@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer Hello folks! While I cannot claim to have a solid grasp of all the literature, I can offer some suggestions. A lot has been written, but I agree that there is definitely a need for more study of the evolution of post-WWII US Army doctrinal thinking,
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer Here is a good one: Ben Jensen's Forging the Sword: Doctrinal Change in the U.S. Army
sup.org/books/title/?i…
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer Another is Shimon Naveh's In Pursuit of Military Excellence: The Evolution of Operational Theory amazon.com/Pursuit-Milita…
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer The Army has also sponsored a lot of useful historical research on this, such as Paul Herbert's Deciding What Has To Be Done: General William E. DePuy and the 1976 Edition of FM 100-5, Operations usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl…
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer John Romjue has published several useful monographs, starting with
From Active Defense to Airland Battle: the development of Army Doctrine 1973-1982 cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collec…
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer and The Army of Excellence: The Development of the 1980s Army history.army.mil/html/books/069…
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer and American Army Doctrine for the Post-Cold War history.army.mil/html/books/069…
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer Andrew Bacevich's The Pentomic Era: The Army Between Korea and Vietnam
apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fullte…
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer A really useful place to browse is the Army C&GSC's online Skelton Combined Arms Research Library (CARL). It is loaded with old doctrinal manuals and papers and student theses addressing the nuts and bolts of doctrine. cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer Another good place to browse is the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), which is a huge digital library of government sponsored research. cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer I recommend searches on publications by the Operations Research Office (ORO), Special Operations Research Office (SORO), and the Combat Operations Research Group (CORG), particularly a series of studies of Army force structure from squads to theater HQ's by Virgil Ney.
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer Almost forgot: two other excellent places to browse are the Combat Studies Institute Press pubs on CARL cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/landingpag… and the Center of Military History's pubs history.army.mil/index.html
@warmatters @BA_Friedman @thinkdefence @barefootboomer And one more, John Stockfisch's study on the rise of air-mobility in the Army in the 1960s rand.org/pubs/monograph…

Hello folks. This is @Stupidosaur. I have forgotten password of the @DestroyAadhaar account which was relatively new. Made a confirming tweet from the 'archive' account I used to use before Twitter archive download feature.
Archive account is @Stupido_bot1 as most old followers might know.
First, I had been missing because my computer which was on deathbed went kaput. I did not login because I did not want to login from other people's computers. I am breaking that rule because of nature of very serious new problems.

Hello folks, let’s do this thread on the 3 Ps in business.

People.
Products.
Process.

These are fundamentals in business and you should consider the importance of mastering them very well.

Doing business is really not very difficult if you know the fundamentals.
Business starts from an idea by an individual. You have this idea to invent something new or to innovate on something that already exists.

You begin to think of the right PEOPLE to help you achieve your vision. You do not need just anyone in your business,
You need the right people.

Now how do you know the right people?

You need people who are motivated, passionate and very talented. People who are skilled or trained in specific tasks that will help you achieve your targets.

Talent goes with skills and training.

@toad_spotted From my cursory gross oversimplification of US population history, it seems like in the past, the middle class and the upper middle class were largely stationary, running their town centers, while the proles were highly migratory, chasing the low-skilled jobs across the country.
@toad_spotted If you were a local businessman, farmer, skilled tradesman, or shopkeeper (typical ~1760-1960 middle class), you stayed in one place, ran your business, and got involved with your community, just as your parents did before you and just as your kids did after you.
@toad_spotted But if you didn't have a farm, shop, or other business to inherit (AKA, if you were poor), you were at the economic mercy of the business owners in your own town, and if none of them wanted to hire you, you looked elsewhere for work.

Re: @timberners_lee's #Solid / @SolidMit

Hi @robertscammell!

More interesting that Facebook, I used to work on TheMine!Project*, a highly influential, much-plagiarised & ultimately unsuccessful stab at personal information stores, from 2006-2011.

*themineproject.org
If you want to know my opinion of how @timberners_lee's #Solid will impact "tech giants", watch this video (actually, x3) from 2010; the bulletpoints are:

- facebook killers, aren't
- there's plenty of room for alternatives
- first it must grow

The media loves zero-sum, david/goliath stories, and thereby often causes doom ("ello") & even tragically suicidal levels of stress ("diaspora*") to people who are foolish enough to pitch themselves/their platforms as the antithesis of "social media giantism; so do please beware.

Hello folks. Tomo, there will be bye elections simultaneously in 4 states( Katsina, Cross River, Bauchi and Kogi). As at this moment, we have deployed observers in all four states ( 40).They are ready. @inecnigeria is ready.I am ready. You will not miss anything.That’s a promise.
This pledge I will make to U: we shall report to you exactly what we see. My biases will not taint our reports. As an observer, my job is to report EXACTLY what I see and leave you to reach your own conclusions. When it’s time to make commentaries, I will return to my prejudices.
By the way, @inecnigeria contributes zero kobo to the work of observers beyond accreditation and kits supply. So, we are not beholden to them but to making our institutions work for everyone of us. Keep a date with us starting from 8am tomo 11 /8/2018.

Folks focusing on how Gates helps Mueller get Manafort are missing the forest for the trees. Gates was in a lot of meetings, stayed on as liasion to campaign and RNC after Manafort was fired, worked on inaugural committee. He knows a lot about a lot.
Based on the indictment, it doesn't look like Mueller needs a lot more to get Manafort.
Gates was not a decision-maker or figure in the final two months of the campaign. But he was around and had proximity to key people. Bannon chose to keep him on to avoid more negative stories and they were starved for staff. Others on campaign disagreed w decision
