Day-to-day life in Myanmar
Having got back 'home', I've been doing a post-mortem on my trip to the orphanages. What was very clear was a) My Android learning app was greatly appreciated by the various teachers and b) it was a real pain to download and install it from my website because unless it's downloaded from the Google Playstore, the phone pops up no end of warning messages about possible viruses etc. This app used to be on the Playstore a few years ago, but Google Playstore T&Cs are constantly updated with changes needed to the app software. I'm not an expert in C programming, so I let the app compliance lapse and now it's no longer on the Playstore. But seeing the demand for my app and also wanting to make some changes to the app functionality etc, I've engaged an Android app developer not only to update the app to bring it into compliance, but to also manage the app on an ongoing basis, to ensure that it is always available on the Playstore for easy download. That leaves me free to do app promotion, and to create new language/vocabulary files for the app library. (Also, most folks that I met only seemed to think that a mobile phone has Facebook and Playstore!. Opening a browser to download from my website was met with a blank stare...) Anyway, that's a cost close on $800, but I see this as an investment for the future 🙂 -

Is Obesity a Very Serious Problem?
Locking people down for two years has consequences. In 2019 the parks around here were full with kids playing futbol but today most are empty. As for the gyms, they really don't help much but are better than nothing. I love gyms but realize that working out in the end might allow me to eat an extra cookie or two. Just look at the other people at the gym and it is obvious it isn't making them any more healthy. It is 90% diet for most unless they are truly putting in 5+ hours of cardio a week. It is simple math. Running a kilometer burns about an extra 55 calories vs sitting on your butt. Run 70k a week and you might be able to burn enough to eat an extra big meal or two at KFC a week. People simply have to eat less. People 100 years ago ate appropriately and obesity was almost non-existent. -

The Unheeded Warnings: How Mass Immigration Is Reshaping Europe
Did you ever formally study science? I would guess not as you seem to think scientific theory/current thinking can be chiselled into tablets of stone and posted one paper as "proof" on the ice sheets without recognising that the authors were drawing on multiple theories to support their conclusions. Extrapolation to climate change via greenhouse gases involves all kinds of assumptions and theories that are not the laws of thermodynamics. As I said elsewhere, I did a Science degree, including use of statistics in data samples. My lecturers spent three years telling us NOT to trust the science. -

The Unheeded Warnings: How Mass Immigration Is Reshaping Europe
A cult of reason, logic, and facts. Unfortunately, it is very small, and swamped by a majority of morons on social media.- 1

Mike Waltz Warns Hostage-Takers: “Bullet in Your Damn Forehead”
What are you disagreeing with ? Biden didn't free the hostages in 14 months of them being held. That's a fact . Trump TELLS the hostage takers to release the hostages and its quite likely they they will be going to release the hostages . What bit are you disputing ?
