Please don’t ignore his future prophecies.

We were crap today.
But a moment of magic from @NoniMadueke_ and two moments of brilliant defending from @_DeclanRice & @EzriKonsa saved the day.
That’s how champions grind out wins when they’re not playing well. Proud of you, chaps @Arsenal 👍👏👏

Tambe marrying Lokhande is Alloying.

Lokhande marrying Pitale is brazing

Khote marrying Khare is cheating.

Kale marrying Gore is contrasting.

Hiwale marrying Unhale is Global warming.

But Wagh marrying Waghmare is pure suicide!

Order passed by a Division Bench of the Hon’ble Karnataka High Court. I sincerely request you to read carefully. Am I still a Chor or Cheat ? I lived life Kingsize with my own money and that was my biggest crime for which I am being punished . There is a God above for all of us. Someday Justice will prevail.

The Indian Army has one method for equipping the ordinary jawan:

-float a tender
-let it stall in spec changes and trial loops
-rush an emergency buy from whoever can deliver in 12 months,
-and leave the peace-station battalions waiting.

The helmet went through it. The carbine went through it for nearly twenty years. Body armour skipped it altogether, and jawans even ended up buying their own carriers.

The result:
-put a 1971 jawan next to one in a peacetime garrison today -and the kit matches
-iron-sighted rifle, canvas harness
-a helmet with nowhere to mount a radio or a night sight.
-it's all a bit too sad really

Consider the helmet:
-much of the Army outside the frontline still wears the Model 1974.
-it's a fibreglass shell built to protect the head from falling rocks.
-it does not stop bullets
-atleast a steel helmet from World War II stopped a pistol round.
-the Model 74 doesn't
-in 2017–18 the Army bought 1.58 lakh Mukut composite helmets from MKU.
-these stop pistol rounds and shrapnel. They do not stop a rifle bullet, the round an AK-47 fires
-in early 2022 the Defence Ministry invited bids for 80,000 helmets that can stop rifle bullets.
-the tender got stuck — specifications kept changing, trials dragged on — and stayed stuck
- so the Army used an emergency route to buy 45,000–60,000 helmets quickly from MKU and SMPP.
-this was "fast", but it left the force with helmets from different makers that don't match, and units away from the frontline still waiting

This sort of issue persists in the procurement of many other things as well.
-night vision: the section commander carries a thermal imager; the individual jawan has no night optical device,
-and the Model 74 has no shroud to mount one anyway
-comms: no intra-squad radios.
-a firefight today runs on hand signals and shouting, unchanged since WWII

Across the LAC, the PLA has mass-issued composite helmets, thermal scopes, digital comms and body armour to its combined-arms brigades

What have we done?!?

I won’t be surprised if AI trades in Korea touch a 50 pct drawdown. We are not far at -36 pct odd.
Typical trait of excesses happens when we technology is extrapolated into infinity. AI is super as a technology and those in early are super smart but not always those who enter over crowded trades

The London stock market just saw one of its biggest listings in years, in the form of Airtel Money. Does this mark a turning point for the UK market? Can anything be done to encourage more IPOs? And what does it mean for your investments? https://t.co/VXhnZ8h4JC
