LET MY PEOPLE GO! Interview with director Mikael Buch by Jess Byers
Hailing from a new wave of optimistic queer filmmakers, Mikael Buch gives us an outrageously hilarious gay comedy with Let My People Go! The tale of a young man who, after being given a bag filled with thousands of euros, is kicked out of his house by his sexy Finnish boyfriend and forced to move back in with his eccentric Jewish family in Paris.
Melting together an American sense of comedic timing and a European style of surrealistic family comedy, Buch successfully brings forth a slew of stereotypes (Gay, Jewish, Finnish, French, Etc…) while breaking international comedic boundaries. A film that is sure to leave you with a smile on your face and a possible guilt for avoiding those calls from Mom.
I spoke with Mikael on the film and his views on some of the issues that are facing Queer Europeans today.

KEEP THE LIGHTS ON Soundtrack Released Today by Daniel Quinn
The soundtrack for Keep The Lights On is out now in association with Audika Records and available for purchase on iTunes today. The album, which received a write up on Pitchfork, is composed entirely of music from the iconic New York musician Arthur Russell.
New York City has been home to some of the most important names and movements in the history of American music. From the whiskey soaked compositions of Stephen Foster to the fast-paced/short-lived bouts of noise of the No Wave scene, New York has produced countless musicians who have left their incredibly influential and indubitably permanent mark on music. But for every musician or band that made their mark, there innumerable others who spent their lives devoted to writing and producing music in New York without their name or work garnering them attention or praise. Arthur Russell narrowly avoided this all-too-common fate.
Girl/Girl Scene: Because People Love Lesbians by S.J. Horwitz
Tucky Williams is a woman who wears many hats.
A former indie movie horror queen and meteorologist, she is now the head writer, producer, and lead actress of one of the most popular lesbian web series today, Girl/Girl Scene. (Oh, and did I mention she's a yoga instructor, too?) Now in its second season, Girl/Girl Scene follows the lives and loves of a group of young lesbians in Lexington, Kentucky. Williams plays the charismatic, confident, and promiscuous Evan – the central figure around which the show's complicated network of hookups and relationships revolves.
Williams claims to have little in common with her wild character, but has revealed her own alluring charm and sense of humor during her time in the spotlight. Though the first episode was produced with literally no budget, it soon went viral, catching the attention of AfterEllen.com, Curve, and other big names in the lesbian blogosphere – not to mention financial backers. I asked Williams what she thought might be the secret to the show's straight shot to the top.
"It's because people love lesbians," she says matter-of-factly in our email interview. "If everyone put lesbians in their shows, they would all be successful."

The Fagettes: Hair, 'Tude, and Guitar by S.J. Horwitz
Love it or hate it, the name of Boston-based punk band "The Fagettes" is sure to start a conversation.
And that's exactly the reaction they're going for.
Formed in 2010 by Melanie Bernier and Ryan Major, The Fagettes have already stirred up plenty of buzz in the Boston underground music scene and beyond. Their catchy, lo-fi rock sound and retro style may call back to the '60s and '70s, but The Fagettes's unique fun and flair is all their own.

Our Man In Tribeca: A Fish Out of Water at the TFF by Ira Sachs
A film festival is really nothing more than a community gathering, a selective, economically defined, cultural experience that in many ways is just as sociologically constructed as the neighborhood bar, or the set of people assembled on the A train, or a group of friends gathered at the Piers. The New York Film Festival looks very much like one neighborhood, one anthropologically gathered group of humans; Rooftop Films' summer film series another; MIX NYC a third, Human Rights Watch a very different other.
For this year's Tribeca Film Festival, Keep the Lights On has asked writer and man-about-town Ioannis Pappos — himself a fish out of water from Pelio, Greece — to keep his own eye on the goings ons at Tribeca from a very human perspective. What's going on here, during these 10 days in April? Which New York do we see here? In a continuation of the sites interest in understanding New York as an organism made up of stories, join us for the next few two weeks as we see the Tribeca Film Festival through the eyes of one astute outsider.


Every year, I grow plants that I have grown before which I really like--and each year I try new plants. Here are three plants which I grew last year that I will be sure to grow again this year!

I'm feeling like it's time to get a bit more Outlaw Country feel going on. Bunch of songs coming together to record in 2019 and maybe put a new band together doing hard edged country and my solo material – working title, still Bates Motel.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing some of you on the road.

Маккуорі () — острів в південній частині Тихого океану, найпівденніша точка Австралії.

Постійного населення на острові, що знаходиться під юрисдикцією австралійського штату Тасманія, немає. Проте, острів часто відвідується вченими. Крім того, існує австралійська антарктична станція Маккуорі-Айленд, де працюють залежно від сезону від 25 до 40 співробітників.

