I wrote this quite some time ago for someone who was down and out...... It is sometimes my habit to be
cryptic........ to stimulate the "thinking process" - rather than putting everything out in plain sight. This
poem is an except from one that has over 800 lines. I wrote it in german...... it is extremely hard to translate
regarding rhyming and finding the proper words that convey the same meaning as my original intent was.
Not that I have problems with that - but it takes a lot more time.

FATE

What can I really say to you
The things I see - which will come true
It's that what I at times acquired
What between day and night transpired
It's is not however - what I was dreaming
If you can - now find the meaning
See the way the future's leaning
See what is behind the actions
Of innermost revealed reflections......
In times when deafness strikes the ear
But diff'rent ones begin to hear
In times when blindness strikes one's eyes
Another opens - and this relies
On what is not perceived as matter
Familiar landscapes then all shatter
Unsteady then is time advancing
Dormant senses are enhancing
The spirits gather for the cast
The haste of day is dead at last
The chase, the hunt - it can begin
With-out there's silence - but sound within.

From hollow bones a muted song
First so weak, now getting strong
The bones the shape trumpets, flutes
A haunting song - some still eludes
The sorrowful, arresting tones.
Lost dreams reflect, a soul bemoans
At times a change to suff'ring groans
Not snappy they reverberate
They fade, then swell, proliferate
They freeze the senses, scare and hound
From hollow bones the muted sound.

"What's this" a soul asks in distress
Confused - it felt the cold of death
"Whose realm is this - incorporeal -
Where shadows dreadful things conceal
Where three converge to one - then none
The none and all converge - are one
The cradle which contains the spark
Primaeval ground , archaic, dark
Surpreme and firm its awesome power
Which does create - which does devour"
"Come, Your journey soon has to adjourn
The way is long, there's much to learn
What's true and false - find separation
The light will shine - your destination."

"What is ", was asked - "Where is your courage -
What causes you so much demurrage
All you want is confirmation .......
False truth, the I, exposed as lies
The fire burns, consumes - then dies
Escape - there's none - though fools may think
Who have not found the proper link ......
Ensnared, entangled in their web
Death does not kill - is but a step
Learn you soul, there is no hiding
It's only time that you are biding
Your path in darkness hides crevices
You'r left - that is - to your devices
Look back - There you have been!
And there - still faint - it can be seen
Is always light there - in the end
On that you surely can depend"

I tend to have issues with my footwear. My feet are sensitive - they can't handle flip flops or most sandals because every single strap always seems to rub and literally cut up my feet. Every summer, I get scars from them! Or, the shoes are really cute without straps, but kill me after a block or so of walking. I do a lot of walking through the city to get to work, I end up handicapped with pain at the end of the day.

I have short legs, and high shoes really make my legs look great, but I can't handle another summer of foot pain and Band-Aids. But I don't want to resort to ugly sneakers and short-looking legs. Is there any way to get really cute shoes, that make me look taller, in which I can walk a decent distance without crippling myself?

School work, textbooks, notes, etc... as well as reading online, to which I guess I have no limits or discipline... can go on for hours and hours and hours reading, cramming and cramming, and find that hours later I haven't actually learned anything, or find what I was looking for...

The system involves selling Footsie Options once a month. The sale of these Options will result in a credit to your account of 3% - 6% per month - which they claim is certain regardless of weather the market is going up, going down or standing still. In 260 months of operation they claim 96% have shown a profit only 4% a loss: having made an average return of 38% for 12 months.
Is this possible?

I am going fishing in a lake. Many tell me that there is mostly bass and trout. At the local bait shop, although my heart was set on powerbait, the man insisted that nightcrawlers were the way to go! Ewwwwww! Ah well. I heard rolling the worms in sawdust make them less icky--but will it affect the yummyness for the fish?

Does bass like worms more or trout? And what waters do the fish prefer? I believe that the trout loves the shady areas and bass near the warm surface. Can someone please clarify?

Also, I am going to bring tortilla dough and cheese as bait. Oh! Also and mini-marshmallows. Please. May I take your tips and answers?! Also, correct any of my info if it is not right.

Thank you so much. Good luck on all of your further fishing endeavors!

Does this give you a warm fuzzy feeling or something else?

My answer is something else!

I am not sure why the problem has been removed. I'd like to see different approaches. Here is my solution.

To make the solution process simpler, let r = 1 first.
x^2+y^2 = 1, constraint
v = 2pix^2y, target
Differentiate the above two equations with respect to y,
2xx'+2y = 0 => x' = -y/x ......(1)
v' = 2pi(2xx'y+x^2)......(2)
Substitute (1) into (2) and simplify,
-3y^2+(x^2+y^2) = 0 =>-3y^2 + 1 = 0
y = 1/√3, x = √(2/3)
v(max) = 2pi(2/3)(1/√3) = 4pi√3/9

For r = 50, we can use similarity theorem to get
v(max) = 50^3*(4pi√3/9) = 302,299.89
