More journalists are being killed outside of war zones, and the overwhelming majority of this year's grim total of at least 50 dead were deliberately targeted, many of them murdered while investigating organized crime, corruption and environmental degradation, Reporters Without Borders said Tuesday.
Its tally of journalists and media workers killed in connection with their work by mid-December was just slightly lower than in 2019, when the press freedom group counted 53 dead, even though many journalists reported less from the field in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The group said 68% were killed outside of war zones this year. That confirms a trend noted by the group since 2016, when only four out of 10 deaths were in countries not at war.
Targeted killings of journalists surged in 2020, accounting for 84% of deaths, sharply up from 63% in 2019, the group said.
It again listed Mexico as the deadliest country for media workers, counting at least eight journalists killed there in connection with their work in 2020. Among them was Julio Valdivia, a newspaper reporter whose decapitated body was found in September in an area ridden with organized crime.
Among six media deaths that the group counted in Iraq was the killing in July of Hisham al-Hashimi, a leading expert on the Islamic State and other armed groups, who was shot dead outside his Baghdad home.
Reporters Without Borders also noted an increase in the killings of investigative journalists, including four who were looking into organized crime groups, 10 who were reporting on corruption and the misuse of public funds and three who were working on environmental issues including illegal mining and land grabs.
Reporting on civil unrest also proved particularly deadly, the group said, with seven journalists killed while covering protests — four of them in Iraq, two in Nigeria and one in Colombia.

it is worth recalling that the following incentives to property speculation have been introduced by various governments since 1990. Abolish Land Tax, abolish Stamp Duty, allow investors to write off rental loses against other income and receive a tax refund through a qualifying company, decline to tax the capital gain that pops out when the property is sold, accelerate depreciation write offs (repealed a few years ago, after the horse had well and truly bolted). My point is, yes there is one, is that successive governments have left affordable housing development largely to the private market by providing these incentives, but it has not worked for a number of reasons and now we see the mess we are in. No policy suggestion here, but important to learn from previous mistakes when thinking about future policy.
I totally agree that the tax policies and settings you identify are a major cause of our housing unaffordability. Almost nothing in this world stems from a singular cause but the current government continues to insist that 'a lack of supply' is the sole cause and solution for our now exorbitant house prices, in cities like Auckland and Queenstown in particular. Every one knows that property speculation by local and foreign investors is rampant. And is there really a housing shortage when so many houses are sitting unoccupied? Tens of thousands of homes were found to be unoccupied in the last census and I see many homes that are clearly unoccupied as I move around in Auckland.

