Liability Of Directors For Corporate Environmental Transgressions
The risk environment for directors of companies that pollute is changing. In South Africa, a raft of recent prosecutions of directors and officers for corporate environmental transgressions bring into focus the limits of D&O cover for claims of this nature, and the importance of ensuring adequate cover is in place.
At the heart of environmental legislation in South Africa is Section 24 of the Constitution, which gives everyone the right to an environment which is not harmful to their health or wellbeing, and to have the environment protected for the benefit of present and future generations through reasonable legislative and other measures that:
- Prevent pollution in ecological degradation,
- Promote conservation; and
- Secure ecologically sustainable development and the use of natural resources while promoting justifiable economic and social development.
This section is given effect through the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA), an umbrella act, and a suite of sector-specific environmental acts. These include acts related to air and water pollution, land waste, biodiversity and conservation of protected areas.
The obligations and liability provisions in these acts are broad and far-reaching, particularly for directors of companies in pollution-intensive industries.
NEMA places an overarching duty of care on every person who causes, has caused or may cause significant pollution or degradation of the environment to:
"…take reasonable measures to prevent such pollution or degradation from occurring, continuing or recurring, or, insofar as such harm to the environment is authorised by law or cannot reasonably be avoided or stopped, to minimise and rectify such pollution or degradation of the environment."
The legislated penalties for non-compliance under NEMA and its related acts are severe. These include fines of up to ZAR10 million, imprisonment for a period of between one and ten years, or both a fine and imprisonment.
The reach of these acts means that directors (both past and present) who occupy positions of authority in companies at the time when offences are committed by those companies may be guilty of offences, and liable upon conviction for monetary penalties, in addition to potentially having to compensate organs of state or affected third parties by way of damages for carrying out remediation, as well as the costs of the prosecution.
In a recent claim, local and foreign D&Os of a multinational industrial producer were indicted for serious air and land pollution offences by their company. Their company operated in a competitive industry with tight margins and, over a number of years, fell behind in its compliance with progressively more onerous emissions and land remediation standards.
The local subsidiary of the company did not remedy these failings despite repeated compliance ultimatums by the environmental inspection authority, with the result that the D&Os were charged with environmental offences after the local entity entered receivership. It appears likely that the indicted D&Os may receive substantial fines together with suspended sentences.
Claims were brought against the D&O policies of the local entity and its international parent. In the case of the local policy, the usual Side A & B cover was extended to include an extension for environmental impairment defence costs. This extension operates to permit the advancement of defence costs for a claim for environmental impairment (which is generally excluded from D&O cover in terms of very wide pollution exclusion clauses).
The growing risk of environmental liability for D&Os has led underwriters to offer a range of bolt-on extensions of this nature to their standard liability wordings. These extensions generally do not extend to cover liability for fines, penalties or damages consequent upon an environmental transgression but, importantly, provide cover to affected D&Os for the costs of defence subject, to the usual D&O policy terms and exclusions.
In a similar prosecution recently reported in the press, the CEO of a waste management company was criminally charged, together with the company, for serious breaches of air quality legislation at a landfill site near Durban. He faces a maximum fine of ZAR 10 million.
These cases demonstrate that the authorities responsible for enforcing environmental compliance do not hesitate to use the personal liability provisions of legislation to indict D&Os in positions of responsibility.
The South African example is a reminder of the importance of ensuring that your D&O cover is bespoke to your risk environment. D&Os in pollution-intensive businesses would be well advised to make certain that their cover includes the necessary extensions to mitigate this risk.
Over in England & Wales, environmental considerations in the D&O sphere have been increasing as well, particularly since the Companies Act 2006 introduced a new duty on directors to "have regard to…the impact of the company's operations on the community and the environment" as part of a director's duty to promote the success of the company.
Many environmental offences provide that when a company is found guilty of an offence, its directors and other officers could be concurrently criminally liable. This could mean that an individual director or other officer may be tried for offences arising out of the same facts as those that give rise to the offence that the company is charged with. Generally, the regulator will have to prove that the individual director or officer knowingly caused or knowingly permitted the offence which could be challenging in large companies.
Where penalties are imposed on directors and officers, a key issue will be whether these can be recovered under a D&O policy. Of course, the first question is the policy wording. However, even if the policy positively provides cover for fines and penalties, there remains a question over whether the insurer can be required to pay out if the fines and penalties are uninsurable at law. The starting point here is often the public policy question of whether it is possible to recover an indemnity for a loss that results from your own wrongdoing, but complexities arise when one deals with conduct which is, in effect, criminal negligence.
As environmental issues and particularly the impact of climate change continue to be hot topics on the global political stage, it certainly seems like D&Os could face significant exposures in years to come from a variety of sources.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

