US releases F-16 upgrade technology for Turkey after Finland joins NATO

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 04/18/2023 - 08:18 in Military

The U.S. State Department approved the potential sale of technology equipment to Turkey for the upgrade of its current fleet of F-16 aircraft.

Included in the sales approval are the software updates of the Operational Flight Program (OFP) avionics with the capability of the Automatic Ground Collision Prevention System (AGCAS), while the hardware modifications would allow the integration of the Multifunctional Information Distribution System Block Upgrade II (MIDS BU II), which would be purchased separately.

The potential agreement could cost up to $259 million and was approved by the U.S. after Turkey slowed down its position on NATO, leaving aside its objections to Finland's entry into the alliance.

Turkey continues to oppose Sweden's accession to the alliance, effectively vetoing Sweden's accession, as unanimous approval is necessary for a country to participate.

“This sale proposal will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States, helping to improve Turkey’s interoperability with NATO and ensuring flight safety for existing F-16 aircraft in Turkey,” said the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

The main contractor will be Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company of Fort Worth, TX.

A larger deal, the request from NATO member Turkey to buy $20 billion in new Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters and nearly 80 modernization kits that was requested in October 2021 remains in limbo amid continued opposition in the U.S. Congress, as U.S. lawmakers are seeking assurances from Turkey on issues that go beyond NATO's Nordic expansion.

These issues include easing tensions with Greece forever, refraining from an invasion of northern Syria and enforcing sanctions against Russia.

If approved by Congress during the formal approval process, the package will be the first major military sale to Turkey approved by Congress in years.

“Turkey is a long-standing and valuable NATO allied nation,” a State Department spokesman said in a statement. “The Biden administration supports Turkey’s efforts to raise the avionics of its F-16 fleet to the standard.”

Turkey is looking to upgrade its F-16 fleet while continuing to work on its locally developed next-generation fighter program. The country was forced to launch the TF-X fighter program after the U.S. expelled it from the F-35 program because of the purchase of Russian S-400 anti-missile defense systems.

Syd has missed a lot of time due to pregnancy (which I don’t think is going to happen again anytime soon) but hasn’t been injured that much. She played 23/24 games in 2021 and was one of the top scorers in the league. And she’s only 32 and hasn’t been beating herself up playing on the national team the last few years. I don’t know where tf people are getting this narrative that she’s particularly injury prone.

exactly 👀

AGAIN??

👀 ummmmmmmmmm

So a few years ago me and my friends went to one of the museums in the city and for context this is a really fancy museum with a lot of European art and furniture going back to the 1400s (probably lol).

Just to let y’all know how fancy, this place has Rodin sculptures and a lot of rococo paintings (which is personally one of my favorite art styles) and next to a golf course

So we were taking pictures with some paintings and I wanted a pic with a rococo painting of this lady with her boobies out 👀 so I took my picture and the security guard came over and was like “if you do it again we’re gonna escort you out” and pointed out my mini backpack being too close

and we were like tf??? Because I wasn’t close at all and meanwhile there were a lot of older people (mostly white) who had huge backpacks and 14 kids running around and nobody said a word to them

Now this museum has a sister museum (which is the one I went to tonight) and literally the same thing happened over there too! Think this was mid pandemic so around late 2020/mid 2021. And we were followed from room to room and I had my mini backpack under my coat and I still got stopped while no one else did. I saw them on their walkies too it was really weird

And what’s crazy is both times (and times we’ve been since these incidents) there’s been people who’ve gotten extremely close to the art like full on leaning over the rope to breath on a 400 year old painting and not 1 peep outta security

It felt really racist ngl 😭 maybe i should’ve played national treasure and stole something idk

ToTWD 1x02: Blair/Evie - Part 4

Sixth Cycle:

In the cycle, Blair immediately tells everyone to go home and then grabs the mug and goes into the kitchen. This is what I mean about her changing. This is the first time we actually see her pick up the mug and wash it. She's being more considerate of Gina, by not leaving it on her desk. And she tells her employees to go right away, rather than hesitating. She's learning what's important, and letting go of her ego in order to figure out how to survive.

