Dear Mr Gahr Støre, Prime Minister of Norway, 1815 BST 28sept2024
I am writing to you because I am deeply concerned about your plans for deep sea mining in Norwegian Arctic waters...........
October(5) contains "RFI Radio and Genetics"
We must care for others more, listen more....... and thoughtfully MODIFY what we do, for GREED is so much the Capitalist view, unfortunately for MOST of the 8 Billion!
When english is not that person's 1st language, you have to be Clear and Succinct, and I will not lie nor mislead, and WILL call a Spade a Spade!

16dec2025 interview at 0840GMT
TRTWorld TV news (UK Sky Satellite Ch 513):
Dr Samar McPhedron of Griffith Uni (5 campuses, South East Queensland) interviewed today after the BondiBeach Murders on 14dec2025 - JimQ listened, thought "sounds good", and then checked what her background was: for example:
https://news.griffith.edu.au/2019/04/09/tighter-gun-laws-not-the-only-reform-needed-in-new-zealand-samara-mcphedran/
Did any of those 1,000 Jews, publicly criticise Netanyahu's Govt? Should have helped if in quantity. I presume Gaza Genocide supporters NOT welcome in Aus.
This morning at 0840 GMT on TRTWorld, she said (JimQ words) that politicians jump TOO rapidly, TOO soon, not waiting for the results of the investigation, so without knowing the facts! They repeat OLD measures/speeches, and impossibly Expect Better Results.
Thus her 2019 thoughts above, seem to be repeated, for she says the politicians are NOT Long Term Improvement people, which she is trying to be...... Seems like she has regularly been ignored too...... We are both of Minorities -
in UK I am one of about 170,000 CEng, excluded from Govt it seems! Majorities ignore minorities very very often, unless they shoot somebody!!, but WE are not like that at all, for we like to HELP Others flourish. Even the media ignore us Engineers, and like you Samara McPhedran, we deeply investigate for future safety, and that takes time, while the Media want an IMMEDIATE Response, to HIT the politician?? Or what?
I am reminded that politicians are elected by a population, half of whom are below average intelligence, so their "appeal" is moderated thereby....... and they panic public relations too (PR - partial truths...... even to hit the Opposition), for THEY MUST BE ELECTED NEXT TIME!!

15dec2025 ITV News at 1900 GMT
updated 16dec2025 at 0536 GMT, from para (5b)
On ITV News just now I saw newby MI6 Ms Metreweli on part of her speech, and now I find also https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/mi6-chief-tech-giants-world-politicians-4110147? for me to explore further.
1) Two people in a boxing ring - one hits the other with verbal and financial abuse, while the other just stands and takes that, as well as many physical punches.
Is that real, or daft? The quiet person would naturally start to hit back, after consideration. Thus Mr Putin's reactions......., but they are not YET so big HEAVY HITS as Yours Ms Metreweli and Cohorts.
2) The Aluminum Wars resulted in huge appropriation of Russian Mineral Resources by Gangs with some support from Western Banks, when Mr Gorbachev had already been Honest and Open with his Country's problems, expressing hope (I suggest) for leniency to any outspill of those problems, where the Overwhelming Top Down Structure needed major Downward Delegation.... starting then. Thus the Gangs actions started them doubting the Integrity of the West - Burglary, while they were Down and Vulnerable.
3) 1994 and the McCarthyist Cheney-Clinton push for NATO to expand eastwards, while the Russians were Down and Vulnerable (Reminder), cemented those Doubts about the West's Integrity, and their often policy reversals/flipflops. How far east was NATO going? "to Moscow?" some Russians wondered.
4) The Russian Invasion of Crimea in 2014 resulted in a CutOff of all comms with The Russian Federation (so they were never allowed to explain/discuss? I never heard), and Big Sanctions were imposed on them. Ever thought that that would Amplify his Demand that NATO BACKOFF ?, before February 2022 with Mr USA Macron warlike, and resolutely NOT giving an inch at that LONG table in Moscow, so CAUSING that Threatened (but not necessary if Mr USA Macron Listened and Adjusted) Invasion, stupid.
5) The depth of those Sanctions, seems to have affected innocent Citizens too, but do YOU know how big they are?
5a) Euroclear Bank, the central securities depository based in Belgium, holds frozen Russian assets variously estimated at $137 billion, $197 billion, and $208 billion. Euroclear generated $3.28 billion in profits from these assets in the first nine months of 2023. The idea is to force Russia to foot the bill for Ukraine’s USA-EU weapons. JimQ thinks: THIS IS THEFT.
5b) In the four quarters to the end of Q2 2025 (the 12 months to June 2025), the total trade volume (exports+imports) between the UK and China was $138 billion. About $20 billion with South Korea. $63 billion with India. $443 billion with USA.
If you only count Exports, UK to China $42bn, to South Korea $20bn, to India $23bn, to USA $273bn, to Deutschland $82bn, to France $63bn.
The UK generally runs a trade deficit (imports exceeding exports), as seen in 2024 with a £25 billion deficit, partly offset by a strong services surplus. It would take Uk 7 years of deficit to "lose" $175bn (5a average).
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/estimating-the-impact-of-sanctions-on-russias-war-efforts/estimating-the-impact-of-sanctions-on-russias-war-efforts says sanctions have deprived the Russian state of at least $450 billion in three years to February2025.
JimQ says: Are you getting there (financially innocent) newby Ms Metreweli? Those sanctions are REALLY HUGE.
6) Now you're getting the point of Russian Federation (if it is them) RETALIATION? While the little-lady Ms Metreweli complains about...... a few non-lethal activities around Europe. It is a bit like The Police hovering around a Protest....... both sides watch each other, endlessly, between "peace and war" she said. JimQ: Yup, for decades, what's new? RAF English Electric Lightning's -- with -- Russian Bear aircraft over Norwegian Sea, monitoring both ways, since the 1960's! RAF Tornado here:
6a) For example, ships in International waters merely carrying out exploration of legitimate sorts, GPS activity delaying Ms von der Leyen into Bulgaria, drone activity of several airports in Europe, hacking of JLR car industry purchasing systems, drones near Mr Zelenskyy visit to Eire..... ALL of these are ONLY Minor Retaliation to the HUGE ATTACKS YOU SUPPORT Ms Metreweli!! - just wait, for OLD Mr Putin with Long Responsible Experience AT THE HELM, is Watching Your Hysteria Ms Metreweli......
7) Ms Metreweli has long been in the "spy business" we are told - perhaps she should have got into Other Hardware-Like Businesses than Speeches (hypochondriac anticipations of Attack, hallucinations, not Actual) which only FUEL WARLIKE aggressive political behaviour, to cause Spend on Weapons instead of Birthday Cards, Tea and Cake.
She should learn the Opposite of Permanent Suspicion of Others, for WE Collaborate with each other to make a profit!! It is called Trust THROUGH EXPERIENCE, that You will pay your bill for example, or that I will not sabotage the Business, or......! Ever hear of International Trade Working the same trusting way?
Ms Metreweli would have us be VERY SELFISH, not share a thing, and Attack each other in the way she PUSHES her political cohorts, who have done BIG TIME SANCTIONS on The Russian Federation - Citizens too, through their Central Bank!
8) Ms Metreweli is carrying the Aggression of PMQ's at noon on Wednesday's in Westminster's House of Commons, on to International Relationships.
In Westminster, Shouts are met with Shouts for they have no GUNS to suppress the Other, but Mr Putin has - AND has only threatened retaliation by close-up eye-ball glaring at the STRIDENT west of Europe, which seems to have sponsored a Harsher and Lower Welfare Budget in Westminster's Treasury...... what do you think now Ms young Metreweli.....? Mr Putin is Evidently Nowhere near as Aggressive as YOU!!
9) WHY ARE YOU SO AGAINST The Russian Federation Ms Metreweli? given my Boxing-Ring explanation, and YOUR VERY AGGRESSIVE HITS from "I AM ALWAYS RIGHT and NEVER DO WRONG" double-standard thoughts! What was Crimea all about Ms Metreweli?, but your predecessors never asked?..... and did you know that Kiev CUTOFF all water supply to Crimea then - on those they previously called "their own people?" Not so A. Many Ethnic Russians there.
10) Iran too, young Ms Metreweli - DID YOU do this THINK yourself years ago?: https://jim-quinn.blogspot.com/2025/09/research-is-interesting-but-not.html
Nothing Wrong at all with Iran's Investigations A, thankyou!!
JimQ
PS Mr Musk bothers me too - why is he allowed to Flood the sky with his very many spacecraft, which cause problem glints for astronomers, and Everybody else's spacecraft that have to FLY THROUGH them to get up there - with potential impacts and huge numbers of debris particles generating even more impact damages, and more debris, infinitum...... to geostationary or mid altitude orbit, or to leave the Earth entirely for Moon, Mars, Europa etc..... spacecraft can be "functionally lost" through such damage, some far more expensive than Mr Musk's little jobs....
15dec2025 early morning
The NATO/West's Politicians would do better Internationally, instead of bringing their harsh (generally INVALID) judgements, if they observed these "rules"::::::
https://www.stroudnewsandjournal.co.uk/news/25692780.dreading-christmas-family-rows-avoid/?
Financial Times : Russia is ‘exporting chaos’, new head of Britain’s spy agency MI6 warns Blaise Metreweli is 48 years old, a 1997 boat race winner for Cambridge against Oxford Uni, and with a 1998 BA in Anthropology NOT AT ALL QUALIFIED FOR THAT TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING MI6 position, just another Govt Crony!!
The UK Govt is Fascist, in support of Fascist Israel, not at all stopping the Genocide/Starvation in Palestine, and She just follows their ugly apartheid line WITHOUT COMMENT, other than the usual "divert your attention" Govt Crony ATTACK on The Russian Federation all day and every day - not at all to STOP Killing....... anywhere!!
- yup, in retaliation to YOUR NATO AGGRESSION since 1994's unjustified and flipflop changeling McCarthyist Driven moves eastwards (destination to over run Moscow some thought)!! Continuing TODAY here: YOU have to LISTEN, THINK, ADJUST, not just Publish this sort of SHOUT, Idiot Youngster, still to GROWUP!!
Check Mr Yeltsin's philosphy - driving toward democracy, so his December 1994 retaliation speech was " The Cold War is over, BUT NOW you lot drive for a Cold Peace" - in other words, NATO still attacking STALINISM (who died 1953, over 40 years earlier, but NOT FORGOTTEN by the USA-NATO West Idiots) and NOT updated at all!!!
I asked Govt for an HS2 Rethink 3 or 4 years ago, since there were Billions yet to spend.......
I suggest that 200mph north of Birmingham in "open" countryside more logical, and that be the southern terminus of HS2, NOT London (which I think is the WRONG Capital of England!! Which also is My position over IMechE HQ location - it should be in the Midlands!! London is way too expensive to live, so commutes to work are LONG and TIRING, losing most of a persons productivity every day!!).
Andrew Skinner would be My Rail Engineer Leader to TeamDetermine Overall Strategy/That!
JimQ
My Qualifications are good SHOWING both Long Technical Leadership and Human Experience, such that I KNOW what IDIOTS many many in Govt ARE.
See https://jim-quinn0.blogspot.com/ for what those Quali's mean:
JimQ BSc CEng FIMechE CPD - Deep Technical Pilot Oriented Imagination, long experience at Strategy level in Industry (Aerospace), innovative humanity-engineering designer, with CPD several times a year Still, at 82 years old - human fatigue my latest on 11dec2025 (Continuous Professional Development, CPD). And entirely innocent of any misdemeanor, with an Enhanced DBS, Officially allowing me to work with ANYONE vulnerable!!
Blaise Metreweli BA (Anthropology, but not Arabic? - just picking it up locally?).
That is it (except for an irrelevant UK Govt Crony award of CMG).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Metreweli#:~:text=In%20June%202025%2C%20Metreweli%20was,office%20on%201%20October%202025. As usual for Civil Servants, CMG awarded for long experience, but was she actually good, or just a bully boss? What Qualificatiions did She Achieve Professionally - none apparently! I am NOT impressed by Her Record in "intelligence", for so many are like Netanyahu, merely presumptive aggressive!
Technical Putin "not quite" the Middle East....... would she understand such innovation, to modify her intelligence? Hostile States - Only because of NATO's Screeeeeeeeeeching at all and sundry!

