Towards the end of last week, as the flood waters receded and large parts of Gloucestershire began to re-emerge from a lake compounded of overflowing rivers and backed-up sewage, a new voice could be heard above the clamour of outraged or self-exculpating citizenry. The flood victim, the politician, the insurer, the chartered surveyor, the eco-warrior aghast at the prospect of thousands of new houses being built on flood plains: all had had their say. Now they were joined, belatedly but with no less resonance, by one of the few outright winners in last month's round of deluges: the travel agent.
What does the potential holidaymaker do when England's green and pleasant land softly deliquesces under six feet of water and the spectre of a foot and mouth epidemic lurches on to the horizon? Why, according to the available evidence, he or she puts in a call to lastminute.com or lurks in the Thomson's foyer eyeing up the bargain flights to Alicante. In the past fortnight, apparently, UK airport escalators have been groaning beneath the weight of the half million or so punters keen to escape the downpours of an English summer for the heatwave currently enveloping southern Europe. The tourist industries of the West Country and the Thames Valley, on the other hand, whose inundations are still being mopped up, are staring meltdown in the face.
The late-21st century social historian, bidden to examine the cheap flight phenomenon of the early 2000s, will probably regard it as one of the oddest forms of human denial ever on public view. Here we are on an environmentally degraded planet with the oil running out – the peak of the production pyramid is expected to be reached in 2009 – and the skies turned grey by gently descending carbon particles, nervously contemplating a future in which fossil fuel will be in very short supply, and all over the world airlines are falling over themselves to undercut the competition and tack on extra runways to their airport terminals.
Thirty years from now, it seems safe to say, air travel will have reverted to the status it held half a century ago – a luxury for the privileged handful, frowned on by governments trying to conserve dwindling energy stocks. Nowhere will this vista of shrivelled horizons – the stark realisation that, no, you can't go to Vietnam for a fortnight because the fuel isn't there to take you – have more of an impact than on that fine old institution, the Great British Holiday.
The idea of the holiday is deeply ingrained in the national culture of the past two or three centuries. Georgian aristocrats loafed around their villas on Lake Como. The English "milord" en vacances in continental Europe with his coroneted carriage, his retinue of servants and his difficulties with argot and cuisine, was a feature of pre-Victorian satire. Like many another national institution, though, the Great British Holiday was essentially a middle-class phenomenon, blessed with the royal imprimatur (Queen Victoria built Osborne House on the Isle of Wight as her very own vacationing hidey-hole) and based on the Victorian relish – moral as much as recreational – for sea-bathing and bracing coastal air.
Victorian novels are crammed with references to the annual departure of the professional classes – Mr Brief, the barrister, pictured with his family at Ramsgate, for example. Numbers of south coast towns owed their prosperity to the summer's inrush of well-heeled bourgeois visitors, and developed boom-and-bust economies predicated on the assumption that they would be deserted for six months of the year.
Stuck in Deal in the spring of 1856, at work on Little Dorrit, Dickens found himself wandering the streets of what was in effect a ghost town. ("All the houses and lodgings ever let to visitors were to let that morning. It seemed to have snowed bills with To Let upon them. This put me upon thinking what the owners of all those apartments did out of the season; how they employed their time and occupied their minds.")
Further down the social scale, meanwhile, less elevated parts of the demographic were enjoying bastardised versions of the same amusements: not the fortnight's recreation in the genteel seaside resort, with papa coming down from his chambers at the weekend, but the drink-fuelled bank holiday excursion to Crystal Palace or Epping Forest. The late-Victorian novelist George Gissing devoted a whole chapter of his slum novel The Nether World (1889) to a horrified account of the East End's late-summer irruption from Clerkenwell and Whitechapel, by means of an endless procession of special trains, to the south London pleasure gardens, and their battered, drunken return a dozen hours later.
Gradually, as a succession of Factory Acts enshrined the principle of paid leave, these trips became an almost ritualised part of the social calendar. "Wakes week", when the northern mills and factories shut their doors, sent most of industrial Lancashire off to the burgeoning resorts of Blackpool, Morecambe and Barrow-in-Furness.
Blackpool, in particular, was transformed into an extraordinary poor man's Xanadu of variety halls and amusement arcades, where the imbalance between amount of holiday accommodation and volume of descending punters was often so great that thousands of trippers had to spend the night on the sands.
By the early 1930s, fuelled by this boom, a distinctively working-class holiday seaside culture had come into existence, made up of kiss-me-quick hats, comic songs (George Formby, say, with his innuendo-laden "With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock") and Donald McGill's semi-obscene postcards. All this, encouraged by newspapers who sponsored sandcastle competitions (the Daily Mail) or sent anonymous correspondents to promenade the seafront (such as the Westminster Gazette's "Lobby Lud") whom sharp-eyed holidaymakers were invited to unmask, forms the backdrop to Graham Greene's Brighton Rock (1938), which opens with the murder victim, Fred Hale, aka "Kolley Kibber" of the "Daily Messenger", arriving on the seafront.
By this time, inevitably, the idea of the holiday had tugged away from its original mooring in a desire for sun, sea and fresh air and turned horribly symbolic, a matter of caste, status and social differentiation. You went on holiday, and on a particular type of holiday, not so much because you wanted to, but because the nature and extent of the holiday demonstrated the kind of person you were.
The middle-class bank clerk of J B Priestley's novels beguiled his leisure on the Frinton sand dunes to show that he was a cut above the pitman with his annual fish-and-chip orgy at Skegness. The pitman, alternatively, wanted to clinch his superiority to the man on the dole, who might just contrive a day-long charabanc trip to Grange-over-Sands.
The novelist Simon Raven, on the prowl on the Kentish coast in the late 1950s, produced a fascinating piece of reportage from a café tenanted by an anxious working-class family uncertain as to why they had come on holiday in the first place. ("You know bloody well why we came. Because your bloody mother wouldn't let me rest till I'd arranged a proper holiday for you. 'Everyone else does it,' she says, 'and it's only right you should do it for Rita...'")
The cheap package holiday of the late 1960s added a further refinement to this process of social distancing, again reflected and endorsed by a popular culture that ran alongside. The "holiday" songs of the immediately pre- and post-Second World War era had been about Blackpool and Butlins. By the 1970s, on the other hand, the pop charts were resounding to Sylvia's "Y Viva España", "Dreadlock Holiday" by 10cc and "Oh, I'm Going to Barbados" by Typically Tropical.
My own familial experience of the Great British Holiday perfectly mirrors the rise of this complicated game of social leapfrog. My paternal grandfather was an electrician who, throughout the 1930s, escorted his family from their three-up three-down Norwich council house to a week in a boarding house 20 miles away at Great Yarmouth: virtually all of the photos I have of my father as a boy show him striding, school cap on head, mackintosh folded over arm, along the clotted Great Yarmouth seafront or staring from the back of a charabanc. My mother's family was a bit more genteel, although politically naive, which meant that the solitary foreign jaunt they planned in the 1930s – to Germany – was stymied by the outbreak of war.
Family holidays in the late 1960s, consequently, were an odd compromise between these two exacting traditions (working-class hedonism versus middle-class prudence). A succession of ghastly south coast boarding houses, tyrannised by terrifying old women and rife with obscure prohibitions, eventually gave way to Lakeland barns and east coast holiday lets.
Then, as late-1970s affluence kicked in, came the first trips "abroad". There was a rather horrible head-on clash of buried class affiliation in the late 1970s when, bored by the Cumberland scenery and anxious to revisit ancient haunts of childhood, my father contrived a day trip to Blackpool. My mother, fetched up in this nightmare world of amusement arcades and hot-dog stands, promptly burst into tears.
Ask what happened to the Great British Holiday in the past quarter-century and the answer is that, like a great deal else in British culture, it became steadily more embourgeoisified. One can see this in the "charming" seaside resorts of the east coast, where the property gets bought up by incoming second-homers and the holiday lets have been gentrified to death by the letting agencies.
Southwold in Suffolk, where I used to go as a teenager, staying inexpensively in houses which you were expected to clean yourself on the Saturday morning before you left, is now a maritime version of Notting Hill, with upmarket delicatessens on every corner, famous novelists found drinking in the pubs, celebrated actors heard asking for directions in the newsagents and a sub-population of barnacled locals still hunkered down in cottages that have so far escaped the developer's lariat.
Burnham Market, 40 miles to the west, is even worse – like a street in Chelsea, with passers-by and four-wheel drives to match, that some enterprising planner decided to drop into the middle of the Norfolk verdure.
Meanwhile, a handful of the old-style working-class resorts narrowly survives. Great Yarmouth, for example, is an extraordinary time-warp of northern families tucking into fish-and-chip snacks beneath bingo parlour frontages and billboards advertising performances by the Nolan Sisters or the surviving remnants of the Barron Knights.
Curiously enough, despite these anachronisms and embarrassments, archaic survivals and lifestyle-mongering, the forthcoming renaissance of the Great British Holiday, when the jet fuel runs out and there is nowhere else to go, is something to be warmly anticipated.
Travel, as Malcolm Muggeridge once remarked to a film camera stationed before the Taj Mahal, narrows the mind. The north Norfolk coast beats Tuscany into a cocked hat. Who is there who can truthfully say that they prefer the Dordogne, with its carloads of English people combing the local hypermarchés for pasteurised milk, to Radnorshire?
One of the advantages of the 21st-century travel slow-down is that it might just goad us into a greater understanding of the people we are and the world we ever more precariously inhabit.Reuse content

