February 3, ABC television Breakfast and Morning News run a short news report on a recent Australian National University study, on stated 7890 adults, on how too many hours working per week in employment and household tasks, allowing for child care, effects human: depression; suicide and other mental illnesses. The study did not include school aged children and/or teenagers, which I argue would have been a 90% major consideration on how human brains: feels; memorises; behaves during and after working hours.

Having read a few Internet website samples, published data seems to reach an overall employment work hours limit of 39 hours, suggesting allowances for differences between male/female gender specific domestic tasks, altering employment hours worked weekly limits before depression, work exhaustion becomes an issue.
I theorise, because most adults work more than 39 hours, perform domestic tasks, plus travel to and from work... was this study created as evidence to redirect adult mental health issues solely onto the number of employment hours worked rather than school education? Being that the study was carried out by a government education department curriculum set university.

No doubt work hours being a popular reading for adult workers, being that readers work, yet comments are not broad in detail, no real new discoveries workers didn't already realise.

Good question maybe are schools and universities run by management staff similar to that of false and redirecting information supplying banks?

Alcohol consumption must be a major consideration as alcohol is a depressant, next morning hangovers. After employees have finished each day's weekday employment, how much alternative activities used to distract employment stress/fatigue build up, left over from the night before hangover, is spent with friends (dancing, pub craws) under the influences of alcohol and/or drugs.

Data came from more women than men aged from 24 to 64. Prier ages to aged 24 years, are where most problems begin and lead to older aged problems. During younger ages than 24 years, once type of employment is chosen workers are generally stuck with their employment choice. That 13 years students spent in classrooms was very much about working the working class to turn up at school every school day and work to what teachers told students to do. If students weren't working, students merely sit and wait for a teacher to tell them what to do. Adults reading news stories to be told what to believe.

I could theorise many employment tasks are far less mentally stressful and less boring which could be blamed for depression than non employment tasks and entertainments, exampling last resort (physically resting) television stories can be very boring to watch, having 1/3 commercials, which can partly be responsible for mental illnesses, which for television and other nothing better to do reasons, why many workers don't wish to retire.

The idea of a “Men's Shed” is about work. The idea about me spending considerable time typing out what I consider to be thought provoking readings is about easy to perform work.

…...........................

When media report such news, beginning with some short statistical evidence, suddenly listeners and readers are fed some one or two personal story(s). I find one off story examples: hurried; quick flashing scenes; obvious; inconclusive; personal beliefs; expressing emotional distress; too simple to be of value. Often there are no follow up conclusions, exampling big noise bank inquiries.

Journalists are more event reporters using good English gramma skills, reporting “as it happens” scripted by spin doctor dramas. Adam from Adam Ruins Everything, while doing movie stars' dress choices, had a short segment on “reality shows” script writer demonstrated how he chose spoken lines from a book, indicating spoken insults were scripted.

A point that the day after an extremely hot day, media announce data that 2016 was the hottest day on record, can indicate by the timing, that stories are fabricated

Merely watching sports during weekends, anticipation with bursts of enthusiasm, induces endorphins rewarding feelings in the brain, leading to exhausting/depleting brain's pituitary gland's feel good chemical endorphins. Manufactured by (pea size) pituitary gland's number of chemicals referred to as endorphins... I speculate human attempts to induce above normal emotional bias “fun” levels of endorphins, creates bipolar fun-character-behaviour happiness knee-jerk reaction behavioural addictions. I googled “endorphins cause mental depression” to find one of my own “My steve9” readings, posted (not by me) as a googled bottom of the first page reading:

If the university study was a question A to F study, the study is limited to whoever formulated the study to suit their own biased results. If the human subjects under study were not a true percentage types of money earning work: farmers; steel workers; taxi cab drivers; fast food workers; council workers... the study is worthless. The fact that important ages 5 to 23 years were excluded from the study suggests quick responding judgemental propaganda-like conclusions on depression and mental illness towards blaming adult aged long hours employment.

On that same February 3, morning, following ABC News Morning, “One Plus One” had Margaret Court express in parts of her interview how she was over worked, becoming depressed, convinced her to take up religion. That religion placed her on a different track, of a calmer behaviour, (I am not promoting religion):
http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/one-plus-one/NU1741H001S00

Unless humans subjects under study were meditating in their spare time under no self-medicating influences, that all work employment tasks were represented in percentage terms. A large number of people participating in the study was not important.

