THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED IN BOWIE COUNTY NEAR LEARY ON APRIL 10 2008 AND FOUND THAT AN EF2 TORNADO OCCURRED WITH WINDS OF 115 TO 125 MPH. 
THE EF2 TORNADO WAS ON THE GROUND FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES FROM 812 AM TO 814 AM. MOST OF THE DAMAGE NORTH OF INTERSTATE 30 WAS CONSISTENT WITH EF0 AND EF1 WINDS...HOWEVER...SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 30 BETWEEN HWY 82 AND INTERSTATE 30 SOME STRUCTURES SHOWED EF2 DAMGE. 

IN PARTICULAR...THE CINDERBLOCK AND BRICK LAWNMOWER BUSINESS JUST NORTH OF HWY 82 WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED WITH ROOFING DEBRIS AND LAWNMOWER PARTS THROWN TO THE WEST AND NORTH OF THE BUILDING LOCATION. A BRICK HOME SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS FROM THE LAWNMOWER BUSINESS SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO ITS ROOF AND EXTERIOR WALLS. A METAL SHOP BUILDING BUILT WITH LARGE METAL I BEAMS WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. I BEAMS WERE TWISTED AND THROWN IN A NORTHERLY AND WESTERLY DIRECTION UP TO 200 YARDS FROM THE BUILDING LOCATION WITH CONCRETE STILL ATTACHED. THE TREES BETWEEN THE LARGE METAL BUILDING AND THE INTERSTATE WERE UPROOTED OR SNAPPED IN A CONVERGENT PATTERN...INDICATIVE OF TORNADIC WINDS. 

IN TOTAL 12 STRUCTURES WERE DAMAGED OR DESTROYED BETWEEN HWY 82 AND THE INTERSTATE AND NUMEROUS TREES WERE DESTROYED. 3 TRACTOR TRAILORS WERE FLIPPED ON INTERSTATE 30 SHUTTING DOWN PART OF THE INTERSTATE AND INJURING ONE. 

FURTHER SOUTH OF HWY 82 ON THE LONESTAR ARMY AMMUNITION DEPOT...NUMEROUS TREES WERE SNAPPED OR UPROOTED AND DAMAGE TO PARTS OF THE DEPOT WERE REPORTED...ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT SURVEYED. NORTH OF INTERSTATE 30 ALONG THE SERVICE ROAD...AN OUTBUILDING SALES BUSINESS LOST SEVERAL BUILDINGS AND HAD MANY OTHERS DAMAGED...INCLUDING ONE THAT WAS DISPLACED A QUARTER MILE TO THE NORTHEAST. ALONG FM 2253...NUMEROUS TREES WERE SNAPPED AND UPROOTED ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SEVERAL SHEDS AND BARNS WERE DAMAGED OR DESTROYED. A GREENHOUSE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED NEAR THE END OF THE TRACK 1.8 MILES NORTH OF INTERSTATE 30 AND A COUPLE OF TREES WERE UPROOTED OR SNAPPED. SOME HOMES WERE ALSO DAMAGED FROM FALLING TREES.

USDA PUBLISHES GUIDE FOR AMERICAN INDIANS AND ALASKA NATIVES

     WASHINGTON, April 20, 1998--Agriculture Secretary  Dan Glickman today
announced the publication of a new resource from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture entitled Guide to USDA Programs for American Indians and Alaska
Natives.

     "We are committed to ensuring that USDA's programs are available to the
traditionally under-served communities," Glickman said. "This publication
reflects our concerted efforts to reach the American Indian and Alaska Native
populations."

     The 136-page book describes programs that are available to American
Indians and Alaska Native tribes and their members, including programs related
to natural resources and conservation, agricultural production and loans,
feeding programs, rural development, food safety, research, animal
agriculture, and civil rights.  It includes a bibliography of materials
related to American Indians and Alaska Natives that were published in 1992-97
and that are available from the National Agricultural Library.

     This book is also available on the USDA home page at the following
address:  www.usda.gov/news/pubs/indians/open.htm.

                               #

Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

     Dear Sirs
     
     I've just finished reading the article in the Motley Fool WebPage 
     regarding Proposed Regulation FD and the promise of Full Disclosure on 
     Wall Street. I am voting for More Open disclosure, however with some 
     caveats.
     