This is also where Blair and Gina family have a heart-to-heart and admit their feelings for each other and themselves. Blair was insanely angry after her father died. Gina was allowing people to use her as a doormat, etc. Blaire says they need to find something new, which ends up being working together.

So once again, this is true at all levels. TF will need to work together to beat the CRM. Beth and Daryl will need to be together in order to find happiness and help TF beat the CRM. About an individual level, Blair and Gina need to work together to balance both sides of the personality, to be able to find freedom and also be able to survive.

I don't think I really need to say much more about this cycle. It works. They survive. This is where they talk about route 85 and 29. And of course this is where they stop in the bridge and Gina pulls a 6x09 Daryl.

I’d love everyone’s insight on how to interpret this particular bridge. We generally say that falling off a bridge represents the death fake out. People thinking the character is dead, but those people not only live but also discover new communities that will help TF survive in the long run. The ultimate example of course is Tara falling off the bridge in S7 and discovering Oceanside, which helped TF against the Saviors.

In S5, Beth didn't literally fall off a bridge, we saw Daryl and Carol fell off long when they're looking for her. In a very broad, go-long sort of way, her finding Grady and the CRM will help them survive the coming war.

But in this case with Blair and Gina, no one actually fell off the bridge. They were looking over the side and it reminded me of the bridge both Tara and Carol were on during AOW. There were walkers staggering along beneath it and there was a flower drawn in chalk next to Carol. This felt similar to that, and I think it's slightly different than the symbolism of someone falling off a bridge, and I'm not entirely sure how to interpret it.

They use the gasoline to light up the walkers and save people. I've already talked about what I think that foreshadows. When it doesn’t work at first, they use Blair's pink thing. As you said, @wdway, pink = Beth. I also noticed that she says, "it's my lucky thing." So, the luck theory, which is always around Beth, is present as well.

After the truck blows up and they land in the road, Blair once again says, "do you think we’re dead?" It sort of bookends this entire cycle. Gina says, "none of this is real. Never sharing a delusion." It's interesting that it ends that way. “None of this is real” reminds me of Maggie’s line from 5x10 where she says, "none of it was really there." She was talking about Beth. I also noticed that Gina hurt her wrist. Several times she says, "ow, my wrist." It’s line one final way of saying this represents Beth.

Whew! That was a lot. I hope it made sense. But I would love to hear all of your thoughts on any part of it.

@wdway:

This was confusing and long and you’re brilliant! Thank you for explaining it. It truly helps. Emily! Wow! Did I miss it but did you talk about Leo bite? I was thinking the other day that Leo is the symbol of a lion and how Emily had that little lion on her note that had 2021 crossed out and replaced with 2022. In one of the conversations with Leo he said, two roads open, Route 122 and the Armuchee Byway. I Googled NSA. National Security Agency. You left me with a lot to think about.

@twdmusicboxmystery:

No, I didn’t say much about Leo’s bite. If he represents the CR, I’m not entirely sure how to incorporate that. Good call on his name meaning Lion!

@wdway:

I tried to find the part about coffee above and to tell you the truth it was a bit overwhelming, haha. I never really found it. I appreciate you talking about the coffee, the coffee cups and a reminder of the story from Same Boat, about the egg, the carrot and the coffee beans. I have been taking note of coffee cups for a while and I've spoken about them before but for some reason I just didn't connect them to the story and because of the story it could be a reference that a coffee cup infers strength and how the coffee beans change the water. Beth=water, water+coffee beans=Beth.

We've seen Daryl around coffee cups although we've never really seen him drinking from a cup, that I can remember. There was a cup on the table between him and Leah during their last supper. We also saw this season e10 New Haunts, Daryl with the kids and 3 cups. A black, a white with a black ring and a yellow cup. All colors connected to Beth.

A few more things about coffee and then I'll let it go. In episode 1 of Tales, Joe/Evie, we have a character name Joe, a name that is used to describe the common man and during WWII an American Soldier, GI Joe.

