The Sheer lack of concern regarding the scale of refinery fires is disappointing to say the least, the world as we know it is always battling news of what might be the next great addition to the ruining of the atmosphere we so direly need to sustain not just humanity but all life on earth, for far too long have we taking the earth for granted and for even longer the world as we know it is suffering the consequences of humanity merely existing, the new world and everything it has to offer includes the devastation of now just the immediate environment we choose to displace for our own needs but rather for the ruining what was once the epicenter for a multitude of living organisms, the displacement of numerous species by the fires, the floods, the deforestation is nothing to be ignored.

The oil refining we have created to establish a steady supply of fuel for the world is, by all means, fun and games till it isn't till there is a fire that by all other speculations reminds us of the gates of hell itself, a fire the likes of which a nation has never seen before and will take a tremendous effort to even get in control let alone completely recover from, yet the statements by those in charge is one of blatant disregard of sheer ignorance and a lack of sympathy for the ones displaced as well as for the ones bearing the brunt of the situation by putting their lives at risk while the ones with six figures checks get to sit on their high horses figuring out how to roll out the next huge compromised business plan to boost profits at the expense of the environment and those that might not have much, to begin with,

That is the story of the Balongan Refinery Fire a state-owned refinery under the Pertamina group of Indonesia. 

Indonesia fire: Oil Refinery in flames

The fire broke out at the Balongan refinery run by the state oil firm Pertamina at 00:45hrs local time on Monday,5 people inured and around 950 residents evacuated to safety, a handful of people reported missing, cause of the fire remains unclear, an eye witness stated: We smelled a strong fuel scent first, so strong that my nose hurt, while we heard lighting strikes 5 people are being treated for serious burns with another 15 with minor burns,  - regional disaster management agency.

The Balongan refinery is one of the nations largest and one of most crucial, it feeds fuel and petrochemicals to the greater Jakarta area, numerous calls for an answer as to how could such a massive incident occur in a state-owned refinery by the people as well as the opposition in the political atmosphere of Indonesia. Residents from nearby villages have been evacuated to several different camps with efforts being complicated by the ongoing covid 19 measures. Pertamina in a press conference stated that the fire has not damaged the refinery processing capabilities and the operations could hopefully return to normal in the next five days, The fire was focused on the refinery tanks with no damage to the processing plant stated by the CEO of Pertamina Nicke Widywati.

It further stated that it was shutting down the refinery and conducting oil flow control to prevent further spread of fire, Balongan refinery is located approximately 200km east of the capital on Indonesia Jakarta and measures atleast 340 hectares, and can process upwards of 125,000 barrels per day.

the suez canal incident

The incident that has the world talking, the incident that also has a lot of fingers being pointed and the blame being tossed around all over the place, but who is to blame, well if you look at the facts of the scenario the story is rather straightforward and does not have much room for speculation but as is true to all things people more often than not try to squeeze in logic and reasoning where there is little to no need of doing so, the case of the Ever given in the Suez canal is one such incident, no need to over speculate or bring in various theories that hold no accord considering the professionals have already laid down the realities of the situation. 

Here's the Briefing : 

what actually happened:  The ever given a 220k ton 400m long cargo vessel owned by Japanese firm Shoei Kisen kk got wedged between the two narrow banks off the Suez canal which is a single-lane stretch of the canal about 6km north of the southern entrance, 10 tugboats were deployed in an early attempt to dislodge the ship which is manned by an all Indian crew of 25 sailors, workers are deriding the banks and the seafloor near the vessels to try and get it afloat again as the high tide starts to go out, Egyptian authorities have banned the media to have access to the site hence why the story does have not have any boots on the ground reporting the white house said that it has the means and equipment that not a lot of nations might have and is working with Egypt to figure out how they can help.

A total of 200 vessels are waiting near the canal in what is termed as a traffic jam near the canal opening with another 100 ships currently en route to the canal for passing, with each hour passing by upwards of 400million  is being lost, the ship was sailing from China to Rotterdam when it ran around, Panama flagged cargo ship has become wedged across the Suez canal and is blocking vital waterway for global trade, The reason is thought to be strong winds upwards of 40knots and a sandstorm that caused low visibility and poor navigation. and not manual or mechanical error thereby bringing a sigh of relief to the crew.

people since the get-go figured something out and as time progressed we figured out that even though a lot of us evolved for the betterment of the planet a lot of us went backward and then got us to a point in time wherein we started to doubt basic concepts. I fail to understand that certain normal concepts that are accepted throughout the globe and that science has progressed with and the evidence of which is backed by proof while video and experimental evidence is prevalent for the same dictating that there is no room for speculation of it being anything other way than what is just general knowledge at this point. we still continue to have this debate.

