Speaking to MWN at the #AfricaEnergyForum in #CapeTown, Andrew Herscowitz, CEO of the #Mission300 Accelerator, said the initiative launched by the #WorldBank and the #AfricanDevelopmentBank has already brought electricity to 50 million people across Africa. This marks an important step toward the initiative's goal of reaching 300 million people by 2030, he argued. Herskowitz also announced the launch of six new national energy compacts for #Gabon, the #CentralAfricanRepublic, #Rwanda, #Uganda, #Djibouti, and #BurkinaFaso, adding to the 30 agreements already in place. He said the partnerships are expected to accelerate investments and reforms aimed at expanding electricity access across the continent over the coming years. #Africa #Energy #ElectricityAccess #Development #Infrastructure #Mission300 #AfDB #WorldBank #mwn

En Prodigal Son, Hurwitz dedica el libro con una frase de Marshall Herskowitz: "The top of the alpha dominance hierarchy is still beneath the lowest level of what constitutes wisdom." (El tope de la jerarquía de dominancia alfa sigue estando por debajo del nivel más bajo de lo que constituye sabiduría) En estos días no puedo dejar de pensar que el problema no solo es quién gana, sino qué criterios usamos para elegir

"I couldn't be a yes-man. I never was and I never will be. I commenced winning pennants when I came, but I didn't commence getting any younger. The Yankees told me my services were no longer desired because they wanted to put in a youth program as an advance way of keeping the club going. I guess this means they fired me. I'll never make the mistake of being seventy again." Casey Stengel. In Stengel's 12 years with the Yankees, he won 10 pennants and 7 World Series. The Pirates defeated the Yankees in the 1960 World Series. The Yankees fired Stengel following that defeat. Shortly after the Yankees returned to New York, Stengel was informed by the team owners that he would not be given a new contract. Stengel's request was that the termination be announced at a press conference was granted, and on October 18, 1960, Topping and Stengel appeared before the microphones. After Topping evaded questions from the press about whether Stengel had been fired, Stengel took the microphone, and when asked if he had been fired, stated: "Quit! Fired. Whatever you please, I don't care." In January, 1961, Casey turned down several managing jobs, most notably the Detroit Tigers!!!! "It is fashionable to say that successful people, in any field, could have been whatever they wanted, but you could not picture Casey Stengel being anything else but what he was, the greatest showman baseball ever knew." Mickey Herskowitz. And my all time favourite Stengel line: "He's the only defensive catcher that can't catch.

This is what democracy looks like. Real leaders showing up, walking door to door, listening directly to the people, not hiding behind a screen or talking at communities from a distance. It was a pleasure hitting the doors with our future Assemblyman Craig Herskowitz. These conversations matter because representation matters. Long Islanders deserve leaders who are present, accessible, and willing to put in the work to fight for our communities every single day. Want to help us create real change? Join us tomorrow or at one of our upcoming canvassing events. Sign up through the link in bio or message us to get involved. Every conversation counts. #Democracy #LongIsland #CivicEngagement #PublicService #GetOutTheVote

“Alabama coach Paul “Bear” Bryant flew to Austin, TX to learn the offense from Royal and Bellard. “The next morning they’re going to get started,” sportswriter Mickey Herskowitz said. “Darrell gets to the football building, and Coach Bryant is outside sitting on the steps. Darrell said, ‘Paul, how long you been sitting here?’ And Coach Bryant said, ‘Since 6 o’clock — when do you guys go to work around here?'” 😂

Trump could be destroyed in a debate by 8 y/o, ponytailed, 4th Estate Gumshoe Megan Herskowitz of the "Weekly Reader." Why he's terrified to take her on. She'd skip recess to do it.

@JessicaTarlov Something about females scares Trump. He's terrified to be interviewed by 8 y/o, ponytailed, 4th Estate Gumshoe Megan Herskowitz of the Weekly Reader, who was willing to skip recess for the interview.
