The major factor in the 2015 Iran nuclear negotiations- a 12 month non-negotiable "breakout window" and the checks needed to enforce it
03/21/2015
The "breakout window" is a term that refers to the time it would take for Iran to break out of an agreement controlling its weapons development and rushing towards development of a nuclear weapon. Britain, France and the U.S. agree that a minimum of 12 months is needed. Surveillance efforts will have to be intensified even with a deal to see that it is enforced.

Canada's CRTC broadcast regulator and the new rules for consumer choice and flexibility in buying television channels services
03/20/2015
Canada's regulator says the television companies had failed to provide flexible packaging options on their own making it necessary for it to act to give consumers choice, flexibility and better pricing. This makes Canada a leader in this pro-consumer effort for fair bundling of TV channels by TV companies. The U.S. and other countries remain a laggard in this field with heavy lobbying by television companies to preserve a status quo that hurts consumers.

VW Audi decided to use Mexico instead of the U.S. state of Tennessee for a $1.3 billion manufacturing plant investment in 2015, not just because of low manufacturing cost, but also because it can export more easily from Mexico. The U.S. has fewer free trade agreements than Mexico.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
