I believe Nikki Haley is going to win. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">I sometimes make outlandish predictions. In 2010 I told my students at West Virginia University that Donald Trump would be President if he ever decided to run, on the grounds that he had the most media exposure, and Americans truly wanted an alternative candidate rather than another party hack. When it actually became time in 2016, I predicted he would win while major news organizations were refusing to cover his candidacy, believing it was a publicity stunt. I also predicted that <a href="https://elliotkennel.blogspot.com/2016/01/trump-can-win-but-can-hilllary.html" target="_blank">Bernie Sanders would mount a challenge to Hillary Clinton</a>. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">I also predicted that <a href="https://elliotkennel.blogspot.com/2017/01/will-mr-trump-be-able-to-complete-his.html" target="_blank">President Trump would be impeached back in 201</a>7. And as Casey Stengel used to say, you can look it up! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This year, it seems to me, the hard part is winning the Republican nomination. The easier task is defeating President Biden in the November Election. Biden's weaknesses are duly noted. He is a doddering geriatric case who is seeking to claim more power for the Executive Branch on behalf of his power-mad political party, just as Donald Trump is seeking to do for his party. Biden just has less bombast, but the goal is the same: absolute power, with his rival hopefully thrown in jail. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The party process is so corrupt that it is impossible for a contender to mount a serious challenge within the Democratic ranks or else someone--anyone--would. However, the Democratic Party has assumed so much power that there will be no opportunity for a challenger to win. They are stuck with a deteriorating geriatric case as their candidate and nothing can be done about it. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">For that matter, President Trump suffers from the same problems as President Biden: old age and being the symbol of a Party eager to dominate American politics in perpetuity in defiance of the Constitution. Both parties seek to rule America by Executive Order. Whenever there is a change of Political Party, there is a stack of Executive Orders waiting to be signed. Keystone Pipeline? If it's a Republican, gone within 24 hours of assuming office; if it's a Democrat, restored within 24 hours. Build a wall? Republican President, yes, Democrat, no. Legal support for Black lives matter? Democrat yes, Republican no. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">These issues should be carefully legislated by our Congress but instead they are put in place by the Almighty Political Party of the President, and Americans are okay with that. Our choices are doddering would-be dictators Trump and Biden. Well, perhaps Americans are looking for alternatives. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Both Trump and Biden will seek to end Democracy. Haley may--MAY--offer an alternative to confrontational and dominant pure party rule. For that reason I believe sensible Americans will vote for her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Currently she is gaining momentum in New Hampshire. Once Trump establishes himself as a has-been loser, I don't see him regaining momentum and restoring the Trump Presidency as the alternative to a Biden dictatorship. Do you? </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">One line sticks with me against President Trump.

Why? Let's keep it simple. Ramaswamy is promising to pardon Donald Trump. Other Republicans are wishy-washy about what would happen, whereas the Democrats universally call for trial, conviction and jail time. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Democrats need to be rebuked. They need to understand that it is not realistic to obtain a guilty verdict via jury trial against President Trump. Why not? Because the jury will be inevitably become known publicly and thus in imminent danger of death by mob violence, and their families will be in the same situation also. This is not to suggest organized crime, but DISorganized fans of Donald Trump will certainly react, and everyone with an IQ over 1/2 should understand this. So how are we going to find 12 people willing to risk their lives and the lives of their families to deliver a guilty verdict? Hello, Democrats, you are not going to do that. It is not possible. The visions of a contrite Donald shuffling off to jail will never ever come true because obtain a guilty verdict via a jury trial is not possible with 12 Democrats in a jury, and that in itself would be a sham. If you have 10 Democrats and 2 Republicans it will be at best a hung jury, and the 10 Democrats will still be in terrible danger when the trial is over. You cannot do this. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The only way to successfully disengage from this disastrous path is for the next President, whoever he or she is, to grant President Trump a pardon. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ramaswamy is the only candidate who promises to pardon Donald Trump. This is just such common sense. Every other candidate, both Democrat and Republican is so beholden to party interests that they are headed to a crisis and they can't see it coming. Dealing with the trial of Donald Trump is a headache that this country does not need. It is conceivable that the two sides might resort to Civil War to alleviate their angst. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">On the other hand the country cannot allow Trump back into the Oval Office because he might never leave. That would be the end of the Constitutional Republic and the US government would basically become a family-owned business.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Biden would certainly not consider a Trump pardon. He would see nothing wrong with leading the USA into a new Civil War as long as he believed that the Democrats would win it. Moreover, there is no opposition Democrat, since the party refuses to</span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> sponsor primary debates. So forget all about that. The</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> nomination process is indeed rigged so that Biden will be the nominee whether the people like it or not. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You can look at Trump's rising numbers and interpret them as rising confidence in him by Republicans, and perhaps this is so. However, it may also be that Republicans are bailing on the party's choice, Florida Governor DeSantis, just as they bailed on party choice Florida Governor Jeb Bush in 2016. For whatever reason, Americans seem to not like being told who to vote for. It may be that the Republican platform is a bit out of touch with the way voters really feel. My personal feeling is that Republicans talk a good ballgame of fiscal responsibility, but if you vote them in, they will spend like hell on their friends (compromising in some cases by also spending on some of the Democrats' friends), generally protecting big dollar programs while damaging American workers and people who need help. If you don't understand what I mean, go back to the 2016 debates and listen how the other candidates referred to America's "investment" in Iraq, while Donald Trump called Iraq a "disastrous mistake." That's why big dollar Republicans wanted Jeb Bush to maintain the status quo, and the voters rejected the wishes of the party, much to their chagrin.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Look, you can't have a system in which we try to throw the previous Administration in jail all the time. You are not locking up Obama or the Clintons. You are not locking up Biden, either, despite the fact that he is a hardliner daring Trump to start something. Nor are you locking up Trump. That's just not how our system works. This is not the French Revolution, where we chop people's heads off and accept no compromises. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Hello, this is America, where we used to--and will again--have a loyal opposition, in which we talk to each and reason with one another. Republicans and Democrats both love their children and get along.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">That is why Trump is going to be pardoned and someone else is going to run in his place. It should be someone like Vivek Ramaswamy, rather than a party favorite. Right now, he is the only one making any sense in the Republican field. </span></p>.The Village Elliot.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04067573537341001185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-61975487535276905732023-07-30T05:39:00.003-07:002023-07-30T09:42:06.699-07:00Peace in Ukraine has no Military Solution<p></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b> Peace in Ukraine has no Military Solution</b></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhye0kHrRSFTyvVaUTgrbITFctId4lwnNNz7s2YuPSZs6bveg_qOVjiOSF5JEeh2cmWa9mmhs1mSxuJrdEOQsiNTs91JP6DP59qxGABdgi3tp1i_Eoego3NTyIUS09e2x1LPct2ECBQHz2_UhF8F-8zf7ZTgs95jlNdUOUlMy8jBZeMtgfuP-UwidDUqQUz" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhye0kHrRSFTyvVaUTgrbITFctId4lwnNNz7s2YuPSZs6bveg_qOVjiOSF5JEeh2cmWa9mmhs1mSxuJrdEOQsiNTs91JP6DP59qxGABdgi3tp1i_Eoego3NTyIUS09e2x1LPct2ECBQHz2_UhF8F-8zf7ZTgs95jlNdUOUlMy8jBZeMtgfuP-UwidDUqQUz=w627-h352" width="627" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Media reports that Ukraine has gained a few square miles of land in their great summer counter-offensive is a cruel joke. Just shut up. Admit that the war is almost perfectly stalemated. Military victory is impossible because the Russian side has nuclear weapons, and President Putin would rather be personally castrated rather than suffer a military defeat on the battlefield. It defies logic to believe in a military solution.<br /></span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Nevertheless, as of July 30, breathless reporting by CNN is telling us about key battles around the towns of Staromalorske and Velyka Novosylka, trying to convince us that there is real hope for a military breakthrough. </span></div><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2023/07/27/ukraine-counteroffensive-magic-wall-sebastian-hnk-vpx.cnn">https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2023/07/27/ukraine-counteroffensive-magic-wall-sebastian-hnk-vpx.cnn</a></div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><span>It's not just CNN, of course. They are joined by the majority of mainstream media worldwide. However, according to Wikipedia, the population of Stromalorske, last we knew, was 839. </span><span>Velyka Novosylka was significantly larger, a teeming metropolis of over 5,000 people. God bless them, but guessing that Russia controls about 25% of a country of 40 million, there needs to be 2000 such events to win the war. A victory per week means the Russians would be vanquished in only 40 years if there are no further problems and if nuclear weapons are not employed (but they will be). This does not seem like a path to success unless there is a remarkable change. Does the mainstream, global media feel it has a vested interest in promoting an illogical legend about an imminent Ukrainian victory? </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">The Administration seems extremely content with military stalemate, though the media seems uncomfortable in reporting it that way. By calling Putin a "War Criminal," President Biden has made negotiations next impossible. Can anyone imagine a scenario in which Putin declares a willingness to negotiate peace so that he can be judged as a War Criminal and hanged? The Republicans have completely missed the point, choosing to tease the President about another age-related gaffe. No, it is not. It was a careful, deliberate and thoughtful proclamation guaranteed to ensure perpetual warfare, and you Republicans failed to take the President seriously because you are more interested in name-calling rather than dealing with matters of serious global politics.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The Administration regards Russia as a threat to world security, not our ally, and Russia is bogged down in a war that they cannot win. Putin has been suckered into the hugest blunder of his career, and President Biden will not let him off the hook. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">President Biden is not particularly fond of Ukraine, either. Recall that he threatened to withhold aid from Ukraine while he was Vice President. If you are a Democrat, you probably believe it was to force the Ukrainians to clean up corruption in their military-industrial complex. If you are a Republican, you may believe it had to do with protecting Hunter Biden from his part in those corrupt dealings. But either way, as Vice President, Joe Biden was not a friend of Ukraine. Nothing has changed to make him love Ukraine today. He probably dislikes Ukraine less than he dislikes Russia, but he is far, very far, from a true ally. He sees no advantage in a strong Ukraine and certainly sees no advantage in relief for Russia He is content to damage both potential adversaries by supporting an almost perfect stalemate.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">That is why the US supports Ukraine with maximal aid, some $113 billion in 2022, ten times more than the next largest contributor. </span></div></div><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgPNm0OksssoNMLuf-Hvyyg0JtPUXHtTAau9JhIQQjdPMU4SHHXPO-fPL5QGZ67Xt9wfNWwSmFfOdbM3w5K96HxNvSvOkZAs-Rcd9J-EIuxUviwdwSI6JlPYaJQCagrNvbMn8m5HZNr8BU_XTVwzOf8Zduh5nR8IuoQ1kDhj2jq1-x-EBPLkJHaq0uBBOL5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="447" data-original-width="770" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgPNm0OksssoNMLuf-Hvyyg0JtPUXHtTAau9JhIQQjdPMU4SHHXPO-fPL5QGZ67Xt9wfNWwSmFfOdbM3w5K96HxNvSvOkZAs-Rcd9J-EIuxUviwdwSI6JlPYaJQCagrNvbMn8m5HZNr8BU_XTVwzOf8Zduh5nR8IuoQ1kDhj2jq1-x-EBPLkJHaq0uBBOL5=w656-h380" width="656" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The US is far and away the largest investor in the Ukraine stalemate.