Consider the following as briefing points: 

The essence of the argument is mute considering there are a few people within the belief system about the earth being flat who state that it's just the earth that is flat and the rest of the planets in our solar system are all round, that's plainly absurd.

The rotation of these celestial bodies makes things spherical, the centrifugal forces at play draw in all the components into its gravitational fields and draws it closer to the proverbial surface that's grade 8 science.

The lunar eclipse cannot be explained if the earth is flat, considering the shadow of the earth is on the moon and if the earth was flat you should get a band or something instead of a shadow that shows various types of moons in the night sky with due respect to the positions of the earth, every angle from the sphere gives us spherical shadows whereas a disc only could give a spherical shadow if the light from the sun was in front of it.

The difference-maker, the ground shaker, the tank buster, the hog from hell a lot of the same names to a truly infamous aircraft, one for the ages if you will one that is held its own for upwards of 3 decades and still continues to be in service to this day, this is a nod to one of the greatest if not the greatest aircraft in military history, the A-10 Warthog has without a doubt saved countless lives, provided much-needed support in close quarters when it matters most, taken a beating but given one back 10 folds and has truly carved its spot in the history of the most effect manmade equipment ever.

The essence of the military is molded by the relationship cultivated between its personnel and a relationship that is cherished the most is between ground troops and the warthog, calling upon it for support when it mattered most to ensuring that the playing field along with everything in it is leveled.

The following are a few combat specs of the infamous warplane!

A-10 warthog the difference-maker, close combat aircraft best for the support for ground troops, famous and prioritized with the military's as they trust it for its potential.

The twin-engine design above the aircraft is designed to take fire from the ground, Vietnam was a wake-up call for the Airforce that it will need a close-quarters fixed-wing aircraft, close air support: air action by fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, in close combat. Warthogs are the most famous analog-based fixed aircraft, a tank buster with a huge gun mounted to the front of it. GE TF34 engine - 9000pound feet of thrust, interchangeable parts from left to right to make easy maneuvering.

Humanity and its long-lasting battle against fats have been one for the ages but there was a time wherein fats were cherished for everything they stood for, even labeled as the epitome of beauty and luxury of class and upstanding rather than today where it is frowned upon and fat people are considered to be the irrational part of society, the essence of the new world by no means is one that is lost but instead is one that throughout the ages has modified and turned into a new spectrum of acceptance, what once was by no means is the standards for the 21st century, we as a civilization are ever-evolving and if we don’t pertain to the medieval thought process some would argue that is a good thing leading to the new age and shift in the movement on humanity itself towards what is the inevitable future.  

But as much as aesthetic appeals matter does fat really cause us to harm in the long game, or is it like a lot of other things that get a bad name through the years and a tag that we all have learned to hate considering how much we adore our physical representation today,  Fat & Why We Hate It!  Since the conception of mankind, we have wanted to be rather fit initially for survival but as time progressed it became about the aesthetic value of things. fat is life, however - evolutionary biology clearly dictates back in the day it was dictated as the epicenter of beauty whereas today it is dictated as unappealing. mammals needed fat to survive in a way it is the epicenter of food storage, fat tissue - primary purpose adipocytes(fat cells) triglyceride chemical substance is the reason we store fat - chemical terms fat.  

 Glycerol three fatty acid chains and the burning of fat is the center for stored sources including heat and burning of fat is usually common, constant burning of fat is bad for your body but fat from mammals especially whales was used to light lamps back in the day.  Fat burns in the Kerbs cycle 94-95 - ppar gamma master gene of fat -  DNA binding factor was the first of its kind to create fat, cloning, and identification of leptin the hormone that lets the brain talk to fat. fat is an organ that is actively talking to the muscle to the brain and lets the organs know what is the level of energy stored. leptin is the reason for turning on hormonal changes to kick in survival instincts, interwoven network of the body is all interconnected. humans are specially adapted to be fat, average primate 5-8% body fat hunter gathered - 1-25 fat for females 10-15 fat for males. period of development - a childhood that no other organism has, diabetes and the questions with fat - first time in billions of years wherein we can be in positive energy balance in for years, the amount of energy expended was never in positive when it came to hunting-gathering.  

Agriculture termed that more energy reserved could be persevered but the energy expended was limited, industrial revolution  - mechanism of food made everything more accessible and work by machines means that the essence of energy expense was minimized, inactivity is the epicenter of diabetes.  Insulin is blocked by obesity cause the blood sugar level will not be affected as much as insulin is being blocked, overflowing of fat makes it go and attach to various organs ectopic deposition is the reason for resistance to insulin.

