New Russian mobilization in September?
Rumors are beginning to spread (fueled by some new laws in Russia coupled with some announcements from Moscow) of a new mass mobilization of Russian men to occur in September. The new draft will include men up to age 65 and could possibly impact as many as one million Russian men..
We can view it as proof of Russia's desperation and inability of their army to hold the lines in Ukraine with their present strength. It is not clear how such a sweeping round up of males in Russia will effect production in Russia's factories.
The new changes and announcements indicate that the call up orders may arrive by paper OR by electronic media OR both. Announcements by Moscow indicate that when a name is chosen for activation Border Police will be among the first notified and then other legal agencies involved. When that is done then the notifications will be sent out. I
n short if you are Russian you may already have been secretly drafted, but won't know of it until you show up at a border crossing trying to leave the country, or get pulled over for a traffic stop, or go to a bank to get a loan, etc. At that time you will be told you have been called up and turned over to the military. Or maybe you will be one of the lucky ones who first learns of it by email, which is better than a couple of guys in uniform knocking at your door to give you a piece of paper to read as they drag you away.
It is such fun being Russian these days.

President put to finger of Cuba orders attack against human rights defender
On 08/29/2022, the Cuban human rights defender and peaceful opponent Yunior González Rosabal announced on his Facebook account, through a screenshot, the satellite view of the residence where Cuban dictator Miguel Díaz Canel Bermúdez lives. .
The social network used sanctioned the user for 24 hours without being able to make new publications or comments. After this period of time had passed, and in order for him to be able to use his account again, he had to accept that the publication be deleted because it was considered that it violated Facebook's community standards.
How violating could that post be? The answer lies with those who work in one of the social networks with the most users in the world while at the same time consenting to the violations of freedom of expression reflected in article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the Castro-communist tyranny , which says: "Every individual has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes the right not to be bothered because of their opinions, to investigate and receive information and opinions, and to disseminate them, without limitation of borders, by any means of expression."
What led Yunior to make the place where that residence is located visible to the public, adding the address and coordinates to the image? The dictator of Cuba, Díaz Canel, not only tyrannizes the Cuban people under the orders of the castros, since he is nothing more than a hand-picked president, but also manipulates the Cubans.
That man is used to asking the people to resist the painful situations faced by Cubans. He says it as someone who also participates in that resistance translated into sacrifice, to resist hunger, misery, the high cost of basic products, etc. but no, he asks her to resist while he lives as a rich capitalist, not to mention his family members.
Cubans suffer from internet censorship, the Cuban dictatorship ensures that the people do not have access to the necessary information and also represses those who dare to spread the news that others should know. We can take this case as an example.
Yunior was not only censored by the social network Facebook but also now faces charges for that publication. Although he has refused to sign and accept the fine that regime agents tried to impose on him, he has been threatened by them with going to prison.
What could have been so serious that Yunior's publication has resulted in his being arbitrarily arrested, threatened, fined and interrogated by state security officers, personal security officers and agents of the "Villa Marista" State Security Department, place of detention and torture of political prisoners in Cuba?
It would not be difficult to deduce that the human rights defender and peaceful opponent of all dictatorial and oppressive regimes, Yunior Glez. Rosabal, has had the audacity to show with that image, the double standard of Miguel Díaz Canel Bermudez, someone who asks a people to resist sacrifices while he and his family do not need to resist anything because they do not suffer the slightest need for more than trying to deceive the world through his cheeky speeches.
Yunior could go to prison for that post. All those people committed in one way or another to respect for Human Rights should show solidarity with him. He maintains a firm attitude, does not retract what he did and emphasizes that both the Cuban people and the world should know the lifestyle of the fraud who apparently acts as president of Cuba.
"I do not deny what I did nor do I regret it because I am sure I did what I had to despite knowing what I was exposing myself to with the bloody communist Castro dictatorship. Enough of the Cuban dictatorship deceiving the world. The truth is to be told And I, like all other human beings, have the right to freedom of expression."
SHARE SO THE WORLD KNOWS THIS CASE.
Oregon GOP legislator thrown out of office unanimously (except for his own vote).