Similarly, a leadership change in Russia would be very helpful, though nobody, including the Russians, is quite sure how that is actually brought about. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /><br /></span><p></p>.The Village Elliot.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04067573537341001185noreply@blogger.com06MV2+3Q Butenky, Poltava Oblast, Ukraine49.2426879 33.651994421.877402012528 -1.5042556000000005 76.607973787471991 68.8082444tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-87486776321208548952023-04-19T18:27:00.001-07:002023-04-19T18:27:20.038-07:00Kennel's Law of Internet Sarcasm<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> I had better write this down so I can take credit for it:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Kennel's Law of Internet Sarcasm: <i>Nothing you can post on the internet is so stupid that someone won't take it seriously. </i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The consequences of this simple law are quite profound. It means that you have to be very careful about attempting to use sarcastic humor. Ethnic jokes? Racial humor? Usually not a good idea. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It's too bad. From the time of William Shakespeare, Anglo Saxons have enjoyed making fun of themselves and laughing together. I am not Anglo by blood, but I've grown up in America, so culturally I'm pretty much tuned in to their way of thought. I let you make fun of me, you let me make fun of you, and we are both jolly good fellows. We are willing to let our guard down with each other. However, <i>not all cultures are like that</i>!! Some cultures assume you mean what you say, and insults are insults. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In 1729, Jonathan Swift wrote "A Modest Proposal" in which he suggested that poor Irish people should sell their children as food to rich English people. This was <i>satire</i>. Swift's point was that the English upper class were way too rich and draconian in their approach to their Irish neighbors. They should have come up with some reasonable plan to help ease unfair economic conditions involving Irish people. Most readers got the point and were sympathetic to the cause of the oppressed Irish people, or at least put off by the draconian aristocracy mocked by Swift's satire. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Nowadays, if this were published online, someone would think that Swift was seriously proposing that Irish children should be eaten by rich English people. This would be standard fare on AM radio. Some people would get very offended, or worse, others would think it is a good idea. It's hard to imagine Democrats and Republicans agreeing on anything, so one party would probably wind up supporting it. </span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><br /></p>.The Village Elliot.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04067573537341001185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-31406480508910854792023-04-04T15:15:00.001-07:002023-04-04T15:15:28.829-07:00Mustang to Paducah has Comedy, Suspense, Mystery, 60's Vibe<p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhd6e_o8CLv1fcjuaG9NNzeUxNlqSqgUYlW5mr1jwqslVKRIG5eTV9N6cfcLB7N0QlIlDzqUEMFvv0oWIVs-J7EX3c89wRd_-0-gEHgZi8DgUL6P3I2O2CON54h5bWtNNwMHvVHjXAcdBCysJjZpazsI08nPzMX3p99ru2mh8OcKR5dhBpohvH3nvWF" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="500" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhd6e_o8CLv1fcjuaG9NNzeUxNlqSqgUYlW5mr1jwqslVKRIG5eTV9N6cfcLB7N0QlIlDzqUEMFvv0oWIVs-J7EX3c89wRd_-0-gEHgZi8DgUL6P3I2O2CON54h5bWtNNwMHvVHjXAcdBCysJjZpazsI08nPzMX3p99ru2mh8OcKR5dhBpohvH3nvWF=w640-h448" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mustang-Paducah-Zany-Romp-Sixties-ebook/dp/B0BY7BTQL1#:~:text=Set%20in%201969%2C%20Mustang%20To,scene%20of%20a%20multiple%20murder." target="_blank">Mustang to Paducah</a> is Raul Ramos y Sanchez's newest, and--in this reviewer's opinion--best work to date. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">What could be more iconic than a shiny new Ford Mustang in the 1960's?

However, this is not the story of an action hero like Harrison Ford, it's more like a comic duo Cheech and Chong, the two hippies from the 1960's. This book is definitely a comedy. It is quick paced and fun.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">This is also a period piece, so you may find yourself immersed in the 1960s like Forrest Gump. An interesting wrinkle in this story is that one of the characters, Nestor "Cruiser" Cruz, was born in Cuba but has lived in America since age 11 and considers himself fully Americanized. But reminders of his heritage pop up in unexpected ways.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Has Hollywood ever made a comedy about the 1960s? If not, why not? Hurry the hell up before we die, how about? <i>Mustang to Paducah</i> could be the perfect vehicle. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>The Village Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916370177299816244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-36859840555467376112022-06-26T16:18:00.038-07:002022-06-28T05:10:14.297-07:00 Elvis Lives!

I give this one five stars. I don't get why some of the early reviews were intensely negative, although in his career some people loved Elvis and some hated him. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">My family was an anti-Elvis family. My Dad liked Hank Snow, the former straight-laced touring mate of Elvis who thought that Elvis was immoral. My Mom was taught by American missionaries in Korea that all music except for European classical music was created by and for barbarians (literally). They were especially taught not to play drums. So she wasn't much of a fan either. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I didn't recognize Tom Hanks, who deserves an Oscar. I had never heard of Austin Butler prior to this film, but he too deserves an Oscar, because he makes Elvis come to life, especially on stage. It's easy to impersonate Elvis, but hard to make him real. Butler was remarkable. Like the old murder mysteries, Butler did it! </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I predict that this movie will trigger an Elvis revival this summer. Elvis has never really left the building, but our culture is really determined by those of us who are, say, 13 to 23 years old. Music is meant to be danced to by single people. It's in our blood from prehistory. It's how young men and women find each other, and that is exactly what is going to happen again. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">As an adult I have understood that Rock 'n Roll was tightly connected to the music of Africa and that the chord progressions are Scotch-Irish overlaid on the the African Blues Scale. But what I didn't realize was that Elvis was heavily and directly influenced by African American gospel music as a kid. I thought it was a cliche that Elvis was a white kid who sung black, but the movie made clear exactly what was meant. In fact, I didn't know much about Elvis as a child, so that part was totally new for me and very interesting. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In that way, Elvis truly connects African American and European cultures. It is much more than just sound. It's why the rest of the world is so fascinated by America. Maybe Americans have never fully understood or appreciated our unique role, and many have been terrified by it. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">As a period piece, it was a great movie. I am more than 20 years younger than Elvis, but we are close enough in age that I think I know what his world should look like and how it should feel, and, at least to me, they pretty much nailed it. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">One story that was not covered was the first concert north of the Mason-Dixon Line, which occurred in the Circle Theater in Cleveland in 1954. It's part of the rationale for locating the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The show was called <i>Hillbilly Jamboree</i> and two of the people in the audience included my future parents, Byron Kennel and Sook Cha Lee. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The version I heard was that the screaming was definitely for real, but they did not know who this kid was and they were not impressed. My mother supposedly fell asleep, but my theory is that this was an act of passive aggression to show how mad she was at being taken to a crowd of literal barbarians. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">But later, I realized that this fusion of African and Scotch Irish music was the most awesome sound God could ever give humanity. My parents didn't think so, but it was. This is what made us Americans.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It took me back into the 1960s. Even though I saw Elvis through a teen's eyes, my kid's brain was recording information back then, and probably working better then than it is now, to be quite candid. I remember the phenomenon quite clearly, the good and the bad. The movie took me back and gave me an earlier starting point on his life, and of course told the story from the inside, rather than from the perspective of a fan or outsider. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It would be so interesting to learn how today's teenagers will view this movie. My kids have not seen it yet. I wonder if they will reignite the craze, or whether they will figure, well, we've seen Elvis impersonators before, so it's not big of a deal. I have to believe things are going to get All Shook Up before the summer is over. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Elvis Lives!! </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>The Village Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916370177299816244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-19147413552170251812022-04-12T20:11:00.047-07:002022-04-18T14:13:54.543-07:00Is Vladimir Putin Too Big to Fail?<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjys-ickFoOTTevKRbe3ShNktxsfaXmHqc8EyTOJQfzSJVusTHuWkIy7geVJUY3J9eO9JbuR5q3b44t0yfmafeUpOf5HwAJumjop67tjm1PPlj3zIa09zz2v8IAdlP6LNsHNiXg53uULs0YnDezSujTcgs2hKttlkM7QIeDv4QNB5q966cZlXJzxCs6" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1160" data-original-width="1880" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjys-ickFoOTTevKRbe3ShNktxsfaXmHqc8EyTOJQfzSJVusTHuWkIy7geVJUY3J9eO9JbuR5q3b44t0yfmafeUpOf5HwAJumjop67tjm1PPlj3zIa09zz2v8IAdlP6LNsHNiXg53uULs0YnDezSujTcgs2hKttlkM7QIeDv4QNB5q966cZlXJzxCs6=w640-h394" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Is Vladimir Putin too big too fail? That is, the United States is so fearful of the potential for what he might do--nuclear retaliation or other weapons of mass destruction, that the US does not wish to provoke him by allowing the Ukraine to defeat him. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Witness when the Ukrainians blew up a fuel depot in Russian territory, CNN referred to that action as "<a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2022/04/01/russia-fuel-depot-belgorod-ukraine-map-dozier-newday-vpx.cnn" target="_blank">Biden's worst nightmare</a>." Apparently Zelenskiy's military is supposed to just sit there and take it, and this is regarded as sound policy, and I find that disturbing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If we are not going to allow Putin to be damaged too severely, what about the business of calling him "War Criminal" and demanding that he stand trial? This assures that there will not be a negotiated end to the war. Why would Putin sign a peace treaty that results in him being tried, found guilty of being a War Criminal and punished accordingly (i.e., certainly being removed from power and being sent to jail)? Do we in the West sincerely believe he is going to passively agree to this? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If there is nothing good that happens, no relief from sanctions, only a jail term, good luck waiting for Putin to agree.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also good luck waiting for a military coup in Russia or fair elections. This news flash just in--the electoral process in Russia is not fair and the elections are not real. It is a dictatorship, and dictators generally do not lose elections. Admittedly, Putin is not all powerful and there is some chance that a coup could occur. Russia had a coup in 1917 and one in 1991 which failed. But if the American plan is to wait for Russia to solve its Putin problem by itself it may be a very long time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The American plan for handling Putin is a fear-based initiative. We are so fearful of what he might do. Hence the US approach appears to be to continue the war and maintain the status quo. We apparently feel the need to resist the temptation to support Ukraine too strongly, such that it might offend Comrade Putin. We will not allow, for example, Poland to send MIG aircraft to the Ukrainians because that would be considered a provocation, although it is okay to send anti-tank missiles and hand-held munitions and the like. Limited engagement seems to be the desire, small successes, but we must also protect Comrade Putin and not get him too upset lest he become even more insane than he is already. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Okay? So no aircraft for Ukraine, no A-10 tank killers, nothing that might result in the Ukraine actually winning. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The amount of money that the US has sent in military aid is a pathetically small about: about $2.5 billion dollars at the time of this writing. That 's about three tenths of one percent of our defense budget for the fight that we believe is the most serious since World War II. By comparison, Girl Scout cookies generate about $800 million in revenue each year, so the US has contributed about three times as much money as Girl Scout cookie sales. Maybe President Biden can hold a series of patriotic bake sales to help out our friends in the Ukraine? It's ridiculous. The only conclusion is that we are afraid of Comrade Putin and will not allow him to lose and cause him to lose his temper. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here in Beavercreek Ohio, my family lives only a few miles from the largest Air Force Base in the world. We know we are going to be targeted if there is a nuclear exchange with Russia. But there is no risk-free solution. Placating Putin carries as much or greater risk than opposing him. Speaking for myself, I wish our government had some balls and would go for the win in Ukraine. We have to take a stand. Perpetual Iraq-style war is not the answer. Throw the Russian bastards out of Ukraine. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the same time, there should be a path for a negotiated peace. President Biden has needlessly closed this off. He has to shut up about putting Putin on trial for War Crimes. Does anyone believe that Putin will voluntarily appear in court? This can only happen if there is an unconditional surrender or a coup, and this is simply not realistic. The President's needlessly provocative talk is harmful and has ended the negotiation process rather than promoting it. Biden has to offer something good that will happen if Russia agrees to pull out, like lifting some of the embargos or sanctions and allowing Putin to keep his job. If nothing positive can be offered under any conditions, there will never be an agreement to end the war, it's as simple as that.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The current US policy is name-calling and promises of imprisonment, thereby ensuring that a negotiated peace is impossible. At the same time, the US is too fearful to allow a Ukrainian military victory, so we wish to protect Comrade Putin and prevent him from failing and getting too upset. Putin is too big to fail. The American approach of appeasement on the one hand, combined with refusal to permit a negotiated settlement on the other, is totally inadequate. We shall sit on the sidelines and cheer for Ukraine as their country is destroyed, and call Putin some bad names and feel that we are accomplishing something. That appears to be our plan, and it is disgusting. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><p></p>The Village Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916370177299816244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-89188742179004182812022-03-12T07:56:00.001-08:002022-03-21T15:26:42.490-07:00Americans should not be boycotting local Russian restaurants and businesses <p> <span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimGOB1Rds3OeGC7qF9mjuGhn6O3HIgyzjqhFRGDp3HCvPe04weJUcLzg3PBqMwoPAN9toCjOGKScCFvmyyzpYX9I4Mftri2ey7onouOSj_Uiiy3Pgr9Wpnb_hBITQclrNYoBu-tdheX6PSDwmLcxsQs0fvpo_on6WH24ZqPT7Xt8i0Z3WnS7kpy4zd1g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimGOB1Rds3OeGC7qF9mjuGhn6O3HIgyzjqhFRGDp3HCvPe04weJUcLzg3PBqMwoPAN9toCjOGKScCFvmyyzpYX9I4Mftri2ey7onouOSj_Uiiy3Pgr9Wpnb_hBITQclrNYoBu-tdheX6PSDwmLcxsQs0fvpo_on6WH24ZqPT7Xt8i0Z3WnS7kpy4zd1g=w565-h316" width="565" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">First of all, I am all in favor of boycotting Russian oil. Hell yes! Don't feed the dog that is trying to bite your arm off. That is common sense. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What is not common sense is boycotting Russian restaurants and local Russian-American small businesses owned by people who were your friends last month. They are still your friends. Nevertheless, news reports from around the country say that business is down in Russian restaurants all over the country, and presumably affecting other Russian small businesses as well. Does this make sense to anyone?</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Look, they didn't invade Ukraine. They came to America to GET AWAY from Russia, because they WANTED to live in America. They are not advising Comrade Putin on invading Ukraine. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Come on, man!

