Chancellor George Osborne has renewed his call for international action to tackle so-called "profit shifting" by multinational companies as he unveils the next steps in his fight to reform global tax rules this weekend.
Calls for an overhaul of tax laws, including the controversial transfer pricing rules that were written almost 100 years ago, will be highlighted to finance ministers at the G20 in Moscow by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which will present its report published this week.
The work by the OECD comes as international companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon and Starbucks have sparked controversy after it emerged that they all pay minimal tax on large UK revenues.
The Chancellor will announce that Britain will chair a new transfer pricing group which will look at how to reform the system which allows profits to be diverted to parent companies or to lower tax jurisdictions, via royalty and service payments.
It is one of three groups set up by the OECD to look at the tax issues which will help the group prepare a "plan of action" to be put forward to the G20 in July.
Germany and the US and France also lead the other two groups, which will include looking at how to determine tax jurisdiction, particularly in the context of e-trading.
Mr Osborne said: "Britain has cut its corporation tax rate by more than any other country in the G20 over the past two years, a message to the world that we are open for business that has seen companies return to Britain, and helping to create and secure thousands of jobs and millions in investment.
"But our commitment to the most competitive corporate tax system goes hand in hand with our call for strong international standards to make sure that global companies, like anyone else, pay the taxes they owe.
"That's why Britain, with Germany and France, asked the OECD to scrutinise the international rules, and we will together welcome their report to the G20 this weekend. The report shows this is an international issue that requires international action.
"It shows the global economy has changed massively over the last decade, but global tax rules have stood still for almost a century, and Britain will lead the international effort to bring them into the twenty first century."
Mr Osborne wants to use Britain's presidency of the G8 in 2013 to push international progress on the reform of international tax rules, which were first developed by the League of Nations in the mid-1920s and remain essentially unchanged.

Manningham, Arrington likely to skip senior years; Mallett may transfer
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Rich Rodriguez does not expect to coach wide receivers Mario Manningham and Adrian Arrington or quarterback Ryan Mallett at Michigan Wolverines.
Manningham and Arrington will skip their senior seasons and Mallett will transfer, according to Rodriguez.
"Those are the indications I've gotten," Rodriguez told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. "I've talked to all three at various times recently. I talked to Adrian today, and he told me he's leaning toward going pro.
"We wish all of them the best."
When told what Rodriguez said, Jim Mallett insisted his son has not made a decision.
"Coach knows more than I do, I guess," Jim Mallett told the AP.
Rodriguez later told reporters Manningham and Mallett did not attend a team meeting Monday.
Manningham might be a first-round pick after catching 72 passes for 1,174 yards and 12 touchdowns and running 19 times for 119 yards and a score last season. The 6-foot, 178-pound native of Ohio had 65 receptions for 1,136 yards and 15 touchdowns during his first two seasons for the Wolverines.
Arrington caught 67 passes for 882 yards and eight touchdowns last season. The 6-3, 195-pound native of Iowa had nine receptions for 153 yards and two scores in Michigan's 41-35 Capital One Bowl victory over Florida.
Mallett played in 11 games as a freshman, filling in for Chad Henne when he was injured. He was 61-of-141 for 892 yards with seven TDs and five interceptions.
He enrolled at Michigan a year ago after being voted Texas' Class 4A offensive player of the year. The 6-foot-7, 252-pound quarterback threw for more than 2,500 yards and 27 scores as a senior at Texarkana High School, where he was a three-year starter.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS13) — Fans of Paul McCartney, and of bittersweet déjà vu, rejoice – the legendary rocker confirmed that he would be playing at Candlestick Park one final time.
The Beatles played their last official concert at the 'Stick back on Aug. 29, 1966. Rumors have persisted that McCartney (one of the two living Beatles, along with Ringo Starr) would play a final concert at Candlestick as a send-off to the legendary stadium.
Thursday, McCartney put those rumors to rest and announced that Candlestick would be the final date on his "Out There" U.S. Tour.
