- AI, death, and the FDA
-
I once worked at Richland Hospital with a person who could sense impending death.
His accuracy was quite uncanny and downright spooky at times and he worked up until he became ill, predicting his own death as well.
So there is an AI package which is purported to predict impending death with remarkable accuracy — so much that it has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and is expected to save lives from unexpected mortality in the US as a result.
The company with this tech, Excel Medical out of Florida has been touting it's new WAVE Clinical Platform which includes a deep-learning algorithm that can accurately predict whether a given patient might be at risk for sudden death.
It is comprised of a network of digital medical records with physiological metrics in real time all said to calculate the risk of a patient six hours before a human physician might.
It can even phone on call professonals at it's own initiation through a smartphone app.

- Simplicity Day
-
When I taught college one of my constants in the way of admonitions for those seriously pursuing technical careers was my practice of the "KISS" method: "keep it simple, sweetheart" ... which was a polite company variant on the thing told to me in the Navy.
Over the years I have attempted to simplify the complex and it has allowed me to go places and do things for which a lot of my peers never aspired and indeed — cannot do either.
It is said that today is "Simplicity Day" in celebration of the anniversary of Henry David Thoreau's birthday.Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail.
Henry David Thoreau
Walden
The significance I believe is his advice to readers regarding the simplification of their lives. The complexities which comprise the world today could use a bit of simplification.

- World Population Day 2018
-
Today is World Population Day, precursor to that global population manifesto of the United Nations toward sustainable development called Agenda 21 and it's depopulation and concentration of the existing citizens under armed control by UN forces with the revamp called "Agenda 30" necessitated by their inability to make things happen because too many of us are not quite as stupid as they first thought.
They describe various innocuous appearing scenarios which appear innocent enough until you tie it all together with green spaces which become no man zones after they disarm the entirety of the country and this new world order the traitor Bushes joined forces with the criminal Clinton's and the brigand Obama in order to try and send us over the precipice of centralized socialist "global" control from Belgium with all the elements of subterfuge and foolish lambs going to the slaughter at the behest of the democrats and progressives touting a world of slavery through rose tinted glasses.
I'm keeping my weapons. That stupidity which is the NO RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS Austrailia will not influence me like it has them and their populace are fools to allow their government to disarm the entire continent. How can you trust the few to provide for the many? It won't happen.
The UN does not control the United States. I shall not submit to UN control. I will not be subjected to the new world order. The traitor Bushes, the criminal Clintons, and that muslim kowtowing brigand Obama can go straight to hell or Kenya or where ever that foreigner originates.
Socialism has never worked and has only resulted in mass deaths and destruction. How many times must the lessons be learned before we realize the folly of those past mistakes of history.
BOO !

- Nikola Tesla Day 2018
-
Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 - January 7, 1943) was an engineer of Croatian-American extraction who had a grasp of the universe exceeding the capacity of those who stole his work from his hotel vault immediately after his death.
Those robbers of puny intellect could not grasp that which they purloined much less implement any of it so the government thieves simply confiscated that which was his in the name of that greed and criminality which has become the deep state.
So far beyond the standards of his day a lot of his ideas were relegated to science fiction and indeed they provided quite the show in many of the attractions of the time. That which was suppressed by a military industrial complex bent on keeping fossil fuels and limited supply commodities for the taxpayer still wrangle with those old ways, ignoring all that could be accomplished if they were relieved of their duties and that which they have stolen were released to the world for utilization.
Today is World Tesla Day, aka Nikola Tesla day, aka simply Tesla Day and celebrates that which he was and his contributions from which he was unable to benefit during his life time.
That dishonor which is the deep state, the robber government, and the liars among us shame us in that light which was Tesla's life and what he did — but moreso what he knew and would share with the world had he been permitted to do so.

