Formation Lap. #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1
Lights out!!!! #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1
Lap 14. Sai, P10, and Ham, P6, are the cars on the move. Lec stuck at P3 behind Ver. Bot leads. #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1
Lap 20. Lec is doing well to stick with Ver and Bot who are 2.6s ahead. Sai now P9 and Ham P5 behind Per. #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1
Lap 29. Half way through the race. Lec still 2.5s behind Ver. Sai's charge seems to have stalled behind Stroll whose 1.5s ahead. Ham hunting down Per for P4. #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1
Lap 42. Lec leads after Bot and Ver pit! And he may not need to stop. Ham P4 and also hasn't stopped. Sai P9 has undercut Stroll. #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1
Lap 49. Lec pits, comes out P4 ahead of Per and behind Ham. Sai is once again on the move. P8 and fastest lap at the moment. #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1
Lap 55. 4 to go. Ham is unhappy at having to pit and is now in P5 behind Lec who has been passed by Per. #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1
Bot wins. Ver. Per. Lec. Ham. Gas. Nor. Sai. Str. Oco. #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1
Ham might be complaining but I reckon if he had listened to the team earlier, he would probably be P4 or even P3. Good race by the Scuds. Sai would bemy driver of the day coming from the back row to P8. #TurkishGP #ForzaFerrari #F1

In case you want to watch it, the @CIJ_ICJ judgment in the maritime dispute between Kenya and Somalia should be live here:
media.un.org/en/asset/k14/k…
Court has completely picked apart Kenya's argument that there was an existing agreement on the border. Mwaura will recall this as the same feeling as when listening to #BBIAppealJudgment.
I'm sure this must make for riveting listening for cartographers. It however reminds me of Double Geography after lunch on Wednesdays in high school which was delivered in much the same droning monotone.

"I will never apologize for the USA — I don't care what the facts are" - George H.W. Bush in 1988 after U.S.S. Vincennes, operating illegally in Iranian waters, shot down Iran Air Flight 655 killing 290 people. Rather than stop killing civilians, the US has learnt to apologize.
What of compensation? Last year, when the US extorted from Sudan $3m per US victim for the 1998 Embassy bombings, it valued Kenyan and Tanzanian lives at 14% of US lives. Lockerbie families got 10m each from Libya, but the US paid on average $225,000 per victim for Iran Air 655.
Does anyone imagine the US will value Afghan lives the same way it does Western ones?

On @bbcworldservice Heart & Soul, the Director of the Vatican Observatory admits teaching in "Africa" and the interviewer asks if, comparing the majesty of the heavens and the suffering in "Africa", he'd queried his faith. Nothing on querying suffering in Detroit where he's from.
It always fascinates me the space "Africa" occupies in the Western imagination. A paper I once read cited a study finding that many odieros regarded volunteering in "Africa" is the greatest good one can do, and few thought easing suffering in their own countries was as worthy.
I think many buy into the myth of the "civilising mission". Nobodies can turn up in "Africa" and imagine the natives looking up to them like superior beings bringing enlightenment and civilisation. "Africa" where the benefits and privileges of whiteness can be fully realized.
