- World Sparrow Day 2020
-
One of those things I've taken for granted in my lifetime has been the tiny sparrow.
These birds have been a part of my existence for as long as I can remember, yet it would appear that they and other urban dwelling species have fallen on difficult times.
World Sparrow Day is a day designated to raise awareness of the house sparrow and other citified birds that perhaps they might thrive in a better manner than we see on the sidewalks of those urban jungles where they fend for themselves capturing various scraps disgarded by the denizens of that urban jungle we inhabit during the workaday world.
Their plight has been made known to us by those persons of India who indeed care for people and creatures much better than many of us american natives and indeed I am shamed by their insight when I compare it to my own.
It would seem that biodiversity includes those species that flit about us as we pursue the workday in the cities of the world for indeed they occupy that same importance we might apply to the more mainstream of those endangered species.
His Eye Is On the Sparrow
Why should I feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heavenly home
When Jesus is my portion?
And my constant friend is He
You know, His eye is on the little sparrow
And I know he cares for you and me
His eye is on the little sparrow
And I know God is watching over you and me
I sing because my soul is a happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye, it is on the little sparrow
And I know He's watching over you and me

- Saint Joseph's Day 2020
-
Today is Saint Joseph's Day aka the Feast of Saint Joseph.
Joseph was the stepfather of Christ. Can you imagine the honor of being the earthly man chosen as the husband of the blessed virgin Mary and legal father and guardian of the only begotten son of the one true God.
The Bible does not elaborate on the life of Joseph much after returning from the flight to Egypt to escape Herod. Scholars generally believe that he passed early in the raising of Christ and that the period of time from his youth til his ministry was spent largely in the presence of his maternal great Uncle Joseph of Arimathea.
The recognition of Joseph goes back millenia and denominational religion as well as international cultures have varying observances of his stature as the stepfather of Christ.
Regardless, the memory of Joseph for who he was is sanctified by the traditions of God as related through the apostles and subsequently the various churches which have evolved over time.
Surely there can be no higher calling than to serve the one true God as trustee of His issue.

- Nasopharyngeal Experiments in Health
-
We're having a fair amount of local hubbub regarding Chinese Wuhan COVID-19 to the point that office procedures have been modified to include telecommuting and eliminating non essential employees.
Toward that end I decided that an attempt at prophylaxis is in order with my advanced age coupled with those risk factors as explained to me — as well as my need to get things done which don't lend themselves to telecommuting such as OCR and document capture.
Also, I have become a large screen addict and I'm afraid the 13 inch screen on my notebook simply doesn't do it for me anymore.
All of this being said I retrieved my trusty bottle of 10,000 ppm colloidal silver from the medicine cabinet, gave my schnozz a good blow out, then placed four drops of colloidal silver in each nare.
Initially there was that old familiar "nosedrops" feeling I recalled from my childhood adventures of a similar nature with Vicks products. After a couple of moments I felt the solution sliding down the back of my nasopharynx and it seemed that the lower it went there was a slight burn to the area being affected.
Five minutes later I felt totally normal and there was no more of the slight post nasal drip I had experienced over the past week or so.
That which remains is my notion of efficacy ... will the solution make a difference when the Chinese Wuhan COVID-19 strain of coronavirus becomes dull and commonplace in the everyday ocurrences of people or will there be some level of deliverance from the pathology associated therewith ?
Time will tell and we will see. If things progress favorably I can see another application down the line at some time in the future.

