  • Music Enjoyment

    Deer ¹  

      A couple of new movies have been announced - Star Trek and James Bond's Skyfall -neither have announced their music score yet  ...

      How is Change Progress? Growing up surrounded by the arts, why is the concept of new and old confusing? Mozart in cartoons, initiates a modernist opinion of nothing original. Art criticism, reduces to the vaguest of outlines, an opinion based on antipodal attitudes in illogical argument. Their antithesis of new and old presents, without evidence of syllogism or upgrade, a statement in pop culture; questioning any human activity's' importance. Historical antipodal opposition verses an aesthetic one, could be a quote from biblical poetry, on vanity - 'Vanities of all vanities; all is vanity.' (vanity is a form of lying) The line sounds ancient, as well as modern. It is not informative or of any importance; except maybe to the cosmetic business when used in reference to a teenager sitting in front of a vanity mirror. Pompous disguise of the plain with the new look. Old orchestral music such as P.E. Bach or the public presentation of Vivaldi played before a modern piece, begs the question, of music master like or dislikes. The new symphony composer might despise the ancients because of ignorance or training. They might find Beethoven as incompetent, or maybe they sneer at Wagner as a mildly interesting bungler, and as for Verdi and other notable Italians, they wrote the unpardonable crime of melody. The general consensus is these old masters wrote more interesting music then their new critics. They prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the old wave is the new wave - in a different context. That is the reason for their longevity compared to the stillborn creativity of the 'one-hit wonders' of today. Many old song authors are not worth listening to; as are many new ones. Aesthetic authenticity is not stated, they settle nothing, so maybe it is intentional. The terms 'classical and romantic' are new genres. They were not used, as inspiration, in the time, of the masters of music.

    1.    The first police force in the world was French of 1856, known as the marechaussee.

    2.    All sciences are now in apllication to solving crime

    3.    Inventions such as the microscope, ultra-violet rays, moulage castings, Bertillon system of measurements, ancient Chinese finger-printing, helixometer in weapon ballistics, Keeler polygraph or lie detector in interogations, scopolamine or truth serum, ink oxides to sulphides, blood tests and  toxicology use the sciences of microchemistry and with a microspectroscope, all enhance a photographic, international criminal exchange.

    4.    The perfect crime is now becoming a mere myth because science has shown that the so-called “perfect crime” was simply a matter of imperfect investigation now revealed in a glass world.

    The #"White Shadow", an early production of Alfred Hitchcock (as an asstistant director) has recently been discovered in New Zealand. A lot of quality directors, actors & actresses received their early starts with Alfred as a director-producer. He is regarded as the master of mystery and mayhem. Short story dramatizations and cold case files enacted on stage, show any arm-chair detective or rookie cop their foundation study questions; in visual context. The attributes of murder (alibi, corpse, forensics, motive, suspects, weapon, witnesses, etc.) are all studied. Sidereal time and real-time enactments, effected by historical happenings, show us it's been done before; nothing is original in crime; masterminds are rare and few. They do get caught. He should have been knighted. Stories of criminology, were judged by the detective 'looking for a sponsor'. Opinion: After reviewing only a few shows, it looks like he began with local drama clubs. He developed his cast and crew to be the best of the best. Text reviews have not been consulted – only his films.

    Step 1:   Radio presentation to create an interest in his productions.

    Step 2:   Sponsor introductions as the actor, director, etc. to back future presentations.

    Step 3:   Half hour presentations (with guest directors) while auditioning the film industry.

    Step 4:   One hour dramatization screening for film development later.

    Step 5:   His films now have quality players who know his direction and expectations for quality.

    genie ¹ Bear or Bull Price?canadamf

    The markets seem to be on a slide or correction. This should bother me because of the business cycle but I welcome this correction. Now, the equation is reversed to the bull, as it reaches its new low and I initiate a buy. The example i am using is used Orbite (Aluminum) Exploration; a new source for aluminous clay. It is listed on the Canadian exchange. If I buy at or near the high price-point (because of marketing or news) and the price slides ...  then it is reflects in the equation:  ( H – L ) / H * 100 = x % loss of portfolio. The new buy at the low price, far exceeds the loss from the high to the low, as proved by the equation: ( H – L ) / L * 100 = x % gain of portfolio. In other words, if I had of bought a stock at $4.00 and it slid to 11 cents, my percentage loss is: ($4.00 - .11) / $4.00 * 100 = 97.25% loss of portfolio. If I initiate a buy at the low price then, my percentage gain, on ledger and analysis, is reflected as:  ($4.00 - .11) / .11 * 100 = 3,536.4% gain of portfolio. ² Isn't arithmetic interesting?

