In contrast, the OECD has spent decades developing intellectual property as a legal and a GAAP accounting concept. [59] Ireland, who has some of the most advanced IP-based BEPS tools in the world, [60] and have the first OECD-approved IP-box, [61] has been a supporter of the OECD BEPS project (see Feargal O'Rourke quote). [62]
The BEPS tools used by tax havens have been known and discussed for decades in Washington. [50] For example, when Ireland was pressured by the EU–OECD to close its double Irish BEPS tool, the largest in history, to new entrants in January 2015, [51] existing users, which include Google and Facebook, were given a five-year extension to 2020.

On 22 February, region 3590 produced a solar flare measuring X6.3. [58] In May, the strongest solar storm in 20 years produced aurorae at far lower latitudes than usual. A few days later, on 14 May, region 3664 produced the strongest solar flare up to that point of the solar cycle, measuring X8.7. [59] [60]
The good news is that Earth should be out of the line of fire this time because the flare erupted on a part of the sun moving away from Earth. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the bright ...
Scripps News Staff. December 1, 2023 at 5:20 PM. Aurora. ... The first visible and electromagnetic effects of a solar flare reach observers on Earth at the speed of light, which means they were ...
On 8 May 2024, a solar active region which had been assigned the NOAA region number 13664 (AR3664) produced an X1.0-class and multiple M-class solar flares and launched several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth. [6] On 9 May, the active region produced an X2.25- and X1.12-class flare each associated with a full-halo CME.
The incoming solar storm arose from a strong flare near “Region 3500” on the Sun, scientists say. Solar storms are known to interfere with the Earth’s magnetic field and cause damages to ...
May 2024 solar storms: X1.2(X1.3)-class flares [93] and X4.5-class flare. [94] The flares with a magnitude of 6–7 occurred between 30 April and 4 May 2024. On 5 May the strength of the solar storm reached 5 points, which is considered strong according to the K-index. The rapidly growing sunspot AR3663 became the most active spot of the 25th ...
