A Blitz Vienna Game
Here is a 3-minute blitz Vienna game I played (white) that went fairly well after black captured Nd5 with a bishop instead of a pawn.
Season of Silence (poem)
Sound byting silence’s sweet squash
pflows rhymed ice deeper
tlooking at the future
thousands of ever sands
tri-colored with three hours
deconstruction of pragmatic foes
reaching
faster than never
Whild social Earth calculations
reinforce organizations seigs
gatts being food, currency, baubles of barriers
with lights dimming in the depressed branes
images resonating thoughts
built up like snowflakes in July
reproduced nine billion times
flesh attacking borders
to reposition the silence of shadows
with noise from central ideas
Waiting for the space
believing in nothing
they would build a comfortable cellular structure
meaningful for being meaningless
sparks of quarks scintillating to wonder
about the edges of time
before one-dimensional entreaties rush
a mass entity’s pleasures for electronic-motion
happiness in the for-itself
In God one trusts the silent season ends.
The Pentagon's Tech Puzzle; How to Take Out 15,000 North Korean Arti Pieces
North Korea reportedly has 15,000 artillery pieces pointed at Seoul from mountains across the DMZ. Solving the problem of how to take out those weapons in their hardened sites before they cab rubblize Seoul if a war starts to terminate Dictator Kim's nuclear and ICBM capability is requisite to create a low-casualty war resumption. It is something like a chess tactics puzzle I suppose,wherein one must find a solution using available resources in an innovative way to checkmate the opponent. That's why Generals and Admirals get paid the big bucks.

Republican 'Health Care' and Weaponized Herpes
It seems to me that Republicans have shown they don't care about the poor that lack medical services as well as the national public debt. It would be good to expand the V.A.hospital system and network it with existing poor Americans clinics to provide free services directly to those that are actually quite poor. Such a system would be the cheapest and most effective way to go, and would improve veteran's services as well as a backup facility in case of national medical emergency such as weaponized herpes converting victims into Democrats with millions of casualties.
Neither do they seem too concerned about North Korea building up nuclear weapons...since the cold war was repealed it needs to be replaced with new mutually assured destruction possibilities. Democrats could increase corruption and homosexualize things better if they were in office helping to make the U.S.A. more of a godless, globalist playground for plutocrats. Republicans really should try to be more realistic instead of spoilt and impractical.
Insurance relief for the prosperous people that want to live forever will be subsidized by poor people someplace while wealth concentrates. Power has its own logic.
Dictator Kim Knows Trump Will Let Him Have All the Nukes He Wants
North Korean Kim Jong Un knows the Trump administration will let him have all of the nuclear weapons and ICBMs he wants.The United States has a proven track record of appeasement beginning with the Clintons that will never end.

American Presidents have a built-in Chamberlain conditioning these days. Kim knows that President Trump might threaten and talk with 'friends' about the problem but won't do anything about it militarily.
North Korea has 15,000 artillery pieces pointed at Seoul that are in hardened positions. Some new military tech application would need to neutralize those at the start of any conflict to destroy Dictator Kim's nuclear ensemble. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/north-korea-artillery_us_58f631a4e4b0b9e9848eb990 That might be too much military innovation for the Pentagon to provide.
Like the U.S.public debt that some actually talk about but never balance the budget and increase taxes to pay off the debt, expand the V.A. and coordinate it with homeless clinics to provide real direct medical services to the poor, the U.S.A. is to reliant on free money from the Federal Reserve and socially irrsponsible to ever actually go to war with a dangerous nation,
Thus Kim Un gives the middle finger salute to the U.S.A.in joy of doing so well against an oppenent homosexualizing its military and making enemies and new dangers after the cold war victory of peace.

Small Mountain Ranges Should Be the Next Stage of Architecture
Buildings should resemble small mountain ranges with people living inside. Wildlife and climbers could inhabit the exterior spaces that are covered in plant life when not too steep. Micro-climate conservation can be increased. Present rectilinear structures on blocks are equally bad regardless of being classical or post-modernist. The inorganic sterility isn't cognizant of the value of life on Earth besides human except sometimes as products for sale. Human dwellings bump-off nature erasing its being.