Another reference to Joe is a cup of joe, meaning a cup of coffee. The expression started when alcohol was outlawed on all Naval bases and coffee was the strongest drink available to a sailor and eventually became known as a cup of joe.

@galadrieljones:

@twdmusicboxmystery, I loved reading your epic notes above! I'm going to try to respond to a couple of things you asked about, and that jumped out to me, just based on your discussion.

First, your note on how, once Blair and Gina start fighting (your description of them literally rolling around on the ground made me laugh out loud), everybody around them starts fighting, too, was intriguing because it fits the definition of morphic resonance. I have been reading a lot about it and hopefully will have time to share my notes today or tomorrow.

Morphic resonance broadly refers to a shared memory or consciousness between people/members of a species/culture/etc., and it is also a new model of causality that attempts to answer the question: Why, once something happens for the first time, no matter how improbable, does it suddenly seem to happen again and again, often in rapid succession, and all at once?

The answer to why everybody starts fighting once Blair and Gina start fighting isn't so much that Blair and Gina are causing the phenomenon, but that some sort of unseen causal structure, ie: resonance, is causing everyone to start fighting around this time, and it's just that Blair and Gina happen to go first. Whatever violent tendencies are causing this outbreak are manifesting due to some shared ancestral memory or instinct. The whole concept of morphic resonance is really interesting and I have a LOT to say about how it relates to TWD.

You also had a question about Wendell and Leo. I am very intrigued by the names. I've been trying to break down the characters to their most basic archetypes to see if I can understand the intention.

Leo is a law-and-order guy with secrets, working for a government three-letter agency, but he doesn't seem to hold any power within the situation. The Department of Homeland Security, one would think, might have some knowledge on the situation; however, he's most likely a low-level field agent. Or even a desk jockey. He seems to have some intel about road closures but that's it. He's still trying to escape like everyone else.

This reminds me of Leo Bennett, who at first seems to hold a LOT of power when we're learning about him through the lens of his daughters and the Campus Colony, where he was a big fish in a small pond, but at the CRM, he's basically a mid-level scientific researcher, a lab squint. He has no intel on Project V and is being actively deceived by his girlfriend. In some ways, he's even just a pawn to lure Hope to Ithaca.

Meanwhile, Wendell, his son, is a scared, helpless child who, at the outset, is seen smiling through the window with his toy garbage truck, wearing glasses and completely innocent to what's going on around him. His life, however, is perpetually in danger and he holds little agency throughout the cycles. In the cycle with him in the truck, he's even sitting in the passenger seat, unable to move or think or act or do anything at all.

This did make me think about Wendell and Sarah [FTWD], how Wendell is in a wheelchair. He is far from helpless; however, Sarah has an entire episode where she is searching for him and growing more and more hopeless that he could not have survived on his own after the bombs. Wendell is a minor character, but much of his arc is about taking up agency and proving those wrong around him, taking people by surprise when it turns out he is stronger and far more capable than they think he is. Sarah and Wendell are also truck drivers and hijackers, which fits the situation in Blair/Gina as revolving around a stolen oil tanker.

Ultimately, my immediate interpretation here is that tptb want us to understand the connectivity between all of the shows, that the universe we ought to be exploring and thinking about goes beyond just the flagship, that both World Beyond and Fear have great bearing on the outcomes and explanations for "what happened and what's going on."

Leo's mysterious wrist bite is another piece of that puzzle, as it links us to Alicia's wrist bite in Fear. I wondered if, perhaps, the wrist bite was a bad omen for Leo Bennett, a sign that he's going to die. I think that it's possible, and that Hope will need to go on without him to solve Wildfire. Part of me does kind of think she might show up in the Daryl spin-off. I actually have more to say about that, as I recently rewatched and analyzed the WB coda, and I'll try to add it to my notes later.

