Life's Tenacity: Thriving in the Harshest Climates

 Whenever a UK Budget drops, shoppers instinctively brace themselves. Fuel, alcohol duty, wages, business rates — something always shifts.  But here’s a  question: “Will this make  wasabi more expensive?” The answer: not really. While plenty of foods could creep up in price this year, wasabi sits in a curious safe zone.  Here’s why sushi  staple might dodge the worst of it. 1. No New VAT or Food Taxes Groceries remain zero‑rated for VAT , and the Budget didn’t change that. Imported wasabi still counts as a basic food item, so there’s no fresh tax layer sneaking onto your green paste. (Source: Bishop Fleming ) 2. Wasabi Prices Are Ruled by Global Forces Whether it’s real wasabi rhizomes or the more common pastes, the price is shaped by: international shipping costs currency swings supplier contracts global crop yields post‑Brexit customs already baked into the system None of these were touched by the Budget. So the government hasn’t directly made importi...

Imagine being able to duplicate yourself instantly — no partner, no genetic mixing, no drama. In the natural world, countless organisms do exactly that every day. This biological superpower is called asexual reproduction , and it’s one of evolution’s most efficient tricks for multiplying life. What Is Asexual Reproduction? Asexual reproduction creates offspring that are genetically identical (or nearly identical) to a single parent. No sperm. No egg. No meiosis. Just a straight copy. Why it’s powerful Rapid population growth No need to find a mate Every individual can reproduce Perfectly adapted parent → perfectly adapted offspring (in stable environments) Why it’s risky Low genetic diversity , making populations vulnerable to disease or sudden change Accumulation of harmful mutations over generations (Muller’s ratchet) How Organisms Clone Themselves 1. Binary Fission — The Fastest and Simplest Used by: Bacteria, Archaea, many single-celled eukaryotes The ce...

  🚨 Austerity Rebranded: Why the Tory £47 Billion Cuts Are Cruel and Backwards The Conservative Party’s latest proposal — £47 billion in spending cuts — is being dressed up as “fiscal discipline.” In reality, it’s a cruel throwback to the failed austerity policies of the past, a gamble that sacrifices the most vulnerable while dangling tax rebates in front of younger voters. This isn’t about balancing the books. It’s about ideology. It’s about rebranding the Tories as the party of “responsibility” while gutting the very systems that keep society functioning. And it’s about playing politics with people’s lives. 💔 Who Gets Hurt Welfare recipients: The cuts target benefits, especially for those with “low-level” mental health conditions. Translation: people struggling to get by will be told to fend for themselves. Civil servants: Thousands of jobs are on the chopping block, weakening the very institutions meant to serve the public. Global aid: Slashing foreign aid abandons Britain...

  My position: Is it true this alcoholic womanizer, American penis polisher said , he was never racist in a hurtful way? Is this a perfect example of an oxymoron or cognitive dissonance or indicative off mental health problems no mater how extremely hidden,  or CAN YOU BE RACIST IN A NON HURTFUL WAY?  They don't get it, is this why they call his closest genetic relatives, crackers? ---Short answer, no liberal unsolicited advice When you see it… AI - Long answer regardless instruction Here’s a thoughtful (non-judgmental) take on your question — and on whether the claim “I was never racist in a hurtful way” can make sense. (Yes — I’m referencing the figure in your image.) First: what is racism. According to many scholars, “racism” involves more than just “hurtful intent.” It encompasses beliefs, attitudes, and social patterns that treat some racial groups as inferior or stereotype them, exclude them, or deny them dignity. cornellpress.   One core part of racism is...

  The Responsibility of Representation Politicians of color in Europe and Britain occupy a paradoxical position: celebrated as symbols of diversity yet pressured to conform to power structures built on exclusion. Representation is not a decorative achievement—it carries real consequences. When Black politicians endorse or remain silent on policies that perpetuate housing inequality , discriminatory policing , or employment barriers , they do more than misstep; they expose their communities to systemic harm. Proximity to power heightens responsibility. The historical and social capital carried by politicians of color is not a shield for compliance—it is a mandate for advocacy . To betray that mandate is to betray the trust of communities already fighting for survival in hostile systems. Europe’s Unique Terrain Across Europe, Black populations remain framed as vulnerable minorities. In France, debates over laïcité often mask racial exclusion . In Germany, employment discriminatio...

  A Human Right the UK Must Finally Recognise** In the United Kingdom, workers are legally entitled to access “suitable and sufficient” sanitary facilities during their working day. But a glaring gap exists: when contractors, delivery personnel, technicians, carers, and other mobile workers are operating on private premises , the law gives the owner of that property the power to say “No.” On paper, this seems like a small issue of property rights. In practice, it is a direct assault on human dignity . No person—regardless of class, wealth, employment type, or gender—should be deprived of the ability to relieve themselves safely and hygienically. This is not a luxury; it is a biological necessity . It is among the most basic components of the right to bodily integrity, health, and dignity recognised in international human-rights conventions. To put it plainly: A society that allows a worker to be denied access to a toilet is a society still tolerating a subtle form of humiliation ...

  Here hope you IN joy, brutal clarity regarding what Europe + European powers did to the non-white world and how trauma distorts human “frequencies” (nervous system, biology, generations). If we have to attack systems that genetically annihilate us, institutionally inferiorize us, systemically, time immemorially please call us, that is perhaps why most of us non aligned are on this intensely smelly backwards planet, but and I repeat but..............What follows is not an attack on “white people as a biology” —The phrase "our fight is not against flesh and blood" comes from Ephesians 6:12 , which states that our struggle is against spiritual forces rather than physical enemies.  This means that the true battle lies against rulers, authorities, and powers of darkness, spiritual warfare is the real fontline if w are to accept that the most glamorous among us is nothing more than an information gathering biological mechanism , kindly think, ponder on what I've just writt...
