okay so i never fully remembered what my question was but!! i did remember that it had to do with philip’s social life or hobbies and so my new question is do we have any information on that? like if he had hobbies besides going to bars and not paying his bills or like who his friends were (besides price yk). i imagine there’s not much on this but anything helps!!! love you bestie <33

Philip seems to have taken notable interest in theater and literature. Both of his friends, Thomas Rathbone and Stephen Price had a considerable relation to theater. As Rathbone, one of Philip's old classmates, writes to his sister about his death;

At the theatre I was informed of it about 9 O'clock Monday evening - I immediately ran to the House near the State Prison from whence I was told they dare not remove him - Picture yourself my dear Girl my emotions which must have assailed me on my arrival at his room to which I was admitted as his old College classmate.

Additionally, both Price and Philip were going to see the play, The West Indian by Cumberland, when they happened to encounter Eacker. [x] Stephen Price would also go on to be very influential to America's theater business, and became the founder of theater management.

Philip also enjoyed reading. At the young age of eight, he was already requesting books about geography;

I enclose for my little friend Philip a copy of the elements of Geography, which I mentioned.

Source — Tench Coxe to Alexander Hamilton, [10 July 1790]

He also seemed to have dabbled in poetry with Hamilton mentioning that Eliza would give him an Ovid, referring to the Roman poet, Publius Ovidius Naso, who is often ranked as one of the three canonical poets of Latin;

Your Mama has got an Ovid for you and is looking up your Mairs introduction.

Source — Alexander Hamilton to Philip Hamilton, [December 5, 1791]

Prior to his death he was also borrowing a book from the local library. [x] There is also the possibility of him being given his father's old books. [x]

When Philip was older, he was also part of a literature society. It was a Literature Society composed mainly of boys in their early twenties. It looks as though the members belonged to the same generational group, and were all rather acquainted with each other. A reappearing pattern being that; most of them were from New York, studied law, and graduated from Columbia in the 1790s.

About this time, Mr. Jones was a member of a literary society, (of which the late Peter A. Jay was president,) composed, among others, of Nathan Sandford, Charles Baldwin, John Ferguson, Jas. Alexander, Rudolph Bunner, Goveurneur Ogden, the first Philip Hamilton, William Bard, Wm. A. Duer, Philip Church, John Duer, and Beverley Robinson; of whom the last five are the only survivors.

Source — Memorial of the Late Honorable David S. Jones

Funny enough, there are a lot of familiar faces, and two of which would later assist Philip in his duel against George Eacker. David Samuel Jones, who was a 1796 graduate of Columbia College, would later help Philip convince his uncle John Barker Church to lend them his guns for the encounter and was one of his second's. Additionally, Philip's cousin also went there, Philip Church, who would also later be his second. Philip seems to have had a close relationship with his cousin Church, as Church was usually visiting the Hamiltons' and assisting his uncle Hamilton in Law or the Quasi-war.

Overall, Philip was quite “popular” and well-liked by many other boys his age, likely due to the importance of his surname. He was known for being very smart, gregarious, and handsome, with his charming rebellious side he appealed to plenty of adolescent men from his generation. The Evening Post considered him; “a young man of most amiable disposition and cultivated mind; much esteemed and affectionately beloved by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.” [x]

He seemed to make friends easily, other than just the previously mentioned Price and Rathbone, but also Washington's step-grandson; George Washington Parke Custis (Also known as Wash or Washy), who he attended school with for a period of time [x], they were also childhood playmates — as the Hamilton children visited the Washingtons' often when the two families lived in Philadelphia. Wash even wrote Hamilton a condolence letter after Philip's death, and in it he said; “We were brought up as it were, together in our earlier years and that mutual friendship which then existed between us, would I have no doubt have at a future time ripened into esteem.” [x]

There was also the small portion of time when Lafayette's son, Georges Washington de Lafayette, stayed with the Hamiltons' in 1795 while they awaited for conflict to die down so he could stay with Washington. [x] (Which actually brings up a funny story about Hamilton losing Lafayette's son) Georges and Philip were only three years apart in age, so it's imaginable they may have found each other's company agreeable. The only opposition being that Georges seemed in a state of despondency during his time with the Hamiltons' - likely missing his home country and parents - he was described as losing weight and being depressed, if not absent from their home and off with his tutor. [x] And later on he never wrote about his stay with them at all. So, I can't affirm it was a pleasurable experience for him, and there isn't any considerable evidence to suggest a friendship between the boys.

