Yep, I agree, the Agri concessions are gonna be really tough to get done.

yeah, wouldnt be surpising to see a nonsene deal that both leaders will sensationalise. Both need some face saving, especially Modi. But I doubt that he'll give up the Russian Oil, his Industrialist cabal is too powerful for that.

just because you've experienced a half-cooked opinion over something, there is no need to let it out. You dont have to share it with on this "void" called internet. Let that fart go, and simply move on: don't analyse how bad it stinks. Because, oh boy, does it stink!

Fuck, fuckity fuck, fuck!

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...

In 1916 the BMJ published an article about the work done by James Shearer, an American physician working in the British Army as a sergeant (because he had no British qualification). He had described a
"delineator" which was better than x rays for portraying gunshot wounds. This caused a sensation and a lot of interest — but on investigation the work was found to have been invented. The BMJ published a retraction, but Shearer was tried by court martial and sentenced to death by firing squad.

brilliant retelling of the tales of El Magnifico. Great man, some might even say the greatest man in the past 3000 year history of the world.

Here, I visited Khang Yatse and others in the Hemis National Park, Ladakh last motnh. I'm sure you can notice the glacial retreat on the lower left. Both Khang Yatse (p1) and Ibsti Kangri (p2) ice deposits appear minimal.

Khang Yatse is a 6400m high peak in the Hemis National Park of the Transhimalayas of India. Khang Yatse and nearby Glaciers feed into the Markha river.

This picture shows the glaciers just left of Khang Yatse. The retreat of the glacier is very obvious in the picture. Essentially, the glacial ice that is supposed to form a hanging glacier at the mouth of thr valley has reatreated, and now forms a massive dry wall of moraine.

Morning coffee makes me happy. Morning news makes me depri
Great article on loss of Glaciers. As someone who just returned from a bagpacking holiday next to Himalayan Glaciers, this breaks my heart

There can only be a two state solution if there *are* two states. Now Germany should recognise Palestine as well.
