I wonder who the bigger apes are, those fighting or those looking on.

No wonder all these fighting going around us, yet it was discovered in USA that the great heat can effect the human brain and people start to fight. This was proven recently and this video also main the point very clear.

So “heat stress” is the net (overall) heat burden on the body from the combination of the body heat generated while working, environmental sources (air temperature, humidity, air movement, radiation from the sun or hot surfaces/sources) and clothing requirements. [Reference: 2008 TLVs and BEIs: Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents and Biological Exposure Indices.

Cincinnati, Ohio: American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, 2008. p. 217.] Other heat-related terms are at the end of a document which can be found on the internet or in the Glossary of Terms.

In foundries, steel mills, bakeries, smelters, supermarkets, beaches, glass factories, and furnaces, extremely hot or molten material is the main source of heat. In outdoor occupations, such as construction, road repair, open-pit mining and agriculture, summer sunshine is the main source of heat. In laundries, restaurant kitchens, and canneries, high humidity adds to the heat burden.

In all instances, the cause of heat stress is a working environment which can potentially overwhelm the body’s ability to deal with heat.

Nice society. I wonder what Malta will look like say in twenty years’ time.

The educated and the highly educated will leave to live in another country.

Dawn il-videos ghinuni nibda nifhem minfejn gew id-differenza ta’ 36,000 vot bejn iz-zewg partiti l-kbar fl-ahhar elezzjoni…

Tal-biza’, kif ukoll tal-biki ghal din Malta taghna. U la 10 Saviour Balzan u lanqas 10 Martin Sciclunas m’huma se jikkonvincuni li din l-attitudni u mgieba mill-aghar m’hix il-bazi tal-elettorat laburista.

Biex niccara ruhi (kif kultant ikollha taghmel Daphne), minix nghid li l-votanti laburisti jgibu ruhhom kollha hekk; lanqas li fost il-votanti nazzjonalisti m’hemmx min forsi jgib ruhu bl-istess mod. Qed nghid li fil-qalba taghhom (the core), huma l-laburisti li jgibu ruhhom b’dal mod umiljanti ghalihom u ghal pajjizna.

Daphne, have you ever heard of the Walmartians? Maybe we’re the Lidlputians.

[Daphne – Gosh, what memories. I remember receiving that video in real time from some Maltese people I know who were at the head of the crowd, getting into the spirit of things.]
