All the Beekeeper stuff with Trump & King Charles... at the White House really intrigued me the other day, so I decided to dig deeper into the symbology of it.. Starting from the bringing.. elENoCHle delivered masterful take on the bees display to King Charles on the South Lawn… On the South Lawn of the White House, President Trump guided King Charles III and the Queen straight to the freshly expanded beehives. Moments earlier, Melania had unveiled a striking new hive designed in the precise shape of the White House. As the royals looked on, a single bee landed calmly on Trump’s open palm. This carried ancient weight. British and Scottish tradition, long kept by royal and rural families, demands formally “telling the bees” of major household changes — death, marriage, or a new master. Ignore it, and the colony may leave. After Queen Elizabeth II passed, the royal beekeeper delivered the words: “The Queen is dead. Long live the King.” Trump, with his distant Scottish Stuart ties to the royals, performed this tradition on American soil. He presented the thriving hives to the visiting monarch. In the deeper reading, it marked a living transfer: two great hives — the nations themselves — realigning under renewed stewardship. Trump stood clearly in command on home ground; the King observed quietly. The bees, and the watching world, registered who now tends the hive. President Trump. NOW, lets add to this 🔻 The Masonic Bee: Blueprint of Order and Industry— The beehive remains one of Freemasonry’s most powerful symbols, especially in the Master Mason degree. That is a fact.. They say it embodies industry, disciplined cooperation, harmony, and regeneration — the perfect emblem of ordered society under rightful mastery. 🔻 The WH posted a meme of President Trump as the new Beekeeper.. most people think it’s a funny meme .. but it’s rather symbolic— the core mission of the Beekeepers: a clandestine force dedicated to protecting the greater hive (society itself) by rooting out corruption, scams, and parasitic elements that threaten the natural order. Then It all clicked… remember this? 👇 🔻 The Trap and the Awakening February 3, Nicki Minaj and Scott Bessent released a music video together. The song — “BEES IN A TRAP” They were telling you… The title alone said it — bees confined in an artificial snare. The moment highlighted exposure and the breaking of old constraints. The message has been delivered. The authentic Masonic hive — rooted in visible industry and legitimate stewardship — is reasserting itself. The synthetic traps are crumbling. The swarm senses the shift and follows the true master. The hive is stirring. The bees have been told. 🐝show more

Looking for the perfect holiday gift for your baby?... How about a “face book?” I’ve written often about how much infants love the faces of their loved ones. Indeed, we’re biologically driven from birth to distinguish - and study - the faces that matter most. That’s because, as infants, the faces of our primary caregivers teach us lessons about everything from our safety to how language works. The brain has specific structures that help us to detect and distinguish between specific faces, including the fusiform face area, a part of the visual system specialized for this very task. I’ll have more to say about holiday gift giving soon (spoiler alert: for little ones, developmentally, less is more) but really love the idea of a baby friendly (soft) photo album - which offers not only a glimpse of their favorite sight, but a chance to see significant faces that they may or may not encounter each day (such as grandparents and other extended family). There are tons of them on the market. Look for something safe and soft.. and stock it only with duplicate photos you’ll be ok with sustaining the kind of wear and tear that babies are so skilled at providing.

Here's a simple explanation of how nnEMFs negatively impact... our health (affect anything from fertility, to hormones, to sleep etc) . We (humans) evolved amid natural low-level, unpolarized ELF/geomagnetic fields and electromagnetic frequencies such as 300GHz, 300MHz or even 60Hz that can be found in sources of nnEMFs ranging from your smartphone all the way to radars and satellites. So unlike native EMFs, which occur naturally from the earth’s magnetic field or sunlight for example, nnEMFs have frequencies, intensities and patterns that differ from those our biology evolved to handle. Some key characteristics of nnEMFs include: -They are classified by frequency (measured in hertz (Hz)) -They include extremely low frequency (ELF) fields (such as 50–60 Hz from power lines), radiofrequency (RF) fields (such as 300 kHz–300 GHz, used in mobile phones and Wi-Fi) and microwave frequencies (such as 2.45 GHz in microwaves). -They (nnEMFs) are polarized and pulsed unlike natural EMFs, which are often unpolarized and continuous. Now the seven key biological mechanisms underlying the negative effects of nnEMFs include: -Oxidative stress. nnEMFs, particularly RF fields, can increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) like superoxide or hydroxyl radicals and cause lipid peroxidation in cells, thus alterling antioxidant enzyme levels (such as superoxide dismutase) and damaging cell membranes, proteins and DNA. -Calcium channel dysregulation. nnEMFs, increase intracellular calcium through voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). VGCCs are large protein complexes that “open” in response to electrical signals (they open when the membrane depolarizes (becomes less negative)), in order for calcium ions to enter cells (due to its concentration gradient (higher outside than inside cells)) and nnEMFs act as an external electrical stimulus. VGCCs trigger neurotransmitter release (particularly glutamate), initiate contraction in cardiac and skeletal muscle for example, eegulate hormone secretion, control gene expression, enzyme activity and apoptosis. -DNA damage. nnEMFs, may induce single- and double-strand DNA breaks, directly (through energy transfer) or indirectly (through ROS). -Melatonin suppression. This happens possibly by altering neuronal signaling or mimicking some signals of light exposure but human and animal studies show reduced melatonin levels after RFR exposure, particularly at night. -Increasing blood-brain barrier permeability. This is well