Ono, whom I pulled out of a feral colony in the Fanga 'o Pilolevu district of the Tongan capital city, was the first to join us on a regular basis, and after a few weeks Haisheng, who was born in a Chinese-owned falekoloa (small grocery) in the Kolofo'ou district, and who is less adventurous than Ono, began to come along with us. The sociology of this behavior is interesting to consider, and I wish that my late wife <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marilyn.dudleyflores">Marilyn</a>, who held a doctorate in sociology, was here to observe and to discuss.<br /><br />

While we lived in the Longolongo district of Nuku'alofa, she observed how I developed a cooperative hunting relationship with our first cat Dylan. Our house was crawling with geckos, we often saw them on the walls and on the ceiling, and Dylan chattered at them when they were too high for him to reach. So I took to picking Dylan up and lifting him to where he could better reach the geckos. Sometimes I would throw him against the wall, and more often than not Dylan would land in the floor with the gecko in his mouth. Sometimes I would carry Dylan around the house, tracking a gecko as it moved across the ceiling in an effort to escape us, until it made the mistake of taking a position above a tall object such as the refrigerator, from where Dylan could easily strike. Dylan and I became so attuned to each other that when I heard him chattering, I would immediately come to him, spot the gecko, and lift Dylan up for the kill. At other times, when I spotted a cockroach or a tarantula in the house, I would chatter to Dylan and he would be at my side in seconds to pounce on the prey. Books say that cat chattering is an expression of frustration over a prey beyond reach, but such behavior would have no evolutionary advantage. The chattering makes sense as a survival strategy if one considers that cats can at times choose to hunt cooperatively and to signal the presence of prey to a nearby partner. This is exactly what Dylan and I did, nearly every day and sometimes several times a day.<br /><br />

During our walk this morning in the Hurricane Gulch section of Sausalito, I was a little surprised when my semi-feral cat Ono crossed the intersection of Edwards and Marion Avenues, and climbed about five meters up the steep hillside in search of prey; but then, in the course of this summer she has become increasingly confident on our walks and she may range ten to fifteen meters from us. What was especially interesting to observe was the excitement with which my dogs reacted to her quick-step trot across the street. It seemed to me that they sensed that Ono was in hunter-killer mode, and that they wanted to join in the hunt, although they couldn't do so because I had them on leashes. They continued to observe her with interest as she prowled about the hillside.<br /><br />

One time, during the days I walked the Tongilava Pack off-leash in Fanga, Denzel captured a free-ranging chicken and snapped its neck; he had no objection to my taking it from him. Marilyn was not pleased when we returned home and presented her with the kill; she knew what a chore it was going to be to pluck it. During the next few weeks the Tongilava Pack quickly learned to take down chickens and to devour them, all in a few seconds, leaving only some stray feathers as evidence. At that point, to placate our neighbors, I began walking the Tongilava Pack on-leash; they had become an efficient killing machine. Of course, dogs have been hunting with humans for tens of thousands of years; it is well understood that they include their humans in their pack hunting behavior. But, what I observed this morning tends to support the thesis that my dogs accept Ono as a member of their hunting pack, and indeed, that they appreciate her as a valuable contributor to the hunt.<br /><br />

Whether Ono accepts the dogs in her conception of the hunting group is still an open question in my mind. She brings home moles, which she never eats; I imagine that she enjoys catching then but apparently she dislikes their flavor. Ono displays no objection to the dogs eating her mole kills. Ono even brought home a rabbit once, and the dogs ate it in her presence without objection. It may be that Ono views the dogs as being above her in the group's hierarchy, or she may be deferential to them as a matter of prudence due to their larger size. The question is whether Ono brings home her kills exclusively for me, as cats are well known to do for humans, whereas the dogs enjoying her kills is incidental, or whether Ono cares one way or the other as to giving away what she doesn't care to eat.<br /><br />

Haisheng eventually crossed the intersection to the hillside several minutes after Ono in that same, low-riding, quick trot of a hunter, although she only climbed about a meter. Was she attempting to join in the hunt with Ono? That's hard for me to say. She is certainly not the hunter that Ono is; if not for Ono, Haisheng would be perfectly happy to be a house ornament. Her favorite activity, or rather the lack thereof, is to curl up with one of the napping dogs; yes, she is wholeheartedly in favor of letting sleeping dogs lie. But, lately Haisheng has begun to bring home kills of her own; sometimes the "puppy cat" exhibits the behaviors of a real cat.<br /><br />

I am mindful that my dogs and cats are far from being the only predators in Hurricane Gulch. Much has been written about the coyote threat to domesticated cats and small dogs. Only a few days after we arrived in Sausalito from Tonga early in 2018, Ono escaped from the house. Weeks went by. She had pulled the same disappearing act when we moved from Fanga to Holonga before returning home after three weeks, so I wasn't unduly concerned. She had grown up feral and she could survive in the wild. As the weeks stretched into months, however, neighbors told me that Ono had probably been eaten by a coyote. Just as I began to think that Ono was gone forever, a neighbor described to me a cat who was showing up on her security camera in the middle of the night. From the description, I knew that it was Ono. I borrowed a humane trap from <a href="https://www.marinferals.org/">Marin Friends of Ferals</a> and after thirteen nights and a couple of raccoons, I had Ono back. She had been on her own for 106 days. Tropical forest or temperate forest, it's all the same to my little tiger.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghUHbbnIXOubofI7murcrAcdq_CHepeLMOX0NUQ-yzVjV664FNawIO7FsBXQ5WDnQraiwkmRSDoX_HVVf6OztzJPyKMxJvT87OGJHgVsSo0hWrulG83EqqGjZD9deWSK9_UPzkbnTlh-M/s400/MFDC4860.JPG" width="400" height="225" data-original-width="1600" data-original-height="899" /></a><br /><b>Ono Caught!</b><br /><br /></div>
I don't mean to dismiss the threat posed by coyotes; the reports of cats gone missing and half-eaten carcasses discovered are real. It may well be that Ono will stay out one night and not be seen ever again, but Ono was born free, and she enjoys her freedom with all of its associated risks. Meanwhile, I treasure each day that I am privileged to enjoy with her. It is my hope that, despite being on the edge of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and prime habitat for the coyotes, the scents of the more than a dozen dogs resident on the 000 block of Edwards Avenue mark it as territory unfriendly to coyotes. So far, so good.<br /><br />