- Fantasy Prone with Vivid Imagery
-
Youngness is accompanied by various deficits of reality which are typically transparent to the young one. That state which is "young" also does not remain as a well defined period in the development of someone's mind.
Indeed, we mature at different rates and it is a well known fact that maturity and age are not mutually inclusive. I am living proof of this fact.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
In that sum total of who we are we are also subject to the "age of accountability" ... which is an age at which we understand enough to be held responsible for our actions.
1 Corinthians 13:11
Holy Bible, King James Version
The only problem with this provision in scripture lay with the others with whom an immature individual may find themself involved.
The most common derision cast towards others in this situation is the dreaded aspersion known as "retard". Others at this stage of my game wonder why I use this term so easily when referring to others when I personally hated it so.
It's because who I have become eclipses all the immaturity, all the stupidity, all the lack of awareness I once suffered and I'm at the top of my game with skills and knowledge beyond enough others that I can exhibit my own contempt for how I was treated by acquaintances coming up.
You may take your haughty ass into your own hands in my presence if you're too casual or pushy. I can dress a person down or immerse them in all manner of coddling as my perception of the situation requires. Apologies are likewise a thing of the past if I figure I'm correct in my handling of any abrasive encounter.
I have a lot of problems but being wrong stopped being one of them quite a few years back. Disagreements may continue unabated.
So if you meet me on the street step back think about it prior to taking me on. I'm not one to suffer feminists, social justice warriors, millennial boys with manbuns, backstabbing so-called "friends" from my past, etc. Couple this with a general lack of fear, a strong overhand right, and a certain facility with weapons and you might just draw back a nub if you want to give it a go. It's your choice.
Yeah, I can be pretty gaul dern mean ... but I got it honest while trying to be the proverbial 'nice guy' during my upbringing. Those of you who asked for it ... I hope your're happy with it. Turns out I am not quite the idiot you thought you knew so well.

- The Chinese Wuhan Virus
-
Yes. The COVID-19 strain of coronavirus is one of those creations of China.
They were engaged in germ warfare in an attempt to kill all of us when it became loosed on their own people.
They suppressed information with their antiamerican tactic and even locked up their so-called dissident physicians and killed their citizens to suppress the facts.
So now we are left with a number of supply chain issues created by our own lack of foresight and the greed of manufacturers ...
Particularly in the areas of pharmaceuticals and network electronics.
We need to boycott China. Expel their diplomats. Deport their citizens who are here just to steal intellectual property as they have been doing primarily since the stupid Clinton administration and in general become more self sufficient in all areas to the exclusion of China as well as those who would do business with them.
Companies need to be held accountable for these intellectual property thefts which include the entirety of the monitizing Clintons and the crook ass "Friends of Bill" associated therewith.
We need to stop being stupid in international business and the democrats continue to lead us down that rosy path to nowhere except subserviance to foreign nationals. This is the legacy of the stupid brigand Barack Obama and his first ladyboy big Mike.
Outsourcing has never been the answer. We need to be competent to handle our own affairs and this is not happening because of those poor examples set by government entities.

- Gone Coronavirus Crazy
-
The COVID-19 virus pandemic has a lot of us going crazy.
I'm not saying that it is unwarranted behavior ...
But the results are somewhat disturbing and the resulting news regarding domestic situations can be down right inaccurate.
I was told there was no toilet paper in the stores. I was told there was no bottled water. I was told there was no hand sanitizer or tissues either.
So I go to the local store and voila, I walked out with all those paper products for which I had ran out and pretty much got everything else I wanted besides clorox bleach.
They had brand X but I wanted what I usually buy. So I went home to my half gallon remaining and pondered the news reporting compared to the facts and realized that the consumer items I most wanted were still in good supply.
So today I am sitting at home with various sundries and about twice the toilet paper I need because I took news reports to heart.
Now I'm wondering just how this came about. Is it truly 'fake' news or is it just that I shop where many of the others reporting shortages don't.
I hope that your shopping has gone at least as well as mine. I didn't get everything I was seeking, but I figure all but one item can't be that bad in light of the fact that there were alternatives available that I could have purchased in lieu of the brand I was after.
However, it remains quite early in the pandemic.

