Athletes Do Not Go To War

On

February 11th, 2016

I wrote a

Post

about two completely different subjects,

from one another.

It was a

Thursday Night,

so I was probably watching

American Football

on

TV

and heard some

Athlete

spout off how important the

Game

coming up was.

I still believe what I wrote that day in my

Post

JPL Has A Poster For You.

But,

I should have written two different stories,

about two different subjects.

*****

"We choose to go to the Moon! ...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win!"

Even though I was five years old when

John F. Kennedy

said those famous words,

they are burned into my memory banks,

because as a family,

we all sat around our little black

and white
TV

and watched his historic speech.

I am going to go off track for a moment here,

because of the word
Historic.

I'm sick

and tired of hearing

Musicians,

Actors,

and especially

Athletes

tell the
World
that what they are doing is
Historic. 

Or,
like
Athletes
like to say,

where a game they play for money,

that they will be going into

"Battle,"

and it will be a

"War"

out there between two teams.

Movies,

Music,

and

Sports

is entertainment events only.

Not

Historic,

a
Battle,

 or a
War.

The
Men & Women
who serve their
Country,

whichever
Country
that may be in this
World,

are the true
Heroes
in life.
They go into
Real Battles.
Where people get hurt

or are killed!

Real major events,
that touch everyone.

These events shape our
World,

and these events are
Historic!

Nothing else.

I was going to use this idea in a story about an alternative universe
type of story,

but I believe this would be an excellent time to make my point with
this idea.

Instead of having our kids trading

Basketball Cards,

Football Cards,

and

Baseball Cards,

pretending those folks on these cards are heroes,

we should start a trading card business which offer

True Decorated Heroes

of famous battles.

True War Heroes.

A set of cards depicting all the

Great Scientists

over the years

and all the winners of the

Nobel Peace Prize.

That is what we should be telling are kids are the true heroes in life.
Like

Martin Luther King Jr.,

Nelson Mandela,

Mother Teresa,

Albert Einstein,

Aristotle,

Confucius,

and I could go on
and on about people who should be honored,

and they are not.

OK,

I really went off track here because that pet peeve of mine has been eating away at my brain for sometime.

The story I started

and what I wanted to tell you about is

NASA's

release of
14 Tourism Posters.

They are already enticing the public to save their money,

so that in the future,

we will all be taking vacations out into
Space.

You can download all them for free

and not worry about copyright laws.

On their

JPL

 website.

This is,

Hoping I Live Long Enough To Make It To Mars,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"Peace is more precious than diamonds or silver or gold."

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Two New Commenters

On Sundays,

I like to look at the past week,

and bring up any

"Comments"

that people have left on my

Posts.

Sorry to say that,

most of this year,

I either have had

People

leaving bogus

Comments

so they can leave their

Links

to stuff that they want you to buy,

like on my story

The Girl, The Gun, And The Broken Heart Tattoo,

 or

Comments

left by my one

Troll,

like on my

Post

I Crashed.

But,

maybe I have cracked the code.

On my

Post

Why The Tardis Is The Perfect Spacetime Machine,

two new commenters,

whom I have never seen before,

left their opinions.

Both very favorably I might add.

The fist one read,

Mel July 24, 2018 at 8:07 PM

Great minds always ask, "What if?"

I always knew I would be

"Great"

one day.

I know,

my humility is showing.

The second comment read,

Ambiguity July 28, 2018 at 8:12 PM

Great Post.
"It may be that our cosmic curiosity... is a genetically-encoded force that we illuminate when we look up and wonder."
-Neil deGrasse Tyson

Ambiguity even quoted one of my favorite

Podcasters!

Yes,

I make up words all the time in my writings.

This is,

Thanking Mel

And Ambiguity For Their Kind Words,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

Funny How Outerspace Is

I got the chance to retire at the ripe old age of

Fifty-Three.

This past

June 6th

my youngest graduated from

High School.

So,

for just about ten years I had kids going to school.

Five of them in

2008.

I found that the only way to get through those

Teenage High School Years

was to have a sense of humor.

I hope you have one too!

A blond, a brunette, and a redhead are interviewing for a new NASA experiment on sending women to different planets.

First, the panel of scientists asks the brunette,

"If you could go to any planet, what planet would you choose and why?"

She answers promptly,

"I would go to Mars because it seems so interesting with all the recent news about possible extra terrestrial life on the planet."

Next, the panel asks the redhead the same question.

Without any hesitation, she replies,

"I'd like to go to Saturn to see all of its rings."

Finally, the NASA scientists ask the blonde the same question they asked the brunette and the redhead.

After pondering for several minutes, she finally answers,

"I would go to the sun."

Several scientists suppress a laugh, but the lead interviewer, trying to take the blonde seriously, explains,

"Well, if you went to the sun, you'd burn to death almost instantaneously."

