Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

"Hello, my name is David. I look forward to living in Lajamanu with you. I look forward to teaching you next year, so you achieve your dreams"
Here is the translation into Warlpiri:
"Ngaju, ngaju David. Ngaju nyampu Lajamanu-rlangu nyinaja yapa-kurlu. Ngaju ngurra-jarrimi nyampu yapa-ku karlipa-jarrija nyampu kiwirrkirli, kajika nyuntu palya-jarrimi nyampu ngurrju-warnu-ku."
Please note:
• "Ngaju" is used for both "Hello" and "I am" in this context, which is common in Warlpiri greetings.
• "Lajamanu-rlangu" indicates "in Lajamanu."
• "Yapa-kurlu" means "with people."
• "Ngurra-jarrimi" means "I look forward" or "I anticipate."
• "Kiwirrkirli" means "next year."
• "Palya-jarrimi" implies "you achieve" or "you become good at."
• "Ngurrju-warnu-ku" means "for your dreams" or "for your aspirations."
This translation is a basic attempt to convey the meaning in Warlpiri, but keep in mind that language nuances, particularly in terms of kinship, respect, and context, might ...
Grok has it that ‘Mary Wollstonecraft was a British writer, philosopher, and one of the earliest advocates for women's rights, born on April 27, 1759, in Spitalfields, London. She is best known for her work "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" (1792), where she argued for the education and equality of women, asserting that women are not naturally inferior to men but only appear so due to a lack of education.
However, that description is misleading in several aspects. Her work on the 'Rights of Woman' is now recognized as arguing for education and equality, but it was written to contradict Talleyrand’s report to the French National Assembly (1791), in which he asserted that women did not need education. Her book was a sequel to "A Vindication of the Rights of Men" (1790), which itself was a response to Edmund Burke’s "Reflections on the Revolution in France." Burke had written that the revolution was not similar to Britain’s glorious revolution but rather akin to Britain's civil war. Burke viewed it as an overthrow of a ...
Wind Power: Power generation with invisible costs
How Wind Power works
Historically, wind power is older than writing or culture. It was used to power ships from ancient times, or mills for grinding food. Hammurabi’s Codex circa 1750 BC refers to mills doing mechanical work. Netherlands is famous for her Windmills which drained lowlands of water. Nowadays wind turbines may be off shore (very big) or, on shore.
What wind power generates (profit)
A wind turbine has a rating, but that is a maximum output for its’ power, which practically will not be achieved
A turbine cannot safely produce energy in wind speeds below 25 kph and above 88 kph
The local weather gives a rating (%) for effective use of a turbine, typically between 30 and 50% of output
Eg a 1.5 MW operating at 25% efficiency can produce 1500 x 0.25 x 365 x 24 = 3, 285, 000 kWH a year. This assumes 24 hour a day availability which does not happen.
2 million kWH in Victoria averages $560,000 at $0.28 per kWH per year
A lifetime (20 year) return would...
