Our new research with @BritainThinks
looks at UK public perceptions of innovation and technology. Who do they think benefits from innovation and what problems should it address? Key findings include...(1/6) nesta.org.uk/report/uk-gett…
Participants were preoccupied with an uncertain future - 66% feel there is no consensus on a post Brexit future and 62% feel they have no opportunity to shape the long-term future of the country
There is a perception that not everyone benefits equally from innovation. There are clear ‘winners’ (younger people,higher earners, graduates) and ‘losers’ (older people, lower earners, people who are unemployed).

Gov N E Wike Information.
@GovWike
It is with gratitude to God that I announce to you that our State would have been infected with coronavirus yesterday, but for the vigilance of security agents who, acting on a tip- off prevented an infected person from boarding a flight from Abuja to Port Harcourt.
#COVIDー19
The infected person beat all security measures that were put in place at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and Abuja and was to sneak into Port Harcourt before security agents stopped her.

#COVIDー19
Based on this alarming Information, the State Security Council met yesterday and reviewed measures already put in place and decided that there was urgent need to adopt stringent measures to protect those living and doing business in the state from the virus.

Liz Wheeler joins After Hours to discuss our differing #COVIDー19 coverage on @OANN:

@Liz_Wheeler: "People need to be clear-eyed, empowered and deputized to press politicians on the premise they're building policies on to make sure its worth the economic damage." (1/5)
I've looked at what's happened in other countries and what public health officials say about #COVIDー19.

@Liz_Wheeler: "We aren't a one-to-one comparison with Italy for many reasons. From the age of our population, to the underlying health conditions of their population." (2/5)
People would say the whole point of social distancing during #COVIDー19 is to make sure we don't overwhelm our healthcare system.

@Liz_Wheeler: "When you're looking at what politicians are doing ... you have to ask, 'Does the reaction match the reality of what we face?'" (3/5)

Happy Mother’s Day 🏡❤️ I’m writing a thread this morning about my concerns as an Autistic mum of an Autistic young person (plural ) during #COVIDー19 and why both my lived experiences and professional experiences lead me to believe #Autistic of all ages are sadly “high risk”
Before I begin it’s an important disclaimer that I am NOT a medical professional,and although I help boards of a social and medical nature ,this is a ponder and insight sharing of my professional support and advocacy life and my personal insights from a personal perspective...
When we see higher risk lists ,We often see Leraning Disability as higher risk . Many Autistic people have no LD but also many also have LD . Many have great abilities /jobs and areas of LD , the term LD isn’t black and white for Autistic people as our profiles are “Spikey “ ...

Kerala HC Slaps 50K Costs On Man Who Moves Court Seeking Home Delivery Of Liquor In View Of COVID 19 Outbreak [Read Judgment] livelaw.in/news-updates/o…
One cannot help but lament at the selfishness of the petitioner in the instant case, and others like him in Society, whose obsession with perceived “rights” blinds them to the obligatory 'duty' that they owe to their fellow citizens: HC
The petitioner's conduct in filing this frivolous petition at a time like this, while making a mockery of the salutary concept of access to justice, which this institution strives to guarantee, also ridicules the functioning of this noble institution: HC

Pawprints Dog Rescue (UK)
@PDRescue
#Covidー19uk Statement

Pawprints Dog Rescue was first set up as a charity in 2012 with the primary aim to save the lives of stray dogs abandoned at local pounds. We will continue to do our utmost to meet any demands in the almost surreal situation that we find ourselves in, as
long as we can meet the financial obligation this will place on us from the highly likely increase of abandonment due to fear, illness or very sadly, death; that we can provide the kennel space and ensure that we have back up plans in place in case of mass self-isolation or
illness of staff at kennels or volunteers; we promise to try our hardest to save as many dogs lives as we possibly can. However, this may become impossible and people should prepare themselves for this eventuality. We expect that most of the larger rescue centres will cease

MULTIDIMENSIONAL POVERTY is not the new buzz word, it is the holistic approach by which the concept of #poverty is measured.

Your President
Your Governors
Your Lawmakers
Your Ministers
Your Commissioners
Your Special Advisers

...should pay attention to it

#Thread
Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measures #Poverty on three general dimensions:

1. Health
2. Education
3. Living Standards

These 3 dimensions are further broken down into 10 Indicators that are easily measurable.
The Ten MPI Indicators:
1 Nutrition
2 Child Mortality
3 Years of Schooling
4 School Attendance
5 Cooking Fuel
6 Sanitation
7 Water
8 Electricity
9 Floor
10 Asset

The Sustainable Development Goals #SDGs provide direction on how to implement measures to reduce poverty.
