Private equity group tried to buy a baseball team in Japan.

That was enough to protect their downside - so they bought it.
Very happy to share my latest article published by Problems of Post-Communism. We (@IlirKalemaj) explore the impact of communist legacy in Albania and its effects on views toward democracy and partisan support.

@zkusovac When you respond to a demeaning Twitter post like Dua Lipa did you are rescinding nothing, as neither am I by defending Dua's tweet. And I think your definition of 'source' is confined to academic parlance, nor do I get your disparagement of twitter seeing how active you are.
@SiditaKushi I don’t think its necessary to script, and definitely di not script the whole lecture. If the lecture videos are pre-recorded then yes you will miss the class discussions which allow you to take a short breather and elaborate on something you might have ignored otherwise, but...
I'm not a native speaker of English myself, but the quality of English in this peer review makes you question a lot of things; not to mention that the reviewer has taken it upon themselves to predict the world post-Covid19.

To explain the COVID shock I use the metaphor of the US as a Mustang and Europe as a Volvo. Filmmaker Diane Zilliox made this awesome short film to illustrate this. With infections rising again, it time to revisit the metaphor: https://t.co/DB6vAbDOSb