documented in animal studies that show increased blood-brain barrier leakage after RFR exposure, but it’s true that human research is limited. Yet based on the 4 previous mechanisms that were just discussed this isn’t unlikely and nnEMFs probably increase permeability of endothelial cells in barriers in humans as well, probably through oxidative stress or calcium-mediated tight junction disruption. -Autonomic nervous system dysregulation. It’s documented that nnEMFs alter sympathetic and parasympathetic activity thus affecting heart rate variability and of course, animal studies show even altered neurotransmitter levels. -Disruption of cellular electrical balance. Our cells maintain a negative membrane potential (resting potential) and nnEMFs interfere with ion channels altering membrane potential and disrupting processes like nerve signaling, muscle contraction or enzyme function. Then of course there are other ones such as heat shock protein induction for example (cell culture studies show increased HSP expression after EMF exposure, even at non-thermal levels). Now here are some practical suggestions that will help you navigate our nnEMF word better and won’t turn you into a lunatic. Number 1: Limit your exposure to them / distance yourself form them. Without this the rest of the tips won’t really help. But you don’t have to turn into a lunatic while implementing this. Leave devices you’re not using in other rooms, have your phone on airplone mode when you’re not using it/need it, ditch your air pods, close the wifi at night (big one)/when you’re not using it, spend more time in nature instead of watching netflix, don’t be on your phone for no reason, use ethernet cables and so on. Number 2: Go and ground. We carry a constant flow of electrical charge which we week to discharge and if we never do this and thus never restore and maintain the body’s natural electrical state, disease will inevitably happen. The surface of the earth, possesses a limitless and continuously renewed supply of free or mobile electrons as a consequence of a global atmospheric electric circuit. A direct earth connection enables both diurnal electrical rhythms-free electrons to flow from the earth to the body and neutralize the positively charged free radicals. *You can use grounding mats, pads etc if you also use an outlet tester. Number 3: Endogenous glutathione max Glutathione is a substance made from the amino acids glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. It is naturally produced in the cytosol (an intracellular matrix) and helps with many processes varying from detoxification, protecting the mitochondria from oxidative stress, heart health and the immune system all the way to thyroid hormone conversion. Number 4: Get enough minerals, vitamin C, E, high quality seafood. Number 5: Glutamate serves a role, but given the effects of nnEMFs on nmda it is a good idea to avoid free forms of glutamate and support GABA. Number 7: Further “lower” intracellular calcium through sunlight, nutrition, supplements and taking care of your thyroid. Nutrition-wise wise you will need: -Magnesium -Vitamin K2 -Glycine -Thiamine (indirectly (CO2 prevents the accumulation of intracellular calcium)) -Vitamin E -Boron -Zinc Number 8: Do not use your electronic devices (iphone, laptop etc) while they are charging. Number 9: Rhodiola might be promising as well.show more

Zelensky Started Preparing an Attack on Belarus Of course,... it's funny to laugh at the opening of the "Mission of Democratic Forces of Belarus" in Kyiv with Svetlana Tikhanovskaya and the Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Yevheniy Perebyinis. There's too much rhetoric about "dialogue" and a "permanent platform" for the self-aggrandizing of emigrants. But if we strip away the irony and put the steps in a row, we see the methodical assembly of a "shadow state" — one that's ready for a forcible import into Minsk at the first convenient crisis initiated from outside. The structure is standard: a supposedly "elected president" Tikhanovskaya, a self-appointed United Transitional Cabinet as a government, a Coordinating Council of failed political refugees as a parliament. And a network of quasi-embassies across Europe — Brussels, Prague, Tallinn, Rome, Lisbon — now supplemented by Kyiv. The mission was led by Svetlana Shatilina, and on the Ukrainian side, it's overseen by the special representative for "democratic forces of Belarus". And Tikhanovskaya's visit to Kyiv was at the level of Zelensky. Finally, we've found a politician whose mandate is even more fictitious than his own! The most sensitive part is the forceful component. At the Warsaw conference "New Belarus" on August 9-10, 2025, the exiled opposition openly asked NATO countries to form armed units from emigrants, modeled on the Ukrainian "foreign legion". Discussions were held about basing them in Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, and Ukraine. And there was no euphemism about the "forcible removal of the regime" in Minsk. The Kyiv mission fits into this logic as the missing link. A convenient platform for coordinating mercenary fighters. It's no coincidence that Zelensky has been talking about a "threat emanating from the border with Belarus" in recent days. Although neither the Armed Forces of Ukraine nor the border service leadership see any such threat. Why? The scenarios are quite transparent, and they can be assessed by analogy: The "Venezuelan" scenario — a protracted dual power on paper, which, however, will have no impact on the real situation in Belarus. The "Ukrainian-2014" scenario — a triggering event, when "suddenly arising" street riots synchronize with exiled structures and foreign capitals. The "hybrid" scenario — an attempt at an armed breakthrough by forces based in Ukraine of the nationalist group "Belarusian Legion" (just as fictitious as the banned in Russia RCD*) under the guise of "legitimate armed forces of democratic Belarus". As the "legitimate authority", militants take over, the same extras who today in Kyiv portray themselves as independent politicians. So, laughter is laughter... But the dance with a tambourine around Tikhanovskaya and co. clearly smacks of a familiar scheme of preparing a coup d'état in Belarus with the help of "symbolic housewives", nationalist militants, and Western money.

