In five years, #JoeBiden will likely get the #NobelPeacePrize. But not because he did anything proactively for peace.
It is because a #Multipolar World will be more peaceful than a unipolar one, and Biden has done more than anyone else (albeit unwittingly) to further that. (1/n)

The US-led #sanctions against #Russia in response to the #UkraineRussiaWar have forced countries around the world to abandon the US dollar as a medium of trade. This is forcing the rest of the world (non-West) together. Banning Russia from #swift was most important in this. (2/n)

Just out: Scientific report with overview of highly pathogenic avian #influenza from December 2022 to March 2023, by @efsa, @ECDC_EU, and EURL AI. A thread on the situation in poultry, wild birds, wild mammals, and humans in Europe and worldwide. (1/11)

efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal…
In #Europe, highly pathogenic avian #influenza virus #H5N1, clade 2.3.4.4b, was reported in 403 #poultry farms and 119 other captive bird holdings birds in 24 countries between 3 December 2022 and 1 March 2023. (2/11)
In Europe, an unexpected number of highly pathogenic avian #influenza virus #H5N1 detections in #seabirds were observed between 3 December 2022 and 1 March 2023, mainly in gull species and particularly in black-headed #gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus). (3/11)

I would like to clarify recent statements in the press regarding the ##H5N1 virus detected recently in #Cambodia that were taken out of context. The confusion surrounds the implication that the virus has already gone “through” humans, and may be misinterpreted. (A thread - 1/)
For clarification, #H5N1 virus sequenced from the case in Cambodia shows certain changes that are anticipated and have been found in previous avian and/or human strains when they go from a bird to a human. (2/)
This does *NOT* indicate that the virus is mutating or adapting to become human-to-human transmissible, nor does it state that the virus has already transmitted between humans. (3/)

Cambodian CDC releases a statement about the recent human #H5N1 infection in #Cambodia
Virus belongs to Clade 2.3.2.1c viruses (=endemic in Cambodia) and NOT 2.3.4.4b that is causing infections around the globe in poultry, wild birds, and mammalian species.

A 🧵 about ethical ways to build an image bank in #comdev, #globaldev:
At @Streetnet1, we never had a professional image bank until last year. That's when we made the decision to hire professional photographers in each region we work to take pictures-especially portraits. (1/6)
At @Streetnet1, we never had a professional image bank until last year. That's when we made the decision to hire professional photographers in each region we work to take pictures-especially portraits. (1/6)
We wanted portraits of street vendors doing their work in a dignified way. But we did not want these vendors to be anonymous faces. We put the photographers in contact with our affiliates on the ground to capture their members, their names, their stories (with permission). (2/6)
That is why I can tell you, for example, that this vendor's name is Oeun Malis, and she is a member of our affiliate IDEA in #Cambodia. She's been vending for 5 years & was 28 years old at the time.
We can't get the same level of detail for all photos. But we sure tried. (3/6)

A common refrain from anti-anonymity #Facebook apologists is that its #RealNamesPolicy promoted "civility" by making users "accountable" for their words. In this conception, snuffing out anonymous speech is key to protecting "the vulnerable" from trolls and other bad actors. 1/

Most countries have adapted Rama Story acc. to their own culture with a local setting; the Indian names are used for important towns, sites, mountains, rivers, and lakes.
The adoption of Valmiki Story in Asian countries was selective and influenced by local values

The Buddhist work Mahavibhasa (150ce) is oldest record of Ramayana. Hsuan Tsang stated "There is a book called the Rāmāyaṇa...[it] explains only two topics:
1. Rāvana carrying Sītā off by violence
2. Rāma recovering Sītā and returning."

Welcome to my neighborhood. In just the past few months, I have counted at least 3 people losing their lives on Hanoi Boulevard. The most recent one was just a couple of weeks ago. All deaths occurred at intersections.
At six lanes wide, Hanoi Boulevard is designed for maximum vehicle speed and volume. Yet is placed in a complex urban context, with stores, schools, houses, markets, and factories flanking its route. This is why roads such as this are so deadly.
Speed kills. A road designed for speed kills, whether road users wore a helmet or not. A street designed with safety in mind actively addresses vehicle speed and has multiple layers of features to prevent and mitigate crashes.

Clausewitz said, in his famous work “On War” (as often cited as it is little read), that war is the continuation of diplomacy by other means, well it says a lot more things, but i will keep just a few as i do not wanna write too long.
In his chapter 1, Clausewitz refers that "war constitutes... an act of force that is carried out to force the adversary to comply with our will." War, therefore, is a duel of wills, which, in itself, is not enough, since wanting is one thing and power is another.
Does not intervene who wants but who can, as it is said in #InternationalLaw …
To impose our will, we need resources, in an amount that exceeds what our adversary can muster, first of all energy.