A unique art movement has emerged combining the dynamic and interrelated worlds of comics, anime and hip-hop, with elements of modern art.
It celebrates its multi-cultural, international influence on science fiction, action and adventure and other confluences within and surrounding present day artistic culture. It's defined by an inspired, original approach to existing entertainment media that redefines the media itself. In the spirit of this, R. Jackson has coined this new genre "DON?" , in tribute to famed hip-hop producer J Dilla, whose last work, the magnum opus "Donuts" left an indelible mark on that industry. R. Jackson & Caiphus are pushing DON? into the realm of Pop Art. With DON?POP they explore the meaning of desire as it relates to spirituality in the context of popular culture. This new work challenges veiwers to examine their desires and the reason they exist.

Ulundhu Kozhukattai Recipe – Urad dhal Flavored dumpling
Ulundhu Kozhukattai is a kind of Indian dumpling (Modhagam) that consists of rice flour dough wrapped around a savory, mildly spicy filling made with Urad dhal and steam cooked. I love watching my mom preparing Kozhukattai every month for chathurthi & we all preferred to have only the kozhukattai for our meal. She used to prepare so many other flavors like kara Kozhukattai (Ammini Kozhukattai), Puli Kozhukattai, Inippu Kozhukattai (Poornam Kolukattai), Modhagam (modhaga Kolukattai) and Masala Kozhukattai.
Ulundhu Kozhukattai Recipe – Urad dhal dumpling Recipe
I never risked to make this urad dhal kozhukattai until my grandma boosted me to try this. Though it's a bit of work, it is totally worthy. Urad dhal is rich in essential fatty acids so you can prepare this as a healthy evening snack for kids.
Over to the healthy snack "Ulundhu Kozhukattai – Urad dhal Kolukattai" Recipe from Home-Making Delight…
Makes – 9
For Stuffing:
Urad dhal (Ulundhu) – 1/4 cup
Red Chilly – 1-2
Asafoetida/Hing (Perungayam) – 1/8 tsp
Salt – as needed
Oil – 1 tsp
Mustard seeds – 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves – few
Outer Cover:
Rice Flour – 1 cup
Water – 3/4 – 1 cup
Salt – as needed
Sesame Oil (Gingelly oil / Nallennai) – 2 tblsp
Preparation Method:
- Soak Urad dhal in water for 1-11/2 hrs. Drain the water completely & grind it coarsely with salt, red chillies and Hing without adding any water.
Spread the mixture on the Idli molds and steam cook it for 10 minutes or until its cooked.3. Once it cools down crumble the mixture with your fingers or pulse it in a mixer grinder for once or twice.4. Heat oil in a pan add mustard seeds, curry leaves and Red chillies (Optional) followed by the crumble dhal mixture and saute for a minute or so. Keep it aside.5. For making the outer cover bring the water to boil until it starts bubbling vigorously. Mix salt & rice flour in a bowl and start adding the boiling water & oil slowly to make a smooth dough.6. Make small balls (about 9) out of the dough and start flattening to form a disc with your hands or keep it in between the wax paper and press it with a flat surfaced pan.7. Add a teaspoon of dhal stuffing in the disc and seal it carefully as shown in the pic below. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough.
- Steam the kozhukattai in the idli molds for about 8-10 minutes until it's completely cooked.
Make Chathurti more special with Urad dhal Kozhukattai 🙂
- Grease the idli mould with oil to avoid the dumplings from sticking to it.
Keep the dough always covered and away from fan/AC as it might render the outer cover hard after cooking.