This makes no sense. None whatsoever. People who left Russia to come to America are the most Anti-Putin, Anti-Communist people on earth. They are the most willing to send their sons and daughters to fight in our Armed Forces and defend our freedoms. There could not be anybody more American than people who have suffered under authoritarian rule elsewhere and come to America. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Even in Russia, Putin is much less popular than most of you believe. He controls the media, jails people he doesn't like, so of course he wins elections with monster majorities and opinion polls always favor him. People are afraid to tell the truth. That's not the same as liking him. Every day, the police haul off thousands of protestors and throw them in jail. That's not the same as supporting the war or unifying the country. </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It is hard to prove, but my guess is that even in Russia the majority of Russians know Putin is a liar, oppose his war and want him out or dead. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Hence, even in Russia, not all Russian people are on Putin's side. In America, the overwhelming majority support America over Putin, of this we can be certain. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Okay, so let's go to a Russian restaurant, shall we? </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">First of all, I'm addicted to Russian rye bread. Not everyone likes it because it is much harder than the American version, so Americans might think the Russian version is almost stale. But I greatly prefer it. You have to put butter on it, and caviar is a usual option. Or you might try it with cheese or hard sausage. Also, everybody tries Ukrainian-Russian borscht. It's beet soup, which doesn't sound tasty, but it is. Very sweet and loaded with vitamin C. A bowl of borscht and you know you're getting something healthy. Olivier salad is kind of like American potato salad but has peas, carrots, boiled eggs, diced meats and so that it is much more perky than potato salad. Awesome. In Cleveland, where I am from which is practically a Polish colony, pierogi is a standard staple. The Russian version is </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">pirozhki, which is kind of like a cross between a shepherd's pie and a pierogi. It has a more bready texture but like a pierogi can be filled with either meat, vegetable or potatoes. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Beef stroganoff is a well-known go-to favorite, </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Kamchatka crab, if you like seafood. </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Most of the meat dishes seem to have meat as one ingredient among many, like a casserole, rather than a huge cut of meat like a steak or prime rib like in America. So although many dishes have meat in them, it is hard to go into an outright meat coma like in America. </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Try medovik (honey cake) for desert. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I might recommend to you Russian restaurant owners,</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> as a practical matter, </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">that the sign in front of the restaurant needs to be changed to Ukrainian-Russian restaurant, and you need to add Chicken Kyiv and a few other choice dishes to the menu (spelled with the Ukrainian transliteration). Yellow and blue on the menu will help your business also in this emotionally-charged time. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">All Americans ought to consider supporting restaurants and other these businesses, dropping the foolish notion that restaurant owners are collaborating with Putin to invade Ukraine. </span></p>.The Village Elliot.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04067573537341001185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-31164235474922561592022-02-28T10:19:00.010-08:002022-02-28T12:54:49.517-08:00Putin: This is what happens when you believe your own propaganda<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhYmXugEB1jw-5xHeSoOl1JWJPNVenkswzFA5L806XqvgXG2xmDWE3CEGQQW_XQvoEkZpF6UzOBaY1ba3694rmlaSy7LrYWr53kqh-kJ_cxmHJ0-S_ZPQeHWaxJPZrONQg2aFCLWrU113QEBKR2tCSwAFHVrFnZmShLzIGaTzooOAD8391EdnACf3w8RA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="549" data-original-width="976" height="355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhYmXugEB1jw-5xHeSoOl1JWJPNVenkswzFA5L806XqvgXG2xmDWE3CEGQQW_XQvoEkZpF6UzOBaY1ba3694rmlaSy7LrYWr53kqh-kJ_cxmHJ0-S_ZPQeHWaxJPZrONQg2aFCLWrU113QEBKR2tCSwAFHVrFnZmShLzIGaTzooOAD8391EdnACf3w8RA=w631-h355" width="631" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Comrade Putin probably expected that his military would be greeted as liberators, and that he would be viewed as the Great Unifier of the Slavic peoples. Oops. That is what happens when you believe your own propaganda. This has been a terrible miscalculation and the world is suffering the consequences. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">As a former military guy, I wondered why he did not follow the plan of US General Colin Powell versus Iraq in Desert Storm. That war was for totally bogus purposes (there were no weapons of mass destruction, okay?) but my point in bringing it up is to ask how does a superpower take down a formidable opponent? First, you bomb the hell out of him for about a month, destroy his capability to resist and THEN send the ground forces in to do battle. The Americans respected the ability of the Iraqi military to fight back and destroyed it. It is horrifying to say so, but American leadership was not that concerned about preserving the economy of the country or its people. The main task was to destroy the military and its ability to resist. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">As for Comrade Putin, a few days before the attack, he first lectured the West about our ignorance of the history of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples. He told us all about how the Russians and Ukrainians are essentially one people and the boundaries and creation of the Ukrainian state are essentially a sham imposed by outsiders. It seems that he wanted to be friends when this process is over. Hence, he did not want to cause great destruction. He wanted to move in, achieve an easy occupation, and achieve a joyful reunion with his lost Ukrainian brothers and sisters and overcome the painfully incompetent leadership of the Communists of the past, replacing it with the brilliant leadership of... himself. He would be greeted as a liberator, and the great unifier of the Slavic people. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Okay, all this is fine, and you can tell all the ignorant West all about how it should be. But you know what? <i><b>The Ukrainians ain't buying it either, Volodya. </b></i> I don't think the Russian people hold much actual hatred for the Ukrainians (especially prior to the 2014 war of Crimean annexation), but if the Ukrainians didn't hate the Russians before this war, they do now.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It is probably easier to take over Ukraine than to administer it. As long as firearms can be smuggled into the country, no Russian administrator will ever be safe, because any Ukrainian with the ability to operate a firearm, will be a threat to shoot the administrator on sight. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This is a disaster. Ironically, Putin was probably correct in some of what he said, prior to starting the war. Long term, Ukrainians and Russians are basically friendly to one another on a personal level, and can understand each other's language and share common history and religion. But on a governmental level, Ukrainians and other nationalities of the former Soviet Union have no affinity for Putin's control. In fact Russian people may not be all that wild about him, either, but they can't get rid of him since their elections are not real. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">So now we are on nuclear alert to preserve his sense of power. I am a bit concerned about that since I live a few miles away from an Air Force base and I am sure that several bombs have targeted us. Regardless, however, I am sure that the world will oppose Putin by any means necessary. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>.The Village Elliot.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04067573537341001185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-4091978784344980472021-10-16T08:29:00.001-07:002021-10-16T08:29:57.016-07:00Covid-19 Political Duopoly Grows Stronger due to Covid Controversy<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4A1s4moLEUs/YWhCqtj0wKI/AAAAAAAAB_Q/T2ekqe5rWD4BOpW4gQ1iwPisRK0of35zACLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="426" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4A1s4moLEUs/YWhCqtj0wKI/AAAAAAAAB_Q/T2ekqe5rWD4BOpW4gQ1iwPisRK0of35zACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/image.png" width="640" /></a></div>Downloaded from https://pixabay.com/de/illustrations/ufo-covid-19-corona-virus-5177929/ <br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The reason we have a bitter Covid-19 controversy is because the political duopoly between the Democratic Party and Republic Party thrives on controversy. What should be a simple matter of a lifesaving recommendation and gentle tolerance for those who wish to refrain from accepting the gift of vaccination is instead a bitter war between political left and right that has the side effect of generating millions of dollars of revenue for the parties and for media outlets that thrive on controversy. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">A Covid-19 controversy will generate plenty of guaranteed revenue for both sides. It's wonderful, absolutely wonderful, and the parties will do what is necessary to support it even though the individuals within each party may think that it is a winnable battle. They have conditioned themselves to do what is necessary to support their party. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The reader is referred to articles such as "Fixing U.S. Politics: What business can—and must—do to revitalize democracy" by Katherine M. Gehl and Michael E. Porter from the Harvard Business Review Magazine (July–August 2020). Their convincing thesis is that the political parties act to promote the interests of the political parties. Is that a shocker? Needless to say, they do not promote the interests of the country, and they are happiest when there are long standing controversies that divide the nation and result in contributions and advertising revenue to pour in to strengthen both sides.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Hence it is perfectly understandable why we are not going to discuss Covid-19. Instead, we shall bark orders about it, shout about, protest about it, implement draconian policies about it and do everything we can to antagonize people along party lines. These actions result in a healthy political economy, and those involved in the decision making process are making good money and establishing strong career paths. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">So it is with Covid-19. The pro-vaccination policies are implemented with the most heavy-handed and obnoxious rhetoric possible. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">The debate is not civil. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">The anti-vax dissenters claim that personal freedom and the future of the the Republic are at stake. They are cloaked in robes of red, white and blue righteousness. It is emotionally charged on both sides, for no real reason. This makes no sense, unless you ask what sells advertising money on talk radio, facebook, social media and news networks? Answer: heavy-handed obnoxious rhetoric and un-civil, emotionally charged debate. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This is not a conspiracy theory, just stating the the obvious, simple fact that this is a good businesss practice within the politics industry. Once you recognize that politics is an industry, rather than a holy, public-serving institution, the principles of making money within the industry are simple and clear. Hate sells. Mother Teresa of Calcutta could never host an AM talk radio show.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">Covid-19 is going to cost America trillions of dollars. However, the political industry will strongly benefit from the Covid-19 controversy. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div><br /></div></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>The Village Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916370177299816244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-37948692903473036182021-02-27T16:09:00.007-08:002021-02-28T14:38:15.787-08:00Ned Rasor, Oтец термоэмиссионного преобразователь энергии <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4q4pMXKuDZs/YCiI0goiVxI/AAAAAAAAB34/804-hqTidCwNDP9jcTgCXNLD14ph1KoowCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-apM3y1EXKCQ/YDwa6aTpsBI/AAAAAAAAB4o/eaHkD4HUdloeLYhLoyKN6lE-E3qrzj9JgCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="clear: right; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="199" data-original-width="162" height="295" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-apM3y1EXKCQ/YDwa6aTpsBI/AAAAAAAAB4o/eaHkD4HUdloeLYhLoyKN6lE-E3qrzj9JgCLcBGAsYHQ/w240-h295/image.png" width="240" /></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4q4pMXKuDZs/YCiI0goiVxI/AAAAAAAAB34/804-hqTidCwNDP9jcTgCXNLD14ph1KoowCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /></a></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Поскольку у Nedа всегда было очень много друзей в сообществе термоэмиссий из России, я попытался рассказать его историю на русском языке с помощью «Google Translate». Надеюсь, ты сможешь это прочитать.EK</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Мне было грустно узнать, что Ned Rasor скончался из-за Covid-19 в канун прошлого года. Мне посчастливилось познакомиться с несколькими очень умными людьми в своей жизни, и Ned был поистине гением.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> Ned был известен созданием термоэмиссионного преобразования энергии. Фактически, Thomas Edison первым открыл это, но не знал, что это такое. Он увидел, что стекло возле углеродных нитей его первых лампочек через некоторое время почернело, но не знал почему. Поэтому он назвал это "Edison Effect," естественно, но не объяснил, что это было и как это произошло. Оказывается, его лампочки работали от постоянного напряжения, а отрицательная часть горячей углеродной нити испускала электроны и выделяла ионы углерода, когда на нее воздействовали положительные ионы. Углерод осаждается на стеклянной части колбы. Использование тепла для кипения электронов стало известно как термоэмиссия, и Нед стал одним из величайших мировых экспертов по этому вопросу.</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Ned полагал, что если бы у него была трубка, заполненная радиоактивным ядерным топливом, она бы начала испускать электроны, и он мог бы собирать электроны и производить электричество! Так родился термоэмиссионный ядерный реактор. Каждый раз, когда он придумывал решение, возникала проблема, но он находил встречное решение и другое встречное решение, и через некоторое время эта чертова штука начинала работать. Компании и правительства всего мира стремились создать эти ядерные реакторы для космических кораблей, которые должны были отправиться на Луну, Марс или в дальний космос.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Все это произошло в 1950-х и 1960-х, до меня. Я познакомился с ним около 1980 года. Однажды я представил его коллеге как «дедушку термоэлектроники», и это его немного рассердило.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> «Elliot, я слишком молод, чтобы быть дедушкой!» он протестовал. Так что с тех пор я называл его «дядей термоэмиссии». Казалось, это его удовлетворило. </div></span></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"> Ned </span><span style="font-family: arial;">и</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> несколько других ученых, включая меня, разделяли общее видение того, что термоэмиссионная версия должна стать международным усилием ядерных космических держав, во многом подобно термоядерной энергии и International Space Station. Мы должны использовать ядерную энергию для совместной колонизации космического пространства. Крупные державы не должны бороться за право оспаривать незначительные религиозные разногласия на Middle East не имеющие стратегического значения для истории человечества.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Несмотря на это общее видение, мы с Nedом все время ссорились. На мой взгляд, Термоэмиссия была его дочерью - э-э, племянницей - и по мере того, как она росла, она начала приобретать собственную личность и расти способами, которые он не мог предвидеть. Подобно тому, как родителям трудно отпустить ребенка, изобретателю трудно увидеть, как ребенок формирует новые отношения, в которые не входит папа. Тем не менее, я уверен, что Ned мог бы интерпретировать иначе, и это могло бы не льстить мне.</div></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Тем не менее технология Nedа имела поразительный успех. Наши коллеги в России объявили в конце 1980-х, что они запустили термоэмиссионный ядерный реактор в космос.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Это вызвало шок в американском аэрокосмическом истеблишменте. Многие из них не могли поверить, что изобретение Rasorа действительно работает. Другие не могли поверить, что российские ученые так далеко опередили американцев. В этом бизнесе неловко, когда вы говорите, что что-то невозможно сделать, а потом кто-то действительно это делает, а затем запускает это в космос, а вы все еще спорите, почему это невозможно.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Но Ned действительно не считал это личной победой. Он сказал мне: «Эллиот, я сконструировал эти устройства 25 лет назад. Сейчас они для меня старомодны. Скучно! Теперь мы можем добиться большего. Я хочу увидеть, как используется новое поколение термоэлектронных преобразователей».</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Ned делал и многое другое. Например, однажды он сделал термоэмиссионный кардиостимулятор с ядерным источником энергии и испытал его на собаке по кличке «Tick», которую он в конце концов взял в качестве домашнего питомца. У него было несколько других медицинских устройств, которые просто как бы всплыли в его сознании и стали изобретениями, хотя он на самом деле намеренно не решил стать специалистом по медицинским приборам.</span></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Расскажу одну глупую историю про Nedа. Однажды мы были на конференции в бывшей Республике Грузия, как раз в то время, когда Советский Союз распадался, и курсы обмена валют были очень благоприятными для американцев. Так что у нас была возможность совершить поездку по местному рынку. Мы наткнулись на местный стенд, где продавали украшения, на мой необразованный взгляд, несколько напоминающие стиль Ближнего Востока. Мы не были экспертами, но могли сказать, что это настоящие драгоценные камни, но продавались по очень низким ценам, например, всего несколько долларов.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Ned посмотрел на них и сказал: «Ого, это действительно дешево! Может, мне стоит купить немного для Genny».</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Всегда было так ясно, что Ned действительно любит и уважает свою жену Genny. Он всегда думал о ней, когда был в отъезде.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Я сказал: «Ned, я знаю, что ты гений и знаешь гораздо больше, чем я ... но я считаю, что знаю Дженни достаточно хорошо, чтобы сказать, что если ты найдешь для нее подарок, у него должен быть какой-то другой атрибут, помимо того, что он действительно дешевый. ! "</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Ned засмеялся и согласился, признав, что не имеет никакого эстетического представления о модных украшениях. На этот раз он последовал моему совету.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Ned обладал невероятной энергией и энтузиазмом к науке и исследованиям и смог привлечь к работе на себя самых умных и хороших людей.</span></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Я продолжал с интересом следить за его последними статьями. Даже на пенсии он создавал новые способы повышения эффективности термоэлектронных преобразователей. Я думаю, что некоторые из них тоже могут сработать.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p>The Village Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916370177299816244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-74573687720912710092021-02-23T19:31:00.002-08:002021-02-28T09:26:07.052-08:00Ned Rasor, the Father of Thermionic Energy Conversion<p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4q4pMXKuDZs/YCiI0goiVxI/AAAAAAAAB34/804-hqTidCwNDP9jcTgCXNLD14ph1KoowCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="199" data-original-width="162" height="368" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4q4pMXKuDZs/YCiI0goiVxI/AAAAAAAAB34/804-hqTidCwNDP9jcTgCXNLD14ph1KoowCLcBGAsYHQ/w276-h368/image.png" width="276" /></a><br /> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">I was sad to learn that Ned Rasor passed away due to Covid this past New Year's Eve. I have been lucky to know a number of very smart people in my life, and Ned was truly a genius.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ned was famous for creating thermionic energy conversion. Actually, Thomas Edison discovered it first, but did not know what it was. He saw that the glass near the carbon filaments of his early light bulbs turned black after a while, but didn't know why. So he called it the "Edison Effect," naturally enough, but did not really explain what it was or how it happened. It turns out that his light bulbs operated on DC voltage, and the negative part of the hot carbon filament emitted electrons and gave off carbon ions when positive ions impacted it. The carbon would deposit on the glass part of the bulb. The use of heat to boil of electrons came to be known as thermionic emission, and Ned became one of the world's greatest experts on the subject. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ned figured, if he had a tube filled with radioactive nuclear fuel, it would start to emit electrons, and he could collect the electrons and make electricity! So thus was born the thermionic nuclear reactor. Every time he came up with a solution there was a problem, but he came up with a counter solution, and a counter-counter solution, and after a while the darn thing started to work. Companies and governments around the world stared to actually make these nuclear reactors for spacecraft that were intended to go to the moon or Mars, or deep space. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">All this happened in the 1950s and 1960s, before my time. I met him around 1980. I once introduced him to a colleague as the "Granddaddy of thermionics," and that made him a little mad. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">"Elliot, I'm too young to be the Granddaddy!" he protested. So from then on I called him the Uncle of Thermionics. That seemed to satisfy him.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ned and several other scientists including myself shared a common vision that thermionic version should be an international effort among the nuclear spacefaring nations, much like fusion energy and the International Space Station. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Despite that common vision, Ned and I used to squabble all the time. As I saw it, Thermionics was his baby--er, niece--and as she grew she started to take on a personality of her own and grow in ways that he could not have predicted. Just as it is tough for a parent to let go of a child, an inventor has a hard time seeing the child form new relationships that do not involve Uncle. That said, I am certain that Ned would have a different interpretation, and it might not be flattering to me. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Nevertheless, Ned's technology was an amazing success. Our colleagues in Russia had announced in in the late 1980s that they had launched a thermionic nuclear reactor into outer space.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">This sent shock waves through the American aerospace establishment. Many of them couldn't believe Rasor's invention actually worked. Others could not believe the Russian scientists were so far ahead of the Americans. It always sucks in this business when you say something can't be done, and then someone hauls off and does it, and then launches it into outer space, while you are still arguing why it is impossible. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">But Ned really, truly did not regard it as a personal victory. He told me, "Elliot, I designed those devices 25 years ago. They are old fashioned to me now. Boring! We can do better now. I want to see a new generation of thermionic converters being used." </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ned did many other things as well. For example, once he made a thermionic pacemaker with a nuclear power source, and tested it in a dog named "Tick" that he eventually adopted as a pet. He had several other medical devices that just sort of popped into his consciousness and became inventions, without his really having intentionally set out to be a medical instrumentation specialist. