@pavyg Totally agree. Very disrespectful to the players and fans. As a fan I was looking for this match. I ended watching until 2 am. Then I couldn’t continue. Was tok tired and need to work early.

What a racist post!! Suggesting that race is what is important here.
Why not post something with value, for example Tiafoe family is the definition of an American dream. The parents immigrated legally from Sierra Leone, escaping the brutal civil war. The father worked as a maintenance of an a elite tennis academy and eventually Tiafoe was allowed to play there. A russian elite coach Kouznetsov, took Tiafoe under his wing and the reat is history.
Or Shelton; the history of family of athletes. His close relationship with his family. His father a former profesional tennis player and college coach. And how he guided his son to become one of the best tennis athletes.

Los GS y los master 1000 generan interés y dinero. Yo no haría muchos cambios. Los 5 sets son parte de la esencia de los GS.
Quizas, punto de oro despues de 2 deuce. Permitir más participación del público (sí permitir bulla y aficionados como en un partido de basket). Permitir más libertad de expresión a los jugadores.

El cambio fuerte debe ser en los partidos de mucho menor nivel. Esos no generan mucho público ni fuente de ingresos para los organizadores ni para los jugadores. La gente no sigue a los jugadores debajo del top 100 o top 50. Los jugadores elites entre el top 100 para a abajo que son buenísimos están comiéndose un cable.
Creo que debemos tomar lecciones en otros deportes y en nuestro propio; La copa Davis generaba una pasión por el público y los jugadores cuando se jugaba en casa o en el país contrincante. El tenis pudiese jugarse por equipos. Equipos que representan una ciudad, o región. Asi crearía fans que siguen su ciudad y por tanto conocerían y seguirían a sus jugadores. Así como sucede con los equipos de fútbol, basket, o en deportes individuales como fórmula uno o ciclismo que siguen un formato de equipo.
Un formato de equipo le daria una nueva vida al juego de dobles. Permitiría a jugadores que estén comenzando buscar contratos con equipos y ahorrar costos. Etc

An important part of the message is left out. He praising the god Ahuramazda. Who made him king and his father king. Then he said his father made the niche and that he finished it.
But the niche is the message. Is made in the fortress of what was the capital of the Urartu Kingdom. A rival kingdom conquered by Darius. It is visible announcement that the Achaemenid empire conquered the rival Urartu Kingdom and provide the divine justification to do it. Xerxes is also saying that he finished what his father started.

The vaccine protection against acquiring the disease was very modest at best. The protection that the vaccine could provided was in the severity. However the vaccine did not protect others, a vaccinated infected person will shed the virus and infect others. At the start of the vaccination campaign misleading information about herd immunity was provided to convince healthy people to vaccinate. However the data from the vaccine manufacturer and health organizations worldwide is very strong showing that the vaccine do not prevent the spread of the virus.
For that reason vaccination against covid in people with very low risk stop being justified (Children, young adults healthy adults without preexisting conditions).
It becomes a personal selfish decision that only affected you because your vaccination status did not reduced the infection to others.
Is important to know that viruses that cause severe lethality tend to become mild when they propagated to larger populations. Dead people mean that that particular virus will not have a host to spread as efficient as a virus that cause a mild disease. So the early lethality that we saw at the start of the pandemic, was partially stoped because of changes of the virus itself or due to the status of vaccination of the population. The Africa Covid-19 paradox, suggest that the main effect was because the virus itself. The continent has the lowest vaccination rate in the world, however it did not experience more severe mortality compared to the areas of the world with high vaccination rates. However a definitive answer is lacking because is just a correlation; the continent is younger, and older unvaccinated people has a higher probability of dying with than older not vaccinated people.

In summary, for a young athlete like Djokovic did not make any sense to vaccinate. Moreover he has celiac disease, so that mean that he has a potential highly reactive immunity against gluten. And at the moment of Covid vaccination he did not know how the vaccine could affect people like him. Specially with less data with athletes. He also did not know how covid will affect people like him. But we know that athletes with celiac disease have lower antibody response with hepatitis B vaccine.
He took a personal decision. At the time he went to the Australia open and prevented to entering the country he already was exposed to covid. He already have his own immunity expose to covid and had antibody against it.
That was the basis of why he was initially granted a permission to play in Australia. He traveled to Australia with that exception that allowed him to play. But because of political backfire the Australian government remove the permission, jail him in a room, humiliated him and deport him. He was ridiculed and criticized as a person that did not care about others. That he was irresponsible and reckless traveling to Australia without any permission.
Not only he was right about not needing the vaccine. But even if he was not right, the decision to allowing him to play and enter and later to revoke the permission was made by the Australian government. Time prove him right and is an example of a persons with strong values that remained consistent in his belief, morals and actions.

@ivanfamil Muy buena historia. Escucho a Miles desde los 90s. Esa era una de mis canciones favoritas para escuchar en el carro tarde en la noche cuando regresaba a casa.
No sabía la historia detrás. Interesante !!

