One of my journal archive files is a file I used to store what I formerly referred to sometimes as my offline journal.
I stopped recording in my offline journal in the year 2011.
Beginning with the date 3/9/2009 there is a significant gap in the posts I made in that offline journal. The formatting looks all right. That seems to be simply a point where I stopped making notes in that file.
The next recorded date is 5/14/2009, which was 66 days later.

somebody was meeting with Bill Gates and his wife in a dream I just woke up from and stumbled around after I got up. I feel incredibly bad after waking up. Melinda Gates was whispering to me that "his idea" was on or online or so. Bill Gates was talking with a modified voice. There was something about the roof of some Microsoft building. I saw towels and wash clothes scattered on the floor sometime during that meeting with Bill Gates. There might have been an undercover agent at sometime around that time talking to some of the people involved.

MIT News
Bob Langer named an Institute Professor
Elizabeth A. Thomson, News Office
March 2, 2005
Robert S. Langer, the Germeshausen Professor of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, has been named Institute Professor, the highest honor awarded by the MIT faculty and administration.
The title of Institute Professor is reserved for those few individuals who have "demonstrated exceptional distinction by a combination of leadership, accomplishment and service in the scholarly, educational and general intellectual life of the Institute or wider academic community," according to MIT's Policies and Procedures manual. With Langer's appointment, there are now 15 Institute Professors.
"I cannot imagine an individual more deserving than Bob of recognition as an Institute Professor," said Robert C. Armstrong, the Chevron Professor and head of the Department of Chemical Engineering. "He is not only a great example to the world of MIT's excellence in research, but is also a great faculty colleague and teacher and mentor of our students at home. His enormous professional stature and his broad value and engagement across units of MIT are both important attributes of an Institute Professor."

Statement by Bill Gates on Receiving an Honorary Knighthood
LONDON -- Bill Gates, co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft Corp., made the following statement on receiving an honorary knighthood from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II today:
"I am humbled and delighted. I’m particularly pleased that this honour helps recognise the real heroes our foundation supports to improve health in poor countries. Their incredible work is helping ensure that one day all people — no matter where they are born — will have the same opportunity for a healthy life, and I’m grateful to share this honour with them.
“This honour is particularly poignant given the deep connections Microsoft enjoys with the United Kingdom. Over the past 23 years we have benefited greatly from strong business alliances and the tremendous wealth of talent and creativity of our UK employees and researchers. The UK was the first country in which Microsoft set up a subsidiary outside the US, and our experience in the UK has been significant in shaping our international growth. The companies and organisations that we have supported and partnered with since, and their employees, have been an important part of the positive impact technology has had on economic growth and on the lives of people in the UK. I am proud of this special relationship and the role we have helped to play in the development of the UK technology industry.”
According to the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the honorary knighthood recognizes Gates’ contributions to improving health and reducing poverty in parts of the Commonwealth and elsewhere in the developing world. Gates also was recognized for his contribution to enterprise, employment, education and the voluntary sector in the United Kingdom.
Microsoft employs nearly 2,000 people in the United Kingdom. The company also supports a strong ecosystem of 17,000 partner businesses that have helped spur technology growth and adaptation in the UK economy. In addition, Microsoft Research Cambridge was Microsoft’s first research laboratory to be established outside the United States. The lab was set up in July 1997 and today employs 80 world-class researchers.
Her Majesty conferred the honour in a private ceremony held at Buckingham Palace. Gates was accompanied by his wife, Melinda Gates, co-founder of the foundation.
Later in the day, Gates will speak on a panel at the Wellcome Trust titled “Global Health: Putting Science to Work for the Developing World.” The panel will focus on innovative approaches to increasing research on diseases of the developing world, including strategies to engage private industry in global health research.
About Microsoft
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realise their full potential.
About Honorary Knighthoods
Honorary knighthoods are awarded by the Queen, on the advice of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office, to those who have made an important contribution to British interests.

