Sustainability. Impact investing. Even the old-school \u201csocially responsible.\u201d <\/strong>It\u2019s all the rage in certain circles these days \u2014 and incredibly squishy to define.

But it is now mostly dominated by another idea: Companies that avoid crooked management, promote diversity or insulate themselves from environmental fines will outperform companies that don\u2019t,\u201d notes the Wall Street Journal. The catch is that while ratings agencies seem to be in cahoots (what\u2019s new?) on what constitutes ESG, providers of ESG indexes including MSCI, Reuters and FTSE are far from being on the same page.

Should you consider unschooling your kids? <\/strong>It\u2019s not the same thing as homeschooling: It\u2019s a \u201cparallel universe \u2026 where <strong>kids don\u2019t do homework, don\u2019t take tests and don\u2019t worry about grades<\/strong>. For acolytes of unschooling, kids call the shots and direct their own learning. There\u2019s no rigid structure, no provincially prescribed curriculum and no bell at the end of the day. An unschooled kid with a preternatural interest in the Jurassic Period, for example, might spend a few weeks learning about every single dinosaur of that era.\u201d The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/life\/article-unschooled-kids-learn-what-they-want-no-curriculum-no-homework-no\/\">Globe and Mail has a rundown on the idea<\/a> and profiles of four families making it work.<\/p><p><strong>We\u2019re geeks here at Enterprise. <\/strong>That\u2019s well-established. So consider the fascination of the two biologists-turned-policy-geeks on staff when we read that microwave weapons are prime suspect in what appear to be deliberate attacks on U.S. embassy workers with a mystery weapon.

class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><strong>The talking heads jawed about everything from pollution to China and Mo Salah <\/strong>last night.And we\u2019re still puzzled as to when Lamees Al Hadidi will be returning to the airwaves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Env\u2019t ministry fuming over \u201cmost-polluted city in the world\u201d designation: <\/strong>The Environment Ministry is fuming (no pun intended) about <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/02\/cairo-named-worlds-most-polluted-city\/\">a recent study by a UK outfit called the Eco Experts<\/a> that Cairo is the most polluted city in the world, which happened to be picked up by Forbes Middle East. Ministry spokesperson Abdel Gawad Abu Kab attacked the data on Masaa DMC, casting aspersions on Forbes\u2019 \u201cjournalistic integrity\u201d and claiming that this is the second year in a row the magazine picked up the study. While he did acknowledged that pollution in Cairo is high, he claims other international agencies say the situation is improving (insert canned sitcom laugh track here).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well, the WHO says we\u2019re the second worst: <\/strong>Rep. Sherine Farag was not having any of it, launching a biting attack on the Environment Ministry\u2019s record. She noted that the World Health Organization placed Cairo second only to New Delhi in terms of ambient air pollution in <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.who.int\/iris\/bitstream\/handle\/10665\/250141\/9789241511353-eng.pdf?sequence=1\">a 2016 study aggregating data from 2011-2015 (pdf)<\/a>. She attacked the ministry for failing to respond or even address the report and called for the establishment of a fact-finding committee to determine where the problem lies and force the ministry to take action (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1W_F3iYuo70\">watch, runtime: 10:14<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s China trip continued to receive widespread coverage on the airwaves. <\/strong>Pundits and former officials flocked to the airwaves to repeat ad nauseum how we\u2019re witnessing a new golden era in relations with Beijing. Among them was former Foreign Ministry official Mohamed Hegazy, who praised the USD 18 bn in agreements signed as well as El Sisi\u2019s <strong>address to the Communist Party Congress on the dangers of radical Islam<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gcE7rfgJL-4\">watch, runtime: 9:07<\/a>). Egyptian-Chinese Business Council Deputy Head Mostafa Ibrahim said <strong>business relations<\/strong> between both countries needs another shot in the arm (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z-6-DsXfGuQ\">watch, runtime: 6:17<\/a>). Hona Al Asema\u2019s Reham Ibrahim delved deeper into the agreements with a panel of experts (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fb-DJkigPzM\">watch, runtime: 37:09<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trial runs on phase 4A of Cairo Metro Line 3 should start in mid-October<\/strong>, acting head of the National Authority for Tunnels (NAT) Amr Shaat told Hona Al Asema.

The changes include eliminating a clause in the model contract that required the companies cede a additional points in their concessions to the government every two years. The new agreements also apparently raise the cost-recovery ceiling to 40% of the oil or gas produced by a concession, up from 35%, the newspaper claims. Oil and gas companies were consulted during the drafting of the changes and their recommendations factored into the changes, the source said. <strong>Caveat lector: <\/strong>The single-source story doesn\u2019t cite anyone from the private sector, so we\u2019ll be looking into this in a bit more detail in the days ahead.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"624228\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"624229\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"624229\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Up Next<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/09\/03\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-82\/\">\r\n                            What we\u2019re tracking this week and beyond                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/09\/03\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-82\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

It now appears to have seized the diplomatic initiative with the US away from the GCC, thanks to a lobbying strategy targeting associates of US President Donald Trump that is being spearheaded by New York restaurateur Joey Allaham and a guy named Nick Muzin, a former deputy chief of staff to Republican Senator Ted Cruz.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The strategy:<\/strong> Basically, the campaign would rely on what the pickup artist industry would call love bombing. The lobbyists would entice a list of \u201cTrump influencers\u201d \u2014 people associated with the president politically or otherwise \u2014 and people he follows. They would be invited by the Emir to come visit Doha and wow and dazzle them. Among those targeted: Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Zionist Organization of America director Morton Klein, and lawyer (and Israel booster) Alan Dershowitz. The campaign goes so far as to run advertisements on shows Trump watches, according to an investigative piece by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-new-lobbying-qatar-targeted-250-trump-influencers-to-change-u-s-policy-1535554647?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=2\">Julie Bykowicz of the Wall Street Journal<\/a>. The campaign is widely considered to be unconventional for breaking with traditional channels of lobbying \u2014 and tailor-made for an unconventional president who \u201chas changed the rules of the game in the influence industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not to mention the spending:\u201d <\/strong>Qatar spent USD 16.3 mn on lobbying in 2017 in the US, up from USD 4.2 mn in 2016. Qatar was reportedly directly employing 23 lobbying firms as of June 2018.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The strategy appears to have been successful with the Trump administration changing its tone on Qatar drastically.<\/strong> \u201cMr. Trump reversed his stance and in April welcomed its emir, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani, into the White House, patting him on the knee and calling Qatar \u2018a valued partner and longtime friend.\u2019 A congressional bill to label Qatar a terrorist-supporting nation due to its alleged ties to Hamas stalled,\u201d writes Bykowicz.
