I am glad to see acceptance of Covid as just anoth I am glad to see acceptance of Covid as just another virus and the movement towards a balanced and sensible approach being discussed as the way forward. “Whitty said the majority of experts believed Covid was not going to go away and it would eventually have to be managed in a similar manner to flu. In a bad year, flu can kill 20,000 to 25,000 people. “It is not flu, it is a completely different disease, but the point I am making is, here is a seasonal, very dangerous disease that kills thousands of people every year and society has chosen a particular way around it,” he said.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/01/chris-whitty-society-will-have-to-learn-to-live-with-covid-in-similar-way-to-flu
“There is a saying in the taijiquan community, “Practice the form as if confronting an opponent.” The import of this expression is that you should practice the solo form with the intention of employing each and every posture in either defending yourself from attack or counter-attacking. In order to practice the solo form in this manner, it is obviously necessary to familiarize yourself with the martial applications of the various postures included in the form.” — The Principles and Practice of Taijiquan: Volume One - The Solo Form by Andrew Townsend

OpenUK's response to Richard Stallman being reappo OpenUK's response to Richard Stallman being reappointed to the @fsf Board #opensource Statement: This week’s announcement from the FSF is disappointing. OpenUK puts Belonging at the heart of its activities. We ask our leadership and participants to abide by a code of respect and to lead by example, with integrity. We constantly seek to learn and improve. Respect is like open source. In the way code is either open source or not, you are either respectful to everyone, or you are not. We ask organisations in Open to evidence equality as being fundamental in their activities. We deserve better leadership. https://openuk.uk/openuk-response-to-richard-stallmans-reinstatement-to-fsf-board/