The concert is scheduled for Aug. 14. Tickets will go on sale Monday, May 5 at 10 a.m.
Candlestick Park was originally the home of the San Francisco Giants, who played there from 1960-1999. The 49ers called the 'Stick home from 1971 until this past season. The stadium is scheduled for demolition at some point in late 2014 or early 2015.

CBA expires June 30; previous session held June 1
Billy Hunter had promised to make one more call to NBA commissioner David Stern, and he wasted little time picking up the phone. As a result, collective bargaining talks between owners and players resumed Friday.
No meetings have been held since June 1 when the sides met for 2½ hours at the union's offices in New York. Stern and Hunter will be at the meetings, held at an undisclosed location in New York City.
"We got a couple of players coming, a couple of owners, and a lot of league staff and lawyers," Stern told ESPN Radio on Thursday night, "and we'll see whether we can make some progress here."
The past two weeks have been marked by public posturing from both sides, with the latest salvo coming Wednesday when Hunter, director of the players' union, traveled to the NBA Finals to explain his side of the story as to why talks have been stalled.
Hunter said he would call Stern before the current labor agreement expires June 30, and that call apparently was made Thursday. The sides have engaged in on-and-off talks throughout the late winter and spring.
On Wednesday, Hunter said he surmised from Stern's public comments last Sunday that only three issues remain in dispute -- an age limit for rookies, a tougher drug-testing program and the maximum length of long-term contracts, but deputy commissioner Russ Granik said Hunter's assumption was incorrect.
Owners are known to be seeking several other changes to current rules, including a new luxury tax (dubbed a "supertax") for the highest spending teams, reductions in the size of annual salary increases in long-term contracts, a shortened rookie wage scale and adjustments to the so-called trigger percentages that activate the escrow and luxury taxes designed to curtail spending on player salaries.
Stern did not reference those items when he addressed the media before Game 2 of the finals, though he did go into detail about where the owners stand on the other items. He said the league wants the minimum age raised to 19, the maximum contract length reduced from seven years to six, and an anti-drug agreement that would call for veterans to be tested year-round. Currently, veterans are tested only once per year, during training camp.

- Holmes judge OKs sanity tape at trial
A judge has ruled that authorities' search of the Aurora movie theater gunman's apartment was legal, the latest order to rebuff defense attorneys' efforts to keep evidence against the gunman from being heard at trial.
In an order issued late Friday, Arapahoe County District Court Judge Carlos Samour wrote that police were justified in using a bomb robot to enter James Holmes' apartment without a warrant because of the danger that explosives inside posed to the neighborhood. Holmes had told officers about the explosives shortly after his arrest, and police used the robot to open the apartment's front door and look inside. A police officer also broke out the apartment's windows and peeked in.
"Had investigators not taken the immediate threat of explosive devices in the defendant's apartment seriously, they would have been derelict in their duty to protect the public and first responders," Samour wrote in the order.
Police later obtained a warrant before searching the apartment more fully.
Samour's order was his latest to reject defense arguments that much of the evidence authorities collected against Holmes should be kept out of the trial. Previously, Samour has ruled that searches of Holmes' car and wallet were valid. Samour has also ruled that evidence from Holmes' online dating profiles can be heard at trial.
The judge has yet to rule on other crucial searches — including those of Holmes' iPhone, computers and bank records — as well as on the admissibility of statements Holmes made about the bombs in his apartment on the afternoon following the shooting.
Twelve people were killed and dozens more were wounded when Holmes began shooting inside the Century Aurora 16 movie theater in July, 2012. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Cardinal are ranked too high
Evaluating the most overrated and underrated teams heading into bowl season
With the regular season complete and résumés submitted, we've scoured the penultimate BCS standings for teams that might be getting too much -- or not enough -- credit from the polls and computers. Here's a four-pack of each to consider as we head into the bowl season.

