16.01.2022 The humble item Merv is holding in this picture is called a Red Light Helmet. It’s used to treat Parkinson’s Disease. The Dorset Community Men's Shed started ma...king them last year and they have now sold nearly 700 to 16 different countries. People have reported reductions in tremors, regained fine motor movements, regained mobility, regained smell, cessation of tinnitus among many of the benefits from this wonderful invention. The Shed sells them for $300 each and you can place your orders with Merv at [email protected] Read more here https://www.google.com.au/a/amp.abc.net.au/article/10836906

13.01.2022 TEACHER FAILS ENTIRE CLASS:An economics professor made a statement that she had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class.That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on this plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an ...A....(Substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the third test rolled around, the average was an F.As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
