🔗 Doctors Without Borders urgent update on #Gaza to UN Security Council

-

Christopher Lock, the organization's representative, discusses the ongoing crisis in Gaza, where over one million people are trapped and living in fear of a ground invasion.

He shares a personal account of a recent attack on an MSF-marked building housing MSF staff and their families, resulting in fatalities and injuries. The speaker condemns the pattern of attacks against humanitarian workers and infrastructure, such as hospitals, which is either intentional or indicative of reckless incompetence.

The situation in Gaza has led to the systematic destruction of a health system that Doctors Without Borders have supported for decades. The humanitarian response is inadequate, with limited space, medicine, food, water, and safety available.

Lock urges the UN Security Council to take effective action to address the conflict in Gaza, adopt a …

🔗 ‘Introducing Jacques Lacan’: 1. ‘In his Historical Context’

-

Jacques Lacan was one of the most important psychoanalysts ever to have lived. Building upon the work of Sigmund Freud, he sought to refine Freudian insights with the use of linguistics, arguing that “the structure of unconscious is like a language”.

A €2000 e-bike that offers 'next-generation' technology. Apart from the e-bike technology with a 60-150km battery range and the sleek design where the battery is embedded inside the frame, it offers hydraulic disc brakes, GPS, smartphone app, anti-theft technology and an electronic gear shifter.

All of the above is incredibly impressive but stands against the '[[Just Ride|https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0074QGFES/]]' philosophy and the spirit of bikes that they are essentially simple machines that are accessible and easy to fix. Close up photos show proprietary screws, you can't service these bikes at your local bike shop. These bikes are more of descendant of the motorbike or a Segway.

It is ironic that the brand gained some marketing after their ad was banned in France. The [[ad …