The blond smirks and puts her hands on her hips.

"Don't be stupid! I'd go at night!"

Did you hear about the great new restaurant on the moon?
The food is excellent, but there's no atmosphere.

What do you call a moon out of orbit?
A Lunatic!

What kind of music do planets listen to?

Neptunes!

What do planets like to read?

Comet books!

What did the alien say to the cat?

Take me to your litter.

Why don’t aliens eat clowns?

Because they taste funny!

This is,

Hoping I Brought A Chuckle To Your Lips,

Clean Meat

I first heard about this on the podcast

Star Talk Radio.

Where

Neil deGrasse Tyson

interviews

Paul Shapiro

on his book called,

(Are you ready for this?)

"Clean Meat."

On

The Good Food Institute's

web-site,

cleanmeat.og,

they explain what

Clean Meat

is.

In case you have not heard about it before.

WHAT IS CLEAN MEAT?

   Clean meat, which is also referred to as "cultured meat," is a groundbreaking technology that is poised to revolutionize the global food system.
   Rather than obtaining meat from animals raised on environmentally destructive factory farms and slaughtered in filthy slaughterhouses, clean meat is produced by taking a small sample of animal cells and replicating them in a culture outside of the animal. The resulting product is 100 percent real meat, but without the antibiotics, E. coli, salmonella, or waste contamination – all of which come standard in conventional meat production.
   Dr. Mark Post of Maastricht University proved meat could be created this way when he debuted the first clean meat hamburger in London in 2013–at a cost of roughly $330,000.
   To put the developments of the past few years into perspective, the San Francisco startup Memphis Meats is now producing clean meat for $40 per gram, which is less than one - fiftieth of the cost from just a few years ago. And Dr. Post’s company, Mosa Meats, plans to sell its clean meat hamburgers for $10 a patty by 2020.
   The end goal is to produce clean meat that is cheaper than even the least expensive conventionally produced chicken. Leading experts believe that is achievable within 10 years given adequate support for clean meat research and development.

What has me interested in this product

has nothing to do with its taste.

I am all for it for one huge reason.

About 80 percent of antibiotics produced in the U.S. are given to farm animals. This steady stream of antibiotics contributes to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and superbugs that cannot be killed by standard antibiotics. Clean meat does not require the use of antibiotics.

Superbugs

is becoming a real problem in this

World.

 If we can stop slaughtering farm animals for food,

 grow cleaner food for our tables,

and stop pumping our food with antibiotics,

sign me up for the first

$10 Clean Meat Burger!

This is,

Never Going To Buy The

Most Expensive Burger At $1,768.00

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“A hamburger, and a hot dog are very different, but they do share a common goal. They both want to be eaten.”
- Anthony T. Hincks -

That is my and I am sticking to it!

Why The Tardis Is The Perfect Spacetime Machine

Often,

in my reading repertoire,

I will go back

and reread one of my favorite books from my youth.

I recently decided to reread

"The Time Machine,"

by

H.G. Wells.

A classic?

Of course.

But,

reading it as an adult,

it got me thinking.

Spoiler Alert.

H. G. Wells' main character invents a

Time Machine,

which he uses to travel 800,000 years into the future.

I thought about this. 
Time Traveling,

on its own.

First,

the basics.

   Would you be able to breath? During the Permian–Triassic extinction period, enormous volcanic eruptions filled the air with carbon dioxide, which fed different kinds of bacteria that began emitting large amounts of methane. The Earth warmed, and the oceans became acidic. Killing 96% of life that existed at the time. With today's Global Warming, who is to say what kind of atmosphere the Earth will have 800,000 years into the future.
   Now, how does one know, when traveling 800,000 years into the future, that the spot where you started from, isn't now part of a large oak tree, or maybe part of a building, and you materialize into one of them? Or, through Plate Tectonics, that your land mass where you started from isn't now underwater? Remember, 270 million years ago, there was only one land mass on Earth called Pangaea. Until it broke up, because of those Plate Tectonics, into the Continents we love and know today.
   Eight hundred thousand years into the future, why would you think that you would materialize on the same spot anyways. A million or two, years ago, the Earth was spinning on it's Axis a lot faster then it is today. Due to a transfer of the Earth's rotational momentum to the Moon's orbital momentum, which is called tidal friction. This is slowing the Earth's rotation down. It is only 4 cm a year, or 1.57480315 inches per year. But, times that by 800,000 years, you will have moved 19.8838782 miles away from your original starting point.
   You might also be buried underground. It is estimated that almost 300 metric tons of cosmic dust and meteorites falls to the Earth each day. The Earth is getting bigger. Three hundred metric tons might not seem like a lot, but times that by 800,000 years and you get 5.29109e11 pounds of extra debris on the planet. (This Link is for those who don't know what the e stands for on a calculator.) Sure, a lot of it falls into the oceans today, but what of the future?
   Now it goes deeper then this. At first I figured, since the Earth is traveling through space at a rate of 19 miles per second on it's elliptical orbit around the Sun, you would have to choose the same date each year for your materializing or landing on the Earth. You would have to calculate in for each Leap Year as you travel because it takes the Earth 365.242375 days to travel around the Sun. If you choose some random date, the Earth might be on the opposite side of the Sun.
   But it even gets deeper. According to NASA, our solar system is orbiting the center of the milky galaxy at a velocity of about 828,000km/h or 514,000 mph. Which means, even if you only went forward one year in time, our solar system would have moved 187,610,000 miles away from the spot you started from. You would end up closer to a Mars' orbit then to the planet Earth's.