Another apparent interest of Philip's was traveling, and he traveled to Providence, Rhode island, and Philadelphia on his own during his youth. In a condolence letter, Rush says Philip was a charming guest at their residence during the last trip and says he made great friends with his son, who was likely Richard Rush since there was only two years difference between the boys;

It may perhaps help to sooth your grief when I add to that united expression of Sympathy, that your Son had made himself very dear to my family during his late visit to Philadelphia, by the most engaging deportment. His visits to us were daily, and after each of them he left us with fresh impressions of the correctness of his understanding and manners, and of the goodness of his disposition. To One of my Children he has endeared himself by an Act of friendship & benevolence that did great honor to his heart, and will be rememb[e]red with gratitude by Mrs. Rush, and myself as long as we live. My Son has preserved a record of it in an elegant and friendly letter which he received from him After his return to New York.

Source — Benjamin Rush to Alexander Hamilton, [November 26, 1801]

For even more options, there is a catalog of graduates at Columbia College which show the names of Philip's classmates. [x]

Hope this helps!

The order of appearance of the witnesses will be announced at a later date.

In making public the names of the witnesses, however, I want to emphasize that the mere fact they are being called to testify before the Committee should not be considered a reflection in any way upon their character or patriotism. These persons are being brought with the sole objective of obtaining the facts regarding the inroads the communists have made in Hollywood. Some of the witnesses are friendly to the Committee's purposes. Others are undoubtedly hostile. The Committee wants to hear both sides.

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE COMMITTEE ON UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES

U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

- 2 -

The Committee had originally hoped to begin this hearing on September 29. However, a number of unforeseen circumstances have arisen regarding the membership of the Committee which necessitates a delay until October 20, in order that all members may be present for this important hearing. Mr. Mundt and Mr. Nixon are now in Europe as members of Congressional committees studying conditions there. Mr. Veil is convalescing from a recent operation, and Mr. Peterson has informed me that he cannot possibly attend the hearings this month. I feel quite certain, however, that all the members will be available by October 20.

Hearings will begin as scheduled September 24 on the Hanns Eisler phase of this hearing. This cannot be delayed until the October date for the reason that all of the witnesses have been subpoenaed and are in Washington at this time, some having been brought from foreign countries. The announced witnesses in the Hanns Eisler care are as follows:

Sumner Welles

P.C. Hutton, Second Secretary and Consul, Guatemala City, Guatemala

George S. Messermith, former Ambassador to Argentina

Joseph Savoretti, Asst. Commissioner for Adjudication U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Clarence R. Porter, Chief Inspector U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Hearings will begin in the Caucus Room of the Old House Office Building, at 10:30 A.M., September 24.

I should also like to announce at this time that I intend to make a nation-wide radio address early in October relative to the Hollywood hearing."

Comfortember Day 16 - Coffee/Tea Break

Watts brought out the new tin he found at the little Chinese store he went to the previous day. It was a calm day in the Station House, and all of his paperwork was done. It was. He did it this time. No new cases, however, and he at least had to stay until early afternoon before heading home to a delightful book waiting for him. So, he decided on trying his new acquisition.

His little teapot, enough for two servings, was brought out and he made sure that he didn’t leave old tea leaves to molder. Good, he emptied it this time. He put in a decent amount of this type and went to the small stove to heat up water.

“What is your find this time?” a voice asked. He quickly peeked to see Murdoch coming up behind him. The man had been having the same problems with no cases and complete paperwork. Although his inventing had gone up with the break from police work. To the annoyance of Inspector Brackenreid.

“Tightly rolled green tea leaves. I watched them blossom the last time I received dim sum,” he said. “I enjoyed it even as it cooled. There’s a mixture that they also served, but the second herb irritated my throat.” The older man raised an eyebrow in interest. He opened the tin and showed the leaves. With the water boiled for the right amount of minutes, he allowed it to cool for five. Then, he poured it over them. The two enjoyed seeing the leaves expand in the heated water.

“What was served with this tea?” Murdoch inquired. Watts, from previous knowledge, knew that the man wanted to try a sip of the tea. He also was now more willing to try new foods and items if his wife or someone else he trusted gave him recommendations. The fact that Llewellyn was someone he trusted held a closely guarded wave of warmth within his heart.

He had heard about Eva Pierce. When he had poured out the wine for him to taste test, he had no idea that it had been a major step for Murdoch to trust him as such. Perhaps, as he had been also tasting things alongside him.

Watts tried to have no desire to overthink it.

