One to all and all to one vs One contrals and the rest will always follow

Many a terms are used to what I am talking about.

I want to see the vision from the basic axioms, to see the actual scene. Do not forget that the logic you use is the one you understand which is always unique to you. But if we see the larger picture of it all, there are some basic axioms, which suffice to convey the basic understanding of it all. That basic logic is unique to each of us and you understand what I am fingering into the keyboard in your logic. Comprende?

When we listen to some one else, who is talking in front of us, we already have a logical understading of the person on the audio/visual side. So do we listen to the other person without bias?

This is a question I will not be able to answer to you OR you will not be able to answer to me. It can be answered to oneself only truthfully. Just fucking think about it and see where you get to in your own logic.

First we need a definition who "one" is. We cannot be basic if we say that one is limited to human. Only way we can make a basic definition is going to animate ( endowed with animal life as distinguished from plant life), plant and inanimate (not endowed with life). See how 'ard it gets when the logic of the common understanding is so complicated we cannot get any where init? What I wanted to say, sweet, is just that there are things with life like me and amoeba. And there are things like fire, water and the dust which does not have any life in them. Hey shit I is going in a yangent like me mate Fagan in many of his explanations about his fish.

You be grade one gold star if you can tell me who this 'one' is?
If you go 'ere you will get General (25 matching dictionaries). Whoea! man but it says in the quick def:

Quick definitions (one)
noun: a single person or thing (Example: "He is the best one")
noun: the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number (Example: "He has the one but will need a two and three to go with it")
adjective: being a single entity made by combining separate components (Example: "Three chemicals combining into one solution")
adjective: used of a single unit or thing; not two or more

In any way you try to suss it out, you get only one meaning like single unit of many. Am I right? or left? Hang on; that is why they call right and left in politics init? If you be not right you are left means you be wrong huh? I am always left because everyone I meet are right about themselves and I need to be different because I need to be me.

Fatwa Against The Dollar

What the hell is a fatwa?

According to the Wikipedia, "A fatwā (Arabic: فتوى; plural fatāwā Arabic: فتاوى), in the Islamic faith is a ruling on Islamic law issued by an Islamic scholar." Then thre are conditions for a fatwa Like these:

"According to the Usul al-fiqh (Principles of Jurisprudence), the fatwa must meet the following conditions in order to be valid:

The fatwa is in line with relevant legal proofs, deduced from Qur'anic verses and hadiths;
It is issued by a person (or a board) having due knowledge and sincerity of heart;
It is free from individual opportunism, and not depending on political servitude;
It is adequate with the needs of the contemporary world."


Ho hum it is a lot of bloody ifs and buts init?

As the US dollar is going down in the money market the countries who peg their own currencies to the US dollar are having problems viz. inflation. For example 5.35pc in Saudi Arabia, 10.1pc in the United Arab Emirates and 12.2pc in Qatar. The same in Asia like China now has 6.9pc inflation.

So the story is Saudi Arabian Mullahs have got it right up their noses and declared this fatwa to the Saudi government.

"“The rulers should seek to try to remedy this crisis in a way that would ease people’s suffering.”

“We direct this message to the rulers and officials: we remind you of Prophet Mohammad’s words that you are shepherds who are responsible for your flock,” it said.

The statement was posted across the Islamic world. The background to this has been a raging debate in Gulf religious and economic circles about the destructive effects of the sliding dollar."


Well see the article here and keep and eye on this I think. It is bubbling in the right way the Osama Bin Laden and his likes said during the start of the war in Afghanistan. he said we will bring the Us down financially.

Pak Red Button (update) (update)

This is getting more interesting than the Christmas for me. I have updated the original stuff about the Pakistan Nuclear arsenal; and who is in charge of it. Now there is a bit more to it than that. I say, I am getting the hang of this now to put back links and all.

Last month when I was fingering about it in me blog, it came out of Washington Post article. But when it was published New York Times has said that they (NYT)knew about the US helping Pak Government AKA Musharaff, for atleast 3 years. Then it comes out that US for the last 6 years has been spending almost $100 million for equipment and training, for the security of Nuclear Arsenal in Pakistan. Well the article is good and comes out with things like how much security US has in its own nuclear arsenal.

"Zero locks

A concern about nuclear weapons security in Pakistan is that Islamists in the military may seize control of the weapons and try to use them. Pakistan claims to have followed the US example and installed coded combination-lock switches, known as Permissive Action Links, on its weapons.

Since the 1960s, most US nuclear weapons are supposed to have been protected against unauthorized use by coded combination-lock switches that could only be activated by someone who knew that proper sequence of characters. These switches were introduced in 1962 by Robert McNamara when he was secretary of defense to ensure control over the use of US nuclear weapons.