- Ernest Borgnine
-
It's amazing how television characters sometime insert themselves into our lives.
Ermes Effron Borgnino
aka Ernest Borgnine
American actor
January 24, 1917 – July 8, 2012
While at this juncture, I am far less subject to such leanings toward fandom I had my glory days of television watching which now seem farther and fewer in between — I mean to the point of total absence if you catch my drift ...
One of those constants in my childhood was Ernest Borgnine.
As a Navy brat I felt it was unpatriotic to miss McHale's Navy and as such I watched what I believe to be all of the episodes and movies over those years comprising my childhood.
He was in a number of other productions I watched as well but my memories of "the skipper" are those which stick out in an otherwise unremarkable history of television viewing.
Besides it was one of the few things my father and I both enjoyed so I would take each opportunity that arose.
Once in a while we cross paths on syndicated television and I again experience a few flashbacks of various moments in time from my youth.

- World Chocolate Day 2018
-
Chocolate is a confectionary food prepared from roasted cacao seeds which are then ground and sweetened then utilized to create innumerable candies, coatings, frostings, and baked goods.
Today is World Chocolate Day aka International Chocolate Day in some places. It is one of those yearly events ocurring internationally and depending on who you read either celebrates the introduction of chocolate to the Europeans in 1550 — or simply exists to share the taste of chocolate among varioius people.
It is one of many chocolate celebrations and one of those confections I love to taste now and then.

- I used to like poetry ...
-
I used to like poetry. I used to write it frequently. It was one of those facets of my impetuous youth that I shed like so many other habits ... good and bad that came and went over the evolution of who I was compared to who I am.
I liked to think that people constantly change ... but some don't. I prefer to think good things of those in my midst but sometimes those thoughts turn pretty morbid when I realize that person I so idolized in my younger years is nothing but a sociopath user who has hurt a string of people badly in his self-serving wake ... or the moron so-called 'professional' golfer who hasn't ever won a prize playing golf was a "nice person" when he's really just the total scumbag and has been the entire 40 years I've know him. What's more, his stupid son is even worse having followed that poor example his entire life.
I suppose it's a part of realization. Knowing who your friends are, who your friends aren't, and understanding that what you thought wasn't reality as much as you may have wanted it to be so ...
A personal quest to avoid becoming some individual who pretends to have virtues, morals or religious beliefs and principles, etc., which really aren't there -- and in particular exhibiting actions that belie some fictional set of "stated" beliefs -- which which likewise are fictitious -- has been one of my evolutionary goals. While I think I've achieved that by and large I realize that there's always room for improvement and endeavor just to be the best person I can be.
I used to like poetry. I used to write meaningless tones representing ideas of lofty intent which crashed to the ground. Now I'm not so much a fan. Now I don't write poetry anymore. It's a facet of who I am based on what I've experienced over the years. I don't see life and others through the fantasy of innocence which once was mine. Now I understand a lot more of what is real. I only wish some of it weren't ...
Sometimes I look back on that young foolish imbecile which was me and yearn to tease out the innocence lost among the faces who smile at you attached to hands which stab you in the back. It's no use, however -- for in the grand scheme of things we are meant to learn over time.
That which we did not understand eventually gains crystal clarity with enough experience. At least I can have the satisfaction of trying to become a person I can respect; though I also must suffer the realization that early on I wasn't even close. I don't necessarily think this a bad thing either. I would much rather know my friends, enemies and myself and gaze upon that which I have become without those regrets I might otherwise feel. That path to manhood simply wasn't a walk in the park for me like it is for some people. Guess I took the scenic route.

- Happy Fourth 2018
-
The Fourth of July is a national holiday marking the anniversary of the adoption of our Declaration of Independence in 1776. With that profound dementia exhibited by the democrat and progressive elements of our political landscape coupled with the main stream media and their adherence to those same faulty patterns of logic and presence ... not to mention those rumors of impending civil war, all I can say is:
Bring it on !

- Dog Days 2018
-
Here we are, back to the start of dog days — those hot humid overpowering times when dogs go mad from the heat and people may be cross, and the outside is a boiling pot of misery lacking anything in the way of creature comfort.
Named for the dog star Sirius which rises in this time frame the heat and lethargy as well as drought, thunderstorms, and a variety of other somatic and environmental ills are part and parcel of this time of year ... particularly in the deep South.
The "dog days of Summer" represent that hottest, most uncomfortable summer experience in the Northern Hemisphere.
So, according to the Farmer's Almanac we're embarking on those dog days with the heat, humidity, and heavy, airless, stifling, oppressive, muggy atmosphere pervading the area like a big hot sponge through which we in South Carolina negotiate during our day ... which historically often lasts through the end of August and sometimes into September.

