The rest of Angel district had normal houses and apartments mostly rented to residents and only a few were owned.

Ali loved writing and his passion made him win several literature awards in high school. His articles were published in his school’s monthly journal and some were great enough to be published in the local newspaper.

It was Ali’s last year of high school and he had received a full scholarship in journalism.

Ali’s father owned several apartment buildings, plazas, and shopping stores in the district and his main income was based on the rents.

Ali’s father was a cold-hearted man who had no sympathy for others. He even gave charity just to pay less annual tax…

Beleza

A beleza existe de todas as formas. Ela é o que nos inspira a todo instante, ainda que diante das injustiças, é preciso ter coragem para vê-la, descobri-la em meio ao nosso monólogo diário. A beleza é muitas vezes, a criação do particular. Sim, a beleza em determinadas situações nasce simplesmente, do poder agradecer a preciosidade da vida, dos valores humanos, da coragem, da resiliência. Em tudo há essência que se conecta com a fé, com a permissão das coisas boas que é construído dia após dia dentro de nós.
Se você fechar os olhos nesse momento e pensar em algo bom na sua vida, verá beleza. A medida que você pensa e começa sentir, essa sua escolha é [consciente e intencional], porque você criou esse cenário. Então diante disso, existe um sentimento de leveza, de energia boa, de coisas que provocam sanções agradáveis. Logo, há o alcance do…

Russian Government Bank Deposited $500 Million into Deutsche Bank Subsidiary as it Lent to Trump – Forensic News

A Russian government-controlled bank deposited at least half a billion dollars into the American subsidiary of Deutsche Bank around the time that the bank lent Trump his most scrutinized loans, according to exclusively obtained confidential bank records. As Trump received loans from the subsidiary, DBTCA, totaling over $360 million, Gazprombank sent $511 million in cash to DBTCA to be dispersed however the Russian bank directed.

Additionally, DBTCA had deep liabilities to the Russian government in 2013, according to the documents acquired by Forensic News. The documents show that financial entities in Russia were owed nearly $3 billion by the subsidiary in October 2013.

A confidential report from Deutsche Bank Trust Company (DBTC), DBTCA’s holding company, shows that in October 2013, DBTCA owed Russian government-controlled Gazprombank over €373 million, or approximately $511 million. It was DBTCA’s biggest single liability to a foreign government-controlled entity. An additional liability of €2.8 million to a Gazprombank subsidiary in Switzerland brought DBTCA’s total liability to Gazprombank to more than $515 million.

In a statement, Deutsche Bank said that DBTCA’s relationship with Gazprombank was one in which the Russian state bank moved significant amounts of money into DBTCA as part of a “cash management” arrangement: “At no point has DBTCA ever received loans or a capital injection from Gazprombank or any other Russian bank,” a spokesman for Deutsche Bank said.

R&D needed for a stable climate

Darcy Hitchcock

For the first time, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change included an analysis of technology and innovation. Governments and industry must invest in climate solutions, but which ones? What has the best chance of keeping us below the 1.5 C degree goal? Some of the recommendations are counterintuitive.

Big problems benefit when solutions start small

In the last decade, the stellar standouts are solar, wind and batteries. Costs have plummeted, making renewable energy cheaper than fossil fuels.

Part of the success was the ubiquitous opportunities for use: tiny solar panels can charge your phone, larger arrays can power your house, and larger systems yet can power communities. Similarly better batteries can power your phone or your car, or store energy for your community. Innovation happening at all these scales has a compounding effect.

The success of wind, solar, and batteries is “really counterintuitive to what…