- Albert Einstein would have been 141 Today
-
On my living room wall hangs a portrait of Albert Einstein. It is a younger formal coat and tie photograph and it has been hanging there as a vestige of my old teaching days at the hated local technical college and it has acquired sentimental value over the years.
Albert Einstein
March 14, 1879 – April 18 1955
My affinity for Einstein lies in that intellect he projected, his humility, and the various adventures I've had perusing his writings.
Inasmuch as my physics is quite a bit beyond the realm of sophomoric on the downscale of science it's a matter of personal integrity that I allow him to continue to be in my face to set me in my dismal intellectual place.
Be all of this as it may, I continue to have great respect for his memory and will likely continue to encounter his writings over time as I have done since childhood.
Einstein was a German Jew ... that group from where a great many of the most powerful brains originate among humans.
He developed his theory of relativity which has remained a stanchion in both modern physics with his resultant mass-energy equivalence formula which is likely one of the most known equation on the planet. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Theoretical Physics in 1921 and the law of photoelectric effect his is a longstanding foundation in the development of quantum theory.
He was published prolifically with about 300 papers and a substantial body of nonscientific work as well. He passed this earthly existence some four days after I was born.
Someday I may understand much more of his work than I presently do. However, it seems like quite the distant objective at this late stage of my game.

- Remembering Charles Krauthammer
-
In my life I have been influenced by those with whom I agree as well as those with whom I have disagreements. One of those individuals with whom I did not always agree, but always respected was journalist Charles Krauthammer.
Dr Charles Krauthammer was the victim of a diving board accident which left him paralyzed and in a wheel chair. His education was psychiatry but his life was one of journalism and commentary.
Dr Charles Krauthammer
March 13, 1950 – June 21, 2018
Early on I would simply listen and I noticed that when I disagreed with his assertions ... say intelligent design for example; even though he spoke against a topic for which I have strong feelings his points were always well taken, based on logic and he was a man of tact and poise though his words could be harsh he came across objectively.
He was largely responsible for my loss of a liberal orientation having turned me to the conservative side with his political punditry which appealed to my sense of logic and propriety. Over the years I actively sought him out in the news threads permeating my technological career. He was to be found on the conservatives populating Fox News Network and that affiliation of common interest has stuck with me to this day.
He won a Pulitzer Prize as a columnist at the Washington Post. His column ran weekly and was syndicated across more than 4000 publications internationally.
Dr Krauthammer was the recipient of accolades for his writing regarding foreign policy, the military, and international politcs.
He stopped writing and contributing to news broadcasts in August 2017 while fighting small bowel cancer to which he succumbed in June of the next year. With his passing we lost a giant of conservative intellect among men. Rest in peace.

- World Day Against Cyber Censorship 2020
-
The travesty of World Day Against Cyber Censorship is it's focus. The thing wants to direct attention to governments like China who actively pursue censorship when it's the big tech social media who are the primary culprets:
Youtube
Twitter
Facebook
Instagram
Pinterest
and others ...would just as soon target you and suppress your posts as look at you. It reached the point that my contempt for the Alphabet derivatives in particular which are supporting a leftist libtard spin on everything with their algorithms while the government chooses not only to not stop them ... but to use these outlets as though they were objective places for public discussion and valid political venues sickens me to the nth degree.
The municipal governments in particular are positively stupid in this regard, but they are primarily comprised of leftist libtard troglodytes and other democrats who are getting precisely the spin that they desire.
When the coming civil war over such mess finally arrives I'm going to be an active participant fighting against the deep state, shadow government, and democratic party.
So today is World Day Against Cyber Censorship and is said to be an online event held each year on March 12 to rally support for a single, unrestricted Internet with universal accessibility and to mistakenly draw attention to the ways that governments around the world are deterring and censoring free speech online when the actual problem lay in big tech social media.
When the government finally dismantles big tech as the monopoly and evil empire to which it has devolved it will be a great day for technology.
I hope they execute the perpetrators public and messy.
What a joke the United States has become at the hands of the ultra left. They all should be terminated with extreme prejudice.

