I have a variety of blues, greens and purples and I’m getting into browns. Will post pic of my new pen from the better lighting at home. It is a true joy to lose myself in conversation with the wonderful staff about new colours, pens, nibs...joy.

#Egypt is hosting an Africa human rights session beginning April 24, 2019, while its government is presiding over the worst human rights crisis in the country in recent decades, 15 African, Egyptian, and international organizations said today. hrw.org/news/2019/04/2…
“#Egypt is trying to appear like a country open for human rights delegates and sessions while, at the same time, crushing all dissenting voices and its once-vibrant human rights community,”
“In recent years, the #Egyptian authorities have relentlessly cracked down on nongovernmental organizations, issued the 2017 draconian law that effectively bans all independent work by nongovernmental groups, and prosecuted scores of staff workers of Egyptian organizations.”

.@hrw: the constitutional amendments were "a shameless attempt to entrench the military's power over civilian rule, and the referendum took place in such an unfree and unfair environment that its results can have no pretence to legitimacy". google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.… #Egypt
Opposition figures alleged that the government had denied #Egyptians freedom to express peacefully opposition to the changes before the vote and that it had used public money to distribute electoral bribes.
There were reports during the referendum that some people were offered free rides to their local polling stations or given food parcels once they’d voted. An activist was arrested for holding up a banner saying "No to the constitutional amendments" #Egypt

Also, some light reading 😉 #Anarchist
“Certainly, anarchists have frequently defined themselves first on the basis of what they reject -the state, capitalism, inequality, patriarchal society, war, militarism, repression in all its forms, authority- rather than on what they have defined as an alternative” Carlos Taibo

The exchange game is a brutal one. None of the #crypto exchanges I "grew up" with are even in the top 10 anymore, few are in the top 25. coinmarketcap.com/rankings/excha…
For example, @bittrex #28, @Poloniex #38 -- never used Bitfinex or that would've been my top 10-er.
As people pointed out in the comments, wash trading has always been a problem in #crypto.

The "Blockchain Transparency Institute" developed a new system "to provide better transparency for the crypto sphere on true exchange volumes." blockchaintransparency.org/reports (h/t @MGilm0re)

Home
no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

3: Flexibility for Pillar 1 to 2 transfers
4. Fund ANCs under Pillar 1

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