3 Ways to Kill a Deal in China
Why should you fight over the bill during a Chinese business dinner? Read on to find out.
By Joanne Yao November 10, 2008
Whether you're a business owner curious about what China's prospering economy offers, or an entrepreneur making plans to enter the Chinese market or bring on a Chinese partner, the prospect of hopping across the pond and meeting these people may be the most daunting portion of your expansion plan. You're not alone. But trying to memorize the lists of "don'ts" is no way to prepare for a visit to the Middle Kingdom--it's more likely to kick-start a nervous tic than a flair for navigating China's business culture.
This what-not-to-do guide will help you when negotiating your Chinese market entry. Then feel free to sweat the details--in fact, print our pocket-sized "don'ts" guide for an on-the-spot reference with minimal memorization involved.
The Deal-Breaker: A heavily suspicious attitude. A business owner who appears unwilling or hesitant to share information will be particularly undesirable.
"I think Chinese firms see three big benefits to working with American companies. [American companies] usually have more managerial experience and, in some cases, better technology, although China is catching up. The biggest reason is that everyone is eager to enter the international market," says Juny Chu, 36, an IT administrator for Beijing E-Business High-Tech Technology Co. LTD.
Chu cites the opportunity to learn from American businesses--such as how to move a product in the U.S., or the art of human resources, as key reasons Chinese firms choose to work with their smaller to midsize American counterparts. While American entrepreneurs eye the Chinese market for its abundant natural resources and cheap labor, Chinese entrepreneurs hope that the knowledge gained from their U.S. partners--whom they respect as players in the world's most prosperous economy, despite recent churnings--will put them ahead of their competitors. A Chinese firm will make it a priority to extract as much knowledge as possible from its collaboratorsAmerican partners. Although initial hesitancy is natural, a partner who remains suspicious in his or her dealings despite continued efforts to establish mutual trust will likely be viewed as a bad partner.
The Deal-Breaker: Cultural inflexibility. Would you do business with a person who made no attempt to understand or abide by American social customs? Well, the feeling is mutual.
"Treating your partners with respect is very important. It's easy to forget when dealing with the frustrations of China. In the U.S., there is more of a 'get it done' philosophy, but in China, [conducting business is] all about having patience," says Adam Harr, a senior accounts executive at Edelman Beijing. Edelman, the first international PR firm to enter the Chinese market in 1994, helps foreign firms, Chinese bureaucrats and Chinese companies communicate in tandem.
You may get an odd look or two but, most of the time, Chinese businesspeople, particularly younger professionals, will brush off unintentional lapses in etiquette with politeness. Remember, it's not about getting these social rituals correct as much as it's about showing respect to your partners through your willingness to learn Chinese customs. After all, wouldn't you expect the same from them if they visited your operation in the United States?
But beware--being culturally flexible doesn't equate to bending over backward to fit in with the furious pace of doing business in China. Your goals should clearly always be at the forefront of your discussions. Colin Friedman, founder of Beijing-based consultancy firm China Expert International Ltd. and Beijing Fortune Connection Club, a networking organization, says an entrepreneur's most important tool is a personal list of "do not's."
"People get very swept away because it is so different here," Friedman says. "But they should actually do things the same way. If you wouldn't take a risk like that in the States, don't take it in China. Zero multiplied by 1.3 billion is still zero."
The Deal-Breaker: Thinking that your work is done.
Don't be lulled into a false feeling of security even after you've done the legwork to find reliable Chinese partners. According to both Friedman and Harr, a predominant characteristic of the Chinese is that they shy away from saying no, sometimes giving vague, obtuse or even largely incorrect answers instead because they think you expect to hear yes. Learning when yes means no is yet another cultural difference between China and the West.
"In the West, there is a clear rule of law. In China, your relationship is as static as the market: As the market continues to change, so does your relationship. The only way to stay up to cultivate your relationship is with a continued, concerted effort to keep it strong and clear," says Harr, adding that in China, nothing is set in stone, and there are no guarantees that provisions in your contract won't change.
Pocket Guide to Chinese Business Etiquette
To print a pocket-sized guide to doing business in China, click here.
General Behavior
Keep hand gestures at a minimum. These can be distracting because Chinese rarely use body gestures while speaking.
Keep personal contact at a minimum--including hugging, slapping shoulders, etc., especially between a man and a woman. Shaking hands is OK.
Dress conservatively. Women shouldn't wear ultra-high heels.
In conversation, steer away from politics. If pressed for an opinion on a political or controversial issue, express your personal opinion, but acknowledge that it's not the viewpoint of the entire company.
Good Numbers, Bad Numbers
Bad: 4, 14
Good: 3, 8
Greetings and Meetings
Be on time or early.
A slight bow or nod is a common greeting. Wait for the Chinese to offer a handshake.
Use formal titles
If possible, make business cards with an English side and a translated Chinese side.
Present and receive business cards with two hands, and never write on them.
The most senior member of your retinue should enter the meeting room first. The Chinese will do the same.
Mr. (?? Xiansheng)
Miss (?? Xiaojie)
Director (? Zong)
Manager (?? Jingli)
Items with company logosHigh-quality pens
Regional specialties or country specialty goods
Ideally, gifts should be convenient to transport, with the most "valuable" gifts going to the highest office holder, and so on.
Wrapped, ideally with red or yellow paper
Items that suggest poverty
Items with stork or crane imagery
Items that are solid blue, white or black in color
Politely refuse the gift at first to show modesty.
Don't open the gift until the giver is out of sight.
Entertaining, Dining
It's normal to offer, even "fight" for the bill during business dinners. Don't suggest splitting the bill-this is not done.
Taste all the dishes you are offered, leaving what you don't like on your plate.
For your own sake, don't eat everything on your plate or a Chinese host will assume you are still hungry and continue to pile more on.
Don't stick your chopsticks straight up within a bowl of rice. This is reminiscent of incense sticks at a grave mound.
It's uncommon to tip at Chinese restaurants.
The most senior member of your retinue should enter the banquet room first. The Chinese will do the same.
Be ready to inhale second-hand smoke.