Cliff Richard, Pushing for more prostate checks, because he was found with treatable Prostate Cancer, and says everyone should have a test!
Problem is the PSA blood-test is Not reliable - ask an internet search "what is the probabilty of a PSA test being accurate?", and you will find Big Numbers of Incorrect Identification either way.
I suffered a slow or intermittent flow of urine which caused me to ask the MD what to do. I had an MRI check, and they found an enlarged prostate, treatable by Finasteride 5mg tablets daily, but the Consultant went on to a Biopsy, WITHOUT WARNING ME OF THE PROBLEMS IT WOULD CAUSE - I was thus Badly damaged - I cannot ejaculate at all now, which I have found was Previously so very Enjoyable!!
And the amount of blood inside me during/from that "many needle jabs through my anus" biopsy, made it very urgent I went to the lavatory half way through, quckly finish now please nurse - and the lavatory bowl became very blood-red (through my penis) as a result!!
But my urine flow quickly-up-to-speed as a result of the Finasteride - which is all I needed!!
The biopsy showed there was no cancer, but I would have refused the biopsy if I had been Properly Informed, for I have never had a fear of cancer, only the treatment. Neither my Dad nor my Aunt accepted Treatment for their condition, and eventually died (but they could have had an accident or some other illness which kills first! Better to be happy to the end, surely) - without losing hair, nor dignity, nor suffering the nasty effects of chemo and/or Xray treatment - affecting or Stopping what you enjoy!!
Having many tea and cake party's or more travels somewhere lovely long before or even late toward the end, far more interesting to me than feeling sick or depressed because of the treatment, even if it might extend my life a little (I already have 82 years under my belt, so a year is only 1.2% more) - FUN NEEDED all the time please!!

