St. Paul’s story is one of conversion, forgiveness and perseverance in the face of extreme intolerance, not unlike that faced by many Christians today. This dramatic retelling of his life can move the hearts of both believers and nonbelievers.

Is this the future ,as the government runs out of money that it can borrow by deficit from others ?

So what are the options ?

  • can we reduce the administration over head of the government  compliance system and use the savings to pay those front line workers who actually do the service work?
  • can we flat line the levels of compliance -do we really need 3 levels of Ministry health bureaucrats to disperse the funds ?
  • can we encourage better care by paying those that are doing the work or caring functions at home ?
  • can we reduce wage inflation , can we reward performance ?
  • can we use natural health processes to enhance health and well being ,
  • can we use technology to enhance health and well being or quality of life 
Can we stop the double dipping and hijacked programs such as home care in registered retirement facilities.

Is the crisis real or just another way to gouge more sympathy and funds from a caring but uninformed public . Will the fear generate solutions or force more funds into a less than perfect system of care?

"Axis of aging" mechanism uncovered in worms

"Axis of aging" mechanism uncovered in worms

The quest for a longer life unboxed   Brain -gut -intestine ?.
"One of these neurons is sensitive to cold, and when the temperature dips it responds by having the body release serotonin into the worm's gut. In turn, this signal boosts the activity of the protein DAF-16, which regulates aging and has been linked to increased longevity. The second neuron has the opposite effect. When it senses a temperature rise, it releases an insulin-like chemical into the gut, which blocks DAF-16 and reduces the worm's longevity."