6 Tips to Consider When Searching for a Franchise for the First Time

In 1944, the Seagram Company started producing rum under the name Captain Morgan Rum Company.
Seagram CEO Samuel Bronfman purchased a distillery named Long Pond from the Jamaican government. Among the buyers of raw rum from the Long Pond distillery was a Kingston pharmacy named Levy Brothers. The Levy family had been purchasing raw rum, adding medicinal herbs and spices, aging, and bottling it. Bronfman liked the rum product and bought the rights to it.
In the 1950s the United States federal government & the government of Puerto Rico created a number of economic incentives to create jobs in Puerto Rico. Taxes on rum entering the United States produced in Puerto Rico were less than from other countries outside the United States. At this time both Seagram's and the Bacardi family built large new plants near San Juan. In 1985, Seagrams sold its rum distillery and manufacturing facilities in Camuy and Arecibo -- and doing business as Puerto Rican Destillers -- to Destilería Serralles, a Puerto Rican concern that had been producing the Don Q brand in Puerto Rico since 1865. As part of the contract Seagrams also licensed to Serralles the rights to produce and distribute the "Captain Morgan" brand in Puerto Rico and the rest of the Caribbean until in 2012.
In 2001, Seagrams sold the "Captain Morgan" brand to Diageo. Diageo made an announcement on 24 June, 2008 that it intends to build and operate a new rum distillery on St. Croix, Virgin Islands beginning in 2010 and to source from it beginning at the end of their current supply contract in 2012.
An actor portraying Captain Morgan at the 2007 Scream Awards. The event was sponsored by Diageo.In 1984, Captain Morgan Original Spiced rum was introduced to the United States. Captain Morgan is, by volume, the second largest brand of spirits in the United States, and the seventh largest worldwide. In 2007[update], 7.6 million 9-liter cases were sold. Most Captain Morgan rum is sold in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa, and Global Travel.
Although the pirate Henry Morgan is a figure of Jamaican culture, the Seagram's Captain Morgan Rum is labeled as a product of Puerto Rico, whereas the Captain Morgan Rum produced by J. Wray and Nephew Ltd. is labeled as a "product of Jamaica."
In November 2009, the NFL banned a covert ad campaign, allegedly put on by Diageo. It was understood that for each NFL player striking the "Captain Morgan" pose on camera during a regular season game, Diageo would donate $10,000 to the Gridiron Greats (a non-profit which helps retired NFL players with various hardships after leaving the game). The league made this announcement following such a celebration by Brent Celek of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin has announced she will be joined by special guest Merk across her four-date New Zealand tour in Christchurch, Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland in 2019.
Merk is the hi-fi pop project of New Zealand producer and songwriter Mark Perkins. After starting out as Neil Finn's intern at Roundhead Studios, the multi-instrumentalist turned his hand to his own complex creations, releasing his debut album Swordfish in 2016 which took him around the world as part of the Red Bull Music Academy and won the Taite Award for best independent debut album in 2017. He now follows it up with his latest single release since the album, Hang.
Growing up in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Julia explored classical, pop-punk genres through her high-school covers band, until she began to write her own folk songs and developed her rich, distinctive voice. She released her critically acclaimed debut album, Don't Let The Kids Win, in 2016, recording it in Auckland over three weeks.
But big life changes in the past two years have brought about her new album Crushing, produced by Burke Reid (Courtney Barnett, The Drones) and recorded at INXS' Garry Gary Beers' The Grove Studios, Crushing is an in-the-moment narrative of heartbreak and infatuation which sees Julia explore her more raw sound across a luminous sonic landscape. Julia returns to the birthplace of her acclaimed first album to show fans her new take on the world.


I went to bed last night thinking "that was the longest weekend ever," and I woke up this morning thinking "yeah, not so much going to make it to work today." So, hooray for July 5! I plan to celebrate by doing laundry, grocery shopping and finishing the very first edition of the Best Running Mix In History. I'm wild, y'all.
So, the CD: you guys, this is perhaps my best work. To not make it available to the public would be a crime. Almost as much of a crime as selling copywrited materials. The songs are short, keeping the attention span of even the most severe ADD case. There are songs for which you know all the words, songs you've never heard in your life and songs about how fame won't change us.
Anyway, I will be giving these CD away with a minimum donation of $5. I will have some available at the happy hour tomorrow, but I can also mail them out to anyone who's in need. I am a firm believer in the idea that workout mixes are most effective when you don't know what's coming. So, I can't really allow you to examine the playlist. But, if you decide you want one and you simply can't abide, say, hip hop or chick bands or monster ballads or whatever, I can easily customize your CD. But, before you make such a demand, think to yourself: Dare I mess with genius?
Meanwhile, dear readers, I will leave you will one of my favorite mix resources.

