Numerical Explorations

I am alive today at 66 years old due to the empathy, patience, and protection of my beloved hometown: LaGrange, Georgia. I should have been dead or totally lost in 1970s and 1980s. I am deeply indebted to my country, the United States of North America, for granting me the fundamental rights that are given to each citizen namely the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution of United States of North America. I know I complain a l lot about various governments mistreating me, but those entities have been quite tolerant of me despite all my shenanigans.

After almost decade and a half of many online applications, I finally was granted and honored to have three live interviews for federal jobs at my second most favorite federal entity, name redacted, in the year of 2018 and 2019. Previously, I was elated when I got as far as a telephone interview in either 2010 or 2011 and I  was happy, happy, happy until I received the rejection email. I also took online and in person tests for the name redacted entity in interval 2015 to 2017.

I joined the dating website ZOOSK on May 8, 2020. I am a paying member and spent $29.95 on the basic one-month plan and $9.99 for a feature of the website I felt would be beneficial. ZOOSK monetizes all its features. I have not gotten into many conversations with the females on the website. Here is one of my opening lines:

I like your pictures and I would like to chat with you. I am James Pate Williams, Jr, which is my whole legal name and I have been open and honest on the Internet since December 1995. I think you deserve a chance to look me up online before making any return comments.

Probably a lot of people believe I should not use the preceding disclaimer initially, but I vehemently disagree. I believe that potential dates need to be well informed before making the slightest commitment.

I have made a concerted effort to add more walking to my daily rituals. Here is my current log:

I estimate that I cover one statue mile (5,280 feet = 1,760 yards) in approximately 20 minutes. I have not calculated the number of steps per minute or mile.

I am on at least two medications that cause weight gain and maybe eventually obesity and perhaps diabetes. The pharmaceuticals are ABILIFY and olanzapine both of which are strong anti-psychotics. I have heard that for weight loss, it is a good idea to eat small meals more than three times a day. I hate being overweight, but my genetics, milieu,  and actions have dealt me a bad hand to use a poker analogy. No, I do not believe in conscious gambling.

A graph is a set of nodes and edges. An edge connects one node to another node. Given a graph the Graph Coloring Problem involves coloring each node with no two nodes of the same color being connected using the minimum number of colors. The Graph Coloring Problem is an example of constraint satisfaction problem.

The A-12 was the penultimate success of the Lockheed “Skunk Works” and Clarence Leonard “Kelly” Johnson. His final design and implementation work include the U-2 Dragon Lady, the YF-12A, A-12 Oxcart (Archangel), and SR-71 Blackbird. All but the YF-12A were exceptional reconnaissance aircraft. The YF-12A was a ruse by Mr. Johnson to try to convince U.S.S.R. intelligence that the plane was a high altitude Mach-3 interceptor and thus could shoot down U.S.S.R. MIRV ballistic missiles in the reentry phase of their flights.

USAF Colonel Ken Collins Retired was in an A-12 Oxcart that had a mechanical failure causing a crash. Collins parachuted to safety at 25,000 feet. The CIA used sodium thiopental (truth serum) on Collins and I quote the CIA paper below: “Collins willingly took truth serum to help his memory.”

There are so many good papers that document the real work of the CIA on their official website. Every U. S. citizen and resident should be proud of our excellent intelligence partners past, present, and future: CIA, FBI, and NSA.

The NSA’s primary role is first and foremost electronic signals intelligence and interpretation. One of the FBI’s high priority  jobs is counterintelligence which leads to arresting and interrogating foreign spies and potentially disloyal U.S. citizens. Finally, among the tasks assigned by law (National Security Act of 1947) is gathering intelligence on foreign soil and sending the results back to a station or headquarters for thorough analysis and investigation.
