Media report: Americans buy house for Jørgen Wæver — he denies the claim Jørgen Wæver Johansen is now responding to Weekendavisen’s report about the purchase of a property involving his American business partners. According to Weekendavisen, Jørgen Wæver Johansen’s American business partners have spent DKK 5.4 million on buying a new property for him. Last year, the American company Greenland Development Partners acquired a stake in Greenland Water Bank, a company owned by Jørgen Wæver Johansen and Svend Hardenberg. Weekendavisen reports that it has obtained the payment receipt for the property transaction, showing that the American company transferred USD 823,000 from its address in New York to the former owner. However, in a written response to KNR, Jørgen Wæver Johansen denies that the Americans bought the property. According to Sermitsiaq, the deed lists Jørgen Wæver Johansen’s company, Inuit Properties Greenland, as the owner. He owns 100 percent of the company. Wæver Johansen told KNR that the property is a commercial investment. It is widely known that Nuuk faces a shortage of accommodation during the summer months. Jørgen Wæver Johansen says the investment in the property is a response to that situation. “The purpose is simple: to ensure that our employees and business partners have access to safe and reliable accommodation when they are working in Nuuk,” Jørgen Wæver Johansen wrote to KNR. Foreign nationals wishing to purchase property in Greenland require an exemption from the Greenlandic government unless they have lived and paid taxes in Greenland for at least two years. Jørgen Wæver Johansen told KNR that he is personally liable for the property. “The investment is structured on ordinary commercial terms through a combination of equity and secured, interest-bearing loans that must be repaid. I have assumed both the debt and the business risk.” “The property will be operated commercially, including for short-term stays. Investing in necessary capacity where demand clearly exceeds supply is exactly the kind of practical investment Greenland needs.” He also notes that his business relationship with the American company Greenland Development Partners is already well known. —KNR #Ejendom #Grønland #Investering

Quise poner a Oviedo, el director del DANE de Duque como mi director del DANE por mi respeto a la ciencia estadítica, que implica continuidad en el tiempo y rigurosidad en los métodos. Pude hacer estudios se estadística de cinco semestres en mi pregrado de economía y los posgrados que curse y la respeto como técnica e instrumento de una buena gestión Los datos son los únicos que pueden guiar las políticas públicas y su crítica, por tanto deben ser respetadas las estadísticas oficiales de una nación como su crítica fundamentada ennla ciencia, y los métodos, que siempre deben estar expuestos de manera publica, no sólo sus resultados sino sus técnicas de medición para la discusión abierta. No nombre a Oviedo fue por su programa de privatización del catastro multipropósito que al final, desarrollé en gran proporción y defendí como parte del acuerdo de paz, hecho por el instituto Público. Agustín Codazzi. Nombré a Piedad sin conocerla anteriormente ni saber de sus ideas políticas, sino por su gran capacidad académica que es fundamental en la gran responsabilidad de dirigir las estadísticas del país. Creo que desarrolló un muy buen trabajo y mostró lo que hicimos y no hicimos con fidelidad a las técnicas estadísticas acumuladas en el DANE, no cambiamos métodos y si aumentamos campos que no existían. Lo que acaba de hacer Abelardo es una grosería contra la profesión y la ética estadística. No sólo esperaba negar prejuiciadamente y sin razón, sin argumentos, los resultados obtenidos tanto de mi gobierno como los del DANE como institución misma, no solo irrespetó a una persona que el mismo nombró por negarse a hacer lo que un profesional estadístico nunca debe hacer: adaptar las cifras a la voluntad del gobernante y no al revés. Si las cifras muestran hechos negativos producidos por la política pública lo que hay que hacer no es cambiar ni el dato, ni al estadístico, sino a la política pública. El peligro hacia adelante es inminente. No conozco al nuevo director del DANE, esperó que mantenga los criterios de la ética estadística y pediré toda la información pública con los instrumentos que ley y constitución me permiten. Convoca a todas y todos los profesionales de la estadística en Colombia a construir la veeduría necesaria para garantizar que si hay cambios en los métodos estadísticos y rupturas en las lineas de continuidad de los datos se estudien de manera colectiva y pública. #Estadística #PolíticasPúblicas #ÉticaEstadística