Germany's Political Center Continues to Dominate the Field
September 28, 2021 Topic: German Elections Region: Europe Tags: GermanyPoliticsChancellorAngela MerkelForeign Policy
The next government will face some significant policy decisions: 5G, dual-capable aircraft, armed drones, a potential new Afghan refugee crisis, and certification of Nord Stream II among them.
by Daniel Kochis
Just a few years ago, the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) was all but left for dead. Its political demise was attributed to a loss of identity after years as a junior partner in a Grand Coalition with Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) and the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU).
SPD's miraculous turnaround to win the federal elections on Sunday is quite incredible. As late as June, SPD was polling a mere 15 percent, trailing the Greens Party by 6 percent and the CDU/CSU by 12 percent. The question now is whether the election was won by SPD won or merely lost by Armin Laschet, the CDU/CSU candidate.
By any measure, it was a very bad day for CDU/CSU. It was their worst electoral outcome since the end of World War II. Even Merkel's former constituency flipped to SPD.
The Greens came in third, a seemingly successful election night. Yet this showing disappointed the Greens. Just a few short months ago they believed they'd do far better. Of the result, Greens leader Annalena Baerbock lamented: We wanted more and we didn't get it.
Still, the Greens can find consolation in the fact that they were the top choice of voters aged eighteen to thirty-four and seem assured a place in the next coalition government. The Free Democrats (FDP), too, were popular with Germany's youngest voters, now appear similarly poised for an outsized say in the makeup of the next chancellery.
According to exit polling, the top issues which drove voters' choices were the social safety net, pensions, climate change, the economy, and, finally, government handling of the pandemic. But this wasn't really an issue- or platform-driven election; it was all about personality.
Laschet was unpopular, even among members of his own party, and a series of gaffes during the campaign lowered his ceiling even more. Today, many faithful party members are wondering whether things would have been wildly different had they run the far more popular Bavarian Premier Markus Söder of the CSU instead.
The SPD's Olaf Scholz, on the other hand, is far more popular than either Laschet or the Greens Baerbock (who also was plagued by missteps during the campaign). A known entity, Scholz is viewed as competent, safe, a steady hand at the helm.
German voters didn't necessarily vote for SPD because they preferred its party platform to those of the other candidates. Many seem to have voted for Scholtz, the man.
In the campaign, Scholz made himself synonymous with continuity. It now is clear Scholtz rather than Laschet succeeded in presenting himself as Merkel's natural heir, even copying her style in debates and campaign posters. Ultimately, around two million Germans who voted CDU/CSU in 2017, switched and voted for SPD in 2021. Whether these were liberal CDU voters who peeled off for SPD, or SPD voters who returned home after their marriage with Merkel ended isn't clear, but the outcome remains the same.
Now, Scholtz is most likely Germany's next chancellor, heading a "traffic light" coalition with the Greens and FDP. One shouldn't rule out, however, the possibility of a Jamaica coalition (CDU/CSU, Greens, FDP); after all, the FDP has been clear their preferred partner remains the CDU/CSU.
Coalition building will take time. Parties have discussed hopes for a new government by Christmas, that however, will likely prove optimistic.
The elections kingmakers, the Greens and FDP, are worlds apart on economic management, spending and climate targets. Both parties' leaders will surely allow themselves to be courted, waiting to see which suitor offers the better deal in terms of party positions within a coalition agreement, as well as the division of key ministries. Eventually, a coalition will be formed, but the process may prove arduous and drawn out, and its eventual outcome is anything but a certainty.
What is certain is that Germany's political center currently dominates the field. The style and possibly the substance of the Merkel government will, by and large, continue with no flashy initiatives, no abrupt U-turns. Germans want a manager who will continue to pilot the nation along the prescribed channel.
The next government will face some significant policy decisions: 5G, dual-capable aircraft, armed drones, a potential new Afghan refugee crisis, and certification of Nord Stream II among them. While these issues could certainly strain a coalition, a consensus view will be assiduously sought.
Regardless of who the next chancellor is, American policymakers should expect continuity. The likely inclusion of the Greens and FDP in the government will mean a slightly more robust stance against China and Russia.
For the United States, this is a window of opportunity to encourage Germany to tack toward the U.S. approach to addressing the challenges of China and Russia. While the United States should have no illusions about complete alignment, Chinese and Russian overreach—combined with the exit of Merkel—suggest there is room for guarded optimism that Germany may move closer to the U.S. position on certain policy questions.
Yet Rome, as they say, was not built in a day. If Washington expects major realignment with Berlin overnight, then it is sure to be disappointed. Germans voted for continuity and stability. In essence, they've voted for a fourth term of Merkel.

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN POLICY FORUM
#SAYHERNAME
#TRUTHBETOLD
AAPF
A SUMMARY OF PART FOURTEEN OF "UNDER THE BLACKLIGHT"
On July 15th, The African American Policy Forum hosted our fourteenth episode of our hit series "Under the Blacklight." This episode, titled "Politics, Power & The Struggle Against Black Precarity," examines the contours of activism and politics, with an understanding that the way things have worked is not the way things should work. The work of rethinking and reconstructing is challenging enough in a government that was not built to include all of us, but trying to do so in a body that is seen as unfit to exercise power, we're talking doing a triple axel and triple toe-loop in the halls of power.
AAPF Executive Director Kimberlé Crenshaw is joined by
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, an advocate, policy-maker, activism and survivor elected to represent Massachusetts' 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, making her the first woman of color to be elected to Congress from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Kimberly M. Foxx, the first African American woman to lead the Cook County State's Attorney's Office – the second largest prosecutor's office in the country. State Attorney Foxx brings forward a vision for transforming the Cook County State's Attorney's Office into a fairer, more forward-thinking agency focused on rebuilding the public trust, promoting transparency, and being proactive in making all communities safe.
Congresswoman Barbara Lee, elected in 1998 to serve California's 9th congressional district (now the 13th) in a special election. Congresswoman Lee is the only African American woman in Democratic Leadership, serving as Co-Chair of the Policy and Steering Committee. Currently, Congresswoman Lee serves on the Budget Committee and the powerful Appropriations Committee, which oversees all federal government spending. She serves on three subcommittees (Vice Chair, State and Foreign Operations; Labor, Health and Human Services, Education; and Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration) of the Appropriations Committee.
As we enter into the fourth month of COVID quarantine and our second month of protests against police violence and anti-Black racism, this skilled panel crafts a political vision for the future. This episode is grounded in discussion around the difficulties each panelist has faced in implementing a progressive agenda, the debate over the role of electoral politics in this transformative moment, and how activists and elected officials can work together to imagine and create a more equitable society. We dive deep, making space for the difficult but necessary conversation about race, racism, and how Black women are central to the political future of our nation.
Together, they address not only about the twin pandemics we are facing, but how as elected representatives, they are rising to the moment. We examine not only what they do, but how they do what they do, and what some of the unknown and unappreciated costs are of fighting the good fight. Our guests pull back the curtain on how we can become better partners, constituents, and torchbearers for those who answer the call to join the struggle.
You can read more about each panelist on our website, and we invite you to listen to our fourteenth installment of "Under The Blacklight" as a podcast, or watch a replay of the event on YouTube (here).

