Stanley Kubrick's Boxes
Stanley Kubrick's Boxes [entire documentary] - 49 min
Push play or go to Google.
If the devil is in the details, then Stanley Kubrick had a fruitful pact with Mephistopheles, judging by "Stanley Kubrick's Boxes." Left-of-field docu by confessed fan Jon Ronson reveals yet another of the mythomaniac director's eccentricities: a huge collection of cardboard boxes in which he saved every memo, fan letter and piece of production trivia, mostly from "2001: A Space Odyssey" on. Packed with some new, and some familiar, insights into Kubrick's meticulous, obsessive mind, and revealing a very human side of the reclusive helmer, pic deserves extensive fest play as well as cable airings.

Revenge Toilet Paper – This roll of toilet paper that is impossible to tear or get ripped off. Perfect for an April Fool's day prank, or simply just for revenge as its name suggests.
Eco Can – An interesting design for a reusable water-bottle made to look like a disposable canned soda beverage. Being made of biodegradable cornstarch, the Eco Can not only does its job of holding drinkable water but also helps to remind people to conserve the environment.
Minecraft in Real Life – almost. This is how MineCraft could look like if zombies existed, and if Minecraft existed in real life, and so on. A fantasy style video named: The Last Minecart.
Iced Batteries – Batteries made of ice, or rather ice shaped to look like batteries. Ice-cube trays that make them for electrifying any drink that they come across.
Japanese Real-Life Mario Kart – This is how the Japanese do Mario Kart in real life. Instead of having a prankster ride a Kart going around annoying people, a good Samaritan gets behind the wheel to make kids happy.
Ice Cream Tie – A nice looking tie to be seen wearing on a hot summer day, if you happen to be selling ice cream that is.
Mario Power-Up Box Candy – Just like in Super Mario games, this power-up question mark box offers something nice inside. Though we can't get invincibility stars or green 1-up mushrooms in real-life, this Mario question mark box offers sour strawberry flavored candy to help one perk up during the day.
Zombies Eat Flesh – If zombies ever ran their own food chain, they just might use this logo. An interesting parody for a zombie-themed pinback button design.
Food flavored toothpaste – Instead of filling the mouth with the common mint flavor after brushing our teeth, these wacky food-flavored toothpastes fill them with food flavors instead. Bacon and cupcake flavors to be precise.

The experience of palliative patients and their families of a family meeting utilised as an instrument for spiritual and psychosocial care: A qualitative study
This study explores the experience of palliative patients and their family members of a family meeting model, utilised as an instrument for the provision of spiritual and psychosocial care. In doing so the study embraces a broad understanding of spirituality which may or may not include formal religious practice and a concept of psychosocial care that includes: social and emotional well-being, communication, self esteem, mental health and adaptation to illness. The meeting of spiritual and psychosocial needs is considered to be an important aspect of palliative care.
This qualitative study, philosophically underpinned by hermeneutic phenomenology, investigates the participatory experience of palliative care patients and their significant family members of such a family meeting. People registered with two large metropolitan palliative care services, who met selection criteria, were referred by medical staff. Twelve of the 66 referred took part in family meetings which also included significant others invited by the patient. A total of 36 family members participated. The number of participants of individual family meetings ranged from two to eleven. After the family meeting every participant was invited to take part in an individual in-depth interview about their experience of the meeting. Forty seven interviews were conducted. These were audio recorded and transcribed.
Data analysis, utilising Ricoeur's theory of interpretation, revealed seven main themes: personal experience of the meeting, personal outcomes, observation of others' experience, observation of experience and outcomes for the family unit, meeting facilitation, how it could have been different and general applicability of the family meeting. Throughout these themes were numerous references to aspects of the web of relationships which describe the concept of spirituality as it is defined for the purpose of this study.
The findings indicate the potential of the type of family meeting reported for use in the spiritual and psychosocial care of people receiving palliative care and their families. However further research is needed to explore its application to more culturally diverse groups and its longer term impact on family members.
The importance of spiritual care
It is widely accepted that spiritual care of palliative patients, near the end-of-life, is an important part of their total care and that its provision is a multi-disciplinary task
Defining spirituality
Some literature has differentiated between spirituality and religiosity
On the other hand it has been argued that religion (or faith) is one of three domains of spirituality, along with peace and meaning, rather than being differentiated from it and this premise forms the basis of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-being Scale (FACIT-Sp), used to measure the religious/spiritual components of quality of life
For the purposes of the current study, the concept of spirituality is described "as the web of relationships that gives coherence to our lives. Religious belief may or may not be a part of that web" [17 pS11]. This web of relationships may include relationships with places, things, ourselves, significant others, and with a power beyond ourselves and is integral to our capacity to find meaning and purpose in our experiences
With a spirituality which does not necessarily include adherence to religious doctrine or practice there is a risk that both definitions of spirituality and spiritual well-being measures tap issues such as social well-being and mental health, also described as psychosocial care
Work with individuals or with families?
There is increasing evidence that working with the whole family rather than focusing only on the patient, especially in a palliative care setting, has better outcomes for both patient and family members
A family is conventionally defined as a group of persons linked by kinship, either through blood lines or by marriage
Working with families in Palliative Care
Family meetings have been promoted in palliative care as important tools for information sharing and care planning and have been shown to be effective in meeting the needs of family carers in particular
Murphy's family meeting model
One way of working with family groups in providing psycho-social and spiritual care has been described by Murphy
The current study investigated the experience of palliative care patients and their family members, of taking part in a family meeting conducted according to Murphy's model, for the purpose of facilitating spiritual and psychosocial care.