Carefully carrying things, he sat across from Murdoch, pouring out the tea into two separate cups. “My savory selection was a smoked fish and vegetables mixed with cream cheese of all things placed in a dumpling before being pan-fried. My sweet was fruit mixed with cream cheese.”

That sounded different. “Cream cheese and fish?” Murdoch questioned, raising his cup, “How peculiar. Could you tell the type?” The first sip was a little too hot still, but he did taste a deepness that he normally connected to black teas.

He shook his head. “No distinct flavor. It did work incredibly well. The texture of the fish was wound into the cream cheese, and there was a bit of bite still left in the vegetables. The fruit was wonderfully sweet.” Watts took a larger drink, wincing as he forgot about the heat. Murdoch watched in slight amusement. “I don’t know the name of the type of filling, but it would be something I would enjoy again. Possibly with a light wine instead of the tea.”

The older man did not roll his eyes. “A larger selection of items and a larger pot of tea would be good as a dinner party,” he mentioned. Watts perked up. He did enjoy the Murdoch-Ogden parties. The two kept sipping at the tea. Watts eyed the new invention and was planning on poking it a fair bit, making Murdoch explain its function and how breakable it was.

Instead, George walked in, ready for action. “Oh, sirs, it’s perfect that the two of you are together.”

“What have you, George?” Murdoch inquired.

“A triple murder,” he informed, “In the middle of the political office of Samuel Danvers.”

The two men looked at each other. Both had reasoning to not want to deal with political problems at the current point in time. They both finished their tea and followed George out.

Up From Slavery - Intro: Part 1

of 18 parts. Sylllabus, Preface & Intro

Up from Slavery is the 1921 autobiography of Booker T. Washington sharing his personal experience of having to work to rise up from the position of a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton Institute, to his work establishing the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama to help black people learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. He reflects on the generosity of both teachers and philanthropists who helped in educating blacks and Native Americans. He describes his efforts to instill manners, breeding, health and a feeling of dignity to students.

Preface

This volume is the outgrowth of a series of articles, dealing with incidents in my life, which were published consecutively in the Outlook. While they were appearing in that magazine I was constantly surprised at the number of requests which came to me from all parts of the country, asking that the articles be permanently preserved in book form. I am most grateful to the Outlook for permission to gratify these requests.

I have tried to tell a simple, straightforward story, with no attempt at embellishment. My regret is that what I have attempted to do has been done so imperfectly. The greater part of my time and strength is required for the executive work connected with the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, and in securing the money necessary for the support of the institution. Much of what I have said has been written on board trains, or at hotels or railroad stations while I have been waiting for trains, or during the moments that I could spare from my work while at Tuskegee. Without the painstaking and generous assistance of Mr. Max Bennett Thrasher I could not have succeeded in any satisfactory degree.

Introduction

The details of Mr. Washington's early life, as frankly set down in "Up from Slavery," do not give quite a whole view of his education. He had the training that a coloured youth receives at Hampton, which, indeed, the autobiography does explain. But the reader does not get his intellectual pedigree, for Mr. Washington himself, perhaps, does not as clearly understand it as another man might. The truth is he had a training during the most impressionable period of his life that was very extraordinary, such a training as few men of his generation have had. To see its full meaning one must start in the Hawaiian Islands half a century or more ago.* There Samuel Armstrong, a youth of missionary parents, earned enough money to pay his expenses at an American college. Equipped with this small sum and the earnestness that the undertaking implied, he came to Williams College when Dr. Mark Hopkins was president. Williams College had many good things for youth in that day, as it has in this, but the greatest was the strong personality of its famous president. Every student does not profit by a great teacher; but perhaps no young man ever came under the influence of Dr. Hopkins, whose whole nature was so ripe for profit by such an experience as young Armstrong. He lived in the family of President Hopkins, and thus had a training that was wholly out of the common; and this training had much to do with the development of his own strong character, whose originality and force we are only beginning to appreciate. * For this interesting view of Mr. Washington's education, I am indebted to Robert C. Ogden, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Hampton Institute and the intimate friend of General Armstrong during the whole period of his educational work.

In turn, Samuel Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute, took up his work as a trainer of youth. He had very raw material, and doubtless most of his pupils failed to get the greatest lessons from him; but, as he had been a peculiarly receptive pupil of Dr. Hopkins, so Booker Washington became a peculiarly receptive pupil of his. To the formation of Mr. Washington's character, then, went the missionary zeal of New England, influenced by one of the strongest personalities in modern education, and the wide-reaching moral earnestness of General Armstrong himself. These influences are easily recognizable in Mr. Washington to-day by men who knew Dr. Hopkins and General Armstrong.