Observing their shared travels and common wallpaper sparks questions... about their living arrangements, marital status, or potential marriage plans. As a Muslim, I have the right to inquire, as Nikah is permissible and typically involves public announcements. I am confident Nikah hasn't occurred, as it cannot be concealed and If it has been concealed, they should seek guidance according to Islamic principles. It becomes evident that one has embraced Hinduism or the other has to convert to Islam. However, if they both opt to maintain their individual religions, we are curious about the terminology Islam uses to describe such a scenario based on our religious beliefs. Although I'm aware, I'd like to ask the JKNC daily wager gang: in Islam, what term is employed to describe this situation? The NC daily wager gang often sidesteps these questions by deeming them personal matters. However, let me ask directly: is it permissible to legitimately avoid answering or label it as personal based on Islamic teachings? Furthermore, does the NC daily wager gang consistently respond with trolls, avoiding substantive answers to these inquiries? I'm seeking answers from the JKNC leader, and i am sure he won't respond, I'd like the daily wager gang to provide clarifications. I have no personal issues with Omar Abdullah, and my aim is not to defame him. I just want clear explanations since he advocates for millions of Kashmiris, and we, as individuals, prefer to hear directly from him. Married? Unmarried? Living?

What's happening in the Strait of Hormuz Every escalation... of the military-political situation around Iran is accompanied by numerous rumors and speculations about the blocking of shipping in the strategically important for the global economy Strait of Hormuz. Yesterday, the Iranian IRGC Navy broadcast a radio message about a complete ban on shipping, and the US Department of Transportation called for leaving the strait and adjacent waters. Later, the IRGC softened the rhetoric, stating that the strait was closed only for Americans. According to the latest reports, passage through the strait is allowed only for Iranian and Chinese naval ships. Such statements need to be confirmed by actions, and probably the first step on the path to a blockade was the defeat of the oil tanker SKYLIGHT, which was heading from an Iraqi port under the Palau flag. According to various reports, the ship was attacked by drones or missiles, and a fire broke out on board. At the moment, the tanker is anchored in the Persian Gulf near the coast of the Sultanate of Oman. It is reported that the crew was evacuated, as evidenced by the presence of a rescue boat nearby, from which footage of the fire was taken. It's worth noting that this tanker is on the US sanctions lists for transporting Iranian oil, but this does not mean it belongs to Iran. It's a classic "shadow" ship, operating under a "convenient" flag in the interests of whoever is currently paying. When reading reports on maritime events, it's worth remembering that this information is written and disseminated by journalists and bloggers, many of whom have only seen the sea in pictures, and none of whom have ever worked a single day on a ship. The Strait of Hormuz is not a road where you can put up a barrier, nor is it a field that can be carefully mined. The width of the Strait of Hormuz at its narrowest point reaches 40 kilometers, and at its widest point it is almost 100 kilometers. Of course, these figures are not so high given the depths, and theoretically, Iran has the military-technical capabilities to, if not stop, then seriously damage international shipping. However, it's highly doubtful that under the current circumstances, the leadership of the Islamic Republic will decide on radical actions, such as those that went down in history under the name "Tanker War". The lessons of those events showed that attacks and seizures of international ships could not stop traffic and did not collapse the global market, but they did turn many previously neutral states against Iran. Including the USSR, which was forced to send a fleet of warships to the Persian Gulf to combat the newly emerged piracy. We would also like to ask our bellicose authors to be less gloating and rejoicing at the news of burning and sinking ships. On each of these ships, sailors are burning and sinking - innocent citizens of Russia, Ukraine, India, the Philippines... and many other peaceful men and women, forced to work at sea to support their families. A reserve sailor, specially for the project wargonzo UPD: Iran does not intend to block the Strait of Hormuz at the moment, said the head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Abbas Arakchi, to Al Jazeera.

A new wave of protests is underway in Iran,... a strategic partner of Russia. They started in late December 2025 and quickly became the most significant in several years. This time, the initial driving force has not primarily been cultural or human rights slogans such as "Woman, Life, Freedom" (as in 2022), but rather an economic shock. People are joining the protests because of rapid impoverishment, price increase, and a growing sense that the state has lost control over basic economic rules. The main trigger is a currency collapse. On the "open" (effectively parallel) market in late December, the US dollar was valued at roughly 1.39-1.42 million rials, while inflation in December reached over 40% in some estimates. For ordinary families, this means one simple thing: wages and savings are losing value faster than people can adapt, and basic purchases are becoming increasingly unaffordable. The protests were the largest in Tehran, particularly in commercial districts linked to major markets and urban trade. Notably, a key form of pressure has been not only street demonstrations but also merchants’ strikes - mass shop closures and an effective shutdown of trade. Such actions are harder to neutralize through targeted arrests, as they immediately affect urban life and the economy. Within days, the protest wave started spreading to other cities and reached parts of the university sector as well. Students and young people have taken up economic demands and quickly moved on to political questions about the accountability of those in power. The authorities’ response has been mixed. On the one hand, the government has publicly spoken of readiness for dialogue with representatives of the protesters and the trading community. On the other hand, reports from the ground indicate coercive containment measures: arrests, dispersals, and crackdowns. In several provinces, deaths and injuries have already been reported. The figures vary across sources, which is typical for Iran due to information restrictions, but the very fact of fatalities during clashes has been confirmed by several major media outlets. What makes this wave of protests particularly risky for the regime is that it rests on the urban economic base: small and medium-sized businesses, commerce, and the "bazaar." Even if these groups have not always been at the forefront