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">I'll tell one silly story about Ned. One time we were at a conference in the former Republic of Georgia, right at the time when the Soviet Union was dissolving and currency exchange rates were very favorable for Americans. So we had the chance to tour the local marketplace. We came upon a local stand where they were selling jewelry, to my uneducated eye somewhat similar to a Middle Eastern kind of style. We were not experts, but we could tell, they were real gemstones, but were being sold for prices that made no sense, like only a few dollars. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ned looked them over and said, "Wow, this stuff is really cheap! Maybe I should buy some for Genny."<br /><br />It was always so clear that Ned really loved and revered his wife Genny. He was always thinking of her when he was away. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">I said, "Ned, I know you are a genius and know far more than me....but I believe I know Genny well enough to say if you find a present for her, it should have some other attribute besides being really cheap!"</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ned laughed and agreed, and admitted he had no aesthetic sense for what constituted fashionable jewelry. For once he took my advice.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ned had unbelievable energy and enthusiasm for science and research, and was able to attract some of the smartest--and nicest--people to work for him. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">I continued to follow his recent papers with interest. Even in his retirement, he was creating new ways to make thermionic converters operate more efficiently. I think some of them might work, too. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>The Village Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916370177299816244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-6182396906784579162021-01-03T13:26:00.007-08:002021-01-03T14:49:13.472-08:00By Any Means Necessary-Malcolm X and Donald Trump Share Some Common Ground<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XiIskByFYyk/X_HRBEr_WvI/AAAAAAAAB1o/Ux0tCivGg18rw61QVbds_iHWNZ-fU_4ggCLcBGAsYHQ/s680/edit-malcolm-x-donald-trump-680x365_c.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="365" data-original-width="680" height="344" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XiIskByFYyk/X_HRBEr_WvI/AAAAAAAAB1o/Ux0tCivGg18rw61QVbds_iHWNZ-fU_4ggCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h344/edit-malcolm-x-donald-trump-680x365_c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">What? Did I just compare 1960's Civil Rights radical Malcolm X to President Trump? Yes, and Americans, have never really understood either one. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Malcolm X had a cause that he believed in passionately and he believed in fighting for that cause passionately, even though he understood that the majority was against him, even within the African-American community. He regularly feuded with Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. and had several pet nicknames for him, some of which cannot be repeated here because they just do not meet social correctness standards of the present century. Understand, Malcolm X was not about establishing rules of Democracy. He did not just say, "Gee, I've been outvoted! Well, golly, I'll pack up and go home now." No, realizing he was in the minority within a minority, he nevertheless solidiered on, fighting for his cause, <i><b>by any means necessary</b>. </i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Those words have a chilling effect on mainstream society and well they might. MIght they imply protests? Work stoppages? Boycotts? Political tampering? Some sort of paramilitary action? Maybe. If it is necessary to achieve the goal, yes. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Now, in my personal opinion, I felt that towards the end of his life Malcolm X, started to moderate his views somewhat, and was not interested in creating chaos for the sake of chaos. But his assassination curtailed that chapter in his life so we will never know how it might have turned out. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The liberal left has a great deal of difficulty understanding the appeal that the President had to African Americans in the last election, figuring that that the Biden-Harris ticket should have pocketed all those votes more or less automatically. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Malcolm X was frequently critical of white liberals, comparing them to foxes, while conservatives were more like scary wolves, and African Americans were compared to sheep. The foxes might seem cute and appealling, but somehow they are the ones that eat lamb chops every night. That line would get a big laugh at his speeches. White people may not find it so amusing. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Hence some African-Americans, especially those who favor self reliance and who are suspicious of over-dependence on white liberals, were willing to vote Republican in the last election, though the majority still sided with the Democrats. Some might even be considered to be on the radical left, but were more comfortable with the wolfish Trump rather than foxy Biden. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">President Trump is like Malcolm X in the sense that he also has a cause that he is passionate about and will fight for. He too will fight to win<i> <b>by any means necessary </b></i>and is not committed to the democratic process any more than Malcolm X was. If the election did not work, his only question is whether there are other alternatives through the legislature, the courts, the military or some other mechanism that might be used to stay in power. All that matters is, will it work? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Thus, it should not be shocking that the President is seeking to overturn the results of the election.The democratic process is not number one on his agenda. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">It is not insane to support the President, just as it was not insane to support Malcolm X. Reasonable people can disagree about what is reasonable to support. Definitely the alternative to President Trump--Joe Biden as the lawfully elected representative of the American people--is a very poor candidate, the result of a party that has too much power and was able to successfully exclude younger capable candidates. However, supporting President Trump's ill-advised attempts to stay in office is incompatible with democracy as with we know it. </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Americans will have to choose between Trumpism and the will of the people, because they are simply not the same. Trump seeks to win<i><b> by any means necessary</b></i>, not by vote of the Electoral College. </span></p>The Village Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916370177299816244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-57671812321976016312020-08-29T13:19:00.005-07:002020-08-29T13:21:01.044-07:00Chadwick Boseman, Movie Hero Among Heros<p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-az6TpLQwdj8/X0qwMs5daOI/AAAAAAAABus/Ok5SBak1xqA-s0BetUPGIfM42Wc_ubFXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1918/Black%2BPanther.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1079" data-original-width="1918" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-az6TpLQwdj8/X0qwMs5daOI/AAAAAAAABus/Ok5SBak1xqA-s0BetUPGIfM42Wc_ubFXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Black%2BPanther.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><p></p><p> <span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I am stunned by the news of the passing of Chadwick Boseman, who was not just a movie star for me, but an iconic cultural revolution. I don't really know much about Boseman as a person, but his portrayal of T'Challa, the Chief of Wakanda, Black Panther was enough to cement his place in history. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This is not just a movie. It is the first time Hollywood--as a true reflection of American society-- overcame its stupid racism long enough to make an Afrocentric superhero movie. I believe it has unleashed a vision, a dream deferred that may awaken the imagination of millions of people</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">For decades Hollywood turned up its nose at rowdy Stan Lee and Marvel comics, ever since the first superhero movie (Robin Hood, in 1939). Nobody in Hollywood thought paying customers would want to watch the likes of Spider-man or Captain-America, and if they were worried about those fellows they were absolutely petrified of Africans with their own superhero. The cultural ramifications were enormous. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">You know what? They were right. They showed for the first time a VISION of a leader striving for social justice in an unjust world. They also showed African controlling advanced technologies at the cutting edge of global advancement.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">If you look at past superhero movies set in Africa (such as Tarzan or the Phantom), the African people are poor and technologically backward. They really need a white fellow to tell them what to do and to save them from bad guys. </span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The Black Panther, on the other hand, is visually stunning and beautiful. If there were no superheros and no action in it all, it would be a great movie because of the lush scenery and the beautiful African costumes, that combine traditionalism and the modern world. The people never chose to give up their culture to act like westerners. They kept their culture while advancing in high tech, thanks to their accomplishments, which started with a near magic metal, but spread to metals and other high tech beyond the capabilities of even Stark Industries. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This is the vision I believe America needs. Yes, you can be an African kid and you can be on a spaceship that colonizes Mars. You can invent medicine that cures cancer. You can build a building taller than anyone else has ever built before. You can do all of these things, and you don't have to give up your identity, your roots or your culture. This is the vision for America.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Hollywood, despite its wretchedness and racism was amazed to find that people actually watched a movie about Africans. The Marvel Crew, with direction and production that relied heavily upon a culturally diverse crew (i.e, with the white guys doing their best to stay out of the way this time) knocked it out of the park yet again. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">My prediction is it is going to change the way children think about themselves. Superheroes help us to dare to do the impossible. Up until Black Panther, American expectations for persons of African descent were much more limited. Truly, fairy tales and superheros have a role in the human psyche. The ability to dream powerful dreams is very important. The suppression of these dreams, even in a movie, may seem like a minor thing, but to me it was very wrong and it persisted for decades. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Chadwick Boseman and his colleagues smashed the stereotypes into pieces. It was a masterpiece, and freeing on so many levels. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">A similar story could be written about Gal Gadot and Wonder Woman. For decades, Hollywood would not let a female superheroine have her own story, and would not let real-world women direct or produce it. I can't wait to see the next Wonder Woman.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">But the next Black Panther movie will have something missing in it. I cannot believe that Chadwick is gone. God bless you and your family, friends and fans. Your contribution will never be forgotten and it is only now starting to be appreciated. </span></p>The Village Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916370177299816244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-88207542468042545982020-08-05T10:54:00.004-07:002020-08-05T12:18:06.851-07:00Froschauer Bible pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iOpqZ-iRjBI/XysFJkuaMiI/AAAAAAAABtI/Qf9TpP9toUAO0XBm86WpbR1kAoniNHwWQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1008/IMG_1341.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="756" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iOpqZ-iRjBI/XysFJkuaMiI/AAAAAAAABtI/Qf9TpP9toUAO0XBm86WpbR1kAoniNHwWQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/IMG_1341.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">List of Johannes Kennel's children.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>The Village Elliothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916370177299816244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801613569339727314.post-40839440006159469182020-07-23T19:10:00.000-07:002020-07-24T03:21:44.516-07:00The Right to Infect<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gsU5PPgEz4s/Xxqpp_UA4UI/AAAAAAAAGTA/zgQjWD4eXUw2PePdXsUqcm0ibHFSpCqMQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/corona%2Bparty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="189" data-original-width="267" height="452" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gsU5PPgEz4s/Xxqpp_UA4UI/AAAAAAAAGTA/zgQjWD4eXUw2PePdXsUqcm0ibHFSpCqMQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/corona%2Bparty.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Just because a man makes the decision to use a condom does not mean he is weak and fears becoming pregnant, so why does it offend someone's sense of masculinity to wear a mask to protect others from potential transmission of Covid-19? </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A man wears a condom to protect someone he loves from getting a dreaded disease or having an unwanted pregnancy, right? So everyone, men and women, should willingly wear masks and gloves to slow down the transmission of Covid-19, by the same logic. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I realized how foolish and naive I am. The fact of the matter is that in this society, it is indeed a sign of great weakness to wear a condom and to give consideration to the needs of others. The numbers say that there are enormous numbers of HIV, HERPES, STD and unwanted pregnancies routinely transmitted. The New York Times reported that at any point in time there are <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/29/health/chlamydia-syphilis-gonorrhea.html" target="_blank">110 million sexually transmitted diseases in the US.</a> I found that number hard to believe, but checking with the <a href="https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/sexually-transmitted-diseases#:~:text=The%20Centers%20for%20Disease%20Control,much%20as%20%2416%20billion%20annually." target="_blank">Center for Disease Control in the US, they claim there are 24 million new cases of sexually transmitted cases per year</a>. That is several times higher than the birth rate. So totally preventable diseases are more or less freely transmitted in American society. It is the norm. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The numbers show that men surely do NOT protect their lovers from these terrible outcomes. I joked about men having no fear of becoming pregnant, but they are not afraid of getting women pregnant, either. Condom companies are obviously lousy investments, because evidently almost nobody is using them. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you are one of the few men who are using a condom, God bless you.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Evidently, however, many men are willfully transmitting these diseases to women who foolishly trust that their men are telling the truth that they do not have the ability to transmit these diseases ("trust me, I'm sure I'm clean, baby") or that they are willing to be responsible for the outcome ("of course I'll respect you in the morning!"). These are lies, of course. Numbers this huge cannot be accidental. There is a very high probability of transmitting the disease, not like Covid-19 in which at any point in time the chances of being a transmitting carrier is rather low. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hence, there is a pervasive belief in the right to infect others, and the right to lie. So if men are not going to wear condoms and are willing to tell lies in order to avoid using them, they sure as hell do not care one iota about wearing a mask to save your life from Covid-19. Get serious. Protecting the health of a random member of the public from a serious but usually temporary illness is just not that high of a priority once they have deliberately given their lover a disease that may have lifetime implications. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Only a minority of people are considerate enough to take even the smallest of actions to help each other.. The rest are just going to cough on you and feel that it is part of their constitutional rights. It probably isn't, but you would have to go to court to prove it, so good luck with that. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For that matter, if you get too close, you may also wind up with herpes, AIDS, venereal disease and what will you name the baby? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">No mask.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">No condom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">No responsibility. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">No regrets.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In that context, it is very understandable why many people, especially men are offended by the idea of being asked to wear a mask. Sadly, it is considered un-American by many of us and will take a long time to change. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm wearing my masks and gloves anyway, to protect even stupid people who believe I am un-American and unmasculine. I accept those terms. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ROMrAFs1B6E/XweeqtDZ90I/AAAAAAAABkg/0nSVpmukldMGwQnb1U3W7z3JJwaKEWbfwCK4BGAsYHg/s1084/Covid%2BSweden%2Band%2BOhio.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="696" data-original-width="1084" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ROMrAFs1B6E/XweeqtDZ90I/AAAAAAAABkg/0nSVpmukldMGwQnb1U3W7z3JJwaKEWbfwCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h400/Covid%2BSweden%2Band%2BOhio.jpg" width="625" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Why are new cases per capita of Covid-19 apparently decreasing in Sweden even as critics blast the country for failing to control the disease? This is a statistically significant trend. I wish to make up my own mind about the situation and I find that the story lines published in media do not make logical sense to me. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Briefly, the situation is that the Swedish government imposed fewer mandatory restrictions on young, healthy people, while asking older, more vulnerable people to try to isolate themselves. The rest of the world asked everyone to isolate, healthy or not. The Swedish idea was that the general population would build up some level of resistance to the disease, keeping in mind that this disease has no cure and that there are no established right answers to refer to. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This suggests to me that the world urgently needs to be open minded and try to study and learn from what others are doing. Okay, the entire world has made mistakes starting with the highest medical authorities in the world, but we all have a job to do to look after one another, so let's assign blame later, shall we? </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If the Swedish concept was wrong, what we should have seen is a widespread exponential increase among the young less isolated young people, while the more isolated elderly people should be about the same as other like countries, right?</div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead, we see the opposite. The death rate among the elderly was very high early on, among the highest in Europe. The incidence of new cases in Sweden is now seen to be significantly decreasing. This is the exact opposite of what the critics predicted.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Incidentally, I have noticed that Swedish data for new cases goes up and down with a seven day cycle, apparently because their test rate varies during the week. I have plotted the per capita new infection rate for Sweden (blue) compared to the same stat for Ohio (red), where I live. Of course there are a number of variables that affect the number of cases, but Ohio is generally thought to have had a well controlled situation especially early on, while Sweden has become a target for world criticism. Nevertheless, for months they tracked similarly, at about 50 new cases per day per million residents (Sweden has about 10.2 million residents, Ohio 11.7 million so we are similar populations too). Recently Ohio has attempted to restart its economy and is seeing a rise in the number of new cases. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to NPR's Bill Chappell, (<i>Swedish Disease Expert Calls WHO's COVID-19 Warning 'A Total Mistake' June 26, 2020</i>) Swedish state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell says Dr. Hans Henri P. Kluge, the WHO's regional director for Europe, made "a total mistake"when it concluded Sweden is seeing a surge of coronavirus cases. Kluge said on Thursday that Sweden, among others, has "accelerated transmission has led to very significant resurgence that if left unchecked will push health systems to the brink once again in Europe." </div>
</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tegnell claims that this big June surge is simply due to increased testing. </div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Okay.....so.....IS IT TRUE? Since peaking on June 24, the Swedish incidence of new cases, is headed distinctly lower. Are they reporting fake data? Deaths peaked on April 15 and have been steadily decreasing ever since. Is it TRUE OR FAKE? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I've heard some experts say that Swedish society is way for away from being able to resist the disease based on the percentage of people who have antibodies present. Well, I'm not an expert but it seems to me that people do not fully understand this disease. Although many experts are disappointed in the percentage of the population in Sweden and elsewhere that carry Covid-19 antibodies, others have questioned the role that </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">T cells (T lymphocytes) might play in augmenting the human immune system. I'll have to defer to the experts to determine whether </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">T-cells actually change the equation for resisting and slowing down the disease. Maybe antibodies, T-cells, social distancing and some other x-factor all have roles to play and we ought not just dismiss it as nonsense. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I think everyone agrees that Sweden would like to have changed procedures to better protect the elderly, because the death rate as of April 15 was much too high, but that's not what this is about, is it? The question was whether they can avoid the catastrophe of an exponential increase in which a large fraction of the entire society is ill simultaneously and overloads the medical system. Instead, we all hoped to "flatten the curve" to avert a shortage of hospital beds at least until a vaccine or medicines are created. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I do not wish to use the term "herd immunity" because it is so emotionally charged now that it is a meaningless term. But what I do want to say is the following: the numbers now say the number of new cases of Covid-19 peaked on June 24 and have decreased by a statistically significant amount in Sweden, to the point that they are now significantly lower than the numbers in Ohio and the US as a whole. Either the Swedish government is lying or is not testing or....perhaps it is not so ridiculous to suggest they are succeeding in controlling this disease. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: x-large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">One thing is for sure, there is no let up in relentless criticism of Sweden from the highest levels of international organizations down to supermarket tabloids.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Boycott Swedish meatballs at the grocery store if you must. However, it behooves us to determine whether the numbers are correct before concluding we have nothing to learn from the approach this highly advanced country has taken.</span></div>