I got the cue to Mr. Washington's character from a very simple incident many years ago. I had never seen him, and I knew little about him, except that he was the head of a school at Tuskegee, Alabama. I had occasion to write to him, and I addressed him as "The Rev. Booker T. Washington." In his reply there was no mention of my addressing him as a clergyman. But when I had occasion to write to him again, and persisted in making him a preacher, his second letter brought a postscript: "I have no claim to 'Rev.'" I knew most of the coloured men who at that time had become prominent as leaders of their race, but I had not then known one who was neither a politician nor a preacher; and I had not heard of the head of an important coloured school who was not a preacher. "A new kind of man in the coloured world," I said to myself—"a new kind of man surely if he looks upon his task as an economic one instead of a theological one." I wrote him an apology for mistaking him for a preacher.

The first time that I went to Tuskegee I was asked to make an address to the school on Sunday evening. I sat upon the platform of the large chapel and looked forth on a thousand coloured faces, and the choir of a hundred or more behind me sang a familiar religious melody, and the whole company joined in the chorus with unction. I was the only white man under the roof, and the scene and the songs made an impression on me that I shall never forget. Mr. Washington arose and asked them to sing one after another of the old melodies that I had heard all my life; but I had never before heard them sung by a thousand voices nor by the voices of educated Negroes. I had associated them with the Negro of the past, not with the Negro who was struggling upward. They brought to my mind the plantation, the cabin, the slave, not the freedman in quest of education. But on the plantation and in the cabin they had never been sung as these thousand students sang them. I saw again all the old plantations that I had ever seen; the whole history of the Negro ran through my mind; and the inexpressible pathos of his life found expression in these songs as I had never before felt it.

And the future? These were the ambitious youths of the race, at work with an earnestness that put to shame the conventional student life of most educational institutions. Another song rolled up along the rafters. And as soon as silence came, I found myself in front of this extraordinary mass of faces, thinking not of them, but of that long and unhappy chapter in our country's history which followed the one great structural mistake of the Fathers of the Republic; thinking of the one continuous great problem that generations of statesmen had wrangled over, and a million men fought about, and that had so dwarfed the mass of English men in the Southern States as to hold them back a hundred years behind their fellows in every other part of the world—in England, in Australia, and in the Northern and Western States; I was thinking of this dark shadow that had oppressed every large-minded statesman from Jefferson to Lincoln. These thousand young men and women about me were victims of it. I, too, was an innocent victim of it. The whole Republic was a victim of that fundamental error of importing Africa into America. I held firmly to the first article of my faith that the Republic must stand fast by the principle of a fair ballot; but I recalled the wretched mess that Reconstruction had made of it; I recalled the low level of public life in all the "black" States. Every effort of philanthropy seemed to have miscarried, every effort at correcting abuses seemed of doubtful value, and the race friction seemed to become severer. Here was the century-old problem in all its pathos seated singing before me. Who were the more to be pitied—these innocent victims of an ancient wrong, or I and men like me, who had inherited the problem? I had long ago thrown aside illusions and theories, and was willing to meet the facts face to face, and to do whatever in God's name a man might do towards saving the next generation from such a burden. But I felt the weight of twenty well-nigh hopeless years of thought and reading and observation; for the old difficulties remained and new ones had sprung up. Then I saw clearly that the way out of a century of blunders had been made by this man who stood beside me and was introducing me to this audience. Before me was the material he had used. All about me was the indisputable evidence that he had found the natural line of development. He had shown the way. Time and patience and encouragement and work would do the rest.

It was then more clearly than ever before that I understood the patriotic significance of Mr. Washington's work. It is this conception of it and of him that I have ever since carried with me. It is on this that his claim to our gratitude rests.

To teach the Negro to read, whether English, or Greek, or Hebrew, butters no parsnips. To make the Negro work, that is what his master did in one way and hunger has done in another; yet both these left Southern life where they found it. But to teach the Negro to do skilful work, as men of all the races that have risen have worked,—responsible work, which IS education and character; and most of all when Negroes so teach Negroes to do this that they will teach others with a missionary zeal that puts all ordinary philanthropic efforts to shame,—this is to change the whole economic basis of life and the whole character of a people.