The philosophical underpinning of this qualitative study is Hermeneutic Phenomenology
Both 'hermeneutics' and 'phenomenology' have been variously defined, but for the purposes of this study they were taken to have the following meanings:
Hermeneutics is the "art and science of interpretation" especially as it applies to text
Phenomenology is the study of the essence of a phenomenon as it presents itself in lived experience in the world
The development of hermeneutic phenomenology was an evolutionary process to which a number of renowned philosophers contributed. Husserl, widely acknowledged as the founder of phenomenology, introduced the term 'life world' which was understood as being what is experienced pre-reflectively
Approval to conduct the study was given by the following human research ethics committees: University of Adelaide, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Calvary Health Care Adelaide and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
People receiving palliative care were recruited from among those registered with two metropolitan palliative care services. In addition to caring for patients admitted to two large teaching hospitals and associated hospice facilities, both services also offered an extensive community outreach service. The following selection criteria were applied:
• Patients considered able, physically and mentally, by the attending medical staff, to be present at and participate in the family meeting;
• Patients who were aware of the terminal nature of their illness and were not expected by medical staff to live longer than six months;
• Patients over the age of 18 who were able to converse and give informed consent in English.
Ethics approval required that patients be referred to the researcher by medical or nursing staff.
Those patients who agreed to take part were asked to invite the people important to them to attend the family meeting. These family members were over the age of 16 and able to speak English and gave written informed consent in English.
Gathering data
Family meetings were facilitated according to the model described by Murphy and took place in a location chosen by the patient
Table 1
Key Features of the Murphy's Family Meeting Model
Aspect of Model
Main Features
5 Part Paradigm:
1. Story of the Journey
- The patient speaks about their journey of illness including things that are and have been important to them and have helped them to make sense of it.
- May also include the story of other important experiences and struggles of their life.
2. Worries and Fears
- The storyteller is encouraged to speak of their worries, fears and concerns about the illness and its outcomes.
3. Speaking of Roots
- Speaking of family history, recent and not so recent.
- Allowing the pains and the joys to be openly expressed.
4. The Family Speaks
- Each person present has the opportunity to tell the story of their journey in relation to their loved one's illness
- They speak of their history together as they have experienced it and have the opportunity to respond to what others have said.
5. The Closing or Blessing
- Bringing the meeting to a close in a manner appropriate for the family (may or may not include ritual with religious connotations).
- It may be an opportunity for each person to say one thing that they value most about the person who is dying.
The 3 Main Roles:
1. The Storyteller
- The one who speaks - everyone takes a turn (1 at a time)
2. Witness(es)
- The ones who listen preferably without judgement or interpretation - everyone else who is present
3. The Facilitator or Guide
- Supports, guides and moves the meeting along with the use of probe questions if necessary e.g. "Would you like to say more about that?" or "How did you feel about that?"
In depth interviews, which draw on an interpretive framework, were considered to be most appropriate for this study, not only because they provide rich data but because a number of researchers have concluded that this method is not excessively stressful for palliative patients and may be therapeutic, as it provides them with an opportunity to tell their story in their own way and at a pace they choose
The interviews were audio recorded, with the written consent of the participants. Each interview began with the request that the participants tell the interviewer about their experience of the family meeting. Some prompt questions, such as; 'Would you like to tell me more about that?', 'What do you think will be the outcome of that?' and 'In what other ways was the family meeting helpful/not helpful to you?' were utilised to encourage in-depth reflection.
Data analysis
All interviews were transcribed and, after checking for accuracy of transcription, were analysed with the assistance of the software package QSR NVivo 2.0 (QSR International, 2002). Ricoeur's theory of interpretation, which describes three levels of analysis, was utilized in the analysis of data in this study
The first level of textual analysis, as proposed by this theory is that of considering only the internal nature of the text. In this process the text is seen as having no context and no author or audience. What arises from this is an 'explanation' based solely on a literal consideration of what the text says. Level two analysis begins the process of understanding what the text is talking about. This moves the analysis into the area of interpretation, as opposed to explanation, and its outcome is what Ricoeur describes as a naïve understanding of the text
Rigour and accountability
While more than one guide to rigorous reporting of research founded in hermeneutic phenomenology has been published, the one outlined by Rice and Ezzy was utilized in this study
As discussed in the basis for selecting Heideggarian inspired hermeneutic phenomenology for this study, it is not possible to produce a totally objective interpretation as there is no one 'true' interpretation of data. Hence the use of inter-rater reliability in coding (having two or more people code the same data and check correlation of coding) does not guarantee the reliability or validity of interpretations and so was not used in this study
A total of 66 patients were referred and received information sheets and where appropriate, consent forms and a short demographic questionnaire. Seven (11%) of those referred were not approached due to death (4) or sudden deterioration (3). Two (3%) who had been approached and agreed to participate subsequently deteriorated and did not take part in a family meeting. Forty-five (68%) of those referred declined to participate, their reason most commonly being that either they thought their family would not want to be involved or their family thought that participation would be too demanding for the patient. Twelve patients, (18%) of those referred (mean age 66.7) took part in a family meeting and their demographic details are presented in Table

THEME 1 - Personal experience of the meeting
Participants appreciated that 'there was enough opportunity to bring up whatever you wanted' but also that they had not felt undue pressure to discuss topics they preferred to avoid.
