The House Government Operations Subcommittee on Executive and Legislative Reorganization, chaired by Congressman Chet Holifield of California, convened on July 22, 23, and August 4, to take testimony on Reorganization Plan Number 3. Lead witness Russell Train gave it unqualified support, predicting that its "vision of clean air and water...will provide us with the unity and the leadership necessary to protect the environment." Roy Ash testified the following day about the fragmented state of pollution control, the continuation of which "will seriously limit our solving the problem even as we expand our commitment to preserve and restore the quality of our environment." [...] Congressman John Dingell of Michigan presented the only serious alternatives to Reorganization Plan Number 3. A strongwilled conservationist, Dingell wondered why the EPA encompassed neither water and sewer programs in the Departments of Agriculture and Housing and Urban Development, nor the environmental operations of the Defense and Transportation Departments. He proposed that instead of erecting EPA, the House consider a more comprehensive, cabinet-level Department of Environmental Quality. Despite his suggestion, both subcommittees approved the President's proposal and issued reports: the Holifield Committee on September 23, the Ribicoff panel six days later.

However, that was not just the view of the usual range of environmental non-governmental organisations; groups such as the Confederation of British Industry, the Quarry Products Association, and the Consumer Council all backed that call. We have seen in recent weeks that that is not just a good idea; it is now an essential idea. [...] I support the creation of an EPA — and I assure Members that this is a personal view, not a party view — because I believe that we need a strong independent voice to stand by the environment in Northern Ireland — a voice that will state, when things go wrong, that that cannot be allowed to continue. The EHS cannot do that because it is within the Government structures; if it tried to do so, it would be sat on, either by its own Department or by the greater Executive, and told not to rock the boat.

From social media platforms to instant messaging apps like WhatsApp, people are constantly communicating and sharing information through various digital channels. As a result, the courts have had to adapt to this new form of evidence and determine its admissibility in legal proceedings. Digital evidence refers to any type of information or data that is stored or transmitted electronically and can be used as proof in a court case. This includes text messages, emails, social media posts, GPS location data, and more. Such evidence can play a crucial role in legal cases as it provides concrete proof of conversations or actions that may have taken place. The use of digital evidence has become particularly relevant in criminal cases where it can help establish timelines, corroborate witness statements, and even provide alibis. In civil cases, it can be used to prove agreements between parties or document instances of harassment or discrimination. However, the admissibility of digital evidence in court cases is not always straightforward. | 2020-01-01 | Half True | false | true | insufficient-supports |

Under the erstwhile Evidence Act, the acceptable formats of electronic evidence were restricted to paper, optical, or magnetic forms such as CD ROMs. The BSA has now included semiconductor memory like SD cards as a format of electronic evidence and communication devices as a source of electronic records.[3] Consequently, messages, chats, or voice recordings on mobile phones can be produced before courts as evidence. The BSA has not only expanded the sources of electronic evidence but has also enhanced its significance. Previously the Evidence Act classified electronic records only as secondary evidence. If an original document, considered primary evidence, is unavailable, secondary evidence such as copies or descriptions can be presented to the court with its prior approval.

The enactment of the BMA provided for a separate taxation mechanism for undisclosed asset located outside India and undisclosed foreign income in addition to the existing provisions contained in the Income Tax Act, 1961 ("IT Act"). The provisions of BMA were made applicable to persons who were tax residents of India when undisclosed foreign income was earned or an undisclosed asset outside India was acquired. In essence, if an Indian resident failed to pay tax on such foreign income or the source of acquisition of the undisclosed asset, the BMA would be triggered. Upon its enactment, the BMAopeneda compliance window of three months from July 2015 to September 2015 for disclosure of assets located outside India and payment of tax of 30% and 100% of the tax as penalty.

(Vani) Hari (The Food Babe) explains that this additive is a byproduct of oil processing, including partially hydrogenated canola and soybean oils. This additive is a byproduct of oil processing which contains artificial trans fat – a danger food ingredient known to cause coronary heart disease and linked to 50,000 fatal heart attacks a year." (Side note: The FDA finally determined that trans fats are no longer generally recognized as safe for food use in 2016 and yet mono-and diglycerides are the "the go-to replacement."

[...] Apeel is composed of "food-grade mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids derived from plants." The FDA categorizes monoglycerides as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) food additives and ingredients, indicating that they do not pose an immediate health risk. Currently, food producers typically use monoglycerides and diglycerides in small quantities, making it difficult to determine the impact of consuming large amounts of these fats on human health. Monoglycerides contain small traces of trans fats, which occur naturally in various types of meat, dairy, and, to a lesser extent, plant- or nut-based oils. While small amounts of trans fats are not concerning, consuming significant quantities of trans fats has been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. | 2023-05-29 | False | false | true | insufficient-contradictory |

