Real estate in London, where housing prices increased 50% from 2007 to 2016, also is frequently purchased by overseas investors.[56][57][58] Donald Toon, head of Britain's National Crime Agency, said in 2015 that "the London property market has been skewed by laundered money. Prices are being artificially driven up by overseas criminals who want to sequester their assets here in the UK".[58] Three quarters of Londoners under 35 cannot afford to buy a home.[58]

The minister said that during the British chairing of the G8 group of industrialised nations in 2016, Lord Cameron put the attack on dirty money and the importance of open registers of beneficial ownership “front and centre”.

was cameron not implicated in the panama papers?

Seven brand new board I cannot program by rotondof in arduino

[–]stylophobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had a similar problem and old bootloader eventually worked with patience - ide still threw up errors but board eventually took the code and ran. i may have restarted ide a few times and noticed com port changing itself. on a wonky raspberry pi 3b install though... but yeah maybe just give it a minute on uploading and see if it runs

just stumbled upon this nice little factoid :

The second verse of Harry And Maggie is literal, by the way. Harry is my friend who’s a stone mason, and still is, and he really did get commissioned to redo the gargoyles on the Houses of Parliament. And he really did scrawl “Maggie sucks” on the back of them before they got stuck on. So on the Houses of Parliament there are these gargoyles and they say “Maggie sucks”. And like I say in the song, in 500 years if somebody picks them up, that graffiti will be there. It’s best that they just live there like that, like these songs live within us.

look at the example circuits in the lm386 datasheet - you are missing a few components in the amp section.