Географія
Знаходиться за 1,5 тис.км на південний схід від Тасманії, надводна частина однойменного океанічного вулканічного хребта площею близько 120 км² і висотою до 420 метрів над рівнем моря. Поблизу Маккуорі знаходиться невеликий архіпелаг — острова Бішоп-енд-Кларк.

Клімат
Клімат на острові вологий субантарктичний з сильними вітрами. Середньомісячні температури коливаються від +3,4°С до +7,1 °C (середньорічна +4,9 °C). Кількість опадів — 912 мм на рік, в основному, у вигляді мряки та впродовж всього року.

Історія
Відкритий в 1810 році капітаном шхуни Фредеріком Хасселборо. В 1820 році острів відвідала відома експедиція Ф. Ф. Беллінсгаузена. Названий острів на честь відомого генерал-губернатора британської колонії Новий Південний Уельс Лаклана Маккуорі.

Флора і фауна

Рослинний світ представлений тільки трав'янистою рослинністю, в основному осоками і туссоком. Зрідка зустрічається ендемічна для субантарктичних островів капуста Маккуорі (Stilbocarpa polaris, род. аралієві). На північному краю острови — лежбища морських слонів. На узбережжі колонії пінгвінів — королівського (Aptenodytes patagonicus), африканського (Spheniscus demersus), субантрактичного (Pygoscelis papua) і ендемічного пінгвіна Маккуорі (Eudyptes schlegeli), званого також «рокхоппером», — тобто «стрибуном по скелях». У водах біля острова водяться кити. У прибережних водах — хащі крупних бурих водоростей (Lessonia spp.)

Острів населений і птахами. До 1890 року на острові мешкав ендемічний підвид папуги Cyanoramphus navazelandiae erythrotis, зниклий після завезення на острів кішок. Також поширені і альбатроси.

Як результат впливу на природу людини, на острові були розселені кролі і коти. Якщо в 2002 році коти були оголошені знищеними, то популяція кроликів оцінюється близько 100 тисяч осіб. Їх знищення тільки планується.

Світова спадщина
Оголошений заповідником в 1978 році і Всесвітньою спадщиною ЮНЕСКО в 1997 році.

Природні явища

Див. Землетрус 23 грудня 2004 р. на півночі о.Маккуорі

Hundreds of millions of smartphone owners worldwide may be leaving sensitive data on their phones without knowing which subsequent users could exploit for financial gain or identity theft.
The problem occurs because of a bug in the 'factory reset' option of Android smartphones leaves sensitive data on the phone, despite the user's attempts to delete the information.
It is considered best practice to perform a factory reset of your phone before selling it, so that the next owner cannot access your data. The bug is estimated to affect more than 500 million Android devices worldwide, including models sold in Australia.
This recently discovered bug allowed security researchers to recover data on supposedly wiped smartphones. The researchers retrieved important login information from the smartphones, allowing them to log in, sync user contacts, and read other data left on the devices by the previous owners.
The bug is believed to be present on many types and models of Android smartphones, although the list of exact models affected has not yet been established. Android versions between 2.3 (Gingerbread) and 4.3 (Jelly Bean) were found to allow access to data after the device was supposedly wiped. It is not yet known whether the latest versions of Android are affected.
The factory reset option on smartphones is designed to remove all of the data that the user has put on the phone, including photos, emails, apps and passwords to sensitive sites and restore it to the factory settings.
Enabling and using full hard drive encryption on your smartphone provides the best protection for your data. Newer Android phones should give you the option to perform hard drive encryption when you first set up your phone. If you wish to apply hard drive encryption to your phone, seek advice from your smartphone vendor as the steps vary between models.
If you have highly sensitive data, you should consider not selling or giving away your old smartphone. Instead, you may wish to seek technical advice on destroying the device, including its hard disk.
If you still plan on selling it or giving it away then still perform the factory reset.


