The fact that Austin isn’t constantly in the news is a great failing of our industry, that we would forget one of our own. We must not stop trying to #FreeAustinTice
In less than a year Austin will have been in captivity for as long as my father was. People still tell me they prayed for my dad every day he was gone. Please spare a prayer for Austin and his family. There are no words for the torment they are experiencing. #FreeAustinTice
One thing that gave my family the strength to get through my dad’s captivity was the overwhelming love and support we received from the public. There was constant pressure on our government to free him. Austin is an American citizen. We should do the same for him. #FreeAustinTice

It's worth pointing out that three of the men who have the power to seriously impact stability in the Middle East, Trump, Netanyahu and MbS, are all facing crises that threaten their hold on power and could seriously affect their decision-making in the region.
Thank god there’s no country in which all these players have a stake that is vulnerable both politically and geographically and has historically been a convenient battleground for powerful nations to take swings at each other, or I’d be worried.
And thank God that country isn’t wildly sectarian, hasn’t been teetering on the brink of catastrophic regional war for years and isn’t controlled by a nonstate military actor with very little accountability and definitely doesn’t start with an L and end in ebanon

No one knows for sure if Khashoggi is dead and Friedman revealed him as an anonymous source who provided quotes critical of the Saudi government with no concern for Khashoggi’s friends and family who could be targeted in retaliation. Unbelievably careless. nytimes.com/2018/10/08/opi…
Nowhere in this Tom Friedman piece will you find an apology for or retraction of that saccharine “Saudi Arab Spring” column. In fact, this reads more like a long justification of that column than a plea on behalf of his dead or kidnapped friend. What NYT editor let this through?
If Khashoggi is still alive, do you think he really wouldn’t mind being revealed as Thomas Friedman’s anonymous source for quotes critical of the Saudi regime? Perhaps not, but his torturers probably will.

@SusanSarandon @ejbeals @jimmy_dore Ms. Sarandon, I don’t doubt you mean well. But you need to listen to people who’ve been reporting on this war since it started and have seen these things with their own eyes, not propagandists with an agenda. Our friends died there, not yours. Please have some respect for them.
@SusanSarandon @ejbeals @jimmy_dore The people you’re promoting constantly attack and harass journalists risking their lives to report on Syria, just like James Foley did. Most of us are freelancers like him. Some physically endanger me by calling me a liar and a spy and reporting me to Hezbollah for my work.
@SusanSarandon @ejbeals @jimmy_dore Most of us who report on this war from the ground are no fans of U.S. policy in Syria. But if you believe the corporate American media has an agenda in Syria, you must see that media directed by Russia and the regime has its own agenda, and that includes obscuring war crimes.

I want to tell you guys a story about how it all started #10YearsALearner #10YALpodcast
In 2008, I worked as a PR and marketing executive at an event and image consulting company in VI and I was treated well. But I wanted more. I wanted a bigger challenge so I told Kely dear friend and inspiration @iamtheOsagie #10YearsALearner #10YAL
@iamtheOsagie 2 weeks later.. I got a call from @iamtheOsagie and that was the beginning of an adventure…

O: Hey Godwin. Are you still bored?
Me: lol… You have something for me?
O: Would you like to manage an artist?
me: Who?
O: His name is MI
me: ok… send music

🇻🇪Seems like Donald Trump is mentioning Venezuela a lot lately. Could someone possibly think that military action ("It’s a regime that, frankly, could be toppled very quickly by the military if the military decides to do that.") by the United States is appropriate right now?
💣In 2017, Trump said he was "not going to rule out a military option" in Venezuela but thanks to cooler heads—both inside the U.S. and outside—he was overruled.

businessinsider.com/trump-discussi…
🗣️Speaking at the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual convention, Trump said about #Florida Gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum:

🇻🇪"If his [DeSantis'] opponent gets elected, you'll have Venezuela—Florida will become another Venezuela, & that is not good."

~ Where Most People Mess Up With Bulking/Muscle Gain ~

👇👇👇👇
Contrary to popular belief, losing fat is honestly not that hard.

As a species, we tend to overcomplicate things.

We are scared that singular foods in isolation will cause fat gain, that we will shift into "starvation mode" (whatever tf that is), or our hormones keep us fat.
Also, there tends to be a segment of the population that absolutely can't fathom tracking or counting calories or macronutrients.

That's fine and dandy - to each their own.

I get it. If you don't want to track, you won't.

If you knew, beyond any doubt, that literally everything you put out into the Universe comes back to YOU (attitude, generosity, anger, hate, violence, patience, forgiveness, understanding, love, care, literally ANYthing & EVERYthing) would you behave differently than you do now?
Consider the FACT that you are a closed-loop, complete system in & of yourself. Literally EVERYTHING you do, eat, think, feel, say, etc., WILL manifest itself in your BODY in some way. What inputs are you feeding your body? Not just physically but mentally & emotionally as well?
Anger is a choice. Hate is a choice. Fear is a choice. Negativity is a choice. One can allow these emotions to INFORM their consciousness of a need or boundary to be addressed. Beyond that information, there is no use for these things, and they will only make you SICK, physically

#Fact 1 - The Wage Gap is real. People who says it's not haven't read the data.

However, in places like the USA, the wage gap is *not* mostly due to sexism like many #femnist #WomenInScience are claiming it is today. Disparate outcomes doesn't imply disparate treatment.
Women typically choose fields that are lower paying; even in the #STEM fields. To attribute that to sexism only or even mostly is a very dishonest way of deriving an answer for this complex disparity.

Sources:

npr.org/sections/money…
When the US Department of Labor Statistics took into consideration personal choices, non-wage benefits, hours worked, experience, education, and other variables that contributes to the wage gap the percentage of earnings decreases to approximately 3%.

So I left #postdoc, and I left #adjunct and went into #industry. There are two things I wish I knew when making this transition, and I hope it may help you...
...I didn’t know what buzzwords to put on my resume to make it reflect, in #industry terms, my skills. For #STEM academics, I’ve learned that a lot of what we do includes systems engineering, and project management...
...now this may be obvious to some of you, esp the E part of #stem, but I didn’t know this. I recommend looking up buzzwords for sys eng and project management...
