Ebola cases rise but nobody cares very much?

This was the headline in the Guardian the other day: Ebola cases in Sierra Leone show sharp rise. See http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/10/ebola-cases-sierra-leone-sharp-rise

 

Atle does absolutely not believe in conspiration theories, but he wonders what the US and British Army do in the area. Why not civilian aid? Are they collecting samples for future biological warfare?

 

By the way: The USSR was crushed in the eighties by US economic pressure. Now the price of oil and the Russian roubel plummet? See http://www.eastcapital.com/Look-East/Experts/Marcus-Svedberg/Why-is-the-roubel-so-weak/  When will we see the demise of (Ras)Putin’s Russia? Lower oil price/weak roubel and more spending on the military might be an intoxicating/disastrous cocktail for Mother Russia.

Bondevik:– Dagens politikere må holde mobbekampen levende

I den anledning vil Atle gratulere den nåværende regjeringen i Norge som yter sitt bidrag til at mobbekampen ikke kommer til å dø. Frp og Høyre har så godt som «alltid» stått på de sterkestes side. Mer på http://www.nrk.no/norge/mener-dagens-politikere-ma-holde-mobbekampen-levende-1.12035499

I parentes bemerket er muligens tråkking på de som viser svakhetstegn et beklagelig allmennmenneskelig trekk som ikke forsvinner før arten homo sapiens sapiens er ekstinkt.

Three flights from Khao Sadao

Bengt and I got three flights from Khao Sadao on Thursday and Friday. On Friday evening some thunderstorms were rumbling around creating winds, but as I got out the wind kind of disappeared and I had to og for the landing.

The takeoffs on Khao Sadao and Khao Phrik are now cleaned and ready for flying. Much sweating – my rubber boots were full (see photo).

On Khao Phrik 6-7 policeman wondered what we were doing (guess they had heard the motor working). We said we had cut the grass on takeoff. They wanted to look inside the car. When they saw the paragliders everything was OK. 

Paragliding Khao Sadao

It looks like there will be a spell of wind from S/SE on Thursday and Friday. If the weather forecast is OK tomorrow we will go to fly and cut grass.
