New thread on #AllisonPearson! Continuing from the old thread linked

 2/n Just an idle note on the irony: now that Brexit has happened, UK citizens may not be able to charge the NHS for costs of a knee-operation in Poland. Them's the breaks.

https://t.co/lV9IcwvULg
3/ This December tweet from @allisonpearson seems like a direct lie. Judge for yourself, compare with reports from *real* journalists:
https://t.co/nyRvAMLJqK
and https://t.co/itKAVUQ96w
and https://t.co/1kKkiPWciz
__
https://t.co/EQkqaUTX91
4/n Direct lie, or just plain total uninformed imecility from @allisonpearson? You be the judge. Remember, as shown in the first thread, she expressly claimed not to post against lockdowns.
https://t.co/c4P9OXDyIG
5/n Let's look at *facts* that @allisonpearson can't be bothered with when she makes her claims. Facts gathered by *genuine* journalists. Reminder: more people now in UK hospitals with #COVID19 than there were in the April peak. Deaths lag, but ascending

https://t.co/cxSTlBztLB
6/n In this thread, and the replies to it, a claim of @allisonpearson's was examined, and found to be (surprise!) wholly untrue. It's so far from the truth right now, it's attaining light-speed.
https://t.co/qZb5EnexhM
7/ A reminder: @allisonpearson of the @Telegraph expressly, directly claimed not to post against lockdowns. I'm saying that is a lie.
https://t.co/Ugao1zm3rB
8/ Reminder: @allisonpearson directly claimed she didn't post against lockdowns. You may think my saying that's a lie is strong words. See below.
As for her claim lockdowns only postpone deaths, that's either a lie, or merely fatuous drivel from a halfwit.
https://t.co/PEeHnR9vCH
9/n A side-thread, separate, on ethical issues.

https://t.co/wywGbcRBNd
10/ For a change, here is a Tory MP, the Member of Parliament for Harborough, telling the absolute, unvarnished truth about @toadmeister's Lockdown-Sceptics crap (remember the #fakenews photo and post that #AllisonPearson tweeted out?):

https://t.co/5nNoY2wu79
11/ Here's @allisonpearson, yet again declaiming on subjects she's all too plainly willfully ignorant of. Does it also constitute part of a hate-campaign against the NHS? You be the judge. But you can't deny she doesn't have a clue. >73,000 dead in the UK
https://t.co/BYPw80Nc46
12/ @allisonpearson threatens legal action against a man for his allegedly saying she's part of a hate-campaign against the #NHS. Except #AllisonPearson lied before (photo "100% faked", remember?) & from below, maybe she's lying about not hating on the NHS
https://t.co/YDij6GvLRr
13/ The below is a lie. I repeat, @allisonpearson is lying with this claim. #COVID19 *can and does* kill young people too, we still don't know the long-term effects in children, & the purpose of the vaccine is ALSO to stop transmission of the virus.
https://t.co/wBQ5TcE2ly
14/ Here, @AllisonPearson, who has lied about a photo of a sick boy on a floor in a hospital, who has lied about the effects of the #COVID19 second-wave, who has vindictively & viciously threatened a member of the public, gets terribly unconsciously ironic.
15/ Here, @allisonpearson is claiming to know better than an epidemiologist. Except, even only in London, hardest-hit of the UK, seroprevalence of +ve #COVID19 status is only around 17.5%. So far over 75,000 have died in the UK.

https://t.co/64M0M0Qeq2

https://t.co/ODjlyVu3cH
16/ In easy-to-understand words for @allisonpearson. If, in *the hardest-hit area*, <20% are #COVID19 seropositive, & already over 75,000 are dead, then safely assume the other 80% not yet exposed will have an even larger number of dead if exposed to it
https://t.co/c53dRKTXXq
17/ In the two threads I have now done:
a/ @allisonpearson's direct claim she does not post against "lockdowns, tracing and quarantine" has been demonstrated to be false.
b/ Her many posts of misinformation on #COVID19 have been amply demonstrated.
18/ Also demonstrated in these two threads:
a/ @allisonpearson's relationship with the truth is tenuous at the best of times, and downright nonexistent at times, as when she claimed a photo of a sick boy on a floor was "100% fake".
https://t.co/a8X0HsIm8H
19/ Also demonstrated in these two threads of mine:

