Rembrandt had 16 children but only three - a son and two daughterssurvived to adulthood. His son became an art dealer, and after Rembrandt’s bankruptcy, rented a house for him self and father and his mistress, Hendrickje Stoffels. His son died one year before Rembrandt. I ask how Rembrandt went bank rupt. “He spent too much. Also, ‘Nightwatch’ – the three people who paid the most for the painting were not well represented in the painting; it went around that Rembrandt wasn’t a good portrait painter and he lost com missions (100G, equivalent to yearly salary). With commissions down, he went bankrupt.” [Later, I get to ask the docent at the Rijksmuseum when I visit “Nightwatch” who disputes this account.]TheRembrandt House museum has a broad collection of Rembrandt’s works, but only a small portion is on view at any one time (they rotate to preserve the art).

I have cleverly arranged an extra day in Amsterdam after the eight-day BoatBikeTours Bruges-to Amsterdam bike trip, and I can’t afford to miss a minute. So after checking into my five-star luxury historic hotel, Sofitel Legend the Grand Amsterdam Hotel, marveling at my room (actually a suite), and having the concierge help purchase a timed ticket to the Rijksmuseum, I immediately set out.

It is utterly fascinating to be in this space – his bedroom, his printing room (where you can lift leather coverings and see original etchings), his studio, his salon (actually a sales room). I learned that Rembrandt was an art dealer, and would have entertained clients in this parlor where there are a number of paintings on the wall as there would have been. Rembrandt “would receive his cli ents with a glass of chilled wine from a marble wine cooler. On the walls hung dozens of paintings from which the client could choose. Rembrandt sold his own works and works by his many pupils. He also dealt in paintings by other masters. This was common practice among artists at this time.

Myfirststopismostremarkable: The Rembrandt House (Jodenbreestraat 4-6). This is Rembrandt van Rijn’s actual townhouse, which may sur prise people to learn is on a street that used to be in the center of Jewish life in Amsterdam. Although Rembrandt was not Jewish, his paintings often reflect his life among the Jews in the city - scenes from the Old Testament and many portraits of the Jewish peo ple who lived around him. But what is most remarkable are the insights into this master’s life and work and even his creative process as you go around the house, essentially restored and furnished in the way it was, when he lived here. The Rembrandthuis pres ents Rembrandt’s life, his epoch, an interesting collection of paintings by his contemporaries and his prints. Rembrandt was doing well when he bought this townhouse, but when his fortunes turned and the house was sold, his possessions were inventoried – the museum recreates the house from that inventory as well as Rembrandt’s drawings, so they knew what was in specific rooms; the audio tour notes the objects (and you can get even more detail on many of the objects).

century up to the Holocaust. Jewish people, culture and reli gion became an important element of life in Amsterdam from the early 1600s. Several countries in Europe guided by the Catholic Church, starting from the 13th C, had laws aimed at expelling Jews. During the counter-reformation in the 16th C, persecutions of Jews increased.

While subject to many restrictions, Jews were permitted to settle in Amsterdam and peacefully observe their religion. In 1593, a century after the Spanish Inquisition, Sephardic Jews from Portugal and Spain settled in this neigh borhood of Amsterdam. In the course of the 17th century Ashkenazi Jews from Central, Eastern, and parts of Western Europe also moved into the district. By 1602, the Jews started to build their first synagogues. And in the centuries that followed, many more synagogues opened.

You are right that the training is science based and not based on the marketing of products, old wives’ tales or internet me mes.

The museum is set in a group of four 17th and 18th century Ashkenazi synagogues at the heart of the former Jewish quarter in the centre of Amsterdam. The perma nent exhibition follows several themes: the role of religion and tradition, the links with Israel, the persecution of Jews during the Second World War, personal life stories and the mutual influence of Jewish and Dutch culture. The main part of the museum is housed in the stunning Great Synagogue, the Ashkenazi “Gathering Place” that dates from 1671. The exhibits here are enlightening and inspiring.