I suggest the study is almost not worth mentioning, unless extensive details are included, in what employment was most undesirable, yet as a quick news worthy item, extensive details are not mentioned, only selected poorly detailed “more than 39 hours of employment work leads to depression and other mental illnesses”.

If such studies are worthless, than monitoring global temperatures to determine whether overall global temperatures are increasing. I suggest that as most collected temperatures are monitored within city and town boundary limits, as housing and roads increase: roof top tiles and black tar road surfaces; increasing road traffic delays' to and from employment, motor vehicle hot exhaust gases made worse during no windy days, will destroy any real comparison data with previous decades of collected data temperatures. 2016 may have been the highest collected data on temperatures on recorded history, while actual Earth temperatures could be falling.

My personal theory could be that Earth oceans are solely responsible for Earth's temperature. Without oceans, Earth's temperature would be that of the moon, believed 125C. That only air temperatures not humidity blowing off oceans should indicate to average curios people whether Earth's temperature is rising. If too many winds blow in from deserts, and/or from northern oceans, average recorded temperatures will no doubt rise.

An extra hot day experienced more than 2 weeks ago on the east coast of NSW. Day after, media announced data on 2016 being the hottest year ever recorded. I heard a relevant related comment that previously collected data on locations showing below 40 degree freezing temperatures were now recording below 10 degree temperatures. Data was said to be supplied by NASA and temperature stations across the world.

I accuse NASA of being a big liar on far away space probes, seeing a NASA spokes person woman jumping up and down with childish enthusiasm as evidence that a space probe on an asteroid travelling at extremely fast speeds, space probe being millions of miles away from Earth's radio communication magnetic field reduced Sun charged particle barrier, space probes affected by millions of miles between radio wave receivers and transmitters. The Sun's charged particle radio noise, destroying weak radio transmissions, weaker still by the time radio waves reach Earth, which I say having technically understood radio wave receiving, radio waves will not reach earth... existed. The fairy tales most technically ignorant gullible people will believe.

Donald Trump's statement “an education system flushed with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge”.

When educated adults eventually read real correctly detailed knowledge, knowledge is quickly ignored because previously forced on school students' incorrectly provided knowledge, messing with hurried students sense of caring curiosity, as the establishment's purpose of school was to punish students for having child-like curiosity. The depth human curiosity merely extends to headline comments to both acknowledging and providing information, relying no some idea that everyone concerned will understand what was meant.

I bring reader's attention to weekdays Monday February 6, ABC Media Watch, devoted to fake news.
http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s4615275.htm

Host Paul Barry devotes his attention to Internet posts, exampling several posters whom post outrageous fake facts.

What directs me to type up a reading is that Paul Barry backed up claims that fake post readers read what they want to read, what they want believe; that even after fake stories are exposed, traces of belief remain in people memories.

Paul Barry suggest people should select more main stream media for truthful stories.

Paul Barry by accusing non-main steam of faking stories, adds credibility to main stream media, particularly the ABC. Acting out the good guy by exposing bad guys.

I suggest the difference is that Internet fake posters don't have the influence to get politicians and other famous people to act out dysfunctional, bad reflection on built up image behaviours and scenes to allow media to report such news, which reader/watchers of news are so keen to read and/or see.

My accusations of fake news are exampled in federal and USA presidential politics. The popularity of leaders is most often described by how Donald Trump won the presidential election. Even though electioneering poles and political commentators had Trump losing, Trump won the election. Donald Trump makes better entertaining outrageous headline news than slow to respond rehearsed Hillary Clinton.

To describe alternative professions for federal parliament front bench politicians, I recommend horse race, race calling. To see Malcolm Turnbull stand up during question time and rant using short one line statements strung together as though Malcolm was calling a horse race, accusing the opposition of while they were in office, they failed to fund whatever item the question was asked. By the end of ranting, indicating the liberal party is the race winner. Malcolm Turnbull is merely an example, in that all past prime ministers to my memory ranted on at race-call speeds adding to listeners excitement portraying leadership to those whom need feel decisions before believing what's wanted to be believed, in question time, is the separation between parties and political process.
