Cutting costs and boosting profitability – that's the short version of why a deal for PSA and its Peugeot, Citroën and DS brands to buy General Motors' Opel-Vauxhall business has been completed.
It's clearly big news. Last year, Opel-Vauxhall's sales in Europe were around the 1.0 million mark and PSA's at around 1.5m. By combining the two, you get a group that moves well clear of Renault-Nissan into second place in the European sales charts, behind only the Volkswagen Group (3.6m sales in 2016).
PSA takeover of Opel and Vauxhall completed
PSA's purchase of Opel-Vauxhall also brings significant economies of scale. The number of vehicle platforms and engines that need to be developed for five brands producing cars competing in the same market segments would be significantly reduced. To that end, PSA has said it will switch over Opel-Vauxhall models to its own platforms as their replacments are launched, and it has taken ownership of GM's factories in which to build them.
Car makers are under more pressure than ever to make huge investments in the future of their businesses, not least around the issues of reducing emissions and technologies such as autonomous driving. Spreading that investment across more brands for a greater return lessens the risk of that investment in the first place.

CSR: A Survival Tool For SMEs
CSR is a survival tool for small and medium enterprises (SME).
With 20% votes, this is the main result from the poll that I published some weeks ago, and also my humble personal opinion. The rest of participants voted for options that could actually be considered as benefits that lead to the main one, namely:
- 18% think that CSR make smaller businesses more suitable to be part of the supply chain of conscious clients. As Jill Poet states, supply chain issues are becoming more and more important, and it is the way how sustainability can spread top-down, from bigger clients to smaller suppliers. CSR even opens the door to public contracts, especially now that the EU is emphasizing on sustainable criteria for public procurement.
- 14% voted that a sustainable strategy allows to optimise the use of resources, such as energy, etc. Here I would not only include energy costs but also transportation costs, logistics or office material.
- Also 14% think that CSR is a way to differentiate from competitors, and in uncertain times like these, where competition is rough and SMEs have to struggle every day, CSR can be the added value that is required to excel.
Intentionally, I didn't include philanthropy, donations or any kind of sponsoring so maybe the poll was a little biased. Now I am curious about what would have been the result if I had included these options, which personally I do not consider a proper sustainability strategy.
However, I am surprised to see that the option connected with CSR as a self-knowledge tool (CSR to manage risks) was not picked by more participants, only 10% voted for it. Maybe because CSR as introspective analysis is more useful for complex structures, such as bigger corporations?
Last but not least, it was a little discouraging to see that CSR as gate to new products and services only got 6% of the votes. Are we really aware of the fact that sustainability can actually allow a company to reshape its portofolio? All kind of companies, not only SMEs, can develop sustainable goods addressed to certain market niches unexplored before. This is something we need to stress since I think it is an important benefit from CSR for SMEs.
I have to agree that CSR is the best strategy to survive in today's changing world. and maybe it is so because of all the reasons stated above.
Thanks everyone for participating!
CSR: What's In For Small Businesses?
Here are some prejudices concerning CSR/Sustainability and Small and Medium Enterprises (SME):
- Sustainability is for big companies
- Sustainability is too expensive
- Sustainability requires too many resources
- Sustainability is marketing, we cannot afford marketing campaigns
- We are far too few people, we don't need social responsibility
These are some of the opinions I have to counterback when I explain sustainability to friends, relatives or even owners of small businesses. Most of them look at me skeptical and surprised. Their looks say "Small businesses have enough to do trying to survive in the current situation, they dont have time to think about social responsibility or sustainability". However, the expression on their faces changes as soon as I start talking about the benefits of a sustainable strategy for a SME. SME are in fact open for CSR, as I explained in a previous post.
Which one is the most important benefit for a SME that engages in CSR/Sustainability? Take the poll!
ISO 26000 Tips: First, Your Stakeholders
Where to start? Which steps should I take? How do I begin?
These are some of the questions that most companies, especially small and medium ones, pose themselves when they consider implementing a sustainability strategy. Of course, other questions will arise as well, especially related with costs and payback. However, doubts about how to start the process and which are the first steps that need be taken are some kind of existential doubt that always come up.
The guide ISO 26000 is a very useful tool for small and medium entreprises (SME) willing to commit themselves to corporate sustainability and responsibility. It offers a variety of hints on how to deploy the process.
One good piece of advice from the ISO 26000 is that a company should know who its stakeholders* are, as a first step prior to identifying relevant matters that need be addressed by the company.
*Basically, a stakeholder is everyone affected by the activities of our company: suppliers, employees, customers, shareholders, NGOs, the local community etc.
What is our reach? Which stakeholders are within this reach?
Identifying its stakeholders becomes the first milestone of a company's way tos sustainability. Knowing who is affected by our impacts will let us know which issues need our special attention.
It requires a certain exercise of introspection by which we will analyse our internal and external relationships, as well as the impacts of our activities on others. This is a great self-knowledge tool that will not only help us set priorities, but also detect new business opportunities that might have been ignored so far.