@allisonpearson is simply grossly uninformed, vocal but imbecilic, on #COVID19 in general, and many of her claims are directly dangerous.
https://t.co/yzeADziKNw
20/ As to whether @allisonpearson is crassly hypocritical, and insufferably vindictive and malicious, you can be the judge of that from my two threads.
https://t.co/hktfAAVEzp
21/ Oh, and I left out @allisonpearson's implicit claim not to be part of any hate-campaign against the UK NHS. Judge from all this for yourself. I have many more statements of hers bookmarked.

https://t.co/vYnHWeHFEb
22/ One addendum on @allisonpearson's self-own on some of her stupid remarks on #COVID19:
"I’ve asked so many people if they know anyone who has had Covid. Hardly anyone."
lol.
https://t.co/DB9qKSnGKy
23/ One more addendum: thread from @GregoryDavisHNH on @allisonpearson running a months-long hate campaign against public health officials and scientists.

#Suven – Journey of my first 50 bagger…

I bought #Suven first in Apr 2013 around Rs 20…today after almost 7.5 years, its Rs 1000 (Suven pharma 920 adjusted for bonus + Suven Life 80)..CAGR of almost 68% for 7.5 years. I am fortunate to hold it throughout the journey and

1/n

add on multiple occasions on way up. Like to share my experience in this thread for everyone’s benefit..

First time I bought because I like the management focus on R&D. It had chosen the most difficult therapeutic area in pharma which is CNS and it was investing the cash

2/n

flow it used to earn from CRAMS. It also used to write off all the R&D expenses in the P&L instead of capitalizing it in BS. That gave me lot of comfort about management quality.

I kept on adding as funds keep coming. I remember giving a public presentation on Suven in

3/n

Mumbai at one analyst meet in Nov 2017 when it was trading at Rs 160. There was a huge call option embedded at that time in the form of SUVN-502. That would have been the blockbuster molecule if succeeded with market potential of $10 Bn plus..result was due in Dec 2019,

4/n

I loaded around 250-300 knowing the value of CRAMS business itself is more than 300.

SUVN-502 failed in phase-II trials, stock was down 15% from 300 to 250 in a single day, I added heavily. it was largest allocation in my portfolio because I knew the value of CRAMS business

A statement about Stephanie Hayden.

In January I became aware that Ms Hayden (who monitors this account despite being blocked) had made a series of defamatory allegations about myself and my wife.

The allegations were made on Twitter, via Hayden’s account, and were widely retweeted.

The allegations were that as a result of her making a police complaint, (1) the police were seeking to urgently speak to me.

Furthermore (2) that police has spoken to me on 26/12/20 and offered some kind of “robust” advice about my conduct on and off line.

Finally (3) that police attended my home address in November, where my wife mislead them as to my whereabouts.

Hayden commented about this at length on Twitter, said that both and I am my wife had lied, and that I had even given a false address in Hampshire.

I said at the time all the allegations were false.

The police “complaint” was nothing more than Hayden making yet another vexatious complaint to the police, as Hayden routinely does.

The police did not speak to me on 26/12/20, as alleged, or at all.

Back when I went to Bishop’s University, I managed the student radio station, CJMQ. When I started, it was kind of a pirate station. We had an illegal antenna on a roof, and a couple of residences could get us through the radiators somehow. Nowhere to go but up.

Happily, it was 1993. Pump Up the Volume made it cool to be a DJ. Grunge and indie were huge. We went from, like, 12 DJs to 100 and started acting like a real radio station. God, it was awesome. It was like we were on a quest. It felt like a real crusade.

Eventually we decided to try to get an FM licence. This was no easy feat. The bureaucracy was maddening. It cost a lot. We needed to find a proper tower. Long story short, after two years of solid effort, everything came together: CJMQ was awarded 88.9 on your FM dial.

We were going to launch one blissful night in 1995. I planned a massive party and woke up the morning of, not quite believing we’d finally made it. I went to say good morning to my roommate, David, and… Not a single sound came out of my mouth. Not even a whisper.

I had completely and utterly lost my voice. OH GOD NO. I raced to the pharmacy and scribbled a note to the pharmacist: “I’ve lost my voice, and I really need my voice.” She nodded and retrieved two suppositories. They were each the size of large-caliber artillery shells.

