🇷🇺🇺🇦 Reports of a worsening situation in the area of responsibility of the Vostok group of forces
The enemy has indeed deployed additional forces on the northern flank of the group, has stepped up attacks and is trying to continue infiltrating in small groups.
The enemy has indeed deployed additional forces on the northern flank of the group, has stepped up attacks and is trying to continue infiltrating in small groups.
At the same time, even the authors of disturbing publications note the stabilizing and counterattacking actions of our units, and in some areas there is a lack of stable control by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
We constantly pay attention, and we repeat once again: a few people in a wooded area, on the outskirts, or inside a populated area does not mean that it has been captured. Sustained control begins where the enemy is able to gain a foothold,

Postkartenaktion: Jens Spahn muss ganz zurücktreten!
Grüß Gott und guten Tag, Erwin,
ein Brief wiegt mehr als eine E-Mail, deshalb habe ich
den Unionsabgeordneten Post geschickt. Jetzt haben die Abgeordneten es schriftlich und per Einschreiben, dass über 48.000 Bürger verlangen: Jens Spahn muss ganz zurücktreten. Wenn er sich weigert, muss die CDU ihn aus Partei und Fraktion ausschließen.Wer nach
Amerika fliegt, um deutsche Gesetze zu umgehen und ein Baby zu kaufen, darf nicht länger für Deutschland Gesetze machen.Spahn selbst habe ich natürlich auch einen Brief geschickt, dass er zurücktreten soll.Aber wissen Sie, was noch mehr wiegt als ein

A Correção em IA

A despeito do forte recuo do petróleo ontem, com a sinalização de mais um cessar fogo no Oriente Médio e mais uma tentativa de acordo entre EUA o Irã, o que impulsionou os ativos de risco em geral, a bolsa americana voltou a mostrar dispersão e movimentos contrários entre as principais teses de IA. No curto-prazo, o setor de semicondutores, o grande "queridinho" do mercado nos últimos meses, parece estar passando por questionamentos em relação a competição e sustentabilidade da demanda, em meio a um quadro técnico mais comprometido.

A despeito do forte recuo do petróleo ontem, com a sinalização de mais um cessar fogo no Oriente Médio e mais uma tentativa de acordo entre EUA o Irã, o que impulsionou os ativos de risco em geral, a bolsa americana voltou a mostrar dispersão e movimentos contrários entre as principais teses de IA. No curto-prazo, o setor de semicondutores, o grande "queridinho" do mercado nos últimos meses, parece estar passando por questionamentos em relação a competição e sustentabilidade da demanda, em meio a um quadro técnico mais comprometido.
A queda de mais 10% do Kospi essa noite, acumulando 37% desde o pico de junho, reflete a forte correção das empresas de semicondutores diante dos avanços da China em chips avançados. Ao mesmo tempo, o ciclo de investimentos em IA segue pressionando o caixa das hyperscalers, aumentando as dúvidas sobre sua monetização e sustentabilidade. A principal questão passa a ser quando esses investimentos começarão a gerar retornos suficientes para justificar o elevado capex.
Além disso, saindo do curto-prazo, o mercado parece estar entrando em uma nova fase do ciclo, com a liderança migrando de uma alta mais disseminada para empresas de maior qualidade. À medida que o ciclo amadurece, geração de caixa, expansão de margens e ganhos de produtividade voltam a ser os principais diferenciais competitivos, reduzindo a relevância de histórias sustentadas apenas por elevados investimentos. Nesse contexto, as empresas mais bem posicionadas para capturar os benefícios da IA continuam sendo vistas como as principais vencedoras.

Your blood sugar can look completely normal while insulin resistance is silently getting worse.
Why? Your pancreas may be working overtime to hide it.
Here are 6 everyday habits that push your cells toward insulin resistance:

1. DRINKING YOUR SUGAR
Sugary fruit drinks, soda, sweet tea and energy drinks deliver glucose and fructose rapidly, with little satiety.
In Internal Medicine, I ask about drinks first: repeated excess can promote liver fat and hepatic insulin resistance.

