Panel time with some very interesting and informative questioning! What a morning!

What a line up! With your chairs for the day: @paws1968 and @skimmod

Its what i really love and value about @ComitProjects is the diverse perspectives & subjects. But mostly the network and friendships made in this very unique community

Britain 🇬🇧, France 🇫🇷 and Russia 🇷🇺sailed into Ottoman waters. To talk. They accidentally created a country. Greece was being destroyed. The Ottoman Empire was massacring civilians. Tens of thousands killed on Chios alone. Tens of thousands more sold into slavery. Europe debated. Sent letters. Held conferences. Then an unlikely alliance sent a fleet.🇬🇧🇫🇷🇷🇺 Not to fight. To enforce an armistice. Vice-Admiral Codrington, a Trafalgar veteran, sailed 27 allied ships straight into Navarino Bay. Inside: 60 Ottoman-Egyptian warships. Guns loaded. Broadsides aimed at the harbour entrance. Nobody was supposed to fire. Then a shot was fired. In four hours, the entire Ottoman fleet was destroyed. Sixty warships. Burned. Sunk. Gone. It was the last major naval battle fought entirely under sail. London called it an "untoward event." Without a fleet, the Ottomans couldn't hold Greece. By 1832, Greece was an independent nation. Because three rival empires sailed in to have a conversation. And the conversation got out of hand. proudofus.co.uk Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

Be careful with people who have HIGH FUNCTIONING DEPRESSION. Let's go through this together 👇👇 1. They get up, get dressed, go to work, and cry in silence when nobody’s watching. 2. They check on everybody else, but don’t feel safe asking for help themselves. 3. Their smile is practiced, their “I’m fine” is automatic, their breakdowns are private. 4. They appear to be okay, give solid advice, and hold everybody down, but when the world gets quiet, their thoughts get loud. 5. You think they’re okay because they’re productive, but they only stay busy to avoid feeling anything. 6. High functioning depression doesn’t look like laziness, it looks like overworking, overthinking, and never resting. 7. They keep it together in public, but fall apart in the shower, in traffic, or right before bed. 8. Just because they don’t say “I’m struggling” doesn’t mean they’re not drowning inside. 9. They apologize for being “too much” when they’ve really just been holding too much in. 10. They make everyone feel better, but go home feeling empty. So when someone says “check on your strong friends,” Do it. Because the ones who always say “I got it” are usually the ones who don’t. They suffer in silence. They laugh through pain. And they master how to function when they’re barely holding on. #endthestigma #mentalhealth #youmatter #SuicideAwareness #mentalhealthsupport

Don't be disheartened if things don't go to plan; All you need to do is keep being you and do the best that you can.

Building, bridging, and operating… even through relentless rain. If it’s not flooded, muddy, or waterlogged, is it even a proper exercise? Ubique everywhere… especially in the rain #UKWeather #SoggySapper

Tim Berners Lee. Thank you.

I stood in front of this painting yesterday and everything felt better for a few moments. The Fighting Temeraire, by JMW Turner: the greatest artist ever. What many people don’t think about and what blows my mind, is when you’re stood in front of a painting by Turner, Van Gogh, Monet, Constable or any artist, you are standing exactly where that artist stood. They stood right there looking at their work. Think about it next time you’re stood looking at a painting.

When the days feel that they can't get any colder and darker and greyer, the first snowdrops appear, pushing their brave, bright shoots out of the hard earth and into the sun. They're more than flowers, they're little spikes of hope, shining out from under the trees and along the verges to say, it's all OK, it's all going to plan, hang in there. 📍 Peak District, England © Peaklass, all real, no AI

@neilwirving Sounds interesting indeed! Definitely up for that 😎

@skimmod I’m researching for an article on tech resilience in construction Iain - would love to have a chat and your thoughts.

Its not just about resilience. Its also about planning. Knowing what and who you depend on, as well as what depends on you is vital when its comes to all infrastructure. I have been delivering these analysis for years. linkedin.com/pulse/you-dont…
