Congrats @SamDeBrule @kevinthau @sparkcapital!

A well crafted presentation. Best I've seen recently.

But I think you can push it a little further next round.

I run a pitch design studio, and we audited your deck for fun.

Here are 6 opportunities to make it more compelling.

Our story framework informs our recommendations.

We use it to break down content into components.

It's our venture spin on the Story Circle, a timeless structure.

Let's start with the great things you're doing.

World-class type and clever branding elements.

Great data. Clear copy. Thorough.

But we think you could dial up the narrative.

So, the finger-jabbing continues

Meantime, I've spoken to #Consumers abt positive experiences @STN_Airport - plenty of staff & well org they tell me, so why is it so different elsewhere?

Then there's other issues....

We hear of the remarkable pleading to allow foreign workers to come in under special visas which was refused; a free-movement #Brexit issue; an own goal!

But clearly the discussion has been going on for months

@Dav_zavala

The US #press runs a lot of articles discussing the legalities of online gambling and discussions whether online gambling is #legal or not. These discussions will go on for a long time yet but recently a ban on online gambling was put in place for US based players.

journals.eco-vector.com/RCF/comment/vi… Whether or not this helps is hard to say. It certainly helps some but often drives illegal activity into other areas.

The UK on the other hand actively allows legal gambling and actively promotes it

blogfreely.net/agenjoker123/s… as do many other countries. However the UK is rather unique in that it’s taken the bull by the horns and makes a lot of effort in ensuring that the casinos advertising and allowing play by UK players are regulated and properly licensed.

Koubeissi’s candidacy is to ensure that the Alternative Press Syndicate can monitor the elections, as they revealed that there were many violations “most notably that the head of the Order himself is running, as well as supervising the #elections.”

@sfor4th

Are you using the terms #MSM #media #news and #press incorrectly? If so you are hurting #journalism.

And America won’t survive without journalism. 📰 🗞

Thread 🧵:

-what is media? It’s really anything out there: TV, papers, mags, internet. This is an extremely general term. Do not use it, unless you specify which medium. Particularly if you are unhappy with this medium. When you use media in a derogatory manner, you hurt *all* media.

-what is MSM? Who the hell knows. Especially in today’s digital age. Propagandists love using and abusing this term. Be wary of it. See above. Skip usage.

The findings show an absence of a systematic and coordinated plot to take over these schools and an absence of any concerted and deliberate plot to promote radicalisation and violent extremism of Muslim children in these schools or elsewhere

#TrojanHorse

tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

language used to talk about the issues of “radicalisation” & “extremism” is itself the subject of considerable debate (Kundnani 2012; Lynch 2013). There is also a difficulty in understanding fully these issues cos there is a lack of an objective or universally accepted definition

As soon as the media took hold of the allegations, there was huge publicity about the promotion of extremism, radicalisation & terrorism.
At the time, the press also expressed many irrational anxieties about these Muslim majority schools (Arthur 2015). Even though, from the

#MaharashtraGovernment is now used to murders being documented as suicides. I have already made it clear in my letter. I’m very strong. If I’m dead, it can only be a murder. #SSR was killed. He did not get a chance to say this, so I have stated my point much before the event.

I filed a writ in #HighCourt hoping that the judicial system will help. But the court does not find this issue emergency so does not come on board. If I was an actress, It would be easy. The only way left now is to fight alone with the help of public of India #myrightmyfight

@k3vk4

I kinda think it's hillarious that @_SecondThought was intimidated by @DHSgov and shadowbanned by @YouTube re: criticism of the @CIA.

For all the wrong reasons...
[a thread]

For once, it's a chilling effect for anyone, espechally de-facto members of the #press [since @_SecondThought does #journalism, be is part of it] to intimidate them by a govt. agency like @DHSgov.

Not to mention that their accusation, "anti-americanism", is not a crime.

In any reasonable justice system, #NullaPeneSineLege applies, which means the government cannot do anything about something that isn't explicitly outlawed.

And last time I checked voicing criticism of politicans was not, @DHSgov!

@PBCJDC

#IHC in a constitutional petition filed by a #Journalist @ArshadSulahri held that the Director General of the #FIA is expected to formulate guidelines for the investigating officers, having regard to the principles highlighted in the judgment of the august Supreme Court.

It is further expected that the Agency will consider prescribing special guidelines regarding proceedings against persons engaged in the profession of journalism on account of the profound effect on the freedom of press and independence of a journalist when the coercive powers

are abused, giving rise to a perception of retaliation to professional functions performed. In this regard the Agency may
consult the key stake holders.

and members of the Federal Cabinet are elected representatives of the people and