     As a hard core moderate and somewhat sensible person it would seem 
     good sense to maintain some level of Open disclosure abilities as well 
     as maintain a level of managment on the effects of full disclosure. 
     
     We all know that competition is good for the consumer in that the 
     costs of products and services declines while the level of innovation 
     and perhaps value increases. 
     
     Creating More Open disclosure capabilities would serve to provide a 
     wider distribution of the most current information and thus reduce the 
     virtual monopoly like hold Wall Street holds over the world markets.
     
     However, we all know that you don't hand a loaded gun to a child and 
     providing potentially destructive information to individuals that are 
     not trained or expert in the handling of that information is reckless 
     at best.
     
     Having the SEC completely eliminate the selective disclosure 
     restraints without some form of monitoring would not be in the best 
     interest of the economy, the individual investor OR Wall Street and 
     would set the stage for investor panic and emotional upheaval. 
     
     I believe the best course of action is to allow Open Disclosure of 
     information to ALL investors, HOWEVER NO Investor (or broker) can act 
     on that information without some type of controls in place. Much the 
     same as we now control Program Trading etc. 
     
     This type of automated control could act as a valve that could be 
     applied to stem the occasional financial panic, while providing a 
     mechanism to "loosen" the reigns if needed. 
     
     We should seek NOT to control the Information people have access to 
     but only their ability to do significant harm to themselves and others 
     by creating panic.   
     
     Sincerely

Greedy algorithms for optimized DNA sequencing

Allon Percus
Los Alamos National Laboratory 

Abstract 

We discuss the problem of optimally "finishing" a partially sequenced,
reconstructed segment of DNA strand.  While a simplified model may be
solved to optimality by a greedy algorithm, adding more realistic
features appears to make the problem computationally hard.  We suggest
and evaluate a number of near-optimal approaches.  We then propose an
Integer Linear Programming formulation that places it in the context of
more general coverage problems, providing further insight into the
solvability of this important application.

Neutral atom imaging of solar wind interaction with the Earth and Venus

M.-C. Fok, T. E. Moore, M. R. Collier, and T. Tanaka


Observations from the Low-Energy Neutral Atom (LENA) imager on the Imager
for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) mission have emerged
as a promising new tool for studying the solar wind interaction with the
terrestrial magnetosphere. Strong LENA emissions are seen from the
magnetosheath during magnetic storms, especially during high solar wind
dynamic pressure when the magnetopause is strongly compressed and the
magnetosheath penetrates deeply into the exosphere. Venus, unlike the Earth,
has no intrinsic magnetic field, so the solar wind penetrates deeply and
interacts directly with its upper atmosphere. Energy transfer processes
enhance atomic escape and thus play a potentially important role in the
evolution of the atmosphere. We have performed simulations of the solar wind
interaction with both Earth and Venus and compared the results to LENA
observations at the Earth. Low-energy neutral atom emissions from Venus are
calculated based on the global MHD model of Tanaka. We found the simulated
energetic neutral atom (ENA) emissions from Venus magnetosheath are
comparable or greater than for the Earth. The Venus ionopause is clearly
seen in the modeled oxygen ENA images. This simulation work demonstrates the
feasibility of remotely sensing the Venusian solar wind interaction and
resultant atmospheric escape using fast neutral atom imaging.

"We observed the optical afterglow (GCNs 8424, 8425, 8430) of GRB 081028
(GCN 8421) with the Magellan Echellette Spectrograph (MagE) on the
Magellan/Clay 6.5-m telescope starting on 2008 Oct. 28.326 UT for a total
integration time of 1800 sec.  We find a wide range of absorption features
(including Ly-alpha, SII, NV, SiIV, CIV, FeII, etc.) at a redshift of
z=3.038, which we interpret as the redshift of the GRB.  In addition, we
find several intervening CIV and MgII absorbers."

Message-ID: <414F4645.5050104@jpl.nasa.gov>

Dear Colleagues,

Almost three years have passed since SAC-C was placed into orbit, together
with EO-1, and they joined Landsat-7 and Terra in the Morning
Constellation.