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-critical-minerals-strategy/vision-2035-critical-minerals-strategy
What should our Mining Strategy be for the year 3,000? Recycling of steel has been going on for more than a hundred years, but EV batteries? Not even started at the 1,000,000 a year level, like steel has long been easily - and to what extent can such EV batteries be recycled anyway? A VERY Difficult prediction STILL, while we know steel incredibly well. So:
The Govt SHOULD also ATTEND the April 2026 Seminar at
https://eventsportal.imeche.org/event/sessions?id=Engineering_a_Hydrogen_Economy_20263407586708
and use steel piston engines accordingly, as in JCB: 5 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fWmQgXcdqA and 35 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxtxZY45RMM
No reason JCB's logic cannot be used in a Ford Fiesta size car/engine, making car park spaces in towns smaller again, having grown to accomodate the bigger EV cars (necessary for Industry to make an EV profitable, which is why Ford dropped the Fiesta for it was too small)!!
Compete with Toyota, for British Exports!! The hydrogen Toyota rally car is the GR Yaris Rally2 H2 Concept, which uses a modified 1.6-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine from the production GR Yaris, adapted to burn compressed hydrogen. Hydrogen combusts at a faster rate than petrol, offering good engine responsiveness. The goal is to provide a "fun-to-drive" experience with the familiar mechanical and aural feedback that spectators enjoy in traditional rallying. It first debuted in Europe at Ypres Rally Belgium in 2022 and was later demonstrated at Rally Finland. It is not yet entered in competition.
Do not just give in as British Govt did over sponsoring Competiton with Microsoft Windows - who have almost no competition at all from British Software Businesses, so we spend precious money on IMPORTS (and progressively poorer (but you must buy for this is NEW and Exciting, sales pitch!!) to rubbish Windows versions after XP), and gain nothing from Exports - for WE HAVE NONE, at British Govt's DEAF-BLIND non-thought lack of Supporting Investment!!
The Treasury should be good at identifying opportunity - what does Britain Import and Not Export - thus to THEN stimulate .... "somebody" to do something extra - like advertise the Opportunity in the IMechE or IET or BCS or ICE..... newsletters!
Britain also has a VERY POOR Sales Force in almost everything..... Why was Tornado not Exported far more? A very effective aircraft system, Red Flag Winner of USA SAC Competition (against several NATO Nations airforces) more than once, and considered better than anything in the 1991 Gulf War in the Most Dangerous job of the Many Nation Fleet......, so UK have had 34 years since to DO SO!! And better than the USA's F35 IMPORT, SOLD SO WELL (note, gullible UK Govt!)..... Tornado Pilot Survivability from enemy targeting, much better too!!
I HAD TO FORCE THE UK TREASURY to even begin to think about Exporting the RR SMR (by SWEARING AT THEM to "Screw The Bastards" at GBN!!), and hence they eventually DID, and thus STOPPED the Quango from potentially choosing a USA product to IMPORT (at our huge expense, and no doubt with hidden USA Govt pressure - for Mr Trumps Industry Benefit)!! And Brain Drain RR SMR's Good Engineers to overseas companies. MAD idiots in UK Govt!!!
Similarly with HS2 Ltd's "No Top Engineers" Policy and no Engineering evaluation at Vee Stage 2 - no HS2 Ltd Engineering logic at all after the 2008 white paper, hence long expensive tunnels because of too high a chosen speed needing a straight route with few curved turns around hills - "spend spend spend", for the Govt has plenty.......!! And tunneling into Euston a total waste of money for the London Underground network was already connected miles earlier - "nobody" gets off the train at Euston and does NOT use the Underground......
The Rail Industry Engineers wanted Capacity more than speed, but they were ignored, for the Govt wanted GLAMOUR!! HS2 spend should have been stopped 3 or 4 years ago as I requested (saving BILLIONS yet to come), and the whole idea reconsidered - not just CHOP the Route North of Birmingham.
My preference for CAPACITY (and still the good 90mph current average speed north of London) would be to drive an extra line north and another south - right alongside the CURRENT rail lines to Birmingham, with NO Curzon Street to complete, and the Euston tunneling would not have been even started - the embankment needs a bit of widening to take those extra lines, but can you otherwise think of a Low Price, cost-effective 90mph doubled capacity route north/southwards - problems include bridge rebuilds (ICE) along that route, signalling systems (IRSE), effective train capacities, etc .... Andrew Skinner would be My Rail Engineer Leader to TeamDetermine Overall Strategy/That!
The total time for anybody's journey is "travel to Euston and travel from Birmingham New Street (or Curzon street) station" plus the time in between - so that a journey time is not much improved by speeding up the link between the cities, is it!! Calculate it yourselves...... But the Govt makes speed sound worthwhile, by only quoting the time Between the cities main stations!!!

President Lukashenko is a good President of Belarus thankyou, EU. Releasing 123 prisoners is a sign of recognising the current World situation! Talking to others helps, see.
And the EU Hierarchy as evidenced in their news releases, is NOT!!
Examine who met with Mr Zelenskyy recently - the loud mouths in the west of Europe, not those close to Russia and Ukraine, that is Mr Tusk, Mr Orban, and Mr Bolojan too, who SHOULD be thinking locally a bit more, and OVERWHELM that little western bit - I hope so, FOR THEIR SAKE.
Have you REALLY considered the effects of Sanctions USA/EU/UK? Such huge retribution for LITTLE things - 20% of World Potash comes from Belarus, but the sanctions resulted in HALVING those Exports, to about 10% of World supply, and obviously affected their economy too. So, you hit 'em, but yourselves too by presumably raising the market adjusted price/availability of Potash. And for what?
One minute action for you SO PERFECT (snotty!) PEOPLE who lead their Populations VERY BADLY, just to penalise somebody WITHOUT TALKING TO THEM to understand or persuade (both ways!! you western idiots MUST learn you are not so bright after all!)!!! The usual western SNEEEEEEER with double standard sanctions so very often! Backstabbers they, hoping their public do not notice - to get away with it......

Nobody has properly PERSUADED THE KIDS, its hidden in Parliamentary and boring herd chat!! That is, talking to YOUR Friends does NOT look at what is happening in the Wolrd - from Climate Change to Sudan's war and starving, Yemen Poverty, Israeli Murders, UN non-realism, Sustainability, Domestic Science, hydroegn fuelled steel piston engines easily recycled, instead of "almost non-recyclable" EV's,......
Remember Fidel Castro - if you did not agree, he convicted you for protesting (or murder you) - I never saw a PERSUASION of the Public other than such FORCE!! Just so the Aussie ban.......??

Australia bans social media for all under 16's - HOORAY!! Me too, for I do not use any of them - just email to many. Plus telephone to a few known persons.
How long for UK, EU, USA to do the same??
President Putin has implemented extensive measures that have significantly reduced and restricted the use of foreign social media platforms in Russia, particularly since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This is part of a broader effort to bring the internet under Kremlin control and create a "sovereign internet".
Good for them! Invest in your own businesses A.

10pm Sky TV News says : Yuri Ushakov says "no progress on Russia-USA team discussions".
So, the EU-Starmer idiots did it again - total waste of a meeting (today), because they refuse to listen!!!
They IMPOSE their own deaf-blind wants onto Mr Trump's plan, deleting everything they knew Mr Putin wanted and with NO thought for the need to negotiate.
Hence Mr Putin is right - the EU-Starmer actually do not want the war to end, for there was NO thought for today's need to GIVE WAY on at least something!
The EU-Starmer are burying their heads in the sand.... TRUMPETING THEY ARE RIGHT (at the USA team in Florida a few days ago), NOT LISTENING AT ALL to Mr Putin, and thus totally wasting that meeting in Moscow today - who is going to become the ANGRIEST?

“This often means that women must make the choice to stay with an abuser or leave and navigate homelessness,” the report notes.

