RIP: Nicholas Eadie 1958 to 2025

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-23/nicholas-eadie-actor-tv-film-dies-aged-67/104850018

This sad news came as a complete shock, he is not much older than me and I was a fan from way back when he was on Cop Shop. Rest in peace Nicolas, you did the Australian tv and film industry proud with your skills.

Doctor declared cancer free one year after receiving treatment inspired by his own treatment

 https://viralstrange.com/doctor-declared-cancer-free-one-year-after-receiving-treatment-inspired-by-his-own-research/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=fb_feed&utm_campaign=musiccrowns&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0ceFkaxGZM5x_MxoHiPX64jfA1Bb58R9mRZsw6WJJwWtuOMPbYxI29F98_aem_mVPNOVe3pP_JQienOMi1HQ#

Very brave man, that takes courage to be a Guinea pig for new medicine. I hope he stays cancer free from here on in. The scientific breakthroughs are part of Uranus’s power so it is no surprise that he made such an amazing discovery. 

When I was reading the article I saw blue healing lights in a cluster above his head. That is a positive sign spiritually, blue is a healing colour, but in the future light therapy will be common treatment. The blue spectrum is very important in this technology.

 https://the-riotact.com/ghost-tour-operator-vows-to-continue-legacy-after-famous-junee-haunted-house-closes-to-public/839419

Monte Cristo Homestead was a big tourist attraction for the paranormal community, alas times are changing and it faces a new future. The facebook page is still available to look at for the time being where you can see photos of the grand house, or if you google the name you will find ghost stories on different websites in regards to the ghosts said to haunt the house. There are photos of the house interior on google images if you would like to see them too.

May he rest in peace

Paramedic revived 11 minutes after electrocution details his ‘tranquil’ near-death experience

 https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/paramedic-revived-11-minutes-after-electrocution-details-his-tranquil-near-death-experience-c-17301712

What a surreal experience, lucky for him he came back. The silver cord wasn’t cut meaning there is no coming back, he was in the transition phase but not into the light. He didn’t have a life review otherwise he would have mentioned that.

Dated 6 January 2025

It’s not just the brain that we need to worry about, it’s our entire bodies. We are full of all sorts of chemicals from our foods and the environment.

A Common Sleeping Pill May Reduce The Buildup of Alzheimer's Proteins, Study Finds

 https://www.sciencealert.com/a-common-sleeping-pill-may-reduce-the-buildup-of-alzheimers-proteins-study-finds

As someone who suffers from insomnia this interests me. I do believe that we will have a significant breakthrough in this treatment in my lifetime. It may start by stripping something from the drug and using a combination treatment. I am only going from intuition here as I know absolutely nothing of medicine. 

Long term medication does harm the liver, but it’s quality of life that matters. 

The original light bulb moment, 124 years of continuous use

 https://www.sciencealert.com/this-is-the-worlds-longest-burning-bulb-and-it-could-outlive-us-all 

Wow, talk about a light bulb moment. In reality though, manufacturers don’t want light bulbs to last indefinitely or many years because they don’t make money if people don’t need to but them very often. So planned obsolescence is a must to keep the money flowing in. But how amazing is the little light bulb to survive 124 years of use. It has seen so much change in technology over the years and hopefully it will continue to function for many years to come. A great testament to its inventor, it makes me wonder how many bulbs were made at the time this one was made and how long they lasted.

Home fragrances impact indoor air quality, and the health risks are alarming

 https://www.earth.com/news/home-fragrances-impact-indoor-air-quality-and-the-health-risks-are-alarming/

A better option for fragrance is using an oil burner with essential oils and not a fragrant oil which is chemicals. I have used an oil burner since the 1990’s and the fragrance wafts through my house. I have one in my office and one in my kitchen and family room. Never leave an oil burner unattended for safety reasons especially if you have children or fur babies. 

I do have some scented candles too though which I don’t use too often. I did invest in air purifiers 4years ago to help with health issues and they are running constantly. I highly recommend investing in good quality air purifiers if possible. 