The plan itself is not a new one. It was worked out at Hampton Institute, but it was done at Hampton by white men. The plan had, in fact, been many times theoretically laid down by thoughtful students of Southern life. Handicrafts were taught in the days of slavery on most well-managed plantations. But Tuskegee is, nevertheless, a brand-new chapter in the history of the Negro, and in the history of the knottiest problem we have ever faced. It not only makes "a carpenter of a man; it makes a man of a carpenter." In one sense, therefore, it is of greater value than any other institution for the training of men and women that we have, from Cambridge to Palo Alto. It is almost the only one of which it may be said that it points the way to a new epoch in a large area of our national life.

To work out the plan on paper, or at a distance—that is one thing. For a white man to work it out—that too, is an easy thing. For a coloured man to work it out in the South, where, in its constructive period, he was necessarily misunderstood by his own people as well as by the whites, and where he had to adjust it at every step to the strained race relations—that is so very different and more difficult a thing that the man who did it put the country under lasting obligations to him.

It was not and is not a mere educational task. Anybody could teach boys trades and give them an elementary education. Such tasks have been done since the beginning of civilization. But this task had to be done with the rawest of raw material, done within the civilization of the dominant race, and so done as not to run across race lines and social lines that are the strongest forces in the community. It had to be done for the benefit of the whole community. It had to be done, moreover, without local help, in the face of the direst poverty, done by begging, and done in spite of the ignorance of one race and the prejudice of the other.

No man living had a harder task, and a task that called for more wisdom to do it right. The true measure of Mr. Washington's success is, then, not his teaching the pupils of Tuskegee, nor even gaining the support of philanthropic persons at a distance, but this—that every Southern white man of character and of wisdom has been won to a cordial recognition of the value of the work, even men who held and still hold to the conviction that a mere book education for the Southern blacks under present conditions is a positive evil. This is a demonstration of the efficiency of the Hampton-Tuskegee idea that stands like the demonstration of the value of democratic institutions themselves—a demonstration made so clear in spite of the greatest odds that it is no longer open to argument.

Consider the change that has come in twenty years in the discussion of the Negro problem. Two or three decades ago social philosophers and statisticians and well-meaning philanthropists were still talking and writing about the deportation of the Negroes, or about their settlement within some restricted area, or about their settling in all parts of the Union, or about their decline through their neglect of their children, or about their rapid multiplication till they should expel the whites from the South—of every sort of nonsense under heaven. All this has given place to the simple plan of an indefinite extension among the neglected classes of both races of the Hampton-Tuskegee system of training. The "problem" in one sense has disappeared. The future will have for the South swift or slow development of its masses and of its soil in proportion to the swift or slow development of this kind of training. This change of view is a true measure of Mr. Washington's work.

The literature of the Negro in America is colossal, from political oratory through abolitionism to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "Cotton is King"—a vast mass of books which many men have read to the waste of good years (and I among them); but the only books that I have read a second time or ever care again to read in the whole list (most of them by tiresome and unbalanced "reformers") are "Uncle Remus" and "Up from Slavery"; for these are the great literature of the subject. One has all the best of the past, the other foreshadows a better future; and the men who wrote them are the only men who have written of the subject with that perfect frankness and perfect knowledge and perfect poise whose other name is genius.

Mr. Washington has won a world-wide fame at an early age. His story of his own life already has the distinction of translation into more languages, I think, than any other American book; and I suppose that he has as large a personal acquaintance among men of influence as any private citizen now living.

His own teaching at Tuskegee is unique. He lectures to his advanced students on the art of right living, not out of text-books, but straight out of life. Then he sends them into the country to visit Negro families. Such a student will come back with a minute report of the way in which the family that he has seen lives, what their earnings are, what they do well and what they do ill; and he will explain how they might live better. He constructs a definite plan for the betterment of that particular family out of the resources that they have. Such a student, if he be bright, will profit more by an experience like this than he could profit by all the books on sociology and economics that ever were written. I talked with a boy at Tuskegee who had made such a study as this, and I could not keep from contrasting his knowledge and enthusiasm with what I heard in a class room at a Negro university in one of the Southern cities, which is conducted on the idea that a college course will save the soul. Here the class was reciting a lesson from an abstruse text-book on economics, reciting it by rote, with so obvious a failure to assimilate it that the waste of labour was pitiful.

I asked Mr. Washington years ago what he regarded as the most important result of his work, and he replied:

"I do not know which to put first, the effect of Tuskegee's work on the Negro, or the effect on the attitude of the white man to the Negro."