Spiritual Impact
Remembering the good times together gave them 'a lot of joy and comfort' but some also were reluctant to 'speak about death'. One family had a very strong culture that lacked openness in relation to sensitive issues, especially talking about matters related to death.
Psychosocial Impact
Although the 'relaxed atmosphere enabled openness' some had found that the experience of speaking in the family group about these matters was 'not as easy as you might think'.
A range of feelings were experienced by participants during the family meetings, which they verbalised during the interviews. These included feeling 'positive', 'relaxed', 'comfortable', 'surprised', 'less threatening than expected', 'a little nervous', 'emotional' and 'glad that no-one was out of control'. For a number of participants it was an opportunity 'to get real' about the situation.
Both spiritual and psychosocial impact
Participants indicated that the family meeting had resulted in new understanding of themselves, of other individual family members and of the family as a unit. These new understandings included things such as 'I had thought what I did was just ordinary', 'I didn't know they cared', 'good to know how others feel' and 'we understand each other better now'.
THEME 2 - Personal outcomes
Spiritual Impact
A few participants identified specific personal changes that had occurred for them as a result of the meeting. These included becoming '
Psychosocial Impact
One young mother changed her view about talking to a child about death and funerals. Two participants on the other hand specifically commented that they didn't think there would be any changes for them.
Both spiritual and psychosocial impact
One of the personal outcomes of the family meeting for some of the participants was a greater freedom to speak. This was expressed from the perspective that they had been given an arena 'to say things that they would not have otherwise said' and it also manifest in a belief that 'it will be easier to talk about these things now' than it had been prior to the meeting.
THEME 3 - Observation of others' experience
Psychosocial Impact
Feelings observed in others were also mostly seen as positive in nature and included 'supported and reassured', 'happy', 'more at ease' and 'calmed down'.
A few participants reported noticing 'sadness' and 'stress' in others.
Both spiritual and psychosocial impact
Generally the participants were surprised by and appreciative of the degree of openness of other family members during the meeting, only two indicating that they had hoped for greater openness.
The development of new understandings was also a strong feature in the participants' observations of others. These are illustrated in the following quotes: 'it was just nice for her to hear about how valued she is', 'it made her realise that it is no good sweeping it under the cupboard' and 'he would have learnt new things about the rest of the family'. Other more general comments included the observation that despite initial scepticism some had found a lot of benefit in the experience.
THEME 4 - Observations of experience and outcomes for the family unit
The experience of the family meeting was perceived to have had an impact on some areas of family life.
Both spiritual and psychosocial impact
Many participants believed that 'family bonds had been strengthened' and this included 'feeling more comfortable talking about these things', finding 'their place in the family' and realising 'that we are not alone in this.' A number of participants anticipated that the experience of the family meeting opened things up more, 'may make the grieving process a little easier' or would at least 'give it a different focus', in this case a shift from trying to pretend it didn't happen to being able to celebrate the life of the deceased relative.
There was also an appreciation of the possibility that this increased openness could be experienced in a location and environment which most family members really valued.
THEME 5 - Meeting Facilitation
A majority of the participants commented on their experience of the meeting facilitation.
Psychosocial Impact
Of particular importance to them was the 'informal', 'relaxed' and 'un-pressured' approach that made speaking about sensitive issues easier for them. They found that 'open prompts encouraged a wide ranging discussion' and that 'the opportunity for all to speak with minimal interruption' had been a very positive experience.
Both spiritual and psychosocial impact
The participants appreciated the 'tactful handling of problem areas' and allowing the 'patient to set the scene'. A few family members considered that it was easier having a facilitator from outside the family. Only two problems were reported which were: frustration with a member who they considered 'needed gagging' and another who found some of the silences 'uncomfortably long'.
A number of the participants also commented on specific qualities that they had either observed in the facilitator of the family meeting, or that they thought would be important for facilitators of such meetings to demonstrate. These included: the ability to 'draw people out', 'to make people feel relaxed', to be 'perceptive', 'to handle sensitive issues' and to be 'adaptable to different families'.
THEME 6 - How it could have been different
Both spiritual and psychosocial impact
The main comment relating to the theme "how it could have been different" was the desire for, or interest in, having more than one such family meeting, considering that they 'would have been more relaxed' or 'would have had other issues they wanted to pursue'. Other comments related to the number of people present, 'I wish X was there' or to whether or not children should be involved, opinion being divided among participants who commented on this issue.
The timing of the meeting in relation to the illness trajectory and the place and style of the meeting were also matters raised by a small number of participants (only 1 in each case).
THEME 7 - General applicability of the family meeting
Both spiritual and psychosocial impact
It was widely agreed that a family meeting of this type 'should be available to everyone' and that it was valuable 'even if it was tense'. Many participants however acknowledged that 'some can't face it' or would find 'it just too hard' or that 'there would be different cultural issues'. The importance of 'respecting the patient's wishes' was stressed.
Some participants also made suggestions for the promotion of these family meetings within the palliative care service and particularly that 'clear simple' information that promoted it 'as something normal' in the service, was important.
In exploring participants' experiences of the family meeting, seven dominant themes were identified. Within these themes frequent reference was made to most characteristics of the domain of spirituality as described in this study, which were a web of relationship with places, things, ourselves, significant others, a power beyond ourselves and the significance of these relationships in the finding of meaning and purpose. The family meeting also enabled a process of review which was appreciated by participants and confirms the findings of other studies which not only found that life review was an important process for those near end of life, but could also be instrumental in the finding of meaning and purpose
Significant relationship with places and things did not, however, feature strongly in the majority of participants' described experience of the family meeting. One reference to this was made by a participant who was planning a future family picnic "in a place most of us love" and indicating the importance of this environment in relaxing and encouraging participation in conversation about matters previously not discussed by this family.
