Caution is less expensive that risk…
A few things to do one of the major things that could happen to you is your credit cards and debit cards may not be available for a time, so you may want to accommodate that with currency.
Good luck 🍀
You are alright, 👌 Don’t doubt it. Even if you’re off right now, you don’t have to deny it. However, you should apologize it to your own psyche saying “I’m a normal person and my responses to this point is normal.”
Take care of yourself by seeking support if it’s interference is creating habits that are unhealthy. And once again remembering that you’re most likely having a normal response to a stimulus.

This is a great starting point for an informative piece. To help you structure this, I have gathered the most current data for 2026.Global oil production has reached record levels recently, but the market is currently in a state of “oversupply,” meaning more oil is being produced than the world is actually using.
As of early 2026, total global production of “liquid fuels” (which includes crude oil, condensates, and biofuels) is approximately 107 to 108 million barrels per day (b/d). To put that in perspective, a single “barrel” is 42 gallons (159 liters). The world is essentially producing enough oil every day to fill over 6,800 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
The “division” of oil production is usually viewed through two lenses: by organization and by country.By Organization (The Power Blocs) * Non-OPEC+ Countries (The Growth Leaders): This group, led by the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Guyana, now produces the majority of the world’s oil (roughly 60-65%). These countries have driven most of the recent supply growth. * OPEC+ (The Quota Managers): This group (led by Saudi Arabia and Russia) accounts for about 46% of global production. They often try to limit their production to keep prices from falling too low.By Country (The Top 5 Producers)The “Big Three” (USA, Saudi Arabia, and Russia) dominate the market, together producing about one-third of the world’s total supply.| Rank | Country | Approx. Daily Production (2025/2026) |
United States | ~20.9 Million b/d | ~20% || 2 | Saudi Arabia | ~11.1 Million b/d | ~11% || 3 | Russia | ~10.7 Million b/d | ~10% || 4 | Canada | ~5.8 Million b/d | ~6% || 5 | China | ~5.2 Million b/d | ~5% |>
While Venezuela has the world’s largest reserves (oil in the ground), its actual production is currently less than 1 million barrels per day due to political instability and infrastructure issues.>
* The Oversupply Gap: Production is currently outstripping demand by about 2 to 3 million barrels per day. This has caused oil prices to drop significantly (Brent crude is currently hovering around $60/barrel). * New Players:
Countries like Guyana are seeing massive growth, moving from zero production a few years ago to nearly 1 million barrels per day in 2026.Next Steps for Your WritingSince you asked “how it is divided up,” are you planning to write about the geopolitics (who has the power) or the logistics (how the oil physically moves from producers to consumers)?

Political shift is in somewhat in vogue at this moment. It comes on the heels of a worldwide pandemic and a lot of difficulty over warming. Take everything with a grain of salt. However, statistics are valuable when you consider context. K