WASHINGTON TALK: BRIEFING; Whither Perle?
By Wayne King and Warren Weaver Jr.
Published: January 24, 1987
Richard N. Perle, the hard-line Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy, is said to be telling friends he is leaving the Pentagon.
Mr. Perle, whose stormy tenure has been punctuated by sharp differences with less hawkish partisans of arms control, notably Richard R. Burt when he was an Assistant Secretary of State, has been rumored before to be leaving, but a ranking colleague says this time he means it.
Among other things, Mr. Perle is said to be eager to write a novel, tentatively titled ''Memoranda,'' a project that itself has already caused a stir.
Last April, Mr. Perle circulated an outline of the novel, a roman a clef set in the dead center of the Washington establishment, and drew advance bids of up to $300,000. But it also drew the ire of Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia, the senior Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Mr. Nunn feared that Mr. Perle's fiction might bear too much relation to fact, a potential conflict of interest inasmuch as the author was dealing daily with people who could well turn up someday as thinly disgused characters in a book.
Mr. Perle then abandoned the project, saying he wanted to avoid even a hint of impropriety but also protesting that he at no time kept records of ''meetings, conversation or events for use in a book.''
Asked yesterday about an impending resignation, the aspiring author demurred. ''When I am ready to resign,'' he said, ''I will make that fact known.'' As for his book, he said, ''I'm not working on it now, but when something exasperating happens, I think, 'I'm going to put that in my book.' ''

