On Sundays,I like to look at the past week,and bring up any"Comments"that people have left on myPosts.Sorry to say that,most of this year,I either have hadPeopleleaving bogusCommentsso they can leave theirLinksto stuff that they want you to buy,like on my storyThe Girl, The Gun, And The Broken Heart Tattoo, orCommentsleft by my oneTroll,like on myPostI Crashed.But,maybe I have cracked the code.On myPostWhy The Tardis Is The Perfect Spacetime Machine,
two new commenters,whom I have never seen before,left their opinions.Both very favorably I might add.The fist one read,
Mel July 24, 2018 at 8:07 PMGreat minds always ask, "What if?"
I always knew I would be"Great"one day.I know,my humility is showing.The second comment read,
Ambiguity July 28, 2018 at 8:12 PMGreat Post.
"It may be that our cosmic curiosity... is a genetically-encoded force that we illuminate when we look up and wonder."
-Neil deGrasse Tyson
Ambiguity even quoted one of my favoritePodcasters!Yes,I make up words all the time in my writings.
This is,Thanking MelAnd Ambiguity For Their Kind Words,Jim Hauenstein,

Funny How Outerspace Is
I got the chance to retire at the ripe old age ofFifty-Three.This pastJune 6thmy youngest graduated fromHigh School.So,for just about ten years I had kids going to school.Five of them in2008.I found that the only way to get through thoseTeenage High School Yearswas to have a sense of humor. I hope you have one too!
A blond, a brunette, and a redhead are interviewing for a new NASA experiment on sending women to different planets.First, the panel of scientists asks the brunette,"If you could go to any planet, what planet would you choose and why?"She answers promptly,"I would go to Mars because it seems so interesting with all the recent news about possible extra terrestrial life on the planet."Next, the panel asks the redhead the same question.Without any hesitation, she replies,"I'd like to go to Saturn to see all of its rings."Finally, the NASA scientists ask the blonde the same question they asked the brunette and the redhead.After pondering for several minutes, she finally answers,"I would go to the sun."Several scientists suppress a laugh, but the lead interviewer, trying to take the blonde seriously, explains,"Well, if you went to the sun, you'd burn to death almost instantaneously."The blond smirks and puts her hands on her hips."Don't be stupid! I'd go at night!"
Did you hear about the great new restaurant on the moon?
The food is excellent, but there's no atmosphere.
What do you call a moon out of orbit?
A Lunatic!
What kind of music do planets listen to?Neptunes!
What do planets like to read?Comet books!
What did the alien say to the cat?Take me to your litter.
Why don’t aliens eat clowns?Because they taste funny!

Clean Meat
I first heard about this on the podcastStar Talk Radio.WhereNeil deGrasse TysoninterviewsPaul Shapiroon his book called,(Are you ready for this?)"Clean Meat."OnThe Good Food Institute'sweb-site,cleanmeat.og,they explain whatClean Meatis.
In case you have not heard about it before.

WHAT IS CLEAN MEAT? Clean meat, which is also referred to as "cultured meat," is a groundbreaking technology that is poised to revolutionize the global food system.
Rather than obtaining meat from animals raised on environmentally destructive factory farms and slaughtered in filthy slaughterhouses, clean meat is produced by taking a small sample of animal cells and replicating them in a culture outside of the animal. The resulting product is 100 percent real meat, but without the antibiotics, E. coli, salmonella, or waste contamination – all of which come standard in conventional meat production.
Dr. Mark Post of Maastricht University proved meat could be created this way when he debuted the first clean meat hamburger in London in 2013–at a cost of roughly $330,000.
To put the developments of the past few years into perspective, the San Francisco startup Memphis Meats is now producing clean meat for $40 per gram, which is less than one - fiftieth of the cost from just a few years ago. And Dr. Post’s company, Mosa Meats, plans to sell its clean meat hamburgers for $10 a patty by 2020.
The end goal is to produce clean meat that is cheaper than even the least expensive conventionally produced chicken. Leading experts believe that is achievable within 10 years given adequate support for clean meat research and development.
What has me interested in this producthas nothing to do with its taste.I am all for it for one huge reason.
About 80 percent of antibiotics produced in the U.S. are given to farm animals. This steady stream of antibiotics contributes to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and superbugs that cannot be killed by standard antibiotics. Clean meat does not require the use of antibiotics.Superbugsis becoming a real problem in thisWorld. If we can stop slaughtering farm animals for food, grow cleaner food for our tables,and stop pumping our food with antibiotics,sign me up for the first$10 Clean Meat Burger!
This is,Never Going To Buy The Most Expensive Burger At $1,768.00Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“A hamburger, and a hot dog are very different, but they do share a common goal. They both want to be eaten.”