How can we identify our stakeholders?
- We can check our activities by department, identifying each departemt's stakeholders. For example, our purcahsing department has relationsips with suppliers, our sales department with customers and so on.
- We could also analyse our products life cycle, from product design to market launching and waste management, and considering as well those stakeholders affected at any point along the supply chain (maybe hidden in some remote place far away).
- You can also check how the company dealt with this issue in the past and build on that.
The advantage of stakeholder mapping as a step prior to implementing our sustainability strategy are the following:
- It is the best way to know where we are and whom we are playing with in our organisation.
- Identifying our stakeholders and being ready for their demands will open the gates to new business opportunities.
- Stakeholder mapping helps prioritise and focus on those groups of particular relevance for our organisation. After all, our resources are limited, especially if we are a SME, and we need to focus on the essential.
- Stakeholder analysis is the best way to avoid ignoring groups such as NGOs or communities that, even though they are not formal part of our organisation's circles of action, are nevertheless affected by our activities.
Definitely, stakeholder mapping is one of the most valuable tips from the guide ISO 26000. It is probably the first step every company has to take on its roadmap towards corporate responsibility, right after having defined its strategy, and probably overlapping with other important steps, such as finding which issues are relevant to our company.
Marketing and Sustainability: A Dangerous Liaison?
Greenwashing! How often have I heard this word every time I speak about corporate social reponsibility (CSR)? The only reason for this reproach is that too many companies have used CSR initiatives in order to improve their image, as a smoke curtain to hide unsustainable activities.
There are a lot of examples where marketing is a way to make goods and services look greener. Charitable activities are designed by marketeers with the sole purpose of washing the image of a company. Or maybe suddenly the packaging of some article gets greener (the colour) without actually getting greener (the article itself).
Of course, we all agree that good CSR is everything but just a marketing tool. CSR is a business strategy with a holistic view that does not only concentrate on donations, sponsoring or cause marketing. It goes well beyond that, and the marketing department should be an ally, not an enemy.
Whereas sustainability* should not be considered as a marketing tool, marketing can (and has to) play a very important role when developing and communicating our CSR strategy. Why and how?
- CSR is a task of all departments, including the marketing department. Fortunately, those companies where CSR depends from the maketing department are becoming rare. More and more often, CSR orginates from the board of directors and is spread throughout the company via the rest of departments, including marketing.
- External marketing: If you are good, why not tell it to the rest? Maybe other companies can learn from your sustainable strategy. Marketing tools can help you spread the word. If you don't show off you might be missing the opportunity to find new investors or the possibility to enter new markets. Market your CSR strategy, but don't let it look like publicity.
- Internal marketing: When it comes to developing a CSR strategy, getting the involvement of employees is probably one the most important things. Without employee involvement, nothing will work. Here is where the marketing department becomes especially relevant, supporting other departments to "sell" the idea internally.
- Furthermore, the marketig department, deeply involved in product development (and product responsibility), has to be part of the CSR strategy from the very beginning.
Are you aware of other initiatives, activities where the marketing department could do a lot for our CSR strategy? Please share!
*The terms sustainability and CSR are used interchangeably in this post
Teaching CSR
Last week I visited my family in Palencia, a lovely, small, provincial town in Castilla y León (Northwestern Spain). During my trip, I had the chance to know the regional centre for environmental educative resources, PRAE. It was fantastic to see how they use different resources so that children and grown-ups get familiar with environmental issues. They also have different cooperation programs with schools to teach kids the first notions of sustainability.
During my visit there was a group of primary school girls and boys listening to how they can contribute to reduce global warming. Everything was being explained in their own language, and the kids were really interested, with their eyes and their ears wide open. I bet that they tried to transmit the message to their parents when they went back home: "Mom, we should replace that light bulb, it uses too much energy".
This initiative of teaching sustainability, also called environmental education, is the best way to make children familiar with issues like global warming or renewable energy.
And what about being socially responsible? I have always thought that responsible consumption and responsible business are two sides of the same coin. The sooner we start to "create" responsible citizens, the more chances we will have that these future business people will be socially and environmentally conscious.
Most school programs (mostly in secondary school) already include notions of of economy and business. Why not include sustainable and responsible business, as well as responsible consumption? Now that's something were governments could really do something to promote sustainability.
Are you aware of school programs (primary or secondary) were corporate social responsibility is included as a curricular activity, maybe under subjects such as economy or civic education? Do you know any initiative to teach children or teenagers the benefits of sustainable business?
The responsible children of today will be the responsible business people of tomorrow.

