Look @BNCB of @LloydsofLondon the cricket players have arrived!😀
Best get those matches in while you can:
Cricket is one of the sports most affected by flooding and extreme heat caused by the #ClimateCrisis. 😬
Do it for the 🏏if not for the kids!

Fact 16: Akkadian (Babylonian, Assyrian) cuneiform and Japanese writing system have surprisingly many common features. In this short thread we’ll show some of them. #AdventCalendar
Basics of Akkadian & Japanese
- both mix logograms (word signs) & phonetic signs
- both write syllables, not invidual sounds
-…but neither is purely syllabic, often you need two signs for one syllable
- both have signs which can be read in more than one way, depending on context

-…but neither is purely syllabic, often you need two signs for one syllable

And why? Basically, because Japanese and Akkadian speakers both borrowed their writing system from a people speaking a completely different language, Japanese from Chinese and Akkadian from Sumerian, both being the first written languages in the area.
This year we have prepared a special #adventcalendar to share with you in the lead up to Christmas - 24 days to explore the 24 knights that feature on the Round Table that hangs in the Great Hall.
Behind door number 1 is Sir Galahallt (Sir Galahad) positioned next to King Arthur

Galahad is the son of Sir Lancelot & best known for his involvement in the Quest for the Holy Grail. The most worthy of the Knights of the Round Table, Galahad also succeeds in drawing a magic sword stuck in stone (much like Arthur)

Behind door 2 we have the greatest knight who ever lived, or so Malory frequently proclaimed throughout Le Morte Darthur. We are of course referring to Sir Lancelot.

It's the 1st December and the countdown to Christmas has begun! But in the world of immigration, Christmas has come early as the jolly old Ho-Ho-Home Office has gifted everyone a "brand new" Points Based System
To celebrate, here at Latitude we'll be posting our very own video advent calendar throughout December. Each day a member of the team will reveal the meaning behind a piece of key terminology essential for the new sponsorship scheme.
First up, it's me, @SharaPledger, and I'll be explaining exactly what a Points Based System is. The PBS and sponsorship will become increasingly important for UK employers in coming months, as Brexit bites and more employees require specific permission to work
Since I can't resist an #AdventCalendar, I'm going to try to do an alphabet from Anglo-Saxon manuscripts from now until Christmas. First up:
A is for 'appropinquabat' (approached). From a prayerbook that was owned-- and possibly made-- by women blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanus…

B is for beatus (blessed). From a Psalter made about 1000 years ago (Arundel MS 155, f. 12r).

C is for 'cantate' (chant! or sing!) We can see how an 11th-century scribe translated this word, in an Old English gloss just above the Latin: 'Singath!'

Conscience Accounting
After violating a moral norm, people have an increased likelihood to act prosocially. Can you provide an outlet for the good behavior? Can you remind people of previous bad deeds to encourage a good deed?

Vicarious Moral Self-licensing
We see our actions as more prosocial if we regard ourselves as part of a group with a good prosocial record. Even onlookers do. Be careful about how you talk about group membership.

Social Inclusion
Social exclusion reduces a wide range of prosocial behaviors. It increases aggression, risk taking & procrastination and reduces cooperation and analytical reasoning. Can users feel included or excluded in your system? What cues exist?