McLOUD — Despite a federal report that found incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual violence were double the national average at Mabel Bassett Correctional Center, representatives from the prison declined to testify at an annual Department of Justice hearing on the matter Wednesday.
Female prison in Oklahoma has highest rape rate in U.S.
The 2012 Bureau of Justice Statistics report found 15.3 percent of the inmates surveyed at the female facility reported some form of sexual abuse or rape from another inmate. This rate was highest in the nation for female institutions.
The study was done as part of the Prison Rape Elimination Act, a 2003 federal law aimed at identifying the causes of sexual victimization in prisons and the types of inmates who are most vulnerable.
"We found that the Mabel Bassett facility uniquely stood out as a high-rate facility," said Allen Beck, a BJS statistician.
"There's no question that what we're observing here is a significant amount of physical force, pressure, and coercion are involved."
The purpose of the hearings is to assist the bureau's research by gaining insight from prison officials and administration on what policies and procedures work and which ones do not.
A higher than average proportion of undereducated inmates, those experiencing high levels of psychological stress or mental disorders, and offenders who identify as non-heterosexual are all contributing factors to the facility's elevated levels of sexual victimization, Beck said.
More reporting
Female inmates typically report more incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual violence than males. Of the 193 inmates anonymously surveyed at the facility that houses more than 1,000 offenders, 3.5 percent also reported incidents of sexual victimization at the hands of staff, just over 1 percent higher than the national average.
In July 2013, 11 women serving time in Oklahoma prisons filed a federal lawsuit claiming they were sexually assaulted by three guards at Mabel Bassett Correctional Center. That lawsuit is ongoing and is the reason why the state Corrections Department declined to testify at Wednesday's hearing, said Jerry Massie, department spokesman.

Reasonably price Italian food. Homemade sauces and meals made from fresh ingredients. Wine is sold with you meal for a nominal corkage fee above the regular price to go. Highly recommended.

London for Sugar Addicts
November 17, 2014 by Guest Author
Filed under Eating and drinking, featured, Guest post, Leisure, London and around, Misc, Sightseeing, United Kingdom
In this guest article, former pastry chef Andrea Duty takes us on a mouthwatering tour of the best deserts and sweet stuff in London – heaven for sugar addicts!
The torrid reputation of English food is infamous. Time and time again, foodie travelers pass on the UK's bland traditions in favor of Vietnamese spice or French indulgence. And while it's true that the culinary scene in London had an exceedingly long awkward phase, it's since grown into a modern, dynamic contender as one of the best food cities in the world. I could talk for pages about the various curry houses, chippers, chaat shops and pubs throughout the city, but as a former pastry chef, I feel it my duty to bring you all things sugar, from the traditional to the internationally influenced. Thus, my list of absolute favorite desserts in London. Nothing bland about it.
Kouign Amann
Renowned Parisian chef Philippe Conticini brings the signature bell jars display cases and geometric packaging of La Pâtisserie des Rêves to Marylebone, filling them with manicured renditions of French classics and updated British favorites. His kouign amann – a baton of caramelized croissant dough – negates the need for a trip to Paris on the Eurostar while his carrot cake has forever ruined me to my homemade version.
Hot on Conticini's heels is Frédéric Vaucamps, the master of meringues whose Aux Merveilleux de Fred just debuted South Kensington. His dainty "cakes" of crisped egg white, whipped cream and assorted toppings look like the dense cake balls du jour but wow with a cloud-like consistency. Flavors such as speculoos, praline and coffee compete as top sellers…and for space in my stomach.
Sticky Toffee Pudding
All those who visit me in London are treated to a Sunday roast at The Spaniards Inn, a 16th century pub reportedly frequented by the likes of Dickens and Keats. My guests may think the aim here is to show them a bit of British history or give them a little culture, but my real motive is a slice of sticky toffee pudding. The version at The Spaniards is wickedly rich and is pushed over the edge with a dollop of clotted cream. Nab a seat by the fireplace and it's pure heaven.
