The proposed congressional pay amendment was largely forgotten until 1982, when Gregory Watson, a 19-year-old student at the University of Texas at Austin, wrote a paper for a government class in which he claimed that the amendment could still be ratified. He later launched a nationwide campaign to complete its ratification.[2][3] The amendment eventually became part of the United States Constitution, effective May 5, 1992,[4] completing a record-setting ratification period of 202 years, 7 months, and 10 days, beating the previous record set by the Twenty-second Amendment of 3 years a

The Winter Palace by Philip Larkin Most people know more as they get older: I give all that the cold shoulder. I spent my second quarter-century Losing what I had learnt at university. And refusing to take in what had happened since. Now I know none of the names in the public prints, And am starting to give offence by forgetting faces And swearing I've never been in certain places. It will be worth it, if in the end I manage To blank out whatever it is that is doing the damage. Then there will be nothing I know. My mind will fold into itself, like fields, like snow.

When there is no inclination,22 there is neither coming nor going. When there is neither coming nor going, there is neither dying and arising. When there is neither dying nor arising, there is no here nor beyond nor in between. —This is the end of suffering.” (M 114,11 = S 35.87,11; U 81)

At that time, so the story goes, the Venerable Sāriputta, accompanied by five hundred monks, while making his round for alms in the village of Nālaka, came to the door of his mother’s house. His mother provided him with a seat, and as she served him with food, abused him roundly, saying, “Ho, eater of leavings! Failing to get leavings of sour rice-gruel, you therefore go from house to house among strangers, licking off the back of a ladle such sour rice-gruel as clings to it! And for this you renounced eighty billion of wealth and became a monk! You have ruined me! Eat now!” Likewise when she gave food to the monks, she said, “So you are the men who have made my son your own page-boy! Eat now!” The Venerable took the food and returned to the monastery. Venerable Rāhula invited the Buddha to eat. Said the Buddha, “Rāhula, where did you go?” “To the village where my grandmother lives, Venerable.” “And what did your grandmother say to your preceptor?” “Venerable, my grandmother abused my preceptor roundly.” “What did she say?” “This and that, Venerable.” “And what reply did your preceptor make?” “He made no reply, Venerable.” When the monks heard this, they began to talk about it in the hall of truth. Said they, “Brethren, how wonderful are the qualities of the Venerable Sāriputta! Even when his mother abused him in this fashion, he never got a bit angry.” The Buddha drew near and asked the monks, “Monks, what is the subject that engages your attention now as you sit here all gathered together?” “Such and such.” Then said the Buddha, “Monks, they that have rid themselves of the evil passions are free from anger.”

Basic Passages 9 Khuddakapāṭha 9 The Discourse on Love Mettasutta Those who are skilled in the meaning of scripture Karaṇīyamatthakusalena, should practice like this so as to realize the state of peace. Yanta santaṁ padaṁ abhisamecca; Let them be capable and sincere, very sincere, Sakko ujū ca suhujū ca, easy to speak to, gentle and humble; Sūvaco cassa mudu anatimānī. content and unburdensome, Santussako ca subharo ca, unbusied, living lightly, Appakicco ca sallahukavutti; alert, with senses calmed, Santindriyo ca nipako ca, courteous, not fawning on families. Appagabbho kulesvananugiddho. Let them not do the slightest thing Na ca khuddamācare kiñci, that others might blame with reason. Yena viññū pare upavadeyyuṁ; May they be happy and safe! Sukhino va khemino hontu, May all beings be happy! Sabbasattā bhavantu sukhitattā. Whatever living creatures there are Ye keci pāṇabhūtatthi, with not a one left out—Tasā vā thāvarā vanavasesā; frail or firm, long or large, Dīghā vā ye va mahantā, medium, small, tiny or round, Majjhimā rassakā aṇukathūlā. seen or unseen, Diṭṭhā vā ye va adiṭṭhā, living far or near, Ye va dūre vasanti avidūre; those who have been born and those about to be born—Bhūtā va sambhavesī va, may all beings be happy!

Even as a mother would protect with her life Mātā yathā niyaṁ puttam her child, her only child, Āyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe; so too for all creatures Evampi sabbabhūtesu, unfold a boundless heart.

Extended Data Figure 1 | Structure within a cube extending 16,000 km s21 ( 200 Mpc) on the cardinal axes from our position at the origin. Densities on a grid within the volume are determined from a Wiener filter reconstruction based on the observed velocity field. Three isodensity contours are shown. The density map is detailed near the centre of the box where observational constraints are dense and accurate, but tapers to the mean density as constraints weaken. Nevertheless, velocity flows illustrated by the black threads are defined on large scales. Ultimately all flows appear to drain towards Shapley, although flows through the Perseus–Pisces filament take a circuitous route through the poorly studied Lepus region. Tully, R.
