All this talk of a sequel...how about a prequel??!!
A forum of discussions about the prospects of a Blade Runner remake, prequel, or sequel.
From time to time allmost any BR fan will bring up weather or not they would like to see a sequel to our fave film ever be made..but i propose another perhaps more intrigueing idea...a prequel. As w/the first SW film everytime i watch BR i get the feeling of an enormous back story waiting to be told. SW fans are getting that in the form of the new trilogy...what about us BR fans though? Its only a thought...honestly i think sequels/prequels more often than not ruin the integrity of the original film(Alien,Godfather,Terminator being obvious exceptions)
Good point, but I see a problem.
Blade Runner was a movie about issues. The characters developed. Deckard developed (from what I percieved atleast, only seen the movie three times thus far).
If a prequal was made then the entire theme of the first movie would be lost againa s the characters would be undeveloped and shallow in comparison to the characters in the original.

Yes? No? what do you guys think??

Paul
When it comes to Deck I agree but not when it comes to the (other?) replicants. Many interesting questions are never answered in the movie.

"I want more life, fucker!" But why? The replicants' hunger for more life is fascinating but never really explained. Just to say it's a question of simple survival insticts is a shallow explanation in my opinion. At least in such a complex movie as BR. What triggered it?

Why do the reps have empathy? The andys in DADOES don't give a damn about each other but the replicants in Roy's group do. Roy and Pris seem to really love each other and both Roy and Leon go bezerk when Pris and Zhora gets killed. They seem to be very empathic after all. Why is that Leon?

And finally why is Zhora (one of my favourite characters) independent from the rest of the group? An intriguing amazon indeed.

Replicants have more fun!
Well, I personally would say that the reason that in the movie the replicants were emphatic (is that a word??) woud be because of the image that the replicants are more humane then the actual humans in the film. My question (sorry for repeating it for it is on my other topic, but ties into this) is that how can we be sure that the replicants *are* so much more emphatic than humans when the only human looked at in depth is Deckard (assuming he even *is* human)?

Paul
Hello all! I'm new! Just rode into town and everything. <G>
Yes, as I said in the general discussion board earlier today, I'm thinking of writing such a story. I think that the Replicants showed much more empathy than any of the humans did, and that this was one of the points of the film---the humans were dehumanized, and the replicants were discovering all of the things that humanity (at least, those humans living in LA) were taking for granted. The image that came to mind was of Roy and Pris falling for each other, shortly before Blade Runner takes place---perhaps a year or even less---after which Roy kills her "owner" so that they can be together. Bryant said that "Pleasure models" like Pris were standard for Offworld Millitary Top Brass--- perhaps Pris's "owner" was one of Roy's commanders? I can see Roy as having disturbed his human "Superiors" with his wit and intellect. One thing I'm wondering---where did Roy read all that poetry? I don't think that anyone in the Tyrell co. would have programmed what they'd intended to be a remorseless killing machine/cannon fodder with such knowledge. Who would have showed it to him? Was there maybe at least one human who recognized Roy as a fellow sentient being and introduced it to him?
I think that Roy was just a phenomenon who (literally and figuratively) just sort of "got away from them."
What do you think?
Glad to be here,
---Skooter.
Skooter, what I'm asking is that, although humans definitely dehumanised, are there enough examples of this dehumanisation to sustain the conclusion which you have come to?

Human characters which have more that 1 conversation in the movie: Deckard (possibly) Tyrell (Possibly) Gaff, Bryant and Holden.

Humans looked into in any depth at all (dehumanised or otherwise): Deckard, Gaff (slightly)

Replicants in the movie: Roy, Pris, Zhora, Rachel, Leon

Replicants looked into in any depth at all (Dehumanised or otherwise): Roy, Pris, Rachel, Leon.

anyone notice a discrepancy here??? Scott seems determined to make us believe his ideas of dehumanised humanity..... Has he given us enough evidence to make a decision?????

Welcome Skooter! Judging from what you've been posting here and on the general discussion board it's EXACTLY the prequel I'd love to see! It's almost weird, like you've been reading my mind. I think it ties in perfectly with the questions I've mentioned above. Make sure to keep me updated on this. I can't wait to read it, man!

And Paul G, I see your point now. When it comes to replicant empathy there's not really any human empathy to compare with in the movie. I've never really thought about it before. A disturbing thought. But then again, I think this confusion correspondes pretty well with PKD's original purpose with "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?": to provoce us to ask the question "What is human and what is not?"
Replicants have more fun!
Skooter, maybe you should consider exploring some human emotions in your prequel to combat this discrepincy? (pardon spelling)

Sir Random Rep,
I wonder how likely this is, seeing as in PKDs book the replicants had no emotion.... Has Ridley Scott made a role reversal in the movie, as human characters have no emotion whilst the replicants make us feel guilty with their perfection *of* emotion? Is this a discrepancy seeing as we are told that the replicants have no emotions by Bryant in the movie???

Paul

[ This Message was edited by: Paul G on 2001-10-09 08:19 ]
Paul G, I'm not really sure I understand what you mean. (English is btw not my mother tongue.)

I think you're right about the role reversal. In PKD's novel human beings represent emotional chaos and androids emotional chill. In Scott's movie all human beings are rather numb and all replicants quite alive (perhaps with the exception of Leon). I'm not sure what you mean when you say replicants make us feel guilty with their perfection of emotion though.

As I recall, Bryant never says replicants lack emotions. As they are completely sentient beings they may develope emotions. That's why they have a four year lifespan limit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Replicants have more fun!
Rep:
What I mean about the guilt is that Scott seems to want us to feel bad about not living up to the replicants' emotional depth. The human in the movie is shallow and bitter whilst the replicants lust for life. Scott seems to be trying to make the argument one sided.