For the last 20 years, Carl A. Nelson & Company has offered college students the opportunity to continue their education through the summer and winter months by working and learning at our company.
The majority of our students have been in the engineering and construction management fields of study. However, we have had a student who interned in our Accounting department.
Several of our interns have become full-time employees at Carl A. Nelson & Company. To learn more about our internships, please contact Human Resources. You may email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 319.754.8415.
"Carl A. Nelson & Company has given me everything I wanted in an internship – variety. They have allowed me to be involved in a little bit of everything which has helped me identify the type of accounting that I truly enjoy. The staff is great too! Everyone is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I have an understanding of procedures and processes and they make me feel like I am part of the Carl A. Nelson & Company Family."
Kaleb Moser, University of Iowa Student, Accounting Intern
Jordan Hutcheson, interned with Carl A. Nelson & Company during the summer after his sophomore year at Iowa State University. He worked as a laborer on the Klein Center project for Great River Health Center in West Burlington, Iowa. During this capacity, Jordan was introduced to a variety of tasks such as steel framing, running a jack-hammer, and millwork. "I really enjoyed this aspect because I wasn't stuck on one discipline for the entire summer. This helped me to really get familiar with the flow of work on a construction jobsite, and learn how different trades depend and interact with each other.", said Jordan.
Carl A. Nelson & Company asked Jordan to return to work during the winter break of his junior year. As the Klein Center was nearing completion, Jordan was asked to develop punchlists for the same project he had helped to build. "It was neat to see how far the building I worked on had come in just the five months I was away.", stated Hutcheson.
After graduation, Jordan accepted an offer of employment at Carl A. Nelson & Company. Even though Jordan had interned and interviewed with other construction firms but, he selected Carl A. Nelson & Company.
Hutcheson ended by saying,"All in all, I feel very privileged to have had the internship I did with Carl A. Nelson & Company and was honored to accept an offer for employment…Even today as a Field Engineer, I still refer to my experiences as an intern in the field to better communicate with those I work with and to effectively plan the steps that need to be taken to get the job done."
To contact Jordan, send him an email at email@example.com.
"At an early age, I wanted to be an engineer." According to this Project Manager at Carl A. Nelson & Company, Jamie knew in high school that he liked the outdoors, working with people, to solve problems, and to be challenged. He decided construction was the perfect industry and enrolled at Iowa State University in the Construction Engineering program.
"At one point during my sophomore year, I realized that based on my current GPA, I wasn't going to be at the top of my class," Jamie admits. So, he made the decision to take more of a hands-on approach and applied for an internship at Carl A. Nelson & Company. During his first internship Mr. Stanley says he learned how the company operates, trained on computer programs specific to the industry such as Timberline and Primavera. Jamie returned to school "knowing that he had the real world experience that was applicable to the ConE core courses" that ultimately strengthened his work in the classroom.
The next year he returned to Carl A. Nelson & Company and went to work estimating and was fortunate to work on a project which he was involved with the year prior. Jamie says he was allowed to manage, with oversight, every aspect of the project from beginning to end including preparing subcontracts & purchase orders, cost coding, shop drawing review, requests for information, change management, scheduling, cost tracking, daily problem solving and contract closeout. Jamie stated, "Everything that I learned was put to use in my senior design course."
Jamie believes that internship programs mutually benefit the intern and the company. "They promote education, growth and a path to fast track the start of your career," Jamie summarized.
To contact Jamie Stanley, send him an email at email@example.com.
To learn more about our Internship Program, contact Human Resources or call 319.754.8415.

The State Duma condemned Plahotniuc's plans to destroy "Our Party" and Renato Usatyy
Vladimir Plahotniuc - the oligarch who seized Moldova, launched the mechanism of destruction of "Our Party", which is the only real opposition force and its leader Renato Usatyy, stated during the plenary meeting of the State Duma of the Russian Federation the LDPR deputy Anton Morozov.
In March of this year, the LDPR and "Our Party" signed an agreement on cooperation in Moscow.
According to Morozov, the oligarch Plahotniuc captured the power in Moldova and is trying to destroy "Our Party" by any means. He reminded that the Party "Patria", whose electoral list was headed during the parliamentary elections of 2014 by Renato Usatyy, was illegally excluded from the elections, "and Usatyy, who had the highest rating among all Moldovan politicians, was not allowed in 2016 to participate in the presidential elections. To this end, the Constitutional Court expressly increased the age limit for presidential candidates from 35 to 40 years.
Morozov recalled that Usatyy, the leader of "Our Party", became the target of a new barrage of repression, after publishing documents that reveled the theft of a billion dollars from Moldova's banking system and proved that the main beneficiary of this theft is Plahotniuc. Among other things, Usatyy has published evidence that for the registration of firms through which money was withdrawn from Moldova, the passports of the residents of Donetsk People's Republic and the Lugansk People's Republic were used. Thus, the organizers of the "theft of the century" tried to kill two birds with one stone - not only to cover up crime, but also to cast a shadow on the DPR, LPR and Russia.
"Contrary to all ordered, politically motivated criminal cases, fabricated against Usatyy, he received 74% of the vote in the first round of the election of the Mayor of Balti - the second largest city in Moldova. The representatives of "Our Party" headed the greatest number of city mayoralties. Today, more than 100 criminal cases have been initiated against 50 mayors, councilors of local councils, active members of "Our Party", Morozov said.
In conclusion, the deputy emphasized, that "the authorities intend to impede "Our Party" to participate in upcoming parliamentary elections. Plahotniuc launched the mechanism to destroy the only real opposition party, up to attempts to physically eliminate Usatyy, who is forced to stay in Moscow."

