Time for Part 5. Part 4 is here: and talk a bit more about time, life and death in #Neolithic #Malta - the link between above & below is more than just location.
So, there was a time in the 1970s in #archaeology when we tried to make sense of things by testing hypotheses. Not a bad idea, but it doesn't always work & here's why (aside the fact that humans don't behave in a linear, ordered way).
Colin Renfrew decided to map locations of #megalithic sites & figure out land & territory. Sounds logical right? Especially back then. But the research question itself isn't divorced from our context in the present. To Renfrew it made sense that...

So Elon Musk may be busy throwing a tantrum, but Twitter is not quite dead yet and we have stuff to do and #archaeology to explore. So, part 4 (part 3 here if you missed it: ) #Malta
As above, so below I said last time. Let's poke around underground, for big buildings are not just above-ground. Welcome to the #Saflieni hypogeum, one of the best sites in the world. Yes, I said it and it's true.
@googlearts has a handy tour artsandculture.google.com/partner/hal-sa… but in all honesty you just need to visit. Tickets are via @heritagemalta & they sell out fast & with good reason. Book your flight to #Malta and these tickets at the same time.

I've been working on another Twitter thread - not because @netflix gives a stuff and the Hancock followers will keep being conspiracy idiots. I'm doing this b.c I care about #archaeology and #Malta. Now @FlintDibble has (independently) got a head start here, tis good. Go read.
Good. Now let's focus specifically on #Malta and #prehistory. Let's start with a location map because it's relevant - note we're at the southernmost tip of Europe and pretty much on the doorstep of North Africa. When we say Malta, we mean the entire archipelago. Map of Mediterranean showin...Close up map of the Maltese...
Malta is the bigger island, the middle one is Comino and above that we have Gozo. And other bits and pieces all around. But I'll focus on Malta and Gozo - or Għawdex to give it the proper name.

Las opciones con las que #OceanViking contó e ignoró antes de llegar a #Toulon (Francia):

Días 20-23 de octubre, @SOSMedIntl se situó a 110,1 millas naúticas de #Sfax (Túnez) como puerto seguro más próximo.

Decidió no poner a salvo a los inmigrantes, no era un puerto europeo. Image
27/10/22:

Con un total de 234 inmigrantes ilegales a bordo, @SOSMedIntl tuvo nuevamente la oportunidad de atender a la legislación marítima internacional para poner a salvo a la inmigración asistida.

A tan solo 56,2 millas náuticas -poco más de 100 km- se encontraba #Malta. Image
Tras ignorar un posible desembarco con seguridad en #Túnez y en #Malta, @SOSMedIntl se desplazó hasta aguas de la ciudad portuaria de #Catania.

La ONG se encontró con la oposición del Gobierno de coalición de @GiorgiaMeloni.

Pudo ponerles a salvo en dos ocasiones antes de esto. Image

1) Dal 2017 i governi italiani si sono resi complici di questi crimini. Nessuno può dire "non sapevo". Vi abbiamo fornito prove e ve le hanno fornite Onu e Corte penale internazionale. Il "Memorandum" con la #Libia condanna loro e condanna voi. Erano loro da fermare, non le Ong.
2) Vi abbiamo raccontato il #Libyagate che coinvolge politica, finanza, contrabbandieri, mafiosi. Tra stragi e affari attraverso #Malta e i personaggi coinvolti nella congiura contro #DaphneCaruanaGalizia

Good morning (or evening) to you all on Tues 4 October.

This is the start of my daily thread for Day 223, documenting #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine

If you missed the MUSKalculations yesterday evening, you need to scroll through Monday's thread:

Another blow to #Russia as @nvidia finally announces it's stopping all operations in the Terrorist State.

The company makes chips, and though it had already suspended export, it kept a base there "to support employees"

Plenty of smoke in #Donetsk on Monday evening.
Still no reports from the Occupiers as to what happened in the Occupied city.

2 children on the boat have died in recent days -- and the health of others are deteriorating.

