What happens when innocence is confronted by monstrous evil?
Nine-year-old Bruno knows nothing of the Final Solution and the Holocaust. He is oblivious to the appalling cruelties being inflicted on the people of Europe by his country. All he knows is that he has been moved from a comfortable home in Berlin to a house in a desolate area where there is nothing to do and no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence and who, like the other people there, wears a uniform of striped pyjamas.
Bruno's friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation. And in exploring what he is unwittingly a part of, he will inevitably become subsumed by the terrible process.
©2016 John Boyce (P)2016 Random House AudioBooks
"A wonderful perspective"
It is a wonderful book from a 9 year old German boy who seems oblivious to what is happening and questions some the the happenings that time in a very innocent perspective. It is true that not everyone knew especially kids at that time what was going on and it is a great start to knowing more about world war 2 and read more serious books later on about the subject. The narration is excellent and overall an amazing experience. Love it.
"One of the best books I have ever read."
Yes. Loved the reader and characters.
Buddha in the attic and Farm and War Horse.
Yes but I don't have the time.
"The most moving book I have ever read."
This is a truly stunning, heart breaking, moving and thought provoking story that I am so grateful to have had the experience of reading!
Oh God this is devastating. I'm not usually a fan of child narrators but it's perfect here for conveying such as horrific situation through the perspective of innocence. Do NOT listen to the last 3 chapters while driving.
"Fantastic short story"
As it is written in the eyes of the little boy Bruno, it gives the reader a unique perspective on the holocaust. An interesting yet thought-provoking read!
"Childhood lost when adulthood reigns"
I've seen the movie which motivated me to listen to the book. There are parts of this story which wasn't apparent in the film and in that sense, I'm glad I have listened to this.
The story is just as compelling and shockingly simple yet tells a lot from the perspective of a young boy. Adult behaviour translated in child perception. It's brilliantly narrated and the story enfolds to its shocking climax; which as a child or someone who does not know the history, may not discover.
I also liked the writer interview at the end.
"moving story that everyone should read and discuss"
This is one of those stories that i hope we never need to write again or need to discuss. However, i suspect it is a lesson that future generations will also need to relearn. I highly recommend that everyone reads it and takes time to discuss it with those around us a that no one else suffers in this way.
"Couldn't stop listen to it!!! "
very easy to follow and captivating. lovely story for different generations. strongly recommended it !
"Touching emotive story."
A brilliantly told story that would be enjoyed by children and adults alike like. Highly recommended to all.
"Excellent story & enlightening interview with author"
This book can be enjoyed by both adults and children alike. It acts a good starting point for children learning about the war and the unchecked capabilities of humanity. For adults it humanises and individualises what is often talked about as an event involving groups of people who's individual perspectives are not discussed. The book is very short, but loses nothing in magnitude!
this is a brilliantly written book. children's perspective of things are usually overlooked and this book takes you back to a time when 9 year olds were innocent and not worldly wise as they seem to be today. thoroughly recommend this book

We own our operations and run them directly in Canada and the United States, and then we operate through a distributor network that we've had in place since 1959. So 1959, we took the one-year old Hush Puppies brand international that's given us 30, 40, 50-year base of partnership and relationships around the world for our brand.Our vision hasn't changed in many years fundamentally. We're focused on innovation as a company, it can be on the apparel side, it can be on the footwear side, it can be on the supply chain side, it can be on processes. But we are focused innovation, moving beyond just footwear and then expanding our international base of business. This graph which I think on slide three or four shows our brand activity over the last 15 years or so. So the top part of this graph shows the brands we've acquired over that period of times, starting with Caterpillar and Merrell and Harley-Davidson and HyTest early on, and most recently with Saucony, Sperry, Stride Rite and Keds. I'll talk a little bit more about the PLG acquisition in a moment. Over that same spend of years we've moved just beyond the United States and operate directly in Canada. Took over our distributor operations in Europe and recently earlier this year announced some joint ventures. One in India with the Tata Group and then one in Colombia with the long time multi decade partner of the company. Today we operate within three different branded groups. The first group is the Outdoor Group. This is our largest group in terms of revenue and earnings generated for the corporation. The Merrell Brand, a brand we bought about 11, 12, 13 years ago now, was about $25 million when we bought it, it's about $500 million in sales today in about 150 countries around the world, but also within this group Patagonia footwear and Chaco. Chaco was a performance sandal brand we picked up a couple of years ago. Number one performance in sandal brand and the outdoor retail sector in the United States.