Kennedy’s deadline look easy. In fact, it was a deadline that was very nearly missed. The fiftieth anniversary of Apollo 11 is an appropriate time to review the scheduling history of that historic mission.<br />
<br />
The slip chart is rarely used in project management, although the idea has been around for decades. It displays two dimensions of time: the passage of historical time (the past) along one axis, and projected time (the future) along the other axis. During nine years of managing satellite projects for the U.S. Air Force, including the Gambit and Hexagon programs and payloads for STS-4 and STS-39, I never once saw a slip chart. I didn’t even know that the concept existed until I found examples of them early in this century. However, In the mid-1970s I became interested in charting the changes over time in the scheduling of human space missions, and by 1978, at which time I was an aerospace engineering student at the University of Southern California, I invented the time map to graphically display this information; I do not claim to have been the first person to do so, although I believe I am the first to use this technique for detailed historical analysis. The <a href="https://ops-alaska.com/images/time_maps/Time_Map.html">Atlas of an Undiscovered Country</a> is a project to map the entire history of human space exploration.<br />
<br />

<b>Figure 1: Saturn C-2</b></center><br />
<br />In August 1960, Apollo existed as a program which would send astronauts of a flyby of the Moon on the Saturn C-2 (see Figure 1) launch vehicle beginning in late 1968; as such, it may be said that the early Apollo program was analogous to the later Soviet L1 program (the Saturn C-2 was contemplated as consisting of a Saturn I first stage containing eight H-1 engines generating a total thrust of 1.7 million pounds, a second stage powered by four J-2 engines producing a total thrust of 800 thousand pounds, and a third stage containing six RL-10 engines generating a total thrust of 90 thousand pounds).(1) At this time, Apollo was more of a paper study than an actual development program, and any schedule had to assume some level of funding, yet the level of funding which the Eisenhower administration was willing to propose and which Congress was willing to support was highly uncertain, so it comes as no surprise that a January 1961 schedule showed that the first of two human flybys of the Moon as slipping to late 1969, while the first of four manned lunar orbital missions was slated for early 1970.(2) An actual Apollo landing on the Moon was contemplated as something which might be accomplished sometime later in the 1970s using some unspecified launch vehicle. Of course, the Kennedy administration’s May 1961 commitment to land a crew on the Moon by the end of the decade transformed the existing Apollo program, and for the first time that goal had a scheduled date associated with it. The second event which had a major impact on the scheduling history of the first human landing on the Moon was the spacecraft fire atop Apollo-Saturn 204 at Launch Complex 34 on 27 January 1967 which killed Apollo 1 astronauts Virgil Grissom, Edward White, and Roger Chaffee.<br />

<b>Figure 2: Time Map Overview</b></center><br />
<br />
Figure 2 presents the complete scheduling history of the first human landing on the Moon, outlined in gold. To an engineer’s eye, the scheduling history up until the Apollo 1 accident calls to mind an oscillating signal whose amplitude and frequency are decreasing with time. To a project manager, this makes intuitive sense; one expects that as a project matures, known unknowns become knowns, and unknown unknowns become known unknowns, schedule estimates become more accurate and therefore more settled. The Apollo 1 accident caused a reset to the program, and again one sees the same phenomenon in the scheduling history: an oscillating signal whose amplitude and frequency are decreasing with time.<br />
<br />

<b>Figure 3: Time Map Detail - 1962</b></center><br />
<br />
Figure 3 focuses on the period from December 1961 to June 1962. At the beginning of that period there were two mission modes under consideration: Earth Orbit Rendezvous (EOR), using two Saturn C-4 launch vehicles (see Figure 4), and Direct Ascent (DA), using a huge launch vehicle variously known as the Saturn C-8 or Nova (see Figure 5). The scheduling history of the first lunar landing via these mission modes, brief as it was, is highlighted in orange for EOR and in green for DA in Figure 3.<br />
<br />