With Earth Day upon us, now is a great time to take a minute to reflect on what you and your family can do to encourage environmental protection right from your own home all year around. The themes for Earth Day 2017 are environmental and climate literacy.
I was lucky enough to speak all things green with the inspirational Lisa Bronner - environmental activist, green Mum and granddaughter to the founder of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, Dr. Emanuel Bronner himself. If you don't know of the company already, Dr Bronner's makes organic fair trade soaps and personal care products and is a family business committed to making socially and environmentally responsible products of the highest quality and dedicating our profits to help make a better world. As I found out, they are the real deal and do really walk the walk.
1. "Kids don't believe what we say as much as what they see, so get them outdoors and give them first hand experiences".
Relate your discussion to a place or environment that your children know well. It can be as simple as taking your kids for a walk along the River Thames & discussing flood risks. 60% of the borough of Hammersmith & Fulham is deemed at risk but parts of other boroughs north of the Thames were also found to be in danger, including Newham, Tower Hamlets and Barking and Dagenham. As Lisa says, "your kids need to know that even at their young age, that they can do something about it".
2. Educate your kids about organic methods of growing. We can introduce our kids to issues like ecosystems, biosynthesis and permaculture in easy ways in our own gardens and this doesn't matter how old your kids are. Let your kids get their hands dirty and plant a garden using worms and compost instead of petrochemical fertilisers.They can use natural pest control like ladybugs to combat aphids rather than powders and toxic pesticides. Simple steps like this can really make a difference and teach your children about the cycle of life firsthand. Growing a natural garden, particularly if you've grown fruit or veggies is self rewarding - you will have beautiful tasty produce as well as having looked at your local ecosystem while introducing the concepts of sustainability and being self sufficient.
Try growing sunflowers, lettuce, snow peas, cherry tomatoes and strawberries which are relatively easy to grow, have short growing seasons and are fun to harvest.
3. Talk openly about the broader issues. The way in which you do this will be entirely dependent on the age of your children and their knowledge, but keep it relevant to them and their interests. Lisa says we need to "get your kids to look beyond their own little spheres and take in what's going on around the world".
If your kids are really interested in animals then you can look at the disappearance of the ice caps and the consequences on the polar bear habitats. Show your kids maps with the ever-expanding dead zones in our oceans where the water is so depleted of oxygen that fish and other sea life near the ocean floor can't survive. Talk to them about human interventions like crop fertiliser and the high levels of nitrogen and phosphorous that have been washed out to the ocean, causing these dead zones. The solutions to these dead zones are finding better sewage systems, better practises of chemical disposal and using less fertiliser which may be beyond the remit of your family home, but education is the basis for change and progress so by informing and empowering your kids, you are already making a huge difference.
Dr Bronner's Magic Soap is involved in an amazing initiative called the Project Green Challenge which is an opportunity for university and high school students around the globe (including the UK) to change the world in 30 days through environmentally themed challenges.


Juggling your gym time with your relationships, career, hobbies, chores and moments of self-care is no small task. But while it's not possible to increase the amount of hours in the day, it is possible to use the time you have to exercise more efficiently. Here's how.
For a more effective workout, science suggests that you choose dynamic moves that reflect what you're about to do. For example, in one study, people who were about to squat prepared by doing some light squats and leg extensions beforehand. They were able to squat with 8.36% more weight than if they had done more generic, less-targeted stretches.
We all love listening to music - but did you know that it can actually improve the quality of your workout? Studies show that music enhances your performance during exercise (particularly with repetitive activities such as running), and can moreover reduce your perception of how hard you're working, making it easier to up your effort levels.
Your workouts will show much larger results if your body's in peak shape - which means you must give yourself ample time to relax in-between gym sessions. Why? Every time you push yourself, your muscles break down and accumulate microscopic tears, which need to be rebuilt with sleep and rest. To perform at 100%, then, you must take care of yourself.
It's been shown that couples have a big influence on each other's healthy behaviours - including getting fitter. Involving a friend or partner in your workouts will increase your accountability, sharpen your focus and make your time at the gym all the more worthwhile.
Try high intensity interval training - otherwise known as HIIT - once a week. These are fierce sessions in which you exercise for extreme, short bursts, separated by small recovery periods. These take much less time than your regular workouts as they involve so much effort (you'll be exhausted after 10 minutes!), but you'll burn more calories and strengthen your target muscles at an astounding rate.
Make sure you're constantly nearing your goals by mixing up your workout on a regular basis. This'll keep both your mind engaged and body working at its hardest. Conversely, if you're always doing the same exercises, your body can 'adapt', putting in less effort as you exercise and therefore halting your progress.
Working out on an empty stomach is never a pretty picture. You run the risk of feeling fatigued, dizzy or nauseated - and are more likely to injure yourself, too. To make sure you keep your energy levels high and body fighting fit, enjoy something quick and carb-y before you head to the gym, like a granola bar or some oatmeal.
Our Holmes Place personal trainers make every second count. They can help you plan an achievable workout routine that'll push you towards your goals, give you advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle based on your individual requirements and provide support around the clock. Find out more here.

"There are numerous manufacturers of fly boxes on the market. All very well made along the spectrum of cost. I was searching for some a little more unique.
One weekend while browsing the local antique store I came across a "tin" that used to hold pipe tobacco. Due to the character and printing on the container, the DIY wheels began to turn.
I cut a piece of foam the size of the container and hot glued it to the bottom the tin to keep it secure and a place to hold the flies. I prefer one with an attached lid so there's one less thing to deal with on the stream. It measures approximately 1 x 3 x 4 inches and fits nicely in a shirt pocket.
Not only does this make a good fly box but, should you have one that belonged to your grandfather, a place to hold memories."
Yeah, I like them too. They're the perfect size if you know you're only going to sneak in a few hours fishing.
That's pretty cool. I've seen a few similar to this one. Would make a nice display also.
I agree. Would look good in any fishermen's den or fly tying bench.
No problem Bill. It's definitely all you'd need to hold a dozen or so confidence flies.
Tins never stop being useful. Perfect for toting flies for sure.