Defendant Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services (defendant) appeals from an order denying its petition to compel arbitration of the wrongful termination claims of its former employee, plaintiff Perry Sparks (plaintiff). Defendant relies upon an arbitration clause in its 2006 employee handbook (Handbook), which plaintiff acknowledged he received. We hold that plaintiff is not bound by the arbitration clause because that clause was included within a lengthy employee handbook; the arbitration clause was not called to the attention of plaintiff, and he did not specifically acknowledge or agree to arbitration; the Handbook stated that it was not intended to create a contract; the Handbook provided that it could be amended unilaterally by defendant and thus rendered any agreement illusory; the specific rules referred to in the arbitration clause were not provided to plaintiff; and the arbitration clause is unconscionable.
A. The Complaint
Plaintiff filed a wrongful termination complaint against defendant, his former employer. Plaintiff alleged he was initially hired as a temporary employee in January 2007, he was permanently hired in April 2007 as a controller, and he was terminated for pretextual reasons in 2010. According to plaintiff, he was terminated after he complained of various employee practices that he asserted violated federal and state reporting and compensation laws. Plaintiff sought damages for termination in violation of fundamental public policy; unfair business practices — Business and Professions Code section 17200; violation of Labor Code section 1102.5, subdivision (a); and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Defendant filed a petition to compel arbitration and stay the action, and moved for a hearing. In the unverified petition to compel arbitration, defendant alleged that plaintiff and all of defendant's employees were subject to a mutual dispute resolution policy that required binding arbitration of employment disputes. Defendant further alleged that it demanded arbitration of the claims asserted in the complaint and that plaintiff refused to respond or submit to arbitration. According to defendant, the arbitration policy was "prominently" located in the Handbook that was distributed to all employees. Defendant stated, "Plaintiff acknowledged receipt and review of the Handbook, and expressly agreed to abide by its terms by signing the `Acknowledgment of Receipt of Employee Handbook' ... on April 24, 2007."
Paragraphs KK and LL on pages 35 and 36 of the Handbook contain the following clauses, which are in the same type and size as all other provisions in the Handbook:
"All disputes regarding your employment with [defendant], or the termination of your employment, will be subject to final and binding arbitration pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be held under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. [¶] This policy requires that arbitration shall be the exclusive forum for resolving all disputes between you and [defendant] or any of its employees or managers arising out of claims for wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation or harassment in violation of state or federal law, alleged violation of state or federal family and medical leave laws and any other laws pertaining to employment, and for unpaid wages under state or federal law. All such claims, as well as any other claims that arise out of your employment relationship with [defendant], shall be resolved by an arbitrator and not
"This Employee Handbook may be amended, revised and/or modified by [defendant] at any time without notice. If you have any questions about this, please contact the Human Resources Department."
Page i of the Handbook provided as follows: "This handbook is provided for the use of the Employees as a general summary of the agency's personnel policies, work rules and benefits. The handbook is designed to acquaint you with the information as quickly as possible by highlighting agency policies, practices and benefits for your personal education. The handbook cannot anticipate every situation or answer every question. Therefore, you will find variations in working conditions and benefits, depending upon the division, category and Employee unit to which you belong. Your more detailed questions should be referred to your supervisor and/or the Human Resources Department. This Handbook is not intended to create a contract of employment and does not in any way alter the at-will employment relationship between [defendant] and its Employees."
The document signed by plaintiff is entitled, "Acknowledgment of Receipt of Employee Handbook." The acknowledgement states that the Handbook "contains important information about [defendant's] general personnel policies and on [his] privileges and obligations as an Employee." It provides, "I understand that I am governed by the contents of the Handbook and that [defendant] may change, rescind or add to any policies, benefits or practices described in the Handbook from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without prior notice."
Plaintiff in his declaration opposing the petition to compel arbitration stated that he was not made aware of the arbitration clause by defendant and was not aware of it. He also stated that during his employment he received a new handbook, of which he never acknowledged receipt in writing, and an accompanying letter from defendant's human resources director. That letter stated, "Here is your Master Copy of the 2009 Employee Handbook. This copy is to be placed in a location where all key Employee reference information is maintained. New employees will receive personal copies as
In this new handbook, there is an arbitration provision virtually identical to the one in the 2006 Handbook, except it adds the following significant language: "Employees will be required to sign for receipt of the handbook acknowledging inclusion of the arbitration policy stated in the handbook. Also, Employees will be required to sign a full arbitration agreement that is signed by both the Employee and the Human Resources Director or designee."
B. Ruling on Petition
At the hearing on the petition to compel arbitration, the trial court heard argument and concluded there was no agreement to arbitrate, explaining that the mere acknowledgement of receipt of the Handbook was insufficient to create an enforceable arbitration agreement. The trial court therefore denied the petition.
A. Arbitration Principles and Standard of Review
"Where the existence of a contract is at issue and the evidence is conflicting or admits of more than one inference, it is for the trier of fact to determine whether the contract actually existed. But if the material facts are certain or undisputed, the existence of a contract is a question for the court to decide. [Citation.]" (Bustamante v. Intuit, Inc. (2006) 141 Cal.App.4th 199, 208 [45 Cal.Rptr.3d 692].) Here, the facts concerning the enforceability of the Handbook are not in dispute. Any dispute about whether plaintiff was or should have been aware of the clause is not, in this case, dispositive on the issue of the enforceability of the arbitration clause. Thus, as the issue here is a legal one, we decide the matter de novo. (Ghirardo v. Antonioli (1994) 8 Cal.4th 791, 799 [35 Cal.Rptr.2d 418, 883 P.2d 960].)
B. Failure to File a Response
C. Handbook's Arbitration Clause Not Enforceable
The Handbook, which was "distributed" to all employees, included an arbitration provision in one of many clauses not prominently distinguished from the other clauses. The provision is not specifically highlighted and there is no place for the employee to acknowledge it in writing. Interestingly, defendant corrected this deficiency in the later handbook, which plaintiff did not acknowledge in writing receiving, by providing that an employee had to sign an arbitration provision.
A relevant case in California is Mitri v. Arnel Management Co. (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 1164 [69 Cal.Rptr.3d 223] (Mitri), which, as here, involved an employee handbook stating that "`[a]ny dispute arising out of employment with the Company, as allowed by law, will be settled by binding arbitration.'" (Id. at p. 1167.) The court held that the employer did not establish the
The language in the Handbook here, like the language at issue in Mitri, supra, 157 Cal.App.4th 1164, suggests that the Handbook, which was "distributed" to all employees, was informational rather than contractual. Thus, because defendant failed to point out or call attention to the arbitration requirement in the acknowledgment, plaintiff should not be bound to arbitrate.
Cases in other jurisdictions support this conclusion. For example, in Nelson v. Cyprus Bagdad Copper Corp. (9th Cir. 1997) 119 F.3d 756 (Nelson), the Ninth Circuit held that the arbitration provisions in an employee handbook did not constitute a waiver of the plaintiff's right to have his claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), 42 United States Code sections 12101 to 12213, and the Arizona Civil Rights Act, Arizona Revised Statutes section 41-1463 determined in court. The court said, "The undisputed facts in the record before us demonstrate that [the employee] did not enter into a `knowing agreement' to arbitrate his claims under the ADA. First, we conclude that the acknowledgment form signed by [the employee] does not suffice as a valid waiver under [Prudential Ins. Co. of America v.] Lai [(9th Cir. 1994) 42 F.3d 1299]. When [the employee] was given a copy of the revised employee Handbook, he signed an acknowledgment of receipt.
