GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

This is what happens when 'treasure' can't be bought by a museum - the hoard has been broken up into individual auction lots & will disappear into many different hands, some overseas.

When do we start saying enough is enough??

This is a great idea. I am only 4 years out from my phd, working in commercial archaeology, but still trying to work on my specialist area and publish. Difficult on many levels, especially lack of access to resources (like literature).

People from all walks of life โ€” including many British Jews โ€” are protesting against your governmentโ€™s complicity in genocide and standing in solidarity with Palestine.

Conflating Israelโ€™s genocide in Gaza with British Jews is deeply inappropriate and dangerous. Shame on you.

Subway style map to go with The Lord of the Rings, showing the different pathways of various parties throughout the book. The title reads: "Lord of the Rings Transit Map: One Does Not Simply Walk Ino Mordor When One Can Ride." The map takes up the middle part of the page, and there are two keys. The one on the left is titles "Standard Service Lines, and has color keys matched to the subway lines on the map. Lines are named:

A smaller key on the right side of the map is labeled: "Limited Service Lines" and has color keys matched to the following names lines:

The other day I drew a subway-style map for The Hobbit, and it was very well received. Some of you asked if I could do one for LoTR, so I have!

Forgive the eel watermark; I'm working on making these something you can buy, if you like.

Most people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain would support UK rejoining EU, poll finds YouGov survey suggests majority support idea of Britain returning to bloc โ€“ but not on same terms it once enjoyed A decade after MPs voted to hold the referendum that led to Britain leaving the European Union, a poll has found majorities in the blocโ€™s four largest member states would support the UK rejoining โ€“ but not on the same terms it had before. The YouGov survey of six western European countries, including the UK, also confirms that a clear majority of British voters now back the country rejoining the bloc โ€“ but only if it can keep the opt-outs it previously enjoyed.

Leeds United are now close to a deal with Lille for left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson. Understand he could arrive in England tomorrow as talks continue. Leeds saying nothing on it right now.

The world club cup making top premier league clubs richer, who also make a mockery of the PSR rules. Making the premier league brand weaker as top clubs get richer and monopolise the best players.

Another one for the team of giants. #lufc

Channel 4 to air BBC-commissioned documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack BBC last week announced it had dropped the film over concerns it may create a โ€˜perception of partialityโ€™

The BBC is destroying itself over this issue. Today it was censoring Glastonbury shows; earlier this week it refused to screen a doco it commissioned, because the film showed โ€ฆ doctors talking about what they experienced in Gaza.
Obviously BBC mgrs havenโ€™t heard of the Streisand effect either.

Anything and everything Trump does is to benefit one person, Trump. America needs to wake up. Democracy or its form of it (thatโ€™s a conversation for another day) is being systematically dismantled as we speak, breaking the constitution, which the republicans are supposedly all about.

The fall of a republic "As a regular visitor to the US over the last thirty years and just back from the States I am getting a definite feeling that something is brewing"

"Historians will be working around the clock trying to understand how the Republican Party, in a few short years, got to the point where their loyalty is to one person and not the constitution."