of political protests, they serve as a sensitive barometer of legitimacy. When the "bazaar" shuts down, it signals not only discontent, but also doubt about the state’s ability to maintain basic order. Alongside the internal crisis, external risks are also mounting. Sanctions continue to narrow Iran’s financial and technological room for maneuver, while signals are emerging in the media about the possibility of a new round of coercive pressure on Iran in 2026 - particularly following discussions within the Israel-US-Iran triangle. ❓ What could come next? Four trajectories appear most realistic, and they may even overlap. ▪️ First, controlled de-escalation: the authorities attempt to "cool things down" through targeted economic measures and negotiations with the trading community. This would work only if the exchange rate and prices stabilize. ▪️ Second, wave-like protests: smaller in scale but more frequent and more radical, with repeated flare-ups across different cities and sectors. ▪️ Third, harsh repression: a tightening of the security apparatus and severe sentences, which may temporarily suppress mobilization but typically accumulate deferred anger. ▪️ Fourth, external escalation: which could either temporarily shift the domestic agenda or, conversely, sharply worsen economic conditions and bring people back onto the streets even faster. ‼️ Iran is one of Russia’s authoritarian partners, which raises a logical question: what consequences could the current crisis have for Russian-Iranian relations? If the situation in Iran deteriorates but the regime as a whole survives, the partnership with Russia is likely to be preserved or even strengthened. For Tehran, Moscow remains one of the few major partners available under sanctions and diplomatic isolation; for Moscow, Iran is an important component of its "anti-sanctions" infrastructure and political rear. In the short term, this is unlikely to significantly weaken Russia’s position. The most critical military component for Russia - the Shahed/Geran drone line - has already been largely integrated into Russian domestic production, meaning that a direct disruption of Iranian supplies would probably not be a turning point. More tangible risks for Russia emerge in the medium term if Iran enters a phase of governance paralysis or prolonged instability that undermines its ability to honor agreements. In that case, logistics and infrastructure projects would be hit first - especially those Russia views as alternative sanction-era routes, including the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and its critical segments. In such a scenario, Moscow would lose the Iranian vector for trade and transit and would face a less predictable partner in technology transfers and financial settlements. The most ambiguous scenario is one in which Iran’s deterioration is linked to a new external escalation (strikes or war). The effects for Russia could be mixed: on the one hand, heightened risks in the Persian Gulf often push oil prices higher, potentially boosting Russian oil revenues; on the other hand, war increases the likelihood of tighter sanctions enforcement and maritime controls, complicating both Iranian and Russian sanction-evasion schemes and disrupting logistics. In other words, "deterioration in Iran" does not guarantee a weakening of Russia, but it does increase environmental instability. Moscow may gain from higher energy prices, but lose in terms of partner predictability and transport capacity. ‼️ Russia’s position would weaken most sharply in a scenario where a new leadership in Tehran moves toward normalization with the West or at least distances itself from Moscow. In that case, the entire "anti-sanctions" framework - financial settlements, technological cooperation, and joint projects - would come under pressure, including the North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and its key Rasht-Astara segment, in which Russia is investing both financially and politically. For Russia, this would mean the loss of an important (though not the only) route and partner infrastructure in the region. While the purely military Shahed/Geran component may be somewhat less critical due to partial localization of production inside Russia, Iran’s political and logistical value as a partner would nonetheless diminish.show more

One Law for All or No Law at All... Sharia councils are being normalised as part of “British values.” That lie strikes at the heart of our democracy The Great Betrayal of British Values When a government minister claims that Sharia councils are in line with British values, it is not diplomacy. It is surrender. It shows how far our leaders have drifted from the principles that once held this country together. This is not a debate about faith. It is about power, justice, and the quiet collapse of equality under the law. For years, politicians have turned British values into a slogan. Something printed on leaflets, recited in schools, or used in speeches to fill the silence. But when those values are tested, when they require courage, the same people who preach them fall silent. Sharia councils have become the latest example of that cowardice, presented as cultural understanding when in truth they represent the abandonment of fairness. Three Ways Sharia Councils Betray British Values The evidence is clear. Sharia councils are not harmless cultural bodies. They are operating systems that contradict the most basic principles of justice. 1. Women Trapped in Unequal Marriages In many cases men can end a marriage with a simple verbal declaration. Women, meanwhile, must seek permission from all-male panels who hold power over their lives. They face pressure from families and communities to comply. The idea that this is voluntary is absurd. It strips women of the rights they would have in a British court and replaces equality with submission. 2. Daughters Denied Equal Inheritance Under British law, a daughter has the same right to inherit as her brother. Under Sharia law, she receives half. That fact alone should end the discussion about compatibility. To claim this system reflects British values is an insult to the very idea of equality. 