It depends on whose meltdown is more spectacular. <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">President Trump has unintentionally succeeded in energizing the left to such an extent that he cannot overcome their lead by rallying his troops on the right. W</span><span style="font-size: large;">hat the President taught us in 2016 is that the old adage is completely wrong: "run right in the primaries, run to center in the general election." He proved to get out the vote, the candidate should do things that appeal to crazy people who would normally not vote. Run right and stay right. But if the left is fully mobilized, there is too large of a numerical majority for the right to overcome it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well, the left is energized now. All the taunting and put-downs during three and a half years of the Trump Presidency have finally boiled over. We have not seen anything like this since the Viet Nam era. The catalyst, of course is Black Lives Matter. The left seems very motivated to go out and vote, and they have a large majority around he country. If this holds till November, former Vice President Biden will surely win. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> In order for the President to win, the left is going to have to collapse, yet that could actually happen. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The political right is going to point out that the former Vice President acts as if he has dementia at times. In fact, the left-leaning Washington Post says the same thing, so it is a viable campaign issue, like it or not. I'm no doctor, but anyone can see that the former Vice President at least acts like he is demented at times. Even Biden attempts to laugh it off, calling himself a gaffe machine. In any case, mental fitness is a real issue, and probably the only issue large enough to cause a meltdown larger than the meltdown already being experienced by the President. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Truthfully, I think that the Democratic Party apparatus is demented, if dementia is defined broadly as a persistent disorder characterized by dysfunctional impaired reasoning. Put it this way, they were ill in 2016 and there is very little sign of recovery. In fact, they have provided the American people with a candidate that avoids their greatest fears, but in so doing, seems made to order to lose to the President. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> Covid, and Trump's foolishness, is the main factor that can save the Biden campaign.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Biden won the nomination because the Democrats are paranoid, and completely intimidated by the President. I mean this in absolutely the worst, uncomplimentary way. Their fear of Trump has paralyzed their reasoning ability and they were not able to make rational decisions in the candidate selection process. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> They could have selected a young energetic candidate like Amy Klobuchar, who is anti-war and a moderate. But they were afraid that a woman can not beat Donald Trump. On this point we have been scolded by any number of party loyalists. That is simply fear speaking. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> They </span><span style="font-size: large;">also could have chosen Peter Butigieg, the most dynamic leader and Afghanistan War veteran, but they were pathologically fearful that President Trump would call him vile names and he would lose. They were afraid that an openly gay candidate cannot beat President Trump. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> They</span><span style="font-size: large;"> could have even chosen Bernie Sanders, the people's choice in 2016 over Hillary Clinton if not the party's choice. Sanders is the conscience of the Democratic Party, if not its top accountant. Like the President, he believes in the power of the printing press to replace fiscal responsibility; however, Sanders has human values and Donald Trump does not. But no, they were afraid that Trumponomics would rip Sanders to shreds. I believe the opposite, Sanders' free stuff is only a fraction of the terrible cost of President Trump's free stuff. Sanders should have eaten Trump's lunch on the massive tax cut to finance the upper class, which was just bad economics. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> They could even have selected my favored candidate, Tulsi Gabbard, who is the closest thing that we have to a fiscally restrained liberal. But--oh that's right--a woman cannot beat Donald Trump. Ditto for Elizabeth Warren, the most organized and structured planner and best executive. Since Hillary Clinton could not beat the President, the party has decided to give up on all other female Presidential candidates, is that it? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">So what are we left with? Good old Joe, a 78 year old white guy who acts like he does not know where he is at times. In 1988 I was disgusted by then-Senator Biden's bragging about his academic record, especially when it turned out that he was lying about his accomplishments. Good grief. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The right slanders people all the time so it is easy to assume that it is all slander. But wait a minute. What if he goes into gaffe mode when his finger is on the button controlling the largest nuclear arsenal in the universe? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We are going to have to think this through in a campaign that will largely be carried out in TV studios rather than in front of microphones with big crowds. There is some chance that if Biden does have some impairment, the party can successfully hide it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> If the Democratic Party found out that the candidate had some condition that made him unfit to govern, would they do the honest thing and pull him from the candidacy for the good of the country, or would they cover it up for the good of the party? I don't have any evidence, but I feel the party would hide it as best they could. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Joe Biden is going to have to convince the American people that he is absolutely sharp, absolutely not affected by early stage dementia. Otherwise, the Democrats present us once again with a very difficult decision. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> President Trump has embarrassed us, or at least those of us with any common sense. But the alternative is a fellow who acts like he lost one too many boxing matches in his youth. It is an absolute fact that he will be 78 years old in November, and the job is a grueling one. Does that inspire anyone? If so, who? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Is it wrong to feel that the party system has let us down? </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://greatruns.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gothenburg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="698" height="362" src="https://greatruns.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Gothenburg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="color: #1d2129; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span data-offset-key="3kpdp-0-0" face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Bashing Sweden for its allegedly lax rules on coronavirus lockdown does not make much sense to me. </span></div>
<br />
<span data-offset-key="3kpdp-0-0" style="color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">In theory, Sweden intended to lock down the elderly and other vulnerable citizens more or less to a similar degree as in other countries. But, they intended to allow somewhat more relaxed, volutary regulations to healthier younger citizens who are more likely to survive. Thus if the strategy were carried out successfully, the death rate should be lower for Sweden than in other countries but the exposure rate and infection rate should be higher especially with the more mobile young people. Countries with more regulation should have a lower rate of infection. </span></span><br />
<div style="color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div><div style="color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span data-offset-key="3kpdp-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: justify;">The numbers are not so simple. </span></span><span style="text-align: justify;">According to Worldometers, as of June 11, there have been a total of 48,288 cases in Sweden or 0.0478 cases per capita. That is twentieth highest in the world (but lower than several western countries including San Marino, Andorra, Luxembourg, Spain, USA, Iceland, Belarus, Gibraltar, Belgium and Ireland). </span></span></div>
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" style="color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; position: relative; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" style="color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; position: relative; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div data-block="true" data-editor="88ngr" data-offset-key="eo9cm-0-0" style="text-align: start;"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="eo9cm-0-0" style="direction: ltr; position: relative;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">However, in terms of per capita death rate, Sweden is seventh. So if you wish to bash other countries, go for San Marino, Belgium, Andorra, UK, Spain, and Italy. But America is tenth, so there aren't that many countries we can legitimately bash. </span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;">

