the vowel sound in "bEAd" for example the letter "I" written for feminine and other uses where the name place is spelled both with the letter "I" and the letter" ' " called yowd.
pniel is spelled both with yowd and with " I "  preserving the sound altho most of those books are not worth preserving for many reasons see other posts.
we may split the sounds into vowels like "ay" and consinents like "b"
a good system to arrange the order of the vowels- which do not appear in the written bibles but were preserved in "leningrad" codex and other ancient writings from yemen- can be from simple dot to multi-dot.
the first in this order is one single dot.
hebrew uses two such symbols so they are in one group and the order will be by position
FIRST one single dot near the TOP of the letter is a vowel. in this context of bible we DO have a preservation in josephus the only word he preserved using the greek letter omicron which is vowel sound in "sOft" from the choices of omicron and omega he preserved omicron so only modern hebrew is omega sound like "bOAt" not the tradition and not the bible and i know that rabbis teach... both of the rabbis sounds are wrong and refuted by evidence.
we know the ancient greek sound from colliers encyclopedia [1960's] preserving the ancient sounds of greek characters. and josephus preserved the sound with omicron that is the evidence and anything else including omega which he could use but did not is not real hebrew.
admittedly modern hebrew is different from the biblical hebrew in many ways including vowels.
other marks symbols have the SAME SOUND and this should get fixed as below we can identify: the letter "vav" is added with that single dot near the top of the letter then the letter is silent and the sound is vowel "sOft" as above because the dot is over letter. also the hebrew word for boat is marked with a symbol like "a plus with colon" since it is the first letter of the word pronunciation is same sound which is NOT the vowel of "bOAT" for the word boat but is the pronunciation of the vowel in "sOft". this refutes at least 2 details of how rabbis teach  also if the words are worth preserving then we SHOULD simplify ONE symbol for this sound and remove the silent "I" which is silent anyway. similarly the hebrew word for boat could be marked with the dot above and we should fix such and never need to see the other symbols from this sound group because they are the same sound especialy when read quickly. it only makes more symbols to learn which is against the jewish tradition to "teach briefly" so have one symbol allows teaching less total symbols. i will not preserve what is known to be wrong and hopefully the rabbis will FIX the many errors related to this evidence.
SECOND one single dot under the letter. sound like vowel in "bEAd" or "bEE".evidence shows that the shape of vav shaped " I" and a dot near center is same sound and perhaps also the same sound for the diagonal 3 as preserved by some jews. maybe. but now we are in the group of one dot.
so one dot over is in biblical contaxt like the vowel in "sOft" that is tradition and below a different sound "ee" as explained and this is second in group because of next group.
group 2
THIRD a pair of dots under the letter. which? i prefer colon shape 3. considering it means "only the letter" with zero=no vowel- this should not even appear. same as the last letter in the word has no vowel mark also the first letter for example "ntanya" no need for a vowel with the first letter we hear the letter fine. so a "nu" with a colon below it is only the sound of the letter "n' with zero vowel just sound with the letter which follows like "nta" or english block. the first vowel needs no vowel nor mark. and we should not even see nor need to learn this symbol except the bad decision to publish with it needs to learn and that it means "null" as above and this should be fixed.
FOURTH a pair of dots but instead of vertical pair like colon shape as above ":" this pair is a horizontal pair.
this has been preserved in the only ancient word which josephus preserved the sound is vowel in "hEld" and i know that both moder hebrew and as well as rabbis differ but this is PRESERVED and this is the tradition for the bible. sad that rabbis refuse to fix known errors so i publish to fix. so when you go to israel and speak hebreww know modern hebrew differs- except this one israelis say it so fast that the teaching book groups the horizontal pair like "hEld" yay!