The “search the landfills” controversy in Manitoba, Canada, is a significant and painful issue surrounding the missing remains of murdered Indigenous women.
The controversy centers on the Prairie Green Landfill north of Winnipeg, where the remains of several Indigenous women, victims of serial killer Jeremy Skibicki, are believed to have been dumped. * The Victims: The remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran are believed to be in the landfill. A third victim, Rebecca Contois, had partial remains found at a different landfill, and the remains of a fourth victim, an unidentified woman known as Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe (Buffalo Woman), have not been found. * Initial Refusal: Family members and Indigenous leaders advocated strongly and publicly for a search of the Prairie Green Landfill. However, the provincial government at the time, and the Winnipeg police, initially refused to conduct a full search, citing safety concerns due to hazardous materials (like asbestos) and the high cost and complexity of sifting through massive amounts of toxic debris. * Political Shift and Search: The refusal was met with outrage and became a major issue in the 2023 Manitoba provincial election. The New Democratic Party, led by Wab Kinew, campaigned on a promise to fund the search if elected. After winning, the new provincial government, along with the federal government, committed tens of millions of dollars to the search effort. * The Search Begins: The humanitarian search began in December 2024. In the following months, possible human remains were found and one set was identified as belonging to Morgan Harris. The search for Marcedes Myran continues. This development, while bringing grief, provided validation for the families’ tireless fight.
The entire controversy is a microcosm of the systemic issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People (MMIWG2S+) in Canada, and the perceived systemic failure by police and government to adequately investigate and prioritize these cases.
Feeling safe is a fundamental right. While no single set of tips can guarantee safety, practicing situational awareness and setting boundaries are key.Increase Awareness and Trust Your Intuition * Be Alert: Limit distractions like excessive phone use. Keep your head up, remain alert, and pay attention to your surroundings—who is around you, and what behavior seems out of place? * Trust Your Gut: Your “sixth sense” or intuition is a powerful self-defense tool. If a person, place, or situation feels wrong or unsafe, leave immediately. It is never rude to prioritize your safety. * Project Confidence: Walk with purpose and confidence, and make eye contact. Predators often target those who appear distracted or vulnerable.Planning and Technology *
When going out, let a trusted person know your itinerary, including who you’re with, where you are going, and approximately when you expect to be home. Check in with them when you arrive and leave. * Share Your Location: Use your smartphone’s features to ping or share your real-time location with trusted friends or family. * Self-Defense Tools: Consider carrying a personal safety alarm or whistle. The sound is disorienting to an attacker and draws attention. * In Transit: When walking, stick to well-lit, busy streets. If driving, keep your doors locked and look inside your car, especially the back seat, before getting in.
Practice asserting your boundaries with firm body language and a clear voice. You have the right to refuse anything that makes you uncomfortable, whether it’s unwanted attention or pressure to go somewhere.
If you’re out with friends, stick together. Watch your drinks at all times, or use protective covers. If you feel unsafe or notice an escalation, immediately seek help from a bartender, bouncer, or staff member.
Trusted friends are a great value
Ostriches are raised for meat, feathers and eggs and are commercial. However these bunch of hostages in the news of late were going away from that and we’re used for tourism. Coming endeared to some keepers. Wouldn’t have been, if it was just for meat.
This is a very serious condition that affects foul and gets into people it can be fatal to people and the closer they are the bigger population areas and more of a risk.
The cull that was ordered by the authorities has been stayed and there may be a presentation between the parties at the Supreme Court of Canada and there is a controversy over testing the remaining birds, 300 out of a possible 450 that had contacted the avian flu and are under scrutiny.
The virus involved is H5N1, and could be a particularly concern at the start of the flu season and respiratory illness that could accompany it.
British Columbia is experiencing some heat warnings, for some good advice from emergency BC, I’ll put the link. Just below on the site.
Recent Texas flooding brings memory to the forefront.
Flash floods are among the deadliest natural hazards worldwide, responsible for a significant number of deaths and substantial economic losses. Their sudden onset leaves very little time for warnings, making them particularly dangerous. Climate change, rapid urbanization, and land-use changes are contributing to an increase in their frequency and intensity.
Here’s a breakdown of flash flood statistics:
Global Statistics (relevant to developing world)
* Fatalities: Flash floods cause over 5,000 deaths annually worldwide and account for 85% of all flood-related fatalities.
* Economic Losses: They result in economic losses exceeding $50 billion annually.
* Mortality Rate: Flash floods have the highest mortality rate among different classes of flooding (e.g., riverine, coastal).
* Developing World Impact: In tropical countries, as high as 90% of deaths from flash floods are due to drowning from rapidly rising waters. Developing countries often have limited infrastructure and early warning systems, making their populations more vulnerable.
* Examples:
* In 2022, flash floods in Pakistan killed over 1,700 people and displaced millions.
* When Hurricane Mitch struck Central America in 1998, it caused over 11,000 casualties and destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes due to flash floods, floods, landslides, and mudslides.
* From 1990 to 2022, floods recorded in 168 countries affected over 3.2 billion people, caused 218,353 deaths, and resulted in over $1.3 trillion in economic losses.
* China was the most affected country in terms of population (1.9 billion) and economic damage ($442 billion), and the second largest in deaths (30,890).
* India had the second largest population affected (629 million) and the largest number of deaths (46,506).
United States
* Fatalities: Flooding has caused an average of more than 125 deaths per year in the United States over the past few decades, with flash floods being the nation’s top storm-related killer.
* Recent Events:
* In July 2025, devastating flash floods across the Hill Country in central Texas left a staggering trail of destruction and claimed at least 120 lives (as of July 9, 2025), with many more unaccounted for.
* Hurricane Helene (September 2024) caused about 250 deaths, many due to massive inland flooding.
* Eastern Kentucky floods in 2022 led to 45 deaths.
* Hurricane Harvey (2017) caused over 300,000 structures to be damaged and an estimated $125 billion in damage, with nearly all deaths attributed to freshwater flooding.
* Overall Disasters (1980-2024): The U.S. has experienced 403 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters, claiming nearly 17,000 lives and resulting in more than $2.9 trillion in direct costs. The frequency and cost of these disasters have increased dramatically.
* The average number of billion-dollar disasters per year has grown from about three in the 1980s to 19 in the last 10 years.
* 2023 and 2024 shattered previous records with 28 and 27 billion-dollar disasters, respectively.
* Circumstance of Fatalities: 63% of flood-related fatalities are associated with vehicles.
Canada
* Costliest Natural Disaster: Flooding is the costliest natural disaster for Canadians.
* Frequency: Floods occur five times as often as wildfires in Canada. Between 1900 and 2005, there were 241 flood disasters. Statistics show the number of floods has almost tripled from the 1960s to the 1970s and continues to rise.
* Recent Events:
* In July 2024, torrential rain and flash floods in Toronto and southern Ontario caused over $940 million in insured damage.
* The 2024 year is already the costliest in terms of catastrophic weather-related insurance payouts, surpassing the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire, with one life lost during the four largest weather catastrophes (wildfires, hail, floods) in the summer of 2024.
* The 2013 Alberta floods are considered the costliest natural disaster in Canada’s history.
* Historical Fatalities:
* Hurricane Hazel in October 1954 caused flooding in Toronto, resulting in more than 80 deaths and severe damage.
* The 2021 British Columbia floods, a once-in-500-year event, swallowed highways, washed away bridges, cut off railroads, and led to at least four deaths.
* In 1950, the Winnipeg flood affected one-sixth of the city, evacuating over 100,000 people and costing about $126 million (adjusted for 2020), damaging 10,500 homes.
These statistics highlight the escalating threat of flash floods globally and regionally, emphasizing the urgent need for improved early warning systems, resilient infrastructure, and adaptation strategies in the face of a changing climate.
May the recent flash flood in Texas be seen as a going forward opportunity rather than catastrophic loss doing no one some good.
