What do I do of the #2000RupeesNote I have? 
🧵 In 2022 we published ten new or updated Explainers, a clear and visual way to understand central banking topics – available in all EU languages!
Here is a recap of some of them in case you missed them ⬇️

Raising interest rates is our main tool for fighting inflation. But what do higher rates mean for you?

‼️ THREAD: Η έρευνα του Νικόλα Ζηργάνου που δημοσιεύουν @we_are_solomon @EFSYNTAKTON αποκαλύπτει *με έγγραφα* πως το ειδώλιο της συλλογής #Στερν, για το οποίο είχε υποστηριχθεί πως είναι προϊόν αρχαιοκαπηλίας, ανήκε πράγματι στον 🇮🇹 αρχαιοκάπηλο #Μπεκίνα.

Ο #Μπεκίνα έχει καταδικαστεί για αρχαιοκαπηλία στην 🇮🇹 αλλά και την 🇬🇷. Ο Λέοναρντ #Στερν υποστήριξε πως:
- δεν τον γνωρίζει,
- και δεν αγόρασε ποτέ τίποτα από εκείνον.
Αντί να διατάξει έρευνα, η υπουργός Πολιτισμού υπερασπίστηκε τον Αμερικανό συλλέκτη.

💥 Προκειμένου να επιτευχθεί η συμφωνία της σταδιακής επιστροφής των 161 αρχαιοτήτων της συλλογής #Στερν στην 🇬🇷, το υπουργείο Πολιτισμού:
- δεν ζήτησε το ιστορικό κατοχής των αρχαιοτήτων,
- δέχτηκε τη συλλογή εν τω συνόλω της ως αυθεντική και νόμιμη.❗️

Does the enormously complex issue of #climatechange have to be presented to policymakers, and therefore the public, as the behemoth it really is?
Today I released my second #infographic explainer on the @IPCC_CH #AR6 reports.

So, what does this, the longest explainer I've made yet, actually say?
Like the first edition — eciu.net/analysis/infog… — it kicks off with context about how we arrived at #IPCCAR6, on the @IPCC_CH itself and how it goes about communicating uncertainty.

#OnThisDay a year ago the @IPCC_CH released its report on #climatescience. Governments endorsed then largely ignored.
How do we get IPCC summaries across to apes with smartphones, especially those roaming corridors of power for whom they're intended? 🧵

With much difficulty. But visuals help. They not only steal attention, they have the ability to go directly into long-term memory where they're indelibly etched.

Hence why I made a belated #explainer of the first #IPCCAR6 report, the first of three I'll publish before #COP27.
Better late than never, esp. when the next IPCC compendium won't drop until ~2030, the year when interim carbon-cutting pledges should be being met.

Vom #CumEx Steuerdiebstahl haben nicht nur Banker und Berater profitiert, sondern auch Kommunen wie #Frankfurt und #Hamburg - wie diese @wiwo Geschichte zeigt. Womöglich liegt darin auch eine Erklärung, warum der Skandal nicht früher aufgedeckt wurde hessenschau.de/wirtschaft/cum…🧵
Bei #CumEx haben sich Finanzjongleure Steuern erstatten lassen, die sie nie gezahlt haben. Banken und Finanzfirmen ergaunerten sich Milliarden zu Lasten der Allgemeinheit. Für ihre riesigen Gewinne mussten die beteiligten Banken und Beraterfirmen in den Kommunen Gewerbesteuern
Entrichten. Zumindest jene, die ihren Firmensitz nicht gleich in eine #Steueroase verlegt haben, um auch diese Steuern zu umgehen.
Jetzt, da der #CumEx Skandal aufgearbeitet wird und Milliardensummen von den Akteuren zurückgefordert werden, schrumpfen nachträglich die

Pakistan's Army and the intelligence agencies have been playing their constitutional role in the entire March-April episode. Imran Khan knows the military is politically neutral because it does not have enough evidence to believe the VoNC was US-sponsored. (1)

Imran Khan has exaggerated the demarche to create a narrative for next elections which the common Pakistanis have started buying completely. Its peoples' right to buy what they want to buy but the fact is, its an exaggerated narrative for elections (2)
PTI's fanbase, convinced by the very exaggerated narrative constructed by their leader, is now expressing anguish against the military especially the COAS for staying neutral in what it believes is a 'US sponsored regime change' which actually is not even evident to army! (3)
You can't keep a good thing down.
#LinkedData is a classic example, despite confusion that has swirled around it for years.

