Happiness is not a warm gun.
I sometimes encounter ex-students.
It seems that I made a good positive impact on them.
They always thank me and tell me how I've inspired them.
Many times what they say truly touches my heart.
Sometimes they went on to further education in the biological sciences
and sometimes they've become teachers, professors, nurses, doctors
or other related health or science fields.
I've also edited a number of biology, genetics and microbiology text books
and have signed copies of those books with notes of thanks stating how
I improved their books,making them much better.
While all very nice, it was due in part to my job at a major university.
I'm sure many of the other professors had similar experiences.
But tonight I received something totally different.
Nine years ago, I was out in nature taking photos of wildlife in the Princeton, NJ area.
A fairly young lovely blonde gal walked up to me and stated that she had been watching me for some time, and that I seemed to be a very happy person.
I smiled and said something like "life is a terrific experience, much better than the alternative, why not be happy ?"
She then asked, if it would be OK to interview me. So, she asked me a bunch of questions
(most I have forgotten at this point) about what especially makes me happy, happier, and happiest.
At the end, she asked for my email address in case she thought of any other questions.
If I remember correctly, she did email me about a month later.
However, I have heard nothing else from her for about 9 years.
Moments ago, I got an email from her. She wrote a book based on her 'art of happiness'
interviews and got it published.
Apparently, my interview is included in that book.
I just emailed her back to congratulate her on her book.
One truly never knows what happiness the new day will bring.
Cherish it, while you can.

maybe...we asked for it
I suspect that everything that has ever happened to us...or has yet to happen to us...we have asked for it.
Through decisions we have made throughout our lives.....
these decisions have put us in certain situations/environments/places/relationships
if true, why?
....perhaps our destiny.
Happy Saturday
the only exception I can think of....is our birth. But, as I have been informed, Buddhist would argue even that we have asked for
Maybe we need to be smart enough to understand the full extent of our decisions.

The RAZR is back!
Last week it was a leaked rumor. This week it's been confirmed. Motorola is bringing back the legendary RAZR flip-phone. Introduced in 2004, the RAZR was such a hot item that Motorola sold more than 130 million units in 4 years making it the best-selling clamshell phone in the world.
Eventually sales slumped as touchscreen phones became popular and Samsung took the market lead. In 2011 Motorola resurrected the RAZR until 2013.
On November 14, 2019 Motorola released details that an Android based RAZR will be released for 2020 exclusively through Verizon Wireless at a price of $1,500.
I don't have a crystal ball, but I'll make a prediction that the initial review will be slower than expected. Those who have service with other providers won't be willing to jump ship and there will be a market for cracked/unlocked phones, but I suspect at $1,500 you can buy a flagship Samsung S10+ and have enough money left over for 65" Samsung 4K UHD TV.
Motorola may have priced themselves out of the market.

PHOBIAS, dear people, PHOBIAS...
Two things about them for sure. They are real, and they have the weirdest names. Two of my worst are Gamphobia and Gynophobia. But I digress, all you lovely CS ladies. How real? Almost doubling of heart and breathing rates, profuse sweating, tremors unstoppable, desire to flee---but often frozen in place. And even changes in vision and hearing, not to mention memories for the fearsome event. Often the dreaded object is (usually) completely harmless. Watch someone very arthritic, normally unable to get up onto a chair, be right up there almost instantly, on seeing a little mouse, if not bolting clear out of the house, screaming. And if not treated successfully, they often can put real limits on work or other important aspects of life. If you are affraid to use elevators, forget that dream job on the 50th floor. Oddly enough, this one, very common, has no special psychological name---just referred to as claustrophobia, or acrophobia, and other names. And the range of treatments sometimes themselves can bring on a chuckle. Some phobias even seem innate to humans and some animals, occurring almost from birth or early age. Formidable.

thankfully it's only cabinet doors...
My associate is struggling to satisfy a client who rejected some doors with hairline cracks in the joints. Today, he didn't give him grief on a large door that was damaged in shipping. We'll replace the door, it's the abusive complaint that isn't necessary.
Some connection to the client in the medical field said a diabetic patient went for surgery to have a leg amputated.
They cut off the wrong leg.
It makes the crack in the door issue became less significant.

I actually am sick.
Like our fellow blogger Palms, I too am getting over the flu.
It is that time again.
Turkey Day around the corner.
Who is looking forward to stuffing the turkey?
Robert?
...as a side note Jim: you may see question marks at the end of a sentence...but that is really not a question. :)

Pelosi states that Trump admitted Bribery
Today in US News & World Report;
The main complaint by the Republicans is that the evidence presented so far includes hearsay.
An aide for Taylor overheard a conversation of Trump's.
Don't be surprised, if that person who overheard Trump's conversation is called as a witness later.
That certainly doesn't prevent Republicans from coming up with more of their more ridiculous objections. However, together with testimony from the Roger Stone trial, it sure looks like Trump is burnt toast. Impeach !

