1) Actually sir,

Bhatt Vahi(Guru Kian Sakhian) is dated to 1790. Not exactly a contemporary source. Yet, Bhatt Vahi is not considered by scholars as an authentic document. There is only a modern manuscript available. Older copies are "lost". It says Patna is on banks of Yamuna
2. Bhatt Vahi was originally written in Bhattakri script. In was transliterated into Gurmukhi in 1868. However, both these versions no longer exist. What exists is a so called modern "copy"

[Snippet source: Balwinder Singh Dhillon, HOD Guru Nanak Studies Amritsar]
3. According to Sikh Scholar Pal Singh Purewal, there are internal conflicts in the dates of this texts. He says these dayes are concocted.

According to Balwant Singh, the fate of Guru Kian Sakhian hangs in balance as a genuine source.
4. The text gets basic dates of Gurus wrong and describes Yamuna in Patna. The text is not a reliable source and appears to be a modern day forgery

Picture of Krishna Janmabhoomi taken in 1949. This place was considered by Hindus since thousands of years as birthplace of God Krishna. There used to be a grand temple here to Lord Krishna, whose ruins can be seen in this pic

Aurangzeb destroyed the temple and built this Eidgah
A closer look of this Shahi Eidgah built by Aurangzeb in 1670. Look closely at its base. We can see brick structures which are the ruins of the real Janmabhoomi temple. The mosque was built on top of the ruins.Hindus continued to frequent the ruined site and offer their devotion
Today, a new Krishna Janmabhoomi temple exists just outside the Mosque. This was built recently and its construction was completed in 1982.Hindus were allowed to build this temple after 1968 agreement in which they gave up all their rights over the land on which the mosque stands

Utter trash written by someone who is absolutely clueless about history or recent historical Genetic studies. False and illiterate historical claims(which I show below). Equally illiterate and clueless is this tweet. No facts. No objectivity. Only false claims and Hindu hatred(1)
2) No, Genetic studies make no such claim and prove no such thing. You (and the author) have not bothered to read anything and lack basic comprehension . Recent Genetic studies say Harappan BLOOD runs through veins of BOTH North Indians and South Indians

3) This is the most recent genetic paper written by world's renowned experts across various academic disciplines . It says the Harappan component ("Indus Periphery) among ANI(Ancestry North Indian) is 72% and ASI(Ancestral South Indian) is 39%

SHAQUELLE KARLA IRIS VIDAL (24/08/94 - 07-04-18) Rest in Power my beautiful little girl. I can’t believe that this is really it. You’re gone but never forgotten. I’ll get justice for you. I promise you that. They messed with the wrong one
Today is going to be hard. Thanks to all of you for your support both financial and emotional. It’s been a total roller coaster since my child died. I have not been able to even grieve for her properly since I’ve been caught in a nasty court battle for the right to bury her.

A question that is always present, for any translator: What is stylistic "equivalence"? Is "equivalence" even the right term? Translation Studies over the past few decades has taught us a lot about how complex that question always is.
Homer includes words from many eras and many dialects. It's regular metrical dactylic hexameter, not prose, and it comes from a time when prose didn't yet exist. Many formulaic elements. Many polysyllabic words. But syntactically v. easy, quick, fun and absorbing to read.
What is "equivalent", in a contemporary Anglophone context, to how all of this sounded in the Greek-speaking world of, say, the 6th century BCE? There's in fact no equivalent. We just don't have a text or a tradition that occupies the same cultural / literary/ poetic space.

A German prisoner of war captured near Ubach, Germany, wears a tag telling his captors that he has an injured back and should be handled carefully. 1 December 1944.
A prisoner of war (POW) is a person, whether combatant or non-combatant, who is held in custody by a belligerent power during or immediately after an armed conflict. The earliest recorded usage of the phrase "prisoner of war" dates to 1660.
During the World War II, the armies of Western Allied nations such as Australia, Canada, the UK and the US were ordered to treat Axis prisoners strictly in accordance with the Geneva Convention. Some breaches of the Convention took place, however.

There’s some cut-and-dry things, like retrieving stolen property and whatnot, and one that looks tricky but fun--someone’s smuggling marijuana and cocaine in bars of chocolate and several higher-ups in South America have reached out to try and get the Service’s help to stop it.
The last option on the list, though, is the one that really catches Taehyung’s eye:

Case 6: CAPTURE FUGITIVE

SEX: M, HEIGHT: 1.78m, HAIR: brunette, EYES: brown.
It’s as if Taehyung knows exactly which name he’s going to see before his eyes even finish scrolling through the first couple of lines, because he feels an unfamiliar surge of excitement swoop through his stomach, one that he’s sorely missed.

NAME: JEON, JUNGKOOK

There are a lot of prominent people, who claim to be principled anti-war activists, who led us to believe that Hillary was the *real* threat, that should be absolutely ashamed to show their faces right now. Yet they're all pretending like it never happened.
None of this is surprising if you were paying attention & weren't looking to confirm your biases that #actually Trump might not be so bad (not as bad as Killary). Most of us saw the threat in real time & called it out. It wasn't subtle.
It's just so incredibly frustrating bc it was all so predictable. You demanded that every journalist & pundit who predicted the election results incorrectly be disgraced; yet this was infinitely more consequential. And yet, you've taken zero responsibility for your actions.
