Моя піднесена мета () — науково-фантастичне оповідання Роберта Гайнлайна, опубліковане 1942 року журналом Future Fiction.

Пізніше включене до збірки «Поза основною лінією» (2005).

Сюжет
Репортера надсилають описати дивні події на розі 7-ї авеню та Спрінг стріт. Там він спостерігає безлад на проїжджій частині через різкий запах скунса, який починав йти від водіїв, які тільки но порушили правила дорожнього руху. Йому вдається схопити людину-невидимку, яка таким дивним чином карала порушників.

Репортеру подобається даний спосіб, і він відсилає в редакцію статтю, не розкриваючи особи винуватця, а сам приєднується до його команди. Невидимка-науковець винайшов прилад, що змушує світлові хвилі огинати його.

Вдвох вони по черзі продовжували «виховну роботу» на дорогах 4 дні, допоки вченого не забрали в поліцію, спіймавши на виготовленні виділень скунса.
Шукаючи спосіб визволити свого напарника і не привернути увагу до себе, репортер попросив свою знайому скористатись приладом-невидимкою і залишитись в камері замість науковця.
Науковець, вийшовши в невидимим на вулицю, одразу ж потрапляє в пригоду, де випадково визволяє від викрадачів внука вливової людини.

Вдячний дідусь допоміг зам'яти «неприємно пахнучі» інциденти. Поліцейських вдовольнило пояснення вченого про його природну непримітність.

And the Internet, of course, has opinions about that.
As if being upset by our world leaders' political stances wasn't enough, the latest global trend appears to be railing against their choice of pizza toppings as well. Back in February, the President of Iceland created an international incident by jokingly suggesting he'd be willing to approve legislation banning pineapple from pies nationwide. Now, the Prime Minister of New Zealand has the world on edge after using social media to show off how he makes his homemade pizza – using canned spaghetti instead of sauce.
On April 4, Bill English, who was sworn in as the new Prime Minister of New Zealand this past December, took to Facebook to show off his culinary chops. "Cooked dinner for the family last night," he wrote, "like if you agree with tinned spaghetti on pizza!" The post included three photos, one of which clearly shows an uncooked crust prepared with canned spaghetti in lieu of sauce, as well as additional toppings which appear to be tomato, ham and pineapple. As freakish as this combination sounds, the "after" picture actually doesn't look half-bad, and surprisingly does resemble a pizza.
Cooked dinner for the family last night - like if you agree with tinned spaghetti on pizza!
Though using the equivalent of Chef Boyardee spaghetti to make pizza might not fit most Americans' sensibilities, plenty of people supported their Prime Minister and hit the like button: over 8,700 as of writing. Meanwhile, the frowny, shocked and sad faces got under 200 clicks combined, suggesting supporters far outnumbered the anti-spaghetti pizza crowd.
So turns out using canned spaghetti as a pizza sauce might not be as crazy as we think. However, the fact that the only reason you know who the Prime Minister of New Zealand is because of how he makes his pizza… that's definitely as crazy as you think.

