Video: The Mayfair Set – Decline of Political Power

This documentary is narrated from somewhat of an unrealistic leftist point of view.  However it does a good job of describing events and the players in the said events.

It is a series of videos detailing how people of action responded to the decline of British society due to socialist political impulses.  It also appears to be the first wave of globalization.

Video: The Handbook of Human Ownership – A manual for new tax farmers

A must watch for anyone whose head is turned on and aware of how the political system operates.

Hey — seriously – congratulations on your new political post!

If you are reading this, it means that you have ascended to the highest levels of government, so it's really, really important that you don't do or say anything stupid, and screw things up for the rest of us.

The first thing to remember is that you are a figurehead, about as relevant to the direction of the state as a hood ornament is to the direction of a car — but you are a very important distraction, the "smiling face" of the fist of power. So hold your nose, kiss the babies, and just think how good you would look on a stamp.

Now, before we go into your media responsibilities, you must understand the true history of political power, so you don't accidentally act on the naive idealism you are required to project to the general public.

The reality of political power is very simple: bad farmers own crops and livestock — good farmers own human beings…

Life Expectancy Table – The older your are the longer you will have lived

Life expectancy table

You can figure out the mean number of years you have left using this table.  It is interesting to note that if you are 50 you have a mean of 28.99 more years to live.  Whereas if you are 60 years old you have 20.92 years left.   So if you are 50 you will live to be 78.99 years old but if you are 60 you will live to be 80.92 years old. 

Thus the older you are the longer you will have lived.  So the secret of old age is to live a long time.

Blackberry 7290 – Change language setting to portuguese

Steps taken by Luizom

Installed the following package.  Originally installed with Brazilian Portuguese interface.  Later installed with English interface and still worked to load / change language interface.

Download Blackberry Desktop Version 
Software Name: Desktop Software v6.1.0 B34
File Name: 610_b034_multilanguage.exe
Download Size: 114.873 MB
Published Date:

Then later installed the HandHeld software. 

Detalles de descarga
Nombre de software: BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.1.0.556 (Multilanguage) 
Nombre de archivo: 7290M_PBrER4.1.0_rel556_PL1.8.0.154_A4.1.0.377_Telcel.exe
Idioma: Spanish
Fecha de publicación: 07/04/2007

Notes

  • It is a bit odd how the HandHeld software has to be "installed" rather than just having a file available for the DeskTop software to upload to the phone.
  • When I tried to install the HandHeld software then run it the execution stalled and the software could not see the phone when it was attached to USB port.  Subsequent restart fixed this issue
  • HandHeld package has various languages available for upload to the phone. Not only portuguese.
  • Stored on Green pen drive under blackberry.  Need to up the upload size limit and modify security policies for types allowed
  • Appears the second software ( TelCel ) is a device loader and it has the languages all by itself. Thus it may only be necessary to use it to load languages onto the phone
