2+ hours waiting to get through immigration at MDE. Not tourist friendly. Only 5 agents working. Insane. Not a holiday or a weekend.

$AVZ @AvzMinerals @asicmedia @ASX @acccgovau @LawyersWeekly @DLA_Piper @ChaneyforCurtin From $4.6B to $4 million in less than 2 years. AVZ was valued at $4.6B in May, 2022. Today, the company has $4m in the bank, and could be delisted as soon as May 13. How can so much value evaporate in such a short time. Incompetence, reckless advice, or a grossly irresponsible fee-fest by management and their lawyers? ASIC and ASX - How did so many warnings from industry participants like @BoatmanCapital, @OmniBridgeway, and shareholders go unnoticed? You had a duty to protect AVZs 22,000 shareholders from blatant misconduct. The AVZ Minerals board and their counsel DLA need to explain... and "spurious and immaterial" should not be the response. Management and their lawyers got rich, and the predominantly retail shareholder base paid for it. DLA's legal advice must be reviewed by the ACCC and the Legal Professional Complaints Committee AVZ board members: DR JOHN CLARKE, NIGEL FERGUSON, SERGE NGANDU, GRAEME JOHNSTON, RHETT BRANS, DR CASTA TUNGARAZA, AMBASSADOR SALOME T. SIJAONA DLA Legal Advisors: CAMERON MACLEAN, COREY STEEL, MICHAEL ROBBINS $AVZ flags delisting, shareholders face $2.8b wealth wipeout, this would easily be one of largest sharemarket collapses in history, joined the S&P/ASX 200 $XJO in 2022 @FinancialReview afr.com/markets/equity-marke… "Exclusive: Australian miner’s plan to pour millions into the pocket of Congo middleman." @theage teapaw.org/MMGACIC/status/1… AVZ Funder: MMGA notes the principal of Locke Capital, Nick Johnson, is a personal injury lawyer, not a specialist in international arbitration. teapaw.org/MMGACIC/status/1… Lawyers warned on potential deterioration of AVZ’s governance @FinancialReview afr.com/markets/equity-marke… $AVZ director's 3-year jail sentence in Congo flagged by proxy advisers as issue ahead of Nov 23 AGM that will see three activist directors seek election to board of sin-binned #lithium explorer via @FinancialReview afr.com/markets/equity-marke… Wait, there is an even bigger problem. @DLA_Piper would have given honest and frank advice to Nigel Ferguson disclosing the risks and flaws in the AVZ case, right?Could they be liable for the $20 million of shareholder funds AVZ spent on legal/consulting in 2023 if they didn't? No, surely DLA disclosed the risks. So, if Nigel was aware of the holes in the case, why would he play a high-stakes legal gamble with shareholder funds, betting everything on the DRC backing down? That's either crazy-bold or crazy-stupid. teapaw.org/LudbrookTy/statu… Former $AVZ director slams $1.5m Mihigo payment, calls for change @FinancialReview teapaw.org/MMGACIC/status/1… $AVZ wouldn't appoint a Kings Council from the East Coast to represent them in a WA Court?

But the announcement came only after being asked about it by AFR. The disclosure at $AVZ is laughable. afr.com/markets/equity-marke… ASIC please investigate the non-disclosure by @AvzMinerals Managing Director Nigel Ferguson @NFerguson2014 of a material event, the relinquishment of the north block of Manono.

Never disclose in time until they cannot hide. teapaw.org/LaRsDrank/status… Our success did not go unnoticed..." An ironic statement given the origins of $AVZ's operations in the DRC. More good news for @AvzMinerals as local DRC media report that it has failed to meet social obligations and is therefore in breach of its license. Get the feeling $AVZ is being ganged up on? 7sur7.cd/index.php/2022/06/2… $AVZ should make a public statement and correct the public record if these statements published by @7sur7_cd regarding @cominiereSA and a very serious allegation that AVZ may not control its shares in DATHCOM due to non-payment of legal fees. 7sur7.cd/2024/04/04/heros-co… AVZ Minerals hit with allegations of ‘oppressive conduct’ against shareholders in Supreme Court action thewest.com.au/business/mini… xx

Get Unrealistic There is a process that I have used, and still use, to reignite life...👇 Create two timelines—6 months and 12 months—and list up to five things you dream of having (including, but not limited to, material wants: house, car, clothing, etc.), being (be a great cook, be fluent in Chinese, etc.), and doing (visiting Thailand, tracing your roots overseas, racing ostriches, etc.) in that order. If you have difficulty identifying what you want in some categories, as most will, consider what you hate or fear in each and write down the opposite. Do not limit yourself, and do not concern yourself with how these things will be accomplished. For now, it’s unimportant. This is an exercise in reversing repression. Be sure not to judge or fool yourself. If you really want a Ferrari, don’t put down solving world hunger out of guilt. For some, the dream will be fame, for others fortune or prestige. All people have their vices and insecurities. If something will improve your feeling of self-worth, put it down. Drawing a blank? In that case, consider these questions: What would you do, day to day, if you had $100 million in the bank? What would make you most excited to wake up in the morning to another day? Don’t rush—think about it for a few minutes. If still blocked, fill in the five “doing” spots with the following: one place to visit one thing to do before you die (a memory of a lifetime) one thing to do daily one thing to do weekly one thing you’ve always wanted to learn What does “being” entail doing? Convert each “being” into a “doing” to make it actionable. Identify an action that would characterize this state of being or a task that would mean you had achieved it. People find it easier to brainstorm “being” first, but this column is just a temporary holding spot for “doing” actions. Here are a few examples: 1) Great cook —> make Christmas dinner without help 2) Fluent in Chinese —> have a five-minute conversation with a Chinese co-worker Determine three steps for each of the dreams in just the 6-month timeline and take the first step now. Define three steps for each dream that will get you closer to its actualization. Set actions—simple, well-defined actions—for now, tomorrow (complete before 11 A.M.) and the day after (again completed before 11 A.M.). Once you have three steps for each of the four goals, complete the three actions in the “now” column. Do it now. Each should be simple enough to do in five minutes or less. If not, rachet it down. If it’s the middle of the night and you can’t call someone, do something else now, such as send an e-mail, and set the call for first thing tomorrow. If the next stage is some form of research, get in touch with someone who knows the answer instead of spending too much time in books or online, which can turn into paralysis by analysis. The best first step, the one I recommend, is finding someone who’s done it and ask for advice on how to do the same.

@lumaenergypr still seeing very low voltages. Like 208v and my solar system can’t handle this. Over an hour on hold and gave up.

@lumaenergypr look at this voltage graph. This is what I’m measuring inside my house. Very bad.
Just realized that Tostitos has Titos in it.

Sad that I'm embarrassed to use Apple now. @apple has become big brother. Please stop with the surveillance scans. Listen to @Snowden and get back to protecting our privacy, not putting it at risk.
The most innovative companies run on Mac. It’s no wonder why. Read on for a few of the 11 reasons you should work on Mac.

No matter how well-intentioned, @Apple is rolling out mass surveillance to the entire world with this. Make no mistake: if they can scan for kiddie porn today, they can scan for anything tomorrow. They turned a trillion dollars of devices into iNarcs—*without asking.*
🚨🚨 Apple says to "protect children," they're updating every iPhone to continuously compare your photos and cloud storage against a secret blacklist. If it finds a hit, they call the cops. iOS will also tell your parents if you view a nude in iMessage. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/ap…
