Quite amazing really!

I was watching a magazine program on tv a day or so ago and they were talking about one man’s problem with the onset of Parkinson’s disease and how it was affecting his speech. One of the effects people suffer from with Parkinson’s disease is stammering. It was mentioned that an effective procedure was available to alleviate that problem but it would cost the guy about £1000, a sum he couldn’t afford to spend. However there was a much less expensive alternative which hopefully would do the same thing and the cost was a mere £10! Evidently there was a phone application or ‘app’ as it is more commonly known. Used with a ‘Bluetoothearpiece the phone receives what is spoken and immediately sends it back through the earpiece which has the desired effect of halting the stammer on the speaker. It works so well it is as if the speaker has no problem with speaking at all. Now I am not one for gadgetry as my regular readers will have gathered but even I have to admit to this being a really useful application of a mobile phone! I can see how some gadgets really can be useful. It is awful to see people suffering from afflictions  and unfortunately many afflictions cannot be treated but some can be eased with the aid of technology. I cannot see a day though where all ailments find a cure but I can see better times ahead in many fields of medicine and hope for those who find themselves at the mercy of Nature gone wrong.

Do you ever think of these things?

Posted by Shirley Anne on August 20, 2011

Solar System Planets.

Image via Wikipedia

You know, we live on a very special planet and for those of us who believe in a Creator God, one that was purpose-built. Well even if you are an atheist or believe in other things the fact remains, this is a very special place. Consider these things..

1 The planet itself is just the right size to have and maintain an atmosphere, more especially one that we can breathe. If the Earth was smaller it could not hold on to its atmosphere, gravity would not be strong enough. If the Earth were larger it would hold on to the more poisonous gasses and the air we now can breathe would not be breatheable and probably far denser too.

2 The Earth is situated at just the right distance from the sun so that it is neither too cold nor too hot having temperatures between -60C to +60C (approximately) with the greater portion of the surface being at a temperature we can live with. Think about the planet Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. It has a daytime temperature that is hot enough to melt the metal lead and a night-time temperature that approaches absolute zero! If it has an atmosphere as some have suggested in more recent times, it is very tenuous indeed, almost a complete vacuum to be precise. Venus, the second closest to the sun does have a very dense atmosphere but it comprises very poisonous gasses, acidic in fact and with a very high temperature also capable of melting lead (>500C).

3 The Earth has an axis which is tilted at 23.5 deg from the ecliptic (the suns apparent path around the sky during the year, which is in fact the path we travel around the sun). This factor alone gives rise to our seasons so that each of the hemispheres are alternately pointed toward the sun then away from it. This allows a temperature variation which when coupled with the tidal motions of the seas and oceans cause us to have a weather system, essential to circulate the atmosphere and the oceans to prevent stagnation. This serves to allow precipitation too, essential for watering the planets flora which in turn produces our food. Now although all the other planets have similar axis tilts with Uranus having one that is tilted at 98 deg making it a very unusual object indeed, none of the other planets are at the same distance as we are away from the sun and their ‘seasons’ are accordingly vastly different from what we would call a season. Only the planet Mars comes anywhere near what we have on earth but without large oceans and a substantial atmosphere to sustain life as we know it.

4  We have a large Moon circling the planet without which we would not have tidal motion. The seas would become stagnant through a lack of movement around the globe which also would considerably affect what resulting weather we might have should it not be there.

5 The Earth has just the right gravitational pull on both ourselves and every other living creature on the planet, including plant life as well as the atmosphere. Anything much stronger would have an adverse effect on our growth and ability to get around. Plants would not be able to grow tall to produce enough fruit and seeds for us to eat. Trees would be stunted and there would be no such thing as jungles or forests. No jungles, no diversity of animal life. No forests, no cover for other plants or animals and no wood for us to use as a building material. Also, as mentioned, the atmosphere would be completely different too.

