  This development has led to a situation where it has become advisable for my dear mother to be admitted to hospital to have a medical assessment.  It is a testimony to my dear mother's sterling pedigree that, she has been found to be still in a medically good condition.  With her gradually increasingly challenging behaviours being a factor of her increasing age and her gradual but relentless neurological and mental deterioration. The impact of which is a call for increased carer support with her personal care of all kinds, and closer monitoring, if not supervision of her daily life.  Which is the challenge confronting members if her family who are continuing to be involved in her welfare.   This development is also bringing back to the fore consideration and discussion about how the increasing frailty and personal care needs of all kinds, of people such as my dear mother, should be met.  Is it time for her to be found a placement in a care home, where she can have a routine of of

  This aggression, as those of us who have seen and/or experience it, builds up into a climatic crescendo for either the man or the woman or both.  In this context, it can be considered as being a 'natural phenomenon', which is the means by which a woman becomes pregnant and have children and ensure the survival of the species.  This suggests that it is an act of aggression and/or violence against women, by men, by which our species is perpetuated.  In an advance and enlightened society, we might see this, when it occurs between two consenting persons, as probably the only legitimate aggression that a man should inflict on a woman. Exploring 'the sexual thing with women', further, I am minded to suggest that, women's sexuality is more complicated that society is prepared to acknowledge. And that women are allowed or permitted by society to disclose. Most women, I think, are not looking for a man who is able to provide them with children with the best genetics.   The

  Yes, I get it that, that, for the individual, having the opportunity to live longer, would mean having more time to spend with loved ones, with families, and doing the things each person likes and enjoy doing.  Depending, of course, on such relevant factors as the individual's age, health, means and circumstances.  Where the individual is involved in key activities, such as healthcare, scientific research and development, education, etc.  Then there might well be a strong social good benefit from the prolongation of the life of such individuals.  For the general population, however, 'the thing about seeking to prolong our lives', is that it would probably cost more than it benefits our species as a whole. I mean, a livestock breeder perceives his/her wealth in terms of the number of cattle, pigs, goats, camel, horsed, llamas, et al, that they have. in the first instance.  But this wealth can only be secured if the famer is able to provide for the wellbeing of his/her anim

  It is the mark of a true Champion and a mature person, that he would only rather reluctantly accept a 'gift' to which he cannot, in good conscience, attest to having 'won', and won fairly.  So is the dilemma which confronted Max Verstappen, a veritable and courageous racer, who was gifted not only the P.1 finishing position of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday 12th December 2021.  But also the 2021 Formula 1 Drivers Championship.  Max, probably understandably, was elated with feelings of joy which probably took him to the heavens and back.  Yes, the same 'Heaven' where we might imagine the "Racing Gods" whom Christian Horner beseeched to send down "a miracle" to rid Red Bull and Max of their tribulations.  As they chased after the, until 'the miracle', seemingly winning and pending Eighth Times Drivers Champion, Lewis Hamilton, increasing his distance ahead of Max.  A "miracle" which, in their mysterious ways of working,

  .... the winner of the 2021 Formula 1 Driver's Championship is still undecided.  Yes, winning a battle in a 'war', unless it can be considered and is 'the decisive battle', may give the winner an advantage in the eventual outcome of the war, or campaign, but it does not normally foretell who will be the eventual winner.  And so it is, in this the final battles of the current Championship campaign between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, and their respective teams. By using a tactical team strategy involving his team mate, Perez helping  him, Verstappen, to create conducive vortex he needed  to help catapult him to Pole position, in the Abu Dhabi Y as Marinas Circuit.  Team Red Bull has undoubtedly placed Max and themselves in an advantageous position to begin the race on Sunday.  Winning that race, however, is something quite different from taking Pole during Qualifying. Especially in a Championship-deciding race such as this one. There are simply too many quali

  And more often than not, those words will be negative, such as saying she does not want something or she does not want to do something.   This has meant that, more than ever now, my dear mother, for probably the remainder of  the end of her life, is going to be more isolated and confined in her body; and her inner world.  With her thoughts, her desires and aspirations remaining known mostly only to her; except for those times when she desires things and is able to find effective means of expressing them to the beholder/s. Is this phase a traumatic interlude in the closing stage of the life of  my dear mother?   Is it making her sad, sorrowful and distressed? Or is she, according to the level of her cognition, her insight into what has befallen her, resigned to and is at relative peace with what she is making of the experience?  Probably especially is she is not forcefully made to comply with what others, her carers, family, friends and relevant professionals consider to 'be in he

  ...The plentiful debris cleared  and teams and racers' communication chattering had abated. so, what is there to be said about the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, which was fought out at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit?  Shall we not declare it, 'the Grand Prix from Hell'? Or, 'the Endurance Grand Prix'? Yes, there were seemingly endless breath-stopping adrenalinised moments, times when we watched the fearless and apparently fearless racers.  As they rapidly made their way through the undulating corners and valkyrie-inhabited walls surrounding circuit.  Racing, they were, as if they and their gallant 4-wheeled steeds were programmed to avoid hitting and crashing into this and that opposing shock-absorbing wall.  Even though there were occasions when glitches did penetrate the symmetry between some of the racers and their cars, team control centres and the circuit, and leading to the race-stopping embrace between car and wall.  And the ensuing VSCs, and SC and Red Flagging a