During this period, many joint projects have been developed using the data
provided by these missions all over the world. We think it is a good
timing
for all the SAC-C and Morning Constellation participants to get together
and share our experiences and results.

Therefore, CONAE is proud to invite you to join us in the Anniversary
Workshop for SAC-C Mission and the Morning Constellation, which will be
held in Buenos Aires on December 1-3, 2003.

It will be a pleasure for us to welcome you in Argentina on this
significant occasion and we will greatly appreciate it to receive your
confirmation of attendance at nollmann@conae.gov.ar.   Please feel free to
transmit this invitation to any of your colleagues whose participation you
may consider of importance to the purpose of the event.

In the next few days you will be receiving an information package with the
agenda and logistic information for your stay in Buenos Aires.

Looking forward to your reply,

With best regards, Ida Nollmann

MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT ROBOTICS WORKSHOP SLATED IN PALMDALE

Local middle school students are invited to participate in a weeklong 
robotics workshop during the second week in July in Palmdale.

The free workshop is co-sponsored by the Lancaster High School Eagle 
Robotics Team in partnership with NASA's Dryden Flight Research 
Center and the AERO Institute. It is scheduled for July 7 through 12 
at the AERO Institute, 38256 Sierra Hwy. in the Palmdale Civic 
Center.

The workshop is limited to students who will be entering the sixth, 
seventh or eighth grades this fall, who have not attended previous 
workshops and have not been affiliated with the FIRST robotics 
program. The workshop will be limited to a maximum of 30 students.

Students will learn about robotics and actually build a robot using 
the VEX robot kit during the two-part workshop, which will run from 9 
a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Morning sessions will be devoted to 
educational presentations and activities. Afternoon sessions will be 
focused on building the robots, which will then participate in a 
competition on Saturday. All students must attend both components.

"If you are a student who has not had the opportunity to build a robot 
and are also looking for an introductory path to comprehending the 
significance and application of mathematics, science, and technology 
in a fun way, this workshop is for you," said Cecelia Cordova of the 
NASA Dryden education office.

Past workshop participants indicated their interest in engineering and 
mathematics was heightened significantly by their participation in 
the hands-on robotics activities, she added.

For more information and applications to attend the workshop, 
contacting Cordova at 661-276-3266 weekdays, e-mail 
Cecelia.cordova@nasa.gov, or Katherine Doran, 661-276-7570, e-mail 
Katherine.Doran-1@nasa.gov of NASA Dryden's education office; or 
Lorna Williams of the AERO Institute, 661-276-7615, e-mail

QUESTION:
What is the atmospheric pressure at the lowest point on the surface of Mars?
How long could a person conceivably survive there without benefit of a
pressure suit?