Here I find some of the original Rembrandt etchings of his Jewish neigh bors – but with uncanny personal infor mation.Jewish Museum is more focused on the 350-year long history of Jews in Amsterdam. it’s about their migration and integration into Holland, though the period from 1900 to present is also on display in a very moving way, how they integrated into Dutch society, and how they thrived and contributed to the com munity when restrictions were lifted. It’s a museum of stories and surpris es – it’s uncanny how much personal information they have to connect with the portraits and personal effects on view – so much more meaningful than looking at paintings and artifacts. I especially loved seeing these gorgeous portraits of Jewish Amsterdamers from the 17th and 18th centuries, – how they looked like any other Amsterdamer of the time, a testament to how secular and assimilated people can come when they are free to interact in the broader society. Here you see Rembrandt etchings of his Jewish neighbors (that weren’t on dis play in Rembrandthuis), and here, there is uncanny personal detail. So attached to Rembrandt’s etching of a distinguished looking man, we learn, “This is the Sephardi doctor Ephraim Bueno (15991665). When he was a child, he and his parents fled Portugal to Bordeaux where studied medicine, then later settled in Amsterdam. Father and son gained a good reputation as doctors, both in Jewish and non-jewish circles. Ephraim Bueno lived near Rembrandt, who etched his Amsterdam,likeness.” a legendarily liberal city for sex, drugs (as today), was also com paratively liberal for Jews back in the day. William of Orange fought a revolu tion for religious freedom from Catholic Spain. Jews won comparative emancipa tion in the Netherlands in 1796. The combination of economic success and a relatively tolerant religious envi ronment - unusual in Europe - made Amsterdam attractive to foreigners. Portuguese “New Christians” –descendents from the Jews from Spain and Portugal who were forced to convert but practiced secretly – found that here in Amsterdam, Jews could practice without having to wear distinguishing marks or live in ghetto. We meet several (in por traits) who took up again their Jewish lives once they settled in Amsterdam. Amsterdam at the start of 18th C devel oped into the biggest, most important Jewish city in world. No other city had the synagogues of the size and majesty of the Great Synagogue and Portuguese Synagogue (the largest synagogue in the world) – which served as a symbol of lib eration enjoyed by Jews here. You walk through to another build ing, also a former synagogue, where the exhibit basically tells the “modern” story of Jews here, from 1900 to the present, and especially, the horrifying history of what happened to real people before, during and after the Holocaust. When Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, there were 80,000 Jews living in Amsterdam (- approxi mately 10% of the city population. Throughout the years of German occu pation not many survived. Almost all were deported and exterminated in Nazi concentration camps. When the Nazis came, Jews tried to hide in basements, attics, secret rooms.

The absolutely best place to start my odyssey is the Jewish Museum (pre viously known as the Jewish Historical Museum)  The Jewish Museum is the only museum in the Netherlands that focuses on Jewish history, religion and culture.

Act I: The Twin Towers - did you ever wonder why there were two? When asked why two 110 story build ings instead of one 220 story building, the architect Minoru Yamasaki, with tongue in cheek, replied, “I didn’t want to lose the human scale.” Wags, at the time would have chuckled, “Symbols for David and Nelson Rockefeller.” “Human Scale:” The site for the WTC complex was a thirteen square block area comprising what was called “Radio Row,” home to hundreds of com mercial and industrial tenants, proper ty owners, small electronics businesses and some hundred residences. These would be demolished for the sixteen acreLouissuperblock.Mumford, in his book “The Pentagon of Power,” denounced the center as an “Example of the purpose less giantism and technological exhibi tionism, that are now eviscerating the living tissue of every great city.” His description of the towers later on: “just glass and metal filing cases.” Jane Jacobs weighed in with “the water front should be kept open for all New Yorkers to enjoy!” The Twin Towers were described as looking similar to “the boxes the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building came in.”