The Problem with Alaska State Government Revenue Decline
Diversification is important. Those who fail to diversify are doomed to decline when the commodity upon which they rely falls in value. As it is in the wild kingdom, so it is in government and business revenues. In the anthropocene era of mass extinction, diminishing wild resources follow the concentration of non-ecologically economic unsound government policy and decline. Going back to the same food sources for financial nourishment until they are exhausted, and looking with Neanderthal spiritual brothers for a point of light in the dark of night, oil is in the stone lamp flaming the moss wick to guide government to the promised land of more wells pumping in syncopation.
Russia Has a Newer, Higher-rated Main Battle Tank
There is a video that provides a commparison between the U.S. Abrams and the Russian Armata main battle tanks. The Armata has great looking tank-value. One would need independently guided drones with anti-tank cluster bombs or maybe some stealthy, sticky flying heat mines that glom onto a tank a burn through its metal to do much with it. I like the angled turret; tough to get a solid hit with a rocket on that. Maybe President Trump should buy 500 instead of developing a next gen Abrams; the Clinton MBT or something. The comparative shopper value rating (throwing out the last two meaningless scores) was Armata 76 vs Abrams 61.
So the rating is 76 for the Armata and 61 for the Abram.The Armata is a newer tank and a little better and a lot cheaper. Those pesky drones landing like giant invisible mosquitoes might make a tanker's life difficult in the years ahead. Russia might sell quite a few, even in the U.S.A., though Detroit won't allow Tesla's to be sold on other dealership lots in Michigan. Might be cheaper than developing a next-gen Clinton M.B.T.
The Armata costs 3 million apiece plus while the Abrams runs 8 or 9 million each. It goes 54 m.p.h. while the Abrams is a 36 M.P.H. slow poke. Youthful tank drivers like speed I would think. The U.S. Government already has 9200 Abrams. That may be enough already. Could Sect. of State Tillerson interest Russia in buying a 1000 used Abrams?

Should Military Sign-Uo Age Be Raised to 60 for Tech Jobs?
Enlistment
in the U.S. military is capped at 34. That was designed for an era
when the computer didn’t exist and far fewer technical and
electronic devices existed; not to mention software and system’s
analysis.
If
the military wants to assure that is has software developers without
decades of experience it should keep the present enlistment age. If
it wants computer people that have been working in the field for a
half century it might want to raise the enlistment age for tech work
in select MOS’s to age 60.
Those over 34 would need to show several years of pre-existing training and education in a field the military deems useful.
Those over 34 would need to show several years of pre-existing training and education in a field the military deems useful.
There
would probably be fewer adjustments required of the military for older people than those needed for
trans-gender soldiers and homosexuals. Older people merely need
reasonable accommodation, and should probably learn to shoot .357
magnum semi-automatic pistols instead of Army combat rifles.
Older
intellectuals that would enlist to serve to keep the national defense
tight probably should have height and weight criteria and some basic
soldier skills training, however it should be soldier skills express
in a basic training regime designed for older enlistees.
It
might be useful to have separate services rankings for elder tech
enlistees equivalent in military nomenclature for E, WO, and O; they
could be T or Technical soldiers somewhere parallel to WOs.
Zuckerberg May Be Inventing Mind-Control Chess
It stands to reason
that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg would invent mind-controlled
chess. He is working on mind-computer interface so taking the next
step to mind-controlled electronic chess is only logical.
Blitz chess is fast. Hitting the Fischer clock to start and stop time is nno country for old men. Gary Kasparov will play in the Grand Prix event at St. Louis in blitz and rapid and would do better with an electronic board so he doesn't knock over pieces playing against younger, quicker hand-eye guys.
If Kasparov merely had to think to move a piece or start and stop the clock he would probably be faster than the much younger opponents. Outwardly he may be all thumbs while inwardly he has the mind of a Zuckerberg.
Older players hope that Kasparov whips the young fellows with the knowledge. He thus could use a Fischer clock changed so that the controlling device for the player has a button on a wire for each player on their own side of the board. Reaching to one side can be disadvantagious for a left-handed player or vice versa, and impossible for one with a pre-existing shoullder injury or arthritic fingers.
It is embarrassing to see a player knock over chess pieces where he might have won otherwise. That can be remedied with brain-chessboard interfacebooking with the winning move just a thought away.