Rohingya troubles continue, as the world battles the pandemic the people living in makeshift camps that were once living in their own homes are facing adversity like never before, the camps being set ablaze time and time again with the odds being stacked against them every single step of the way, the Rohingya just want to sustain themselves and live and survive and maybe eventually even thrive, but looking at the sheer scale at which adversity seems to make its way across to them leaves them fighting for survival than anything else, in the middle of a pandemic imagine if your home as set ablaze and you could do nothing but to stand aside and watch it burn along with anything that you might have cherish as a prized possession, now imagine you had to leave your entire house entire nation set up a makeshift house in another country all together all through a pandemic finally having some stability or glimpse that of and right then, a fire burns everything to the ground, this is the reality that the Rohingya are living with today and by no means is this an isolated situation for them, awareness is key and for the Rohingya it just might be the difference between life and death.

The UNCHR is on the ground along with other humanitarian organizations but not enough awareness means not enough donations and not enough funds to keep the efforts to provide immediate relief to the best of your abilities from keeping on, spread the world and you'll be saving a life that's assured.

A massive fire swept through a Rohingya refugee camp in southern Bangladesh destroying homes and killing several people, in the worst-hit blaze that the settlement had seen in years, fire services and rescue and response units are at the scene trying to contain the fire and rescue as many as they can be stated by the un refugee agency UNCHR. A refugee that managed to escape the fires stated that dozens could have been dead inside as the fences around the camp made it very difficult to escape, those that weren't able to scale those fences didn't have any means to get out as the fire was spreading at a drastic pace, medical facilities are not enough in the region as burns require sophisticated treatment and most of the region's hospitals are being overwhelmed with covid cases, people injured risk being exposed to the rise or risk infection to their burns if not treated properly.

UNCHR stated that humanitarian partners had mobilized hundreds of volunteers from nearby camps for the support operations as well as fire safety vehicles and equipment to aid the responders.

Stay Aware, Stay safe.. Stay You.

The world we live in throws us constant reminders of how we are just pawns in the game and the bigger picture was one painted before us and will contiunue to be painted long after humanity, the sheer forces at play here when it comes to the essence of the new world are testimont to how miniscule we truly are, how we as a civilization can be taken out with one sweep of mother nature, with the cards being stacked against us as a species there is only so much we can do before forces that are larger than our contemplation take over and leave us with nothing but scraps of our former societies to pick up from and start off yet again, but not until some day where in there is nothing left for us to salvage, the floods across the globe are a brutal reminder that water being more of a commotidity today than ever before, being the epicenter of our need to survive is not just a force to be reckoned with but is rather one of the most dreadful sights to be witnessed when it is enraged, the flooding of numerous areas across the globe with little to no warnings or even if there was ample of pre existing warnings in place do little to no good comapred to the sheer sacle of the damage done by mere water, is without a doubt the most fear inducing sight. A lot of the people at the receiving end of it often remember that very moment edged into their minds for as long as they survive…

Japan has been the epicenter of a lot of seismic activity over the year that has had dreadful consequences, despite numerous attempts at garnering safety protocols in place there is only so much a nation can do against the forces of mother nature herself, Japan being an island nation is well versed in the threats presented by the ocean yet a positive impression of the ocean lies abundant amongst the people as the ocean is the sole reason for the prospering the Japanese people through generations,  the essence of the new world is one that is forever embossed in the traits of the past,

A Massive 7.2 magnitude earthquake shakes Japan, tsunami warning issues,

Buildings in Tokyo shook and a nationwide tsunami warning was issued particularly on the northeast coast

us geological survey stated the magnitude was 7.2

the USGS said the epicenter was 34 km east of Ishinomaki at a depth of 60km

The kyudo news agency said its epicenter was off the coast Miyagi prefecture which was heavily damaged during the huge earthquake and tsunami of 2011 which affected hundreds of thousands of people,

Stay curious, stay safe...Stay you.

The rise in seismic activities is without a shadow of a doubt causing some serious ramping up of volcanic activity across the globe, with numerous nations facing the brunt of the rise in global temperatures and seismic activities we are at the mere mercy of nature itself to live in a time and a place were in we aren't tossed into the deep end of handing numerous eruptions simultaneously.

Iceland - a volcano south of the captal Reykjavik has erupted  the ripping open a fissure about 500-700meters long 

but why now, well rising seismic activity has been obeserved throughout teh globe, and in iceland alone in the past 3 weeks 40k earthquakes were opbserved, mere hours prior to the eruption a magnitude 3.1 earthwuae was recorded 1.4 km from the volcano itself,

iceland is the epicenter for numerous quakes and volcanic activity as it saddles on two tectonic plates which are drifting in opposite directions,

In response, Mr yang accused Washington of using its military might and financial supremacy to suppress other countries its abuses so-called notions of national security to obstruct normal trade exchanges and incite some countries to instead attack china

Mr yang about Xinjiang said that human rights in us were at an all-time low with black Americans being slaughtered.
