Bi Polar People

  Today's selection -- from  The World's Greatest Book of Useless Information  by Noel Botham & the Useless Information Society.  Facts about the human brain  from  https://www.delanceyplace.com/ People who study the brain are like any other mechanic.  How something works tells you how to fix it or how to live with it - especially if your skills demand this knowledge.  Bipolar people have always been in aaugh of the mechanism of thought that creates intentions that are not of their choosing.  People make a living trying to explain what goes on in the brain, though they rarely have insights as to how these goings-on are within our control without medication.  Cynical you say? How now brown cow, or pink elephant or education for the sake of self enlightenment when your candle is always in the wind~ Welcome.

 " ...the UAE (United Arab Emirate) has a long way to go. Just a handful of its 100 or so higher-education institutions do research, and Al Amiri estimates that there are perhaps only a few hundred full-time academic researchers."     " When the United Arab Emirates’ Mars mission takes off , it will be a victory for the entire country, but particularly for women, who make up 34% of the mission team and 80% of the science team. Women’s representation in the Emirati workforce overall is lower, at 28%, but this is changing despite traditional gender and family roles."         "Sharaf and Al Amiri on the grounds of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre.

A remote camera with infinite angles offers new insights  

I have been taking pictures since I was twelve  Never could I have imagined doing shots hundreds of feet high above ground   The learning curve for drone flying can be steep and expensive    If you think you have the knack for aerial photography along with the patience to maneuver something you can't always see,   please consider a starter drone like the TELLO   This one's not just for kids,   it's a learning experience that will save you money and may make the joy of the sport possible  Take a trip and never leave the ground  

 Rhetoric has no standing in court and intent is not a crime unless you call it premeditated  What is the correct insight that would classify an action as a crime for anyone including a high ranking government official  Insert morality in the law of the land and the atrocious behavior of some becomes obvious no matter who they are His defense    Link credit  cnn.com

  Who do you think you are   You won't find out until time has passed and your own earned wisdom helps point you out in a crowd   What's more concerning for me is not where I am going but what meaning is there to a life long lived  Did I deserve this consequence of life's realities, little accidents that changed me from a pawn to a prince, or into a bishop or a rook  I won't know the answer to life's persistent questions until the final curtain call   Then one becomes a piece of history to be kicked about by those who care to understand your motivations that endured until their time also comes  Anything in green is mine  The rest can be read for further understanding or complete confusion  Source    Nautilus   Matthew Sedacca

Those who follow a loser are the losers So are we when we have to live with the attitude of disgust that mars the representation of out country and those who died for us The upside flag is also a signal for distress and not necessarily political disrespect

F/A-37   "The plane in these pictures is still officially the 'Air Vehicle Number 1' , a prototype, on board the USS George Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks.  Not exactly still Top Secret but certainly not yet made public. It will be known as the F/A-37.  Although specs are classified, it is believed to be Mach 3.5 (top speed in the Mach 4 range) super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with approximately a 4,000nm range." "Check out the Navy test pilot in the cockpit of the F/A-37... LT Kara Wade."

 Putin's palace is more than a vast building of luxury it is a small town that supports and protects the leader of the Soviet Union  No expense has been spared to keep Putin in secured luxury   See this link and click the start icon below the red time line  "There is one place, once you get to where you can understand everything about Vladimir Putin. This is the most guarded place in Russia, in fact a state within a state, and this is Putin's biggest secret. Which is protected by hundreds, even thousands of people - from unknown guards, gardeners and builders to the richest and most famous people in Russia. One secret. One building. And we will visit it. Visiting Putin. Let us be convinced with our own eyes that this man, in his craving for wealth, is completely mad. We will find out by whose money and how this luxury is financed. And how right now and for the last 15 years, the biggest bribe in history is being given and the most expensive palace in the world is bei...

"In the last days of Trump’s presidency, the things that preoccupied Trump were not the things that preoccupied other Americans. He was not preoccupied with the deadly riot he had incited, that left Capitol Hill terrorized, that had led to his second impeachment. He was not preoccupied with the coronavirus pandemic that killed 400,000 Americans, infected millions more, decimated the economy and is still raging across the United States." This is a sad state of affairs for everyone from the leadership to the people who lived during a time of misdirected intentions.  Political motivation is not a a cure for a pandemic, nor does it help those millions of people, regardless of mounting need and protection.  When our leader fails we all fail.  It's unfortunate if not an outright national catastrophe that we stand by the rules of our country even when they fail us.  Now we have the power to make corrections for past failures and move forward toward a chance to redeem ...

 The Eisenhower presidency out of necessity penned the the 25th amendment to the constitution.  The Twenty-fifth Amendment ( Amendment XXV ) to the United States Constitution deals with presidential succession and disability. Section 1 clarifies that the vice president becomes president if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office. Section 2 establishes the procedure for filling any vacancy in the office of the vice president. Section 3 allows the president to temporarily transfer their duties to the vice president, for example during a planned medical procedure. Section 4 provides that the vice president, together with a majority of certain Cabinet officers, may declare the president unable to carry out his duties, after which the vice president immediately assumes the duties of the president; if the president objects to such a declaration, Congress resolves the question.  Recent actions by those who promote the dictates of President Trump appe...
