To the reader: bib notation does not tranlate from origal document so this ia a draft

In CONSIDERATION of courage and justice

both these words present us with the reason why a machine more intelligent that Humans must have a FOUNDATION in pure truth and logic these machines will have communication ,engineering and mathematical skills that will improve with every self replication.

However any misunderstanding of the human code of justice could end up with the appearance of the Grand Inquisitor as a software sub routine. The same dynamics of the true Mathematical perimeters for the definition of courage would also have to hold true. As Stated before

The front line of social charity and government response defining us as a nation and a people. Are the moral reposes of police, hospital worker and social worker to produce the answers to the question: What would Jesus do. A movement toward the divine is the demand of charity.

A fireman who saves a elderly lady from disaster is a courageous hero. A police officer who beats an unconscious elderly gentleman in a hospital because he thinks he might be a warlock, is just a bum like any other criminal offender.

The moral Christian question: is the self replicating entity with an intellect better than ours have learned enough Christian Theology to know Christian right from wrong. The consequences of a conceptual misunderstanding by the entity could mean disaster. Jesus is with us in all Christian intellectual endeavors. So an entity and a child of the mind of humanity must also answer the question. What would Jesus do?

Jesus is with us in all Christian intellectual endeavors. So an entity and a child of the mind of humanity must also answer the question. What would Jesus do?

In the pain of loneliness Jesus is there, any life experience Jesus will be there if we ask. In a world that is filled with overwhelming sensations and constant possibilities of moving away from the path to Jesus. The exceptionally kind thng is not to place our self above anyone else it being so easy. Poverty is not a sin It is an institution in this world a situation in life, a possible creation of humanity money is an invention of humanity

. A government that forces vulnerable people to stay in the lower classes without compensation for the blind or crippled and mentally ill is no friend of Jesus who cured the blind and sick.

Government and humanity have the resources to effect a cure for those who cannot work, through money or technology Everyone has the right to contribute. A good government for the people would follow the principles of Christian charity and take care of the elderly. To keep them as independent as possible.

Government too must follow the Christian ethic. Although religion should not make up the constitution of a country that follows the Christian ethic. A failure to act leaves the situation open to the moral code of other religions

Quote below taken from world Atlas

"There is no constitution for the state of Palestine, and the basic laws assume that Islam is the religion of the state and therefore secures the freedom of religion. The principles of sharia law are integrated into the legislature."

Indigenous Religion From Co-pilot

"Indigenous religious theology is a rich and diverse field that encompasses the spiritual beliefs and practices of Indigenous peoples around the world. Here are some key aspects: 1. Connection to Nature: Many Indigenous spiritual traditions emphasize a deep connection to the natural world, viewing all elements of nature as sacred and interconnected. 2. Creation Stories: These stories explain the origins of the world and humanity, often involving supernatural beings and significant events. 3. Rituals and Ceremonies: Rituals, dances, songs, and storytelling are integral to Indigenous spirituality, serving to maintain cultural identity and pass down traditions. 4. Sacred Objects: Items such as medicine masks, soul catchers, and shamanic tools hold spiritual significance and are used in various ceremonies. 5. Community and Ancestry: The community plays a crucial role in Indigenous spirituality, with a strong emphasis on honoring ancestors and collective well-being."

“ The religion and culture of a conquered people lose significance. From Co-pilot

“Contemporary Views: Different Islamic sects and scholars have varying interpretations of martyrdom. Some militant groups, like Hamas, view martyrdom as the highest form of sacrifice for their cause” “The Martyrs' Shrine in Midland, Ontario, Canada, is a national holy and historic site dedicated to the memory of the Canadian Martyrs1. These martyrs were eight Jesuit missionaries and two lay persons who were killed in the 17th century while working among the Huron-Wendat people1.

The shrine was consecrated in 1926 and is one of six national shrines in Canada1. It houses the relics of St. Jean de Brébeuf, St. Gabriel Lalemant, and St. Charles Garnier, who were canonized by Pope Pius XI in 19301. The shrine is a place of pilgrimage and spiritual reflection, attracting visitors from around the world2."

Here again is the question of pure truth and logic. The concept of the theology of martyrdom. Christianity is not a free pass, we are not born again and live the rest of our lives with no pain and a Jesus stamp on our soul. Every Christian will suffer, some will give their lives for their faith. Jesus did not step in the and end the pain of torture for the martyred at Midland Ontario and they in turn kept their faith in Jesus.

