Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries are scheduled to attend Canada's largest arms fair next week.

@ICJPalestine and @AdvocatesJust have filed a legal complaint with @CanBorder, calling for representatives of these companies to be denied entry to Canada. This is why. 🧵
In a briefing last year, Amnesty International identified both Elbit Systems and IAI as "contributing to Israel's unlawful occupation, genocide or other crimes under international law." /2

amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
According to data from Who Profits, Elbit Systems' Hermes 450 drone is responsible for approximately 20% of Israeli targeted killings in Gaza between October 2023 and May 2025, including the April 1, 2024 strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers in Deir al-Balah.

Jacob Flickinger, a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces who volunteered with World Central Kitchen, was among those killed in that attack. /3

🚨 BREAKING: Claude just changed how job applications work.

Here are 10 Claude prompts to turn any JD into a winning application👇

[Mandatory Bookmark] Image
1. Break down what actually matters in the JD.

Most people skim job descriptions.
Top candidates reverse-engineer them.

Use this prompt to extract exactly what recruiters are looking for 👇

Prompt:

“Act as a recruiter. Analyze this job description and extract:
• key skills required (technical + soft skills)
• core responsibilities (day-to-day expectations)
• hiring intent (what problem they’re solving)
• must-use keywords for ATS optimization
• traits of a standout candidate

Present everything in a clean, structured table. JD: [paste]”

Result:

→ You get a recruiter-level breakdown of the role
→ Clear keywords to include in your CV
→ Exact skills and outcomes to highlight
→ A deeper understanding of what the company actually wants

Now you’re not guessing you’re aligning your entire application with their expectations.
2. Turn your CV into a perfect match for the role.

A generic CV gets ignored.
A tailored CV gets interviews.

Use this prompt to align your experience exactly with what the company is looking for 👇

Prompt:

“Rewrite my CV for this job without adding or inventing any information.
Improve the professional summary, refine experience bullet points, and optimize the skills section.

Use ATS-friendly keywords from the job description, make each bullet role-specific, and focus on measurable impact and outcomes wherever possible.

Ensure clarity, strong action verbs, and a clean, modern structure.

CV: [paste]

Result:

→ A fully tailored CV aligned with the job requirements
→ Strong, impact-driven bullet points instead of generic tasks
→ Better ATS match with the right keywords included
→ A sharper, more professional narrative of your experience

Now your CV doesn’t just list what you did it shows why you’re the right hire.

I STUDIED 50 PEOPLE WHO SEEM "LUCKY" IN LIFE.

None of them journal. Or wake at 5am. Or have a "system."

But They All Do These 12 Things Religiously:

1. They don't wait for the weekend to live. Image

1. They don't wait for the weekend to live.

They treat a random Tuesday with the same potential for joy as a Saturday. They find small ways to celebrate the everyday-a nice lunch, a walk in the park, a call with a friend.
2. They tell stories, not facts.

They don't just share information; they share experiences. People remember them because they make everything feel like an adventure, not a transaction.

How to permanently drop your CORTISOL (backed by 20+ years coaching executives)
7 nervous system resets I use:

1. Define your 'enough.'
Most executives can't tell you what 'enough' actually looks like — sleep, income, performance.

The number is always moving. Your body knows the goalpost just shifted.

Cortisol stays elevated because no win ever feels finished.

You can't down-regulate a system that's never allowed to arrive.Image
2. Close one open loop in 48 hours.

Pick ONE decision you've been deferring. The hard email. The conversation. The 'I'll think about it.'

Every open tab = a baseline cortisol vote your nervous system keeps casting.

The decision matters less than ending the carry.

This is long, but it's the ultimate framework to get rid of a candida overgrowth.

You see, more people than ever are struggling with candida overgrowths and suffering from symptoms such as:

-Kidney problems.
-Intense sugar cravings.
-Skin issues.
-Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, white coating on the tongue or gas (especially after eating carbs).
-Developing more and more food intolerances. -Brain fog
-Blood sugar regulation issues.
-Athlete’s foot, toenail fungus, jock itch, oral thrush, bad breath, acne and eczema.
-Chronic fatigue.
-Frequent infections.
-Leaky gut.

and much more as a consequence.

Yet most of them never truly resolve it and it's no wonder why.

Most people use the wrong supplements, neglect key mechanisms that keep candida in check by default and in general, follow highly ineffective roadmaps.

So here’s the BEST approach that can actually help you manage a candida overgrowth.

We will discuss:

-Common signs of candida overgrowth
-Tests you can take
-What Candida even is
-The most common causes in order to finally determine the main ones that are driving your overgrowth
-How to address each one in the most efficient way possible
-Common mistakes to avoid
-Breakdown of the most helpful supplements in this journey

and more.

*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*

It's George.

First, some potential signs and symptoms of Candida overgrowth include:
-Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, white coating on the tongue or gas (especially after eating carbs).
-Brain fog that, even though it might sound weird, it’s very similar to a low-grade hangover (since it releases acetaldehyde) which is experienced once again, especially after eating carbs.
-Blood sugar regulation issues.
-Intense sugar cravings.
-Athlete’s foot, toenail fungus, jock itch, oral thrush, bad breath, acne and eczema.
-Chronic fatigue.
-Frequent infections.
-Leaky gut.
-Developing more and more food intolerances.

Now, how can a candida overgrowth lead to these symptoms?

Here are some basic explanations.

First, it disrupts the balance of gut microbiota, reducing beneficial bacteria.

This leads to fermentation of undigested carbohydrates, producing gas and bloating by 2–3-fold as most studies suggest.

It also secretes aspartyl proteases and phospholipases, damaging the mucosal bilayer which can lead to bloating and general discomfort.

When it comes to the oral cavity, it forms biofilms creating a white coating on the tongue.