6 The Sun is just the right type of star to support life on Earth. If it were cooler it would be red, either dwarf in size producing insufficient radiation to keep us warm and well-lit or a supergiant engulfing us! If it was hotter it would most likely be too large  and producing way too much radiation, we would in this case be fried! The Sun is also stable and produces a fairly steady output of heat, light and other radiation. As it is the Sun, although just the right size, does produce deadly radiation too. However, because the Earth has a molten iron-based core which produces a very strong magnetic field encompassing the whole planet, this ‘shield’ diverting harmful rays around the planet. Some of this radiation however is drawn into the north and south magnetic poles of the Earth giving rise to the Aurora Borealis and Australis, the northern and southern lights.

Yes this special planet revolves around a special star which circles around a huge galaxy (The Milky Way) at just the right distance from its centre so we are not bombarded with the extremely high radiation levels present where the star density is so great there could never be night-time and the heat would be unbearable. Don’t you think this planet is a very special place?

Everyone’s got frogs!

Posted by Shirley Anne on March 10, 2011

Yesterday morning I was in someone’s house doing some work and had occasion to go into the garden where they had a small pond. I wasn’t paying too much attention to the pond but as I glanced over I noticed several ‘disturbances’ on the water surface so I watched for a moment and saw many frogs swimming about and surfacing now and then. I was in another house a couple of weeks ago and the owner had, according to him, over fifty frogs in his small pond. Well Spring is in the air and frogs being frogs will be active in the reproduction stakes. I like frogs but when we had a pond in our old house it was filled with fish rather than frogs. We did get frogs of course. They seem to be able to find water no matter where it is! The fish would have eaten any eggs or young tadpoles preventing  an increasing frog population. The frogs don’t need any special care as fish do so are easy to ‘breed’, not that anyone, I feel, would want to breed them! Where I live, that is the general area, especially along the ‘slacks’, that is the wetland areas within the coastal sand dunes, there are Natterjack Toads. They are a protected species and can be seen almost everywhere in season. My house is something like half a mile from the sand dunes and occasionally we get natterjacks around the gardens. How they get here is anyone’s guess as it is concrete and tarmac all the way from the beach, not to mention the traffic!

And the lion shall lie down with the lamb…”

Posted by Shirley Anne on February 25, 2011

And the lion shall lie down with the lamb…”
Although the phrase of “the lion shall lie down with the lamb” is one of the more popular quotes from the Bible, it’s really misquoted. In the King James version, it’s the wolf that dwells with the lamb, and it’s a leopard that lies down with a kid, and “the calf and the young lion and the fatling together.” (Isaiah 11:6)

But in today’s world, there really is a lion that lies down with a calf…in fact, she adopted and nurtured a total of five antelope calves.

It’s a remarkable story of the love of one animal for another, and it seems to personify the truth that not all natural enemies are exactly that—natural and unavoidable enemies.

On Christmas Day of 2001, game wardens at the Samburu National Park in Kenya watched as an adult lioness frightened off an oryx antelope mother, and picked up her baby calf in its mouth. Because lions normally hunt these antelope, they assumed the lion would kill and eat the baby. But then the unexpected happened.

The lion, named Larsens, began to nuzzle and fondle the frail little creature. Behavioral scientists first stated that the lioness had probably mistaken the oryx calf for a lion cub. But then the lioness showed her awareness of the calf as another species, because she allowed the calf to return to her natural mother to nurse.

For more than two weeks, the lioness Larsens nudged the little calf along, all the while allowing her to return to her antelope mother for nourishment before chasing the mother antelope away once again.

The fragile baby oryx was seen crossing the savannah with her lioness “mother,” and would curl up by her side for naps. Tragedy struck one day while the lioness napped by a water hole. While the baby oryx was playing, another lion attacked and killed it.

According to the wardens, Larsens was enraged when she woke. Ten times she circled the lion that killed her oryx calf, roaring all the while. Then she disappeared from view.

Larsens was seen a few weeks later, following herds of oryx antelope. “She never kills them,” said one warden. “When she is hungry, she goes after warthogs.”

But Larsens would again amaze the rangers with her mothering instincts. On Valentine’s Day, 2002, lioness Larsens was spotted with another oryx calf. And just like the last one, she’d adopted the calf as her own.