'Only reasonable course of action': Oregon GOP legislator ousted over state Capitol breach
SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon House of Representatives ousted Republican Rep. Mike Nearman Thursday night, the first time in state history a sitting Oregon lawmaker has been expelled.
The tally was 59-1, with the only vote against coming from Nearman himself. He showed no contrition during brief comments on the floor of the House.
Nearman was removed for the disorderly behavior of allowing rioters into the closed Capitol building during a special legislative session on Dec. 21, 2020.
His actions led to dozens of people — some armed and wearing body armor — gaining access to the Capitol, thousands of dollars in damage and six injured Salem and Oregon State police officers.
"Colleagues, it couldn't be any clearer. Rep. Mike Nearman intentionally allowed armed protestors, occupiers, to illegally enter the building during the peak of the pandemic," Rep. Paul Holvey, D-Eugene, said on the floor of the House. "He coordinated with his supporters and extremist groups and then opened a door to let them in."
Lawmakers commented on the day being "sad" and "somber" but said the Legislature had a responsibility to expel Nearman after he put his colleagues and staff at risk and has refused bipartisan calls for his resignation.
"Expulsion is the only reasonable course of action," said Rep. Andrea Salinas, D-Lake Oswego.
Article IV Section 15 of the Oregon Constitution gives each chamber the right to punish its members for "disorderly behavior," and punishment can include expulsion.....
House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, had introduced House Resolution 3 on Monday and created the bipartisan special committee that unanimously voted Thursday afternoon to move the resolution to the full House.
The House suspended certain legislative process rules to allow lawmakers to vote on the resolution immediately.
"The facts are clear that Mr. Nearman unapologetically coordinated and planned a breach of the Oregon State Capitol," Kotek said in a statement after the vote. "His actions were blatant and deliberate, and he has shown no remorse for jeopardizing the safety of every person in the Capitol that day.
Republicans had stayed mostly silent on Nearman's actions until the past week, after a video surfaced that showed Nearman suggesting to a crowd days before the riot that if demonstrators texted him he might let them into the Capitol.
The other 22 members of the House Republican caucus called on Nearman to resign from the Legislature through a letter on Monday.
"It is our belief as friends and colleagues that it is in the best interest of your caucus, your family, yourself, and the state of Oregon for you to step down from office," the letter read, in part.
Democrats have been calling for Nearman's resignation or expulsion for months, with many redoubling those calls in the wake of the video becoming widely known.
Nearman also faces criminal charges stemming from the incident. He was arraigned May 11. They are misdemeanors but do carry possible jail time.
Before the second video was discovered a nonpartisan legislative investigation concluded that Nearman "more likely than not" let demonstrators into the building on purpose.
That investigation relied largely on video evidence from security cameras at the Capitol.

Ivanka "Not Wanted" posters
Apparently a comedy team has recently posted a number of posters featuring a photo of Ivanka Trump and some words indicating that they no longer want Ivanka living in New York.
While it is not her fault, that she is the daughter of the worst president in US history, nor how she was raised. However,
she has done her own misdeeds involving child labor laws violations in China and complicit behavior with regard to her father's crimes.
Ivanka is now seeking to move either to New Jersey (hopefully not) or to Florida, where her father moved this past year.
This is the poster finding it's way at various places in Manhattan;
Not only did Dirty Don lose his home state in both elections, but both he and his family are no longer welcomed there. New York is a tough state. They don't tolerate bullshit.
However, they will put up with a lot. For instance, the Jets are now 0 - 11.
Apparently, the Trump presidency was beyond the tipping point of.... no return.

My dislike for the FUZZ...
There are a few different stories over the years of how the invention to the distorted guitar sound called 'fuzz tone' came about. I'll go with Nashville studio engineer Glenn Snoddy's accidental invention Maestro Fuzz-Tone manufactured by (the guitar company) Gibson.
When guitar amplifiers were invented, it was typically low wattage (around 3 to 5 watts) using electron tubes (called valves in England) and small speakers. As guitarists began to play larger venues, they required bigger amplifiers. Jazz and Country Western music relied on a bright clean sound. If you were playing Rock & Roll, the desire for more volume often pushed the tubes beyond their wattage capacity of creating their natural ability to reproduce the incoming signal. When checking this on an oscilloscope, what would normally be a smooth sine-wave shape, would flatten the tops of the sine-wave.
Usually the circuits were based on a push-pull design with 2 tubes in unison. If they were capable of 10 watts each, the total output would be 20 watts. As you increase the volume, the clarity of the notes would disappear and a harsh sound would be created.
This coloration of sound actually became popular in the 1960's and if your amplifier didn't get 'dirty enough' I've hear stories where guitarists would use screwdrivers and poke holes into their speakers and crank the volume up to get their signature sound.
Eric Clapton playing with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers was notoriously disliked by the recording engineers. His studio volume was so much that it was getting into the mix of the other instruments. He wanted a sustain that could only come about from over-driving his gear. They had to put barriers and blankets around his amp to control the volume in the studio.
Enter the fuzz tone. It's a transistor device that plugs between a guitar and an amplifier and has circuitry to emulate an over-driven amplifier. Usually manufactured as a small metal box that rests on the floor and has a footswitch to activate it. You get the saturated sustain with harmonics like a large over-driven amplifier and not kill your audience of everything turned up to ten!
Who used a fuzz-tone? Nearly every electric guitarist on the planet. Since the device had controls for saturation and volume, every guitarist could dial in their very own sound and be the same as each other.
60 years later, there are several dozen versions of the fuzz-tone. Some change your tonal settings, some add reverb, some add tremolo, some have deeper and more distorted selections. It's mind-boggling the endless combinations.
I listed to a video today demonstrating some different models.
The guy doing the video is the owner and inventor for JHS Pedals. He goes through various sounds and can give advice to who used what fuzz so you can cut through the BS and purchase the same one that your guitar hero uses.
I'm not saying I dislike the sounds of Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bonamassa, I don't like listening to some ultra distorted metal bands where there is no clarity in their sound.

