Do Not Forget Your X'mas Pressie

I was instructed by the hospital after the last visit; to go for another bloody examination. This is something to do with my digestive system. Well last hospital stay was very intersting but the boffins at the hospital could not find what wa wrong with me, except that I had a very bad infection of some sort. So this visit is to check some investigate more.

I had to swallow a camera in a capsule and the boffins watch the video. I was given a general as I can't stay without moving because of my back problems. So I missed the pop corn and cola session the docs and nurses had. 

The same evening I had Dan and Kim visit ...boy o boy didn't we have a lovely time... Got properly blasted.

So next morning I was still in space...sat on me sofa with a coffee. Leaned back and heard this growling sound coming from my tummy area. I moved forword and the growling sound...bit different came back. So I diligently moved back and forth mmmm same again. Thought of phoning 101 but I phoned my GP for a phone back. I had a call back.....I was told that after a dump that camera has been gone out. 

 Then I moved and noticed that a christmas pressie  a fake fart thingey in a small bag which was pressing on my back. Sorted.

Bit of advice I reckon

This happened in the same train trips as in this.

Me and my friend Duche were walking in Exeter as there were lots of people milling around.We went to investigate and walked down this road where people were going towards. Then Duche says "Pulle! pulle". I knew that means, the slang term for the police. So there this policeman was walking towards us on the other side of the road. Without says anything he motioned me to cross the road. He went straight to the guy and said in his best French acsent " Where is the skul road?". The man said there is no school road but there is a school lane. Viola says Duche and we proceeded.

The moral of the story is: if you are carrying illegal substances, which we did, best to go to the police-person rather than wait for them to come to you. Well atleast it worked at that time init?

Three men in a pub

Back in the eighties we used to travel trains in an area. Me and Duche from bristol and a few lads from Notts. We used buy a season ticket to travel all over an area like West country. Bristol, Penzance and Exeter. Cost about 20 quid. Duche is a friendly French national who scappered from france when he turned 16, so that not to do national service. Dom is a dour English football hooligan from Nottingham. Me a 'Paki'.
Three of us went to a pub in Truro and went to the bar to order drinks. We were a weird looking bunch. Dom dressed in dirty tee shirt and a tattered jeans, Duche in a long black coat with a black top hat, and me in a tattered army jacket with a sleaves torn off leather jacket, which looked like a waist coat.
The land lord took a step back words and said. "Whoa lads sorry I cannot serve you."
I said, "Can we have some water please, you have to serve us, as it is the law." I remember on the TV some one say that it is law; that if you ask for water from any house or establishment in the UK, you have to be given water..
There was a bar fly who turned to the landlord and said, "He is right. You have to serve water to the three gentlemen"
Yes he served us water and told us to drink it outside.  We dumped the water and ran away with the bloody glasses.

Unism

Three steps to attain enlightenment without religions.

Do you think that your parents knew you before you are born. I don't think you do. So you are the entity (you may call it god if you like) who created your self. You are the father, son and the spirit; or you are the mother, daughter and the spirit. You are the trnity. As Jesus claimed. To yourself you are one, but to a second person you are the god who created you, then yourself and after your death, that person remember you as a memory. So you have to take responsibility for your own birth as you selecte your mother's cell and your father's cell and made them to be one cell, which divided into multiple cells to become yourself. then to your own life and last your own death. Even someone else kills you, you are the person who created the situation for your own death. Responsibility is the word.

No matter what religion you follow you learnt it from a Holy Book. When you read the book or priest teaches you about the religion, you understand it in your own logic. So it is not what the proper original religion which you understand. It is your own version of the religion. So the religous path you take is your own inference of the original.

 I can as I sit and write this say, "Everything I have done in the past is the right thing at the right time to be right here". So if I done something wrong I will not be here. So where is my sin? But thinking this way do not offer you the way to hurt other living beings and say "Where is my sin". No no no. Do not manupilate or plan to harm others.

Aircraft emissions into the atmosphere

I am too old to think about the predicted climate change in the future. And I do not have any children to worry about thier future either. I just found out that IPCC (International Panel for Climate Change) published their report about CC. So do you think I care about this report and the future in store for us. Nah.... But any way here are some

At the moment the pollution by aircrafts are 2% of the total. An IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty.


 The emissions from aircraft can happen during various stages of the flight. some will be emitted at high altitudes and they can be more potant in climate change. There are no international borders in this issue and everone on earth should be aware of this.

If you take a flight from UK to South Africa, the CO2 emmission for each passenger is equivalent to the CO2 emmission from a house for a year in UK. If you fly 1 person from Bristol (UK) to Malaga (Spain), the amount of CO2 is 0.27 Tonnes, that is equivalent to driving 900 miles.