It seemed Larsens had learned the need to protect her new baby from other lions and predators. She guarded the new baby ferociously, chasing off any lions that approached. “There are other lions trying to attack the lioness to get to the baby, but the rangers are watching them and the lioness is protecting the calf,” said park warden Mark Lenya-kopir.

“This is one extraordinarily maternal cat,” said lion expert Jim Cavenor. “I’ve seen lions adopt a few small animals, but they usually end up turning round and eating them after a couple of days. But she seems to be totally fixated on this little one.”

Unlike the common assumptions of most people, animals do think. Their thinking is not some robotic response to environmental stimuli, but an active, cognitive reasoning. Larsens is proof of this. She adopted a series of what was normally a “prey” species for lions, and protected them as her own. She knew she could not provide nourishment for them, and allowed them to return to their mothers for food.

Larsens is just one example of how animals react with emotion, with feeling and with true knowledge of what they are doing. She ultimately adopted a total of five oryx calves, giving all of them fierce protection and tender care while ignoring her own basic needs. Her actions have made her a legend among the people of Kenya, and they bestowed another name on her because of their reverence for her loving nature.

The Samburu people call her Kamunyak—the blessed one.

It is amazing what can be read in the Bible but it also shows that not all animals are as dumb as we sometimes think they are. Whether incidences of this kind of behaviour are widespread is debatable, you’ll have to make your own assessment.

How Big is Big? How Small is Small?

Posted by Shirley Anne on February 1, 2011

A short while ago I wrote a post called ‘How big is big’? Click on the Astronomy ‘Picture for today’ on the right just here and watch a nine-minute movie. It was made in 1960 so some of you may already have seen it. I thought it was fascinating. Tomorrow the picture will change although you should still be able to view the movie by clicking on the archive arrow at the bottom of the screen.

You’re havin’ a larf!

Posted by Shirley Anne on January 30, 2011

There is a local saying here in Southport that the sea tide never comes in and to be sure when it is out sometimes a pair of binoculars are needed to see the sea! However look at these photos taken a couple of years ago by a local resident:-

Mouse over the pics for a caption

As you can see, we do see the sea. It is often the case though that whenever I go down to the seafront for a walk I seldom catch the tide in. The above pictures were taken at the Spring high tide so when the tide does come in throughout the year it isn’t as bad as this.

The Birds

Posted by Shirley Anne on January 5, 2011

I suppose many of you will remember that old Alfred Hitchcock thriller where normally placid birds flocked together to attack human beings. I am not going to say that is what is happening around our garden but since the snow has melted we have been inundated with birds. Some of them are less frequent visitors to the lawn, such as Jays and Crows who for some reason normally go elsewhere but are being attracted by the food we have been putting out for them all. We hang feeding balls on the branches of trees so that the smaller birds can feed uninterrupted by the larger variety who muscle in on the action at ground level where we place other food. We haven’t a bird table in the garden so perhaps we will give that some thought as Summer approaches. During the cold weather they have found the food a life-saver and continue to grace our presence as we continue to feed them, which we will do whilst it is cold. I think it best to ease off putting food out when the days are warmer so as not to encourage them relying on us to feed them when they can forage for themselves. It is nice to see the different varieties of birds we get visiting and it is quite surprising just how many of the there are! The largest, aside from the occasional seagulls, are the Magpies. The smallest are the Tits. All are welcome of course.

