Imagining is the hard part.

Topic: Immigration

Title: PROTECT IP Act

I used the topic of immigration here because I felt it was fitting, although not exactly the subject I intend to write about. Here it is, pass that act and i’ll emigrate as soon as possible and will do anything in my power to protest such an act. I wish to be free in my own country, to protect myself on the internet as much as I can protect my home. This bill is threatening my freedom AND security at the same time.

Amendment I to the Constitution -
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”

In this case you are effectively abridging the freedom of speech/press.

Amendment IV to the Constitution -
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

The government would effectively be entitled to the search and seizure of online effects without a warrant and I feel this is unreasonable. If I do not have a right to secure a means of exchange, then why should I live here? Or anyone for that matter?

Amendment V to the Constitution -
“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.”

My and many others exist on the internet intellectual property , you are depriving me of my liberty previous to a process of law. The right to protecting myself was upheld by the courts throughout the history of this country. Toss aside that right, allow myself to be tracked, monitored, my data stolen, and allow companies to do the same and I will have no choice, but to leave this country.

Amendment IX to the Constitution -
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

Disable my rights and I am no more than a slave.

Please give this to who ever you feel can make a difference, I cannot stand for it, I cannot suffer it. Please submit it to everyone in the house and senate if you need to.

Those who know me would probably call me the most stubborn person they know, my parents, my girlfriend, my teachers, my closest friends, all believe I am one of the most stubborn they have ever met. Well here is why, I refuse to do something that I do not understand, I did not want to learn to read because it was not explained to me why I should. Once it was explained I quickly went on to the highest of reading levels simply because I realized that reading was good for me. My father had a similar story with punishment which he loves to tell anyone who listens, when I was younger any time my parents attempted to punish me by telling me to do something such as sitting in a chair I would simply say “no.” They would then attempt to place me there and hold me while I struggled, punching, nawing anything to hurt them or myself to cause them pity. I sound like a brat right? Interesting enough, eventually I told them what their problem was, at the age of ten I explained that they needed to be fair. I understood I had as much power as they did to command, only less physical force. However, to my advantage I had their pity for me and reluctance of using their strength. Which led me to simply explain to them that if they treat me fair and deal with me by giving me chores in order to give me freedom, I would be willing to do as I am told. I was not willing to accept punishments for something which I did not understand or something that I did not agree to.

Take this lesson to all parents, learn to teach your children how to trade, explain every action. I do not remember one time where I have accepted punishment which I felt to be unjust, nor have I ever committed what I would consider a crime or broken a rule which I felt to be just. I have never stolen, never hurt another unless force was used on me, I avoided arguments, I avoided discussing in class unless called upon, I never speak at my job except to ask or answer questions. This is how I have been my whole life, even since I was a child, perhaps if children were taught that this is the right way to act, to trade to communicate, to discuss WHY to do something parents would have a better handle on their children as well as teach them how to react in the world.

Today I am venturing out to purchase my first armadillo lizard, not even technically mine, rather a gift for a friend who will obtain it on a future date. I intend to put up a full care sheet (including eventually how to entice them to mate), and add as much information as I can. When looking on the internet I could not find any information pertaining to raising, breeding, or even where to obtain these lizards, I now intend to do all of that on my own.

From current reading this is what I understand to be the way in which you care for them:

• 20 gallon tank (screen lid)
• coconut sub-strait (3 inches thick)
• hiding place
• water dish
• crickets for food
• UVB and heat lamp
• a couple large rocks for basking (100 degrees)
• up to three can be housed in that 20 gallon tank (though not recommended) and only one male per.
• lighting is on for 8-10 hours per day

I read probably twenty to twenty-five articles on how to construct website, some more in depth, others more of a how-to-guide. None of them really prepared me properly in my opinion. The first version of lettergram.org managed to have anywhere from 500 to 2,000 visitors a day, depending on what day of the week and the amount I personally went out and advertised. Of course at the time Lettergram.org only managed maybe, ten how-to-guides and comparison posts. All ten combined gave me roughly 85% of my visitors.

Now however, I have none of that, and my website having been down 8 months I receive about 20 visits a day and I went out and deleted all the links I could find to old posts that were lost when my site was down. Some may ask why I went out spending time in order to do that, well to be honest it had to do with integrity, I did not want complaints or people looking down upon my website because of some old post. Instead I went out deleted all my links that I could find (several hundred) in the hopes that I could start fresh. Well, obviously with the fact solidified in my mind that no one will read this post, I go on wondering. What to do with this hunk of space I rented on the internet.

One option is to begin to repost often on things I find interested (as I had previous), as well as how to articles. Slow and steady I shall post places in my spare time in hopes of regaining a foot hold on the mass of the internet.