Sungha arranged and played 'Take On Me' by A-Ha.
"Take on Me" is a song by the Norwegian pop band A-ha. Written by the band members, the song was produced by Alan Tarney for the group's first studio album Hunting High and Low, released in 1985. The song combines synthpop with a varied instrumentation, which includes acoustic guitars, keyboards, drums and synthesizers.
The original "Take on Me" was recorded in 1984, and took three releases to chart in the United Kingdom, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart in November 1985. In the United States the song reached the top position of the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1985, due in no small part to the wide exposure of its memorable and cutting-edge music video on MTV, directed by Steve Barron. The video features the band in a pencil-sketch animation called rotoscoping combined with live-action. The video won six awards, and was nominated for two others at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.

I'm thrilled to announce that Michael Brandse and I will be at this year's Tokyo Game Show to showcase our game "Why is the Princess in a Magic Forest?!". We have a booth in the Indie Game Area for two days, September 19th and 20th. We'll have a five level demo, both English and Japanese versions, for you to play.

To celebrate, I'd like to share an array of artwork and screenshots, including a first look at the front and back cover of the soundtrack that will be released the same day the game goes on sale (date still to be determined).
I will be sure to take lots of pictures at TGS and share those here later.

SoCal Spotlight returns with a look at RIVALS. They have a lot going on right now and we think that you should certainly keep your eyes on them. Learn more about RIVALS below.
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
When the band formed: 2014
Kalie Wolfe – Vocals
Micket Woodle – Guitar
Sebastian Chamberlain – Bass
When did you first know you wanted to be in a band?
KW: Weirdly enough, I didn't really ever want to be in a band per say but I know the moment I wanted to do music. I was shooting photos back when I was like 17 and I was on side stage shooting a friends band. I remember stopping and I looked out to a sold out show. I have this distinct memory of me thinking, "wow, I need to do this," and a year later I joined RIVALS.
SB: At a very young age my mom dated somebody who is in a big band and took me to one of their shows and when I saw them play I knew that's what I wanted to do.
MW: I was 11 and I was watching a Lorne video in my living room and playing air guitar haha.
How did the current lineup come to be?
KW: Back in like 2013, Micket and approached me about starting a band, I have known Micket since I was like 13 years old just through mutual friends but we were never really that close. I went on tour with his band as a photographer when I was 17 and he heard me sing. Like a year later or so, that band he was in broke up and he was looking to start another project. I know he mentioned doing something less metal and wanted to see what I could do to this track he had. It just ended up sounding really good and we kinda went with it. Seb came a bit later, like maybe two or three months after we released H/H back in 2015. We met him through just playing shows in our local scene. Its actually funny cause we had met one time and I posted on Facebook saying "looking for a bass player" and all he commented was that girl emoji with her hand up and here we are two years later constantly touring together haha.
With all the little pockets of music scenes in SoCal, how do you go about checking out the local scene and finding new bands to listen to or even perform with?
KW: Honestly Facebook/Instagram/Twitter are such powerful tools to find other bands in your area, Its kinda how we've even found some bands to tour with even. But also just constantly seeing flyers from friends/etc and being like "oh I've never heard of them before" and I tend to go and check it out just to see whats going on in music.
What's your favorite thing about the SoCal scene? What's one thing you wish you could change about it?
SC: One thing I love about the scene is how much everyone supports each other in their music. The people who believe in you, really go out of their way to make sure you're treated amazingly. SoCal has some of the best people we've ever met and who show us so much support. And if I can change one thing it would probably be the also the lack of support as well. I wish more people would go and support the local shows, and I guess this is less of the local scene and more of normal people who enjoy music in general. Music can only thrive if people support.
There's no doubt that this is a crowded place. So do you ever find it difficult to build up even just a solid local following? How does the band go about doing that?
MW: Definitely, Los Angeles has such a big local scene of great musicians and it's hard to really stand out but as long as you stay true to your music and really put your heart into it (and make your live show really interesting haha) then nothing can stop you
How do you handle the band's social media presence? Where can the readers follow you?
KW: I run all of our socials, kinda constantly on my phone looking for new marketing methods or new ways to make us stand out. Always been my thing to be honest haha.
Also, be sure to check out the new single "Low."
Do you have a favorite SoCal spot to play? What makes it your favorite?
We love playing at Malones but we also like Chain as well. They're both super solid venues, good vibe and solid sound.
What is the band working on right now?
KW: We are currently in the process of releasing our new record which will be out 2/2 via Smartpunk Records titled Damned Soul. Keep your eye out for new videos/and tour announcements! Tons of really awesome things coming up quickly!