The Buell Boost was the training car for the Harley-Davidson Rider's Side New Rider Program from 2000 until May 2014, when the company re-branded working out academy and began using the Harley-Davidson Street 500 motorcycles. In those 14 years, significantly more than 350,000 members in the program realized to drive on the Buell Blast.
On March 15, 2009, Harley-Davidson Inc. issued the official statement so it will be discontinuing the Buell line and ceasing creation immediately.[76] The said reason was to concentrate on the Harley-Davidson brand. The business refused to consider selling Harley-davidson Recall List Buell. Founder Erik Buell eventually established Erik Buell Racing and extended to manufacture and develop the business's 1125RR racing motorcycle.
Motorcycle motors
1,450 cc V-twin
Main article: Harley-Davidson motor schedule
The common Harley-Davidson engines are V-twin motors, with a 45° perspective between the cylinders. The crankshaft includes a single pin, and equally pistons are related to the pin through their connecting rods.
This 45° viewpoint is covered under a few United States patents and is a design tradeoff that allows a large, high-torque engine in a comparatively small space. It triggers the cylinders to fire at unequal times and provides the choppy "potato-potato" sound so firmly linked to Fuelpak Fp3 For Harley-davidson 66005a the Harley-Davidson brand.
To simplify the motor and minimize fees, the V-twin ignition was made to use with just one set of items and number distributor. This is recognized as a twin fireplace ignition system, producing equally spark plugs to fire regardless of which cylinder was on their pressure swing, with another ignite select shooting on their cylinder's exhaust stroke, effortlessly "wasting a spark ".The exhaust note is basically a throaty barking noise with some popping. The 45° style of the engine therefore generates a connect shooting sequencing therefore: The initial tube fires, the second (rear) cylinder shoots 315° later, then there's a 405° space Harley Bikes 2018 until the first cylinder fires again, providing the engine their special sound.[102]
Harley-Davidson has used numerous ignition systems through the duration of their record – be it the early factors and condenser system, (Big Double up to 1978 and Sportsters around 1978), magneto ignition process utilized on some 1958 to 1969 Sportsters, early digital with centrifugal mechanical improve weights, (all models 1978 and a half to 1979), or the late electric with transistorized ignition control component, more familiarly known as the dark field or the mind, (all models 1980 to present).
Starting in 1995, the business presented Digital Fuel Injection (EFI) as an choice for the Harley-davidson Store Close To Me 30th anniversary model Electra Glide. EFI became standard on all Harley-Davidson bikes, including Sportsters, upon the introduction of the 2007 solution line.
In 1991, Harley-Davidson started initially to take part in the Noise Quality Functioning Group, established by Orfield Labs, Bruel and Kjaer, TEAC, Yamaha, Sennheiser, SMS and Cortex. This is the nation's first party to share study on mental acoustics. Later that year, Harley-Davidson participated in a series of sound quality reports at Orfield Laboratories, centered on tracks taken at the Talladega Superspeedway, with the target to reduce the noise level for EU requirements while analytically acquiring the "Harley Noise".[citation needed] That research led
to the bikes that have been presented in submission with EU standards for 1998.
On Feb 1, 1994, the business registered an audio trademark application for the special sound of the Harley-Davidson bike engine: "The level contains the fatigue noise of applicant's motorcycles, created by V-twin, common crankpin bike motors when the goods come in use ".Seven of Harley-Davidson's opponents submitted remarks other the application form, arguing that cruiser-style motorcycles of various brands work with a single-crankpin V-twin motor which create a similar sound. These questions were accompanied by litigation. In July 2000, the organization slipped initiatives to federally register their trademark.

Webinar Series: "Interactions between tributary creeks and main channels in estuaries" (September 22 @6PM)
This month we present the webinar "Interactions between tributary creeks and main channels in estuaries", given by Adrian Garcia and Collin Ortals.