Why The Tardis Is The Perfect Spacetime Machine
Often,in my reading repertoire,I will go backand reread one of my favorite books from my youth.I recently decided to reread"The Time Machine,"byH.G. Wells.
A classic?Of course.But,reading it as an adult,it got me to thinking.Spoiler Alert.H. G. Wells' main character invents aTime Machine,which he uses to travel 800,000 years into the future.This got me thinking aboutTime Travelingon it's own.First,the basics. Would you be able to breath? During the Permian–Triassic extinction period, enormous volcanic eruptions filled the air with carbon dioxide, which fed different kinds of bacteria that began emitting large amounts of methane. The Earth warmed, and the oceans became acidic. Killing 96% of life that existed. With today's Global Warming, who is to say what kind of atmosphere the Earth will have 800,000 years into the future.
Now, how does one know, when traveling 800,000 years into the future, that the spot where you started from, isn't now part of a large oak tree, or maybe part of a building, and you materialize into one of them? Or, through Plate Tectonics, that your land mass where you started from isn't now underwater? Remember, 270 million years ago, there was only one land mass on Earth called Pangaea. Until it broke up, because of those Plate Tectonics, into the Continents we love and know today.
Eight hundred thousand years into the future, why would you think that you would materialize on the same spot anyways. A million or two, years ago, the Earth was spinning on it's Axis a lot faster then it is today. Due to a transfer of the Earth's rotational momentum to the Moon's orbital momentum, as tidal friction, it is slowing the Earth's rotation down. It is only 4 cm a year, or 1.57480315 inches per year. But times that by 800,000 years, you will have moved 19.8838782 miles away from your starting point.
You might also be buried underground. It is estimated that almost 300 metric tons of cosmic dust and meteorites falls to the Earth each day. The Earth is getting bigger. Three hundred metric tons might not seem like a lot, but times that by 800,000 years and you get 5.29109e11 pounds of extra debris on the planet. (This Link is for those who don't know what the e stands for on a calculator.) Sure, a lot of it falls into the water today, but what of the future?
Now it goes deeper then this. At first I figured, since the Earth is traveling through space at a rate of 19 miles per second on it's elliptical orbit around the Sun, you would have to choose the same date each year for your materializing or landing on the Earth. You would have to calculate in for each Leap Year as you travel because it takes the Earth 365.242375 days to travel around the Sun. If you choose some random date, the Earth might be on the opposite side of the Sun.
But it even gets deeper. According to NASA, our solar system is orbiting the center of the milky galaxy at a velocity of about 828,000km/h or 514,000 mph. Which means, even if you only went forward only one year in time, our solar system would have moved 187,610,000 miles away from the spot you started from. You would end up closer to a Mars' orbit then to the planet Earth's.This is whyTime Travelis so difficult.Besides the power constraints.You have to calculate inMinkowski Space.
The person who first came up with
Spacetime.
You will need a craft that travels in
Space
as well as in
Time.Which brings us back to theTardis.The perfectSpacetime Traveling Machine.
This is,Yes,This Is The Kind Of Stuff I Think About,Jim Hauenstein,

Great Time To Be A White Hat Hacker
Do you want to make some real money,but can't seem to find your way into theBlack Hat Hacker GroupscalledShadowCreworMazafaka?That's because one of the groups is now defunctand the other is always on the run.So,why don't you turn your attention away from the undergroundBlack Hat Hacker Groupsand go above ground as aWhite Hat Hacker?
White-Hat Hackers Earnings Sky-Rocket as Cyber Vulnerabilities on the Rise
by Dominique Adams @montagetime for DIGIT.com
Hacker powered security programmes are rapidly becoming a global phenomenon and as a result the business of bug bounties has become immensely lucrative. Experts predict that by 2022, hacker powered security will be used by more than 50% of enterprises. Data from HackerOne, the world’s largest bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure platform, has revealed that white-hat hackers are finding more severe vulnerabilities than ever before. As of May 2018, more than 72,000 vulnerabilities have been resolved on HackerOne, with more than one-third of those (27,000) resolved in the past year alone. Due to these increasingly positive outcomes, the average award for a critical vulnerability jumped by 33% to $20,000 for the top awarding programmes. A total of 116 unique critical vulnerabilities earned over $10,000 each in the past year.
The top bounty awarded for a single report reached $75,000 in 2017, with the most competitive programmes, such as Google, Microsoft and Intel, offering $250,000 bounty awards for critical issues. Marten Mickos, CEO of HackerOne said: “The world is embracing the highly skilled and creative hacker community to help reduce cyber risk.
Now that's what I am talking about!Do it Legally.
This is,Wishing I Had Stayed With Opening Up Back Doors,Computer Codes,Algorithms,Botnets,andEncryption. Jim Hauenstein,

