Our new work, "White-matter functional connectivity uniquely predicts brain age, cognition, and psychopathology beyond gray-matter connectivity," is now out in PNAS @PNASNews: https://t.co/f9iWeiNOEY! Congrats to @cngjng333533221, Shaoling & @xsmilebook.
@SirJarus Rijkaard brought flair to Barcelona’s style of play, and his final years at the club, especially from 2004 to 2006, were outstanding. I think he introduced discipline and responsibility to the team, laying the foundation for Pep Guardiola’s success that followed.
Senegal is becoming a perfect case study of what happens when revolutionary politics finally meets the realities of governing.
It’s easy to unite people against a system.
It’s much harder to run the economy, negotiate debt, satisfy voters and still maintain the purity of the movement.
A lot of liberation-style movements in Africa struggle once they transition from opposition to government because charisma and slogans eventually collide with budgets, IMF pressure and state institutions.
That’s exactly what we’re watching in Senegal right now.
@AskMichaelTaiwo No country owns it, SoH is governed by international maritime law but Iran has powerful military presence there with ability to exert a significant amount of control more than Oman
Exactly 25 years ago today, I scored my first — and only — professional goal.
Contrary to what I believed at the time, goalkeepers are not allowed to handle the ball in both penalty areas.
The goal was disallowed and I was sent off — still it earned me legendary status. 😉

Nigeria is the only country where your smartest people are actively planning their escape.
Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers.
Everyone is studying how to leave instead of how to build.
And somehow, the least competent people are fighting to lead.
And we pretend that’s normal.
@PoojaMedia That’s why it wasn’t treated as an abandonment/forfeit and Morocco wasn’t simply awarded the win on the spot.the Senegal coach isn’t a player, so any punishment is tied to his conduct (what he said/did and what referee reported).
@PoojaMedia Not exactly—Senegal didn’t fully walk off and refuse to continue; some players were still on or around the pitch, the stoppage was temporary, and the team returned so the match was completed.