Bakewell Tart
Take a buttery tart shell, schmear it with jam, top with dense almond cake and you've got a classic Bakewell Tart. There are as many variations of this dessert as there are bakers in England, but my favorite slice so far is at Le Comptoir Gourmand. It may be commercially made, but it's so rich and homey that I swear someone's grandma must be running that kitchen.
Pistachio/Ricotta & Sour Cherry Gelato
I recently spent two weeks in Italy where I consumed as much gelato as is humanly possible, but BUT (and I feel sacrilege even saying this) none of it was as good as the scoops at Gelupo. Here the flavors are spot on: fresh, not too rich, and not too sweet. They are just…perfect. Plus, there's a dessert case full of frozen cupcakes, chocolate-dipped cones and a rotation of seasonal treats. Even when we are in the depths of winter, you can bet on finding me here.
Andrea Duty is a former pastry chef from Austin, Texas living in London, England. She eats her way through other countries in attempt to discover cultural insight from cake and historical relevance through cookies…or something like that. You can follow her travels at This New View.

Lovely Laugharne – on the Dylan Thomas trail in South Wales
August 10, 2014 by Heather Cowper
Filed under Accommodation, featured, Gardens, Hotels, Leisure, Museums, Nature, United Kingdom, Wales
I like to imagine the 19 year old aspiring poet, Dylan Thomas arriving at Laugharne on the ferry, taking in the wide open skies of the Taf estuary, the small boats stranded in the marshy channels and the stark, stone towers of the ruined castle, and thinking "YES!, this is where I want to be."
He later wrote that it was the sort of place where people like him " just came, one day, for the day, and never left; got off the bus, and forgot to get on again." Laugharne in Camarthanshire is one of the places that Dylan Thomas is most connected to, living for the last 4 years of his life in The Boathouse overlooking the estuary which inspired him to write some of his greatest poetry.
Even if you know or care nothing about Dylan Thomas, Laugharne is an enchanting place to spend a day, as we did as part of our weekend following the Dylan Thomas Trail, in honour of the centenary of the Poet's birth.
Staying at Brown's Hotel – Dylan's favourite pub
We'd spent the Saturday in Swansea, discovering the city that Dylan knew as a young man and wrote about in Return Journey as well as visiting the Dylan Thomas Birthplace, before driving on to Laugharne to stay at Brown's Hotel. As we pulled up, the evening sun lit up the front of the Georgian pub, a favourite drinking haunt of Dylan that has now been renovated as a bar with boutique style guest rooms.
When he lived here, Dylan's routine was to sit in the window seat of Brown's in the morning, studying the papers, or dropping in to see his parents Jack and Florence who lived at The Pelican opposite, before going home to the Boathouse for lunch and working in the writing shed in the afternoon, usually returning in the evening with his wife Caitlin for a few more beers.
Our room was The Laques, named after a part of Laugharne that you can see from the bedroom window where Flemish weavers once settled. The style was very much boutique retro, with a stripy carpet, those chalky Farrow and Ball tones of beige on the walls and modern oak furniture with a 1950s air. The double bed had coverings and cushions in similarly muted shades of grey and purple and from the bed we could gaze at the photo-mural opposite – a soft-focus shot of the estuary with waving grasses in the foreground.
The room was small but thoughtfully kitted out with tea and coffee, bottled water, a few old books including a Dylan Thomas selected works and a bedside radio. The adjoining loo and bathroom featured those rectangular white tiles that were popular in the 1930s when a plumbed-in bathroom was a novelty, a bath with white waffle shower curtain and shower above and some delicious Warm Ginger toiletries. As the hotel isn't really a hotel but a bar with rooms and only does bar snacks, we stuck our noses into the Three Mariners pub next door, but the place looked packed and the music was Saturday-night-loud, so we ended up having dinner at Cafe Culture, a pleasant Italian down the road.