FIFTH after a group of single dots [over or under] and 2 pairs [horizontal or like colon ":" but both under the letter] the next group is three dots.
which? a diagonal of 3 dots is fifth. what sound deos it preserve? that is in doubt.  perhaps it is the vowel of "bOOt" or as some jews preserve it same as the vowel of a single dot under the letter and considering this sound already has a mark perhaps it is a different sound yet we know that there are extra letters so it seems best to simplify never use the diagganl 3 and since it is in doubt whether it is same as "ee" or same as "oo" be passive and not preserve something in doubt so only in modern hebrew the vowel in "bOOt" which cannot be used in newspapers with no dots! so they use "I" which in modern hebrew is the vowel of "bOOt" however we are trying to preservee thae tradition so we must simplify and and make it null because the jews did nt preserve this and jospehus only preserved one word.
SICTH the next symbol in this group is shaped "three dots grouped like electric outlets" or the two horizontal of the 3 have a third centered under them. the sound is the same as the line [refuting my previous order but i  admit my mistake and have fixed and so should others] traditionally biblical hebrew had a sound for words with  this symbol as the vowel in "pA" or the a in "father" almost lost in english unless we will change the word "amen" to the vowel in "pA". the same vowel sound as the vowel in "bOb" and ancient texts preserve that such words never had the 3-dot symbol but were read the sound of "pA" as explained so after we know that the sound is preserved in the following we group we should FIX and simplify never even seeing the "3-dot" neither this "added symbol which changed the traditional reading as proven from ancient texts nor the diagonal 3 dots which evidenc leaves conflict. so this group should be removed never see a 3 dot symbol for the resons explained this must be fixed because it changed the traditional way of reading the ancient words.
seventh he last symbol is pronounced with "open" mouth like the vowel in "pA" or the a in "father'' this sound is almost lost from english yet it is the most common sound in traditional hebrew. so i need to preserve it.
the rabbi named solomon rashi preserved that the word with a different symbol is "open" mouth same a sthe a in "father and this matches modern hebrew and to simplify we should remove the other "undifferent" symbol  so when we see the "plus" we identify it as solomon preserved in year 1050 as open mouth like a in "father" which is almost lost in english because we only sound apple or bay for the latter a.
to make learniung diffficult jews at least 1000 years ago added a colon to the "_" symbol and this is useful in signifying fast but not needed and altho logic would say "plus shape + with colon shape:" should be a fast  a of "father that is not how the vowels are grouped and since both types of + symbols are extar not needed we must fix and simplify the one like "sOft" as above mark with single dot  as above and the one like "_" mark with that symbol "_" to simplify and fix.
in the end we have four sounds and the fifth is in conflict so we do not know which manner to preserve and can remove all 3-dot symbol and only replace the electric socket shaped symbol with the traditinal vowel "_" as in tradition.
so 4 SOUNDS and no need to preserve THIRTEEN symbiols for just 4 ort 5 sounds.
next fix name of letters but no time!

fat children

the size of the clothes alone does not indicate fat even the children size "xl" does not mean "extar fat" only means the age 14 years because adult size begins 35 waist so must have 34 waist only if a younger child needs "l and xl" then it indicates overweight and change habit is important see below. but at the age 14 need a size called xl for that age that is the normal range unless younger because of adult size at 35 must have 34 so that is a needed xl not extra..
in contrast adults "large' is almost always "overweight" in bmi measure so check your bmi. body mass.
 i mistakenly set a goal to lose weight from obese to "large size" when i succeeded i was shocked to find that i was still overweight- despite size large fit- i was so shocked because in children large only means age as above but for adults large means "fatter than average."
normal has a range bmi 25-29 is normal range being in that range is good but being overweight is something to fix and being obese is dangerous.
even after losing enuf weight not to be obese and size "large" fit... was that a victory? yes and hard one yet still, still overweight and that range of overweight can be mildly overweight and very overweight until almost obese so the only way to set a long term goal is not by circumfrenece unless stage one is circumference 42 inch hips and then ready for stage 2 get below overweight bmi. not easy so be careful at ages 14-19 or you will be in trouble later like most americans. who habit with a donut and sugary coffee every morning.
