@SCS_PI

Recently, @simularity, a US-based geospatial #artificialintelligence company, published a report alleging fishermen's shits destroyed the #SouthChinaSea, based on chlorophyll a analysis.
Does its allegation hold the water? In fact, chlorophyll a is everywhere at sea.

To understand how chlorophyll a usually looks like in the sea, we start with @sentinel 2a satellite images.
Chlorophyll a can be seen everywhere on the sea surface, and chlorophyll a will accumulate around certain long-term suspended floating objects.

This phenomenon not only exists in the #SouthChinaSea, but can be seen everywhere in the world. As it's shown in the marine chlorophyll a distribution via Japan's Himawari satellite, the phenomenon also exists in the Philippine Sea and around the waters of the Philippines.

Back in 2017, @ChinaMaritime Studies Institute Director @peter_dutton approved my proposal for a #China #Maritime #Report series & invited @KennedyMaritime & me to contribute the inaugural report.

11 editions later, this series is better than ever!

@zacharyhaver's work = proof.

#China established #SanshaCity in 2012 to administer most of its #territorial & #maritime claims in the #SouthChinaSea.

@zacharyhaver probes nearly a decade's developments there with insights & detail that will amaze & fascinate many.

Thread: The Shameful Closure of North America’s Busiest Safe Consumption Site by @Filtermag_org written by @heyysham & Taylor Fleming / September 24, 2020

We 🇨🇦 may like to think of ourselves as more progressive than our southern neighbours when it comes to drug policy. Truth is, we’re only ever 1 election away fr. regression & fear-mongering based on stigma, racism & a refusal 2 acknowledge the evidence behind harm reduction 2/25

Although Health 🇨🇦 has reiterated current federal support for safe consumption sites (SCS) & endorsed programs providing a safe supply of drugs, each province & territory is ultimately in control of its own healthcare. This🍃harm reduction services in a precarious position. 3/25

@DrSarahAxelrath

August 31 is International #Overdose Awareness Day. Every year I reflect on all the people we’ve lost, but especially Arielle. Here we are at 18 - careless, happy assholes. She was brilliant, snarky, a talented musician, and she died at age 26 from a poisoned drug supply.

In the last 2 years of her life, Arielle went to jail, went to rehab, and “got clean.”

Jail didn’t save her.
Rehab didn’t save her.
Abstinence didn’t save her.

#SCS could’ve saved her. #safesupply could’ve saved her.
#MOUD could’ve saved her.
#Naloxone could’ve saved her.

There is no excuse for her death or for any of the 71,000 overdose deaths in 2019, not when evidence-based treatments for #OUD exist. Not one damn more person should die alone from a treatable condition in the year #2020.

From tinyurl.com/y4vfafgl @lethnewsnow

The evidence she is referring to is ethical and peer-reviewed. ❤️

At a time when Canadians are talking about safe supply, decriminalization and regulation #abpoli is in the dark ages thinking that residential addictions treatment

is the only treatment available. There are tons of types of addictions treatments. We need them all, because one type of treatment modality doesn't work for everyone.

The Breakdown

@TheBreakdownAB

“If you think the harm reduction obsession is really successful when it comes to preserving human lives, than I invite you to take a stroll down East Hastings on the downtown east side of Vancouver."

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

/1 cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

It’s fascinating that @jkenney chooses to use East Hastings as an example of failed programs.

It is.

But not for the reasons that Kenney makes it seem.

East Hastings was used as a human dumping ground when BC made brutal cuts to healthcare and mental health.

#abpoli

Were it not for the #scs in East Hastings, the loss of life of people who were abandoned would have been even more catastrophic than it has been.

#SCS save lives.

@jkenney’s continued failure to acknowledge that betrays his complete lack of understanding of addiction.

America-China Watcher

@PandemicTruther

A few comments：
1/ US position of 4 yrs ago was neutral. Since then, China's been peacefully negotiating with concerned countries and agreements are about to be reached. The #USA stirring of old embers of dispute is certainly a disservice to peace and stability of the #Southsea

https://twitter.com/USA_China_Talk/status/1284055252963069952

2/ USA is not a signing party to the UNCLOS (UN Convention on the Law of the Sea). It's now coercing China to be bound by UNCLOS, a treaty it doesn't recognize itself.

3/ Arbitration predicates on both parties agreeing to solve the dispute by the private tribunal paid by both parties. The arbitration was unilaterally demanded and paid by the Philippines under the military threat of the US marine. It has no legal validity.

#SCS
Os traigo un negocio aburrido que normalmente no compraría para el largo plazo, pero que se ha puesto a un precio que merece la pena considerarlo para sacarse una rentabilidad razonable en el medio plazo.

Capitalización: 56M
Beneficio anual normalizado: 10M
Balance saneado

#SCS

Venden sofás en el Reino Unido desde sus 100 tiendas y 9 centros de distribución.

El negocio que no se ha visto muy afectado por las ventas digitales, porque la gente prefiere probar un sofá antes de comprarlo... somos así de caprichosos...😂

Ventas estables, Bº al alza

#SCS

Y miren donde se ha venido el precio con el miedo por el cierre de las tiendas durante dos meses por el COVID. Ya están abiertas...

En otras ocasiones hubo rebote importante en esos niveles.

He comprado acciones para mi cartera.

2. vi voglio aiutare a capire. Chi ha in mano sicuramente le intercettazioni dei rapporti tra lo Stato italiano e la mafia? La #NSA: "E' la più grande, la più costosa e la più tecnologicamente sofisticata organizzazione di spionaggio che il mondo abbia mai conosciuto"

3. la #NSA, grande 3 volte la #CIA, ha lo #SpecialCollectionService (SCS). Noi sappiamo alcune informazioni fattuali sull'SCS solo grazie ai file di #Snowden. Cosa dicono? Che l'SCS ha come missione di raccogliere intelligence sulla leadership di un Paese.
