I realise the tweet was misinterpreted by all sides. Here is an adjusted version: ------------------------ Just an observation on Pakistani mediation: Trump's statement on the ceasefire with Iran refers to both the Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif AND the Army Chief of Staff Asim Munir. I have never read Trump thanking Macron AND the French Chief of Staff for diplomacy. Nor have I ever read statements by Macron thanking the German Chancellor AND the German army chief of staff for diplomacy. Nor have I ever read the German Chancellor thanking the UK Prime Minister AND the UK Chief of Staff for diplomacy. The reason the chief of staff is never thanked in public statements by state leaders is because authority is implicitly recognised as being embodied in the elected official. The elected official (often the leader of the nation) is chosen by the nation's people, and therefore thanking that elected official is the equivalent of thanking the nation. But Pakistan is built different. In Pakistan, the Army Chief of Staff is the leader of the nation (not the elected official). The Army Chief of Staff is king and the 'elected' officials are his diplomats and administrators. The Army Chief of Staff is THE administrator, THE diplomat, THE mediator, and ultimate decision-maker. Sisi in Egypt merged the two offices of President and Chief of Staff, assuming the position of an "elected" President to maintain the pretence of a nation run by popular mandate (not military authority). Pakistan however is built different. No pretence is made or needed. The official is thanked out of respect for the office that technically should have the authority. The Chief of Staff is thanked for having deployed the real authority.

Your body starts warning you about a heart attack years before you ever feel chest pain. The first place it shows up is your sex life. I looked into the study this tweet is citing and the numbers don’t add up. The study is real. 2010, American Journal of Cardiology, 16 years, men aged 40 to 70. All checks out. But it didn’t find a 50% reduction in heart attacks. It found that men having sex once a month or less were 45% more likely to develop heart disease compared to men going at least twice a week. And the study measured all kinds of heart problems, not just heart attacks. The tweet got the direction backwards too. It sold more sex as a health perk. The study was flagging less sex as a red flag. The blood vessel that makes an erection possible is about 1 to 2 millimeters wide. Think pencil lead. The one feeding your heart is 3 to 4 millimeters, roughly twice that size. The gunk that causes heart attacks builds up everywhere. But it chokes the smaller pipes first. Your body is giving you a heads up downstairs before the real crisis hits upstairs. Researchers looked at men who already had confirmed heart disease and found that 49% of them had been dealing with erection problems. 67% said the erection issues started before any chest pain. By years, in some cases. The 2010 study tracked 1,165 men near Boston for 16 years. After filtering out age, weight, blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol, one pattern held. The guys having sex once a month or less were still 45% more likely to develop heart disease. Pretty clear takeaway. Doctors should be asking about sex the same way they ask about smoking. And this part caught me off guard. Americans are having way less sex now than even a decade ago. In 1990, 55% of adults between 18 and 64 were having sex weekly, and by 2024 that number dropped to 37%. One in four people under 30 haven’t had sex all year. Even married couples dropped from 59% weekly to 49%. If less sex really is the body’s early fire alarm for heart trouble, a lot of people just quietly lost theirs. The tweet made it sound like more sex keeps your heart safe. The study found something closer to a warning: if your sex life is slowing down, your heart might already be telling you why.
World of Statistics@stats_feed

Men having sex 2 times a week, will help reduce your risk of heart attack by 50%. This is based according to a 2010 study published in the American Journal of Cardiology conducted over a 16-year period with men aged 40 to 70.

@MedicoTalk These can surely lead to death within a few minutes to hours. Traumatic asphyxia will occur when the body is still stuck. But for sudden death, why not commotio cordis or base of skull / cervical spine fracture,

Let me put it more grimly: what can be the source of income for Grade 19/20 officers that allows them to buy a house in a top-tier city in the West, settle their family there, and visit them every three to four months? Now imagine that if this is what BPS 19/20 officers can manage, what must generals, secretaries, judges, and others be able to manage?

Going ballistic against the UAE is counterproductive. If you are serious about dignity and sovereignty etc, just audit any small district’s deputy commissioner’s office, examine the resources placed at its disposal, and then assess how much actual public utility it delivers. That alone will explain why Pakistan is so debt-ridden.

I remember a conversation yrs ago with Angry Birds co-founder about the education system in India. He said something that stuck with me. In India, ask someone which are the best institutes & the answer usually is IITs/IIMs. In Finland, ask the same question & the answer is simple: the school closest to your home.

According to the latest ATLS (10th edition) The preferred site for needle decompression of tension pneumothorax is: 5th intercostal space (ICS), anterior to mid-axillary line (AAL) (often described as 4th–5th ICS at the anterior/mid-axillary line) Why not 2nd ICS MCL anymore? Older ATLS recommended: 2nd ICS, mid-clavicular line (MCL) But this changed because: Higher failure rate Thicker chest wall at 2nd ICS (especially in obese patients) Risk of missing pleural space Risk of vascular injury So answer is B✅ #MedTwitter

A 32-year-old male presents after a high-speed MVC. He is agitated, hypotensive (BP 78/50 mmHg), tachycardic (HR 138 bpm), and hypoxic despite oxygen. Examination reveals: •Distended neck veins. •Absent breath sounds on the right. •Hyperresonance on percussion. •Tracheal deviation to the left. You diagnose tension pneumothorax. According to current Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) guidelines, what is the most appropriate site for immediate needle decompression? A. 2nd intercostal space, mid- clavicular line, inserted below the rib. B. 5th intercostal space, anterior to the mid-axillary line, inserted above the rib. C. 4th intercostal space, posterior axillary line, inserted below the rib D. 3rd intercostal space, mid- clavicular line, inserted above the rib. E. 6th intercostal space, mid-axillary line, inserted above the rib. @Dr_Mofire @Dr_Shiv_kumar_ @dr_manish_ydv @SameerYogi14 @DrAkhilX @drabdulhameed07 @DrsansariOrd @sadiairum990 @AnushkaMoray @albertoortegana @usernamee389 @albertoortegana

Zhao DaShuai 东北进修🇨🇳 Commentary
Over the years, President Xi has zero personal scandals, not even the anti-China media have produced anything. The biggest scandal involving past and present US presidents? Rape, dismembering infants and ritual killings, as alleged in the Epstein files. So China is the bad guy according to Western propaganda, right?

Iceland Cricket@icelandcricket

Dear @ICC, It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor. Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game. This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought. Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided. The future is always ice, until it isn't. Yours sincerely, Icelandic Cricket Association
