Quote of day--from Quora --how long will Saudi oil last.

This is not transparent as Saudi Arabia keeps these details as basically a State secret. Stated reserves in 2015 were 206bn barrels. So on the basis of 2015 consumption, about 70 years. The trouble is no one really knows. The stated reserves are the same as 10 years ago - so either new reserves have been found (and no major discovery was announced) or oil sources have become more economically viable with new technology.
The reality is that after 50 years if there has been no economic diversification by Saudi, they are in trouble. I they manage to diversify economically then this will be less of a leading question.

As the Green Revolution continues to spread around the world over the next decades, producing oil will become less and less profitable. Around 2050, oil production will no longer be profitable for most nations, and by 2100 the reserves will be depleted in the Middle East. But Saudi Arabia has a plan for this.
There seems to be some sort of pervading myth that the oil-based economies of today don’t realize oil can’t last forever. Therefore, once the oil market collapses all these nations will die along with it. Obviously, this is untrue. Every one of these nations, from Angola to Saudi Arabia, is already making strides to diversify. The Vision 2030 program, led by the so-called “liberal” Prince Mohammad bin Salman (which really just means he’s a few steps to the left of the Ayatollahs), will boost sectors such as tourism and consumer goods. Hopefully, this will lead to Saudi Arabia moving their societal norms from the 15th century to the 19th.
In conclusion, the end of oil in Saudi Arabia, and in all oil-based economies, will just be a minor hiccup as their economies diversify, mostly in the name of preserving power but with a side effect of liberalization.

Let me put something forward to get the discussion going.
The Saudi’s resources will last forever because the world’s need for oil will have diminished to a very low level before their resources are depleted. That’s because they have more resources, especially the attractive light oils, than almost anywhere else!

Oil never ends. It accumulates over hundreds of years and it is an ongoing process. Oil extraction cost might get higher. Anyway, if oil does vanish Saudi Arabia will still be able to produce oil for 90 additional years because the huge reserve it has.

TRMS--New York Times article on Khashoggi disappearance, intv with NYTs correspondent Kirkpatrick in Istanbul.

Pompeo smiling and yakking it up with MbS, saudi Crown Prince.
Doesn't look like he's "looking for answers" at all.
More like , yeah yeah, it must have been rogue killers as you say.
trmp involved in cover-up, even uses same term "rogue killers."
Hit man identified from Turkish records and independent NYTs investigation.
Mubharak or Saudi CIA is directly under MbS.
Moreover, no "US investigation" on ground, as trmp alleges, but that's not surprising, most of what d j t says are lies.

TRMS + Anderson Cooper 360 on Khashoggi "narratives" 10-16-2018

In other words, the story keeps changing.
Is a "botched interrogation" any better.
Al Jazeera has names and photos of 15 member assassination team.
It could not have happened without MbS knowing, in a country as authoritarian as that?
Stay tuned.
I feel so badly for Khashoggi's family and his fiancee.
trmp has to do something more than send Pompeo to meet Saudi king for 15 mins.

Favorable review of my paintings by Louis Jacobson City Paper.
https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/arts/article/13024003/henry-callahan-kyi-may-kaung
TO APRIL 28
Henry Callahan
Kyi May Kaung
Unlike even the most experimental artists who preceded them, the abstract expressionists of the mid-20th century prided themselves on ignoring cues from the tangible world. For them, art was predominantly a way to express their deepest emotions. On first inspection, Henry Callahan's acrylics on canvas—now showing at the Foundry Gallery along with works by Kyi May Kaung—call to mind the works of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. But where those ab-ex giants would channel their emotions, the Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Callahan unabashedly channels nature when making his abstractions: Before the Storm (pictured) calls to mind a sea-and-sky horizon, complete with piscine forms roiling in the ocean. Similarly, Titanium Crescent features cresting waves and vertical strips that approximate undersea vegetation; the dark-hued upper half of Concrete Jungle suggests a deep forest. Kaung's palette is much lighter, though not always cheerier. Her works are a mix of watercolors and monotypes, influenced almost equally by Asian calligraphy and Western action painting: Several of her calligraphic pieces suggest a cacophony of street signs in an urban business district, whereas a number of her inkblot-filled works spin propulsively beyond the matte in the spirit of Jackson Pollock or Franz Kline. But her simplest works are her most pleasing; Courage and Haiku (for DG), feature balletic brushstrokes that cohere in near-perfect harmony. Both artists' works are on view from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday; and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, to Sunday, April 28, at Foundry Gallery, 9 Hillyer Court NW. Free. (202) 387-0203.

Grandpa Kitchen --French fries for 50-100 people.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6RdmyLAuJg
No one compares with this man for Cetana (generosity, charity).
Without even electricity or running water he cooks for his children.
What I like about him and his sons are they are so clean and careful about what they cook, I like their pots and they don't stint on anything.
One commentator wrote something like "Why are you feeding (the orphans) such good food, rice and beans would be adequate, save the money for more important things,"
Which is like saying, "Don't waste cake on them."
But look how happy and healthy the children are.
Give Grandpa a Nobel Prize.
