Platinum Preppy EF pen stroke

My fountain pen Pilot EF nib is in ink flowing trouble, so I bought new one Platinum Preppy EF, but failed. The Preppy nib does not offer extra-fine lines. Ink flowing too much and the relation between the pen pressure and the line width is disturbed.                                        

not thin lines

line width not stable

 Lines, especially thin lines cannot be stably drawn.
 800yen in the fountain pen and the converter. Pilot EF is better.

A messenger of spring

Strong winds let me know the beginning of the end of winter.
The air is not cold !  And the temperature at 4pm is 20 C !
As the wind goes away, it soon will turn back to wintry air.
This wind, a messenger of spring comes every year.

Daily sea escape

Daily tides, daily sea escape and return, are the stretching of the Earth that are caused by another bodies, mainly the Moon and the Sun.

The gravitational force exerted by one body on another is not equal across the finite size of a body.


       tidal force

The gravitational force between two objects is  F = GMm/r^2

    G= gravitational constant
   M= mass of object-1
   m= mass of object-2
   r= distance between objects


the distance on the near side is (d -R),  on the far side is (d + R)

F1 = GMm/(d- R)^2 ,     F2 = GMm/(d+ R)^2

the force difference in these two forces is   DF = F2 - F1=  -4GMmR/d^3

The minus sign means F2 < F1, the force is less on the more distant side,
which force difference stretches the object and causes the tidal bulge.

stretch

A fixed point on the earth experiences the bulges as high tides twice a day by the rotation of the Earth. Tidal force effect on the Earth by the Moon is stronger than that of the Sun.


======================================================================
 "The sea looked and fled;" (Psalm114:3)
 Israel exodus from Egypt was caused by a strong east wind (Exodus14:21), not tides.
 While the event was occurring, the sea would have escaped and returned as daily tidal cycle, because winds cannot change the rotation of the earth and the orbit of the sun and the moon.

ב בנאות דשא ירביצני על מי מנחות ינהלני

 ג נפשי ישובב ינחני במעגלי צדק למען שמו

ד גם כי אלך בגיא צלמות לא אירא רע כי אתה עמדי שבטך ומשענתך המה ינחמני

 ה תערך לפני שלחן נגד צררי דשנת בשמן ראשי כוסי רויה

ו אך טוב וחסד ירדפוני כל ימי חיי ושבתי בבית יהוה לארך ימים

"Por una cabeza"

　 Por una cabeza

1  Por una cabeza de un noble potrillo que justo en la raya afloja al llegar, y que al regresar parece decir: No olvidés, hermano, vos sabés, no hay que jugar.	by a head of a pedigree young-horse that just in the line it-slackens when it- arrives, and that  when it-returns it-seems to-say:  not  forget,  brother, you   you-know,  not  there-is  to-bet.
2  Por una cabeza, metejón de un día de aquella coqueta y burlona mujer, (y risuena mujer,) que al jurar sonriendo el amor que está mintiendo, quema en una hoguera todo mi querer.	by a head, being-in-heat of a day of that inconstant and  kidding (smiling)  woman, who when  she-swears  smiling the love that she-is  lying-about, burning in a  large-fire all my  love.
** 3a  Por una cabeza, todas las locuras. Su boca que besa, borra la tristeza, calma la amargura. 3b  Por una cabeza, si ella me olvida qué importa perderme mil veces la vida, para qué vivir.  **	caused-by a head, all  the insanities. her mouth  that it-makes-contact, it-deletes the sadness, it-calms the bitterness.  caused-by a head, if she about-me she-forgets what it-matters to-lose-myself thousand times the life, for what to-be-alive.
4    Cuántos desengaños, por una cabeza. Yo juré mil veces, no vuelvo a insistir. Pero si un mirar me hiere al pasar, sus labios de fuego (su boca de fuego)      otra vez quiero besar.	how-many lost-illusions by a head. I  I-swore thousand times, not I-return to repeat. but if  a  look me it-hurts when it-passes, her lips of fire (her mouth of fire) one-more time I-desire to-kiss.
5   Basta de carreras, se acabó la timba.  ¡Un final reñido ya no vuelvo a ver! Pero si algún pingo llega a ser fija el domingo, yo me juego entero. ¡Qué le voy a hacer..!	it-is-enough  of  races, itself  it-finished  the-card-game.  an end of-tight-race now not I-return to see! but if some horse it-becomes certain on-the Sunday, I myself   I-play  whole-number what  about-it  I'm-going  to do..!

    repeat **