2. SITTING FOR HOURS
Patients often ask me, “Dr Priyam, I exercise for an hour, why does sitting matter?”
Skeletal muscle is your biggest glucose sink. Long inactive hours reduce post-meal glucose clearance.
My advice: walk 10–15 minutes after meals.

1/ Russia has doubled the rate of personal income tax to cover the budget deficits caused by the war in Ukraine. However, as a gloomy Russian commentary notes, it's likely to have dire effects on the economy and the country's already declining demographics. ⬇️

"In 2025, Russian authorities doubled personal income tax collection at rates exceeding 13%, turning citizens' incomes and savings into one of the fastest-growing sources of budget deficit financing."

Quand Philippe de Villiers utilise le Moyen Âge pour alimenter ses propos anti-islam : un exemple tiré de son dernier livre (Populicide), avec un chapitre consacré à la conquête islamique de l'Espagne wisigothique... Un thread (très) critique ⬇️ #debunking #histoire
Comme toujours, le thread est un peu long, mais il faut bien si on veut être un minimum précis. Comme toujours, j'accueille avec plaisir les questions, remarques et même critiques, et bloque les insultes et autres "t'es qu'un gauchiste" de trolls pas malins...
Le schéma global est simple : les méchants musulmans ont envahi l'Espagne (chrétienne) à cause de la trahison des élites, puis il y a eu une violente violente à cause de chrétiens lâches, mais heureusement la Reconquête a permis de chasser les méchants musulmans.
きっとヒトハとフタバはあの島の住民じゃなかったんだと思う。ほかの島民はみんな花冠なのに、ヒトハとフタバはその名の通り葉っぱ。
そして島の料理はたこ焼きすき焼き…というように焼き料理メイン。でも、煮付にして食べた。何より仲間であるはずの島民がさらわれても、真実を隠し通した。
そして島の料理はたこ焼きすき焼き…というように焼き料理メイン。でも、煮付にして食べた。何より仲間であるはずの島民がさらわれても、真実を隠し通した。
そして、セイレーンとちいかわさんに見られたことで、島民には何も告げずに島を抜け出した。2人がいないことを島民は特に心配していなかった。元からヒトハとフタバは2人きりだった。だから、どちらかがいなくなるなんて有り得ない。だからヒトハは罪を犯したし、フタバは２人での永遠を選んだ。
きっとその選択に後悔は無いと思う。たとえ深く暗い海の底で別々の檻に囚われようと、2人の絆は誰にも…セイレーンにでさえ断ち切ることは出来ない。そう、いつまでも…絶えることなく。

1/10 I am incredibly proud to share our latest study, published today in @NatureComms, a follow-up to our 2024 paper on skeletal muscle abnormalities in long COVID. Open access:

2/10 People with long COVID and ME/CFS are often told that their reduced exercise capacity and muscle abnormalities simply result from physical inactivity or “deconditioning.”
We directly tested this assumption.

Doctor's Daily Drop: 200 mg L-Theanine Before Bed (1/6)
New in Nutrients: a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover trial found that 200 mg/day of L-theanine — the calming amino acid in green tea — measurably improved sleep, stress, and cognitive performance in healthy adults. (2/6)
The science: 30 healthy adults took 200 mg L-theanine or placebo nightly for 4 weeks (crossover). Depression scores dropped (p=0.019). Trait anxiety fell (p=0.006). Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index improved on latency, disturbances, and sleep-med use (all p<0.05). (3/6)
Hainan's Xinglong Town is the origin of China's coffee industry - although it's hardly the first place you'd associate with Chinese coffee today (that's surely Yunnan).
Xinglong is a tourist town now, located a few km inland from the Wanning beaches on Hainan's southern coast.🧵
Xinglong is a tourist town now, located a few km inland from the Wanning beaches on Hainan's southern coast.🧵
We visited Xinglong a few months ago on our Hainan tour. It's pretty close to the Shimei Bay surfing area and only about 10 minutes inland off the Hainan ring expressway. The roads between Xinglong and the seaside areas are filled with tourists on rented scooters and side trails leading into forested areas with signs advertising various coffee plantations.
Xinglong is not an organic market town or fishing village that happened to grow coffee. Instead, it was a planned community created via policy. In 1951, the PRC government established the Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm (兴隆华侨农场) as a resettlement destination for ethnic Chinese from Southeast Asia. Over the following decades, roughly 15,000 ethnic Chinese from 20+ countries (primarily Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam) returned to China and were placed into Xinglong.
This was a period of substantial upheaval across many parts of SEA, which resulted in political violence either explicitly or indirectly targeting ethnic Chinese, most infamously in Indonesia. Those who chose to take up the PRC's offer of repatriation became citizens of Xinglong, bringing their Southeast Asian Chinese diaspora culture back with them.

