Flipkart founders Sachin, Binny Bansal under IT scanner; department seeks details of Walmart deal income
By: FE Online |
The Income Tax department has issued notices to Flipkart founder Sachin and Binny Bansal (not related), seeking details of income earned from the total payment received from the sale of their venture to Walmart.
Sachin and Binny Bansal are required to deposit advance tax on the assessed income from the deal with the government, according to the tax law. (PTI)
The Income Tax department has issued notices to Flipkart founder Sachin and Binny Bansal (not related), seeking details of income earned from the total payment received from the sale of their venture to Walmart, PTI reported citing an unidentified official. Bansals who hold a stake of over 5 percent each in the homegrown e-commerce site are Indian residents and liable to pay 20 percent income tax on the capital gains made from the stake sale, according to the Income Tax laws.
"As part of studying the Walmart-Flipkart deal, the international taxation division had written to Sachin and Binny Bansal asking them where they are assessed and where they would be filing their taxes. Since they file their income tax returns in Bangalore, the Assessing Officer there would now be in touch with them," PTI reported citing an unidentified official.

Both are required to deposit advance tax on the assessed income from the deal with the government, according to the tax law. Nearly 75 percent of that tax has to be deposited by December 15, 2018, and the remaining by March 15, 2019.
Earlier in August this year, global e-retailer Walmart purchased 77 percent stake for $16 billion in Flipkart. Already, Rs 7,439 crore tax has been deposited for buying out stake from 44 foreign shareholders in Flipkart, since a substantial value of the e-commerce giant's shares is being derived from India.
Meanwhile, n a dramatic turn of events, co-founder of Flipkart Binny Bansal chose to step down from his position as CEO of the e-retailer, US retail giant Walmart said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday. The decision followed an independent investigation into an allegation of 'serious personal misconduct'.

Workers' Compensation / 09.30.15
Uber Drivers and Other Workers in the Sharing Economy: What If They Get Hurt on the Job?
Companies like Uber, Lyft and TaskRabbit are examples of the so-called sharing economy, where technology matches people who need a service with people willing to work to perform the service. The technology company keeps a portion of the fee as a commission, with the rest going to the worker.
Sharing economy services have become increasingly popular, with many people earning a living from these companies. But the companies consider the workers to be independent contractors, arguing that many worker protections don't apply to them, in particular access to workers' compensation benefits.
Some people earn their entire living in the sharing economy, while others use it to supplement their income. For instance, according to the digital marketing site DMR:
Uber has more than 8 million users.
160,000 people driver for Uber, with more than 50,000 drivers added monthly.
Uber is in nearly 300 U.S. cities.
The average number of daily trips on Uber is 1 million.
There were 140 million Uber rides in 2014 alone.
About half of Uber drivers drive less than 15 hours per week.
Half of Uber drivers did not drive to make money before Uber.
Are Sharing Economy Workers Employees or Independent Contractors?
With more and more Millennials becoming a part of the sharing economy they created, questions about how to reformulate worker programs, including health insurance, sick and vacation time and workers' compensation, have come to the fore.
Typically, workers in the sharing economy are considered independent contractors and can't access workers' compensation, which protects workers and provides benefits when they have been hurt on the job.
Some of these workers have been hurt while earning money for themselves and Uber.
Examples include drivers in Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco who have been injured or assaulted by passengers. One Los Angeles Uber driver named Omar had his jaw broken in two places when a passenger hit him with a shiny object, as detailed in a Forbes article.
Omar, who did not have health insurance, underwent surgery and was in the hospital for a week. But Uber considered itself to be under no obligation to help him with his medical bills or provide workers' compensation benefits.
"Unlike employees, independent contractors are largely free to set their own hours, pick their own clients and control other aspects of their work," the Forbes article states. "In exchange, if they get hurt while working, whatever the reason, they're on their own. Some sharing-economy workers are experienced freelancers, but many — like Omar — have never before relied on contract work for their full-time income, and they may not realize the full stakes of the tradeoff."
The article also stated Omar may have good reasons to think Uber should pay for his injuries. While most taxi drivers in the United States are also considered independent contractors, they also are eligible for workers' compensation in many places.
In addition, driving as a profession has always had risks for violence. While apps eliminate the handling of cash, other risks remain, such as working alone, serving people who have been drinking and working at night and in unsafe neighborhoods. Federal statistics indicate drivers are 21 to 33 times more likely to be killed as compared to other workers, according to the article.
Companies worry that providing workers' compensation coverage to shared economy workers could make them look more like employees, which could affect lawsuits from some of these workers who have said they are misclassified as contractors and are in fact employees, the Forbes article stated.
And while workers' compensation could actually protect companies such as Uber – when injuries are covered by workers' comp, the worker usually can't sue the company for additional damages – it poses challenges in other areas. For instance, workers' compensation is meant to replace wages, which would be difficult to determine for contractors who set their own hours, particularly if they work for more than one service.
"There are parts of workers' compensation that these companies could take on," Denise Cheng said in the Forbes article. She is an MIT affiliate researcher whose thesis focuses on labor in the sharing economy. "It could parallel or mirror a lot of what workers' compensation looks like on a legal basis. But it might not make sense to call it workers' comp."
Courts Struggle to Categorize Sharing Economy Workers
The workers' compensation issue is one part of the question on how to classify those who work in the shared economy, and how to determine worker benefits in the future. Several independent contractors have filed suit.
Uber is appealing a court ruling that a San Francisco-based driver is an employee, rather than an independent contractor, and is eligible for reimbursement of expenses, according to Insurance Journal.
Insurance Journal also reported how in a ruling that a class-action lawsuit against Lyft should go to trial, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria wrote: "At first glance, Lyft drivers don't seem much like employees. … But Lyft drivers don't seem much like independent contractors either."
The Insurance Journal article discussed a suggestion from Arun Sundararajan, a New York University professor who has researched the sharing economy, made in Financial Times: Separate benefits like health coverage and workers' compensation from full-time employment.
"Another that's been getting renewed attention lately would be to add a new legal class of worker somewhere between the employee and the independent contractor — the 'dependent contractor,'" the Insurance Journal article stated.
In the Forbes article, Peers executive director Shelby Clark indicated something similar, suggesting more and more workers will need to get their benefits outside of traditional jobs as work and benefits will separate, just like pensions have in many cases.
If you have been injured in South Carolina while working for a sharing economy company such as Lyft, Uber or TaskRabbit, you should consult with an experienced workplace injury attorney to explore your potential options for recovering compensation.