Regarding the park, which could be called “Resurrection Park,” a similar army of experts and ordinary “joes” brought life back to a place of death. In this program, a highlight was the plan ning and execution of the two reflect ing pools covering the footprints of the towers, square in design, 208 feet by 208 feet. After many ideas and con cepts were tried and failed, a group of engineers came up with something that can be found in the Liffey River, northwest of Dublin, before the stream flows through the city to the sea. Often described as a young girl, this part of the river dances over rocks, down hills, through trees, flowers and holly bush es. Along the way, the water flows over small dams called weirs. Engineers replicated the weirs in the way the water would flow over the walls of the reflecting ponds. It actually would not flow over the walls at all. Behind the slanted name-holding rock rectangles is a trough of water, which runs over weirs made of metal. Brilliant in it sim plicity, it answered the many problems involved with flowing water over the walls themselves. A more recent program called “Treasures of New York” highlighted the magnificent trees in the memori al park. A teacher-like, middle-aged woman leads tours of the park. As they walk around, she asks them to pick up an acorn which has fallen from the trees, take it home and bury it in the ground. This woman then relates her personal story. On the morning of September 11th she heard her husband’s voice on her answering machine. He was a fireman attached to Squad 41 which was stationed near Yankee Stadium. The squad had been called to the Trade Center. Early in the morning of the next day, the phone rang. No one from Squad 41 could be accounted for. She and her small daughter had lost their husband and father. This widow now showed her tour group a picture of her husband wearing his helmet with 41 on the front, as well as a second picture of him, belted to a tree, trimming limbs from it. He had worked a second job as an Thearborist.second part of the program highlighted a skinny young man with glasses in jeans and a polo shirt, feel ing the bark of one of those trees and then later showing his wife and kids the trees in the park. He had worked for Bartlett Tree Surgeons overseeing the delivery and planting of trees in this beautiful park. Another ordinary “joe.”

Over the years, more fully tenant ed, the Towers would be humanized. Fifty thousand people would be work ing here. The concourse below, with the PATH station, a shopping mall and restaurants, would have some 200,000 people go through it on a daily basis.

In 1981 a 22 story hotel, the Vista, was built south of the towers. This hotel was a great convenience for those, coming from all over the world, to do business in the Towers. In 1975, there was a fire on the 8th floor. It was discovered that there were no fire sprinklers. In 1993, a bomb exploded in the basement. Smoke fil tered up to the 93rd floor. It would take over two hours for people to come down the stairs to exit the building. On this occasion, it was discovered that there were no exit lights in the stair ways. It was said that the buildings could withstand a 727 jet crash into it. But later it seemed that the amount of fuel in the plane at the time was not considered.

Act II: On the morning of September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda hijackers flew two Boeing 767 jets into the complex, begin ning with the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. and then the South Tower at 9:03 a.m. After burning for 56 minutes, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. and 29 minutes later, at 10:28 a.m. (102 min utes after being struck by the plane), the North Tower collapsed. The attacks on the World Trade Center killed 2,606 people.The planes, supposed to fly from Boston’s Logan Airport to California were loaded with 10,000 of fuel. The impact, with the fire that followed, caused the upper floors to collapse and, like a stack of pancakes, collapse floor to floor to bottom, grinding everything in between into dust-like powder.

BY FRANCIS X. SWEENEY Act III: A bill was passed into law, named for one of the cleanup respond ers - Zadroga - insuring health benefits for their, many of them, shortened lifetimes.Thefifteenth anniversary of the 9/11 attack featured the annual reading of the names of the some 2,700 people who died in the collapse of the Twin Towers. The Freedom Tower, their commer cial replacement, a concrete bunker by design, is completed with an antenna on top. More striking is the completed memorial, which now covers most of the former sixteen acre superblock. A documentary on PBS covered the plan ning , engineering and construction of this stunning park. Literally, an army of experts and normal “joes” accom plished the cleanup of debris on the “mound” after the collapse.