Two years of Palestinian Holocaust and STILL you just gasgasgas...... the herd instinct.
Democracy as YOU practice it, Murders Minorities..... You appeal to, and are elected by, a population in which HALF are BELOW average intelligence, and you DO NOT ASK for Solutions of those better than you. Elections give you power, but NOT ability!!
Much earlier:
von der Leyen shouting her mouth off again - this is my LAST try at promoting peace in Ukraine, with NO MORE Weapons Expenditure. It should have reached Mr Tusk's Office about now: LISTEN, THINK and TALK with Mr Putin, NOT aggressively! Please!!
Thoughtfully MODIFY what you think/do through UNDERSTANDING others 1st.

The Jews lawmaker, Moses, said: do not kill, do not steal, do not BEAR FALSE WITNESS - hence the Israeli Govt are Fascists, NOT Jewish! DENY their SobStory claim that criticising them is anti-semitism - it is THEIR False Witness!

Intro: average 2 aircraft crashes a year in NEPAL recently. Their "CAA" needs to split off the Safety side (10%) from the business side (90%) !!!
"Western" travellers to the Everest Climbing Region, will not know about the lack of safety, and they will assume "western" safety RULES - but they do NOT EXIST IN NEPAL!! and Western media does not tell us!!!
The most dangerous airport in the world - Tenzing-Hillary Airport, MPQJ+6H8, 30 Lukla - Everest Base Camp Trekking Route, Chaurikharka 56000, Nepal
So - watch Nepal's CAA info! Search their "CAA" Civil Aviatiion Authority and Govt websites for signs of progress - if any - for Parliament is suspended, but where complaints have been raised, but progress stalled !!

TRT World TV News (Sky satellite ch 513) just now reports on the effect of Russian strikes on Ukraine-side buiildings and people, but NEVER on the effects of Ukriane strikes on Russian-side buildings and people.
SO we are NOT being given balanced reporting!
Maybe more difficult to obtain info from the Russian-side..... SO SAY SO PLEASE!!

HS2 went badly wrong with huge overspend thru' NOT doing enough Engineering thinking and estimating at Vee Stage 2 - where is Vee Stage 2 Engineering evidence here...... £49bn therefore a nonsense estimate?, like Gordon Brown's £10bn for HS2 to Birmingham!
Todays i Paper front page says : "M25 chaos the price for new £49bn Heathrow runway" - see page 4.
The Heathrow cost will be paid by Heathrow airport, so the price of the new road/Mway mods to allow double the number of passengers (to 150million) access to Heathrow is that £49bn? not clear from page 4.....
If the runway was 3 miles long =3 x 5760ft = 17280 ft,
that £49bn = £2.8 million per foot................
OR:
£49bn / 150m = £32.66 EACH FLIGHT per 10 years of passengers.
Sorry, VERY unclear what Govt are doing!!

| Dear Jim, I just wanted to quickly remind you that our upcoming webinar on WFP’s emergency operations in Sudan is taking place today at 11:00 AM (CET). Event: Sudan’s Fight Against Hunger - Progress and Challenges Date: Monday, 24 November 2025 Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM (CET). Our guest speakers from WFP's Sudan Country Office – Anna Trolle-Lindgren (Head of Partnerships and Reporting) and Leni Kinzli (Head of Communications) – will share their unique insights on the current conflicts, limited access, and growing needs in Sudan, showcasing the ways in which WFP has been able to scale up its life-saving food assistance, making the difference between starvation and recovery.

It can be tempting to use a public port to charge your phone when your battery is dying and you need it to work, but you could be putting yourself in a vulnerable position. The UAE Cyber Security Council has called for vigilance and selectiveness when using a charging port. It said 79 percent of travellers unknowingly expose their personal data to danger when they use unsecured public stations. Some ports hide malware and may be able to hijack your personal data including passwords and images, by exploiting media transfer protocols that activate automatically when devices are connected. The council told WAM that 68 per cent of firms have been targeted because of such ports. These connections have resulted in data breaches and loss of digital infrastructure.

Just to expand a little - remember the Aid Flotilla going to Gaza? Israel attacked it in International Waters, and captured many. A Democracy that attacks freedom loving protesters.....
So the VERY close monitoring of that Russian ship in International Waters also, merely shone lasers to repulse YOUR Potential attack. An attack by Arrogant "we are always right" Democracy.....
If you were calm and far away, they would not have been deployed....... Look in a mirror, and growl at 20cm distance! One metre distance would be OK?
And YOUR aggressive DISRUPTIVE sneeeeeering language, starting with Clinton's 1994 NATO attack eastwards, and NATO's very close to Russia military exercises in the NEW 2004 recruited Estonia and Latvia, is what forced the Ukraine invasion too - a pre-empt because of YOUR NATO aggression I think!
To CONTAIN YOUR aggression, and TELL YOU to back-off a bigger conflict!! - did Mr Macron ever backoff at his end of that very long Moscow table in 2021/2? NO, so Mr Putin did as he said he would to NATO's Mr Macron, FOR NATO DID NOT BACKOFF! NATO is headed by "about turn" changeling politicians, as in USA Presidents at least!!
OK?
Ukraine was not in NATO, so NATO's aim was above them - to The Russian Federation ...... It is NATO's aggressive politicians that are the problem....... hence why Ukraine's and EU's politicians are side-lined!
And remember that the Soviet people moved around in just the same way as the EU's people move around the EU - so Ethnic Russians, WHO DO NOT WANT KIEV GOVT, live in S.E.Ukraine, and would prefer to be Russian than Ukrainian!! The Donbas War for example. The border/frontier between Ukraine and Russia needs to be re-drawn accordingly. People matter, not land - but land is what Mr Zelenskyy seems to prefer!
I "repeat" my statement above: We must care for others more, listen more....... and thoughtfully MODIFY what we do, for GREED is so much the NATO view, unfortunately for MOST of the 8 Billion!
That last gold bar could sink your dinghy!

And huge reparations against Germany alone, yet all these nations were at fault!

NATIONAL Pique in Six Nations!, full stop (over ONE MAN - who merely shot one bigwig!).
As in Ukraine's "Rights for Land" PRIDE, against Ethnic Russians today - use money to rebuild, not for more explosions STUPID.
---------
One further thought - any increase in the Defence Budget Should mean that the Govt Prime Minister and all the other Ministers in Govt, will be auto-recruited into the Army, to PRACTICE what they Preach.
They WILL March and Learn to Fight, with and without weapons, for two years as was normal conscription before 1960 - no matter how old they are, albeit their backpack mass may be reduced because of their age!!
I note that none of them in either WW1 or WW2 actually Fought, merely ORDERING the PEASANTS to do so!!
And thus the Welfare Budget will be increased to support both the Individual and Business to EXPORT MUCH MORE. Let us EARN money for Britain, not just waste it on explosions waiting to go off..... and eventually maybe, DO!
We do not NEED all this GROSS increase in Technology for WAR, but to help our Citizens live better - with ideas aplenty to EXPORT and EARN INCOME.