Feed the birds

Posted by Shirley Anne on November 30, 2010

Do you remember that song from the movie Mary Poppins? Although it isn’t officially Winter until 21st December that makes no difference to the actual weather being as cold as it is just now. We are quite fortunate where we live in that the amounts of snow we get here never amounts to much; these last few years we have had very little compared to the rest of the country. Last year saw a couple of bad weeks but it was more the resulting ice that formed from the couple of inches of snow that had fallen rather than the snow itself. It is a bad time for the birds too when the weather worsens. The last of the Autumn fruit has fallen from the trees, there are no insects flying about and the worms are staying below ground. I wonder how the birds cope with it all but they do. However E and I do leave food out for them whenever we can. E recently bought a couple of ‘bird feeders’ in which to place some ‘fat’ balls so the birds will always have something to eat should we get snow covering everywhere. We have an amazingly varied selection of birds that visit our garden. I will list them: there are wood pigeons, blackbirds, thrushes, starlings and sparrows (only a few of those two though, they seem to have largely disappeared) magpies, robins, tits, wrens, jays, crows, gulls, owls and there is even a woodpecker around! Not all of them will visit for food I suppose but we place it out in case they do. The owls probably find their own food as they like to catch it themselves! Many of our neighbours do the same and leave food out so our birds will not perish during the colder months. Spare a thought for the birds and if you have a garden put something out for them when you can. They will eat the fat from meat (and the meat too) but it must be chopped finely for them. The smaller birds will appreciate the leaving out of seed and if it is mixed with fat all the better. Enjoy watching them and be grateful that you have it a lot easier than they do.

A let down

Posted by Shirley Anne on September 26, 2010

There was one thing you can say about me, apart from many others and that is I am reliable. If I say I will do something, I will do it. If we agree on something I will not let you down. It is in my nature to be like this, it is who I am. Unfortunately this isn’t always so with many people. If I make arrangements with people I expect them to respond and not let me down. I expect honesty and reliability. Until about six weeks ago I was having electrolysis but now that has stopped until I decide to continue. The girl who was doing the electrolysis has let me down. On her last visit I paid her in advance for six sessions, she gave me one session and has not returned on our agreed appointment date which was about six weeks ago now. Naturally I thought she had forgotten and I waited for her call but none came. I have left messages on her phones and have spoken to somebody over the phone asking to speak with her and left a message with them but have not received an acknowledgement. I know where she lives so it appears I have to visit her to see what is wrong. I can understand if somebody cannot keep appointments for reasons of illness or family problems but I think it discourteous not to contact people to let them know. Now I am wondering if she has done a moonlight flit and I am not the only one she’s let down.

I get let down and have been let down many times in my life. I tend to give people the benefit of my doubt and I am usually unwilling to think the worse of them. I am too soft and easy-going I suppose, always expecting people to have the same standards in dealing with others as I do. I do wonder why some people treat others they way they do and how they would feel if people treated them the same way. Perhaps this is the problem. Perhaps those who act this way have themselves  been wronged in their past. Do unto others as you would have them do to you is sound advice which the majority of us no doubt follow. It is sad that some just don’t see it!

Double quick time

Posted by Shirley Anne on September 23, 2010

My plan today was to do the two jobs I had before returning home later in the day. I left the house around 8.45 and was back home at 11.15 despite the second job being 14 miles away! I know I am quick, people tell me that too but sometimes I excel even my own expectations. So I have the whole day to myself. As I write this it is almost 1 o’clock. Already I have spent an hour on my guitar and had a bite to eat. Now I am thinking of what to do next.

I don’t know what it is about me but I am usually quick when doing anything. I rush through things, without cutting corners I have to say, because I want to see them finished. Some people take their time but I am not one of them. When I tackle a job I can already see it completed in my mind’s eye. When problems get in the way it annoys me but I expect them to appear. Very rarely do I find a task without any problems whatsoever. Having worked continuously for more than 48 years, except for breaks (lol), I pretty much know what to expect when tackling a job, that also means jobs outside of my vocational occupation as an electrician. You and I would call it ‘experience’. I wonder why some people do things contrary to what I would call ‘common sense‘ but then I realise that they simply lack the experience in life, just like I once did. Academics are sometimes very clever people, of course not all of them are. They might be very intellectual and have great knowledge about things but many of them don’t know how to knock a nail in wood, to coin a phrase. It has nothing to do with their knowledge, it is simply a lack of experience. There are many things I cannot do and some things I can do but which take time to complete because of my lack of experience. Everything else I do I seem to do in double-quick time! It’s a little silly though sometimes because it can lead me to over-working myself or sitting around bored stiff! I realise that I should pace myself and get into a slower gear but hey, that’s who I am. At the very least I am motivated, once I start of course!

