It's near impossible to work as a professional academic without learning English well enough to publish in it. Furthermore, in many fields you need to move countries during your academic journey and learn a language. For example my pre

Honestly, rewatching Breaking Bad, and while fictional I have to commend the attention to detail and realism in their laundering process. The part where Skylar tells Walt that $7M would take up to 10yrs to rinse through their carwash busine

There's a marked difference between an individual's right to privacy and that of a business. Shell companies are financial instruments designed to obfuscate ownership, usually for tax evasion purposes. Therefore increased transpar

You either have no knowledge of the topic or have some secret source of information that has evaded the world's historians, because it is a fairly acknowledged fact supported by both Allied and Japanese sources. Japan didn't even

Refreshing to see my old Prof quoted. This is an intensely intriguing area of research, not only the natural occurring phenomenon of infantile amnesia but also the experiments created to explore this area. For example tagging and reactivati

Depends when they made that trip. I lived in that area for a while. The train is a little bit exxy and only used to go to Greensquare. You'd need two buses otherwise and there is sfa room for bags, so if you have luggage etc a taxi is

That's revenue my man. Uber's last quarter income from operations was $658m. So $180m isn't far off 10%. Also look at same time the year before, they are way in the hole. This fine will hurt them (if they ever have to pay it)

This is an issue with using citations has the measure of everything. If I am writing a paper and mention a particular study that failed to replicate in subsequent attempts, I still cite the original paper. It is understandable that a semina
