Ahead of the 2022 proxy season, the SEC changed its approach, making it harder for companies to exclude shareholder proposals, even highly prescriptive or granular, micromanaging measures.

For the tax practice, where creativity is essential, diversity elevates the practice, benefitting everyone from clients to the government and practitioners themselves.The tax community, however, lacks DEI for a host of reasons. At the heart of the problem is the ubiquity of whiteness and a pervasive insensitivity to otherness, whereby "others" must learn to navigate whiteness to survive. Maleness and whiteness often are used as synonyms for competence, which leaves women, people of color and LGBTQ+ attorneys constantly feeling compelled to prove themselves.2022-02-2334 minGILTI ConscienceMusings on Multinational Tax: What to Expect From GILTI ConscienceThe team at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is always happy to debate multinational tax issues.

neuroneraArps In LoveTwo sequencers feed two arps. The arp's output is played by two synths. Two Synodeia plugins (by Klanglabs) listen to the AUDIO of each synth and detect the played notes. They send it back by midi to the input of the sequencer from the other line.
No note is ever played by a human. All music and structure emerges from the double crossed feedback loop. Feedback means chaos, but both signal lines affect each other, which will cause resonance, a together movement, a dialog where both sides listen and talk. Arps in love.2017-11-0117 min