The main focus of most participants' experience of the family meeting was concerned with relationship with themselves and with significant others. Examples of these are numerous in themes one to four described above, although they are also implied in some aspects of themes five to seven. References to 'getting real about it', new understanding of self and others (theme1), initiating contact with estranged relatives and letting go of past hurts (theme 2), new degree of openness, new understandings (theme 3), strengthening of bonds, allowing grief to have a different focus (theme 4), changed experience of relationship (theme 5), a desire to have another meeting so others not present can also experience this (theme 6) are all examples of how the meeting contributed to strengthening the web of relationship with self and significant others for the participants of the family meetings.
Three participating families were quite open about their religious affiliations and regular participation in the life of a religious community, although only one participant made direct reference to this as an outcome of the meeting experience when they said that it had reconnected them to 'God the Father'. Murphy's family meeting model is however flexible enough to allow open discussion of religious issues and also to incorporate religious practices into its expression, especially, for example in the closing of the meeting which could include prayer, readings, lighting of candles and blessings if these are consistent with the practices and desires of the family involved.
The concept of finding meaning and purpose was also directly mentioned in several themes as an outcome of the family meeting experience. Two examples are: making a contribution to research, other families and our family (theme 2) and a person finally understanding how much they are valued (theme 5). There were however numerous examples where the adding of value and meaning were implied in the descriptions of participants' experience.
It is evident that significant psychosocial issues were also addressed in these family meetings. Communication within the family was identified especially in the first three of the seven themes which emerged in the data. Considerable emphasis was placed on greater than normal openness of family members and the opportunity this provided for people to connect with each other in a stronger more meaningful way. Good, clear, open communication has been acknowledged as vital in overcoming "conspiracies of silence" relating both to information about the illness and the care needed but also in overcoming built in family barriers to real connection with each other
Although not specifically identified by participants, it became apparent as interviews progressed, that the needs of some individuals to speak one on one with another person had not been met by the family meeting. There were issues that some participants couldn't or wouldn't raise in front of the family, but also others that arose afterwards having been stimulated by the meeting. The use this family meeting model as a means of providing spiritual care would not eliminate the need for some people to have the opportunity for more individual care.
It is also important to consider how broadly Murphy's model could be applied as an instrument for spiritual and psychosocial care
The findings suggest that a family's expressed view of their closeness and degree of openness are not reliable guides to the likelihood of members experiencing greater than normal degrees of openness in themselves or others during the family meeting, or to whether they are likely to come to new understandings as a result of the meeting. This is consistent with the concept of positive self-presentation and impression management
The question then arises, 'Could there be a reliable way of determining which families would most benefit from this family meeting which works with a very subjective area of care, and which ones are most likely to decline to participate?' It is possible that the family relationships index may be a useful screening tool to identify those most likely to benefit
The differing environmental factors which may have impacted on the outcomes of this study are the location of the patient at the time of referral (home/hospital/hospice) and the cultural environments of the two palliative care service providers. This latter factor has been discussed in Tan, Wilson, Olver and Barton
Patients who were at home at the time of referral were twice as likely to agree to participate, as those who were in a hospice, and about three times more likely to participate than those who were in hospital. Five of the participating patients are known to have died within two weeks of the family meeting intervention, three of these being in a hospice at the time of referral and two at home. These factors, although certainly not conclusive, suggest the possibility that willingness to participate may be improved for patients living at home, contrary to the results of another study, but would seem to be unrelated to imminent death
Other circumstances which may have impacted on the outcomes, apart from family characteristics already discussed are; the nature of the illness (malignant or non-malignant), the time since diagnosis and the prognosis of life expectancy from the perspective of the patient and family members. Apart from a few comments about the timing of the meeting in relation to illness trajectory, this study did not provide data relating to these circumstances.
In conclusion, it was found that for the participants of this study, the family meeting intervention was generally a positive experience and provided opportunity to explore and further enrich their spirituality as they expressed it as well as their psychosocial well-being. However, further research with more heterogeneous groups could be undertaken to consider the appropriateness and efficacy of Murphy's family meeting model for participants of differing cultural, religious and language backgrounds, different age groups (especially younger people) and the longer term benefits of the utilization of this model. This would certainly be facilitated by a preliminary study designed to identify or develop a suitable screening tool to effectively identify families most likely to benefit from this family meeting. This could be enhanced by a multisite application of the meeting model allowing application to a wider population. The impact of meetings over a longer period of time, for example 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post meeting, recognising that patients would often not be able to participate in these follow ups, would be beneficial in determining the longer term impact for families.

"White collar crime doesn't count!"Embezzlement. Corporate espionage. Violence against copy machines. These are all white collar crimes, the sort executed by the White Collar Worker. They tend to be non-violent and money-driven. The Enron scandal in Real Life raised awareness about these sort of criminals. If the perpetrators are caught, fiction will often portray them as going to a Luxury Prison Suite. How often this happens in Real Life (and to what degree) varies. The supertrope of Stealing from the Till, Penny Shaving and Ponzi.
— Michelle Darnell, The Boss

- In Arkham Asylum: Living Hell, Warren White is on trial for a massive investment scheme. He gets his trial transferred to Gotham for an easier insanity defense, which was probably the biggest mistake of his life.
