Ukraine

This time one year ago Russia was preparing to invade Ukraine. So many lives since have been lost on both sides. Many, many thousands of refugees have left their homeland through no choice of their own. Cities devastated. Peoples homes flattened into unrecognisable piles of rubble and it continues today. Putin thought he could take Ukraine in a few days...he was badly mistaken. NATO countries have stood strong and helped. Many countries around the world have helped. We in Australia have helped with training Ukranian soldiers to sending money and equipment. There is one question I have often wondered and if any of my friends in the United States can help, I would be appreciative.  Here in Australia, from what I understand, almost everyone supports Ukraine and it's fight against the strength of Putin and Russia. We know that if Ukraine falls to the Russian troops NATO countries are most likely under threat and that will lead to conflict on a much, much larger scale. Why does it appea...

Before Social Media...

 Just got to thinking... Back in the days before social media...which wasn't really that long ago..we had the threat of another form of  Coronavirus... SARS severe acute respiratory syndrome. In November 2002 this form of atypical pneumonia began spreading around the world in which the World Health Organisation declared it to be "a world wide heath threat."  It was scary...often in the news and no one knew exactly what to expect. SARS was an airborne virus...the same as Covid-19 now. It was the first severe transmissible disease to emerge in the 21st century. Spread the same way the current pandemic is now by droplets of saliva, surfaces that have been touched by someone infected by the virus, and spread quickly around the world by international travel. The illness spread to 29 countries where 8096 people caught it and 774 of those people died. Only eight people in the United States caught SARS and none of them died. The SARS outbreak was contained in July 2003. Since 200...

Jan 26

This really won't mean anything to anyone outside of Australia and is connected to a blog I wrote a few days ago regarding Australia Day. I have just found out that back in 1915/17 Australia Day was celebrated on July 27. It was originally a cause to raise money for the war effort. There were various dates in different states of Australia for celebrations such as Foundation Day, Anniversary Day but it wasn't until 1935 that all states of Australia adopted a common date of January 26. In 1994 it was declared a public holiday. Someone made the decision to hold a national celebration on a day that marked the dispossession and oppression of indigenous peoples. Maybe not the best idea... The current date is so divisive, as I said previously, first nations people always refer to January 26 as invasion day, or the day they were robbed and always, every year, there are demonstrations. It never sits well with many and I'm certain it gives bad press to Australia around the world. The...
