Winter Solstice
Vol. 12 No. 4
By Anthony J. Sanders
The
Geminids, were initially reported by the International
Meteor Organization (IMO) to have peaked at 140 meteors an hour on 14 December,
edging out the Perseids, with around 137 meteors an
hour in the northern hemisphere on August 13 2012, but after being completely
disappointed after an hour in the morning cold of 15 December, the Geminid peak was revised downward to 122. The Perseids therefore
reclaim the crown from the Geminids who peaked at a
phenomenal rate of 600 meteors an hour in December 2011. The Geminids meteor
shower is normally entirely derived of debris from the minor planet (asteroid) 3200
Phaethon but in 2011 and 2012 the display was augmented with debris from Comet Wirtanan which orbits the sun in a little more than five
years. Mayan creation date falls on my
sister and my birthday August 11, so it is fitting that the Perseids
would win. Her highness, my sister, is
relieved, to regain the throne, and the bonfire is at her place, across the
road from where we celebrated the winter solstice last year. Maybe there will be another winter solstice bonfire
there this year; there are more than enough logs and friends to visit on that
inherited mountainside. I have been
thinking about buying the land I am camping on but doubt the paperwork would
make it more mine than the silence of the thieving young bear who has so far
been too lazy to attempt to climb the tree to get at the hanging food, and
selection of the deeper dig out of sight of the mansions overlooking the planter
furnished garden for which Nicotiana tabacum and N. rustica seeds have been offered to compliment the
garlic and organic red clover that haven’t sprouted yet. There are a fiberoptic
cable, power line and irrigation ditch conveniently nearby. Is there anyone in North America able to throw
a winter solstice party competitive with Chichen Itza? While the Maya did not excel at every science,
their naked eye astronomical observations are considered the best. Although there is no official explanation for
the abandonment of their great cities, such as Tikal that had a population as
high as 800,000, scientists presume that it is the result of the exhaustion of
large game and a few bad agricultural years.
I would furthermore like to speculate that hygiene must not have been very understood because at least in Chichen
Itza, the Mayan priests contaminated their well by throwing the corpses of their
human sacrifices into the cenote. The Aztecs were the greediest cannibals in
history and seem to have held their city at the cost of tens of thousands of
neighbors annually. Whatever the reason,
the abandonment of Mayan cities seems to be the finest lesson for modern
families to enjoy better health and longevity in rural communities. It is too bad they burned so many codices in
front of the cathedral at Mani in the Yucatan, where a German friend studied
with a Mayan shaman, for which he was elected class president by the Yucatecan anthropology school. The papal library fee must be even more than
my mud and sweat destroyed books this 2012, I am budgeting for as many as $100
of these accidentally damaged books in 2013 and shall be more careful.
Winter Solstice Dissolution of Hospitals
& Asylums (HA) Political Party Relating to the Mayan Long Count HA-21-12-12
Done
24 November 2012. Flood proof logging road
runoff party on state death row subsequently cancelled on account of vandalism
and looting. Freshman
principle of political science - Not in My Back Yard (NIMBY). The end of the…Mayan Great Calendar occurs on
the winter solstice on December 21, 2012.
According to the correlation between the
5,125 year Long Count and Western calendars accepted by the great majority of
Maya researchers (known as the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson, or GMT, correlation), this Mayan creation date 4 Ahaw, 8 Kumk’u is equivalent to
August 11 (my birthday), 3114 BCE in the proleptic
Gregorian calendar we use today. Inspired by the shadow of the serpent descending
the Temple of the Sun and sun descending along the edge of the stone box on the
roof of el Caracol at the ruins of Chichen Itza during equinox 1994 I have been publishing the
Hospitals & Asylums (HA) newsletter yearly, equinox and solstice (yes),
without interruption since 2000, online, with another monthly newsletter, since
December 2004. Since three personal
acquaintances ran for local political office, without any political party
affiliation, and my namesake, Senator Bernie Sanders, is the only independent
in Congress, inspired but unsatisfied with the Tea Party and Occupy I am toying
with the idea of Hospitals & Asylums Political Party 2013 (HAPPY). It is an auspicious time for HA. The Perseid meteors
of August 2012, with a peak of around 120-130 meteors per hour, edged out the Leonids of November, with 110-120 meteors per hour, and is
the largest meteor shower since 600-700 Geminids fell
per hour December 2011. Because the lesson we have to teach the major political
parties is dissolution and we want to be nonviolent and healthy, at all times,
so the arts might flourish, and social networking remains out of reach (the
athletic-scholar), our form of reunion shall be dissolution, for six months of
formal study of the Party line (depending on your State), until you may be
registered as a HA party candidate with your election board. For the occasion,
I have constructed a TARP winter shelter to host a winter solstice party with
which to ask the public authority for permission to camp, pay $47 billion for
the entire Housing and Urban Development (HUD) budget FY 2013 and retroactively
return around $300 billion in repaid TARP loans to the General Fund to sustain
the Federal Budget Balanced to Prevent
Debt from Exceeding 100% of GDP FY 2012, do justice and serve as temporary
party headquarters until the FDA adopts the Center for Alcohol, Tobacco and
Marijuana (ATM).
Sandy Relief HA-15-12-12
Hurricane Sandy was a hurricane that devastated portions of
the Caribbean and the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern
United States during late October 2012, with lesser impacts in
Southeastern and Midwestern states and Eastern
Canada. The storm became the
largest Atlantic hurricane on record (as measured by diameter, with
winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km)). Preliminary estimates of
losses due to damage and business interruption are estimated at $65.6 billion
(2012 USD), which would make it the second-costliest Atlantic hurricane,
behind only Hurricane Katrina. At least 253 people were killed along the
path of the storm in seven countries. In
the United States, Hurricane Sandy affected 24 states, including the entire
eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine and west across the
Appalachian Mountains to Michigan and Wisconsin, with
particularly severe damage in New Jersey and New York.
