According to the NEWS ON TV, Opportunity ROVER is dead! Really? Are you sure? After 15 years of mapping and exploration on Planet Mars the Rover Mars Opportunity is dead!!
First, let me tell you that to send the Mars Rover Opportunity to space and landed on planet Mars was sort of a huge miracle. Scientists thought the Rover wont even work or land safely on another planet. They assumed that if ever Rover landed on Mars it will function just for hours or days but miraculously for the past 14.5 years the Rover Mars Opportunity has defied gravity and sent so many hundreds of photographs of the Mars planet. Incredible! Totally amazing!
It was next to impossible but the possibility has ended. Sad.
As I watched the last details of Rover Mars Opportunity as it was stuck on the Mars surface out from the open-mouth volcano shaped and then out to once again capture the Mars land and suddenly got stuck on a pile of white substance they called silica... how they knew the white surface is silica? LOL. That's very strange! That could be SNOW. And if it snow then Mars is suitable for life expectancy.
How could you know? Unless if you send an astronaut to explore and conquer Mars, the red planet. Or another Rover to extend its mission. Rover Spirit is there too anyway. All these missions are crucial and worth billions of dollars. Probably trillions of dollars now.
For the meantime, as if planet Earth is not a planet and right now our province is blanketed with white snow. The first day of snow last Monday, had an accumulation of 20 cm. then the next day of snowfall had 25 cm. thick of snow. The third day was sunny and sunshine melted at least 10 cm of snow on the ground. This morning after the snowfall yesterday, the snow is now 35 cm thick unless of course if you clear the snow and shove the snow away from the sidewalk. The streets and highways are plowed and sprinkled with industrial salts. Well, I hope so. Slow down when its time to slow down. Drive safely. Keep yourself warm and stay at home when you have nothing important to do away from home.
Happy Friday! TGIF.

Certain Limitations Abound
Well, to prove a point maybe...suddenly the island experienced some kind of snowstorm, mild and not wild. The snow is now 4 inches thick on the ground and maybe 5-10 inches thick in other parts of the Vancouver island. Unevenly.
The snowfall stopped last night and another new forecast looming that there will be a snow about to fall tomorrow. ? Really?
Of course it will be slippery on the roads and highways and hope that the civil servants or the grounds workers will plow the snow and scatter or sprinkler industrial salts on those streets, roads and highways to prevent slip, skid, and prevent motor accidents. It's Monday dude, so people are gonna go to work and students will have to go to school unless of course if their principal and teachers called "schools closed due to thick snow." Or have your schools' floors wet and students falling on the wet floor. The school's janitors would be very busy trying to mop the floors dry. Suddenly you think of robots doing the job. iRobot vacuums the carpet and another iRobot mopping the concrete floors.
If you have nothing important thing to do outside, just stay at home. I saw a small truck just on our street and the guy who drives the truck was on a zigzag route almost unable to control his truck. Slippery.
February 2019 is the winterest month of the year. Not long ago year 2017 when Vancouver island had experienced almost like a polar vortex winter condition in February. February is now recorded as the coldest of the month in the calendar year. The island being partly on the side of the Pacific ocean and when snow covered with thick blanket of snow consider that a miracle or a nuisance. Choose your limit: vertical or horizontal.