Bryant doesn't say the replicants have no emotions, but does imply it saying that the replicants were identical to humans in every way but their emotions, as well as saying that the developers were worried that the replicants would develope emotions.... I personally assumed this meant that they began with none?

Personally I think that perhaps Scott is trying to pursue an avenue of human self-loathing previously exhibeted by William Golding in "Lord Of The Files". Scott seems to be a lobbyist for mans intrinsic evil. Is this intentional, and if so only part of the Noir category???
Bryant: "They were designed to copy humans in every way, except thier emotions. But the designers reckoned that after a few years they might develop their own emotional responses. Oh, hate, love, fear, anger, envy. So they built in a fail-safe device."

Deckard: "Which is what?"

Bryant: "Four-year life span."

My understanding is that Replicants do experience emotions/feelings from 'day one' but don't have the life-experiences of normal adult humans to know how to respond rationally to their feelings.

The four-year life span was put in to cut their lives short before they fully developed their 'emotional reponses' - personally, I don't see how that could help, but it may explain the replicants extreme violence and general disregard for life. Of course the other explanation of the four-year lifespan is one of commerce - if you manufacture something that lasts forever you'll saturate the market and go out of business, therefore build in a expiry date and your customers are forced to return every four years.

Rachel was different - they gave her Tyrell's niece's memories to help her form rational responses to her emotions. This may have been in response to the behaviour shown by the current Nexus6 replicants - perhaps Rachel was the beta test version of Nexus7.

Just a few personal thoughts...

Deck, thanx for sorting things out. And I think you're right about memory implants - they are most probably a response to inadequate Nexus-6 behaviour. The bloody Off-world mutiny...

Paul, I see what you mean now. I agree that Scott is a "lobbyist for man's intrinsic evil" in Blade Runner (as well as Alien), but I'm not sure about his other movies.

I think Scott's misanthrophy in BR might have something to do with the fact that Scott lost a brother prior to filming BR. On the other hand, Scott's a stylistic master so it might simply be a tribute to film noir...

Replicants have more fun!
Deck: Could the 4 year span maybe be a device creaed by Scott to achieve two major points in the movie: 1) To give the replicants a reason to bloody well be on earth, and 2) to give humans yet another point against their humanity in the same way that Pris is described by Bryant as a "Basic Pleasue Model". I agree that they probably feel emotions but would originate with no preconcieved ideas of them, like a species discovering and developing emotions for the first time, a time which would in all likelyhood would have an extremist affect upon all that occurs. Emotions would be heightened because of inexperiance. Even so, surely the emotions would differ from humanity, because what is there present to make them the same? Human identity and emotion are the product of thousands of years of evolution. Humans did not always have the same emotional mind-set that we do today. Surely replicant emotion would be a more primitive derivitive if, like you say, it does start from when they were create.
You're opinion???

Rep: Although Scott lost his brother, would you say that this would have affected Alien as well? Assume for a second that it wasn't for Noir..... could Scott be attempting to manipulate us so that we feel this loathing and the fact that Deckard is the sole human (besideds Sebastion who isn't looked into as much emotionally as with sympathy ((his opinions/drive are never truly revealed IMHO)) delved into emotionally all to convince us of this point. Are we being manipulated????

*mumbles about bad grades in essays on this movie and overresearching topics*

Paul G
I'd like to put in my 2 cents worth if I may.In response to pkd_chris' original post here,I'd like to say:

I agree that films can lose their integrity with the addition of sequels, and I really believe most fans of BR don't want a prequel/sequel in any way,shape,or form."Side"quels,on the other hand,could retain integrity and give us more of what it is we crave-the BR universe.(SOLDIER w/ Kurt Russell is an example/attempt at this - on TBS many times this month BTW)All of this has been discussed in earlier posts so I don't want to get too long-winded.

ALIEN,The Godfather,and Terminator all had the attention redirected away from them by their sequels IMHO.Although the sequels were good, they were'nt as stylish as the originals...and they were'nt as good.The originals were jaw-dropping when released.Let's say Aliens was kewl, but did'nt affect me like ALIEN did in 1979 at all.

 Also...to address Paul G in the previous post - J.F.Sebastion was in fact a rather complex character since he had "accellerated decrepitude", as Pris so aptly put it.He was aging very fast, not unlike the Reps who were living on "borrowed time", as well.Just something to think about.Thanx people
P.S. Wasn't Sebastion originally written for the story as a Rep?

A US senator has made a powerful speech blaming politicians for the country's latest school massacre.
Nikolas Cruz, 19, allegedly stormed his former high school in south Florida on Wednesday and opened fire on students and teachers, killing 17 people and injuring at least 14 others.
Reacting to the mass shooting on Wednesday, Democratic senator Chris Murphy said "it's time for Congress to get off its ass and do something" about gun violence in the US.
"This happens nowhere else other than the United States of America," Senator Murphy said.
AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.
"This epidemic of mass slaughter, this scourge of school shooting after school shooting, it only happens here not because of coincidence, not because of bad luck, but as a consequence of our inaction.
"We are responsible for a level of mass atrocity that happens in this country with zero parallel anywhere else.
"As a parent, it scares me to death that this body doesn't take seriously the safety of my children and it seems like a lot of parents in south Florida are going to be asking that same question later today."
Senator Murphy is a representative for Connecticut, which was the scene of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which saw 20-year-old Adam Lanza shoot and kill 20 young students and six adult staff in 2012. He has been a strong advocate for gun control since that atrocity, but the US congress has yet to enact any laws that have curbed school gun violence.
Wednesday's incident at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was the 18th shooting at a US school this year. And it's not even March.
Research by gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety shows that there have been nearly 300 school shootings in the US since 2013, an average of about one per week.