You can buy Frankincense and myrrh essential oils easily, these also help with spiritual cleansing. Cedar wood is a great essential oil to use at Christmas time it’s one of my most used oils. I use my oils for spiritual reasons mostly but I also use them for relaxing and promoting a calming environment. Please be very careful with using essential oils around pets because some are toxic to animals. 

I only burn incense outside after a lady told me about how harmful it is to use indoors. So I am very careful with that. I like to burn incense at my back door and my front door creating a cleansing and spiritually uplifting environment. 

I buy my essential oils from Essentials of Australia https://www.escentialsofaustralia.com/ the prices are fantastic and Max has good quality oils. I used to buy his oils when he lived in Canberra years ago. I recently reconnected with him thanks to John from Bonvale Connections when he retired as John had recommended him to his customers. Check out the prices of the oils and you will be delightfully surprised.

Gene behind orange fur in cats found at last

 https://www.science.org/content/article/gene-behind-orange-fur-cats-found-last

What makes a ginger ninja ginger? The mystery has been solved. So what makes ginger cats mischievous and adorable? My late Garfield was very much the baby of the family and definitely the one who would climb the Christmas tree every year, tease his kitty big  brothers and his sister and still be absolutely adorable.

Hospital reveals the 10 Most common objects that kids stick up their noses

 https://www.9news.com.au/national/most-common-objects-children-stick-up-their-nose/1cbf668b-06f5-49aa-b877-dca324708e34

It’s not just up the hooter, they also shove things in their ears too. I remember sticking beads in my ears when I was around 3 years old. I wanted to wear earrings like my mum. 

Luckily my mum put some oil into my ear to massage the ear and out popped the bead. Two minutes later, I did it again and I put it deeper into the ear, lol. She was not impressed with me obviously and she went to find where my beads came from and put them in the garbage to prevent me trying to do it again. It was a necklace that had broken and me being a rather active child, thought that  I could put the beads in my ears.

Probiotic Delivers Anticancer Drug To Gut

 https://www.miragenews.com/probiotic-delivers-anticancer-drug-to-gut-1361941/

This looks promising, but the body needs to be alkaline to stop disease too, when the body builds up acid it becomes sick. Life is pretty hectic for the average person as it is, and trying to afford a healthy nutritious diet is getting more difficult for people especially if they have a family to feed. Probiotics are expensive for many families too, and you need top quality probiotics that are kept refrigerated. Anything else is not worth buying, so do your research before buying anything. Natural yoghurt is a good start as are fermented foods, though not everyone can eat these for health reasons such as allergies to these things or an intolerance. Talk to your pharmacist about probiotics for people who are lactose intolerant as there are alternatives. 

This is where those that can afford to, need to use a naturopath as well as their family doctor. Learning what is nutritional and what is immune system enhancing. With the changes in our world these days we owe it to ourselves to learn nutrition and preventative natural medicine to work together for optimal health.

Police track down unlikely shoe thief from Japanese kindergarten

 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/18/japan-weasel-shoe-thief-kindergarten-gosho-kodomo-en-fukuoka

LOL, I just had to share this one. What a cute little stinker, lol.  I love the expression used at the end of the article. My late cat Tolstoy had a thing for shoes, he would steal them and sniff them, sometimes we found them under the bed. He was a funny little guy. 

What's the difference between a weasel and a stoat? A weasel is weasely recognised and a stoat is stoataly different

'Is this what we've come to?': Perth father beaten in brutal attack on night out

 https://www.9news.com.au/national/perth-father-beaten-in-brutal-attack-on-night-out/766ad2f0-a489-4b07-8e59-2145cf450335?ocid=edm-nine.com.au-ninedaily--241111&mktg_scr=edm-ninedaily

Lift your bloody game Western Australia! Is this what life has become in Australia? Where police are ineffective and the government constantly pays lip service to the public. Our magistrates and judges are a national disgrace, as they never punish criminals properly and victims are left seriously injured or dead. 