I testimoni della fede non propongono un’ideologia, ma mostrano una fede vissuta nella quotidianità. La loro credibilità nasce dalla coerenza tra le parole e le azioni, coerenza spesso portata fino al sacrificio supremo. In contesti culturali indifferenti, la “santità della porta accanto” e l'eroismo silenzioso diventano argomenti significativi, capaci di interpellare tutti, anche i più diffidenti. https://t.co/sf7uA6WPIz #Fede #Santità #Eroismo

Due anni dopo quello che penso di te non è rimasto uguale. È cresciuto. E anche tanto. È cresciuta la stima, è cresciuto il rispetto, perché il tempo non racconta soltanto chi siamo: prima o poi lo dimostra. E tu, nel tempo, hai dimostrato di essere molto di più dell'immagine che avevo conosciuto attraverso una trasmissione. Da allora ho continuato a seguirti, passo dopo passo, ben oltre quelle telecamere. Ho avuto il privilegio "di conoscere" l'uomo che sei attraverso il modo in cui scegli di comportarti. Perché si può essere forti alzando la voce, ma ci vuole molta più forza per sapere quando non vale nemmeno la pena rispondere. E tu, nonostante provocazioni, cattiverie e parole che avrebbero fatto perdere la pazienza a chiunque, sei rimasto quasi sempre in silenzio. Nessuna guerra con gli haters, nessuna necessità di restituire fango al fango. Solo, in rarissime occasioni, qualche risposta ironica, più per divertirti che per combattere. Di te mi hanno colpito la discrezione, l'educazione, il rispetto, il modo di proteggere ciò che ami senza trasformarlo in qualcosa da esibire, la capacità di andare avanti per la tua strada senza sentire continuamente il bisogno di spiegarti. Ma soprattutto, dopo due anni, posso dire: È cresciuta la stima, è cresciuto il rispetto e anche il bene che ti voglio. Perché due anni sono abbastanza per capire che certe qualità non sono la posa di un momento: ma appartengono alla persona. Pensavo di aver visto giusto quando ti ho conosciuto. La verità è che non avevo ancora visto abbastanza. Oggi lo posso dire con ancora più convinzione di allora: SEI DAVVERO UN GRAN SIGNORE. #Rispetto #Stima #Crescita

DR CONGO — Ebola outbreak remains severe despite signs of progress Importance: 10/10 — Critical The UN says there are encouraging signs in the fight against the Ebola outbreak, but it is still too early to declare that the epidemic has peaked. More than 7,200 confirmed cases and 3,510 deaths have been recorded across seven provinces. Daily infections have declined from around 120 at the mid-August peak to roughly 80, but North Kivu remains particularly alarming, with 555 new cases reported there in the past 21 days.

DR CONGO — Protests and clashes over proposed constitutional changes Importance: 9/10 — Very High Police used tear gas and warning shots as opposition protests spread across Kinshasa and other cities against proposed constitutional changes. Opponents fear the changes could open the way for President Félix Tshisekedi to seek a third term. The political confrontation adds another layer of instability while the country simultaneously faces the Ebola epidemic and conflict in the east.

SOUTH AFRICA / UNITED STATES — Washington imposes new visa restrictions Importance: 9/10 — Very High U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new visa-restriction policy targeting certain foreign nationals from South Africa. Washington says the measures concern people linked to uncompensated land seizures, racial discrimination or violence against ethnic minorities. The move marks another deterioration in U.S.–South African relations following disputes over land reform, racial policy and Pretoria's foreign policy.

EGYPT / RED SEA — Sisi and Saudi crown prince focus on security of strategic shipping routes Importance: 9/10 — Very High Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stressed the need to protect freedom and security of navigation through the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb. The talks come amid escalating Houthi military activity and growing threats to one of the world's most important maritime corridors. Egypt has a particularly strong economic interest because disruption of Red Sea traffic directly affects Suez Canal revenues.

DJIBOUTI — Yemen conflict drives growing refugee pressure across the Red Sea Importance: 8/10 — High Escalating fighting in Yemen is pushing more civilians toward Djibouti. More than 2,000 Yemenis are already there, while nearly 94,000 people have been displaced inside Yemen. A fuel shortage is temporarily slowing sea crossings, but the International Organization for Migration expects more people to attempt the journey once fuel becomes available. Djibouti's capacity to absorb additional arrivals could come under increasing pressure.