U.S. Bailout Plan Infringes Upon Basic Property Rights
By Peter D. Schiff, Money Morning • June 16, 2009
four + = eleven
By Peter D. Schiff
"Crony capitalism" is a term often applied to foreign nations where government interference circumvents market forces. The practice is widely associated with tin-pot dictators and second-rate economies. In such a system, support for the ruling regime is the best and only path to economic success. Who you know supersedes what you know, and favoritism trumps the rule of law.
Unfortunately, last week's events demonstrate that the phrase now more aptly describes our own country.
Last Monday (June 8), the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from Chrysler LLC's secured creditors based on the government's argument that the needs of other stakeholders outweighed those of a few creditors. In this case, the Obama administration concluded the interests of the United Auto Workers outweighed the interests of the Indiana teachers and firemen whose pension fund sued to block the restructuring. Given the enormous financial support that the UAW poured into the Obama campaign, such partiality is hardly surprising.
When making their investment in Chrysler just a few months ago, the Indiana pension fund agreed to commit capital because of the specific assurances received from the company. In allowing this sham bankruptcy to be crammed through the courts, we have shredded the vital principal of the rule of law, and have become a nation of men, rather than one of laws.
The risk that legal contracts can now be arbitrarily set aside will make investors think twice before committing capital to distressed corporations. Oftentimes, enforcing contracts imposes hardships. That's precisely why we have contracts.
Without absolute faith that deals will be honored, it will be extremely difficult for U.S. companies to borrow money. This will be particularly true for those companies already struggling with too much debt. Without the ability to issue secured debt, how will such companies access the necessary capital to turn around? If secured creditors cannot count on the courts to enforce their claims, they will not put their capital at risk. What good is being a secured creditor if courts can allow the assets securing your claim to be sold for the benefit of others?
Another problem with the government imposing losses on secured Chrysler creditors is that in its bailouts of financial companies [such as Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) and American International Group Inc. (NYSE: AIG)], the government took steps to specifically pay back creditors, even when those creditors should have been wiped out.
This inconsistency and lack of equal protection further undermines faith in our economy.
The message here is clear: Loan money to financial entities with friends in Washington and no matter how risky the loan, taxpayers will bail you out if it goes bad. However, loan money to a unionized manufacturer, even if prudently secured by real assets, and you are as likely to get your money back as police have of finding Jimmy Hoffa's body.
As if this wasn't bad enough, testimony on Thursday from former Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) Chief Executive Officer Kenneth D. Lewis revealed a concerted effort on the part of U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Henry M. "Hank" Paulson Jr. to pressure Lewis into hiding relevant financial information regarding Merrill Lynch (NYSE: SKP) losses from BofA shareholders. Recently released e-mails make it clear that the government threatened to remove corporate leaders if they failed to go through with the merger and keep quiet about the losses.
Again, the justification for the interference seemed to be the "greater economic good" the merger would serve. The right of BofA shareholders to be informed that their company was about to buy a financial black hole was clearly considered to be an acceptable sacrifice.
More importantly, the fact that two of the highest-ranking government officials can conspire to violate both securities laws and private property rights is abhorrent to everything America supposedly stands for. If they get away with it, which I believe they will, the precedent and the message will be chilling.
As a broker who specializes in foreign investments, I am always wary of political risk. I must consider how the threat of arbitrary government action could undermine the value of my investments. However, recent events show that political risk is now greater here than abroad, and U.S. assets, which have historically traded at premium valuations based on faith in our legal system, will soon trade at discounts to reflect this new threat. The fear of having contracts abrogated or property rights violated when doing so serves some contrived greater good will substantially raise our cost of capital and further reduce our competitiveness.

I am glad to see that someone is finally writing about this "unjustified taking" by our government. This goes beyond socialism and is bordering on communism. I don't know how, but someone needs to put a stop to the destruction of rights in this country by our government. I never, ever thought the supreme court would let this stand. Now the third, "independent" branch of our government cannot be entrusted to do what is right according to law and on behalf of the people.
Who will ever buy a bond again if they know the Government can disregard the law and take what they want?
Busy Man Fitness | June 16, 2009
"Recently released e-mails make it clear that the government threatened to remove corporate leaders if they failed to go through with the merger and keep quiet about the losses."
Nuff said, get rid of Lewis, Bernanke, and Paulson NOW. They have lied, broken the law on several counts, and can NO LONGER be trusted.
Perhaps America will take action during the next American Idle (misspelling intentional) commercial break.
camelot knight | June 17, 2009
What can we expect from a Govt. that has been lying to the AMERICAN people from time immemorial? And a CONGRESS that consists of a DEN of thieves and liars who will do anything to protect their funders who are actually their REAL MASTERS and NOT the american public whom they are supposed to serve in the first place. Actually
why waste time on this blame game when we know its the american people who elected these scums to be their LEADERS!

