I mentioned before that Rider-Rider shows us quite a few captured POWs during #Amiens, but he also shows us captured guns. LAC MIKAN 3397896 & 7887.
For the gear heads in the group: 7.7cm FK 96 n.a. field gun, colloquially referred to as a "whizz-bang" b/c of the sound of the shell in the air & detonating, and a 15 cm sFH 02 heavy howitzer since claimed by the 13th Battalion (Royal Highlanders of Canada).
I pulled that right off of LAC because I'm not an arms expert. If the info is wrong, don't @ me. Email LAC and tell them to update their records 🤓😂
Both photographs are by William Rider-Rider, August 8-12, 1918 #BattleofAmiens #warphotos

Next in his photographs of the #HundredDays Rider-Rider shows us images of a destroyed cemetery in France. LAC MIKAN 3397394 👇🏼👇🏼See more below
The images are labelled as "desecrated graves," which indicates (to me) the Cdn War Records Office pointing out how depraved the Germans must be. However, the signs seem to read that the cemetery was destroyed by English artillery fire.
Photographs are by William Rider-Rider, August 1918, LAC MIKAN 3403952-4 & 3403961.

Today marks the 76th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid. It's a great example in why it's important to cite your photography sources whenever possible. Wanna know why? Thread 👇🏼👇🏼
Photograph is: Personnel landing craft draw away from a motor torpedo boat to start their run-in to the beaches during the raid on Dieppe, unattributed, August 1942, LAC MIKAN 3194301 #Dieppe
In 1939, the Canadian Army didn't have a plan for how it would hire photographers. January 1940, the Public Relations Office (PR) is set up in London. They are able to begin hiring photographers.

After I finish up this year tweeting out the #HundredDays, I hope everyone is ready for a steady stream of #WW2 photography - too amazing not to share & (more importantly) explore together.
Photograph turns 74 tomorrow! "War correspondent James Cassidy standing at the entrance to Falaise, France", 18 August 1944. By Ken Bell, LAC MIKAN 3224833 #warphotos
(Sidenote: if you've hung out in France, and drank Calvados with friends, images like this will be special to you, like they are to me. And if you haven't yet, you will, and it'll be wonderful).

I am writing a thread for supporters PM Narendra Modi .
I am a professional , a Doctor , with no intention to join active politics but I take interest in politics to support the efforts of PM Narendra Modi. It doesn't make me supporter of any political party including Bjp! 1/n
After yesterday's defeat of my Prime minister's party Bjp in 3 Assembly Elections, I am too feeling low but in view of larger battle of 2019 for my PM , I am seeing silver lining in the cloud vis a vis yesterday's mandate that I would like to share in this thread . 2/n
One cannot ignore the fact that Bjp had incumbent Governments for last 15 years in Madhya Pradesh and Chhatisgarh & for last 5 yrs in Rajasthan with same term for incumbent CMs.Anti incumbency was natural in these states & especially in Rajasthan, people were unhappy with CM.3/n

Before you hear the spin from Prachaar Mantri ji, here are a few facts about Netaji Bose that you all must remember. When distortion of history is the norm, need to put out facts that are sacred. 1/n
Subhash C Bose had 3 regiments of INA named after Gandhi, Nehru & Azad. After his win in Imphal in 1944 he spoke about Gandhi and addressed him as the ‘Father of our Nation’ 2/n
Subhash C Bose also sought Mahatma’s blessings & his good wishes on that occasion. He also knew that he would need the support of the Congress & millions of their followers once INA entered India. 3/n

Male omegas are rare. Rare, and highly sought after.

Jimin is a male omega who takes suppressants on the daily and hides his scent with blockers and beta oils.
It wasn’t until he joined Seoul University and met Min Yoongi did those precautions stop working.

Today, we're launching the RAND Gun Policy in America initiative, which provides information on what scientific research can tell us about the effects of gun laws. [thread] r.rand.org/6xbc
Our goal is to establish a shared set of facts that will improve public discussions and support the development of fair and effective gun policies.

There is *a lot* to explore in the link above. This thread provides an overview.
To know whether a gun policy is fair and effective, we need to determine how it affects outcomes, such as:

📍injuries & deaths
📍mass shootings
📍defensive gun use
📍hunting participation

So what does the evidence show?

Tutorial on how to make a map using QGIS. I'll turn @SenhorRaposa's 2000 Vermont town data into a map showing by how much Gore outran Senator Jeffords (or vice versa) in every town.
Step 1: Download QGIS for your computer, which is available here:
qgis.org/en/site/foruse…
You'll also need some of Census' Tiger/Line County and County Sub shapefiles. The main download page for those is here:
census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/sh…

A direct link to the 2017 VT county sub shapefile is here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/COUSUB/tl_2017_50_cousub.zip
I can't find a 2017 County file by state, so we'll use the 2009 verison here:
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/50_VERMONT/tl_2009_50_county.zip
(We could always edit the 17 national county file in QGIS & create a 2017 VT-only county shapefile, but let's keep it simple.)