The American Presidency Project
Jimmy Carter
XXXIX President of the United States: 1977 - 1981
National Religious Broadcasters Remarks at the Association's Annual Convention.
January 21, 1980
Thank you very much, Dr. Hofer, Dr. Armstrong, Larnelle Harris, members and friends of the National Religious Broadcasters, ladies and gentlemen:
I have been very excited ever since I accepted the invitation to come here to have a chance to meet all you famous people. [Laughter]
Not too long ago at the White House one of your members came to see me, and he said, "Mr. President, I have watched you several times lately as you've performed on television." And he said, "I think before you make your State of the Union message it would benefit you a lot to come to the National Religious Broadcasters meeting and get a few pointers." [Laughter] So, here I am.
As you may know, this is an election year and— [laughter] —it's going to be quite different from the last one in 1976, not particularly because I'm an incumbent, although that will make a difference, but I decided on the way over here that I'm going to turn over to you one of the tremendous responsibilities that I had in 1976. This year I'm going to let you spend your full time explaining what it means to be born again. [Laughter]
Almost exactly 3 years ago, I took the oath of office as President of the United States of America. It was a responsibility that I sought with all my ability, and I have tried with the same degree of commitment to carry out my duties as President. I've sought to mold the policies and the programs of our Nation to meet the needs of each transient moment, to prepare our Nation for the future, which we can only dimly see. And I have, as never before in my life, had to rely on God's help.
As President, I have been privileged to meet great people, famous people—men and women of great faith, men and women of no faith. I have had a chance to worship with fellow believers who share with me the deepest possible personal faith and the common traditions that bind all of us together. I have had a chance to talk about the Gideons' work and Bibles with the Vice Premier of the People's Republic of China, Deng Xiaoping, and about the need for him to open up the gates of China once again for missionaries to bear the word.
I've shared my faith with leaders of Korea, Poland, and other nations that I've visited. And I've found a sense of brotherhood with a Moslem leader of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, and a Jewish leader of Israel, Menahem Begin, as we worked together trying to find the ideal of Christ: peace on Earth. I have had a chance for private and personal worship and prayer, with friends .and others, in the seclusion of my home at the White House and also at Camp David.
Rosalynn and I read the Bible together every night, not as some sort of mystical guidebook, as some might think, to give us quick and simple answers to every problem of a nation or personal life, but because we find new insights and new inspirations in this present job in passages that we have read and known and loved ever since childhood.
I'm glad that the Bible does not tell us just about mighty warriors or great prophets or wise leaders. It also tells us about sinful men and women, men like the Disciples—sometimes stubborn, reluctant, selfish, weak, struggling with their own fears and failures and lack of faith. Yet with God's help, they were able to do great things.
I am thankful that God has always done his work through imperfect human beings, seeing the strength, the need—what was an apparent weakness—and the potential beneath what seemed to be their human fallibilities and failures, and the courage that existed beneath their fear. Only when they realized their own personal limitations could God work fully in their lives.
The seventies, which have just concluded, has been called the decade of the "Me Generation," but there's evidence that even in the frantic effort for personal self-gratification, there is a longing for meaning and purpose; there's a hunger for things which do not change.
Not long ago I was in South Korea, and I went to church in what was formally an abandoned airport, where 1 million people had come to hear Billy Graham preach about Christ. And not long ago I was in Chicago, in a site where 1 1/2 million people came to worship with Pope John Paul II.
Sometimes, however, a search even for a religious faith and religious meaning can be distorted into terrible acts, as the recent experiences have shown us. The urge to believe is so strong that faith has great power, even when it's perverted into terrorism and tyranny. We see it sometimes in fanatical acts of cruelty and repression, in the name of religion, all around the world. The hungry, the homeless, the hostages are all testimonies of man's continued capacity for evil. Yet we see in this world the great urge of people, decent people, to ease suffering. We see nations and institutions within nations and individuals within institutions giving their time and their effort and their money, even their lives, to make a life more viable and a life more livable for an entire struggling population that might be starving or for a single homeless child.
Our Nation, the United States, has been especially blessed; yet, in our own abundance and freedom we are too quick to complain and to turn aside from our principles and ideals when the pressures of everyday life bear heavy on us. We often are like the children of Israel who were delivered from Egypt and provided manna every day by God, but who complained about the discipline and who coveted the fish and the melons that they had left behind in Egypt, while forgetting the slavery. Like the children of Israel, we cannot always know where the road will lead. God does give us guidance, but he does not provide roadmaps with a sure and certain destination.
Our Nation now is faced with serious challenges and choices which may require sacrifice, even from those assembled here in this great hall. But it's important that we keep our perspective and realize what is truly valuable. It is not a sacrifice to give up waste. It's not a sacrifice to submit to God's will. It's not a sacrifice to care for others or to struggle for peace or to tell the truth. We need not look at the problems of today as a reason for fear. This Nation was built by men and women who dared to strike out on new paths, to face any challenge, and who saw change in their lives—which might have been frightful-as an opportunity. They held onto enduring values as they opened up new worlds for them and later on for us. There's no way that we can recapture now their world 200 years later, but we can recapture their spirit of unity and of mutual concern, and we can also share their faith.
A television station or the Oval Office is a powerful pulpit. Our influence as individuals can be greatly magnified. And as we realize the tremendous audiences that we have, humility does not come naturally.
The one measure of greatness is how we best exemplify the high principles of those whom we served and whom we serve now. You and I serve Christ. I also serve America. And I have never found in my own life any incompatibility between these two responsibilities for service. My biggest concern, I know as yours is, is that I might never betray those whom I have been called upon to serve.
The next month and years will not be easy, but I know that God never promised us freedom would be easy, only that it was worth the cost. God does not promise to make us perfect here on Earth, just to forgive our sins. God never promised a life without a cross, just the strength to bear our burdens.
Our Nation, in these troubled and fastchanging technological times, is hungry for the truth. You here tonight as religious broadcasters have a great responsibility. Millions of people listen to your voices and watch your programs. You have an awesome power to shape public opinion, to teach, to educate, and to implant ideas in many human minds. Even more than those in commercial broadcasting, you must take the time, pay the price to give, while you are on the air, a true message.
Since I've been in Washington, I've come to learn much more clearly what Paul meant when he said that we should pray without ceasing. I do pray a lot every day, as I move from one event to another, as I wait for a new foreign leader or a national leader to come in my office, as I decide issues that might affect the life of one person or a small community or, perhaps, sometimes even the. entire world. And I do not always make the right decision, because I do not always follow God's will. But someone has said that truth often rides on the back of error. We are learning together. How can we serve better? How can our lives be more meaningful? How can we and the people that listen to our voice be challenged and inspired to reach for greatness?
I'm strengthened by the prayers of others, of those I love, and of people throughout this Nation whom I will never meet. Even when people do not agree with me on a particular stand I take and might be severely critical, they still keep praying for me because I'm President. I need those prayers, and I need help to build a nation and, perhaps, a world of freedom and justice and opportunity, of law and community, where our knowledge and power and wealth in this Nation can be used to feed the hungry, to heal the sick, to strengthen families, and to husband and save the vast resources that God has given us in our beautiful and bountiful land.
As President, I often think about the story of Moses at Rephaim, which you know very well. The children of Israel were murmuring against Moses, and as soon as he would solve one problem, another one would arise. Then, as you know, Amalek attacked. And while Joshua led Israel's soldiers, Moses stood on a high hill. And under God's direction, as long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites prevailed, and when he let his hands down, Amalek prevailed against them. They fought on all through the day, and Moses' arms grew weary. And then late in the afternoon, Aaron and Hur got stones. And they came, and one stood on each side, and they held up his arms, and Moses' hands were steady until sundown, and the Israelites prevailed.
No matter how strong his will, no matter how strong his desire, a President cannot carry out his responsibilities alone. But I have found that when my own arms grow weary, there are those on each side, on many sides, to hold up my hands. And I always thank God for the responsibilities that I have, and I always thank God for the help that I receive.
Thank you very much.
Note: The President spoke at 7:04 p.m. in the International Ballroom at the Washington Hilton Hotel.

