A Couple of Birds | One Stone - Epilogue

Team. The primary goal of this web history was outlining and starting an open-source project for a general-purpose controller architecture that could serve as a servlet, web-script, or common gateway process for rapid web application development, when using a type-II model-view-controller architecture. This was done after contacting Oracle's Project Management Office, as part of the JAVA Community Process (JCP), about getting mentorship as a specification lead on JAVA Specification Request (JSR) for such a product. The potential for such a component was discussed at JCP executive committee meeting in early 2014 and the feedback given was that JAVA Server Pages and JAVA Server Faces existed for simplifying servlet construction and this product was not immediately necessary. Yet, Ben Evan, a well-known JAVA champion, suggested that the author of this weblog try starting an open-source project, if it gets a following, Oracle might incorporate a general-purpose servlet in its offerings. In the meantime, they polled the developer community and started an MVC framework offering called Ozark, which has a locomotive engine for its logo.

With concerns about making a quality "well-exercised" JAVA archive for delivery with personal time constraints and realizing that many software developers, including neophytes, are not aware of their potential for developing "impactful" products, the author decided that he would collect some of the more meaning exerts from the history, edit them, and compile a CABOOSE do-it-yourself (DIY) text. This delivers the software, in a form that is as reliable and robust as the reader of the text implements it, plus the promised textbook. The book mentions Ozark, but does not include any of the passages from this web history that provide and example of integrating a CABOOSE-controller with it. 

The textbook much like the weblog, starts with a "Hello-type" sample program, and evolves it until in eight steps until we have a general-purpose web-controller in the form of an JAVA Enterprise Edition http-servlet.

The work is in the process of publishing and should be available on Amazon by August 15, 2018, written under the pen-name Abraham Vati James. If one reads the "appendix", An Unspoken, Unknown, and Uncommon History, one might discern why this name was chosen, with Abraham recorded as the father of nations, "Vati" translating as "father" and "equity" in a pair of Indo-European tongues, and "James Gosling", known as the originator of the first JAVA virtual machine.
The "appendix" might be discounted as "hogwash","poppycock", and "taradiddle", but read it carefully. The goal of it is not jumping any claims, patents or copyrights; it is first a thank you for "I AM THAT I AM" and His rich Mercy and Goodness that has followed the author through many difficult situations, second the fond thanks for the inspiration for producing a sketch of a few "award-winning" idea generated by the author's JAVA muse, a high-school sweet whose favorite movie line and gender neutral name produce the caricature Duke (of Earl), which is his title, and his little known first name, and finally, it is the an expression of the well-known fact, "truth is stranger than fiction".

The text can likely be found on Amazon, in a few days, with a search for "Abraham Vati James", which is a rather unique name. It cost less than most professional engineers spend of lunch at their favorite sandwich shop. It might be work a read.

This web history might be reaching an end of it journey; with a new adventure waiting around the bend where we can pick-up and focus on some of the concepts mentioned briefly herein and not included in the CABOOSE in JAVA by Abraham Vati James text.

Potential Future Goals:


  • We still must flesh out CABOOSE in the open-sourced LAMP and the proprietary Microsoft .NET CLI languages.
  • We must get a grasp on the Distinct Number Algorithm (DNA) Storage and the (CODECO) Compression and Decompression.
  • We have some key work that we must do on the Open VM.
  • We still must produce the "boostin" Houston Server as promised, which is a node-based kernel for grid processing, likely more practical and effective than HADOOP has been or will be. 
  • We must draft a system artifact trace-ability plan that was part of our early efforts with CABOOSE.
  • Also, we must examine how this procedure described early in this web history called the Miller-Kovarik Secondary Method might improve solutions for optimization problems in electronic computing and mathematics. This includes areas such as operations research and artificial intelligence.
  • We must draft a practical, extensible crestomathy, rosetta stone index for modern computing, based upon its primitive operations such as writing on standard output and standard error, reading on standard input, file, database, and networking operations, plus many of the elementary data transformation that can occur in a program, when modeled, in terms of Ps and Qs, pre-conditions and post-conditions, plus Ts, transformation-filters.
  • And, much, much, more... 
The author will point you in the direction of any new weblog work when it arises....