Okay, and now JOEL. I love your notes on Joel! I have him in my notes but for a different reason. Joel is the main character's name from the zombie survival video game The Last of Us, which I have referenced before when talking about the cure theory, as it features an immune character and corrupt institutions and scientific researchers. In the game, Joel is escorting a 14yo girl name ELLIE, who becomes like his surrogate daughter. In Blair/Gina, I think it's Blair who mistakes Joel's daughter's name for EMMY, and that made me wonder if it wasn't a reference to TLOU. I totally missed the Emily reference, however, and now find the whole thing even more intriguing. Joel sneaking in and out of the "backdoor" to go see his daughter Emily could mean a lot of different things. Like that Daryl will find Beth through a "backdoor," or even more literally that Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl (a character who is a lot like Joel in TLOU, right down to the surrogate dad thing) is sneaking in and out of a "backdoor," filming with Emily. Lots of really interesting possibilities there.

Finally, I took down some notes about the bridge. I did have the bridge in my notes and wanted to see what you guys thought first. For some reason, when I think of bridges, beyond Rick's bridge, the first bridge I think about is John Dorie's bridge. John Dorie's bridge feels like a liminal space between the living and dead. When he's on the bridge, he is alive, but then he falls off the bridge, and when he emerges, he's dead.

Morgan has a similar experience on a bridge in season 4 after he's accidentally transported to Mississippi during a storm. He is going to head back to Texas, but then when he gets to the bridge, he starts thinking about Rick, and then he turns back around to continue back to Virginia. He lies to Wendell and Sarah and tells them that the bridge is out, so he can't get back. Eventually, however, he does go back to Texas to his "family," who he feels he can still save (land of the living), whereas going back to Virginia is as good as going back to a bunch of ghosts (land of the dead).

Idk really where I'm going with this. But the bridge is where Blair and Gina solve their endless causal loop and make it past 5 o'clock.

You mentioned that after the explosion, Blair once again asks if they're "dead." They could be. This whole thing could just be a meditation on what happens when we die, ie: our consciousness cycles through some elaborate problem scheme, some sort of unfinished business, until we solve it, and then our souls are able to move on. The end walking back toward Atlanta, which is essentially the land of the dead. I think we've probably talked about this before, but I feel like bridges are links between worlds. Rick has to destroy the bridge he built in order to save his people. He sacrifices his life and his achievement, and then he ends up traveling to another world. Just some thoughts, Idk if it helps at all.

I did go back to the pilot though because I thought I remembered a similar sign in the opening scene. The gas shortage is definitely a callback here. I don't think we know why there is a gas shortage, but it's interesting to me, as the very first scene of the show is of Rick trying to find gas. I think the beginning of the causal loop here with Blair and Gina is definitely trying to show us back to the beginning of it ALL, suggesting once again that everything is greatly connected in twdu.

These are obviously not the same gas stations. Rick's gas station is on Cascade Palmetto Drive and pretty far outside the city, but it's interesting that his gas station is red, and Blair/Gina's is green.

Also, Idk what the deal is but also per the issue of connectivity across the universe, the I-85 is an interesting freeway. Its southern terminus is in Montgomery, Alabama, which is where Madison Clark is from. Its northern terminus is in Richmond.

(Richmond, VA)

@twdmusicboxmystery:

I agree about the gas. Gas is what makes cars go. Obviously. So, there's a transportation thing there. And Beth was most likely left in a car. Probably one that was abandoned for lack of gas. In fact, at the beginning of 5x10, they say something about leaving the "other one" meaning the other vehicle behind because it ran out of gas. So, there's a tie there. But the name Wendel, as we established, also means traveler. And it's hard to travel in this world without gas. So yeah. It's all interesting and connected! There's also the gas station in 4a that Daryl and co go to. It says, "welcome to hell," so gas stations might be some sort of purgatory symbol. But I think there were "no gas" signs there too. I'll have to double check.

