URSABLOG: Freedom or Death

Xi Jinping’s visit to Russia this week made a powerful statement to the west. Despite hopes that President Xi would nominate himself as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine following his largely pointless peace plan, it became quickly clear that he is tying Russia closer to China’s contra-containment strategy. It is perhaps ironic that although…

URSABLOG: I Am Blessed And Honoured

I am blessed and honoured to once again be writing this blog. After so much pain and struggle, laughter and tears, joy and frustration over the last two weeks, I am back again. It was a cruel and bitter time for me, an empty and desolate fortnight, when my life held no meaning, no aim…

URSABLOG: Footprints on the Sands of Time

This week’s URSABLOG is written by Dionysios Tsilioris, Research Analyst at URSA Shipbrokers. As a child, I was given as a gift a documentary on a VHS tape about the Arecibo Observatory. Built during the high of the Cold War and the missile frenzy of the 1960s, the observatory was owned and operated by the…

A couple of the guys were playing with the new ChatGTP platform and decided to put my question there. I…

URSABLOG: To Be Or To Do?

Actions have consequences, and those consequences, or reactions, change the world, often in surprising and unexpected ways. Whether we act on the spur of the moment or after long consideration, pondering the likely outcomes of one decision or the other, once the deed is done it is out of our hands. Power and force do…

URSABLOG: Chemical Imbalance

We have been here before, albeit well before human life was even a twinkle in the eye of Mother Nature. Between 251.941 ± 0.037 and 251.880 ± 0.031 million years ago – at the end of the Permian geologic period – 57% of biological families, 83% of genera, 81% of marine species, 70% of terrestrial…

URSABLOG: Family Fortunes

The announcement that the population of China has fallen for the first time since the famine of the Great Leap Forward was long expected, but still made big news. Whether you welcome it or worry about it, or don’t bother about it at all, it will affect us all one way or the other, sooner…