On Steep Compression.

Team. We have spoken in the past on this "CABOOSE plus computing idea" weblog about a simple data compression and decompression methodology called DNA ( Distinct Number Algorithm ) Storage. A letter was written the NSF strongly suggesting that they stop wasting money on researching storage techniques using deoxyribonucleic acid and adopt this simpler approach.

While driving this day, a more practical notion of annotating a file with stop symbols for decompression occurred. The file itself is a maker with unique patterns in it. One might take samples of a given size from random parts of a file.

If one had a megabyte that he were compressing, he could sample sixty-four eight byte span and store them. This would be half a kilobyte of information for uniquely identifying the decompressed image. If the compressed image, plus any metadata composed another half kilobyte, the final descriptor for the megabyte would consume a kilobyte.

If this megabyte were the fortieth one in a gigabyte, the kilobyte descriptor would be the fortieth in a compressed description of the gigabyte. Whose final size would be a megabyte. Then, this megabyte, an image of a gigabyte, could be made a kilobyte. The process becomes recursive. So, a reasonable challenge problem for a college computing class would be producing an algorithm, based on the intuition of DNA Storage, that placed a megabyte in a kilobyte. One would imagine that the "top-notch" engineers at Google could draft such a routine in an afternoon.

Weeks from the Presses. CABOOSE is here.

Team. Life became hectic last summer (2017) around this time 07.27.2017. Unhappy with management at Team Software's sister company, a resignation letter was given at this position, the primary one, and a secondary position was placed in a permanent state of limbo on the same day. Living life on financial roller-skates, instead of thick heels, that Maslow's triangle slowly eroded. Employment was found again this Spring and work on CABOOSE resumed. It has evolved. The prototype source and the JAVA archive will remain on-line. Those will be collected and placed in one convenient place. And, a link for a DIY CABOOSE text based on a synopsis of this web-history will be placed on-line. The goal is by mid-August, if work allows. It has been five plus twelve hours days each week.

Also, please forgive the web entry Apologetics Mine. It along with others has been permanently scrubbed. Some rather troubling experiences occurred at VUMC in September 1988, a potential cover for the death of a student-athlete in 1987 plus a medical assault. Plus, the way in which modern medicine has handled the situation is reprehensible. Although Earth, Wind, and Fire's song September is soul-stirring. It is a time of subconscious tension. It shall not be mentioned again in this web history.

Oh, by the way a confusion does marvels for erasing the memory. The pass-codes for this weblog were forgotten. It was unlocked after finding a single item, by chance, that held a security code for a web-host with a recovery e-mail. The point is, take is slowly at work and keep confusion at a minimum. It is costly for everyone.

On the Topic of Value; and Wise Management.

Rush. Rush. Rush. The birth place of the modern information age is the location of the old Gold Rush. Winding roads placed hastily as communities boomed and busted! The rush for wealth mostly likely cost men their lives; and, others simply left a region where they had sufficient resources for surviving, possibly beyond more than they could expect or dream.

And, the modern computing rush. What does it cost? It cost a contract with services such as ConstantContact, or similar, when samples of valid instructions for doing such, exist on many developer and tutorial sites across the WWW.

Best of all, these cost are minimal. The only detractor is that any Integrated Development Environments connected with the Internet can be monitor, via histories of usage data transmitted,or the possible (unknown-unapproved) transfer of projects. This includes the commercial products which require a fee.

It simply takes the wisdom of searching for something outside one's standard domain of business vocabularies. Learning the few keywords for basic input, output, string processing, numerical computation, and the proper tools for installing, compiling, and evolving the simple utilities needed for performing the same "android-role", or automaton of business function, that might be "tandemish" in its "24/7" accumulation of data, marketing tasks, or other vital role, is, as simple as, taking that extra-hour or so, started at 5:00 AM for a couple of years, so your business or "profit-ability" will exceed that of the "average" one.

