Lukáš Valášek wrote that the state-owned company Čepro has paid Agrofert over 19 billion crowns for contracts without a public tender since 2017. According to him, Čepro began to claim that it did not have to hold public tenders after the law prohibiting companies owned by politicians from obtaining public contracts came into effect. Valášek stated that the company has relied on the opinion of the then vice-chairwoman of the Office for Protection of Competition (ÚOHS), who left the office due to suspicions of manipulating decisions in favor of representatives of the ANO party, Jaroslav Faltýnek and Jiří Švachula. According to him, she signed the opinion before her departure. In preparing it, she was supposed to have used documents from the ministries led by Alena Schillerová and Karel Havlíček, which, according to Valášek, downplayed Čepro's exceptional position, even though it is captured in state strategies. According to Valášek, the government of Petr Fiala did not address the matter, and the ministries, now again under the control of Havlíček and Schillerová, do not want to reopen it based on their statements. Čepro also refused to inform him how many contracts it has already awarded to Agrofert under the new government of Andrej Babiš, despite the ÚOHS ruling that the company is subject to the information law at the request of the Pirate Party's analytical team. Valášek added that even the ÚOHS led by Petr Mlsna, whom Babiš appointed, did not see a reason for a review. According to Valášek, the Prime Minister decided whether the government would extend Mlsna's mandate for additional years. https://t.co/O1ekCFdPwn #Česko #politika #korupce (translated)

Harry Nilsson (Brooklyn (New York), 15 juni 1941 – Agoura Hills (Californië), 15 januari 1994) was een Amerikaans componist, pianist, zanger en gitarist. Bijna al zijn werk werd onder de naam Nilsson uitgegeven. Aan het eind van de jaren zestig vertolkte hij met succes het liedje "Everybody's Talkin'" en in 1971 brak hij door met het album Nilsson Schmilsson. In de avonduren werkte hij bij een bank en overdag schreef Nilsson liedjes voor muziekuitgevers. Het lukte hem aanvankelijk niet om als artiest bekend te raken. Zijn composities werden echter wel opgenomen door bekende muziekgroepen en artiesten, onder wie The Monkees, The Yardbirds, Lulu en Blood, Sweat & Tears. Hij schreef tevens drie liedjes voor Phil Spector, die gespeeld werden door The Ronettes en het Modern Folk Quartet. In 1966 kwam een compilatie van zijn eerste werk uit met als titel Spotlight on Nilsson. https://hvdommelen.nl/n/Nilsson.html

The author criticized Trump's actions towards Ukraine and described them as shocking.

Antero Paljakka OLY wrote that the pension contribution indicated on the pay slip was 7.3 percent, whereas in reality, according to him, 25.5 percent of the salary went to it. He described the practice as a tax technical deception stemming from the legacy of the 1993 recession and claimed that naming over two-thirds of the contribution as the employer's share led Finns to perceive pension security as inexpensive. According to Paljakka, pension contributions reduced the employee's purchasing power and gross salary, and the employer viewed the total cost as the price of the employee. He asked how long people would accept that a quarter of the value of work went into the system without them having a say in how the funds were used. #eläkkeet #palkka #verotus (translated)

The tournament was very educational for our team as a whole. Since this is only our second tournament with this lineup, we took the opportunity to test different shooting orders and found many good solutions from that. Our gameplay was clearly better than in the previous tournament and the improvement is noticeable. The weakness remains maintaining a consistent level throughout the game: there were a few games we should have won based on the score, but we couldn't maintain a good level until the end. The European Championships are not far away, but we believe that we can refine several elements before that. We will pay special attention to finding self-confidence and consistent shooting accuracy during the next two weeks. #Kurling #Eesti #EM2023 (translated)