B.C. Human Rights Commissioner issues guidance on COVID-19 mask policies
Discrimination Media Release
Vancouver B.C. – The Human Rights Commissioner is calling on employers, landlords and service providers across B.C. to ensure their COVID-19 masking policies accommodate people who cannot wear a mask based on grounds protected by the B.C. Human Rights Code.
In a statement released today, Commissioner Kasari Govender provides guidelines that detail how masking requirements must accommodate people with disabilities or medical conditions that prevent them from using non-medical masks.
Since the outset of the pandemic people have reportedly been refused services because they were not wearing masks or face coverings. In some cases, people cannot wear masks due to a medical condition or disability—and discrimination on the basis of disability is prohibited under B.C.'s Human Rights Code. The guidance released today explains that those developing mask wearing policies must take every step possible to accommodate people protected by the Code, short of undue hardship.
"Following public health guidance, including wearing a mask in many circumstances, is an important way to protect the most marginalized and medically vulnerable people among us," Commissioner Govender said. "But when we require people to wear masks, it's important to ensure that those who cannot wear them do not face automatic negative consequences like losing their job or being denied key services."
Govender clarified that personal preference is not a good reason for non-compliance with masking policies.
"No one should have to be exposed to the virus—or excluded from public spaces—because others refuse to follow public health guidance merely as a matter of personal choice," Govender added. "Human rights principles must be at the core of our response to the pandemic: the surest way to guard against inequality and injustice during the pandemic is to ensure that all of our actions are evidence-based and follow current public health advice."
B.C.'s Provincial Health Officer has stated that non-medical masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by limiting the spread of droplets from the wearer's mouth and nose. The PHO has not required masks to be worn in indoor public spaces, but some service providers have made masks mandatory for individuals receiving services and employees performing their work duties. The PHO has now recommended that people wear non-medical masks in all indoor public spaces.
"Health and safety guidelines are put in place to keep people safe while allowing them to live their lives. If a person who should be protected by B.C.'s Human Rights Code experiences harassment or other discrimination as a result of those guidelines, it means our response to COVID-19 is missing the mark."