Good lecture by Dr Ian Coxhill, thankyou.
---------------
AND, for info:
I, JimQ, worked on Tornado because it was THE BIG ADVANCE in tech I wanted ON ENGINES - not war. I would have been very happy on a civil airliner, provided it was Advanced Tech and Customer based, for that was MY INTEREST, but RRDerby were not up to it, disorganised and requiring I have Latin O level, to become one of them!!
I joined BSEL in 1960, a much better organised Company, and More Advanced Tech than them - I loved the people and technology I worked with in Bristol Engines, and we jointly pulled it off from the start, with MTU and Fiat - the same Mk103 engine in Tornado for over 42 years now, and still operating in RSAF, Luftwaffe and Aeronautica Militare. The engine design, for the aircraft, was JUST RIGHT thankyou. And WE can say that for Bristol's Harrier and Concorde too, thankyou.
I do not know about Typhoon's engine, for I left in 1994....... I note that other Customers liked it, but the USA bid lower prices (wikipedia)!! - how did they KNOW to bid SO low, AFTER EJ200 had been preferred? And why did EJ200 NOT bid, or share, even better than the USA. Why do YOU let the USA get away with it?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurojet_EJ200
I note that the wikipedia says: "assumed the US would not allow aircraft using the engine to be sold to India. However, in October 2020" - this is the same tactic that the USA used on their F111 sale to UK with a big price increase....... The Skybolt Crisis another, with naive MacMillan ending Blue Steel and Blue Streak too!! AND parts of Scotland have USA submarines - from the same JFK wrangling CONN that "WE KNOW BEST"!
We NEED better Sales "Ideas and People" in Europe.
AND I CONFIRM I WANT THE UK DEFENCE BUDGET BELOW 2% OF GDP = to Force THOUGHTFUL THINKING TALK, and to STOP the continuing non-thinking big SNEEEEEERS by politicians and thus to prevent PREDICTABLE weapons attacks.
Indeed the whole Tornado Aircraft was designed to be a DETERRENT ON ITS OWN, without nukes, and I did my best to make it the best Combat Aircraft in the World - BECAUSE of the engine design, it is Stealthy, it is very Fast, and it is very Economical for long range cruise.
I did NOT work on Tornado TO MAKE WAR, but to STOP it.
So bollocks to the lot of you. Pissoff RFI! It is so corrupt I put 8.5 pages of anti-nuclear weapons into "The White Tornado" page 212 to 220, to be totally RFI replaced by MUST HAVE NUKES in "The Tornado Engine +" page 229.......... BLOODY GOVT RFI CORRUPTION.
So you will never KNOW who I am now, because I have been xxxxxxxx by the British Govt and royals, and anything I say can be the total/partial reverse of what I really logically think -
in (1) and (2) below I was not AWARE of the RFI at the TIME, but I OBVIOUSLY was for (3):
(1) on the afternoon of P02 1st flight on 30oct1974, when Roly Beamont STALKED OFF after asking me a question and NOT Waiting for an Explanation of what I did at about 8am that day!!
(2) ever since about May 1987, AFTER I had offered my Paper to the Tokyo Gas Turbine Conference..... I became very slow..... but ok IN Tokyo on 30oct1987 afternoon (with GE and Pratt lectures after me), then brain-dead again......
(3) car written-off in a big crash off the M4 late at night on 25may1992, with a very big twist-left of the steering wheel - at speed (just like Diana's driver in that Paris tunnel).............. and all many of horrors ever after.... My Family treated DISGUSTINGLY by the Govt/royal RFI, especially my wife who was forced to live in France and died there in 2009, but both "kids" too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette oh yes? What a way to treat Any Family!
THESE SHIT CAUSE WAR!! Hence, This is where the idiots spend their money:

IMPORTANT : "ICE Informs" is a Newsletter from the Institution of Civil Engineers - very worth while Interface News FOR Government - signup at
https://www.ice.org.uk/news-views-insights/policy-and-advocacy/ice-informs-sign-up
This 06nov2025 edition has several features, including : On 26 November, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves will deliver the budget.
The numbers paint a bleak picture. The budget needs to address weak economic growth, high inflation, and growing public sector debt.
It also needs to spark renewal. The government’s plans rely on an enormous amount of infrastructure investment that public finances alone can’t hope to fulfil.
Enter the National Wealth Fund (NWF), which will play a crucial role in the coming years.
Established in October 2024 as a successor to the UK Infrastructure Bank, the NWF aims to crowd in private investment to support growth in priority sectors: clean energy, digital and technologies, advanced manufacturing, and transport.
In practice, this means funding or guaranteeing riskier sectors and technologies that private investors wouldn’t otherwise consider......etc etc
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This P06 picture is My Award for Service to the Aerospace Industry: FAR more important than any little royal. Many faded signatures in the panel at the bottom
P06 was the first Tornado to display at the Farnborough Air Show (1976), and I was there in support on the Monday only, then flown up to Warton that evening, to read that day's flight magtape which came with me on the small aircraft. Notice the bottom left - RAF 617 Tornado, with RAF 55 Sqdn Victor's, won USA's SAC Red Flag in 1984, beating all other NATO airforce competitors!! And a few other famous Squadron stickers!
1988: The Russian's were there (Mig-29's display, and huge Antonov too) - needing to sell, and Mr Gorbachev went public a couple of years later, for their economy was in trouble....
My Brief CV 06nov2025 at https://jim-quinn4.blogspot.com/ plus what it means to be a Controls Design Engineer, through a Rolls Royce plc 05nov2025 advert.
I am an Engine man, not a Weapons nor Avionics man. Our Tornado Engine Controls Technology was embodied in the Boeing747-400 RRengines for example, and the latest RR Trent engines have our High Temperature Tech too. Tornado is still the stealthiest, fastest and most economical Combat Aircraft in the World - engine oriented see! And we embodied the Harrier and Concorde engines in part, and their KDF9 off-design simulation software technology into our design, from which WE showed RRDerby HOW a 3 shaft engine worked, when they kept having SL testbed surges, and we, in the whole of TurboUnion, never did.
The USA engine men never caught on to our concept, which was far more subtle than their big thrust, high fuel consumption, high IR signature concept - for the USAF love the vertical climb and noise after takeoff!
My next move would have been deeper into control systems tech..... for I am mostly an Investigator, Behaviour, and Numbers Man, with an understanding of the Human in the cockpit, whether for many passengers or the military, since the only difference is in what they Require, and how to best Solve them cost effectively.
If 1% of the British People were The Best, then it would take 150 years to be honoured by the Govt, at 2000 people a year...... Thus it should be Abolished and honours given by those with whom you work - as mine above was, and Thankyou, delighted at the time and now too.
Oxfam already does that, for our local shop support - for example, Xxx's continuous years, and Yyy's too, but never by Govt!
-------------------------------
The UK Govt will NEVER get me to help them in future without Adequate Payment, for I have given many advices, as befits my Good Intelligence and large Knowledge of the Natural World (including equations and materials) and Human Behaviour, for free, but I am IGNORED.
Thus THEY also have to ASK, or Advertise (and tell me where) for what they want!!
I will ignore them otherwise, just as Eamon de Valera (AlanRickman) said in Dublin in about 1916, to eventually DEFEAT THEM - see my favourite DVD "Michael Collins" (1976, LiamNeeson), to see what the British did to the Irish (my predecessors were in the 1846 famine I think, nastily ignored "for they wanted help, but HAD TO PAY for it by selling THEIR OWN FOOD to the British Govt."). The Roscommon Famine Museum contents I saw in 1995, were demolished in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement!! The British "rewriting history".....
The freedoms that Michael Collins, the French Resistance, and Nelson Mandella had, was that their brains were NOT being RFI'd 24/7, while mine has..... played with for somebody's PhD, downgraded to low intelligence for over ten years, and nothing I want to do, OR NOT, has been missed by those RFI gestapo types..... from 25may1992 obvious (but I suspect from the early 1970's, tho' not evident to me, but perhaps to Roly when he asked me a question on 30oct1974 afternoon, as he suddenly stalked away with no comment) - so I cannot smile at them, and later, out of sight, bomb them elsewhere!
and it continues: RFI sharpish leg pain this morning at 0523 for a few minutes, a little worse than yesterday

China will release a new Five-year Plan in March next year, setting a strategic, economic and national security agenda for the period 2026-2030.
A communique released Oct. 23 after the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee noted the development of China as a “strong aerospace power” (along with other priorities: manufacturing, quality, transportation and networks). More will be revealed at the “Two Sessions” in Beijing in early March.