It's easy to make Super-Bowl-worthy wings on the grill if you follow this two-prong strategy from food expert Mark Bittman.
The key to crispy grilled chicken wings is to first render out most of the fat from them, Bittman writes on the New York Times. To do this, first put the wings on the cool side of the grill:
In order to crisp the skin, you need to render out most of the fat that comes with it, otherwise you'll get chewy wings instead of crunchy ones. A grill with one side that's hot and one side that's cool — one side with no or very little fire underneath it — is what you need: put the wings on the cool side, cover the grill and let the ovenlike heat melt the fat away through the grates without any fear of an intense flame burning the skin from below.
Once they've cooked through, coat the wings with your sauce and crisp them on the hot side, turning them frequently for about 5 to 10 minutes. The results: tender yet crispy wings with a smoky char you don't get from deep frying. Which you can eat with one hand.

Bette Midler envisions location of Summer Olympics due to 'climate change'
December 29, 2016
Bette Midler is sounding the alarm that "climate change" is getting worse, and as you can see many agree in their own unique ways.
What could the future hold?
UB meeting this week to discuss Climate Change after hottest summer ever. At this rate we'll be holding Summer Olympics in Antarctica soon..
— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) September 22, 2014
This summer, Antarctic sea ice broke an all time record, so it might be a little too chilly there for swimming and beach volleyball for the foreseeable future.
@BetteMidler Funny…we've heard that same mantra every Summer for years. Then later, the recorded temps are "readjusted" for truth.