Social ism
My husband can't get in to his own email address. He forgot his password. OMG!!!!!! I'm glad that I have the password that I made for him years ago. I told him to delete un-necessary emails and junks. Delete all the junk mails and spam mails so that it's easy for him to browse the most important emails.
He looked at the emails one by one and shocked to find out that the gas company has billed him with $150. WTH! What the hell!!!!! How that happened? Our gas consumption (for the house) last month of December 2018 was only $50 and paid for it. Less than $50 from November 2018 and that was paid too. So the latest bill was so shocking. Huge spike! Wow! As if E.T. had a leap of some kind and the aliens are everywhere. We only use gas for heating the fireplace and gas for the hot water tank. It's not that cold outside because we only received snowfall just recently. The snow on the ground is just less than an inch in height and never stay longer than a day. The house is mainly powered with hydro (electricity) not gas. $150 gas consumption? Are we heating our neighbor's house too? That's so weird and so strange! I am curious and doubts starting to flare up. $100 is too much for such increase. There is something wrong. I know, somebody from the GAS Company would like that snow to melt. Yeah make me angry and will melt that snow.
At one point in time when we are billed for gas in the former house that we resided sometime in 2014. We never use the fireplace which is the only one powered with gas. No matter how cold the weather the fireplace is off and we only use electricity to heat the house, for cooking, for all the appliances and water tank they all are connected to the hydro. Somehow, the gas company keeps sending gas bills. In my thoughts, somehow the gas pipe has something to do with it or the first occupants before us didn't pay their bills and we have to suffer for the payments. Then to get in touch with those people who work in the gas company cannot be reached or impossible to reach as being "too busy." Yeah all LINES are inhabited by cockroaches and bugs.
Too many strange things happening in Canada that we don't know what really is happening or the truth about the present government that so many people were scammed about the taxation process when East Indians were the ones doing the tax inquiry/inquisition of Canadian tax payers. That CRA or Canadian Revenue Agency is now stationed in India. How the hell that happened? Canada seems to be a BIG COUNTRY with rich and educated people however the present government has a problem with governance. I hope Canada is CANADA not India. Canada is not a third world country. Looks like Canada is going backwards instead of forward.
According to US Pres. Trump, America will never be a socialist country. Do you think Canada is now a Socialist country? Fascism, Socialism, Communism NO! Say NO!
According to Bill Gates there is that book about CAPITALISM without the CAPITAL.
Do you know?

The Conscious Mind
THE CONSCIOUS MIND Mind Over Matter is my main blog. As of now the total pageviews record shown on this website is 64,504. Since Year 2008.
Not much by ordinary standard in the Blog World. I'm not cheating with the counter. I used firewall before that's why. It was on http not https. Now it's on https. Hypertext what's the relevance?
While other blogwriters have accumulated millions in pageviews maybe because of the following reasons:
1. Under their blogsite they allowed other 10 to 20 bloggers or blog owners to link to their website.
After reading and viewing their blogpost and saw the photos for review, you get to choose to click where your eyes can view another blog.
2. They welcome viewers or readers with open arms.
3. They don't use firewall on their computers.
4. Their website links to different websites and other applications. It's like a spider web and they end up like the "food chain or source of food for the rest of the bloggers."
5. They offer freebies or give-aways.
6. They promote AdSense and other advertisements. Click if you want.
7. The website is connected to politicians and other famous showbiz personality.
8. The blogger is probably too friendly to administer a discussion sort of for the readers to open up and leave comments. But that would mean an open concept dialogue and that would be a financial burden leading to a purchase of a much bigger computer storage and 5 TB Storage would be helpful and necessary. Do you like a financial burden?
That's the question.
To be or not to be...
Time to cook.

Sports Vs Games & What's the difference?
It would be nice if another football team won the Championship last night. Well, for reason that it makes the football sports game more challenging and clean. Football is a very rough and tough game.
Anyway, if that's majority of Americans would like to have that as a result for 2019 AFL or NFL so let it be.
CFL or Canadian Football League is much better to watch I think because of its unpredictability. Many viewers thought the game last nite between New England Patriots Vs Los Angeles Rams as the most boring and predictable game ever.
Adam Levine of Maroon 5 performed for Half Time show for "Superbowl Championship" together with some other rappers. Unlike when Lady Gaga performed in her one of a kind acrobatic stunts (ala Pink the famous singer) Maroon 5 simply had just a simple kind of performance that didn't leave us to give him the wow factor. Christopher Cross would probably be a better choice or the Turner Bach band. Sorry, not impress of the deliberation but maybe the younger generations like Maroon 5.
In fairness, even Justin Timberlake didn't match up to the status of Superbowl halftime show. When you had seen Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, and Madonna's performance as outstanding, outrageous and superbly mega in proportion of showcasing their talents the rest of the next performers would have a nervous breakdown or rather back out from such outlandish stage display of extravagance.
What I'm looking forward is for TORONTO BLUE JAYS to win the Championship this year. They should had it when they had Jose Bautista but don't know the many controversy behind why TBJ let him go. Anytime the TBJ ends up in the Championship match with their opponents suddenly you'll see the stealths hovering the sky as if its a war. Toronto Blue Jays coach and some of their staff and their players are mostly Americans. I don't know what's the conflict. Rogers probably have too much sugar and the opponents have diabetes.
I'm not really into sports. Much better to watch the OLYMPIC GAMES.