Following Nelson, supra, 119 F.3d 756, the Ninth Circuit in Kummetz v. Tech Mold, Inc. (9th Cir. 1998) 152 F.3d 1153 also held that an arbitration clause in an employee handbook did not compel a former employee to arbitrate rather than litigate his claims in court. The court stressed that, as here, the acknowledgment form signed by the employee did not refer to the arbitration provision in the handbook. (Id. at p. 1155.)
Similarly, the Supreme Court of Hawaii held that the requirement for a binding arbitration agreement — an employee's unambiguous intent to submit to arbitration — "ha[d] not been satisfied" by an acknowledgment of receipt of an employer's handbook containing an arbitration clause. (Douglass v. Pflueger Hawaii, Inc. (2006) 110 Haw. 520 [135 P.3d 129, 143].) In that case, the court stressed that the acknowledgment contained no reference to the arbitration clause. Moreover, also as here, the court emphasized as follows: "[T]he arbitration provision at issue here is not `boxed off' or otherwise set apart from the other provisions in the Handbook or on the acknowledgment form. In fact, the arbitration provision, like all the other provisions in the Employee Handbook, is (1) introduced by its own bold faced heading and (2) in the same font size as the rest of the Handbook. Moreover, the agreement, unlike the agreement in Brown [v. KFC National Management Co. (1996) 82 Haw. 226 [921 P.2d 146]] that was set off and on the same page as the signature line, is located on page 20 of the sixty-page Handbook, and [the employee's] signature is not found until forty pages later on the acknowledgment page, which, as previously pointed out, makes no mention of the arbitration provision. [¶] `Only if [the employer] had specifically called [the
The arbitration clause is also substantively unconscionable in that it requires the employee to relinquish his or her administrative and judicial rights under federal and state statutes (cf. Ajamian v. CantorCO2e, L.P., supra, 203 Cal.App.4th at pp. 798-799) and it makes no express provision for discovery rights (Armendariz v. Foundation Health Psychcare Services, Inc., supra, 24 Cal.4th at p. 104). As the American Arbitration Association rules specified by the clause were not provided to plaintiff, and according to defendant those rules gave the arbitrator the discretion to deny any discovery, the provision for discovery is insufficient. Accordingly, the clause is unenforceable as unconscionable.
For all of the foregoing reasons, the trial court correctly denied the petition to compel arbitration.
The trial court's order is affirmed. Plaintiff is entitled to costs on appeal.
Armstrong, J., concurred.
I respectfully dissent from the determination to affirm the order denying the petition to compel arbitration.
First, California contract law provides when an employee signs an acknowledgment of receipt of an employee handbook, she or he is bound by its contents including an agreement to arbitrate. (24 Hour Fitness, Inc. v. Superior Court (1998) 66 Cal.App.4th 1199, 1215 [78 Cal.Rptr.2d 533] [acknowledgement referred to arbitration provision in employee handbook]; Boys Club of San Fernando Valley, Inc. v. Fidelity & Deposit Co. (1992) 6 Cal.App.4th 1266, 1271-1272 [8 Cal.Rptr.2d 587] [party bound by incorporation of a contract into a performance bond]; Ware v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. (1972) 24 Cal.App.3d 35, 41 [100 Cal.Rptr. 791] [broker's signature on application that referred not to arbitration but to exchange rules which contained an agreement to arbitrate disputes]; Gear v. Webster (1968) 258 Cal.App.2d 57, 61 [65 Cal.Rptr. 255] [Realtor who agreed to abide by association bylaws bound by arbitration agreement contained therein]; see Adajar v. RWR Homes, Inc. (2008) 160 Cal.App.4th 563, 569 [73 Cal.Rptr.3d 17]; Knight et al., Cal. Practice Guide: Alternative Dispute Resolution (The Rutter Group 2011) ¶ 5:18, p. 5-12 (rev. # 1, 2010).) Here, the undisputed evidence demonstrates plaintiff's written acknowledgement signed by him states he agreed to be bound by the employee handbook. The employee handbook has a clearly stated arbitration provision. It is expressly listed in the 2006 employee handbook table of contents. Entitled "DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY," it plainly sets forth both parties' obligation to arbitrate all employment disputes. No doubt, other jurisdictions may have other views of the effect of an express agreement to be bound by the terms of an employment handbook. But those views are inconsistent with this state's law until now.
The fact plaintiff chose not to read the 2006 handbook is not controlling. Plaintiff acknowledged in writing he received the employee handbook, which set forth his obligations as an employee. Plaintiff agreed in writing he was governed by the handbook's contents. He further agreed to read the employee handbook and understand and adhere to its policies. This was sufficient to comply with the written agreement to arbitrate requirement imposed by the Federal and California Arbitration Acts. (9 U.S.C. § 2; Code Civ. Proc., § 1281; Valero Refining, Inc. v. M/T Lauberhorn (5th Cir. 1987) 813 F.2d 60, 63-64; Banner Entertainment, Inc. v. Superior Court (1998) 62 Cal.App.4th 348,
Second, I am unpersuaded by plaintiff's argument that the arbitration provisions are somehow hard to find or understand. They look clear to me. And plaintiff was hired to act as defendant's controller. The complaint alleges he gave sophisticated tax and labor law advice to defendant's senior officials and his warnings were rebuffed. The arbitration provisions are apparent, obvious and lucid. The acknowledgement expressly refers to the handbook, which contains the arbitration provisions.
Third, I am unpersuaded by plaintiff's reliance on cases where the arbitration agreement requires it be executed. Three cases involve that scenario. In each of these cases, the employee handbook contained an arbitration provision. Each of the three arbitration provisions required the employees to sign the agreement to arbitrate. And in none of these cases had the employee signed the separate agreements to arbitrate. (Ajamian v. CantorCO2e, L.P. (2012) 203 Cal.App.4th 771, 776, 805-806 [137 Cal.Rptr.3d 773]; Mitri v. Arnel Management Co. (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 1164, 1169-1173 [69 Cal.Rptr.3d 223]; Romo v. Y-3 Holdings, Inc. (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 1153, 1159-1160 [105 Cal.Rptr.2d 208].) Here, there was no specified duty in the employee handbook to execute a distinct arbitration agreement. And the trial court expressly relied on Mitri and Romo; neither of which are controlling.
Fourth, there is no merit to plaintiff's argument the 2006 employee handbook's statement that it does not create a contract of employment permitted the arbitration petition to be denied. The language relied upon by plaintiff, which appears under the heading "TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT," states: "Employment is at will and may be terminated by the Employer or the Employee with or without notice or reason. An Employee terminated without notice for a reason other than dishonesty, insubordination or malfeasance, as determined at the sole discretion of the Employer, will receive two weeks transition pay. Nothing contained in this handbook is intended to create a contract of employment or alter the at-will nature of the employment relationship in any way." This paragraph addresses the issue of an implied contract not to terminate but for good cause. (Dore v. Arnold
Fifth, plaintiff's argument that all preemployment arbitration agreements are unconscionable and therefore may not be enforced is not a ground for affirming the judgment. Such a rule is preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act. (9 U.S.C. § 2; Marmet Health Care Center v. Brown (2012) 565 U.S. ___, ___ [182 L.Ed.2d 42, 132 S.Ct. 1201, 1203]; AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion (2011) 563 U.S. ___, ___ [179 L.Ed.2d 742, 131 S.Ct. 1740, 1750].)
Sixth, the agreement is not unconscionable because of any problem relating to discovery. Plaintiff argues the American Arbitration Association rules do not permit for the sufficient use of discovery devices. Implied in an employer-employee arbitration agreement is the opportunity to utilize discovery devices in a case which potentially may involve emotional distress damages. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1283.1; Little v. Auto Stiegler, Inc. (2003) 29 Cal.4th 1064, 1076-1081 [130 Cal.Rptr.2d 892, 63 P.3d 979]; Armendariz v. Foundation Health Psychcare Services, Inc. (2000) 24 Cal.4th 83, 105-106 [99 Cal.Rptr.2d 745, 6 P.3d 669].) Here, there is a cause of action for intentional severe emotional distress infliction. Implied within the arbitration agreement is the right to adequate discovery.
Seventh, I agree though with plaintiff as to any of his claims covered by the 2009 handbook. There is no evidence plaintiff was ever advised of the contents of the 2009 handbook, which supplanted the earlier arbitration agreement. There is no signed acknowledgement of the 2009 handbook as was the case earlier. Thus, his claims incurred subsequent to the promulgation of the 2009 handbook are not subject to its arbitration provisions. (Metters v. Ralphs Grocery Co. (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 696, 703-704 [74 Cal.Rptr.3d 210].) As a result, I would reverse the trial court's findings as to all the