<br />
<center><img src="https://ops-alaska.com/images/time_maps/saturn_c-9_nova.jpg" width="418"><br />
<b>Figure 5: Nova</b></center><br />
<br />
The Saturn C-4 design had four F-1 engines in the first stage, generating a total thrust of 6 million pounds, four J-2 engines in the second stage, generating a total thrust of 800 thousand pounds of thrust, and a single J-2 engine in the third stage, generating 200 thousand pounds of thrust.(3) The Saturn C-8 design had eight F-1 engines in the first stage, generating a total thrust of 12 million pounds, eight J-2 engines in the second stage, generating a total thrust of 1.6 million pounds(an alternative configuration had two M-2 engines producing a total of 2 million pounds of thrust), and two J-2 engines in the third stage producing a total of 400 thousand pounds of thrust (an alternative configuration had only a single J-2).(4) In both the DA and EOR modes, the Apollo Command and Service Modules (CSM) would have landed on the Moon (see Figure 6). The Service Propulsion System engine at the rear of the Apollo CSM was originally designed to launch the spacecraft off the surface of the Moon, although it was oversized for the lunar orbit insertion and Trans-Earth injection maneuvers it actually did perform during the Apollo lunar missions.<br />
<br /><center><img src="https://ops-alaska.com/images/time_maps/Apollo1961.gif" width="418"><br />
<b>Figure 6: Apollo EOR and DA Landing Vehicle</b></center><br />
<br />
For the EOR mission mode, an additional spacecraft was required. The Saturn C-4 did not have the payload capability to place the fully-loaded trans-lunar injection stage in low Earth orbit along with the lunar orbit insertion stage and the Apollo spacecraft, so a second, unmanned Saturn C-4 would launch a tanker spacecraft called the T-1, which would dock with the third stage (called the R-1) of the manned Saturn C-4 (see Figure 7). The liquid oxygen propellant in the T-1 would then be transferred to R-1, and from there the mission would proceed exactly as in the DA mode, landing the entire Apollo spacecraft on the Moon and the CSM launching from the surface to return to Earth. On 5 December 1961, little more than 6 months after President Kennedy committed the United States to landing a crew on the Moon by the end of the decade, NASA developed its first launch schedule showing the missions which would lead to the achievement of that goal.(5) NASA considered both the DA and EOR modes to be feasible and to support a human landing on the Moon in mid-1967, thus there was a comfortable 2.5-year schedule margin with respect to Kennedy’s announced goal.<br />
<br /><center><img src="https://ops-alaska.com/images/time_maps/Apollo_T-1.gif" width="418"><br />
<b>Figure 7: Apollo T-1 Docked to R-1</b></center><br />
<br />
Meanwhile, a new mission mode was attracting increased interest: Lunar Orbit Rendezvous (LOR). A great deal of mass could be saved by leaving the main spacecraft in lunar orbit while a small, light vehicle (the Lunar Excursion Module, later shortened to LM) carried two of the three astronauts to and from the surface. The LOR mission mode could be accomplished with a single Saturn C-5 launch vehicle. Later developed as the Saturn V, it contained five F-1 engines in the first stage, generating a total thrust of 7.5 million pounds, five J-2 engines in the second stage, generating a total thrust of 1 million pounds of thrust, and a single J-2 engine in the third stage. A launch schedule produced on 17 May 1962 projected the first landing to occur in November 1967.(6) Not represented in Figure 2 is a 25 May 1962 launch schedule in which Director of Manned Space Flight D. Brainerd Holmes predicted the LOR first landing to take place in August 1966.(7)<br />
<br />
Schedules generated on different dates by different groups working at different offices are likely to be based on different assumptions. On 14 June 1962, Douglas Lord and Arthur Rudolf, assistant directors at the Office of Manned Space Flight, produced an apples-to-apples analysis of the three competing mission modes.(8) Their analysis, which was considerably more conservative than preceding schedule exercises, showed that the EOR first landing, now utilizing two Saturn C-5 launch vehicles, would not occur until January 1969. The DA mission mode came out even worse; because the more powerful Nova or Saturn C-8 launch vehicle would take longer to develop, could not support a first landing any earlier than February 1970. To them, LOR looked like the best bet, promising a first landing as early as October 1968 on Apollo Saturn 512. Shortly after the distribution of this analysis, NASA chose the LOR mission mode for the Apollo program.<br />

<b>Figure 8: Time Map Detail - 1963</b></center><br />
<br />
Referring to Figure 8, on 15 October 1962, Holmes distributed a launch schedule showing the first landing as Apollo Saturn 509 (the ninth Saturn V flight), occurring in October 1967, a full year ahead of the conservative analysis produced by Lord and Rudolf (9). The scheduled launch date for AS-509 remained consistent through June 1963;(10-15) however, a launch schedule produced by Robert O. Pilland of the Manned Spacecraft Center (later Johnson Space Center) showed the first landing occurring on AS-510 (the tenth Saturn V flight) in March 1968,(16) and J. Thomas Markley’s 15 October 1963 flight schedule placed AS-510 in October 1968;(17) thus in only three months the first lunar handing goal had slipped an entire year. George E. Mueller’s 1 November 1963 memorandum confirmed this schedule slip.(18)<br />

<br />
In 1964, NASA made up some of the lost schedule (see Figure 9). A 1 March flight schedule indicated that Apollo 507 would be the first “lunar mission;” although not explicitly stated, it is probable that this mission would have been a lunar orbital dress rehearsal for the first landing attempt on Apollo 508.(19) A mission summary later that month gave the launch date of Apollo 508 as July 1968,(20), as did the mission assignments document of 23 March.(21) By May, Kraft’s Schedule gave Apollo 505 as the first lunar mission; again, this is inferred to be a lunar orbital rehearsal for a first landing attempt on Apollo 506.(22) The 21 July 1964 mission assignments document indicated that Apollo 506 was slated for March 1968.(23) This date held steady throughout 1965 and 1966 (see Figures 10 and 11). It should be noted that in some of these documents, Saturn V missions were ambiguously labeled “lunar mission simulations and lunar missions,” with no specific indication of which mission would perform the first landing attempt, or indeed, what the specific goals and mission profiles of any of these flights might be; thus, determining for what the date of the first landing attempt might reasonably be estimated requires a judgment call based on the sequence of missions leading up to the first landing attempt which NASA defined later in the Apollo program.(24-30) With this caveat, it may be observed that the Apollo program had passed through its early years of schedule fluctuations and had settled into a firm schedule with a comfortable 21-month margin with respect to the end of the decade.<br />

<br />Of course, the Apollo 204 spacecraft fire through that firm schedule out the window (see Figure 12). In fact, the launch schedule had already begun to slip due to delays in the development of the Saturn V launch vehicle. Robert C. Seamans issued a document on 24 February 1967 which indicated that Apollo 506 and Apollo 507, which before the Apollo 204 accident had been slated for the third and fourth quarters of 1968, respectively, were to be either lunar mission simulations or lunar missions;(31) it may be reasonably speculated that Apollo 506 would have been a lunar orbital rehearsal for Apollo 507’s landing attempt. It is worth noting that a 4 February 1967 Soviet government decree outlined a schedule to land the first cosmonaut on the Moon in September 1968 (highlighted in yellow in Figure 12), although it was the opinion of Nikolai Petrovich Kamanin, commander of the cosmonaut detachment, that no lunar landing could occur until 1969.(32) On paper, the race for the Moon was now a dead heat.<br />
<br />
George M. Low’s letter of 4 May 1967 pointed to the first landing attempt occurring on Apollo 505 in October 1968.(33) However, as the consequences of the Apollo 204 accident rippled through NASA, a new conservatism became increasingly evident. Mueller’s 1 November 1967 memorandum indicated that the lunar landing phase of the Apollo program would not begin until Apollo 509 in December 1969;(34) there was no longer any margin in the launch schedule to absorb further delays if the goal was to be achieved “before this decade is out.”<br />