The race divergence under the system of miseducation was fast getting wider. Under the influence of the Hampton-Tuskegee idea the races are coming into a closer sympathy and into an honourable and helpful relation. As the Negro becomes economically independent, he becomes a responsible part of the Southern life; and the whites so recognize him. And this must be so from the nature of things. There is nothing artificial about it. It is development in a perfectly natural way. And the Southern whites not only so recognize it, but they are imitating it in the teaching of the neglected masses of their own race. It has thus come about that the school is taking a more direct and helpful hold on life in the South than anywhere else in the country. Education is not a thing apart from life—not a "system," nor a philosophy; it is direct teaching how to live and how to work.

To say that Mr. Washington has won the gratitude of all thoughtful Southern white men, is to say that he has worked with the highest practical wisdom at a large constructive task; for no plan for the up-building of the freedman could succeed that ran counter to Southern opinion. To win the support of Southern opinion and to shape it was a necessary part of the task; and in this he has so well succeeded that the South has a sincere and high regard for him. He once said to me that he recalled the day, and remembered it thankfully, when he grew large enough to regard a Southern white man as he regarded a Northern one. It is well for our common country that the day is come when he and his work are regarded as highly in the South as in any other part of the Union. I think that no man of our generation has a more noteworthy achievement to his credit than this; and it is an achievement of moral earnestness of the strong character of a man who has done a great national service.

[ad_1] If all roads result in blank calories in Utah, some municipalities comparable to West Valley Town are leaning towards taking another trail to succeed in it.A 2019 renewable calories invoice promised a gradual direction for native governments to apply to reach 100% blank calories through 2030. The plan was once to push the improvement of an calories infrastructure that may interconnect and feed sun, wind and different carbon-free resources of electrical energy without delay into the Rocky Mountain Energy machine.The Neighborhood Renewable Power Act, an interlocal settlement born out of HB411, began when just about two dozen Utah towns and counties dedicated to the 100% blank calories function through passing a qualifying answer, although many different native governments stayed at the sidelines. The regulation handed with Rep. Stephen At hand, R-Layton, and then-Sen. Daniel Hemmert, R-Orem, as sponsors.Imposing the initiative didn’t finish there, alternatively. This multiyear effort required more than a few steps. Presently, advocates are looking to get the ones qualifying towns and counties to join a governance settlement so to proceed in this system.Opting in approach towns and counties would pay the prices for Segment 1. Additionally they would develop into a part of teams that may paintings along Rocky Mountain Energy within the design of the application methods.To this point, 15 native governments have joined the interlocal accord to turn on HB411. Salt Lake Town, Summit County, Grand County, Moab, Millcreek, Park Town and Fortress Valley have signed and made further voluntary bills to verify the investment of the ones implementation prices, which run roughly $700,000. Alta, Cottonwood Heights, Francis, Holladay, Kearns, Ogden, Salt Lake County and Springdale are also collaborating in the second one step of the method.8 different communities that to begin with embraced the challenge haven’t made the dedication to stay going — although they're eligible since they followed resolutions supporting net-100% renewable electrical energy for his or her communities through 2030.West Valley Town, the state’s 2nd most-populous town, is certainly one of them — in conjunction with Bluffdale, Coalville, Emigration Canyon Township, Kamas, Oakley, Orem and West Jordan.Price stays a concern(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) West Valley Town Corridor, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022.After two years of discussions, a metamorphosis of mayor and of 2 council seats — or even with a brand new cut-off date that may permit town to sign up through Would possibly 31 — town turns out not likely to signal on and make its preliminary $47,899.22 cost for Segment 1.A number one concern is the affect that switching to scrub calories would have at the town’s low-income citizens.Town Supervisor Wayne Pyle advisable the Town Council to not take your next step to join the Neighborhood Renewable Power Act. He warned that town would now not be capable to keep an eye on its personal future as soon as it dedicated to the plan.“You're a small portion of the entire,” he stated.“We’re at all times skeptical and intently read about any type of new group earlier than we sign up for it,” Pyle stated. “My primary large worry with Space Invoice 411 is that I were given 140,000 citizens out right here, and what they're proposing would come with an undefined monetary burden for citizens.”The Town Council nonetheless discusses the settlement. If West Valley Town in the end indicators on, citizens could be routinely integrated within the blank calories transfer. They may be able to decide out through checking a field on their application invoice.Newly minted Mayor Karen Lang has doubts about this system.“I don’t suppose we've sufficient cast data from Rocky Mountain as to what it will price the citizens,” she stated. “They simply don’t have the main points, or they’re now not sharing them. And so I’m now not comfy committing our citizens to anything else with out all of the data.