ANSWER from Nathan Bridges on November 30, 1999:
At the lowest point on Mars' surface, which is 7-8 km below the arbitrary
mean datum, the atmopsheric pressure can get as high as ~ 17 mbars.  To put
this in perspective, Earth's pressure at sea level is 1 bar, or 1000 mbars.
With this low pressure and a CO2 composition, a person would survive no
more than a few seconds without a pressure suit.
THE MYSTICS
327
"Me nescire sum professus,
Sed fide non dubia.
Qui sic credit, non festinet,
Et a via non declinet
Insolenter regia
Servet fidem, formet mores,
Nee attendat ad errores
Quos damnt Ecclesia.
Is not mine to make profession,
Save with faith unswerving.
Thus professing, thus believing,
Never insolently leaving
The highway of our faith,
Duty weighing, law obeying,
Never shall we wander straying
Where heresy is death.
Such a school took natural refuge in the Holy Ghost and the Virgin,
 Grace and Love,  but the Holy Ghost, as usual, profited by it
much less than the Virgin. Comparatively little of Adam's poetry is
expressly given to the Saint Esprit, and too large a part of this has a
certain flavour of dogma: 
Qui procedis ab utroque
Genitore Genitoque
Pariter, Paraclitel
Amor Patris, Filiique
Par amborum et utrique
Compar et consimilis!
The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the
Son; neither made nor created nor begotten,
but proceeding.
The whole three Persons are coeternal to-
gether; and coequal.
This sounds like a mere versification of the Creed, yet when Adam
ceased to be dogmatic and broke into true prayer, his verse added a
lofty beauty even to the Holy Ghost ; a beauty too serious for modern
rhyme : 
Oh, juvamen oppressorum,
Oh, solamen miserorum,
Pauperum refugium,
Da contemptum terrenorum!
Ad amorem supernorum
Trahe desiderium!
Consolator et fundator,
Habitator et amator,
Cordium humilium,
Pelle mala, terge sordes,
Et discordes fac concordes,
Et affer praesidium!
Oh, helper of the heavy laden,
Oh, solace of the miserable,
Of the poor, the refuge,
Give contempt of earthly treasures I
To the love of heavenly treasures
Lift our hearts' desire!
Consolation and foundation,
Dearest friend and habitation
Of the lowly hearted,
Dispel our evil, cleanse our foulness,
And our discords turn to concord,
And bring us succour!
42O            THE  TRAIL  OF  '98
Lord! a terrific gust of wind shook the cabin. It howled and screamed insanely through the heaving night. Then there came a lull, a strange, deep lull, deathlike after the mighty blast. And in the sudden quiet it seemed to me I heard a hollow cry.
"Hist! What was that?" whispered the Half-breed.
Jim, too, was listening intently.
" Seems to me I heard a moan."
" Sounded like the cry of an outcast soul. Maybe it's the spirit of some poor devil that's lost away out in the night. I hate to open the door for nothing. It will make the place like an ice-house."
Once more we listened intently, holding our breath.    There it was again, a low, faint moan.
" It's some one outside," gasped the Halfbreed. Horror-stricken, we stared at each other, then he rushed to the door. A great gust of wind came in on us.
" Hurry up, you fellows," he cried; "lend a hand. I think it's a man."
Frantically we pulled it in, an unconscious form that struck a strange chill to our hearts. Anxiously we bent over it.
" He's not dead," said the Halfbreed, " only badly frozen, hands and feet and face. Don't take him near the fire."
He had been peering inside the parka hood and suddenly he turned to me.
" Well, I'm darnedit's Locasto."
Locasto!    I shrank back and stood there staring

         ORDER DENYING MOTION TO RECONSIDER

     On February 7, 2002, I issued an order accepting the
Petitioner's late filed Petition for Assessment of Penalty. I
ruled that the Secretary had shown adequate cause for the 11 
day delay in filing the petition, and that the delay was not
prejudicial to the Respondent.  Subsequently, I assigned the 
case to Commission Administrative Law Judge Gary Melick. Three 
days after assignment, the Respondent moved for reconsideration 
of the Order Accepting Late Filing.  Judge Melick has returned 
the case to me so that I may rule on the motion.

     As I stated in the order accepting the petition, the
Commission has made clear that the Secretary may be given
permission to late file if there is adequate case for the delay
and if there is no prejudice to the operator. (Salt Lake County
Road Dept., 3 FMSHRC 1714, 1715 (July 1981)).  The Respondent
argues that the Secretary's assertion of "inadvertent error" as
cause for the delay is not adequate.  I disagree.

     The Secretary's counsels handle a large volume of cases
requiring penalty petitions and almost all such cases are timely
filed.  Late filed petitions are very rare. There is no hint the
Secretary is habitually slothful when it comes to filings.  None
the less, human nature being what it is, inadvertent mistakes
inevitably will be made and late filings will occur.  When, as
here, the delay is short, when the delay does not prejudice the
opposing party, and when a singular "inadvertent error" causes
delay, a more complete explanation for the delay occurred is 
not, in my judgement,  necessary and the late filed petition may 
be accepted.  The result --acceptance of the petition-- is
consistent with the Commission's historic reluctance to debar
parties on purely procedural grounds.

     ACCORDINGLY, the Motion to Reconsider is DENIED and the 
case is returned to Judge Melick for further proceedings.