U.S. News & World Report
By Patricia Zengerle, Karen Freifeld and Richard Cowan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday President Donald Trump already has admitted to bribery in the Ukraine scandal at the heart of a Democratic-led inquiry, accusing him of an impeachable offense under the U.S. Constitution.
"The bribe is to grant or withhold military assistance in return for a public statement of a fake investigation into the elections. That's bribery," Pelosi, the top Democrat in Congress, told a news conference the day after the first public hearing in the impeachment inquiry she announced in September.
"What the president has admitted to and says it's 'perfect,' I say it's perfectly wrong. It's bribery," Pelosi said.
Democrats are looking into whether the Republican president abused his power by withholding $391 million in U.S. security aid to Ukraine as leverage to pressure Kiev to conduct two investigations that would benefit him politically. The money, approved by Congress to help a U.S. ally combat Russia-backed separatists in the eastern part of the country, was later provided to Ukraine.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
Another central figure - former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch - is due to testify on Friday in the second public hearing in the inquiry.
The inquiry threatens Trump's presidency even as he seeks re-election in November 2020. If the House approves articles of impeachment - formal charges - against Trump, the Senate would then hold a trial on whether to convict him and remove him from office. Republicans control the Senate and have shown little support for Trump's removal.
Pelosi's comments could offer a preview of articles of impeachment Democrats might put forward. At her news conference, she also said Trump's administration had committed "obstruction of Congress" by blocking testimony of officials summoned to testify in the inquiry.
The Constitution states that impeachable offenses include "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors." Democrats have begun to use the words bribery or attempted bribery in discussing Trump's actions. According to precedent, obstruction could be another article of impeachment.
Republicans have said House Democrats already have decided to pass articles of impeachment, but Pelosi denied that was the case, saying the inquiry must play out before any decision can be made.
The focus of the inquiry is a July 25 phone call in which Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden and the former vice president's son Hunter, who had served as a board member for a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma. Trump also asked Zelenskiy to investigate a debunked conspiracy theory embraced by some Trump allies that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 U.S. election.
Pelosi compared Trump's actions to former President Richard Nixon's conduct in the Watergate corruption scandal that led him in 1974 to become the only U.S. president to resign. Pelosi said Trump's actions to enlist a foreign power to help him in a U.S. election and the obstruction of information about that - she called it a cover-up - "makes what Nixon did look almost small."

In Case You Fell Asleep Today During The Impeachment Show: All You Need To Know In 24 Minutes
Did anyone even watch the Democrat's impeachment show today? I mean they've had two months behind closed doors to rehearse this scam, and several years now of failed scams to learn their lesson from and they STILL couldn't convince my 4 year old niece of anything. I'd call it a nothing-burger but it was more like a nothing hot dog. I mean hot dogs are 8 for a buck. This thing was so boring and pointless it made the Democrat's Kavanaugh scam seem like the first moon landing.
All I could think about was that we are PAYING A FORTUNE FOR THIS. I mean can you imagine the millions of dollars going to waste while Democrats fritter away government time and resources that could be being used to do the peoples' business instead of this nonsense?
Anyway, if you missed it I envy you. I had a hard time keeping my eyes open all day after I watched it and I had a lot of important things to get done.
Tucker Carlson hit the ball out of the park tonight explaining what's behind the Democrat's impeachment scam (other than desperately trying to gin up yet another phony charge against President Trump like the Russian collusion, obstruction and all the other phony charges they've leveled against him since the day he won the election to try to hang it around his neck in a desperate attempt to try to hurt him for the 2020 election).
Anyway, rest assured you didn't miss anything except a bunch of people telling a congressional committee what they overheard their Uncle Joe tell their cousin Jim that his wife's sister overheard a co-worker say about her long distance lover who used to know Eric Trump in elementary school and thinks he heard him say that his father didn't give him his allowance one week and that's bribery and extortion. Trust me, it was that stupid.
Anyway, watch this...

WONDERFUL NEWS....CS folks....
The fearsome VIERK/Swedish Political Pathology King Olaf/Nobel Memorial Research Institutet may have stumbled onto a partial cure for severe types of Trump Derangement-Hilary Deficit Syndromes. (TD-HDS). Quite painful, and costly in time, money and possible harmful side effects, but so far, 92 out of 100 hithertoo hopeless clinical trial cases have had their scores on the proprietary political GOM (grounded open mindedness meter) raised by a full 75%. I would give details, oh my most deserving CS comrades, but we may be wired in for the next Nobel Prize in Physiology. However, for those who pay close attention to my astute blogs, I hinted at a number of hypotheses on target to the cures. All well within the past fortnight, cherubim. But for private paying patients, we do make exceptions, if the price is right. Why change the usual approach to private pay health care? Please call the Institutet at 044-69-NIXCLUBCOUP, for special offer details on our generous payment plans. Live operators are standing by. Ever onward, through the fog, for science, and the green back, is our motto.
