Got To Believe In Love

There's a place in Jerusalem, Israel where all different regions are allowed to pray among a limestone wall, none of that we're right and you're wrong, everyone has different beliefs and religions as for me I also say no one is righter than the other.I might say if the religion is different than mine "I have my own beliefs, but I will still respect and appreciate your peaceful religion" 

Most religious have teachings of hell, but they may be using that as a scare tatic so  people would do the churches' bidding, or stories such as Job that you get twice of much if you give at least 10% of your income; Or they might say for example the Greek symbol for medicine is from the devil and doctors work for the devil. What they're trying to do is to take money from the doctors and have it spent on faith healers and to me  all  the faith healers are phony.

Remember Jim Jones telling people in order to go to heaven drink poisoned lemonade, please be careful of what religion you pick. There were at least four tv faith healers that had their churches and tv shows shut down because of phony faith healers,yes if you know  preachers like that report them.By the way if a person believes in doctors or not, the state can force you or/and kids to see a doctor regardless of your religion,especially in this time with the coronavirus. crisis.

Make sure your region is about love and not about hate or downgrading everything in sight or asking for money 15+ times in one sermon. If you see a lez person or gay person or anyone else from LGBTQIA remember they are still humans and as such they still need to be loved and respected. This includes different races,and their languages as well...Yes there are religions saying if you can talk in other languages,it's from the devil. That is so stupid! I don't believe in devils and demons; After all this is the 21st century.

Fun With The Commodore 64

The commodore 64 is an old 1980's computer that allow one to write their own programs using the basic language or to store information for example like recipes, It is still a useful computer.

The commodore 64 uses 5 1/4 inch floppies in their disk drive, but first the disk had to be formatted using this command, by typing
             1,8,1,"N: Your program name, 1a": CLOSE 1
 The first "1" is the file number,the number 8 is the device number which in this case means disk drive, and the final number one means to write.The 1a is the ID number and it can be any  two characters you choose. Once the command is typed  press RETURN, the disk drive will start rattling ,it's normal, after about 1 1/2 minutes your disk has been formatted and ready to use.

Now you can start writing your program
to save the program(s) type include the quotes: 
SAVE "MY PROGRAM",8 then press RETURN;
            (comma before the 8) 
 To load your saved program type:
 LOAD"MY PROGRAM",8 press RETURN.
To write protect a disk simply put tape around the slot on the left side.Even electrical tape will do.

This command LOAD"$",8:LIST, will list all the programs  on a disk, The dollar sign in computer language is called a string

The above will work only if the computer is using the basic language, but there is also a machine language ,use mostly for video games  Most of the time you can just insert a game disk and it will load automatically , you may have to wait 3 to 5 minutes before it's fully loaded,Machine language is 30 times faster than the basic language and it's the inner most workings of the machine.

There are times when a game disk has two games but there is no way to get to the menu, so we can use these commands.

         LOAD "1",8,1 to load first game (or file) on disk.

         LOAD "2",8,1 to load second game (or file) on disk.
Again, 8 is the device number, the number one after the eight means machine language

Commodore game disks has all sorts of games like Pac-Man,Chess,Car racing etc. and each of those games can be copied to another disk using coping software.A person can at that time buy joy sticks for the machine.

Remember floppy disks are actually flat recording tape meaning that they have to stay away from magnetic fields. As for modern CDs and DVDs they're nothing but plastic. (end)

       

Earth, Sandwiches,Fractions,etc. How Big is Big?

You order a one- third-pounder hamburger or veggie burger because it is bigger than a one-forth pounder but how much bigger is it really?

Fractions: (1/3)-(1/4) = (4/12)-(3/12)= difference of (1/12)

Not much difference, but the above... amounts to 1 and 1/3 ounces, or 2 tablespoons and a pinch more.Yes, there are two level tablespoons in a ounce.

                        Decimals: (.33 - .25)=.08
                   Percentages: (.08/100) or .0008%
So percentage wise we are not  getting  much more, ordering a one-third pounder.
                                    The Earth
Some say the earth is covered by 75% (3/4) of water others say that the earth is covered by 67% (2/3) of water let's find the difference between those two. 

