Nordland and Rubin's indepth NYT account of the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (ISIS) in Syria and Iraq, as a Sunni organization based on money raising capabilities
06/20/2014
The ISIS raises money through various activities including taxes it imposes and collects in territories under its control. This extends to taxes on Christians in Mosul. Other activities include smuggling and money raised from taking oil refineries in Iraq and Syria. Some of the oil in Syria is sold to the Assad regime. Money is also raised from bank vaults such as in Mosul. It also has wealthy backers in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf kingdoms as a result of the Sunni-Shiite conflict.

Thoughts on management practice, culture, from Norway- Are Traasdahl of startup Apad
06/19/2014
Traasdahl describes the "better leg" coaching practice of a soccer coach in his Norwegian home town. Everyone has something that they are better or good at, the key is finding this and helping that person use his skills to best effect at a company. He describes his interviewing approach trying to avoid misunderstood geniuses types and asking people if they though they were lucky, a 7 being about the right level for this question out of a ten- leaving room for extra effort when things don't go your way. He says coming from a small town in Norway meant he had to put in that extra bit of effort to succeed in the competitive environment of the U.S. He is up everday at 4 or 5 am.

Dubai with 67.3 million airline passengers surpasses London's Heathrow in 2013- the huge success of Emirates airline and the strategy initiated in 1985 of making Dubai a major airline hub
06/18/2014
Dubai's central location, and the strategy of turning it into an airline hub pursued since 1985, has resulted in making it the second busiest airport in the world. It is set to surpass Atlanta's Hartzfeld airport, which focusses on domestic U.S. air traffic, in a few years. Dubai was rescued by neighboring Abu Dhabi during the debt crisis of 2008, and there are warnings of another real estate bubble in Dubai. Emirates airline is based in Dubai, and has made gains in market share on international routes hurting other U.S. and European airlines. The effort in Dubai started with a small airport expansion and some older aircraft in 1985.

Plans to cut corporate taxes by 5% and individual income taxes by 12.5% in Spain for 2015-2016, reversing earlier tax increases
06/20/2014
The plan comes as the ruling Partido Popular party faces new parliamentary elections in 2015. This is a significant effort to reverse the austerity measures since 2011. Similiar moves are being made by the new government in Italy to reduce taxes and reverse earlier austerity moves. A new coalition government of the CDU with the Socialist SPD in Germany has created a new climate for these moves to reverse austerity.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
