Novak Novax is now a household name throughout the world - even with those who have never followed tennis.

It struck me that this was completely different from how I have acted for as long as I can remember. In my day, and to the present, when someone showed you a courtesy, you would show appreciation, “a little thing”.

WW2 brought an abrupt end to test cricket as it did with most other internationally contested sports. The last test tour of England was in 1938 which ended in a drawn series and Australia retaining the Ashes. The next tour by England was scheduled for 1940/41 but was curtailed due to the war.
Before the end of 1945 the public, particularly in England, were anxious for cricket to resume and a series of four matches was arranged between England and an Australian composite side drawn from service personnel based in the UK. This was known as The Australian Services team and was captained by Lindsay Hassett. The games were known as The Victory Tests but they did not have Ashes Test status. Two games were won by each side and the fifth listed for Manchester was abandoned.

We seem to be so pre occupied with fear and tales of terror these days, don't we? If you are not careful with your choice of news broadcaster, you could believe that the end of the world is nigh.
The problem is that it does not matter which broadcaster you choose, all that is being reported is that the end of the world, as we know it, is on our very doorstep. Fear is a terrible weapon and it is often the fear of a bogeyman that does not exist that causes the greatest fear.

Could the Australian Government’s current banning of Novak Djokovic be because of his public support for the preservation of Serbian ecology in Jadar Valley? Hmm... let's have a think.
Rio Tinto is an Australian mining company that was planning to open a huge Lithium mine in Serbia. There have been massive anti Rio Tinto protests across Serbia in recent months, protests that were supported by many popular public figures, including Djokovic.
Djokovic shared a photograph of the protest on Instagram and commented that “clean air, water and food are keys to health. “Without that, every word about ‘health’ is obsolete,”
Would Rio Tinto be amused? Probably not. In fact, I suspect that they would not appreciate Novak Novax supporting a movement to stop them mining lithium in Serbia. Tut tut, Novak!

By the time solar energy reaches Earth’s surface it is spread very thin – even midday sunshine will not boil the billy or make toast. And solar collectors will only convert about 20% of that weak energy into electricity. Thus thousands of solar panels are needed to collect significant energy, and lots more to charge the expensive batteries needed to maintain electricity supply overnight and during cloudy weather. Despite these disadvantages, force-feeding of “green” energy by all levels of government has given Australia nearly three million solar collectors (mainly imported from China).
It requires scads of land to generate significant electricity from the sun’s weak rays. But even in sunny weather they produce nothing for 16 hours every day. And a sprinkling of dust, pollen, ash or salt, or a few splatters of poop from birds or flying foxes can reduce output by 50%, while night, snow or heavy cloud cover snuffs them out completely.

Investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel said that presently there is no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States and that Big Pharma intends to use children as legal human shields for vaccines.
On top of monetary gains, Pfizer, Moderna and other manufacturers appear to need the children as legal human shields for their products. Children face near-zero risk from COVID-19 but continue to experience alarming side effects. Health authorities in the U.S. have confirmed that children and adolescents develop COVID-19 in an extremely mild manner, if at all.
A study also showed that up to 80 percent of children develop side effects that can lead to severe trauma. In the study, Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine was tested on 1,097 children and adolescents from 12 to 15 years of age. At least 866 experienced some form of unpleasant side effect – 466 were described as “mild,” 393 were “moderate” and seven were “severe.”
Australian officials have refused to support Novak Djokovic's visa in a move which again casts doubt on his participation in the Australian Open. Novak Djokovic faces an anxious wait to discover if he will be eligible to play at the Australian Open after Victorian officials refused to support his visa to enter the country despite being medically cleared to do so.
Djokovic, who is understood to be unvaccinated against Covid-19, announced on Tuesday that he had successfully received a medical exemption to play in this month's first Grand Slam event of the new year, where he is hoping to win his fourth-straight tournament in Melbourne and set a new all-time Grand Slam record in the process.
However, his participation is again in question according to a report by Australian publication The Age who state that the Serb - who has landed in the country - submitted an incorrect visa application.

For those of us who value liberty, these past two years have been a bad dream. It seems like we fell asleep in early 2020 and woke up in 1984! They said that if we just put on a mask and stayed home for two weeks, we’d be able to return to normal. The two weeks came and went and instead of going back to normal they added more restrictions. These past two years have been a story of moving goalposts and “experts” like Anthony Fauci constantly contradicting themselves.
Early on, in April 2020, I warned in an article titled “Next in Coronavirus Tyranny: Forced Vaccinations and ‘Digital Certificates,’” that the ultimate goal of the “two weeks” crowd was to force vaccines and a “vaccine passport” on Americans.
Sunday School was part of many children's lives. In the early ‘60s, one in seven children under 14 went every Sunday to listen to Bible stories, talk about God and learn Christian values. We put on our best clothes and headed off to join our friends in fellowship and safety. And in a place of love.
Sunday school began in the 18th century, when Englishman Robert Raikes created the idea of Sunday school for child workers of the Industrial Revolution. It was to give basic literary education to the children that worked in the mills and the factories and the mines, because the only day they had off work was Sunday. They wanted these children to read the Bible, but before they could read the Bible, they had to teach them how to read. So they created Sunday School.
To help “flatten the curve,” New Zealand’s Ministry of Health has decided to allow doctors to murder all Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) patients deemed unlikely to survive.
A new euthanasia law expands the criteria for receiving a lethal injection to those who test “positive” for the Fauci Flu with a fraudulent PCR test.
Reports indicate that people who are “suffering unbearably” from the “consequences” of covid are also now eligible for a lethal injection.
When asked for clarity about the new law, which came into effect last month, the New Zealand government stated that “in some circumstances, a person with Covid-19 may be eligible for assisted dying.”
