Folks, we've posted almost every presentation from @BloombergNEF's #bnefsummit. Here's a thread with our CEO Jon Moore's talk to open the event: 1/
2/ The theme of the talk - "The Power of Perspective" - examines energy technology and transport through the lenses of our four global events in New York, London, Shanghai and Palo Alto (those are @Suzlon wind turbine blades by the way)
3/ The lens on Europe: here's what happens in a mature power system with lots of wind and solar, generation in excess of demand, and competitive wholesale power pricing...you get _very_ negative prices .

The road has over the last decade become emblamatic of many things wrong with Naija. 2 failed concessions (2009, Jan 2015), a history of budgetary cuts,etc

Good news is that all of that now history, Road now been transferred to PIDF, a $650m Fund managed by @nsia_nigeria #Thread
PIDF took over three (3) critical road projects, to ensure they’re taken out of unpredictable budget cycles and to guarantee funding for them until completion: Second Niger Bridge, Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Road and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. So, funding now guaranteed.
PS. Scope of work on the Expressway has recently been expanded, which probably also means a pushback of whatever completion date previously announced. For example the Lagos-Shagamu section is getting 2 new underpasses, 3 new FlyOvers, 2 Toll Plazas, and 10 new Pedestrian Bridges.

Be very careful about what you read about #AhvazAttack.
There are many fake news, unconfirmed reports, fabricated photos and photos taken for propaganda use.
For example @bbcpersian journalist @BahmanKalbasi claims a group has taken responsibility when it is not true.1/8
.@guardian journalist @SaeedKD mislead public opinion by writing 'children' were killed by 'terrorists'. And when you read his piece you only see there was one child and not children. But what the headline of the article suggests is very different to its context.2/8
Director of Iran project at @CrisisGroup, @AliVaez jumps in to protect Iranian regime and asks US officials to condemn the attack. However, he has never asked US officials before to condemn Iranian regime for arresting, raping, torturing and executing political prisoners.3/8

#Thread #KeralaFloods Detailed thread to document the historic efforts of various online groups in rescue and relief operations. Trust me, Whatsapp and Google sheets were the powerful weapons we had. Pic: An online control room set by NRKs in house at Abu Dhabi (1/n)
It was the time we truly realised the power of social media and instant messaging services with regard to disaster management. Many were stranded on roof-tops without any other contact to the world other than their mobile phones. Whatsapp brilliantly solved the issue. (2/n)
Before going in detail let me point out the problem statements. 1) Govt issued some helpline numbers but most of them were busy with numerous calls 2) Thousands of SOS requests flooded in social media which were not addressed in a systematic manner, hence turned spams (3/n)

#Thread on #NPAs. Stay with me.

RBI revealed this in an RTI: At the end of March 2018, a record high 7,990 borrowers of above Rs 5 crore had not repaid a whopping Rs 3.71 lakh crore to banks for 1-30 days after due date. That is a four-year high record of early defaulters! 1/n
2/n. These early defaults rose by a record 281.9 per cent over December 2017 when they stood at only Rs 972 billion . On a year-on-year basis, the rise is almost 228 per cent - the highest growth of early stage overdue repayments in 4 years.
3/n. More than 5,000 of these 7,990 were new and unique early defaulters of loans above Rs 5 crore. What does this number tell us? We have been told that all bad loans are of UPA era. This number tells us that Modi govt might be brewing its own banking crisis as well.

#thread My first exposure to planning came in my junior year of high school. I had discovered my passion for history and had worked for six years in local governance (prosecutor's office, community food co-op). #SoJustSuburbs /1
Learning urban design in a suburban context led me to ask questions about the limitations of traditional planning education. #SoJustSuburbs #SaturdaySchool /2
At the heart of these questions, I focused on the life of William Harris, a farmer worker with intellectual disabilities who worked on central NJ plantations, 1932-1961. The "rural" was rarely a factor in planning conversations. #SoJustSuburbs #SaturdaySchool /3

Cow is 'Mata' for RSS/BJP & other Hindutva affiliates - we ask for votes in its name, lynch people & even demand a "Rashtra Mata" status for it. But for the sake of elections, we may forget our Mata.

This #thread intends to share such instances of our political tactics!
1) "BJP has no Plan to Ban Beef in Goa" says Amit Shah

2) BJP candidate for Kerala Lok Sabha bypoll promises quality beef if elected!