From Co-pilot

“Christian theology of martyrs is deeply rooted in the faith's history and scriptures. Here are some key points: 1. Definition: The word "martyr" comes from the Greek word for "witness." In Christian context, it refers to someone who bears witness to their faith, even unto death1. 2. Early Church: The early Christian church viewed martyrdom as the ultimate act of faith and devotion1. Martyrs were seen as following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, who willingly suffered and died for humanity1. 3. Inspiration: The stories of martyrs have inspired countless generations of believers, shaping the identity of the Christian faith2. Their unwavering commitment to Christ and the Christian message left an indelible mark on the Church's history2. 4. Persecution: Throughout history, many Christians have faced persecution, suffering, and death due to their faith2. This has been a recurring theme, from the Roman Empire's persecution of early Christians to modern-day instances of religious persecution."

Again Co-pilot

Indigenous theology doesn't typically emphasize martyrdom in the same way as some other religious traditions. Instead, Indigenous spiritual beliefs often focus on living harmoniously with nature, community, and the spirit world. However, there are instances where Indigenous individuals have been martyred, often in the context of resisting colonization and defending their lands and way of life.

the mission Copilot

The Mission is a 1986 British historical drama film directed by Roland Joffé and written by Robert Bolt1. The film stars Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons, Ray McAnally, Aidan Quinn, Cherie Lunghi, and Liam Neeson1. It tells the story of 18th-century Spanish Jesuit missionaries who try to protect a remote South American tribe from falling under the rule of pro-slavery Portugal2. The film explores themes of faith, cultural clash, and the impact of colonialism. It's a powerful and thought-provoking movie that delves into the complexities of missionary work and the struggle to protect indigenous people."

And John Gielgud : who also starred in the Movie Shine The story of a progression on the road to mental illness of a gifted man who lived a life of music and this brings back the statement from this thesis. Life may not always be what We have expected. But to those with true and devote faith the always is with Jesus Christ and the promise of the resurrected soul.

Charity Section two Phil Musgrave

Truth is the sanctuary lamp of Christian belief

It is a learned behavior that is True to the Christians as an evolved personal theology. Jewish or Muslim concepts of truth may differ widely from Christian concept. This thesis will of course also apply to the concept of the self replicating Machine. A logic algorithm placed and the baby brain of A.I. before it self replicates to a self awareness.

Teaching the concept of charitable Christian truth to a machine would lead us back to the fallacy of the standing argument what is pure truth. So it might be fair to ask are we really truthful and ask A.I.

From copilot. “ Living in tents is often not a safe or sustainable solution for homeless individuals. Encampments, while sometimes necessary due to a lack of affordable housing and shelter options, pose significant risks and challenges. People living in tents face daily struggles for safety, security, and basic needs12. However, some individuals prefer tents over shelters due to personal reasons, such as feeling safer or being able to stay with pets2. Encampments can also foster a sense of community among residents1. Ultimately, the goal should be to provide more stable and permanent housing solutions that uphold the dignity "

In this writing it has been stated before: the argument that tent cities are housing is false. Asking A. I. about a moral question may not be one we want answered: support to Palestine the logic of truth suggest that even a Christian ask the question about treatment of hostages. So the Question is posed and co-pilot answers

" Hamas should treat the remaining hostages humanely and in accordance with international humanitarian law. This includes: 1. Ensuring Safety and Well-being: Hostages should be protected from harm, provided with adequate food, water, and medical care1

. 2. Allowing Communication: Hostages should be allowed to communicate with their families and have access to the International Committee of the Red Cross1.

3. Immediate Release: Ideally, all civilian hostages should be released immediately and unconditionally2. These actions are crucial for upholding human rights and maintaining international standards of treatment for captives."

Please refer the the Biblical theology of war. Like truth passed to children. The imperfect truth passed to a evolving machine should replicate the sanctity of truth found in the elements of faith in the foundation belief of Christianity: the Resurrection of the human soul.