<span data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Sweden is followed by France, Netherlands and the USA. Hence, judging from the recent press, many Americans evidently feel they are in a position to criticize and ridicule these other countries for having more fatalities per capita, especially Sweden. </span><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But wait. It's not that simple.</span><br />
<span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Note that in terms of death rate per capita, all ten of these countries rank lower for per capita infection rate.Every single one in the Top 10. In other words, each country is experiencing a relatively high death rate compared to the infection rate. That is the opposite of what might be expected for these advanced Western medical care systems. </span><br />
<span data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's take a look at other countries with high per capita infection rate. Qatar has the highest per capita infection rate in the world, but only the 70th highest death rate. That means a higher percentage of infected people in Qatar are getting well than in the European countries, and it's not even close. </span><br />
<span data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Consider Singapore has the ninth highest infection rate per capita, but only 128th highest death rate</span><span data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">. </span><br />

<span data-offset-key="4tspt-0-0" face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">So if you want to bash Swedish medicine, fine, but do not forget to heap immense praise on countries such as Qatar and Singapore, who are greatly outperforming the west. </span><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not aware of a simple explanation why this is true. However, look at the stats for Sweden (Statista.com) and you will see their high death rate is associated with a large number of deaths of people who are over 70 years old. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-offset-key="5ev7v-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">Perhaps, if you must bash Sweden (and I wish you would not), they could be bashed for not being able to protect elderly persons. But even after adjusting for age groups, the numbers say that the cure rate is much higher in so-called third world countries than in Europe. And within Europe, Sweden's numbers are comparable to or a little better than some of its neighbors. So, are bad regulations in Sweden causing high death rates in these other European countries, higher than in Sweden? How could that be possible? There must be something else besides rules that needs to be considered. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="5ev7v-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span data-offset-key="5ev7v-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">We have to admit that we do not have a cure for Coronavirus. As long as there is a single death from this disease, it is too many and as a society, we must all strive to do better. The ability to protect people from contracting the illness, and the ability to treat the illness are going to improve with time. Different countries are trying different things, and we can all learn from one another if we quit bashing each other and figure out what works well and what does not. It is inappropriate to issue harsh condemnation of policies and medical care in any country, especially one that is not your own, because this disease breaks all the rules. It is NOT simple to understand, and we ALL have much to learn about it. It is not just Sweden that wants to improve its performance. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been following the progress of COVID-19 in Ohio, and recently also started to follow Sweden, which has been in the news lately. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Ohio was one of the first states to lock down, and has received mostly favorable attention for having done so. I'm grateful to our governor and director of health for having acted quickly; though I have been mildly critical of their use of numbers that do not seem to be supported</div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Swedish health officials are variously described as pariahs for not enforcing lockdowns to the same extent as other countries; or are considered geniuses for not enforcing lockdowns to the same extent as other countries. </div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not sure who is on what side, but certainly I expect one political party in America to embrace what Sweden has done, and the other party will deplore it. This is wrong. There are any number of reasons why conditions are different in one location compared to another. </div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
We can't just say, well Sweden should copy Ohio, or Ohio should copy Sweden. </div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
What we should do is see if there are differences in approach that are beneficial, and see if we can learn from these differences. Different regions will try different approaches. Can we learn from what another region does, and apply that in our own situation? Learn and adapt, don't just judge and condemn. </div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, one of my friends who is a respected professional asked me to share what I know (or don't know). I took trouble to plot the Sweden data on daily new cases to compare it to the Ohio data for daily new cases. Sweden has a population of some 10.2 million and Ohio is around 11.7 million so the population base is comparable. Sweden encountered COVID at least a week before Ohio. </div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The question everyone wants to answer is whether the limited quarantine of Sweden can be close to the same effectiveness as the stronger quarantine of Ohio. </div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

