"At a time when the rest of the world is grappling with the challenges of ageing populations, #Africa has the world’s youngest population.
The 10 countries with the youngest populations are all in Africa."

"It’s an outrage that any family has to choose between buying medicine and buying food; between poverty and illness.
That’s why WHO’s top priority is #HealthForAll. Ultimately, it is not just a moral imperative; it’s an economic imperative."-@DrTedros at #TEFForum2019 in 🇳🇬
"My asks for African leaders:
1⃣ Harness the power of health for economic growth. Countries that invest in building resilient health systems, based on strong #PrimaryHealthCare, make an investment that will pay a rich dividend for decades to come"-@DrTedros at #TEFForum2019 in 🇳🇬

#Heatwave #Hitzewelle day. I'm going to be sad, scared, angry at all the evidence of ongoing harm around me - people driving stupidly big cars with AC on, jetting off on holidays, whose emissions have caused this and whose actions are making things worse.
I'll see a hazy Mont Blanc across the lake, whose glaciers are receding. May its peak stay white as long as I & my child live & longer - but will it? I'll be angry at my own participation in climate destruction. It will be hard to get work done.
I'm glad I wrote these words to express how I feel at this moment in our time together. I know we don't want to be guilty of destruction, but we are, we have been. We were born into fossil capitalism, born behind enemy lines. Let's wake up & get out.

THREAD. Actually, i’ve spent my life avoiding heat. Here are my top tips for staying #Cool in a #HeatWave...
1. Buy an air conditioner. They sell out like summer was never on the calendar but @ecoairGB and @DeLonghiUK are good. Spend as much as you can afford and 8000/9000BTU is fine to cool small / medium room. (seal around vent pipe as well as u can. Only need 1 cool room to survive)
2. CLOSE THE BLOODY WINDOWS! Most important thing. Curtains and blinds too. On my street today all windows are wide open and the air outside is 12 degrees hotter than inside! #Madness! Close at 10am and open as soon as the air outside cools below inside, usually after dark

Heat Wave
Headline July 25, 1936

Over 12 000 dead in 86 cities in 1936

Compared to 7439 deaths from heat in 1935

Compared to 8851 in 86 cities in 1934 years

#heat #climatechange #GlobalWarming #dustbowl #thegrapesofwrath #1934 #1935 #1936
The drought of 1930 created the great dust bowl & the migration to CA by 1934, an estimated 35 million acres of formerly cultivated land had been rendered useless for farming, another 125 million acres, an area roughly 3/4 the size of Texas—was rapidly losing its topsoil.
On May 11, 1934, a massive dust storm two miles high traveled 2,000 miles to the East Coast, blotting out monuments such as the Statue of Liberty and the U.S. Capitol.

• Good Idea, Bad Idea•

Yoongi is a photographer on the last legs of a once flourishing career. He has no passion, no drive, and the industry is sure that he’s nearing retirement when he finds his muse in the form of one Kim Seokjin.

#YJweek19 #19day1
The only problem? Seokjin is apart of the paparazzi, and not only is it his job to be behind the camera, not in front of it, but also the morals of his profession put everything about him into question. #yoonjin #yoonjinau #nsfw

It's my ten year anniversary at AWS, I got a new badge and everything! To celebrate, I'm going to tweet out the lightning talk I gave at last week's Amazon dev con. It's all about my favorite thing from my ten years: Shuffle Sharding!
Ever wonder how we manage multi-tenancy at AWS? or why we want you to use the personal health dashboard instead of the AWS status dashboard? are you pining for a bonus content section with probabilistic math? These slides on Shuffle Sharding are for you!!
O.k., so this is me, 15 years ago, building a data center. That's what I used to do for money. This one was about 30 racks, and I was the project lead. It took me about a year to build it, everything from initial design to labeling cables.

THE PROBLEM WITH TANA MONGEAU: a thread
In this thread I will NOT be discussing tanacon. I’ve discussed that at length here. this is about the other issues I have with Tana
I also can’t start a thread without linking idubbbz and the whole “n-word” fiasco. I really agree with idubbbz, but this does show that she’s a liar and hypocrite