About the webinar
We present results from two separate field studies investigating the interactions between tributary creeks and the main channel in tidal marsh creek networks. In one study, a field study using moorings, shipboard measurements, and drone surveys were conducted to characterize and quantify the dispersion due to the exchange process between the main channel of an estuary and its tributary creeks. This oscillatory exchange mechanism – often called tidal trapping – contributes to dispersion because of the tidal phase difference in currents between the main channel and the creeks, and this phase difference can be enhanced by density-driven flows in the creeks. The impact of this exchange process on the salinity structure of the main channel is examined and a dispersion rate due to the trapping mechanism is calculated empirically from the field measurements. Notably, this dispersion rate is larger than theoretical estimates that neglect the role of the exchange flow and the resulting stratification in the creeks.
In the second study, acoustic Doppler velocimeters, pressure sensors, and water pumps were deployed in three intertidal creeks within a confined marsh drainage basin to understand the flow and transport patterns within a contiguous marsh segment. These intertidal creeks terminate in the marsh platform where there is strong heterogeneity in both plant and animal types and abundances. Field data revealed that within the confined basin, the tidal and suspended sediment transport varied in both directionalities (i.e. flood or ebb dominant) and in magnitude between creeks, which depended on tidal amplitude. Estimates of drag in the creeks revealed a similar stage-drag pattern within creeks, where the effective drag (i.e. drag from landscape, vegetation, and 'integrated' effects) exceeded the bed drag by 3-12 times depending on tidal stage and phase. Together, these findings suggest that the main channel flow patterns may exert more influence on the intertidal creek flows. The consequence of this important coupling can lead to heterogeneity in the spatial and vertical evolution of marshes that are not typically captured in long-term marsh evolution models.
About the Keynote Speakers
Adrian M. Garcia
MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Applied Ocean Science & Oceanography
Adrian is an NSF Graduate Research Fellow in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program with a research focus on Environmental Fluid Mechanics in the coastal zone. Prior to starting his PhD, he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Pittsburgh where he studied Civil Engineering and graduated summa cum laude. In his thesis research, he uses a combination of field measurements and numerical modelling to study the role of topographic features on hydrodynamics and circulation in estuaries. At MIT, Adrian has served as director the MIT Water Summit in 2019, which explored the impacts of plastics in the water environment, and he is currently on the planning committee for this year's Summit, which focuses on the resiliency of coastal cities and ecosystems. Adrian aims to understand environmental processes and dynamics, particularly as they relate to sustainable management of the coastal ocean. By linking physical mechanisms to biological and geochemical processes, he ultimately seeks to contribute towards coastal sustainability and restoration efforts with a focus on nature-based solutions. Additionally, Adrian is passionate about improving STEM representation and access to historically excluded groups through mentorship and educational outreach.
Collin J. Ortals
University of Florida Coastal Engineering Ph.D. Candidate
Collin is a Ph.D. candidate in the Coastal Engineering department at the University of Florida with a research emphasis on the geospatial evolution of salt marshes and the spatial distribution and abundances of plants and animals within. Collin graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2016 with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. Following his graduation, he worked in the private sector for two years, working on large-scale marsh restoration projects in coastal Louisiana and developing coastal flood hazard maps in Florida. For his doctoral work, Collin has been working on an interdisciplinary team consisting of engineers, ecologists, and geologists, to understand the relationship between ecosystem engineers (i.e. Sesarma reticulatum (purple marsh crabs) and marsh flow patterns. Currently, long-term simulations of marshes worldwide are carried out to understand if marshes will persist under increased sea level rise and other changes in the climate (i.e. increased or decreased precipitation). However, ecosystem engineering effects have not been integrated into these hydrodynamic models despite their potential to alter the trajectory of the marsh.
About the Webinar Series
On a monthly basis, seminars will be organized on different environmental and engineering topics, given by national and international experts. These seminars are organized in cooperation with the Universidad Nacional San Antonio Abad del Cusco, the Universidad Nacional de la Amazonía Peruana, and the Universidad Nacional Hermilio Valdizán.

Economists of the School of Finance of the Higher School of Economics Victoria Dobrynskaya and Yulia Kishilova analysed secondary market prices of the world-famous toy construction sets released from 1987-2014.
Their research showed that the resale of unopened sets on average yielded a profit of 11% per year. However, this number varies depending on the size of the construction set and its series, and it may range from (-50) to up to 600%.
The most profitable sets were those consisting of up to 350 pieces. Their average profit margin exceeded 22%. The next most profitable sets were those consisting of 1,200-6,000 pieces. They yielded a profit of up to 12% on average. The least profitable were mid-sized LEGO sets, which yielded a profit of around 6.8-10%.
In terms of the product's various series, the most profitable was LEGO Ideas, released from 2010-2014. Owners who resold their LEGO Ideas sets made an average profit of up to 64%. Coming in second was LEGO Seasonal (2006-2014). Its average resale profit was 58% per year. Rounding out the top three was LEGO Super Heroes (2011-2014), which yielded an average resale profit of 51%. Meanwhile, investment in The Simpsons series (2014) turned out to be unprofitable, with collectors losing more than 3.5% annually on resale.
The top five most profitable LEGO construction sets included Darth Revan from the Star Wars series (yielding an average annual profit of 613%), the Elves' Workshop from the Seasonal series (with a profit margin of 590%), Seal's Little Rock from the Friends series (527%), TC-4 from the Star Wars series (502%), and Ice Skating (Seasonal; 425%). These were all released in 2014.
The researchers also evaluated the risks of similar investments and concluded that economic fluctuations and market volatility did not have a strong effect on the profitability of LEGO sets. Moreover, in comparison with other "collectable assets," such as pieces of art, precious stones and metals, and rare coins, investment in LEGO yields higher profits.