#LinkedData principles add a powerful dimension to #StructuredData creation, courtesy of a #Hyperlink functioning as an unambiguous Entity Name.
Here's a @YouTube video titled "How the hyperlink changed everything" about this "deceptively simple" tool.

Our latest #explainer is on semiconductors and the global chip shortage! Here is a brief background on them 🧵
1) Semiconductor shortages have been big news since the pandemic. No single factor explains them. COVID was clearly an exacerbating factor, but the issue has been around for much longer.
2) Shortages lie predominantly in the more ‘mature’ (older generation) chip types, where investment spend is smaller and there is less incentive to increase production.
From my last post I saw there is some appetite to delve deeper in EU affairs so lets try and kick some more knowledge around. It might serve someone First up - the European Commission.

The EU's executive has a staff of around 32.000. This also included translators and chauffeurs. Most of them are in Brussels, but also some staff is in Luxembourgh and a significant portion is at the delegations around the world

There are 27 Commissionairs. Each country can appoint a Commissionair which is a strange quirk. The EC has further made it more complex by appointing the Executive Vice Presidents and 5 Vice Presidents. Yeah, why make it simple?
Wie die Politik den #CumEx-Skandal über Jahrzehnte geschehen ließ - dieser #Explainer @wdrinvestigativ ist mein Abschied aus diesem spannenden Berufsjahr. Wie viele andere Veröffentlichung 2021 dreht sich die Recherche um den Steuerskandal /1
Hier eine kleine Auswahl unserer #CumEx-Recherchen in 2021: Im März enthüllten wir, dass die Staatsanwaltschaft Köln schon vor einem Jahr bei Hamburger Politikern und Finanzbeamten durchsuchen wollte, die #Razzia aber intern gestoppt wurde tagesschau.de/investigativ/n… /2
Auch die Bankenaufsicht #Bafin gibt im #CumEx-Skandal ein zweifehlhaftes Bild ab, wie unsere Recherche im April zeigte: Die Bafin wurde 2007 (!) detailliert über den Steuerbetrug durch einen #Whistleblower gewarnt - behielt das Wissen aber für sich tagesschau.de/investigativ/w… /3
SARS-CoV-2 Variants and RT-PCR
Can RT-PCR Detect Omicron ?

Can RT-PCR Detect Omicron ?
A short thread on the topic. 👇
RT-PCR is a sensitive molecular method widely used for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in biological samples. This is based on the principle that short pieces of DNA (aka primers) can specifically target DNA/RNA and amplify them using a polymerase protein
Typically COVID-19 RT-PCR kits use 2 or more sets of primers which target the virus nucleic acid at 2 or more genes/sites in the genome. This is to improve the specificity of the detection. Combinations between N, E, RdRP and S genes are typically used.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) recently made amendments to the national Corporate Social Responsibility (#CSR) policy enshrined under the Companies Act 2013. The amendment has subscribed several changes to the provisions relating to CSR.

However, one of the key changes made by the amendment is Impact Assessment. Company having the obligation of spending the avg CSR amount of Rs 10 cr or more in the 3 immediately preceding financial yrs in pursuance of Section 135(5) of the Act, shall undertake impact assessment.
#ImpactAssessment to be done by an independent agency and with respect to #CSR projects having outlays of 1 cr or more and which have been completed not less than one year before undertaking the impact study.
The impact assessment reports shall be placed before the Board.