Quotes from Commissioner Kasari Govender
"We must be vigilant about how ableism factors into how people are treated during the pandemic. Whether or not it is intended, we do a disservice to our communities when mask-wearing policies fail to consider the needs of people with disabilities and other protected groups. While it might seem like mask-wearing separates us from each other further, it's actually a collective action that can bring us together in spirit to protect our health and uphold human rights for all"
"In the face of a continuing global pandemic, the actions of service providers, landlords, employers, and organizations have a profound collective impact on the state of human rights in B.C. As we navigate these uncertain times, we must all ensure we are doing our part to advance human dignity and respect in our society while keeping each other safe."

My Broken Language
by Quiara Alegría Hudes
GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK • The Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright and co-writer of In the Heights tells her lyrical story of coming of age against the backdrop of an ailing Philadelphia barrio, with her sprawling Puerto Rican family as a collective muse.
LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, New York Public Library, BookPage, and BookRiot • "Quiara Alegría Hudes is in her own league. Her sentences will take your breath away. How lucky we are to have her telling our stories."—Lin-Manuel Miranda, award-winning creator of Hamilton and In the Heights
Quiara Alegría Hudes was the sharp-eyed girl on the stairs while her family danced their defiance in a tight North Philly kitchen. She was awed by her mother and aunts and cousins, but haunted by the unspoken, untold stories of the barrio—even as she tried to find her own voice in the sea of language around her, written and spoken, English and Spanish, bodies and books, Western art and sacred altars. Her family became her private pantheon, a gathering circle of powerful orisha-like women with tragic real-world wounds, and she vowed to tell their stories—but first she'd have to get off the stairs and join the dance. She'd have to find her language.
Weaving together Hudes's love of music with the songs of her family, the lessons of North Philly with those of Yale, this is a multimythic dive into home, memory, and belonging—narrated by an obsessed girl who fought to become an artist so she could capture the world she loved in all its wild and delicate beauty.

Q: Pyside2 signal slots 2d array signature definition, equivalent for list of list I am trying to connect a signal that emits a 2D array to a slot that processes that list of list.
I am using @Slot(list) in my slot definition and SIGNAL("slot_method(QList<QList<QString>>)") but that doesn't seem to work.
I would like to know what is proper conversion of a list of lists in Qt terms.

A: In Python there are no 2D lists, there are only lists so you must use the signature list.
Example:
from PySide2 import QtCore

class Sender(QtCore.QObject):
    signal = QtCore.Signal(list)

    def on_test(self):
        l = [["a", "b", "c", "d"], ["A", "B", "C", "D"]]
        self.signal.emit(l)

class Receiver(QtCore.QObject):
    @QtCore.Slot(list)
    def on_receiver(self, l):
        print(l)
        QtCore.QCoreApplication.quit()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    app = QtCore.QCoreApplication(sys.argv)

    sender = Sender()
    receiver = Receiver()
    sender.signal.connect(receiver.on_receiver)
    QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(1000, sender.on_test)

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Henry George
Henry George books and biography
Henry George (September 2, 1839 – October 29, 1897) was an American political economist and the most influential proponent of the "Single Tax" on land. He is the author of Progress and Poverty, written in 1879.