<b>Figure 13: Time Map Detail - 1969</b></center><br />
<br />
In the face of being up against this politically-driven deadline, NASA managers looked for ways to abbreviate the schedule and open up a margin in case the landing could not be achieved on the first attempt. The January 1968 mission assignments document defined the lunar mission phase, beginning with what was now designated Mission F (the lunar orbital rehearsal), as being assigned to Apollo 506 through Apollo 515.(35) According to the Apollo launch schedule, Apollo 507 (presumably Mission G, the first landing attempt) was scheduled for July 1969; however, this schedule was predicated on Mission D, the lunar mission simulation in low Earth orbit, occurring on Apollo 504 in December 1968 (highlighted in green in Figure 13), and the delivery of the Lunar Module for this mission was falling behind schedule. Despite the delay in the Saturn V development program and the year and a half consumed by the redesign of the Command Module in the aftermath of the Apollo 204 fire, it was the LM that ultimately turned out to be the long pole in the tent. Apollo 4 (Apollo 501) had performed Mission A-1 successfully on 9 November 1967, and two more unmanned Saturn V flights were contemplated before Mission D on Apollo 504. The first unmanned low Earth orbital LM test on Apollo 5 (Apollo 204, using the same launch vehicle atop which Grissom, White, and Chaffee had perished a year earlier) performed Mission B-1 successfully on 22 January 1968, and the deletion of a planned Mission B-2 was contemplated, but while this would save money, it would not affect the schedule for Mission D.(36) Apollo 6 (Apollo 502) performed Mission A-2 well enough on 4 April 1968 to cancel a third unmanned Saturn V test (Mission A-3) and assign Apollo 503 to Mission D (highlighted in purple in Figure 13), still scheduled for December 1968.(37) By August 1968, it became clear that LM-3 would not be ready in time for a December launch, and that an alternate mission had to be considered for AS-503. Launching only a CSM on a Saturn V on a low Earth orbital mission would be a needlessly expensive repeat of the Mission C, the first manned Apollo mission, that was planned for Apollo 7 launched on a smaller Saturn IB (AS-205). Deputy NASA Administrator Thomas O. Paine reported a consensus “to hold options open for December mission with range of alternatives from low earth orbit to the maximum capability of a lunar orbital mission,” but “the final decision to fly the ultimate mission must clearly be held until after Apollo 7 flight in October.”(38) Apollo 7 being an unqualified success, Apollo 8 became a CSM-only lunar orbital flight designated as Mission C-Prime (highlighted in green in Figure 13). Mission D was slipped to Apollo 9 (AS-504) in March 1969; however, Apollo 8’s early lunar orbital mission eliminated the need for Mission E (highlighted in orange), which was to have flown the complete CSM-LM package in an elliptical orbit ranging out to 5000 nautical miles. Swapping Mission E for Mission C-Prime allowed Mission F (Apollo 10, AS-505) to remain on schedule for May 1969, and likewise allowed Mission G (Apollo 11, AS-506) to remain on schedule for July 1969. If the Apollo 11 landing attempt was not achieved, Apollo 12 could make a second attempt before the end of 1969.<br />

I do not know the man, but I do know to organizational culture of the professional military officer in which General Flynn served with honor and distinction for 33 years. We are supposed to put the nation first, over any political party, over any campaign or candidate. Yet, most of us had never heard of Michael Flynn until he led a frenzied convention hall in a chant of “Lock her up!”
<br />
<br />
General Flynn had led disciplined troops into battle during his career, but it is possible that the unbridled energy of a screaming mob in a political venue was something for which he was emotionally unprepared. It is possible that soaking up this energy further propelled him along a path to personal tragedy, a path which had begun with his removal as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the Obama administration, a path along which he became susceptible to Donald Trump’s long con and became briefly a major player in it.
<br />
<br />
Suddenly, having reached the height of his power and influence, Michael Flynn was pulled down. It should be remembered how short a time it was following his removal as National Security Advisor that he signaled his willingness to tell everything he knew to federal investigators, if only they would give him immunity. That was about the last we heard of him in the spring of 2017. A year and a half later, we now know that he did not received immunity, but he did get the next best offer: no prison time, no "Lock him up!"
<br />
<br />
That Michael Flynn will remain a free man is a startling measure of how fully and freely his has cooperated with the Office of the Special Counsel. He may have done so out of self-interest, but there is more to it than that. I suspect that in that sudden plunge from the pinnacle, the scales fell from his eyes and he remembered the professional military officer and guardian of the Constitution he had been for so many years. I would not be surprised, if General Flynn were to someday re-emerge into the public eye, that we would see a side of the man which few have ever seen. We would witness a sincerely penitent man, one who has long since come to realize how he allowed his bruised pride and a consuming anger to drive him on a course to self-destruction. I believe he would be the first to affirm that there is no excuse for his actions, but this may be the explanation.<br />