You Can Still Count On Le Bistro For Innovative, Old World Charm
By Rebecca Cook
IN THE BUSTLING dining metropolis Tucson's become in recent years, attention tends to focus on whatever new restaurant opens its doors for business.
Naturally, we're interested in the latest bistro to hit the local scene. Occasionally, though, it's a fine thing to check out a place that's been around for years, to see how it's weathered the test of time.
I remembered Le Bistro fondly, as a restaurant that consistently served innovative yet solid French cuisine along with decadent desserts that were just the thing for elegant, after-theater nibbling.
The interior, at least, remains pretty much unchanged. The bright light and garden sunroom ambiance are as delightful as ever. The only noticeable difference from previous visits is that the dense foliage along the side booths of the dining room has grown substantially, making the al fresco surroundings either more lush or more oppressive, depending on your point of view.
Although Le Bistro has a regular menu from which to order, the board of daily specials is the way to go. These are invariably so tempting that only the stalwart go on to the core text before making a selection.
A generous lunch special of pasta salad made with sun-dried tomato fettuccine, artichoke hearts, capers, carrots and tender, thinly sliced cured salmon was cool and refreshing, delicately enhanced by a light coating of tarragon vinaigrette. For those who've abandoned the ubiquitous pasta salad for becoming boring or predictable, this one may win you over with its flavorful originality. Accompanied by a basket of warm, yeasty French bread (absolutely divine with a thin veneer of butter), this was a lunch fit for royalty.
A warm angel hair pasta tossed with fresh bay scallops proved equally delicious. This entree's petite serving suited the richness of the scallops and the creamy, pungent goat cheese. Fresh green chilies contributed a pleasing, tangy contrast to these large, tender fruits de mer and the assertive character of the goat cheese.
Dessert is a matter of principle here. A prominent, cylindrical pastry case, filled top to bottom with all manner of confectionery indulgence, grabs your attention the minute you walk through Le Bistro's doors. If you didn't arrive with the intention of ordering dessert first, you might find your judgment swayed by this hypnotic, rotating display as you wait to be seated.
Le Bistro's tuxedo cake, made with a combination of white and dark chocolate, has moved into the realm of legend over the years. The dense, fudgy cake is pure heaven for chocolate connoisseurs. Along with a steaming cup of coffee, this treat will provide enough stimulation to keep you going for several hours. A mocha amaretto torte is less successful--a cloying sweetness eclipses the pastry's signature flavor.
Dimmed lights and an air of elegance accentuate the dinner experience at Le Bistro. Appropriately, the staff is more formal and the pace more relaxed, affording diners the luxury of settling in for an evening of pampered pleasure.
In a homey departure from haute cuisine, an appetizer of rolled tortilla with a piquant salsa-infused cream cheese is set before us as we contemplate the menu. Chef Laurent Reuxs' genius in crafting both the extensive regular menu and the nightly specials makes ordering difficult.
Finally, we settle on a pepper filet from the standard menu, and a horseradish-crusted halibut. Both dishes were superb: the tender beef filet cooked to medium-rare perfection, and subtly laced with a nip of black pepper, with a green peppercorn sauce drizzled over the whole. A sautéed vegetable melange of squash and peppers, and a lovely rendering of scalloped potatoes, beautifully complement both entrées.
Dessert this evening focused on a custard fruit tart and the Concorde, a miraculous concoction of chocolate mousse studded with fingers of chocolate meringue. The tart was satisfactory, but the Concorde's divine. Le Bistro definitely knows how to do chocolate.
Conclusion: Le Bistro continues to offer the same wonderful food and enjoyable ambiance we've come to expect. What a relief to find that in the midst of change, some of the finer things stay the same.
Le Bistro. 2574 N. Campbell Ave. 327-3086. Open 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with dinner served daily beginning at 5 p.m. Full bar. V, MC, AMEX, DR, checks. Lunch items: $2.25-$10.95; dinner $3.50-$17.95.