So, slowing some, or possibly enjoying an unplanned week or so, which concludes with a swift pivot in technical or work direction, might be more profitable than working at a break-neck pace, unless you are driven by a project manager who will  not permit more than a three minute, lavatory-respite.

Unfortunately, some are that way! And, the saddest fact about modern software engineering teams, certain affiliations permit the rapid career advance of such.

Here is an adaptation a Christian Proverb, "Bob", says the wise time manager, "You are scheduled for your yearly fourteen days, and have fourteen from last year, that are unused, plus five unused personal day." And, spoken in the tone of a "true" businessman, "I'll tell you what, take the next four weeks, and work in a full-Friday every month for the rest of the year; I will make sure that personnel only records the unused time from last year."

This adaptation is a unique one, in that, excessive workdays, with over-flowing dustbins, full of one's lunch and rest period snacks, plus a small case of colas for "alertness" are costly. The increased person-hours of billable time are rapidly diminished by work-quality, employee-absenteeism, and attrition, plus the related cost in hiring, training, and retaining new staff members in a nightmare called an engineering team. This is for the corporation; For the machines ratcheting left and right, striking this key and that, communicating on network portal, phone, wired and wireless, do not the deserve a rest cycle, an oil replacement, and a complete wash and detail. Look, we are not Kenworths, Peterbilts, Freightliners, Contenentals, Trailways, or Greyhounds! We are not that or the "rear-wheel" drive V-8 Fords, first generations Hondas or Toyotas, or any other passenger vehicle with a reputation of reaching 325K+ worth of mileage as a standard-lifetime of a "well-maintained" vehicle in those categories. Plus, the last thing this world needs is more lerts!

This is not a reference about any "specific" personal experience; yet, if metal degrades, will not the tender structures of flesh.

Cracked! Fissured! Leaking! Sinking! Sagging! Red-Roof Rusted!

Team. Does this sound like your favorite in-line four cylinder? You know the one which helped you pay for college, when gasoline reached it's peak in the early millennium. Or, for some of us, it was a struggle paying the $1.63 at the Amoco on the corner of the loop which the "townies" would Scoupe in an early 1990s Hyundai bumping some West Coast rapper, while we all wasted more time than pursuing that costly education which we all still likely undervalue.

Does this sound like those coffee cans you found in your Depression-era grandparent's attic behind a steamer chest, boxes of rations, and old newspapers? You know the ones which had the wheat pennies, buffalo nickels, and other silver coins, plus the bills: ones, five, tens, and twenties from the nineteen thirties, forties, and fifties, and, let us not forget the certificates of stock for a fledgling American Telephone and Telegraph, General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and, of course, Studebaker. You know the coffee cans that let you retire at twenty-one. Yeah, those swags.

Such is the nature of the very foundation of modern computing, It is the equivalent of a new roof-line on the top of a very old structure. A modern remodeling of a very old amphitheatre, one, in which many tragedies, comedies, dramas, plus skits: improvisational, experimental, and fondly-frenetic-frenzied-frantic, played out. Some in front of small intimate audiences, such as that given by a troupe of senior citizen's rendition of a Broadway classic, in the vein of those Grand Olde Players' community productions.

Others, such as the joint revelation of the aggregation of the infinitesimals, those infinitely small units within a space, of one of more dimensions, that produces a measure of the area under a curve or volume with a bounded region of a surface. That joint revelation accompanied the tangential grasp of curvature and its normal in perpendicular juxtaposition. Those incidental insights which left one of the inclination that either one or each of Newton and Liebnitz both absconded with an apple scone, a draught of tea, and a draft of some conceptualization or another, one likely as old as the sands of distant shores.

Dramatic enough. Over-blown. Can a frivolous flourish be added! Maybe, it might be accompanied by a silky "pocket-square" and embroidered, floral, paisley, regimental four-in-hand, half or full Windor, or natty, knotted bow, possibly one of Mo's.

