Henderson s’est cassé le bras en sautant par-dessus les panneaux publicitaires après le match de l’Angleterre.
Il ne pourra plus disputer le reste de la Coupe du Monde.
Taiwan solved tax evasion in 1951 with a trick so cheap it should embarrass every tax authority on the planet.
The problem was an all-cash economy full of small shops. A merchant pockets the cash, skips the receipt, and the sale never existed. Auditors can't catch what was never recorded, and hiring enough of them to watch every noodle stand costs more than the missing tax.
So finance chief Ren Xianqun flipped the incentive. Print a lottery number on every receipt. Draw winners every two months on live TV. Top prize today: NT$10 million, about $310K.
Suddenly the customer and the shopkeeper want opposite things. The merchant wants the sale off the books. The customer wants the ticket. And there are millions more customers than merchants. Every transaction now carries a built-in witness demanding the paper trail.
Year one, reported tax revenue jumped 75%, from NT$29 million to NT$51 million. Seventy-five years later, roughly 70% of Taiwanese still play. Convenience stores redeem the smallest NT$200 prizes at the register, so even a coffee receipt feels like a scratch card.
The elegant part is what the audit force costs. The prize pool runs about NT$7 billion a year, roughly $20 million. In exchange, the government gets 23 million unpaid auditors working every checkout line in the country, forever. No inspector general on earth delivers that coverage at that price.
Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Slovakia all copied it. The most effective compliance tool ever built looks like a game, and that's exactly why it works.
Fun fact. Howard Lutnick missed work on 9/11 because he was bringing his son to school..for the first time ever he decided to be a dad. And the date of that school starting has not been confirmed. He lost everyone in his company that day. He also made an automated system that allowed him to not hire back the majority of people killed bc it took their jobs. He also sued American Airlines and won to the tune of $30 some odd million. He took the money and again, didn't have to replace anyone. He also cut off health insurance and payments to the families within 2 weeks. This matters because it sets the stage as to who he is as a human and sets the stage for what he's doing now. Coming tomorrow......bc f*ck you you child predator
Off topic mas aqui está um bom exemplo porque é que a RTP não pode ser tratada como uma máquina de fazer dinheiro como uma TV normal, guardam arquivos históricos super importantes e não só de Portugal
Les gars! You guys don’t realize how insane this was 😂😂😂
Déjà, le tennis est un sport sans chronomètre. Il n’y a pas de « temps réglementaire » On joue jusqu’à ce qu’un vainqueur émerge de la bataille.
Sauf à Wimbledon!!!!
Comme le tournoi est situé dans un quartier résidentiel, il est strictement interdit de jouer après 23h. Contrairement aux trois autres Grands Chelems (Roland-Garros, l’US Open et l’Open d’Australie), où les matchs peuvent se poursuivre bien après minuit et ne s’arrêtent généralement qu’à cause des intempéries.
Maintenant, ajoutons un peu de contexte!!!
Avant ce match, Coco Gauff et Belinda Bencic s’étaient déjà affrontées 7 fois. Coco menait 5 victoires à 2. Puis, lors du China Open 2025, une grosse dispute éclata entre elles lorsque Bencic accusa l’équipe de Coco de faire volontairement du bruit juste avant ses services. Une accusation finalement sans fondement, mais l’animosité était bien là!!!
Nous voilà donc pour leur 8ème confrontation!!!
Bencic remporte le premier set.
Coco répond en prenant le deuxième.
Direction un troisième set décisif: le pire scénario possible!!!
Pourquoi? Parce que les deux savaient qu’avec le couvre-feu de 23h, une interruption pouvait tout changer: le rythme, les sensations, le momentum… tout.
Et c’est là que le cinéma commence.
Un officiel arrive sur le court.
« Mesdames, il ne vous reste qu’un seul jeu avant le couvre-feu
🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️
Coco sert pour le match: si elle se fait breaker, elles reviendront le lendemain avec une Bencic complètement relancée après avoir recollé au score dans ce dernier set.
Et si elle tient son service, c’est terminé.
Imaginez la pression: les supporters de Bencic donnent de la voix. Le stade est en ébullition. Une seule occasion. Aucun droit à l’erreur.
AND SHE DID IT!!!!
Elle a gardé son sang-froid, conclu le match et évité une reprise le lendemain qui aurait pu complètement renverser la dynamique.
Absolute CINEMA

"Se você quer saber como um homem é, veja como ele trata os inferiores, e não os seus iguais." (Sirius Black, no livro Harry Potter e o Cálice de Fogo)
She was 26 years old. An investigative journalist reporting on Colombia's armed conflict - the stories nobody else would touch. Paramilitaries intercepted her at the prison gate. What followed lasted hours. When it was over they left her on a road outside Bogotá.
She reported it. The case was stalled for over a decade. She kept reporting. Was kidnapped again in 2003. Held for five days. Released. Kept reporting. In 2011 she took Colombia to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. On October 18 2021 the court ruled. The Colombian state was responsible. The first time in history a government had been found responsible for using violence to silence a woman journalist.
She launched #NoEsHoraDeCallar - It's Not Time to Stay Silent. Hundreds of thousands of women across Latin America told their stories because she told hers first. The ruling became a legal weapon for women journalists across the continent. The UN named her global ambassador against s3xual violence in conflict. Her name is Jineth Bedoya Lima.
Jane Goodall had a very similar feeling. When one of the chimps she worked with killed a baby it was not at all unexpected. They all thought he would if given the chance and that’s why no children were ever allowed there. Parents who worked there made a terrible mistake. Jane
