The New Math

Are the Maldives still afloat? Yes but in 48 days they will be underwater. Just like my mortgage.

Too bad, so beautiful.

Another prediction from one of our esteemed scientists. Stephen Hawking is now saying that the end of the world is nigh. Remember this:

It’s about a pill that will change everything. Stephen Hawking says so.

So what will happen if I take this?” someone said. “Well, if you follow the regimen then you too can be as smart as Stephen Hawking.” Or be very, very careful with all of that new brain energy. This could happen to you:

or this:

Stephen Hawking is now saying the end of the world is nigh. Like this guy:

Well if you have ever watched Bill Nigh the science guy Mr Hawking may be right.

Good for a laugh. Just like these trade talks. Hey, anybody seen Justine?

The benefits of Marijuana usage. A new report taken from the old reports;

Slide 9 of 22: <p> Marijuana may throw off your balance, as it influences activity in the cerebellum and basal ganglia, two brain areas that <a href="https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/how-does-marijuana-produce-its-effects"> help regulate</a> balance, coordination, reaction time, and posture.</p>Yeah, take a look at this guy. “Yeah man, like I said, give me 6 minutes.” See, he’s taken the new math!

Slide 18 of 22: <p> In a <a href="http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2014/11/05/1415297111.abstract"> recent study</a>, scientists used MRI brain scans to get a better picture of the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/long-term-marijuana-use-effects-on-the-brain-2014-11?utm_source=msn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=msn-slideshow&utm_campaign=bodyurl"> brains of adults who have smoked weed</a> at least four times a week for years.</p><p> Compared to people who rarely or never used the drug, the long-term users tended to have a smaller orbitofrontal cortex, a brain region critical for processing emotions and making decisions. But they also had stronger cross-brain connections, which scientists think smokers may develop to compensate.</p><p> Still, the study doesn't show that smoking pot caused certain regions of the brain to shrink; other <a href="http://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-3223(11)01043-2/fulltext"> studies</a> suggest that having a smaller orbitofrontal cortex in the first place could make someone more likely to start smoking.</p><p> Most researchers agree that the people most susceptible to brain changes are those who begin using marijuana regularly during adolescence.</p>

Regular weed use is linked with some specific brain changes — but scientists can’t say for sure whether one causes the other. “Is it the right side of the brain man or the left side.”  “Don’t know man. Give me another toke and we can discuss this further.”  “You mean farther.”  “No man further”

“Like, like the end of the world is nigh man, like, y’know. Like just ask Bill”

Canada’s environment minister is upset at being called Climate Barbie. She was overheard complaining to her main confident Ken. Ken was heard to remark: “Sorry Ma’am but when you’re in the public spotlight you have to grow a pair.”

Seems that with all of these sexual expose’s we are hearing about everyone is coming out of their closets. “It’s a new fad man. Sexual Exploitation. Seems everyone is in on the act.” Harv was heard to say. Don’t know about you but I am tired of all of this degradation. St Andrea’s, please hear my prayer. You can’t come soon enough. BTW, I have a headache!

Meanwhile in Belgium:

Police hurt as Football fans go on the rampage. At least 22 police officers were injured in Brussels after violence broke out involving Moroccan football fans celebrating their team reaching next year’s World Cup.

Gawd I hate to see what happens if they had lost. Ah yes, Football the Beautiful Game:

What a riot man. Gotta love those sky blue uniforms.

You just know where this is going. New Ontario law:

Whoever named this Bill is a wise fool, or an oxy-moron!

 

And for all of those BC lefty liberal proponents for social housing and high density accommodation, take a look at this:

Image result for pics of east european housing projectsIt has been done before. This is human nature and a result of misplaced social housing policies. Yes Victoria, this could be your new normal.

 

This just in from Bonn, venue for the UN’s COP 23 and their fight against climate change:

“The transition towards a zero-emission society must be designed in a way that does not aggravate inequalities or create social fractures, but instead helps to balance differences. In calling for a fair transition, the EESC has always refused to play employment off against environmental protection. These two objectives are closely linked and should be pursued with equal determination.”

Oh, you mean communism. I take you back to the picture just above.

Lest We Forget: Dunkirk, Battle of Britain, Blitz

Image result for pics of poppiesLest We Forget………………………………………………………Never

Image result for pics of dunkirkThe Battle of Dunkirk was a military operation that took place in Dunkirk (Dunkerque), France, during the Second World War. The battle was fought between the Allies and Nazi Germany. As part of the Battle of France on the Western Front, the Battle of Dunkirk was the defence and evacuation to Britain of British and other Allied forces in Europe from 26 May to 4 June 1940. See latest movie….excellent.

The Blitz was a German bombing offensive against Britain in 1940 and 1941, during the Second World War. The term was first used by the British press as an abbreviation of Blitzkrieg (lightning war). The Germans conducted mass air attacks against industrial targets, towns and cities, beginning with raids on London towards the end of the Battle of Britain in 1940, a battle for daylight air superiority between the Luftwaffe and the Royal Air Force over the United Kingdom. By September 1940, the Luftwaffe had failed and the German air fleets (Luftflotten) were ordered to attack London, to draw RAF Fighter Command into a battle of annihilation.[4][5] Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe, ordered the new policy on 6 September 1940. From 7 September 1940, London was systematically bombed by the Luftwaffe for 56 out of the following 57 days and nights.[6] Most notable was a large daylight attack against London on 15 September.

Battle of Britain

The Battle of Britain (German: Luftschlacht um England, literally “the air battle for England”) was a military campaign of the Second World War, in which the Royal Air Force (RAF) defended the United Kingdom (UK) against large-scale attacks by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). It has been described as the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces.[16]

The British officially recognise the battle’s duration as being from 10 July until 31 October 1940, which overlaps the period of large-scale night attacks known as the Blitz, that lasted from 7 September 1940 to 11 May 1941.[17] German historians do not accept this subdivision and regard the battle as a single campaign lasting from July 1940 to June 1941, including the Blitz.

Lest We Forget: SE Asia 1941 / 42

Image result for pics of poppiesLest We Forget………………………………………….Never

South East Asia

The South-East Asian Theatre of World War II was the name given to the campaigns of the Pacific War in Burma, Ceylon, India, Thailand, Philippines, Indochina, Malaya and Singapore. Objectives for conquering these countries included the seizure of natural resources such as rubber and petroleum from European colonies in the region. Conflict in this theatre began when the Empire of Japan invaded French Indochina in September 1940 and rose to a new level following the Raid on Pearl Harbor, and simultaneous attacks on Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Malaya on 7/8 December 1941. The main landing at Singora (now Songkhla) on the east side of the Isthmus of Kra preceded the bombing of Pearl Harbor by several hours. Action in the theatre officially ended on 9 September 1945.

Veteran’s Affairs Canada: The Dieppe Raid was launched on August 19, 1942, and would prove to be the bloodiest single day for Canada’s military in the entire Second World War. Of the almost 5,000 Canadian soldiers who took part in this ill-fated raid on occupied France, more than half became casualties. Sadly, a total of 916 Canadians would lose their lives.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid. The service and sacrifice of Canadians who fought there will never be forgotten.

 Lest we forget!
