Al-Saif Al-Ajrab. Arab bodyguards have a really bad habit of using low grade steroids to bulk up. When I left Libya one of my bodyguards asked to bring horse steroids. It also shrinks their balls to the size of raisins. alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2…

Young Salman's control over an aggressive internal security force allowed him to take power, crush internal dissident, garner support of the Wahabists and forge links with other aggressive cultures to go after Iran and Qatar. #DictatorFoLife
Does Salman's shaping of our foreign policy with #12.5B in defense orders while others cancel orders because of the slaughter in Yemen make us the Krupps of the Middle East? blog.politics.ox.ac.uk/saudi-arabias-…

A overview on the use of mercenaries by Russia in their hybrid warfare program. Most researchers fail to track the money trail, do not understand the actual role of "mentors" in training local forces and forget that the "merc" aspect is just one part.. offiziere.ch/?p=34979
Russian investigators understand the impact of Putin providing a broad spectrum of political, financial, technical, legal, logistic, military and strategic services on an illegal or proxy basis. Putin tends to shoot those people or they fall off balconies. khodorkovsky.com/murder-journal…
Putin's funding of Prigozhin by allowing rigged bids to Russian military bases and then having Prigozhin use the excess to fund these small units to advance Russian interests is an excellent study model for Iran Contra style Erik Prince Afghan Plans or KSA/UAE hired Muslim mercs.

@LouiseBagshawe @Imwastntym @TheF0RCE @OldGrunt0351 Correct. But the attempt to mislead the FBI into reopening the Clinton investigation in a "November Surprise" is the heart of the election deceit. That's where the criminals are.
@LouiseBagshawe @Imwastntym @TheF0RCE @OldGrunt0351 Granite Intelligence is who Weiner handed his laptop and devices to after he was tipped off. Three days later Weiner's devices were subpoenaed. In late Oct, Rudy, Lara Trump and others began to snicker about a October Surprise. Then Prince spiked it in November 4th on Breitbart.
@LouiseBagshawe @Imwastntym @TheF0RCE @OldGrunt0351 "It took three weeks for the New York office to tell Comey what they had found. Comey did not learn of the laptop until 5:30 on morning of October 27, less than two weeks before the election."

It was almost Christmas and Murrayfield was teeming with members of the Scotland team as they got ready for their annual Christmas trip to Paris. The whole of Murrayfield was in chaos as everyone packed for the big trip...
“Greeg did you buy me an adapter for my razor?” asked Toony
“The shop has sold out. You’ll have to just grow what’s left of your hair out” replied his captain.
Two of the younger members of the team, Finn Russell and Adam Hastings, known to the rest as “Rustings” walked up to Greeg.
“Uncle Nel won’t let us watch the movie and all the big lads are watching”
“Well if Uncle Nel won’t let you watch it must be really bad” said Greeg

1/ With so much focus on AI, ML, Data driven PM, I think the real skill lies in finding the real question that you want to answer. There will be tons of metrics, but what is your one true NSM?
An incident about Airbnb's early days from @SeanEllis's Hacking Growth:
2/ As in my earlier post, to clarify how dedication to improving a North Star metric helps to make difficult decisions, let’s look at how the Airbnb founders decided to conduct an experiment solely based on their North Star.
3/ To their surprise, they discovered that New York City although being touristy, was underachieving.

#Libya While all eyes were focusing on Tripoli over the past two weeks due to militia clashes, ceasefires and yesterday's terrorist attack on the NOC, the LNA was tacitly preparing for a military escalation in central and south-western Libya, with immense potential ramifications
The instability in Tripoli served Haftar in several ways: 1) By highlighting the weakness of Serraj's GNA/PC and compounding shortages in water & electricity etc. the instability in Tripoli eroded what little popular support remained for a GNA/PC leadership despised by Haftar
2) The attack on Tripoli started by the Kani Brigade created a new push for political and fiscal reforms of the GNA similar to those Haftar demanded after the oil terminal stand-off ended in July but which since then lost momentum in August as the GNA and the Central Bank stalled

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."