- The Punisher:
- One arc has Frank go up against totally-not-Enron, culminating in blowing up a boat that held their major stockholders (they shouldn't have pointed out that they weren't really criminals, compared to the murderers and rapists he kills on a regular basis). It also introduced the Affably Evil Barracuda (the CEO's go-to guy for delicate problems), who proved so popular he got his own miniseries.
- In Welcome Back, Frank, Mr. Payback is introduced shooting up a board meeting after listing the crimes the executives were guilty of. What he didn't know was that he accidentally killed an innocent cleaning lady during the attack, putting him on Frank's list.
- Office Space revolves around this concept as the main characters try to steal money from their employers via a computer algorithm.
- Figures into The Other Guys, which makes a conspicuous point of making the real villains not gangsters or drug dealers but wealthy businessmen.
- The focus of the drama/thriller Margin Call, a fictionalized account of the 2008 Wall Street financial crisis.
- Not a straight case. A major point of the film is that their actions, while certainly deceptive and unethical, aren't actually illegal. Technically, no crimes were committed.
- Related to the above, the actions of the Duke brothers in Trading Places (using inside information to try and corner the orange juice market) were unethical and deceptive, but, at the time, not illegal in the commodity market. (In fact, the movie was cited when they finally made it illegal.)
- The focus of Arbitrage, starring Richard Gere.
- Mad Money does this when a group of Federal Reserve workers steal old $1 bills which are supposed to be destroyed from the mint. They end up getting away with it as well.
- Side Effects opens with Emily's husband getting out of jail after doing four years for insider trading. Also, it is possible to make money on the stock exchange by betting that a company's shares will go down, rather than up. If you know that a pharmaceutical company's new anti-depressant is going to get some very bad publicity for its side effects, then it's a pretty safe bet.
- Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room was largely about this trope.
- Walter Jon Williams' Hardwired is rife with this. It's pretty violent, though; one episode of corporate sabotage involves murdering an executive to get access to the company's intranet.
- Going Postal and Making Money deal with the finances of the Grand Trunks company cheating the inventor of the system out of his company and property, and crooked bank managers playing their own games with the banks, respectively. Boxed Crook Moist Von Lipwig is the hero of the two books, and probably one of the most honest people in those two books.
- As it seems he's been set up to reform Ankh-Morpork's tax system, we can only wonder who has been stealing from whom.
- One of the X-Wing Series novels has Wraith Squadron pretending to be the crew of a warship touring planets aligned with Warlord Zsinj; they killed the captain and will later start impersonating him with the help of his full-holo Captain's Log, but in this particular instance a planetary governor wants to talk to the captain. Improvising, Face pretends to be a lieutenant and says that the captain is in the bath, dictating his memoirs. He has to budget his time; he's not some planetary governor who can skim taxes with one hand and pick his nose with the other! (It helps that the late captain was a massive narcissist who dictated his personal log in full holo—the equivalent of recording a video journal using a cinema-quality camera—so him dictating his memoirs in the bath was almost plausible.)
- Chapter 21 of The Pale King is a conversation between an IRS auditor and a businessman trying to falsify his tax report. He is given two options: jail, or filing a new report with the correct information and paying the late fees.
- Claude suspects that the higher-ups at Post 047 are doctoring the records so that the site has a perfectly averaged productivity rate, which would make them appear less suspicious.
Live-Action TV
- On Brothers and Sisters, William Walker embezzled his company's pension plan in order to buy a plot of land in the desert. Because the Army wanted the land, the Walker children were able to sell it to them at a profit before anyone noticed the money was gone.
- And in the third season, William's son Tommy tried a similar scheme. It didn't work so well for him.
- Leverage is all about getting revenge for these.
- George Bluth's arrest for "creative accounting" at his development company is what starts off the plot of Arrested Development.
- Ryan is arrested for fraud in The Office.
- Earlier, one of the Stamford transfers was a white collar ex-con.
- As the name suggests, White Collar is about a Boxed Crook brought in by the FBI to investigate this sort of crime.
- Life has Ted Earley, who lives in Charlie's garage and manages his assets. Luxury Prison Suite averted— Ted was in with Charlie, who was in for murder. Whatever.
- An episode of Castle dealt with someone murdered while engaged in corporate espionage.
- In Highway To Heaven, one character uses insider trading, including stealing the company's trash and hiring a disgruntled former employee for his insider information to start a series of deals so he can manipulate two companies' stock prices, gain control over the company's voting shares, and get rid of his enemies. This is all done in the name of "good" by the shows protagonist, an angel, who in other episodes, has an ethical dilemma over much simpler things, but white collar crime is apparently okay.
- In one episode of Burn Notice, Michael pretends to join a group of executives planning a robbery, assuming they're going to steal some funds over the computer. Completely averted when they instead take a dozen hostages and plan on forcing a millionaire to transfer his money at gunpoint.
- This sets off the plot to 2 Broke Girls: Caroline's father is arrested for running a Ponzi Scheme.
- On Boardwalk Empire most of the characters are straight up blue collar bootleggers and/or gangsters but Nucky Thompson started out as a crooked politician and is not adverse to some white collar crime like crooked land deals. Gangster Arnold Rothstein falls victim to a real estate company running a pump-and-dump scheme and plans to revenge by running a reverse scam on them. One of Nucky's associates was ruined when he invested in the original Ponzi Scheme.
