compare russia length to china's (and u.s.)

compare russia length to china's (and u.s.)
as the year 2021 is ending, very soon, the number will increase to 2022,  new year will begin at 12am in each time zone. russia has many time zones so when we see a map of china, on the FAT part of the globe, and compare russia [on thinner part] to china, then russia certainly SEEMS much longer, on some maps it SEEMS double length and on time zone maps from east tip we can count 7 time zones compared to only one in china but truly the difference is much less. so how much? in terms of time zones we take 360 degrees of sphere and have 24 time zones each zone is 15 degrees of sphere. from the east point of russia which is narrow at 169 west, westward to 180 and to st. petersberg at 30 east that is MANY degrees of thin time zones. 11+150=161 enough for 11 eleven narrow time zones. 
each point 15 degrees apart COULD start the new yearr one hour later despite the solar cycle in 2 more days "birth of added light" in the majority land for you humans that need land and light but have difficulty in water and darkness, for those reasons land and light cause the date called december 23 so i need to add a day to the twelfth month to start 1/1 with the solar cycle]
russia's length of eleven NARROW time zones in contrast to u.s. "only" FOUR fat time zones of 55 degrees, kuz boston 71 until cape alava on west at 125=55 degrees is not truly double. i am not denying russia is longer than CHINA i just want to FIX  the misconception: by how much longer?
china length is 4200 kilometer [as explained later] while russia from east tip to saint peterberg along the thin part of globe is 4800 kilometrs. in fact at that latitude of the thin part of the globe 66 degreees north the circumference is 10,681 km and from there to 30 degrees east only 4776 km, and since s.p. is s.w. the hypotenuse is 4800 km very far from double china's 4200. that russian hypotenuse from the tip to the baltic coast, is only 6% longer than the hypotenuse in u.s. at worldatlas website miles that are 4500 km. 
if russia would accept the greenwich lines then moscow and s.p. would be an additional time zone beside volgograd from longitude 7 until 37 is two time zones so east of 37 is a different time zone.
conclusion: we see the one time zone of china at the fat part of the globe is around NINETY percent of russia length.
both kashgar in west china and shanghai in east will have midnight simultaneously. in contrast cape dez' will enter 2022 at its midnight four hours earlier, when china calls 8pm. 
magadan on the south coast has a separate narrow time zone.151,60 this is a flaw considering 7 until 157 is ten zones 150/15=10, so 151e is in tenth tenth zone so should be +10 not +11 instead better like vladivostok.
next yakutzk 129e, 9 hours sooner than briton and 6 hours before moscow.
next irkutzk and china reach 12 am.
china's 4200 hypotenuse from shanghai across to 75e, 39n is less than u.s. by 300 km ergo as above that russian hypotenuse only 6% longer than u.s.'s and only seems much longer due to map distortion.
moscow and s.p. reach 12am simultaniusly with volgograd as above. 
anyway regardless of WHICH city we can celebrate each hour from british 11am of december 31, when new zealand enters 2022 13 hours before briton. and each hour another time zone enters 2022. i will need the whole bottle of champagne!
13 nz, 12 dez', 11mag', 10 vlad' but see above, 9 yak' 8 china, 7,6,5,4, volgograd +3 at 44e, but moscow flaw +3 kuz 7.5+30 includes moscow in zone 2 like jerusalem +2, norway at 10 degrees east +1 kuz 7+15=22 but sofia bulgaria 23 like jerusalem 35e.
at 7a in jerusalem u.s. enters 2022, and each hour for four zones as above and then alaska too -9 and one hour later hawaii reaches 12am.

fixing Sangraha section of book one adi in mahabharata

 

the need for improvement:

the version of mahabharata that we have starts with the story in "the forest of Naimisha"  when "Ugrasrava, the son of Lomaharshana," met sages at the twelve years' sacrifice of Saunaka. HOWEVER there are several indications that this is not the mahabharata firstly internally the m' was "told in its entirety" at the snake sacrifice and that section is later and that is the real mahab'.

around it more was added. 

