The Supreme Court always sides with the courts retaining their power. Justice Kavanaugh's recent ruling with the Liberal side of the court was not any attempt to appeal to the Left. It demonstrates his knowledge of the tech world of developers and his belief that judges should be able to judge. The remaining Conservative justices on the Court sided with precedent, not with business reality. The Liberals on the Court simply ruled against business and monopoly with their activist ideals. Kavanaugh was the only justice who ruled objectively, notwithstanding that courts always rule in favor of the courts retaining their power to rule.
The Mueller investigation certainly served its double purpose. Communists in both the Democratic base and in the Chinese government held on to a delusional hope that Trump was weak. That kept them distracted and foolish long enough for them to ensnare themselves. China overreached, providing a great "election enemy", and the Leftist machine overreached, possibly incriminating themselves.
Some states turned Democratic in the recent midterm. But, things look like they're turning around for a gargantuan victory for Republicans nation-wide. Republican states are passing anti-abortion legislation that could lead to the long-waited reversal of Roe v Wade.

We were excited for him to come, not only because it meant we'd have a visitor, but also because he brought Christmas with him. We enjoyed getting all our presents and treats! Thank you to everyone!
Rachel, although excited about having gifts to open, was less than thrilled to meet Uncle David.
To distract her from his presence we decided to head to Coptic Cairo for the day. Sadly, I don't have much to say about it this time. We've been there so many times that nothing seemed too out of the ordinary. Except that we met some East Indian Mormons from Utah. And the Hanging Church was all decked out for Christmas with balloons and streamers. That's pretty much all though. Oh, and we visited the Coptic Museum for the first time ever. It's well worth it, at least we think so. It's laid out much better than the Egyptian museums with air controls and glass cases and everything.
I'm still not writing much, but here are some pictures. We're in Luxor still and everyone wants me to come and play games. What, like, interact with people away from the computer? What?

The Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run is the oldest 100-mile trail run in the U.S. It starts in Squaw Valley, goes through the Sierra Nevada mountain range, and finishes in Auburn, California. Last year I had the pleasure of pacing my friend Gunhild Swanson at the event. At age 70, Swanson became the oldest finisher of event. When Swanson asked me to pace her I was honored, and I knew I would probably want to do a 100-mile trail run myself some day.
After the race, I mulled the details of running a 100 miler in my head for a bit, and I talked to my wife about it. Training for a 100-mile trail run would take up most of my time for at least six months, and I needed her support. She understood why I wanted to do this, so I started looking at possible 100-mile events that were nearby. After I had decided on the Bryce Canyon 100 miler, I put up a post on Facebook. One of the amazing things about Trail Maniacs, the trail-running club that I co-founded, is that most of us are like-minded in our desire to test the limits of our endurance. Bryce definitely fits that category. Bryce offers several distances: a half-marathon, 50k, 50 miler, and 100 miler. We have seven runners doing the 100 miler and three runners doing the 50 miler.
After my race decision was made, I set up a training plan for myself and a few others. I studied the course map and elevation profile, and we discussed travel plans. I set up a 24-week training plan, with the first 12 weeks being basic miles, including back-to-back long runs, which increased weekly mileage by 10 percent. With my therapy background, I made sure to incorporate corrective and strength-training exercises. I researched the gear I would need for myself and my pacers: headlamps, hydration packs, shoes (lots of shoes), and nutrition.
For weeks everything was coming together nicely, but then I screwed up and decided to push myself during week 11. This was a huge mistake, and I found myself training through injury for my first 100-mile race. This was my worst nightmare! My injury started with my calf, and I went to physical therapy for some relief. For about a week I was on the mend, when suddenly my hip decided that it needed attention. So here I am, several weeks before my first 100-mile race, and running hurts. Everyone has been telling me to be patient with this, but I'm kind of freaking out. Not only am I missing valuable training time, but I also absolutely love to run, and I find that I am missing the solitude of my long training runs. I am trying to follow the advice of my physical therapist, staying positive, and doing my corrective exercises as if my life depends on it. I'm not sure what my situation will be on race day, but I plan on showing up at that start line on June 17 and showing them what a Trail Maniac is made of. // (Dave Dutro)

Three Seinfeld Porsches Confirmed at Auction
The cars in question are a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR and a 1958 Porsche 365 A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster.
