How We Are Governed
How We Are Governed explores interdisciplinary relations between communication and politics. It brings together diverse perspectives from the field of Communication and Media Studies, focusing on formal arenas of politics and public policy as well as politics in the broad sense of an informal negotiation of social relations of power between people. The book deals with questions about governing across many different domains, paying particular attention to communicative practices and technolo.

China Requests More Data From Large Businesses Under \Thousand Groups Project\
On Jul 20, 2016, the Taxation and Fiscal Committee of the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD (BIAC) published meeting minutes from discussions with China's State Administration of Taxation (SAT) about its \"Thousand Groups Project.\" The SAT launched the Project in late 2015 as a revolutionary initiative to solve, by 2020, perceived problems of information asymmetry and to enhance its capability and efficiency with respect to large businesses via data mining and analysis. One of the Project's key features was to collect a full set of financial, tax, and accounting data from about 1,000 large business groups operating in China. The Project was devised and led by the Large Business Administration Department of the SAT (LEAD). The Project initially caused great concern among the business community, especially multinational corporations, because the Chinese tax authorities could request data that covered a wider area and was more detailed than reported tax information.

Hydrodynamic void formation in a thin channel with a cavity feature
Numerical modeling has been used to investigate the voiding behavior of a law Reynolds steady two-phase flow in a thin gap containing a cavity feature. This work investigates how the bulk interface between fluids behaves in the presence of a wall cavity as a function of the capillary (Ca) and Reynolds (Re) numbers, contact angle ( ), phase ratio (Rea/Re r), cavity entrance angle (α) and cavity depth to gap ratio (d/L). A void for the purpose of this study is the capture of the receding phase in the advancing phase within the cavity region. The voiding potential was found to be a strong function of the and Ca and weakly dependent on Re. The Stokes approximation for modeling low Re flow is found to be a valid assumption for all but the highest Re flow regime investigated in this study (Re ∼ 1). Contact angle is found to be the key parameter to successful wetting behavior and the complete displacement of the receding fluid phase. Regardless of the hydrodynamic conditions and cavity geometry, selecting a suitably small contact angle can eliminate voiding. A low capillary number helps to: reduce the contact angle when voiding is first observed, minimize the size of the void and quicken interface recovery after passing through the cavity area. The cavity approach or entrance angle strongly affects the onset of voiding as well as the ensuing void fraction within the cavity. The scaling of the cavity feature with respect to the gap height, contributes strongly to void formation and size, increasing as the depth to gap ratio reduces in magnitude. The Reynolds phase ratio (Rea/Rer) has a minor effect with respect to void size but does modify the contact angle at which voiding is initiated, gradually increasing as the ratio increases.

UK Changes Definition of Permanent Establishment
The changes to the definition or permanent establishment (PE) in Great Britain is discussed. The British Finance Act 2019 includes the legislation required to update domestic law to align with the country's position on changes to the PE definition arising from the OECD's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project and included within the Multilateral Instrument. This effectively expands the definition of PE in the country which together with forthcoming changes to many double tax treaties is likely to result in additional PE. The BEPS project included a workstream focused on reviewing the PE threshold to address situations where taxpayers were setting up arrangements seen as intended to avoid having a PE. In order to adopt the proposed changes to the PE definition from Action 7, changes to double tax treaties, as well as domestic law changes, would be required.

Meeting the expectations of today's agent
Today's life insurance professional is being asked to bring more and more to the table. Take a securities license, for example, Five years ago it was mostly just a nice thing to have - today it is practically a prerequisite for success. Designations such as CLU, CFP, and ChFC - or at the very least a verifiable effort to obtain them - are also becoming more important, as is getting licensed in more than one state. All things being equal, what can - indeed, what should - an agent expect the companies that are clamoring for his or her business to bring to the table? Product is usually the first item on an agent's mind. Companies that expect to attract, retain, and motivate successful agents need to offer a broad portfolio of both insurance and equities-related products. An agent's primary company should also be competitive in everything it manufactures.
