I have just had an engineers visit and a surprising explanation of what the network will be doing over the next few months.

Currently my set-top box is the size of a laptop. This is going to be replaced by a small box about 3x3x0.25 inches in the next few months.

It is all to do with advanced network fibre optic cabling.
I am told that all TV providers are doing the same.
In fact new Virgin customers are being supplied with the small box now.

Downside, the new small set-top box will NOT have a recording facility, all will be online viewing - no recording.

In my case, I then see no benefit whatsoever in paying Virgin for my TV service and will cancel my TV package with them and simply watch FreeView.

Progress ? Yes, in reverse !!

Tests will be sent again later this year

Well worth reading.

*Knowledge is key*
*What is the biological phenomenon that appears in human gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function when they are growing older?*
This is known as *Sarcopenia*!
*Sarcopenia* is a gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function... the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength as a result of aging... The situation may be terrible, depends on individual.
Let's explore & analyze multiple ways to prevent *sarcopenia* thus:
1. Develop the habit, if you're able to stand... just don't sit, and don't lie down if you can sit!
2. Whenever an elderly person falls ill, and get admitted to the hospital, do not ask him/her for more rest, or to lie down, relax and/or not get out of bed... It's not helpful. Help them take a walk... Except if they lost stamina to do so.
Lying down for a week causes loss of at least 5% of muscle mass! And unfortunately, the elderly can't recover the loss muscles!
Usually, most seniors/elderly who hire assistants loses muscle faster than the active ones!
3. *Sarcopenia* is more terrifying than osteoporosis!
With osteoporosis, one just need to be careful not to fall, while sarcopenia not only affects the quality of life but also causes high blood sugar due to insufficient muscle mass!
4. The fastest loss of muscles (atrophy) is through idleness in muscles of the legs...
Because when in sitting or lying position, the legs do not move, and the strength of the muscles of the legs are directly affected... This is especially important to pay unto utmost attention!
Going up and down stairs... walking, running and cycling are all great exercises, and can increase muscle mass!
For a better quality of life at old age... Move... & don't waste your muscles!!
Aging starts from the feet upwards!
Keep your legs active and strong!!
▪️ As we grow older on a daily basis, our feet should always stay active and strong.
If you don't move your legs for just 2 weeks, your real leg strength will decrease by 10 years.
Therefore, *regular exercises such as walking, cycling etc. are very important*.
The feet are a kind of columns that bear the entire weight of the human body.... So,
*_Walk every day!_*

When it is rubbish/recycling day, do you put your bins/boxes out late the night before or first thing in the morning?

While in office in 2020, Trump signed an executive order that effectively banned the use of the social media platform in the United States.

He's had a change of heart, since, however, and in March 2024, Trump reversed his position.

Trump now says that despite concerns over privacy and alleged Chinese spying, the First Amendment issues involved with banning the platform are "sweeping and troubling."

Who could possibly gain from this complete turnaround?

We do not have an Asda close by but, we visited one near Christmas and saw their incompetence in not providing staff ‘on the floor’ or at tills at the busiest times.

Ridiculous lengths of queues, for self service tills, no one available to assist customers who may have needed help packing or carrying shopping .

Workers rights bill and all he sees is that he might not be able to sh*stir down the pub 😂 in case it upsets bar staff?? So he says it’s about freedom of speech

At the top of the house the apples are laid in rows,
And the skylight lets the moonlight in, and those
Apples are deep-sea apples of green. There goes
A cloud on the moon in the autumn night.

A mouse in the wainscot scratches, and scratches, and then
There is no sound at the top of the house of men
Or mice; and the cloud is blown, and the moon again
Dapples the apples with deep-sea light.

They are lying in rows there, under the gloomy beams;
On the sagging floor; they gather the silver streams
Out of the moon, those moonlit apples of dreams,
And quiet is the steep stair under.

In the corridors under there is nothing but sleep.
And stiller than ever on orchard boughs they keep
Tryst with the moon, and deep is the silence, deep
On moon-washed apples of wonder.

Town Halls, including Richmond's, that set low Council Tax bills are to be "punished" by losing millions of pounds of funding, The Telegraph has revealed today.

New rules have been introduced by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, under which local authorities that set low council tax will receive less in government grants than those with high bills.

************************************************************************************** Her department has claimed that it would be wrong for the Government to "reward places that have been able to keep council tax levels low".
***************************************************************************************

It could mean that councils that run their areas more economically have to impose savage cuts to services.

Have you all noticed every newspaper likes to use the word "forced" in their headlines. Today it's "workers forced to pay a fee to get wages".