3. Coercion Hidden Behind Tradition Sharia councils are often described as voluntary mediators. Yet in many communities, refusing to attend one brings shame and isolation. Women are pressured, intimidated, and sometimes ostracised if they choose the British courts instead. This is not freedom. It is social control wrapped in the language of faith. Each of these examples exposes a fundamental conflict. Sharia councils do not uphold British values. They undermine them. What the Government’s Own Reviews Revealed The government knows this problem exists. It has been documented in its own investigations. The Siddiqui Review in 2016, commissioned by the Home Office, exposed widespread discrimination against women and confusion about the legal authority of Sharia councils. It warned that women were being denied their rights and that decisions were being made in conditions of inequality. The Home Affairs Committee Inquiry examined whether these councils were creating a parallel legal system. It found that the lack of oversight allowed inconsistent, unfair, and sometimes unlawful outcomes. The Casey Review on integration reached a similar conclusion. It warned that regressive religious and cultural practices were dividing communities and holding back equality, particularly for women. All three reviews raised the alarm. All three were quietly ignored. A Pattern of Betrayal We have seen this pattern before. When councils and police turned a blind eye to grooming gangs, they said they were protecting community cohesion. When officials downplayed reports of abuse, they said they were promoting tolerance. Every time, the victims were ordinary people. The same cowardice is at work here. Leaders are so afraid of being called intolerant that they allow injustice to thrive in plain sight. The language changes, the excuses change, but the betrayal stays the same. The Road to a Two-Tier Britain The idea that Sharia councils are compatible with British values is not just false. It is dangerous. It leads to a country where justice depends on who you are and which community you belong to. Once the law becomes negotiable, it stops being the law. When equality is treated as optional, ordinary people lose faith that the system will protect them. That loss of faith corrodes democracy from within. What Must Happen Next There is still time to act, but only if the response matches the scale of the problem. The government cannot continue to pretend that reform alone will solve this. What we face is not a matter of better regulation. It is a question of whether Britain is prepared to defend the principle of one law for all. 1. Every Islamic marriage must be registered under British law. This single act would protect thousands of women who currently discover, often after years of marriage, that they have no legal status, no right to property, and no protection in divorce. Registration brings marriages into the legal system where fairness is enforceable and justice is not dependent on religious interpretation. 2. Sharia councils must no longer be allowed to operate in the shadows. At a minimum, they should be subject to a binding code of practice with full transparency, legal oversight, and public accountability. Their decisions should have no standing in British law, and no council should ever be allowed to present itself as a court. 3. We must go further. There is now a compelling argument for the outright closure of Sharia councils. For years, politicians have treated them as an inevitable feature of multicultural Britain. Yet their existence has created a parallel system of justice that undermines equality and fragments the social fabric. A country cannot claim to defend equality under the law while simultaneously licensing institutions that deny it. The two ideas cannot coexist. The choice is simple. Either we have one legal system that protects everyone equally, or we have many systems that protect no one fully. People must be told the truth about their rights. Too many are pressured into believing that Sharia rulings carry legal authority when they do not. Public education, legal outreach, and community engagement are essential to break the cycle of misinformation and coercion. This is not about opposing faith. It is about protecting fairness. No religion should sit above the law. No citizen should live under a different standard of justice because of their background or beliefs. The law must serve every citizen equally, or it serves no one at all. The Line That Cannot Be Crossed British values are not negotiable. They are not slogans or soundbites. They are the foundation of a free society built on equality before the law. To say that Sharia councils reflect those values is to empty them of all meaning. It betrays the women silenced in community meetings, the citizens abandoned by institutions, and the principle of justice itself. If our leaders are too frightened to defend the rule of law, then the duty falls to ordinary people to speak up. Because once we accept that different groups can live under different laws, we will have given up the very idea of Britain as a single nation. When the law ceases to protect everyone equally, everything that follows is built on sand. _________ If my words have ever helped you make sense of a broken system, if they’ve ever made you feel seen, heard, or hopeful, please don’t scroll past. 🔴 Support my work.

So a lot has been said about Hearts players... being assaulted without any evidence to back it up. Edited footage of the attached video, shows a Celtic fan pushing a Hearts player - I can't distinguish who but others will be able to - however, the edited footage does not tell the full story or context suiting the agendas of those posting it up. The attached video shows the full interaction between the Hearts player and Celtic fan - and here is my take on it along with references to Scots Law after speaking to an acquaintance within the field. The Celtic fan, like others on the pitch, can be charged with Breach of the Peace for simply entering the field of play and the Celtic fan in question will almost certainly face such a charge. However, here is where it gets sticky. He is not breaking the law by simply goading or laughing at the Hearts player and videoing it. Under Scots Law, if someone knocks your phone out of your hand and then proceeds to stamp on it repeatedly - as the Hearts player did - then they can be charged with criminal damage (vandalism under the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995). Under section 52 of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995, vandalism is committed when someone “wilfully or recklessly” destroys or damages property belonging to another “without reasonable excuse.” A mobile phone clearly falls within “property belonging to another,” and repeatedly stamping on it generally satisfies the “without reasonable excuse” and “wilful or reckless” requirements. It doesn’t matter if the incident happens on public/private property or in this case on a football pitch. The person who stomps on the phone is still potentially facing a charge for vandalism, even if the Celtic fan seen here is committing a breach of the peace by entering the field of play. The breach of the peace charge would be dealt with separately, it doesn’t erase the Hearts player's criminal responsibility for trying to destroy the fan's property. The Celtic fan is then seen pushing the footballer away in order to stop them from destroying their phone/property and attempts to recover it before stewards pounce on him, that push may amount to lawful self-defence or defence of property if it's proportionate and immediate, which in this case seems to be the case. Under Scots law, force is allowed if there’s an imminent threat, that the force is necessary, and it’s not excessive. A brief, measured push to create distance or break contact is usually treated as reasonable, not criminal assault. The Hearts player fell