Things You Should Pay Attention To When Buying Cat Treats
Cat treats play an important role in the daily food intake of your cat. Hence, just as you would closely look at the nutrient content in their usual food, be sure to check the back of cat treat packages as well.
First and foremost, choose treats that are low in salt and sodium. Salt can be very harmful to your cat and might cause it to get sick or gain extra weight. You can also know about the high salt content in their diet by the amount of urine they pass every day. If your cat is drinking a lot of water or is urinating more than usual, it is a sign of high salt intake.
Therefore, check the diet again. Treats have many useful nutrients and minerals with the main flavor i.e., chicken or salmon. Ensure that your cat is not allergic to any of the ingredients.
If your cat has specific problems, i.e., oral problems, hairball problems, there are cat treats that focus on these specifically so you can choose the treat according to your cat's needs. Make sure that your treat ingredients match those of the dry and wet food that you are giving your cat.
All the food a cat eats in a day should have the same nutritional guidelines. Additionally, choose treats according to your cat's weight and breed as well. Also, different cat treats have different texture and sizes.
Pay close attention to what your cat prefers and choose the treat according to that. Look at the ingredient list to see how healthy the treat is.
Furthermore, the calories in each treat should also be paid close attention to as owners tend to overload on cat treats because cats love them so much and if the calorie level is high, it might lead to weight gain. It is always advised to seek a vet's approval or try a small amount of the food first to make sure that it is suitable for your cat and also so you don't waste money.
Last but not least, you can make your own cat treats as well, which is always a better option as you know the ingredients and they are chemical and additives free.
How To Give Your Cat Treats
It is always a good idea to reward your cat with a tasty treat whenever it does something new or doesn't do anything it's not supposed to do. But the main key is moderation. Cats nowadays are overweight. Obesity is a huge problem but nothing that can't be fixed.
Hence, it is important only to give treats moderately and make sure that the treat you're giving your cat is healthy and is low in calories. Treats should not be given more than 10% of the daily food intake. The first step to giving your cat treats is choosing the right one.
Making the treat yourself at home is the best option. The next step is to decide when to give your cat the treat. Treats should not be given more than three times a week. As treats are extremely tasty and will leave your cat craving and asking for more.
Feeding it more than usual will make your cat avoid its actual food. And want the treat instead.
Give your cat a treat to reward it for positive behavior i.e., when it uses the litter or comes to you when you call out its name. Make sure you give your cat the treat right after it does something good as cats have a very short attention span. It will not know what the treat is for if you wait too long.
Frequently repeating this behavior will make your cat accustomed to getting the treat for doing what it does, and this will make it want to do it more to get the treat. If you are giving your cat more treats than usual, cut back on the dry or wet food, it is eating to compensate for the increase. Whether your cat is a born domestic or you rescued it from the wild, it has the instinct of hunting in its DNA.
You can use treats as an instrument to help them explore this gene better. Also, it can be a fun exercise for your cat. There are numerous ways you can do this. Hide the treat somewhere and hint your cat to look for it.
You can also attach the treat at the end of a string and move it around for your cat to watch it. Food puzzles can also be used to encourage your cat to work on its skills and figuring out how to get the treat out of the puzzle.
Treats can also be used as a way to get your cat to eat medicine. You can wrap the treat around the pill and get your cat to consume it. It won't even know the difference.
Human Food Is Not Healthy For Cats
It is a wild misconception that table scraps can be given to your cat. It is a big no. Human food is not good for your cat. It may be the easiest to obtain and feel okay at the moment, but it will cause your cat health problems. Many cats are lactose intolerant. Feeding it cow's milk, thinking it might be a good treat will cause the lactose intolerance to come into action.
It will hence cause problems like feline diarrhea. Chocolate is the first idea for a treat that might come to your mind, but it is one of the worst things you can give your cat. Chocolate can be very harmful to cats. Other treats that are harmful to cats include onions, garlic, and shallot.
Tuna is also one of the foods you should keep away from your cat as much as possible. Human tuna is different from cat tuna. Human tuna is high in polyunsaturated fats. Cats, when they eat human tuna, develop problems like yellow fat disease.
Also, raisins, citrus fruits, tomatoes, and some nuts are also harmful for cats. Other foods that contain a lot of salt and fat should not be given to your cat. These include cured meats, pork, bacon, and ham.
Excess salt consumption can be observed by your cat being more dehydrated than usual and urinating more. The additional sauces and dressings at the side that we add to our food is also bad for the cat.
They contain spices and salt that your cat should not be eating at all.
Apart from human food being harmful to cats, giving them table scraps as a treat also encourages the concept of begging for treats.
Giving them a bite or two when you sit at the table would make your cat used to this practice, and it will come to the table as soon as dinner is served.
Nobody wants their cat meowing and rubbing against your leg when you are trying to have a nice mean at the table with your family. Hence, avoid encouraging this habit to your cat.
Cat Oral Health
There are numerous treats out there that help your cat have fresh breath and teeth without plague or tartar. Along with treats, dry food also helps to keep your feline's teeth clean to some extent. The main practice you can do is clean your cat's teeth regularly and between vet visits.
Use small toothbrushes or teeth cleaning equipment from the vet. Cats above the age of three have a high chance of having bad teeth and hence, oral problems. Dental problems come with pain in the mouth, excess drooling, and having difficulty eating. The problem starts with the teeth but spreads to other parts fairly quickly.
Cat owners fail to provide their cats with sufficient oral care as it is not seen as a serious problem. But bacteria do not stay in one place. They might accumulate in the teeth due to the presence of leftover bits and pieces.