And I think you're really onto something with your interpretation of bridges. I really like that. Much like rivers or ladders, they represent doors between worlds. And I guess the idea is that the character is hovering between life and death, and it can go either way. So Rick and Tarah survived when they fell from their bridges. Madison was underneath one, filming the bird story before she disappeared. Daryl and Carol fell from one in 5x06, but survived. And that might have been more about Beth, symbolically, than them. But as you say, John Dorie didn't survive his bridge fall. Very interesting! I'll think on this more. ;D

I skimmed through indifference to watch the gas station scene. REALLY didn't look in great detail, but I actually didn't see a No Gas sign. There is a tree that has fallen onto the station, though. It’s why they had to cut through all the foliage to get in, and there are walkers inside the foliage. Including a blond female one Daryl stabs in the head. Just making some observations. All these things are symbolically significant.

@galadrieljones:

I'm so glad you checked that, as I was also wondering if there might be a "NO GAS" sign in Indifference! I have always loved that HELL sign. I like sometimes when they just put the symbolism in your face like that lol. Also feels like maybe these gas stations are being linked with some sort of afterlife or liminal space. There's no fuel, so you can't get anywhere, it's just a bunch of people sitting around, waiting to die. That's the case in both Days Gone By and Blair/Gina, and in Indifference it's just blatantly called "Hell"

Also, Blair wonders if they're "dead" after the second cycle. The gas station is the common denominator.

@twdmusicboxmystery:

After reading this with fresh eyes, I have a few more thoughts about the gas station. You said it’s just people sitting around waiting to die. That’s actually true of the situation in Indifference. Daryl and Bob have a minor disagreement about the fact that the people in the gas station killed themselves. Daryl is kind of flippant about it and Bob calls him on it. Obviously Bob has more sympathy for the dead people and thinks it’s disrespectful.

But Daryl defends his position, basically saying that they could have survived and chose to kill themselves instead. He didn’t have any respect for that, because Daryl is a survivor.

The next thing this puts me in mind of is Grady. Noah said they were trapped, to which Beth responded, “we’re not trapped.” And it was her that spurred him into his first escape attempt. He hadn’t even tried prior to that, as far as we can tell. And of course we see this theme in other ways and other arcs. Rick escaping the Claimer house. Daryl escaping the Sanctuary. More recently, Connie and Virgil escaping the Bender house, or whatever you want to call it.

So, it’s possible the gas station represents anywhere someone becomes *apparently* imprisoned. But the message is that if you’re just willing to try, to do the work and figure it out, you’re very likely to live. Those who sit around waiting or flat out refusing to try end up dying eventually.

After all, while the loop in this episode was kind of forced on them, it represented Blair and Gina trying, over and over again, to figure out how to survive it. “Trying” is a word they use a lot in the show, and usually apply it to our characters taking imperfect, messy action, but at least they’re attempting to figure it out. Daryl said this to Carol in 5x06 in the parking garage when they were trying to get to Beth. I think it was after Noah robbed them. I don’t remember the exact line, but he kind of yelled it at her. Something like, “you’re not out there. You’re here! Trying.” It’s right before he drops the bag and she sees the survivors of abuse book.

Anyway, just some things your words made me think of. And little Wendell in the sequence, often seems to walk into his own demise, even if he doesn’t do it purposely. He gets out of the car after his dad tells him to stay put. He goes and gets in the tankers. At least once, it was because his dad told him to, but other times, he did it totally, randomly, on his own. And that last time, he walked toward the walker and apparently got killed.

So, Wendell may represent the person who walks, eyes wide open, into their own deaths. It’s often done in ignorance, so it may not always be a question of morality. But in TWD world, that doesn’t matter much. The point is, this kind of person always dies.