Projects, events and news from the University of Cambridge Museums
The name of Glaisher is well known at the Fitzwilliam Museum. James Whitbread Lee Glaisher (1848-1928) was a celebrated mathematician and Fellow of Trinity College, but he was also widely known and respected as a collector of ceramics. When he died in 1928, his collections were bequeathed to the museum and his pottery and porcelain housed in a purpose-built gallery named after him. Probably less well known is the fact that Glaisher also maintained a number of secondary collections, including children's books, samplers, wood carvings and valentines. Of these other collections, the valentines are the largest and probably the most significant.
The collection numbers some 1,600 valentines, the majority contained inside 20 albums. It is one of the largest collections of valentines amassed by a single donor in the UK. Other large, single-donor collections include the valentines within the John Johnson collection of ephemera at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, the Jonathan King collection of valentines at the Museum of London, and the valentines within the Laura Seddon collection of greetings cards at Manchester Metropolitan University.
We know, from inscriptions in the valentine albums and letters in the Fitzwilliam Museum archive, that Glaisher's collection was arranged and mounted into the albums by his friend, the local antiquarian, Catherine Parsons, with whom Glaisher corresponded almost every day from 1916 until his death in December 1928. Catherine Parsons was a keen collector of keys, among other things, and had her own collection of valentines. In a letter to Parsons dated July 20th 1924, Glaisher, now at the end of his life, is anxious about how much organising of his collections there is to do. He was still working on his catalogue of ceramics at this point: 'I have so many things to attend to now that I make progress with none – pot lids being now added to Valentines and Children's books as side issues …'. By September of the same year, Glaisher is expressing relief that Catherine Parsons has agreed to shoulder the burden of organising his valentines collection for him: 'It is indeed good of you to offer to arrange them, & it will be a great relief to me to have you do something to them, even if you do not complete it.'.
The majority of the collection was well established by 1920, but Glaisher's letters to Catherine Parsons during the 1920s reveal that he was still actively collecting valentines. In addition to arranging and mounting the valentines, Parsons also carried out some cleaning and restoration, as Glaisher's preference was for clean valentines in good condition. During this period, Glaisher asked her opinion of those valentines sent to him by dealers and often sent back the ones of which she didn't approve. He was himself, a discerning collector and considered many different factors, including style, colouring, condition and cost when making decisions about which valentines to buy and which to return. Glaisher bought valentines from a number of second-hand booksellers based in London, including R.S. Frampton in Finsbury Park and John Salkeld in Clapham. Glaisher also 'bought in' ready-assembled albums of valentines. There are five of these, at least one of which came from John Salkeld. Another source was Actons of Brighton who also supplied Glaisher with pottery. One of the 'Misses Acton' had her own collection of valentines of which Glaisher was very envious.
Although Glaisher didn't keep records of his purchases in a diary or describe them in a hand-written catalogue, as he did with his ceramics, he amassed with great diligence a collection that is broadly representative of valentine production in all its great variety from the beginning of the nineteenth century and into the 1920s. To achieve this aim sometimes meant paying a high price or buying valentines which he didn't particularly like, as he admitted to Catherine Parsons in April of 1925: '… prices are high, but valentines are getting scarcer and I must think of the things themselves rather than of prices' and '… in making a collection I have had to get many things that did not give me pleasure'. Glaisher's collection features all the major names involved in the manufacture of valentines during this period, including Henry Dobbs, Joseph Mansell, Eugène Rimmel and Marcus Ward & Co., to name just a few.
Glaisher was interested in the work of the artists involved in valentine production and his collection includes preparatory studies and proofs for valentines, as well as the finished objects.
Among the valentines by Marcus Ward & Co. assembled by Glaisher, for instance, are a small group of valentines designed by Kate Greenaway. These valentines were produced early in her career.
The breadth of Glaisher's collection means that it is possible not only to trace technological developments in fancy-paper manufacture, such as the invention of lace-paper (see NOTE), but also to witness advances in print-making across the 19th century.
The images employed in valentines had, by the 1820s, largely progressed from etchings and engravings to lithography, a method of printing images drawn on stone.
At first, the lithography was coloured (painted) by hand but by mid-century, valentines were constructed using colour-printed chromolithographs. Chromolithography was developed in England around 1840 and was in its heyday during the 1850s and 1860s. In the second half of the nineteenth century, chromolithography was combined with paper embossing to create colourful images with textured surfaces. Additional glazing of the prints prior to embossing (usually with a type of glue or gelatine gum) enabled the paper to stretch without cracking the printing ink, while saturating the colours and enhancing gloss, thereby making the surfaces appear even more luxurious.
Valentines were often produced by manufacturers in series', where different images and verses were employed within the same basic design. Glaisher's commitment to collecting as many of the variants within a series as possible is evident throughout his collection. One of the best known series' of this period was the so-called 'Despondent Lover' set, of which there were 14 to collect. Printed as etchings with aquatint and hand colouring on large sheets of embossed, folded paper, the series features scenes on the theme of love and includes men and women in attitudes of despair and joy alike. The series was first published around 1828 but was reprinted throughout the 19th century. The Glaisher examples are thought to be later reprints. Glaisher managed to collect all but one of the 14, with several duplicates of various numbers.
From 'The Despondent Lover' series, aquatint and etching with hand-colouring on embossed paper, probably c.1880, Bequeathed by J.W.L. Glaisher, P.14346-R-1 and P.14346-R-10
Valentines were commonly sent as tokens of friendship, not just between lovers, and from parents to their children or from male and female relatives to their nephews and nieces. A whole section of the valentines industry was directed at children, who both received and sent specially-designed valentines, often featuring sentimental images of juvenile romance or animals. Glaisher's collection contains a number of children's valentines which are again, mainly arranged together in the same album. Among these is a small group of cards signed simply "Mamma" which were apparently sent from a mother to her child in the 1860s. One of these features a chromolithograph of a boy and girl riding ponies. "Mamma / 1868" is written onto the back of the print.
Glaisher's collection is notable for the number and variety of its comic valentines. These range from moveable and changeable types, employing flaps and push tabs to the cheapest and most vulgar which were produced on single sheets of thin paper and featured hand-coloured woodcuts of grotesque characters. Glaisher referred to these cheap comic valentines as his 'ugly ones'.
Among these, there is a significant group which focusses on the 1850s fashion for the crinoline, most of which were arranged and mounted together in the same album by Catherine Parsons. They make fun of the hazards, both physical and moral, of wearing the crinoline, and portray women caught in compromising situations when boarding omnibuses, attempting to walk through doorways or going outside on a windy day, when their skirts could get blown up around the hoops and expose their underwear.
When the tab of this valentine by Joseph Mansell is pushed upwards, the flounced skirt rises to reveal the hoops and petticoats of its wearer. Joseph Mansell, lace-paper, lithography and hand-colouring with moveable part, c. 1850, Bequeathed by J.W.L. Glaisher, 1928, P.14579-R
Lace-paper, a prime ingredient of the Victorian valentine, was developed in 1834 by Joseph Addenbrooke, an employee of paper-manufacturing firm, Henry Dobbs. Addenbrooke discovered a method of using a sandpaper rasp to create a perforated filigree design on paper which resembled lace. The designs of lace-paper could be very elaborate and additional silvering or gilding of the paper added to its decorative and precious appearance.
The catalogue records for the J.W.L. Glaisher collection of valentine cards will soon be available to view on-line.
The collection is currently undergoing digitisation, conservation and removal to purpose-built storage.
A small selection of Glaisher valentines will be on display in one of the cases in Gallery 1 at the Fitzwilliam Museum from Tuesday 14 February 14.