D.O. Mills served as the first president of the Bank of California and major financier of the Comstock Lode. The mines of the Comstock Lode constituted the financial bubble of its day. D.O. Mills was orphaned and penniless at age sixteen. Mills left his native North Salem, New York to take a job as a clerk in New York City. By the age of 22 he owned a small bank in Buffalo, yet in 1848, at the age of 23, he joined the California gold rush. Mills first founded the Bank of D.O. Mills, then used massive profits from mines and mills in the silver region around Virginia City, Nevada to found the Bank of California in 1864. Soon he controlled enormous fields of industry, including mines, timer tracts, railroads, newspapers, shipping, and many other areas. After serving as Regent of the University of California, Mills retired from banking and returned to New York. There he erected the then-tallest office building in the city, built a building on the Bellevue Hospital grounds specifically for training male nurses, and served as trustee of Lick Observatory, Metropolitan Museum, and Museum of Natural History.

In recent decades, the way businesses are run has changed. International trade has grown sharply. Many consider that international tax rules are not up to date with the realities of doing business in a globalised world. They are creating new challenges for national tax authorities all around the world.
As stated by Pascal Saint-Amans: "It is a watershed moment for international tax policy. The debate over tax evasion by the wealthy and tax avoidance by multinational corporations has never before grabbed so many headlines2 or caused so much anger".
While the current hot tax topics emerged for governments over a decade ago, there has been political support for international tax coordination as from the end of 2000s. Indeed, the financial and economic crisis has forced governments to struggle over the question of public and social spending, as well as to increase taxes and protect their tax base.

When Lyrics Are Used Against Rappers in Court
Rappers Tekashi 6ix9ine, Snoop Dogg, and Boosie all referenced crimes in their lyrics — then lawyers used it against them in court. Should this be allowed?
Some high-profile legal cases have seen rappers have their lyrics used against them
Snoop Dogg was charged with first degree murder after the 1993 of a rival gang member by his bodyguard. During the trial in 1996, prosecutors referred to his song "Murder Was the Case," which depicts the rapper being convicted of homicide. Snoop was eventually cleared of all charges, as seen from an MTV News interview taken from 1996.
In 2017, 16-year-old Texas rapper Tay-K was under house arrest and facing capital murder charges following his alleged involvement in a home invasion robbery that left 1 person dead. He cut his ankle monitor and went on the run for 3 months — during which time he released "The Race," which bragged about his time on the run. The track was read as evidence of his fugitive lifestyle in court, and Tay-K was sentenced to 55 years for the 2016 robbery.
In 2012, Baton Rouge rapper Boosie was put on trial for allegedly paying a teen hitman to commit a murder. The evidence? Lyrics to Boosie's songs "187" and "Bodybag," which were recorded on the same day as the killing. Boosie was later found innocent, and legal experts were critical of the use of his lyrics tin court.
In 2019, Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine took the stand as a key witness in a trial to testify against members of his alleged gang, the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. During the trial, his music videos and lyrics in the songs "Gummo" and "Kooda" were used to identify key gang members and gang locations used by Nine Trey. For testifying against his former affiliates, Tekashi will avoid 47 years in prison on charges of racketeering drug distribution weapon possession murder conspiracy.
It seems like such a cruel irony that a rapper's imagination, which offers so many listeners a metaphorical and literal escape, is the same thing that, in the end, could become the miscomprehended evidence that snatches back that freedom.

Elon Musks Wealth Collapses By $100 Billion, But He's Still The Richest On Earth
A significant drop in Tesla's share price over the previous year has resulted in Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter, suffering a loss of wealth equal to one hundred billion dollars.
Elon Musk's Wealth Plunges $100 Billion Within Year | The Daily Caller
Despite experiencing the most significant decline in wealth ever recorded on Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, Musk still holds the title of the wealthiest person in the world. Musk derives most of his money from his ownership stake in the firms he founded.
He has a 15% interest in Tesla, which saw him lose $8.6 billion on Monday as the company's shares fell to their lowest price in the past two years. According to The Wall Street Journal, the value of a share of Tesla has decreased by52% this year and 21% for the past month.
According to a report by Reuters, the business recalled 321,000 vehicles on Sunday due to a software bug that might cause the vehicle's taillights to fail to activate at random intervals.
The flaw was spotted by consumers during the last month, according to a report that Tesla submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The vehicles in question constitute one percent of the total number of Tesla automobiles.
According to the business, the vehicles affected by the fault include the 2023 Model 3and the 2020-2023 Model Y. According to Yahoo Finance, another city close to Beijing has implemented lockdown procedures, another challenge for Tesla as China continues to implement unanticipated covid lockdowns.
The shutdown might put Tesla's production and sales in jeopardy. Tesla cut its prices in China earlier in the year owing to dwindling demand, so the company decreased its prices there. According to statistics provided by CNBC, trading for Tesla shares started on Tuesday at $167.87 per share with a volume of 12,687,282 shares.
Warren Buffett's net worth has increased by more than $1 billion in 2022, outpacing the gains of many CEOs of tech giants like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. With a net worth of $180 billion, Musk continues to be the wealthiest man in the world, surpassing Buffett, who is presently ranked sixth.