tradition teaches that the beginning of the expanded mahab' is on page 207 of our version meaning the introduction is 207 pages until the king santanu.

evidence to support this claim is that in the section summarizing the mahabharata in section 2 named Sangraha, it has "detailed summaries" of ancient parts and books but much less for the sections before santanu. for example santanu is in the section Sambhava and from samb' the section provides summaries for the ancient expanded mahab' but for the introduction added the author did not write only as they added pausha and pauluma they added the NAME as we see on p.17 "The first section is called Anukramanika; the second, Sangraha; then Paushya; then Pauloma; the Astika". only names similarly in the part with summary we notice the difference only NAMES until samba! and only wrote summary for the older contents starting in samba compare in this quotation "In the Adi parva are contained Paushya, Pauloma, Astika, Adivansavatara, Samva, the burning of the house of lac" which IS "Jatugrihadaha (setting fire to the house of lac)" however "the slaying of Hidimba" is the later section "Hidimbabadha (the killing of Hidimba)".

to fix these problems i will need to blend several paragraphs to provide a summary of the introduction which is missing.

****we see the summary did write for contents of samba' however when they added intro it was merely introduction so they only mentioned the name of the added section not its contents.

after specifying that the intro is not even part of the expanded mahab' now somebody can provide a summary of those section and since the mahab' itself starts its summary paushya i will fll in the missing sections.

__fixing missing

the MAIN thing to fix is the summary starts pausha p. 19 yet names previous sections before paushaon p. 17 ergo i fix that now.

book one adi parva 

section one has a name:  on p.17 "The first section is called Anukramanika; the second, Sangraha; then Paushya; then Pauloma."

Anukramanika

summary of anuk': 

in the Naimisa forest, Sage Saunaka was performing a sacrifice that would continue until 12 years. ascetics were gathered there, when Ugrasravas came.  ug' was a teller for tales. the sages asked for the story of the Mahabharata at the snake sacrifice. Ugrasravas [merely] inroduced the Mahabharata.

Sage Vyasa [who shared the name krishna with other krishnas] saw the first egg from which gods and men exited. he knew the four Vedas.

the story is both related concisely [in section 2 no name in some versions] before the detailed stories. by denying himself pleasures he accurately saw the stories. when Vyasa wanted to teach it, a god came, he was brahma who had the purpose of   Creator, [huh? this section puts isa as more purposes later divided to vishnu and siva coincidently "isa" is the same ancient name of jesus who the author believed in as the one god who others called by three names as indicated in this section] who "cared for"= sustainer all.  Brahma advised him that the god Ganesha should write "what you say".

Ganesha came and wrote the epic.

Vyasa [kr' dw'], of the clan of the Bharats, bore 3 sons Dhritarashtra, Pandu. Vidura. After they died, Vyasa told the story of the Mahabharata. At the request of Janamejaya, Vaisampayana told it.

King Pandu visited sages in the forest for hunting. when he shot deer they were "an ascetic couple in the guise of deer".  he dwelled in the forest until he died. his wife Madri entered his funeral pyre burning both.

** the book "around world in 80 days" referd to this as real hindu idea].

The ascetics led the Pandavas to Bhishma's care. The Pandavas learned weapons. they married Draupadi. 

at Dharmaraja's  sacrifice, Duryodhana felt jealous of the Pandavas's wealth. after one gambled and lost in the game of dice, the Pandavas went to the forest and later lived in disguise. at the end of the agreed time, Duryodhana refused to return their kingdom. For this reason, a war broke out between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. p' overcame Kauravas. Vidura consoled Dhritarashtra, who mourned his sons' death. 

__second section has an internal name Sangraha

Sangraha

sangraha this section has a summary of the 18 parvas

sage Parusurama massacred the royal tribe 21 times. "He created five ponds with their blood and offered oblations of blood to his forefathers."

the numbers of the army. the battle was 18 days: For the Kauravas, Bhishma was the chief for ten days, Drona for five days, Karna for 2 days and Salya for half a day. one night, Aswatthama murderd the five sons of Pandavas.