Tabletop Games
- The Corporations in Shadowrun engage in a variety of hiring shadowrunners to do their dirty deeds ranging from small things like stealing the lunch orders of the rival's corporate meeting to ordering the murder of a rival CEO.
- This is what Gianna Parasini deals with in the Mass Effect series. You can help her out on a few occasions. The planet of Noveria where she works in the first game seems to suffer from this endemically.
- While the actual investigations in Ace Attorney are Always Murder, the smuggling ring Lang is chasing after is engaged in a number of white collar illegal operations. Of note is the forging of money using the embassy printing press that has damaged Zheng Fa's economy.
- While the Grand Theft Auto series focuses more on violent crime, one of the activities in Grand Theft Auto V involves being able to play the stock market. A string of assassination missions will affect the in game market, allowing the player to use their insider knowledge of a crime they are about to commit to their advantage. If done correctly the player can turn tens of millions into a few billion just by buying and selling certain stocks at opportune times.
- This is part of the Auntie Shu Boys questline in Watch_Dogs 2 and how the Big Bad is taken down. The ASB are accessing the ocean cables to get insider knowledge on the New York Stock Exchange and are using it for their own financial gain, which makes them enemies of DedSec. They were given access by Duan Nemec, Blume's CTO after he used the Bellwether system to play the stock markets in 2007 (also causing the 2007 Financial Crisis) as an early beta test for Blume. Exposing this gets Duan arrested in the ending.
- In The Letters Of The Devil, Rita Carey is accused of running a Ponzi scheme.
Western Animation
- This is the main motivation of Captain Planet villian Luten Plunder.
- In The Simpsons, Sideshow Bob is convicted of voter fraud for fixing the mayoral election - and is sentenced to Springwood Minimum Security Prison and joins the prison rowing team to race against Princeton.
Real Life
- Arguably the original white collar scandal, the South Sea Bubble of 1720 (in which the South Sea Company inflated their stock prices through various fraudulent means to create a speculative bubble of mind-boggling magnitude) led to the passing of some of the first laws against investment fraud.
- The Enron scandal raised a lot of awareness about accounting fraud.
- Martha Stewart was found guilty of lying about receiving a legal stock tip, but the founder of the company selling the stock was itself guilty of insider trading. Stewart sold because she saw the founder selling.
- Insider trading itself is a complicated (yet oddly simple) crime: if you trade on a stock knowing what the stock is going to do, then you're guilty* . The thing that makes it complicated, however, is that proving prior knowledge is difficult at best; without written records or witness testimony, it is almost impossible, in fact. The Securities and Exchange Commission will prosecute to the full extent of the law, though.
- Subversion: Al Capone went to Alcatraz for tax evasion officially. Being a well known Chicago mobster helped get him a less cushy sentence.
- There was no solid evidence that he was guilty of anything other than tax evasion, so that was what they charged him with and convicted him of. Also, his cushy time only lasted until he was transferred to Alcatraz, where he spent most of his sentence. He got the same treatment as everybody else while there, and the only reason they released him early was due to rapidly declining health brought on by syphilis.
- This was kind of a Catch-22 for Capone. There's a line on the tax form for "other" income. The problem is that wages, salaries, tips, interest income, capital gains, self-employment, and most other legal sources of income are accounted for already. So including a large amount on the "other" line opens you up for some rather pointed questions, and not including it is tax evasion.
- As pointed out elsewhere on this various wiki, the US Tax forms have a box specifically for money that was gained through illegal ventures and specifically for this reason. All it says is that some of your money is dirty and this is how much and what the government should get from it. As long as the IRS doesn't ask about the nature of the crime, it's not self incrimination.
- Bernie Madoff ran a decades-long Ponzi scheme that defrauded 4,800 people and organizations (including charities and hospitals) of nearly $65 Billion. At least three suicides have been attributed to his crime, including his son's.
- Some scandals, particularly the Norbourg affair, in Quebec have led to the expression "criminels à cravate" ("tie-wearing criminals").
- The famed computer hacker Kevin Mitnick, in his autobiography Ghost in the Wires, describes the surreal feeling of being the only white-collar criminal in a juvenile hall full of murderers and rapists after one of his earliest arrests.
- The spectacular collapse of Barings Bank, the world's second oldest merchant bank (est'd 1762) was caused by the machinations of a single employee, who, in an attempt to cover for a bad investment, ended up going on an increasingly disastrous spree of high-risk speculative gambles that dug the company into a $1.3 billion hole (and no one noticed because the man was essentially appointed to be his own auditor via an administrative oversight).
- The infamous Bank of Commerce and Credit International (lightly fictionalized in the film The International) was known to regularly dip into more blue collar crimes (like kidnapping, extortion, and a few cases of murder that was never formally connected to them) when their cadre of regular white collar fraudsters were not up to task.

Yes, you read it accurately...no diets!
The most basic tactical manoeuvre in this weight headship program is to form a group all of your old fad diets, quick weight loss remedies, and "magic cures". Once you have them all unneurotic in a nice, well turned-out pile- lob them into the trash! One point we have academic in the finishing 20-30 old age is diets don't tough grind and in reality can make material possession worsened. Fad diets may allot stout term weight loss but they are commonly too tricky to pointer with for a lifespan. The figure of inhabitants who misplace weight on fad diets get that weight inside 3 to 5 eld. Over case this toy fast result can negligent your metabolism, the way our bodies destroy the calories from the matter that we eat. Most fad diets necessitate you to substantially confine your caloric bodily process by restrictive or even eliminating unique foods from your fare. They head you to imagine that it is these specific foods that are exploit you to addition weight. The information is; a cookie or a shaving of French breadstuff is not trustworthy for weight gain. It is the pure cipher of calories that you chomp in a day compared to the amount of calories you use as gusto. The calories you don't use as strength bend into hold on fat and complete juncture this translates into more than article weight.