The first area to focus on is diversity. This has become a dogma in the tech world, and despite the fact that tech is one of the most meritocratic industries in the world, there are constant efforts to promote diversity at the expense of fairness, merit and competency. Examples:

USC's Interactive Media & Games Division cancels all-star panel that included top-tier game developers who were invited to share their experiences with students. Why? Because there were no women on the

ElectronConf is a conf which chooses presenters based on blind auditions; the identity, gender, and race of the speaker is not known to the selection team. The results of that merit-based approach was an all-male panel. So they cancelled the conference.

Apple's head of diversity (a black woman) got in trouble for promoting a vision of diversity that is at odds with contemporary progressive dogma. (She left the company shortly after this

Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35

Post Independence, Army wanted to select the most experienced Indian commander as Army chief. But Nehru without consulting anyone appointed Gen Rob Lockhart, a senior British Army officer as the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Indian Army.


Most people were shocked to know that Nehru selected a British Man after fighting for independence for over 200 years! Major Gen A A ‘Jick’ Rudra of the Indian Army was completely upset with the decision.


One day Lockhart met Nehru with a strategic plan and proposed many government directive defence policies for the country. He placed it on the table and explained the point to PM Nehru. After a while Lockhart walked out of the room and met AA Jick Rudra,+

Lockhart looked shell shocked and stunned. When asked what happened he said “The PM took one look at my paper and blew his top. Rubbish! Total rubbish! We don’t need a defence plan. Our policy is ahimsa (non-violence). We foresee no military threats. Scrap the army!”

One year after the incident the Kashmir crisis had increased and Gen Lockhart used to exchange ideas with the Gen Douglas Gracey who was commander in chief of Pakistan Army.There were many infiltrations along the border which Lockhart knew and took no action. But Lt Gen Cariappa+

X : Yes
Me : Like this?
X : No. What's that?
Me : A map of a tea shop.


X : Why is that a map?
Me : Long story, all to do with how space has meaning. To keep it short, maps help people to focus on user needs, the components involved, to communicate missing components and scenario play ideas like staff becoming robots.


Me : They’re also good for measuring and managing capital flow, making investment decisions, removing bias and getting rid of duplication.
X : I don’t see how that helps with innovation?


Me : Well, innovation is a tricky word because we use it to describe many things. If you’re talking about differentiation with the adjacent unexplored then you’re experimenting in the “uncharted” space e.g. immortality with magic provided by the special custom built kettle.


X : That sounds like nonsense.
Me : A lot of what people think will be the next great innovation is nonsense. Actually, most of it is. That’s the nature of the uncharted space, it’s experimental, high risk and generally results in failure.
X : We need more reliable innovation.

You want to buy a house.

You take a loan from the bank.

The bank asks you, “what if you don’t pay back?”

You say, “take my home and sell it”.

(Thread)

That makes sense. The bank gives you a loan and in case you don’t pay, the bank will take over your house and sell it and recover its money.

That’s collateral.

Banks also lend money to big corporations. With them, banks don’t always have collateral.

So a loan where the bank has collateral is considered safer for the bank.

In the early 2000s, the banks in the USA were giving out loans to people for buying houses.

The economy had just recovered from the tech bubble in 2000 where many banks had given out loans to businesses that had shut down.

In that backdrop, the banks found giving home loans safer.

Marvels of Medical Science in Ancient India

ACHARYA SUSHRUTA and SUSHRUTA SAMHITA

Ancient Indians were pioneers in diverse fields of study and their genius was centuries ahead of their times. Feel the glory, basking in pride of their unparalleled achievements.

(Thread)


Sushruta (circa 7th or 6th century BC) was a surgeon who in present times is known as the “father of Indian medicine” and “father of plastic surgery” for inventing and developing surgical procedures. He lived in Kashi on the banks of river Ganga.(1)

His work documented in the Sushruta Samhita (compendium) is one of the oldest texts in the world on plastic surgery and regarded as one of the trilogies of Ayurveda. The other 2 being the Charaka Samhita and Astanga Hridaya.(2)

Sushruta compiled the Sushruta Samhita as an instruction manual for physicians to treat patients.(3)

The Samhita caters to surgical techniques listing over 300 surgical procedures and 120 surgical instruments. Additionally to 1,120 diseases, injuries and their treatments with over 700 medicinal herbs and their application.(4)
