1. The mysterious case of Eddie Holmes and the SARS-COV-2 genome sequence publication delay

https://t.co/ahWcudTbxd

Seems that Eddie was playing the "innocent card"

@TheSeeker268 @franciscodeasis @ydeigin @AntGDuarte @edwardcholmes @K_G_Andersen

 2. Was the motive of https://t.co/nu7hNVhiwP’s rush release due to competition to get the first releaser credit for the sars-cov-2 genome?
3. @GISAID claims 'the access credentials of some of the persons listed as authors of Wuhan-hu-1 were among the access credentials used on January 10, 2020 to access the first genomes available on GISAID'
4. @GISAID formally wrote to the authors who acknowledged Virological,org’s post as the world's first release of the SARS-COV-2 genome, and penalised the authors of MN908947
5. but @GISAID didn't identify who exactly from Fudan University or University of Sydney ACCESSED and KNEW about IVDC's 'initial' submission of IVDC-01/05 on GISAID on 10th Jan, 2020, via login records of their GISAID account credentials.
6. A complex topic and timeline explained here:
https://t.co/i6Z3Fnmb2Y
7. and here:
GISAID Submission date
https://t.co/UuflyHSpxZ
8. Professor Yong-Zhen Zhang's Genbank submission
This thread is #Genbank records regarding #MN908947. Evidence only, any further analysis upon this record subjects to individuals' own discretion.
https://t.co/rJtxBrgyw2
9. In the presentation, was Edward Holmes referring to the 3rd January gag order?
Similar to the one communicated to WIV by China CDC via a phone call on january 1st? and China NHC?
10. Professor Holmes mentioned the gag order to paint Professor Zhang Yongzhen as a rebellious hero.
"But China CDC was in fact the force pushing that gag order, to intimidate hospitals, universities & Labs"
https://t.co/gADnGw5LW7
11. ICDC vs IVDC
"For outsiders, yes, but inside the Chinese CDC, the gag order was a protection for their dominance, the only conflict here was the twisted power play between ICDC and IVDC"
12. Edward Holmes refers to the “key member”
Did he mean Xu Jianguo?
Xu Jianguo was Professor Yong-zhen Zhang's direct boss at ICDC, China, and the leader of the joint task force for pathogen identification in Wuhan.
13. Xu Jianguo organised the blind test kit trial which led to authorisation of the three basically useless early test kits, which gave false negatives and contributed to the death of many Wuhan citizens.

14. Unmasking a hero

https://t.co/aZ5pMlFjef
15. Guess what? Money over dead bodies!

https://t.co/XeDJqg7V9S
16. The Genome Publication Delay
The Chinese government finally made its genomes public on Jan. 12, a day after another team published one without authorization. That opened the door for more companies to make their own test kits.
https://t.co/jI5zeVhKhi
17. Releasing the Genome
1. Yong-Zhen Zhang's team submitted the genome to Genbank on 05/01/2020, setting an embargo date for July 2020
2. They had no intention to release it immediately as the purpose was to get an accession number for Nature submission!
https://t.co/x6FlQhrw5r
18. Our "hero" and Eddie's friend, Professor Yong-Zhen Zhang released the genome only AFTER he finished negotiating a secret validation which secured exclusive rights for three Shanghai testing kit companies.
https://t.co/7XccNPnNc2
19. Coincidences and Corruption
It turns out that all the CCDC affiliated researchers listed as authors on the first SARS-COV-2 genomes submitted to @GISAID on the 12th January, had interests in companies able to profit from the pandemic.
https://t.co/IosQkC3Luy
20. Some useful documents about the SARS-COV-2 genome initial release dates to review
21. Negotiations?
Both the https://t.co/nu7hNVhiwP release and the GISAID release were preceded by negotiations.
1. In the https://t.co/B7Ei77AvSR release, Eddie Holmes negotiated with Professor Zhang Yongzhen
2. In the GISAID case, GISAID negotiated with China CDC.
22. This is not the plausible methodology for emerging outbreaks as this pandemic proved to us time is of the essence during the early response.
Negotiations allow backdoor agendas and quid-pro-quo and covering of tracks, right, Eddie?
23. Did @edwardcholmes the "virus spotter" not spot this when he worked so closely with these CCDC researchers?
His excuse: China Politics?
You're twistin' my melon man!
https://t.co/MM1sVbybc8
24. In other news...
GISAID later went on a narrative manipulation campaign using its strong position to help IVDC to 'reclaim' the first 'public release' trophy.
So they forward logged the GISAID actual public release time!
25. As for the talk about possible funding loss for poor "rectified" Professor Zhang, how much more funding can this 'first release' generate in the future?
He had a top PR company help his image in 2020, so we no need to worry too much about his funding..
https://t.co/2BYQmzSkvC
26. Eddie and Zhang go back a long long way

