| One gloved Queen leaves hospital last week |
Tonight Prince Charles appears as guest editor on the BBC's Countryfile, urging "harmony with nature", and asking viewers to look to the future in terms of the "kind of world we hand on to our successors". (here)
Tomorrow being the second Monday of March, it is Commonwealth Day. I know that because my boy has a note from school asking him to wear training shoes as a "symbolic gesture of support for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2014" and because H.M. Queen is scheduled to, in a live televised broadcast, "back an historic pledge to promote gay rights and gender equality" in what is being termed a "21st century Commonwealth Magna Carta". (here)

Meanwhile, last week, the BBC reported of how Google has offered a 20 million dollar bounty to the first private company to land a robot on the moon and thus progress "exploitation of new frontiers by mining their minerals". (here)

The Queen's nurse's belt buckle is a design using the Mason's symbol next to 5-pointed star.
Also her uniform looks a bit like a Rangers strip :)
cheers
Thanks Moon, I will try to get a close up and add. Re Rangers, note flute playing Orangeman, Paul Gascoigne, "back from the dead" after rehab in Arizona (Phoenix).

I think you hit the proverbial nail-on-the head with this...
"Our governments and bankers are a waste of space but perhaps it was created to be that way, so we can have an orchestrated "revolution". Whilst the same characters who really run the show, will stay running the show from behind the scenes. The future appears clear, a New Eden with new "Gods" and an eco-minded human population, no doubt drastically reduced in number."

Just bang in - Queen's Nurse's belt buckle.
Phoenix sits on the 33rd parallel.
Paul's been around - not only Rangers but Lazio of Rome, throw in the Tottenham Jewish connexion and we may imagine him a bringer-togetherer of many faiths, now conjoined to rise again.
Re: ' drastically reduced in number." - today there's this:
'The danger posed by growing resistance to antibiotics should be ranked along with terrorism on a list of threats to the nation, the government's chief medical officer for England has said.
"Professor Dame Sally Davies described it as a "ticking time bomb".
She warned that routine operations could become deadly in just 20 years if we lose the ability to fight infection.
Dame Sally urged the government to raise the issue during next month's G8 Summit in London.
Dame Sally said: "If we don't take action, then we may all be back in an almost 19th Century environment where infections kill us as a result of routine operations. We won't be able to do a lot of our cancer treatments or organ transplants."
And with that we revert to some of the imagery of the Olympic Opening."

Marie, thanks, much appreciated. One wondered just how they will reduce population but who really knows whats in children's vaccinations, for example.
Moon, have got snap, will add shortly. Paul G - never thought about that, spot on. In the papers today it claims he was buying Calpol (children's medicine)in bulk as he thought it was alcohol, which it is not. Does not make much sense really.
Note too that Cardinal O'B was a staunch "objector" to homosexuality - yet he dabbbled, whilst the "Queen's" new charter welcomes it. See previous posts in that regard.

Argentine Pope a couple of days after the Falkland Referendum