into this category when he initially swatted the phone out of the fan's hand and so too did the fan by pushing the Hearts player away in an attempt to retrieve his property. But as soon as the Hearts player started stamping on the phone that is deemed excessive force. Legally, the fan's breach of the peace [invasion of the pitch and goading] doesn’t give the Hearts player a licence to destroy the fan's property; and the fan's efforts to protect his own property can be deemed lawful, as long as the force used is proportionate and immediate. And yet, given the nature of the pitch invasion and the media coverage of it - the Hearts player could ultimately dodge any charge not because he is not guilty of committing a crime, but because the COPFS apply the 'public interest' test - even if evidence exists, they may conclude that prosecution is not in the public interest because of factors such as: 1. The relatively low value of the phone vs wider consequences (a star player, media circus, club reputation) 2. The player’s status and the likely impact on the sport or club 3. Whether alternative measures (internal club sanctions, fines, apologies, civil settlement) are seen as “sufficient.” Prosecutors are not obliged to prosecute every technically guilty act. As for the fan, as mentioned earlier, his entry onto the pitch is deemed a Breach of the Peace and he would be charged, fined, and issued with a football banning order - with Celtic also potentially banning him for x number of years. Ps/ Much of this was told to me verbatim and I have put it into my own words as much as I can. I am not an expert in Scots Law, I do not profess to be, the above is as told to me by someone in Criminal Law. #celticfc #spflshow more

🥚 Raw Eggs — They are nature's fast food,... and a complete food, with every nutrient you could need. A raw egg digests in only 27 to 37 minutes, which is phenomenal compared to other foods containing protein and fat, like meat and milk. This is because egg is a fully liquid food. The body doesn't need to use any digestive fluids, hydrochloric acid, to break it down, it will absorb within the first 5 inches of the intestine only, from bacterial digestion alone. Of course, if you cook the egg, this doesn't apply anymore. Cooking not only destroys nutrients, especially enzymes and vitamins, which impairs digestion, and generates toxins, like heterocyclic amines from proteins, and cauterizes the minerals, but it coagulates the egg. This not only makes a raw egg the perfect food to get instant energy in a healthful way, but a vital food that can save someone's life. If your digestive system is so compromised you cannot digest other animal protein, like meat, raw eggs will work. Or if you have leaky gut, they digest before they even have to go through the G.I. tract. In general, if you want to give your digestive system a rest, eat raw eggs, you will get back appetite for other foods very soon. In the next post of this thread is a quote of Aajonus' most incredible testimonial on the healing power of raw eggs. They are also the best food to repair. The only thing that Aajonus found that eggs cannot do is help the body reproduce cells quicker. That takes raw meat. So long-term, you cannot replace raw meat with raw eggs, they work complementarily. Don't discard the egg white. Aajonus proved the avidin in raw egg white is not an anti-nutrient. Aajonus ate up to 60 raw eggs a day (one or two dozens on most days) since 1976. He confirmed there was no biotin deficiency whatsoever. The narrow-minded lab experiments do not explain what actually happen and then draw the wrong conclusion. What actually happens is that biotin mixes with avidin to make a compound that cleans the body of biocarbons, which are leftover byproducts from macronutrient digestion that need to be eliminated by the body. This is actually a good thing. Plus, there is an excess of available biotin in raw egg compared to the amount of avidin. It is also recommended by Aajonus to not eat raw egg yolks alone either, as it creates imbalances when on a raw diet (this doesn't apply on a cooked diet). He did the experiments on animals, feeding them raw egg white and raw egg yolk separately, and it made them extremely hungry, they required twice as much food, had huge imbalances emotionally, caused obesity, water retention, all kinds of problems. So, if you go to a restaurant, you can request the egg white to be included in your steak tartare, just like Aajonus did. What about salmonella? Salmonella is already on our skin, in our eyes, our nose, our mouth, recycling dead cells. They are beneficial bacteria, not pathogenic. Of course, this isn't medical advice. Look into Aajonus and more broadly into terrain theory vs germ theory. Don't refrigerate eggs. Only in the USA do people do this. If you wash the egg, you remove the protective membrane around it, then health departments require them to be refrigerated. Just don't wash the eggs. Eggs are a bit of a fragile food, many of its natural bacteria die when in cold temperatures, so it's better to keep them at room temperatures, or they will lose digestibility. You can blend raw eggs, however it will oxidize them, destroying certain nutrients. There are three enzymes in the egg white which prevent certain hormones that help certain diseases progress like cancer. If you as little as whip the raw egg with a work, these enzymes in the egg white oxidize within seconds. Raw eggs are a detoxification food. They are rich in cholesterol. If you drink alcohol, eat plenty of raw eggs (before, during, after), and you will avoid a hangover. The cholesterol in raw eggs is very good at collecting the alcohol and other toxins. They also enable the body to make solvents to break down toxicity like cellulite. Raw eggs can be fermented, and aged in various ways. Century eggs, the real ones (which are around 25 years old), can cost a thousand dollars. They transform in all sorts of shapes, they can look like green boiled eggs, jewelry, eggs that could belong to a dragon, or turn into white, black powder. They can give incredible energy and libido. How to eat: If you eat the raw egg white first, then the yolk right after, the raw egg will digest in 27 minutes, otherwise in 37 minutes. It is easier to do so from the shell by poking a hole on each side and sucking from it. This is "Aajonus-style". From a glass is "Rocky-style". Nowadays also called slonking. Make the egg go through your teeth while you drink it, this makes it easier to mix it with saliva, which allows better digestion. That only works if you eat only one raw egg at a time. If you eat several raw eggs at once, they will digest slower. Not an issue, it is still extremely healthy. Therefore eating raw eggs frequently throughout the day, one at a time, can bring a steady flow of nutrients to your body. Eggs are perfect to eat upon waking up, providing quick energy from fats and providing protein for the body to make glycogen from and feed the nervous system. They are perfect to eat in-between meals. Only take a couple seconds and get you going for hours, and whenever you get tired. Eggs help gain and lose weight. It all depends how you combine them. A raw egg eaten alone can lead to weight loss, except if you eat more than around 22 a day to maintain. Aajonus' weight loss protocol relies on eating a raw egg diet for 1-3 weeks and is very effective. Raw eggs can help remove cellulite, strip down toxic fat (which is fat that was used to store toxins). Eggs eaten with other foods, or several at once, don't have this weight loss effect. They are very good to eat with other foods, such as raw meat (steak tartare). You can easily eat 3 raw eggs with your raw steak. There are many recipes, from raw pastries, to sauces like mayo, milkshakes, ... where you can keep the egg raw and whole.show more