The Five Best Posts Of May, 2018
Last month,when I wroteThe Five Best Posts Of April, 2018,three out of the five most viewedPostswere stories from my serial,The Man From Mars.Sorry that I haven't kept up with the serial since I came back from my vacation.Nowadays,I have to go to the local library to write thesePosts,and I only get a half hour of computer time.
An hour,
if no one is here. I plan on reading the serial from the beginning when I begin writing stories for it again,so I don't mix up the characters,places,and events.Until then,I hope you will be contented with my usualPostsaboutScience,Politics,Humor,andStory Telling.Oh,and if you haven't been reading myPostsfrom the last couple of months,I have had two computers crash on meand an ex-friend will not give me back my software so I can fix them.Microsoft,I do not hand out my software freely,so don't worry about yourIntellectual Property.While I was gone,my old friend took my software without my permission.But enough about my minor problems.Here are The Five Best Posts Of May, 2018!
The Fifth Best Post Of May, 2018 Is;Zombie PandemicThis is a Posts on how the CDC, or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. How they could not find a way for people to download their PDF files on preparedness for natural disasters. Then they came up with the idea to call it a Zombie Pandemic. It still is the same preparedness techniques used for a tornado or a hurricane, but the theme is different. Once they did this, their website crashed because so many people wanted to get their hands on the file!
The Fourth Best Post Of May Is;
Ghost AppsWhat can I say? The name alone should be self explanatory. You can now search for Ghosts on your own. Yes, you can now download Ghost Apps for your iPhone or Android phone. And a man by the name of Matt Crowley has actually rated ten of them for the iPhone.
The Third Best Posts Is;
Call MUFON Before Being ProbedThe U.S. Government says they no longer research every UFO siting in the United States. But if you see one, who you gonna call? MUFON, that's who. The Mutual UFO Network. They have stuff like, a link to Report a UFO. You can Support Their Research. Talk to an Experiencer Research Team member. Or subscribe to their monthly MUFON Journal. Check them out. They have other fun stuff too!

The Second Best Post Is;
So I Am Saying It AgainThis Post, being the second most popular Post of the month, kind of surprises me. It is my Political opinion about our current President. Usually, when I talk about him, I get Trolls hating me, and people sending me emails saying they will never read my Blog again. Well, if they are not going to read my stuff, why do they keep commenting on it? Haters love this Hater.
The Number One Best Posts Of May, 2018 Is; The Man From Mars - Season Three - Episodes 31 to 45Wow, thank you. It just goes to show how popular The Man From Mars serial really is. The Post Is basically has links to Episodes 31 through 45. Making it easier to find those Posts. An information page, I like to say.
There you have it.The Five Best Posts Of May, 2018.

Comic Con Back In San Diego
I am wearing one of my favoriteDoctor Who t-shirts today.The one picturing the firstEleven Doctors.People were asking if I have been,or if I am,going toComic Conthis year.I Wish!I have been to a comic book convention inSan Jose, Californiabefore,but nothing compares to theSan Diego Comic Con.The problem is,the big crowdsand the cost.I would not mind buying some kind ofVIP Pass,if they sold one.So I could move around easier. Otherwise,I am contented on knowing that I am close to being anO.G. Doctor Who Fanas there is in the world.I have been watchingDoctor Whosince 1975,collected and recorded video tapes of the show,when they still made video tapes, went to web-sites dedicated to the show during the 1990s,was gifted anSonic Screwdriverby my kids,and got four of my children hooked asWhovians, and so on.Actually,that part about getting my children hooked might have more to do withDavid TennantandMatt Smiththen me influencing my four girls.
FromBBC.com/news atComic Con."Here is a glimpse at the new look Doctor Who."When the Doctor gets regenerated, it always marks the beginning of a big change in the series - a whole new look, new assistant and this time, a whole new gender. We all know that Jodie Whittaker is taking over and Comic-Con fans were treated to a glimpse of the first female Doctor at a time when gender in film and television is a huge talking point. Showrunner Chris Chibnall, who was part of a panel made up of Whittaker, her companions Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole, plus exec producer Matt Strevens, said this series is different as it features writers of colour for the first time, along with female guest writers, directors and editors. "People need to know the business is for them as well," Strevens said. The trailer, which was shown to audiences, also appeared to confirm rumours that one episode will explore the civil rights movement in the United States. One shot shows the Doctor and her friends in front of a building which bears more than a strong resemblance to the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee where Martin Luther King was shot dead in 1968.
In the background the words 'Montgomery Motor Freight' can just be made out. The city of Montgomery is where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger and was arrested. It sparked huge protests involving Parks and a young Martin Luther King. Montgomery later became known as the home of the Civil Rights movement.
The crowd not only got to see the new trailer, but also the Doctor's new sonic screwdriver. Whittaker revealed it to fans on stage and it appeared to have had quite the makeover, although the screwdriver still had its iconic sound, so there's no need to panic!

