Really would like to see Buck go - at 71 he has -presided over total and utter shareholder wealth destruction.His snout has been in the trough for far too long imo.He is now 71.
He earned £76k for y/e March '17 and IF £96k.Ford needs a reduced wage to reflect the minimal nature of his part time duties too.

They will have to come clean soon though as the next round of fund raising draws closer.

We need a webinar and a clear roadmap of where we are going.

Shareholder apathy reigns suprem hence the total contempt we are held in.

More about Air Pollution and cognition on bbc website today.


Although obviously probably have no immediate effect on SP,it is worth remembering that fruitflow can reduce effects of air pollution by about a third.

"Air pollution causes a “huge” reduction in intelligence, according to new research, indicating that the damage to society of toxic air is far deeper than the well-known impacts on physical health.

The research was conducted in China but is relevant across the world, with 95% of the global population breathing unsafe air. It found that high pollution levels led to significant drops in test scores in language and arithmetic, with the average impact equivalent to having lost a year of the person’s education.

“Polluted air can cause everyone to reduce their level of education by one year, which is huge,” said Xi Chen at Yale School of Public Health in the US, a member of the research team. “But we know the effect is worse for the elderly, especially those over 64, and for men, and for those with low education. If we calculate [the loss] for those, it may be a few years of education.
Previous research has found that air pollution harms cognitive performance in students, but this is the first to examine people of all ages and the difference between men and women.

The damage in intelligence was worst for those over 64 years old, with serious consequences, said Chen: “We usually make the most critical financial decisions in old age.” Rebecca Daniels, from the UK public health charity Medact, said: “This report’s findings are extremely worrying.”

Air pollution causes seven million premature deaths a year but the harm to people’s mental abilities is less well known. A recent study found toxic air was linked to “extremely high mortality” in people with mental disorders and earlier work linked it to increased mental illness in children, while another analysis found those living near busy roads had an increased risk of dementia.

The new work, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, analysed language and arithmetic tests conducted as part of the China Family Panel Studies on 20,000 people across the nation between 2010 and 2014. The scientists compared the test results with records of nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide pollution.

They found the longer people were exposed to dirty air, the bigger the damage to intelligence, with language ability more harmed than mathematical ability and men more harmed than women. The researchers said this may result from differences in how male and female brains work.

Derrick Ho, at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, said the impact of air pollution on cognition was important and his group had similar preliminary findings in their work. “It is because high air pollution can potentially be associated with oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration of humans,” he said.

Chen said air pollution was most likely to be the cause of the loss of intelligence, rather than simply being a correlation. The study followed the same individuals as air pollution varied from one year to the next, meaning that many other possible causal factors such as genetic differences are automatically accounted for.

The scientists also accounted for the gradual decline in cognition seen as people age and ruled out people being more impatient or uncooperative during tests when pollution was high.

Air pollution was seen to have a short-term impact on intelligence as well and Chen said this could have important consequences, for example for students who have to take crucial entrance exams on polluted days.

“But there is no shortcut to solve this issue,” he said. “Governments really need to take concrete measures to reduce air pollution. That may benefit human capital, which is one of the most important driving forces of economic growth.” In China, air pollution is declining but remains three times above World Health Organisation (WHO) limits.

According to the WHO, 20 of the world’s most polluted cities are in developing countries. China, home to several of those cities, has been engaged in a “war against pollution” for the past five years".etc

LibraG - understood.To be frank until such time as a materially important deal is done there is really nothing to discuss anyway.Captain Mainwaring on the red channel is back to micro analysing trades - that has done him a fat lot of good over the past 9 years!!!

[librag] 24/8/2018 10:34

RP, any content of any response is a win for the bot.
Don't worry, I'll still try to talk with you occasionally. :)

[redprince] 24/8/2018 09:34

Beyond sad.Thank goodness for the filter function.

More importantly still no news from China.
They will have to mention this in the year end report due soon but my guess is it will be a brief reference to some unforeseen delays and that will be it.

Simply put I do not believe we are any closer to a lucrative deal than ever.The prospective pipeline means very little at this stage.

Talking to yourself again lafin?No one is listening to you.

Btw I am fairly sure that the trade of 20 million was a negotiated trade where an order was filled.

[lafin] 24/8/2018 08:51

But I accept I will probably never know who made it or why.Nor do i actually need to.
There was an ALGO trade recently too.They are even more interesting.

[lafin] 24/8/2018 08:39

I think the 20million trade is a lot more interesting than petty squabbles based on
nothing but lies and imagination- if you can call it that.

[twodegrees] 23/8/2018 17:50

nice 20 million + buy

[redprince] 23/8/2018 16:09

Well said henry - you certainly speek for me and a few other guys who have invested substantial amounts in here and are sick of glib comments from people who have next to nothing at stake here.

[lafin] 23/8/2018 12:00

Henry is probably Peppapig,LibraG-read through it's posts.
See what it typed about you .
It likes to think it is clever and it can't even spell lolcat.
and and and ad infinitum.

[librag] 23/8/2018 10:06

Henry; any chance I can put you on my Xmas card list?
Well said, though I'm not sure AI is too bothered.
GL.

Straw-clutcher alert: CNKS on the bid, volume recently higher than usual. L2 looking good.

[horridhenry] 23/8/2018 09:00

lollcat

It is time you shut the f up, and showed some respect for those investors that are realistic about the prospects of ever getting their very substantial sums of money back.

Rather than pathetically sniping at fellow investors, and spouting nonsense, if you really feel the need to comment, then argue the facts, and give an opinion

You are a very unpleasant creature, lurking about, with no purpose or point, and bring nothing to this poor situation

STOP ANNOYING EVERYONE HERE.

There is plenty of other on line media where you can be unpleasant, and meaningless to people

[lafin] 22/8/2018 13:31

Interesting choice of words.

[lafin] 20/8/2018 20:46

Start one then but please don't call it that!!
Call it Provexis 2018 or something sensible.

[rich1952] 20/8/2018 19:44

This thread is called Provexis: a new beginning. This is a totally inappropriate title for the current state we find ourselves in.

Perhaps it's time to start a new thread "how much longer will this crock last?"

lafin - I have you on filter so don't waste your time trying to communicate with me.
Thank you.

[lafin] 20/8/2018 13:42

gixer,
Yes I knew that thanks.
IMO that sort of thing is what is keeping share price down at the moment.


redprince,
you are typing about something else.
Both gixer and I were typing about the market

you don't seem to realise that OR you are copying LibraG's trick of deliberately being obtuse.
I suspect the former.

[redprince] 20/8/2018 13:18

I could be wrong but it looks like the market is of the same view as I am here.
The only thing that we can expect with any degree of certainty is yet another placing.

I am sure attendees at this year's agm will be told that the pipeline is at record levels and get a chance to meet some of DB's digital marketing buddies and various other paid associates.

Pxs the only company that you can invest your money in and be virtually guaranteed to be kept in the dark all year every year.