Just got my slimdevice yesterday, and now I'm trying to set it up.
I have the correct 128-WEP key, SSID, etc., and it can't connect to the network.
Though I'm able to get to my wireless (802.11g) network (Linksys WAP54G) from my laptop with no trouble.
I also wonder about the region selection (ie: signal strength).
I'd imagine you've checked this already, but when I set mine up I was thrown for a little while by the fact that I'd forgotten I was only allowing devices from known IP addresses to connect. Once I'd added the 'unknown' device to the trusted list all was fine.

You were right, I had MAC filtering on and didn't even realize.

It is one of the challenges in Knowledge Management to curate meaningful and high-quality content. Highly accessible quality content significantly reduces the time users need to resolve their issues and satisfy their information needs.
Shelf provides various reports that assist with assessing content performance, such as the most and least popular content report. Now, users gain the ability to provide direct feedback on content via a straight-forward five-star rating system.
When opening a Gem Page to view content, users can rate the quality of a Gem by selecting Add Rating. As content gets updated over time, ratings can be adjusted upward or downward to reflect its current state.
To assist with the assessment of the content in your knowledge base, we added a content quality report to the Shelf Analytics Dashboard. Admins now have the ability to quickly view ratings for a given month and assess individual pieces of content, such as in terms of the quality and frequency of ratings. Furthermore, a report showing the distribution of ratings is available to quickly assess the perceived overall content quality.
The Shelf Rating system is not only useful for Content Curators who seek to optimize their KM content. It's equally useful for users to narrow down their searches to such content that has proved most valuable to their peers.
Shelf features a sophisticated set of content filters that enable users to quickly find what they're looking for by selecting the relevant context for a particular search. The new Rating filter adds to this experience and now it is possible to limit search results by content quality as well.
Search results that have received at least one rating include the score as filled stars and stand out from the unrated content, making it easy to identify.
As with other Shelf functionality, Admins have the ability to customize the behavior for their account, from enabling the use of ratings only for certain user roles to completely turning off any rating functionality. Simply navigate to the Customize page on the Admin Panel to configure your experience.
At Shelf, we pride ourselves not only with building the most user-friendly and powerful KM solution but also with providing a platform that is very reliable and highly available.
On our new status page, you can easily access the current operational status of our systems, whether it's our primary system, our APIs, or the available integrations.
When an incident does happen, you can follow through until resolution as we publish updates related to the impacted system on the status page itself.
There are some subtle but meaningful updates to both the way libraries and folders are displayed on the search results as well as how content gets refreshed when viewing the Home Dashboard.
The Home Dashboard is the entry point to Shelf and gives quick access to content, such as recently added and updated Gems or your favorited and recently viewed Gems.
We've improved the way that content gets refreshed while making sure what you're currently looking at doesn't suddenly disappear. So, your own actions lead to new or changed content being displayed while other users' actions don't impact your current view.
Shelf gives you the option to view content and search results in three different formats: The Card View is great to see large content previews, the Snippet View includes rich information about the Gems, and the compact List View lets you see a lot of content without the need to scroll.
Previously, Pinned Content was always displayed as cards while folders were always displayed as mini-cards. Now, the layouts are unified so that folders and pinned content adhere to the view you selected.
This concludes our update for September. As always, all changes are available on your Shelf already and your feedback is most welcome.
I'm looking forward to sharing our next set of updates soon and want to thank you for your continued support of Shelf!