And then make their way down the bloodstream and affect vital organs of the cat. These include the heart, kidneys, and liver of that cat.
This problem sounds rare but is actually very common.Hence, it is important that owners take special care of their pet's dental health. There are many ways in which this can be done.
First and foremost, having regular appointments with the vet to clean the teeth and scaling will help you get a clean slate. Also, getting checkups will help too. Dental care should also be a main priority at home. Some cats might not be fond of brushing, and their temperament might not allow the owners to clean them sufficiently; hence, it is important to build-up to the brushing.
Begin by touching near the mouth to make your cat feel comfortable about the action. Make your way to its teeth by slightly pulling up his lip. Touch his teeth to make it used to the feeling. Ensure that your cat is calm and happy throughout the procedure so that it doesn't mind this type of contact.
Repeat this procedure several times a week to make your cat grow accustomed to it. Try the action with a toothbrush. Some cats grow scared of the toothbrush so instead, use other instruments. Dental wipes and gauze pads are available that make the process a whole lot easier and convenient. Concerning the toothpaste, do not use human toothpaste. Use a cat toothpaste for cleaning.
If you do not have that or want to get your cat used to it using something else, then simple water would also help. Cleaning with water is better than no cleaning at all. If your cat is not willing to let you brush its teeth or go anywhere near it, you can use other procedures. Like the oral rinse, ask your vet if it is a suitable choice for your cat. The oral rinse helps flush out harmful bacteria from the mouth that might accumulate there.
Also, there are many dental toys out there that would help you keep your cat's teeth clean and healthy. They contain enzymes that reduce plaque and tartar.
You can make your cat's life a whole lot comfortable if you just take a little time to take special care of its dental health.
Healthy Cat Treats
Ever since the start of time, cats have been known to need protein. And that still stands today. Giving small pieces of meat as a treat is always a great idea, and your cat will love it. Cats require an amino acid that is present in the protein.
Hence, it is important that you give them meat, whether as daily food or treats. Dry liver also contains protein that can be given in moderation to your pet. While some cats prefer small pieces of lean meat as a treat, others can be given some of their kibble.
Taking a small amount of their cat food and putting it aside and given it to them as treats throughout the day will result in your cat gaining fewer calories. But make sure that every individual in the house knows about this practice as it is very easy to go overload with kibble as their treat.
Along with dry kibble, wet food is also a great idea to reward your cat with as a treat. As wet food is easier to chew and swallow and is also available in more flavors than dry food, it is preferred by cats worldwide.What can be a better idea than giving them their favorite food as a treat?
There are always packaged treats available in the supermarket.They are easier to obtain, and you do not have to spend time preparing treats. You can use this time to strengthen your bond with your cat instead.
Many cat owners prefer to prepare their own treats at home fearing that commercial treats contain chemical and additives and might be harmful to the cat's well-being, but it is not always true. Every cat requires different kinds of food so it is a good idea to check with your vet about what kind of treats you can give your cat.
And you can always make your own treats at home. Last but not least, food is not the only way you can treat your cat. Showing a little affection i.e., a stroke on the fur will serve as a great reward for doing something good or just showing them how much you love them.
Homemade Cat Treats
There are many different types of cat treats you can prepare at home.
For example, tuna and catnip croutons are small and crunchy for your cat. You can also cook a healthy mix of organic spinach and chicken. We added a delicious recipe that you can follow to give your cat a wonderful treat.
First, preheat oven to 350F and gather the ingredients mentioned below:
- Half a cup of non-fat powdered milk
- Half a cup of organic whole wheat flour
- Half a cup of cooked organic chicken cut into small pieces suitable for your cat.
- Buttered cookie sheet
- One tablespoon of vegetable oil
- One organic egg
- Quarter a cup of water
Although this is optional, but you can add fresh organic catnip which is chopped to add more flavor and aroma for your cat.
- Mix the flour, milk, and chicken together in a bowl. Then add a solution of water, oil, beaten egg and catnip if you are using it.
- Stir the mixture together and make a thick paste.
- Form small balls, the size suitable for your cat and place them on the cookie sheet that you have already greased.
- You can flatten the balls into discs and adjust the size that is good for your cat.
- Put the cookie sheet in the oven and let it bake for about ten minutes.
- Take them out of the oven the flip them over, so they are nice and golden brown on both sides.
- Place them back in the oven and let them bake for another ten minutes.
- Allow the treats to cool down to room temperature and let your cat nibble on them to see if they like them or not.
- You can keep these treats fresh for a long time by placing them in an airtight jar or a bag.
- Keep giving your cats this delicious treat, and it will surely crave for more.
- There are many other types of treats with a mixture of ingredients that you can easily cook in your own home.
Related Questions
How long do homemade treats last?
The main trick if keeping them away from air and humidity and they will last for up to two weeks in an airtight container.
Is tuna bad for cats?
Tuna is good as long as it's given in moderation. Canned tuna, when given in excess, can prove harmful for your cat for many reasons, so it is always a good idea to give your cat tuna as a treat in small amounts and sparingly.
Can water be added to dry food?
Yes. Adding water to dry food will enhance its flavor and make it softer. It will also allow your cat to drink water with their food as many cats suffer from dehydration.
Why is my cat always hungry?
The thyroid gland of some cats are very overactive, and they have hyperthyroidism which induces extreme hunger at all times. You cat might also feel hungry because it does not have sufficient energy despite having food. Also, your cat might have diabetes, and this can be solved by insulin injections. You cat will go back to having a normal appetite as soon as these problems are taken care of.