+a summary of the 18 parvas.

one who recites or listens from others the Mahabharata, there is no need to take a dip in the Pushkara.

3. Paushya The Paushya parva treats of the greatness of Utanka, and the Pauloma, of the sons of Bhrigu.

Astika describes the birth of Garuda and of the Nagas (snakes), the churning of the ocean, the incidents relating to the birth of the celestial steed Uchchaihsrava, and finally, the dynasty of Bharata, as described in the Snake-sacrifice of king Janamejaya. 

The Sambhava parva narrates etc. ...

WAIT 

note: p.19 has after  Astika: Adivansavatara but a few lines later astika is followed by samb' and the kings are in the end of astika! this also reveals additions even further from original.

Adivansavatarana x, Sambhava 

"Sambhava of wonderful and thrilling incidents. "the birth of various kings and heroes, and that of the sage, Krishna Dwaipayana: the partial incarnations of deities, the generation of Danavas and Yakshas of great prowess, and serpents, Gandharvas, birds, and of all creatures; and lastly, of the life and adventures of king Bharata--the progenitor of the line that goes by his name--the son born of Sakuntala in the hermitage of the ascetic Kanwa. This parva also describes the greatness of Bhagirathi, and the births of the Vasus in the house of Santanu and their ascension to heaven. In this parva is also narrated the birth of Bhishma uniting in himself portions of the energies of the other Vasus, his renunciation of royalty and adoption of the Brahmacharya mode of life... leading to "slaying of hidimba p.20 but that is a different section quote: " then Hidimbabadha (the killing of Hidimba)"=and the slaying of her brother Hidimba by Bhima of great prowess. 

what a mess. yet the sections are blurd.

Jatugriha

Jatugrihadaha (setting fire to the house of lac) and then Hidimbabadha (the killing of Hidimba). these sections were blurd.

we can compare on p.19 "In the Adi parva are contained Paushya, Pauloma, Astika, Adivansavatara, Samva, the burning of the house of lac, the slaying of Hidimba"  which we now know from page 17 are later separate sections. but this list lacks two names anuk' and sangraha. it adds adiv' but the summary with details lacks adiv' as above.

summarizing mahabharata books 1, 2, 3 of 18

in september and october of 2020 i fixed the internal summary of mahabharata.
i mean in book one section 2, the m' described each of its 18 books. so i improved that summary.
use RIGHT click to open new tab and keep this open. its own summary of book one is good so i improved the summary of books 2 and 3 at link:
https://thinkforyourselfn8.blogspot.com/2020/10/summarizing-mahabharata-more.html
there.
now that the short summary of the 18 books was improved and published  i can start a more detailed summary of each of the 18 books called parvas. 
i now give a more lengthy summary of book one but if you prefer, it is already summarized in book one section 2 describing book one.
MAHABHARATA book one ONE named adi parva. first =Adi, fixing RAMESH boring summary
intro: "The Mahabharata has 18 books called parvas. the first of 18,  is named Adi, kuz in Sanskrit, meaning is first. adi was divided by some into 19 sections". its second section has an internal summary of the 18 parvas. however some start the mahabhararta after that kuz 207 pages are only introduction before the mehebharata starts with king santanu's wife agreeing to the gods request to kill their children.
after i summarized and published already the part of section two that describes the 18 books i can now expand more details for each section to help find the more attractive stories.
__Adi Parva
1. Anukramanika-Parva is only one chapter ["275 verses"].  it fills 15 pages so i summarize here:
in the Naimisa forest, Sage Saunaka was performing a sacrifice that would continue until 12 years. ascetics were gathered there, when Ugrasravas came.  ug' was a teller for tales. the sages asked for the story of the Mahabharata at the snake sacrifice. Ugrasravas [merely] inroduced the Mahabharata.

