847 medical personnel were killed between March 2011 and the end of December 2017.

767 of the killings were committed by Syrian government and allied forces (686 by Syrian
government forces, one by Russian forces, and 80 by either Russian or Syrian government
forces), 48 by non-state armed groups (28 by IS, 20 by opposition groups), seven by
international coalition forces, three by Kurdish forces, and 22 by unknown forces.
57 percent of deaths were caused by shelling and bombing, 21 percent by shooting, 12 percent by
torture, and 7 percent by execution.

As John indicated 2.5 million are now targets.
As seen before press civilians into the cauldron.

Furthermore, while Idlib was the location to which families fled from violence, there's no place else to go to escape Idlib.

[quote="Higgenbotham"]Summary of last week's gambling operations:

Other edge of the window as noted. Very complicated times H.
I was reading the bermuda triangle of europe as in the balkanization disaster and the
social mobility of capitalism which is the last vestige of sanity.
Americans are slow on the uptake what this midterm actually is.
As we witness this hour in the fullness of time in His garden.

History punctures perception.

[Higgenbotham]

I doubt I'll play the turn window so long as the market is bounded. I'll continue trying to land punches early in round 1, stagger 'em, then quickly leave the ring. Though I might switch to quick shorts after the turn window, depending.

Who runs things? Answer is in the video.

The reality is the top 0.1% move the world forward while the top 2% (minus the top 0.1%) run the world and move it backwards.

[Higgenbotham]

Someone at the 98th percentile in intelligence looks at average people (possibly people they supervise) and thinks they're dumber than a box of fucking rocks.

Someone at the 99.99th percentile in intelligence looks at the people at the 98th percentile and thinks they're dumber than a box of fucking rocks.

Group 1. There are roughly 150 million people in the United States who are above average in intelligence (IQ of average person is roughly 100). Worker bees.

Group 2. There are roughly 6 million people in the United States at the 98th percentile and above (IQ at 98th percentile is roughly 130). Managers.

Group 3. There are only 30,000 people at the 99.99th percentile and above (IQ at 99.99th percentile is roughly 160). Outsiders who are the only people capable of moving the world forward.

The ratio of the first group to the second group is 25 to 1. The ratio of the second group to the third group is 200 to 1. Meanwhile, the gaps in intelligence between the groups are roughly equal.

Due to the ratio, the second group can easily control the first group. However, the low number of highly intelligent people does not allow them to control the second group. The second group runs amok.

[Higgenbotham]

End result.

A person in the top 2% enters an organization in a management trainee role. There are many others like him or her. There is much camaraderie and mutual understanding. The person works hard. The person is rewarded, advances and runs things.

A person in the top 0.01% enters an organization in a management trainee role. There are no other people like him or her. Fellow trainees think their colleague is a bit weird. The person works hard. Others can see the person is more capable and sabotage. The person leaves the organization. The organization eventually collapses.

A father I know was talking about his 2 daughters (fraternal twins). One falls into the first category above and the other into the second. He stated that the first one is "smart enough" to make it anywhere, while the second one has "no common sense." He is correct, but the world civilization doesn't survive without making proper use of the second one.

Truman and Einstein. Who followed Truman's order to drop the atomic bombs? Somebody. Who listened to Einstein? Nobody.

This sounds like something related to the Peter Principle.

[Higgenbotham]

Today's "work" was $203 in 29 minutes. I've left the ring until tomorrow.

[Higgenbotham]

I think there's an additional factor since The Peter Principle was written - jobs at all levels have become more complex. Over the past 30 years, it's become harder for a person at the 98th percentile to be effective in a technical job.

The point is H the three trade rule applies to the three levels you discuss.
Forty years ago self professed genius got fired insulting calm introverts as how do you keep morons
in suspense. He got his reward in Gods time.
On another note waiting for the EPA to fine the Volcano that just released 200,000 years of SO2 emissions.

Yes Sir The log function was 99.95 certain to be this way.
Brazil has twenty five percent of the remaining water to be polite in
difficult hands. I watched a 8840 John Deer explode since they do not have the ability
to tune it. I referenced the spike as we sell our excess equipment to competency.
As I conveyed that sensor will not cost you four days production.
The best cost basis locally is 100 to 175 hp.
The cost factor on redesign now is 2x on sound equipment price.
The first paper from the 1974 paper from Mr. Harold Vance
was linear function cost analysis which in concept was non linear
as we know in Pareto functions we seen coming.
4 is not a function 4K in relation ship to 40K as we lightly discussed here.
To unpack what was factored as the 40000 acre outfit modeled mapped the comprehensive
failure. The mid point reference was from a Gentleman who is deceased retired from the
Bank who incidentally was after our property we found out later. This reality was in relationship to
policy we discussed in context to Kissinger's and Volkner action. This does not even cover 2 percent of the
analysis. Excuse please typos kinda tired today and lot to cover as you know.