In the lead essay for this volume, Joshua Foa Dienstag engages in a critical encounter with the work of Stanley Cavell on cinema, focusing sceptical attention on the claims made for the contribution of cinema to the ethical character of democratic life. In this debate, Dienstag mirrors the celebrated dialogue between Rousseau and Jean D'Alembert on theatre, casting Cavell as D'Alembert in his view that we can learn to become better citizens and better people by observing a staged representation of human life, with Dienstag arguing, after Rousseau, that this misunderstands the relationship between original and copy, even more so in the medium of film than in the medium of theatre. The argument is developed further by essays from Clare Woodford, Tracy B. Strong, Margaret Kohn, Davide Panagia and Thomas Dunn, to which Dienstag responds in the concluding chapter, 'A reply to my critics'.

"This book argues that John Dewey should be read as a philosopher of globalization rather than as a 'local' American philosopher. Although Dewey's political philosophy was rooted in late nineteenth and early twentieth century America, it was more importantly about the role of America in a globalized world. In returning to, and recovering the neglected global dimensions of Dewey's political philosophy, the book highlights how his insights about globalization and democracy can inform present theoretical debates. John Narayan traces the emergence of Dewey as a global democrat through an examination of his work from The public and its problems (1927) onwards. Narayan shows how Dewey sets out an evolutionary form of global and national democracy in his work, that has not been fully appreciated even by contemporary scholars of pragmatism, and which offers valuable lessons for the twenty-first century and for our own hopes for global democracy."

Focusing on the social democratic heartland of Western Europe, In search of social democracy gives the first detailed assessment of how the new social democratic revisionism has fared in government. The book begins by considering the causes of the end of social democracy's golden age and the magnitude of the challenges faced by social democratic parties after the 1970s. It then examines detailed case studies of how particular social democratic parties responded to this changed political terrain. Finally, it contributes to a broader conversation about the future of social democracy by considering ways in which the political thought of 'third way' social democracy might be radicalised for the twenty-first century. The contributors offer a variety of perspectives, but are united by the conviction that the themes addressed in this book are crucial to determining the feasibility of more egalitarian and democratic social outcomes than have been possible in the era of neo-liberalism.

Knowledge, democracy and action is based on a three-year international comparative study undertaken by the Global Alliance on Community Based Research and supported by the UNESCO Chair in Community Based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education. It provides evidence from twenty case studies around the world on the power and potential of community and higher education based scholars and activists working together in the co-creation of transformative knowledge. The book draws on the experience and insights of thirty-seven scholars and practitioners from the Global South and North. Opening with a theoretical overview of knowledge, democracy and action, the book is followed by analytical chapters providing lessons learned and capacity building in the north and the south, on the theory and practice of community university research partnerships, models of evaluation, approaches to measuring the impact and an agenda for future research and policy recommendations.

Harrogate offers a fabulous base for all, and notably those of us in the north of England and in Scotland. I look forward to joining many others at the Conference Centre in 2020." Rt Revd Paul Butler, Bishop of Durham
"A huge thank you from my family and I for a wonderful time at Harrogate 2019. We benefit hugely each year we come… We have already been challenged to make changes to our prayer lives and intrigued to follow up certain themes. We have loved Malcolm's teaching – how amazing to have him back. LOVED the worship too.
Just want to praise you and the location for how well you provide [Spring Harvest]. It's wonderful how everything seems to have been thought of and how convenient everything from parking to eating is. I really can't see how you could compete with a new venue so it's great you are returning.
You are very much blessing our church which is based in Leeds… There is a little group of people (that we intend to grow if possible) that are finding this a place that can renew them or power them forward each year. As a Church we need more of that and we do hope we will be able to get more people to attend/to attend more days as SH could really help fuel us. Leaders especially are so relieved to come to a place where they don't have to be worrying about what's what and actually be participating.
On a personal level, I am blessed by the atmosphere in SH even when I am wandering around with an unsettled three year old… Plus the sessions I could get to were absolutely targetted on what God was flagging up to me…
For now – just thank you, amazed at the all round amazing quality of this event, the efficiency of it and the way you address people's needs."