Excellent op-ed. My brother Gary and I recently became new clients of Euro-Pacific.
In future articles I urge you to remind people that the name for the kind of government "tin-pot dictators" impose is Fascism, and that is the slippery slope that government in the US is now on. Fascism is private ownership of property in name only, but where that basic individual right is made impotent by a tight web of controls so fine that people cannot exercise it in practice. For example, you own a property but you cannot build on it because the local zoning board refuses to give you a permit, because to do so does not fit their political agenda.
The US gets more Fascist every day. Today, at every level of government, officials interfere with our individual rights. There are federal regulations and arbitrary directives issued by the executive branch as you pointed out, but Congress and the courts are no less guilty. Likewise for state governments who follow the feds or worse, such as the CA Air Resources Board, which is now talking about banning black cars in California! Even at the local level, zoning boards in small towns routinely violate property rights and get away with it. And the Republicans are as guilty as the Democrats in this regard.
To gain perspective, people need to see comparisons between the behavior of our government and those of Putin's Russia and Hugo Chavez. The differences are getting smaller, and it is a disgrace.
Why don't you start publishing a quarterly "freedom and status of individual rights" meter that compares the US to a range of 4-5 dictatorships from Russia to N. Korea. I think people would be surprised at the results, surprised at how their freedom is being whittled away.
While you are at it, clarify the difference between the socialist idea of "human rights" vs. the concept of Individual Rights the US is based on. Here is a video that explains what I mean: http://arc-tv.com/republican-party-of-virginia-2009-state-convention%E2%80%94opening-breakfast-address/