The world famous comedian and avid car collector Jerry Seinfeld could net more than $10 million when three vintage models from his collection go under the hammer at the Amelia Island Auction in Florida in March. No, the car he drove President Obama around in (Obama took the wheel too) is not for sale – anyway that was a 1963 Corvette Stingray.
The cars in question for this news item are a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR and a 1958 Porsche 365 A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster. Each of which is as immaculate as it is rare and highly sought. So much so that any of the cars in question would automatically become the pinnacle of anyone else's classic car collection.
"We are grateful and honored to be entrusted with these superb examples from the collection of Jerry Seinfeld, these cars epitomize the highest of quality and pedigree," said David Gooding, President of Gooding & Company. "Jerry's keen eye for significant Porsches, the care and pride he takes in maintaining his spectacular collection and his enthusiasm and passion for the Porsche marque, makes this one of our most thrilling sales in our company's history."
In particular, the 550 Spyder, despite its racing pedigree, is still completely original – engine, body and transaxle all match. And as well as the Seinfeld link, there is also the James Dean connection. The movie star was killed while driving a 550, helping to cement the car's place in Hollywood as well as automotive history. Little wonder that the estimate slapped on the car is $5-$6 million.
However, Seinfeld insists that parting with the cars has nothing to do with their current value. "I've never bought a car as an investment," he said. "I don't really even think of myself as a collector. I just love cars. And I still love these cars. But it's time to send some of them back into the world, for someone else to enjoy, as I have."
As well as these three classics, the March 11 auction, one of the highlights of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, is expected to feature a number of other cars – predominantly of the Porsche variety – belonging to the stand-up comedian although details are currently scarce.
Some have suggested that as much as 10% of Seinfeld's collection is being sold on to make room for new additions – after all the biggest challenge to maintaining a car collection is finding somewhere to keep it as it starts growing.
Still, one thing is certain: Seinfeld's 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS will not be one of those cars going under the hammer. "I bought it from a dead guy, and it's not getting sold again until I'm dead. This car doesn't change hands without someone dying," he famously said.

HMI Philosophy | Development of High-Performance HMI
Welcome back to our series of High-Performance HMI. In the previous installments, we covered the current state of HMI's and justification of change to High-Performance HMI as well as the Fundamentals of High-Performance HMI and High-Performance HMI standards. In this installment of the series, we are going to talk about the basic High-Performance HMI working principles and the Development of High-Performance HMI Philosophy.
If you need HMIs for your projects, you can easily order them online from the RealPars marketplace.
Main principles of HMI philosophy
HMI analog indicators
When developing a High-Performance HMI, one of the main principles is the use of moving analog indicators with a moving pointer instead of only a numerical display.
The analog indicators display the range of the instrument being displayed, and in that range will be an indicator of the normal process limits.
Above and below the indicator will be white bands indicating abnormally high and low process values respectively.
Above and below the white bands are dark gray bands which indicate High High and Low Low process values.
At a quick glance of a second or two, the operator will see the pointer position and will be able to determine the operating status of the process and be able to move on to the next process.
HMI trends
A High-Performance HMI uses another very powerful and useful tool which is the trend. Making trends available in all HMI applications is important, but in High-Performance HMI, making access to trend data should be a top priority in your design.
Remember, a High-Performance HMI is designed for the operator, and all available information should be easy to access for every operator.
When developing trends for display, they should be implemented with certain characteristics and capabilities. For instance, when a trend graphic is called by an operator, the Y-axis of the trend should be automatically ranged to a predetermined scale which is often not the full scale of the value.