Yea, a tenuous trumping of triteness upon tin tinseled trumpets! A clear clownish "cleek" of clarions! That "wordsmithed" high note that causes cat squalls! That is the nature of mathematics.

It is often clouded and cloaked, with so many Merlinish smokes, mists, mirrors, and thin fish-lines puppeteering the formal logical deductions, reductions, and simplification, that little of any meaningful value filters out which deducts, reduces, or simplifies the "over-weaning and overbearing" nature of the "spirit of intellectual egoism" plaguing "mathematics".

Is that a pompous paradoxical parody perfect per a presumed paradisaical plane of pondering called a pensive propositional philosophic perfectimum of Peano? Yeah, Porky sp..sp..sp..spit it out! That is all folks!

In short simplicity, mathematicians often confuse themselves. Shrouding simple concepts in strange notations and over-exacting vocabularies, those within the world of mathematics have on many occasions left themselves as confused as a freshman learning assembler during the earliest days of computing degree programs. That "froshmore", who revisited a "link-edited" programming assignment devoid of any comments during the doldrums of a drunken summer session and asked, "What purpose does the label "xajr" serves", he, was steeped in baffling befuddlement.

With this stream on meaningless vacuous statements presumed factual and supporting some "hand-waving" propositions and penetrative profound premises that common-sense obviates, one should say, "Yeah, sound like a typical proof in some math class or another. The one that caused swelling in your tear ducts." And, your instructor believed that you were moved by the depth and elegance of his didactic dialogue. Did someone say Tylenol 4 and might we use the door?

Truth being, as stated in the last web-post, computing is incredibly new. Those mind-expanding feats, which bewilder the majority of us in this age, are the most immediately apparent results in a fledgling field. This infuriates some who are amazed at Merlin's seeming levitation act in "pneumatic platform-boots", especially when explained by one of those "monkeys" for whom it is said that such will destroy the profitability of the industry, if it becomes possible that they might work among its "geniuses". Yet, it never crosses one mind that this definition of "Napier, Jacques" is an implicit description of all who are not "well-versed" in modern computing, albeit spoken by a characteristic group, whether spoken with a Francish flair or Southern slur.

And, it should be emphasized that the collection of fallen fruit, although gourd-sized, is not an phenomenal feat. It might require renting a crane for collecting the resulting haul, mostly financial, but it does not necessitate hiring NASA or Space X so one might snag the produce of the top of this tree of man's knowledge.

But, the primary concept and goal in this message of sandwiched ideas is that the very foundation of modern computational theories that support electronic computing, the eons of mathematical thought, some lost in antiquity and clay pots buried in numerous region this world that have been raided in attempts at erasing many countries histories and legacies, is flawed and fallible. It needs a complete re-engineering run, with a mixture of greenfield insights. Yet, modern egos, economic liabilities, the "unwise" exaltation of men of this and past eras, sensibilities is the spirit of haughty misplaced malapropisms such as, "rationalism hath destroyed more economies and wrought unchecked campaigns of genocide that halteth naught with the dawn of a new millennium!", these in the most unending and unwieldy of fragment phraseology stay the horse-sense that says, "review of past landscapes is prudent in the avoidance of future pitfalls" Dem gators bight!

Pardon the "aquamarine" colloquialism, Dora! Ain't a 'thang' wrong with a swamming swim, onceth and a while!


When one builds on a foundation of sand, one cannot expect that the structure will stand the test of eternity. With such said, placing an organization's long-term future stability and growth on such would be unwise. It does not matter how well-packed the sand might be. It can shift! In fact, it will liquefy with a sufficient influx of groundwater. So, we shall compute electronic internationale; Lord willing and the creek does not rise! Pardon the "gatorism" from an American peninsula.

The CABOOSE shalt arrive; The Containers a Corrugated; An Engine drive

The CABOOSE shalt arrive with the canonical engineer in stripped grey overalls swinging a lighted lantern.

For a visualization enjoy! Every language has value, in the context of spoken human languages and the context-free grammars found among those in computing.

