Apparently it's showing up on many sides of the issue. Now reports by a BF of this whack job female Ford, that lots of the important stuff she's been telling the senate and rest of the world, in her harmless, affected, poor me, little girl voice, doesn't go along with how she spoke and acted, when they were an item, some six years ago.

So, today we come to 21st June,2016 again.....the longest day of the year!!!? Well, I remember the times, one would relish and be out the whole day with friends or family...Sadly, today, here in India, the monsoon has set in and it' s foggy and drizzly slightly....not likely to be sunny with no chance for us to watch the twilight that never seemed to end like the old days....

I want to know what it will be like in other parts of India/countries where you live? any comments will be welcomed !!!

I came to this seminar in good time to get a place on the first row, center.

…I always prefer to sit on the best seat be it opera, ballet, Yeti watching or just a domestic dispute…

I made myself comfortable for the next 60 minutes and immediately let deep and sound sleep consume my whole person.

… I never snore – checked against different sources…

So far so good. And my life was indeed heavenly sweet for the first half.

…Säg den lycka som varar…

Then, as usual, some forgetful bum’s phone went all excited somewhere in the bum’s bag’s intestines, which made the lecturer halt his stream of monotonic mumble, which consequently woke me up. My hardened nervous system wouldn’t have any difficulties to swing me back to sleep, but another bum – a very observant one – suddenly asked: “What’s that grey area under the curve?”. And that question put me on the perch straight and alert.

While the lecturer was staring at his graph as if he saw it for the very first time and the merry audience was suggesting solutions borrowed in the number of difference sciences – from landscaping to astrophysics, those oblique rotations in 3D – I recollected

…as a few years ago we used that very screen as a table cloth at a minor celebration when someone in our group published their first article and some clumsy bum spilled a bowl with dressing or the like…

and understood that the mystical “area under the curve” was just an oily spot, that looked grey contraluz.

Ages have passed, but I still consider my greatest contribution to the science that I kept composure until the end of the seminar. Then I went out, hugged a tree and laughed my heart out.

Been and paddled kayak yesterday. Saw a female elk with 2 calves. Totally under impression.

But where is the logic?

It is 5 videos here. The concepts..

These are video excerpts of the recent Breakthrough symposium in connection with Project SETI (Search for Extra Terrestial Intelligence). As human technology has advanced since the 1960s, so too has the way the SETI program works.


Lineage of a bio-sphere. Looking in directions SETI hasn't done yet. Atmospheric traces of molecules produced by the manufacture of plastics for instance. Organic life vs inorganic life. Would we recognize life? How long does a civilization last? What is life? Do we truly want to create a self aware AI and droids to do our exploring for us? Do true AIs go through the Darwinian process and evolve away from the original design? Is the Darwinian process unique to Earth? How unique is Earth's bio-sphere? Are there other similar bio-spheres on other Earth like worlds or are their chemical processes unique to that world? The more extensive and expansion our search for other life in the Universe becomes, the more noticeable we become to other life searching. Is that a good thing? Etc.

2 Martin Reese discusses the odds of SETI detecting organic or electronis intelligence?


3 What is life?


4 Inorganic life. Complex molecules are techno signatures..


5 Evolutionary traces in nonorganic computer programs (i.e., Artificial Intelligence programs) in response to changes in environment.


Question to ponder.. If we design self aware AI robot droids to do space exploration for us and build structures for us, then send them off into deep space, for how long will a self aware robot droid happily work for us, versus seek an independence from us and come up with a way of accomplishing that new goal?

Branch of genetic engineering will give better help for human . Which type of child you want sport person , good in academic speicaly in Math and science , artist , creative . All can happen with the help of genetic engineering.
Genetic engineering also help full to treat any syndrome related to chromosome and any unwanted gentac mutation . It can treat in womb .
Every parents must meet the genetic counsellors before and during pregnancy it help you give better child .

But, if you want to see shooting stars (i.e. to wish upon),
you may want to look to the north eastern sky tonight.
It is the peak night for the Perseid Meteor Shower viewing, as long as it is not cloudy where you are.
The best viewing time is 2 am until dawn, when you may see up to
100 shooting 'stars' or more per hour.
Even if you can't be awake that early in the morning, you can probably see a few
after midnight, or even a couple after 10 pm.

The Perseid Meteor Shower is the remnants of the Comet Swift-Tuttle.
This comet is the biggest thing that the earth comes close to.
But, it orbits the sun only once every 134 years. The next time will be the year 2126.
However, earth passes through the debris trail every year.
This year should be extra good viewing, because the moon will mostly be dark
(mostly in it's 'new' moon phase) as we pass through the debris trail.

If you don't want to stay up late to see it live and in person, you can see a time lapse filming of 2016's show below;

Get your many wishes ready;

Twice this week I've seen stories that scientists think they've figured it out what causes planes and boats to disappear in the region known as the Bermuda Triangle:
Monster Waves

Those guys need to stop smoking that funny tobacco.

Mentioned in one article, tsunami-like rogue waves reaching 100 feet tall. Storms from the North and South of the Atlantic Ocean converging on each could cause this. They created a model and in simulation believed this was the reason the ship USS Cyclops disappeared in 1918.
Okay, I'm with you on that.

Explain to me how aircraft flying at several thousand feet could get hit by a 100 tidal wave?
How could dozens of planes disappear?
Many lost radio contact with the tower including a squadron.

Somebody needs to rethink the wave theory.


Thanks for reading my blog!

Probably fair to say, consistent with all other marked differences here and elsewhere between the sexes, that women get much more mail/notice/likes/ favorites/etc. from men than the other way around. So one might think that we men would immediately follow along whenever a lady shows even a bit of such interest thusly. Some may, perhaps most do. I actually try to respond to all such contact, at least initially. But with CS hardly being a lovefest of sobriety, groundedness, and other signals of sound mental health, regrettably, one must, with all due diligence, do a little vetting and screening out. Many ways to do so, of course. But I prefer psychological subtlety. Sure, it cuts down the numbers of possibilities early on, but even with high specificity, I'll take higher sensitivity, keeping the numbers of false positives higher, at the regrettable cost of false negatives. Epidemiology and public health. But which fellow won't follow clever banter no matter how dangerous the trip? Now noone will ever look my way. Ouch?

NASA reports the longest lunar eclipse of the century will happen FRIDAY 7-27-2018 transforming the moon into a reddish-orange ball for more than 100 minutes.
Unfortunately, it won't be visible in North America.
The path of this eclipse will be visible in parts of the Middle East, Africa and some parts of Asia and India.

To get an idea of this eclipse, it's supposed to be similar than the one that appeared in January 31st 2018.
