Thread: Millennial migration is redrawing the map of America on.ft.com/2KmhVgl
1/ Proximity to the traditional centres of finance, tech or industry is less important to the millennial generation than access to an attractive quality of life and a community of like-minded people. Few places tell this story better than Denver on.ft.com/2KmhVgl Francesco Spitaleri and Aliaksandra Spitaleri at the City O' City restaurant in Denver, ColoradoRobert Mitchell at East High School in Denver, ColoradoBrandé Micheau at the Prodigy Coffee shop in Denver, ColoradoCo-Founders of RampUp Jason Ayachi and Morgan O’Malley at the WeWork cowering space in Denver, Colorado
2/ The Colorado capital may not, yet, be the centre of the universe — but its middle-of-the-country location, affordable universities, plentiful jobs and easy access to the Rockies have drawn tens of thousands of millennials in recent years on.ft.com/2KmhVgl

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

Do you have any 25k, 50k or 100k in your bank account that you are not using? Do you know you can earn extra income by investing that 25k, 50k or 100k? I’ll tell you how. #Thread 😊
In the last couple of years, I have tried to diversify my income stream. Besides earning salary as a Lecturer in one of the top UK Universities, I also try my hands on a few legit businesses, which we refer to side-hustles☺️
Beside these side hustles, I also have a few investments that yields very good interest at the end of every year. One of such is an investment in a Money Market Fund.

ಸಿಂಧೂ ಸರಸ್ವತಿ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯ ನಗರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಮತ್ತು ಮಧ್ಯಪೂರ್ವ ದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಉತ್ಖನನ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ದೊರೆತ ಆಧಾರಗಳಿಂದ ೪೦೦೦ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆಯೇ ಈ ಎರಡೂ ಭಾಗಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರ ವ್ಯವಹಾರಗಳಿದ್ದದ್ದು ತಿಳಿದು ಬಂದಿದೆ.

ಇದೇ ರೀತಿ, ಸುಮಾರು ೧೮೦೦ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಒಂದು ಗ್ರೀಕ್ ನಾಟಕದದಲ್ಲೇ ಕನ್ನಡ ಅಥವಾ ಕನ್ನಡದಂತಹ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಕೆಲವು ಪದಗಳು ಕಂಡು ಬಂದಿರುವುದನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ, ವಿದ್ವಾಂಸರು ಭಾರತದ ಪಶ್ಚಿಮ ಕರಾವಳಿಗೂ, ಗ್ರೀಸ್, ರೋಮ್ ಮೊದಲಾದ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಗಳ ನಡುವೆಯೂ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರ ಸಂಬಂಧಗಳು ಇದ್ದಿರಬೇಕೆಂದು ಊಹಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಸಿಂಧೂ ನಾಗರಿಕತೆಯ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರದ ಕುರುಹುಗಳನ್ನು ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದ ಆಕಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಡುಕಲಾಗಲಾರದಾದರೂ, ಸುಮಾರು ೨೩೦೦ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಕೌಟಿಲ್ಯನ ಅರ್ಥಶಾಸ್ತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿವ್ಯಾಪಾರಗಳು, ಸುಂಕ, ಊರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂತಹ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆ ಇರಬೇಕು ಮೊದಲಾದ ವಿಷಯಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾಪವಿದೆ.

Tragically what the #CorruptGOP doesn't seem to get is that because they are not dealing in facts, & they are propagating falsehoods to their base, an entire generation of Republican voters, workers, apparachik's at every level; the U.S.A. loses ultimately. There are
People basing real decisions, at real jobs- both public & private sector-on false information. We have the most powerful military, biggest Economy, in the most industrialized nation in the world making Domestic & Foreign Policy based on fasle information.
This can & will end only one of two ways. Either we reverse course before catastrophic consequence or we experience what could be the most catastrophic multi-national event that has occurred since WW2 & the most grave consequences since our Nation's inception nearly 300 yrs ago.

#Thread Here's an incredible story about a young man who was busy with loading and unloading in #KeralaFloods relief centres. Only days later people came to know that he was none other than, Kannan Gopinathan, the Collector of Dadra & Nagar Haveli! (1/n)
He travelled in KSRTC buses and covered 5 districts in 10 days without revealing identity. He took leave for serving his homeland in the time of crisis. Kannan is a native of Kottayam. Even his relatives were not aware of his unofficial visit! (2/n)
It was only after Eranakulam Collector Y.Safirulla's visit to centre at KBPS press, the volunteers of the camp came to know that the guy who was helping in loading goods was an IAS officer! (3/n)

(Thread) Why Manafort’s financial crimes matter.

Spoilers: His financial crimes are part of the march of America's radical right's toward a Russian-type oligarchy in the US.

His crimes matter because other would-be American oligarchs are doing the same.
cnn.com/2018/08/13/pol…
1/ Definition: Oligarchy is when a few wealthy people hold all the power.

In this lecture 👇 historian & Yale prof. Timothy Snyder talks about oligarchy. He explains that Russia became an oligarchy in the chaos after the breakup of the Soviet Union.
2/ In Soviet Russia, all assets were centralized under the control of the government.

When the Soviet government broke up, Rule of Law was not firmly in place, so a few people were able to gain control of the nation's assets & industries.
