Hidden in English place names is a secret code of invasion and conquest. Vikings, Romans, Saxons, and Normans all stamped their languages onto the landscape. Here's how to decode any English place name — and instantly know who conquered that spot 1,000+ years ago... 🧵

@fakehistoryhunt The powder was found to be "decayed" because it had been left too long and separated into its component chemical parts. If Guy had plunged in the torch with Parliament all ready above him, all that would have happened would have been a damp splutter.

Itz! Itz! Taylor Fritz!

Wow! Bianca Andreescu beats Naomi Osaka (the only player to give Iga a game at RG).

On this day in 1967, The Beatles released their ground-breaking album, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". "Sgt. Pepper's" changed the course of pop music forever, and is widely considered to be one of the most iconic and innovative albums. What's your favorite song?

No more dark afternoons in the winter. No more losing an hour of sleep every spring. RT if you agree that we should end the painfully inconvenient ritual of changing our clocks twice a year and make Daylight Saving Time permanent.

With a new strain of COVID on the rise, and flu season just getting started, we thought now would be a good time to consider what the pandemic has taught us about preventing the spread of potentially deadly respiratory infections.

Linsey Marr, a Virginia Tech University professor specializing in aerosol science, explains the latest study. https://t.co/u017keRcAw

1/ So appreciate @DrLaPook's continued focus on the importance of indoor air quality & @60Minutes for having @linseymarr & @j_g_allen on the show to discuss the fact that COVID-19 is an airborne infectious disease & has always been despite claims of many "authorities." GR8 job!

Does wearing a face mask help to prevent Covid? Linsey Marr, a Virginia Tech University professor specializing in aerosol science, explains what scientists have learned since the pandemic began. https://t.co/b2pv5GHI0a

“The Air We Breathe” @DrLaPook reports, tonight on 60 Minutes.

Harvard professor Joe Allen says overlooking indoor air quality was a “glaring mistake” of the pandemic. Some companies are now focusing on improving air filtration in their corporate facilities. https://t.co/1JrySiCgyL

Roughly 66% of facility managers have upgraded their MERV filters and increased their air exchange rates since March 2020, according to a survey in the U.S. and Canada. https://t.co/ou8vkP6vLV

“This is the part of the building nobody ever sees. But this determines whether or not you’re healthy or sick in the building,” says Harvard professor Joe Allen, as he points to the MERV-13 filter banks. https://t.co/3gJgdw3R5O

In 2020, a choir followed the COVID protocols at the time – washing their hands and staying feet apart from each other – but the virus still spread, resulting in two deaths. It confirmed aerosol researchers’ belief that the virus was airborne. https://t.co/PzBfrv0tQW

“The original sin of the pandemic was the failure to recognize airborne transmission,” says Harvard professor Joe Allen. He believes this lag in understanding cost tens of thousands of lives in the U.S. https://t.co/BoLUHiG27U

"The scientific and medical literature is being rewritten,” says Harvard’s Joe Allen. He says there’s been a fundamental shift in how we think about indoor air quality since the pandemic. https://t.co/LBn9XEc3aF

"If you look at the way we design and operate buildings, and I mean offices, schools, local coffee shop, we haven’t designed for health. We have bare minimum standards.,” says Harvard professor Joe Allen. https://t.co/3rhp9RXHGX