This is why

Time Travel

is so difficult.

Besides the power constraints.

You have to calculate in

Minkowski's Space.
The person who first came up with the concept of
Spacetime.
You will need a craft that travels in
Space
as well as in
Time.

Which brings us back to the

Tardis.

The perfect

Spacetime Traveling Machine.

This is,

Yes,

This Is The Kind Of Stuff I Think About,

Great Time To Be A White Hat Hacker

Do you want to make some real money,

but can't seem to find your way into the

Black Hat Hacker Groups

called

ShadowCrew

or

Mazafaka?

That's because one of the groups is now defunct

and the other is always on the run.

So,

why don't you turn your attention away from the underground

Black Hat Hacker Groups

and go above ground as a

White Hat Hacker?

White-Hat Hackers Earnings Sky-Rocket as Cyber Vulnerabilities on the Rise

by Dominique Adams @montagetime for DIGIT.com

Hacker powered security programmes are rapidly becoming a global phenomenon and as a result the business of bug bounties has become immensely lucrative. Experts predict that by 2022, hacker powered security will be used by more than 50% of enterprises. Data from HackerOne, the world’s largest bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure platform, has revealed that white-hat hackers are finding more severe vulnerabilities than ever before. As of May 2018, more than 72,000 vulnerabilities have been resolved on HackerOne, with more than one-third of those (27,000) resolved in the past year alone. Due to these increasingly positive outcomes, the average award for a critical vulnerability jumped by 33% to $20,000 for the top awarding programmes. A total of 116 unique critical vulnerabilities earned over $10,000 each in the past year.
The top bounty awarded for a single report reached $75,000 in 2017, with the most competitive programmes, such as Google, Microsoft and Intel, offering $250,000 bounty awards for critical issues. Marten Mickos, CEO of HackerOne said: “The world is embracing the highly skilled and creative hacker community to help reduce cyber risk.

Now that's what I am talking about!

Do it Legally.

This is,

Wishing I Had Stayed With Opening Up Back Doors,

Computer Codes,

Algorithms,

Botnets,

and

Encryption.

“Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on. Unfortunately, endpoint security is so terrifically weak that NSA can frequently find ways around it.”

The Five Best Posts Of May, 2018

Last month,

when I wrote

The Five Best Posts Of April, 2018,

three out of the five most viewed

Posts

were stories from my serial,

The Man From Mars.

Sorry that I haven't kept up with the serial since I came back from my vacation.

Nowadays,

I have to go to the local library to write these

Posts,

and I only get a half hour of computer time.
An hour,
if no one is here.

I plan on reading the serial from the beginning when I begin writing stories for it again,

so I don't mix up the characters,

places,

and events.

Until then,

I hope you will be contented with my usual

Posts

about

Science,

Politics,

Humor,

and

Story Telling.

Oh,

and if you haven't been reading my

Posts

from the last couple of months,

I have had two computers crash on me

and an ex-friend will not give me back my software so I can fix them.

Microsoft,

I do not hand out my software freely,

so don't worry about your

Intellectual Property.

While I was gone,

my old friend took my software without my permission.

But enough about my minor problems.

Here are 

The Five Best Posts Of May, 2018!

The Fifth Best Post Of May, 2018 Is;

Zombie Pandemic

This is a Posts on how the CDC, or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. How they could not find a way for people to download their PDF files on preparedness for natural disasters. Then they came up with the idea to call it a Zombie Pandemic. It still is the same preparedness techniques used for a tornado or a hurricane, but the theme is different. Once they did this, their website crashed because so many people wanted to get their hands on the file!

The Fourth Best Post Of May Is;

Ghost Apps

What can I say? The name alone should be self explanatory. You can now search for Ghosts on your own. Yes, you can now download Ghost Apps for your iPhone or Android phone. And a man by the name of Matt Crowley has actually rated ten of them for the iPhone.

The Third Best Posts Is;

Call MUFON Before Being Probed

The U.S. Government says they no longer research every UFO siting in the United States. But if you see one, who you gonna call? MUFON, that's who. The Mutual UFO Network. They have stuff like, a link to Report a UFO. You can Support Their Research. Talk to an Experiencer Research Team member. Or subscribe to their monthly MUFON Journal. Check them out. They have other fun stuff too!