According to Bruce Blair, a former missile launch control officer, Strategic Air Command, which was responsible for the nuclear-armed missiles and bombers, installed the switches but set the combinations of all the locks to a string of zeros. The codes for launching US nuclear missiles apparently stayed set at 00000000 until the late 1970s. The reason? Strategic Air Command did not want there to be any problems or delays in launching the nuclear missiles caused by a more complex set of numbers.

McNamara apparently did not know that the locks he had ordered to be installed on nuclear weapons were largely worthless, and that the military with direct control of the weapons were evading official instructions for securing nuclear missiles. He only learned of this from Blair in January 2004. McNamara was outraged. But, as Blair observed, this is but "one of a long litany of items pointing to the ignorance of presidents and defense secretaries and other nuclear security officials about the true state of nuclear affairs". "


Further proof of the US military in Pakistan soil can be found here.

"Musharraf has allowed for a contingent of US Special Forces said to be several hundred strong to begin operating in Pakistan, where they are to take the leading role in efforts to stamp out support within Pakistan for those fighting against the US occupation regime in Afghanistan."

Argumants, Laughter & Crying

I suppose everyone wants to live a little bit longer init? So the boffins are saying:

Don't have arguments. "A half-hour argument with your lover can also slow your body's ability to heal by at least a day. In couples who regularly argue, that healing time is doubled again."

Keep on falling in love atleast once every year. "Researchers at the University of Pavia, in Italy, have found that falling in love raises levels of Nerve Growth Factor for about a year. This hormone-like substance helps to restore the nervous system and improves memory by triggering the growth of new brain cells. It is also associated with the feeling of being "loved-up" and contented, inducing a calming effect on the body and mind. Unfortunately, researchers found levels dropped after about a year -- the point at which feelings of romantic love fall away and reality kicks in."

Don't take any pressure and stay under it for long. "Exposed to chronic stress for years, high blood levels of glucose and fatty acids increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes."

Laugh as much as you can giggle the rest of your life. "A good giggle also burns calories since it's possible to move 400 muscles of the body when laughing. Some researchers estimate that laughing 100 times offers an aerobic workout equivalent to 10 minutes on a rowing machine or 15 minutes on an exercise bike."

If you are irritated about something, get out of there ASAP. "It's hard to know what's best -- venting anger or holding it in, as both have negative effects"

Shed tears if you want to or not. "Emotional tears were found to contain high levels of hormones and neurotransmitters associated with stress. They also led to lower blood pressure, pulse rate and more synchronised brain-wave patterns."

Don't follow your partner covertly and find her/him with another person; jealousy can be lousy. "Someone in the grip of jealousy will suffer raised blood pressure, heart-rate and adrenalin levels, weakened immunity, anxiety and probably insomnia."

Spend the rest of your life cuddling in a sofa (definitely with your partner, I suppose). "According to Dr. Hyla Cass, Professor of psychiatry at UCLA, it is oxytocin, the "bonding hormone", that makes a couple want to touch and cuddle. This, in turn, triggers the release of DHEA, an anti-ageing, anti-stress hormone that triggers cellular restoration in the body."

OOze out warm feelings as if you are a slug with excess slime (hell not very nice is it). "Feeling thankful for what you've got, whether it be a partner, an achievement or simply being alive, is all it takes to boost immunity, lower blood pressure and speed healing throughout the body."

Do not ever go down the dumps. "Depression, pessimism and apathy are all associated with low levels of serotonin and dopamine, which are feel-good neurotransmitters in the brain."

Mood medicine. Read this.

Time, Time & Time

Why do you feel time goes faster when you grow older?

"“This is re­lat­ed to the phe­nom­e­non that time seems to speed up as you grow old­er. When you’re a child, you lay down rich mem­o­ries for all your ex­pe­ri­ences; when you’re old­er, you’ve seen it all be­fore and lay down few­er mem­o­ries,” he re­marked. “There­fore, when a child looks back at the end of a sum­mer, it seems to have lasted forev­er; adults think it zoomed by.”"

Says the boffins.

Fish, Vegetarians & Fagan

My mate Fagan says the reason some people have come out with, for the extinction of fish stock in the Europpean waters is; "There are too many people become vegetarians in the recent years, who think that fish don't have feelings."

What do you have to say.

Pak Red Button (update)

On my blog entry Pak Red Button I said that US has taken command of the nuclear arsenal in akistan during the mayham in the country. Now there is a loud proclamation about it from the Pak army heirachy, saying that no foreign government can take the nuclear arsenal to a safer place.

