So.. that's the final bit of our transmission for now. Find a statement in this thread from our volunteers.

The Volunteer Presenters at Wrexham's CalonFM are planning for a new future after Calon Communications Limited has taken the decision to close from 20th January.

A statement issued by the volunteers, who run and present the award-winning station, said they are in negotiation with a number of interested parties and hoped to make an announcement soon on the station's new direction.

The statement said:
"We are disappointed that the board in charge of Calon Communications Ltd in conjunction with the station’s landlord Glyndwr University took the decision to close the station down with very little notice.

"In the four weeks since the bombshell announcement, we have come together as the remaining Stakeholders to discuss and formulate an alternative plan that will ensure the OFCOM licence is preserved here in Wrexham (continued)

First Minister @NicolaSturgeon: "I will give a short update on today's figures. 1,656 positive cases were reported yesterday, which is 7.5% of all tests carried out. The total number of cases therefore is now 166,583."

NS: "As of yesterday, 309,909 people had received their first dose of vaccine. There are currently 2,003 people in hospital, which is 14 more than yesterday, and 156 people in intensive care, which is 6 more than yesterday."

NS: "I very much regret to report that, in the past 24 hours, a further 92 deaths were registered of patients who first tested positive over the previous 28 days and the total number of people who have died under that daily measurement is 5,468."

NS: "National Records of Scotland has also just published its weekly update. That, of course, includes cases where Covid is a suspected or contributory cause of death, even if it hasn't been confirmed through a test."

NS: "Today's update shows that, by last Sunday, the total number of registered deaths linked to Covid under the wider definition was 7,448. 368 of those deaths were registered in the most recent week, which is 23 fewer than in the week before that."

Did the paedophiles create the virus?

I think so!

Is Joe Biden the paedophiles choice?

Jury’s out.

Scumbags

Lock them all up and f their vaccine.

The Great American Forgetting Project starts today. They're going to simultaneously try to tell us the last four years were an aberration that is over, and that it never happened.

And it's natural to want to forget these awful years.

It's our moral duty not to.

Those who benefit from our country's malicious priorities will do everything they can now to get us to forget how incontrovertibly Trump exposed those priorities.

Many of us thought we were something better than we were, but now we know.

We've seen our nation's face.

And many among us knew the truth all along. Many of us always saw our nation unmasked, because they were the ones who suffered it.

They told us all along, and the rest of us didn't listen.

Now that they've been proven correct, we're going to be asked to not listen again.

We can't deny anymore, that there are people among us, everywhere, for whom no lie is so obvious they won't believe it, as long as they think it serves their ends.

They don't care about truth, and never did.

We should care about truth, and speak it plain.

This is us.

We've seen our national tolerance for open racism, for cruelty, for corruption, for false equivocation.

Not just the tolerance, but the enthusiasm.

Trump didn't create it. It was there. He exploited it.

We'll never become what we want to be if we don't admit what we are.

1/ THREAD: Long ImmunoPrecise Antibodies (IPA- Nasdaq)
$IPA is my largest holding since mid-2020, I haven't sold a share

This thread is just the peak of the iceberg as IPA has made such progress that highlighting all on a thread isn't possible, apologize for lots of omissions

2/ IPA is composed of 2 businesses:

The CRO (Contract Research Organization) and Talem Therapeutics.

Both the CRO and Talem are on fire. The CRO is growing at +50% with GM of 60% and Talem (drug discovery company) has several programs with some about to start Phase 1.