But more often than not, we are terribly mistaken. Ancient civilizations are usually underestimated. History shows us that they repeatedly demonstrated incredible ingenuity and engineering prowess, even in the most distant past. From the stone age to the advent of metallurgy, these cultures thrived despite all. But still, certain ancient innovations and technologies remain a great enigma, as they cannot be replicated and fully understood. The mystery of ancient engineering challenges modern perception of the world’s first civilizations. Were they smarter than we think? [...] The exact process through which the Romans created such advanced art pieces remains a mystery, especially since nanotechnology was only understood by modern science in the 20th century. All this tells us that ancient artisans certainly possessed knowledge and techniques that were much more advanced than we first thought. [...] These ten incredible feats of ancient engineering are proof enough that our distant ancestors were much more sophisticated than we first thought. What is more, they definitely had an eye for art and magnificence and spared no effort or expense in order to create them. | 2024-10-07 | False | false | true | insufficient-neutral |

They insist that the primitive methods used by early modern and ancient Egyptian stone masons were not enough and that it must have been with more advanced equipment that the ancient Egyptians bored through solid granite. They argue that this is evidence that the ancient Egyptians and other civilizations were much more technologically sophisticated than is currently believed. While it is possible that more advanced technologies could have been developed by earlier civilizations then anticipated, there does not appear to be much reliable evidence to support this idea. If the ancient Egyptians did cut through granite with equipment such as electric drills or lasers or similarly advanced technology, these hewn granite slabs are the only evidence for it that we have. So far, there is no indisputable evidence of physical remains of electrical batteries or wires or anything else that would suggest that the ancient Egyptians used technology that was more advanced than what is expected for that period. [...] There is one case which some proponents of the idea that ancient Egypt was more advanced than contemporary archaeology would suggest - evidence that the ancient Egyptians used light bulbs.

Their tools were diverse and much more compact, including small triangular stone points that could have been used as projectiles. "Things start out big and clunky and they become small and portable," Potts says of the shift. "It’s like the history of technology ever since." [...] With resources scarce or in flux, ancient humans were likely forced to travel farther away from familiar lands, she notes. "Did that lead to them discovering different types of resources?

During 2023-24, net inflows of foreign portfolio investments (FPI) to India, both debt and equity, recorded a sharp turnaround, reaching its second-highest level ever at US$ 44.6 billion (BoP basis). During the current fiscal year so far (up to June 12, 2024), FPI flows were negative at (-) US$ 3.9 billion. External commercial borrowings (ECB) flows (net of principal repayments and intercompany borrowings) turned positive in 2023-24 from net outflows in the previous year. Also, both rupee-denominated and foreign currency denominated non-resident deposit schemes recorded inflows throughout 2023-24. Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows moderated, partly due to a rise in repatriations from India (Table 1.1). [...] An analysis for the period January 2010 – March 2024 suggests that net FPI inflows to Indian equities have remained lower during months of high geopolitical uncertainty, as measured by the geopolitical risk (GPR) index (Caldara and Iacoviello, 2022) than during other months (Table 2).

The first claim is that FDI equity flow has gone up by 47%. The OECD defines FDI flows as the ‘value of cross-border transactions related to direct investment during a given period of time, usually a quarter or a year. Financial flows consist of equity transactions, reinvestment of earnings, and intercompany debt transactions. Outward flows represent transactions that increase the investment that investors in the reporting economy have in enterprises in a foreign economy, such as through purchases of equity or reinvestment of earnings. Inward flows represent transactions that increase the investment that foreign investors have in enterprises resident in the reporting economy. FDI flows are measured in USD and as a share of GDP.’ The claim is vague in terms of defining the years of comparison for FDI equity flow. Assuming that the claim refers to inflows and the years of comparison are the same as the ones for the next claim (i.e. 2013-14 and 2016-17), the percentage increase in FDI equity inflow is 79%. The FDI equity inflow in 2013-14 is USD 24.299 billion and in 2016-17 is USD 43.478 billion. Hence it is not true. If we consider different combinations of base year and comparison year, the numbers vary greatly between 40% to 77% but none of them add up to 47%. The numbers can be corroborated from different sources including the data published by Department of Industrial policy and Promotion, and answers provided in the Lok sabha on 19th March and 23rd July of 2018. | 2019-01-10 | False | false | true | refutes |

Examining FDI data allows for an indirect investigation into the degree of profit shifting. The FDI data show that the same seven tax haven countries accounted for nearly half (47%) of the worldwide FDI position of the United States. The data also show that an increasing share of FDI is being held via holding companies. The report discusses that some of the increased use of holding companies may be tax motivated. Lastly, data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations (UN) on the location of the FDI positions of all countries indicate that profit shifting is likely an international issue. [...] Shown in Figure 3 are the 10 countries with the largest positions of U.S. FDI. American MNCs are reporting a significant share of their FDI as occurring in tax-preferred countries. The seven tax-preferred countries -- Netherlands, Luxembourg, Bermuda, Ireland, United Kingdom Caribbean Islands, Singapore, and Switzerland -- accounted for 47% of the FDI positions of American companies, compared to 24% for the three larger industrialized nations of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