Abstract : Surface layers on lithium electrodes formed in several solvents including dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), polyethylene glycol 400 dimethyl ether (PEG400DME), and propylene carbonate (PC) have been studied by Raman spectroscopy. Both DMC and DEC were used singly, and also mixed with either methyl acetate or methyl formate. The Raman spectra showed that passive films formed on the Li surface in different solvents may have different chemical structures, which changed during the charging and discharging processes. A solid film of fullerene C60, which could be used as a cathode in Li rechargeable batteries, was examined in the PEG400DME solution by both electrochemical and Raman spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) showed five redox peaks which suggested the formation of C60(-), C60(2-), C60(3-), C60(4-), and C60(5-). Raman spectra obtained from thin C60 film indicated that the thin fulleride film dissolved in the PEG400DME/LiC10(4) solution at negative potentials....

SINGAPORE - The latest edition of a consumer confidence survey shows Singaporeans to be nervously more upbeat at the year's close.
On the bright side, the ANZ-Roy Morgan Singapore Consumer Confidence Index rose 1/3 points month-on-month to 126.5 in December. The index is is now clearly above its long-term average of 123.7 and 4.7 points higher than the same time a year ago.
But a closer look at the sub-inddices show up the lingering gloom over the future.
- In terms of personal finances, 29 per cent of respondents - less than half - said their families are better off financially than a year ago, with 8 per cent saying they are worse off.
- Looking ahead, 32 per cent said they expect their family to be better off financially in a year's time - equalling the lowest result recorded for this indicator since February 2015. - Exactly half of respondents expect Singapore to have good times financially over the next 12 months - the equal lowest response recorded for this indicator since April 2015. Eleven per cent (unchanged from November) expect bad times financially.
Said Glenn Maguire, ANZ chief economist for South Asia, Asean & Pacific: "Though Singaporean consumer confidence increased in December, the underlying details of the index paint a mixed picture of changeable and brittle sentiment drivers. This is consistent with an economy where both the external and domestic environments have dragged the Singaporean economy down to near technical-recession. The recovery in the economy in 2016 remains dependent on a highly uncertain trade and external outlook."
Mr Maguire said the two most notable areas of weakness in the survey responses were the assessment of personal finances and the 12 month outlook for whether Singapore would have good times financially.
He added that the deterioration in these two questions has been borne out by recent real data such as falling retail sales which exclude car sales.
"Our final consumer confidence index reading for Singapore suggests that 2016 will be no less a challenging year for the Singaporean consumer," he said.

