Disseminators of the No More Memes

Let’s face it - the quality of posts on Disseminators of the Truth has declined over the 8+ years we’ve been around and yet here we are. This is why November 2018 will end with us being inducted into the Sick Phoque Club. We’re not the blog we were in 2010 and the daily posts are just becoming nothing more than a common chore. Sometimes, I have been skipping a day and doing two posts the next day. But that is not the blog I want to run - I want the Disseminators of the Truth of old back. This way, the posts will have substance like they did in the first half of the decade. I, Melissa Eilish Laureline Isabelle Simone Sarah Amelia Jade Amber Desiree Emily Healy (and yes, that is the full name I picked out for myself), resolve to turn this blog around before it becomes Disseminators of the Shit.

THIS IS MY PROMISE TO YOU:

We Will Make Disseminators of the Truth Strong Again.

We Will Make Disseminators of the Truth Wealthy Again.

We Will Make Disseminators of the Truth Proud Again.

We Will Make Disseminators of the Truth Safe Again.

And, Yes, We Will Make Disseminators of the Truth Great Again.

Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless Disseminators of the Truth.

New metrics for the metric system

The Systeme Internationale before the redefinition: Dependence of base unit definitions on other base units (for example, the metre is defined in terms of the distance travelled by light in a specific fraction of a  second), with the constants of nature and artefacts used to define them (such as the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram for the kilogram).

The SI system after the redefinition: Dependence of base unit definitions on physical constants with fixed numerical values and on other base units that are derived from the same set of constants.

The new definitions will come into effect next year.

Blue victory in derby

Manchester United lost their game against City 3-1, with the Reds' only goal being Martial's penalty in the second half and City scoring through Silva, Agüero, and Gündogan. This is why they've gone through three different managers right up to what would have been the final season of Moyes' original deal. We can only imagine how much worse it could have been if he was allowed to stay on.

Finally upgraded after 7 years with the 4S

And I’m using the new phone (an iPhone 5S running iOS 12) to type this post. As version 12 will likely be the last one to be released for the 5S, I do plan to upgrade again in the future. My iPhone journey began in November of 2009 with a white 3GS, with upgrades to the 4 in 2010 and the 4S in 2011. In hindsight, it would have been cheaper to just hold onto the 3GS until support ended in 2013, and then go straight to 5S, and then in 2019 to whatever models come out, all the while putting away NZ$10 a week and consistently ending up with more than enough come upgrade day.

Cherries massacred by Red Devils

Manchester United won their match against Bournemouth AFC today, with Wilson opening the scoring for the home side at the 11th minute, and Martial and Rashford, the latter of whom is 21 this week, scoring the Reds' goals. This victory over the Cherries has pushed the Reds up to 7th on the Premiership table, but more remains to be done so I suggest they better get to it.

And still nothing from the coroner

We have made our decision on who October 2018's inductees into the Sick Phoque Club will be - the Victorian Coroners Court. And here's why: Four years after 18-year-old Sommer Warren died giving birth, her mother Leisa Scammell is still waiting for answers about what went wrong. Chaos in the Victorian Coroners Court has meant the coronial investigation has only just been reassigned to a new coroner, days after current affairs program 7.30 inquired about the matter. Ms Scammell had just marked four years since her daughter's death and grandson's birth. Warren presented to Goulburn Valley Health in Shepparton in October 2014, nine days past her due date. In the days between her expected delivery date and her death, she had called the hospital five times and presented four times asking to give birth. In desperation, she had also sought advice from a private obstetrician, Dr Ruary MacKenzie, who detected elevated blood pressure and recommended the hospital deliver her baby immediately. Despite this, the hospital did not induce Ms Warren until five days later. Ms Warren's baby Lincoln survived the birth. And it's taken the coroners four years. The coroners investigating Dolores O'Riordan's death only needed six months to finish their inquest.