A Reflection on the 9/11 Tragedy: The Acorn and the Weirs

“Personal Symbols:” In the 1960s and 1970s David Rockefeller was the Chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank. He had erected a “superblock” in the financial district called 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza. Packages, meant for delivery to this site, were returned for a lack of address. In 1961 he introduced the idea of a large complex to the Port Authority as part of an “urban renew al” project on the lower west side of Manhattan. During this same period, his brother, Nelson Rockefeller, was governor of the state of New York. Financial power and political power resided in the two brothers. The WTC would be created and owned by the Port Authority of NY and NJ. The governor of New Jersey demurred at first, but an agreement to take over the Hudson transit system, which would now be called the PATH (Port Authority Hudson Tubes) and place the WTC over the Hudson terminal for the PATH train, brought him aboard. Yamasaki’s plan called for a square, 208 feet on each side. The buildings were designed with narrow office win dows, 18 inches wide, which reflceted Yamasaki’s fear of heights. He original ly called for the towers to be 80 stories tall, but to meet the Port Authority’s requirement for 10 million square feet of office space, the buildings would each have to be 110 stories tall. To cre ate the most open floor space the plan called for an inner core for stairways, elevators, and restrooms. Steel pillars would enclose the core. The exterior walls would enclose pre-fab columns and trusses. The trusses would be con nected to the floors, which would be load-bearing. The “tube-frame” engi neering designed brought about col umn-free space between the perimeter and the core. The “tube frame” system creat ed a relatively lightweight structure that would sway more in response to the wind compared to traditional structures such as the Empire State Building, that had thick, heavy mason ry for the fireproofing of steel structur al elements. The exterior walls would be sheathed in light aluminum ally. There would be 95 express and local elevators in the WTC. The sys tem would be based on the NYC sub way system, with two “sky lobbies” on the 44th and 78th floors, where peo ple could switch from a large capacity express elevator to a local elevator that went to each floor in the system.

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY

BY TOM MARGENAU

Let’s say Bob is turning 63 in September 2022, and that’s when he wants his ben efits to start. But he is working through the end of August and will make $80,000 from January through August. That is well above the annual earnings thresh old of $19,560, so you might think Bob can’t get any benefits for 2022. But be cause it’s his first year getting benefits, a special monthly rule kicks in. And that rule says that even though Bob is making way more than $19,560 in 2022, he can get a Social Security check for any month he is making less than $1,630 (or one-twelfth of $19,560). Because he won’t be working from September through December (in other words, he’ll be making less than $1,630 in those months), he is due a Social Security check for September through December.Whatamess.

And this mess gets com pounded even more if you are self-em ployed. An extra stipulation is added for these folks. It says that in addition to keeping your income under the yearly or monthly limit, you also must not be per forming substantial services in the busi ness. And the rules say if you are work ing 45 hours or more in a month, then you are performing substantial services in the business. As an example, let’s go back to Bob again who wants his Social Security to start in September 2022 when he will be 63 years old. But instead of working for wages, let’s say Bob owns a little momand-pop motel. And he says when he turns 63, he is going to turn the business over to mom (his wife). But then he says that starting in September, he’s going to keep working “a couple hours a day just to help my wife out.” Well, that comes out to 60 hours per month -- and that’s more than the 45-hour limit, which means Bob will technically still be performing sub stantial services in his business. And according to this dumb earnings penalty law, it means Bob won’t be due any So cial Security benefits. And that gets me back to the farm er I mentioned at the beginning of this column. When I first started working for the SSA in 1973 in a small farming community in central Illinois, these 4

“Well, Tom, you see, I’m a farmer. I got me about 100 acres of beans, and I re ally only work two months a year. I plant those beans in April and I harvest them in October. The rest of the time, I’m pret ty much sitting on my butt. Oh, I mend a fence or two and work on my equipment. But that don’t take no 45 hours, so I want my Social Security check for the other 10 months of the year.” What’s that all about? I’ll get back to the bean farmer in just a bit. But first, I’ve got to tell you all about the Social Se curity “retirement test,” and especially how it applies to self-employed people. I’ve written many times in this col umn about how I despise this part of So cial Security law. It causes headaches for Social Security Administration employ ees, and heartaches and overpayments for Social Security recipients. It’s a terri ble law, and ought to be eliminated. But it’s been a law for almost as long as Social Security has been around -- meaning for about 80 years now. And it’s probably not going away anytime soon, so we’re stuck with it. And I’m stuck with having to ex plain it to you. Once you reach your full retirement age, these antiquated rules go away. But if you are under your full retirement age, and if you are still working, the retire ment test law says this: “For every $2 you earn above a yearly limit (that is current ly $19,560 per year), $1 must be withheld from any Social Security benefits you are due.” The law is called a retirement test because it’s intended to “test” whether you are retired and therefore whether you are eligible for retirement benefits.