Fractions:      (3/4)-(2/3)=(9/12)-(8/12)= total  again (1/12)

Decimals:       (.75 - .67)=.08

Percentages:  (.08/100) or again .0008%  

But unlike our sandwiches, the volume of the earth is a big deal, even at .0008 % it is still a big chunk of the earth.
The earth has a volume of 650 billion cubit miles .0008% of that is 52 billion cubit miles.   

In kilometers the earth's volume is 1 trillion* cubit kilometers and .0008 % of that is: 80,000,000,000 cubit kilometers.At present tough they say the earth is covered by 71% of water.

*A trillion is a number followed by twelve zeroes in both the United States and the United Kingdom. (end)

Doubling Pennies on Checkerboard Math Dilemma.

So here is a math dilemma: A person puts a penny on one square of a checkerboard and doubles it on the second square and  then doubles the second square  on the third square (etc). So how many pennies will that person have on the board when all 64 squares are completed ?

Believe or not it is not hard to figure out but time consuming Instead of pennies we can use math exponents:
For the first square write down 2 ^0, 
second square write down 2^1 ,
third square write down 2^2
Forth square write down 2^3 
until we reach the 64th square 2^63 . Now go to Google calculator and type in ( (2^0) + (2^1) + (2^2)  + (2^3) etc and once you get to (2^63) press the equal sign for the total.

Yes, that is time consuming ,unless we have a commode 64, or any other computer that has  the "BASIC" language. Here is the program listing .press RETURN after typing each line number and text.

50 PRINT CHR$(147)
100 FOR X = 0 TO 63 
105 PRINT  ( 2↑X)
110 T = T + ( 2↑X)
120 NEXT X
130 PRINT "TOTAL:  "  T

Line 105 displays how many pennies are on each square ; While line 110 adds all the pennies on each of the squares.Line 130 displays the complete total. Notice that the word " TOTAL: " is enclose in quotes.

You will notice that the program uses math exponents or the power of each number.For example 2  or any number that is not zero in the power of zero is equal to 1.  Zero in the zero power is undefined.

When done simply type "RUN" without the quotes and press the 'RETURN' key .It will reveal the answer within 5 seconds.
 It will display:  TOTAL:  1.84467441E+19.  That (E+19) means to move the decimal point to the right 19 places yielding the result of 18,446,744,100,000,000,000 pennies. 
To get the dollar amount simply omit the last two zeroes.

               Explaining the for-next statement:
      On the first round X will have a value of zero making ( 2↑X) equal to ( 2↑0) which in turn equals 1.

When  the "next" statement is reached X  will  now have a value of  1 making ( 2↑X) equal to ( 2↑1) which equals to 2.

On the third  round X will be equal to 2
making ( 2↑X) equal to ( 2↑2) =2 x 2  = 4

On the fourth round X will be equal to 3
making ( 2↑X) equal to ( 2↑3) =2 x 2 x 2 = 8

On the fifth round X will be equal to 4
making ( 2↑X) equal to ( 2↑4) =2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16  and so on until it reaches 63.

Now what we have to figure out now is how big was that checkerboard ? Where did she/he got all those pennies ?, and which banks went along with her/him ? ; And once all the pennies were placed did the checkerboard fall through the floor? (end)

    

   

            

Picking Lotto Hot Numbers

To pick the lottery's hot numbers all one has to do is write down the past 10 games with the dates in ascending order then divide the games into  two 5 number games. Games1 through 5 and Games 6 through 10 with a line between them.

Now all one has to do ,is to see which numbers hit at least twice in games 1 through 5 ;AND at least once in games 6 through 10 those numbers are considered hot numbers. For example the number 29 may be found twice in games 1 though 5 and again at least once (or more )in games 6 through 10.

                                 Good Luck
                         (don't go overboard)

The Headless Flintstones

The Flintstones was the very first prime time cartoon, the first two years the show was aim at adults and came on Friday nights on ABC at 8:30 PM ET 

After which it was aim for teenagers but came on Thursday nights because they thought most of them would be on dates on Fridays.The show it seems is loosely base on Jackie Gleanson's Honeymooners.