My opinion, as of today, April 12 2020, is that I cannot make a definite comparison between Sweden and Ohio. The Ohio data appears to be leveling off, but the Swedish situation is not possible to resolve yet. Here is why:</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. We do not know who is being tested and who is not in either country. Buzz in Ohio is that we did not have enough test kits early on. Do we have enough now? I have not seen the number, though they are still saying they believe that there are more cases than show up in the statistics. On the other hand, what about the people who have the bug but are not sick enough to go to the doctor? They may just decide to stay indoors for a while and are not counted. These effects could be different for any number of economic, cultural and situational differences in different countries. Bottom line is that someone like me can graph the data, but it takes someone with real knowledge of the local conditions to infer the true situation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. As noted previously Sweden is not Ohio. We simply can not rule out differences in climate, lifestyle, population density. Rather, we need to try to account for these differences as we seek to learn from each other and save lives. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
3. The recent data from Sweden shows two statistically significant peaks, one on 4/2 and the other about 4/9. These peaks are too large to be attributed to random statistical variation. It could be something as innocent as a backlog of test data for a few days, and then getting caught up a few days later, or something like that. Or maybe there were outbreaks that raised the number of positive tests. I do not know what caused the apparent peaks, but until there is a s better understanding, I can not conclude whether that the true number of cases is rising exponentially, or whether it may be leveling off. I just don't know yet. </div>

Yes wear gloves. That way you can touch the grocery cart at Wal-Mart, which might be chock full of Covid-19 viruses, and they won't infect your hands, at least for a while. That is a good thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, those viruses can live for quite a long time on the surface of your gloves, and at some point they will find some other path to infect you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SO WASH YOUR GLOVES IN SOAP AND WATER. I'm not talking about putting them in the washing machine, but leave them on and use hand soap and water. So far I have never heard any health professional recommend this, but it is common sense. Soap contains surfactants, which are molecules that have one end that likes water, and the other end likes to stick to things. Surfactants also stick to COVID 19 and MESSES THEM UP. It's better than alcohol, so they say.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the interest of sharing contrary views, I've listed an article below which advises against using gloves. The arguments can be valid in many situations: because you probably don't use them right; they will get dirty; you will get overconfident; you don't know how to take off the gloves, etc). But nowhere does the article discuss the possibility of <i>washing the gloves. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead, you are recommended to go to Walmart you handle all the foodstuffs and the grocery cart with your bare hands, even if they may have been touched by people who have the virus. So if there are viruses to be had, you put them on your hands first. THEN you wash your hands. I thnk that is stupid. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shouldn't you kill the viruses BEFORE they have a chance to infect you instead of AFTER? This is so obvious to me, although I admit that many professionals who know more than me recommend the opposite.<br />
<br />
I carry a little squeeze bottle with soap and water to wipe my gloves, wipe the grocery cart handle and then repeat the procedure upon leaving the store. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We know that surfactants (the stuff that is in soap) is lethal to Cononavirus, because the surfactant sticks to the virus and rips it apart. You can use hand cleaner containing over 60% alcohol and it works okay, but the alcohol will soon evaporate. Everything I've read says that soap and water is better, so I'm carrying a bottle with me now in a little squirt bottle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why haven't we heard anybody advise washing gloves with soap and water? Maybe fashion experts have told you not to wash expensive leather or silk in water, but I'm here to tell you that lives may be saved if you do. You'll get the money back someday, it's not worth it to risk your life to preserve a fashion statement. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have some knit fabric gloves with a thin rubber coating for $5, and they are awesome. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Plus a soapy residue (if the gloves are damp for several minutes) may not be a bad thing because, remember, soap destroys coronavirus. The soap may still work for us much longer than alcohol. Caveat: this is my opinion as a scientist, but not supported by experimental evidence at this time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to read a viewpoint that is 100% opposed to mine, here is an example, but note that the author d<i>oes not even mention the possibility of washing gloves</i>. I suspect that many writers may simply not have thought of it.. <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/you-shouldnt-be-wearing-gloves-to-go-grocery-shopping/ar-BB11YPuZ">https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/you-shouldnt-be-wearing-gloves-to-go-grocery-shopping/ar-BB11YPuZ</a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The data sets from Coronavirus.ohio.gov and Cleveland.com (taken from Governor DeWine's daily briefings) do not seem to match, unless I have horribly misunderstood something. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Coronavirus.ohio.gov shows cases in Ohio that existed before March 9, have a rise to a maximum of 153 on March 17, and show now that the number of new cases per day is diminishing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">However, if you go back and plot the number of announced cases at each day's conference with Governor DeWine, you get a significantly different picture. There were no confirmed cases of Coronavirus prior to March 9. The cases thereafter </span><span style="font-size: large;">increased with a steeper exponential and perhaps only in the last few days starting to (maybe) slow down, if the trend continues.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is shown in my graphs below, and just to prove I didn't make it up, I photographed the coronavirus.ohio.gov graph of the data. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How can this be? I am certainly not one to allege a conspiracy theory. I suppose that the Coronavirus.ohio.gov graph must be a model that assumes the virus was present before it was detected, and the ability to detect the virus has improved, so it looks like the cases are increasing. Still, they should explain the difference so that people like me don't get upset. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The graph below is just the daily new cases, or the daily total minus the previous day's total. The upshot is that if you accept the ohio.gov numbers, the virus has been here longer than we previously thought, therefore the increase is not as rapid as it appeared. The information from the Governor's briefings are a bit more threatening, although it too seems to show leveling off at some number around 300.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Congratulations to Mayor Peter Butigieg for winning the Iowa ruckus, I mean, caucus. At least that's what the news reports are saying with 96% of the vote counted and several discrepancies still to be resolved.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">All the experts say that the 2020 Democratic candidate will be an elderly white guy, either Joe Biden, or Bernie Sanders, and perhaps this is so. But it is very hard to imagine how they can win with a candidate who is several years older than Donald Trump--who himself was the oldest candidate ever elected President.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">These elderly candidates managed to not serve in the military during the Viet Nam period, but now wish to be Commander-in-Chief. That Viet Nam generation--both Democrat and Republican--was the most divisive, self-destructive, argumentative and obstinate generation since the American Civil War. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The political parties, aided and abetted by American voters, have attempted to refashion the President into a super-legislator who will create policies and laws to be ratified by Congress. However that is not what the Constitution specifies. The President is supposed to be the Chief Executive, supervising the government organizations carrying out the will of Congress, and also the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful military in the world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pete Butigieg is one of only two candidates who actually served in the US military. The other is Tulsi Gabbard, who may be the closest person to being a fiscally conservative Democrat in the race. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sanders, on the other hand, was a Conscientious Objector. How do you have a Conscientious Objector in charge of the organization that he objects to?? Biden, gosh, wanted to serve in Viet Nam, but he had asthma as a kid and just couldn't do it. Tsk, tsk. President Trump, too, had five deferments from the draft, by the way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Viet Nam was a stupid war, and it is hard to blame people for not wishing to be a part of it, but on the other hand they simply did not earn the credentials to be military leaders. It doesn't mean they are pariahs, but how can they be Commander-in-Chief? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Is it narrow minded to want to escape these people? If so, I apologize, but I sincerely want to escape them. I just want someone who can act like a grown-up, rather than an angry, spoiled child. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">That entire group deluded themselves into thinking that they could rid themselves of President Trump via a partisan impeachment process, even though the simply did not have the votes in the Senate. I think it's time for them to go play golf and other, younger, leaders are going to have to take over. Unfortunately the oldsters will probably will not go gracefully, but instead will go kicking and screaming. The impeachment process has already boosted President Trump to a -150 betting favorite (translating to an implied win probability of 60%. Nevertheless, the oldsters will insist on losing the election their way, and the oddsmakers are saying they will get their way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have not made up my mind whether Butigieg is my favorite Democrat, nor will I necessarily vote Democratic this fall. But I am happy to see someone running for President who was not yet born in the Gilligan's Island era. </span></div>

This article describes
the author’s efforts to identify the probable ancestors of Johannes Kennel
(born 1719--?), hitherto the earliest known ancestor known to Kennel family
tradition. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is the German-born
grandfather of the earliest immigrant, also named Johannes Kennel, whose
descendants are mainly from Tazewell County Illinois and Butler County Ohio and
include the present author.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Family trees
and historical records supplemented by DNA corroboration, to show that Johannes
Kennel is probably a direct descendent of the Von Känel family of Reichenbach
bei Frutigen (now Reichenbach im Kanderthal), Bern, Switzerland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This branch of the family was Anabaptist
(forerunners of Amish and Mennonites), and was forced to leave Bern because of
religious strife in Europe, which sadly seems to have been the norm, regardless
of what religion was involved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Kennel
family tradition was documented by several genealogists, including my
grandfather, Elmer Mosiman Kennel who passed in 1985. He knew that Johannes Kennel
and son Jacob Kennel immigrated to American from the Münsterhof estate in
Rheinland Pfalz in 1830, where the Kennels had farmed for generations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prior to that, our German-born ancestors
included Peter Kennel (1745-1819) and Elizabeth Muller (1747- 1803).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prior to Peter was Johannes Kennel (1717-?)
and Anna Steiner (1720-?).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Elmer knew
his German-born grandfather Jacob, who lived until Elmer was fifteen years old,
and thus he was only to trace back three generations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As will be shown later, the dates for
Johannes Kennel usually found on ancestry.com are incorrect (he probably died
prior to 1804).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
This eldest ancestor
“Johannes Kennel” is associated with a historical figure who signed his name as
“Hans Kendel” in 1764, on a lease agreement in which he and three others agreed
to farm the Münsterhof estate, near the town of Dreisen, Donnersbergkreis,
Rheinland Pfalz in what is now Germany.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This signature is reproduced for us by Guth, page 49. Prior to that, in

day’s journey away. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See also Gerlach,

Kennel and
Kendel are both variants of the last name Von Känel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last names were allowed to vary in those days
and in that region.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, we tend to
think of the spelling as being rigidly fixed, but for whatever reason that was
not true hundreds of years ago..<o:p></o:p></div>