Official of the Year
One award presented annually to an official who has made an outstanding contribution to amateur hockey during the current season. The recipient will have obtained all necessary certifications, is looked upon as a "leading" official within his/her community and is dedicated to the development of officiating by assisting with supervision, mentoring and/or training of younger and lower level officials.
Lacey Senuk (St. Albert)
The Official of the Year for 2019 has excelled at the highest levels nationally and internationally, but also serves as an important resource at the regional level as a mentor and instructor for aspiring officials in the Edmonton area.
Lacey Senuk is a level 5 referee in the north region who has worked many prestigious international hockey events. In 2017-18 season, Lacey earned an IIHF U18 assignment in Russia. And this year, she followed up by refereeing the 4-Nations Cup old medal game. She also refereed the gold medal game from the world women's championship in Espoo, Finland in 2019.
At the regional level, Lacey does supervisions and mentor skates with younger officials in St. Albert. A mentor skate involves working the lines when an official is doing their first bantam aa game as a linesman, the goal is to help the young official through the transition to this higher hockey.
But Lacey's biggest contribution in St. Albert is during referee advanced technical training monthly skates. Officials have 90 minutes of ice every month and lacey organizes and leads the drills for 35 to 40 officials. Lacey uses the drills designed for someone who skates at her level, which helps elevate the skills showed by young officials in their games. Lacey will work one on one with anyone who asks her to help improve their game.
In addition to the hockey that Lacey skates for in the elite programs around the north region and across the province, she regularly skates games in both our Raider Elite Hockey and our federation games. Sharing her knowledge with those she skates with and boosting our program.

UltraviolenceFebruary 16, 2009 at 12:50 pm | Posted in Matty Fatty | Leave a comment
Tags: Ultraviolence
Ultaviolence, unlike violence (see also: violence), is approved of by all. The rationale goes a little something like this: by being "ultra-," or "a lot of," ultraviolence is so violent that it goes from evil to good, back to evil, then back to good again. So, by all means. Help yourselves. – Matty Fatty

One of our favoriate annual events around here comes on Super Bowl weekend… but it has little to do with football or even silly commercials. It centers around, well, the usual at the library – our tummies. It's Souper Bowl Saturday time again!
I've spent some of today talking to the incomparable staff at the West Branch about their contributions. While Joanne, Mary, and Denise are in charge of the soups. Sarah and Donna are making bread and cookies – can't have soup without cookies. And for the bonus round Mary showed me recipe for sweet squash popsicles – yes, you heard me right. They're called Pumpkin Pie-sicles. She says the kids love them.
See you at the West Branch Library on Saturday from 12pm to 2pm for lunch.

Lucrative small businesses can rapidly fail if they lack cash. Likewise, struggling unprof small businesses can be survived for a long period of time if they have a good money balance. Simply puts, money is the life blood of American small companies.
Small Business Loans in Nubieber, California
Naturally, when times are difficult, failure to acquire capital to pay daily business expenses often becomes a source of worry, stress and anxiety and diversion for small company owners.
In these cases, lots of small business owners consider seeking short-term funding.
Small Business Loans in Nubieber, California
Regrettably, the majority of huge city and town conventional lending institutions have rigid and strict requirements that their customers need to satisfy.
Because of this, there is four particular functions that are demanded by those looking for company funding.
Easy credit approval:
Services have a different credit ranking from the business owner. Even if business owner has a high credit history, business might not have a recognized credit rating (specifically if freshly developed). Therefore, prospective lending institutions have to use services with that take the business owner's personal credit into factor to consider which accepts applicants with less than ideal credit.
Rapid Financing Time:
Normally, when an organisation is seeking out a loan, they have operating expenses that they need to have the ability to pay within the next 7-14 days (such as payroll and suppliers). As such, loans that take weeks to be approved and finances just aren't suitable to the majority of businesses needs
No Red Tape:
Lots of conventional lenders requires months of bank statements and years of income tax return to be able to process a loan application. While this may not be a big deal to a well-established company, it's not really practical for a new company that has stayed in business for 6 months to a year
Small Company Friendly:
Oftentimes, traditional lenders only service businesses doing 20k or more in monthly income. This disqualifies smaller sized services doing 10k-15k in monthly income.
Because of the stringent previously mentioned qualification requirements imposed by standard lending institutions, more and more company owner are relying on the myriad of online lending options now offered to small business owners in Nubieber, California
GoTorro Small Business Loans provides rapid funding in as low as 48 hours, of amounts varying from $10,000 – $500,000 to customers that meet the following basic qualification requirements:
500+ FICO Score
6+ Months in Business
10k+ Monthly Revenue
No security, No bank declarations, No Financials, No Tax Returns, and no credit recommendations are needed.

