(1) Here are the amendments to the All Tiers Regs to implement Lockdown 3

 (2) Made at 4.30 pm today, laid before Parliament at 5.30 pm, published on https://t.co/ZtYk9EHWsF at 5.44 pm, come into force at 00.01 tomorrow, 6 Jan.
(3) As predicted they tweak the rules for Tier 4 and put the whole country into it - so just a mere 5 pages to do this
(4) So, some specific changes - on the restriction of movement, which prohibits leaving / being away from home without a reasonable excuse, the following circumstances which are deemed to be a reasonable excuse are deleted...
(5) recreation, visting a zoo etc is out
(6) A public outdoor place no longer includes "outdoor sportsgrounds or sports facilities" - so you can't go there to exercise (one of the deemed reasonable excuses for leaving home)
(7) The reasons deemed reasonable for placing a child in childcare / supervised activities were complex - they are now more complex - here is the old and the new - one wonders how realistic it is that parents are going to scrutinise this granular level of detail
(8) And - a point I've made before - why is it (specifically) ok to put a child in childcare to attend a job interview but not to attend a funeral (for instance)
(9) Permitted outdoor sports gathering for children is out as a deemed reasonable excuse - see the old and the amendment to it
(10) Parent and child group exception is deleted
(11) Moving on to the gathering exceptions, outdoor sportsgrounds or sports facilities no longer are public outdoor places where you can have an excepted gathering.
(12) Similar amendments to the gathering exceptions to tie into the changes to the deemed reasonable excuses to leave home - I won't recite them all here.
(13) On to business closures, outdoor gyms, outdoor sports facilities and sports grounds, outdoor rinks etc to close
(14) As for the beleaguered hospitality trade, they can't sell alcohol by any method other than deliveries - so, no walk-ins, no click and collect, no drive-thru
(15) Riding centres have to shut (previously it was indoor arenas at riding centres), as do aquariums, zoos, safari parks, animal attractions
(16) I should have identified earlier the location of the regulations these regulation amend - it's here - at some point https://t.co/FmcmSm1hiG will show the amendments made but at the minute you need both instruments to follow what is going on: https://t.co/3Uc34uECZg
(17) Back to the grindstone and some more categories of businesses that have to close:
(18) As the parent and child group excuse has gone there are consequential amendments to the exceptions that used to permit (but no longer permit) libraries and community centres to open for such groups.
(19) Bad news for people seeking a post Christmas Christmas tree bargain - businesses selling or supplying natural Christmas trees have to (legally) close
(20) I groaned inwardly (ok outwardly and very loudly) when the regs got sufficiently sophisticated to include English territorial waters and airspace (for boats docking in England and planes landing or taking off from England respectively) - now both out of the regulatory scope
(21) So, turning to what isn't in - there is no express travel ban on domestic or international travel - legal source of that is the prohibition on leaving home without a reasonable excuse
(22) The regulations still legally deem (reasonably necessary) exercise outside alone, with household or one other to be reasonable excuse
(23) Whilst the guidance says that exercise should be limited to once per day and you should not travel outside your local area to take it, that is guidance only rather than any express provision in the regulations, however.....
(24) ... it should be borne in mind that if exercise is being taken more than is reasonably necessary or involves a trip that is more than is reasonable to reach a place of exercise, a court may consider that the deemed reasonable excuse not made out.
(25) Because they provide for so many examples of "reasonable excuse" for leaving home and exceptions for gathering, the regulations have got bogged down in verbiage - an appeal to common sense (the June approach poss better) - but common sense still very relevant
(26) If an individual is taking the mickey, then the reality (like it or not) is that a court will strive to achieve what it considers the right result on the facts, and likely to be unimpressed by sophisticated legal arguments
(27) Hints in the guidance that people were going to be banned from own gardens not made out. Nothing in the old or the new regs about allotments - to leave home visit an allotment you a reasonable excuse to be there - some might say "I'm going to my allotment" to suffice
(28) However, would seem to me that working on an allotment is exercise and I can't imagine that any magistrate would think that it was unreasonable to tend to one.
(29) Here is the mighty @AdamWagner1's analysis - as ever he's spotted stuff I haven't https://t.co/Pi1MUHtwGT
(30) NHS App already treating it as in force

1. I am in the process of recovering four years of destroyed Twitter posts from my recent hack. Most related to an organization of rogue CIA agents doing election hacking, drug running, and dark weapons trading in a group led by AG Bill Barr. Other have call this the Enterprise.


2. The Enterprise is run Bill Barr himself and organized 800 ex-CIA agents and 300 ex-Soviet KGB Generals into a junta of 1,100 Frank Guistra partners in a sort of law firm of international crime. Iran Contra drug running was the first major operation in 1980. by the Enterprise.


3. Chip Tatum, a CIA pilot, flew Bill Barr, then a CIA attorney for George Bush, to Central America for Iran Contra banking and money laundering operations talks about this extensively in him book about his close friend, Robert Mueller, entitled, "The Mule".