A way to lesson the emmissions is to take a single flight instead of multi. More emmissions are made during take off and landing.

Each year one billion plane journeys are made. Any moment in time there are million people suspended in the air in planes.  Unbelievable init?

The climate change has made the air turbulance  has increased by 15% since 1997. That is called the  perpendicular wind sheer. In the futuire either pilots will have to take a deviation from the direct route or the passengers will have to suffer the beautiful bobbing up and down in the seat. Hope you have a strong tummy mummy. Or pray the airlines will do something really good or stupid. And last stats I can give you is; next year we are going to do 5 trillion miles (8 trillion km) of air travel. OK you happy people, come fly with me to get the best views up there for the time being.

IMPACTS OF AIR TRAVEL ON THE ATMOSPHERE

In 1999 the world’s top climate scientists, the Intergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange(IPCC), published a detailed study of the impact of aircraft pollution on our atmosphere - Aviation and the Global Atmosphere The report’s findings support the following:

Why Is It Only USA Can Interfere With Other Country's Affairs

Today's news I heard the USA accusing Iran interfering with Syria, Yemen and Hezbolla.

But according to recent article in Jerusalam Post:

The US said it would leave Syria in December 2018, reversing what had seemed like policy commitment to Syria. US President Donald Trump felt it was time to wrap things up, but he was convinced to keep a small force in Syria. Nevertheless, the major investment by the US State Department and other parts of the government was reduced. The US plans for “stabilization” seemed on hold. Now in the summer of 2019 things may be changing again.

 Please check my earlier post here

And there is a Wikipedia page here 

Some interesting comment:

......In mid-January 2018, the Trump administration indicated its intention to maintain an open-ended military presence in Syria to counter Iran's influence and oust Syrian president Bashar al-AssadIn early September 2018, the U.S. began implementing a new strategy that sought to indefinitely extend the military effort, launching a major diplomatic push to achieve American objectives in Syria. However, on 19 December, President Trump unilaterally ordered the withdrawal of the 2,000–2,500 American ground troops in Syria, which was initially set take place in a 90-day period and to be completed in 2019. The announcement shifted the scope of American interests in the conflict from what was an increasingly open-ended presence to a sudden draw-down. The fear of a power vacuum from a premature U.S. pullout from Syria drew consternation from both American officials and allies, particularly in regards to the potential of imperiling the Kurds in the face of Turkish opportunism, potentially giving Russia and Iran geopolitical wins, and the unintended consequence of allowing breathing room for extremist and terrorist groups operating in Syria to regroup and reorganize.....

I will continue later with other comments.

Universe and its expansion

Oldest Star in the Milky Way      

Astronomers have found one of the oldest stars in the Milky Way and possibly one of the oldest in the universe, a body made up almost entirely of elements generated in the Big Bang birth of the cosmos.

The tiny, 13.5-billion-year-old star is part of the Milky Way’s “thin disk,” the realm where the sun resides. Given the age of the newly discovered star, the solar system’s neighbourhood may be up to three billion years older than previously thought.

This is the problem I have. Read a bit of this which says it is only about 1,950 ly (600 pc) fron Earth. How come this star is in the Milky Way. Why is it still around, if we think there was a Big Bang around 14 billion years ago?  It should have gone beyond it's 'eat by date' has gone?  And why don't it have a red-shift, indicating it is flying away from us?

Gravity

What is gravity has f****** lots of human's brain out. So simple explanation huh? Wikipedia says this:

Gravity (from Latin gravitas, meaning 'weight'^[1]), or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light^[2]—are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the ocean tides. The gravitational attraction of the original gaseous matter present in the Universe caused it to begin coalescing, forming stars – and for the stars to group together into galaxies – so gravity is responsible for many of the large-scale structures in the Universe. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become increasingly weaker on farther objects.

Not so smple is it?
And then I came across the Einstein's General Relativity theory. In that :

The prediction of the deflection of light was first confirmed by Arthur Stanley Eddington from his observations during the Solar eclipse of 29 May 1919.^[23][24] Eddington measured starlight deflections twice those predicted by Newtonian corpuscular theory, in accordance with the predictions of general relativity. However, his interpretation of the results was later disputed.^[25] More recent tests using radio interferometric measurements of quasars passing behind the Sun have more accurately and consistently confirmed the deflection of light to the degree predicted by general relativity.^[26] See also gravitational lens.

So if we know the dimention of the Sun, the distance to the quasar, and the speed of light, can't we get a solution for gravity in terms of seconds and meters? And we know that the gravity of the Sun is 28 times that of Earth. I am not a maths boffin so I am afraid I cannot do any investigation into this.  In the bucket list li (loving it)
