Good afternoon Bloggets. Lots to chat about today again. For
those who have written asking about blogging, once again I am shocked that we
have now had 356,000 reads. A couple of you have asked why I don’t advertise on
my blog page and earn some money, well I have looked into this but knowing
others who advertise, I know how difficult it is to navigate on the page if you
use a screen reader if you have interruptions of adverts, so I would rather
make it easy for those who can’t see to read as a person with sight. It’s
impossible to guess, but out of those who have written or messaged in some way,
I would say that 20 per cent of you have some kind of sight loss and that
number I am sure could be a lot higher as obviously not everyone who reads
writes to me.
Well I got my head out from the sand and listened to the
news today with regards Brexit. Goodness knows what will happen next obviously
Europe want to make it so difficult because they don’t want anyone else leaving
as they will lose a fortune, and if we are a success, then more countries will
leave. The press hates our PM, because she is a quiet lady who has no gossip in
other words, no headlines. They want someone who will give them daily news. All
they can do with her is put her down. It’s the bully factor I really don’t
like. I can’t stand it when people gang up on others. I understand why they do
it, but it’s not nice at all and those who do it, I hope one day they will have
to reflect on their behaviour. Be nice people… as my dear Mum used to say, if
you can’t be nice don’t say anything.
In England, our
petrol is a really good price compared to time gone by. Our mortgages are lower
than they have been and the unemployment is lower than before. Leaving Europe
will be challenging for a while, but then we will be strong again. If you have
a house with a leaking roof, a boiler that doesn’t work and cracked windows,
but you work and your money and all your machines and tools, are sent to other
houses to fix their roofs etc, then what benefit is it to you? You are getting
rained on, you are cold in winter, no hot water and you feel insecure as
someone can come in and take over. To me this is a simple way of explaining why
we need to leave the European Union.
We obviously can still be friends, so they won’t be getting
our money, is that what it’s all about? Stuff feelings and think about the money.
Obviously, we will still help charities abroad, that’s what we do. Just let us
keep our tools and be allowed to use them again to fix what’s broken.
Well my love is back late tonight. About half nine. I can’t
wait to see him. I expect he will be exhausted as it’s such a long way where he
is.
In our news, we are to have a month of snow and ice. Yep, it’s
called winter guys…
Why do zebra’s have stripes? Nothing to do with camouflage,
but to keep horseflies away researchers have discovered.
So, don’t bin your old stripy t/shirt.
Reading some science today, headlines that got me reading further
was (Bacteria in your gut reveals your true age) opposed to what? I mean, I know
my true age… so, I thought I would read on and share what I tried to translate into
words I can understand. Science isn’t my first language. But here goes
The billions of bacteria in your gut may help to regulate
everything from how your immune system functions, to how you digest food.
Researchers have found that your gut has a perfect biological
clock able to predict most people’s age, within years.
The team
did a huge test on three age groups. Using a computer, a deep learning algorithm
modelled on how neurons work.
They asked the program to predict peoples age and it was so accurate
lifestyle what you eat, drink etc and your sleeping pattern effects the bacteria.
The researchers said that this microbiome aging clock could be used as a
baseline to test the speed a person’s gut is ageing and whether things like
alcohol, antibiotics diet and so on could have any effect on longevity and help
with people who have long term diseases like Alzheimer’s to see if their
microbiomes differ from the healthy people in their study. In short, I think
the benefit from this research is to predict if long term medicines for
example, has any negative effects on the gut. I guess if they do, then
what? change medication perhaps?
They say that there are huge differences in people’s guts
around the world, so they want to see I guess who or which group of people in
what countries, have the healthiest guts and look into what they do
differently.
Other headlines are researchers design a cancer busting
protein without the side effects. That’s sounds good, but genetic engineering
could create spicy tomatoes, how is that good news? If you want spice, add
spice for goodness sake. Stop playing with science and do something useful
please? Also, China sprouts cotton plants on the moon…
So, plants are now
growing on the surface of the moon. Cotton, potato seedlings and rapeseed. All growing
in a canister parked on the far side of the moon. I guess next will be
incubators!!!
And on that thought a couple more, to end todays blog.
Why is a person who is to invest your money, called a Broker?
Why is it that if someone tells you there are 1 billion
stars in the universe, you will believe them, but if they tell you that wall
has wet paint, you have to touch it to be sure?
Why is there no mouse flavoured cat food? And finally, by
working faithfully for eight hours per day may get you to be boss, but then you
find you are working 12 hours per day, who is better off?