RC-135 Deployments Signal Imminent Attack: Myths and Realities of... Iran's Military Power The RC-135 is a family of large reconnaissance aircraft operated by the ISAF. These jets are designed for ISR missions, providing near real-time data to military commanders and national leaders. The primary variant focuses on detecting, identifying, and geolocating electromagnetic signals, such as communications, radar emissions, and electronic warfare activities. Based on past experience, the early arrival of these aircraft often signals that an attack may be very close. But what about Iran, what capabilities does it actually have? There are many myths surrounding Iran's military power. Here are some key points: 1. Israel did not overfly Iran during the 12-day war This is implausible. Most part of the munitions used included bombs like the GBU-28 and GBU-31, both with ranges under 25 km, which suggests they could only have been dropped from inside Iranian territory. 2. Iranian missiles have poor accuracy In 2025, several Iranian missiles were launched against targets in Erbil, Iraq, with excellent precision. During the 12-day war, Iran struck the Weizmann Institute and the Haifa refinery with high accuracy, as well as some Israeli launchers, all in an environment of heavy jamming. The truth is that Iranian missile accuracy depends on the model. Iran has missiles in its arsenal that are more than 15 years old, but there is no evidence that the precision of its modern anti-ship missiles is deficient. 3. Iranian air defenses are of very poor quality This cannot be stated with absolute certainty because they were never fully tested. Israel's ground sabotage operations were highly effective, successfully disabling radars and most short-range air defense systems. Iran does not keep its long- and medium-range air defenses permanently deployed, and consequently none of them were destroyed during the 12 days of war. 4. Iran has no radars capable of detecting stealth aircraft In 2024, Iranian radars locked onto Israeli F-35s while they were still over Iraqi territory. In 2025, Iranian-supplied radars integrated into missile batteries in Yemen also locked onto and fired at U.S. F-35s on multiple occasions, nearly downing one. 5. The high technology of U.S. ships and aircraft will paralyze Iranian weapons This would only happen if the Iranians turned their systems off, as reportedly occurred in the Venezuela case. So far, Iranian equipment has proven extremely resistant to interference. Shahed drones continue to operate accurately, and after years of Western efforts, they have not been successfully jammed. This will pose a major challenge for the Americans. 6. The U.S. Carrier Strike Group will easily crush the Iranian navy They would destroy Iran's large ships in minutes, but they would face enormous difficulty against mini-submarines, USVs, UAVs, UUVs, and fast attack craft equipped with missiles. In additional, the U.S. drones would not have complete freedom for target acquisition and would have to rely on LEO/ISR sats. Iran possesses drones like the Karrar, a jet-powered interceptor equipped with air-to-air missiles that can operate at 15,000 meters to deny U.S. drones freedom of action. The Israelis lost an unknown number of drones during the 12-day war, though losses were reported. Summary Does Iran have any advantage? At sea, against the current Carrier Strike Group and considering all of Iran's resources, I would say Iran holds an advantage, evidenced by factors such as missile range, number of containers, tubes, VLS cells, drones, mines, submarines, anti-ship missiles, and other assets. However, once the focus shifts from the sea to the air, the American advantage is overwhelming, both in satellite intelligence and in combat aviation. And this is the type of war the Americans know best.show more

First of all, before anything else congratulations to our... stars 🥰 What happened at Paris Fashion Week FW26 is HUGE, and there is nothing more to say except that we are incredibly proud. According to the SOV analysis from Onclusive, Lingling Kwong ranked #1 with 31.8% Share of Voice, and Orm Kornnaphat ranked #2 with 24.6% among 234 global celebrities tracked. "This means the two most talked-about personalities of the entire fashion week were both Thai actresses attending the Dior show" Even more importantly, the data shows something bigger: Their combined presence generated more than 56% of the celebrity conversation around Christian Dior. It is important to clarify something here: This result is based on SOV (Share of Voice) calculated by Onclusive. SOV is different from MIV and EMV, and it is also different from the SOV metrics used inside some MIV based reports. - SOV measures conversation dominance how much people talk about someone. - MIV/EMV measure the media value of exposure. So the methodology is not the same. And here We Go : 1) About the map shown in the article Under the visualization, the article clearly states: “The map of social media influence around the Dior brand: fan groups rallying around ambassadors, faces and attendees such as Lingling Kwong, Orm Kornnaphat, Jisoo (Blackpink), Anya Taylor-Joy, and Hyunjin (Stray Kids).” What does that mean? The map shows how fan communities and media conversations connected around Dior during Paris Fashion Week. Some accounts appear closer to Lingling Kwong or Orm Kornnaphat? yes and No ... The map is not centered on Lingling or Orm. It is centered on Dior. (Of course Dior isn’t connected to Lingling alone. You can clearly see that the Dior account is positioned around Lingling icon it's mean under Lingling kwong posts or under Dior Post fans position dior a more than under Orm posts and position lingling and dior more ) As for Tagtrend and LingormBh AND lingling Th or orm cn or orm th here they are not mean are around Lingling kwong or orm kornnaphat here they are around diorr !!!! Another proof , Under OrmKornnaphatCN, you can see something like: Influence degree: 456 This means that this account had 456 connection links in the conversation network around Dior during Paris Fashion Week FW26. These links can come from: people reposting its posts people mentioning that account the account mentioning others reply conversations posts being quoted or shared So the system detected 456 interaction