Going back to the very beginnings of Social Security, the law always said you had to be “retired” to get “retirement” benefits. And those rules used to apply to everyone. But over the years, Congress gradually lessened the effect of this oner ous law. At first, they said the retirement test would not apply to people over age 72. Then they lowered that to 70. And then they eventually lowered that to full retirement age. So, in other words, if you have reached your full retirement age, you could make a million dollars a year and you could still get your Social Secu rityButchecks.Congress never changed the law for people under full retirement age, so they’re stuck with the “retirement test,” which I more appropriately called the “earnings penalty” because if you are under your full retirement age and on Social Security, you are penalized if you start making more than $19,560 per year. Now, on the surface the law seems pretty cut and dried. So, you may be won dering, “What’s the big deal? Why is this law such a problem?” As with so many things, the devil is in the details. For example, let’s say you are 63 years old and getting Social Secu rity, and you take a part-time job that’s going to pay you $25,000 per year. So, you report that to the Social Security Ad ministration, and they withhold $2,720 from your next couple Social Security checks. (That’s one-half of what you plan to make over $19,560.) But then you get laid off after making only $20,000, so now the SSA owes you some money back. But then a couple months later, you find another job and now the SSA must start withholding some of your benefits again. And then later in the year, you get a big bonus and the SSA has to withhold even more. But then the following year, you quit that job and now the SSA owes you money. It just becomes a vicious cycle of overpayments and underpayments. As I said, it’s an administrative nightmare for the SSA and a big hassle for the Social Se curityAndbeneficiary.Ihaven’t even gotten into the special rules that apply in the first year you start getting benefits and in the year you reach your full retirement age. And for the purposes of this column, I’ll only explain the former. In the first year you start drawing Social Security checks, a special monthly earnings test can apply.

That test says that even if your yearly earnings exceed the annual earnings lim it, you are due a Social Security check for any month you earn less than a monthly limit -- which is always one-twelfth of the yearly amount.

According to many sources, there supposedly will be another 3/4 point increase this month, so that will most likely further cool off the local and national real estate market. Demand will decrease and slow further, but the cost of housing will continue to increase at a more moderate rate, due to still very low inventory, until it becomes more normalized at 5-6 months. This will then favor neither seller nor pur

If you can find any grass seed for sale, it will probably be OK if it was stored in a cool, dry location this summer. Each label will tell you in which planting year that package was meant to be sold and installed. Grass seed can last for several years if it is stored properly. Remember: cool and dry. If it was left outside in a hot storage area or if it was in high humidity where the bag became damp, don’t buy it.

Inflation was increasing in 2021 to 4.7% but by December 2021 increased to 7% and has continued to increase through August 2022. Knowing this information, I have stated in a previous column that I believed increased rates should have been implemented early in 2021, but for whatever reason, Jerome Powell waited until March 2022. He didn’t want to shut the economy down, but kicking the can down the road only put off the inevitable that we are cur rently experiencing. He allowed a mul titude of new homeowners and moveup buyers to purchase at the lowest rates in history, which you would sur mise would be a benefit to the economy, but at the expense of increasing infla tion. With all that cheap money, stocks really became inflated, but many are now down from 20-50% and real estate is softening. Real Estate has decelerat ed and moderated and is taking longer for offers and sales to occur.

How will inflation affect the value of real estate?