Anyway, that’s the end of the Gina/Blair episode. Super interesting and abstract. We had fun dissecting it. :D

By • Olalekan Fagbade We have identified Terrorist financiers – FG makes revelations The Federal Government has disclosed that it has seized over N45 billion that was illegally looted from the national treasury. It further disclosed that a number of individuals and entities linked to terrorist activities have been identified and designated, with funds traced to them also confiscated. The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, made the disclosure in his opening address at the 40th Technical Commission/Plenary Meeting of the Inter-Governmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa, GIABA, held at the State House, Abuja. GIABA is a specialised institution of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, responsible for facilitating the adoption and implementation of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT) strategies in West Africa. In his presentation, the AGF, who spoke on behalf of Nigeria, said the President Bola Tinubu-led government was determined to build on successes that were recorded by past administrations in the country, especially in areas of investigation and prosecution of corruption cases. He said: “In 2022, we increased the budgets for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Independent Corrupt Practices Commission and National Drug Law Enforcement Agency by almost 95%. “We now have over 1,500 officers dedicated to investigating and prosecuting money laundering across these three agencies alone. “These sustained investment has seen increased numbers of investigations, prosecutions and convictions consistently since 2021 with 5,118 investigations, 1,509 prosecutions and almost 500 convictions secured resulting in over 45 billion naira of illicit proceeds seized. “We have also made progress in tackling the financing of terrorism and in particular, I am pleased that we have identified and designated a number of individuals and entities linked to terrorist activity and seized funds linked to them. “The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), has become a global model and achieved the outcomes envisaged by the passage of its enabling legislation in 2018 which established it as an independent, autonomous unit. “The Unit has significantly expanded the scope of financial intelligence it has access to and provides to other competent authorities. “The Unit has also put in place a number of innovative technologies including the Crime Records Information Management System (CRIMS) which has transformed our approach to intelligence sharing. “The measures I have outlined and our future ambitions are underpinned by a rigorous analysis of the money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing risks we face as a country,” the AGF stated. Stressing that there are myriad of challenges facing the West African sub-region, ranging from the threats of illicit financial flow to the existential dangers posed by terrorist groups, the AGF, said there was greater need for enhanced international collaborations. “As global risks become more complex, and technology more embedded as well as borders increasingly fragile, we must move towards a more tailored approach to responding to this new ML/TF/PF environment. “I believe that without a truly equitable and effective system for international cooperation, we are fighting the enemy with one hand tied behind our backs. “I therefore urge GIABA to effectively pursue this mandate on behalf of our member states,” he added. Meanwhile, in his opening remarks, the Director General of GIABA, Mr. Edwin Harris Jr., said the organisation would continue to offer technical support to Nigeria. However, the GIABA boss said there was need to restrict the physical movement of criminals and terrorist associates within the sub region. “In this regard, it becomes a more pressing need that the Secretariat works with member States in enhancing effectiveness compliance that will lead to more actions that create deterrence.

“Over the coming years going into the third round, the Secretariat will work with member States on Assets Recovery that includes all phases that is freezing, seizure, confiscation, management, and disposal with the ultimate goal of denying the criminal the use of the proceed of crimes. “I urge member States to create a mechanism that takes away profits from criminal activities. This mechanism should now form core part of our fight against Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing and other transnational crimes. “It becomes more imperative that the mandate of GIABA restricted to fighting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in keeping the economies of West Africa safe be visited to include other major component in keeping with emerging trends and current day realities. “I sincerely think that incorporating Asset Recovery as one of the valuable tools of deterrence in our mandate will add value to our work and serve as major deterrence to criminals whose primary aims are to contaminate our financial system for personal gains. “It is in this direction GIABA will start a critical conversation with member States and stakeholders in creating a regional sanction regime for the community that will seek to denied, block the movement of the proceed of crimes in the community and also restrict the physical movement of criminals and terrorist associates within the region. “GIABA member States implement other secondary sanctions within our financial system such as the OFAC and the EU, hence, it is now imperative that we have an ECOWAS sanction that helps curtail the movement and assist in recovery of the proceed of crimes. “GIABA will continue to work with both financial, development and technical partners to support its members,” he added. Among dignitaries at the event included the Vice-President of the Financial Action Task Force, FATF, Mr. Jeremy Weil, representative of the President of the ECOWAS Commission, Mr. Mambury Njie, as well as the Director of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, Mr. Tukur Modibbo.

