German offshore accounts in tax havens in the UK and Switzerland
04/05/2012
Efforts by Germany to reach an agreement with the Swiss government and opposition leaders of the SDP and Greens on offshore accounts of Germans which are not taxed. These accounts in Switzerland hold an estimated $160 billion. Differences on what is an equitable rate of taxes.

Germany already has reached an agreement with the UK government.

Toyota's International Multipurpose Vehicles (IMV) series
04/07/2012
Production capacity is over 1 million vehicles for the IMV series designed on a single platform for emerging markets to serve minivan, SUV and other needs. Toyota is the first company to do so. The IMV series represents 10% of Toyota sales. Toyota's goal is to secure 50% of its sales from emerging markets, up from 40% today, and the IMV series is part of the strategy to reach that goal. Toyota is moving more of the design development and manufacturing to emerging markets so that the vehicles can be made to suit local conditions and protect against currency fluctuations for the yen.

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.
