As described family tombs were said to have been used from the bronze age in ancient Israel. They were hewn chambers or natural caves, and closed with a stone or stones. The tombs were often used for generations; bones being collected and put into as called burial boxes as time passed. Jesus was at first laid out in a rock cut tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, Arimathea being a city in Judea.

The burial procedure was that after a certain length of time the bones of the deceased were put away, often into burial boxes which were marked with the names of the deceased. The discovery of what Israelis were said to have believed to be the tomb of Jesus occurred in east Jerusalem in 1980. An unearthed tomb contained a particular burial box believed to be inscribed with the name of Jesus. DNA testing seems to substantiate that the human remains in the box were not related. Said to have contained the remains of three people. Sources say one inscription on the box read, ‘Jesus, son of Joseph’. Israeli experts believe this to pertain to Jesus Christ because of the absence of a place name which was normal practice at the time, and necessary in order to identify the individual. For instance Jesus of Nazareth or Joseph of Arimathea. Protocol might only have been omitted if the individual had become known to everyone. The tomb, said to have been found as the result of a pre-building excavation in 1980, was believed to be a little kept secret until 2007. Details unknown.

Some believe other human remains in the box may have been his friend Mary Magdalene. The third person unknown.

According to a recent report there are 4,435 confirmed cases of covid 19 in Sweden with 180 reported deaths. Young children in Sweden are still going to school though universities and secondary schools have been closed due to the epidemic. Shops, pubs and restaurants remain open in Sweden but are reported to be very quiet. People have to keep a distance of 2 metres from the bar according to the report, and must be seated. Should be social distancing.

Covid 19 cases in the u.s. are estimated at 120,000; fatalities reportedly surpassing 2000. High risk areas believed to be New York and Seattle. There is no interstate travel ban but New York has closed all bars, restaurants and anywhere people might congregate. States and cities can reportedly make their own decisions on what measures to introduce providing they stick to wider regulations; presumably social distancing and hygiene. Corona virus is said to be passed via droplets; sneezing, coughing etc. Masks should be worn if symptomatic.

According to a scientific study, corona virus is unable to live on copper surfaces for over four hours. Copper jewellery is believed to ease symptoms of arthritis. It is believed to be a fungicide an algicide and probably antibacterial. The corona virus can only exist on cardboard for 24 hours and during this time may dissipate rapidly according to the study. However, the virus is reported to be able to live on plastic and steel for up to three days.

Current homeless demographics differ from the past because figures used to represent individuals in emergency accomodation and those sleeping rough. Not so of late. The incidence of those having to sleep rough and the way they have been treated by the homeless executive is Ireland’s shame. The unacceptable situation of rough sleepers will hopefully be eased by the covid 19 crisis.

With regard to government figures, only about those living in emergency accomodation, about 60% of homeless children are reported to live in hotels and bed & breakfast accomodation. No figures for adults. This inspite of an as called self imposed government deadline promising to end the practice almost three years ago. Major problems perceived to be a lack of cooking and laundry facilities.

According to a recent report there are 540 more homeless people as of this year. The long term problem of little availability of accomodation of a reasonable standard has not been addressed. Other problems were little or no information on what an individual on rent supplement can afford, tennant’s rights going unnoticed because the landlord takes precedence and landlords continuing to rent out sub standard accomodation.

Substandard accomodation can also apply to social housing, mainly termed as emergency accomodation. Tennants needs are often not addressed amongst pressure to avail of what is passed off as emergency housing, rather than being brought up to standard.

The as called International Monetary Fund are all flexed to lend in the event of a proposed and indefinite complete lockdown which will surely bring the world to the brink of bankruptcy and could be the end for many businesses. Some governments are talking about financial aid packages of 18 billion pounds sterling, mainly used to fund a stay at home labour force whose orders are to isolate indefinitely. Some businesses however are adapting to the crisis, identifying specific needs or contributing in part to a better outcome.

One of Plato’s theories was the philosophy of Platonic love. According to Plato an individual who genuinely wants the best possible outcome in a situation reaches out to the universe and is given the means to effect a change for good. Specifically, the means are various character traits such as intuition, communication, wisdom etc. According to Plato, the characteristics do not belong to the individual but have to be continually accessed as required from a higher source. Christianity proposed to differ in that we develop new ways of coping which will become part of our characters.

According to one source, Queen Elizabeth II spent her early years in Bulgaria, according to some, being groomed for the position of British monarch, although the facts presented were that her uncle King Edward VIII abdicated in 1936, when the previously divorced Wallis Simpson didn’t meet with approval from the church of England of which the Monarch is seen as head, leaving the father of Elizabeth II, George VI to be crowned.

King George VI was born Albert and known as Bertie. The house, as called Saxe, Coburg and Gotha, originally the house of Wettin, documented by some to be of German descent, in fact are a Bulgarian dynasty. Name changed to Windsor during the first world war, perhaps forgoing warring relatives. George VI was documented as the last emporer of India before devolution. Details unknown. He was documented as to have adopted the new title of head of the commonwealth. He married in 1923, five years after the war had ended. His wife Elizabeth Bowes Lyon appeared to be a supporter of Hitler during the war. She seemed to be a leading figure, her husband following behind. He was known to be a smoker and died of ischaemic heart disease at the age of 56.

