Mathematics are based on very precise formulae, whereby, e.g., 2+2 = 4, and you can then divide the 4 by 2 and get 2 as the answer, thereby confirming that you have gotten your calculation correct. But, does 2+2 really equals 4, or should it be more like 5 or more? Why do I want to talk about maths, you might be thinking, especially when I am not good at it? Well, the truth is that I do not want to talk about maths, but something happened today that causes me to ponder on how somethings have a significance greater than that of their sum.   I was watching Bloomsberg's John Micklethwait, when, in ending the interview, John asked President Putin about his take on how one could best help themselves to understand Russia and, presumably, the Russian people, noting that, on his way to Russia, Korean Airlines had offered a choice of two films, Dr Zhivago or The Godfather. to him. President Putin's first response, before he elaborated, was that:   You

The people of the Philippines have not, it seems, been well served by many of their leaders, even though there is the irony of all of these leaders, from Marcos to the current President, Duterte, having massive popular support amongst them. Consider, for example, the Pharoahic former President Fendinand Marcos, that most self-indulgent and egocentric of despots, who acted as if the country and its people were there to serve him, instead of him serving the country and its people. A man - because, irrespective of what he and Duterte might think of themselves, they are no more, athough most probably less than, human - was apparently venerated by great numbers of Philippians. And now we have President Duterte, an apparent homophobic President, whose main pastime, for reasons probably still unknow, has made it his mission to kill as many Philippians as possible, who are involved in or believed to be associated with the drug trade. Not being satisfied with pursuing this goal, it

This is an 8 second video of a flock of probably geese, flying past in arrowed formmation. Do take a brief look and, if you are so inclined, enjoy it!

So, let us talk 'democracy', which is a buzz thing for not only those countries that can lay some claim to practising a 'democratic' form of government, but is also an aspirant virtue which even obvious dictators try to lay claim to, in defending their equally obvious absence of what they are claiming. At its simplest, 'democracy' is a system of government whereby the country has more than one popular political parties, that contest the general elections, in order to determine which party or parties should form the government for the specified term of office, which tends to be between 4 and 7 years. 'Democracy' is predicated upon the principle of the general elections to elect the party or parties being given the electoral mandate to form the next government, being fair elections, but this is often not the case. This is because the contesting parties, whether they are in countries in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, the US, the Americas

Many congratulations to Nico Rosberg, for a masterful drive at the Monza Grand Prix, which has led to him winning by a long margin over his team mate, Lewis Hamilton. It was all about the start of the race, with winning being allocated to the drive who had the best start. That driver was Rosberg, who came from P2 to overtaking his team mate within the first few yards of the the race.  I can recall Lewis having done something like this to Rosberg in the past, and now we have Nico repaying the feat with benefits, as it were. Lewis has had other poor starts this season, something he and his fans must have hoped he would have put behind him. This one seemed even more unbelievable, as not only did it resulted in him falling from first place to 6th within a matter of seconds. But it also presented an hazard for the drivers behind him, although, fortunately, it did not result in any collision.  It was a start which would have reminded everybody of a race between and hare and

Let the racers endeavour to be at one and flow with themselves, their cars and the Monza track Yes, it is true; Hamilton is on Pole for the Monza Italian Grand Prix, and, if the gods are willing, which we earnestly pray that they are, we could be in for a spectacular race. Of course, it goes without saying that those of us who supports the wielder of The Hammer, will be beseeching the gods to, once again, give Lewis Hamilton the humility, tranquillity of mind and the steady and knowing hands and feet to manipulate the controls of his car in a timely manner, so as to ensure that he ends the race as he will have started it; from Pole to P1, having become as one with his car and with the space and time through with the Monza track oscillates. Nico Rosberg, at P2 in the qualifying, could probably be feeling rather anxious, considering the comparatively large margin between Pole and P2. It is clear that he will probably be feeling a lot of pressure to deliver during the rac