Regional Risk Spotlight: Aisha Abdallah Discusses Corruption and Compliance Practices in Kenya
Kenya, a major transportation hub in East Africa, in recent years has experienced infrastructure development, a resurgent tourism industry following a 2013 terrorist attack at a mall in Nairobi and a high-profile 2015 visit from President Barack Obama. While Kenya's growth signifies more investment opportunities for local and foreign companies, the improved economy has not developed without growing pains, notably in the form of corruption. The FCPA Report spoke to Aisha Abdallah, a partner at the Africa Legal Network in Nairobi, about the top corruption risks for companies doing business in Kenya and how they can be mitigated.

SFO Arrives in the Anti-Corruption Premier League With Rolls-Royce Settlement
The U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office has struggled for legitimacy in recent years, with a limited number of enforcement actions under its belt and a shrinking budget. But its recent settlement with Rolls-Royce has established it as a force to be reckoned with in global anti-corruption enforcement. "The settlement catapults the SFO into the Premier League of global anti-bribery law enforcement," said London-based Barry Vitou, head of Pinsent Masons' corporate crime team.

Rolls-Royce Settlement Offers Lessons on How to Pay Commissions Without Corruption
Rolls-Royce's recent massive settlement with U.S., U.K. and Brazilian authorities is a stark reminder of the anti-corruption risks associated with intermediaries, agents and fixers when negotiating contracts with state-owned entities. Commissions paid by Rolls-Royce to its agents – including notorious oil-and-gas "solutions" provider Unaoil – often were eventually passed on to foreign officials to close deals, netting Rolls-Royce a global settlement for hundreds of millions of dollars. In this first article discussing the case, we look at the bribes Rolls-Royce paid, how its compliance program failed to prevent them and what companies can do to make sure that commissions paid to agents are not used improperly. In a second article, we will look at the implications for cooperative U.S. and U.K. enforcement and what the SFO is looking for in terms of cooperation and remediation.

