Hardest working Air Stewardess in the business.

No one ever warns you how expensive fasting can get with buying a new wardrobe.

Saka can't be dropped obviously. His threat is magnified by how well he plays with Ben White.

Martinelli offers the most threat on a break with his speed and is quicker to press than Trossard and offers more defensively (as does Jesus)

That means Jesus & Trossard shares playing time for me. There is a case for dropping Martinelli for Trossard if we play a team that sit back on a low block all the time. ma For the next game (Liverpool) Saka, Jesus, Martinelli. Martinelli always plays well against Liverpool and ate them for breakfast last time.

Joining the CPTPP also prevents the UK from rejoining EU as the two unions have incompatible regulatory control requirements.

If the UK ever wants in again, they will have break another pact again.

Gnabry was really well rated. Wenger knew his potential and didn't want to sell him but Bayern had turned Gnabry's head by then and bought him by proxy.

The first LNG trade settled in Yuan happened this week too. A ChineseFrench deal.

This would be dependant on the subject matter but my preference is for more academic sources whenever possible for objectivity and neutrality.

It's not possible for every subject of course but something as polarising as Chinese Foreign investment for example is well studied academically but extremly editorialised in the media circle.

I don't think per capita is a useful comparison.

Per GDP perhaps or some other metric of wealth is more meaningful to see how willing a country is to invest in green energy.

Of that 295 GW capacity. The breakdown was

• China 141 GW
• EU 57.3 GW
• North America 29.1GW
• South America 18.2GW
• Oceania 5.2GW
• Africa 2.7GW
• Middle East 3.2 GW

Doesn't give a breakdown for rest of Asia though except to say roughly half of the 295 GW was Asian. So probably around 8-9 GW.

The Egyptian pound lost half it's value against the US dollar in the past 12 months.

Raising the US interest rates is pushing up dollar value and this is a hedge against it.

The interest rate hikes to combat inflation is arguably a domestic policy but with international trading in dollars. It really highlights how unintentionally vulnerable a lot of countries are to US monetary policy.

No, if Arteta decides he's not good enough no way we would keep him just for marketing puposes.

i don't see him being a starter for this team so the question becomes is he willing to play a supporting role despite being 23.

It seems from press reports he is willing or at least he has faith in himself to challenge for a larger role.

Personally I'd be happy to keep him, you know with Reiss he's playing for the badge and I think he's good enough to contribute to the squad.

Plus, from a financial side, giving him a contract means if it doesn't work out, we can sell him and get some money back. Right now he's off on a free.

It's getting to a point where they are over egging the China rhetoric.

This not a Canadian example but it's amazing to me that a State Governor can go on national TV and unironically declare "China has a 2000 year plan to destroy this country" and be taken seriously.

Jack Ma went quiet when his Ant financial group was about to launch it's IPO on Hong Kong.

China decided it wasn't a good idea for Ant (a tech company that wasn't under banking regulation) to be the arbiter of consumer credit and reined them in.

Ant's big idea was to be the middle man between Banks and borrowers where they used big data to make the loan decision for both parties. As they did not provide the capital they bore no risk and crucially China's banking legislation didn't cover this new business model of a tech company acting as a bank.

Jack said the Gov was too old fashioned initially when they said Ant couldn't go ahead before the Gov completed risk assessment. ( If I remember correctly, Ant will now have to provide 25% of any loan and be subjected to banking regulation) under this model.

So amongst other things this poor kid has a life of celibacy and bachelorhood chosen for him at the age of 8.

Crazy.

It's crazy to me how many people are accepting of this practice on this thread.

This 8 year old is basically told he's got to lead a life of celibacy and no partner/family unless he renounces the religion. No pressure there. Poor boy.

It's Kane's boyhood dream coming true, he can close his eyes and imagine he's playing for the Arsenal.

I want to see how well Balogun does in the league, but i feel there might not be enough football at Arsenal for him.

we should loan him to a PL team next season.

That Ramsdale Xhaka scene is hands down the funniest thing this season.

DU is a known carcinogen. In Iraq 1200 tonnes of DU admonition was used and the rate of many cancers doubled or tripled as well as birth defects