Or the second option, maintain this with some how-to-guides for friends, maybe some interesting stuff, but make a larger setting on my new website lettergram.net, it’s basically a website with guides on physics, much like patrickJMT on youtube. I simply make downloadable guides and youtube videos on physics. I have been doing it, but breaking into that market is making me want to commit suicide. Every day I awaken to school, work, then in my spare time I am trying to make some friendly, easy to understand guide, yeah right! I have maybe 6 up there, 30 pages of material, 4 videos, but receiving 4 hits a day and i’m too tired by the end of it to advertise.

PLEASE SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM OBLIVION!

I sat down to one of the many debates scheduled for the Republican candidates to state there positions and apparently feelings on why they should be President. The only ones who did not seem to state why they feel they should be President of the United States is Rick Santorum and Ron Paul from what I could tell. The new beast, that is Newt-Romney, has so elegantly stated how I feel about the two of them. The new Newt-Romney beast has forever tied together the two leading candidates, a good call Michele Bachmann’s crew, hopefully forming a lasting tie in all the viewers brains that will hold Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney as a single unit, forcing a split between their votes. It has yet to be seen how many jokes will be made, but it is certain that the new Newt-Romney monstrosity will dampen the hopes of both parties, or at least, brighten the spirits of those listening to jokes!

Lettergram.net has officially been launched as of December 1, 2011 all pages are able to be viewed and accessible. Lettergram.net  is intended to be a resource for students in Physics currently, with eventually being branched out into Physics, Chemistry, Computer Programming, Biology, and Anatomy with study guides, related information, and videos. All resources accessible within two clicks (maximum), a very clean U.I., optional search bar, and hopefully in a few months enough advertising revenue to allow me to post advertisements and a donation button in order to keep both lettergram.org & lettergram.net for either free or at a net profit. My goal is to have all University Classical Physics & Quantum Mechanics completed by summer, with possibly some Chemistry, Computer Programming and Anatomy study resources coming out over that time span.

Based on my current knowledge of physics (classical through quantum theory), although limited, there are several basic principles that are always constant

1.  The rules that govern physics are universal.
2. Understanding these rules, allow intelligent beings have the ability to alter their surroundings.
3. Anything that can be is at some point in time, if the universe is infinite.

Every time I turn on CNN or msnbc I feel the urge to scream, rarely have I seen any poll in which Ron Paul has come in the lead from either channel. In most cases I have not even seen Ron Paul mentioned in any news broadcast, this race is considerably better than that of 2008 in which I had not even known Ron Paul was running until half way through the primaries (even watching most of the debates).

At a family party one afternoon I am approached by a family member to discuss starting a business, the proposal is this:

One of my family members use to work as a chef and makes what many people consider the best potato salad that anyone has ever had, he proposed that him, myself, and perhaps one or two other individuals from my family (or close family friends) start a business producing this potato salad and selling it to local establishments. This family member has a bachelors in accounting, is about fifty years old, and is currently unemployed. He seems like a very hard worker and from what I know of him, he is a very hard worker, however I still have my doubts.

1. Currently he produces a potato salad that takes roughly 3 hours to produce, costs about $35 (for a gallon and a half), and has ingredients such as pickle juice which would be slightly harder to obtain?
2. On what size would this business be profitable and who would make up our market?
3. We would need a facility to produce this, meaning more cost, and would it be done by hand or mechanized?

The basic unit circle from any trig class is very easy to understand if several simple ideas are grasped:

Now here is what must be understood simply, FIND THE PATTERNS!!!!  take for example 30 degrees, if you take 30 degrees and do (Cos(30)) in your calculator you’ll get a number equivalent to the number √3/2 or exactly what the ‘x’ value is for 30 degrees in the picture. Now do the same for the (Sin(30)), I bet you’ll receive a number equivalent to the ‘y’ value of 30 degrees. Now if you have not been getting those numbers, that is because your calculator is not in degree mode, meaning it is likely in radian mode, WHICH SIMPLY MEANS YOU MUST LOOK AT WHAT FRACTION OF ‘Π’ there is at that angle, then do *(Cos(Π/6)) in this case to get the ‘x’ value or (Sin(Π/6)) to get the ‘y’ value, simple enough right?

It’s not over yet though there is still something else that must be understood, the unit circle is 360 degrees or 2Π around, meaning that it can be broken down into many small chunks all of which must be understood, all of which I do not feel like explaining, so here is a helpful hint, look at 150 degrees, it is 5Π/6….

HINT: 180-30 = 150 degrees; Π = 180 degrees, Π/6 = 30 degrees; Π - Π/6 = 5Π/6: Conclusion: 5Π/6 = 150 degrees

Best of luck!
