Hey you guys in the Northern Hemisphere, it's reported some strong solar activity will be lighting up the Aurora Borealis tonight and through the weekend. I've only seen YouTube videos and never the real thing, but it appears to be something amazing to watch.



Here are some links on the subject:

Most intelligent people must have thought about the origin of humans and all the other creatures that exist on planet earth floating amongst the billions of stars and planets in the universe (s). They may have settled on a particular viewpoint, but remain open to other possibilities, which is an essential position to take. It would be interesting to learn the views of others who may reveal things that some of us had not considered.
This is an opportunity to share your ideas. You may one day be proved right.

Maybe our ancestors originated on Mars, but left due to a nuclear war.
Maybe our planet was hit deliberately using meteors with all the necessary elements to seed life. Including DNA to define creatures characteristics.
Maybe we are monitored by extra terrestrial beings who adjusted our genetic code to improve the species.
Maybe certain individuals were given special knowledge to benefit society.

Oh, say it ain't so. TWO full moons in the same month! That rarely happens and this month is special. Starting tonight, the moon will be closest to earth making it appear brighter in the night time sky. If you follow events, people usually get irritated during a full moon. Police get record numbers of calls and emergency rooms are usually very busy.

So hang tight and watch the evening sky... it's a supermoon!

More than half the population of China believe in UFOs and there apparently is great interest in the existence and appearance of extra terrestrial craft.
China has built the biggest radio telescope which covers an area large enough to accommodate 30 soccer pitches.
The scope can tune into the tiniest pulses of sound in the universe and the aim is to search for the existence of aliens and other mysteries of space.
Does the Chinese government know more about what's going on in space sufficient to need to build the world's largest radio scope?

....I don't know, something to do with airline transmissions. However, it makes me wonder if there isn't something more behind the scenes....like maybe some of those concerns those rascal conspiracy theorist and scientists had.

It begs the question....why is 5G rolled out elsewhere in the world then?

Friday night was cold in South Florida. A front passed through in the morning with cold rain and high winds. Temperatures dropped to the 40's (Fahrenheit) and Saturday was clear skies, cold and windy. Sunday morning was also into the 40's.
We tried to get through Friday night without heat and the room temperature was around 68, much too cold for sleeping with 4 blankets. I said, the heater goes on and Saturday night with the thermostat set at 73. It was nice.
What I did notice (different than air conditioning) is the bedrooms were warmer than the living room. It was probably a difference of 4 degrees with the thermostat in the hall in the middle of the apartment. I have the louvers on the vents half way open for the bedrooms and all the way open for the living room.
This is the same adjustment all year round, but the air conditioning in the summer months has the bedrooms comfortable and the living room gets really cold. It's cold enough to have a fan blowing the cold air back toward the hallway to stabilize the overall temperature.

I'm puzzled why there is such a difference between the efficiency between heat and cool...

...who goes to the auto mechanic, inquiring about what's RIGHT in the car? It's everywhere, often justified, in trying to improve the world. As when I rant on American HS public school teachers, and those for on line ESL English to unsuspecting foreigners, holding nary a bit of certification much less talent for the craft. Excepting perhaps occasionally being driven to wax pseudo-edudite, with forced, VERY forced, usages, not least of which silly similes and metaphors.
And other admitted pathetic human wannabee failures in life. But I do digress.
Western medicine has worked under similar restraints, and biases, with rare exceptions. Apropos C-19, we can consider the whole field, where formal indices, VERY formal, for well being have long been in play. Cardiac/circulatory fitness, blood sugar levels, pulmonary diffusion, and intelligence.
But how about a focus on immune competence? Dozens of named non-fittness situations for this complex multifaceted system are used daily.. Severe combined Immunodeficiency syndromes, various B and T cell low number disorders, and complement and cytokine inadequacies. Hell, even when there are surpluses, as with auto immune conditions, they all get characterized as bad. What gives, Peebles?
Recall, in ancient times, practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Herbals/Acupuncture) only got paid when the customers were HEALTHY. It got worse if you failed as the emperor's doc. OUCH!
If they can give our last affirmative action, VERY affirmative, POTUS that coveted liberal Nobel prize, for nothing---after months in office, why not the VIERK, and his hottie intern laden Institute for the same?
You heard it here first, the Vierk Institutet Index for Immune Health. VIIIH---sort of has a nice ring to it, NO? Whereby, guided by all the pathology noted above, each of us can be so place into our own little boxes of health and well being. And tests, and even screening protocols, exist for such, in time becoming streamlined and cost effective.
It could range from zero to 100, in combined VIERK units of immune health. Honoring the age a few of us hope to reach. VERY few.
It would have lots of utility, as with us intrepid volunteers, leading AA groups in jails, and cutting spuds at soup kitchens, where there's no shortage of C-19 affected clients, and exposures. And many other clinical and public health preventive uses. As I again spread about, VERY about, my many virtues, in rank digression.
My many fans here, VERY many, who wish to nominate me, please do so using the abbreviation for the index, and the name of the research lab. Please don't misspell VIERK!
A year of free good cigars, Parisian perfume and NZ chardonnay, to whomever gets my name up there first.
You can trust us, we in thoroughly honest scientific endeavor. We are not like all those others.

....I'm checking on where he obtained his MD-PhD. Twin doctorates, but who's counting? I do digress.
So, your fat little illiterate GNOMOID dwarf, is listening on shortwave to the darkie, VERY darkie, African World Service, of the venerable, ueber leftie BBC, only to behold an interesting story. One of their many usually Trump hating, VERY hating, presentations on the C-19 CHINA virus. And just what do I behold? Au contraire, friends, all.
First, a little tedious scientific background. Recall, that Sweden, God bless all those curvaceous/delicious little blondie tartie backsides, is really the only country largely to have avoided various lock-down procedures, notably also in their schools. And they paid for it, with death rates, mostly at care homes, over 5 times as great as in other Blondie Tartie heavens. And sadly, no evidence, yet, of reliable herd immunity. We know little of the human population response to this novel agent.
But, this news report interviewed several Svenske Biostatisticians and lowly Epidemiologists, who said that the school children were none the worse for the courageous, COUNTRY WIDE, clinical epidemiological, natural, enormous, experimental trial.
Sooooooo,as all you highly edumacated CS number crunching medical experts will know, such evidence is the dream of every clued researcher. We like to call these naturalistic-population wide-trials. Alas, try getting one approved by any medical trials ethics committee. How we resent those snooty, arrogant folks, many who have never used a stethescope, or examined a chest film. But perhaps I'll stop this little sub-rant right here.
Now then, I wish this was BBC TV, and not radio. Why? To see the dejected faces and slumped postures, on the ueber liberal studio, staff when they learned that the science behind the call of our Brilliant and Dazzling President Trump was, scientifically, not too shabby.
Like the faces/slinked over stances, of the TV pols and pundits after midnight, last election. When Hilary had to call our awesome hero to concede. Much to their credit, the BBC kept the spin under wraps. No easy task for those with TD-HD Syndromes.
Now, recall the well documented near TOTAL incompetence of the staff and administrations at US government schools, compared with the star quality staffs in northern Europe. So, as we say in these fields, using such data to generalize results, technically speaking, comes with risks.
But one more promise to be kept. And you know what else always gets written here next, folks.
Ah, to gloat is human. To be correct, divine.