 Numerous web-history entries past, the mention of using various non-standard English terms in the area of modern computing. It simply suffers from a paucity of word for its primary concepts. This form of applied mathematics is relatively new. Having its first glimmers of theoretical work around1920. with the first electronic computer built circa 1932 by Atanasoff and Berry. This early computer could only calculate logarithms or certain trigonometric functions. It was not as flexible or powerful as the engineer's friend, the Hewlett-Packard 11C, programming stack machine that the author was blessed with, being the son of a physiology researcher.

And, the rapid grow of employment in computing did not occur until approximately 1965. In fact, some of the professors of computing in the early 1970s only had a bachelors and a few more had masters. A doctorate was not required for teaching at universities in this area. And, only recently has post-doctoral work been a means of partitioning the froth from the creme among computers.

This era in innovation is the equivalent of the stage in human history when men first began reliable mensuration techniques and began building. Concepts and creations such as keystones, cornerstones, shutters and latches amazed some and were the considered "secrets" of construction that many would fight for. This all seems silly now! And, the fight for many computing secrets these days are simply as silly.

A few years ago, about 1997, the author found himself working for a small businessman, who is absolutely clueless about computing. With the development of a small utility that could scour the web looking for "key-strings" such a electronic mail addresses and uniform resource locators, he and his half educated staff went "jerk-biszerk". It was a utility written in about forty-five minutes after searching the JAVA API reference. And, comparable "nuggets" of functionality can be found scattered all over the WWW, if one looks for them. They are not the same as Easter eggs, as numerous as they are. Ultimately, one finds on the NET, the very focus of their pursuits. Unfortunately, the result of a social label that "connotes" vulnerability and lessened credibility, the author found himself forced in a hospital setting. medicated until he forgot what could be found in a web-search taking less than the average "human-reaction" time, and restarting his work-life over once again.

The main message is this. These are the very early days of electronic computing. What might occur in 2050 or 3015 could astound beyond what we could conceive. So, do not get in deadly fights of what has "petty value".

As for CABOOSE, its development path is recorded in this history of months. It will be a great accomplishment among men, if they can manage controlling those "sinister" urges that arise within them.

And, for those with the Niagra flowing from the apartment above, the trifling, penny-any software company that was a sister organization for the "office cleaning service" for which the author worked in hopes of sharing the distinct number algorithm for off-line compression, the very one that kept adjusting his work schedule around his other better paying part-time assignment, and those who would fight over something as abundant as flint, such is possible if you simply type, "Mary Shaw, interpreter pattern, Software Engineering, command shells, tutorial samples in JAVA", and press the widget on the Google search page. At least, this is the starting point. Yet, unlike most of those who vex me, you would likely be intelligent enough that you would search further if your first try did not work.

In short, you would be the non-typical student.

Kick' Em In the Biscuits - 156M ($US) - For Those of the Lowest Common Denominator

Math Challenge class of the late 1970s brought about an observation while learning about the Highest Common Factor (HCF). This insight that a series of letters, grouped in unique sequences on a chalkboard such as sentences, mapped with a set of primitive whole numbers, could be "sifted" producing lists of common components betwixt that corresponding sentences. Well,

ABCD
ACED
ABD

where

A - 3
B - 5
C - 7
D - 9
E - 11

forms

3*5*7*9
3*7*11*9
3*5*9

Visual inspection of the letters shows that AD are the common alphabets.
Multiplying the expressions below "forms" and then finding the Highest Common Factor produces
twenty-seven or "3*9". So, using mathematics lets a computer perform the same task a human would with visual inspection.

My instructor, as with all mathematicians, likely structured a thought problem based upon this. This was a simple fundamental fact, HCF, learned by most third of fourth graders in my tax district of this public schools system in the 1970s. This class of problems has numerous manifestations. One is the planar Kn problem found in Graph Theory. It is also called the clique, complete, or komplaet graph problem. It only is a thought problem for those students of mathematics whom enjoy working on the mathematical equivalent of a 12-piece jigsaw puzzle with a rendering of a kaleidoscope on it.