Digital Tax Goldrush Creates Big Compliance Challenges for Multinational Tech Companies
France became the most recent major taxing authority to introduce a new digital tax when, this past July, lawmakers approved a 3% levy on revenue from digital services earned in France by companies with more than 25 million euros in French revenue and 750 million euros ($838 million) worldwide. With the new law, France joined a group of 20 countries throughout Europe, including Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain and the UK, that have either announced or published proposals to introduce digital services taxes. And now, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has gotten in on the act, with a new proposal to create an international framework to guide how and where these digital taxes should be implemented.
Pascal Saint-Amans, director of the OECD centre for tax policy and administration (ERIC … [+] PIERMONT/AFP/Getty Images)
On the surface, all of these initiatives make sense. As the movies we watch, advertisements we click and goods we purchase are increasingly transmitted digitally, the idea of taxing these transactions based on the location where they are consumed rather than the location where they originate, is a fairly logical one. In practice, however, the idea of dozens of different nations enacting their own tax laws to capture revenue from multinational tech companies with locations all over the world is a recipe for massive conflict.
The first salvo in this particular conflict came from the U.S., where President Trump threatened to impose tariffs on French wine in response to the new digital tax law. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and economic adviser Larry Kudlow eventually reached a compromise with French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire to avert a trade standoff, but major U.S. tech firms, including Google, Facebook and Amazon have all continued to voice concern that the French tax proposal undermines the global tax regime and global efforts to reform it.
That's where the OECD proposal comes in. Like it has done previously with its 2013 Action Plan on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, more commonly known as BEPS, the OECD is trying to create a more harmonized, global approach to realigning contemporary tax policy with the realities of the increasingly global and digital economy.
However, without any real enforcement power and reliant upon building consensus among 110 members, the OECD is not the fastest-moving group in the world. They are currently proposing to have a consensus on how to move forward with the BEPS tax reform plans by 2020. Their timeline is more aggressive for the new digital taxation framework, but we've seen this pattern before. Typically, the OECD will signal that a new framework is on the way, and, emboldened by the hint of global consensus, individual governments will move much faster to implement their own interpretations of new tax laws.
That's where things get sticky for multinationals. While a unilateral, OECD-backed digital services tax would ultimately create a larger tax burden for large tech companies, it would make tax compliance much more straightforward.
The real challenge for the multinational technology firms at the center of this issue is not so much the incremental costs of the taxes themselves, it's accurately projecting and complying with a constantly changing pastiche of country-, county- and even city-specific tax laws. That introduces a need for the kinds of scenario analysis and stress testing that hasn't historically been a big part of the tax department's job description. Now it is.
This is the new normal for multinationals. In a perfect world, a globally harmonized set of tax laws that keep pace with new patterns of consumer behavior would be implemented evenly in a predictable fashion around the world. We do not live in that world. Instead, we live in a place where revenue-hungry tax authorities are continually playing catch-up with technology, government leaders throw around punitive tariffs like poker chips and massive swings in regional tax exposure can be introduced seemingly overnight.
Whether or not the OECD reaches broad agreement on its proposed framework within a year, as it hopes to do, outliers and extremes will continue to be a fact of life for businesses operating in this period of constant disruption. The key to success will not be how low they keep their tax bills in this environment, it will be how efficiently they manage the uncertainty.

Reading Bryan Stevenson at NYUAD: Understanding Just Mercy In a Global Context
WHEN October 12, 2020
7:30-8:30pm WHERE Zoom Webinar Part of "Race, Diversity, and the Learning Community" WHO NYU Abu Dhabi Institute Private Event
Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption – the NYUAD Summer Colloquium and NYU Reads selection for 2020 – tells the story of the Equal Justice Initiative, founded by civil rights leader and NYU professor Bryan Stevenson, which provides legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons in the United States.
In this discussion, Mariët Westermann, along with Bryan Waterman, Rosemary Byrne, Laura Assanmal, and Gabri Branche, will examine how the book and film adaption invite us to reflect on our identities as individuals and communities, the obligations we have to address marginalization and injustice, and what it means to put education in the service of others. Can Just Mercy prompt similar reflections outside of a US context?
Following the conversation, we invite you to attend Bryan Stevenson's talk to the NYU community beginning immediately after. More details and registration here.

Q: How to check if using the correct API level in Android I have an Android App with:
<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="7"
    android:targetSdkVersion="14" />

So mainly it uses the api lvl 7 and at some points it checks the device's version and uses some methods of higher API.
The problem is that the eclipse autocomplete suggests methods of api lvl 14 so in a large program is posible to use a method with level 8+ by mistake.
Is there a technique for avoiding that?
Thanks

A: I agree with ngen every once and a while change your targetSdkVersion to 7 and see what pops up.  Also during development you can usually hover over a method and see its "Since" for form what API level it is valid (see image blow)

A: Probably you can get what you want by changing the project properties, which as been set to the default values when you created the project. So don't change your Manifest file, but select Project->Properties->Android->"Porject Build Target" and select a target with level 7. That way you should get auto-completion for level7, but keep your manifest targetSdkVersion property to 14.
Additionally, it's probably a good idea to have two virtual devices to test the different behaviors.