3/ Current Market CAP 315MCAD /250M USD
SO: ~16M
Rev run rate ~20M CAD- Growth 50%
Cash: 16M CAD

4/ Let’s start with the CRO. In the antibodies space, IPA is the ONLY CRO that offers a complete end-to-end service from concept to clinical trials

5/CRO's revenues are growing at 50%, with 60% gross margins (the CRO industry has ~12%margins), IPA has more than 70% of the top 20 pharma as clients, more than 500 total clients, EBITDA positive, $16m in cash and run rate revenues of ~ $20M for this fiscal year

Here are some observations from the EU side on the touring issue facing musicians

2/ The European Commission offered the UK a standard mobility clause in its draft legal text back in March last year that would cover musicians, sportspersons etc... It's on page 354 of the EU's opening text ahead of the negotiations

3/ Under a standard mobility clause, acc to one official, EU member states can ask for visas for certain people coming to carry out paid activity. However, there's a list of exemptions for people who don't need visas:

4/ This list includes those "travelling for the purpose of business deliberations..., sportspersons or artists [including musicians] performing an activity on an ad-hoc basis, journalists sent by the media of their country of residence, and intra-corporate trainees."

5/ In other words, under a standard mobility provision, musicians, journalists, sports people and business people who travel to discuss contracts etc do not need visas. Officials say this is the standard EU arrangement for third countries, eg the US.

Donald Trump is leaving the White House within the hour. Re-reading his inaugural speech from four years ago, it’s clear the two words he wanted to define his presidency were “America first.” But the two words that ultimately did were “American carnage.” /1

Even the opening lines are a reminder of what his presidency cost us: “Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power.” That tradition ended on Jan. 6. /2

(He also thanks President and First Lady Obama “for their gracious aid throughout this transition,” which suggests he can recognize grace, but not actually offer it.) /3

The speech was packed with familiar promises about rebuilding the military, bringing back jobs, boosting the economy, building the wall. Trump loved talking about infrastructure even then, though “Infrastructure Week” ended up as a punchline, not a program. /4

The promises were almost all broken. The unemployment rate is 2 points higher than when he took office, the stock market is up but the economy is weak, international alliances are frayed and America’s reputation is in tatters. /5

As a real estate entrepreneur you need a certain mindset to win.

From sourcing deals to dealing with bankers to deploying capital...

There are certain attributes that make you BETTER at creating long term wealth.

A thread 👇👇👇

RE is all about generating what we call YIELD.

Yield is the return on our precious capital.

And it comes in two forms:

Cashflow - the cold hard cash it puts in your pocket.

&

Appreciation - the additional VALUE to a buyer or a banker above and beyond what you paid.

And before we start. A note on YIELD.

It's getting harder and harder to find.

Capital is plentiful and yield is scarce.

Folks are chasing deals with less and less of it and they are taking more risk to get the same amount of it.

The amount of yield you get from a real estate deal is all relative to the amount of risk you take.

A risky deal deserves more upside and thus more yield.

A safe deal deserves less upside and thus less yield.

The winners think about one thing only:

Risk-adjusted yield

Successful real estate folks have a long term mindset.

The folks who win in real estate don't buy-in to the "life is short" mantra.

They know that life is long. And they are fine to do work now and get paid later.

TIME is what makes these folks wealthy.

They get paid to WAIT.

The Day After

Here's the link to soon-to-be former President Trump's Farewell Speech. It's not easy watching, I can tell you that. But we boldly do what we must,

Ray Kroc died in 1984. That year, McDonald's made $9.5 billion in revenue.

Personal net worth? $600 million, about $1.5 billion today.

Kroc grew McDonald's into a brand everyone in the world recognizes, and he started with just one question...

Time for a thread! 👇👇👇

In 1954, Ray was a milkshake salesman. Business wasn't exactly booming.

One day, he called his secretary from the road. To his surprise, someone had ordered six five-milkshake mixers.

Who needed to mix 30 milkshakes at a time?

Ray thought: "What if that's wrong?"

He called the restaurant. The owner was terse.

"What? Six mixers? Yes, that's us. Actually, make it eight! Gotta go!"

Now, Ray was even more confused.

Once again, he thought: "What if that's wrong?"

He decided to drive to the place himself. After a 26-hour drive, he got to San Bernardino.

What he saw was a long queue and people standing around in the parking lot, munching on their burgers.

When he got the front window, Ray ordered a burger, a Coke, and fries.

The cashier returned the food right with his change.

