@archeohistories Strange to see it like this - when I first saw the shore temple the waves were lapping against it.

Hey @DuaneReade @Walgreens - I just went to buy some Panini World Cup soccer stickers from my local store and they told me they are now only seeling the 50 pack boxes for $100 - that crazy! My 10 year old is not going to spend $1OO on soccer stickers at one go. What gives?

New article with Jill Stockwell using data collected with ICRC, to show that the issue of missing persons goes far beyond families and has significant social and political implications, here framed in terms of peacebuilding. https://t.co/XSifZKsJSw

@charltonnews Really important reality chcek for all the critics of Nathan Jones - by any measure he has done a great job since coming up to the Championship.

[Simon Robins @pieman_simon]

Really alarming news about the Colibri Center, a non-profit that had been leading efforts to identify the bodies of migrants found in the US near the Mexican border. Huge ethical issues arising as their DNA database appears to have disappeared. https://t.co/02qCBUgDI5

A piece of research I have done with my ICRC colleagues on families of the missing as peacebuilders.

[ICRC Law & Policy Outreach @ICRC_LawPolicy]

🕊️ When wars divide, families of the missing often become peacebuilders.

Their search for truth turns grief into connection and loss into a force for reconciliation, showing how memory itself can build peace.