- Rememberances of Sharon Stone
-
Yeah ... Sharon Stone will always be memorable for me personally due to a single role in her illustrious career:
She became an international sex symbol rising to the pinnacle of international recognition and my personal 'atta girl' after starring as Catherine Tramell in a film called Basic Instinct directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Joe Eszterhas which debuted way back in 1992.
Sharon Vonne Stone was born March 10, 1958 and became an American actress and producer from beginnings as a fashion model.
Her credits are many and diverse and her acting skills are strong and her presence in the media has been absolutely stunning periodically over the years.
Nothing, eclipses that leggy chair interview with a cigarette in Basic Instinct. It has become imitated, referenced, and the stuff of film legend. I can't wait until I get to see it again. Some things never get old.
Oh, the controversy, sexuality, and graphic depictions of violence and rape. Definitely my kind of flick. Remember ... it's ART.
Today is her birthday ... Happy Birthday to You !

- Facial Recognition Vendors Face Issues
-
I've been reading about facial recognition equipment and software in the threads these days and the portends are somewhat frightening.
So those vendors are now looking to avoid bans on facial recognition ... of course so ensure that profitability they all want so far above any right to privacy you might have.
As it would happen it seems that outside individuals are seeking regulatory control of facial recognition with talk of increasingly severe prohibitions as things progress.
The eternal skeptic, I applaud these forays into limitation because we all know that the obsolete and abused National Security Act implemented by the former President Truman has mainly placed a thug element into government whereby employees they think they can kill you just because they want to and you have no recourse because they'll just get the tax money from others ... who they'd just as soon kill as well.
So these new age liars who would impose their will further upon us seek to curtail future limitation and quite frankly, the dirtbags at Amazon and Microsoft can go straight to hell along with their facial recognition packages and just use them on that pitiful group of taxpayers who they employ.
I don't want big tech in my life at any level. I especially don't want somebody thinking they can track me based on my face. I use reflective and feedback items on my person to thwart some of it ... and am a student of passive resistance to the cameras the city has posted at every corner.
Something about those who decline the implementation reeks of false witness to me and those network and security company people are not worthy of our trust either.
Supporters view it all as security, intruder interception, and elements of automation for processing queues such as those at airports and other points of entry.
I see it as something subject to abuse because that is the nature of the governement and the National Security Act who would just as soon kill you as look at you and call it "National Security".
Law enforcement is already onboard ... but they would be. I see my personal attire going all EMP emitter and jamming device in the future.

- International Women's Day
-
Today is International Women's Day (IWD). It is celebrated on the 8th of March every year and focuses on the movement for women's rights.
Now then, I love women. However the so-called feminist movement which I have observed the better part of my life does little to maintain any affection for those freaks of nature calling themselves 'womyn' in an effort to keep 'men' out of what they're called.
Likewise the abortion freaks who think they have all rights to lay around and breed then have their living child ripped from their bellies and killed by some physician group out to profit from tissues and such ... even keeping the aborted child alive until it can be relocated to suitable vivisection facilities to increase their profits are indeed an abomination and the women themselves should control their carnal urges to the point that they "prevent" pregnancy rather than be allowed unfettered surgical intervention after the fact.
The industry which is abortion in the United States has simply devolved to a point beyond all trust in their comportment.
Then you hear these bitches howl in front of their cohorts and the fact that sterilization is preferable to ever letting them reproduce again only to deliver then murder the products of their uncontrolled sexual escapades.
The "my body my choice" thing only goes so far. Abortion is not a carte blanche removal of consequences solution for sluts as it appears to be on television anymore. Nor is it supposed to be a tool for the enrichment of abortionists who sell tissues, body parts, and other products of conception for personal profit.
Row v Wade be utterly damned.
Being that socialist vehicle International Women's Day began as in New York City on February 28, 1909, the concept fell further down the abyss when The United Nations began celebrating the day in 1975. The bad being recognized by the worse.
This commemoration which has become International Women's Day today ranges from being a public holiday in some countries to being largely ignored in others. It seems to be primarily a day of protest by females of the species who have become selfish to the point they exist in some sub human state where it's all about them and others have no stake in who they kill.
The day should largely have remained a day that celebrates womanhood ... but it didn't.