We are a British innovator of energy saving technologies including super condensing GasSaver technology.
From April 2018, the Government's Boiler Plus legislation, part of the Clean Growth Strategy, stipulates that when a gas combination boiler is installed, one of four energy saving technologies will be mandatory as part of that installation.
Our product is one of the four Boiler Plus energy saving technologies and has the capability of saving households up to £180 per year.
Not only does this deliver substantial savings for consumers but it also brings the SAP rating on new builds down to such a level that other more costly energy efficiency measures can be dispensed with.
With over 23 million homes heated by natural gas and an increasing penetration of combination boilers, FGHR is a system that can play a crucial role in boosting energy efficiency in the UK, resulting in a cleaner environment and lower energy bills for consumers.
The GasSaver dramatically improves SAP ratings on new builds by reducing the Dwelling Emission Rate (DER). This enables builders and developers to dispense with other more expensive energy efficiency measures and build the same standard of housing for a much lower cost.
From April 2018 any gas combi boiler you install must comply with Boiler Plus. A boiler fitted with the GasSaver FGHR system is the best kind of boiler to recommend to your customers because it requires no user interaction, improves energy efficiency by as much as 31% and reduces gas and water bills.
Only the GasSaver 'super condensing' stored FGHR system will save an estimated £180 per annum on household gas and water bills. This compares to a saving of only £9 per annum for a standard FGHR system. The GasSaver requires no interaction – once the boiler is installed you'll immediately start saving both energy and money.
Find out how the GasSaver flue gas heat recovery system dramatically improves SAP ratings on new builds by reducing the Dwelling Emission Rate (DER) by up to 24%.


A new technical solution GEOSPLIT allows long-term monitoring of well inflows upon well completion.
The company "GeoSplit" successfully brought to the market a new product - downhole cassettes with marked material. A new technological solution allows long-term monitoring of well inflows upon well completion.
This product was developed to support the increasing interest of subsoil users in marker research. The successful results of using the base product - marked proppant GEOSPLIT - served an excellent basis for expanding the product portfolio and bringing technology to a new level.
Placing markers-reporters in downhole guards and filters for a long-term period is an alternative to the proppant solution, for example, in cases when a multi-stage hydraulic fracturing is not planned in the well or there are limitations on the volume of injected proppant.
The principle of the technology operation is that polymer compositions with markers-reporters are placed in borehole filters or guards of a special design. The polymer coating reacts with the formation fluid, markers-reporters are washed out with water and oil. As a result, water and oil phases of the fluid are automatically provided with inflow indicators.
The technical solution proposed by the company "GeoSplit" is one of the key factors for field digitalization which can significantly improve the economic efficiency of field development.
The use of machine learning algorithms enables to conduct automated high precision sample analysis. The main advantage of the technology is the ability to obtain data on the well and reservoir operation regularly within five years. Moreover, stoppage or alteration of the well operating mode are not required.
"2018 was a breakthrough year for GEOSPLIT technology. We have successfully brought to the market a new technical solution - markers in the lower completion. Our first product, marked proppant, is used to monitor post-fracturing operations, and a new solution comes into effect once the downhole equipment is lowered into the well immediately after drilling. This significantly expands the market for the product: after all, not all the wells are undergoing hydraulic fracturing operations. In addition, in the nearest future we are intending to present a product for the study of gas wells and are working on the creation of acid-resistant quantum markers. This is done taking into account the development of the export direction: the fact is that if well stimulation is mostly done using the multi-stage hydraulic fracturing method (using proppant) in Russia then, for example, in the Middle East countries, the method of wells stimulation using acid injection is more common ".