Then, it metabolizes sugars via fermentation, producing acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct that crosses the blood-brain barrier and impairs neuronal function, causing brain fog, confusion, and a “hangover-like” feeling.

In animal models for example, candida-induced inflammation reduced cognitive clarity by 30%. Candida also consumes glucose for growth and biofilm formation, causing fluctuations in blood sugar levels, especially after high-carb meals.

In diabetic patients for example, an ovegrowth led to a 2-fold increase in insulin resistance.

Regarding sugar cravings, candida albicans thrives on glucose and its overgrowth may signal the host to consume more sugars throygh gut-brain axis modulation of hormones that control our appetite such as ghrelin.

Many studies show that a Candida overgrowth increased sugar cravings and ghrelin levels in 20–30% of patients.

Fatigue-wise, candida overgrowth triggers cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α, causing systemic inflammation that disrupts energy metabolism, the acetaldehyde impairs mitochondrial function, reducing ATP production, biofilms and mucosal damage impair nutrient absorption (especially when it comes to B vitamins and iron), which are critical for energy production.

Then, candida overgrowth overwhelms mucosal immunity, reducing IgA and phagocytic activity, increasing susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections.

And finally when it comes to effects such as developing a leaky gut and food intolerances, the overgrowth degrades tight junction proteins such as occludin and ZO-1 (it’s shown to reduce ZO-1 expression by 40%), increasing intestinal permeability allowing toxins and antigens to leak into the bloodstream triggering immune responses and food intolerances (Candida-induced leaky gut has shown to lead to a 30% increase in food intolerances).Image

Now for the people who might be unaware of what candida even is, candida is a genus of yeast that includes close to 200 species not all of which are pathogenic.

These organisms are naturally found in and on the human body, particularly in the skin, nasal passages, digestive tract (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine etc) and female reproductive system.

In small amounts, Candida species are typically harmless and may even play beneficial roles in the gut microbiome.

However, an overgrowth of certain pathogenic species, particularly Candida albicans, can lead to infections known as candidiasis, ranging from superficial issues like oral thrush to life-threatening systemic infections.

What’s also worth knowing from the get-go, is that candida albicans is a dimorphic fungus, existing in two primary forms:

-Yeast form: Single, oval-shaped cells ideal for dissemination through the bloodstream.

-Hyphal form: Elongated, thread-like filaments that facilitate tissue invasion and adherence to host cells.

This yeast-to-hypha transition is a major virulence factor, regulated by environmental cues like temperature (37°C favors hyphae), pH, CO2 levels, and nutrient availability.

Key transcription factors, such as Efg1 and Ace2, and signaling pathways like cAMP-PKA and MAPK, orchestrate this process.Image

Marwaris don’t become rich because they earn more.

They become rich because their entire family behaves like a private equity fund.

12 hidden rules of India’s richest community you have never noticed 👇🏻
1. Marwaris don’t think like individuals.
They think like a capital network.

Every family member becomes:
• a contact
• a distribution channel
• a backup system
• a trust layer
• a future business opportunity

Each member have separate economic strategy.
2. Middle class families celebrate spending milestones.
• Bought a BMW.
• Shifted to a luxury flat.
• International Vacation

Marwari families celebrate ownership milestones.
• Bought another shop.
• Added inventory.
• Acquired land.

@BaldingsWorld China has one goal, to export everything they can make….which will weaken everyone else and make them stronger…..we have help set the trap, now we see if we are smart enough to remove ourselves from it.
@BaldingsWorld A note from a good friend yesterday…..I have a project I am working on……

“Btw interesting fact - Chinese investors discount (auto parts) suppliers that do business with western car companies in China. They think most will be gone from China in near future.”
We also talked about our mutual “friend” who we know well…..who is one of the people chosen to drive certain Chinese car companies into Western Europe. USA educated, ultimately ran the China division for a large US tech/manufacturing company (sectors from auto to defense)…..now making deals with Stellantis, VW, Ford, etc to use their “extra” capacity in Europe to build Chinese brands. I had dinner with him a year ago in Detroit, he told me “give me a year and you will see Chinese cars built in Western European plants…..the government needs the employment and will help us push it”.

6 words. That's all you need to ask about anything in Arabic.
What. Why. Where. When. How. How much.
Learn these 6 and you'll never be stuck in silence again. Gulf dialect. The version people actually use.
"Shoo" (شو) = what.
The most useful word in Gulf Arabic. You can attach it to almost anything.

"Shoo haadha?" (شو هذا؟) = what is this?
"Shoo tabi?" (شو تبي؟) = what do you want?
"Shoo sawwait?" (شو سويت؟) = what did you do?
"Shoo sar?" (شو صار؟) = what happened?
"Shoo ra'yak?" (شو رأيك؟) = what's your opinion?
One word. Five different questions. You'll hear "shoo" twenty times a day in the UAE.
"Laish" (ليش) = why.
Short. Direct. No extras needed.

"Laish ta'akhkhart?" (ليش تأخرت؟) = why were you late? "Laish ma yait?" (ليش ما ييت؟) = why didn't you come? "Laish chidhii?" (ليش جذي؟) = why like this?
In textbooks it's "limaadha" (لماذا). Nobody says that in real life. In the Gulf, it's "laish." Always.

Germany's goods and services surplus has collapsed, and its surplus is now down to 2.5% of its GDP -- about half the level of China's far larger economy

1/ Image
Germany unlike China does report that its accumulated surpluses have generated an investment income surplus -- and China's reported deficit by all accounts (even that of the IMF, which grades China on a very generous curve) makes no sense

2/ Image
I have criticized Germany for overly restrictive budgeting and excess surpluses in the past -- but fiscal has changed (thanks to the defense budget) and the surplus has fallen substantially ...