Biographical Summary
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, George went to sea, before the mast, at age 15 in April 1855 on the Hindoo. He returned to Philadelphia after 14 months at sea to become an apprentice typesetter before settling in California. After a failed attempt at gold mining he started to work his way up through the newspaper industry, starting as a printer and ending up an editor and proprietor. Some of his earliest articles to gain him fame were on his opinion that Chinese immigration should be restricted. He later retracted those early writings.
On a trip to New York City George was struck by the apparent paradox that the poor in that long-established city were much worse off than the poor in less developed California. This paradox supplied the theme and title for his 1879 book Progress and Poverty, which was a huge success, selling over 3 million copies. In it George made the argument that a sizeable portion of the wealth created by social and technological advances in a free market economy is captured by land owners and monopolists via economic rents, and that this concentration of unearned wealth is the root cause of poverty. George considered it a great injustice that private profit was being earned from restricting access to natural resources while productive activity was burdened with heavy taxes, and held that such a system was equivalent to slavery - a concept somewhat similar to wage slavery. The appropriation of oil royalties by magnates of petrol-rich countries may be seen as an equivalent form of rent-seeking activity: since natural resources are given freely by Nature rather than being products of human labor or entrepreneurship, no single individual should be allowed to acquire unearned revenues by monopolizing their commerce. The same holds true about every other mineral and biological raw resource.
George was in a position to discover this pattern, having experienced poverty himself, knowing many different societies from his travels, and living in California at a time of rapid growth. In particular he had noticed that the construction of railroads in California was pushing up land values and rents as fast or faster than wages were rising.
Policy proposals
Henry George is best known for advocating the abolition of all taxes save those on land value. By doing so, the state could avoid having to tax any other types of wealth or transaction. The clearest statement of this view is found in Progress and Poverty: "We must make land common property." [1]. George formulated a comprehensive set of economic policies. He was highly critical of restrictive patents and copyrights (though he amended his views on the latter when it was explained to him that copyrights do not constrain independent reinvention in the manner of patents). He also advocated the replacement of patents with government supported incentives for invention and scientific investigation and dismantling of monopolies when possible – and taxation or regulation of natural monopolies. Overall, he advocated a combination of unfettered free markets and significant social programs made possible by economically efficient taxes on land rent and monopolies. Modern economists like the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize winner Milton Friedman agree that Henry George's land tax is potentially beneficial because unlike other taxes, land taxes impose no excess burden on the economy, and thus stimulate more rapid economic growth. Modern day environmentalists have resonated with the idea of the earth as the common property of humanity – and some have endorsed the idea of ecological tax reform, including substantial taxes or fees on pollution as a replacement for "command and control" regulation.
Death and subsequent influence
In 1886 George ran for mayor of New York City, and polled second (ahead of Theodore Roosevelt). He ran again in 1897, but died 4 days before the election. An estimated 100,000 people attended his funeral.
According to his grand-daughter Agnes de Mille, Progress and Poverty and its successors made Henry George the third most famous man in the USA, behind only Mark Twain and Thomas Edison. [2] He was also popular as a speaker, even making several speaking trips abroad to places such as Ireland and Scotland where access to land was (and still is) a major political issue. His ideas were taken up to some degree in South Africa, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia – where state governments still levy a land value tax, albeit low and with many exemptions. An attempt by the Liberal Government of the day to implement his ideas in 1909 as part of the People's Budget caused a crisis in Britain which led indirectly to reform of the House of Lords. Henry George was familiar with the work of Karl Marx – and predicted that if Marx's ideas were tried the likely result would be a dictatorship.
Henry George's popularity declined in the 20th century; however, there are still many Georgist organizations in existence, and many people who do remain famous were heavily influenced by him, such as George Bernard Shaw, Leo Tolstoy, Sun Yat Sen, Herbert Simon [3], and David Lloyd George. A follower of George, Lizzie Magie, created a board game called The Landlord's Game in 1904 to demonstrate his theories. After further development this game led to the modern board game, Monopoly.
Notable is also Silvio Gesell's Freiwirtschaft, in which Gesell combined Henry George's ideas about land ownership and rents with his own theory about the money system and interest rates and his successive development of Freigeld.
In his last book, Martin Luther King referenced Henry George in support of a guaranteed minimum income.[4] In the 2004 Presidential campaign, Ralph Nader mentioned Henry George in his platform.[5] Congressman Dennis Kucinich has positively mentioned Henry George in speeches. [6]
The Henry George Foundation of America[7], a 501 (c) 4 non-profit foundation, was founded in 1926 by some of the leading lights of the progressive Democratic Party in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh Mayors Scully and McNair, City Assessor Percy Williams, State Senator and Allegheny County Democratic Chairman Bernard B. McGinnis, and Councilman George Evans (driving force behind Buhl Planetarium). Its national office is now located in Philadelphia, where Henry George was born.
The Center for the Study of Economics[8], a 501 (c) 3 non-profit educational foundation, was established in 1980 as the sister organization of the Henry George Foundation of America. Its mission is to research land value taxation, to assist governments in implementation and to study the effect of land based property taxation where used. It suggests implementation where appropriate but does not support political candidates or become involved in the electoral process. The Center also gathers and disseminates articles, studies and monographs on the subject of land based taxation.
The Henry George Foundation of America and The Center for the Study of Economics played instrumental roles in helping nearly 20 Pennsylvania cities transform their local property tax into a revenue source which taxes land value more and improvement value less. As a pilot for a North American Land Value Tax Project, these organizations have created the Maryland Land Value Tax Project[9] has a means of allowing citizens, elected officials and policy analysts to estimate the net property tax change effects of an incremental implementation of Henry George's land value tax.
The Robert Schalkenbach Foundation [10], an incorporated "operating foundation," also publishes copies of George's work on economic reform and sponsors academic research into his policy proposals[11].
George's theory of interest
George developed what he saw as a crucial feature of his own theory of economics in a critique of an illustration used by Frédéric Bastiat in order to explain the nature of interest and profit.
Bastiat had asked his readers to consider James and William, both carpenters. James has built himself a plane, and has lent it to William for a year. Would James be satisfied with the return of an equally good plane a year later? Plainly not! He'd expect a board along with it, as interest. The key to a theory of interest is to understand why. Bastiat said that James had given William over that year "the power, inherent in the instrument, to increase the productivity of his labor," and wants compensation for that increased productivity.
George didn't accept this explanation. He wrote, "I am inclined to think that if all wealth consisted of such things as planes, and all production was such as that of carpenters -- that is to say, if wealth consisted but of the inert matter of the universe, and production of working up this inert matter into different shapes, that interest would be but the robbery of industry, and could not long exist." But some wealth is inherently fruitful, like a pair of breeding cattle, or a vat of grape juice soon to ferment into wine, or ... land. Planes and other sorts of inert matter (and the most lent item of all -- money itself) earns interest indirectly, only by being part of the same social "circle of exchange" with fruitful forms of wealth such as those.
George's theory drew its share of critiques. Austrian school economist Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, for example, expressed a negative judgment on George's discussion of the carpenter's plane:
In the first place, it is impossible to support his distinction of the branches of production into two classes, in one of which the vital forces of nature are supposed to constitute a special element which functions side by side with labour, and in the other of which this is not true. [...] The natural sciences have long since proved to us that the cooperation of nature is universal. [...] The muscular movements of the person using the plane would be of little use, if they did not have the assistance of the natural forces and properties of the plane iron.
Another spirited response came from British biologist T.H. Huxley in his article "Capital - the Mother of Labour," published in 1890 in the journal The Nineteenth Century. Huxley used the principles of energy science to undermine George's theory, arguing that, energetically speaking, labor is unproductive.
George's theory of interest is nowadays dismissed even by some otherwise Georgist authors, who see it as mistaken and irrelevent to his ideas about land and free trade.