My tastes in music are vast and varied. My aim as a producer and mixer is always to get the best sounding results for your creative vision. There is nothing I enjoy doing more than sitting down at my mix desk and digging deep into a session. I see mixing sessions as similar to working on a puzzle - we have a "picture" in mind, and the goal is to find the best representation of that image.
I am always interested in collaborating with artists, either on arrangements, songwriting, or general sounds & textures, should your project call for it.

Reviews of Solaris Sound / Matt Lederman
MRCH went with Matt for our single "Spin" and it's the best sounding piece of music we've ever put out. We were instantly pleased with Matt's talent and he was very patient with us during revisions. The song has now been featured in a Ford/Pitchfork web series, The Guardian and several other
outlets with all of them praising on production quality!
The first time I worked with Matt he mixed my bands debut EP. After hearing the results, we decided to work with him on our full length album. He's an outstanding engineer and producer that will help your project reach its full potential.
Matt engineered and mixed the Statue Park album "The Cities We Planned, The Cities We Made" for us in 2013. It remains the best-sounding chunk of music I have ever put to tape, an impressive piece of sound-work. A great talent. I would not ever hesitate to ask Matt to engineer or mix for me again, and in fact, I just did.
My experience working with Matt on various projects has been very rewarding. He's mastered the technology, but even more importantly has a very natural musical ear. Matt's easy to work with and does what's right for the project, not his ego.
I have worked with Matt on three different albums. I've been more than satisfied each time. He is the hardest-working engineer / mixer / producer I know - totally dedicated to his craft. And very talented too.
Matt is an excellent mixer/producer. He has an immense understanding of sound, and he is a natural musical talent. Knowing his instinct for good taste makes working with him easy. He's always matched my level of investment/passion for a any project I've brought to him. Full of ideas, and open minded.

I am being tested for allergies because I woke up one morning with allergic shiners, severe sinus headaches, congestion at the bridge of my nose and no sense of smell or taste. I've tried a sinus rinse and it makes the symptoms more uncomfortable. I have an unexplainable rash that was just attributed to stress. The severe symptoms started after being exposed to drywall dust all day at work. I've had a chronic clear runny nose for I think since I moved to the mountains of Colorado 20 years ago.READ MORE
why does a sinus rinse make my headache worse and my face feel more congested?
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
I had the same symptoms as yours for about 8 months and i just had a sinus surgery done. I am not quite sure of what caused the congestion and polyps. But i guess its because of the dust or pollen mold. Recently after the surgery, i have been doing the 'squeeze bottle'- Neti Med everyday and i'm able to breadth freely through my nose and the best of it is that i'm able to sleep well. I'm glad that i got the surgery done :)
P.S - Please dont do the sinus rinse when you have severe congestion. It makes it worse and you might end up with a bad head ache. The reason being, the water does not flow out through the other nose and it might flow towards the eustachian tube in the ears. It is best to use when you feel like your nose is beginning to be stuffy.READ MOREYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

Ok long story short, My best guy friend (lets call him Rob) and I made out three times and he asked me not to tell anyone about it I said OK and he did too.
Well recently my friend (female this time) found out that I kissed someone (she doesn't know what kind of kiss) but she doesn't know who or any of the details. But recently she's been bugging me to tell her,but I don't want to break the promise I made to Rob. So what should I do? Should I tell her or keep it a secret?
Most Helpful Guy
If you both agreed not to tell anyone, you keep your end of the promise. Have some character and honor! God knows, as a guy, he's already run out and told every one of his friends. But hey, that's not what matters! You keep your end of the bargain.00|00|0
I think I will and he better not have

T-Mobile's BOGO deal requires you to add a new line, and purchase either phone using an EIP. That means that the 32GB Samsung Galaxy S7 in Black Onyx and Gold Platinum will cost you $0 down, and $27.92 a month over 24 months. The 32GB Samsung Galaxy S7 edge in Black Onyx, Silver Titanium and Gold Platinum will cost you $59.99 down, and $30 a month over 24 months.
T-Mobile will reimburse you for the free phone by sending you a rebate for the full retail price of both models. That is much different than AT&T's BOGO deal, which reimburses customers $23 over 30 months, just enough to cover the Samsung Galaxy S7 (the buyer is responsible for the remaining cost if he wants to buy a Galaxy S7 edge).
In addition to the BOGO deal, which is limited to two free phones, those purchasing the Galaxy S7 through March 18th from the nation's third largest carrier are entitled to a free Gear VR headset, six free games, and one year of Netflix for free.
If you're looking to surprise your significant other, or your kids, with a Samsung Galaxy S7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, you might want to take advantage of T-Mobile's BOGO offer. Remember, it is good for a limited time only.

Published: December 13, 1993
The 400 or so Luxembourgers in New York -- who don't usually get much attention as a group -- have all been invited to a Christmas party tomorrow in the grand duchy's new consulate.
That alone is cause enough to celebrate, but the building, a five-story town house at 17 Beekman Place, has a connection to Luxembourg that precedes its transformation from a private residence. It was the home of Irving Berlin from 1948 until his death in 1989. He wrote the score for the 1950 musical "Call Me Madam," based on the adventures of Perle Mesta, the Washington hostess chosen by President Harry S. Truman to be United States Ambassador to Luxembourg.
EGIDE THEIN , consul general of Luxembourg to New York, who found the house while scouting the East Side neighborhood in 1989, had no idea that it had a Luxembourg connection or that it was on the market.
"I just called the agent and told him that was the house I wanted," Mr. Thein said the other day. "He called back the next day and told me a famous man had lived there and had died two months earlier. We bought it in 1990." Since then the building, which also serves as the country's mission to the United Nations, has been redecorated and partly renovated.
Among the guests planning to be at the reception are Mr. Berlin's three daughters, MARY ELLIN BARRETT and ELIZABETH PETERS , who both live in New York, and LINDA EMMET , who came from Paris yesterday for the occasion.
Mrs. Emmet said the visit would be her first since the house changed hands. "I haven't seen it since it was renovated and I am sort of terrified of going in there," she said. "We moved in when I was 15, and I lived there until I was married in 1959. But I am not unhappy with the fact that it will be a consulate. That makes it more permanent than if it had been bought by an individual. We would have lost our links with it." Nadine Brozan