On 05nov2025, SNJ published a letter, which said:
When (those against the flags) set themselves up as the mouthpiece and arbiter of what is, or what Is not, allowable ‘correct think' by expressing a bitter tirade against those who are flying the St George's flag around Stonehouse, their arrogance depresses me, but it does not surprise me.
There is a certain class of comfortably-off person eager to put themselves forward into positions of minor power within our state apparatus these days, who use this position to impose their viewpoint on everyone around them, evincing no ability to debate or to listen to other evidence than that they wish to hear.
And sad to say these apparatchiks and ideologues are now everywhere you look in this country ‑ anywhere that the state doles out little medallions or offices designed to swell their ego, you will find them.
I lived in China many years ago, and I never thought that in a relatively short period of time, fortunes would reverse so starkly (not only economically, but that too) such that here in England we would be lorded over by cadres, while in China the thought policing infrastructure would dramatically fade from what it once was (they do not have a social credit system by the way), and become now considerably more benign than what we have here.
The truth about immigration, rarely if ever expressed in any quarter, is that we have a situation in which a cabal of let's call them 'untouchables' (I mean the political class and 'elites', those who will never suffer loss or harm no matter how they ever behave), go about systematically destroying other sovereign nations to gain geopolitical advantage over resources (by deliberately destabilising regions) and to promote the interests of the military industrial complex, and those who make money from ‘war bonds'; and then welcome the resulting dispossessed here with open arms and crocodile tears, or smiles, whichever suits the moment (read: "Dope Inc" -JimQ:updated2010- by the way, to learn precisely why we went into Afghanistan).
Think about it. The British state (which is quite separate to the people of this land) has thus far destroyed: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza, Sudan, Somalia, Ukraine ‑ and many, many more via bomb and usury.
And then, these self‑same architects of this hellish destruction pretend to be 'compassionate' to the very people whose homelands they brutally destroyed, allowing them to live for free in places where they know it will be inflammatory and divisive so to do ‑ and which they do not pay for, but those struggling to survive, do.
The root cause of all our ills is not so much the immigration, it is certainly not the salt‑of‑the‑earth people of this country for whom so many affluent types; it is: the political class, on all 'sides'. That is the dragon that requires slaying.

I have struck through my statement just below because the ticker tape at the bottom of the screen said "Sudan Security and Defence Council calls for general mobilisation to fight RSF" at 0639 IST on TRT Wolrd this morning. But in a letter to President Trump yesterday, I said "
Your Masad Boulos, US Senior Adviser for Arab and African Affairs, was on
TRTWorld TV news just now: he is tryng to make a 3 month ceasefire in
Sudan, followed by 9 months of political settlement (WE all hope)!
That is the CORRECT way - get people Talking, and Compromise - YES,
in some way, for NONE of us is Always RIGHT, and WAR is the LAST
RESORT - not the EU's almost 1st !!....
It seems to me as a result of the 0639 IST TRT World ticker tape, that Masad Boulos could do with More Strength to his argument..... so "Peace through Strength" could win this initial battle, but the longer term will need more continuous Talk and Thought!
Thus Strength could Beneficially give a SMACK (as of a very emotional child) to Stop Conflict in the short term, and allow longer term thinking to proceed....., where that continuing conflict would probably never do so!
JimQ
Peace through Strength wins a battle, but not the war, for that needs talk and more talk, most probably to COMPROMISE. 06nov2025

Received 03nov2025. This note 04nov2025 at 0937 GMT:
Brutal exclusion of the 7th Century new One God religion with the 300 god status quo.... the usual "Peace through Strength" in the longer term, FAILS. For they only win the initial battle, not the war!
Interesting to compare with Judaism, and the Prophet Moses - both have a God who is not on Earth, but lives forever, and Muhammad is not seen in the film either (respecting Muslim belief), but dies "young" compared with JimQ. Christianity also has a God not on Earth, but Jesus Christ is considered God who did live on Earth for a time.
ALL three have similar top level policy (I am not quite sure, but they are certainly close), but their writings are by different POETS, so not PRECISELY the same words........ The film seems to me to show the closer similarity between Jew and Muslim, while Christianity is a bit different with a GOD ON EARTH, though could be the "same" policy.
The conflict between those of different views is shown in the film, and still horrifies me, as did the War of the Roses when JimQ was 12 years old - and I thus gave up School History lessons, so much HORROR IN the lack of negotiation and thought - (hippopotamus's share resources, and so have a higher intelligence than wordy I AM RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG humans?) -
to share resources, and respect others views while living in peace, not killing so many peasants on both sides, OWNED BY PIGNORANT rich fat cat..... Colonialists in those days.
Two quotes from the film: "A man who goes to bed with his belly full, while his neighbour is hungry, he is not a Muslim" and
"the ink of a scholar is holier than the blood of a martyr".
Thus you see that the Israeli Government does NOT represent JUDAISM, BUT NAZI FASCISM!!!

"Algorithm" sounds grand, but in this individual predictive case it is just a lottery gamble - like, the small number of Victorian bumps on the head and the very much larger number of possible behaviours (or the relatively small number of life indicators collected into the Statsministeriet database!
YOU MUST NOT CONVICT BY PREDICTION, BUT BY EVIDENCE!
NOR BY PRESUMPTION!

Noting the Escalation in Engineering Tech (Politician Threats on all sides!!!), may I take a leaf out of Arthur C Clarke's imagination please.......
Given a little time, WE Engineers will work out how to produce so much Total Energy, that we can slow Planet Earth's orbit around the Sun to 24 km/sec. Sounds good A?
Longer seasons, so we do not have to spend money on the kids so often!!! 
Yet, there might be problems, that WE Engineers predict that you politicians would not? I will suggest, on 05nov2025 fireworks night.....
The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.972 x 1024 kg.....
ASK a STEM person.....?
05nov2025: Mars circles the Sun at a variable 24km/s, so you had better ask Engineers to provide GOOD insulated houses and heating!!
The 1970 Venera7 soft lander trip to Venus was really spectacular - not only to wonder about the strangest planet in the Solar System, but how to get there, AND what to measure (thus the Question by one team, and the Solution by another team). 1962 Mariner2 was the first flyby, so a part solution demo success.....
But, We Earthlings do NOT know everything for Nature is SO MULTI-COMPLEX, and it takes TIME and Money to LEARN.....
Whose Curiosity? Not politicians!! with their need for dominating Earth, they grab any idea generated by OTHERS, to try so!
There are many of us 8 billion who think very well, and are not loudmouths, for WE know of such complexity and chaos theory too......
Friends produce SciFi films and books like these, predicting (thus helping to correct) the Stupid's future.....
1983: Wargames says "do not retaliate!!", predicting the death of everything on Planet Earth....... unless.
1984: Starman Hindsight: "wait and see, THINK FIRST, not destroy FIRST, Idea's matter, Truth matters!!", for YOUR Aggressive Ignorant Stupidity led to him Retreating from Earth/Giving Up (wonders to Earthlings), for EVER.
There are NONE so stupid as those who think they are not stupid!! Deep Investigators needed, because PIGNORANCE prevails Today, and never ASKS!!