Christianity a Jouney of Love Part 3 Copyright Phil Musgrave

Somewhere between envy and prejudice we can find the acts and Language of Christian charity. Like love, Christen charity sometimes demands more than we are willing to give. The pro-active Christian understands involvement should responsed with a progression towards the improvement closer to the Devine. Thoughtful words and action can bring a better world

Taken from co-pilot: The idea that Jesus was homeless on his birthday stems from the biblical account of his birth. According to the Gospels, Jesus was born in a stable because there was no room for Mary and Joseph in the inn. His crib was a manger, which is an eating trough for animals1. This setting highlights the humble and challenging circumstances of his birth. However, it’s important to note that while Jesus was born in a stable, he did have a home in Nazareth where he grew up. Later in life, during his public ministry, Jesus often traveled and did not have a permanent residence, which led him to say, “The Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head” (Matthew 8:20; Luke 9:58)2.

The front line of social charity and government response defining us as a nation and a people. Are the moral reposes of police, hospital worker and social worker to produce the answers to the question: What would Jesus do. A movement toward the divine is the demand of charity.

A-Biblical-Theology-of-Learning-Through-Service.pdf

A NEED  The theology of charity remains in the realm of love, and as such seeks behavior that would in human interpretation be pleasing to, and imitative of the Divine. Therefore this Foundation stone of the Christian faith asks more of us then love. Charity is much more today than a wayward child. It is a demand for compassionate Logical thought. Addressing the issue of a homeless people's tent city as a human rights issue, is not logical. Because nobody wants to live in a tent there on a cold winters night. The charitable answer always for humanity is what would Jesus do. We are weak, and human biology and emotion may be the barriers to the perfect act of charity. but todays pro-active christen must look at the morality of charity and the drive towards a defined movement to a targeted goal of profection. From Microsoft Co-pilot Preamble

“The concept of self-replicating machines, often explored in both science fiction and theoretical science, raises intriguing moral and theological questions. These machines, capable of autonomously reproducing themselves using raw materials from their environment, challenge our understanding of creation, responsibility, and ethics.”

The machine that never sleeps can attend the sick and dyeing human: a noble and charitable act. In the quest for machine perfection the entity has become self aware and is asking the theology of Christian charity as justification for any further service to humanity.

Truth is the sanctuary lamp of Christian belief

This thesis will of course also apply to the concept of the self replicating Machine. A logic algorithm placed and the baby brain of A.I. before it self replicates to a self awareness.

Teaching the concept of charitable Christian truth to a machine would lead us back to the fallacy of the sanding argument what is pure truth. So it might be fair to ask are we really truthful and ask A.I.

Please refer the the Biblical theology of war. Like truth passed to children. The imperfect truth passed to a evolving machine should replicate the sanctity of truth found in the elements of faith in the foundation belief of Christianity: the Resurrection of the human soul. “Yom Kippur, which is the holiest day in Judaism, known as the Day of Atonement1. It's a day dedicated to fasting, prayer, and repentance1. This year, it started on the evening of October 11 and ended on the evening of October 12,1.”

“Although this writing is about the Christian faith there are some elements of faith that root themselves in the old testament.

Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album Various Positions (1984). Achieving little initial success,[1] the song found greater popular acclaim through a new version recorded by John Cale in 1991. Cale's version inspired a 1994 recording by Jeff Buckley that in 2004 was ranked number 259 on Rolling Stone's "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah_(Leonard_Cohen_song).” Also from Wikipedia praise Jah/Yah

The phrase "hallelujah" translates to "praise Jah/Yah", though it carries a deeper meaning as the word halel in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song, to boast in God. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH, and is a shortened form of his name "God, Jah, or Jeh

https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1619314/jewish/The-Art-of-Forgiveness.htm. From Co- Pilot Preamble “In Hebrew theology, forgiveness is a profound and multifaceted concept1. Here are some key points: 1. Repentance: The offender must sincerely repent and seek forgiveness from the victim1. This often involves a heartfelt apology and a commitment to change1. 2. Victim's Role: Only the victim has the right to forgive the offense1. Forgiveness is not automatic and requires the victim's willingness to forgive1. 3. Yom Kippur: This is the Day of Atonement, a time when Jews seek forgiveness from God and others1. It's a day of fasting, prayer, and reflection1. 4. Mitzvah: Forgiveness is considered a divine commandment (mitzvah) in Judaism2. The Torah explicitly forbids revenge and bearing grudges2.

