    Brainy Quote ~ Benjamin Franklin 026

    Brainy Quote ~ Benjamin Franklin 026 “If you would be loved, love, and be loveable.” ~ Benjamin Franklin 026 ~ Ok “Jika Anda ingin dicintai, mencintailah, dan jadilah seorang yang dapat dicintai.” ~ Benjamin Franklin 026 ~ Ok Apakah Anda ingin dicintai? Mampukah Anda mencintai orang lain sebagaimana Anda ingin dicintai? Tahukah Anda bagaimana cara mencintai? Dapatkah Anda dicintai seperti Anda ingin mencintai orang lain? Mencintai dan dicintai merupakah dua kondisi yang saling mendukung dan berada dalam posisi seimbang. Seseorang yang ingin dicintai maka ia harus mampu mencintai. Demikian juga, seseorang yang mau mencintai, maka ia pun harus dapat dicintai. Demikianlah yang pernah disampaikan Benjamin Franklin, dikenal sebagai Bapak Pendiri Amerika Serikat, berkebangsaan Amerika, hidup dalam rentang tahun 1706-1790, melalui quote-nya, ‘If you would be loved, love, and be loveable.’ Secara bebas diterjemahkan, ‘Jika Anda ingin dicintai, mencintailah, dan jadilah seorang yang dapat dicintai.’ Cintai merupakan dua arah! Saling mencintai merupakan wujud bila kita memiliki cinta dan kita dapat memperoleh cinta. Setiap orang yang dapat saling berbagi dan saling meneguhkan merupakan buah dari cinta sejati. Tidak ada cinta satu arah! Hal yang sulit kita mau mencintai bila kita sendiri tidak mau dicintai. Demikian juga, hal yang mustahil kita memperoleh cinta bila kita pun tidak berniat untuk mencintai. Tuhan telah menganugerahkan cinta kasih kepada manusia. Maka sudah seyogyanya kita mampu mencintai semua ciptaan-Nya, terutama sesama manusia. Orang-orang yang dipenuhi cinta kasih adalah orang-orang kaya, terlepas dari kekayaan harta benda yang dimilikinya. Seseorang yang kaya raya secara materi dan kebendaan, bila ia tidak memiliki cinta kasih, sesungguhnya ia orang yang miskin. Brainy Quote ~ Benjamin Franklin 026 Page 1 Kita mampu mencintai bila kita juga mau dicintai.
  • The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen

    The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen

    THE TWENTY GREATEST MUSIC CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN Whew, I'm done. Let me remind everyone how this worked. I would go through my Ipod in that weird Ipod alphabetical order and when I would come upon an artist that I have seen live, I would replay that concert in my head. (BTW, since this segment started I no longer even have an ipod. All my music is on my laptop and phone now.) The number you see at the end of the concert description is the number of times I have seen that artist live. If it was multiple times, I would do my best to describe the one concert that I considered to be their best. If no number appears, it means I only saw that artist once. Mind you, I have seen many artists live that I do not have a song by on my Ipod. That artist is not represented here. So although the final number of concerts I have seen came to 828 concerts (wow, 828!), the number is actually higher. And there are "bar" bands and artists (like LeCompt and Sam Butera, for example) where I have seen them perform hundreds of sets, but I counted those as "one," although I have seen Lecompt in "concert" also. Any show you see with the four stars (****) means they came damn close to being one of the Top Twenty, but they fell just short. So here's the Twenty. Enjoy and thanks so much for all of your input. And don't sue me if I have a date wrong here and there.

  • The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century

    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century

    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’s Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David W. Young Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Saul Cornell David Steigerwald Copyright by David W. Young 2009 Abstract This dissertation examines how public history and historic preservation have changed during the twentieth century by examining the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1683, Germantown is one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, with resonant landmarks related to the nation’s political, military, industrial, and cultural history. Efforts to preserve the historic sites of the neighborhood have resulted in the presence of fourteen historic sites and house museums, including sites owned by the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the City of Philadelphia. Germantown is also a neighborhood where many of the ills that came to beset many American cities in the twentieth century are easy to spot. The 2000 census showed that one quarter of its citizens live at or below the poverty line. Germantown High School recently made national headlines when students there attacked a popular teacher, causing severe injuries. Many businesses and landmark buildings now stand shuttered in community that no longer can draw on the manufacturing or retail economy it once did. Germantown’s twentieth century has seen remarkably creative approaches to contemporary problems using historic preservation at their core.

  • Proposed Bridge Toll and PATCO Fare Schedules

    Proposed Bridge Toll and PATCO Fare Schedules

    Proposed Bridge Toll and PATCO Fare Schedules July 2008 Dear DRPA and PATCO Customers: Thank you for your interest in the Delaware River Port Authority and Port Authority Transit Corporation. We appreciate the opportunity to present to you the proposed changes to the toll and fare structures. For the last several years, we have committed to cost-savings measures that have enabled us to operate without changes to our toll or fare structures. However, we now face a very challenging time as our future needs will require us to find additional revenue sources to fund our Capital Program which is critical to maintaining the safety, security and serviceability of our assets. We are confident that with the feedback received from you, our customers, we will be able to propose a plan to our Board of Commissioners that will enable us to face the challenges that lie ahead. We value your opinion and look forward to your comments and suggestions. Yours truly, John J. Matheussen Chief Executive Officer, Delaware River Port Authority President, Port Authority Transit Corporation The Delaware River Port Authority The Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is a regional transportation agency. DRPA’s lines of business, collectively called “the Authority,” operate under the motto “We Keep the Region Moving.” DRPA traces its roots back to 1919 when leaders from the two states began planning for a bridge across the Delaware River. That bridge, now known as the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, was once the longest suspension bridge in the world. Today, more than 80 years after its opening, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge remains a key transportation artery and a regional landmark.