NOW, this chart below could show both an attack and a test of NATO !! And Riga even closer to Voru.... The wiki range seems a bit optimistic, but....... the Pilots could work around that by slowing to ONLY (faster than you?) Mach 2.0! USA F15's and Panavia Tornado F3's could do Mach 2.4 speed briefly (loads of thrust on both, with aluminum heating up), but how long to reach altitude and speed? Too late, for those Mig-31 could slow even more, and still not be caught!
Slow, Visible Mig-31 are NOT a test of NATO - wakey wakey Estonia.
They have twice the range if they drop down to 200ft altitude at high speed, where your radar WILL NOT SEE THEM unless they pass close by......
Oh, F35A max speed Mach 1.7, and Dassault Rafale Mach 1.8,
so Mig-31's NEVER caught, IF...... except by missiles
The Police have people who are used to negotiating with distressed individuals - ask them to help you think!
PLEASE please start talking not shouting...... AND compromise, don't stand on your high horse and give nothing, for THAT WILL MEAN WAR in the end, which the USA have been provoking since 1994 remember!!

I find this irishtimes scare, crazy, for how else would you say to NATO "backoff stupid" - USA/NATO has been declaring "PEACE Through STRENGTH" (an idiot's idea in my view), yet the Russian Federation is NOT allowed to? Double standards in EU/NATO again!!!
Hitler used Peace through Strength, so has Israel for 80 years and Netanyahu today - you all want that too? still think it a good idea A? DAFT or what!!
:
https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/11/02/lara-marlowe-putins-flying-chernobyl-carries-stark-nuclear-warning-for-ireland/
Worse, is that EU/NATO ACCEPTS that a war will happen !! - have they never thought to ....... well.... TALK, with "gentle tea and cake, for two hours only at a time" TO PREVENT WAR? The Headlines:
Putin’s ‘flying Chernobyl’ missile carries a stark nuclear warning for Ireland
European leaders predict a military conflict with Russia within two to five years
and down the page a quote......
This newby THINKS she KNOWS IT ALL already, with NO signifgant investigation outlined, and thus there is NO support for her SILLY WORDS!! :
In August, Catherine Connolly, now president-elect of Ireland, told tThe Irish Times: “Russia is conducting an illegal invasion of Ukraine – it must immediately end its horrific assault in accordance with international law and an immediate ceasefire.” Crazy BLAAAAH !
NATO STARTED THIS with HUGE Aggression from Clinton's 1994 McCarthyism, NOT THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, who are not the Gross Communists of Stalin's time, so back off Lady!! START thinking AND TALK TO PREVENT WAR, not bloody screech to CAUSE ONE.....
Talking carefully, giving way as neccessary, will SAVE MONEY TOO!! Ukraine and Gaza need Rebuild Money. Doubling the Defence Budget because of a few SLOW Mig-31's IS STUPID!!! And arming Mr Zelensky further, makes the rebuilds more costly and numerous....
WHO are YOU Defending Mr Starmer in UK? Only the very fit in Britain? because you have so increased the defence budget that you have "halved" the Welfare budget!!
So, reduce the defence budget to below 2% of GDP, the lower the better,
and FORCE YOURSELF TO TALK MORE TO THOSE YOU SNEEEEEER AT SO OFTEN!!! Reducing tensions is a GOOD way of not needing a big defence budget - 1% would be fine, for me.....
In a fairly large and packed Public Meeting last week, I HAD TO SHOUT AT DR SIMON OPHER MP, to "halve the defence budget and to make friends and influence people". It was a Peace Mtg in St Laurence Chrch, with those who want to stop war - and he and the two other top table speakers never ever said to TALK to the Russians, or Backoff nato - hence my shout towards the end. COMEON COMEON!!
WELFARE protection to the sick, disabled and vulnerable IS ESSENTIAL. Remember also YOU MP have still NOT raised STROKE urgency to Cat 1 as I ASKED OVER ONE YEAR AGO, so YOU are CAUSING MORE PARALYSIS, needing even more WELFARE, stupid!!

It seems there are many Politicians living 200 or so years in the past. Colonialism (which I define as: "I AM RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG") still rules >>>>> Catherine Connolly ?
Did you not know that Yuri Gagarin circled the Earth in 90 minutes, and saw how small you all were?
AND, who decided that sending a man to the Moon was too dangerous AT THAT TIME, and were the 1st to land on the Moon and Venus anyway? GOOD thinkers A.
And Curiosity, NOT WAR on Their Collective Mind!!
Screeeeeeeching USA ever since, but it was The Engineers who eventually took man to the Moon, not the Politicians, who seem to think THAT THEY DID IT, and can ignore The Engineers, who WANT THEM TO STOP BEING SO BLOODY AGGRESSIVE, for WE can see the Other Side of The Coin, WHEN YOU CANNOT!!
And so many EU and Australian SYCOPHANTS too, so led by the "kill you on sight gun-fighters of the Old Wild USA West" - in the 21st Century, not the 19th!
Have you plans to kill me on sight, for I strongly object to your ugly USA/NATO/EU policies now??
Note that WE Professional Engineers have intelligence and experience evaluating at WORLD LEVEL, for our combat aircraft are AT LEAST THE EQUAL of anyone else's...... You politicians grow up from food prices and housing costs in your OWN Country: NOT Internationally AT ALL!
Do you think our Intelligence has NOT BEEN TESTED AND PROVED while YOURS HAS.... been elected by a population with HALF of them BELOW average intelligence, so YOUR ability and experiences are thus appropriate to that level of electoral thought? So rarely business Management, Specialist Thinker or Deep Investigator. Engineers are employed by business because WE MAKE THEM MONEY. Do you know how?
By Force Majeur, I suppose I have to be happy that you sort of represent the People in a democracy on one day of an election in 1800 other days (but I contest that you EVER represent the Intelligent, for they are a minority of perhaps 5% in most country's!! do you ASK THEM to help you? ever), but you cannot possibly think of the best cost effective solutions, for you do not have the life long career experience that WE Professional Engineers have, and YOU are SIMPLY NOT THAT NUMERATE NOR CAPABLE!!
In Britain, investments in HS2 Ltd and F35B were ENTIRELY wrongly LAUNCHED - almost NO Vee Stage 2 at all.... huge costs wasting money..... nothing cost effective in Government at all.
Did you UK democracy politicans deliberately legislate "equality" to mean of ability too? So, CLASSICS qualifications (but are NOT) = to ENGINEERING qualifications!! While a Chartered Economist falls well short of a CEng demonstrably!
STUPID! And thus why Britain's Government NEVER tells an appointee's qualifications, for they DO NOT MATTER? STUPID!
Mr Putin, long term President, can encourage good thinkers to help him, while you short term democracy politicians are scared, for we might win the next election....
Luckily for you, I will never be an MP, for I WILL NOT spend my time saying the same thing to many people every day. That is an MP's job, to represent their people, but you will NEVER equal my ability to provide good solutions QUICKLY..... and I move onto the next Problem, and refuse to repeat myself more than a couple of times, for the next problem is more important too. Delaying solutions means exponential growth, and higher costs.....
Mr Putin may already have embraced "his" Professional Engineers to help him SHOW NATO ITS PROBLEMS, for those slow Mig-31's over Estonia were a good idea!

