Blogging on Education and Life Skills
Anne Evans, (1820–1870)
The summer sward is somewhat hard
Methinks as here I lie;
Yet here I stay, because I love
To look into the sky,
To place behind me for a while
The world and all its ill.
And gaze into the space of space,
How pure, and O, how still!

Joan of Arc
Cohen
Songs Of Love And Hate
“Joan of Arc” by Leonard Cohen is a hauntingly beautiful song from his 1971 album Songs of Love and Hate. The lyrics depict a dialogue between Joan of Arc and the fire that consumes her, symbolizing her martyrdom and spiritual journey.
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
As she came riding through the dark
No moon to keep her armor bright
No man to get her through this very smoky night …

Bob Dylan directly references Joan of Arc in his song “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.” In this song, he includes the line:
I met a young woman whose body was burning …
This line is widely interpreted as a reference to Joan of Arc, who was burned at the stake.
Dylan uses this imagery to evoke powerful and tragic historical events, blending them into his broader narrative of social and political turmoil.

Exploring the Cosmos with David Kipping
David Kipping is a prominent figure in the field of astronomy and astrophysics, currently serving as an assistant professor at Columbia University. His research primarily focuses on the fascinating realms of extrasolar planets, moons, and rings, as well as stellar rotation and limb darkening¹.
Kipping’s journey into the cosmos began with his B.A. and M.Sc. in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University, followed by a Ph.D. from University College London¹. His postdoctoral work at Harvard, supported by the Sagan and Menzel fellowships, further solidified his expertise in observational astronomy¹.
At Columbia, Kipping leads the Cool Worlds Lab, where he and his team delve into the mysteries of the universe, seeking to uncover new worlds beyond our solar system¹. His work has not only advanced our understanding of exoplanets and exomoons but also inspired many through his engaging presentations and educational content on the Cool Worlds YouTube channel².
Kipping’s dedication to exploring the unknown and his ability to communicate complex scientific concepts to the public make him a standout figure in modern astronomy. His contributions continue to push the boundaries of our knowledge, bringing us closer to answering some of the most profound questions about our place in the universe.

Jordan B. Peterson is a clinical psychologist and professor. He is known for his thought-provoking interviews. In a recent conversation with Piers Morgan, Peterson delved into various topics such as free speech, truth, and personal responsibility². He also discussed his meeting with football star Cristiano Ronaldo, who sought his advice, and responded to criticisms from public figures like Olivia Wilde².
Peterson’s interviews often explore deep philosophical and psychological concepts, challenging both the interviewer and the audience to think critically about societal norms and individual behavior. His ability to articulate complex ideas in an accessible manner has made him a prominent figure in contemporary discourse.
In Europe JBP is hardly known as he was attacked by the left and named a right wing intellectual as he asked for free speech on campus.
In some Unis around the globe his invitations were cancelled because of left wing protests.

All or Nothing to save the Republic!
Congrats and very relieved for sure …
Smart children cannot stop asking why.
Some adults, according to their own education and childhood, might become very angry and answer in short
Could you please stop asking stupid questions?
Are there any stupid questions anyway?
Well, after teaching high schools for 35 years, I must admit, there are some stupid questions. However, blocking smart children from asking their questions is not a very good idea at all.
Because they will always try to find an answer how the world is working, or, in the words of the German Shakespeare, Johann Wolfgang Goethe
Was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält.
So, why is a very smart question, and telling kids to shut up might be necessary from time to time; however, telling them why you are not able to answer their question at a certain moment in time is always a good idea.

The fact is…
The brains of the superagers in a given area appeared to be very healthy; they also have another special feature, reports Düzel:
An area of the anterior part of the cingulate gyrus was relatively large in comparison.
This is a region that is associated with perseverance and the ability to maintain effort.
“This could be the basis for super-agers living a healthier lifestyle.”
But not everyone who lives a healthy life becomes a superager, emphasises Düzell. BECAUSE …

John F. Kennedy and Frank Sinatra had a complex and multifaceted relationship that evolved over time. Initially, they shared a mutual admiration and friendship that was beneficial to both. Sinatra was instrumental in supporting Kennedy’s presidential campaign, even changing the lyrics of his song “High Hopes” to promote JFK’s candidacy². They both enjoyed the company of celebrities and were known for their charm and charisma.
Sinatra’s influence was used to attract other high-profile entertainers to support Kennedy, and he organized a pre-inauguration gala that was a significant event¹. Their friendship, however, began to strain due to Sinatra’s alleged connections with the Mafia, which became a concern for Kennedy, especially given his brother Robert’s aggressive campaign against organized crime⁵.
The breaking point in their relationship came when Sinatra had a private suite and helipad built at his home in anticipation of a visit by the president. However, due to the advice of Robert Kennedy and the potential political fallout from Sinatra’s mob associations, the visit was canceled, and the friendship suffered⁵. Sinatra was said to have taken a sledgehammer to the helipad after the snub by the president⁴.

Frank Sinatra Jr., was indeed taken hostage in a kidnapping incident. On December 8, 1963, Frank Sinatra Jr., who was just beginning his music career, was performing at Harrah’s Club Lodge in Lake Tahoe when he was abducted by a group of amateur criminals¹. The kidnappers were Barry Keenan and Joe Amsler, who had been plotting the crime for several weeks, aiming to demand a hefty ransom from Sinatra Sr.
The abduction took place just days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, adding to the national atmosphere of shock and turmoil. Sinatra Jr. was taken from his dressing room at gunpoint, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of $240,000¹. Frank Sinatra Sr. complied with the demand, and the ransom was paid through a drop between two school buses in Sepulveda, California¹.
The kidnappers, however, became anxious and decided to release Sinatra Jr. after just over two days. He was found unharmed, walking through Bel Air, and was quickly brought to his mother Nancy’s home to avoid the press². The FBI was involved in the case, and the ransom money was tracked, leading to the arrest of the kidnappers¹.
The incident was highly publicized and became one of the most infamous kidnappings in American history. It also sparked rumors and conspiracy theories, but ultimately, it was a traumatic event for the Sinatra family, and Frank Sinatra Jr. continued his career in music after the ordeal¹².
