The Board of Peace’s policy as it relates to UNRWA’s involvement in Gaza is unchanged.
We will only work with trusted partners who will deliver for the people of Gaza and contribute to a deradicalized Strip.

Looks like the @IrishTimes took down the glee piece about @Nick_Delehanty dog business. The tweets are gone and can't find the article on the site. This is odd to me.
The meeting of the two superpowers today is by far the most important news story of the day, both for Ireland and the world. What does RTE lead on? Israel. Derangement syndrome deepens further.

This is the good times and it's already grim, all that's needed is a small shock and the 'nobody saw this coming' brigade will be out in force full of their standard disbelief.

The @MissyElliott track 'work it' has that cool backwards sounding bit in it, I never actually reversed the audio to check it out - what a cool idea and makes it so unique. You'll hear it here, same wav back to back but reversed. Put ma thang down flip it and reverse it :-D

Europe has a young talent belt.
These are the regions where ≥57.5% of people aged 25–34 have tertiary education.
Spain alone has 7 of the 25 regions.
And the pattern looks very different from Europe’s R&D and high-tech maps.
Human capital has its own geography.
