The Path To Inck

I’m interested in seeing what my musically-inclined friends and family come up with on this one! OK, music lovers — here are the rules: Answer each category with a SONG. No repeats, and don’t use the internet (actually jog your brain cells). It’s tempting, but don’t! Go with the first song that comes to mind and change the answers to your own (can’t steal mine). And remember!! Be sure to post it on YOUR page, not mine.

Place: Kansas City
Animal: the lion sleeps tonight
Number: 77 Sunset Strip
Color: Blue, Baby Blue
Girls Name: Maria
Boys name: Bill, I love you still
Activity: singing in the rain
Day of the week: Monday Morning

I saw this on a social media site and thought it was worth keeping in mind. What do you think about this? Is it relevant, pertinent, timely, OR NOT?

Are you a part of the Silent Majority? You may not speak out to groups or friends or other people about what you believe in but you do have strong beliefs in the traditional "American Way". You may not hand signs and banners on your lawn, front porch, or the back of your car but you want a better, safe, comfortable place to live in our country for you and your family....

Who would you like to see Kamala Harris run with on the Democratic ticket for President in our next election? It should probably be another strong woman who will help our country re-unite after so much divisiveness from the Trump era. Joe Biden has certainly done a great job in leading us away from the autocratic / fascist leaning we had been suffering from but I don't think he is strong enough to run for another four years in THAT spotlight. What do you think, America?

Are you so tired of your political party's antics that you are considering or have actually changed your party registration? I changed from a long standing registered Republican to a Democrat because of the current Republican position of having little to no Platform! And, I started this blog with the hopes of re-creating an earlier version of my Republicans before the current phase / trend of Republicans for Themselves rather than their Constituency....

I don't know about any of you, but I get a lot of emails asking if I am still a democrat; have I switched parties recently; which way will I vote in any up-coming election? When I was very young, I was clearly a Democrat. I believed that our government should take care of every body who couldn't take care of themselves....

Democrats don't vote. If they did they would not have to accept all the Republican nonsense that they allow to be elected by NOT VOTING. Republicans are wasting their time working on Voter Restriction laws 'cause Democrats Don't Vote. Why bother restricting their access when they are typically so disinterested and un-engaged that preventing them from doing something they won't do for themselves is a waste of energy....

Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interest of its ruling class - whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.

Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders. LAW AND GOVERNANCE, The Spacing Guild Manual: Frank Herbert; The Children of Dune

What is Project Management? One version of the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) from PMI (The Project Management Institute) defines Project Management as: "The application of Knowledge, Skills, Tools and Techniques to project activities to meet project requirements." It's a pretty concise and clear definition with the further implication that each project will have a discreet beginning and end with a finite scope and a predictable set of outcomes and / or deliverables.

From Firefox: "123456" and "password" are the most commonly used passwords on the web. Be more creative. Switching a letter for a symbol (e. g. p@ssw0rd!" is an obvious trick hackers know well. Avoid favorite sports teams or pop culture references. Use something more obscure Don't use a single work like: sunshine, monkey, or football. Using a phrase or sentence as your password is stronger.