Och-Ziff's Settlement Offers Five Compliance Lessons for Hedge Fund Managers and Private Equity Investors
Och-Ziff's recent settlements with both the SEC and DOJ for violations of the FCPA should be a wakeup call for hedge fund managers and private equity investors. "Although the enforcement authorities have historically focused their FCPA attention elsewhere, the DOJ and SEC are increasingly turning their attention to sophisticated financial firms," Jason Jones, a partner at King & Spalding, explained. "Hedge funds, private equity firms, banks, and other firms often focus the majority of their compliance resources on anti-money laundering and sanctions programs, but anti-corruption must not be neglected," he said. The details of the case, along with the terms of the company's settlement, offer five key compliance lessons for firms in this industry.

Dirty Dealings in Africa Result in SEC and DOJ Settlements for Och-Ziff and Two Executives
After months of speculation, the SEC and DOJ recently announced a settlement with Och-Ziff Capital Management and two of its employees for more than $400 million. The settlement papers indicate that Och-Ziff's varied dealings in Africa – both in terms of procuring investors and making private equity investments – were characterized by a nonchalant attitude toward compliance. The company routinely worked with intermediaries with questionable backgrounds and known ties to government officials. Once deals were made, little effort was put into ensuring that funds were spent appropriately. According to a team of attorneys at MoloLamken, the settlement is a "significant development" in both the FCPA and hedge fund worlds. "For a number of years, DOJ and the SEC have indicated that their FCPA enforcement efforts are focused on private equity and hedge funds," they said, "but the Och-Ziff settlement is the first major move in that direction. And it's a significant one: the case represents one of the largest FCPA settlements in history against one of the world's largest hedge funds."

Kevin Abikoff of Hughes Hubbard Discusses the Benefits and Risks of African Local Content Laws
Foreign investment in a country has historically been a double-edged sword. While investment may allow elites to prosper, often the benefits do not flow to the general population. In response to this pattern, many countries have adopted "local content laws" that require a certain level of reinvestment by foreign companies into the countries where they operate. While these programs can have clear benefits in terms of technology transfer and local ownership, they can also be a source of corruption risk, as Japanese conglomerate Hitachi learned in 2015 when it was fined $19 million for corruption related to its local partner. The FCPA Report discussed how to navigate these programs when doing business in African countries, where they are prevalent, with Hughes Hubbard partner Kevin Abikoff. He explained why local content laws are beneficial but also how they can lead to corruption, and what companies can do to avoid problems when working with local partners.

Experts also told The FCPA Report that the settlement raises questions as to what level of "corruption" is necessary to incur an FCPA violation and why, in light of other recent SEC actions, cases with similar fact patterns can have wildly divergent outcomes.

Remediation, Cooperation and No Bribery Allegations Net Hyperdynamics a $75,000 Civil FCPA Settlement
A few months after the DOJ declined to prosecute, the SEC announced that it has resolved its FCPA charges against Hyperdynamics for a $75,000 penalty. On September 29, 2015, the SEC issued a Cease-and-Desist Order finding that the small oil and gas exploration company's insufficient internal controls resulted in payments to third parties owned by a Guinean employee of the company. The penalty reflects Hyperdynamics cooperation and remediation efforts and perhaps the lack of any bribery allegations, but that number is dwarfed by the $12.7 million Hyperdynamics' reported that it spent on the FCPA investigation of its African operations. Scott Wilson, a partner at Boies, Schiller & Flexner, told The FCPA Report that this settlement "highlights that there are anti-corruption compliance risks even for a very small firm," and Daniel Fetterman, a partner at Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman, emphasized that the lack of direct bribery allegations is not all that unusual.

