MOTORHOME
FIVE YEARS AGO, when I first retired, I seriously considered investing in a motorhome and traveling around the USA... going from State-to-State visiting historical sites and other landmarks and pulling a smaller vehicle in which to drive around once we had parked in a camp ground. After much thought, I decided that I did not want to drive that MUTHER around on small streets or in the downtown areas of larger cities and try to back it up in case I needed to...
Mother's Day is a celebration honoring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. It complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as Father's Day, Siblings Day, and Grandparents Day.
The modern Mother's Day began in the United States, at the initiative of Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century. This is not (directly) related to the many traditional celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have existed throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, Rhea the Great Mother of the Gods, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a commemoration of Mother Church, not motherhood). However, in some countries, Mother's Day is still synonymous with these older traditions.
The U.S.-derived modern version of Mother's Day has been criticize] for having become too commercialized. Founder Jarvis herself regretted this commercialism and expressed views on how that was never her intention. SOURCE: Wikipedia

Saturday Evening
WHY have I not been out anymore than that in a State and region that has less then two dozen COVID-19 cases?Age is an issue...
But, the main concern is that I have NO IMMUNITY due to ongoing cancer treatments...
HOWEVER,
I am retired and do not need to work which has minimized my stress. If I had needed to work, I have no doubts that I would angry that this had happened to all of us.
REFLECTING...
These last couple of months have given me the opportunity to focus on my blogs and my other writings which I may not have devoted so much time to if I had not been self-quarantining.
While at home, I have noticed:
1. How the Democrats continue to attack Trump on everything he does or does not do
2. How the mainstream media continues to be biased against Trump
3. How grateful I am that I have pulled away from the Democrats
4. How selfish and self-serving Americans are
5. How power hungry some Governors are
6. How businesses are helping the people more than I had expected
7. How much I want CHINA to be punished
8. How many local resident do not wear face masks or social distance
9. How most Americans are not self-reliant
10. How civil disobedience is growing
Time for bed and to stop all my thinking.
PEOPLE LEAVING STATES
One million people have fled New York City and the tri-state area—which encompasses Jersey, Connecticut and Long Island—in the last nine years. According to Bloomberg, almost 300 people are moving out of the area per day.
This trend is not exclusive to the New York metropolitan area. Many similar regions are seeing their residents migrate to other states. Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, as well as Connecticut’s Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven, have all experienced a substantial exodus of people.
United Van Lines, the large moving truck company, keeps statistics on the flow of people. The company reports that three states in the Northeast—New Jersey, New York and Connecticut—are among the top places from which people are moving the fastest. READ MORE

American Football
Who Invented Football?
On November 6, 1869, Rutgers and Princeton played what was billed as the first college football game. However, it wasn't until the 1880s that a great rugby player from Yale, Walter Camp, pioneered rules changes that slowly transformed rugby into the new game of American Football.
Football definition:
any of several games played between two teams on a usually rectangular field having goalposts or goals at each end and whose object is to get the ball over a goal line, into a goal, or between goalposts by running, passing, or kicking: such as.

So, American Football is nothing more than TRANSFORMED RUGBY...
FOOTBALL (Soccer)
Origins of Soccer:
Records trace the history of soccer back more than 2,000 years ago to ancient China. Greece, Rome, and parts of Central America also claim to have started the sport; but it was England that transitioned soccer, or what the British and many other people around the world call “football,” into the game we know today.
The 17 Rules of Soccer:
Rule #1 - The Field of PlayRule #2 - The Ball
Rule #3 - The Number of Players
Rule #4 - The Player’s Equipment
Rule #5 - The Referee
Rule #6 - The Assistant Referees
Rule #7 - The Duration of the Match
Rule #8 - The Start and Restart of Play
Rule #9 - The Ball In and Out of Play
Rule #10 - Determining the Outcome of the Match
Rule #11 - Offside
Rule #12 - Fouls and Misconduct
Rule #13 - Free Kicks
Rule #14 - The Penalty Kick
Rule #15 - The Throw In
Rule #16 - The Goal Kick
Rule #17 - The Corner Kick

ROBOTICS
Robotics is an interdisciplinary research area at the interface of computer science and engineering. Robotics involves design, construction, operation, and use of robots. The goal of robotics is to design intelligent machines that can help and assist humans in their day-to-day lives and keep everyone safe. Wikipedia
Robots will replace humans for many jobs, just as innovative farming equipment replaced humans and horses during the industrial revolution. ... Factory floors deploy robots that are increasingly driven by machine learning algorithms such that they can adjust to people working alongside them.
There are five major fields of robotics:
There are five major fields of robotics:
- human-robot interface
- mobility
- manipulation
- programming
- sensors
Algorithms are a set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially performed by a computer. And, it is these algorithms that control the operation of a robot.
What we generally know so far is that an Agorithm takes some input and uses mathematics and logic to produce the output. In stark contrast, an Artificial Intelligence Algorithm takes a combination of both – inputs and outputs simultaneously in order to “learn” the data and produce outputs when given new inputs.
AND BY 2050:
"There’s no question that technology is drastically changing the way we work, but what will the job market look like by 2050? Will 40% of roles have been lost to automation – as predicted by Oxford university economists Dr Carl Frey and Dr Michael Osborne – or will there still be jobs even if the nature of work is exceptionally different from today? To address these issues, the Guardian hosted a roundtable discussion, in association with professional services firm Deloitte, which brought together academics, authors and IT business experts.
The future of work will soon become “the survival of the most adaptable”, says Paul Mason, emerging technologies director for Innovate UK. As new technologies fundamentally change the way we work, the jobs that remain will be multifaceted and changeable.
“Workers of the future will need to be highly adaptable and juggle three or more different roles at a time,” says Anand Chopra-McGowan, head of enterprise new markets for General Assembly. So ongoing education will play a key role in helping people develop new skills..." READ MORE

What is Artificial Intelligence?
AI programming focuses on three cognitive skills: learning, reasoning and self-correction.
Learning processes. This aspect of AI programming focuses on acquiring data and creating rules for how to turn the data into actionable information. The rules, which are called algorithms, provide computing devices with step-by-step instructions for how to complete a specific task.
Reasoning processes. This aspect of AI programming focuses on choosing the right algorithm to reach a desired outcome.
Self-correction processes. This aspect of AI programming is designed to continually fine-tune algorithms and ensure they provide the most accurate results possible. READ MORE

If you can imagine it... it is theoretically possible given the intellectual capacity of the human mind.
ANCIENT ALIENS

| Milky Way Galaxy - over 100 billion stars |
Alien civilizations may have explored the galaxy and visited Earth already, a new study says. We just haven’t seen them recently.
A study published last month in The Astronomical Journal posits that intelligent extraterrestrial life could be taking its time to explore the galaxy, harnessing star systems' movement to make star-hopping easier.
The work is a new response to a question known as the Fermi paradox, which asks why we haven't detected signs of extraterrestrial intelligence.
The paradox was first posed by the physicist Enrico Fermi, who famously asked, "Where is everybody?" READ MORE
CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

| Henry David Thoreau |
Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus. The act of civil disobedience made Parks an icon of the Civil Rights Movement.
GUESS WHAT'S INTERESTING HERE? All over the world, those people who demonstrate CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE are not wealthy or powerful...
NO "Empirical Evidence" of Trump-Russian Collusion