 The Second Best Post Is;

So I Am Saying It Again

This Post, being the second most popular Post of the month, kind of surprises me. It is my Political opinion about our current President. Usually, when I talk about him, I get Trolls hating me, and people sending me emails saying they will never read my Blog again. Well, if they are not going to read my stuff, why do they keep commenting on it? Haters love this Hater.

 

The Number One Best Posts Of May, 2018 Is; 

The Man From Mars - Season Three - Episodes 31 to 45

Wow, thank you. It just goes to show how popular The Man From Mars serial really is. The Post Is basically has links to Episodes 31 through 45. Making it easier to find those Posts. An information page, I like to say.

   

There you have it.

The Five Best Posts Of May, 2018.

Comic Con Back In San Diego

I am wearing one of my favorite

Doctor Who

 t-shirts today.

The one picturing the first

Eleven Doctors.

People were asking if I have been,

or if I am,

going to

Comic Con

this year.

I Wish!

I have been to a comic book convention in

San Jose, California

before,

but nothing compares to the

San Diego Comic Con.

The problem is,

the big crowds

and the cost.

I would not mind buying some kind of

VIP Pass,

if they sold one.

So I could move around easier.

Otherwise,

I am contented on knowing that I am close to being an

O.G. Doctor Who Fan

as there is in the world.

I have been watching

Doctor Who

since 1975,

collected and recorded video tapes of the show,

when they still made video tapes,

went to web-sites dedicated to the show during the 1990s,

was gifted an

Sonic Screwdriver

by my kids,

and got four of my children hooked as

Whovians,

 and so on.

Actually,

that part about getting my children hooked might have more to do with

David Tennant

and

Matt Smith

then me influencing my four girls.

 

From

BBC.com/news 

at

Comic Con.

"Here is a glimpse at the new look Doctor Who."

When the Doctor gets regenerated, it always marks the beginning of a big change in the series - a whole new look, new assistant and this time, a whole new gender. We all know that Jodie Whittaker is taking over and Comic-Con fans were treated to a glimpse of the first female Doctor at a time when gender in film and television is a huge talking point. Showrunner Chris Chibnall, who was part of a panel made up of Whittaker, her companions Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole, plus exec producer Matt Strevens, said this series is different as it features writers of colour for the first time, along with female guest writers, directors and editors. "People need to know the business is for them as well," Strevens said. The trailer, which was shown to audiences, also appeared to confirm rumours that one episode will explore the civil rights movement in the United States. One shot shows the Doctor and her friends in front of a building which bears more than a strong resemblance to the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee where Martin Luther King was shot dead in 1968.

In the background the words 'Montgomery Motor Freight' can just be made out. The city of Montgomery is where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger and was arrested. It sparked huge protests involving Parks and a young Martin Luther King. Montgomery later became known as the home of the Civil Rights movement.

 

The crowd not only got to see the new trailer, but also the Doctor's new sonic screwdriver. Whittaker revealed it to fans on stage and it appeared to have had quite the makeover, although the screwdriver still had its iconic sound, so there's no need to panic!

This is,

Charmed

Is Coming Back This Fall

Urged To Vote Democratic

Ex-FBI Head James Comey urges Public to vote Democrate

By Sophie Tatum, CNN 

  Former FBI Director James Comey is urging "all who believe in this country's values" to vote for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. In a tweet on Tuesday evening, Comey called the Republican-held Congress "incapable of fulfilling the Founders' design."

  "This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders' design that 'Ambition must ... counteract ambition.' All who believe in this country's values must vote for Democrats this fall. Policy differences don't matter right now. History has its eyes on us,"  he wrote.

  He also spoke out Monday against the President's comments at his joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "This was the day an American president stood on foreign soil next to a murderous lying thug and refused to back his own country. Patriots need to stand up and reject the behavior of this president," Comey said on Twitter.
   James Comey served under both Republican and Democratic administrations. He noted that he had been registered as a Republican most of his life, adding that he is no longer.
  The former FBI director has been vocal about his frustration with the Republican Party before, and in April he said he could no longer "be associated with it."
  He continued in his interview with ABC News saying: "I see the Republican Party, as near as I can tell, reflects now entirely on Donald Trump's values."
  "It doesn't reflect values at all. It's transactional, it's ego-driven, it's in service to his ego," he added.

This is,

Like I Have Been Saying All A Long.

Donald Trump Is Running This Country Like A Corporation.

And He Is Trying To Find A Way Fire The American People!

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Before corrupt leaders seize power, they fit reality to their lies.
Their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for true facts. For, in their opinion, facts depend entirely on the power of man who can fabricate them.”