G-20 Protesters are Anti-Globalist like Pres. Trump?
G-20
protesters gathering in Hamburg to make an anti-globalism statement
may have an ally inside in President Donald Trump. A real
America-first policy must be anti-globalist implicitly to be true.
There
are many pro and con points for globalism. Communications today have
made globalism a fact. The effort is to keep political sovereignty
locally in order that democracy can continue to exist instead of
networked planetary plutonomy.
Ecologically
speaking there are innumerable inefficiencies that waste energy and
resources in shipping everything about globally. Its damaging to the
ecological sustainability of the world, yet leaders really don't
think about that much. While they talk up global warming measures
they promote trade policies that contribute to the anthropocene mass
extinction. They could place a global warming tax on fossil fuel
vehicles and a moratorium on electric vehicle taxes, yet money
matters more than change.
British
P.M. Theresa may talks about stopping terrorist financing, yet that
is basically the entire Muslim world, China and about everyone
besides the United States and Europe (except for dissenting
communists). Everyone in the globalism era has an interest in
bumping off the U.S. and Europe economically and politically.
Terrorism supports economic empowerment for non-western powers.
Fundamentally the concern about terrorist financing that any G-20
leaders will have would actualize as victimization of their own
citizens in ways that would accelerate the transfer of wealth from
the poor and middle classes to the most rich.
Because
the G-20 powers are concerned largely about making the most rich
richer they will enact more policies that appeal to planetary
populists for economic purposes, allow Europe to become Muslim and
continue to attack the U.S.A. and President Trump for having a
different idea. He shall find it difficult to resist their desire to
annex Ukraine and Russia unto Europe with an eye on the vast mineral
wealth of Siberia.
Human
nature and original sin haven’t evolved away. People still want
personal consumer comforts and real estate, cars in the yard and good
health care. Mostly they have become unconcerned about politics
except to appeal for more for-themselves. They tend not to care about
public debt. Those attitudes are developed and exploited by the G-20
leaders who seek just to concentrate wealth. Reproduced billions of
times, those approaches are not good for the prospects of human life
on Earth; "I am selling my kid's bicycles; they have moved up to SUVs".

G-20; Place Tax on Global Warming Gas Cars- Not Electric Vehicles
The G-20 ought to try to actually get something useful done and agree to place a global warming tax on fossil fuel burning internal combustion engine vehicles. They should also agree that trafficking cars that produce global warming gas should incur a modest penalty.
The G-20 should agree to not allow fuel taxes on e-cars in order to encourage sales increase of non-greenhouse gassing vehicles.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40526169
Look at any ordinary European or American city; they are flooded with cars and SUVs and people that idle the engines to warm up or cool down. Those people are clueless and their cars are sent abroad to the second and third world eventually. Humanity is a species with hundreds of millions of vehicles adding global warming gasses as if they were dinosaurs that don't get it.
A modest incentive to produce more e-cars that would one day be sent to Africa and Latin America instead of dirty smog generating clunkers is a very modest yet useful step to take.

Democrats Hate Russia Because it Quit Communism
The Democratic Party hatred for Russia is difficult to understand. I googled it and found that Ann Colter said its because Russia quit communism. That makes sense; its as good a reason for the illogical post-cold war behavior as any. She might have overlooked the point that Russia hasn't shown much support for a gay new world order either; and that is another reason for their hate (though Russia did appoint a guy named Sergei Lavrov to the foreign Sect. post with cutting cognates). Those whom ditch Lenin are sure to suffer the wrath of cons.
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/democrats-demand-trump-confront-putin-election-interference-n780121
The Democrat Party cuts taxes for the rich and doesn't care about piling up public debt or meaningful government reform to increase effciency and lower cost. Apparently they believe that the Federal Reserve and just prop up any deficit spending the government needs to do to finance lots of welfare benefits in an ill-though out way to redistribute wealth...it deosn't actually do that.
Wealth is being concentrated because of the lack of Democrat Party economic understanding. They have no evidence of comprehending what ecological economics are , why its necessary not to have a vast 20 trillion dollar public debt, why people need to work instead of getting welfare benefits without hope of work, why globalism and a whore's boundry with Mexico with its vast dope problems and corruption equal to or greater than that of the U.S.A. aren'''t sustainable policies.
Democrats would rather dance for Dictator Un than stop nuclear weapons build up because at the end of the day is is the last, best hope in their eye for possibility of world communism. China seems somewhat sold out to capitalists in a snarky way keeping a majority share of corporations buying into China.

Shouldn't States Have Global Warming Tax on Fossil Fuels/Cars?
Reportedly 13 states are putting a tax on electric cars to make up for loss of tax revenue on gas sales. That money fro the gas tax is used to help pay for roads. Legislators want the money. It does have some wrong reasoning in it though.
Electric cars are not promary producers of global warming gases as internal combustion vehicles are. Taxing them as transport equals is just wrong. People should be encouraged to evolve toward electric vehicles and not paying a gas tax is a good method.
At least taxes in cars that burn gas, propane, gasohol etc that produce global warming gases, should be higher in order to encourage people to buy untaxed electric cars. Fossil fuel burning vehicles are the major source of greenhouse gases in the United States- about 51% of the gobal warming gases.

