Modern Life... (Stranger by the day - Fun though)!

@Livooo

🧵I love #football

Have done since the 1980's ⚽️

Nowadays though, the off-field stuff seems to get as much coverage & column inches as the game itself 🗞️📺📱

Competition isn't just about trophies - it's about eyeballs, soft power, geo-politics, PR and #money

Quick tale...

Did you see that news report from the #US this week about the #billionaire financier #TomBarrack being arrested? ($250m bail)

In the weird (but fun) world we live in, that incident ties to #NewcastleUnited & the #PremierLeague

Say what?! 🧐

#FollowTheMoney #Networks #Power 💸

We have;

- Billionaires acting as back-channel diplomats (💰)
- Political actors orchestrating things but pretending they're not
- Qatar buy rights to #EPL for region
- Saudi pirate them #AJ #BeIn #BeOut
- SA try to buy NUFC
- Qatar say "No Way"

#Rights ✍️/👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Vorige week plaatste @mauricedehond een blog waarin hij een artikel vertaalt van @JemmaMoran over de effectiviteit (en zelfs het gevaar) van #Lockdowns. Je vindt de blog van MdH en het originele artikel in de links:

maurice.nl/2021/03/16/ris…
thecritic.co.uk/mutant-variati…

Aangezien veel mensen op mijn TL dit verhaal geloven en aandragen als bewijs dat #Lockdowns (of andere maatregelen) niet werken, ben ik er maar eens ingedoken.

TL;DR: er klopt geen hout van.

@mauricedehond

Om te beginnen: de originele auteur is Engels, en heeft het over de Engelse situatie. Aangezien @mauricedehond het artikel vertaald (en bewerkt) heeft, ga ik er in de verdere behandeling van uit dat hij vindt dat deze onverkort ook voor NL geldt.

@WHO

@WHO on Wednesday released guidance on who should be given #AstraZeneca's vax & how it will be administered.

See below:
1. It's to be given 3-4 months between 1st & 2nd dose

2. ANYONE above 18years (pretty standard age for adults).

ALSO to be given to older people above 65yrs since there isn't data that shows that new variants will affect the efficacy of #AZ in this age group.

3. Like #Pfizer's, it will not be given to pregnant & breastfeeding women unless they are at risk of contracting #Covid-19.

@WHO

"We do not have enough information to recommend the vaccine in this group but don't see no reason for it not to be used if the woman is at risk," @WHO's SAGE chair Dr Alejandro craivoto said.

#SouthAfrica on Sunday suspended the use of the #OxfordAstraZeneca vaccine after a small clinical trial suggested that the drug is not effective in preventing mild to moderate illness from the variant dominant in the country.

@mosmasika

I spoke to @mosmasika to understand if the new data posed any risk for Kenya which is heavily relying on the #OxfordAstraZeneca vaccine.

He told me: "We should not stop our plans for vaccination just because South Africa has paused #AZ.
We should appreciate that the two countries are experiencing a somewhat different trajectory in terms of numbers and most likely circulating variants."

Dassault #Rafale will join #IndianAirforce at the end of this month,Ambala AFB on the side of #Pakistan border. How does this change equation for #PAF? Modern aerial warfare is not limited to
platform🆚platform but
“Set of systems of a system 🆚 Set of systems of a system”🧵👇

First of all this isn’t new for #IAF & their defence circle to start singing bhajans of new god. It has happened before
“Su-30MKI Flankers with it's 400km range, "Mini-AWAC," incorporating Western Avionics such as the french SAGEM GPS & the israeli EL/M-8222 EW Suite.” Ring a 🔔

So adversary had an edge for more than decade which they lost it but didn’t realise till last year. #Flanker & #Fulcrum are still the main headaches for PAF as they’re in numbers flying from different bases with potent specs/missiles & more importantly experienced pilots & legacy

Our dad was born OTD in 1925 - traditionally we had to have strawberries and cream to celebrate. Back in the 1960s this would be early in the season so these would be our first and sometimes only strawberries.

@kivetonwales

He was born in Wales near @kivetonwales eldest son of a #YorkshireMiner who was determined that none of his children would follow him into the pit, and they didn’t. Dad won Miners’ scholarships to @KingsPontefract and from there to @Kings_Cambridge a two year degree in wartime

@SCM_Britain

His closest brush with sport was to keep score for the school cricket team - he found God (or perhaps it was the other way round) at Uni and started off a theological career which took him to @SCM_Britain and a conference in India where he met our Aussie mum from @australianscm

#Lesotho 🇱🇸 has zero #coronsvirus cases. The deployment of the military into the streets is for political reasons only.

With the international com. caught up in the pandemic another democracy is collapsing without any int. response

Good news from #Lesotho 🇱🇸 where the collapse of the democratic state seems to have been averted.

I shall be sharing my thoughts on the involvement of South Africans in drugs in South Africa, and other parts of the world.

I must warn upfront that the things I am going to share, are by no means triggered by hatred, but the need to set the record straight.

You will discover that despite the involvement of South Africans living abroad in crimes (including drugs), their host country never labeled the 'whole' of South Africans 'criminals, neither did they resort to 'killing' them. The instrument of the law was invoked to address it.

We are agreed that South Africa has been warmly welcomed into the international community (of which Nigeria played a role) and is, in turn,
open to the world. The benefits of this recently achieved status include increased investor
interest, more tourism et al.

Visit to the Kwa Muhle Museum. One of the few museums to take a truth telling approach BEFORE the referendum of 1992 and the official fall of #Apartheid in 1994. What this means is that it manages to avoid some of the triumphalism and Mandela-centric efforts that followed.

While the attempt to transform the fall of Apartheid into a finish line rather than a starting point (or transition process) IS gaining steam, it is largely kept at bay in public history projects.Erasures & silences on big questions of #colonialism and Apartheid just don't happen

For example, the role of Durban's white public officials in creating some of earliest versions of Apartheid (prior to 1948) and their continued implementation of it through the forced removal of Black people from Cato Manor after 1950 is made very explicit.

#Daraa map for July-17, today things changed:
#Opposition areas southwest of Daraa city.
situation in #Nawa is still not clear.
#Mahji #Sanamin and #Ghabaghib reached for a deal with the #Russian, Map also shows the exact location for Iranian-Backed forces in the southern Front

#Nawa didn’t surrender, Opposition there choose to defend their city despite Russian & Regime attacks, at the end they were able to go to the negotiations with their own conditions. Until now No final deals, all the news talking about a full surrender by the city is 100% wrong

Opposition in #Nawa #Daraa gave the #Russian a new proposal which include: Allowing them to leave the city with their own vehicles & Armory, the proposal got rejected by the Russian and the military campaign restarted, another round of negotiations is set to happen later this day