We Have To Understand
I'm forever thankful to Google and Google+ for their generosity in accommodating creative works of arts. And if they are to shut down Google+ that's fine.
If you have a computer with 500 GB HD or a TB storage where you can store your own work of arts you don't really lose anything. Except of course the people who made remarkable remarks and comments, those wonderful people who were part of your life and appreciate the works you made, the priceless photographs you posted for public viewing. Google+ is not just a library, it is an art gallery for photographers (professionals and amateurs), artisans, scientists, chefs and cooks, educators/teachers, historians, archeologist, students, writers, anybody who wished their art forms in any size, shape and format, abstract or still life and their knowledge been praised and appreciated.
I have my own original copy of all my artworks. My photographs, I know my photographs and my work of arts. Remember I have a very long memory. Whether I posted them on Google+ , Google, Blogger blogs or on facebook; I think educated people will make it possible to at least be courteous and have the courtesy to make footnotes or acknowledge the person behind such photos and work of arts.
Acknowledgement is such a super great thing. It's one of the best moral ethics of being a human. The human rights violation is so rampant nowadays because everyone fails to acknowledge what is right from wrong. They lack the wisdom.
In today's time when we are bombarded with so much gazillion information and when they thought they have computer and through the internet everything is free. Nothing's free. You have to pay for internet connection and you pay the hydro or electric power. WE DO THAT ALL THE TIME. Religiously. You probably using cellphone and have that instagram and your bandwith? You only have 4 GB or 8 GB. That's only few photos of storage, unlike having 500 GB HD.
We bought a laptop/notebook with 32 GB HD and when I download some photos the laptop collapsed. Crazy! It crashed right away in just one hour of using such device. I had a laptop computer with 250 GB HD storage 10 years ago and that too collapsed and crashed as soon as I get to twitter. With just hundreds of tweets simultaneously the computer will collapse, crashed and burned. Why? The funny thing about this case is why You tube can accommodate thousands to hundred millions of clicks per hour? What kind of magnetic cores they had? What kind of computer or technology they use for such hundred million clicks? Supposedly, with such super fast per click basis simultaneously that can crash any machine, no matter how high-tech the device or gadget or even if its a super computer. Maybe their per click basis (equivalent to 1 click/1,000), rather 1 click = 1,000 views.
Anyway...
At least I have memory cards where all my photos are stored. To never delete photos stored in the memory cards. For Google+ to have all the Google+ users collection of your creative art works they should own at least 20,000 TB storage. That's a financial burden. We really can't blame them if they want to shut down.

What a shocking news story from Google+.
Google+ will soon shut down its domain. Not the Google. Only the Google+
That if you have a web page at Google+ you have to SAVE your creative works there. Wow! Of all creativity and scientific endeavours of so many talented, bright and smart individuals their works and my works (product of my hard, hard work) will be no longer seen unless if you SAVE them through the proper allowable process. You can receive an email from the Google Team on how you can save your creative works.
Challenging that is, to have these mind boggling INTELLIGENCE, ARTS and PHOTOGRAPHS of NATIONAL TREASURES compiled through the electronic vault called Google+ be out and away because of such reason that Google deemed necessary or perhaps can no longer accommodate such things of great value. To store things of GREAT, GREAT VALUE and IMPORTANCE that help educate humanity can no longer be seen unless you do something by saving them through the process allowed and allocated by Google Team.
What? I first thought all that was posted and SAVED will remain SAVED and because you have them recorded in your computer's hard drive. Every user of Google+ has computer and the hard drive has GB and TB Storage. If Google+ shutdown you still have copy of your priceless photographs in your own computer file folder. However, the time and effort of posting them and the many remarkable comments from your friends and the millions of POINTS you acquired for every post is what matters because if those points/views have its equivalency in bitcoins? True or not? Then that's crucial.
Could be that Google+ computer hard drive has reached its maximum limit and can no longer accept any, not even an MB. It will crash of course. So how many TB storage they have in the first place? They should have at least 1,000+ TB to accommodate millions of users. GOOGLE IS A SEARCH ENGINE for MANKIND. Google+ is what is wrong with Google+? Not being used by some people? That only the nerds and highly intelligent using Google+? I think some goofs should leave Google+ alone and let it continue to be used by educators and students around the world. Google+ is more of a library of something good, if not better. There's no controversy, it was a website in great order of things. It was highly organized by intelligent human beings. There is nothing wrong with it. It is perfect!
