My #2019ReadibgGoal was to read a book per week. I just finished book 51. It was my first Natalia Ginzburg.
I’m on book 52 now. When I finish it, I will post pics of the entire pile of books which have been mostly by women, queer authors, in translation, sometimes all three. I have LOVED reading my way through the year and posting mini reviews on Instagram. #2019ReadingGoals
I am very lucky to have been invited to speak at great festivals such as @akefestival in #Nigeria & @Abantu_ in South Africa & @BradfordLitFest in the UK, and where I encountered truly global, inclusive and diverse books. Most of the authors I’ve read have been people of colour.

Twitter has suspended thousands of accounts which it said on Friday were linked "to a significant state-backed information operation" originating in #Saudi Arabia. reuters.com/article/us-twi…
“Primarily, accounts were amplifying messages favorable to #Saudi authorities, mainly through inauthentic engagement tactics such as aggressive liking, retweeting and replying," it said.
This does not surprise me. After I helped Rahaf in January, I was on receiving end of sustained 6-week avalanche of attack by what I am convinced were #Saudi state-backed info-ops. Death threats, slut-shaming, racism, my face photoshopped onto the body of an adult film actor, etc

On Wednesday, Donald John Trump became the third US president in history to be impeached.

What does that mean and what is next?

This chart via @HuffPostUK is useful. We are in between Stages 3 and 4. google.com/amp/s/m.huffin… #Impeached45
The House of Representatives impeached Trump for abuse of power and obstruction Congress.

The charges are now supposed to move to the Republican-controlled Senate where an indictment will be written up and he will face trial.

BUT...
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would not say at a news conference soon after impeachment when or whether she would send two articles to the Senate for a trial.

Though #Pakistan was created on religious line, #Jinnah was most liberal Muslim who never wanted #Pakistan a religious firm!
Till 1977 , Religion was just a personal choice in #Pakistan , General #Zia not only pushed religion but also took country decades backward !
#SZAB
Zia knew he had zero support from People hence he decided to take support from Mullahs and he ensured that hardcore Islam penetrate each institution in #Pakistan including #Army & #ISI !
#Soviet invaded #Afghanistan in 1979, #Zia used this opportunity to the fullest .
#US wanted to work on Proxy war, Zia got excellent platform to build these Proxies in Madrassa's of Pakistan.

1. An interesting thing about #services trade in the context of #Brexit is that we need to remember that services imports directly create jobs. Economists always like imports, but public debate focuses on jobs coming from exports. #Services are different. Let me explain why.
2. Under the GATS, when a foreign services company establishes a subsidiary in the UK and sells services to locals, that's an import of services for the UK under #Mode3. But to sell services to locals, the business needs to employ locals. So imports directly create jobs in the UK
3. Eurostat data shows that around 2.6 million service sector employees in the UK get their paychecks from foreign controlled companies. It's hard to get a break down of exactly how much of that is European, but it's far to assume that it's substantial.

Have just come back after taking a round of a large #sewage treatment plant of a facility that's going under live monitoring
1/n
The @PMOIndia ,@moefcc ,@CPCB_OFFICIAL & other statutory bodies have begun work on a massive interconnected net of sensors that will measure & monitor wastewater being generated & treated at all large commercial & industrial units in #India. 2/n
This system is designed to ensure no large #industry or facility can release untreated #sewage & harm the #environment.
The readings from the sensors will be monitored live at 7 locations including the @PMOIndia .
