Boko Haram
See http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2014/12/boko-haram-kills-dozens-northeast-nigeria-201412188392926487.html . Yet again, the news is of senseless killings and captures by Boko Haram in Nigeria. Violence is not the way to win support for any cause: all it does is alienate innocent people. This is true everywhere: in Nigeria, Syria, USA, everywhere. All societies need to be fair to all.

FTSE 100 and Sepura shares
After losing ground over the last few days, the FTSE 100 share index has staged something of a recovery during the day. Sepura (SEPU) share also have edged upwards too. No way the FTSE 100 will end the year at 7000 mind you.
USA and Cuba
See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-30516740 .
After far too many years, it looks like Cuba and the USA are set to resume "normal relations". It has amazed me that this has taken so long. Like a pair of children squabbling. Both countries should benefit.
Obama and Castro met at Nelson Mandela's funeral.

Sunrise and sunset calculator
See http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunrise.html .
If you are like me, you want to know when the sun rises and sets locally. This calculator may be what you need. Here, near Cambridge, the nights start to get lighter from this coming Thursday (Dec 18th) although it is not until Jan 10th until the mornings start to get lighter.

Nearing the shortest day
As we approach the shortest day, we can soon look forward to lengthening days again. This morning, we awoke to a bright and spectacular sunrise. The late mornings don't bother me, but I am looking forward to lighter evenings.

Ebola news
See http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2014/12/survivors-cope-with-new-ebola-after-effects-2014121573521561384.html .
Even the survivors of Ebola are facing new issues including blindness. Worrying. The ebola outbreak, mainly in West Africa, seems to have gone out of the headlines.

Australian cafe siege ended
Thankfully the siege is over although innocents lost their lives.
We do well to remember that the world is full of good and kind people with hearts filled with kindness and forgiveness.
Sadly, a very few people know only evil.
