This happened in the savannas in South America. I think everyone knows what an aardvark is. If you like I can stop here, untill you find out.
He the aarvark has a habbit of walking in the savanna on hot sunny afternoon, and this was one of those times. Nice breeze was blowing. He watched couple of local birds chirping and fighting over a worm. And knowingly he shook his head.
At this precise time a phylosopher who was staying in a near by hotel had a problem to solve. He realised that the inside of the hotel is as hot as the outside, as long as you stayed in the shade.
He saw the aardvark. What did the aardvark say to the phylosopher?'

Farmers In Uk Circa 1970's
I know I am a boring blogger who comes here in his own fancy times and leave some scroodle. Scroodle down my back yard is the toppest and unadultarated rubbish. If you can scroooodle it out, nice and even not too thick and etc etc; you can survive in me backyard.
So I want you to know something very important, but silly. About the farmers in Briton in the last century. Not very exciting I tell you but, in 1978 the government boffins had this to say," By 1978 britain has been self sufficient in temperate foodstuff. and not since the 1760's, has this happened."
So "Bravo, my dear farmers", I said very loud so everyone in the flat can hear. Good thing there was no one about.
And then a farmer tells me, "When my father came here 100 years ago there were 26 diary farms. But now we are the last one.". What an exploding industry?

Sin
Sin is what is described here.
In Abrahamic contexts, "a sin" is an act that violates God's will. Sin can also be viewed as anything within a person that violates the ideal relationship between them and God.
Or otherwise it is the National Insuarance Number according to some governments in the world. The moment you become 16 you have SIN. You should be proud of ourselves to be awarded such a accolade.
I can go on but lets think about it. strange tale I will tell you.
There he was going to buy some groceries and comes across, a wretched sight. A woman tied to a post and people gathering around her with stones in their hands. Big and small they were. I mean the stones. He stops and thinks about it while looking around. He says " He/she who has no sins throw the first stone". People stopped and thought about it and did not throw any stones. And he goes to buy his groceries. As we all know this is what really happened to Jesus.
Now Jesus is one of these people who got enlightened. He must have realised that we all do not have any sins. That story was made up by the religious bigots to make it appear as, that we all have sins; yeah to make money for themselves.
OK lets start with you. When you are doing something you are doing the right and the best at that point of time. So, since you have been born, you have been doin the right thing at the right time to be here right now, reading this. O! how can thou sin.
Look about you. You have to wake up and find that you are nature and you cannot sin. This is one of the arguments I have against religion. They subjugate you. Enslave you. Free yourself from sin. Guilt. Karma. Do not wait until you are old.

Minerva Institute andTerrorism
Have you any idea what this Minerva Institute and Terrtorism? I researched a bit into this Minerva thingy. It is difficult to explain a lot, but I will keep on piling link after link as I understand the thingy about Minerva
To start with you can get cheap side certificates in the US for education in terrorism. Can you believe it? Well coming from a more secluded environment like me, No. As the man said "I don't believe it". But here is the link, but please I am not advertising and the link will offer no further links I hope. But of course, if you end up in shits from the above link, bugger me from a distance, NOT.
Now the whole scene of worldwide usage of Minerva comes from bloody ingenious imaginary contraption initiated by a demi-god from UK, who wrote the Harrry Potter books; owl called Minerva. I can bring a few links here:
US gov is spending money to research into
Above from the Minerva Institute. So far we understand that the US leading an attack the terrorists with the aid of academics into various anthropological ways and means. But if you resad this article in a blog, you will see that using academics in similar situations in the past has not worked. In fact it has done more harm than a cure. Do not forget these so called boffins have their own agenda. Please read this.
If you like to see how much the boffins are trying to make it difficult for the likes of you and me; please go to this. After all we the people who live in our countries are supposed to be dumb. On;y the politicians whome we elected are very intelligent. They think as leaders not representatives elected by us. Damn. Where the hell did we go wrong. Did you know the German government passed an important law on the eve of the soccer match against the Italians, Same thing happens in UK. Wonder it happens in your country.
Minerva, not the owl, but a dragen raised its head in UK, but got slashed up. You have to go here to read it.

Just as our military forces could not effectively operate without understanding the physical terrain and environment, detection of radical actors and regime disruptions is limited by our understanding of the cultural and political environments where those threats develop. The Minerva Research Initiative, initiated by former Secretary Gates in 2009 and now supported by Secretary Leon Panetta, seeks to build deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and political dynamics that shape regions of strategic interest around the world.
Deeper understanding of global populations and their variance as provided by Minerva-funded research will yield more effective strategic and operational policy decisions. Minerva scholars have already briefed valuable, warfighter-relevant insights to senior officials such as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, decision makers in the defense policy community, and on the ground to our combatant commands.
As the nascent program continues to grow, university-driven Minerva research will further enable critical social and cultural understanding to help decision makers effectively address today's known and tomorrow's unknown challenges. Above is from the Minerva Research Initiative.
The Minerva Steering Committee in the Office of the Secretary of Defence has selected ten proposals for 2012 award. Proposals were solicited through a 2011 Broad Agency Announcement – the second in the program’s history – was extremely competitive. The Department solicited proposals in seven topics of strategic importance and received a total of 330 white papers and 55 full proposals. The total amount of the awards is expected to be as much as $12 million over three years. Based on the proposals selected competition, more than 17 academic institutions, including two non-U.S. institutions, are expected to participate in the ten research efforts.

LIBOR
In the financial world this term LIBOR has made head lines. So I wanted to see whether I can make it simple for me and other simpletons.
Banks lend money to each other. Say for instance at the end of the day Bank A finds that more customers are withdrawn than deposits. So Bank A borrows money from a Bank B, who at the end of the day finds a surplus. There is an interest added for these transactions.
The average rate of interest paid by the banks in such interbank lending is called the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor).
Way to calculate the Libor is very easy. In London 18 banks submit their interest rates to the British Banker's Association. The highest four and the lowest four are ignored and the average of the otherr eight is taken as the Libor. The same system exists in Europe called Euribor.
What the boffins say is that the health of the financial state of the country can be easily derived from this. Hmmmmmm......
Added on 05/07/12: After the credit crunch the major banks did not have any money to lend; and all the banks closed their doors for lending to others. We all knew about it back in 2008 or so. But the problem was that Libor was issued by the British Bankers Association and Euribor in Europe during that period upto now. You decide whether this is legal or not.