For this reason, a war broke out between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. p' overcame Kauravas. Vidura consoled Dhritarashtra, who mourned his sons' death. 
If anyone reads even one foot of a stanza of this epic, his sins are removed. 
In ancient times the gods put the four Vedas in one pan of the balance and the Mahabharata in the other. The Mahabharata outweighed the Vedas greatness.

summary of potter book one stone

Potter book 1 Sorceror=Philosopher’s Stone

fixing William Silvester's bad Chapter Synopses, July 10, 2011, by me 2021

__Chapter 1, The Boy Who Lived; Vernon Dursley and his blond haired wife Petunia have a blond son named Dudley. [x peculiar happenings, too vague] Vernon saw a cat reading a map. Dumbledore told Professor McGonagall that voldemort is gone. a flying bike, which Hagrid rode delivered Harry Potter to the Dursley's door because petunia and his dead ma [not pa] were siblings.

note: was uncle vernon on father's side or mother? neither only by marriage. 

Chapter 2  The Vanishing Glass; Harry has often fled from his violent cousin Dudley, the bully who punched him and other students. Harry went with Dudley to the zoo where dudley punched harry so hard that harry fell. unexplicably, the glass of the boa cage "vanished" so Dudley was scared as the boa escaped. note: in video differs: dudley pushed harry as he left the cupboard under the stairs, but in book harry is already doing chores when dudley came to the kitchen. in video, when glass vanished, dudley toppled forward and splashed into the boa's water but in book he jumped back. 

+fan fiction: the glass temporarily vaporized so dudley who was leaning on the glass toppled in and splashed as the boa escaped. after the boa was free, it rematerialized so the boa had swapped places with Dudley. he was trapped by the glass and banged until the zoo crew unlocked a door. the staff banned the dursleys from coming to zoo due to their crazy kid who somehow got in the boa cage.

lesson: magic is possible without a wand.

Chapter 3  The Letters From No One; harry got a letter in the mail=post but dudley stole it and Uncle Vernon destroyd it. more envelopes came, despite Vernon's efforts so he drove the family to a hotel. even there a letter came so they go to the sea to sleep in "the house on the rock" on a tiny island.

Chapter 4  The Keeper of the Keys; Hagrid came and told Harry "you are" [x that he=which?] a wizard. He told how Harry's parents were murdered... by a dark wizard. on halloween, he who must not be named, voldemort attempted to murder the Potter family. both parents died but "Somehow" Harry survived with only a scar, the lightning scar on his forehead.

Chapter 5  Diagon Alley; Hagrid led Harry to the secret and magical "Diagon Alley" in London. at the Gringotts bank, Hagrid took a secret package from a vault. harry saw his inheritance and took some. they went and purchased school supplies, including his wand.  Hagrid gave Harry a train ticket to Hogwarts. +in video: hagrid led harry to the train station where he met the Weasleys.

Chapter 6  The Journey From Platform 9 3/4; Uncle Vernon drove Harry to 

the train Station and left him on platform nine. the Weasleys explain how to go to the secret Platform 9 3/4 [+meaning closer to ten coulda wrote 2/3 but that truly is a different train route maybe not express but with more stops to hogwarts school]. he and ron become friends and they met Hermione. harry went in a boat to the castle with other first years. +kuz no brooms like the older kids on train. harry used train in year 3, kuz train not only for first years. he probably flew on broom from the station to the school castle.

Chapter 7  The Sorting Hat; Professor McGonagall tells the first-years that the school has four competing houses. a magical wizard's pointy hat sorted the first years so Harry hermione and ron are in the same house. a generous meal materializes. ron's brother led harry and his house mates to [x find] the tower dorm.

Chapter 8  The Potions Master; on his first day of classes he meets his teachers in several magical lessons. charms and transfiguration and potions.

snape targeted [x pointed out] harry to shame him. Hagrid invited harry to visit.