To ignore such a tragedy, just off #Malta's coast, represents an unspeakable lack of humanity.

Time for someone to step up, @MaltaGov.
@MaltaGov That Syrians are still fleeing for #Europe is no surprise, particularly those in #Lebanon where authorities are preparing to *illegally force* them back to #Syria.

5+ million #Syria refugees remain in neighboring states & polling suggests ~0.5% would consider an eventual return.
@MaltaGov Why do almost all #Syria refugees refuse to consider any future return to #Syria?

The answer is obvious when you glance across basic facts -- see this thread from last week:

🆘~70 people adrift in Malta Search and Rescue zone!

Alarm Phone alerted RCC #Malta via email, but, once again, they are not reachable on the phone. The people in distress report that the engine stopped and that they need rescue urgently! Don't waste time, rescue now!
The approximately 70 people were able to restart their engine but have now run out of fuel! They report that one person on board has died, just 25 nautical miles from the Italian SAR. We have alerted authorities several times already - rescue is needed urgently!
🚩Don't forget them at sea!

The ~70 people called us again, nobody came to rescue them yet. The people are suffering as they don't have food and fuel is out as well. We urgently demand to rescue the group to prevent a tragedy at night!

*Any* image can be reconstructed from a series of sinusoidal gratings.

A sinusoidal grating looks like this…

It’s called a sinusoidal grating because the grayscale values vary according to the sine function.

If you plot the values along a horizontal line of the grating, you’ll get a plot of a sine function Cross-section of a sinusoidal grating

L'ultimo partito registrato in ordine di tempo, è #Volt|G/EFA, partito paneuropeo presente dal 2021 anche a Malta. Volt, che si definisce ultraprogressista per i canoni maltesi, ha pubblicato un manifesto che ha destato molto
scalpore e ha suscitato diverse critiche: ha proposto la legalizzazione dell'aborto, la creazione del reato di femminicidio e la legalizzazione dell'eutanasia, della cannabis e dei sex workers.
Volt propone, tra le altre cose, di promuovere le PMI,
l'aumento dell'energia prodotta da fonti rinnovabili, la promozione dell'agricoltura verticale e la promozione dell'idrogeno verde.
Volt è stato il primo partito nella storia di Malta a dichiararsi favorevole all'aborto e a candidare un trangender

Russia 🇷🇺 is a beautiful country. I have many dear Russian friends.

What Russian invasion army under Putin’s orders is doing in Ukraine is condemned by all of the International community.
@MFA @RT

theguardian.com/world/2022/feb… Image
Russia 🇷🇺 could be a prosperous nation if only the country was not run by Putin’s Silovik kleptocrats.

The only way for Russian youth to succeed in the future is to over-throw criminal Putin and choose #peace in Ukraine 🇺🇦. Stand up to Putin insanity!
#StandWithUkraine Image
Putin’s unjustified, criminal invasion is turning Russia 🇷🇺 into a pariah state.

The phase of invasion war can be over in days or weeks, but the World will not forget in a generation. Ukrainian 🇺🇦 people will never forget Putin’s Holodomor.

Un rasgo de la UE es la influencia de los pequeños Estados, lo que no es nuevo en la historia europea. Baste recordar el peso de los tres arzobispos electores (Maguncia, Tréveris y Colonia) en el el Sacro Imperio Romano o de las ciudades Estado italianas en la Baja Edad Media.
El Estado nación se fue imponiendo a partir de la Edad Moderna como modelo a imitar, hasta que el sistema no soportó su proliferación sin instancias supranacionales e implosionó en las dos GM. La solución resultante (CEE, ahora UE) evoca rasgos de una lejana gobernanza europea.
La elección de @EP_President ha suscitado diversos comentarios: tercera mujer que preside el PE o la ausencia de S&D de la presidencia de las 3 grandes instituciones 🇪🇺. Quizá lo más relevante sea que proviene de #Malta, con 500.000 habitantes, frente a los 450 millones de la UE.