connections linked to that account within the conversation network used in the analysis. This does not mean these interactions are about Orm alone. They are connections inside the discussion network related to Dior during Paris Fashion Week where Orm Kornnaphat appears in the conversation. It also does not mean that Orm CN or any other official fan page did not work hard. The map here is simply showing how conversations connect around Dior, not measuring how much each fanbase supports their star. The visualization is not centered on Lingling or Orm individually. It is centered on Dior, showing how different fan communities and media conversations interacted around the brand during Paris Fashion Week FW26. You can clearly see that even smaller accounts with relatively few followers appear in the map. Why? Because they replied, quoted, reposted, or participated in conversations related to Dior, which creates connections inside the network. OR even ch3 they only post one image saying congratulation for dior and lingorm The visualization simply shows how different communities amplified the Dior discussion through the celebrities attending the show 2) Now About hashtags and SOV The article clearly states: “Hashtags represent only a portion of the data used in calculating SOV.” It also explains that the top-25 hashtag chart shown in the article is only an extract from 281 hashtags analyzed during Paris Fashion Week. So hashtags are not the main calculation method for SOV. SOV is based on mentions across the entire media ecosystem. For example, imagine the system tracked 10,000 total celebrity mentions during Paris Fashion Week FW26. If Lingling Kwong was mentioned 3,180 times: 3180 ÷ 10000 × 100 = 31.8% SOV If Orm Kornnaphat was mentioned 2,460 times: 2460 ÷ 10000 × 100 = 24.6% SOV Mentions counted in SOV include: Social media posts X (Twitter) with full Firehose access ( Very Important) Instagram TikTok YouTube Reddit Weibo WeChat Naver Online forums and magazines blog posts captions and text mentions (not only hashtags) For example, all of these count as mentions: Post 1 #LinglingKwong at Dior FW26 Post 2 Orm kornnaphat at the Dior show today (no hashtag) Post 3 ( mentions) @ lingling kwong and @ ormkornnaphat looked stunning at Dior All three contribute to the conversation around Christian Dior at Paris Fashion Week. This is why the article states clearly that hashtags represent only part of the data used in calculating SOV. so if you use #diorxCelebrity or #celebrity is ranking under one SOV for this celebrity but in this article they are talking about brand x celebrity # and how much is important now to include celebrity name to make the brand more stronger ( this is the main idea ) The most important point Instead of worrying about differences between charts, we should step back and look at the bigger picture. Two Thai actresses attended one show at Paris Fashion Week and they became the two most talked-about celebrities of the entire event. That is extraordinary. And it proves something very clearly: The global fashion conversation now recognizes the power of Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat, and the incredible strength of their fan communities. 3) Now the focus moves to MIV We still have a few days, and now that these results are public, more media outlets and magazines will continue to write about them. So our focus now should be MIV, which measures the media impact value of posts and coverage. For MIV: Engagement under posts matters Likes and Comments are important interactions under magazine posts are important conversations across platforms contribute to impact. On X, hashtags help grouping and tracking. On Instagram and TikTok, keywords and names inside captions and comments are also very important. On weibo keyword are the most important So let’s work smart and strategically. Because this is only the beginning of proving to the world the power of our stars: Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat. ✨ LINGORM BA DIOR AT PFW26 #LingOrmDiorAW26 #หลิงออม #LingOrm #หลิงหลิงคอง #LinglingKwong #ออมกรณ์นภัส #OrmKornnaphat #DiorAW26 #DIORshow more

Facial reconstruction of a 7,000-year-old woman from Skateholm Skateholm... is a site in southern Sweden, 20 km from Trelleborg, where the remains of Mesolithic hunter-gatherer dwellings have been found. These people fished, hunted wild boar and deer, and were already familiar with pottery. About 7,000 years ago, the settlement area consisted of islands in a shallow lagoon. Several centuries later, the water level rose to such an extent that the inhabitants were forced to relocate elsewhere. During excavations carried out between 1980 and 1985, archaeologists investigated three settlements as well as two adjacent cemeteries - Skateholm I (65 graves) and Skateholm II (22 graves). In addition to human burials, dog graves were also discovered. Dogs, like humans, were buried with grave goods such as flint tools and ornaments. The burials were made at a shallow depth (20-40 cm), usually without coffins, although some interments were in boats or hollowed-out logs. Both human and canine graves were covered with ochre. Some human skeletons bear traces of violence. Many of the graves are highly unusual, and it is believed that the burial process involved complex rituals; some researchers suggest that the deaths were planned, as a form of sacrifice. Other scholars argue that Skateholm served as a burial place for shamans, people who died in accidents, infants who died at birth, and other “dangerous” individuals. In one double burial, an elderly man and a young woman aged about 17–19 were placed closely together. It is believed they were buried at the same time. The woman’s skull shows damage to the left temple, possibly from a blow. Their relationship is uncertain, perhaps father and daughter, or husband and wife. In another case, a woman around 35 years old was buried in a seated position with a newborn child on her lap. Beads made from wild boar and elk teeth were placed with the burial. Elsewhere, a man approximately 60 years old and 4 year old child were found embracing each other, facing one another. The child had ornaments on the chest made of bear teeth and pieces of amber. One individual was buried lying face down, with arms and legs extended. It is thought that he may have been bound or wrapped. Several arrows had been shot into his back and legs, suggesting that those who buried him wanted to ensure he would not rise again. Another burial contained a dismembered man. A healed injury was visible on his femur, possibly caused by a wild boar attack, which would have left him limping. An arrowhead was lodged in the pelvic bone and was likely the cause of death. The right arm and left leg were missing. Since some bones were still in anatomical position, the dismemberment likely occurred while soft tissues were still intact. In a different burial, a woman was interred in a seated position with her legs extended. A dog was buried beside her, with its front paws resting on the woman’s legs.show more