North Korean cellular operator Koryolink has 3 million subscriptions, according to a report from Reuters.
The figure was provided by a Koryolink staffer to Reuters correspondent James Pearson, who was in Pyongyang last week to cover the 70th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea.
No more details were provided, which is run-of-the-mill for Koryolink. Orascom Telecom and Media Technology (OTMT), the Cairo-based owners of 75 percent of Koryolink, rarely offer any details about the performance of the operator and typically ignore requests to provide subscriber numbers.
The last update was just over a year ago, when Koryolink claimed 2.4 million subscribers, so the latest figure represents a rise of around 600,000 users in about a year.
The actual number of people with Koryolink phones is probably lower because some people have several lines to save money rather than do expensive top-ups on their numbers.
Earlier this week, the Daily NK reported that smartphones are becoming an increasingly popular way to connect to the national intranet service for downloading of music or movies. The report said people who do so take pride in their access and play downloaded media in public as a way of showing off their status.
Smartphones are also becoming an important way for people to access and read the daily Rodong Sinmun, especially outside of Pyongyang where distribution problems can sometimes mean no newspapers for days, the report said.
But for the extra subscribers Koryolink is managing to attract, the most interesting aspect of its business is the inability of OTMT to get any profits out of North Korea and back to Egypt.
The issue recently became public when OTMT noted that it's holds hundreds of millions of dollars at the official exchange rate in North Korea but cannot move it out of the country without government approval. The government appears unwilling to issue such approval because it cannot afford to see the funds leave the country.
The North Korean government has responded by launching its own cellular operator, possibly in an attempt to reduce the market share or Koryolink or force a merger during which OTMT would probably ended up losing all or some of its cash.

I wanted to thank you for the coaching that you gave to Ann Cam School. Their u9s kwik cricket team won the district tournament last week & then won their group & got through to the semifinal of the county stage at Wycliffe College on Tuesday. I think for a primary school of 92 pupils they did incredibly well and that reflects well on the Chance to Shine programme that you, and latterly Ross Martin, provided to Ann Cam. Losing to a school from Bristol of 400 pupils was no disgrace!

This is the second class time of working on this project. During the first week we discussed abstraction & looked at images of abstracted animals...as well as examples of birds depicted in Native American work. During our second class time, we reviewed the color wheel & analogous colors. Students selected their colors and painted their birds. We plan to spend a partial class using black to add definition to their images. This project is hit & miss for me. Some of the students are really doing some interesting things...while others are just mixing their colors all together into one(even though we discussed this prior to painting). I'm hoping the black saves the day!! Stay tuned...I'll be sure to share.