Copyright © 2018 by Thomas Gangale</center>
<br />
From the reports I have seen, Trump reads very little. He insists that memos be about a half-page, never more than one page. This leads me to wonder whether he is learning-disabled. More than lacking the interest or discipline to read, he may not be able to read very well. I have close family members who have these problems. It would certainly account for his small vocabulary, poor spelling, simplistic sentence structure, and repetitiveness. This may be one of the roots of his insecurity, indeed, the biggest and deepest one. Perhaps he has spent his whole life hiding this disability for fear that people will think he is stupid. In turn, this insecurity would explain why he often feels the need to claim that he is a genius (real geniuses don't have to make such claims, as their published work makes their genius obvious), and why he has such a penchant to put down other people as being stupid. To be fair, although I question whether he has an exceptionally high IQ, I doubt whether it is particularly low either. In my view, the people in Trump 's inner circle who have been quoted as calling him an idiot, a moron, et cetera, are off the mark.<br />
<br />
People living with disabilities can learn to successfully compensate for them. I myself am a comparatively slow reader, but I have always enjoyed reading, and I compensate by having better retention than most people. I still remember snippets of things I read 50 years ago, whereas watching a video for a second time five years later is almost like watching it for the first time. My disabilities are mild; in any case, each of us acquires and retains information differently.<br />
<br />
What I do question about Trump is whether he ever developed successful compensation strategies to overcome what might very well be severe learning disabilities. A 72-year-old man who finds it challenging to read a one-page memo clearly has failed in this regard; indeed, his compensation strategy is a spectacularly self-defeating one: running off at the mouth about how smart he is while doing little if anything to increase his knowledge. He projects the outward appearance of being too arrogant to learn anything, that he already knows everything he needs to know, and that he knows better than everyone else about most anything, which is bad enough. He is also talented at getting millions of people to believe that war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength, which is worse still. However, the worst of all may be that he secretly believes that he cannot learn anything and has long since given up, that he has a deep-seated compulsion to tell the world how great he is in order to conceal the shortcomings which feed his insecurities, a self-destructive feedback loop.<br />
<br />
I take it that Bob Woodward entitled his new book "Fear" because the people around Trump live in fear of his irresponsible behavior and recklessness, and therefore the danger he presents to the republic; but the root of the fear is inside Trump himself. As much as he craves the spotlight, he fears the light being shone on his handicaps for all the world to discover, point fingers at, and ridicule: "Look at that poor, mentally-crippled, old man and the silly things he says! Ha ha ha! He's so funny, but isn't it... SAD!"Tom Gangalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04498061081096967490noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077703493968545146.post-73804171695583843312018-08-14T13:14:00.000-07:002018-09-09T16:28:28.635-07:00White Anxiety...

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Will someone please explain to me
why I should give a damn about "massive demographic changes?" My
great-grandfather came from Ireland as part of a "massive demographic
change" which flooded the unskilled labor market and depressed wages, not
to mention the "drinking and brawling" his people brought to this
country. My grandfather came from Italy as part of a "massive demographic
change" which flooded the unskilled labor market and depressed wages, not
to mention the "noise and crime" his people brought to this country.
Come to think of it, the native Americans of the Hudson Valley probably weren't
too wild about my Dutch ancestors moving into their neighborhood in the 17th
century.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The America I know and love does
indeed exist. It is the America which is always changing, always re-inventing
itself, always struggling to become more inclusive, always searching for new
rights to be won, always striving to form a more perfect union. There was a
time when the idea of an Irish American like Jack Kennedy running for president
would have been unthinkable, or a Greek American like Michael Dukakis, or an
Italian American like Mario Cuomo or Rick Santorum, or a Mexican American like
Bill Richardson, or an African American like Barack Obama or Ben Carson, or a
Cuban American like Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio. Does Laura Ingraham have a problem
with the prospect of Nikki Haley, a South Asian who was born Nimrata Randhawa,
running for president someday? Put that name on a lawn sign and tell me how
white she is. The America I know and love welcomes the good and the
hard-working from wherever they may come.</span></div>

take whatever, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, the Arab world, or any other
would-be adversary may care to bring at us. Laura Ingraham may fear them; I
don’t, because we are Russians, we are Chinese, we are Iranians, we are
Koreans, we are Arabs. All of these angry lands have American branches in their
family trees. That is what makes America an unstoppable force of history. We
are the world. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to
our own. Your culture will adapt to us. You will be assimilated. Resistance is
futile.</span></div>

So that I am not disturbed during the day, my mother has taken it upon herself to take my car to be serviced. However, she soon returned to the house to announce, "Your car won't start for me."<br /><br />"The it probably won't start for me either."<br /><br />"But you drive it, so you probably do something automatically without thinking that I don't know about."<br /><br />The battery had been put back in my car a couple of days earlier after being up on blocks for three years. I pointed this out as I rose from my desk. "I'll see what I can do." I got into the car and I turned the ignition key; my car started right up.<br /><br />"What did you do?"<br /><br />"I turned the key."<br /><br />"So did I."<br /><br />"Perhaps not enough."<br /><br />I returned to my room to resume work. My mother was back a few minutes later. "I can't release the hand brake."<br /><br />"This is like 'Fawlty Towers.' Shall I beat the car with a shrub?"<br /><br />"That's it! Put a bit of stick about!" That was from a different BBC series entirely. I marched out to my car once again.<br /><br />"Have you made any progress on your book today?"<br /><br />"Not in the last fifteen minutes!"<br /><br />I seated myself in my car and released the hand brake.<br /><br />"How did you do that?"<br /><br />"I pushed the button."<br /><br />"So did I."<br /><br />"Perhaps not enough."<br /><br />Leaving nothing to chance, I patiently remained outside to watch my mother slowly back my car our of its parking space and eventually drive away. It was now 8:25am.

I
first saw Beka at a pet supply store in Strawberry in mid-March, about
six weeks after we arrived in Sausalito. The Tongilava Pack had killed
my oldest cat Dylan as soon as I had put him in my room with them. 'Ono
had disappeared a couple of days later. I was still grieving for Dylan,
my old hunting buddy, when I saw Beka. She had the same gray tabby
pattern on the top of her head as Dylan and his brother Rhade, which
brought me to tears. She was still in the store a couple of weeks later
when I stopped by for more supplies. It was then that I was told that
she was being sponsored at the store by a second-chance, no-kill animal
shelter. Something else I had seen somewhere earlier that day had read
"second chance," I forget what. I had a good, long cry in the car. I
came home and told my mother about Beka. Initially she had been less
than enthusiastic about my bringing four dogs and three cats into her
house, but now she asked me if I wanted to bring Beka home. I was still
shocked at how the Tongilava Pack had turned on Dylan, but I attributed
that to their being stressed from the 24-hour trip and ending up in a
strange place, and with 'Ono gone, Haisheng was now the only cat.
Haisheng loved the dogs, especially Bette and Denzel, whom she would
cuddle with and sometimes bathe, but that wasn't the same thing; she
didn't have another cat to bather her. My mother said that Beka would be
her early birthday present to me, so we drove to the store and brought
Beka home.<br />