Yes, its faithful intense unneeded carbohydrates can outcome in enormous insulin spikes and inflict you to pool fat more promptly and bear on your appetite. However, does this miserable that everyone in America is consumption too frequent carbohydrates? Not necessarily. Does this parsimonious we want to completely do away with all carbohydrates from our diet? Absolutely not. It money we want to swot up how to eat the authorization gracious of carbohydrates and the correct magnitude.
It's as well real that uptake remainder fat can sort us addition weight because fat carries more than calories than protein and carbohydrates, but does this be determined that everyone's content is too noticeably fat? Once again, no. Therefore, we essential stance weight direction on an individual cause because not all and sundry is ingestion too frequent calories from baked goods. Just the same, not each person is consuming too some calories from cookies. We are all individuals and our drinking traditions are all one and only which is why the one volume fits all fare campaign don't effort. The authoritative key to happening is balance.
Balance is providing the becoming magnitude of calories, nutrients, and (don't forget) delight from our meals. In a symmetrical diet, in that are no unblemished days, no foods are omitted, and you don't have to starve yourself. It may merely be that you've been intake too many a amylaceous foods and too smaller fat. This may have aroused your appetite and caused you to consume much than your natural object necessarily. Or frailty versa, it may be that you are overwhelming too many a fats and too smallish fruits and vegetables which can bring you to have a dignified work unit flat with a quite gnomish activity of matter. Perhaps you've been uptake the accurate symmetry but near too broad of component sizes. These are the kinds of property that pitch us off be a foil for and bring us to put away more calories than we utilize for get-up-and-go.
Let's proceeds an example
Unbalanced Day
Breakfast: skip (too occupied)
Large latte
Snack: chips from hawking machine
Lunch: (restaurant) beefburger and monolithic French fries
Dinner: 8 oz steak and 2 cups mashed potatoes
Dessert: wide-ranging bowl of ice-cream (1-2 cups)
Meal Makeover
Breakfast: bowl of porridge near blueberries, 1 cup low fat milk
Snack: apple, 1 oz peanuts
Lunch: (restaurant) turkey snack food on in one piece corpuscle staff of life with a vessel vegetable soup
Dinner: 3 oz cut (size of a deck of card game), 1 cup mashed potatoes, and a epic dish w/1 TB french dressing dressing
Dessert: smaller vessel of frostbitten yoghourt or sherbet (1/2- 1 cup)
The original meals were large in high fat foods, extended in plateful sizes, (beef, French fries, chips, and ice-cream) and low in fibre. The equilibrium was off. By making these changes we rescued almost 800 calories patch motionless enjoying steak, mashed potatoes, and dessert! Not to approach you get to eat much once you learn more works based foods since they are much degrade in calories. We as well developed the alimentary satisfied by calculation more than material/vitamins/minerals/and antioxidants next to raised fruits, vegetables, and full-page grains.
So, restrict fad diets and creation reconciliation your meals for long weight loss. You have zero to be unable to find but long-term results, improved heartiness and in good health health!

Current Status of Research in Teaching and Learning Evolution: I. Philosophical/Epistemological Issues
- First Online:
- Citations
- 860 Downloads
Scholarship that addresses teaching and learning about evolution has rapidly increased in recent years. This review of that scholarship first addresses the philosophical/epistemological issues that impinge on teaching and learning about evolution, including the proper philosophical goals of evolution instruction; the correlational and possibly causal relationships among knowing, understanding, accepting, and believing; and the factors that affect student understanding, acceptance, and/or belief. Second, I summarize the specific epistemological issues involved, including empiricism, naturalism, philosophical vs methodological materialism, science vs religion as non-overlapping magisteria, and science as a way of knowing. Third, the paper critically reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the research tools available to measure the nature of science, epistemological beliefs, and especially the acceptance of evolution. Based on these findings, further research in these areas, especially study of the factors that cause lack of explanatory coherence as well as replications of studies that promise to explain current confusing findings about the interrelationships among student understanding, acceptance, and belief in evolution, are called for. In addition, this review calls for more longitudinal studies to delineate causal connections as well as improved measurement tools.

This comfy sweater poncho has gotten its fair share of wear from me this season! I know a few of you have it as well, so I'd love to hear how you've been styling it. I usually do my basic striped tee underneath, but have been liking chambray too with the sleeves exposed and cuffed. My only complaint is I can't wear anything over this other than my cape coat (not pictured) due to the connected sleeves...but that's a poncho for ya, I guess!
Just a quick post today on this short but hectic week. We're excited to relax a bit tomorrow at a "post-holiday" holiday party (really the best kind of holiday party). Hope you all have a great weekend, and DC-area friends, hope you're getting ready to hunker down with lots of wine stocked up!

Wants to establish a solid basis trust for your business relationship.
Is expecting you do the same.
In long term she or he hopes to become a close colleague.
All of these answers.
If you start to shake hands with a group of people in Poland:
It is enough to shake a few hands symbolically.
You should shake everybody's hand.
Shake hands only with the senior people.
Poles can be superstitious and may see some behaviors as bringing bad luck. Which of these you should avoid as it is see to bring misfortune?