Ray said: "No no, that's wrong! I just ordered!"

And the cashier said: "Yeah, and now, you're food is here."

Historical Gurdwaras of Hazor Sahib

1. Gurdwara Nagina Ghat ⠀
A rich merchant’s expensive nagina (precious stone set in gold) was thrown by Guru Gobind Singh Ji into Godavri River. The merchant thought Guru Ji did not know the value of the nagina. Mahraj read his thought and

asked him to take out the nagina if it was so valuable. It is said that when he entered the river he was surprised to see the river bed full of precious stones. Purged of his false pride, he fell at Guru Ji’s feet. It was also from this place that Mahraj shot an arrow revealing

their Tap Asthan (meditation place) of Satyug, Sachkand Shri Hazor Sahib.⠀

2. Takht Sri Sachkand Abchalnagar Hazor Sahib. One of the 5 Takhts of Sikhs. Despite being the site where Kalgidhar Patshah Ji left their physical body from, their presence is felt strongly here.

3. Bunga Mai Bhago Ji
In compound of Takht Sri Hazor Sahib Ji, this Bunga is built in memory of Mai Bhago Ji. Housing weapons believed to be of Mai Bhago Ji and 40 Mukte. The two Angitha Sahib of Pyare Bhai Daya Singh ji and Pyare Bhai Dharam Singh Ji are also situated here.

4. Gurdwara Hira Ghat⠀
When Guru Gobind Singh Ji first came to Nanded from Punjab, they pitched their tents right here on the back of Godavri River. It was also here where it’s believed that emperor Bahadur Shah presented Guruji a hira (diamond) which they flung into the

... continue part two

A friend posted a photo of Woodstock from overhead as a demonstration of what 400,000 people look like. Its a huge number...hard to visualize.

I've been using citites.

For my friends back home, the day after my birthday (November 18) was the day a St Clair County's worth of people were dead. Imagine Belleville, O'Fallon, Fairview, and all the little farmtowns inbetween, empty.

Not even a month later (Dec 14th), you could have upgraded to the population center across the river; imagine the entire city of St. Louis, empty.

But, I've lived other places, and I know people from all over, many of whom have traveled quite a bit.

So, as we hit 400,000 Americans dead, lets put this in perspective.

Yesterday, it was the city of Arlington, 49th largest city in the US.

By the end of today, it will be Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Tomorrow, it will be Tampa, Florida, instead.

By next week probably (at this rate), Oakland, then Minneapolis a few days later.

About two weeks from now Virgina Beach, followed by Colorado Springs, Long Beach, and Miami...theres a few more cities between Miami and the next milestone (500,000), but...

Today is Inauguration Day. It will be a milestone day for QAnon supporters. We may see splintering as Biden takes office between those realizing QAnon isn't real & those doubling down & moving the goalposts. Here's a poll from a QAnon Telegram channel today suggesting a divide.

Trump has left the White House.

God what a lovely sentence to type. I might do it again.

Trump has left the White House.

Lovely. I didn't know fingers on keys could feel that good.

Is there a more beautiful sentence? I suspect not.

@OliviaMesser It will be a raging pandemic for at least six more months. I would explain why, but I’m not giving away free info any more. National politicians know who I am & continue to steal my arguments. Moreover, Twitter censors me bc I want expose corrupt Republicans. Til I have a (1)

the Republicans in the next few weeks w/o me to prop them up. You steal & don’t give back. Then, that’s what will happen. Nothing is free in this world. The Democrats have things they need to learn about how to deal w/ the Republicans. Moreover, Twitter let Trump & Co. spread (4)

false, dangerous, blatantly-evil lies that divided the country the last 4 years. Now, I want to hit these Republicans back after 4 years & all of the sudden Twitter is worried about furthering to divide the country. Well, you should of thought about that 4 years ago. Now it’s (5)

The corruption and cronyism, the toxic rhetoric from the presidential bully pulpit, the dysfunctional and brutal public policies/4