Its storm surge hit New York City on October 29, flooding
streets, tunnels and subway lines and cutting power in and around the
city. Damage in the US is estimated at over $63 billion (2012 USD). One
factor contributing to the storm's strength was additional energy from
abnormally warm water off the North American East Coast, where global warming
was identified as contributing 0.6°C of the 3°C above normal sea surface
temperatures. The recent record decline in Arctic sea ice could be
responsible. In conclusion, to apologize for
the miserly delinquency of federal payments for disaster relief for Hurricane
Sandy, a $75 billion settlement is provided, above and beyond the $63 billion
requested, in November, including $1 billion for affected Caribbean nations and
another $1 billion for Haiti, to sustain this level of support for the poorest
nation in the Americas, and make up for the continuing losses to vandalism and
looting incited by the bipartisan “fiscal cliff” hallucination deluding the
national priority of Sandy relief. The FY2012 HA budget finances $75 billion for the cooperative
administration of the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and US
Agency for International Development (USAID) by transferring $43.4 billion
from the Transportation Department (TD) and $46.4 billion from the Education
Department (ED) for a total of $89 billion from whence $74 billion shall be
credited to FEMA and $2 billion to USAID for Hurricane Sandy relief and $14
billion shall be returned to reduce Obama's FY 2012 deficit from $1,327 billion
to $1,313 billion and increase the HA deficit from $412 billion to $473
billion. It is important that the Transportation
and Education Departments are relieved of these FY 2012 budget, so that their
budgets are stabilized at 3 percent annual growth from FY 2008. It is furthermore reiterated in un-hacked and
clear terms that – (1) FEMA
expenditures should be accounted for annually in the OMB Office of the
President Column and (2) FEMA and USAID should coordinate international
disaster relief from a shared small office in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital reminded
to care for the true name of U.S. Customs (aka Homeland Security).
Medicinal Herbs and
Probiotics HA-31-10-12
One out of every three
adult Americans uses complementary/alternative medical care. Sales
of botanicals have increased more than 300 percent since the 1990s and
currently are an $8 billion industry. Plants relating to human
health fall into three categories: those which injure, those which heal and
nourish, and those which alter the conscious mind. Herbs are so
potent and flavorful that they do not need much space, many
are wayside weeds and invasive plants, which is good for beginning
gardeners. My interest in medicinal herbs is primarily culinary in
nature - to better supplement my vegan diet in order to improve flavor,
nutrition, athletic performance, cavity prevention, and stop the diarrhea and malabsorption that began after using antibiotics
heavily to recover from four years of heart disease, last year. Vegans
face a low risk of death from heart disease, diabetes or cancer but must eat
frequently and supplement appropriately as they quickly become deficient in
calories, and under the stress of illness requiring antibiotic treatment,
deficient in both Vitamin B-12, which causes chronic diarrhea and the mineral
Phosphorus, which causes cavities, because in nature they are only found in
animal products, which have deadlier consequences. Part A catalogues
photos of 33 medicinal spices and herbs easily cultivated or purchased in most
of North America, 13 adaptogens, 13 probiotic
cultures, psychoactive and toxic plants; Part B indicates herbal remedies for
common conditions, Part C recounts the history of medicine and Part D adds
herbal tea and probiotics to a rice and green leafy vegetable diet for optimum
health. The primary lesson is to consume billions of probiotic
organisms within two hours of taking antibiotics and everyday for
two weeks thereafter. Furthermore, four cups a day of herbal tea,
typically a concoction of every herb available with the necessary medicinal
qualities, either as a substitute or complement to pharmaceutical medicine,
seems to be the best way to ensure the drinking water is boiled and
nourishing.

Book 10 Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH)
To transfer Chapter 1
Navy Hospitals, Army and Navy Hospitals, and Hospital Relief for Seamen and
Other §1-40 to Chapter 10 Armed Forces Retirement
Home §400-435. The Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) houses
approximately 1,600 veterans at the U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home (USSAH in
Washington D.C. and the U.S. Naval Home (USNH) in Gulfport, Mississippi. At
an average age of 76, the largest percentage of residents, 80% are WWII
veterans, 30% in Korea and 10% in Vietnam. The average length of
stay is 10.6 years. The Naval Home was established in the Naval
Hospitals Act of Feb. 26, 1811 by Paul Hamilton of South Carolina, secretary of
the Navy, under President James Madison. The charter was to provide
a permanent asylum for old and disabled naval officers, seamen and
Marines. The Naval Home was however not officially opened until 1834
after James Fillebrown, Secretary of
Commissioners of Navy Hospitals appealed his embezzlement conviction to the
Supreme Court in 1833, it was known as the Naval Asylum until the name was
changed to the Naval Home in 1880. The Soldier’s Home was
established in 1851, as an asylum for old and disabled veterans. It
was at the Soldier’s Home that President Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation
Proclamation. The Soldiers’ Home began admitting airmen in 1917 and
officially changed its name to Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home in 1972. The
Naval Home was initially funded by contributions from the active force. This
contribution was augmented by all fines imposed upon persons of the Navy and
was the principal source of monies for the Naval Hospital Fund/Pension Fund.
The Pension Fund also received all money accruing from the sale of prizes of
war. For nearly 100 years these monies funded the Naval Home. In
1934, the Pension Fund was abolished by Congress and the proceeds were
deposited into the U.S. Treasury. From 1935 until 1991, the Naval Home was
funded by Navy appropriations. Today, it is funded by monthly withholding from
active duty troops, fines and forfeitures, interest off the Trust Fund and
resident fees, to incorporate the oldest and newest HA laws; Quiz…1583