Unnoticed

Posted by Shirley Anne on September 2, 2010

Some months ago I spoke about the out-of-the-way places around my town, places most people don’t visit, probably because they don’t know they are there. Today I had been working hard in my garden and had to change my clothes. I put them in the washing machine together with other clothes and set it running. There is a chair in the laundry room and I sat on it for a few minutes, mainly because I wanted a little rest. I watched the machine start its cycle, fill with water and begin the wash. Now you may not realise this but clothes soak up water so the machine has to allow more water in until the correct level is reached. This is quite normal but what I noticed was that the timer reset itself too. Initially it showed 1:21 and during the fill cycle it dropped to 1:19. When the water level had been reached however the timer reset to 1:21. I had never noticed this before even though I use the machine often. At first I wondered what was going on but then realised that if the water pressure was very low it could take quite some time to fill the machine with the consequence that the wash cycle would be reduced. That is why the machine resets the timer once the water level is reached. Now I am not writing this to educate my readers but no doubt that has been done. What I wanted to say was that there are probably many things like this which happen right under our eyes but we don’t really notice. I will ask a question of you here to prove my point. Assuming you have wallpaper on at least one wall at home, could you describe what it looks like without going to see it? You may be surprised to know that you can’t, at least accurately. This is why the police have difficulty with witnesses who cannot remember exactly what they actually saw. It seems we only take in essential information in any situation. I just asked E if she could describe one of the pictures on the wall in the room we are both sitting in at this moment and she had difficulty in describing it accurately even though it has hung there for many years. We have a picture of the two boys together when they were quite young and she described that one without any difficulty at all. It proves a point I think. Things that are not really relevant to our situation at any given time are usually not noticed at all.

Isn’t Nature wonderful?

Posted by Shirley Anne on August 7, 2010

It has only been about six weeks since we had one of our garden walls re-pointed and already I see a little plant trying to grow on it! Our driveway, for the moment, is somewhat of a ‘patchwork quilt’ of joined-up sections until we can at some point in the future get it asphalted. In between the cracks there is a constant battle going on with my spade and the weeds that grow there. Oh yes, I can put weed killer down and I do but it seems to make little difference. I may get a few weeks grace but the weeds ill return. I just have to keep on top of things. Have you noticed how short a period of time it takes for Nature to take over derelict buildings? The inside is soon covered in cobwebs and cracks start to appear in the plaster work. Timbers begin to rot away with dry rot or wet rot if it is damp, roof tiles get blown off and soon the rain begins to pour in. Outside the paint has worn away and the window frames fall apart. Soon there is nothing left to hold the glass and that too falls to the ground. Given enough time Nature will reclaim what is rightfully hers. To keep anything the way we want it we have to steadily maintain it, a stitch in time as it were. Very little that is man-made will survive through generations. Eventually all will return to dust, just as we will! Is that the end then? Here for a brief time and then gone forever with nothing to look forward to? Whilst we are here we need to keep our house in order, we have to stop the rot inside of us, maintaining just the outside isn’t enough. Nature will take back what is hers and God will take back what is His but He only wants the untarnished and the clean bits. Who would you rather return to? Is your house clean, tidy and inviting for Him or are you just going to allow Nature to take you back because she doesn’t care what condition you are in?