"What? Talking, are you . . .?" and, snatching a favourable moment, they lifted me bodily, pushed from behind, and down I jumped into the pinnace, stiffly, awkwardly, falling right on both legs, . . . and forthwith lost my senses from the awful pain. ... I was brought to again by pain (probably still more excruciating). I found myself stretched on a thwart, with somebody in a sailor's blue jacket sitting right on top of me, and upon my right leg, almost on the very wound, was stretched a big stick, pressing on it. I cannot find words to give any idea how that stick weighed on my leg.
Subsequently it was all explained to me: directly after I had been "heaved off" on to the pinnace, they handed over (almost in the same manner) a stretcher with our unconscious Admiral tied fast to it. At this very moment one of the sailors, who was preparing to catch hold of his handle of the stretcher, lost his balance and sat down upon me bodily, and the stretcher's handle fell down with all its weight, pinning down my hapless right leg.
But all these explanatory details were gathered by me very much later; and just then I only saw the back of a blue-jacket sitting right on top of me, and, suddenly seized with fury, I caught hold of the gunwale with

Dear Dr.Lederberg:

          Many thanks for your kind letter. We are sending
you our reprints under separate cover.

          I Was readinG with great interest some of your
ingenious papers. Recently we started to apply so:ne methods used
in Lnicntobial genetics to some problems that concern tumor cell
populations. Our experience with 42  mouse tumors has shown that
only some oI +J them (12, on the whole) would grow as typical "asci-
tes tumors". All 12 ascitcs tumors belong to the very rapidly
growing and highly anaplastic category. The rest of the tumors
that grew only in the solid form, comprises both rapidly growing
and anaplastic and, to the greater part, more slowly growing
and comparatively better differentiated forms. We are trying
to learn more about the conditions that enable a tumor to grow
in a fluid as dissociated free cells. It seems that such a capacity,
if once. obtained,is a characteristic that is permanent to the tumor
cell lineage and is independent of the actual form in which the
tumor is maintained r&utinely (solid or ascites). Jack Schultz
suggested to me some years ago that we may be dealing with mutants.
We try to follow Law in applying the fluctuation test of Luria
and DelbrUck for tumor c-e11 populations for deciding this question,
At the same time we try to make independent comgrarisons on the
different cell populations involved with respect to other characters
than capacity for growth as ascites tumors, to establish possible
other correlations.

         As to the problem concerning the effect of chromatin
fractions a your suggestion to use DNAse may prove to be very valuable
indeed. We are doing some experiments presently where, we treat
established tumors with various, definitely noncellular fractions
that have been isolated from other tumors whEch differ from the
tumor-on which the fractions am tested in var&ous quantitative
respects. If there could exist something analogous to the bacterial
transforming principles 3.n case of tumors, the probability of
demonstrating it might be higher if we look for small but definite
changes than if we *try to transform a normal to a tumor oell -a
process that may involve a great numb&= of steps.

paper about   I was very much interested in the abstract of your
      the filterable agent with transforming activity, I should

very much appreciate a reprint of the full paper when available, as
well as any other reprints of your previous work that you could
spare,

  Most sincerely yours,

Subject: NWChem analytical and numerical 2nd derivatives
Hi All,
Could someone please advice me, how could one choose the method of
calculation of the energy 2nd derivatives? NWChem manual says that the
program selects method (either analytical or finite differences) of the
hessian calculation using information of its availability for the given
level of theory.
But what if you need to enforce finite difference hessian calculation
even with analytical hessians are available?
Thank you!

This photo shows Mars Pathfinder's configuration shortly after
landing on the Martian surface on July 4, 1997.  The spacecraft
will land four hours before sunrise and spend most of that time
standing itself upright, retracting its air bags, as seen here,
and opening its petals to expose the 22-pound rover.  As the sun
comes up on Mars, the rover will power up its solar panels and
prepare to roll off onto the Martian surface for a week of
exploration.  Mars Pathfinder, managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, is scheduled for launch on Dec. 2, 1996.