George and Elizabeth are known to have had two daughters, Elizabeth II and Margaret. Elizabeth married Philip in 1947. From a believed to be staunch military family and intrigue, there were reports of untoward goings on during the second world war. His brother is listed to have trained with the notorious Curtis Lemay.

Italy are reported to be on the verge of a financial crisis, and the closing of all deemed to be non essential businesses is thought to be the cause. So called lockdown is in it’s third week in Italy yet the estimated death toll does not represent an improvement. Made to stay in reportedly already for 15 to 20 days, lockdown was said to now be extended indefinitely, leading to many complaints. Worries are for casual workers who are not deemed eligible for income support. There are some reports of people running out of food.

In Brazil, the government had a ‘Brazil can’t stop’ campaign, the prime minister saying he believed it was best to carry on. The death toll in Brazil has been estimated at 111 with a reported 4000 covid 19 cases.

The virgin terraine around Cushlough, County Mayo, once was a remarkable, panoramic scenic drive of emerald green hills. Now the grass is beige and dying. A disease or chemicals?

There appears to be somthing wrong with the as called greenway from Westport to Mulranny and beyond. Once emerald green, now has expanses of brown earth where the grass won’t grow anymore.

Acts of ecoterrorism have included ruining coral reefs, and even worse, ruining water supplies which effects everything, jeopardising the health of the local community. There is a growing consensus that rivers in western Africa have been contaminated. Mainly the ebola river. In these days of bioterrorism, we can all relate to the situation in Africa.

Drug addiction, alcoholism, food cravings and sensitivities all have one thing in common. The half life. The half life of a substance is the period of time it takes for the body to eliminate all traces of it. Organs of elimination are liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines and skin.

Drugs with a short half life, that is when the residue will recede rapidly result in the most cravings and are counted as the most addictive. Physical cravings for the substance are believed to stop when the body eliminates the item, though psychological dependence is more complicated. Drugs with a long half life are not thought to be highly addictive. An example with regard to prescription drugs is the thought to be highly addictive tranquilizer Lorazepam, which is believed to have a short half life, compared to the believed to be less addictive, longer half life of Valium/diazepam.

As food sensitivities and associated cravings are believed to be linked to half lifes, a procedure to identify food sensitivities using electronic equipment is available in some health shops and chemists. Apparatus measures the presence of foods, chemicals and some viruses in an individual’s body. A high level of a food or a chemical indicates problems. Chemicals that may be present includes those used in cleaning products, sprays such as roundup and insecticides.

Procedure to treat a food sensitivity is avoidance of the substance for a minimum of two weeks. Though some experts believe reintroduction is ok, after a break from the problem food, many do not want to reintroduce it. Food and alcohol sensitivities may have physical and psychological factors, for instance avoidance overeating, neglecting real needs etc. Especially true in dysfunction.

A sensitivity to sugar may be linked to problems with alcohol in later life, but not always the case. Alcohol is made from fermented sugars. Resilience to both alcohol and sugar is believed to vary from person to person, some individuals being more well than others. May be genetic factors at work.

White sugar is not believed to be a natural food being a concentrated extract. Symptoms of a sensitivity to sugar may be loss of concentration and/or hyperactivity. Sugar is also essential food for bacteria.

Sucrose extracted from sugarcane may have originated in New Guinea, Australasia and was said to have become a crop in Persia and perhaps elsewhere during the 6th Century BC. Sugar crops are said to have developed in the west Indies and South America during the reign of Christopher Columbus.

In response to a documented sugar blockade by the English in the early 19th Century, Napolean is said to have ordered sugar beet to be grown as an alternative source. Sugar was extracted from beetroot and other root vegetables in Saxony, Poland and perhaps elsewhere. The much cheaper crops made sugar widely available and may have contributed to numerous diseases.

Along with tea and coffee, sugar remains a gold mine for colonial resources.

According to documentation, Biafra was a state which existed between 1967 to 1970. Situated in what is now said to be eastern Nigeria, it was Biafra’s claim for independence from Nigeria that is reported to have resulted in civil war.

Nigeria was invaded by the British in 1851. According to documentation colonisation lasted until 1960. There followed various declarations of independence, and rumours of grevious war tactics on behalf of the British. Africa’s resources are thought to have been the subject of political and economic rivalries. According to documentation, private enterprises were bought off by imperialists. Belgium were delegates in the as called privately controlled Congo free state, perhaps believed at the time to be acquired under terms of humanitarianism and philantrophy, documented but not believed today. Leopold II was recorded to be the sole owner of the Congo until 1908. He is said to have extracted a fortune from the state, reportedly resorting to murder, torture and atrocities.

The area was thought to have gained independence following the second world war. In reality they were all out of resources. The end of commonwealth interests usually means the end of a military and colonial presence; and leaving the area devoid of resources. The fighting for food etc. which follows is often blamed on inter-tribal differences or religious differences.

An estimated two million Biafrans died of starvation during the Nigerian civil war as documented. Believed to be the consequence of a food blockade. The famine resulted in the region known as Biafra, thought to be located in present day Cameroon, surrendering its separatist plans. The federal Nigerian government at the time were said to have been the subject of a coup and counter coup. A reason for the civil war may have been due to bankrupcy in Nigeria, leading to fights for survival. It is not known whether the large amounts of oil documented to be in the region were in indegenous hands. Believed not to be, and is also true of today according to some.