- World UFO Day 2018
-
I am a rather unlikely UFO enthusiast. I am afraid that these beliefs I acquired late in life correspond to my discovery of the deep state and ...
First, the concept of government must be redefined, because there exists the government of 'we the people', elected and appointed officials, public representatives, the executive, legislative and judicial branches, etc, etc, a la your standard junior high civics course.
But then, there is also the unacknowledged 'government': the 'government' of deep cover, deep black projects, contract agents and companies, and shadowy mid-level functionaries whose task it is to ensure that the government of 'we the people' knows little or nothing about the unacknowledged 'government'.
The right hand does not know - or often want to know - what the left hand is doing....
Unacknowledged

So, now I am left with both a set of unanswered questions in that aspic of disdain for presidents long dead, the Greata Treaty and it's legacy of deceit spun by a group of people who would spend my tax dollars in an unaccounted black ops fashion and take it upon themselves to murder anyone and everyone they view as getting in the way.
Today is World UFO Day. We're supposed to scan the skies in wonder as we remember the 1942 crash in Roswell, New Mexico of the UFO(s) famous for the 1947 Roswell UFO Incident.
Be all of this as it may I am pretty bent on disclosure by the government and hope that the funds for these operations are terminated with extreme prejudice for how dare they presume me to be unable to "handle" any contingency — extant or consequential. The deep state has no respect for the Constitution of the United States nor the taxpayer.

- International Tartan Day 2018
-
As I have noted earlier I am of Western European extraction with my lineage being from both Great Britain and Scotland. Since I have had more of an affinity for my mother's side of the family that Scot in me tends to come out on occasion ...
Tartan Days are celebrations of Scottish heritage. Beginning on April 6, the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320.
It has it's beginnings in Canada of the mid-1980s and spread to other communities of the Scottish diaspora in the 1990s.
Today we celebrate the Austrailian version called International Tartan Day is held on July 1, which corresponds to the date upon which the 1747 Act of Proscription that banned the wearing of tartan was repealed.
Tartan Days usually feature parades of pipe bands with Highland dancing, traditional games of strength, and other Scottish cultural entertainment.
I usually simply admire from afar as I am doing this year.

Today is Asteroid Day.
AKA "International" Asteroid Day, it falls on the anniversary of the Tunguska event in Siberia which fell on June 30th, 1908, and is the the most devastating recent asteroid-related event on the planet.
The day is dedicated to study of the asteroid and associated risks of impact on the Earth.
The main three goals are:
Employ available technology to detect and track Near-Earth Asteroids that threaten human populations via governments and private and philanthropic organisations.
A rapid hundred-fold acceleration of the discovery and tracking of Near-Earth Asteroids to 100,000 per year within the next ten years.
Global adoption of Asteroid Day, heightening awareness of the asteroid hazard and our efforts to prevent impacts, on June 30 - With the United Nations recognition, this action item has been achieved.

- Location Information and Me
-
There is a bit of a hubub going on about the sharing of location information. Typically some networked device like a web browser or a cell phone operates under software with coding to both evaluate and store this data ... primarily geolocation stuff and you are allowed to "opt out" as it were at your discretion.
Now then, I am not a proponent of sharing location data. This is due to the incorrect geolocation associated with my IP. I fully understand that this is the fault of the ISP and I will hold them accountable in due time — two months now and counting.
They have me listed as Summerville, SC when in fact I am about 110 miles away. Nobody thinks that I should care about this only I've brought it to the attention of everyone involved from stupid google to idiot ISP and they can all shove it at this point.
The GIS antenna is one of those expendible items installed which I have no qualms in cutting with extreme prejudice.
Suffice it to say that location information as it relates to stupid Google and the equally stupid Time Warner now called Spectrum leads me to believe that my business and traffic are not valued and as such I will be separating from both as a matter of course imminently.

- Google now Gone
-
Well. Google ignored robots.txt and my host blocks by using IPs instead ... and that was the final straw.
Google is now banished from the realm entirely. I'm going by subnet increment disallows.
It's a shame when a search engine presumes to be more than it is. Turns out I don't need them at all.
