Daniel Ricciard has been on fire during Practice 2 of the preparations for the Singapore Grand Prix.   With Hamilton and Bottas not being able to promote themselves above third and fourth fastest by the end of the session. So, is this an indication of how the 2017 Singapore Grand Prix is going to develop?  Is it going to be Ricciarda's, Verstappen's, Vettel's or Kimi's race, with Hamilton and Bottas following the Podiumites home? Or is it the case that, as the song goes, '(we) ain seen anything yet,' as Hamilton and Bottas are about to unleash something spectacular in the Qualifying and the Race itself?  Team Mercedes, to be fair, as Alonso might have said, have been talking down their chances of winning at Singapore.  Whether this is due to some realistic assessment of their chances of being as competitive, if not dominant, as they have been in other races on circuits which better suit their cars, is not clear.  Is it that they they ar

These emotions, anger and rage, can have physiological, psychological, social and physical consequences.   For both the person exhibiting them, and for those being exposed to them. As they are likely to evoke physiological anxiety and fear responses in the people directly involved.  The display of these emotions are also likely to adversely affect the atmosphere and security of the people around those who are immediately involved, as it reverberates outwardly.  The person displaying the anger and rage, is likely to become more disinhibited.   Which will enable them free themselves of the personal and social rules which would have helped them to control their perceived over-reactions, to the situation.  Instead of using their social awareness and ability to empathise and control their behaviour.   They use the suspension of them to try to control their external environment, by their display of anger and rage.  The expression of which seems to feed and sustain

And the people cry out to God, save us from these disasters which are becoming the bane of our lives, more so than ever.  But the Gods do not help us, not just because it is said that God helps those who help themselves. And us human do not do enough to help ourselves.  But because we have become too attached to a way of organising our societies, which is no longer sustainable.  An hungry human will kill and sell the last cow on the planet, if it is what he has to do to get the money to buy what he needs keep him and his family alive for another day. It would not be 'right', but he would do it.  And so it is that, in helping to protect ourselves from self-induces or human assisted environmental disasters.   We need to find more environmentally friendly ways of ensuring that the haves-not of the world.  Do not have to destroy or dangerously exploit any natural resources they still have in their local environments.   In their attempts to have 'secure

Adolph Hitler and his henchmen - hardly ever any women - were evil incarnate.  The very essence of evil personified. But the chances are they were also Christians.  They probably went to church when they could find the time to drag themselves away from planning and executing the hundreds of thousands, millions of people.   Men, women and children, who were to lose their lives and livelihoods for a catastrophic, and, ultimately, pointless hell of a war.  Compare the pathology of that war with ISIL/Daesh/Al Queda's wars, purportedly being waged on behalf of their god? A war which was not intended to bring happiness and prosperity to humans, but rather the presumed 'greater glory of the Aryan people.'  The inception of Hitler's hoped for Thousand Year Third Reich. An evil regime which, despite its intended glory, did not last for more 6 paltry, but merciless years.   At a cumulative cost of an estimated 60 million people. Or about 3 per cent of the worl

This, we can achieve by ensuring that, not only do we feed and water our bodies, but that we indulge them in regular and manageably strenuous exercised.  That we get our bodies, through exercises, to work diligently at maximising their renewal.  The cells to become enervated, recharged, and work at their optimum levels in generating the positive energies.   Which circulate through our bodies, and enable body, mind and intellect to, not only become one, but also to dispel discordance and achieve optimum symmetry. This we can do, at whatever age, and, to a greater or lesser degree, despite some disabilities. Probably our biggest challenge is the need to get to the point, where we are not ruled or led by our olfactory and sweet and salty taste buds, into becoming unhealthy and even destructive eaters.  More control over the quality and quantity of the foods and drinks we put, and even dump into our bodies.  Will go a long way into helping us to achieve and maintain healthy

Yes, it is the case that our current lifestyle is predicated upon the principle of producing and consuming more material things.   And that we have developed a tendency of increasing what constitutes 'basic and essential needs', according to the modus operandi of our respective societies.  For example, whether we live in the more industrialised and technologically advanced societies, or in the less advanced ones. And yet, we cannot expect to continue with this exponential increase in our populations, in our basic and affluence needs and demands on a a finite environment.  One which does not have the natural capacity to replace resourced which we are extracting from it.  The environment in which we live does not have the level of elasticity and renewability which our modus operanti is demanding from it.  If we want to improve the lives of the billions of people who are not able to participate in the comparative affluence and rich lifestyles of the p

Could it really be the case that Jihadis buy into the myth of attaining paradise and 72 virgins when they die.  And that this is the biggest inducement for them to commit the crimes they are blighting the world with?  Are Jihadis like the proverbial man who, due to his impotence, has become a cold and oppressive bully?  Is it that they feel vulnerable and powerless, inadequate, in this world.   And that this feeling of impotence in this world is driving them to speed up their transition into what is no more than a mythical  world of 'Paradise'?  Do then not realise that they would be even more unsuited to living in such a world, when they have become so steeped in expressing themselves in barbarous ways on earth? And most telling of all, what god would welcome the murderers of the innocent? Imagine the conversation which Allah would be having with the Jihadi veteran. Allah.: Ah, Jihadi! How are you feeling on your arrival at my kingdom? Is it what yo

So, we do not have to be an accomplished athlete or professional, to appreciate and admire them, when we see them.   They are true examples of the fruits of their labour, their toil and dedication to their vocation.  And how is it that these exemplary men and women come to so, apparently effortlessly, command our admiration?  Quite likely because of the heightened presence, the energy, the essence of good health and primeness which they exude. These men and women do not achieve their statuses from simple eating, drinking and resting.  No, they have to add to these ingredients that vital element of, yes,  exercising  their bodies.  Meeting the challenges of the negative forces of nature, the ones which have as their primary objective, the degradation of all faunal and floral lives.  The intention of bringing them to an end. Of course this is indeed the destiny of all living things.  However, the challenge which confronts us is to endeavour to become the best w