I DESPISE USA nevertheless - for making it worse with Russia, for not talking, for not persuading even gently, for ALWAYS attacking, for SNEEEEEEERING ALL THE BLOODY TIME - the USA/UK ARE THE SHIT UNBALANCED democracy today, especially from Clinton's 1994 NATO Expansion!!!! AND the Cause of the Ukraine Invasion in February 2022 - Mr Zelensky is a small, bit part player because the McCarthyism in USA does not care how it attacks Russia, cause or no cause, and simply pushed/used NATO on Ukraine as a way of doing so!!

Philip Short had a long career as Foreign Correspondent for the BBC, and published this book "PUTIN" ISBN 978-1-784-70093-5 in 2023.
I took it on my travels to Kutaisi, and pages 235, 236, 237 made me sick....... for the NATO lies continue EASTWARD AGGRESSION (AND DENIAL) STRATEGY even today, albeit the ugly-to-customers legal words may allow denial, as always for small-print-Lawyers defending a Company's Business!!
The OPPOSITE of Engineers, who Support The Customer (THREE: on page 180 of my 2024 book "Tornado New Horizons", and page 207 of my 2022 book "The Tornado Engine +" and page 232 of my 2018 book "The White Tornado".
There is HUGE AGGRESSION against The Russian Federation at the bottom of Page 235 for NO REASON, for I think it is "McArthyism" still continuing in the USA!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism says:
1) On December 2, 1954, the United States Senate voted 67 to 22[25] to condemn McCarthy for "conduct that tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute" AND
2) McCarthy began his campaign by drawing upon the ways in which he embodied traditional American values to become the self-appointed vanguard of social morality. AND
3) In 1953, after he left office, Truman criticized the contemporary Eisenhower administration:
I, Jim Quinn, ACCUSE the USA of "BEING FEARFUL MEN" into the 21st Century.
It is CLEAR to me that "THEY ARE STILL THE HYPOCHONDRIAC KNEE-JERK GUN-FIGHTERS" OF THE 19TH CENTURY!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy says
he continued as Wisconsin Senator (January 3, 1947 – May 2, 1957) ....... until his death. If he had been regarded as a Public TREASON Risk for his extreme VIEWS, he would have been ejected, so those VIEWS were ..... OK!!

I am very concerned about the PRESSURE on Greenland's PEOPLE from many Rich Fat Cat Nations to Mine Greenland's Natural Resources - USA, UK, EU, Australia for example.
I want it stopped please, as maybe Chatham House think to LIMIT that Pressure too.
The hydrogen injected Piston Engine is by far the best sustainable and is easily recycled, whereas the EV battery vehicle's RAPE the PLANET for Rare Earth Materials in huge URGENT current/future quantities
(the panic leading to poorly coordinated unsightly residual debris piles, and huge trucks to transport such materials which need wider roads that are expensive to build in minus 40C temperatures......).
The EV battery has limited life, requires larger cars, and is extremely difficult to recycle, never ever achieving the best that my 2010 1.4 petrol Ford Fiesta does (Ford have chopped the Fiesta for it is NOT BIG enough to be profitable as an EV car!!). Cities need smaller cars not huge tanks!!

Kruschev was the first to try easing the Stalinist Gross Top Down Structure in the CCCP, with Gorbachev trying to ease things too, but unable to plan structure change with so many internal disagreements as to "what do we want to do". The breakdown was huge and so very often the "left hand" did not know what the "right hand" was doing, with so much geographical spread, and poor communications. The CIS was formed by only a few States including Ukraine, and those few decided what parts of the CCCP were to be "what subsequent Nation".
Many Ethnic Russians during the long years of the CCCP, moved around (with freedom like the Schengen area in the EU), so there are ex-CCCP nations who have borders NOT representing the population - hence South east Ukraine is largely Ethnic Russian who do NOT want to be governed by the different peoples in Kiev, and have said/fought so for many years, but were "OK" under the CCCP!!

STEM people would know, Do YOU? Thus, it is a CHALLENGE for you!!
Reference: Read engineering/technical books, not fictions fantasies......
My Request: what materials are liquid at 50 kelvin? The Chrome (Google) response:
At 50K (-223.15C) most pure elements are solids or gases, with only a few (NOPE!) noble gases being a gas at this temperature and many elements being solids. Common liquid elements like mercury (234K) and bromine (292K) are too far above 50K to be in a liquid state at this temperature. Therefore, there are no common elements that are liquid at 50K and it is likely that some very cold and specialized liquids would be needed to be in liquid state at this temperature.

JimQ review!
Examples of materials that are liquid at 50K (-223.15C)
- Helium: It is the only element that is liquid at 50 K at standard pressure. Its boiling point is approximately 4.2 K. (NOPE! if the BP is 4.2K, how can it be liquid above that temperature!! Boil water and you produce steam at a constant 100C (273.15K), but then raise the temperature higher and it cannot be either solid or liquid, for it can only be a gas, called superheated steam). PS: 4.2K is He4 BP, while He3 BP is 3.2K - and both become solids at VERY high pressures!!
- Some molecules and compounds (NONE!)
- Liquid hydrogen: It boils at around 20K and its boiling point is -253C. At 50K, hydrogen is in a liquid state. (NOPE! the same rubbish as for helium above, Hydrogen MP is 14.0K and BP is 20.2K, so it is definitely a GAS at 50K)
Examples of materials that are solid at 50K
- Mercury (solid)
- Bromine (solid)
- Gallium (solid)
- Iron (solid)
- Aluminum (solid) plus for example: Nitrogen, Oxygen (just), Fluorine (just)
- Fluorine (solid) YES! MP 53.4K, BP 85.0K
Examples of materials that are gases at 50K
- Nitrogen (gas) NOPE! MP 63.2K, BP 77.3K.... thus a solid at 50K
- Oxygen (gas) NOPE! MP 54.3K, BP 90.1K.... thus a solid at 50K
- Neon (gas) YES, a gas! MP 24.5K, BP 27.1K
- Hydrogen (gas) YES, a gas! MP 14.0K, BP 20.2K
LOTS OF NONSENSE!! You tell me in Comments below? Or, welcome to those who know my email address.......
Tomorrow I leave for my overseas holiday on the 1159 train, for a week. I will add my CORRECTIONS to this blog ABOVE then!! DONE, 27oct2025 in blue.
JimQ
PS
My Chengdu Source (discovered in 2010) from his 18 charts describing the Engineering of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) and mainly YBCO:
Note that both Oxygen (paramagnetic, so influenced greatly by magnetic field strength - convection better at high Tesla) and Fluorine (diamagnetic, largely unaffected by magnetic field strength) should be liquid at 55K, so better coolants than the pumped Liquid Nitrogen 63K shown on the graph,while the Magnetic Field strength at these temperatures is 25T and 17.5T respectively for YBCO, so 42% stronger at 55K, giving an improved top margin for the control-amplitude range of the 150millionK plasma!!
Subsequent Thinking has convinced the British to adopt a small Tokamak in their STEP Fusion Plant in Nottingham, because it is predicted to have Q = 20, while ITER Q = 10 (above), and so "smaller reactors produce better output" and are faster to build!!