It looks complicated, but is so incredibly "simple-in-design" that it is "solve-able" by children who can see past the confusion. Such problems where called "heuristics" in dictionaries from the mid-1960. The definition is somewhat different, based upon usage, these days. Much like, that favorite example that this author always relies on, which is the term, "rationalization". A word, that was defined as "reasoning with the correct logical rules and deducing an acceptable conclusion from reasonable premises.", during the early 1900s, this day connotes "dreaming up some answer that fits one's own peculiar personal preferences, gross immaturity, and fragile, silly, and childish emotions."

The level of overlap that arises when finding multidimensional complete sub-graphs within a planar graph might be size-able. With the introduction of non-planarity and non-simplicity, this grows by bound and leaps, which branching cannot contain. Yet, the proper algorithm, designed correctly, via Manna and Meyer, can produce a Halt-able result, if these sub-cliques are present, although a mental girdle might burst! Albeit, the definition of any mathematical object is infinitely extensible on the eastern side of the Atlantic, extendable among those in the States, and an matter of the obvious world-wide.

It has been rumored by some that a solution for this problem is not obtainable. Well, that might motive students, with that "vein of anti-social behavior" found among nearly every modern college student, so they spend time outside class searching for a solution. What is the original definition of heuristic?

In terms of "Highest Common Factor", life has taught that one and only One exist, although it might have numerous positives facets. Memories of that classroom with the teacher and a single solitary student with whom the author was "pitted" in a intellectual competition, that would determine rankings between "representative samples" of the student population during the early days of integration. Before the conclusion of the lesson, the term HCF, which was correlating in my those with the notion of a Creator, became GCF, Greatest Common Factor, it seemed the the author's classmate and him thought in unison, while in this battle of mathematical learning, "We are all human!" and, finally, before the placement of chalk in a silver tray along with a grey eraser, the teacher was calling this concept the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD), which she told us was the HCF only forty-five minutes earlier, and we concluded was the GCF, and with a seeming shared cognition, the author's competitor and himself concluded that the battle in the world of America's adult was, primarily, about intellect and wealth. Call a sense, not necessarily common, but one that a old blue hound could feel.

The author's intuition tells him that such might have been the topic of a "show-and-tell" report. It is a very sad and highly noticeable fact, when students present work that simply could not be their own. While teaching, the author has seen numerous reused works, occasionally, well-revised, when students who had "help" from another teacher. Stop! Pause! Did the ideas clique?

The author taught one class at a community college that art of a rewrite, not a blatant plagiarism. One that would not be detected by the "Turn-it-In"; however, under the strict regulations of "plagiarism" would be such. Forgive this next statement, yet, being nearly half a century old, and seeing the non-stop dysfunction in academics, the author can only conclude what he has heard his numerous "colleagues" say about their classes, students are so incredibly stupid that most do not master the art of "academic dishonesty", although they have attended school for over twelve years. And, considering that many of my "American colleagues" might have been the same as those they called "stupid", the author can only wonder what demeaning statements were made about him, when was not around.

And, rewriting is quite a valuable skill, and with the theatre screen within everyone's mind, original works a pitter-patter beyond a "wise copycat".

Now, Monsieur Tidwell,

Here is your assignment. Apply the same rigorous effort which made you a great media darling, endorsement king, and a number on a ring of fame.

All of the answer are not in the following. Yet, if you have put in the reps, performed the drills, and not betrayed yourself,  a solution is a flexed and finessed move away from spinning around a much larger, powerful, and faster opponent. Can you snag a screen for a one hundred and three yard scamper. That is an outlier of a statistic.

With this said,

Form a random stream of numbers between one and ninety-nine.....

Form a corresponding stream of the first streams synthetic of theoretical average (1+99) * 0.5 or 50.

C++ class, circa, the Fall of 2000, do you know see the "hidden" rational in (low+high)*0.5. It is one of the many rough estimates of a mean. In fact, it could be considered a "perfect,theoretical" measurement of such, when describing a "perfect" sub-sequence of random values.

