LGBT rights in 11 maps, Everything you need to know about

Did you realize that Brazil was the first state to ditch conversion treatment?   That is only a small number of cases of the info which you may locate on Equaldex, a collaborative LGBT rights site found in 2014.  The crowdsourced job works much as an LGBT Wikipedia.  Everyone can combine, edit and edit information.

Other users are invited to authenticate the truth of every upgrade and the data becomes confirmed as site utilization rises. The website is now monitoring over 1,932 laws across the world, but info may frequently be scarce, hard to confirm, or self-evident perplexing.  Take, by way of instance, the current Court of Appeals decision in Lebanon that enabled a transgender person to change his lawful standing to man.

The Equaldex maps are especially useful as they're continuously updated.  Which, together with the speed of change in regards to LGBT rights, is vital.  Last year found an wonderful acceleration of LGBT rights across the world, but also meant that info maps printed just months before were immediately out of date.  Countries like Ireland, by way of instance, have passed a lot of laws to enhance the lives of LGBT individuals, something not mirrored on many available graphs.Where's homosexuality still prohibited?

FuboTV may be your best option for watching the World Cup finals

FuboTV is streaming the World Cup Finals in 4K resolution on pretty much every platform. And it has a free seven-day trial . It's available on Chromecast, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Roku — with a free trial. Admittedly, streaming video can still be a bit of a crapshoot. Do you have the right hardware? Do you have the right service? Do you have a good enough internet connection? Will your home network hiccup? And just how good is the source video in the first place? Is it compressed to within an inch of its life? Is 4K resolution eschewed for something lesser? Streaming the World Cup in 4K resolution has been excellent, even when your team loses. It is — or at least it can be — a mess. But we've had a beacon of hope during the latter stages of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. (The men's edition, anyway; the women play in two more years.) FuboTV — one of the lesser-known but extremely sports-friendly streaming services —  is showing all of the remaining games in 4K...

Samsung forecasts dip in Q2 2018 profits following weak smartphone sales

Samsung is still making boatloads of money, but profits don't quite match up to previous quarters. Samsung announced record earnings for four straight quarters, but that streak is about to come to an end. In its Q2 2018 earnings guidance , Samsung is forecasting an operating profit of $13.2 billion (14.8 trillion won), up 5% from the same period a year ago. Overall revenue at $51.7 billion (58 trillion won) is less than the $54.8 billion the company raked in last year. To put things into context, Samsung made a profit of $14.6 billion on revenues of $56.5 billion last quarter . As noted by The Wall Street Journal , Samsung's profits over the course of the last year were bouyed by strong perfromance by the manufacturer's semiconductor division, which overtook Intel last year. Samsung may not be able to maintain its edge in this category, however, as NAND and DRAM module prices are expected to fall by up to 15%. Slow sales of the Galaxy S9 series is attributed as a r...
