Scratching my head as to how I'm going to get this lot in my boat. Setting off tomorrow from Sussex heading to Scotland via Land's End.
Quivering with nerves. #LEJOG#kayak#sea@RNLI#sussex
I once believed that the Israeli government's slaughter of civilians was indiscriminate. I was completely wrong. It is deliberate, massive and plainly genocidal.
@paulpowlesland The original source of the outbreak is ~300m up from here. Over the years I've been monitoring and it's never ventured upstream from there yet. The risk is that with more outbreaks the > the chance of powered boats taking it up river. @MVCP@CABI_News
Israel has blocked aid from entering northern Gaza and has said clearly that Palestinians will not be allowed to return home.
This is genocide.
This is ethnic cleansing.
As the government tries to quietly drop the chalk stream recovery pack, a reminder, politicians, that setting chalk streams on the path to recovery is 1 of 2 things you need to do if you want that pesky @Feargal_Sharkey to go away & leave you in peace.

“There used to be eels, trout and stickleback. You don’t see them now.” How a team of volunteers and @SussexUni academics are monitoring the health of the River Medway and its tributaries. Thanks to @Ripple_Sussex for letting me film them. https://t.co/9zrP1xmIeD
Welcome news from @HouseofCommons today
We’re pleased to see @AdrianRamsay's bill, which mandates water companies and public bodies to use nature-based solutions to reduce flood risk, introduced to parliament🌊
Prioritising NBS could be a gamechanger for communities and nature
If you’re interested in unpacking the science, facts & figures about carbon capture & storage, this video really takes you through the opportunity, potential, winners & losers.
"My olives, my olives"
Israelis uprooting olive trees with chainsaws and bulldozers.
Only a colonizer with no attachment to the land could be so cruel.
The UK seabed could annually capture almost three times the carbon soaked up by UK forests, according to new exclusive data.
As @alextomo explains, scientists are now looking to politicise mud to make the most of this vast carbon store.

@SouthernWater ///bricks.washed.crouching . I found a manhole approximately 30m from here (flowing away from TW,towards Adams Well) and could hear no flow? Could there be a blockage between these two manholes?
Towards an understanding of physical activity-induced post-exertional malaise: Insights into microvascular alterations and immunometabolic interactions in post-COVID condition and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
❗PEM: dysfunctional Mitochondria/Microcirculation!
➡️Interesting review article in which they “describe current evidence indicating that key pathophysiological features of PCC(=LC) and ME/CFS are involved in physical activity-induced PEM.
➡️“Upon physical activity, affected patients exhibit a reduced systemic oxygen extraction and oxidative phosphorylation capacity.”
➡️“Accumulating evidence suggests that these are mediated by dysfunctions in mitochondrial capacities and microcirculation that are maintained by latent immune activation, conjointly impairing peripheral bioenergetics.”
➡️“Aggravating deficits in tissue perfusion and oxygen utilization during activities cause exertional intolerance that are frequently accompanied by tachycardia, dyspnea, early cessation of activity and elicit downstream metabolic effects.”
➡️“The accumulation of molecules such as lactate, reactive oxygen species or prostaglandins might trigger local and systemic immune activation.”
➡️“Subsequent intensification of bioenergetic inflexibilities, muscular ionic disturbances and modulation of central nervous system functions can lead to an exacerbation of existing pathologies and symptoms.”
❗Importantly: “activity prescriptions should take the pathophysiological mechanisms of PCC and ME/CFS into account to attenuate the risk of provoking PEM”!
In short: With LC, "blind" exercise programs, as some advocate, are, as we already know, dangerous!