Earthquake of 5.8 Centered 4km Below Lincoln Montana
The earthquake of 5.8 magnitude that occurred at 12:32 am this morning may have been the largest in recent Montana history. Its epicenter was 4 km below Lincoln Montana. Buildings were felt to shake as far away as the state capitol.

It’s OK to Resume the Korean War (it never legally ended)
In
most wars custom indicates that it’s unwise to allow one’s enemy
a vast period of time to build up a nuclear arsenal and weapons
delivery systems such as ICBMs. The United States and the U.N. have
done that since there never was an agreement to end the Korean War,
only an armistice to halt combat along a demilitarized zone for a
time.
One
wonders what sort of logic makes people in the Democrat Party feel
safer with a belligerent, nuclear armed nation that mocks the United
States apparently confident the U.S.A. is a paper tiger.
The
possible Korean War round 2 seems like one of those moral and
necessary engagements that would be fought by people that aren’t
yet too spoilt. Winning is everything of course, as Vince Lombardi
said. And winning as efficiently as possible is better.
That
practical worldly guide to rulers, Niccollo Machiavelli wrote :
(When) "There
is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of
others."
Allowing
North Korea additional time to build up more nuclear weapons, in
effect, creating another Soviet-era style brinksmanshp, abnegates
responsibility and is an ostrich-like political relativism. Though Democrats may yearn for Soviet style communism and hate Russia for abandoning that plan, they are wrong in wanting to dance for the dictator and let him build up a cornice of nukes that one day may wipe out L.A. and The L.A. Times.
Nearly Hallf of the Weight of Moon Surface Rocks is Oxygen
Numerous
studies have been made about how to extract the oxygen from moon
surface rocks. Oxygen makes up about 45% of the weight of moon rocks.
It would be good to be able to fill one's lave tube home with locally
made, patriotic oxygen rather than foreign.
Apparently
the moon may have soaked up a lot of oxygen from the over the ages.
While Earth people are rather careless about their destruction of the
health of the Earth ecosphere, the senseless moon is a collector of
any oxygen leaked from the Earth atmosphere drifting its way.
Senselessness for some physical processes is more efficient than
intelligence in the case of increasing oxygen (the Earth's is
decreasing as a percent because of global warming gases and habitat
destruction; not to mention the Holocene extinction live.
A
motivation for producing oxygen from the moon is to make lox (liquid
oxygen) for fuel. That seems rather dumb to me. The first thing
humans want to do is to make fuel for engines and waste resources. At
least Volvo committed to quit producing fossil fuel vehicles and go
all-electric instead.
The
moon is a useful place for a scientific and habitat construction
experimental station, as well of course as a transportation hub to
the rest of the solar system. Solar energy and super-conductors
working at permanent very cold temperatures should allow a surfeit of
electric engines and transport technologies such mass drivers to
proliferate.
Eventually
fabrication facilities for modular space components could be built on
the moon and perhaps elsewhere exploiting rock from the asteroid
belt, careful brought to the moon. Maybe the mass of the moon should
not be changed in order to avoid increasing or decreasing its
distance from the Earth. Building components that can be put into
space from the lunar surface could be as panels locked in together to
form very large structures. It is not difficult to imagine forming
planetary size object somewhat automatically wit modular components
floating about and guided into designed places with magnetism.
It
would be rather remarkable if one day one could make planets
something like transformers that can assemble, detach and reassemble
as needed. Modules that contain complete Earth terrarium green house
capability could also be shoe-boxed and sent to appropriate locations
around the solar system to grow independently in isolation from the
indigenous environment or grow itself into it.

PRI Anti-Russia Propaganada Piece for July 4th
The media must believe Americans are really stupid. An article written for the 4th of July was designed to create anti-Russian patriotism. Russia was said to have been 'meddling' in Americans affairs, yet the article is about Britain's efforts to get Russia involved in the U.S. Revolutionary War, and of course it did not. It gave John Paul Jones a job sailing after the war (for Russia) and that was about it.
Interesting piece of propaganda though. Those guys must really hate Russia and lust after the Myrny diamond pipes. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/how-russian-meddling-impacted-the-american-revolution/ar-BBDLMFW?li=BBnb7Kz
Misleading, deceptive history articles created to affect support for particularly daft foreign policy primarily of benefit to the 1% are rather lame.