Urged To Vote Democratic
Ex-FBI Head James Comey urges Public to vote DemocrateBy Sophie Tatum, CNN Former FBI Director James Comey is urging "all who believe in this country's values" to vote for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. In a tweet on Tuesday evening, Comey called the Republican-held Congress "incapable of fulfilling the Founders' design." "This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders' design that 'Ambition must ... counteract ambition.' All who believe in this country's values must vote for Democrats this fall. Policy differences don't matter right now. History has its eyes on us," he wrote. He also spoke out Monday against the President's comments at his joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "This was the day an American president stood on foreign soil next to a murderous lying thug and refused to back his own country. Patriots need to stand up and reject the behavior of this president," Comey said on Twitter.
James Comey served under both Republican and Democratic administrations. He noted that he had been registered as a Republican most of his life, adding that he is no longer.
The former FBI director has been vocal about his frustration with the Republican Party before, and in April he said he could no longer "be associated with it."
He continued in his interview with ABC News saying: "I see the Republican Party, as near as I can tell, reflects now entirely on Donald Trump's values."
"It doesn't reflect values at all. It's transactional, it's ego-driven, it's in service to his ego," he added.
This is,Like I Have Been Saying All A Long.Donald Trump Is Running This Country Like A Corporation.And He Is Trying To Find A Way Fire The American People!Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“Before corrupt leaders seize power, they fit reality to their lies.
Their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for true facts. For, in their opinion, facts depend entirely on the power of man who can fabricate them.”
- Hannah Arendt, -
That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Why Should I Vote?
I keep hearing this overand over again."Why should I vote? My vote doesn't count. Besides, all Politicians are crooked anyways."I know,
just a couple of months ago,
a lot of
States
had
Primaries,
which are the hardest
Elections
for
Voter
turnout.
People do not feel the need until the
Big Elections.
See,that is whatBig Political Machineswant you to think.They know they can rally up enough votes to get their particular candidate elected,
that will back their agenda,because that candidate will be owing to thePolitical Machine
that got them elected.
They will always be in the back pockets of those running the
Machine.
Let me tell you a little story about voting
and how every vote counts. MyGrandfather,when he was alive,was a localPoliticianin the city of Cudahy, Wisconsin .
The very first year he ran for public office,his family was so sure that he was going to win,that myMother,when she was still being courted by myFather,while he was still courting myMother,decided it was too much trouble for them to go outand vote.Back then,the candidates would receive a phone call from theWisconsin Election Boardtelling them of the results.MyGrandfathergot the calland lost byOne Vote.If myParentshad gone outand voted,myMother's Votewould have been the tying vote,and myFather's Votewould have been the winning vote.Your voteand every vote counts.The happy ending to this story is,myGrandfatherran again forPublic Officetwo years laterand won.He then held the position for16 Yearsin a row until he retired.True story.
In California, There Is So Much More To Vote For Than Just ForThe President Of The United States.Like The Prepositions On Each Ballot.
Or,
The Local Politicians Who Will Effect Your Life Before Some Executive Decision By The President.
This is,Always Mailing My Ballot In Early,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“Every election is determined by the people who show up.”
- Larry J. Sabato -
That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Homer
I am not talkingHomer Simpsonhere either.I am talking about theGreek PoetHomer,who was born sometime between the 12thand 8th centuries BC,possibly somewhere on the coast ofAsia Minor.He is famous for the epic poemsThe IliadandThe Odyssey,which have had an enormous effect onWestern Culture. A clay tablet discovered during an archaeological dig may be the oldest written record ofHomer's Epic Tale,theOdyssey,ever found inGreece,the country's culture ministry has said.Found near the ruinedTemple Of Zeusin the ancient city ofOlympia,the tablet has been dated toRoman Times.It is engraved with 13 verses from the poem recounting the adventures of the heroOdysseusafter the fall ofTroy.The tale was probably composed byHomerin the late8th Century BC.It would have been handed down in an oral tradition for hundreds of years before the tablet was inscribed.The exact date of the tablet still needed to be confirmed,but its discovery was"A great archaeological, epigraphic, literary and historical exhibit."TheGreek Culture Ministrysaid in a statement.Excavations to uncover the tablet took three years.TheOdysseyis widely considered to be a seminal work inWestern Literature.The poem,spanning some 12,000 lines,tells the story ofOdysseus,king ofIthaca,who spends 10 years trying to get home after participating in the fall of the kingdom ofTroy.The tablet,discovered byGreek & Germanresearchers,contains 13 verses from theOdyssey's 14th Rhapsody,in whichOdysseusaddresses his lifelong friendEumaeus.
