1. Today, together with Kovyla Publishing, we are opening the pre-order for my book “Scars and Seeds: Reckonings from Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.”
This is not a memoir, nor an attempt to tell my personal story. I decided to write this book for a different reason.

2. Over these years of war, we have paid a very high price-in people, decisions, mistakes,and experience. At the same time, we have gained something that cannot be simulated in any training center:an understanding of modern war as it truly is-harsh, fast, and constantly evolving.
3. My main motivation is to ensure that this experience does not remain ours alone.
I want our partners to understand this war more deeply. Not through news or reports, but through how things actually unfold.

Une loi pourrait faciliter le système des titres de séjour en France !

1. Les cartes «salarié» et «vie privée et familiale» passeraient de 1 à 2 ans
Aujourd’hui, renouveler ses papiers tous les ans = stress et précarité
L’allongement du titre à 2 ans permettrait aux personnes d’avoir plus de temps pour trouver un emploi stable et se former.

2. La carte « travailleur temporaire » serait supprimée
Aujourd’hui perdre son emploi = perdre ses papiers
Cette carte serait remplacée par une carte « salarié ». Même en cas de perte d’emploi, les personnes ne seront pas expulsées et auront le temps de retrouver un travail.

Supone ello que los agentes policiales cuando detienen, es porque los indicios superan el filtro de tipicidad, el primer eslabón de la teoría jca. del delito. Sin embargo, será en sede judicial cuando se entre a valorar el resto de cimientos que conllevan a afirmar el delito.

Most family stress is money stress wearing different masks. When spending is uncontrolled, every small issue turns into a fight because everyone feels unsafe.
Start with a simple rule, no random buys for 30 days unless it is food, bills, or health

2. Build a clear family budget
A budget is not restriction, it is a plan that removes fear. Write down income, fixed costs, debt, savings, and a small fun amount that is allowed.
Keep it simple so it is easy to follow every month. When money has a system, arguments reduce

#WestBengal | In 1960-61, West Bengal ranked third among Indian states by per capita income, behind only Punjab and Maharashtra. By 2023-24, it had fallen to twenty-fourth. 🧵
A big part of why: factories. Between 1977 and 2011, West Bengal's registered factories grew 64%. Tamil Nadu's grew 233%. Gujarat's grew 135%. These aren't marginal differences.
By 2008, West Bengal had just 7% of India's industrial workers but accounted for 85.6% of all man-days lost to political closures nationwide. The rest of India, combined, made up 14.4%.
Most people are watching the Iran conflict as an isolated story.

NEW: The Justice Department just released an 800+ report on how President Joe Biden's administration weaponized the FACE Act against pro-life Americans and Americans of faith.
It's worse than we thought. 🧵
It's worse than we thought. 🧵
The Biden DOJ relied on information gathered from radical pro-abortion groups to track, prosecute, and snoop on peaceful pro-life protesters, according to emails included in that report.

One email shows a DOJ prosecutor, Sanjay Patel, referring to @NatAbortionFed's Michelle Davidson as an “MVP” for flagging pro-life protests to prosecute, "which usually result in an investigation/prosecution."
Patel was fired yesterday by Todd Blanche for weaponizing the FACE Act, DOJ official tells me.

Then deploy into RealFi which is expected to yield 10-15%.
Pocket the spread. That’s the carry trade.

AMERICAN PSYCHO was released 26 years ago today. A modern cult classic, and the film that kick-started the huge career of star Christian Bale, the story behind the scenes is as entertaining as Huey Lewis and The News…

In 1991, Brett Easton Ellis’ American Psycho was published. An 80s-set satire about a serial killer, film studios were interested almost immediately. Within on year, producer Edward Pressman had bought the rights.

Pressman brought in Re-Animator director Stuart Gordon to helm the adaptation. He wanted to film it in black and white, and talked with Johnny Depp about starring. Ellis thought Gordon was the wrong fit and he quickly weft the project.

¿Sabías que el mayor mito de la historia es que España vació América de riquezas? La Corona cobraba un 20 % de impuestos, pero un gigantesco 80 % restante se quedó allí financiando la construcción de catedrales, hospitales y universidades. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Durante siglos nos han vendido la oscura mentira de que los barcos españoles cruzaban el océano Atlántico cargados con todo el oro de América, dejando a un inmenso y rico continente sumido en la miseria más absoluta. La realidad económica fue diametralmente opuesta.
¿Qué era exactamente el famoso Quinto Real? Era un impuesto minero que establecía que la Corona de Castilla se quedaba con la quinta parte de los metales preciosos extraídos. Es decir, un simple veinte por ciento para el Estado. Hoy en día pagamos muchísimos más impuestos.