Media on Sexualising Women

With social media, we all have the access and freedom to say our own pieces on digital platforms. Given the liberty to do so, users are abusing it to say things to hurt people or rather to bring them down by leaving unsolicited and rude opinions. Especially on one’s appearance, the online community one has much to talk about when it comes to this.

Let’s discuss the recent controversy that sparked on Malaysian influencer Kasih Iris Leona who was slammed on social media for the way she dresses and how people are leaving comments and making what she wears along with the fact that she shows too much skin. With this, the influencer is clearly being sexualised and objectified to a certain extent. Netizens are making nasty and inappropriate comments about Leona’s body and the way she dresses in her recent Instagram post where she is seen in a purple dress where her breasts are exposed which brought the attention of social media users.

This brings attention to how there is a surge in sexualization in the media. Sexualization defines as a term where an individual is perceived as a sexual object for their alluring physics. In the case of sexualization, women seem to be more prone to being sexualised (Blake et.al, 2018). The comments section of Leona’s post is a great exhibition of how women are being sexualised by leaving inappropriate comments on her body telling her to “wear a better bra” and more comments from men leaving sex comments. Recent research confirms that sexualisation does not only occur in the form of an image but in comments that stress physical appearance as well (Guizzo et.al, 2021). Within the comment section, we can acknowledge that men will gape at women who they find attractive disregarding them (Davis, 2018).

With that, there should be more action and initiative taken to combat this issue to protect women on social media from such disrespect to create a safe digital environment for female users.

On December 29, 2022, the Mérignac factory of Dassault Aviation delivered the Rafale B359 (F3R standard) to the Direction Générale de l'Armement (French Defense Purchasing Organization).

This event marked the resumption of Rafale's deliveries in France after a four-year hiatus.

Rafale B359 is for the French Air and Space Force. The aircraft is part of the "lock 4" request for 60 aircraft granted in 2009. According to several military programming laws, deliveries to France were interrupted for budgetary reasons. Rafale's production line was then dedicated to export orders.

Another 27 Rafales have not yet been delivered within the "tranche 4" order, plus twelve Rafales ordered by France in 2021 to compensate for the twelve aircraft sold to Greece.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Berkeley, CA

Meet Elissa: Hello! My name is Elissa Crandall. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an EMDR trained therapist. I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2017 and have been working in therapeutic settings since 2010. I received my undergraduate degree from California State University, Sacramento and my graduate degree from Naropa University.

My EMDR Therapy Specialties in Berkeley:

My experience spans across all ages including children, teens, and adults. I also work with families and specialize in:

Anxiety and OCD symptoms

Families struggling to connect and/or experiencing conflict

PTSD and complex trauma

I have a direct interest in supporting individuals recovering from relationship violence such as emotional, physical or sexual abuse by someone they know and/or love.

I am welcoming of all cultural backgrounds and am LGBTQIA+ affirming.

What drew me to this work: Much of my life, I have been pursuing the work of healing “old wounds” within my family dynamic to build stronger and healthier connections between the people I love and within myself. In my professional pursuits, it became overwhelmingly evident how many people shared this longing for purpose and belonging, yet felt trapped by the harsh consequences of trauma. I grew passionately towards supporting clients in making meaning from their circumstances, experiencing their life from a post-traumatic growth lens, and finding connection with others in their lives. My work in wilderness therapy, domestic violence shelters, therapeutic residential settings, private practice, and my own therapeutic work with EMDR validated for me the reality that healing these old wounds is possible. I am here today, to share this reality with you.

My style: Genuine, authentic, present, empathetic, curious, and optimistic.

Services I offer: I currently offer online video counseling using EMDR for residents of California.

Hey tfcon annon from before, youtube Team TFNation, saturday stream, 7:44:28 - 8:44:06 - 9:50:47

AYOO thank you very much!! And seriously thank you so much for the time stamps of all three parts

(anon is referencing THIS ask)

oh the reading was so GOOD 😭😭 rip a full season 4 I cry, ohh what we could have had. it went full circle. PLEASE 💀

spoilers under the cut!

