Just over 50 years ago a TV program held my interest like no other. “Why is it so?” His own science-based TV series which was filmed at the University of Sydney where he taught, was broadcast from 1963 to 1986 and became an instant hit known for its "cool experiments, interesting science, and fantastic hair" … the presenter was Professor Julius Sumner Miller, who has been a huge positive influence in the lives of many young people.
As well as the cool experiments, some of his sayings were, and still are, excellent advice … “ Whatever work you undertake to do in your lifetime, it is very important that first you have a passion for it - you know, get excited about it - and second, that you have fun with it. That's important. Otherwise, you see, your work becomes nothing but an idle chore. Then, you hate the life you live.”
We can cope with many many things. But we NEED to feel the grass on our toes. Sunshine, fresh air and a nice meal with conversation.
That is what life and living is all about.
When we are told by our governments or those in power that we no longer have basic human rights to breathe fresh air, access human contact and enjoy that which was granted to prisoners under the Geneva Convention, something is wrong. Very very wrong indeed.
I wanted to take a moment to recognize Novak Djokovic and his heroic defiance of the COVID regime, lending his enormous platform and status to the millions of people around the world who have been denied their unalienable rights in the name of a virus.
You would never know it by his disposition, but “Djoker” has an amazing rags to riches story, and he’s well aware of how governments can cause great human suffering. Growing up in war-torn Belgrade, Djokovic had to learn to play tennis in between bombing raids. Far from a silver spooned prodigy, he had to defy incredible odds to just achieve a modicum of success, and yet he has become one of the greatest athletes of all time.

Every sick child, and probably every adult at some point, asks that existential question: why am I suffering?
No answer is satisfying. To be sick is to feel vulnerable, weak, not in control, not in the game. Life is chugging along outside of your room. You can hear laughter, cars going here and there, people out and about. But you are stuck, shivering under blankets, appetite disrupted and struggling to remember what it was like to feel healthy.
With fever, all of this is worse because the capacity for one’s brain to process information with full rationality is deprecated. High fever can induce a form of brief insanity, even involving hallucinations. You imagine things that are not true. You know that but can’t shake it off. The fever breaks and you find yourself in a pool of sweat, and your hope is that somewhere in this mess the bug has left you.

I watched a video today which has had a deep impact upon me. It said so much in such a short time and I found it hard to argue with or question anything in it. The speaker said " To those of you who are not aware of what is going on or still haven't figured it out, Let me get you up to speed. Citizens of Australia - we are at war. "
When our government on a federal level and our governments on a state level start locking us up, depriving us of our rights " for our own good ": I have to wonder: are we at war?
Or have we already surrendered?
How did we bend over and give up so quickly? Not a shot fired, unless you count rubber bullets of course; not a blow dealt - unless you count the taking down of people walking in parks; not a person handcuffed - unless you count the pregnant women and old aged pensioners - ah, such a peaceful battle.
Novak Novax is now a household name throughout the world - even with those who have never followed tennis.
It struck me that this was completely different from how I have acted for as long as I can remember. In my day, and to the present, when someone showed you a courtesy, you would show appreciation, “a little thing”.

WW2 brought an abrupt end to test cricket as it did with most other internationally contested sports. The last test tour of England was in 1938 which ended in a drawn series and Australia retaining the Ashes. The next tour by England was scheduled for 1940/41 but was curtailed due to the war.
Before the end of 1945 the public, particularly in England, were anxious for cricket to resume and a series of four matches was arranged between England and an Australian composite side drawn from service personnel based in the UK. This was known as The Australian Services team and was captained by Lindsay Hassett. The games were known as The Victory Tests but they did not have Ashes Test status. Two games were won by each side and the fifth listed for Manchester was abandoned.

We seem to be so pre occupied with fear and tales of terror these days, don't we? If you are not careful with your choice of news broadcaster, you could believe that the end of the world is nigh.
The problem is that it does not matter which broadcaster you choose, all that is being reported is that the end of the world, as we know it, is on our very doorstep. Fear is a terrible weapon and it is often the fear of a bogeyman that does not exist that causes the greatest fear.

Could the Australian Government’s current banning of Novak Djokovic be because of his public support for the preservation of Serbian ecology in Jadar Valley? Hmm... let's have a think.
Rio Tinto is an Australian mining company that was planning to open a huge Lithium mine in Serbia. There have been massive anti Rio Tinto protests across Serbia in recent months, protests that were supported by many popular public figures, including Djokovic.
Djokovic shared a photograph of the protest on Instagram and commented that “clean air, water and food are keys to health. “Without that, every word about ‘health’ is obsolete,”
Would Rio Tinto be amused? Probably not. In fact, I suspect that they would not appreciate Novak Novax supporting a movement to stop them mining lithium in Serbia. Tut tut, Novak!

By the time solar energy reaches Earth’s surface it is spread very thin – even midday sunshine will not boil the billy or make toast. And solar collectors will only convert about 20% of that weak energy into electricity. Thus thousands of solar panels are needed to collect significant energy, and lots more to charge the expensive batteries needed to maintain electricity supply overnight and during cloudy weather. Despite these disadvantages, force-feeding of “green” energy by all levels of government has given Australia nearly three million solar collectors (mainly imported from China).
It requires scads of land to generate significant electricity from the sun’s weak rays. But even in sunny weather they produce nothing for 16 hours every day. And a sprinkling of dust, pollen, ash or salt, or a few splatters of poop from birds or flying foxes can reduce output by 50%, while night, snow or heavy cloud cover snuffs them out completely.
