What directors can learn from the DroneShield sell-off
An Australian company called DroneShield gathered a lot of media and corporate attention in November after the CEO, chairman, and one of its directors liquidated their share holdings within the space of a few days. Related Article Block Placeholder Article ID: 328417 Executives and directors selling most of their stake in a company is certainly atypical, but beyond the headlines, the unique tax burden imposed by incentives such as performance rights should be understood.
How to set-up an employee share scheme that doesn’t trigger a discount on sale
Share schemes are great incentives to attract and retain employees but what can startups or thinly traded listed stocks offer when performance rights are not suitable? Designing an appropriate Employee Share Scheme (ESS) for a private company involves a very different set of challenges compared to a publicly-listed entity.
Explained: The changes to liquidity and share valuations under employee share schemes
Changes to corporation law disclosure requirements for Employee Share Schemes (ESS) were revealed in the 2022 budget. Among the changes are the ability to offer more meaningful amounts of equity, including lifting the maximum cap from $5000 per year per participant to $30,000, as well as a simplified regulatory regime and a relaxation of disclosure rules.

We are also launching a Memory Radio service designed by, and for, people living with dementia.

Illegal immigrants: Good doesn’t outweigh bad
I am writing this letter in response to Mr. Robert Thullner's misinformation about illegal immigration. I live in a small central Texas town of about 2,500 people on I-10 between Houston and San Antonio, and every week we catch illegals with $500,000 to $1 million in illegal drugs. All of our small hospitals are broke because of the abuses and non-payments. Thirty years ago, I had illegals so they go to human resources.
Shaken not stirred: The drinks of James Bond - delicious. magazine
James Bond is one of fiction’s most infamous drinkers – on film, he has a drink on average every ten minutes and 53 seconds. Ian Fleming made sure that Bond was always liberally refreshed in the books, too. Doctors in Derby and Nottingham sat down to read the 14 Bond novels, and recorded that excluding the 36 days Bond is in prison, hospital or rehab, the spy downs 1,150 units of alcohol in 88 days.
Data archaeology - or the missing listings
The small-but-perfectly-formed Genome technical team have spent the last six months digging into the vast cache of data that was produced during the scanning over 350,000 pages of the Radio Times. They’ve found quite a lot interesting artefacts in unexpected places, and are currently brushing them down and cleaning them up in readiness for publication on the site... I’ll describe a couple of these artefacts, and try to explain how they came to exist and what we are doing with them.