His legislation would fully repeal the already limited Racial Justice Act, among other measures.
Sen. Thom Goolsby vowed Wednesday to lift the de-facto moratorium on the death penalty with the filing of a bill he said would ensure "there are no roadblocks so we can move forward in North Carolina" with executions.
His legislation would fully repeal the already limited Racial Justice Act, among other measures.
During a press conference in Raleigh, Goolsby, R-New Hanover, called the death penalty the "law of our land" and said it's time to move forward following a nearly seven-year hiatus on the ultimate criminal sentence.
"It is what these victims and 100 other families expect in North Carolina," Goolsby said, pointing to several family members of victims who sat solemnly to his side and occasionally became emotional as reporters questioned Goolsby on the bill's intent.
The last person executed in North Carolina was Samuel Flippen for the murder of his 2-year-old stepdaughter. The death penalty has been tangled in legal action since then, and it's unclear exactly how quickly or whether Goolsby's measure would open the state to executions once again.
Goolsby said the bill does far more than repeal the Racial Justice Act, though that piece of the legislation drew the quickest response from the bill's detractors.
There have been two hearings involving four defendants since the Racial Justice Act's implementation, and in all cases the men were re-sentenced to life in prison because it was determined death penalty sentences were in part racially motivated, said Tye Hunter, executive director of the Center for Death Penalty Litigation, based in Durham.
"The response is to say, 'Let's get rid of the law that allowed us to find that out' seems to me not good judgment and not in line with what the people of North Carolina are interested in," Hunter said.
The General Assembly passed the original Racial Justice Act in 2009 on the heels of the exoneration of three black men. It prohibited the seeking of the death penalty on the basis of race and allowed defense attorneys to show evidence of racial bias anecdotally or through state, local and individual case statistics that uncovered patterns of racial bias.
Last year, the Republican-led General Assembly significantly curtailed the act by removing consideration of the race of victims or statewide statistics. The law still allows the use of statistics based on prosecutorial district. The amended act also says that a sole pattern of discrimination is not enough; rather, defense attorneys must also show intentional discrimination in an individual case.
Goolsby said district attorneys statewide have called on him to seek repeal of the act.
Ben David, district attorney for New Hanover and Pender counties, a Democrat, and president of the N.C. Conference of District Attorneys, said victims are disproportionally minorities in North Carolina and that dismissing potential jurors based on race or gender is already prohibited by the U.S. Supreme Court's 1986 Batson v. Kentucky decision. The Racial Justice Act "injects race into a very emotional debate to begin with," David said.
"Victims of crime have constitutional rights in North Carolina too," he added. "DAs are here today to fight for victims just as we will always fight to make sure that the law is fairly enforced against everyone."
David said his personal opinion on the death penalty is not relevant.
"I support upholding the law," he said. "It's this body's function to pass the laws, and it's my job to enforce them."
According to Goolsby, the bill also:
Direct the Department of Public Safety to update the General Assembly periodically on its ongoing training of personnel who participate in the execution process.
Codify into law a Supreme Court ruling that the N.C. Medical Board cannot punish doctors who participate in executions. The same would apply to licensing boards of nurses and pharmacists.
Bring certainty to the timeline of when the attorney general starts the legal process toward execution and when the secretary of public safety schedules an execution.
Require the attorney general to update the General Assembly each year on the status of pending post-conviction death penalty cases.
Provide the secretary of public safety flexibility to develop a humane and constitutionally sound method to conduct execution by lethal injection.
Direct the Department of Public Safety to update the General Assembly periodically on its ongoing training of personnel who participate in the execution process.
"We just feel like these changes need to be made to allow these cases to move forward with all of the reasonable timetables that are set and that we're able to effectively bring back into North Carolina the death penalty that's been put on hold since 2006 — and we think that this law will do that," Goolsby said.
North Carolina is one of 33 states with the death penalty, according to the national Death Penalty Information Center.

New 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2' Trailer: Kevin James Has Spidey Senses
by Ethan Anderton
February 5, 2015
Source: Sony Pictures
"We don't need any back-up, Blart." Just in case you forgot, this spring sees the return of Kevin James in Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, ensuring that we have plenty of stupid slapstick humor. Now a new trailer has arrived that shows Blart's vacation getting interrupted by a big heist in Las Vegas. And somehow, Blart and a bumbling team of other security guards are the only ones who can stop it. Yes, a guy who runs into a big glass window and gets kicked by a horse is supposed to stop a high-tech criminal. There's no farts in this trailer, but you can rest assured that they're probably saving that for those who will see the actual movie.
Here's the second trailer for Andy Fickman's Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 from Sony Pictures:
You can still watch the first trailer for Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 right here.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is directed by Andy Fickman (Parental Guidance, You Again, Race to Witch Mountain) and written by Nick Bakay (Zookeeper, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, "Mom") and the film's star Kevin James (Grown Ups). This time, Paul Blart (James) attends a Security Guard Expo in Las Vegas with his daughter. Despite being teased by casino security and other attendees, Blart steps up to take on a group of dangerous art thieves. Neal McDonough, Ana Gasteyer, D.B. Woodsie, Raini Rodriguez and Eduardo Verástegui star in the film which Columbia Pictures releases next spring April 17th, 2015. Do you care?

In Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi, we witnessed a big drama at Ritika-Sharman's engagement, where police comes with arrest warrant against Ranveer (Shakti Arora). Ritika stops her engagement in the middle and comes to save Ranveer. Even her father says RV is innocent and he has been trapped by his business enemies.
Police doesn't listen to any and by the time they arrest RV, Ishaani (Radhika Madan) stops them and take the blame on her. She says she is the owner of the company and she should be arrested, not RV. Though Falguni asks him to stop the police, he lets Ishaani go.
This makes RV's sister Parul furious and she scolds him for letting her Bhabhi go. RV acts tough and asks Nitin to join him for an important meeting. Sharman, on the other hand, stops his engagement and with his other brothers call lawyer to save Ishaani from going into jail.
Ritika is stunned by Sharman's reaction and her father consoles her as her engagement doesn't take place. Nitin (Hiten Tejwani) tells RV to think twice before deciding Ishaani as culprit. He gives him a clue saying only his enemy can do this and not the loved ones. RV, though gives a thought to what Nitin said, pretends to ignore and asks Nitin and Manas to continue with their work.
Manas is angry on seeing Chirag at RV's office. He tries to send Chirag out and even scold people at office as to why they let him in. RV interrupts and asks him to send Chirag to his cabin.
Click on the slides to read more...
Disha asks for diamonds that she had given to Chirag, but he lies saying he threw them. Disha gets to know that he is ditching her and bashes him, but the smart Chirag shows the picture that he had taken of hers while stealing and blackmails her. Disha had to return empty handed!
Chirag Accepts RV's Deal
RV knows that Chirag is his biggest enemy and he has diamonds. He asks him to return them to him and take his house in exchange, as his house is more worth than diamonds. He gives him two minutes, and Chirag finally accepts the deal.
RV asks Manas to get the papers. Chirag is happy that he will get back his home. But in fact he is trapped by RV.
RV Burns Papers
RV throws wine and burn the papers. Chirag is annoyed to see this, while Manas is happy with the trick that RV played.
With this Manas get to know that Disha was lying to him saying she threw the diamonds. He bashes her for lying.
Sharman, Prateek And Dewesh
Though Sharman, Prateek and Dewesh get lawyer, but police refuse to wait and take Ishaani to lockup.
RV Saves Ishaani
RV stops police from putting Ishaani into jail and says he withdrew the case as he is the owner of that company and has got the diamonds back.
When police ask him who is saving Ishaani, RV says it's Ishaani's husband and the owner of the diamond company who is saving her. Falguni (Gauri Pradhan) is happy seeing this.
Though Ishaani and RV sit together in the same car, they don't speak. RV is guilty that he didn't trust his love.