Wichita State University
Original Pizza Hut
When the pizza craze started sweeping the nation in the late 1950s, two young college students, attending the University of Wichita at the time, opened the first Pizza Hut restaurant on June 15, 1958. Brothers Frank and Dan Carney had been approached by the owner of a small building at the corner of Kellogg and Bluff, who wanted a nice neighborhood business to locate there and she had read a November 1957 Saturday Evening Post article about the pizza craze. The building's structure influenced the name of what would become a well-known international chain. The building had a sign that would only accommodate nine characters. The brothers wanted to use "Pizza" in the name and that left room for only three more letters. A family member suggested that the building looked like a hut — and Pizza Hut was born.

The American Presidency Project
Richard Nixon
XXXVII President of the United States: 1969 - 1974
381 - Statement About the Report of the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography
October 24, 1970
SEVERAL weeks ago, the National Commission on Obscenity and Pornography-appointed in a previous administration-presented its findings.
I have evaluated that report and categorically reject its morally bankrupt conclusions and major recommendations.
So long as I am in the White House, there will be no relaxation of the national effort to control and eliminate smut from our national life.
The Commission contends that the proliferation of filthy books and plays has no lasting harmful effect on a man's character. If that were true, it must also be true that great books, great paintings, and great plays have no ennobling effect on a man's conduct. Centuries of civilization and 10 minutes of common sense tell us otherwise.
The Commission calls for the repeal of laws controlling smut for adults, while recommending continued restrictions on smut for children. In an open society, this proposal is untenable. If the level of filth rises in the adult community, the young people in our society cannot help but also be inundated by the flood.
Pornography can corrupt a society and a civilization. The people's elected representatives have the right and obligation to prevent that corruption.
The warped and brutal portrayal of sex in books, plays, magazines, and movies, if not halted and reversed, could poison the wellsprings of American and Western culture and civilization.
The pollution of our culture, the pollution of our civilization with smut and filth is as serious a situation for the American people as the pollution of our once-pure air and water.
Smut should not be simply contained at its present level; it should be outlawed in every State in the Union. And the legislatures and courts at every level of American government should act in unison achieve that goal.
I am well aware of the importance of protecting freedom of expression. But pornography is to freedom of expression what anarchy is to liberty; as free men willingly restrain a measure of their freedom to prevent anarchy, so must we draw the line against pornography to protect freedom of expression.
The Supreme Court has long held, and recently reaffirmed, that obscenity is not within the area of protected speech or press. Those who attempt to break down the barriers against obscenity and pornography deal a severe blow to the very freedom of expression they profess to espouse.
Moreover, if an attitude of permissiveness were to be adopted regarding pornography, this would contribute to an atmosphere condoning anarchy in every field--and would increase the threat to our social order as well as to our moral principles.
Alexis de Tocqueville, observing America more than a century ago, wrote, America is great because she is good--and if America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.
We all hold the responsibility for keeping America a great country--by keeping America a good country.
American morality is not to be trifled with. The Commission on Pornography and Obscenity has performed a disservice, and I totally reject its report.