REAL ESTATE WATCH

Inflation is here and probably will be staying with us much longer than we expect or want. The excessive printing of money from 2020-2022 was greater than all the money printed in the past 200+ years and was the major cause of the excessive increase over the last year. The excessive avail ability of money in the market with the historically low-interest rates, with the over the top demand, created a buying frenzy diminishing housing inventory as well as the limited avail ability of consumer goods and services. According to https://whitehouse.gov back in Sept 2021, the Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index had risen 18.6% from Sept 20-Sept 21 and the greatest increase since the inception of the Case-Shiller index. Rental prices have now also increased wildly up 10.1% higher in 2021 than 2020 increasing 5 times faster than in 2020 according to Realtor.com’s monthly Rental Report. By the end of 2021 national rents were up double digits for the previous 6 months. The national median rent for a 1 bedroom at that time was $1651. up 19.3% over the previous year. Rents are the highest in NYC. However, rent increases have slowed and so far in 2022 are up 7.2% compared to 14.8% at the same time last year according to apartmentlist. com. Year-over-year rent increases have slowed to 10% compared to the high of 18% at the beginning of 2022. The only solution in the past was to raise interest rates as all the Fed Chairs over the past 42 years have done. But timing is the key and the truth is, no one, not even the Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, hasn’t been able to accomplish this feat. So far, the old solution has not been as successful so far and in the short and near term or longer, we will have greater economic pain.

chaser. However, prices will eventually soften fur ther in 2023 and potentially become more of a buyer’s market.Rental properties and real estate have generally always been an excellent hedge against inflation as a hard asset. Also, wellrun profitable businesses in energy and food staples are other entities in strong positions to weather the storm and become more valuable. As long as ten ants pay their rent and your expenses of ownership, then those values will increase as the cost of replacement escalates with inflation. However, one must be smart and prudent especially if you are a new investor when purchas ing properties for cash flow or fixing and flipping. One needs to crunch the numbers, watching interest rates and the price you pay, to make sure there is an adequate ROI and cushion to earn sufficient income. We are in a housing recession with respect to slow ing sales and construction, as fewer permits are being applied for according to Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors. Although rent increases have slowed, affordability becomes a serious ques tion, and residing where you are for now might be your best solution; while waiting and hoping rates will decrease while also saving more for a down payment.Weall see our world in such tremen dous turmoil financially and political ly. The big question is will history con tinue to repeat itself as real estate and certain hard assets have always been an excellent hedge and safer haven for wealth creation due to inflation? Or will our shaky house of cards con tinue to erode as our debts continue to mount; territorial conflicts aren’t resolved with no end in sight? Will our fiat currency become even more dilut ed and morph into something more hybrid? Will real estate lose its’ value? Or maybe, somehow and someway we’ll come out of this economic and tumultuous and turbulent situation stronger and smarter? Readers, what are your thoughts?

Moreover, Biden’s plan forgives $10,000 of student debt from loans that had been fully dispersed by June 30, 2022, only if your income is less than $125,000 and less than $250,000 for cou ples filing a joint federal tax return. However, this may be a slight ben efit for those in debt but this unfortunately will also continue to add to our inflation problems. More importantly, the forgiveness program will continue to add to our future inflation, as many now have and will con tinue borrowing making an assumption that in the future a por tion will also be forgiven, which is not necessarily the case according to the current rules but never say never.

guys figured out how to circumvent this dumb law (which had slightly different rules back then). They told me they only worked over 45 hours per month on the farm in April (when they planted crops) and October (when they harvested crops), meaning they supposedly were not performing substantial services on their farm the other 10 months of the year. And that meant they could get So cial Security checks for those months each year.

I knew they were lying. They knew they were lying. But because we obvi ously didn’t have the staff to spend time investigating all the farmers in the two counties we serviced, there was really nothing I could do about it. I can’t repeat often enough: It’s a dumb law and a mess to administer!

LOST IN SUBURBIA Old Yeller

Neptune was discovered after astron omers learned that the planet Uranus, which William Herschel had found six and a half decades earlier, didn’t keep to the precise path skywatchers had expected.Ayoung English astronomer named John Couch Adams calculated that the motion of Uranus was apparently being affected by another world that lay beyond and its gravitation was tugging on it. Adams even calculated where this unknown planet might be found; unfortunately, no one in England ever bothered to search for it.