I rly like all the references that the writers built into the episode! The eternal flame for sure (poor Op, just let him do his job the publicity and souped up looks,,leave him alone ajdjsk) and especially the little nod to mnemosurgery. morbid. but hey Megs survived and then some AHHH

I will admit. knowing far too much fanon vocabulary being used in canon—granted for ENTIRELY different functions and intentions— still had me chalking. I still need a moment cuz was very alarmed oh my fuck

Sentinel was about a stupid and awful as I expected him to be, yes I’m still in love with him. no I can’t explain myself when I don’t even know why, he looked v sexy in his suit. added beef is always appreciated in both tastes and looks and TASTES. AYOOO okay I’m done stop THROWING things at me I’m just so sad he roped poor Bee into all the publicity shit :’) Oppy was so good to him after all of that, I love how it took a reassuring little invite for Bee to perk up again AW. Genuinely disappointed Sentinel didn’t try to run w Rattletrap’s janky photoshop Megop pic. AHHH. I would have killed to have Op confirmed SPUTTERING over that nonsense my heart is throbbing pls let me imagine a senario where instead he goes ‘WAIT. HOW DID THEY FIND THAT’ Megs would have wined and dined his plucky nemesis STOP BOOING ME

ngl when Megs started tossing his goons into the power cell I wanted to DIE knowing who would come next, unless my brain literally shut off for those lines and chose not to listen to it—I don’t think Blitzwing was executed??? I have hope for my boy??? If I’m wrong pls don’t tell me lemme ride this HIGH. Rip lugnut you stupid himbo king, I worry for Strika though oh no how would she take it yikes

Jazz was such a pure soul my heart goes out to him idk how he’s such a LIGHT in the whole damn squad when he’s put up w so much. Him speaking in Prowl’s memorial service was sweet, but tone it down on the goovies and jives good god son. Jettwins? Flawless. Outstanding. All 3 lines of them. Could not have asked for better boys were they. sharing a milkshake at maccadams?? literally my heart is dying and crying that is the cutest I love those bros sm it physically hurts me

#JusticeForBeachcomber all he wanted to do was smoke weed and deliver his damn energon. No he does not get paid enough to get maimed on the job. The VA had me wheezing, my mans was so nonchalant absolutely literally getting manhandled then MURDERED 10/10 line deliveries alsjdlaskdj

Bulkhead getting a whole lot of time to shine I was so happyyyyy and ooo getting to see him reunite on the farm granted it ended piss poorly was so cool!! My boy is so valid and I’m so proud, he deserves some stickers over his battle scars

Ratchet,,hbhhhbbb snffnf :’) and Acree :’DDDD AHHHHH theyre too damn cute I need me a sweet little fic with that much needed quiet night

Absolutely fucking THRILLED to find out that Sari is likely gonna live forever seeing that she doesn’t need to sustain herself like, at all. Her upset about Burger Bot oml ajsnksw girlie can you still taste?? do you chew and spit now I’m sobbing real tears for her

Optimus has got to be my fav little journey out of the whole entire reading. He is SO tired and doesn’t like the attention or swanky vanity upgrades, please get him a vacation after Mags was like ‘you. you are my successor. why are you crying and sobbing and shaking your head no I know I literally crushed your spirit saying youre not a hero to your face but aha—‘ and then fucking dies. VACATION. STAT. Technically he gets one being stranded on Earth again. Now I need to draw an Op where it finally dawns on him that yes, YOU are the Magnus by rite of passage—and has a sleep-deprived conniption CRYING fit in his big scary clunky suit. the absolute epitome of Looks Like They Could Kill You, Is a Cinnamon Roll

Overall 12/10 the whole cast and guests absolutely crushed it. Literally couldn’t have imagined the s3 aftermath kicking off any better this was a TREAT!!!!

#SO GOOOOOOOOOD #no I do not regret staying up late to listen my heart is SOARING #transformers #asks #tf nation 2021 spoilers #tf nation 2021 #transformers animated
