Let's hit Japan hard and make them rethink their decision to leave the IWC and resume whaling. Join us in protesting the @RugbyWC_2019 and @Tokyo2020. 💥🐋 @iwc_int @rugbyworldcup @Olympics
@rugbyworldcupjp @japan @JapanGov @JPN_PMO @AbeShinzo
We urge Japan to cease whaling and rejoin the IWC. Until they do, we will be officially protesting the @rugbyworldcupjp which starts on 20th Sept 2019. @Tokyo2020 will follow. Expect disruptions. Pic: @ArchieTaplin #whales #Japanwhaling
Japan has quit the IWC because they could not get a quota to kill whales - this means that they are now OFFICIALLY whaling. The truth is that nobody knows what they will do next... ~> facebook.com/BluePlanetSoc/…
Rugby World Cup boycott? – Japan’s whaling return sparks rumblings of protests, with Tokyo Olympics also under threat scmp.com/sport/rugby/ar… @SCMPNews
It takes up to 25 minutes for a whale to die after being harpooned. If a country like Japan did this to elephants, there would be global sanctions. #RWC2019 #whaling #IWC #Tokyo2020
We believe that @Danielledeniese is due to perform the song "World in Union" at the opening ceremony of @rugbyworldcupjp in Tokyo on September 20. We are calling for world union against whaling. Join us in protesting the #RWC2019.
It's great to see so much support for our whaling protest from Japanese people. A timely reminder that government policies do not always reflect the will of the population. #RWC2019 #Tokyo2020
There is plenty of outrage from Blue Planet Society and our supporters @BorisJohnson, but some cetacean conservationists are claiming that Japan leaving the IWC is some kind of victory. In our opinion, it's far too soon to make that judgement. smh.com.au/environment/co…

The reality of whaling. "There is no humane way to kill a whale at sea" #RWC2019 #Tokyo2020
Japan should join the overwhelming majority of the world and stop whaling altogether latimes.com/opinion/editor… #RWC2019 #Tokyo2020
Attention whale lovers. Japan PM @AbeShinzo will be in the UK on Thurs 10th Jan and visiting Twickenham stadium to promote the Rugby World Cup 2019. Let him know how you feel about whaling. #WorldInUnionAgainstWhaling #LoveRugbyLoveWhales #RWC2019 #Tokyo2020 @TwickersEvents
Save the whales, again nature.com/articles/d4158… #whaling
Rugby fans are a knowledgeable lot @theresa_may & @AbeShinzo. We assure you that Japan whaling will not go unchallenged at #RWC2019. @rugbyworldcup
The World in Union.....against whaling. independent.co.uk/voices/theresa… #RWC2019
Please consider doing one of two things: 1) Travel to @rugbyworldcupjp and make your feelings about whales & whaling clear to the people of Japan (more details to follow). 2) Boycott the event and make a donation to a whale conservation org @rugbyworldcup
We urge #RWC2019 sponsors @Emirates @JLR_News @dhlexpressuk @Heineken @Mastercard @SocieteGenerale to take note. A country CANNOT resume commercial whaling just months before hosting a major tournament and expect to get away with it. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl… #whales
Japan’s rogue stance on whaling deserves worldwide condemnation blog.humanesociety.org/2019/01/japans… #whales
Whales v Japan. 🐋🇯🇵 #RWC2019 #whaling
Commercial whaling – in all its forms – must be permanently brought to an end. The sooner Japan, as well as other countries such as Iceland and Norway, realise this the better. independentaustralia.net/environment/en… #RWC2019 #whales

"We need to create a forum for discussions to establish a consensus that whales are a (food) resource," - We must FIGHT THIS TOOTH AND NAIL. Rugby fans please join us by protesting at @rugbyworldcupjp! nippon.com/en/news/yjj201… #RWC2019
“Stable supplies will lead to a rise in demand” - With dwindling natural resources, for Japan to renormalise whaling is potentially a disaster for global whale populations. japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/01/3… #RWC2019
Slavery, cannibalism, genocide, these were all 'cultural heritage' at one stage in history. The human race moved forward, became enlightened to the fact that some practices are no longer acceptable in a civilised, humane world. scmp.com/news/asia/east… #RWC2019 #whaling #whales

Years ago, someone asked me if I would edit her CV. Because your girl's always hustling, I said yes and quickly taught myself about what recruiters want to see in a #Resume. Since then, #CVEditing has become something I do regularly. Here's a thread on a few things I've learnt.
People will tell you not to make the basic errors - spelling mistakes, hard-to-read fonts, inaccurate info, etc. But the problem I see most often is that people's CVs don't reflect who they are. Your CV should be who you are and what you offer an employer, on paper.
Instead, people take the CV format they were taught in school and just fill in the blanks. They list "responsibilities" rather than focusing on the value they add to the workplace. Your CV needs to make you stand out from the rest of the candidates for a job you're targeting.

You might have heard that #Japan is set to resume commercial whaling. The truth is, they never quit commercial whaling, they have just called it "research" whaling since the late 80s, but it's been a commercial venture despite the fake name. So why are they now making the change?
The primary reason comes with the aging factory vessel, the Nisshin Maru, which is the center of the whaling fleet when hunting whales in the Southern Ocean. This ship was built in 1987 and it's getting old. Last year, Japan announced they were retiring this ship and building new
What most people do not know however, is that other than the whaling in the Southern Ocean, Japan has always had a second whaling fleet that hunts whales in Japanese waters of the North Pacific! This second fleet is made of much smaller vessels and there is no "mother ship".

@TomTugendhat @Andrew_Adonis Let's look at the facts:
1. The Ref MPs voted for was advisory
2. Cameron then made it binding in the minds of voters who don't understand the niceties of our constitution, which was shabby & underhand of him, because he created a political imperative to take the Ref advice

/1.
@TomTugendhat @Andrew_Adonis 3. Parliament never formally made the decision to leave, but gave Mrs May the power to trigger #Article50 through the shameful A50 Bill (launched before its rubbish White Paper was released), which converted Parliament into an irrelevant rubber stamp in the #Brexit process.

/2.
@TomTugendhat @Andrew_Adonis 4. Under pressure from the Economic Ruin Group (ERG), Mrs May triggered A50 prematurely, without impact assessments and, crucially, without agreement in her party as to what form #Brexit should take, let alone a plan.

/3.

1. Major news broke Thursday when CNN reported that Michael Cohen, the president’s former attorney, said he was in the room when Donald Trump approved a meeting between his campaign and Russian agents eager to share dirt on Hillary Clinton. cnn.com/2018/07/26/pol…
2. Per CNN:

Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the Russians' offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen's account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources.
3. If true, Cohen’s claim would be the linchpin holding together hundreds of strands of evidence pointing to a criminal conspiracy between the Russian government and the Trump campaign in an effort to help the president win.

Trump still in deep denial–and despicable disrespect for US intelligence–saying Russians are no threat to upcoming elections.
Betraying his Constitutional duty–inviting Russian cyber attacks, failing to "defend against all enemies" congress must act.
Hit back–hard–to make Russians pay a price for their continuing attacks: more sanctions, offensive cyber counter measures, expose Putin's concealed corruptly gained wealth & more. Congress must act.

Aum cult founder Shoko Asahara executed, reports @nhk. www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/2018… #Japan
The cult leader is the first of 13 people to be hanged for the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system. In the 1995 attack 12 people died and more than 1,000 fell ill.
Personal note: I lived in Tokyo at the time and had slept in after staying awake past 3 am (very unusual for me) and thus wasn't on the trains during the morning rush hour when the attack took place. I finally awoke due to the sound of many sirens of ambulances responding.
