En esta nota de +NACIÓN el Secretario de Educación Carlos Torrendell afirma sobre el Presupuesto de las Universidades Nacionales 2023:
“Fernández recortó 120%
¿Es correcto?
Creo que queda claro, me parece.”
No se si queda claro, pero está MAL. Va🧵
En esta tabla se muestra el Presupuesto Inicial, el Vigente al 31/12 y el Devengado transferido a las Universidades Nacionales. Los recuadros en verde indican cuando hubo presupuesto prorrogado: en 2022 el congreso no lo aprobó, en 2024 el gobierno de Milei no lo envió.
Si se comparan los presupuestos vigentes entre años consecutivos se obtiene cuánto aumentó el gasto entre esos años.
Cuando hay presupuestos prorrogados e inflación lo que aumenta el presupuesto inicial y el de cierre es muy diferente.
Digging through old files for data, I ran across this talk, developed in 2005. Yes, I actually gave this talk on several occasions staring in '06. For those who have wondered, yes, I've always been like this--it's congenital, not acquired, dementia with psychotic features.
Yes, I began treating osteo orally in 2005, and considered the myth of IV only for osteo busted. Numerous colleagues told me I was insane and practicing below the standard of care medicine. To whit, I cop to the former, but history has vindicated me on the latter.
A lot on IGRA recently. Before the IGRA there was the PPD. It sucks for active dz.
But it was mastery of road construction that made Rome the most connected—and powerful—empire in the ancient world.
Roman roads were engineering marvels in their own right 🧵 (thread)
“All roads lead to Rome” is a saying everyone knows. And there’s a reason for it—Rome developed the most incredible network of interconnected highways in the ancient world.
It’s estimated there were over 50,000 miles (~80000 km) of paved roads throughout the empire.
A 4th century surveyor described the extent of the highway system:
“They reach the Wall in Britain; run along the Rhine, the Danube, and the Euphrates; and cover, as with a network, the interior provinces of the Empire.”
🔸Il a été résistant, champion de boxe, alpiniste, ingénieur... On le connaît comme le père de la volcanologie moderne.
Aujourd'hui nous rendons hommage à Haroun Tazieff.
Un Thread 🧵
🔸Haroun Tazieff est né le 11 mai 1914 à Varsovie 🇵🇱 et nous a quitté le 2 février 1998 à Paris 🇫🇷, il était un homme aux 1000 vies. Aperçu d'une existence bien peu commune...
🔸Le jeune Haroun est tout d'abord diplômé ingénieur agronome de la Faculté des Sciences Agronomiques de Gembloux en 1938 puis entre dans la résistance pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
🔸Il est à nouveau diplômé ingénieur géologue de l'Université de Liège en 1944.
For those who still have any doubt about who was behind the election year riots in the summer of 2020, and who's behind this election year protests on school campuses across the country.

"[Barack Obama and Hasan Chandoo] were part of our radical revolutionary Marxist-Leninist cohort. They were in our secret club. They were talking about how there was going to be a revolution and how the revolution was inevitable."
In 1964, Buffett put $2.8M of his $17.5M fund into AMEX. AMEX grew to a 40% holding, "the largest investment the partnership ever made," and compounded at 50% for four years.
Here's the story…
"Things had never looked rosier at AMEX than they did in mid-November 1963." Traveler's checks. Charge cards. Deposits. Earnings. The stock. Everything was "growing by leaps and bounds." AMEX was a "true growth stock of prime investment quality.
But that was about to change.
On December 2, 1963, the WSJ broke a story about fraud at an AMEX subsidiary. American Express Warehousing, Ltd. issued $82M of receipts against salad oil inventory that "was either missing or had never existed." And this subsidiary had just $100K of net worth to back the claims.
Redistribution of wealth by communists in Bengal
Part-2 Industry
They demanded 50% share of profit from factory owners.
Started GHERAO even led by state labor minister
56000 factory were closed.
They ruined Sonar Bangla.
Dear countrymen, never trust on leftist ideas.

after the agriculture they picked up Bengal's industry.
CPM came to power in Bengal in 1978.
1n 1980, introduced industrial policy and banned any new corporate investment specially by MNC.
BUT AGAIN
like agriculture, they did not stop here.
they started ruining the existing.
up to 1970, Bengal's share in industrial production was 20%
number one you can say, because Bombay (24%) was then actually Maharashtra + Gujrat
in 2010 it came down to 4%.
Just after coming into power, CPM'S trade union CITU started fierce and violent trade union movement .