Weekend - and other things
Ah, here we are. At another weekend. What a week it has been. I was at work on Monday, but was sidelined for the following two days because of a cold. No energy, because lack of sleep, plus I also did not want everyone else to be sick, because I'm a good coworker. So my work week have only been three days long, but that doesn't mean I'm not tired today - because I am. Work today was hectic. I would say it's been the busiest Friday since I started working where I am now. On top of that, we have an election coming up in November, so all the ads have been VERY tiring to listen to. I might just vote what I usually vote.
In other news: I got my payslips today. Yes, payslips. "But Philipsen, you only have one job, right? Why do you get two payslips?", I hear you ask. That's an excellent question. Let me explain: Before I was hired on a permanent basis, I was a temp worker. I switched from working as a temp worker to work full time half way into a pay cycle. That means I am both getting a salary from the temp agency as well as my permanent job. I will not say how much I am getting paid. I will only say this:
Anyway. I'm not doing the job for the money. I'm on the lowest pay bracket, plus I am paying a little more in taxes than I should, which I am perfectly happy to do. That just means money back to me at the end of the tax year. Money I could use for savings, or for my upcoming trip to the USA.
So to sum up: Work is going good, I am happy and healthy.. Well, 98% healthy, anyway.. Life is good. I don't need anything else than that.
Well.. Maybe someone to share it with, but that's a topic for another blog :)

Forget Rockets. This Insane Space Balloon Will Start Flying Passengers Into the Heavens in 2024

A Florida company is now offering a different space-flight experience than the rocket-based trips from Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic and Space-X. Space Perspective said that last Friday’s successful launch of its space balloon, Neptune One, shows that another type of space travel is possible.
Unlike the aircraft-like capsule of the other commercial space firms, Neptune One will be more like a lounge, complete with WiFi, toilet and bar, that floats at 12 mph into the stratosphere. The capsule can seat eight passengers and a pilot. “Everything is slow, gentle and comfortable,” says Jane Poynter, who founded the company with her husband, Taber McCallum. “You’re not blasting into space on top of a rocket, with the fury and vibrations that involves.”
The six-hour, thirty-seven-minute trip also contrasts to the 11-minute flights of the other rockets. So does the price: Space Perspective opened up ticket sales for the first commercial flights in 2024 for $150,000. Virgin Galactic initially planned to charge $250,000 for its first flights, but that number is expected to rise, while the third astronaut joining Jeff and Mark Bezos aboard the maiden July 2020 commercial Blue Origin flight paid $28 million for the seat.
Space Perspective plans to launch three flights per year, first from the Space Coast Spaceport in Titusville, Florida, and then at other locations around the US, and eventually internationally.
The space balloon doesn’t go nearly as high as the other aircraft. It floats up to 100,000 feet compared to the others which briefly cross the Kármán Line, 62 miles above the earth that researchers and scientists consider the divider between Earth’s atmosphere and space. There, the tourist astronauts will experience weightlessness for several minutes, something that doesn’t happen on Space Perspective’s space balloon.
Poynter says the Neptune flight will be similar to the other trips. “The experience is indistinguishable from other commercial space-tourism flights,” she says. “You can see the full blackness of space and 450 miles in every direction on Earth—including all of Florida and into the Bahamas.” The actual time at 100,000 feet is nearly two hours, allowing plenty of time to enjoy the view.
The space balloon and capsule will have a pilot, but can be controlled remotely. It will land in the water, with a ship on hand to collect the passengers. The capsule will be used for multiple flights, while the balloon can only be used once.
Poynter and McCallum have been involved with researching and developing the technology behind space balloons for more than a decade. Neptune One’s launch from the Space Coast Spaceport on Friday was the first for a space balloon.
Several studies have forecasted that space tourism could become a $250-$500 billion industry. “You’re already beginning to see a whole eco-system develop, including companies focused on training and service and even a space travel agency,” says Poynter. “We’ve seen that demand ourselves—at one of our recent events, we sold 25 tickets within 25 minutes.”