Lionel Dahmer's book plans
Lionel Dahmer's book plans -- The father of notorious serial killer Jeffery Dahmer hopes to write about his son's exploits
If you crossed American Psycho with Dr. Spock, the result might be something like the book that the father of serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer plans to write. In a six-page "To whom it may concern" letter circulated among publishers, Lionel Dahmer says he'll draw from "a wealth of home movies, correspondence…and interviews with Jeff himself" to produce a work that "might be a resource for professionals to unlock the secrets of the serial killer." The book, he adds, will be "not only a portrait of Jeff but of a family's dysfunction and my journey into self-awareness."
Publishers who have met with the 55-year-old Milwaukee chemist have had wildly contrasting reactions. Some are repulsed by the idea of a father making hay off his son's crimes and putting much of the blame for his son on the "emotional turmoil" of his first wife, Joyce. Lionel speculates in the letter that the "up to 26 different drugs" Joyce took for a nervous disorder during her pregnancy may have affected Jeffrey. (For her part, Joyce Flint has described Lionel as distant and frequently absent.) The elder Dahmer does implicate himself when he writes, "I hope to establish a certain pattern of avoidance that I inherited [from my parents] and subsequently passed on to Jeff." And he admits he thought "things were getting better" just before Jeffrey's arrest last July. The deal for the untitled book will almost assuredly exceed six figures.

BURLINGTON, Colo. — A 12-year-old boy accused of killing his parents and wounding two of his younger siblings is a "good kid" who is active in his church, often volunteering to hand out bulletins, work audio and video equipment and help other children learn Bible verses, friends and relatives said.
The boy is suspected of fatally shooting his parents and wounding his 5-year-old sister and 9-year-old brother Tuesday evening at the family's home in Burlington, near the Kansas border.
Police say they discovered the attacks after the boy called 911 to report a shooting.
District attorney Robert Watson said Thursday he plans to file two counts of first-degree murder and other charges against the boy by the end of Friday. He hasn't decided whether to try to prosecute the boy as an adult.
Tom Ward, a public defender representing the boy, declined to comment.

News of Charles and Marilyn Long's deaths spread quickly through this rural community of 3,700, where residents held a vigil Wednesday night. Friends and family members said there were no signs of trouble at the Longs' home.
"You'd always see them around town, volunteering for stuff," Ronnie Speakman said. "He worked for Frito-Lay, and you would always see him stacking chips in the aisle, always a smile on his face."
Charles and Marilyn Long, who were in their early 50s, had seven children; four of them are grown and no longer live at home. Marilyn Long homeschooled her kids and ran the children's ministry at the local Evangelical Free Church. Her husband served as an elder there.

Wally Long, the oldest brother of Charles Long, expressed disbelief about the accusations against his nephew, as well as a concern for the boy. The 12-year-old is being held at the nearest juvenile detention facility in Greeley, about 150 miles from his hometown.
"Whatever caused it, he is still who he is. He's still my nephew. And the first question I would ask him is, 'How are you?'" Wally Long said Thursday in an interview broadcast on Denver television stations.
Doctors expect the injured children to fully recover, he said.
Wally Long added his brother and sister-in-law lived for their children and there was nothing to indicate something like this could happen.
"It's a mystery to me. I'm sure it's a mystery to everyone," he said.
The pastor at the family's church agreed, adding he was unaware of any changes in jobs, housing or schooling that the family may have been dealing with.
The Rev. Ron Lee said the 12-year-old boy was involved with church activities, including greeting visitors before Sunday service, running PowerPoint presentations and helping other children memorize Bible verses.
When a school activity prevented the boy from volunteering on Sunday, he called the church to make sure there was a substitute greeter, Lee said.
"He was pleasant, helpful, a good spirit, a good kid," he said. "I'm so shocked. I almost feel like I need to hear from him or one of the children. He's not your typical 12-year-old."
Watson, the district attorney, said he'll take the community's views into consideration as he weighs whether to ask a judge to move the case to regular court and prosecute the boy as an adult. Watson said he'll also consider the boy's circumstances — such as whether he has any mental health problems — as he makes that decision.
"I have to be fair to both the community and this young man," Watson said.
His sprawling judicial district on Colorado's sparsely populated Eastern Plains normally goes two or three years without a single slaying. However, Watson said six people have faced murder charges in the district since August.