Movie Review: The Avengers
Joss Whedon's comic book marvel flashed before our eyes in 2012 and few were disappointed. It was the first superhero bonanza to show up in theaters. It became the third-highest-grossing film of all-time. It became a legend.
The Avengers had the advantage of being the first of its kind. Never was such a big project undertaken, a money-hungry dog let loose by the leash of Marvel. This money-hungry dog was given a $220 million dollar bone and enjoyed the chainless existence of a freelancer, able to investigate what it wanted, say what it wanted and to create what it wanted.
I truly believe Whedon was given the golden goose. He directed it, he co-wrote the story and created the screenplay. The only metaphor applicable to the type of luxury and novelty that Whedon enjoyed during this production is a child on Christmas. A cast list that few can compete with, one of the largest "bones" to ever be handed out to a director and a partnership of Marvel and Disney? Joss Whedon was given the life that people can only dream of and perhaps in this case, a dream very few can dream of.
I give Whedon props for delivering a Hulk-sized trophy film, a film that made huge ripples in the world of cinema and reignited the comic book world. The Avengers served as a memento for the world and it still does today.
Robert Downey, Jr. proved to be the best of the bunch as Tony Stark. His utter disregard for others, Olympus-sized ego and flippant comedy sketches are some of the biggest highlights of the film, as well as how Stark evolves as a character. Comic book fanatics can argue who the best of the Avengers is all they want, but Downey, Jr. is evidently the most-talented, although Chris Evans isn't too far behind.
I'm still amazed that Chris Evans is the same dweeb that acted in 2005's Fantastic Four. He had no bravado, no genuine energy and no talent but somewhere deep, perhaps in the bowels of Mordor, Evans discovered his natural ability to draw the camera to that charming face of his. While Captain America: The First Avenger was nowhere close to where it should have been in terms of production and quality, Evans held the film together and then opened his jaws for The Winter Soldier and really showed us how far he could go. While The Avengers gets nowhere as complex as The Winter Soldier in its story, its got some seriousness to it but not so serious that the lighthearted fall out of touch with it. A lot of that seriousness is provided by Evans. Keep it up, Cap. Looking forward to Civil War.
I've got to give a small hand of applause to Mark Ruffalo for giving us a Hulk film that doesn't make us want to barf all over. The Incredible Hulk has proved incredible in the past couple years, incredible at turning A-listers into actors comparable to Hayden Christensen. Edward Norton is a great actor. He did not look like a great actor in The Incredible Hulk and to my knowledge, Marvel is staying away from Hulk films for the time being. It's a shame because there's a great actor there now in Mark Ruffalo that finally calmed the beast down and got him to stop looking stupid and saying stupid stuff. Mostly known for rom-coms, Ruffalo showed another realm in The Avengers and also in Foxcatcher, which I read good reports on. That was my one main concern regarding The Avengers, was that the Hulk was going to destroy everything. Actually, I guess he does kinda destroy everything but I mean the film, not all the baddies that had it coming. Hulk Smash!
Finally, Chris Hemsworth. I know we're all in love with those beautiful locks of his and are bedazzled by that bod, but to this point, the guy has demonstrated little acting ability and continues to pour me vinegar when I asked for a martini. The Thor movies are the worst of the newest Marvel films by far, especially Thor: The Dark World, my crowned champion of 2013 Worst Film of the Year. The stories are toothless and present no suspense, supporting cast, or logical story line. There might have been more plot holes in Thor: The Dark World than there are craters on the moon. All this said, the guy's not terrible, he's just not good. He's satisfactory, average. He fills the role and I completely understand that it's too late to recast, but I wish Marvel would have looked elsewhere when they decided to pick the Norse god. Brad Pitt or Ben Foster both would have worked for me. Do you guys agree with me? Who do you think would have made a great Thor? Let me know in the comments.
It's also important to mention our lead villain, Loki. Tom Hiddleston's performance was a few pegs higher than in Thor and provided that acidic twist a film like this needed. One of the main complaints about Guardians of the Galaxy was its underwhelming villain, a problem that The Avengers never had. Samuel L. Jackson makes everything so much better as does the beautiful Scarlett Johansson.
Jeremy Renner is probably the only outlier in this cast, but only because the development of the character is not there, mainly because of a plot point. It's a minor thing but it's still a thing. When a movie's this great, you have to get picky.
My only other comment is the drag in the opening scenes. It takes a while for things to get going because we have to introduce each hero, have their little hurrah moment, and move on to the next one. It's like going on a long vacation but before you get on the road, you have to stop at five different locations and pick all these people up. It's a bit of a hassle. A necessary one but still a hassle.
Aside from those two things, The Avengers is all the hype. The action is state-of-the-art special effects with stunning visuals and an adrenaline booster. The characters are brought out with dashes of humor and the story is there. It's the superhero tribute we waited for.
90-100 It's a great movie and definitely one worth buying. (The Babadook, Interstellar, Chappie, American Beauty, Gone Girl)
70-79 It's okay but I've seen better. It has its moments, but it has its flaws, too. (Equilibrium, Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead, Snowpiercer, The Family, When the Game Stands Tall)
60-69 It's got plenty wrong with it but I still got enjoyment out of this one. (Black Sheep, Twisted, Parker, House at the End of the Street, The Raven)
50-59 This movie isn't intolerable but it's not blowing my mind either. I'm trying really hard to get some sort of enjoyment out of this. (Blitz, The Punisher, Drive Hard, Run All Night, Rage)
40-49 This movie is just mediocre. It's not doing anything other than the bare minimal, so morbidly boring that sometimes I'm actually angry I watched this. (Crank, Erased, I, Frankenstein, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
0-19 Watching this movie resulted in one or more of the following: seizure, loss of brain cells, falling asleep/unconsciousness, feel you wasted your time/day, accomplished nothing for you, left the movie knowing less about it then you did going into it, constantly asking yourself why you came to see this movie, or near-death experience. In short, staring at a wall was just as entertaining as watching this movie. This movie deserved a sticker or a label that said, "WARNING: EXTREME AMOUNT OF SUCKAGE." (Outcast, Sabotage, Gallowwalkers, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, Safe)
My score for The Avengers: 96
Three years removed from where it all began and not even a week after its sequel released, The Avengers remains in cinema trophy cases and on millions of bookshelves for its "first shot heard 'round the world" epic. With impressive visual effects, concrete scripting and big-name cast, The Avengers has lost no spark nor has it faded into the recesses of our minds. The Avengers is very much alive.