Where does the headless Flintstones come in ? Most of the cartoon cels had headless characters drawn on them, it was a way to save time and money by just drawing, and animate just the heads.

 For example if a character is talking for about a minute with his/hers hands on the side of their body it would make NO sense to re-drawn the same stationary body over and over again. They would just lay the head cels first then place their body cel the reason they bob their heads slightly up and down.

Not only that, but in some of their cartoons they would have repeating backgrounds. Remember seeing the old movies? Were people was suppose to be on a train , you look outside of the train window and notice they pass the same tree over and over 
again.

Computers make cartoon making simpler now, just animated a character walking, once that is animated, the computer will automatically moved the background at the chosen speed. Heck one does not even need an ink and paint department anymore, nor do they need a cartoon camera.

The Flintstones are now on METV at 6 PM ET weekdays, and on Sundays 10 AM to 12 NOON, and they were made the old fashion way, with ink and paint and a cartoon camera that aimed down on the drawings.(end)

SCRABBLE

One of the board games I like to play is scrabble, there are lot of various ways to play the game, but I like the original rules once a person places a triple or double word score the extra bonus points become delinquent to the other players.This way people will play all over the board instead of staying in the same area.

But if a person is playing with their foreign friends they will have to realize; If the words sound the same doesn't mean they are spelled the same. For example: 'An American gentleman traveled, and a British gentleman travelled' 

On Halloween an America kid puts on a mask, while a British kid puts on a maskque, there is also a bank check (American) and bank cheque (British)

Now let's try German. When an Americans plays shoe, the German would play Schuh (they both are pronounce the same) and remember the German 'J' sounds like a English 'y' the words below mean the same thing and pronounce the same in German and English, except they are spelled differently.

                      American- German
                           young -  jung
                         English-Englisch
                              fish-  Fisch
                            swine- Schwine
                              mine- mein
                               beer- Bier
                         October -Oktober 
                             uncle  -Onkel
                             yodel - jodel
                      December -Dezember
                             house -Haus
                             mouse- Maus
                                 man -Mann
                                 here -hier
                               brown -braun
                                green -grun
                                    fat  -fett
                                    tea  -Tee
Also when a noun is use their plurals are different on 'minute' Americans add an 'S" while Germans add a 'N"
                             minutes-mintuen but in this case they are not pronounce the same;  Minuten is pronounce Min- nute- ton.There are other ways Germans plural their nouns not always with a N or S. 

There are exceptions of the 'J' sounding like a 'Y' in German, for example the word 'job' is pronounced the same in both English and German and means the same thing, and spelled the same.

Now let's try Spanish; Even if the word is spelled the same in both  English and Spanish  and means the same thing; The pronunciations are different, in Spanish 'idiot' is pronounced "Id- dee- oat-Ta" 

Another word that means the same in both Spanish and English but pronounce different is 'general' . We all know that the Spanish 'J' sounds like a 'H',  so does a 'G' if it becomes right before an 'E' making the pronunciation 'Hen-R-Al" 
       click here to heard general in Spainish

Now words do change meanings in time, in the early 50's and 60's the word 'Gay" meant happy and care free. You probably even heard The Flintstones theme song with one lyric saying "We will have a gay old time". (end, fin, ende)  :)

New Joker Movie--Free Speech ?

The new Joker movie is rated 'R' and it's going to be bloody, I DO watch some 'R' rated movies if they do not contain grapic/gory violence; A few 'F' words and/or nudity I can handle. 

Yes, there is a such a thing as free speech, but that does not mean you can yell "FIRE" in a crowded movie theater if no danger exist. I believe that is both endangerment to the public because it may cause unnecessary panic and  it is also disorderly conduct.

The movie wants to teach people a lesson on what would happen if a person gets push   too far, they push back and care for nobody.This is how the Joker was in the comics before there was a comics code authority, after which the Joker was toned down.

The country of China has banned the Joker movie  and other European countries  have followed suit,as well; I believe it will be banned in most of the United States,not only the movie, but their related products as well, Joker masks, Joker toys, and maybe white geese paint etc.The new Joker movie ? Not for me.