What do you mean? I don't understand.
Why is he saying that, Dad?
What?
What's he saying, Caleb?
He's saying only the chosen must go,
those who heard the call.
Please.
I can't go with you, Caleb.
I mean, I can't go with you.

Disneyland RESORT
"it's a small world"
History, After All
"it's a small world" was created for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair in honor of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Personally overseen by Walt Disney, the attraction was a huge hit for 2 seasons at the fair and was eventually shipped back to Disneyland Park, where it reopened on May 28, 1966.
Due to its immense popularity, the attraction has been replicated in every Disney park around the world and is considered a Walt Disney classic.

April 1961
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following events occurred in April 1961:
April 14, 1961 (Friday)
"MH-5", the Materials Handling Committee #5 of the American Standards Association, approved the standard size for shipping containers now used worldwide, with dimensions of 8 feet high, 8 feet wide, and in units of 10, 20, 30 and 40 feet long.

Google Books
The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World ...
By Marc Levinson
page 182
The standards Hall wanted stood to have huge implications for the transport sector. No ships or containers then in use or in design would fit into the container system of the future.
page 183
Many steamship organizations abstained once again because of internal divisions, and again Marad backed the proposal. No vote count was released, but Hall, as chairman, decided that the 10-foot multiples had won sufficient support. On April 14, 1961, 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-foot boxes were declared to be the only standard containers. The Federal Maritime Board promptly announced that only the containerships designed for those sizes could receive construction subsidies.

DANIEL
And uh...to find a destination within any three dimensional space, you need six points to determine the exact location.
[Daniel draws a cube and places a dot in the center of each of the six "sides" of the cube and then draws lines between them all to intersect at a spot in the cube.]
WEST
You said you needed seven points.
DANIEL
Well, no, six for the destination. But to chart a course, you need a point of origin.
[He draws a point some distance from a cube and then a line to where all the cube spots intersect.]
MYERS
Except there's only six symbols in the cartouche.
DANIEL
Well, the seventh actually isn't inside the cartouche

Professor Jonathan Koestler: While she was dying, I was at home, in the front yard. I always thought you were supposed to sense when the people you love are in danger, but I didn't feel anything. Nothing. I was just blowing leaves off the lawn.
Diana Wayland: I'm so sorry, John.
Professor Jonathan Koestler: Well, but my point is that from then on, I decided that no one can know what was coming, and life was just a string of random accidents and mistakes. And then I got that list.

EXT—SUBURBAN STREET, DAY
[An Air Force sedan drives down a tree lined street in autumn before stopping at one of the houses. Two air force officers step out.]
INT—O'NEIL HOME
[Mrs. O'Neil opens the door to the two officers.]
JOHNSON
Mrs. O'Neil?
[Mrs. O'Neil steps away from the door, leaving it open as she goes to the kitchen.]
MRS. O'NEIL
Come on in.
[The two officers enter.]
JOHNSON
Mrs. O'Neil, is your husband at home?
[She works on the dishes and reaches for a cigarette.]
MRS. O'NEIL
Yes.
JOHNSON
Do you think we might be able to speak with him?
[She shrugs as she finishes lighting her cigarette and takes a drag from it.]
MRS. O'NEIL
You can try.
INT—TYLER O'NEIL'S ROOM
[Toys and photographs, and a certificate for Tyler O'Neil in Widget League in 1988 litter a bookshelf. O'Neil sits on Tyler's bed, holding a pistol as he stares at the photographs. There's a knock at the slightly-open door. O'Neil puts the gun under the pillow as the door opens wider.]
JOHNSON
Excuse me, Colonel O'Neil. We're from General West's office.
[O'Neil blinks, but does not turn around to face the men.]
JOHNSON
Sir? We're here to inform you...that you've been...reactivated.

Abby used to do this sometimes,
write things backwards,
and that last number, I don't think it's 33.
It's EE.
EE? Initials. Someone she knew?
I don't know.
I was nine when she overdosed.
The only time I ever came out here
was with my father
when he identified her body.
She willed the property to me,
but I never came back for any of her things.
When I was little, my mother used
to tell me that she could hear voices
whispering to her,
telling her horrible things.
