The End..

 

There is a one in 500 chance there is a global catastrophe on the horizon which will spell the end of humanity, according to a leading statistician.

University of Barcelona mathematician Fergus Simpson says that as the population continues to increase, the chance of humanity being wiped out increases. The theory of the Doomsday Argument states that as humans are born in the random order, one person is born roughly in the middle.

We pay attention to bad news, because on the whole, we think the world is rosier than it actually is. When it comes to our own lives, most of us believe we're better than average, and that, like the clichés, we expect things to be all right in the end. This pleasant view of the world makes bad news all the more surprising and salient. It is only against a light background that the dark spots are highlighted.

The News Media all focused on the transition team for Trump. I'm not delighted with it and I don't believe it. Accordingly, the end of the world will be January 20th.

Bomb first??

 

Rights groups and U.N. officials say the U.S.-backed coalition has often either deliberately or recklessly depended on faulty intelligence, failed to distinguish between civilian and military targets and disregarded the likelihood of civilian casualties.

Nearly 4,000 civilians have been killed in the war, and an estimated 60 percent of them died in airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition, the U.N. says.

The war has devastated the country of 26 million, causing widespread hunger and driving 3 million from their homes.  Warplanes have hit medical centers, schools, factories, infrastructure and roads, markets, weddings and residential compounds.

The coalition says it does its utmost to avoid civilian casualties and notes rebels often operate among civilians. Rights groups and U.N. officials have reported probable war crimes by the Houthis, including shelling civilian areas and basing their fighters in schools and other civilian locations.

The coalition has made nine investigations public. In two it acknowledged mistakes and said it would pay compensation to victims. In most of the other cases, it said the strikes were against a justified military target.

Is there a positive outcome to this conflict in Yemen?

Gwen Ifill

Gwen Ifill, one of the most prominent political journalists in the country, has died, according to PBS. She was 61.
When she took the helm of Washington Week in Review in 1999, Ifill became the first African-American woman to host a major political TV talk show........  Just a thought.

New Era...

Iran's two top leaders, president and supreme leader, sought to calm concerns over the future of Tehran's nuclear deal in the wake of Donald Trump's election. President said the country will remain committed and loyal to the deal, regardless of the outcome of the U.S. election.

Supreme Leader said Iran was indifferent to the result of the U.S. vote, insisting the Iranian nation was "not worried" about the future and was ready for any fallout from the U.S. election.

Trump's much publicized criticism of the nuclear deal and his campaign vows to renegotiate the terms and increase enforcement of the deal that put off the threat of Tehran developing atomic weapons has sent jitters across Iran.

"We neither mourn nor cheer because it makes no difference to us. We do not have any judgment on the election," Khamenei said. "We are also not worried."

"The Unites States is the same country and over the past 37 years any of the U.S. major parties that came to power brought us no good, while their evil was always directed toward the Iranian nation," Khamenei added.        It's all good.  Just a thought.

“A very small percentage of the people in this world will actually experience and live today. So many will be stuck on another day, another time that traumatized them and caused them to spiritually stutter so they miss out on this day.”

“We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, and you are not your struggles.    You are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.”  

“People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one.

Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.”       [Steve Maraboli.......]