Our local theater on one Friday night had shown the movie "Jackass The Movie" the next day on Saturday morning there were lot of sirens heard , teenagers were trying to do the movie's fake stunts. A sheriff came to the theater and seized  the film and the theater was ordered not to show that movie any more.The sheriff locked the film in his desk, before it was mailed back to the studio.I believe - this will also happen to the new Joker movie.

As for all the adjectives saying The New Joker movie is a good movie-WELL, movie companies will pay magazines on what to say and what to post

If The Joker movie is legal in your locale, go at your own risk (end)

Seeing Is Not Always Believing-

You're walking one night in the neighborhood, you stop at one house and through the blinds you see a silhouette (shadow) of a woman plunging a knife in a body, when it is pulled out you see liquid dripping. Did a murder actually take place? A few moments later it was found out she was simply cutting her a piece of a runny cherry pie, no murder had taken place.

At an another time you walk the neighborhood,you look up inside a window and notice an under age kid smoking, but he wasn't smoking, but soldering his kit that he just had bought from Radio Shack.

You go to a live theater you see a silhouette of a man playing a piano behind the curtains, is that piano actually there, maybe, or maybe not it could simply be a cardboard cutout along with a record playing piano music.

                      Let's Fool Someone Eyes
From a reverse deck of cards, a deck with black diamonds,black hearts, red spades and red clubs take out the black 9 of hearts.

Now get two other face cards from a regular deck A ace of diamonds and a jack of clubs. Put the black nine of hearts between the other two cards.

When performing the trick say "Here is the ace of diamonds" and turn it face-down on the table,"Here is the 9 of spades {actually it is the black 9 of hearts} and place that face-down of the table and finally place the jack of clubs face-down on the table.

Now tell your friend you just made the 9 of spades disappear. He/she will pick it up and would say "It's right here" tell them to look at that card again, When he/she notice it is the black nine of hearts they may grab your hands, wondering where you hid the 9 of spades. Only reason they thought the black 9 of hearts are spades, because you told them it was.

Andrea Jürgens R.I.P

In 2004 my stomach and chest started to hurt, when I went to the hospital they told me I had a kidney infection, but in my case after giving me a prescription for Cipro they told me to drink plenty of water and fruit juices to flush my infection out.Just drinking coffee from day to day isn't going to do it.

Unfortunately in 2017 Andrea Jugens (An-dre-ah  Yo-gins) a German female singer also had a kidney infection; Sad to say; She did not make it. This beautiful talented innocent lady had died.

I will  always will love her  singing, and  something I felt that wasn't even possible; Her singing actually makes me feel the love she has for all the peoples of the world; As if many tiny love arrows were piercing our very souls and filling the emptiness of our hearts with her love.
I just wish in heaven she can feel our love that we have for her.                                                  I love you,Andrea
                                             with all my heart
                                            and for all eternally

The Burning Screaming Televangelist

"Norman" was a televangelist one day on his broadcast he ask all his followers in his church and to the people at home to send $100 so he and the church could feed the poor.

When that day came the church invited all the poor people to their church for a dinner and it was televised, but once the show was over he told the poor people to leave,  the church and their members wanted the food just for themselves.

The poor people spoke up saying that they're are tired of being hungry all the time; "Norman"did promise them they won't go hungry by machine gunning them down."There says "Norman" your starving days are over !"

He had had told his congregation that the poor people had to be killed because they had nothing to offer: They weren't able to give any money to the church. 

The super-heroine's daughter and her mom got wind about the event, and decided to punish the televangelist,  with their mercy  now gone they headed for the evil church.

Once at the church the super-heroine's daughter threw a giant fireball from her hands and set the evil televangelist on fire. "Don't kill him !" yelled her mom.

The super-mom flew around the evil televangelist in circles until he was  finally locked in a  repeated time loop... "Norman"  won't die, but the time loop does repeats itself over and over, and each time it does the evil televangelist now feels extreme  pain and his skin being burnt over and over again for eternally.... Yes, "Norman" literally went to hell, isolated from the rest of the world.

*except for the killing parts and the super-heroines this story is base on true events.The church is currently closed and their evil members arrested.(end)