Take a complete moving average of the first stream.

Take a complete moving average of the second stream.

Then apply that simply rule learnt in early, elementary science classes.

Theoretical Stream minus Actual Stream  = Measured Error

This results is  "rough" yet "very smooth" description of those characteristics of seasonality, shock, and the intermediary effects described by the ARIMA model, and its various flavors. With some "well-coded" optimization routine, possibly, an implementation of the S-cubed, statistical search method, also called the Miller-Kovarik Method, augmented by Sharpe's Imbalance for addressing certain ration expressions, one might become a successful forecastor!

Yet, what is the worth of a windfall of wealth. It will bring "friends" whom you wish you had never met! Temptations that might leave one with the worst addictions. Only so, those "fairweather friends" who blows in one's life with the every new dollar, paycheck, or potential for profit, can exert some
control over the bounty which you might have gained. Trust me! The potential for a Div-I athletic scholarship, outspoken inventiveness, honorable-mention in many national high-school science competitions, and the type of American Greed that the producers of the cable series with the same name would "blush" at portraying in the limelight hours of closed circuit programming. Egad! I got!

And, the great businessmen within American who have graduated from the finest institutions, along with the last ten generations of their families, plus high a management staff from the same, have never been wise enough that they would "stick the whole darn thang in the ground" when planting fruits, such as apples, pears, oranges, and etc. Were they afraid of fruit the size of gourds? I got!
These simple facts have been known about biological matters, since the days on Mendeleev. And, every freshman biology class in this public school district learned that the fruit around a cluster of seeds is the nourishment of which they feed while maturing in the soil. Genius trumped by greed!

Why might many starve? That old philosophy..This is the way it has been always done...It works...And, we must produce at least n metric tons of pears before the end of this season...We do not have time for these strange theoretical notions from some outsider.....

Greed...would you really want 156M($US)? The numerous calls from strangers. The fond letters from individuals whom "ain't never cared".. "remember when they etched that indelible idea on the forefront of your mind"..."as a man thinketh"...

Remember that old childhood game among young rabble-rousers and rough-houser, "kill the man with the ball"...It is a rugby-ish game played by children with sole-purpose of teaching aggression.

And, being the descendant of an executive manager among the largest social service organization in the Midwest and under the United Way umbrella, if you gave a charity all that you won and only kept enough for a modest life-style in a pre-fab home on an acre in the country with a truck-patch, a few fruit trees, and basic transportation, until one was about eighty, the directors and such who might not be the true owner(s) would take the largest portion and those for whom they beg the government dole and only toss a minuscule portion, they would be forever in that abysmal state that should have been escaped decades ago. Some situations never improve. This is not necessary health, including addictions and behavioral problems, or the financial troubles which most considered co-symptoms; it is the heart of capitalist competition, spawned when avarice met aggression, and, the "honorable sport" of "we will all play our role" in improving a "not-so-perfect" world community.

Remember those relatively new notions in a burgeoning field of "software engineering". Project deliverable cycles are iterative and optimizing. Well, forgive this "possible blasphemous sounding notion", many ancient scriptural documents, some who lack texts which they internal reference such as Enosh, are complete in thought and teaching, plus represent early "social engineering" documents.

Yet, with all marvelous dreams of "systematically refining" this world. Do not misinterpret these statement the Paraclete works wonders. Yet, most never learn of those teachings, which are claimed as the very foundation of their nation. And, misguided nationalism has caused more conflict during this and previous centuries, that Churchill was famous in saying, "In Our Time" with a promise of peace during the turbulent years of the National Socialist advance in Western Europe. And, old Hemingway with a style some called terse and other contrived and simple, wrote a text by the same name, that many high-school students have read. "Peace" is every child's dream when entering this world, especially when we reach an age that we see its "ugly" imperfection and philosophical-schisms. And, peace is a promised fruit produced by the Paraclete.

Those who know history can make the implicit connections.

