The Hybrid Air Vehicles Airlander 10, initially known as the HAV 304, is a hybrid airship crafted by the British company Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV). This unique aircraft features a helium airship structure along with supplementary wing and tail components. It utilizes a combination of aerostatic and aerodynamic lift principles for flight and is driven by four ducted propellers powered by diesel engines.

Hank has two pieces of good news:
1. The bedaquiline thing.
2. The His Having Cancer thing.

I am still mad. Like, I believe in celebrating wins as wins, but no victory is final. This is a LONG TERM fight for access. So much depends upon the details and the actual implementation. This is a sports account, so to use a sports metaphor: We won a match, not a trophy.

@JasonMCobley @PhilBeadle @MsHMFL We called it 'targeted questioning' and put it in our progress reports. In two years it'll be called something else and mean nothing different

I was watching a show earlier in which characters agreed to meet "in Greenwich Park", on "Jubilee Avenue" by the "blue bench". Any ideas, @maryorelse? Jubilee Ave does appear to be a thing, but not on any map I could find.

@nairobiny @KateM45 The station ticket checkers (and police) love Plumstead. Only seen them once at MH in over a decade.

[Regan Gambier @andrekabu]

@Mr_S_Cains Yeah, baby!

Here we go again

Yesterday, we published a report about struggling readers at secondary school.

Reading is a fundamental life skill. But only 10% of disadvantaged pupils who leave primary with poor reading skills get a pass at GCSE English and maths. 🧵👇 (1/7)

@whedonesque Yes

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

What's the most important thing in education? If a child leaves primary school with a genuine love of reading, that will have a bigger positive impact on their life chances than any "measurable outcome". There is nothing more important than READING FOR PLEASURE. #literacy

Very angry man just outside Greenwich Park slamming and dragging ling-handled tool. Avoid gate near Maze Hill station for a bit

[Regan Gambier @andrekabu]

@rainbowrowell Like others, I will read whatever you write.

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.