Eddie needs to reveal what he knows about certain aspects of all this, or we will do it for him.
27. Seven years of collaboration

Keep dwelling on this:
Further Examination of the Motif near PRRA Reveals Close Structural Similarity to the SEB Superantigen as well as Sequence Similarities to Neurotoxins and a Viral SAg.

The insertion PRRA together with 7 sequentially preceding residues & succeeding R685 (conserved in β-CoVs) form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains

(20) (Fig. 2D). We further noticed that the same segment bears close similarity to the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp120 SAg motif F164 to V174.

WEAPONS OF MAHADEV

Sarvaripati Shiva is one of the most fearsome manifestations of Mahadev. Assigned with destroying all of the universes at the end of time, Shiva is one of the most fearsome warriors. He is the Mrityunjaya.
Here are some weapons associated with him:


TRISHULA: the 3 pointed blades denote creation, maintenance, and destruction or the 3 Kalas – Past, Present and Future. They also represent 3 Gunas – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas).
Shiva’s trishul can only be stopped by Shiva himself.
@onlyonenetra @DetheEsha


Trishul is also said to represent Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. These are the three basic nadis – the left, the right and the central – in the pranamaya kosha, or the energy body of the human system.
@iamkamyabuch @unever_followme


PARASHU: axe with 4 cutting edges which Shiva gave to Parashurama. In his anger, Parashurama used the parashu to get rid of the all the Earth’s tyrannical kshatriya caste twenty-one times over.
@harshasherni


CHANDRAHASA SWORD: The divine sword Chandrahasa literally means ‘the laughter of the moon’. Ravana gave this sword to Indrajit on different occasions especially to fight against Devas.
GIRISH: A special sword of Shiva with unique characteristics.

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.


Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.


But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...

Story of Thumba Poo and Shiva

Thumba poo is a tiny white flower which grows in all areas. These flowers are used for treatment for sinus. Small children who have polyps in Nose are told to crush tumbha leaves and apply in nose part.
There is an interesting story of Thumba and


Mahadeva. Thumba flowers were not taken for Shiva Pooja. Saddened to this Thumba prayed sincerely and Mahadeva appeared before her.
She was surprised that Shiva had appeared before her. Instead of saying that she wants to under his feet always, she said
@SriramKannan77


She said that her feet should be on his head. Shiva accepted her prayers. It is because of this Thumba flower is placed in the head of Shiva Linga.

1/OK, I should really write another thread about university-centric regional development, because I think people often make some (very understandable) mistakes when thinking about this issue.

2/The biggest myth, I think, is that universities help regions by educating locals as undergraduates.

Skeptics of universities say: "But most of the people who graduate end up leaving."

3/In fact, most of what a university does for a regional economy is NOT about educating local kids.

Educating local kids is good for the nation, but doesn't help a region much.

The way a university helps a region is through

4/Undergraduates usually leave town after graduation.

But university RESEARCH pulls in OTHER smart people from other regions, and they stay there.

Here's a paper showing that this is the main way universities increase a region's human capital:

5/Research also pulls in business investment.

Companies want to partner with university labs, so they can commercialize the technologies the labs produce. So they invest in the labs, and sometimes they even put their offices in the town.

🌺कैसे बने गरुड़ भगवान विष्णु के वाहन और क्यों दो भागों में फटी होती है नागों की जिह्वा🌺

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।