South and central America entirely is a western civilization. From all perspectives.
They have a Native American past the same as the people from Denmark has a Vikings past.
But from law, religion, education, politics, philosophy etc they follow the western world.
From a political economic perspective, most countries after their independence followed the USA example, with few exceptions like Cuba that followed a socialist culture. But even that is a result of western culture. (Following Marx (Germany) and Engels (English))
Maybe you discard them from the point of view of race? They are made up of mix population mostly integrated into the Spanish/portuguese culture.

Hepatitis B vaccine protection will last most of your life. Hepatitis B cause a serious chronic disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Cirrhosis and cancer. Those kids, will become adults, start having sex with different partners, some might become drug addicts, and some might need blood transfusions. The risk of contracting the disease will be higher. Without vaccine protection the cases will increase and might become a burden for the taxpayer and family members. When the vaccine was initially introduced it was only for high risk kids. But the incidence of the disease was not reduced. The disease incidence was only reduced when the vaccine was introduced universally. People did not admit having high risk behaviors, and prenatal screening was not sensitive in identifying mom with th disease. 90% of infants infected at birth developed the chronic disease.

The Spanish is horrible in the serie. Most of the time done with broken grammar. Some times you have the strong English accent. Other time you have a Spanish accent but from another place like miami cuban. Is like hearing a person with a string British accent pretending to be an American person that should have a south redneck accent.

[Vladicc @Vladicc2]

@drkeithsiau Why ridiculous? With a massive bleeding like that you are dead in a couple of minutes. In this situation you must stop the bleeding while screaming for help.

[Vladicc @Vladicc2]

@drkeithsiau second, third degree burns of any large part of your body.

[Vladicc @Vladicc2]

@albertoortegana Hidradenitis suppurativa, plus the patient seems to have gynecomastia and stretch marks. So he might have Cushing that is associated with Hidradenitis.

And then what? Barbecue was initially a police captain. How you avoid another bbq? Haitians outside Haiti will blame others, the USA, France, dom rep etc… Haitians will said bbq was there because of the influence of other countries and people from other races. They will play victim card instead of doing anything meaningful for their country.
The leader of the Haitian Revolution Toussaint Louverture was accused of betrayal because of his willingness of making alliances with nations like USA and Britain. Dessalines a founding father took power, become an emperor and was killed by former allies. His body was desecrated and eaten by a mob. No much has change since.

When Haitians will acept their own responsibilities in the demise of their country? Bbq was mean to be a policeman. But he took power as a gang leader bc there is a vacuum of institutional power. To avoid another bbq; Haitians need to believe that they can create a new country from scratch! Not from the distance in safe countries like USA, France and Dom Rep, but from with in. Fill the power vacuum with strong police, organization, and justice. And then let market flourish.

The island was part of Spain and the viceroyalty of Rio de la plata. They’re had Spanish official in the island and a small garrison. The viceroyalty of rio de la plata become independent and become Argentina. The small garrison and town reported to the the new country. The islands were important at the time for those hunting seals. The governor of the island seized American sealing vessels for violating regulations in seal hunting. An USA warship attack and destroyed the port and the garrison in the island as a retaliation. Then they left and informed about its destruction to the English navy. The English realizing that the remote garrison was destroyed invaded. The island governor was in Argentina in the moment. Some of the few local people “gaucho” revolted against the British occupation and their leader Antonio Rivero was defeated and taken prisoner to England. But the British court refused to take his case because the courts admitted that they didn’t have jurisdiction because the islands were not British.

What a joke of tv influencer. Trying to get views!

He should be more informed. I doubt that he really understand people from Venezuela.
In Hispanic America people joke between each other. I am from Dominican Republic and we sometimes make the typical joke that Argentinians are arrogant. Special about people from Buenos Aires. But that’s it, a joke. Not hate, no insults!
And the joke has a historical reason. In the early 1900s Argentina was a richer and a prosperous nation. Unfortunately for them a series of military and populist dictatorships, and leftist government took power.

But Argentina is full of great, hard working, and nice people.

@RAMIROMARRA Me gusta argentina, pero en este caso fue un encontronazo fuerte. Pero no es penal.
El arquero toca la pelota primero, fue un salto a la pelota. Está obligado a defender su territorio.

[Vladicc @Vladicc2]

@AutismCapital Penalty shootouts are fun. In a lot of boring 0-0 games they should skip the 120 minutes and do it a the start of the game instead!!!

[Vladicc @Vladicc2]

@el_stefano136 @BrotherRasheed The disallowed goal started with a foul. It was the right call.

The Egyptian coach does not want to accept his responsibility in allowing 3 goals in the last 15 minutes of the game, or he and his team were in the payroll of FIFA?

[Vladicc @Vladicc2]

@EvilBudgie @TheNorfolkLion Mexico offered to the referee some “tacos de carnitas” and “al pastor” and Argentina some “asado” and “empanadas”.
England? Tea, biscuits, and black pudín!
Then wonder why the referee are bias !