Joe's Comment – I see this is a graphic representation of the "Red Pill vs Blue Pill" meme (first presented in the movie "Matrix"). The movie "Brazil" also comes to mind. Is it merely an attitude of "making the best of a bad situation"? Is it being totally oblivious to the reality around you? Is it reality itself……
I'll go with Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies", written for the Broadway musical "Betsy" as sung by Charles Kaley:
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Every day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds, all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile that's exactly what I do
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile that's exactly what I do
Coronavirus (aka COVID-19, Kung Flu, Chinese Flu, Beer Flu, Wuhan Flu)
Because Joe and I are good at math, because Joe and I can read a chart, because Joe and I can read…..
for all these becauses, here's our understanding of COVID-19 response efforts.
A Bell Curve is a useful graphic analysis which gives much information, should you know how to digest it and extract such knowledge.
Here is a picture of three Bell Curves –
The curve in red is steep; the curve in green is somewhat flattened; the curve in blue is flat.
All three curves have one thing in common: they all have the same "area under the curve".
Now, imagine each curve represents the total population of Canada, or the U.S., or the world. I.e., the area under the curve is the population in question. That is, each curve represents an equal population, just spread over the "x" axis (horizontal axis) differently (the "x" axis could be time).
Further, imagine these curves are the possible infection curve of a virus such as our new villain, the dreaded pirate Kung Flu.
Lets stretch our imagination even further – let's say that there is a known historic statistic, such as 1% death rate.
Knowing the population and the statistic and the area under the curve, no matter which curve you are on, the end result is the same number of dead people.
If that be so, Joe, why oh why try to "flatten" the curve?
Several very good reasons.
1. Humane treatment of seriously ill or terminal cases. By stretching the time dimension of the response as the virus infects us all, and it will, the finite amount of materiel and technology and workforce required at the peak is lessened. The existing medical infrastructure will not be overwhelmed by volume if you can flatten the infection curve significantly. One research source states 1 million ill people would break the American system. In our view, the Canadian system is already broken (if 14 days is critical).
2. Development of new anti-virus medicines and cures. By stretching the time dimension (flattening the curve) the people who analyze and innovate and discover solutions in this field have more opportunity to gather necessary data, experiment, test, and devise preventive strategies and/or cures. Anyone with a hint of Pollyanna in them can understand that this effort to understand the virus in order to defeat the virus might lead to fewer total deaths in the entire population due to invention of effective weaponry (i.e. vaccinations, preventative tactics, helpful medications).
3. Keep vital supply chains intact. By stretching the time dimension (curve "blue" above) the many supply chains required to provide for millions of people living in high density areas (cities) are less likely to break due to lack of qualified labor, or dearth of product.
4. "Save" lives. By stretching the time dimension (delaying time to exposure) any useful outcome from point 2 above may alter the outcome for many individuals. We have argued in the past what we argue today: everyone dies. You can't really "save" a life, but you can prolong a life. With that said, we are both (and the other 35 loons in our head) 100% pro-prolong.
Joe and I have been watching the daily American Coronavirus Task Force updates all week. They are all (still) on YoubeTube.
We have embedded the last three – below was Friday, March 20th:
Here is the Saturday update:
Here is the Sunday update:
We find these briefings information rich and surprisingly calming. If you take the time to look up the names of the people involved the skill set and depth of experience is world class. From the briefing it is evident that the entire world's nations are in touch or being touched by this team.
They are gathering data. They are leading research. They are leading the globe. From the presentations, corporations big and small are re-tooling and re-purposing to meet the materiel and technical and innovation needs required to conquer this virus.
Joe and I find the planning and strategy they are pursuing flawless. We have always said that "Planning is priceless; the plan may be worthless". For clarity, if you know how to plan you can make a new plan or modify an existing plan based on how reality changes/affects/effects the plan. We think this team is all of that and more.
The criticism we have is the bloody idiots in the press.
You can tell they are trained Progressives: their focus on things big and small is totally warped. They can't tell the difference between a mountain and a mole hill.
Joe and I more than believe; we know; – that the American ability to mobilize during a threat and/or challenge of global magnitude is unparalleled. We know there is no other country that can carry their water. They are orders of magnitude above and beyond in capacity, reach, materiel, skill sets, technology, McGiverism, mobility, or any other metric you wish to use.
Joe and I also know that the Israelis are also extremely able. They have top level technology, years of front-line experience, high motivation, but they cannot equal the sheer volume capability of America.
We also know that in the West, sharing of vital information and data and technology and even materiel is more or less free-flowing.
Joe says he wouldn't want to be the President, especially presenting to these mostly hostile press morons. Joe says as president, he would carry a pearl handled 1911, bored for ACP .45, and would shoot the dumb question askers. Ergo, after some time, there are no stupid questions.
Some quick wit out there somewhere on the Internet remembered a passage or two from a Dean Koontz novel of the '80s titled "The Eyes of Darkness". Damned if Mr. Koontz didn't call it almost verbatim, 40 years ago –
Joe and I also find great solace in the deep well of humor that exists in the West, and is easily found, via the marvel of Internet searches. There are two "H's", Hope and Humor, that are arm in arm on the front lines of any conflict. Here are a few that we found irresistible –
Patrick Moore
One of our Canadian heroes.
You have a pledge from Joe and I that every new video of Patrick Moore presenting his argument will find its way to this rant.
Dr. Moore is becoming more lucid with every presentation:
Pat Condell
Joe and I haven't seen anything from Pat Condell for a long time.
We thought he might have been ill, or grew tired of reporting on the United Kingdom and European culture.
What to do?
Just because we haven't seen anything new, doesn't mean his older observations are not as valid or even more valid today.
We like Mr. Condell not for his politics (he leans left – and in England that is waaay left) but for his humanity.
Joe says he's like a '60s Democrat.
In this video from December 2018, he addresses some of the differences between "The Land of the Free" and European progressive-think.
His observations are spot on in calling out those pursuing "The Anti-American Dream":
His YoubeTube channel does have more recent commentary.
Shame on Joe and me for thinking Pat Condell was over.
If you watch the following, you will know two things at the end: Pat Condell is as ascorbic and fiery as ever he once was, and secondly, he has nothing but scorn and derision to heap on the Chinese Communist Party and their gangsta leader, Xi Ping Walla Walla Bing.
Here is his take on the "Kung Flu" aka COVID-19, in true Pat Condell form:
Steve Bannon
Joe and I think highly of Mr. Bannon.
We also like Ms. Bartiromo for her passion and guest lists – she does try to get the scoop.
Joe likes her for much more shallow reasons (a great Roman nose).
In this segment from her Saturday show Mr. Bannon lays the hammer down about the "war" status of the United States:
Quick Dick McDick
Where else can you find a Saskatchewan farmer who tells it like it is?
Why, anywhere in Saskatchewan!
Here's Quick Dick to shed some light on protester diets:
Maura Moynihan
Ms. Moynihan is the daughter of (deceased) American Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
Unlike Canadian Prime Minister Chief Rainbow Socks, she did not get her position or authority because of her surname.
Unlike Canadian Prime Minister Little Gay, she took heed of her unique lineage and made the most of her opportunities to become an expert, an authority, on the culture and affairs of Tibet.
She has spent her life studying, exposing, and vocalizing her disdain of the Chinese Communist Party, especially the Chinese occupation of Tibet.
Joe says if you think the CCP deserves any admiration or lauds for their actions or goals you are a danger to yourself and those around you.
This should be mandatory watching for everyone in the Western nations.
The CCP is, like the COVID-19 virus, a threat to the entire world, civilized or no.
Here is Maura Moynihan asking the question : where's the outrage?
Ms. Moynihan says, in accord with her father's pronouncement, the Chinese Communist Party exhibits "Stalinoid Dementia".
She professes great love and admiration for the Tibetan and Chinese people, but has nothing whatsoever other than condemnation for the Chinese Communist Party.
She also suggests that ANY INFORMATION from China (aka CCP) is (gasp!) bogus.
Who knew?
After watching this video, Joe and I are indulging in a bit of conspiracy porn – the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic was planned in the inner sanctum of the CCP.
This interview is conducted by Jan Jekielek for American Thought Leaders and is a presentation of The Epoch Times.
Take the time to watch:
Dave Brat
Mr. Brat is a former American congressman who is the dean of the Liberty University School of Business.
This interview was conducted during the CPAC 2020 Convention.
Mr. Brat is proposing what President Trump has been proposing for decades: a level playing field. His focus is reciprocity with China.
Very level headed challenge to the CCP.
This interview occurred before the above interview with Maura Moynihan.
Joe and I visit The Epoch Times as a go-to source for comment on current events.
We think so highly of The Epoch Times we are petitioning the purser-in-our-head (McScrooge) for funds to buy a subscription.
This is a short thought provoking presentation:
Andrew Klavan
Joe and I check Mr. Klavan's outpourings frequently.
We like the fact that he is a deep thinker.
He is a mentor to Ben Shapiro (although Mr. Shapiro might think otherwise).
He is a writer.
The best part is he is resolute in his belief that freedom and liberty are indispensible.
He also loves sharing ideas.
This video is a recent address to students at the University of Iowa, with the title "Is God a Conservative?". A wonderful Q & A follows:
Joe's Garage
Duratec 3.0L Ford V6 DOHC Engine
Joe has been seeking solutions to sour-running Ford Escape V6 engines in two of his beloved possessions.
Or maybe threatening to junk two Ford Escapes is more accurate.
No codes, or inconsequential codes.
"Fish nibble" misses (sporadic and weak).
Since Joe and I started "collecting" Ford Escapes (we've owned about 6 to date) with the 3.0L Duratec V6 DOHC engine, three of them have had engine problems in the neighborhood of 210,000 to 250,000 kilometers.
One had the temerity to push a piston rod through the crankcase.
Two have had rattling timing chains, missing idle, clattering valve-trains, weird noises.
Joe thought for sure the chain tensioner(s) had failed and the timing chain(s) had skipped (to my loo my darlin').
We've now torn 4 engines apart – down to the timing chains.
Velly intellesting!
None of them had skipped teeth – all were correctly timed.
One had stretched timing chains, and a failed tensioner.
We pulled the spark plugs out and spun the engines with a Milwaukee "Hole Hog" reduction drill.
Lots of oil flow, and no chain noise after replacing the chains and tensioner apparatus.
Next step is to remove the camshafts and inspect the cam followers for bad rollers.
A well laid out engine. Easy to work on.
Joe speculates the failure(s) have to do with light oil viscosity. In an attempt to improve CAFE mileage, these motors are recommended to use 5W-20 oil. The above pictured engine showed lots of sludge and signs of overheating. We suspect late or no oil changes. The chains were stretched – both chain tensioners were fully extended (one had a failed seal). New timing chains and tensioners installed. Gonna put the engine back in the vehicle and see if we made it all better. Continue reading Sunday Rant – 1220

