The long list of tax evaders identified by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue in the second half of last year includes doctors, lawyers, funeral parlors, private investigators and pensioners and shows that several sectors of the economy are more prone to tax evasion.

Fact-checker Snopes cuts Facebook ties
Fact-checking service Snopes has said it is ending its deal with Facebook to fight fake news on its network.
Late last year, the Guardian published a report (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/13/they-dont-care-facebook-fact-checking-in-disarray-as-journalists-push-to-cut-ties) that suggested fact-checking firms were frustrated by Facebook’s lack of transparency.
The article quoted former Snopes managing editor Brooke Binkowski as saying: “They’ve essentially used us for crisis PR. They’re not taking anything seriously. They are more interested in making themselves look good and passing the buck… They clearly don’t care.”

Probably wasn't the only year and probably not the only (travel) company.

US weather: Man found 'frozen solid' in backyard among at least 27 to die in extreme cold
Ninety-year-old woman also dies while feeding birds after getting locked out of her house in Michigan
A man found “frozen solid” in his backyard is believed to be one of at least 27 people to have died because of a record-breaking cold snap in the US.
The 62-year-old was discovered outside his home in Cudahy, Wisconsin, on Thursday after colleagues raised the alarm when he failed to turn up for work.
The county’s medical examiner’s office told ABC News the man did not have enough clothes on to be outside as temperatures in the city plunged to -30C with a -40C wind chill on Thursday.

Great run up the right wing by the cat. Not lucky for the bluenoses who cleared off in droves when they saw they were beat!