Shaking hands in the doorway.
Kissing the hand of an unmarried woman.
Wearing a black tie or a black dress at a wedding party.
Taking care of a private matter during the work time as well as talking on the phone during meetings will offend your Polish colleagues.
While on assignment in Poland, you are invited to a client's home for dinner. You should bring the hostess:
A dozen red roses.
A mixed bouquet containing an uneven number of flowers.
A bouquet of lilies.

Malomir is one of the largest gold mines in Russia, in terms of its mineral resources.
Malomir was acquired by the Group as a greenfield site and developed into a producing mine. Once commissioned, the POX Hub will substantially increase production from the mine, making it a major contributor to group totals.
As at 31 December 2015, Malomir's Mineral Resources stood at 7.0Moz, of which 2.7Moz were Ore Reserves, and Malomir had produced c.485koz of gold since commissioning in mid 2010.
Most of Malomir's resources and reserves are refractory, requiring flotation and pressure oxidation for efficient gold recovery. In 2013, following the gold price decline and changes in market conditions, development of Malomir's flotation plant and Pokrovskiy's POX Hub was slowed down. The Group has resumed this development.
In mid 2015, our geological department started exploration at the deep horizons of Quartzitovoye, where high grade free milling ores potentially suitable for underground mining were identified.
Key Facts
Deposit type: Hard rock with both non refractory and refractory ore (mostly refractory).
Mining: Currently open pit. Underground mining project under development.
Processing: RIP plant on site. Currently only non refractory ore is being processed.
Development history: Acquired in 2003 as a greenfield project. Today one of the largest gold mines in Russia in terms of mineral resources.
Reserves and resources: 2.7Moz of Ore Reserves and 7.0Moz Mineral Resources.

Not sure what derailed it. > Kathey asked if I would be willing to write something up and I started thinking about it but haven't had the bandwidth to write anything. As a quick braindump: * there are rules that restrict changes to the interface going forward * Sun (et al) stick to those rules even when it is painful * no class/method is removed without being deprecated first * the JVM supports version skew a little by not requiring an implementation to implement all methods in a interface (at runtime) * the interfaces often provide a mechanism to determine what features of an API the implementation implements * frameworks can utilize multiple classloaders to load multiple versions of a class into the VM - tools have developed to simplify this I think we can support a scenario where: * a comsumer expecting version X.Y will work with any implementation X.Y' when Y' >= Y * a consumer expecting X.Y will work with X.Y' when Y' < Y by version detection and degraded functionality (Y' level). If Y level function is required then it will gracefully die (able to detect rather than AbstractMethodError) * X.Y defines the interface version, i.e. X.Y.Z works with X.Y.Z' for all Z' * X defines the compatibility level i.e. X and X' are not guaranteed to work together (although we will try to ensure they do) Basic rules: * at the Z level, no API change is allowed, just implementation changes * at the Y level, additive API changes are allowed but must be accompanied by support in the versioning mechanism so that they can be detected. Things can be deprecated * at the Z level, incompatible changes are allowed. Items deprecated in version X can be removed in version X+2 (implicitly (X+2).0.0). This all applies to operation in a single classloader. Where multiple classloaders are involved (inside one VM or in multiple VMs) a different set of versioning behaviours applies to the wire protocol. -- Jeremy

Did you know that in September alone, 25 fixed price energy deals ended? Our boffins have got their calculators out and found that people in the UK could lose £60 million in the next year if they don't switch suppliers.
If you're on a fixed energy deal that comes to an end, you'll be placed on a standard tariff which could cost you on average an extra £120 a year. A further 25 deals are due to end in October and November.
So now's the time to have a look for a better deal. It's really easy if you use our app Snapt, which is free from the App Store and Google Play. Just scan the QR code on your bill and it will show you straight away what you can save.
Visit http://www.comparethemarket.com/energy/how-to-use-snapt/.
Our Bill Shock Barometer research earlier this year showed that nearly a third (30%) of consumers are shocked when they open their energy bill. Make sure you don't get a nasty surprise this winter – check when your energy deal is due to end.

Description: Edwin Thompson Denig, for more than twenty years a fur trader on the Upper Missouri and married to an Assiniboine woman, was an acute and objective observer of Indian manners and customs. He assisted Audubon and the Culbertsons in collecting Missouri River fauna, supplied information on the Indians to Father De Smet, who encouraged him to write, and provided Henry Schoolcraft with an Assiniboine vocabulary as well as a detailed "Report on the Indian Tribes of the Upper Missouri," which was not published until 1930, seventy-six years after it was written, and then only in parts. Denig's writings on the Sioux, Arickaras, Assiniboines, Crees, and Crows, comprising the Denig manuscript in the Missouri Historical Society, are published together for the first time in this book. The manuscript long had been referred to as the "Culbertson Manuscript" because it had been purchased from a descendant of the fur-trader naturalist Alexander Culbertson. But in 1949, handwriting experts identified it as the work of Denig.

Cary Yoga and Kickboxing challenges both body and mind. During high-intensity kickboxing sessions, groups of students jab, hook, and roundhouse kick their way to a healthier existence. A combination of martial arts, boxing, and other fighting forms, kickboxing classes aim to build strength and increase self-awareness, as well. Meanwhile, the facility divides its yoga offerings into two different programs: power Vinyasa and sweat and detox. The latter program revolves around poses that improve the body's circulatory and lymphatic systems, helping to expel toxins.
