@bphillipsonMP has promised to present the long-awaited code of practice by Parliament this month.
If she is going to meet her deadline, the parliamentary timetable means that in practice she has to do it in just a few days’ time 🧵
The code, when it comes, will provide a detailed explanation of the single-sex and separate-sex exceptions as applied in different kinds of single-sex services, with lots of practical examples.
Perhaps its most important function will be to stop duty-bearers repeating endlessly that the reason they haven’t changed unlawful policies in the year-plus since the Supreme Court judgment in the case of For Women Scotland is that they are “waiting for guidance”.
Allah is the One & Only True God: Almighty Lord; Ruler & King of Kings
He's the Protector & Keeper of the Universe & Sustainer of all things
Allah is the Creator of everything, from atoms to galaxies far away
from ants to whales, seeds to trees, seasons & the night and day
🧵1/10
The Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, there are at least 99
if you remember & worship Allah by them, you will get to Jannah in time
We shouldn’t imagine what Allah looks like, that’s just Satan’s trick
we believe in Allah as He described Himself & to that we must stick

Quand je lis les commentaires (d’hommes les plus souvent) sur Flavie Flament je me dis que la route est encore longue. Qu’elle ait été victime de deux adultes différents est en réalité très logique. C’était une enfant surexposée par sa mère, violée à 13 ans par un photographe
Dont on encensait Des photos intolérables. Je vous invite à regarder les soit disant photos d’art de David Hamilton pour ce qu’elles étaient : une exposition pédocriminelle et sordide de PETITES FILLES. Et comme souvent cette enfant jetée en pâture peut avoir été à nouveau
Proie d’un prédateur. MissOK à 16 ans donc toujours exposée aux hommes adultes. Les faits sont prescrits mais tout à fait plausibles au regard de la particulière vulnérabilité de F Flament.

Centrally planned climate targets have delivered higher energy costs, industrial decline, and political revolt instead of the promised green utopia.
While Europe stagnates under mandates, America shows what market-driven progress looks like.
Thread 🧵
2/ Electricity in Europe now costs two to three times more than in the U.S. or China.
Taxes make up nearly a quarter of the bill. Binding net-zero rules, nuclear phase-outs, and unreliable renewables have created volatility and strangled industry.
Energy can be 30% of production costs. The result: deindustrialization.
3/ The auto sector reveals the damage.
It represents 7% of EU GDP and 14 million jobs. The 2035 combustion engine ban is forcing a rushed EV shift.
86,000 jobs lost since 2020. Up to 350,000 more at risk. Mercedes CEO warned they’re driving “full speed into a wall.”
When I looked at Harvard a few years ago, if you made 280K, had no savings, and eight kids, you still paid full price.
Let's say they bump that up to 350k. The marginal cost of making that extra 100K is huge, and you gotta feel like a sucker (as you should) paying $280K in tuition over four years, when someone making 250K pays zero.
Especially when in some parts of the country, 250 goes further than 350 in the expensive parts. And especially because the 70K a year post-tax brings your effective income close to or below 250.

One strategy that can work for the upper-upper middle class family is to only apply to excellent, prestigious schools that have merit scholarships. Some that I've come across are Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, Wash U., Washington & Lee (10% of the class goes for free!).
And the process is pretty arbitrary, e.g., a friend whose kid got rejected or waitlisted at every Ivy plus Georgetown and others, but got a full tuition merit scholarship to Vanderbilt. 3/