Analysing Copy Number Variations (CNVs) from unpaired SNP-Chip samples is a very time consuming task. The analyst has to check every single CNV for polymorphisms, genes or gene breakpoints occuring in that region. This manual process is non deterministic as it can lead to different results when analyzed by different persons. To improve this process in efficiency and effectiveness and to achive a more objective result we developed this application. This application provides a table that shows all CNVs, as identified by CNAG, sorted by an automatically calculated score. The score combines information from the "Database of Genomic Variants" and the "UCSC Genome Browser Database" with medical knowldege and indicates a probability like value that helps the analyst to identify quickly the most interesting CNVs.

THE SON OF NO ONE - Film Review (DVD)
I love this movie.
I have yet to find anyone else who shares my opinion, but screw it. And yes, I'm probably a bit biased, because I've always been a bit of a Dito Montiel fanboy. 'A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints' is one of my all time favourite films.
'The Son Of No One' crashed at the box office, never made it to the cinema in Europe, and has received negative reviews everywhere.
But it resonates with me. And that's all I can really care about. I'm a fan of Montiel's movies because of how they impact me personally. The emotion in the film is, at least to me, extremely real. And it bugs me that people are slamming the performances of Pacino, Tatum and Katie Holmes, because I think they were fantastic!
As for me being biased; it's because I love the style, I love the stories, I love the team he has around him. The music Jonathan Elias and David Wittman created, it seeps right into me. How to describe it? There's just something about their sound --- the subtlety of it, the rawness. It has truth in it. And you know what I think about Jake Pushinsky's editing. Also, the way the movie was shot by Benoît Delhomme, I felt like I was right there! I felt the same with '..Saints'. Dito has a way of placing you right in the heart of the movie. I didn't grow up in New York, I was never involved in crime; but these movies feel like they were about me. There are precious few filmmakers who can achieve this feeling; and that's why I crave it.
The film seamlessly flows between the present and the past (a similar device was used in 'A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints') - and again, and sorry to overuse this word, but it resonates. It's just the way I am, the way my brain works -- I'm in the present moment but always conscious and present in where I came from, who I was. The structure of this film, the way it's edited, it feels extremely natural to me.
A few issues bugged me at first. I don't know if they had problems with the sound mix, because there was a heap of dialogue I couldn't make sense of. Either it got better after a while, or it stopped being important to me, because I sank right into it and had no complaints.
'The Son Of No One' is like a great crime novel; the character gets deeper and deeper into the shit, to the point where he has nowhere to turn, no-one who can make it okay. And gradually it unfolds that the whole police force is corrupt and working to protect him. The film ends with him having to make a decision -- to figure out where his loyalty lies, and it's riveting.
But look, I'm wise enough to know that if a film gets trashed to the extreme this film has been trashed -- then it must be less than perfect. But I don't see the prejudice of my bias as a bad thing, I just see it for what it is -- I bring myself into the movies I watch. Who I am and how I process the world, and art, it's there in the room with me. And something about 'Son Of No-one', 'A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints' and (to a lesser extent) 'Fighting' really works for me. I respond to the emotion in them, I relate to the characters and the predicaments. Most importantly of all; the watching of these films completely grabs my attention and won't let me go.
About Last Weekend 4 May 2012 at 13:03
I have not watched this one. I'm a bit on the fence about Channing Tatum - do you think he can he act? (is he the one in Dear John, that was awful...)
The Kid In The Front Row 4 May 2012 at 13:05
Hey, yeah, that was him. And I think he can act - I think he's really interesting on screen. Also proved great comedic skills in '21 Jump Street'.
Diana 5 May 2012 at 09:04
I loved "A guide to recognizing your saints", so I will definitely try to catch this movie on DVD or Video on Demand! Great write-up!