Harry jumpd on Black, punching... in anger about his parents' death. ron desperately ignored his injury to push aside black's hand which held their wands. with Hermione the young trio overpowerd him. although black only "disarmed" instead of the curse that kills, still harry was so angry about his parents that he pointed his wand at black... the cat jumped on black's robes to cover blacks heart and block harry's charm... before harry can kill both....

stone age and iron age

TIME LINE

year 7000 bc starts grind-lithic [explained below]. by river jordan 7kbc page 16, stone "grind" page 14, to sharpen stone tools as explained below. y7kbc also turkey anatolia page 17, 7000 bc likejordan river page 16 before mesopotamia 4000, page 16.

y3290bc bronz by river jordan page 41. everywhere else egypt or mesopotamia and distant used stone and continued stone until iron after 750 bc.

y3000bc writing in mesopotamia p29, before egypt p22.

y1000bc iron age in israel, the "late israel" 1000bc=iron [museum] to 580bc but far israel before iron age.

y750bc iron in greece but spread from danube river region. rest of europe later. like africa egypt stone continued. no bronze age in egypt despite writing around 2800bc in egypt.

earlier stone tools book 650,000 bc but see below.

we should define the first human as "wise enuf to grind stones" insted of chipping so no human before 7000 bc still animal til then despite larger brain and from then homo sapian not 250,000  page 3.

details: the start of "far lithic" is in conflict between several websites. book claimed stone tools 650,000 since "far ice" started 1 million,p7, after "sapien ancestor erectus 1.1m" p3, and stone tool started 2/3 p7. if so homo erectus the "ancestor" of homo sapien did not use tools until 650kbc. he is considered "human" with title homo insted of "pithicus" based on "skull bone more volume" kuz found bone. seprating human from animal pithicus. however this is a flaw to claim bigger brain since even homo erectus did not yet make stone  tools acording to book itself and  whales have big brains simply relatuve to body so large brain does not show more potential. so i must fix.

azkaban 1999 +2004 part one

 
the harry potter series is old but what was it about?
due to its twentieth anniversary i provide a summary but only the highlights of the exciting parts kuz old.
AZKABAN was a book 1999 that was adapted to video 2004 long long ago. what happend in the story?
the HIGHLIGHTS from "azkaban", fixing the flawed synopses by William Silvester: simply compare the order or enjoy mine alone kuz not simply copied kuz his is bad.
+Chapter 1 Owl Post, Harry secretly wrote his school summer-assignments. one dawn, owls flew in 3 birthday gifts:  a book-beast from hagrid, a broom kit from hermione, and a warn-item from ron. they hid their own birthdates but sent cards that wish "happy birthday" to harry, and that tell him their stories: hermione visited france. ron went to egypt and will buy a new wand which reminds harry of the adventure: flying a car to scool and the collision with the womping willow.
Chapter 2 Aunt Marge’s Big Mistake, Aunt Marge visited. when she insulted Harry's parents, he has cause for anger. the wizard nature, uncontrollable as at the zoo, punished her to swell and float like a helium balloon. harry packed and left, knowing his uncle would refuse to sign permission to visit Hogsmeade.
Chapter 3  The Knight Bus, Harry rode in the Knight Bus to London. He learns that Sirius Black,  escaped "azkaban." Cornelius Fudge met him and does not punish harry [as above he did not perform any spell]. instead he arranged a room in the Leaky Cauldron for harry to sleep. harry has gold to pay for the room.
Chapter 4  The Leaky Cauldron, Harry is free from his mean relatives. when he bout scool supplies, he reunited with Hermione and Ron. Hermione adopted a cat: Crookshanks. Ron has a rat named Scabbers. at the Leaky Cauldron, Harry heard ron's parents say that harry was in danger.
Chapter 5  The Dementor, harry and his pals rode the train to Hogwarts. they talk about harry's hazard at Hogsmeade. Professor Remus Lupin's presence tamed Malfoy. dementors searched the train. one sukd Harry's life until he fainted. at school, [oy bad "and"] Hagrid was teaching Care of Magical Creatures.
Chapter 6  Talons and Tea Leaves, Hermione had a overly full schedule. in Divination class Professor Trelawney hinted Harry will die that year. Hagrid showed a hippogriff [winged horse] named Buckbeak. malfoy was rude so it scratched him. his pa will blame hagrid and hagrid is sad he is doomed.