Specialist aseptic filling and closing systems supplier, groninger will show its FlexPro 50 for small batch production at CPhI in turn-key partnership with Martin Christ Freeze Drying Systems
The FlexPro 50 is modular, flexible and even faster available
As time-to-market cycles in the pharmaceutical industry grow shorter, the machine concepts need to offer more flexibility. Smaller batch sizes often demand high flexibility due to processing different containers and products on the same filling line. Ensuring sterility in these circumstances without compromising productivity calls for a flexible filling system that can be easily re-equipped for the most important standard containers.
Increasingly, pre-sterilised objects are used for aseptic filling and closing of cost-intensive biotech products, where the trend moves towards smaller batches. With this in mind, groninger developed the FlexPro 50 Ready-Engineered machine concept to process pre-sterilized, nested and ready-to-use syringes, cartridges and vials.
By changing few size parts, nested syringes, cartridges and vials can be filled and closed with FlexPro 50 in one line configuration. Interchangeable machine trolleys permit additional line configurations allowing for an integrated nest/bulk process line which achieves an output of up to 4,700 objects per hour.
FlexPro 50 allows for various manual or automatic processes to cover market and customer requirements. Aside from standardized coordinated line modules in a highly compact design, a major advantage for operators is the access to the machine modules at both sides. This enables a full technical integration of the isolator modules and particle monitoring system. The concept saves up to 40% of space compared to conventional systems.
Full integration of the air supply in the isolator allows for air exchange with the ambient air – so no additional space is required in a machine room. The decontamination cycle has been reduced by 50% compared to conventional isolators thanks to a newly developed direct injection system.
As a turn-key supplier of the FlexPro 50 concept, it is essential for groninger to inform about the up- and downstream processes for the filling of e.g. biotech products. Freeze drying is a central aspect in the processing of vials in bulk as well as in nests.
The entire process chain from the empty vial and its liquid filling, up to the freeze-drying process, will be presented with Martin Christ Freeze Drying Systems, a groninger partner, on stand F22 in Hall 4.0.

On 13 January 2017, the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) and the Italian Communication Authority (AGCOM) signed a memorandum of understanding concerning several aspects of their cooperation in the application of consumers' protection rules. Under the memorandum of understanding, in the case of consumers' protection matters, which potentially involve both authorities, there will be coordinated actions, even during the preliminary investigation phase. Furthermore, AGCM will inform AGCOM on cases concerning the violations of rules enforced by AGCOM, which will do the same in case of hypothesis of unfair commercial practices in the electronic communications sector. The authorities agreed also to set up a standing working group in order to promote the debate on consumer protection issues. Finally, the agreement provides rules on the exchange of information between the authorities on investigations.

Therefore, companies should be careful and verify that each leniency application submitted is prepared ad hoc for each jurisdiction and is not capable of raising doubts regarding its scope.…

WPP boss £48m pay voted against by a fifth of investors
More than one in five shareholders at advertising giant WPP have voted against chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell's £48m pay package.
The move makes it the seventh year in a row that more than 20% failed to endorse the boss's pay.
Investors also raised concerns over succession plans at the business when Sir Martin, 72, finally retires.
Last year 34% of investors refused to back his pay deal of £70.4m - the biggest in UK corporate history.
The vote took place at the company's annual general meeting on Wednesday and saw 21.3% of shareholders either vote against his pay or abstain.
WPP has attempted to reign in the vast sums paid to Sir Martin since 2012, when he faced a 60% revolt by investors.
Since then, he has been paid more than £210m.
Investors said they also wanted the board to give clearer indications over the company's future.
Major investment funds, including Standard Life Investments, Royal London Asset Management and Hermes asked chairman, Roberto Quarta, for clarity.
Deborah Gilshan, stewardship and governance director at Standard Life Investments, which has a 1.5% stake in WPP, said: "[Succession] remains the key governance risk to our long term investment in WPP.
"Unusually, the CEO's service contract may be terminated by either the company or Sir Martin without any notice.
"Given this, we suggest the board consider what lead time would be required to ensure an orderly succession and discuss this with Sir Martin."
Executive pay "excessive"
Mr Quarta insisted succession planning was well underway with key talent across the WPP group meeting the board.
He added that a "constantly refined list" of external candidates was also available.
Sir Martin has constantly defended his high pay, pointing out that WPP, which he essentially founded in 1985, continues to grow from strength to strength.
Royal London Asset Management (RLAM), which holds shares worth £106m, remained unconvinced.
Ashley Hamilton Claxton of RLAM, explained why the organisation voted against the pay package.
She said: "Executive pay at WPP continues to look excessive.
"Whilst we acknowledge that the reduction in the total long term bonuses and incentives available to executives under the new remuneration policy is a step in the right direction, the sheer scale of these remains exceptionally high, at over nine times the salary for the CEO."

