Just three months after raising an enormous sum of money from investors, Uber is at it again. Uber, a ride-hailing service, is planning to raise close to $1 billion in new venture capital from investors, according to people close to the matter. Investors are looking at a valuation of $60 billion to $70 billion. If successful, the round of fund-raising would make Uber the world’s most valuable private start-up by far. A round this summer valued the company at more than $50 billion, a bit more than Facebook was valued at after its last big round of private capital fund-raising in 2011. The furious pace at which Uber has been raising money is every bit as eye-popping as its soaring valuations.

Sant’Elpidio a Mare, Italy SOMETHING wasn’t right about the black sport shoes that Diego Della Valle wore on a recent stroll around the sleek campus and factory that form the heart of the Tod’s luxury shoe empire here. “I don’t like the way they feel,” declares Mr. Della Valle, the chairman of Tod’s, stopping mid-stride to study his feet more closely. “It’s the part around the toes,” he says. “It needs to be rounder.” Mr. Della Valle does things the old-fashioned way: by instinct. To find out if a new style of shoes will work in the marketplace, he doesn’t need focus groups or poll testing — he wears them. After a few days, if they’re not to his liking, he renders his verdict: “These won’t go into production.” Despite running Tod’s like a traditional, Old World family business, Mr. Della Valle has turned it into a successful multinational, multibillion-dollar company, whose buttery leather moccasins adorn the feet of Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, Gwyneth Paltrow and thousands … [Read more...] about A Shoemaker That Walks but Never Runs

A study from Queen Mary University in London, determined that liberals use more profanity on Twitter than conservatives. Researchers determined their results by studying over 300,000 followers of official Democratic and Republican Party accounts to find differences in language between people of opposing political leanings. Researchers concluded that liberals were more likely to use swear words because they tended to be more emotionally expressive than conservatives. Among the top words that liberals used were “shit” and “fuck” along with “happy,” “like,” “feel,” and “amaze,” researchers discovered. Additionally liberals were more likely to tweet about pop culture as words such as, “world cup,” “nene,” and “album,” appeared frequently on liberal accounts. On the flip side, researchers discovered that conservatives used language that tended to reflect their identity with worlds like “god,” “psalm,” “America,” “country,” and “border.” Additionally names that Republicans tend … [Read more...] about Liberals Swear More On Twitter According to Study