Brown's Hotel, King Street, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. Tel: 01994 427 688 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Rooms are £75-140 based on 2 people including breakfast.

I took advantage of the evening sunshine to go and explore, following signs along the lane towards The Boathouse, where Dylan Thomas lived with his family. From the lane above the house, now known as the Dylan Thomas Birthday Walk, I caught the beautiful views over the Taf estuary, where the water was gently rippling and glittering in the evening light. The tide was out with the sandbanks exposed at low tide and some wading seabirds picking their way gingerly through the shallows. It was this view that inspired Dylan to write his Poem in October about his walk from here to St John's Hill where the wood overlooks the town.
It was my thirtieth year to heaven Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood And the mussel pooled and the heron Priested shore The morning beckon With water praying and call of seagull and rook And the knock of sailing boats on the net webbed wall
You can follow the Dylan Thomas Birthday walk yourself, on the route Dylan described in his Poem in October, where there are benches and signs along the way so that you can read each line or verse at the place it was written. There's a Dylan Thomas Birthday Walk Website with all the information you need and an App of the Dylan Thomas Birthday Walk for iPhone and Android.
Dylan and Caitlin – in life and death
On Sunday morning we enjoyed a good cooked breakfast in the bar at Brown's Hotel, surrounded by memorabilia and mementos of Dylan Thomas and then walked up the main street towards St Martin's church. Through the main churchyard gate and over the little footbridge across the lane, we found the plain white cross of Dylan and Caitlin Thomas standing out among the grey gravestones.
In the church there is also a replica of the stone memorial in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey, with Dylan's lines from the poem Fernhill " Time held me green and dying, though I sang in my chains like the sea". Dylan Thomas died in 1953 aged only 39, while on a poetry reading tour in New York, of causes which have not been fully explained but were probably a combination of pneumonia, morphine overdose and heavy drinking, while Caitlin was also buried with him after her death in 1994. Dylan's father, Jack had died only the year before Dylan himself and Dylan wrote one of his most popular and moving poems Do not go gentle into that good night about his father's illness.
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
It felt a little voyeuristic taking a picture of the gravestone, so we continued up the leafy lane beside the church, fringed by cow parsley and pink campion, taking a short cut to The Boathouse.
The Boathouse – my sea-shaken house
In 1938 Dylan and Caitlin visited their friends the writers Richard and Frances Hughes at Castle House in Laugharne and decided to find their own place nearby. The couple moved into a tiny fisherman's cottage and then into a grander house at SeaView where they lived until 1940 until the war years intervened and they moved to London. In 1949, The Boathouse which Dylan described as "my sea shaken house on a breakneck of rocks", was bought for Dylan by his friend and patron, Margaret Taylor and he lived there with Caitlin and the children until his death in 1953.
Walking down the steps to the whitewashed house, the views across the Taf estuary were striking, not only from all the rooms, but from the balcony running around the house and the terrace at the back where there was originally a landing stage for the coal boats. Under the roof was the main bedroom which is now an exhibition space with mementoes and information about Dylan's life, while through the small shop was a parlour furnished as it would have been by Dylan and Caitlin and kept for 'best' as was the custom. I spotted the desk that had belonged to Dylan's father and had come from his childhood home at 5 Cwmdonkin Park, since Geoff Haden had told me how he really wanted it back!
Downstairs where the family would have gathered was now a tea room but we were able to sit on the terrace in the sunshine with fabulous views over the estuary where I had a chat with artist in residence, Cheryl Beer, who was playing her ukelele and making up poems with some of the children visiting. Cheryl told me that she was one of 12 different artists who had been invited for a month to create a work related to Dylan Thomas – you can see some of the photos from her month in residence on her blog here. She had noticed the strips of paper in the writing shed like shopping lists of the words that he planned to use, and was asking people to write a line of poetry or prose on a strip of paper, which she could incorporate into one large digital work. Having read some of the passionate, tender and angry love letters between Dylan and Caitlin, she also was planning to write a song that told the story from Caitlin's point of view, "as a woman who was often being apologised to"
The Dylan Thomas writing shed
After visiting The Boathouse we walked back along the path to Dylan's writing shed which the staff kindly opened for me to take photos, although you can normally only peer through the window. Inside Dylan's writing desk was set out as if he had just left, with cigarette stubs, strips of words hanging up and that inspiring view right across the estuary. The first poem he wrote there was Over Sir John's Hill, in which he describes the birds stalking their prey and bringing death in the midst of this beauty.