“ The Hebrew theology of forgiveness asks that direct reparation be given to the offending party. So again we ask A I for an answer

From Co-pilot “ The situation between Israel and Hamas is deeply complex and fraught with historical, political, and ethical considerations. International law, including the Geneva Conventions, prohibits taking hostages and considers it a war crime12. Israel has the right to defend itself and its citizens, but the use of force must comply with international humanitarian law, which includes principles of proportionality and distinction to avoid harm to civilians12. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant loss of life and suffering on both sides34. Efforts for a ceasefire and negotiations for the release of hostages are ongoing, but achieving a lasting peace requires addressing the underlying issues and grievances45. It's a deeply sensitive and complex issue, and any resolution will need to balance justice, security, and humanitarian concerns. “

Sometimes only the Divine can forgive the questions that can only be answered in the sanctity of the human soul. Politics and religion remain on two separate paths to truth, but there is not yet a perfect sentient machine that can explain the pain of a brother who imagines the torture and fear of a victim of kidnaping. A brother who’s tortured prayers and supplications produced no remorse, instead a silly illogical demand that the instigator of the crime be given the help of the Red Cross while any hope for his imprisoned and fearful Hostage brother is not known to have food

. The answer here from Co-Pilot, should have been less offensive and composed of pure truth and logic. So no machine is immune from the illogical invasion of the non logical premises in the mind of Humanity. Therefore until such artificial intelligence is base in pure logic and truth. Humanity must seek the comprehension of the Divine in another form of reasoning.

At the beginning of this thesis it was stated that love could be found in the tearful sobbing of a widow at the grave of her husband. This would be a love who's mother could only be pain. The biggest question in the Christian belief is why is there still pain and suffering despite our supplications and prayers. From co-pilot “

2 Corinthians 12:7-10, where Paul talks about his "thorn in the flesh" and how God's grace is sufficient for him, even in weakness. And, of course, the suffering of Jesus Christ, particularly his crucifixion, is a central theme in Christian theology, symbolizing the redemptive power of suffering. Christian views on pain and suffering are complex

and varied, offering a lot of food for thought. How do you see it?” Death of someone we love is the most bitter pain of all. The question of why. In the world of heaven is John Kennedy allowed to finish his term in office. Is John Lennon still alive and does Martin Luther King still preach from a pulpit. The pain we feel at the loss of a great and good Soul is also a loss of the hope and trust we placed in that person. https://healgrief.org/grieving-the-death-of-a-spouse/ the personal grief we feel at the loss of a spouse can be exceptional. We might even be moved by the event to change our view of a just and loving God.

It is Jesus who makes us smile again

Again from Co-pilot

“ “According to biblical accounts, Jesus often turned to prayer in times of grief. In the Garden of Gethsemane, knowing he would soon be arrested and crucified, he prayed intensely, seeking strength and expressing his sorrow to God. He also showed compassion and empathy towards others in their grief, like when he wept with Mary and Martha over the death of their brother, Lazarus, before raising him from the dead. His approach combined faith, emotional expression, and compassion.” If we are to take Christianity with us into space we must understand hope will sometimes perish and we must rely on faith. For the discipline of Christianity to stay in our soul we must be aware our weakest times are open to failure Co-pilot “

In Christian theology, the concept that God knows what will happen to us is rooted in His omnipotence. The idea is that God, being all-knowing, has foreknowledge of everything that will occur in our lives. This doesn't necessarily imply that human free will is compromised. Many Christians believe that while God knows the outcomes of our choices, we still have the freedom to make those choices ourselves. It's a delicate balance between divine foreknowledge and human free will that theologians have debated for centuries.”

https://www.history.com/news/seven-deadly-sins-origins

Returning to the meaning of pain in this world. The question of an omnipotent God allowing the death of a good Christian soldier when God has foreknowledge might be considered cruel. Polio was cured by humans not God. With a good intellect humanity may be in the future able to better control weather and stop the painful loss of human life due to natural disaster. So pain might just be an invitation from God to Love. Everywhere from the care of the feeble and elderly to the movement of humanity off the earth into space there is risk of the loss of love, Death will be there like the widow at the grave but by sorrow and grief we come to know that we were truly loved.