Mamma Caye's Gazpacho De Blanco (White Cold Soup)
Recipe by College Girl
My friends at KU are obsessed with this recipe.... even our German exchange student loves this one! The toppings are the best part... Pick and choose whatever you like. Personally, I adore smoked almonds and/or tomatoes in mine.... mmmmm... Don't add the toppings until its time to serve. The cooking time is chilling time.
Top Review by JWS8009
This soup is fantastic! I always thought I HATED Gazpacho, but this proved me wrong. I made it in the blender, and the 3rd cup of broth didn't fit. I forgot to add it later, so ate it w/o all the liquid. It was nicely thick and full of taste. I wonder if the 3rd cup of liquid would have resulted in a watery consistence? No matter what, it was SO refreshing and flavorful, this will become a standard summer meal in my house from now on!

I am making a full layer german chocolate cake. I am baking 2 thinner layers so that I can put filling in between the layers.
My problem is that my cake keeps sticking to the pan, ruining the cake. I am spraying the pans with Baker's joy spray, using bake even strips, and letting the cake cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before taking it out.
What am I doing wrong? Is it possible that there is a problem with the pan?? It is a brand new pan! My cake is due to in a couple hours, so unfortunately i am going to have to piece together two layers to make one. Hopefully the icing will cover it and it won't be too noticeable.
Help me if you have any suggestions.
Well...I'm done with the cake, so it is too late for any help with this cake....however, hopefully someone will know the answer to this question.
Is it possible for a new cake pan to be defective? I used a brand new sheet pan and all three attempts stuck..in the corners.
I think you're leaving the cakes in the pan too long. I take mine out of the oven and let them sit for just a couple of minutes before flipping them out. I have definitely had this problem when I left them in the pan too long.
Also - if you're using a sheet pan you should line that with parchment paper.
Sorry for your troubles...
You can probably tap the bottom of the pan after you flip it onto the cooling rack. that usually helps. i agree i think you are leaving it in the pan too long. sorry we couldnt help in time.
I make German's Chocolate cake all the time and I use Cake release all over the pan then I put a piece of parchement paper in the bottom then I take it out of the oven soon as it is done you can't over cook that cake or it will taste burnt and stick. Then let it cool for about 5 minutes then flip. GL next time.

Robbie Keane pays tribute to 'best mate' Damien Duff
Robbie Keane has used Facebook to pay tribute to his former team-mate Damien Duff on his retirement from the game.
The two Dubliners came up through the Irish underage ranks together before both went on to win a century of senior caps for Ireland.
Keane, more than a year younger than his freshly retired former team-mate, posted a great picture of the two together in the dressing room of Aviva Stadium after Ireland had beaten Estonia to qualify for Euro 2012.
In the post, Keane calls Duff one of his 'best mates' as well as saying the winger is one of the greatest players Ireland has ever produced.
'It's been an absolute pleasure playing with one of my best mates for so many years! Duffer you will be truly missed! Best of of luck in the next chapter of your life!! Has to go down as one of the greatest we've ever produced.'
We certainly won't disagree.
It's been an absolute pleasure playing with one of my best mates for so many years! Duffer you will be truly missed!...Posted by Robbie Keane on Tuesday, December 22, 2015

• Rules. Rhode Island is not a "state plan" state; that is, it does not have a federally approved occupational safety and health regulatory program. Therefore, the federal OSH Act governs workplace safety and health in the private sector (commercial establishments, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses except private schools).
Rhode Island has adopted the federal OSHA safety and health standards by reference for public sector employers, and has adopted public sector rules for hazard communication that are stricter than federal rules. See the state sections HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD and MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET for more information.
Certain contractors who bid on municipal and state construction projects must provide construction safety education to their on-site employees.
For information on the federal requirements, see the national sections HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD, MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET, and OSHA.
• Administration and enforcement. OSHA administers and enforces occupational safety and health in the private sector in Rhode Island. The Occupational Safety Unit administers and enforces occupational safety and health rules in public sector workplaces, including certain construction contractors. The Professional Regulation Unit administers the rules for construction contractor training.
The state defines "public sector workplaces" as a state agency or an agency of any political subdivision of the state, which includes municipal governments, public buildings, public school systems, and commissions. All such workplaces are covered under state workplace safety and health rules.

|ASE Fast Facts
|Total length:
|Approx. 7,800 km
|Design capacity:
|15 Tbps or above
|Landing stations:
|Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong
|NTT Com, Telekom Malaysia, PLDT and StarHub
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT (NYSE:NTT) Group, announced today that the Asia Submarine-cable Express (ASE) will be extended to Cambodia to provide reliable, high-capacity communication infrastructure for the increasing number of multinational companies operating in the Mekong region. The extension is based on an agreement that NTT Com has reached with Chuan Wei (Cambodia) Co. Ltd. Under the agreement, NTT Com will lay Cambodia's first submarine optical fiber cable. The ASE will provide highly reliable, high-capacity communications connecting Cambodia and other countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion with major locations elsewhere in Asia, including Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. The arrival of the ASE also will enable NTT Com to provide local customers with even higher quality Internet network services. NTT Com continues to upgrade and expand its global submarine-cable infrastructure, including through introduction of a 100 Gbps optical transmission system incorporating digital coherent technology. In addition, the company is expanding its number of ASE connection points and Nexcenter global data centers in Southeast Asia to provide high-quality network, data center and cloud services in end-to-end one-stop solutions. The ASE submarine cable is routed away from the Bashi Channel and the south coast of Taiwan, areas that frequently experience earthquakes and typhoons. The ASE also takes the shortest route of any submarine cable connecting Japan to Hong Kong and Singapore.
Digital CoherentDigital coherent is the latest transmission technology for improving spectral efficiency through multi-level modulation, including phase modulation and polarization multiplexing. It greatly enhances receiver sensitivity by combining coherent detection and digital signal processing. Global companies are increasingly investing in Cambodia to take advantage of government incentives for foreign investment. Located in the middle of the Southern Economic Corridor stretching from Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City, Cambodia is experiencing rapid economic growth. In turn, the need for reliable, high-capacity networks is rising to meet the increasing communication demands of locally based multinational companies.