Seasons

Posted by Shirley Anne on March 26, 2010

So now it is Spring! When I was young I remember travelling down by steam train to Edgebaston, Birmingham to visit my grandmother with my mother. It was late November, just after my birthday (21 Nov) and the snow was quite deep everywhere. Yes, November. In later years I noticed the snow didn’t arrive until December but there was nearly always snow at Christmas. Later again it gradually stopped snowing at Christmas and we only saw snow in January and February and in some places March too, early March that is. Over the last few years, where I live at least, we have had very little snow over the whole of Winter. Winter is slowly getting milder but so is Summer. I have winter coats that I hardly ever wear now. It may be the effect of global warming, whether that is a natural cycle or aided by mankind. In years to come we might see a reversal. Astronomically speaking of course there is a gradual shift of the seasons caused by what is known as the ‘Precession of the Equinoxes’. We know the equinoxes fall on or around 21 March (Spring) and 23 September (Autumn). Although the precession (or gradual shifting) of the equinoxes is forward, that is they are happening later in the year, the drift is extremely slow and will take many thousands of years before they become appreciably noticeable. We also have a ‘wobbling’ Earth, like a spinning top that is beginning to slow down and this has the effect on the Earth’s axial tilt. At present the axis is orientated so that the north is almost exactly pointed to Polaris, the ‘Pole Star’. In many years to come it will be pointing elsewhere and this will have an effect on the seasons. Although these changes are happening, along with others, we have no need to worry because the changes are extremely slow. Without the seasons life on Earth would be very different from what it is now and possibly human life would be in danger of extinction, if we ever reach that point. So don’t complain because the weather is cold or wet and isn’t dry and sunny all the time, we need the seasonal changes.

How lovely.

Posted by Shirley Anne on December 7, 2009

I had a difficult day at work today, it wasn’t so much the technical side, in fact that part was easy but the implementation was the hard bit. One or two minor problems took an age to solve and really tested my patience. I often get problems at work, who doesn’t? It is often the little things that annoy and take up the time. When I got home my ex. confronted me with a problem she’s been dealing with. She is incapacitated and cannot work at the moment but she’d had an assessment recently by an NHS doctor who, in his opinion says she is able to work and that her support has been withdrawn as a result of his report. The thing is, she isn’t swinging the lead as it were and her own doctor agrees so she was asking me for advice in how to write a letter of complaint. She would dearly like to resume work but unfortunately at this time she is unfit, I should know, I have to run around after her at home! I know the NHS has to weed out the idlers but come on, when one’s own doctor says she is unfit they should take notice. I have every confidence that something can be agreed, she’ll just need to be patient. So I grabbed something to eat and went into the rear lounge to relax and play some guitar. I’d just sat down and was halfway through a song when I glanced out of the window. There before me was the most wonderful rainbow I had ever seen. A complete arc from west to east and high in the sky. It was bright enough to show a reflection, a mirror image of itself. I was awestruck at it’s beauty. I called to my ex. to come and look and she had to admit it was a lovely thing to see. According to Scripture, God told Noah that He would never again allow a flood to engulf the planet and He set a rainbow in the sky as a symbol of His promise. I remembered that Scripture as I gazed upon that lovely sight and felt such a peace come over me.

Global warming and all that.

Posted by Shirley Anne on November 28, 2009

I have a couple of links on my blog (look on the left under Magazines) about global warming and CO2 written by a learned scientist. They are worth reading. I have never put any faith in the current thinking about global warming and our involvement in it. The Earth has gone through many heating and cooling cycles in it’s history, many ice ages and mini ice ages too. They were happening long before mankind appeared. Nature did this all by herself and without the aid of mankind. We may be responsible in contributing to the current rise in world temperature but if you read the articles in the links you mat be surprised to learn that CO2 is unlikely to be involved. Why? Because CO2 is quite a rare gas and according to the article only represents a fraction of 1% of the gasses in the atmosphere. Again, according to the article, whenever there has been an increase in temperature in the past the level of CO2 has been at a minimum and when there has been a reduction in temperatures CO2 has been at a maximum. Strange? It makes me wonder if all the talk about carbon footprints is a load of hogwash and then I think to myself, ‘Why are we paying the penalty’?
One other thing we are told is that we must recycle materials to ‘save the planet’. Sounds good to me but in fact we are only saving the use of new materials and not energy which is what all the fuss is about. Energy is used in the manufacturing of materials into usable things but when we recycle just as much, if not more energy is used to effect the recycle. That’s before the recycled material is transformed into another usable article. Where is the energy being saved? I am confused and not convinced about global warming and all that.