”(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) West Valley Town Mayor Karen Lang at her house on Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2021. She is cautious of committing town to an interlocal settlement about renewable calories.There’s now not an exact prediction about how a lot the calories charges would build up. A 2017 find out about discovered that, with this program, “charges could be 9% to fourteen% upper in 2032 for the communities as opposed to trade as standard.” Since then, sun costs have diminished through round 25%, Utah 100 Communities, the company that administers this system, said on its website online.Going it by myself(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) A UTA bus choices up passengers in West Valley Town, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022.Program advocates argue this represents an extraordinary alternative to succeed in a key environmental function. Electrical energy is among the greatest resources of carbon emissions national, and this program has the prospective to vastly minimize them and make blank calories out there for individuals who can’t have the funds for the in advance funding of sun panels and different energy-efficiency equipment.“This program is not going to come round once more. This chance isn't one thing that there's a political urge for food to re-create,” stated Lindsay Beebe, marketing campaign consultant from the Sierra Membership. “It took massive political capital to create this within the first position. And it lately is the one program in Utah, and likewise within the nation, that permits towns to reach 100% renewable calories through 2030.”For his phase, Pyle doubts West Valley Town is lacking out on a possibility. Town, he stated, is operating towards the similar function of 100% blank calories through 2030 via its personal approach.Town shifted to four-day workweeks for its staff within the early 2000s, as an example, and transformed a part of its fleet to hybrid cars, together with vehicles for police detectives.(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) West Valley Town Police Division headquarters, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022.“We put 1,000,000 greenbacks in federal partnerships to emission relief efforts that may lead to energy-efficiency upgrades right here at Town Corridor,” Pyle stated. “We’ve finished the similar factor on the Circle of relatives Health Heart. That’s a 100,000-square-foot facility. We’ve finished that on the Maverik Heart, in its inside, and we’re operating at the out of doors, to make lighting pass right into a complete LED construction up there.”Town approves 400 residential rooftop sun tasks a yr, in keeping with Pyle, and has collected round 4,500 total. He believes that a majority of these movements will boost up and proceed within the subsequent 8 years.“We’re now not best. We’re now not there but,” Pyle stated. “However we've been accelerating and are making nice growth in opposition to that.”Carmen Valdez, coverage affiliate on the environmental nonprofit Heal Utah, has mentioned this system with town officers and has been operating with companies to inspire them to recommend for HB411.Valdez stated govt officers wish to know that being a part of the interlocal accord does now not imply that they're tied to a program they are able to’t keep an eye on.“What we’re hoping for is for them to peer that through changing into a part of the committee and the board that’s creating this plan and proposing it to Rocky Mountain Energy,” she stated, “you'll be able to in reality make sure that the ones considerations that you've got are addressed and come with such things as ensuring that there are alternatives for growth from the application on the subject of native supply energy.”Alixel Cabrera is a File for The us corps member and writes concerning the standing of communities at the west facet of the Salt Lake Valley for The Salt Lake Tribune.

Noé hoped to confiscate the $16,000 on board, but De la Guerra instead wrote a check on the habilitaciónaccount for Noé and kept the $16,000 cash in California (Miller 2001; Bancroft 1885, 208, 269; Trejo 2006c, 30-31).

Captain Samuel Northrop stated he had been trading with the Russians, and had stopped at San Luis Obispo only to obtain fresh water and provisions (Bancroft 1885, 271). When the Tagleseized the Pedler, it fell to José Darío Argüello as interim governor of California to declare the seizure licit or not. Mission San Luis Obispo was a notorious location for contraband trade. Even so, Argüello wrote that there was no evidence that the Pedlerhad traded, and should be freed (Bancroft 1885, 271). With this controversial decision, Argüello created the institutional space for Californios to trade with foreigners. He himself had long been implicated in contraband (Ogden 1941, 39-40). His son Luis Antonio succeeded José Darío Argüello as commander of PresidioSan Francisco in 1806. The Russians were using Bodega Bay from which to send Alutiiq kayaks into San Francisco Bay. Commander Argüello demonstrated particular zeal in keeping Russians out of San Francisco Bay between 1809 and 1811, going so far as to order his men to shoot to kill Alutiiq hunting parties (Ogden 1941, 54-55). Commander Argüello may not have been willing to let Russians hunt otter in his jurisdiction, yet by 1812 when the Russians settled Fort Ross north of San Francisco, rumors abounded that cash-strapped Argüello traded flour from his jurisdiction’s missions to the Russians (Duggan 2016, 69). 25Seizure of Mercury, AGI, Estado 31, No 28, foja 78.

Wait what Philip was part of a literature society??

