BC TWITTER
Saved by @CodyyyGardner

What I learnt on the Twitter this week:

1. Well I know I learnt a lot more on Twitter this week than Trump did.
2. After Covid numbers skyrocket in Ontario for past four months, Doug Ford says the data modelling suggests he might have to stop his cross-province campaigning soon.

 3. After the assault on the Capitol this week, the CPC finally pulls camou MAGA hats from online merch shop.
4. With pictures of the CPC's Deputy Leader wearing a camou MAGA hat circulating, Michelle Rempel expresses outrage that Candice Bergen getting more attention than she is.
5. UCP MLA Pat Rehn issues statement after return from Xmas trip to Mexico. Says he is sorry, but also very excellent.
6. Jason Kenney says he knows he's failed Albertans and that's why he moved up to the Sky Palace to help him see things from the everyday people's perspective.
7. Westjet insists Kenney government provide more notice of planned out-of-country travel next time so airline can be sure to have enough planes ready.
8. Blogger Karen Bexte travels to DC for insurrection, asks to speak to Canada's manager after he's asked to take a Covid test.
9. Trump says the crowd he got to attack the Capitol was far larger than any crowd Obama ever got to attack the Capitol. Huge crowd. Tremendous crowd of terrorists.
10. After being shut down on every major social media platform, Trump seen at Radio Shack haggling over a CB radio.
11. Doug Ford says Ontario can't vaccinate people any faster because he only has half of his supply of vaccines left and vaccines are like a car's gas tank and you should never let the tank get below the quarter mark because it's bad for the motor, folks.
12. Lecce says schools are safe and kids to blame for the rise in youth Covid cases because they were ostensibly sharing doobies over Xmas.
13. Ford's Covid Command Table medical expert Dr. Tom Stewart says email about no personal travel during a pandemic went to his spam folder.
14. UCP MLA Miranda Rosin writes in newsletter that the worst part about Covid is no church and not being able pick out unbruised produce at the store. That's it. That's the funny part.
15. UCP MLA Devin Dreeshen blocks half of Canada on Twitter. Nine people have ever heard him.
16. Erin O'Toole expresses disappointment about Capitol attack. Says that's not democracy. CPC then publishes online campaign literature saying Trudeau fixing next election. O'Toole says it's a bigly problem. Tremendous unfairness.
17. Poilievre gets Grade 4 math wrong. Again.
18. Ontarians fall out of their chairs after learning Doug's working his back off around the clock to put everything on the table.
19. Doug says everything's on the table. Except any actual plan of action. Or expertise.
20. Hundreds die at Ontario LTCs. Trudeau to blame. Somehow.
21. Ford clamping down on travelers at Pearson. Says all new arrivals must be tested before they go to Vaughan Mills Outlet to support Ontario businesses.
22. Ford says new data modelling is terrifying. Asks Ontarians if they think the data modelling is behind Door #1, #2 or #3?
23. Ford's Comms team comes out with all their Comms gun blazing, saying Doug's "unwavering support for Donald Trump" is not what it looks like. That's it. That's the funny part.
24. Doug announces on Friday that Ontario is doomed. Says he'll expand on that sometime next week.
25. Prominent Republicans start disavowing support for Trump. Say they cannot support his behaviour this week. That he's been undermining democracy this week. He's not being presidential. This week.

Many were seen later in the parking lot yelling "Start the car! Start the car!"
26. Tough week on the news front. In Ontario. In Canada. Amurikuh. Across the globe really. Nerves are frazzled. Minds and bodies exhausted. People are hurting and sad. Nations and democracies are in turmoil. And, as usual, the CPC was no help. At all.
27. Gotta admit, after 10 months of this, I'm feeling a little burnt out.

Then I remind myself how frontline healthcare workers must feel these days.

Anyway, be sure you all get outside for at least a good long walk this weekend. It does the spirit good.

Chandeshwara/Chandikeshwara is regarded as custodian of Shiva Temple's wealth&most of Shiva temples in South India has separate sannathi for him.

His bhakti for Bhagwan Shiva elevated him as one of foremost among Nayanmars.

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.

@ChenHuailun here. I'm adding a supplementary thread before today's scheduled one to expand on the origins and early history of the Church of the East (aka the Nestorian Church) ~ahc #jingjiao 1/


The Church of the East traces its origins to the christological position of the School of Antioch, which held that the human and divine and human essences (ουσία) of Christ were united in a single prosopon (πρόσωπον). ~ahc #jingjiao 2/


This ran against the position of the School of Alexandria, which held that the two essences of Christ were united in a single hypostasis (ὑπόστασις). In general terms, hypostasis is more inherent than prosopon. ~ahc #jingjiao 3/


One implication of the Antiochene rejection of the hypostatic union is that Mary could not accurately be called the Theotokos, or God-bearer. Instead, she is the Christotokos, the Christ-bearer. ~ahc #jingjiao 4/


These Christological debates were further complicated by Syriac terms such as 'kyana' (ܟܝܢܐ), associated with 'ousia' but later translated to 'hypostasis' by Syrian Orthodox; and 'qnoma ' (ܩܢܘܡܐ), sometimes contentiously translated as 'hypostasis' or 'person.' ~ahc #jingjiao 5/