MRS.   HENRY   L.   PRESTON.                 241
edited The Mid-Continent of Dubuque, and in
1866, The Housekeeper of Minneapolis. She has
been a frequent contributor to The Independent,
the liter-Ocean, the Pioneer-Press, The St.
Louis Magazine, The Northwestern Magazine,
The Hesperian, Golden Days, The Writer, and
other periodicals.
Mrs. Preston (until lately, Mrs. Dvvight T.
Smith) is now about fifty-five years of age.
She is five feet, three inches in height, has
sparkling dark eyes, abundant black hair, a
small sensitive mouth, and a fair complexion.
Add to this a strong, magnetic presence, and an
earnest, candid and sympathetic disposition.
So far, Mrs. Preston has attempted none of
the higher fields of literature ; she has addressed
herself to the masses of readers only, and quite
ingularly, she has cleverly avoided the Scylla
and the Charybdis of the popular authoress of
the day: gush and sensationalism. Her special
literary sphere has been poetry, fiction, and
papers on subjects of general home and house-
hold interest to women ; in the latter department
she has no superior among western writers.
Her poems display an intimate familiarity with
nature, a tender longing for, and out-reaching
after, the good and the beautiful, a passionate
chafing under  restraint, and  a   calm,   subdued

cording to their own Pleafure, and without any great oppofition dif-
fered the Tartar to feize part of Leaetmg. After the Conquefl: of
which, he endeavoured to fubdue the whole Province, but was in-
terrupted in his career by a too vigorous refiftance; and the War be-
twixt the two Nations lafted a long time, Vi&ory fometimes incli-
ning to one, and at other times to the other fide; but at laft the Strife
ended in a Peace, in favour of the Tartar, the Emperor being ob-
liged to permit him in the quiet enjoyment of his Conquefts: by
teafon that the Robbers and feveral of the Nobility had made fuch a
formidable Infurre&ion, that the Emperor feemed to apprehend more
danger from them than from the Tartars themfelves. Which was indeed
afterwards confirmed by the Event; for the Robber Licoung after
taking feveral Cities and whole Provinces, grew fo infolent as to pre-
fix to attack even the Emperor himfelf in Peking his Metropolis,
which he knew to be empty of Forces, or at leaft that thofe there,
were coaiimndedby thofe who would betray their Prince.The Emperor
finding himfelf betrayed on one hand and deferted on the other, be-
ing unwilling to fall into the Robbers hands alive, after he had killed
hii Dftaghttr with his Sabir,  ended his own miferable Lite with a
Rope.
The Conqueror attempted to fix himfelf on the Throne; but
Prince Ouf**$?Ki, who commanded the Army at the Great Wall, and
kept I watchful Eye on the Tartar, defigning either to fall on him
with his great Force, or engage him on his fide, gained over to his
Party the LeMtw&rs, and all thofe who were either baniflied, or
had fled to thtt Province,- but tho' they were added to his Army,
he did not think himfelf ftrong enough to deal with the almoft in-
finite numbers, and confequently fuperior Force of the Robber or
Ufurper: Wherefore he, by a Treaty with Tfottte oxZunte the Tartarian
ftirig, obliged him to join his Force with him againft the Ufurper,
w ower to revenge the Death of his Father whom the Robber had
riieUy aiurtbered $ he fucceeded in his defign, and after a bloody
fight (as is already hinted in the VHth Chapter) purfued him, and

Ils mprisent nos mdecins ; cependant ils regardent avec beaucoup de distinction celui du fort, qui en a guri plusieurs, mme, aprs qu'ils avaient inutilement puis tous leurs sacs de mdecine. Et vraiment il doit avoir du mrite, car il n'est nullement prsomptueux. On m'a dit que l'anne passe, aprs avoir opr une guri-son difficile, le chef de la Tribu, o il se trouvait, le pria, srieusement, de leur laisser de sa race, et que le moyen, qu'on lui offrait, ne mritait pas un refus. J'aurais regard cela comme une fable, si je n'eusse pas t inform, de manire , n'enpouvoirdouier, que le premierWgre, que les Sauvages virent dans* ces contres, reut la mme invitation. Ils croyaient voir en lui un mauvais Esprit, ou un Diable ; et s'imaginaient, que s'ils pouvaient russir  en avoir une famille chez eux, les autres dmons fraterniseraient aussi ; ou du moins ils n'oseraient plus les molester. Vous vous rappelez, Comtesse, que je vous ai dj dit, que les Sauvages mnagent plus les Diables, que les Saints.

A travers leurs crmonies bizarres, leurs doctrines absurdes, et souvent contradictoires ;  travers la multiplicit, et la diffrence de leurs esprits,  peine peut-on conjecturer, que les Sauvages reconnaissent un Etre Suprme.