<br />
After the experience of 'Ono disappearing, I
determined to keep Beka in my room for several weeks to be sure that she
knew that it was her new home. I allowed Haisheng to come and go as she
pleased, but she never stayed out for more than a few minutes at a
time. In May I learned that 'Ono was very much alive and showing up on a
neighbor's security camera, and by the end of the month I trapped her.
Again, I wanted to keep 'Ono in my room for several weeks before
allowing her out again, so in time I decided that the Fourth of July
would be Beka's and 'Ono's Independence Day.<br />
<br />
During her eight
days of freedom, Beka meowed loudly and trailed behind me every morning
as I took the Tongilava pack to the backyard. I always closed the gate
behind me, of course, before letting the pack off their leashes, and
this also stopped Beka from following me into the yard. Yesterday, on
the ninth day, Beka hopped the fence to bypass the gate, and too young,
too trusting, she dropped down into the yard to follow me. There was no
nearby cover for her, she was in the open and exposed. One of the dogs
spooked her, she ran, and the pack gave chase. In seconds, Beka was
fatally wounded, and she died with me standing over her at the hospital
less than two hours later.<br />
As I write this, Beka is on my bed.
The dogs and cats sniff her cold, motionless body from time to time. We
usually have a party in the morning; I hand-feed them treats as I call
them by name before I let them out for the day. There is no party this
morning. The dogs are subdued. Bette sits next to Beka, head hung down,
looking away from me. They know that Beka is dead, they remember that
they attacked her, and they sense that I am sad. How they correlate
these facts in their wolf brains, I can only speculate. It is time to
let them out and to greet the new day.<br />

Ono Fainga'a <br />
<br />
Her close relative Nima (number five) had been removed from the same
colony and given to the Fainga'a home in the Longolongo district of
Nuku'alofa, and in July 2015 I removed Ono from the colony with the intention of reuniting her with Nima in Longolongo; however, she ended up staying in the Tongilalva house in Fanga with two other cats and four dogs.<br />

Ono, Haisheng, and Dylan </div>
<br />
All of these cats and dogs were flown to San Francisco on 1 February 2018, but three days later Ono escaped from her new residence in Sausalito. Weeks went by, and people assumed that a coyote had caught her. Then on 23 April there was a pile of feathers on the front doorstep. Could it be a message from Ono? She was known to be an excellent bird hunter in Tonga, and since dogs breed out of control and roam freely there, Ono had learned to avoid them, so it was possible that she had evaded the coyotes of Marin for three months. On 6 May a neighbor across the street reported that one of her security cameras had imaged a cat matching her description during the night: a gray cat with a white-tipped tail.<br />

The Cat Owns the Night</div>
<br />
The quest to bring Ono home began. On 8 May <a href="https://www.marinferals.org/">Marin Friends of Ferals</a> provided a humane trap and a motion-activated camera. The camera imaged her near the trap on 11 May and on several nights thereafter, but then raccoons began visiting the trap, and within a few days a raccoon was caught in it. In the early morning hours of 18 May Ono ventured halfway into the trap for the first time. A raccoon was caught again that night.<br />

Ono returned to the trap about an hour after nightfall on 20 May. The food was now positioned deep inside it, but not past the trigger plate. She sniffed around for awhile and left. Finally, a little while after 01:00 hours on 21 May she went all of the way into trap for the first time. She entered the trap three more times during the next four hours. It was now time to position the food where Ono would spring the trap. Just has she had done the night before, Ono came to the trap a little more than an hour after full darkness and was promptly trapped at 22:03 hours. After 106 days of enjoying the night life of Hurricane Gulch, Ono Fainga'a was home.<br />

the China Lake Naval Weapons Center at Ridgecrest, near Mojave and Edwards. A
few weeks after the conference, the Mensa member informed Marilyn that Mensa
was conducting an entrance exam at Cerro Coso Community College the upcoming
Saturday. That was 430 miles from where we lived in Petaluma, a nearly
seven-hour drive under favorable conditions. I am quite certain that we could have
found a much closer exam site had we really cared to look into it, but for us
it was another excuse to be road warriors.</span></div>

up before dawn to catch the commute bus, returning to Petaluma late that afternoon.
Rather than immediate depart for Ridgecrest through Friday evening traffic, we
messed around at the Petaluma Factory Outlets to do some gratuitous shopping,
then hit the road in earnest in fading light. We stopped for a midnight meal
somewhere in the San Joaquin Valley, and later we stopped for coffee, and we
stopped for coffee, and we stopped for coffee… yeah, one of those trips. We
reached Ridgecrest at first light. We crashed for a couple of hours in our host’s
spare room, never really getting to sleep after being wired from doing Radar
Love all frakking night. Then we grabbed a couple of breakfast burritos and a
couple of large cups of orange juice at a drive-thru (Southern California