- this is a six piece build meant to support 3 homes (possibly 4 if made as a standalone)!
- the sizing settings are NOT optional, if you want the build to look like the pictures above, please size them exactly! any gaps are due to incorrect sizing.
Harvey Weinstein: Jury Has Another Note, 11:29 a.m.
BREAKING, HARVEY WEINSTEIN: 11:20 a.m was the exact time of the note:
"The members of the jury have concluded we cannot come to a unanimous decision."
Judge Farber is going to issue an allen charge. The lawyers are all looking down. Weinstein is just staring at Farber. Stay tuned.
Part of the Allen charge that Judge Curtis Farber read only to the lawyers indicated that if the jury continued deliberating, they would eventually reach a verdict. Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo argued he objected to that language, saying it was not factual (paraphrasing). Blumberg argues this is the standard charge and shouldn't be altered.
Farber is going to take the sentence out. Jury coming back in.
I picked up this $5 VESA Local Bus I/O card at the System Source Swap Meet. Let's test it out! Time for a 🧵
This card is a SIIG Professional VL. And it has your typical I/O as you can see here: dual IDE, FDD, 2 serial, 1 parallel, and 1 game
We'll start out with a base case, which includes the Promise EIDE 4030 card that is installed. I did do a quick bootup with this card installed, and it was successful.
Mohammed Shorab, a schizophrenic man from Khan Younis, disappeared 1,5 year ago
18 months later he was found put “FOR SALE” by [@IDF] soldiers on instagram
[@GLAN_LAW] & [@HaMokedRights] reached to Israeli prison service. They replied: “he was never held there” ->
Mohammed Shorrab vanished on 20 August 2024. Eighteen months later, his family recognized him alive after his picture circulated being put on sale ״ למכירה״, from a soldier of [@IDF]’s Givati Brigade ->
Who Is Mohammed Shorrab?
Mohammed Rabee Saed Shorrab is a 41 yo Palestinian man from Khan Younis. Since 19th of April, 2006, he has lived with schizophrenia, a serious psychiatric condition formally diagnosed at the Khan Younis Mental Health Center under file number 8747 -> (obtained from the family)
Allah says:
“They are garments for you, and you are garments for them.”
(Qur’an 2:187)
One word.Libās.
And it carries a meaning most people miss.
Allah didn’t choose the word libas randomly.
Because a garment is not just something you wear… it is is something that:
stays closest to you
protects you
covers you
and brings you comfort
Here are some supplements that don't and can actually help you in a variety of areas, ranging from your brain and gut health all the way to your hormones and skin health.
Thread🧵
*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*
Note: This is about supplements indeed but if you do not get sunlight, exercise, eat whole foods, try to avoid vices such as excessive alcohol consumption and so on, then supplements will not save you.
Plenty of foods have more benefits that not only compared to the supplements at a low/medium price point but a very high as well. If a supplement, had the history and benefits of kefir for example, it would sell a lot. It’s just that you can only make so much profit from foods. I can’t sell you for example a $30 bottle of kefir yet i can very easily sell someone a $30 bottle of probiotics.
The right supplements CAN be useful and maybe even life saving. I am not dismissing them. At all. This is why we will talk about them.
This is just about having the right priorities.
Also, every single of these supplements that are mentioned will backfire for some people.
It's mathematically impossible not to.
If only 3.000 people read this and out of them 300 choose to use one, it's impossible for one of them to not react badly to it.
Does this fact make the supplement bad? No.
It makes it bad within a certain context.
So, read the studies that are linked.
Now let's talk about the supplements (not presented by order of importance).
Number 1: Magnesium.
Magnesium is involved in over 3700 enzymatic reactions in the body.
So without enough magnesium, nothing really works. But supplement wise, which form should you pick?
Here's a basic breakdown
Form 1: Magnesium citrate
This is a quite bioavailable form (not as much as glycinate or malate though in many cases) that combines magnesium with citric acid but because of this (most commercial citric acid comes from Aspergillus species), you should only use it to resolve constipation and if you have MCAS or histamine intolerance you should not use it.
Form 2: Magnesium oxide.
Throw this in the trash.
This is just a cheap form that results in the creation of pro-oxidant compounds (obviously) with a 4% bioavailability (to put this into perspective, glycinate can reach up to 40% in some cases).
Form 3: Magnesium glycinate.
This is a form where magnesium is bound to glycine and the form that most people should start with since it’s pretty bioavailable, cheap and it’s great for supporting sleep and stress reduction.
Form 4: Magnesium malate.
This is a form where magnesium is paired with malic acid (a compound that’s found in apples).
It’s perfect for people who either battle aluminum toxicity or just focus on overall detoxing.
All forms of magnesium can help by lowering aluminum retention in bones and tissues overall but malic acid can also bind certain heavy metals such as aluminum.
The effects are mild and you can not rely just on this for aluminum toxicity, but it’s something good to know in my opinion. Compared to other oral forms, it seems to be better for muscle recovery as well and support the krebs cycle more.
Form 5: Magnesium threonate
This form, has gained a lot of popularity for the overall benefits it can have on the brain and that’s because it crosses the blood-brain barrier. It’s a form where magnesium is bound to threonic acid (a metabolite of vitamin C).
Form 6: Magnesium acetyl taurate
If you have high blood pressure, anxiety and want to focus on your overall CVD health, this form is for you.
Form 7: Magnesium chloride
This form where magnesium is bound to chloride, is typically used for muscle recovery but it’s also great for people who have serious digestive issues and can’t absorb a lot of things.
Disclaimer: If you are extremely deficient in magnesium and decide to use MgCl, it will sting, a lot.
From 8: Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts)
This from where magnesium is paired with sulfate is also great for muscle recovery but not ideal for increasing the levels within our bodies.
Note 1: If you have profound gut issues and for whatever reason you also react badly to topical forms of magnesium. Magnesium l aspartate hydrochloride is your best bet since it does not really alter gastric pH or binds hydrochloric acid.
Note 2: When it come to bicarb, it could reduce calcium buildup in soft tissues a bit and help with constipation. But it's quite expensive and if you choose to make it yourself, make sure that it stays cold, not overconsuming in order to not dilute my stomach acid etc.
His latest nuclear threats is attempt to convince Russians that he still holds cards.
After 4 years of war, much of its Black Sea Fleet damaged, territorial gains limited, so Moscow relies on nuclear rhetoric to project strength. 1/
Kremlin’s latest showpiece is the RS-28 Sarmat, branded “Satan II.”
Putin claims it can strike targets 21,750 miles away and bypass Western missile defenses — but the program suffered repeated delays and failed tests. 2/
Sarmat is liquid-fueled, requiring lengthy launch preparation from fixed silos — a vulnerability against modern precision-strike systems used by NATO countries. 3/

I'm not sure what your point is. We define CEC as the ability to use radar and sensor data from multiple ships, aircraft, and other platforms into a single, shared fire-control-grade picture. So yeah, the E-2D being CEC means that it can pass fire control grade info to shooters.
As for why X-band is the usual choice for fighters, it boils down to multiple reasons such as antenna size and associated angular accuracy, integration constraints, and beam agility. Using S-band or lower for fighter antennas is nonsensical due to the limited physical aperture...
...and integration problems (compare the size of X-band and S-band TRMs).
All in all, X-band is just the sweetspot for sub-meter diameter antennas, and building an S-band GP fighter radar would be nonsensical.