Podemos ficar anos pesquisando e identificando a lógica familiar e genealógica da classe dominante tradicional de uma região, um "objeto sociológico complexo" e de repente boa parte da classe desfilou e foi atualizada em um ritual, no IV Centenário do Rio de Janeiro, em 1965+
Tudo é política, muitos ficaram contentes com o movimento de 1964 (reacionário e golpista para alguns, a redentora e renovadora para muitos), preservando a dominação histórica da classe. Em uma lista de 2015, quase um censo, do genealogista Cau Barata, visualizamos 10.000 nomes+
Pesquisar e conhecer a classe dominante tradicional é tarefa sociológica, política, histórica e genealógica. Para se construir uma base de dados identificando famílias, trajetórias, ocupações e cargos no Estado em uma região pode demorar anos. Boas listas ajudam ! +
1/6 The upcoming months are anticipated to be the most challenging for Ukraine since the initial weeks of the invasion. Quick take by @joni_askola
2/6 russia is acutely aware that with the approved US aid, Ukraine's imminent mobilization, and the construction of defensive lines, they must make significant advances now, before the situation stabilizes.
3/6 Ukraine is confronted with an exceedingly challenging situation in the East, as russia is advancing at a faster pace than before and possesses an increasingly significant manpower advantage.
Hoje eu vim falar do animal mais temido entre todos, O pinscher.
São pura canalhice, quem tem um pinscher sabe o que eu tô dizendo, esses olhões esbugalhados e seu corpo que pode abrigar todo o ódio do universo, nosso bombo explosivo é originário da Alemanha, isso pode explicar um pouco do apelido anterior.
Esse delinquente tem raiva do universo, então ele odeia todo mundo sem exceção e sem distinguir raça , o arrombadinho parte pra cima.
São inteligentes para caralho, mais corajosos que a porra do leão rei da selva, o pinscher é o rei do hospício, doído mas fiel e leal ao seu dono.
In questa foto ho evidenziato la costellazione della Corona Boreale, facilmente visibile nei nostri cieli per gran parte dell'anno. In questa costellazione c'è una stella particolare di cui sentiremo parlare presto, forse prestissimo...
Un thread sulle stelle novae 🧵✨
Parlo di T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), un'anonima stella che normalmente non è visibile a occhio nudo (magnitudine 10.8, mentre sono visibili stelle fino a mag 6: la scala è al contrario!). T CrB fa però parte di una particolare classe di sorgenti chiamate "novae ricorrenti".
"Novae" è il termine con cui si indicavano nei secoli passati le stelle che apparivano improvvisamente in cielo e rimanevano visibili per qualche tempo per poi scomparire di nuovo. Queste stelle erano appunto "nuove".
🎛️ Loved animating these isometric api illustrations by @danhollick for the new Raycast site.
They’re all SVG:s animated with CSS, here’s how it works (it’s dead simple) 👇
1️⃣ Import the SVG as a React component and group the paths by each “layer” that should move.
Each layer has two classes for the state: the offset starting position and the ending position that is toggled once the illustration enters the viewport.
2️⃣ Each group is then animated with css transitions using transforms and opacity, using transition-delays to orchestrate the animation.
A custom easing curve makes the movement feel natural and snappy.
Any color changes are handled by updating their css variables.
The British trans charity Mermaids was exposed as having put undue pressure on the GIDS pediatric gender clinic. Now @Mermaids_Gender responds to Cass Review: Instead of calling out the misinformation about activists attacking the report, Mermaids complains of misinformation going in the other direction. mermaidsuk.org.uk/news/mermaids-…
Mermaids accuses the 388-page Cass Review of not being written in accessible language or of being clear enough: "We are deeply frustrated with the lack of clarity throughout the report, which has enabled wilful misinterpretation and the spread of harmful misinformation. Clear and accessible language is vital, especially when services are operating in a context where there is significant hostility to and misconceptions about trans people, particularly in the media." mermaidsuk.org.uk/news/mermaids-…
Mermaids says of the Cass Review: "As well as this lack of clarity, young people have told us that they are frustrated by the report’s desire to pinpoint a “cause” for trans young people to be open about who they are and are worried that it may be interpreted to limit social transition, particularly in schools."
Pour commencer, il faut remonter au Big Bang, concept introduit en 1927 par l’Abbé belge Georges Lemaître, qui propose que l'Univers est en expansion, et devait donc être plus petit dans le passé (pas con hein?)
En 1929, Edwin Hubble observe des galaxies au Mt Wilson en Californie. Il se rend compte que les galaxies, ces "univers-iles" contenant des milliards d'étoiles, s'éloignent de nous. Et plus elles sont éloignées, plus elles s'éloignent vite. L'Univers est bien en expansion!
The architecture of St. Petersburg pushes the boundaries of artistic extravagance, boldly proclaiming itself as the world's most beautiful city.

Winter Palace
Famous for being the former residence of the Russian emperors and a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, the Winter Palace is now part of the Hermitage Museum, one of the world's largest and most prestigious museums, known for its extensive collection of art and antiquities.
Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood
Known for its dramatic Russian Revival architecture, this church stands on the site where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated. It is renowned for its intricate mosaics, covering over 7500 square meters, and its picturesque multicolored domes.
While everyone squints at the inflation numbers in today's report, the more important takeaway is the sustainability of the income-led expansion.
HH incomes growing at ~6%, spending is growing at the same rate & despite low savings rates, borrowing is subdued and wealth is up.
The persistent nominal income growth well above the rate post-GFC and at the high end of the last 35 years is supporting nominal spending which is also elevated.
But with wage comp growing at 5-6% and spending at 5-6%, its a very sustainable expansion.
Income-financed spending can be seen in subdued borrowing too. Despite so many dramatic clickbait headlines, household *have never in the post-war period borrowed so little during an economic expansion.*
Heck they haven't borrowed this little during typical downturns!
Dr. Hilary Cass issues her likely last essay on the Cass Review website, in which she chastises "assertions being made on social media, and occasionally on mainstream broadcast media, which misrepresent the report and its findings, whether willfully or otherwise. Whilst some commentators have tried to debunk these misrepresentations, we live in a world where misinformation, when left unchallenged, becomes part of an accepted narrative regardless of its validity." cass.independent-review.uk/entry-10-post-…
I have myself worked hard to debunk the many false assertions made by activists such as Alejandra Caraballo @Esqueer_, Erin Reed @ErinInTheMorn and Mallory Moore @Chican3ry.
Thanks to those of you who have helped in setting the record straight that, no, neither the systematic literature reviews nor the Cass Review simply "disregarded," "discarded" or "threw out" most of the available research about pediatric gender-transition treatment.