K&L Gates Panel Reviews Anti-Corruption Enforcement in the U.S., the U.K., China, Australia, Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia and Russia
With the spate of new anti-corruption laws around the globe, and the evolution of laws already on the books, "it is critical for a company to have on-the-ground information and local support" in structuring an effective anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC) program and responding to regulatory action in all of the regions in which it operates. So said Dick Thornburgh, former Attorney General of the United States and former Governor of Pennsylvania, introducing a recent webinar presented by K&L Gates LLP, where Thornburgh is now of counsel. The K&L Gates speakers who followed Thornburgh shared their direct local experiences and examined the state of the ABAC laws in their regions of speciality.Read Full Article …

How Can Companies Capture the Telecom, Energy and Resources Opportunities in Africa While Mitigating Corruption Risks?
"Africa is bigger than we think." Thomas Laryea, a partner at Dentons US LLP, and his fellow panelists at a recent panel sponsored by Dentons and AlixPartners described just how big it is – in terms of size, opportunity and risk. Panelists discussed Africa-specific issues that companies doing or contemplating doing business there should know, and also presented a summary of results of a survey done by Dentons and AlixPartners, the full results of which The FCPA Report has exclusively. The survey measured companies' perception of the strategic importance of doing business in Africa, their understanding of African business opportunities and the corruption risks and compliance issues executives face in the region. The survey can be interpreted to reveal the gap between the stereotypical perceptions of a monolithic continent with endemic corruption and the more nuanced reality of a diverse Africa with tremendous opportunity, if risks are carefully managed.Read Full Article …

vargamoon Review
Simply amazing and so comfortable
I never ordered a mattress on line before-let alone have it delivered ina BOX !. When the product arrived, I took it into the house ( with the help of another) and put the box into the roon I was going to use it in. Absolutely amazing watching the mattress "spring" to life. I have experienced the most comfortable nights of sleep since I've been using it. No fuss, No smell-it was wonderful. I am so glad I went with a "medium" firmness- my husband and I and completely satisfied with this purchase.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? N/A
- How is the quality of the product? Wonderful- such a comfortable mattress
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? The description was very accurate

Salver with engraving, stainless steel, round, LEOPOLD VIENNA
The serving tray of LEOPOLD VIENNA made of solid stainless steel acts as a decorative element and is of course a full functional kitchen helper. The matte finish gives the salver a silky shine and makes it insensitive to scratches. So drop spots, and minor damages over time are not really noticed and allow the serving tray to appear like new for many years.
With an individual engraving the personalized salver is finally the right gift for those who frequently eat in the garden, grill, have friends coming over and don't want to commute between the kitchen and dining table too often.
The serving tray can be designed as all SIGNUU products with a unique engraving. The circular engraving area in the center of the tray is available to be designed completely free in our configurator with logos, designs, text and even photos. Your imagination knows no boundaries.

Time shift linked to health risks
Daylight saving time begins Sunday
MADISON, Wis. - With the clocks moving forward an hour this weekend, some doctors are linking the shift to daylight saving time to health and safety risks.
Dr. Mark Lancer, a Dean physician and the director of Saint Mary's sleep center, said losing an hour of sleep can throw off some people's sleep schedule enough to pose a risk, but the majority won't be affected.
"It's a very small difference for most people. For 99.9 percent of us, it isn't going to matter. But it's for that small percentage that it may make a difference," Lancer said.
Lancer said research indicates heart attacks increase the Sunday of the change.
"There are some people who are more susceptible than others to the change in the daylight hours," Lancer explained. "It disrupts their circadian rhythm and can sometimes have adverse health consequences as a result."
Lancer added car crashes increase the first week of daylight savings time, likely resulting from a change with everyone's internal clock.19256142
"I believe that they are, you know, most likely, I think, mediated through the lack of sleep, causing sleep deprivation," Lancer said.
Lancer said certain older populations are more prone to these adverse effects.
"Like all disturbances to sleep, the elderly are most affected," Lancer said. "They tend to get less sleep in general and have more physical problems related to their lack of sleep."
Besides an earlier bedtime, Lancer said there are other remedies to the daylight savings time lull.
"Turn on the lights, or in the evening, before you go to bed, turn the lights down. Dim light at night and bright light in the morning helps to set your circadian rhythm, so if they can do that ahead of time then maybe it would be beneficial," Lancer suggested.
Dykman's Time Shop owner Glenn Gardner spent his weekend reminding customers of the time change.
"I think it's not needed anymore, but you know, that's how it is," Gardner said.
Krystal and Cole Koepp were shopping for a new mattress at A1 Furniture and Bedding Saturday. They said they would gladly sacrifice an hour of sleep for more time in the sun.
"I've always kind of liked it because I like having the extra hour of light at the end of the day," Krystal said.
An online petition is calling for the end of the annual time shift. It had more than 11,700 signatures as of Saturday evening.
Meanwhile, safety officials are encouraging the start of daylight savings time as a time to do annual safety checks.
For example, they suggest replacing the batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Those without an emergency kit at home are encouraged to purchase one. And those with one should put fresh batteries in the flashlight and make sure the food, water, and first-aid kit are all in good condition.
The Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs has additional safety tips on its website.