Fitch Ratings has joined the ranks of forecasters seeing a significant drop in the smartphone market share enjoyed by Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) beginning this year. The respected credit rating firm sees the combined volumes of Apple and Samsung devices stagnating at about 460 million units in 2014 despite a 20% expected growth in total global unit sales to 1.2 billion. That is pretty much where I have been forecasting the smartphone market, with the mix in my view likely to be 300 to 310 million devices sold by Samsung and about 150 to 160 million sold by Apple. It is heartening to finally see a well-respected an independent observer like Fitch comment on a trend so painfully obvious it has amazed me that it has escaped the sell side on Wall Street for such a long time.
Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) recently acquired smartphone unit recently released a very low cost device - a feature phone rather than a smartphone since it will not have a data connection - at a price point of about $25. The Nokia (NYSE:NOK) 130 will not be a Windows OS phone but will use a Nokia operating system. What makes the phone interesting is that it is priced to be affordable to anyone; has an extraordinarily long battery life; and, can play music and videos. For many people, it will be all the phone they want or need. The inclusion of a 32GB SD Card capability makes it quite useful for watching a movie while taking the train where no data connection exists anyway.
Source: BBC News
Microsoft notes that some 300 million phones are sold into the ultra-low cost segment annually, or about one in every six handsets sold worldwide. A $25 phone with music and video is likely to stem the migration of that segment to smartphones or at least slow it down somewhat, and it might expand total demand in very low income markets like Africa, India and parts of Asia.
I have always had phones for my children and the monthly bills add up. They are used mostly to send and receive text messages; listen to music; and, watch short videos. The Internet capability promises more than it delivers in most cases, since our carrier puts limits on data usage and WiFi connectivity is spotty at best. Basically, I have been paying about $600 for what is typically used as an iPod with phone capability. Microsoft now seems to offer a fairly similar capability for $25. For many families who would like to provide their children with phones, it is an easy choice to make.
Not far above the Microsoft entry, the Firefox $50 smartphone has been launched in India. There seems little doubt it will find robust demand in a country where annual wages are extremely low.

Across the spectrum of offerings, lower priced smartphones are taking massive bites of market share. Xiaomi has emerged as the largest player in China displacing Samsung from the top spot. Xiaomi sells very well designed and functional smartphones at prices close to their cost making its money on the sale of content, a model hard for industry leaders like Samsung to emulate. Other Android based smartphone OEM's like Huawei, Wiko and Alcatel are advancing their markets shares in Asian and European markets based on well-designed but lower priced devices.
Samsung and Apple will suffer losses of market share and possibly be dethroned in their leadership in many markets as Samsung has been in China by Xiaomi. Relentless competition from lower priced alternatives will take its toll on the high end of the market as many consumers - even affluent consumers - see very useful devices at very low cost, particularly for their youngsters who seem to see a phone not only as a necessity but also as a commodity and help fill landfills with a sea of broken, damaged or lost devices.
Dell Computer was in the vanguard of firms driving the costs of personal computer down while driving the performance of those devices up during the late 1990's causing havoc for industry leaders like IBM at the time. Today's smartphone wars seem to be a replay of that competitive dynamic and the companies in the cross hairs of aggressive pricing combined with high function and user experience are Apple and Samsung.
The pressure from lower priced phones is having its effect already. IDC reports that while over 300 million smartphones were sold in Q2, a 25% rise over 2013, both Apple and Samsung lost market share in the period. Worse for both in some respects, Bloomberg reported that China Mobile (NYSE:CHL) has slashed subsidies for higher priced devices.
Samsung had already seen its profits suffer a decline as its smartphone shipments stuttered and average selling prices fell in the second quarter causing a 10% drop in revenues and a profit drop.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to calculate what happens to Apple profits if its volumes drop 10% and its prices drop 10% in parallel. Fifteen million fewer phones at $600 is $9 billion lost revenue. One hundred and fifty million phones at $60 per unit lower selling prices is another $9 billion gone. Together, a 10% decline in prices and unit sales would take about $10 billion out of Apple's net income. Do the math.
I am short Apple.

Sol Kerzner, the leisure and gaming tycoon, has lost control of the five-star Le Touessrok hotel in Mauritius, where he launched his One&Only resort empire in 2002.
Analysts expressed surprise that Kerzner - who is in pole position to develop a possible Manchester supercasino - had ceded control of Le Touessrok, where there has been considerable investment in recent years. The flagship hotel, which has been described as the 'jewel in the Indian ocean', is a favourite with celebrities from around the world.
But the move is part of a deal hammered out between Kerzner and his Mauritian business associates Fabio Piccirillo and Arnaud Martin, who are leaving One&Only to set up Sun Resorts Limited (SRL). The deal sees SRL cede control to Kerzner of another five-star hotel on Mauritius, Le Saint Geran, as well as SRL's holdings in One&Only resort properties in the Maldives.
Last year Kerzner, the man that Nelson Mandela described as his country's finest entrepreneur, took his Kerzner International private in a £2bn deal. The company controls around 12 luxury hotel and casino complexes in the Bahamas, Mauritius, Dubai and Mexico.
Kerzner's recent 70th birthday party was a two-day affair: a cocktail reception for 150 of his closest friends at his villa in Monaco, set on seven acres of Mediterranean cliffside, followed by a sumptuous party at Monaco's glamorous Sporting Club. Among those attending were Bono, Liza Minelli and Natalie Cole.