"The security of Pakistan's estimated 50 nuclear warheads has been under global scrutiny since President Pervez Musharraf imposed a state of emergency on November 3 citing Islamist violence and political turmoil.

But the chairman of Pakistan's joint chiefs of staff, General Tariq Majid, blasted reports by "vested and hostile elements in the international media" about the security of its nuclear weapons, an army statement said.

"Suggestions have been made that our assets could either be neutralised or taken away towards safer place to prevent them from falling into wrong hands," the statement quoted Majid as saying after witnessing the launch of the locally developed Babur (Hatf 7) cruise missile.

"We remain alert to such threats and are fully capable of handling these.""


And then the big man himself, Mr Musharraf, is trying to take over the command of the National Command Authority (NCA), the body which is responsible for operating them.

Generation Y,

The Generation Y is the generation born between 1980 and 1995 or is it 2000. According to this;

"Peter Sheahan in his 2005 book “Thriving and Surviving With Generation Y at Work” described generation Y as the ‘highly influential segment of the population born between 1978 and 1994’."

Other names they are known as in Ireland:

• Generation Y
• Generation WHY
• Generation Next
• Nexers
• Millenniums
• Digital Generation
• Echo Boomers
• Boomlets
• Baby Busters
• I Generation
• Net Generation
• Netizens
• Gaming Generation
(along with younger
Gen Xers)

I like the ending of this paragraph; which I myself cocluded in my mind several months ago. Pity I did not write it. If I did I could have patted my back......

"As long as the military continues to lie to and mislead prospective recruits -- whether in person or via a text message with a pop culture allusion and a friendly emoticon -- today's kids will continue to shun military service. By doing so, they are heeding the government's implicit message: As an Army of one, you're better off joining Blackwater."

Animal Intelligence,

Very interesting to know that the present day thinking about animals and their intelligence, originated by the Western people in the "days of St Thomas Aquinas, the 13th-century Italian monk whose moral philosophy formed the basis of our modern-day ethical treatment of animals."

Wow them stupid boffins have started to acknowledge the truth of nature.

"The latest studies into the unusual behaviour of a range of species suggest that we should no longer assume that animals are just the dumb creatures that we've been led to believe since the days of St Thomas Aquinas, the 13th-century Italian monk whose moral philosophy formed the basis of our modern-day ethical treatment of animals. Indeed, scientists have found that animals are capable of all sorts of clever behaviour that we normally associate with human intelligence. They not only have good memories and a perception of the world around them, they also display feats of apparent far-sightedness and understanding that seem to go beyond the mental abilities of many people."

Staphylococcus aureus

How do you pronounce this term? Staphylococcus aureus.

ˌstæf.ə.ləˈkɒ.kəs ˈoɹ

OOOPs sorry I have not mastered the way of the boffins, how to put these non-recognisable letters in this f.... blog.

staph·y·lo·coc·cus from Encarta

and the same inside info states this fact.

"Definition:

bacterium occurring in clusters: a bacterium that typically occurs in clusters resembling grapes, normally inhabits the skin and mucous membranes, and may cause disease. These bacteria commonly infect the skin, eyes, and urinary tract, and some produce toxins responsible for septicemia and food poisoning. Genus Staphylococcus "


So we in UK has been suffering from this illness for a number of years? No we had others before. First this is "a spherical bacterium, frequently living on the skin or in the nose of a person. Approximately 20%-30% of the general population are "staph carriers"". Why are 70% to 80% excused? Are they immune to it?

US war and Iran

It was gathering speed for the last year or so shouting and threatening Iran about their Nuclear ambitions, by Bush and Cheney. But yesterday Bush gave a speech and said:
"The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that was issued on Monday, reflecting the assessments made by 16 US spy agencies, reversed the conclusion made two years earlier that Iran was seeking to develop nuclear weapons and instead claimed the country had “halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003.”
It also expressed the opinion that Iran would be unable to produce a nuclear weapon, if it were to attempt to do so, before the year 2015."


It is nice to see that happen as the petrol prices are going to go down now as the imminent war with Iran is not there any more. Mmmmm not really as the Dollar is going down against the Euro the prices might go up. It is crazy init? The European central bank is going to raise the interest rates by 0.25% and the US Feds going to lower the interest rates in 11th this month according to Jim Jubak.