Heading to CFL
Foster signed a contract with the CFL's Toronto Argonauts on Tuesday, according to the team's official site.
Analysis: Foster started the 2020 season on the Cardinals' practice squad but ended up being active for much of November and December due to injuries in Arizona's running back room. He'll now look to establish himself as a premier back in the CFL.
Published: Tue, Jul 20 at 5:02pm by Rotowire.com
More news and analysis available atNFL.com
Bumps to active roster
The Cardinals signed Foster from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Foster looks set to make his sixth straight appearance during Sunday's game against the Eagles. With Chase Edmonds (ankle) listed as questionable, Foster could get an opportunity for expanded reserve duties.
Published: Sat, Dec 19 at 1:59pm by Rotowire.com
Slides back to practice squad
Foster reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: The 27-year-old appeared in a fifth consecutive game for Arizona during Week 13, though he's garnered only two combined offensive touches in 2020. Foster has seen all of his work on special teams over the past four games, fielding 55 total snaps in that department to zero on the offensive end.
Published: Mon, Dec 7 at 5:55pm by Rotowire.com
Jumps from practice squad
The Cardinals elevated Foster to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Foster is slated to play a fifth straight game with the Cardinals. He hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 9. Instead, he's contributed on special-teams coverage, posting three tackles so far.
Published: Sat, Dec 5 at 3:13pm by Rotowire.com
Moves back to practice squad
Analysis: Foster fielded 13 special-teams snaps during Sunday's 20-17 loss to New England, but he again went without involvement on the offensive side. The 27-year-old has been deployed on offense only once in a game all season, generating nine scrimmage yards on two touches Week 9 against Miami. Given that he's been called up to the active roster for four consecutive games, he could very well be back in the mix Week 13 for a matchup against the Rams.
Published: Mon, Nov 30 at 3:54pm by Rotowire.com
Jumps to active roster
Analysis: It's an interesting move, as the Cardinals already have four healthy running backs on the roster. The 27-year-old is rarely involved on offense, though, so he'll likely stick to special-teams coverage. Foster has recorded two tackles through five games.
Published: Sat, Nov 28 at 6:14pm by Rotowire.com
Sent back to practice squad
Foster reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad after recording one tackle during a 28-21 loss to Seattle on Thursday Night Football, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Foster fielded 17 special-teams snaps during the NFC West clash, but he again went without involvement on the offensive side. Among Foster's five appearances in 2020, he's been utilized on offense only once, fielding five snaps while recording two yards on one carry and one reception for seven yards against Miami in Week 9. He goes back to the practice squad for now, but Foster has been activated for three consecutive contests.
Published: Fri, Nov 20 at 3:15pm by Rotowire.com
Ascends to 53-man roster
The Cardinals elevated Foster to it's 53-man roster via the practice squad for Thursday's game against Seattle, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Foster was called up to the 53-man roster for the fifth time this season, as he's logged one carry rushing while putting in the rest of his work on special teams. With Kenyan Drake (ankle) expected to suit up Thursday, Foster will likely stick to a special-teams role for Week 11.
Published: Thu, Nov 19 at 3:07pm by Rotowire.com
Heads back to practice squad
Foster reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, Alex Weiner of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Foster joined cornerback Jace Whittaker in a trip back to the practice squad, after the two were activated for Sunday's thrilling 32-30 win over the Bills. The Arizona State product fielded seven special-teams snaps during the contest, collecting one tackle on punt coverage, but he went unutilized on the offensive side in what was his fourth appearance of 2020.
Brought up to active roster
The Cardinals elevated Foster to the active roster Saturday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.
Analysis: This move hints that Kenyan Drake (ankle) may be on the wrong side of questionable, although coach Kliff Kingsbury maintains that Drake's status will be determined following pregame warmups. Foster likely will stick to special teams regardless of Drake's status.
Back down to practice squad
Foster reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday after registering one carry for two yards and one reception for seven yards during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Dolphins, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: The 26-year-old back offered his first offensive contributions of 2020 during Arizona's Week 9 defeat, as Foster had not garnered a single snap on the offensive side over his two other appearances of the season Weeks 1 and 2. It's notable that Foster got the nod over Eno Benjamin for backup RB work against Miami, as Benjamin was a seventh-round selection of the Cardinals in this past April's draft.