The digital age,
as well as diligent work by genealogists, establishes a paper trail consisting
of church baptismal records, marriage records and death records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our Anabaptist ancestors often—though not
always--cooperated with the established church authorities to record births,
marriages and deaths, though in some cases Anabaptist events may have gone
unrecorded).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In particular very painstaking
reconstruction of the family tree has been undertaken by modern genealogists. I
have found the tree constructed by Renato Folli of Switzerland to be
particularly useful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has been
gracious enough to help guide my research in internet communications.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is intimately familiar with church documents
in both Switzerland and Rheinland Pfalz, and has personally examined many of
them..<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Based on
existing trees, We can reliably match our Johannes Kennel = Hans Kendel =
Johann Jacob Kendel who was born at Dreisen in 1719, about two years later than
estimated by my grandfather. The father of Johann Jacob Kandel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The paper trail goes all the way back to the
1500s or even earlier, and it is known that Anton Von Känel was born in
Reichenbach bei Frutigen in 1640, and moved to the Dreisen area by the time of
the birth of his son Johann Jacob in 1686.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His son with the same name is the Johann Jacob Kennel born in 1719. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
One branch of
the Kendel family left the Munsterhof roughly around 1800, but instead of
travelling to America, they traveled east to Kisker Batschka in what was the
Hungarian Empire, and which is now part of Serbia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Kendel family has a reliable paper trail
all the way to Johann Jacob Von Känel born 1686, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and earlier in Reichenbach, Switzerland.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Moreover, one of
the present-day Kendels, a Johann Kendel of Vienna, Austria, has a paper trail
all the way to the Münsterhof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This suggests
that the person signing his name “Hans Kendel” is part of this family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed several birth records and marriage
records contain the “d” which was appears in church records as early as 1717.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tables 2 and 3 show the probable paths
leading to a common ancestor. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
If further
evidence were needed that the Kendel/Kennel families are the same as the Von Känels,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the church record for the 1716 birth of Johann
Christoff Kendel, brother of Hans Kendel, even has the “Von” inserted as an apparent
afterthought, indicating that the names are more or less interchangeable. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can be reasonably confident that Von Känel,
Kennel and Kendel from the same family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Nothing is ever 100% certain in genealogy, but this is as close as it
gets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
From 1716, the Church records
Johann Jacob (“Von” inserted) Kendel and wife Anna Magdalena were parents of
baptized Johann Christoff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The record is
from Rockenhausen, 21 km from the Münsterhof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He is the direct ancestor of present-day Johann Kendel of Vienna, and
the brother of Johann Jacob Kennel = Hans Kendel = Johannes Kennel.<o:p></o:p></div>

Switzerland, born in 1520, according to the family tree of Renato Folli, and

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
A legal letter
was composed in Dreisen to identify the heirs, a transcription of which is
available on ancestry.com among other places.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This carefully composed legal document is the strongest possible identification
that could be hoped for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It includes the
identification of Johannes as a farmer at the Münsterhof estate near Dreisen,
Rheinland-Pfalz in what is now Germany, with the offspring listed in Table
1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The letter further asserts that
all<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>children were born at the
Münsterhof. Staker had raised the possibility that the Johann Jacob Kendel
family might have been originally from Durlach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, in view of the letter it is absolutely clear that the Kennel/Kendels
resided at the Münsterhof prior to signing the lease at the Katharinenthalerhof
in 1750, and also resided at the Münsterhof for decades thereafter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Therefore, <span style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;">Ana Margretha Gotzin Kennel</span> probably died prior to 1745 and is not in the direct line of my family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Elisabetha Catherina is the one who is our direct ancestor.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As
for the fate of Johann Jacob Kennel, his children signed the legal document prepared
in Dreisen in 1804, establishing that they were the heirs of Maria
Kennel Fischer, who died in 1804 and had no children of her own. Johann Jacob
Kennel was a not a signee of the document, only his children, which suggests
that he had passed before 1804.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The date
is not known.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> Hermann Guth, in <i>Amish Mennoites in Germany</i></span> claimed that Johannes Kennel remarried to Magdalena Altemus in 1802. My Grandfather Elmer Kennel claims that Johannes Kennel remarried in 1953 to Magdalena Krehbil in 1753 after the death of Anna Steinter in 1951. These claims are not necessarily contradictory. However,
the present author has not found the source documents of the any of these marriages, but there is a paper trail for Kennel/Gotz. Thus, I am incline to disbelieve the claim that he lived till 1806, stated by Mennonite archives, without a specific date.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This solves the minor enigma is the great distance between Dreisen and Durlach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How did Johann Jakob Kendel (= Hans Kendel) from the Münsterhof,
Dreisen, end up marrying Anna Steiner from Durlach? Well, it probaby did not happen. However, the Anabaptist habit of
contracting to farm for nobility informs us that Johann Jacob Kendel was definitely
associated with both Durlach and Dreisen. He was born in the Dreisen area,
married and had children in Dreisen, contracted to farm in Durlach in 1750, was
mentioned in church documents in Durlach in 1754, but returned to Dreisen by
1764 to farm the Münsterhof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Perhaps this means that Hans was a kind of contractor rather than someone who farmed the same fields his entire life.</span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span> </span><span> </span><span> Another important record is the 1808 marriage record between Jean Kennel (=Johannes Kennel) and Magdaleine Navziger (=</span></span>Magdalena Nafziger). Because the marriage occurred in the time of Napoleon,the record is in French, but provides an irrefutable link between <span style="text-align: left;">Johann Peter Känell and Johannes Kennel who emigrated to America with his family. This Johannes was the father of Jacob, who was the father of American-born George Washington Kennel and Thomas Jefferson Kennel. Obviously, this family thought of themselves as Americanized, though generations later, I'm inclined to think we are still a bunch of Amish who dress a little more modern and drive cars. </span></div>

<h2>
Origin of the Kennel Name<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
The most likely origin
of the family name Von Känel is that they were involved in irrigation, bringing
water from the mountains to farmlands at lower elevations. The family
crest shows a fleur-de-lis on the right and a half-pipe on the left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Kennel,” canal and channel all have the same
root and denote a narrow, enclosed volume, which could be applied to a body of
water or to a confined cage for keeping animals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we had been French speakers, we could have
been named “Chanel” like the perfume creator, but no, our ancestors were German
speakers and hence we are stuck with the much less sexy “Kennel.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
According to an
internet source (<a href="http://erwinbagpiper.com/?page_id=565">http://erwinbagpiper.com/?page_id=565</a>),
the Von Känel family name is mentioned in 1321:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Baron Johannes
von Thurm of Gastelen was Lord of Frutigen in the early fourteenth century. The
document indicates that the Baron decided to give the Augustinian Monastery of
Interlaken a piece of land near Scharnachtal (next to the town of Reichenbach
and a few miles south of Aeschi). In addition, it states that “Peter and
Chunradus von dem Kenel and their heirs forever have the right to live on a
portion of this property (a farm known as the Kene), as long as they pay a rent
of thirty shillings per year” (a practice that was known as the Right of
Hereditary Tenancy). The ”Von” prefix is an honorific title, probably given by
some petty noble in appreciation for building the canals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It does not designate royalty but does imply
some government-sanctioned official level of recognition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But when
the Anabaptists left Switzerland as a result of government-sponsored
persecution, there would be little or no need to carry the title, other than
for tradition’s sake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

My grandfather
Elmer Mosiman Kennel made the curious claim that “it is generally conceded that
the Kennels originated in the town of Arthur, Switzerland.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also verbally told me in about 1977 when when I was 20 and took a European trip to study art, that the family home town was on the south
of Lake Lucerne. This led me to a wild goose chase when I
actually traveled via Eurail in search of these mythical relatives. Nice scenery, but no Burgomeister Kennel as claimed by Gramps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> Ahem. Well, grandpa, </span>your grandson
definitely does not concede this point, and in fact there is no such town as
Arthur, Switzerland. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was probably thinking
of the town of Arth, which is inhabited by many persons with the Kenel last
name, often with only one “n” instead of two. Arth is located on the south side
of Lake Zug, not Lake Lucerne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have made contact with some of these
individuals and find that the Kenel family tree goes back<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to at<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>least 1620 in the town of Arth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The habit of Bernese Anabaptists of naming children after their father and grandfather often leads to several persons having similar or identical names, making it difficult to trace the family line. To help keep track of persons with similar names, the list below shows individuals that are <i>not </i>direct ancestors, but whose records and information were considered and ultimately rejected. Most of them are cousins. Particularly curious is the similarity of names between the Dreisen area Kennels and the Spesbach Kennels, because these two groups are probably not closely related. The Spesbach line is descended from Von Kanels from Aeschi, rather than Reichenbach bei Frutigan The family tree compiled by Renato Folli is particularly recommended as a useful site to identify Kennel relatives. <o:p></o:p></div>

Kerry, writing in the Omaha World-Herald </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">offers the following:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"<i>The first [delusion] is that Americans long for a president who will ask us to pay more for the pleasure of increasing the role of the federal government in our lives.</i>"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: start;"> (</span><a href="https://www.omaha.com/opinion/midlands_voices/bob-kerrey-how-did-department-of-justice-get-the-trump/article_7b68c700-f356-5cb8-8baf-bbbdc5375bf4.html" style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;" target="_blank">Bob Kerry Editiorial in the Omaha World Herald</a><span style="text-align: start;">)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you wonder why the Republicans were upset that former President Obama was continually trying to expand the government, maybe that is understandable now that the Republicans are in power. Do Democrats really want to increase the power of the Federal Government and in particular the President? This is a dumb idea whose time has come. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Republicans are traditionally in favor of limited government, but caught up in the excitement of a colorful President are mostly supporting bigger deficits and expanded powers for the government. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kerry goes on to note that success has been achieved by fiscal moderates:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">"That this is a delusion can be seen in the promises made by six successful Democratic candidates in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan: three governors and three senators. Not one of them supported the Green New Deal, a tax on wealth or “Medicare for all.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Is there a Democrat willing to run on the principle of holding the line on spending? Making small cuts rather that hugely expanding the Federal government? If there is, they would probably win. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The other point that Senator Kerry makes is that we have to stop being delusional about the President being under the control of Russia. This, along with demands to inspect his tax records, are foolish attempts to find some "smoking gun" that will be so appalling that even Republicans will wish to remove the President, either by the ballot box or even impeachment. It is tragic that Democrats could see so clearly that the attacks on Barack Obama's birth certificate were without merit, as well as the hysterics about Hillary Clinton's emails, but they could not see the idiocy of the Russian conspiracy. This is nothing more than recycled Joe McCarthy, and Democrats bought into it, hook, line, sinker, rod, reel, boat and anchor. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Look, the President's record is well established. There is plenty to not like already, and plenty that is REAL. If you can not make a case for your candidate against Trump by now, I don't know what negative information could exist that would make a shred of difference. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The more Democrats pin their hopes on a devastating revelation about Russian interference, or tax records, President Trump gets to win and win and win while the Democrats make themselves look foolish. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My advice: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. End Middle Eastern military operations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Hold the line on health care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Compromise on immigration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Eliminate tax breaks that overtly favor large corporations, but do not attempt to damage large corporations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Be the fiscally responsible party and reduce the deficit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Do this and the Democrats will probably win. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">But it is doubtful whether the Democrats will do this. I believe that they will continue to underestimate Donald Trump. Although all politicians are guilty of mudslinging on occasion, Democrats can not keep pace with the President. Ask Senator Elizabeth Warren about that. My guess is that the future Democratic candidate will:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Continue to allow President Trump to set the agenda and make the conversation be about him. Promote conspiracy theories about Russia and tax returns, hoping that moderate Republicans will be swayed by new information. Cry louder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Ridicule walls and fences, hoping that nobody notices the insanity of unrestricted immigration and open borders as the de facto alternative. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Criticize Israel and support wars of liberation around the world for third world dictators that we believe are worthy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Support massive implementation of government-supported Green Energy and dismantling of the hydrocarbon economy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Support taxation of the rich as the means to fund expansion of the Federal government. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Maybe they can get things turned around, but they really don't show much willingness to win. </span><br />