SOUTH AFRICA — Seven women's deaths trigger major investigation and national concern Importance: 8/10 — High South African police are investigating the deaths of seven women whose bodies have been discovered over the past two months in and around Ekurhuleni, east of Johannesburg.

NIGERIA — Industrial-scale methamphetamine laboratory dismantled Importance: 7/10 — High Nigeria's anti-drug agency dismantled an industrial-scale methamphetamine laboratory in Ebonyi State and arrested a Mexican national while he was attempting to leave the country. Authorities say the operation followed a months-long investigation into a wider criminal network. The case is significant because West and Central Africa are increasingly being used not only as drug-transit corridors but also as production hubs for synthetic narcotics.

SOUTH AFRICA — Rand weakens as oil-price surge increases inflation pressure Importance: 7/10 — High The South African rand weakened against the U.S. dollar as high global energy prices, a stronger dollar and weaker precious-metals prices increased concerns about inflation and South Africa's import bill. As a major oil importer, South Africa is particularly exposed to the current energy shock, which could feed through into fuel prices, transport costs and monetary-policy decisions.

An experimental blood test has demonstrated the ability to detect pancreatic cancer in early stages with 87% effectiveness, which could facilitate its treatment, although it still requires further large-scale testing and should not replace existing imaging techniques. (translated)

Senti que o Miguel ficou desconfortável com o exemplo que o Francisco deu em relação ao filho. No entanto surpreendeu-me a capacidade emocional do MV em procurar o FM, conseguiram falar os DOIS, sem guerras. Ouviram-se e perceberam-se.

Gaia Piccardi è una Lucarelli che non ce l’ha fatta. Una cinica senza arguzia. Una snob senza eleganza. Vi risparmio il link all’articolo per non regalarle mezza visualizzazione. Sappiate che non c’è mezza parola sul suo valore in campo e quello delle altre tenniste citate. Il metro di valutazione è la capacità di fare marchette social, imbonire stampa e sponsor con l’esuberanza. Il dubbio che non possa riuscire a “promuovere e vendere il prodotto chiamato Wta sugli scaffali dello sport internazionale”. La necessità di “fare un salto di qualità alla narrazione del personaggio.” Deprimente. Ridicolo. Deprimente l’ho già detto? Deprimente. #tennis #rybakina #tennis #sport #femminile

Diário de bordo n⁰ 01. Os jovens da Missão são muito generosos. A bem da verdade, estou emocionado com sua cordialidade. Acabei de descobrir que reservaram para mim, os melhores aposentos no ônibus leito de apoio à Caravana Rodoviária do Renan, na longa viagem, em curso. Até então, eu estava acomodado, voluntariamente, numa poltrona. Talvez seja porque eu seja o soldado mais velho na "Cavalaria Mecanizada" do Renan, blindada pela nossa valorosa Polícia Federal. Não imaginava, deferência tão grande. É difícil não marejar os olhos, pensando no gesto do honrado time liderado pelo Renan. É difícil não pensar na sua abnegação e renúncia ao conforto. É fácil compreender porque tantos jovens brasileiros se inspiram nele. Antes de embarcar, o Renan pulava de alegria com seus amigos, com seus irmãos da Missão. Hoje, @RenanSantosMBL esta feliz. Sua energia magnetiza, encanta, inspira, ilumina. Se o Brasil conhecesse o Renan, como nós o conhecemos no dia a dia, Ele Sim, estaria eleito no 1⁰ turno. Oro ao mestre Jesus pelo despertar da nossa Nação, fazendo brilhar na cabeça dos brasileiros que a eleição do Governo Renan Santos tem capacidade para transformar o Brasil, numa Grande Potência Mundial. Sobra-lhe vitalidade para isso. #Missão #Jovens #Transformação

Según la rumorología se comenta que las empresas de IA guardan en la recámara avances y soluciones a algunos problemas matemáticos importantes (y sí, algún otro problema del milenio). Tras el revuelo de la última semana estarían viendo cómo gestionar dichos anuncios. Pregunto: Si fuera así, ¿seria esto evidencia suficiente para que los detractores acepten que los resultados provienen de la capacidad de los modelos? #InteligenciaArtificial #Matemáticas #AvancesTecnológicos
