Crescentem sequitur cura pecuniam

In English: Worry follows growing wealth.

This is one of many Latin proverbs that warn about the cares and worries that come with wealth. In this case, the proverb features a very nice use of the Latin participle crescens, growing. As wealth grows, so do the worries that accompany it. The phrase itself comes from Horace, in his Ode 3.16, "Worry follows growing weath, as does a hunger for greater things"

Crescentem sequitur cura pecuniam
maiorumque fames.

The participle crescens has also given rise to the English word "crescent," although we tend to think of "crescent" as being a static shape, rather than something actively "increasing" (this word also comes from the same Latin root, in-creasing). The word "crescendo" also comes from this same root (via Italian); and with "crescendo," you definitely get a sense of actively increasing and swelling, which we not longer sense in the word "crescent."

The shape of the "crescent" is that of the moon, of course, which is constantly in motion and not static at all, as it waxes and grows larger, passing through the shape of the crescent until it is a full moon. Then, as it wanes and grows smaller, it passes through the crescent stage again, but this time it is de-creasing rather than in-creasing. We should probably call them the "increscent" moon and the "decrescent" moon just to acknowledge the dynamic difference! After all, you can tel just from looking at the crescent if the moon is increasing or decreasing. The horns of the waxing moon as it grows to full point to your left side, while those of the waning moon as it decreases point to your right - really! (Although it's just the opposite in the southern hemisphere, so if you are reading this in Australia, reverse those directions). If you don't believe me, take a walk outside for the next few nights and see what you can discover - or you can view this nifty animation at Wikipedia (larger view).

The moon is a good metaphor to keep in mind for the ups and downs of worldly wealth, too. Money comes, and money goes, just as the moon waxes and wanes. In fact, Horace's warning about "crescent" money and its worries could apply just as well to money when it is increasing as well as to money when it is decreasing. In many ways, it would be so much easier if money would just stay the same... but that's hardly the nature of the economy. It never stands still.

So, hoping that any money woes you are suffering might be those of increasing wealth rather than its opposite, here is today's proverb read out loud:

Another Australian government Valentich file emerges.

Hi all,

Introduction

On 28 June 2012 I wrote a blog piece about the discovery of two Australian government files relating to the disappearance, in 1978, of pilot Frederick Valentich, over Bass Strait, Australia.

Last year, in September, while randomly checking the National Archives of Australia's RecordSearch database, I found a two part file which also relates to the disappearance.

The new file is NAA file series B638, control symbol M116/783/1047 parts 1 and part 2;barcodes 10499635 and 10499636.Series B638 is comprised of 299 air safety, accident and incident files, where M stands for Melbourne.?

I immediately requested that the files, whose status was "Not yet examined" be examined. On 18 December 2015, I was advised that both parts of the file were now "open." I then submitted a request to have the file digitised, and paid the relevant fee.

The file, when "open" is titled "Accident on C182L - Moorabbin Vic/King Island Tas - 21 October 1978. VH-DSJ [including multiple newspaper cuttings regarding incident folder contains two piles.]"

The file had just been digitised.

What is on the file?

?

Perhaps firstly, the question is, where did this new file originate? We know that the already known file, NAA file series B1497 control symbol V116/783/1047, was owned by the Department of Civil Aviation, Victoria-Tasmania region. However, this new file NAA file series B638 control symbol M116/783/1047 was owned by the Department of Civil Aviation, Central Office.

Part one of the file is 200 pages, with part two being 139 pages long. Between the two, there are:

* dozens and dozens of newspaper clippings about the disappearance, perhaps the largest collection of articles I have come across

* numerous documents where statements were taken from individuals such as aircraft refuellers; pilots; and briefing officers. We have previously seen all of these statements on NAA file series A4703 control symbol 1978/1205 and NAA file series B1497 control symbol V116/783/1047

* a few, previously unseen typed and handwritten official minutes between individuals. However, even these really add very little to the debate as to what caused the disappearance.

One interesting set of papers isa letter from Allan Brunt, Regional Director for South Australia for the Bureau of Meteorology. Allan was open to taking a look at UFO reports, and he and I had a series of discussions about specific sightings, such as the 1988 Knowles car lift case.

On 3 August 1982 Allan forwarded a three page letter to the Department of Transport about the disappearance. Amongst his comments was one in regards to the fact that the UFO reported by Valentich was not seen continuously buton three separate occasions. Allan wrote "This type of sighting is consistent with a multiple meteor observation or a "meteor shower" with not just one, but several phenomena in procession. From the evidence available, I am unable to rule out the possibility that the pilot of VH-DSJ was frightened by the appearance of one or more meteors and, fearing a collision, took evasive action, or being seriously distracted by the frightening phenomena, flew into the sea."