Over Sir John's hill, The hawk on fire hangs still; In a hoisted cloud, at drop of dusk, he pulls to his claws And gallows, up the rays of his eyes the small birds of the bay
This is also where Dylan wrote his most famous play for voices, Under Milkwood, inspired in part by the people of Laugharne. Dylan described his work in a letter as "a play, an impression for voices, an entertainment out of the darkness, of the town I live in .. (so that) you come to know the town as an inhabitant of it.. utterly familiar with the places and the people." From the writing shed we dropped down a path to the level of the estuary where we walked back along the paved causeway with the marshland ahead of us until Laugharne castle came into view.
The Dylan Thomas Boathouse, Dylan's Walk, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, SA33 4SD |Twitter @DTBoathouse | Facebook Page | Open daily 10am-5.30pm in summer, 10am-3.30 in winter Adults £4.20/ Children £2.00. There is a pop-up Dylan Thomas shed, a replica of the original which is on display in various festivals and places around Wales.
Laugharne castle, Brown as owls
The final stop on our day in Laugharne was the ruined castle which overlooks the marsh and the estuary, described by Dylan in his Poem in October.
Pale rain over the dwindling harbour And over the sea wet church the size of a snail With its horns through mist and the castle Brown as owls But all the gardens Of spring and summer were blooming in the tall tales Beyond the border and under the lark full cloud.
Laugharne Castle was built in the 13th century, probably on top of an earlier Norman castle and it came under siege in the English Civil War and was partly dismantled. When Dylan first came to Laugharne, the castle and its grounds were in the gardens of Castle House next door, owned by writers Richard and Frances Hughes. Dylan was allowed the use of the gazebo in the garden which overlooks the estuary and it was here that he wrote the short stories "Portrait of the artist as a Young Dog".
A nice touch is that there is a writing desk and old typewriter within the gazebo to recreate how it would have looked when Dylan wrote there. The castle is now open to the public, although it's really just a picturesque shell of the castle that the Welsh Lords used to dominate the estuary and port at Laugharne before it silted up. You can climb the tower for views over the estuary, and there's a Victorian Rose garden which is a pleasant place to sit on a summer afternoon.
Laugharne Castle is run by CADW and is open April-October 10am-5pm Adults £3.80
Whether you are a Dylan Thomas fan or not, Laugharne is an enchanting place to visit, for the views of the estuary, the walks up to St John's Hill, for the Brown as Owls castle, and of course for the fascinating Dylan Thomas connections. Follow where Dylan walked, drink where he drank and be inspired by the beauty of the place and the poetry. In a place like this we might all have a literary masterpiece in us.

Rick Pitino caps 'unbelievable week' with a national title
Apr 9, 2013, 3:50 AM EST
ATLANTA — Think about where Rick Pitino was four years ago, as Karen Sypher dragged him through what was likely the most embarrassing scandal in the history of college athletics.
Then think about where he was just two years later, as he lost his second straight opening round NCAA tournament game while watching arch-nemesis John Calipari lead arch-rival Kentucky to the Final Four. Think about where he was after last year's Final Four, when he not only lost to those Wildcats in New Orleans, but he had to watch them win the National Title afterwards while everyone proclaimed Kentucky to be the next college basketball dynasty.
There were a lot of people that didn't think that Pitino would still be coaching right now, and yet there he was on Monday night, cutting down the nets after his Cardinals won him his second national title in a thriller over Michigan, 82-76.