Superb 9.0 From 369 reviews
Nice and very clean, centrally located, professional staff, Good Breakfast.
We took a short trip to Hamburg and stayed at the NH. The hotel is centrally located, about 15 minutes (walking) from the harbor and another 15 minutes from the city center. The staff was knowledgable about the city, and very helpful in planning how to manage the logistics on foot. As for the room, it was clean, nicely appointed, and very comfortable. We asked for a crib for our baby, which was delivered on-time with an amenity kit of baby shampoo, body lotion, bath gel, sponge, and hairbrush just for her. So thoughtful! The only downsides: no gym, restaurant, or room service. Otherwise, great!
Very nice, clean hotel with extremely friendly staff and large comfortable (#523) room. The only thing this hotel needs is a gym. It does have a sauna, but that should be complemented with a few workout devices (treadmill, elliptical, some weights) instead of the existing lounge chairs that it has. Just a ½ mile away from the Reeperbahn and with a few nice bars, food places and mini-mart on the same street.
Visiting NH Collection in Hamburg City was a great pleasure. The service level is really excellent and the rooms are bright, clean and very well equipped. I would definitely choose this hotel again. Also the location is great - close to Reeperbahn and in walking distance of shopping streets in city.
Very helpful staff our luggage was lost by the airline and they were very helpful calling and tracking it down. The suite was very comfortable and well designed. The location was good for walking around this beautiful city.

UC San Diego officials are looking into a party that was held earlier this week off-campus. As the LA Times reported, the party was dubbed a "Compton Cookout" and organizers encouraged people to come dressed as ho's and served fried chicken and watermelon.
"In Sacramento, Assemblyman Isadore Hall III (D-Compton) said leaders of the Legislature's black, Latino, Asian Pacific Islander, gay and women's caucuses would gather outside the Capitol on Thursday to condemn the party."
I'll let the above groups take on the racist attitudes. But meantime, what was described is not what any party I've been to The Comptons is like. It so happens my husband's family lives in The Comptons and so I have not only discovered a Compton donut shop that makes the finest apple fritters in the world, and shopped at Compton's surprisingly well-stocked Food4Less (lots of vegetarian options and good produce), but I've attended more "Compton Cookouts" than 99% of San Diegans.
Here are some shots from one of Grandma's barbecues … a diverse crowd (Anglo, Latino, Cambodian, African-American, etc.), tons of good food (yes, including fried chicken, but then we had Dinah's fried chicken at my wedding and I'm as white as Andy Griffith); beer (no malt liquor), rum, and tequila; and for music? KCRW, KKJZ, and CD's with "ghetto" favorites like … Steely Dan.
Just a little of the food:
Brian Thuok:
Our now famous Grandma, Delfina Bermudez:
Julian, Randy and Jack:
My sister Clare, indicating exactly how much hot sauce to use … and my brother in law Larry agreeing, of course:
The racists also said something about fights breaking out at a typical party. First, I don't think this is confined to the ghetto (watch any reality tv show); and second, all I know is you couldn't hear a fight breaking out at Grandma's because everyone's laughing too loud.

Congressman Gregg Harper Endorses Tate Reeves for Governor
January 10, 2019
JACKSON – Grassroots conservatives are rallying to support Tate Reeves for Governor and his team now includes the grassroots leader who became a Congressman, Gregg Harper.
Harper rode an unmatched grassroots organization to victory in a crowded congressional race in 2008 and represented the 3rd Congressional District from 2009-2019. Prior to that, he served for eight years as Chairman of the Rankin County Republican Party.
"Tate Reeves is a conservative fighter who will stand up for Mississippi values," said Harper. "Tate grew up and raises his family here in Rankin County. He has a strong record of cutting taxes and getting government out of the way so Mississippi's economy can grow. I strongly support him for Governor."
"As a fellow conservative from Rankin County, I am honored to have earned the support of my friend Congressman Gregg Harper," said Reeves. "Gregg fought for Mississippians in Washington, and he knows I will stand with President Trump and fight for all Mississippians here at home."