Published: Mon, Nov 9 at 5:40pm by Rotowire.com
Shifts to active roster
The Cardinals elevated Foster to the active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Kenyan Drake (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, so Foster will add experienced depth behind expected workhorse Chase Edmonds, although rookies Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward could have roles as well. Foster, who turns 27 years old this month, has played in 18 NFL games, recording 13 carries for 43 yards and 18 receptions for 135 yards.
Published: Sat, Nov 7 at 4:30pm by Rotowire.com
Could handle backup role
Coach Kliff Kingsbury suggested Foster could serve as the Cardinals' No. 2 running back Sunday against the Dolphins, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: With Kenyan Drake (ankle) ruled out, Chase Edmonds figures to get the start and handle a large workload. The Cardinals have rookies Eno Benjamin and Jonathan Ward on their active roster, but it sounds like Kingsbury wants the more experienced Foster to be called up from the practice squad for Sunday. The 26-year-old running back has seen most of his NFL playing time on passing downs and special teams, taking 13 carries for 43 yards and 18 catches for 135 yards in 18 regular-season games.
Published: Fri, Nov 6 at 2:36pm by Rotowire.com
Back to full health
The Cardinals activated Foster (quadriceps) from the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Foster has been hurt for nearly a month, but he'll return to practice and continue working on the scout team. The Cardinals' active roster is set in the backfield, so Foster's chances of receiving a promotion are slim, barring an injury.
Published: Tue, Oct 20 at 2:02pm by Rotowire.com
Placed on practice squad IR
Foster was placed on the Cardinals' practice squad injured reserve list Monday due to a quadriceps injury.
Analysis: Foster played two special-teams snaps in the Cardinals' Week 2 win over Washington before exiting with the injury. He reverted back to the practice squad after the game and will now look to move past the injury before receiving a potential promotion back on the 53-man roster.
Published: Mon, Sep 21 at 6:26pm by Rotowire.com
Activated to 53-man roster
The Cardinals elevated Foster to the active roster Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction report.
Analysis: With KeeSean Johnson on the COVID-19 list, Foster filled the open spot on the 53-man roster. He played strictly in a special-teams role during Week 1's win over the 49ers, and he could handle similar duties in this Sunday's game against Washington.
Published: Tue, Sep 15 at 5:08pm by Rotowire.com
Back to practice roster
Foster has reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad.
Analysis: Foster was brought up to the active roster for the season opener versus the 49ers, but he stuck to special teams against the divisional foe. The 26-year-old will drop back to the practice squad and fine-tune his craft.
Published: Tue, Sep 15 at 11:41am by Rotowire.com
Promoted to active roster
Foster was added to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Foster initially lost out on a roster spot to seventh-round pick Eno Benjamin. However, he landed on the practice squad and now has a chance to serve as depth among the Cardinals' backfield. In 2019, Foster was a special teams player for the team.
Published: Sat, Sep 12 at 2:37pm by Rotowire.com
Garners practice squad spot
The Cardinals signed Foster to the practice squad Sunday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Foster played strictly on special teams over six games with the Cardinals in 2019, and he couldn't beat out rookie seventh-rounder for the No. 3 RB role behind Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds. If an injury surfaces, expect either Foster or Jonathan Ward to get promoted to the active roster.
Published: Wed, Sep 9 at 7:45pm by Rotowire.com
Unable to make 53-man roster
The Cardinals cut Foster on Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Foster played strictly on special teams in 2019, so with the Cardinals drafting Eno Benjamin in April, the 26-year-old Foster was let go. The Cardinals only have three running backs on the roster, and there are already injury concerns about Kenyan Drake (foot), so Foster could be a valuable practice squad add.
Published: Sat, Sep 5 at 7:48pm by Rotowire.com
Back in desert
Foster (hamstring) re-signed Wednesday with the Cardinals on a one-year contract.
Analysis: Foster appeared in six contests with the Cardinals in 2019 prior to sustaining a season-ending hamstring injury. When back to full health, he'll spend the summer competing for a reserve role out of the backfield behind Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds.
