💫 Clear confusion regarding date & timings of #HolikaDahan '23

🌉 #Holi Jagran Importance

🪅Harmful effects of #Chemical Colors

🎋How to make Alternative #Homemade #Organic Colors

🔮#VedicHoli with ♻️#Palash
Date & Timing of every #Hindu festival is considered according to the Panchang which is a detailed calculation & study of stars, constellations and planetary positions.

Hence this year #HolikaDahan will occur on 2 days based on the timings of sunset.
There are 4 Maharatris in Sanatan Dharma which bestow maximum spiritual benefits to the spritual aspirant who makes the most of this auspicious time.

#Mahashivratri, #Holi, Shri Krishna #Janmashtami & #Deepawali. The sadhana performed during these pious hours acts as catalyst.

2/6 #BOUasm21 #BREAK3 Moors and Christians #festivals are very noisy recreational activities with the use of fireworks and powder guns. These festivals raise a potential #conflict between festivals participants and #bird conservation. Did this noise affect birds breeding success? Image

Hello MSM👋 waiting for someone to expose the SCANDAL of #COVID19UK, our children & young ppl.

The web of players, the links to the #CRG & other @Conservatives MPs, @hartgroup_org, @UsforThemUK, #GreatBarringtonDeclaration advocates, @Telegraph @Daily_Express journalists……1/11
The relentless stream of #COVIDDisinformation, which has been supported & retweeted by a small group of “like minded” medical professionals who should know better.

I’ve absolutely no doubt that issues w/ 2nd vaccines for 18-30yr olds & the pause on 12-18yr old 💉s are linked.
Is it too cynical to believe that withholding full vaccination of the <30s & not vaccinating even CV/CEV 12-18yr olds during the summer holidays is related to a desire to INCREASE #coronavirus TRANSMISSION as part of the #HerdImmunityByInfection “strategy”……with a NOVEL VIRUS!!

#Thread on the Odia Maritime Activities since ancient times.

Kalingan Prince Vijaya was the first Sinhalese king of Sri Lanka. He ruled Sri Lanka in the 6th-century BCE.

Kalingans further established a kingdom in the far-off Maldives Islands before 3rd century BCE !

This is concrete testimony of the early sea-faring people of Odisha.

Ptolemy's work of ~150 CE - "Geography" - mentions the Kalinga trade with *Far-East*.

*Kalinga-Roman* maritime trade flourished as well, judging from the findings of Shishupalgarh excavations.

Met al dat geouwehoer over #Zweden dacht ik, ik zoek even bij de #Zweedse overheid. Die zullen het toch wel weten?

Dit zijn de huidige maatregelen in Zweden

#CW: voor sommigen gaat dit schokkend zijn. Als je gelooft dat het hier superslecht is in vergelijk, ga even zitten...
Bron:
krisinformation.se/en/hazards-and…

Om te beginnen het perspectief:
de volgende regels gelden tot september 2021.

Das nog eens andere koek. Wel fijn, hoef je niet iedere 2 weken naar die verbale diarree te luisteren.
Om te beginnen de regels voor bijeenkomsten: niet meer dan 6 mensen, niet meer dan acht "zakelijk". Voorlopig is dat minder strikt dan bij ons.

#Kadambattu - During Pongal and Kailpoldu, Kadambattu or steamed rice balls are made and usually eaten with curries. The dish is made from broken rice and coconut which is boiled till it becomes mushy and then shaped into round balls and steamed again to hold its shape.
Caramel Sheer Khurma is a dish made from Vermicelli, dates, dry fruits and milk. This special dish is served on the morning of Eid day in the family after the #Eid prayer as breakfast, and throughout the day to all the visiting guests.

En ces temps de crise, les festivals se retrouvent bloqués face à la mauvaise foi d’une partie des compagnies d’assurance. Voilà ce qu’un courtier en assurance me disait au téléphone cette semaine, et c’est pas joli joli.
#Thread 1/14

#festivals #COVID__19 #assurances
Tout d’abord, je précise qu’il témoigne anonymement. "C’est particulièrement chaud sur le marché en ce moment, on évite de prendre des positions ouvertes." 2/14
Voilà donc ce qu’il m’a expliqué :
"Une assurance, c’est un contrat. Quand vous êtes une compagnie d'assurance, que vous acceptez de prendre un risque, il faut que vous ayez suffisamment d’argent sur votre compte pour couvrir les sinistres."

Logique.

The Jodhpur #rulers were always striving to introduce new thoughts and knowledge into their state Sir Pratap Singh designed the #Jodhpurs type of #breeches #Jodhpur has produced 2 imp #designers since then. Did the spirit of innovation rub off? #Raghavendrarathore @anujsharmanid

For those supporting this utterly shameful call- #मुस्लिमो_का_संपूर्ण_बहिष्कार,we advise you to read about the warm friendship & amity btw #Madurai's multi-religious dressmakers, who have stitched costumes for the city's #temple #festivals for generations.bit.ly/35T2nvx Image
"We are like relatives & that is how we call each other. We stand for each other, protect each other...in #Madurai you can find us only in each other’s arms, not at each other’s throats.” says G. Muthu Pandi, a #dressmaker in #Madurai, about his many Muslim colleagues. ImageImage
“We too understand the historical importance of Pudhu Mandapam and want to preserve it," fellow dressmaker Abu Siddique echoes this #secular sentiment & even says some customers on learning he is Muslim, pay him extra & tell him they are lucky to buy stuff there. @kavithamurali ImageImage

Excited to share that our #GHB paper is now out in @AddictionJrnl.
With @RoseCrossin @foruharmoayeri @DebbieScott16 and team @TurningPointAU @MonashAddiction

Trends in GHB‐related harms 2012‐2018 in Victoria
Spoiler alert, 147% rise
Highlights here->
What we did: looked at ambulance callouts for #GHB alone vs for co-use w other drugs (eg. #methamphetamine, #alcohol)
What we found: Overall #GHB presentations increased 147%, peaking in 2017 at 1339 callouts. This increase was largely driven by #GHB+#methamphetamine use together
#methamphetamine #ice co-use was >6x more likely to result in ambulance callouts than co-use with other drugs e.g. alcohol; and more #mentalhealth symptoms e.g. psychosis or anxiety.