Let us spin a yarn that a toddler might enjoy. Along the lines of The Great Time Machine written around the end of the 19th Century, a person creates the equivalent of space-time translation and omnipotence. He carries this with him in his vest-pocket, in the form a golden-watch on a chain. He travels throughout all of Earth's history, correcting the turbulent events, in hopes that past times, the present, and future might have a stable peace. And, the violent among us would be exterminated from the face of the Earth. Yet, this watch, his means of travel and eradicating violence, is taken, by one who seeks power and wealth, only. And, like the fields of psychology, medicine, social-work, the teaching of organized faith, and others whose foundations are cemented in the common dream of harmony, peace, and pervasive health, someone who is only living for this life and it's immediate pleasures harm others simply for profit.

So, some dream of a one hundred and fifty years of the "vigorous, vital, and vibrant" life of youthful recklessness, and others are rather elated with one hundred and fifty years of blessing in the time that the holder of time and chance allots, for he knows not only the first landing of a dreidel, or any lot, and every one that follows.

By the way, if you have not forgotten your simple assignment, with a partial solution, you might consider disconnecting the terrestrial area network, before forecasting your future wealth.

Anyone at Verizon have a Excel document which maps an AI-based measure described as a 4-bit number that forecasts short and mid-term moves of aggregate random data. Hello, NASDAQ! Slappy Squirrel. It was snagged around late July or August of 2011 while in the shadow of the Yahoo!, Apple, and Oracle University headquarters. Plus, a walk from the Spanish Villa and palm trees of Northern California's best kept secret, ruby red guava puree!

Mr. V, keep it; it is chump change!

Once again, if any finite addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is possible between any pair of whole numbers from [negative-infinity....positive-infinity]. Then, any combinations of such operations are, and any mathematical question posed should be solvable by the properly chosen "groupings and partitions of the same operations". In fact, a little thought suggests that all mathematical questions are answerable with careful consideration and a novel, clever, Matthew 17:20;19:26;Mar 10:27;Luk 1:37;Luk 18:27;Heb 6:18;Heb 11:6 [KJV] child-like faith that with One who never fails, any task is accomplish-able.

As the many Nimrods in history prance around, boast about all that they have done, and the many impossible accomplishments realized through their own strength, please enjoy these size-thirteens. They could fit "many-a-folk" whom the author has known and those who have only heard what their ears itch for, in an incomplete knowledge of one whom they would curse with the most "wicked" intentions, simply as a result of his lineage, as taught by their parents since the earliest institutions of this nation were founded, built upon stratified rewards and false beliefs of deserved "status" arising from one's physical heritage alone. So, Mary Lee that appellation of  Nimrod bestowed upon me circa 1987 for ideas which could not have sprung from a high-school student, the author must say with the full-respect given a person with your status, it was not deserved along with any other rebukes. And, from this "simple-mind" who is constantly admonished, in these years, that so many problems would not have occurred, if he was wise enough the he would "shut his mouth" and do what he was told in this public school forum. If someone, accepted the imperative, "call back around the time for the Sunday Matinee; The late night news has ended; this not the time for a movie" in March of that year, "humble-pie" would not have been served on that Thanksgivings near a cabinet of leaded glass. It was certainly less tasty than the cup of cold-blooded caffeine rich cup of coffee served after avoiding a cup of warm tea at that same dinner table, the day before.

So, if the day after ever comes, remember as an index finger points just outside one's peripheral vision, what type of "fool" would fall for "...always number one."....

Forgive the typos, the author might revise this draft in a book written for his sole pleasure, seeing that not a single person is interested in reading about the bazaar-intersection of recreational mathematics, computing history, the misuse of knowledge for unchecked financial gain resulting in a portion of this world's turmoil, and the author's perspective of the post civil right struggle in a country where such was supposedly resolved in 1865.

Do not hurt one's self in a quest for something that never satisfies.

P.S. The author is more dandy, foppish, and dapper in a plaid, three-button, POLO 34 rims, a broadcloth shirt with a spread-collar, and a 4-inch one-dot chocolate kravate with white polka-dots, and Bluchers. He was born with the large almond-coloured honker!
