#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

I have been seeing a lot of posts in my TL lately saying that negative behavior in the classroom is always a sign of learning struggle or that the student needs more support. While I agree that's true a lot of the time, it isn't true all of the time. /1
Some students act out due to boredom. They don't need more support, and they aren't struggling: they're bored. Just ask them, and they'll tell you. These tend to be active learners, kids with engineer minds, kids who see the big picture quickly. Give them more to do. /2
Some students act out because they know they're safe with us to do so. It's like how kids are worst at home because they're safe to act that way and still be loved. That can happen in the classroom, too. It takes solid conversation with that kid to find out why it's happening. /3

🔹

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"

Some comments from the perspective of EUParl, a veto player able to block any Withdrawel Agreement and FTA in the negotiations, on EU-UK migration matters. /1
The role of EUParl is generally underappreciated in UK media. The focus is rather on Commission and Council (esp. FR & GER). This is justified to some extend hence it covers a wide range of key actors and institutions. However, it ignores that EUParl plays a significant role. /2
This is, interestingly, recognised by EU institutions & actors. They're open w/ them about the negotiations and there is an exchange of information which is crucial since the EUParl's an autonomous veto power who could blow up any agreement if their interests aren't addressed. /3

Going to the UK or US?

These are 10 things to note when applying for a high-stakes visa as a Nigerian. That would be a visa to the UK, US, etc. The decision to issue a visa is up to the immigration officer but these are first - hand tips to improve your chances.

A Thread.
Nigeria is not the country with the highest US visa refusal rate. Shocking, right? Cuba has an 82% refusal rate (2016) while Nigeria has a 32% refusal rate (2015). So what are the 68% of Nigerian applicants who got visas doing right?

Let's see 10 things...
1a. Make sure you have a legitimate reason to travel.

Sounds like a no brainer but some people stroll into the embassy with fraudulent travel reasons. Make sure you have a school admission, legit tourism plan, family event / visit, conference, etc.

This will be an ongoing thread of tips and things to expect if you'll be receiving this surgery!!
1. Don't skimp on your pain meds. They take a little bit to kick in anyways, so if you might be in pain in half an hour, take something.
2. Re: getting out of bed, you may have to engage a lot of muscle groups you're not used to. Relaxing the legs/buttocks is crucial.
