Here’s my 2018 testimony. Out of many, I’ll share this one.

#thread
In November 2017 I had an idea to produce a masterclass series that would be watched for free by all and paid for by brands that care about educating and enriching people’s lives. I didn’t know any brand that wanted to come on, I wasn’t even looking.
I just knew that if I concentrated on doing a world standard job, the work would speak for itself.

Listen, that was a bit Naive.

January 2018, I went on a limb and bought equipment for shoot: Cameras, lights, etc. I was ready but only two instructors had agreed to do it.

It's time for a new 20TweetTales! This one is a #Scifi story about explorers on a distant planet, inspired by Flora Silve's piece, Astro Ruins.

Captain Raj Arjun pressed the comm button on his suit. "Uh, Reit? I need you over here."
"What is it, sir? More rocks?"
Arjun took a step closer and noticed the faint static filling the background in the audio.

"I'm not sure I can accurately explain what I'm seeing."
Lt. Karen Reit huffed into the comm. "Well, Cap, you could try. Seriously, why couldn't we just get a couple drones to do this?"
"Because those weren't the company's orders."

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

#ಸರಣಿ #thread #trade in #AmaruShataka #ಪಯಣಿಗನನಲ್ಲೆ #ಅಮರುಕ #Amaruka
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.

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

Be very careful about what you read about #AhvazAttack.
There are many fake news, unconfirmed reports, fabricated photos and photos taken for propaganda use.
For example @bbcpersian journalist @BahmanKalbasi claims a group has taken responsibility when it is not true.1/8
.@guardian journalist @SaeedKD mislead public opinion by writing 'children' were killed by 'terrorists'. And when you read his piece you only see there was one child and not children. But what the headline of the article suggests is very different to its context.2/8
Director of Iran project at @CrisisGroup, @AliVaez jumps in to protect Iranian regime and asks US officials to condemn the attack. However, he has never asked US officials before to condemn Iranian regime for arresting, raping, torturing and executing political prisoners.3/8

Quite amusing that the north-south debate over public finances has been taking place with complete disregard to Public Finance theory itself. Guess it shouldn't be surprising but let me attempt anyways.. #thread
First of all, I'm no expert in the subject. Much of what I know comes from a few textbooks and by listening to Gurus like Dr M Govinda Rao. All mistakes are my own and I'll be happy to learn if I'm going wrong somewhere.
Now any federal system faces one issue. States have more responsibilities but their earnings are less. Which means the only way they can work is by depending on money transfers from the union.