Defiant Facebook Buys Startup Focused On 'Controlling Computers With Your Mind'
Last week, Mark Zuckerberg visited Capitol Hill to try and 'win friends' in Congress. It was his first big trip back to Washington since the contentious House and Senate hearings last year, where the Facebook chief was accused of sometimes treating lawmakers with disdain (who can forget 'senator, we run adds'?).
The timing of his trip is starting to make more sense. Thanks to a flurry of federal and state investigations, for the first time in its existence, Facebook is facing the very real risk of being broken up. Several lawmakers have asked whether breaking Facebook into Instagram, Whatsapp and Facebook wouldn't be better for consumers. Facebook agrees that something should be done to regulate social media and other Internet companies, but it doesn't think the bipartisan anti-trust movement that formed in the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal is the right path.
But given all of the scrutiny surrounding the company and its acquisition, Facebook has reportedly agreed to buy CTRL-Labs, a tech startup working on software to let people control a digital avatar using only their thoughts, for somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion, Bloomberg reports.
The closely held four-year-old startup has dozens of employees and has raised tens of millions in venture capital. Its only product right now is a bracelet that measures neuron activity to try and determine a movement that a person might be thinking about, even if they aren't physically moving. The 'neuron activity' is then displayed on a screen.
When this technology becomes mature, robust, and capable, I have to wonder if DARPA isn't going to attempt to "immediately buy out the Zuke", for trillions, and adapt this technology for virtual weapons control, to develop for the US weapons program.