4. A fundamental premise of my work over the last four years is to focus on this core Iran Contra, "Enterprise" group, to follow election hacking, dark weapons trade, drug running, and money laundering. Here are some video notes capture on the web from shows I did in 2016.


5. You can see in these 2016 show notes how my focus was on a USAID funded Serbian election flipping, subversive group called OTPOR. This group received subversion funds for election flipping through KKR, a joint venture of David Petraeus and Henry Kissinger.

Charles Walker, Vice Chair of the 1922 Tory backbench committee in the Commons tells TWTW that he thinks the government knew it intended to “cancel” Christmas on Wednesday or Thursday but waited for Parliament to rise to do it. Says many of his colleagues find this “egregious.”

When put to Walker that Matt Hancock said this morning that wasn’t the case, it was the briefing on Friday which prompted the decision, Walker says: “Hmm yeah...well I’d have to disagree with the SoS on that.” So he’s either saying Hancock isn’t being truthful or is misinformed.

Walker: “Surely at some stage a senior government minister has say I’ve offered my resignation to the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister has to say- very early I’ve had to accept this.”

Reminder- Charles Walker is Vice Chair of the Tory backbench committee.

Walker heavily implies it’s Matt Hancock he wants to see resign: “I’m not asking for the government to collapse. I’m asking for a Secretary of State to take some responsibility.”

The Charles Walker interview is extraordinary in what he is inferring. A senior Conservative MP is essentially accusing his govt and ministers of deceit about what they knew about the new strain and when and by implication the timing of the new lockdown.

A federal judge in DC is holding a detention hearing in the cases of Capitol insurrection defendants Eric Munchel (who was photographed wearing tactical gear and holding a bunch of zip tie handcuffs) and his mother Lisa Eisenhart — the govt is arguing to keep both behind bars


Re: the zip tie handcuffs that Munchel and Eisenhart allegedly picked up inside the Capitol, AUSA Ahmed Baset says they were visible to lots of people passing by at the time but these two not only took them, but did so "with glee"


Baset says it's true that Munchel and Eisenhart aren't charged with physically hurting anyone, the evidence shows they were looking for lawmakers, who had been cleared out. "They should not be given credit for that," Baset argues.

Baset says that Munchel was in touch with the Proud Boys in Tennessee *after* Jan. 6 and talked about how he'd wanted to join their ranks before but didn't know how

Munchel's lawyer Sandra Roland argues that the Tennessee magistrate judge who granted pretrial release to Munchel and Eisenhart got it right in finding that the govt failed to show there were no combination of release conditions that would protect the community

Today, several religious denominations in the USA commemorate the day as "Four Chaplains Day"

Indeed, the US Senate proclaimed February 3, 1998 as Four Chaplains Day, and it is celebrated in the liturgy of the US Episcopal Church as a feast day. But what's the deal?

Well, the four chaplains have names, which I will come to. On 23 January 1943, an American passenger ship, the SS Dorchester, left New York, in Convoy SG19, escorted by three US Coast Guard cutters. Bound for Greenland.


There were about 900 passengers and crew, including approx 750 US Army soldiers.

On 3 February (this was a very slow convoy), the SS Dorchester was torpedoed by German U-boat U-223

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x


The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x

Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x

The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x

It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x

Yoga Ramar Temple
#Nedungunam
#TamilNaduTemples 🚩

Yoga Ramar Temple is located near Thiruvannamalai. Shri Rama is seated with eyes closed, without any weapons. Mata Sita  pointing to the feet of Rama telling that  everyone is safe at his feet. Lakshmana standing near Shri Rama


Hanuman is seen chanting Vedas obediently sitting before Shri Rama.

Sthala Puranam says that, Sukabrahma Maharishi had been doing Tapasya here, for the darshan of Sri Rama. Prabhu Shri Ram, pleased with his tapasya, came here after Rama Ravana yudham. Since Rama was returning


after the war, he did not have any weapons with him.

Another gopuram called Kili Gopuram is there for Sukabrahma Maharishi. There is a hill nearby called Dheergachala. According to Sthala puranam, Sri Padham of Prabhu Rama are found on the top of the hill


It is said that this is the place where Shri Rama gave darshan to Suka Maharishi. Nedumgunam means which shows all qualities of Shri Rama who is Maryadha purushottam. Shri Ramanavami is very famous here.

Jai Sri Ram

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)


The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)

1. The major problem most startups face is marketing and the ability to carve out a niche, find and retain paying customers.

Even with a stellar developer team and a stellar product, your startup may not grow or survive without a great marketing and sales teams.

2. Start growing your audience before you’ve a product or an idea.

You should start promoting yourself and building your audience before you have a finished product or even before you have a great idea that you want to build.

3. Don’t wait to start building your audience after you’ve launched a product.

Most first-time developers actually ignore marketing.

They’re oblivious to the challenge of attracting people to take a look at something they’ve created.

4. At least until they see their first project crash and burn within hours of the launch.

There are so many times that I have seen developers spend countless hours building something, releasing it with no fanfare...

5. and only then trying to figure out how to promote it by asking marketing questions on Indie Hackers, Quora or Hacker News. Don’t make that mistake.
