Men need to pay more attention to their health.

#DYK - some diseases affect men more than women:
- 6 in 10 tuberculosis cases are men
- 2/3 of suicides are by men

It’s time to check in on 👨🧔’s health

@WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @pahowho @WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @WHOWPRO @DrTedros @UN @UN_News_Centre Evidence suggests 👨 are more likely to:

•🚬 and 🍻
•Make unhealthy or risky choices
•Put off regular checkups & medical care

It’s time to talk about 👨`s health.

@WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @pahowho @WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @WHOWPRO @DrTedros @UN @UN_News_Centre @antonioguterres The harmful use of #alcohol killed nearly 3 million people in 2016.

3 out of 4 of these deaths were among 👨.

🍻 too much or too often, 📈 immediate risk of injury, causes liver damage, cancer, heart disease, & poor mental health.

Global leaders pledge US$2.6 billion to #EndPolio at the #RLMForum in Abu Dhabi.

Countries & partners announce commitments to vaccinate 450 million children against #polio each year and to overcome barriers to reaching every child 👉bit.ly/35fovzd
@DrTedros @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOEMRO @WHOWPRO @pahowho @WHOAFRO @antonioguterres @UN @UN_News_Centre This pledging event comes on the heels of a major announcement last month that the 🌍 has eradicated two of the three wild poliovirus strains, leaving only wild poliovirus type 1 still in circulation.

@DrTedros @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOEMRO @WHOWPRO @pahowho @WHOAFRO @antonioguterres @UN @UN_News_Centre #Nigeria – the last country in Africa to have cases of wild #polio – has not seen wild polio since 2016 and the entire @WHOAFRO region could be certified wild polio-free in 2020 👉 bit.ly/35fovzd

When showing the film Lost in Lebanon at the UCD Centre for Human Rights last week, we received this very sad and very beautiful message from a Syrian man who came to Ireland via Lebanon, which was read out that evening
'In spite of all the wounds and torments, still strong and coherent, and I can say to you "HELLO".

Because, I am the hope that does not die despite all attempts to bury it.
I am the shout of a live and tormented conscience, its echo is heard by the universe'
'I am the grandson of the first human.
I am the son of that land which is the cradle of the civilizations and first alphabets, the land of the prophets, its soil is the purity and its pure air is healing.'

1)Been doing a lot of thinking on exactly what is taking place. What I will tell you is that a lot of it we are not going to know until it does happen that is just part of the plan. On the other hand those of us that are digging providing information we are the plan at least
2) The Part that researches and exempt information exposing corruption. There are many people that still do not believe they have been lied to. It’s a difficult task to convince someone who has been media propagandized with hate. Hate is an emotion that clouds all other judgment
3) It prevents someone from thinking logically so in order to get someone to be willing to look at the truth we must find a way to remove that hate. I only know of one way and that is through prayer. To get these individuals to wake up and realize that they have been lied to!

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

Okay, I'm about to deep dive into Infinity War.

This is going to be my third viewing of the film.

If you want to avoid spoilers, mute this thread now.
Really good opening with the Asgaardian ship sending a distress call over the Marvel logo.

The first character we hear from is Ebony Maw, who gives a chilling opening speech:
"Hear me and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the great Titan. You may think this is suffering. No. This is salvation. The universal scales tip towards balance because of your sacrifice. Smile, for even in death you have become children of Thanos."

Wow.

Statistics on #FarmMurders and #FarmAttacks were released by the South African government for the first time since 2011, confirming an average of 510 attacks and 56 murders per year, that is more than one per week.
Farmers are being slaughtered in the most horrific, inhumane, sadistic, barbaric ways. They are tortured until they die, women raped for hours on end while their husband's are forced to watch, their heads are crushed and they are set alight.
#FarmMurders
>Tortured with electrical drills
>Finger nails pulled out
>Hands removed from bodies
>Drowned in boiling hot water
Torture which would have earned applause from Spanish Inquisition Torturers. ISIS style atrocities.
