Everyone thought that if the Republican nominee, New York Governor Thomas Dewey, was cautious and made no mistakes, he would win for sure. The Chicago Tribune even printed their papers before full results were in.

Her theories continue to guide much depression and trauma research. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/karl-jaspers.jpgkarl-jaspersIn Psychology of Worldviews (1919), Jaspers begins the process of operationalizing the construct of Weltanschauung in what he will later consider to be the most important work in his life. He defines worldviews as frames of reference in which mental life takes place (later called schemas) and categorizes Weltanschauung as 1) attitudes or 2) world pictures. Attitudes are approaches through which humans experience the world and World pictures, on the other hand, are mental representations of the world that we create in our heads. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/one-mein.jpgone meinMost know that Hitler's goal was Aryan dominance. Few realize that he was just as insistence on establishing a dominate worldview, and achieving power through creating "psychically homogenized creatures" (p. 393) with one "infallible philosophy of life" (p. 455) which alone can achieve victory.https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/thomas-kuhn.jpgthomas-kuhnThomas Kuhnhttps://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/101212-politics-vp-debate-joe-biden-4.jpg2012 Vice Presidential DebateJoe smiles at the 2nd 2012 VP debate in Danville, Kentucky.

back from Pigeon Islandhttps://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/img_3623.jpgIMG_3623Our boat guide was proud of his fish he caught while ferrying others. We are pretty sure he was not allowed to fish while ferrying though, cause when we asked him to hold up his prize, he kept it pretty low and hid it behind a bunch of ropes later. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/img_3617.jpgIMG_3617Down by those rocks https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/img_3631.jpgIMG_3631On the way back we stopped by a cemetery that pops out of the 3rd world context. A beautifully manicured cemetery for 400+ sailors, mostly British, who lost their lives when a few WWII ships were sunk just off the coast of Sri Lanka. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/img_3618.jpgIMG_3618Where we started snorkeling.

It used to be said that if you waited in the lobby for long enough, you could meet everyone in the world worth meeting.

Sri Lankan tea is so british! https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0119.jpgIMG_0119This tree was probably my favorite. You can see that it is huge (see my little guide there). It is also two trees. One is an Acacia, the other is a banyan tree that sprouted somewhere near the top. It's roots slowly slithered down the tree and so now the two trees are interlocked. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0118.jpgIMG_0118This tree is apparently 1,500 years old. Maybe it sprouted as Rome was getting sacked : ) https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0117.jpgIMG_0117An old train engine...you could see the tracks winding lazily through the park. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0116.jpgIMG_0116It was an import. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0115.jpgIMG_0115A papaya tree. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0114.jpgIMG_0114"Just like Washington..." my little guide assured me : ) https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0112.jpgIMG_0112This is a statue of the god this park was named after: Viharamahadevi, the mother of King Dutugamunu. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0111.jpgIMG_0111This inscription on the back indicated that the marble came from Florence...probably the same quarries in which Michelangelo saw his David. https://jerclifton.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0108.jpgIMG_0108He then had me stand in front of this tree and took my picture. I think i was ready to charge him in case he took off with my iPod.
