I wonder if the ratio you mention applies, more or less, to Iranian-Brits. Do you have any sense of that? My casual observation is that the position in the UK is quite different to what we've seen in the US.

Raya picked up this trait at Brentfotd and it seems the goal keeping coaches at Arsenal have been comfortable with it as seen in his positioning match after match.

Also, I am yet to encounter a Brexiteer here. Common in the other place.

It is often said that denial of a crime is worse than the crime itself. The IDF moved heaven and earth to deny this atrocity, and for as long as it could.

Saka managed to use a paneka in the end and score.

Konsa played for Brentford FC whilst they were in the Championship. Tonight he scored in the Champions League.

Over the years I have read a library's worth of papers and books on different aspects of game theory but not Schelling's The Strategy of Conflict. I am putting that right today.

It is impossible for ALL to have a trade surplus. The US's economic/financial infrastructure, not to mention its manufacturing set up, does not permit it to have a surplus with the rest of the world any time soon. The sooner he gets this, the sooner will we start to reverse the mess he has started.

I wonder if @elliel.bsky.social or @markeccleston.bsky.social can help you?

Yes, must be.
My publisher has 4 as the default # of referees that can be approached initially. But many decline, so I often end up approaching close to double digits before I get at least 2 decent reports to share.
Many seem to see reviewing as a wholly thankless task.

The standard # of reports I always ask for in the first round is 4. On rare occasions all 4 prospective reviewers accept review invitations and if they all make sense to me I share these for comment/action by authors.

I wonder when the White House does its (weekly) grocery shopping it feels as though it has a trade deficit with the grocer supplying it with produce. It is in the nature of trade to engage in exchange, that is why money is referred to as a medium of exchange.