BME Helps Bolivia's BBV to Move Away From Outcry Pits Toward Electronic Trading
The rollout is being done in two stages, with fixed income currently being the focus, followed by the implementation of the primary market and trading in other non-standardized securities and repo trades.
Prior to the launch of Smart BBV, an electronic trading platform, Bolivia's trading was done in open outcry pits. The platform is built on BME's Sibe-Smart matching engine. It has a common base as those built for other markets, and allows for the execution of fixed income, equities and derivatives trades based on the European market model, a spokesperson for BME tells WatersTechnology.

You were a consumer long before you thought about launching a small business or became an entrepreneur. All your shopping experiences- good and bad- shape what you think about people who sell things. Especially when you become the seller.
Recently, I was working with a client on her contract, figuring out the right language for her, when I asked when does the proposal expire? Let's call her Susan.
Susan was puzzled by the question. Expire, nope, clients were free to get back to her when they were ready. Susan has trouble planning for expenses or growth because she doesn't know what her revenues would be from one month to the next. She has to wait until clients decided to get back with her. And, given how busy people get, and how often they forget, change their minds or someone catches their attention…you can see the problem.
I discovered the reason for the problem. Susan's consumer past came back to bite her in the entrepreneurial wallet. She'd gone to a dealership once to purchase a car and the transaction went smoothly until it was time to leave. The salesman couldn't find the keys. Each time he returned he offered another upgrade, tweak, gadget that bumped up the price past their negotiated amount. She was trapped, figuratively and literally. Susan was scared and angry, and decided she'd never do something so evil if she had a business.
Now she does and a lot of empty time to fill because she rarely asks her potential clients to commit. If they do commit to working with her, they get a ton of bonus work because she doesn't want them to feel trapped into paying for unexpected costs. Her experiences shaped her business- not in a good way.
Consider these questions & erase hidden factors & make more sales in your business!
- Think about your shopping experiences. Are you making decision based on your past like Susan?
- What's you shopping MO? Are you a researcher, regretter, rationalizer or bargain hunter?
- Does your sales/marketing materials attract folks with similar shopping MOs to you
- Is that who you really want for an ideal client?
It's not news to anyone who knows me, but I'll confess to being a researcher. Like down to the n-th degree of facts & stats. Great for when I'm shopping for an pro range during a kitchen renovation. Terrible when I bring that same focus to writing sales pages or having a pricing conversation. It doesn't work well.
Telling every scrap of information in a conversation (sales page, pitch) is boring, not inspiring and plain overwhelming. Once I learned to speak from my perspective as a heart-based entrepreneur, not a panicked consumer, my sales grew.

NZD/USD Extends Recovery Towards 0.6900
The recovery from NY lows gained further traction in the Asian hours, driving the NZD/USD pair further towards 0.69 handle.
NZD/USD takes-out 20-DMA
Currently, the NZD/USD pair trades 0.47% higher at fresh session highs of 0.6787, breaking through 20-DMA upside barrier placed at 0.6883. The Kiwi's bullish run found fresh legs over the last hours, as the US dollar extended its downside momentum versus its major peers. The USD index now drops -0.12% to hit fresh session lows of 94.64.
Moreover, a rebound in the oil prices after yesterday's sharp decline collaborated to the upbeat tone around the resource-linked Kiwi. Markets now await the crucial policy decision from the Fed as well as the RBNZ later this week for next direction on the bird.
In the meantime, economic releases from the US and New Zealand will be closely eyed for further momentum on the major. The durable goods data from the US will be published later today, followed by NZ trade balance data due tomorrow.
NZD/USD Levels to consider
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 0.6920/24/ (1h 100 & 200-SMA), above which it could extend gains to 0.6950 (psychological levels). To the downside immediate support might be located at 0.6863 (1h 20-SMA/ daily pivot) and from there to 0.6800/0.6782 (round number/ 50-DMA).
