African Money Laundering Moves to Canada

http://ift.tt/2fUT9nJ

The looting of Africa by its elites with the witting or unwitting complicity of overseas partners is an old, sad song. Looters are flexible and clever. As Britain and France tighten the screws on money laundering, looters have begun to look elsewhere. A recent investigation by Canadian media and African Arguments shows the growing popularity of Montreal as a place for francophone African elites to launder their money. Over a dozen politically connected francophone Africans have purchased real estate worth CAD 26 million, usually without a mortgage. While this is clearly evidence of a trend away from more traditional money-laundering cities, Montreal is far from the big leagues. A UK parliamentary committee estimated in 2016 that $130 billion from all geographical sources is laundered through the London real estate market each year.

Ransomware and IoT are Greatest Cyber-Threats of 2017

http://ift.tt/2qM09IW

“The last year has been the year of ransomware,” Ferguson said, noting that there has been an exponential 748% increase on the previous year, resulting in $1bn of losses in 2016. Lyne called ransomware “a deviation from what people would expect. Cyber-criminals are producing high-quality, convincing malicious code with ransomware.”

Return filing under GST

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Submission of details of transaction that the business was indulged in for a given period , in prescribed period can be termed as ‘Return’. It can also be described as periodic statement of transactions carried out by organization. Every Act has certain returns prescribed which has to be filed with certain departments / authorities etc. Even before GST , if we take service tax law there was ST-3 return which was filed half – yearly and due date was within 25 days from the end of half year. We now proceed further for understanding returns under GST.

Edge Wind Announces that NREL Tests Show Edge Aerodynamix’s New Conformal Vortex Generator Increases Wind Turbine Production 22.2%

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

LONG BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Edge

Wind
was spun out of Edge

Aerodynamix
to develop wind power applications of the Conformal

Vortex Generator (CVG) tape and tab technology that they developed for

aircraft wings and helicopter rotor blades. This technology increases

annual wind turbine energy production, provides protection from erosion

and impacts, reduces drag caused by leading edge erosion, reduces

startup speeds, and reduces vibrations. The CVG tape and tab is

installed rapidly by two technicians on a rope rig or aerial high lift

with minimal surface preparation.

Edge Wind has worked with the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory

to collect data over an eleven month period on the performance of the

CVG and Tab relative to industry standard edge protection tape on the

600 KW CART 2 wind turbine in Golden, Colorado.

5 minute average power and wind speed over five data was collected. The

data was filtered to remove noise from unstable wind. Data for the

baseline was limited at wind speeds over 15 meters per second and data

for the CVG + Tab is still being collected. The improved performance

over the CVG and Baseline is expected to continue once data is collected

for higher wind speeds.

NREL reported a 22.2% increase in KWH production from the CVG and the

Tab relative to a conventional leading edge taped blade along with a

20.9% increase for the CVG alone.
This shifts the power curve

between the cut-in and full production wind speeds. “This technology has

the potential to add the equivalent of an extra 100 GW of wind capacity

globally without having to install a single additional turbine,” said

Edge Wind CEO Ranbir Sahni. (See edgewind.net for details.)

AEP for CVG+TAB was limited due to reduced wind strength during test

period (which is ongoing). AEP based only on improvement for range of

test data, not extrapolated to show probable AEP for equal wind range.

Edge is currently looking for field trial sites with GE, Vestas, and

Siemens Gamesa turbines and low turbulence in the US & EU to collect the

data required to CFD model and optimize the design for each turbine

brand. Based on our experience from the B737 test process, we expect

that turbine model specific optimization will yield additional increases

in power output.

test results report and how your wind project could benefit from a field

trial with Edge Wind and NREL.