One part of that was coffee. Unlike Yunnan, where coffee cultivation developed later as an agricultural commodity and economic opportunity, coffee came to Xinglong because the returning diaspora Chinese liked and wanted to drink the coffee they already knew.
What is called the "Xinglong style" today will be very familiar to coffee enjoyers in Southeast Asia. It uses Robusta beans instead of Arabica, roasted with butter and sugar, is brewed in a metal pot, filtered with a cloth, and served with condensed milk. Without add-ins, it is very dark, strong, and bitter. Outside of SEA, this is probably mostly commonly generalized as "Vietnamese coffee", although it's also quite similar to the "kopi" of Malaysia, Singapore, or Indonesia.

McGee’s piece on @SimonHarris investment scheme performs concern & stays safely inside the official narrative: it has “lots of potential to go wrong,” but mainly needs to be made “accessible and easy to navigate” so it can create “generational wealth.” independent.ie/business/money…

That framing accepts the premise wholesale & never really asks whether this is the right tool, why it is being pushed so hard now, or what interests it primarily serves..The deeper drivers receive almost no attention, and that is where the lack of curiosity is most revealing.
There is a clear European agenda — the Savings and Investments Union — to shift household deposits into capital markets.
Industry players want more assets under management.
Ireland has a long-standing preference for keeping large sums in low-yielding accounts. None of that is inherently illegitimate, but it raises obvious questions the article sidesteps in true @Independent_ie fashion.
🔹Is the primary purpose improving ordinary household wealth, or mobilising retail money for broader market and policy objectives?
🔹Why is deepening capital markets treated as so urgent right now?
🔹How does this push sit alongside the post-crisis bail-in framework, under which ordinary creditors and depositors can be required to absorb losses rather than taxpayers?
🔹When households are encouraged to move money out of deposits and into market products, who ultimately carries more of the risk if things go wrong?
🔹When the language of “generational wealth” is used so freely, is it describing a realistic outcome for typical savers, or is it covering the more prosaic goal of moving deposits off bank balance sheets and into investable products?

There is a sharper question the piece also declines to ask.
@SimonHarrisTD is presenting himself as the champion of generational wealth, while belonging to a party that was in power as much of that wealth was wiped out in the banking collapse - including through the fraudulent actions and failures of British-owned banks operating in Ireland - this smacks of selective memory at best & hypocrisy at worst.
@Independent_ie for its part, has shown no interest in the hidden credit lines scandal story of the past two decades. Here’s a report - note Largest Fraud: bankconfidential.com/wp-content/upl…
A curious analysis would at least query some tension between the new rhetoric and the recent @FineGael historical & diabolical record.

1/7 THIS is what is SO infuriating...our government that says it has NO MONEY for helping struggling American families but ALWAYS find a way to come up with money when THEY need it. One way they did it was cutting ONE TRILLION from our medical insurance plans and 350 BILLION
2/7 from our SNAP benefits, which REALLY affects children, ensuring that they are fed. Trump USED this money to fund ICE and other programs, stealing from the POOR to give to the RICH is what he did. Politicians ALWAYS become millionaires even though they receive only $174,000 a
3/7 year...go figure. It is BAD enough our "president" refuses to address the concerns of a hurting nation, but to then have his political party BACK HIM UP is just further insult. In Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, not only did the Republicans who voted on it to pass KNOW