    Therefore, the numbers speak for themselves as they move from the stock's bull to bear price and returns to the bull price. The bull and bear markets are better expressed in pricing of individual stocks; lowering stress caused by the media. Existentialism of the markets shows "Hey, you lose if you sell".

  • Violence in the Workplace

    Tiger6.jpg ¹

    Because of the violence associated with domestic quarrels, the workplace has come under scrutiny. Where the husband and wife (common law relationship) work together in the same company, there must be a separation to protect themselves and the worker. It is a general consensus that domestic violence has the root-cause of money problems. Carrying that root-cause to the workplace, escalates the problem further. Reasonable preventative measures would include one of the two spouses in job retention. Workplace romances will be watched carefully because they have a negative impact on job performance and productivity. But here's a note: eighty percent ( 80% ) of the cases before the MOL are obesity related. Fights over – make up!   

     

    In Ontario, Canada, it is now the law (Ministry of Labour 2010-03).

  • Economic Zones

    Micro Chip ¹

    One purpose of British/Canadian law is to employ the courts, by employing lawyers (educated by religion searching for the truth) meant to supply an income, to the courts they represent through their City Hall. Law enforcement officers cannot become lawyers, except in defending traffic tickets. The law also gives direction to soldiers in law enforcement who do not become lawyers unless if of the profession before entry (JAG).

    Talk about erroneous positions and negative comments concerning exploration or territorial economic-zone ² expansion restrictions? No wonder almost all politicians are lawyers.

    Here's another thought, a business that turns sour, up to a point, employed people legitimately. The government agency that closed it down should reinitiate, under the government (Crown) corporation banner, for the reason of employing people; now, with new direction. The blight has been removed with the cause and effect corrected. Business as usual, I would think.

    Also, if three-quarters of the women on welfare are unmarried with children, and further, if they cannot take in a border or live-in to supplement their living, then the courts need to define common-law as a form of marriage to allow survival for the family. Money is the servant.

    ² An economic zone is an ocean region surrounding a country's border. The United States leads the way of definition. It was a seven mile zone before the last World War but, then was expanded to 21 miles and then 200 miles. Most countries followed the US example but few can defend that territorial claim.

  • Hackers Alert !?!

    Hacking Facts:

    Even Big Business can't seem to keep common snoops out of their systems. How come? The British tabloids report in recent history, the personal details of thousands of people, have been stolen after hackers targeted a British games developer. Personal details of thousands of users, including names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth, passwords, IP addresses, gamer tags and biographies were snatched like candy. Even the world's largest loan agency was targeted by a sophisticated cyber-attack earlier this year, causing a very major security breach of its systems. It's a very important data protection principle that you shouldn't collect excessive information or keep it longer than is necessary. The problem persists worldwide for some reason.

    Temperal Time-Line Incursion

         According to the article, 'Evolutions in Cyber-War' by Chris Wood, under the by-line 'Casey Extraordinary Technology' @ www.CaseyResearch.com on May 21, 2011;

    • Chinese email account snooping occurred on political disidents using Google Panda.

    • 2005 - Hacker group UpLevel develops Zeus (also known as Zbot, PRG, Wsnpoem or Gorhax) as a Trojan horse stealing banking information (according to Wikipedia).

    • 2008 – Largest credit card fraud hacked into 100 million transactions at Heartland Payment Systems – millions in lawsuits follow.

    • 2010-03 - Spanish Mariposa 'botnet' found to have almost 13 million computers under control.

    • 2011-05 - Source code of Zeus published as a public domain.

         Well, instead of using peer-to-peer communications protocols and passing messages from machine to machine, a central 'hub and spoke system' could send a ElectroMotiveField to knock out the enemy's computer. Control would come to a halt and the opposing enemy could just walk in. The problem of course, is how to protect their own systems from their own cyber-attack? 

         Reading research has found the military's answer to this question in the non-fiction book, 'Future War Non-lethal Weapons in Twenty-first Century Warfare' by Col. J.B. Alexander, US Army (retired), 1999, Chapter Five, page 64 says, ... in the future, electronic pulse (EMP) weapons could be used to "fry the enemy's air-defence system". NATO is currently conducting research.

         A product review shows the use of the semi-precious element known as tourmaline. According to Xion Technologies (www.x-ion.org - on the package?),  tourmaline is a negative ion air producer that protects the air from the harmful effects of EMF. I use it and yes, the light pushed out by the screen does seem to hit a force-field containing the supposed danger of minor radiation. The small thumb sized attachments are used on the exterior of the electronic device. Another defence solution could also be found in the halogen molecule. It is said to have a natural force-field. I guess, we will have to wait for quantum electronics becaue Wikipedia could not describe this element as having any use. Patience.
