[Thread] Did anyone watch the Care Bears when they were younger? A morally instructive show about erm, coloured bears. The only episode I remember taught a lesson that is absolutely pertinent today with all the stockpiling & rationing. It was about a magic apple tree... #COVID19
2/ A magic apple tree provides all the village bears with all the apples they need. As soon as you pick one, it is replaced instantly, almost exactly like antibacterial wipes in normal times are on the supermarket shelves. So long as you only take one, the tree will replenish.BUT
3/Someone takes a few apples for their kids, sparking a rumour that the tree is running out of apples. This sparks a panic and all the village bears raid the tree to claim their apples. This kills the tree. Result, no apples for anyone. Moral of the story, rumours and selfishness
4/ Will leave you with no apples (or toilet paper). For those who haven't learned the formative lesson you can watch the episode on YouTube...

Was going through some of my Grandad's old things. Found this little card given to him or one of his friends by a French 'girl' in Tunisia in 1943. "to Dixxy, one of the first English soldiers I have seen here. I have time to do something better. I hope you will be pleased
with that. I thank you again for all the things you gave us. I will think of you during the coming Europe campaign. I wish you'll go back home soon - after the Great Victory - a French Girl - Claude de Sonia - May 1943, Saia (Major?) Tunisia. *drawing of crossed fingers*
For context, my Welsh grandfather was in the 132 Welsh Field Regiment Royal Artillery who fought through North Africa and Italy. I don't know who Claude was or the context of this meeting, which somehow makes this a more moving piece of #socialhistory #WWII

My latest column on #CoronaVirus "Myths, lies and the coronavirus: How Middle East tensions are being stoked" middleeasteye.net/opinion/corona…
"#Coronavirus is being opportunistically weaponised through disinformation and propaganda tactics aimed at demonising political opponents, while exposing latent prejudices."
"In the Middle East and around the world, #coronavirus has reactivated similar prejudices along sectarian lines. One needs only to search for “corona” and “Shia” in Arabic to find tweets linking the rapid spread of the virus in Iran to Shia backwardness"

#Thread on GRAVITY AND HINDUISM

“An apple fall on his head and Newton invented gravity in 1687” This is the story, we have been taught in our school. But is it true?

Well, this might be true for western people. But, the principle and specifications of

@LostTemple7
gravitational force is mentioned in our scriptures 5000 years ago.

Forget the veda for a while, even gravitation was preached by many of our rishis way before the newton.

I will discuss everything but before that let us know how modern scientists describe gravity-
Gravity is a force, which depends on the mass of the two bodies and distances between them. This force is responsible for the revolution of planet around earth in a fixed orbit and falling down the objects.

Now lets look how our ancient rishis preached gravitation.

Dear Delhi,

AAP spokesperson refuses to give evidence of AAP's work. @ArvindKejriwal is this how you govern?

Let's face the truth. I am starting a thread here of what u have done.Let's see how u block all these evidence.

Let's start with the basic, air &water of Delhi. #Thread
FACT:

Delhi is choking under @ArvindKejriwal . Forget about making it better, AK failed to maintain the prior standard. On top of that AK lied too. Delhi CM is a liar.

Delhi tap water is the most unsafe to drink in the country but the CM, Chairman of Delhi Jal Board blames others for his failures.

"You repeat a lie 1000 times & it starts appearing like an eternal truth".

But this trick does not come to the rescue of pathological liars who are exposed in the eyes of public.

A day spent in the company of anti-India left lobby in London.

A #thread to expose their agenda!
Event on “Resisting Fascism, Building Solidarities, India, Kashmir and Beyond” by South Asia Solidarity Group (SASG)👺

Their solidarity means ‘false propaganda, cynicism & hatred’ or in simple terms ‘a pack of lies’ 👎

They invited renowned liars to create anti-India narrative.
Disturbed by the abrogation of Art 370 & 35A in J&K - these propagandists gathered in London on 5-Oct-19 with the sole purpose of abusing,

🇮🇳RSS
🇮🇳Indian Govt
🇮🇳Indian Army

In this #thread, I'll expose them & their lies against worlds largest democracy.

#thread on role of dental care pre-surgery. @medevidenceblog posted this. As a dentist who did a hospital based residency in the US, I have been saying this for a while! It is forgotten that attached to every persons body is an oral cavity aka mouth. #dentalcare #presurgery
Inside the mouth are teeth and gingiva(gums). Both potential sources for severe infections often asymptomatic for a long time. I used to be amazed during my private practice of 10 years in the US to see patients come in with severe gum infections #dentalcare #presurgery
And carious broken teeth with periapical pathology. I feel there is a huge area for improvement in this aspect of pre-surgical screening. For starters this needs to be made part of the PAT. A panoramic xray like this and a check up by a dentist,preferably #dentalcare #presurgery