1/ Magyar hat Klartext gesprochen – und von der Leyen jubelt schon. Nur, was bedeutet das wirklich für die Ukraine? 🧵🇭🇺🇪🇺🇺🇦
2/ In seiner ersten großen Pressekonferenz gestern hat Péter Magyar klargemacht, dass er eine schnelle Regierungsbildung bis zum 5. Mai anstrebt und 'freundschaftliche Beziehungen' zu allen Nachbarn sucht – auch zur Ukraine. Er ist bereit, Präsident @ZelenskyyUa zu treffen und betont, dass die Ukraine das Opfer dieses Krieges ist. Gleichzeitig war er aber sehr deutlich und kritisch, was den EU-Beitritt der Ukraine betrifft.
3/ Er nannte es 'absurd', dass ein Land im Krieg in die 🇪🇺 aufgenommen werden soll und sagte klar, dass #Tisza das von Anfang an nicht unterstützte. Er hält den beschleunigten Beitritt der Ukraine in die EU nicht für relevant und glaubt nicht, dass es in den nächsten zehn Jahren passieren wird und lehnt sie ab.
1. 170개 넘는 시민사회단체들이 힘모은 '차별금지법제정연대'(차제연)는 정말 소중한 연대체다. 차별, 혐오가 판치는 이곳에서 고통과 상처받는 소수자들이 기댈 언덕이다. 특히 '노동자연대'에 괴롭힘당하던 성폭력 피해자들을 위해 목소리를 내준 곳으로도 항상 고맙게 기억한다.
2. 최근 차제연에서 있었던 논란은 그래서 더 아프다. 몇가지 사정으로 이 토론을 사실상 회피했던 사람으로서 뒤늦게 말을 꺼낼 자격도 없고 너무 미안하다. 차제연 집행위가 올해는 반드시 차별금지법을 제정하겠다는 결의로 제안한 다양하고 적극적인 사업들은 정말 필요했다.
3. 차제연 집행위가 얼마나 절박한 심정과 각오로 그런 계획들을 고민하고 제안했는지 생각하면, 모두가 큰 관심과 응답을 보내야 했다. 그것이 얼마나 중요한 목표이고 필요한 사업인지, 그 목표와 계획을 위해서 우리가 어떻게 무엇을 할 것인지 치열하게 논의됐어야 한다.
A Nigerian fintech founder raised $2M, built a slick app, onboarded 40,000 users.
Then CBN, NDPC, and FCCPC came knocking at the same time.
He had no licence. no DPO. no KYC tier structure. no breach policy.
The company didn’t survive 2024.

You answer to CBN, NDPC, SEC, FCCPC, NCC, NAICOM, CAC, and FIRS, sometimes all at once, depending on what your product touches.
Most founders only know CBN.

Let’s go through the specs first to give you basic info.
• It is a Very High Frequency (VHF) radar designed to detect stealth aircraft.
• It can track 100 targets up to a range of 400 km.
• It has 80 GaN TR modules which function independently.
• Has staring and rotate modes

2) Before jumping into the workings of this radar, we need to understand how RAM (Radar Absorbing Material) works:
a) RAM coating works by absorbing and deflecting incoming radar waves. Part of the energy is absorbed while the rest is deflected away from the receiver.

The RBI just changed the rules on Tata Sons.
New draft guidelines say every NBFC with over Rs 1 trillion in assets must list. No exceptions. No discretion.
Tata Sons has Rs 1.75 trillion.
This is not a suggestion. This is the regulator closing the escape hatch.

Quick context.
Tata Sons is the holding company that sits on top of the entire Tata Group. TCS, Tata Motors, Titan, Tata Steel, Air India, all of it.
66% is owned by Tata Trusts (philanthropic bodies). 18.34% by the Shapoorji Pallonji Group. The rest by Tata family members and smaller trusts.
It has never been listed.

Tata Sons had already missed one listing deadline. Their move? Filed to deregister as a core investment company altogether. Basically tried to remove themselves from the category that required listing.
RBI hasn’t ruled on that request yet.
Now the draft guidelines make the requirement mandatory above Rs 1 trillion. Discretion removed.