I was concerned, so I went to look for him and discovered that the bathroom door was closed. I knocked and asked him if he was in there.“Yes,” came the muffled reply. “Is everything all right?” I said, because that was another thing my fam ily would do if someone was in the bath room longer than five minutes. I have no idea why we did this. What was likely to happen in the bathroom that would be an emergency and possibly necessitate a call to 911? “Hello, operator, I need an ambulance. My husband is constipated.” It defied explanation, yet every time my dad went to the bathroom and lingered, my mother would yell: “HARVEY, IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT IN THERE?” And every time, my dad would yell back:“YES!”

But there was no reply. So, I yelled again:“JOEL, WHERE ARE YOU?” No reply.

BY TRACY BECKERMAN

So, on any given day, my mother would“HARVEY,yell: WHERE ARE YOU?” From across the house he’d yell, “I’M IN THE BATHROOM!” Then she’d yell back, “OH. DON’T FORGET TO PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN!”Obviously, at this point, everyone in the house, in the neighborhood and in the state knew my father was in the bathroom and usually left the toilet seat up.Naturally, because of the way I grew up, I thought everybody yelled like this. So, one day after my husband and I first got married, we were in the house, and I yelled:“JOEL, WHERE ARE YOU?”

COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS

I come from a family of yellers. We wouldn’t yell at one another; we would yell to one another. Specifically, from one end of the house to the other. These were the days before texting, when you couldn’t just message someone to find out where they were. No, back in the day, if you wanted to find someone, you needed a good hearty holler across the house to locate the missing person. This was especially true in my family. It may have been genetic because my grand parents were yellers, and their parents before them. Apparently, there was a lot of yelling back in the old country. Or maybe my family was just hard of hearing and didn’t know it. Or it could have just been the fact that we were from New York... not the most genteel state in the union.

And she’d respond, “OK. DON’T FORGET TO PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN!” When my husband finally came out of the bathroom, he looked very annoyed. “What’s the matter?” I asked him. “I don’t like it when you yell across the house for me, and I especially don’t like it when I’m in the bathroom and you ask if everything is all right.” I frowned. But I’m flexible. I could change. I nodded.

The same was true in France where Urbain Le Verrier independently made the same calculations. Again, no one seemed to care. But Le Verrier didn’t give up. He showed his calculations to the German astronomer Johann Galle, who aimed his telescope skyward and found the new planet -- eventually named Neptune -- on his very first night of searching! That was in 1846 and, since then, few beginning stargazers have ever even looked for this distant world. Well, now’s a good time to change that because, this week, Neptune reaches its opposition point where it not only lies at its nearest to Earth -- about 2.69 billion miles -- but also shines at its brightest. Finding Neptune among the faint stars of Aquarius isn’t easy, however, and since this distant world is invisible to the unaided eye, you’ll need to use “star-hopping” techniques and have a very dark rural sky, binoculars and lots of patience to spot it. First, find brilliant Jupiter in the eastern sky, and the faint star Phi Aquarii to its west; that star forms a nice little “arrow” that aims at right angles to Jupiter. Aim your binoculars about two-thirds of the way between Jupiter and Phi. There, you might spot Neptune as a faint bluish “star.” A small telescope aimed in this direction will show a distinctive bluish-green hue that distinguishes it from neighboring stars. If you’re not sure you’ve found it, sketch the area, being careful to mark every star in its exact position. Then, a week or two later, check out this same region of the sky and see which of the faint objects has changed its position. That’s Neptune! If needed, you can visit theskylive. com/neptune-info for a more detailed finder chart for the planet. As challenging as Neptune might be to find, there’s something really special about seeing with our own eyes the far thest planet of our solar system!

Remember a few years back when Pluto was deemed to be no longer a planet? The internet erupted with pro tests. “Why isn’t Pluto a planet?” people cried. “It was a planet when I went to school and, as far as I’m concerned, it stillWell,is!” scientists are in the business of classifying everything, and when new data or understanding becomes avail able, they must reclassify objects to make them better fit the scheme. So, it should have come as no surprise to anyone who follows science that astron omers reclassified Pluto, a tiny ice ball near the edge of our planetary system, as a “dwarf planet.” And that means that Pluto’s reclassi fication out of official planethood gives the honor of being the most distant planet from the sun to Neptune.