That's not going to happen.<br />
<br />
I still have no death certificate, nor do I have the medical examiner's report.<br />
<br />
Early Monday afternoon, 27 November the police came by to tell me that I
could sign the transfer of custody document at the hospital in town, a
25-minute drive over a bumpy road. When we got to the place they were
supposed to be at the hospital, there was no one to be found. We waited
an hour, while someone phoned someone who phoned someone... then I
pulled the plug and went back to Holonga.<br />
<br />
On Thursday morning, 30 November, the local head of police came by to
deliver a document which my friend Paino needed to pick up a load of
sand for the grave site from a government supplier. He said that that
the fee for storing Marilyn's body at the hospital morgue would be paid
for by the police.<br />
<br />
Paino and his wife Ngame finally tracked down around 10pm Friday night, 1
December, a document affirming death by natural causes. It was dated 27
November, and apparently this is a document I should have received on
Monday when we were waiting to no avail in the hospital.<br />
<br />
Earlier on Friday evening a morgue official told Paino and Ngame that
they wanted $1,000 TOP for storing the body since Monday. Apparently,
the police paid for storage up to the time the document was issued,
which I did not see until 10:30pm on Friday. Paino told me that the
morgue charges $100 TOP per day for deceased Tongans and $200 TOP per
day for deceased foreigners. Tongan Rule #1: Gouge the palangi; they
always have money. So, the morgue is demanding $200 TOP per day for the
five days during which I could not move the body because someone
couldn't do his job and hand me the document on 27 November.<br />
<br />
I told Paino and Ngame to tell them that I would pay for half a day,
from 11pm Friday night until 11am Saturday morning, 2 December, by which
time we would take custody of the body and remove it from the morgue,
at the $100 TOP rate for a total of $50 TOP, otherwise they should thank
the morgue officials very much, and tell them that they were welcome to
dispose of the body at their convenience. As "My Cousin Vinny" said,
that's what we call a counteroffer. It was a lowball but justifiable
opening position which I knew would insult them. They deserve to be
insulted. Paino and Ngame delivered my message to a morgue official at
her home around midnight. I have been given to understand that she was
"furious."<br />
<br />
So, no funeral today, Saturday, 2 December. Instead, I will work to
compile a timeline of events, witnesses thereto, and documents in
preparation of a legal case. Meanwhile, because Monday, 4 December, is a
government holiday, Sitaleki Fainga’a, our neighbor from when Marilyn
and I lived in Longolongo, and who has been a driver for Speakers of the
Legislative Assembly for more than twenty years, plans to talk to
someone at the Foreign Ministry on Tuesday, 5 December. I will have the
timeline prepared for him so that he can explain clearly what has been
happening. Sitaleki’s meeting at the Foreign Ministry is likely to be
the first in a series of moves along that particular path. Transactions
of this kind are based on personal connections. To get what one wants in
Tonga, one needs to know someone who knows someone.<br />
<br />
One move which I am prepared to make if necessary is lodge a complaint
with the US Embassy in nearby Fiji (there is no US diplomatic mission in
Tonga).<br />
<br />
To some observers it may appear that a shabby game is being played over
Marilyn’s corpse, but in my view, this is a matter of fairness and
justice. Extortion abetted by incompetence cannot be tolerated. It is
exactly the kind of fight which Marilyn relished. I have no doubt that
if she is watching from Heaven, she is cheering me on. This is what she
and I do: we fight for people's rights, no less our own. Although
Marilyn has passed to another dimension of existence, we still fight
together.<br />
<br />
This is going to take time to play out, possibly even several weeks. But
as Adlai Stevenson told Soviet representative in the United Nations
Security Council during the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, “I am
prepared to wait until Hell freezes over.”Tom Gangalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04498061081096967490noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077703493968545146.post-184078022160531292017-12-01T15:59:00.001-08:002017-12-01T15:59:40.045-08:00In Memory of Marilyn Rebecca Dudley, 1 August 1953 – 19 November 2017<div class="_5pbx userContent _22jv _3576" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="js_19">
Marilyn Dudley’s journey through her sixty-four years was an American
journey, and also a Martian journey. The eldest child of a small-town
working-class family in South Carolina in the 1950s, she was the first
in her family to go to college. As significant an achievement as that
was for her family, this was only the beginning of her journey.</div>
<div class="_5pbx userContent _22jv _3576" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="js_19">
<br />
Although she now had a bachelor’s degree from Winthrop College, she
chose to enlist in the United States Army toward the end of the Vietnam
War, hoping to be selected to attend Officer Candidate School later.
After training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, she was assigned to the
172nd Light Infantry Brigade at Fort Richardson, Alaska, where she came
to the notice of then Lieutenant Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, the
brigade’s deputy commander. LtCol Schwarzkopf selected Private Dudley to
participate in what was then a daring experiment: to train her as an
arctic and mountain combat infantry soldier. Marilyn was one of the
original “GI Janes,” and she wore the blue infantry rope with great
pride.<br />
<br />
Marilyn cut short her enlistment to raise a family;
however, her only child had multiple birth defects and lived only a few
days. These are the sorrows which only a woman can know and bear.
Following this personal tragedy, she resumed her education, earning two
master’s degrees from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, where she
pioneered the use of aerial and satellite imagery to discover
archaeological sites in Alaska and also developed public policy for the
rational management of the state’s vast energy lands.<br />
<br />
Marilyn
returned to South Carolina in the late 1980s to enter the doctoral
program in sociology at the University of South Carolina. Once again,
she was a pioneer, developing an objective, quantitative coding method
to study the incidence of social deviance in polar expeditions and space
missions. Her work verified the “Third Quarter Phenomenon,” the
hypothesis that acts of social deviance within a small, isolated group
tend to spike just after the midpoint of an expedition. Her data also
showed that the more diverse a crew was--in professional background,
age, and gender--the better it got along, and the fewer and less intense
the acts of social deviance the crew experienced. It was Marilyn’s
belief that her findings had important implications for future
long-duration expeditions into deep space, including to Mars and to
asteroids.<br />
<br />
In the late 1990s, Marilyn was selected as the primary
North American female candidate to participate in a long-duration space
mission simulation at the Institute for Biomedical Problems in Moscow.
Dues to a scheduling conflict, she was obliged to rotate to the backup
assignment in favor of a Canadian researcher. In any case, during her
work on this project, she co-authored a technical note on feminine
hygiene procedures aboard the Russian space station simulator, for
despite having launched the first woman in to space, the Soviet/Russian
space program actually had very little experience with women in space.<br />
<br />
I met Marilyn just as she was competing her work on her PhD. We
happened to be on the initial design team for a Mars surface habitat
simulator, which, although the design later changed significantly,
versions were deployed in the Canadian arctic and in the Great Basin of