Having a tight scale will make any meaningful change immediately detected by the operator. The trend screen should give the operator the capability to alter the timebase and ranges without the requirement of keystrokes, making use of dragging the cursor to re-range.
HMI colors
The proper use of color in a High-Performance HMI is fundamental to its design. In many industrial HMIs, color was improperly used or overused. In a High-Performance HMI, color is strategically used and applied consistently across the entire project.
Starting with the background color, a High-Performance HMI utilizes a light gray. The use of light gray will address the problems with glare, contrast, color interference, and operator fatigue. Generally speaking, the ideal background color is Gray 3 or Gray 4.
These are the hex and RGB codes for these background colors:
Gray 3 => Hex: #dddddd => RGB: 221, 221, 221
Gray 4 => Hex: #c0c0c0 => RGB: 192, 192, 192
We'll create a new video about the high-performance HMI color codes in the near future and discuss the exact color codes you need to use in designing your HMI.
Foreground colors should be kept to a minimum and used sparingly. For instance, process lines and tanks should be black, with more attention to line thickness.
Color should not be used to indicate process material, such as using white for steam, green for demineralized water, and pale blue for ethylene. Using color to depict processes usually cannot be consistently applied in practice and proves to be a distraction.
Remember, color is used in High-Performance HMI to indicate an abnormal situation, and is meant to draw the operator's attention quickly. If the process is running normally, then the screen should display little or no color at all.
HMI process lines
When creating lines, vessels, and static equipment it is important to show them correctly. For instance, process lines should be dark gray or black, with line thickness or weight used to differentiate their significance. The main process lines should be 3 pixels in width and secondary lines should be 1 pixel in width.
The use of arrows to depict process flow direction should be kept to a minimum, and primarily used where lines intersect or tee off from each other.
When you are using different line styles such as solid, dotted, and dashed, they should be limited to a maximum of three styles with the same line thickness.
HMI process vessels
Process vessels should be two-dimensional and not three. The vessel exterior should be outlined in a thin black or dark gray line and the vessel interior should be shaded without gradients and should be uniform in color.
You can depict an overall vessel shape, but not get into too much detail. The vessel size should be relative and in proportion to the other vessels around it.
Any internal components of a vessel should not be animated and there should not be any cut-away drawings showing vessel internals.
HMI process flow and navigation
The process flow is very important when it is depicted on High-Performance HMI. The process flow should be consistent in layout across all screens of a High-Performance HMI.
General considerations for process flow are that it should flow from left to right, vapors should flow up and liquids should flow down.
In some instances, pumps and compressors can affect the depiction of vapor and liquid flow.
Process lines should enter and exit the screen consistently as well. Entry and exit points are also navigation targets and should be shown as a different object than a non-navigation link label.
Static texts and live data
Static text on displays should be minimized, but not eliminated. Some general rules for displayed static text are that the text should be dark gray and a simple font that is easily displayed on an LCD screen.
When you are using abbreviations, the abbreviations must be consistent across the entire project.
Use larger text to identify duplicated equipment like multiple pumps
And when you have isolated words, titles, and equipment designations the text should all be uppercase.
Live data should be depicted differently than static text. The use of a bold dark blue for live data is a good choice against the gray background and the dark gray static text.
If live data is shown in a table, align the numbers on the decimal point and do not display leading zeros.
When required, the units of measurement are displayed in lower contrast and adjacent to the live data value.
While there are more details in developing a High-Performance HMI, the information we presented here should give you a very good idea of how a High-Performance HMI should look and how it gives information to the operators.
By following these guidelines, you will be more efficient and productive in your design, and give the operators the best information available to them.
Ok… let's review what we have learned in this article:
– Use analog indicators with a moving pointer instead of a numerical display
– Access to trend data should be a top priority in your design
– Grayscale is preferred over multiple colors
– Screens should display correct process flow, left to right
– Text should be consistent across the entire HMI project
– Line weight or thickness is more important than color