Different types of shoes require different care routines. Regular polishing is necessary to keep your leather shoes healthy, but all a pair of suede shoes need is some light brushing from time to time. While we have already looked at ways to maintain your shoes during the monsoon, this guide dives further into individual types of shoes and the right method to care for them. A shoe cleaning service will always do the job for you, but here are some tips to make you the first line of defence against any monsoon damage to your shoes.
- Leather monsoon care
Unless it can be helped you should avoid taking your leather shoes out during the monsoon. If they do get wet in the rain it is important to take them off and allow them to dry naturally. Avoid using a hairdryer or any other artificial methods as this may lead to the material drying too much and cause cracks in the shoes. Excess water can also be dealt with by wiping the shoes down with tissue paper and stuffing them inside with newspapers. Allowing your leather to stay wet can lead to mould growing on your shoes. In such a scenario it is best to visit a shoe laundry in Mumbai and let them take care of it. Once your shoes have dried you should remember to always store them in a cold and dry place to keep them safe.
- Suede monsoon care
The best way to dry suede shoes is with the help of a microfiber towel or a tissue. The goal is to soak up the water before it causes patches by drying up. In this case, a hairdryer is your best friend. Once you have blotted away the excess water you can use a hairdryer along with a brush to ensure that your suede shoes have dried completely. If you were unable to dry your shoes in time you can apply a layer of cornstarch or talcum powder to the affected area. Allow the powder to dry overnight and clean it the next morning with a brush. With these steps, you will find that the spot is now gone without requiring a shoe cleaning service.
- Sneakers monsoon care
Water damage to sneakers can simply be brushed off by hand. With a pair of sneakers, a bigger pain point is the mud that gets caked to the bottom. If your sneakers have been caked in mud then the best course of action is to allow the mud to dry. Trying to clean muddy shoes while they are still wet leads to dirt and mud seeping into the pores of your shoes and affecting the fibres. Once the shoes have dried, scrape the mud off with a shoe brush or a toothbrush. Take this a step further and rub off any remaining dirt with a clean cloth. Regularly cleaning your sneakers is a great way to keep them in good shape.
Professional shoe laundry services in Mumbai have different processes in place for each type of shoe. While you might be able to provide first-aid to your shoes, the best way to preserve them is by relying on professionals. Keep these tips in mind to enjoy the rainy season in peace, without worrying about your shoes.

