Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin One of the unexpected stars of Russia’s Army-22 trade show was a robot dog dressed as a ninja and carrying an RPG-26 rocket launcher . However, the Twittersphere quickly spotted that the outfit looked like an attempt to conceal a Go-1 robot made by Chinese company Unitree, and the killer robodog was quickly labeled as a fake. But there is more going on here than you might think. Firstly, the Russian makers of the “M-81 robot” seem to be open about the fact that they use Chinese hardware, though they say they hope to produce a Russian version. The company, Machine Intellect, is based in St. Petersburg, and says their robot dogs could transport supplies, act as scouts, and carry out attack missions. On the face of it then, we have a company adapting commercially available robotic hardware to take on a new role, with no reason not to believe that far from being a fake, it is a viable combat platform. … [Read more...] about Russia’s ‘Fake’ Robot Gun Dog — And The Real Armed Robots

Jim Collins is the poet of management thinking. In classic books like Built to Last and Good to Great , he has rendered big ideas as memorable phrases and metaphors--"BHAGs" and "clock-building" and "hedgehogs"--all in the interest of explaining what makes great companies tick. Among his most evocative images is the flywheel: a circular sequence of actions or conditions, each emerging naturally from the one before it, that companies turn slowly at first but then faster and faster until its momentum carries them to greatness. Eighteen years after the flywheel appeared in Good to Great , Collins is back with a new monograph, Turning the Flywheel (HarperBusiness). Collins spoke with Inc. about misapprehensions of the flywheel, his new research interests, and his affection for entrepreneurs. Inc. : Why revisit the flywheel specifically? Collins: When you articulate principles, even if you are the first to uncover them, your understanding is not … [Read more...] about This Is What Puts Companies on the Path to Greatness, According to a Famous Management Guru

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Jackline Cherono walks in from tending to her acre of tea in Ainamoi, a settlement in Kenya's Kericho County where she works as a lead farmer. The lettering, “Toror Tea Factory” embroidered on her iridescent yellow jumpsuit pops out against the vibrant greens of dense Camellia sinensis leaves. Jackline’s confident, wise and upbeat personality disguises the burden of grief that she has carried since the loss of her father to leukemia and her mother to high blood pressure just a few years ago. The death of both of her parents to non-communicable diseases was life-changing, giving Jackline no choice but to prematurely conclude her studies at Jomo Kenyatta University, where she had been studying public health.

- A + A WASHINGTON (Aug 18): While the U.S. securities regulator is likely to examine Elon Musk's tweet in which he joked about buying New York-listed soccer club Manchester United, legal experts say that on its face the crack is unlikely to land him in hot water. Musk, the world's richest person, briefly lifted the gloom over the club's shares by tweeting on Tuesday: "I'm buying Manchester United ur (sic) welcome," to his 103 million followers, adding later that it was a "joke." Even so, the 51-year-old Tesla CEO's musings ignited Manchester United shares, which briefly jumped as much as 17% in after hours trading before ending Wednesday at $13.67, nearly 7% on Tuesday's close. Known for his unconventional and irreverent style, Musk has a history of moving stocks and cryptocurrencies with his tweets and has been locked in a feud with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) since tweeting in 2018 that he had funding secured to take Tesla private when the … [Read more...] about Musk’s ‘joke’ ManU tweet unlikely to land him regulator’s red card -legal experts

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erodgan warned the Trump administration on Sunday against imposing sanctions over a jailed American pastor, saying that the U.S. could end up losing Turkey as an ally. “The U.S. should not forget that it could lose a strong and sincere partner like Turkey if it does not change its attitude,” Erdogan said in an interview with TRT, a government-controlled news organization. “Instead of respecting the decision of the judiciary, they are making this a matter of sanctions against Turkey,” Erdogan added. “You cannot make Turkey step back with sanctions.” “They need to know the following: we are not tied with an umbilical cord to the U.S.,” said Erdogan, adding that “The change in attitude is Trump’s problem, not mine.” Erdogan was responding to President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence’s threats Thursday to slap sanctions on Turkey if the NATO nation does not release Andrew Brunson from house arrest.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Holy turnabout, Batman. Since early 2021, the U.S. has gone from having indoor face mask wearing requirements to dropping many such requirements to what can be seen in the latest update of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) K-12 Schools and Early Care and Education (ECE) Programs guidelines . The CDC is now recommending that “Schools and ECE programs should consider flexible, non-punitive policies and practices to support individuals who choose to wear masks regardless of the Covid-19 Community Level.” Now it’s not clear whether the “consider flexible non-punitive policies and practices” was referring to not punishing those who “choose to wear masks” or not punishing those who hassle people who “choose to wear masks.” Lucky Tran, PhD, an organizer for the March for Science and a science communicator at Columbia University, seemed to take it the former way when tweeting the following: As you can … [Read more...] about What New CDC Covid-19 School Guidelines Says About Bullying Face Mask Wearers
