Bajau people of Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia were first recorded by Europeans when Venetian explorer Antonio Pigafetta met them in 1521 AD. These maritime nomadic people have been fishing and diving for many millennia and over that time they have evolved bigger spleens which allows them to dive for longer than the average human.
According to scientists :
"The bigger spleen makes more oxygen available in their blood for diving. Located close to the stomach, the fist-sized spleen removes old cells from the blood and acts as a biological scuba tank during long dives."
Bajau people can dive to depths of over 200 feet and hold their breath for 13 minutes. They can also walk across the seabed hunting fish. These people live most their lives at sea and are the first known humans genetically adapted to diving.

Although we lost the match, but hats off to my captain for his brilliant captaincy under pressure. He didn't lose hope when SL needed 41 on 42 balls, and despite of the absence of five main players, he still managed to take the game to the last ball. Stay strong kaptaan . You did your best again ❤️

🧵regarding the 2-handed knot tying technique, and specifically whether it has *any* advantages over the 1-handed method.
We'll cover why one should practice tying with a 2-handed technique, and also go over the important concept of why it's easier to tie 'up in the air'.

🧵regarding several ways in which you can inadvertently damage the tissues when approximating them with sutures.
These are particularly important to recognize when the tissue is thin or fragile, because this is when you may not get away with using sloppy technique.

I'm sorry for everything you’ve been through, Benjamin Mendy.
You lost two years of your career, but that's the least of this whole situation… What about the psychological damage? Surely your life will never be the same. The culture of destroying reputations has made yet another victim.
Until when will we be accused and condemned without having the right to basic defense? Fake news are created and spread without checking any facts (which is something I personally felt a lot on this holidays) and then the situation only gets worse.
Being responsible would be the minimum for any professional, but nowadays serious work has become an exception. There’s no limits to get more clicks and engagement.
My question is what will be done to repair the damage?