Yep, It was a Literature Society composed mainly of boys in their early twenties. It looks as though the members belonged to the same generational group, and were all rather acquainted with each other. A reappearing pattern being that; most of them were from New York, studied law, and graduated from Columbia in the 1790s.

“About this time, Mr. Jones was a member of a literary society, (of which the late Peter A. Jay was president,) composed, among others, of Nathan Sandford, Charles Baldwin, John Ferguson, Jas. Alexander, Rudolph Bunner, Goveurneur Ogden, the first Philip Hamilton, William Bard, Wm. A. Duer, Philip Church, John Duer, and Beverley Robinson; of whom the last five are the only survivors.”

(source — Memorial of the Late Honorable David S. Jones: With an Appendix, Containing Notices of the Jones Family, of Queen's County, by William Alfred Jones)

SCOTUS - two-thirds Catholic.

Sick Catholics

The list of global right-wing Catholics is long and powerful: the decades old international activities of Opus Dei, recent authoritarians Steve Bannon and William Barr, Federalist Society activists Leonard Leo and Don McGahn, supreme court Justices Samuel Alito and Amy Coney Barrett, to name but a few.

Roman Christianity provides a secure comfort zone for deeply traumatized narcissists. It is glutted with an ample supply of oxytocin sources. The most important of these is the Mass in all its forms, but especially the more ornate ones, with ample flashes of ornate gold implements, odiferous wax candles and incense, ancient exotic vestments, sonorous song, the iconic pipe organ, and frequent settings of hypnotic architecture (St. Peter’s basilica in Rome is the crowning achievement). Ceremonial entrancements and just general mumbo-jumbo are a stock in trade. (I have been there, done that.)

Oxytocin is the powerful analgesic that alleviates pervasive bodily pain of early emotional injury. The more pain and injury, the more addictive is the adherence to Roman practices. Addictive adherence produces a projective-regressive-dissociative set of beliefs that we can call sectarian faith. It is rigidly boundaried and hostile to all other forms of projective-regressive-dissociative faith.

This kind of faith conceives of god and spiritual realities as the unfinished relationships of childhood. It takes all those memories of harsh child-rearing and projects them out onto the world as divinely inspired truths. It has suppressed and is completely out of touch with all the pain from these imprints and the parts of time and the body that carry them. Therefore, the behavior associated with this kind of faith is ruled by ideas rather than empathic perception, and so it can perform all manner of insensitive cruelties in the name of orthodoxy and truth.

Charismatic Catholicism is a particularly intense form of this narcissism.

The 1975 International Conference on the Charismatic renewal in the Catholic Church……under Bernini's golden Chair of Peter and facing the bronze balustrade of the high altar, we chatted softly among ourselves, craning our necks from time to time to see if he were coming yet. Moments before, Cardinal Suenens had finished celebrating the Liturgy from that high altar -- a singular privilege at the time -- and very soon the Pope was to address this throng. It was an historic event and … I was a part of it all. During that Liturgy, charismatic clergymen had pronounced inspired prophecies from that altar, and the sounds of charismatic hymns and the complex melodic patterns of singing in tongues had filled St. Peter's, and the Church - in the person of Pope Paul VI himself - would soon welcome us warmly, indeed, enthusiastically… [Adrian Reimers, Cultic Studies Journal, 1986]

So, pain is the source of charismatic experience. The whole exercise is an out-of-body trance that provides complete (but temporary) escape from the damage of trauma imprints. Moreover, in one of those brilliant blinding tricks of spin so often carried out by the severely traumatized, charismatics call their dissociation: “the direct personal experience of God through baptism with the Holy Spirit.”

“For most of us the charismatic experience was a welcome proof that all those things that we once believed in - the power and majesty of God, the reality of the Risen Lord, miracles, healing, effective prayer - were still real.” Most of what you see in a charismatic / Pentecostal service is built around getting to “the experience”. [Reimers]

But the true nature of the dissociation is an impulse to escape from one’s body, the carrier of trauma imprints:

“For traumatized individuals, body awareness can be problematic in a variety of ways.” (Ogden, Trauma and the Body)

“Part of the dynamic of trauma is that it cuts us off from our internal experience as a way of protecting our organism from sensations and emotions that could be overwhelming.” (Levine, Waking the Tiger.)

“Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies are constantly bombarded by visceral warning signs, and, in an attempt to control these processes, they often become expert at ignoring their gut feelings and in numbing awareness of what is played out inside. They learn to hide from their selves. Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

So, Roman Christianity is a cornucopia of oxytocin, a perfect hiding place for the darkest forces of authoritarian consciousness.