Yet the public also seem so indifferent and are not demanding accountability. The public must keep up the momentum on the legal system and the government, to man up and stop this animalistic behaviour now. The laws are there but magistrates rarely use the full force of their powers, and then on the other hand we have weak minded goodie goodie leftist lawyers, demanding the criminal is a victim and the sentence if handed down is manifestly unfair. They give no thought to the victims, the families bereaved or the  insult these goodie goodies deal to our moral decency.  

Where are the  mass public protests about street crime, and violence. You can protest the popular domestic violence, or a political agenda but never protest our criminal violence. Domestic violence is protested only because it is being pushed by the media and for no other reason. Yes, domestic violence is horrific and wrong, of course it is, but so are the violent crimes that are committed every single day. You cannot cherry pick what to protest about, and call yourself moral, ethical or just; unless you tackle all violent crime. It's like the public are so dumbed down; that they have to be told by the media when to be angry, how to think and how to react. The media are hardly fine examples of high moral values themselves. They manipulate and browbeat the masses and constantly insult our intelligence. 

 The Australian public have become weak and ineffective individuals who are literally lead by the nose by political agendas and not moral behaviour. We do not want to live in a world with rampant violence going unchecked like in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. 

This does not sell us as a good place to live, to people overseas. We are seen as an unruly mob that lack civilization  when violence like this is now an every day occurrence. The buck stops with the public getting off their collective backsides and demanding real justice, without backsliding into a pathetic weak nation of  wimps. Show some bloody respect for the victims of violent crime by taking the appropriate action.

'Fantastic' solution at iconic Aussie beach to divisive nationwide problem

Corpse plant in bloom

 https://www.geelongaustralia.com.au/gbg/plants/corpseflower/article/item/8dcfa8f2e06a22e.aspx

Yeah, Nah! I dry heave at the drop of a hat, lol. A stinky plant doesn’t do anything for me 🤣🤣 Just as well that it flowers only once in ten years. 🤢🤢 Australia does have magnificent plants, trees and flowers to enjoy and seeing them in a botanical garden is ideal for viewing a wide variety without long travels to see species in their bush environment.

Volunteer Archaeologists Find Lost Medieval Castle in Scottish Forest

 https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/eddlewood-castle-0021642

What a great find, this is near where I come from and part of my local history. 


The Castle at the top of the news article Craignethan castle is also known as Tilletudlem castle from the Sir Walter Scott novel Old Mortality. I remember visiting this castle as a child and my parents telling me about this. I have the novel among my collection of Sir Walter Scott’s books. 

The Lanarkshire region is steeped in history and a must see for history lovers, you can feel the energy of the past as you explore the famous castles and battle grounds. We Scott’s are very much living history as the stories are often passed down the generations. If you love Scottish history, I highly recommend reading books by Neil Oliver, Magnus Magnusson  in particular Scotland; the story of a nation, and other authors on Scottish history and castles. As a side note Sir Walter Scott was not historically accurate in his novels but they are excellent reading all the same.

Woolworths employee on $26 an hour confronts board at AGM over millions paid to executives

 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/oct/31/woolworths-employee-confronts-board-agm-executives-salaries

What's wrong with this picture? There is no damn way the CEO of any company is worth what they are paid. How is this acceptable for anyone to be paid such extremes of wages and the ordinary workers are working themselves into the grave to survive.

Warning over 'harmful' garden trend as Aussies partake in Halloween celebrations

 https://au.news.yahoo.com/warning-over-harmful-garden-trend-as-aussies-partake-in-halloween-celebrations-001744501.html

Unfortunately people don’t stop to think about the dangers of using fake spiderwebs or other decorative items that are harmful or potentially deadly to wildlife. We need an education campaign as well as laws that protect wildlife from being killed or injured by banning dangerous items outdoors in peoples gardens. 

Orange led lights would be a better choice on shrubs and trees if you want to decorate them. It’s better to hang the fake spiderwebs up at windows inside the house and highlight them with a string of lights. Get creative with window displays instead of hanging dangerous fake spiderwebs in your garden. That way people can look at your window displays at night time without worrying about harm to wildlife. It’s a win-win for wildlife and people celebrating Halloween 🎃