You can view the file

To take a look at the file for yourself, or to download the file's PDF, go to http://www.naa.gov.au and on the home screen type "dsj" into the "search the collection" window, and click on "go."

Finally, yet another Valentich file revealed

We now know of three Australian government files relating to the disappearance of Valentich. However, the latest file's inside cover reveals yet another, unknown file. This is a Department of Transport file number 123/1/30 titled "ASIB requests for information regarding accident to Cessna 182L aircraft VH-DSJ on 21/9/78." (This date of 21/9/78 is incorrect, it should be 21/10/78.) I checked the NAA's RecordSearch and this fourth file is not listed. I checked using words within its title, but found no trace of it in RecordSearch. Yet another mystery. ?

Harapan Akan Selalu Selagi Masih Hidup

Tengah malam di sebuah rumah petak didalam gang yang sempit, ada 4 lilin menyala. Suasana yang begitu hening hingga terdengar percakapan diantara mereka..

Lilin 1 : Aku adalah Lilin DAMAI.
Tapi aku sudah jenuh, setiap hari penghuni rumah ini bertengkar, saling menyalahkan & saling memaki. Lebih baik aku memadamkan nyala apiku saja.."Lalu berhembuslah angin malam & lilin pertama itu pun padam.

Lilin ke-2 berkata :"Aku adalah Lilin KASIH.
Tapi aku juga sedih, karena penghuni rumah ini saling membenci satu sama lain. Setiap hari mereka cemberut & hidup bersama dgn sangat terpaksa. Lebih baik aku juga memadamkan nyala apiku.."Angin malam pun bertiup & padamlah lilin kedua.

Kemudian giliran lilin ke-3 berkata :"Aku adalah Lilin IMAN.Tapi lihatlah keluarga ini, mereka jarang sekali berdoa bersama ataupun beribadah. Mereka tdk percaya lagi bahwa TUHAN itu ada. Lebih baik aku juga padam saja.. "Lagi-lagi angin berhembus & lilin ketiga pun padam..

Tinggallah 1 lilin menyala, yaitu lilin keempat, ia pun bermaksud memadamkan nyala apinya.Tapi tiba-tiba seorg anak kecil penghuni rumah itu terbangun dari tidurnya, & saat melihat kamarnya hampir gelap gulita, anak itu merasa sedih & ketakutan.. Ia pun menangis tersedu-sedu.

Melihat itu lilin ke empat menjadi ikut terharu.
Ialu ia berkata :"Nak, jangan menangis, masih ada aku.. yang adalah Lilin HARAPAN, & selama aku masih menyala, maka lilin lainnya juga masih bisa dinyalakan kembali lho."

Dengan mata masih berlinang air mata, tangan mungil anak kecil itu lalu meraih lilin keempat, & menyalakan kembali ketiga lilin lainnya sehingga setiap sudut ruangan menjadi terang lagi.

*pesan moral*

Sobat sobat,..

HARAPAN, ada di dalam hati kita.

HARAPAN, tdk bisa diambil oleh siapapun.

Dan setiap kali IMAN kita goyah maka DAMAI & KASIH akan pergi meninggalkan kita ;Tapi bertahanlah dan ingatlah bahwa selama masih hidup maka selalu ada HARAPAN.

Cara Gesit Meraih Pembebasan

Hidup kadang tidak dimulai dengan tawa. Dan hidup sama sekali kadang tidak mudah. Bagaimana kita bisa memungut pengetahuan dari pengalaman pahit yang kita rasakan di masa lalu. Pengetahuan yang akan kita jadikan sebagai bekal dan kita pakai sepanjang usia.

Ada beberapa hal yang kita tidak boleh korbankan dan tidak boleh kita abaikan. Hal tersebut seperti keluarga, hati kita dan juga harga diri. Kita harus selalu berjuang untuk hidup kita dan mimpi-mimpi kita tapi kita harus tetap mengedepankan akal sehat. Memikirkan segala sesuatunya memiliki konsekuensi atau bersifat kausalitas.

Hidup dalam ketidak pastian itu kadang kita temui. Kita harus berani menghadapi itu semua seraya menyerahkan semuanya kepada yang maha kuasa dalam doa yang kita panjatkan setiap waktu. Tidak ada gading yang tak retak karena kita hanyalah manusia biasa, tempatnya salah dan lupa. Kita harus berani bersikap terbuka mengakui kesalahan dan memperbaiki kesalahan.

Ketika kita mampu membangun sebuah dinding dari batu yang dilemparkan kepada kita bagaimana mungkin masa depan kita akan rusak.
