The fact that you have a PH.D in engineering and that you are older than I had first expected (only thought you were younger because of the sexual overtones immediately referenced in relation to Jim's not so inhibited feelings(shame on Jim! He's both married and a rabbi!! LOL!!!) for the flawed doctor who also is the great-granddaughter of Hawking. Anyway, your chapter headings, your credentials and age have really gotten me interested in reading on further. So, let me see what I think. <br /><br />Lisa Krasonja-Jones, <br />B.S. Biopsychology '91' from UMCP,College Park; <br />J.D. in Law '03' from University of Baltimore with a Concentration in Intellectual Property Law, Member of Intellectual Property Law Journal.<br />Practice part time in any area; not licensed in patent law (perhaps a future goal).<br /><br />P.S. My interests are obviously law, but my higher interests include mathematics (the language of God), astrophysics, astronomy, genetics,and most of all consciousness, as defined to exist in anything, including machinery as long as it has the requisite intelligence for self-awareness as defined by some mathematical formula (this concept blew me away when I understood it!). Favorite pass-time included watching the science fiction channel, the science channel, the history channel, the Smithsonian channel, National Geographic channel, and so on. One of my only regrets: I didn't get a B.S. in engineering. Everybody should have an engineering degree! It's the MOST valuable undergraduate degree one can possess! It's worth every cent and dime! I'm presently, taking free courses online at MIT, it's part of their effort in manifesting their belief that education should be free for anybody that wants to learn. So, minus the cost and unfortunately the degree, my goal is to become a self-taught engineer in electrical engineering, as well as computer science. <br />I believe that reading fiction novels based on the hardcore sciences is the best way to learn more about the subject. I also would like to see more novels written by people like yourself to also include corroborative mathematical formulas.<br />I'm also interested in Witchcraft, Kaballah, and other Shamanic, and Hypnotic arts (Edgar Cayce is a seer of great interest to me). I have a split Judaic-Christian(Catholic)background that I wouldn't wish upon anybody. It's much worse than being raised by parents of the same religion! I imagine it's almost as tough as being bi-racial. Culturally, it's like being bi-racial. The only benefit I see fit is that I have good knowledge of both religions; sort of like being bi-lingual. Would I've traded that knowledge to be raised one way or the other? Yes! LOL. For example, my mother expected all of her children to have higher educations, where as my father could have cared less, and kicked me out of the house at 18. In fact, out of the 4 million dollars he inherited from his parents 20 years ago, he has spent a mere $50 total on me. So, I had the pressure to be educated (by my Jewish mother), but had no support whatsoever to carry it through, not by family, not by community! Yes, it was/is rough and lonely not having either family or community support, especially when you've done nothing to cause such an underdog situation. If I were raised by a mother that was like my father, I wouldn't have cared to be educated because that wouldn't have been stressed in my life. And if my mother would have married a man like herself, I would have had a supportive father, and would have also been locked in the community as well! It's actually I lot tougher than it sounds; to be raised bi-culturally.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck writing career. I look forward to reading this novel of yours.<br />railroadxing@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730447845125574672.post-29517221368685643652011-09-28T01:52:20.800-04:002011-09-28T01:52:20.800-04:00Wow, Fantastic Blog, it’s so helpful to me, and yo...Wow, Fantastic Blog, it’s so helpful to me, and your blog is very good,Adult Diapershttp://diapersoutlet.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730447845125574672.post-43601659292281655912011-08-06T23:43:01.237-04:002011-08-06T23:43:01.237-04:00the constant use of spanglish is a turn off.the constant use of spanglish is a turn off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