the American West. Together we worked on many symposium papers to
increase the knowledge base for sending humans to Mars someday, a day
which we both hoped to live to see. We were a Martian couple, not in the
sense of being space aliens, of course, but in the sense that we were
among a relatively small but international community working for the day
when humans would not simply walk on Mars and return to Earth, but
transform Mars into a new planetary home for humankind.<br />
<br />
Yet, in
another sense, and perhaps more real, Marilyn was a Martian. In Italian,
<i>marziana</i> means not only a stranger, but the ultimate outsider. Marilyn
was all of that. Even in the 21st century, to be a brilliant and
well-educated woman is to be despised as a witch and to be feared, most
especially by male colleagues. I have no doubt that as much as she was
able to achieve in her life, she would have accomplished even more had
she been a man. She could be rather mannish in her handling of
confrontations, never backing down; she was scarcely a shrinking violet,
and this was something that neither men nor women could easily accept.
She suffered more than a few professional setbacks due to this. It was
this mannish woman which I did dearly come to love, and moreover, to
respect.<br />
<br />
Emblematic of her strength of character and courage,
Marilyn deployed to Afghanistan as a civilian contractor to the United
States Army as an intelligence asset in 2008 at the age of 55. Here she
stepped directly into the culture clash not only of being an academic in
a combat zone, but also into the culture clash of being an intelligent,
middle-aged woman in a quintessentially young man’s world, in which
post-adolescent testosterone only valued women if they were Barbie
dolls. The outcome of this combined culture clash was not only
unfortunate, it poorly served the interests of the United States of
America in its struggle against terrorism, for whatever our ages, our
genders, or our professional backgrounds, we must be one team, one fight
if we are to prevail. But young reservists called to active duty
derided her as a fat old woman, unable to believe that she had once worn
the same blue infantry rope, oblivious to her experience and to her
wisdom. Yet again, Marilyn was the Martian, the unwelcome outsider. She
had lived so long that her youthful accomplishments were denied by
foolish young men who had no sense of history. As I drove to Fort
Leavenworth through the “Martian weather” of mid-western winter to
receive her return from the theater of operations, mindful that she
might not return at all, in my mind, Sheryl Crow’s “On Borrowed Time”
became our theme song.<br />
<br />
When I met Marilyn, I had stagnated for
twenty years, going nowhere in particular in my life. Simply meeting
her, seeing her example, hearing and reading her ideas, inspired me to
retool and to better myself. I returned to school in my late forties,
earning first a master’s degree and then a doctorate. During these years
we often bounced ideas off each other, sparking each other’s intellects
and putting those results to text, presenting our jointly-authored
papers at aerospace symposia. Marilyn was no less a valuable sounding
board to me during my pursuit of these two degrees.<br />
<br />
During the
past eight years, Marilyn and I had settled in the Kingdom of Tonga in
the South Pacific. We had come to teach at first, and later we had
settled into semi-retirement as I continued my schooling. I sometimes
referred to her as “my dearest partner of greatness,” as Shakespeare’s
Macbeth saluted his lady, for whatever small greatness we might achieve,
we would achieve together, even were it a barren throne which we must
bequeath to others not our biological progeny. She fell ill with several
mosquito-borne tropical diseases, one after another, contending with
their aftereffects for three years. A few months after earning my
doctorate in juridical sciences in space, cyber, and telecommunications
law at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, I returned to Tonga to
reunite with Marilyn. Now that I had completed the solo work of my
dissertation which had consumed my efforts for two years, I was looking
forward to the many works we would write together as two doctors and two
Martians. As I traveled to her, on my mind was “On Borrowed Time.”<br />
<br />
Our borrowed time had come to an end. I came home from the airport to
find Marilyn sleeping, or so I thought. Having been gone for eight
months, I had no idea how ill she had become during my long absence. I
had spoken to her by telephone several times during my stay in the
United States, but she had always assured me that her health was
improving. I lay down beside her that evening, aching from a full day’s
travel a quarter of the way around the world, trekking through airports
on knees long past their warranty. I was determined to argue the next
morning that Marilyn should go to the United States for medical care
while I remained in Tonga to care for our dogs and cats, so that when
she recovered her health and returned to Tonga, we could resume our work
together. I had made the same suggestion by telephone several times
during the past eight months, but I was now prepared to be more forceful
in person. She slipped away quietly next to me that very night. We
never exchanged a single word. As Macbeth said of his lady’s untimely
demise, “She should have died hereafter. There would have come a time
for such a word… tomorrow....”<br />
<br />
I will continue Marilyn’s work,
the work into which she initiated me, the work of all our yesterdays,
and of all our tomorrows which should have been. I will continue the
mission alone to the best of my ability, while this brief candle yet
flickers. I owe her my life, and only in this way can I give it to her.<br />
<br />
While I was away in America for eight months, I completed work on a
novel which I so much looked forward to sharing with Marilyn, her having
had both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in English literature, as
well as having been an avid fan of the science fiction genre. In that
way we both lived in the future more than in the present. Set two and
half centuries in the future, one of the principle characters in my
novel is a man who recently has been brought back to life in
interstellar space after 266 years of hibernation, to find that twelve
of his companions have perished during that long sleep. The soliloquy I
wrote for my fictional character a few months ago is fitting to include
herein:<br />
<br />
“My comrades, my friends, my brothers and sisters, have I
come too late to mourn you? Do you excuse this tardy funeral and its
pitiful attendance? I was in a timeless sleep while your last breaths
slipped away only a few meters from my heedless serenity, and then I
awakened light-years away to find that you had departed centuries ago
for that eternal state which awaits us all, a state whose frontier is
unmarked, yet which we all know is much closer than we would like. How
lost in time we all are in our different ways. I would ask you now, do
we ever find our way? Shall we be together again? Is there some rescue
as we sink into the blackness? Is there any answer? But if you know now
what you did not know when you could speak, your knowledge is a silent
one, incommunicable to those who are most desperate to know it. And so
here in the firmament our ancestors once imagined was the abode of gods,
we have become the masters of many worlds, yet we are as ignorant as
the first ape who realized that his time on Earth would someday end.
This is all we understand even now: that it ends. What is the purpose of
knowing this? How is it useful in any way? What unjust gods would
freely impart to us this unhappy lesson and deny us learning more?”<br />
<br />
Marilyn would have understood had she but lived to read these poor
words. Born on Earth in a land where old times are not forgotten and now
being laid to rest in the land where time begins, born in the twentieth
and living though the early part of the twenty-first, Marilyn was a
woman of centuries we have yet to see, and of worlds upon which we have
yet to set foot.</div>