Scroll This Section The Allen's Bridge Reconstuction A feat of Human Engineering cr Phil Musgrave The Allens Bridge in Guelph is actually Four Bridges and that's what makes this project so fantastic. The mathematics involved in getting this project done are mind-boggling. First of all consider that there are two Railway Bridges one goes under the other. There are two traffic bridges, one no longer in use. There is a four-lane bridge that has replaced the old two lane bridge, across the River running parallel to the old bridge that used to carry traffic from the Elizabeth, Grove, and Arthur, area to the downtown major Center of Commerce. When Guelph was that much smaller. Now that bridge connects to Wellington Street, which is a direct connection to Gordon. So the traffic bridge sees a fair amount of traffic. So the idea is to build a 2 track railway on the Upper Bridge of Allen's Bridge. So when you think about this project from the beginning to the end taking it step-by-step the first thing that had to be done was the disconnection of a pipe from Allen's Bridge that carried fibre optic cable. This was done using a crane. Detaching the pipe hanging in a rope cradle. The next thing that had to be done was the steel sections of the bridge that had to be replaced. This was done on weekends over the summer and autumn. These parts of the bridge had a considerable amount of weight so did the crane and counter weight. So what had to be calculated first Was Would the Road Bridge take the weight of a crane with counterweights and the weight for the pieces of the bridge. it seems to have done so. So in my pictures you will see the gap, there is a section of the bridge that is missing. that section is about to be replaced. However, it being wet and rainy I wasn't going to hang around and let my camera get wet. So this is what happened: the crane in the picture is preparing To Lift a section of the last section of the upper Bridge into place. I have tried to include in my photographs pictures of the bridge and pictures of the gap that is to be replaced by the new bridge piece that is on the ground. All about Cranes

Phil Musgrave: Intview with Interview with Harjeet Sehgal Customer Service Clerk-III Business Services, Environmental Services (Water Supply) City of Guelph Question: Is there any concern in the Guelph area for lead or waterborne disease? Guelph’s water quality is excellent. The ground acts as a natural filter, and the City uses ultraviolet technology and chlorine as additional protection, including against waterborne diseases, to ensure the safety of the water as it travels from the source to your tap. The water we deliver to private household plumbing meets or does better than Ontario’s drinking water quality standards. While there are no concerns about lead levels in our municipal drinking water supply, some older homes still have lead pipes within private plumbing. We have a rebate program to help people replace lead pipes in their homes: https://guelph.ca/living/environment/water/my-pipes-and-plumbing/drinking-water-and-lead/ Queation: What Does healthy under road infrastructure look like? More information about Guelph’s water supply:Ground waterTesting / Guelph water quality reports: Your inquiry also suggests you’re interested in asset management. Check out our information online which includes links to reports and more details about all of Guelph’s infrastructure: https://guelph.ca/plans-and-strategies/asset-management-program/. Question: Is PVC piping safe? Similarly for your questions concerning PVC as a watermain material type, I would direct you to Health Canada’s Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality: Guideline Technical Document (section 5 - Vinyl Chloride) for additional information on this material type used throughout the global water industry. In accordance with this document the City uses NSF/ANSI Standard 61 grade PVC pipes where appropriate through construction and alterations to the drinking water system and distributes only cold water to customers.

Editorial Opinion Homeless for Thanksgiving

Editorial Opinion Homeless for Thanksgiving It always happens this time of year. you have to call the landlord at least once to remind them that the heat is not on. The thing is, as you get older, the more you notice the small things. Like the heat being off. Maybe there are two many people in the world. Maybe we should have stopped at 6 billion. After all it seems there are surplus people lying on the street in Toronto. While the hungry pigeons peck greedily at the half opened plastic wrapped sandwich left on the sidewalk beside them by some loving member of the congragation of St. Jude’s. Who of course would not be there were it not for the government fund granted the church to take care of the poor. Then there are the lineups at the church of the mentally ill, the drug addicts and the poor. all lined up to get themselves a meal for one day. Oh Canada takes good care of refugees. They are bussed to language classes and soon they are placed in an apartment with updated sewer and water and even fiber optic cable is installed. Then they go to work in local factories While across the street a buildings management is busy updating their property to make it more sellable. So the company can flip it maybe to another landlord in their own real estate group.. The fourth landlord in ten years. Cameras are installed, walls are painted and the Laundry room updated. heat is kept too low so as not to burn to much Natural gas. The Problem we run into here is apartments only update after the tenant dies or leaves, and repairs are not being made in a timely manner. People living in the building can get sick from improper ventilation or bad water. There can sometimes be 4 levels of administration to a building. Making it very hard to get things fixed. Temporary homeless shelters are playing a numbers game with the government and are top heavy with highly paid administration. These shelters have a maximum of 29 days then you can’t come back for a year. You don’t want one in your neighborhood because of litter, noise and needles on the ground. And ODSP and community housing are outright hostile in there relationships with clients Yes it is time for the government to step in and really help the homeless help themselves this is a province wide emergency.