Graham & Brown launches decorating visualisation app
Graham & Brown, the wallpaper, paint and home accessories retailer, has developed a new app to enable customers to visualise pattern and colour on their walls.
A step-up from the current 'swatch' method, the app uses Augmented Reality to show how a decorated wall will look.
Launched through the App Store, the app allows customers to see the appearance of the room with the new pattern and to move around the room to see the design from any angle and with different light sources.
Alan Kemp, head of brand at Graham & Brown, said: "People love the thought of using wallpaper but often struggle to visualise what it will be like on their walls. Whilst there is a lot of inspiration to be found socially, online and in magazines, making that jump to what it will look like in your own space is a challenge for most of us. This app makes it easy and is very intuitive. You can save your favourites or take an image of your creation to review and share. If you like what you see you can buy it then and there."
Developed in-house through the Future Innovations Panel at Graham & Brown, the app makes use of the latest Augmented Reality technology built into an iPhone/iPad.
Paul Martin, head of IT at Graham & Brown, said: "The aim was to make something intuitive, accessible and quick to use, that uses technology to solve the age-old visualising problem. We've seen in testing that people are far bolder in their choices because they've seen exactly how a paper might look."
An android version of the app will be available later in the year.

I think to get out of debit ain't easy but there's many formula to get rid of it. This is one of the article on how to get out of debit I found. It give 7 steps to get out of debt
free image hosting
#1 Start working with the credit card companies – When I say this, I don't literally mean work for them, but rather call them up, and ask them to cut your interest rate down. Even if they cut it down by 1%, this can save you hundreds, if not thousands. A simple phone call can save you, trust me.
// It is important to know about your card. Get advice from credit card companies and you can save more money.
#2 Get on a budget – If you don't know where your money is going month to month, I want you to start a budget right now. What you're going to want to do is write down every bill that you're paying on a monthly basis. Whatever you have left over at the end of the month, put it toward debt!
// Start a budget is the must task. Planning and put all your receipt on the safest place. Make sure you put a pen and check all your expenses every day,
#3 Cut back on things – You don't need Starbucks, you don't need 800 cable channels, and you don't need a gardener to pick your weeds. Do you get my point here? Get rid of the luxuries that you can't afford. This isn't about image anymore.
// It is important to throw away waste need. Why you want to have cable channels if you can entertain yourself by internet access? Or you can do some exercise or do social work.
#4 It's garage sale time – If you're going to get rid of debt, you need money. One of the easiest ways to make some side cash is by selling things on eBay, as well as a garage sale. Post an ad and see what kind of response that you can get. Promise yourself that you're going to put all of that money toward your debts.
// Okay. My country don't really familiar with garage sale in the house but we can do it using website such as eBay. There's many thing in our house that can be sold via eBay.
#5 Get non-profit help – If you're going to get help, go with a non-profit company. Sure, you can find these companies online, but you can also find them at your local church, and some organizations. Check with the BBB to ensure that they do mean business. These companies can help you tremendously.
// In my country there's a non profit organization that can help us to learn about financial.
#6 Negotiate your bills – Credit card companies will negotiate with you when it comes to your bill. The only way they will do this sometimes is when you have a lump sum of cash. For example, if you have a $6,000 bill, they may settle for $3,800 in cash. If you're going to go this route, make sure that you get everything in writing!
// Hm.. it is great but I don't really like this steps.
#7 Money = Getting rid of debt – There isn't any magical formula, there isn't a tree out there, nor is there a book online that's going to give you money. You have to go out there and earn it on your own. I don't care how you make it (I hope it's legally). Working hard is going to get rid of your debts. You just want to keep this in the back of your mind.
// I agree. There's ain't easy way to get money. Beware of the scam that want to steal our money. Working hard and you will get reward.
SOurce :- Investinternals.com
Hopefully this article could help us to get rid of debit. If you have any additional formula, let's share with us.
the // is my opinion.

Andree Baskin a.k.a D'Roc or the Hitman is one of the underground world's most slept on Rap Artist/Producers. In the game since 1987 when he had to use two tape recorders to record a demo. Then there were karaoke machines which made recording easier. D'Roc later joined the group known as The Killa Krew, where he got plugged with access to a real studio were they where charging $100.00 a song. Time allowed D'Roc to find himself in a bigger studio where some of Memphis Tennessee's most popular artists once recorded. Three Six Mafia, Playa Fly, Gansta Blac, and Tommy Wright 3rd to name a few. D'Roc collaborated with Playa Fly, Gansta Blac and tons of other slept on artists who need to be heard. D'Roc got tired of paying for beats and managed to have his own studio built, where now he is one of the Midwests hidden secret weapons ready to unleash a flock of raw, unheard talent and a ton of blazzing hot tracks. Midwest, Dirty South or R&B D'Roc can put it down for you. A Gauranteed Hit.

We've been talking a lot to Jacob about the baby that's going to come when it's snow time! We were telling him the other day about all the fun things we had to do before the baby came like….going to the pumpkin patch, apple picking, seeing the Thomas Live show, trick or treat time, turkey time (thanksgiving), skating lessons, the santa claus parade and Christmas. I've been telling him that after all those fun times with just the three of us we'll get ready to have his little brother or sister come home. Jacob continues to insist that the baby is a "girl girl baby" and that we should name it "fia" which makes me wonder if he's just going to call the baby "fia" when it comes home; it's really sweet and cute that he associates the only other baby we know (Sofia) with the fact that we're going to have a baby in our house too.
The other morning I asked Jacob for a good morning, glad to see you, gosh I love you hug and kiss and after giving me a hug and kiss he leaned down and put his lips to my tummy and I curiously asked him what he was doing, to which he replied: kisses for baby too! Being the pregnant hormonal mess that I have been this past week I got tears in my eyes and said "yes that's right, kisses for the baby too" and then told Jacob thank you. It wasn't even a few hours later that I found Jacob in our big bed alone with the home doppler we have in one hand and the bottle of ultrasound gel in the other….the probe to the doppler was against his belly and he was trying to put gel on too. Again, feeling quite curious I asked Jacob what he was doing and he responded "jakey listen to his baby" and of course I just felt my heart melt. I sat up on the bed with him and told him that there is no baby in his belly but that the baby is growing in Mama's belly but it will come out when the snow comes to meet us all. Jacob smiled as big as he could and told me that "baby needed lots of milk too" and I told him that "yes the baby is going to need milk just like Jacob" and then we chatted about how big brothers can sometimes help Mommy's and Daddy's with the baby but sometimes if they don't want to help they don't have to because they're just a little guy too. I asked Jacob how he wanted to help take care of the baby and he said he'd play train set with the baby which made me chuckle!
I'm excited and nervous about making Jacob a big brother and can't wait to see how the transition goes for him….of course I still wonder what we'd tell him if something horrible happened and the baby did not make it to come home, but I do try not to focus on the negative and keep telling myself that this baby is coming home with us forever!

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) scored a victory over senior living providers when an appellate court Thursday rejected their challenge to emergency rules requiring generator installations. The court did not immediately explain the reasoning behind its 2-1 decision.
Industry officials unsuccessfully called on the court to review whether the state had exceeded its authority. The new mandate requires generator installations with 60 days.
The emergency rule came after more than a dozen residents died of heat-related causes at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills. Their deaths were attributed to a power outage caused by Hurricane Irma that made the community's air conditioning system inoperable.
In challenging the new requirement, attorneys argued that Florida's "specific reasons for finding an immediate danger to the public health, safety or welfare, upon which the emergency rules are based, are insufficient to justify emergency rule making."
In a rebuke, the governor's office issued a statement saying operators should be "protecting the lives of their patients." The Scott administration added it plans to use a public-rule making process to make the temporary rule permanent.
Many operators insist they will be unable to comply with the backup power mandate. By Friday, nearly 150 variance requests had been sought by assisted living and skilled care operators.