Indian Rider to be Youngest to Rumble in the Sri Lankan Jungle
Seventeen-year-old Akshit Gaur is about to become the youngest rider and only Indian to compete in Rumble in the Jungle, a 4-day mountain bike stage race in Sri Lanka taking place from June 11-18, 2017.
Ashish Sood
How often does it happen that the youngest rider in an international mountain biking stage race is an Indian teenager? Almost never. But times, they are a-changing. About a week ago, Akshit Gaur, a 17-year-old rider from the North Indian mountain town of Shimla, was anxiously waiting for his Class 12 results (in which he did really well). In a week from now, he'll be competing in an international MTB race.
Akshit will become the youngest rider to start Sri Lanka's 'Rumble in the Jungle' (http://theyakattack.com/rumbleinthejungle/) a cross-country, 300km race with over 7000m of ascent through off-road sections, hills and tea gardens of Sri Lanka. This year's event includes pros like Cory Wallace (former world rank 18, and 3-time Canadian National Champion, Winner of Hero MTB Himalaya in 2014) and Sonya Looney (World Champion, 4-time US National Champion, professional adventure athlete).
6th Hero MTB Shimla 2017. Akshit won the student's category. Photo: HASTPA
There are a lot of things that make Akshit's participation in the race a special occasion for all MTB enthusiasts in India. Akshit was spotted in one of the first school programs conducted by HASTPA with the support of Hero Cycles, where we started going to schools with the objective of picking prospective talent and providing them with a platform and the requisite infrastructure, equipment and training to further enhance their skills and develop them into world-class athletes. Akshit was spotted and enrolled in the Hero Action Team in March 2016, and his participation in Rumble in the Jungle represents hope – essential for people to believe there is a future for cycling in India; and a future in being an athlete in India.
Akshit has been a stellar performer. In 2016 he won the student category of the Hero MTB Shimla by far and was second across all age groups. He even beat the national U19 Champion by quite a margin. He came back and won the Hero MTB Shimla in 2017 as well. Won MTB Nainital in the Students category (3rd Overall). He has character, skills and the ability to come back under pressure. which will take him a long way. If he manages to secure a top 10 position in this race, his confidence will be boosted for many miles to come and raise the sport's awareness for much-needed corporate sponsors in India.
"Akshit is the manifestation of our dream. Hero HASTPA School programs were started in 2014 with the aim to find top talent and provide them with a platform to improve their skills. With the support of Hero Cycles, we have been able to cover more than 100 schools, reaching over 15,000 students since the launch of the program. The idea is to nurture a future Olympian in the sport from India. A lesser known sport like mountain biking needs a lot of corporate backing, and Hero Cycles has shown the way", said Mohit Sood, President of HASTPA.

City leaders pitched on array of innovative products
Do Canadian cities need recycled rubber sidewalks, more LED lighting or rain barrels?
Dave Battagello, Windsor Star

Several dozen company representatives at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference trade show at Caesars Windsor were doing their best Thursday to convince city leaders they do need to purchase all of the above — and more.
"Municipalities hear complaints every day from people about traffic or waiting at intersections when there are no other cars around," said Ryan McCartney, director of sales of Kitchener-based Miovision Technologies which was selling video-based traffic signal systems.
"We can help reduce those complaints and politically could even be an election platform. Traffic congestion is always a hot topic in any community."
The system offered by McCartney's company measures traffic volumes and adjusts stop lights instantly as opposed to timer-based systems or those triggered when a car pulls up to a street signal.
"It's a real-time co-ordination product that monitors what happens every minute to better handle traffic conditions," he said.
Only one major city in Ontario has so far signed up for the product since it was unveiled six months ago, with several pilot projects across Canada, McCartney said. That's why the FCM trade show — attended by dozens of municipal politicians and administrators from across Canada — was so important.
"We can help them get more capacity out of their existing (road) infrastructure," he said. "Our plan is to continue until we solve every city traffic problem."
Another innovative solution featured at the trade show was being offered by Saskatoon-based Sun Country Highway, a sole distributor of electric pickup trucks and cargo vans that have cities across Canada lining up to convert their fuel-powered municipal fleets.
The company has accepted orders to be delivered starting this fall for about 1,000 electric vehicles from at least 100 Canadian municipalities, said Christopher Misch, Sun Country's vice-president.
The electric pickup trucks and cargo vans — produced in the U.S. — can travel up to 65 kilometres on an electric charge before a generator kicks in and then can travel another 600 kilometres on a tank of fuel.
Each vehicle can save a municipality up to $350 per month in fuel and maintenance costs if leased; the full payback takes six to eight years if purchased, Misch said.
The company plans to open a production plant somewhere in Canada; Windsor is among about a half-dozen Ontario cities in competition for the factory..
"Our goal is to manufacture these vehicles in Canada in the next one to two years and create jobs," Misch said.
A company official from Fer Pal Infrastructure was attempting to convince municipal leaders struggling with aging water systems, they need to move away from the traditional method of cutting out and replacing broken or crumbling water mains.
The company offers a liner which can be slid inside an existing water main.
"It becomes a new water main fully functional inside an old water main," said Geoff Britnell, business development manager for Fer Pal.
The liner product is produced in a facility just south of Montreal and is used in more than 30 cities across Canada and in five states in the U.S.
"We know the infrastructure in Canada is crumbling right now," Britnell said."We want to make sure the decision makers at FCM get ideas about our product and learn about the cost savings" of up to 50 per cent for each repaired water main.
"We have been getting a lot of positive feedback here and really feel it's starting to catch on."
The three-day FCM conference and trade show at the casino ends Friday afternoon.