But it does not stop there as the US are preparing the Sunni communities in Iraq to keep the Iraqi Shiites who are friendly with Iran from attacking USmilitary in case of war with Iran. The plan has already been drawn for the US military to stay in Iraq for a long time. Have a look at this:

"According to figures cited by McClatchy Newspapers on November 28, the US military in Iraq has recruited 192 Sunni tribal councils and “local citizens groups” to put more than 77,500 Sunni militiamen onto the streets of a number of Iraqi cities and towns, including areas of Baghdad. The fighters, many of whom were previously part of anti-occupation guerilla cells, receive a salary of some $US300 per month. American officials told McClatchy Newspapers last month that they intend to enlist at least 100,000.

Those who have embraced the US occupation form a wealthy stratum of Sunni tribal leaders, former state officials and army officers who were loyal to Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party. They are hostile to Iran, the Shiite parties and the Sunni fundamentalist movements such as Al Qaeda in Iraq that emerged after the US invasion and challenged the Baathists’ authority over the Sunni population. They represent a sizeable layer of the Sunni elite who have concluded that their best prospects for restoring their power and privileges is to collaborate with the very foreign force that overthrew them.

The Sunni militia forces have been assembled completely outside the authority or control of the Iraqi government and the new Iraqi military. Given that the US government pays them, they are quite literally American mercenaries."


Then I found this:

"In the summer of 2005, senior American intelligence officials began traveling the world with a secret slide show drawn from thousands of pages that they said were downloaded from a stolen Iranian laptop computer, trying to prove that Iran was lying when it said it had no interest in building a nuclear weapon."

My thoughts are like this. Remember Pakistan went a bit awry last moonth when the President declared emergency and started locking up the opposition members and the Judiciary. Then the US sent military inside Pakistan and took over the Nuclear facilities so that if a rogue took over as the head of the army the things will not go wrong. Now we know the US helped Pakistan, India and Israel to get the nuclear bombs. So US can take over these facilities in case of trouble. But then again if there is a World War or something then the US have got a arsenal of nuclear bombs not just in US but in many countries. Does not matter these countries side with US or not, they will be used by US for their own way. Now what are the Russians and the Chinese doing now?

When you look at this you can see a better picture of it.

"Is Iran currently developing nuclear weapons? No. Could it do so sometime in the future? Sure. According to ElBaradei, some forty-nine countries “now know how to make nuclear arms,” including Japan, South Korea, and other U.S. allies. Neither the United States nor the UN Security Council can militarily prevent each of those countries from making a Bomb, said ElBaradei. “We are relying primarily on the continued good intentions of these countries, intentions which are in turn based on their sense of security.”41"

On the same note the Jews do not like the report. They say Iran will make the first bomb in 2009. They been trying to push Bush into bombing Iran all this time. Mr Lieberman has come into the scene.

"The very fact that Lieberman was brought into the cabinet by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert last year was calculated to inflame tensions with Tehran. Lieberman, a right-wing nationalist and racist, is notorious for his calls for the ethnic cleansing of Israeli Arabs, the bombing of Palestinian civilians and the targeting of Egypt’s Aswan High Dam. Olmert handed him the specially created post of strategic affairs minister, dealing with threats to Israel, with a particular focus on Iran. In 2001, Lieberman openly advocated the use of nuclear weapons against Iran."

I don't know; if another country had a Deputy Prime Minister, who is a rascist and a blood thirsty proxy-killer, we in UK and US people will be howling to put sanctions on that country or do a regime change.

Snoring

I am a snorer! It is not an easy thing to own upto. Most people will tell you that they don't snore; but they do. According to the statistics 45% of the people are snorers. I remember an incident while I was spending at a Queen's hostel for people who were caught possessing cannabis. You who have not had the pleasure of having fun in one of these places I will explain. Others just hang on.

In most of the 1990s jails there were 4 people in one cell. Two bunk beds and a separate toilet, no shower. The walls are very thick as they don't want us digging ourselves out. There are two rows of cells with a corrider between.

On the very first day I told the rest of the inmates that I snore. So we decided to take turns like I wait untill they all fall sleep and I sleep after. Well 23 hours locked in, there is enough time to get my sleeping time in. Any way I was there for a matter of 4 days. Next morning the doors were open and we were getting ready to go to breakfast and this big black guy with teeth missing walked into the cell grumbling threateningly, "Who was fucking snoring fucking last fucking night?". I smiled and said, " Shit man did you hear it, which cell are you in?". My smile or my dreadlocks must have broken the ice. He is from the opposit cell. My snoring has travelled through two massive walls plus the corridor. Wonder that is a record?

I read this article about snoring. Believe me I am so relieved to know that snoring is curable. The problem I had was; that there are so many cures in the market I gave up and thought let me and my girl frien ( when I have one) suffer as I am not spending my little benefit money I get on these quacks. But now I can go to this website and look for some advice and help.