It wasn't just the ring that Pitino won, however.
MORE: Photos from Monday night
It was his horse that won the Santa Anita Derby and qualified for the Kentucky Derby. It was his son, Richard, getting hired to be the next head coach at the University of Minnesota. It was the announced that he had been elected for induction into the Naismith Hall of Fame. And all of that happened as he became the first coach to win a championship at two different schools.
"It's been the most unbelievable week that a guy can go through in sport," the younger Pitino said after the game. "I'm really proud."
But here's the thing about Pitino: he did everything that he could to share the credit for this title with those around him. Somewhere deep down, there's an ego that needs to be stroked, but that wasn't happening on this night. When asked what it means to win a title and get named to the Hall of Fame in the same day, Pitino said "players put coaches in the Hall of Fame." When asked about the emotions that with hearing that final buzzer sound, Pitino told a long and rambling — and heart felt — story about how he gave the jersey he received from the Hall of Fame to his sister-in-law, who lost her husband and her brother within a five-month span and who overcame alcoholism to raise three kids.
I believe it.
I don't think this is an act.
MORE: Now this was a game for the ages
You can see it in the way that he interacts with his players. How long would Russ Smith have lasted on the Louisville roster if this was six or seven years ago? But Smith not only has thrived under Pitino, he became an all-american after he actually wanted to leave the program and now the two have the most charmingly dysfunctional relationship between a coach and a player in the country. Pitino can needle him about not listening to him at the same time that he praises Smith for going shirtless and painting his chest to women's soccer games.
Pitino cares. He really, truly cares about his players, and that may be the reason that he is able to get so much out of them. It's not that difficult to leave it all on the floor for a coach that you believe is family.
"It feels amazing to get this win for him," Peyton Siva said. "Playing for a great guy, not just from coaching, just a great father figure."

The power of perovskites
22 August 2014 Feature
Andy Extance finds out how the efficiency of perovskite solar cells has risen so quickly
An organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar cell is a polymer-based thin film solar cell. OPV solar cells have been the focus of much research as they are lightweight, flexible, inexpensive, highly tuneable and potentially disposable. They are also unparalleled in the number of times that they can pay back the energy used in their manufacture.
In the quest to improve the efficiency of OPVs, which, in addition to operational lifetime, is currently their key limitation, various new materials, processing methods and device architectures have been investigated. Among these is the tandem cell, where multiple junctions are stacked upon one another. This can increase the efficiency of the cell by not only increasing the number of junctions, but, along with careful selection of complimentary materials, can make it possible to harvest photons from a broader region of the spectrum. However, this more complicated architecture renders their manufacture significantly more challenging.
Frederik Krebs and his research team at the Technical University of Denmark are specialists in renewable energy technologies, particularly OPVs. For the first time they have demonstrated the successful roll-to-roll manufacture of tandem OPV modules, each comprised of a stack of 14 discrete layers, which are rapidly printed, coated or deposited one on top of another by a machine reminiscent of a printing press. The experiment was carried out in simple conditions and is extremely fast, with a single solar cell module being printed onto blank foil each second. Most importantly, the process is relatively cheap and completely scalable, with a high technical yield.
'If I have made a kilometre of solar cells, then I am not interested if one module has an efficiency of 10% and the rest are 2% – I think what is important is what you can make for the public,' says Krebs. 'I am the guy that makes a lot of it and tries to look for the average and what is practical, and then there are the other guys that look at what is obtainable. Everybody has their role to play and hopefully we will meet some day, probably somewhere in the middle.'
'The performance from these scalably fabricated devices has a long way to go to achieve commercial viability,' states Seth Darling, an expert in solar energy conversion at Argonne National Laboratory, US, 'but this work clearly shows that the process itself is feasible and has the potential for genuine market impact.'
The future direction of this research now lies in materials development, and in the optimisation of each layer for the manufacturing process.