Let's Download Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Episodes for free now.
Yes, you heard that right! Detective Vic Mackey, as the world knows him, because of his excellent acting as a cop in The Shield, was present at the G Bar and Restaurant very recently. The actor was accompanied by his mother, a small kid, and two other women.
The fact that Michael has innumerable fans is highlighted by the large number of people who visit the internet only for The Shield download. The man was the centre of attraction at this Humphrey Street eatery when he came over, much to the surprise of everyone.
What Victoria Andrews got to watch the other night is something, which she is going to remember all her life. The waitress, at the very first sight of the actor, recognized him, but could not believe her eyes.
Later, she was amused to get the confirmation of his presence as she overheard the guests discussing about the showbiz. She added that this was the first time in her entire career that she got the opportunity to serve food to a celebrity.
One incredible thing that I got to comprehend about this waitress is that she upholds the comfort of the people that she is serving, over all other things. A proof of this could be seen when even after getting to know that she was serving Michael, she did not behave in an insane manner.
She did not talk to him about his TV series, or about his fan following. Instead, she treated him like just another guest at the restaurant.
Sweet hello to all pals, who love to watch The Shield episodes!
Today, the latest scoop I'm going to share with you, will surely delight you, because it is all about the most amazing The Shield stars, Paula Garces, who portrayed the role of Tina Hanlon.
She is all geared up to take you in the new world of fashion, as she will host the second season of Mun2 Fashion, this month.
The second season of Mun2 is called, 'The Mun2 Look', which will take fashion to a new high, because she will look at the most up-to-date fashion trends, and talk with a number of today's prime artists.
Guys, isn't it great news for Paula Garces' fans, as they will now get an opportunity to catch her in a new fashion series, besides viewing her performance in The Shield download?
Well, The second season of Mun2 Fashion series, will consist of six episodes, and will feature famous personalities such as Enrique Iglesias, Kimora Lee Simmons, Nelly Furtado, Larry Hernandez, Mario Lopez, Snoop Dogg, Ivy Queen, Flex, Jencarlos Canela, and many more.
Each episode of this series will take a look at the underdone, edgy trends, which are encouraged by the exclusive U.S. Moreover, in this series Paula Garces will mess things up, as she will take observers to the seashores of Puerto Rico, and talk about fashion with the R&B sensation, Flex.
Not only this, she will also take pleasure in the spa with Reggaeton diva, Ivy Queen.
Furthermore, Paula Garces recently opened up her heart, and said that she's delighted not only to get a chance to work with Mun2, whose style she found exclusively innovative, but also to offer a stage, where latest juvenile fashion trends can be shared with viewers about their fashion world, amusement and many more.
She also said that the very first episode of the second season of this show will greet the electro-rap duo, LMFAO and it will give audiences a chance to look at their spendthrift innovative clothing line.
Anyway guys, till I bring more spicy gossip pertaining to the series, you may enjoy The Shield episodes online from here.
What Are The Detectives From The Shield, Doing Now?
Although 'The Shield', stopped airing after the completion of Season 7 last year, it still remains as one of the most loved series amongst the audiences. So when I came across some news about two detectives from our favorite cop series, I decided to share the same with you.
"Detective Curtis 'Lem' Lemansky", (played by Kenny Johnson) and "Detective Terry Crowley" (played by Reed Diamond), would never had thought that someone would be spying on them. Well! To tell you the truth, to learn more about them, I looked into the lives of the actors who had played the roles of these characters, with the expectation of getting some news about them. I searched hard, read about them from here and there, and then managed to get hold of the following information.
"Curtis Lemansky" was one of my favorite detectives in the series, 'The Shield'. Kenny Johnson, who portrayed this character so well, is currently working on the biographical film on screen legend, Steve McQueen.
Jesse Wigutow has been hired to write the screenplay of the film. Michael Cerenzie and Christine Peters are the producers and Kenny Johnson is the co-executive producer, along with Graham Kyle, Brett Granstaff and Keith Watkins.
Another detective whom I liked on 'The Shield' is, "Terry Crowley" whose character was enacted by Reed Diamond. Reed is currently playing the role of Laurence Dominic on the new TV series 'Dollhouse', which premiered on 13 February 2009. He has recurring role on the show and his character has been revealed to be that of an undercover NSA agent. The series has already completed airing the episodes of its first season.
There was a strange connection between the two detectives on 'The Shield'. The strange connection between the two resulted from their association with Detective Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis). It was an irony that Curtis was loyal to Vic, while being unaware of the fact that Terry was killed by Vic.
I always felt curious about these corrupt detectives who would go to any limits to maintain law and order and I liked watching them until 'The Shield' concluded on 25 November 2008. But I still watch my favorite episodes from the show by downloading them from this website or even watching them online here.
In the series finale, the Barn looks into a woman's disappearance and the arrival of a major drug shipment.
Olivia works with the Strike Team to nab a Mexican drug lord and his incoming shipment. Dutch is forced to clean up after a Billings mess. Caludette investigates the death of a woman with ties to the Strike Team.
Corrine agrees to work with Dutch and Claudette while also serving as go-between for Vic and Shane. Meanwhile, Claudette pairs Ronnie up with Julien to investigate the murder of a high school football player.


I am aware that plugin promotions may be frowned upon in this list, but this brand-new plugin offers a nice intergration between Netscape.com and WordPress blogs (it works in 1.2.x and 1.5.x as well).
What's special about this one plguin is the fact that it's interactive. Much as in a few Digg plugins, you can see the counts 'live' and affect them and voting without departing from the blog. I thought it was a fairly nice way to promote your site and it greatly simplifies installation of promotional buttons.

Мне сказали, что def main() - лишняя промежуточная функция, и код можно сразу написать под if __name__ == '__main__'
Но если я его пишу после  if __name__ == '__main__' код перестает работать. Как исправить ошибку?

A: Вот вам перенесенный код, ещё и под PEP-8 исправленный. Так как вы свой переделанный не привели, то ошибку не укажу. Сравнивайте и смотрите, что у вас не так было.
И @eri и @Stanislav Volodarskiy правы, первый код лучше, если не учитель так потребовал, то лучше не менять.
