.@FredSwaniker has an ambitious plan to unlock the talents of young Africans. I was thrilled to see him featured in the latest issue of #TIME100. b-gat.es/2Ja9R4x
By the end of the century, almost half of the young people in the world will be in sub-Saharan Africa.
A few months ago, Fred contributed a piece to my blog which outlined why educating the next generation of African leaders will be so important. b-gat.es/2DJ7u5e

@ewarren You and the other candidates are having a really interesting conversation on how to solve some of the world’s toughest problems like eliminating global poverty and avoiding a climate disaster (though those issues don’t get talked about as much as they should).
@ewarren I greatly respect your commitment to finding ways to address wealth inequality and poverty at home. While we may disagree about some of the ways to get there, we certainly agree we need a lot of smart people committed to finding the path forward.
@ewarren I’m always willing to talk about creative solutions to these problems.

When I was younger, I loved science fiction. The author I read the most was Robert Heinlein (“The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress” was a favorite).
As a teenager, I remember watching an episode of the original Star Trek where the bad guy is a shapeshifter who turns himself into a second Captain Kirk.
There’s an epic scene at the end where Spock has to figure out which one is the impostor.

1/x #Bundestagsvizepräsident - der neue AfD-Kandidat

Oh wie schön, die AfD hat ein weiteres Kaninchen aus dem Hut gezaubert. Karsten #Hilse, Polizist aus #Bautzen. Als Direktkandidat in den Bundestag eingezogen. Na da schau ich doch mal, was ich über den finde.

#NoAfD #NoNazis
2/x Oha, #Hilse schwenkt bei Gespräch über Wölfe auf Flüchtlinge um und sagt über sie: "Die große Transformation bringt Mord und Totschlag und Vergewaltigung in nie dagewesenem Ausmaß und eine Verrohung der Gesellschaft."

#NoAfD #NoNazis
3/x Mit dem Flügel um Björn #Höcke hat #Hilse auch kein Problem. Er war auf einer Flügelveranstaltung und hob die Wichtigkeit von #Höcke, #Kalbitz und #Urban hervor.

Thread - What I can share with you after 5th anniversary?

Enough is discussed about capital,risk,psychology, trade management, discipline,trading systems etc.These are all basics and one should first get them right before moving further..So not going to discuss about it.. 1/26
Let me try to discuss about things which are less spoken..Mostly about habits and routine to manage ourselves better..Am not saying these are must but just sharing what I feel right as it helped me to steer things clearly in these 5years..2/26
Dig deeper not wider.This is information age and tonnes of info flowing..it all looks great and bookmark everything but you will never read..Some times all looks garbage and you will miss some gems..3/26

På förekommen anledning (så gårdagens och morgonens utbyten) tänker jag nu dra en lång tråd om det där med individuellt ansvar, kollektivt ansvar, samtyckte, respekt och sexuell integritet.
För att etablera rätt utgångspunkt för mitt teoretiserande kommer jag att prata lite om mig själv, och hur jag har handlat. Här kan det antagligen se ut som att jag framhäver mig själv som Hygglig Snubbe™, och som att jag förväntar mig ryggdunk för detta.
Så är inte fallet. De exempel jag kommer att lyfta är rimligen att se som minimi-nivån för anständighet, och därmed inget som förtjänar beröm. Om jag INTE hade agerat så som exemplen påvisar hade det varit värt klander.

Noticias del frente legal, con la suspensión del Plan Hidrológico del Tajo a causa de la ausencia de caudales ecológicos. Abrimos hilo 👇
cadenaser.com/emisora/2019/0…
En la cuenca del #ríoSegura siempre hemos tenido una marcada diferencia entre la productividad del #secano y del #regadío, cosa que se refleja en su precio. De allí que surgiera una obsesión por el acceso al agua y la 'recalificación hidráulica' (pelotazo)
agropopular.com/murcia-tierras…
Durante el medievo, a falta de materiales y conocimientos de ingeniería como para construir grandes embalses de regulación, se desarrolló una importante red de azudes y canales (huertas tradicionales) que prácticamente agotó las posibilidades de riego con aguas no reguladas.

#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.