Title: Santa to the Rescue
Author: Adele Downs
Publisher: Entangled: Flirt
Release Date: November 11, 2013
Pages: 39
Buy Link: Amazon
Firefighter Jamey Tucker knows three things in life to be true: an honorable man doesn't go back on his word; never hurts a woman; and lasting love isn't a myth. But with his recent move to a new job at Appleton Fire Station, the long hours don't offer hope of finding the love he's looking for.
When Jamey meets beautiful pediatric nurse Heather Longhurst after hearing her sing "Santa Baby" in a supermarket aisle, he offers her a promise he discovers he can't keep. Heather has been betrayed by men in the past, making it hard for Jamey to gain her trust. Determined to find a way to win her heart, Jamey uses firefighter engine-uity and Heather's favorite song to prove he's got Christmas spirit she can believe in all year.
This is such a feel-good book!!
"She bent her knees, did a little dip, and then wiggled her butt, which, even beneath the blue scrubs and a short winter jacket, looked incredible.
Jamey halted, dead in his tracks, hoping the gorgeous blonde wouldn't see him and become embarrassed. Or stop."
I'm not crazy about the cover of this book, but the story is so sweet! I understand Jamey when he wonders why Heather couldn't just take his word for it when he has to cancel their meeting. I appreciate it, as I know Heather does, when Jamey surprises her. I love men who make big gestures. It's a good reminder that not all men are the same. Some are still genuine and knows how to keep their word. It's definitely a lovely Christmas :)

DMS '10: iPad a Game Changer for Publishers
Many have hailed Apple's iPad as a salvation for publishers, and rapid adoption unequivocally certifies that it is indeed a "killer app." But what opportunities exist for Yellow Pages providers to marry their deep content and established brands with iPad's unique assets?
Yellowbook VP of Digital Media Mike Wilson, Yellow Magic CEO Ron Mintle and WillowTree Apps Founder Michael Prichard explored the possibilities that iPad introduces during a panel discussion at DMS '10, addressing iPad from three distinct perspectives: Yellow Pages publisher, software provider and application developer.
Yellowbook is the first YP publisher to feature an iPad app, and Wilson underscored that the device is already a "leading member" of the company's mobile portfolio because of its volatile growth and easy-to-use interface. Listings are easily geolocated, and all services, including watching video and posting reviews, are embedded within the application for optimal navigation. Naturally, Yellowbook's app also capitalizes on social media sharing functions and closes the purchase loop even farther by linking to Skype to contact to businesses directly.
Mintle's Yellow Magic incorporates distribution by replicating the print book as an iPad PDF in which all features are "hot" (click to link, click to call) and a variety of advertising options can be readily integrated (splash screens, inserted ad pages, banners). It also offers a sales force automation system for the device. This software package enables directory services to transfer a sales representative's office in full to the iPad, including everything from contracts to proofs to revenues.
Prichard saw business management solutions such as Yellow Magic as an area of significant opportunity for iPad. Of the six attributes that distinguish it, he suggested that Yellow Pages is imminently positioned to take advantage of geolocation. In both Wilson's and Mintle's examples, however, iPad's touch, ease of use, "always on" and portability trademarks are also front and center.
As for monetizing the iPad opportunity, past experiences with mobile suggest that it is commonly treated as added value, or at best, an upsell layered on top of bundled advertising packages. But Wilson emphasized that mobile is coming out of its purely experimental phase and that "the time for it to act as a standalone for monetization has arrived."

|Craig Buckland
|Personal information
|Competition information
Craig Buckland was a contestant of Top Shot Season Four. He was eliminated during a Preliminary Challenge on Week One, before the teams were formed.
Personal lifeEdit
- "Being a scientist and being a marksman are one and the same."
- ―Craig Buckland[src]
Craig is a chemist residing in Sandisfield, Massachusetts. As a member of a manufacturer's shooting team, Craig has won at least one championship title annually since 2007. He's been shooting competitively for around 10 years, traveling the United States and Europe in a number of shooting events. Craig is also a 5-Gun master of the International Defensive Pistol Association and one of only three "Stock Service Revolver Distinguished Master" in the world.
Top ShotEdit
During the first episode of the show, Craig Buckland arrived at the Shooting Range, along with the other seventeen contestants. Host Colby Donaldson announced a Preliminary Challenge to narrow the contestants to sixteen, where each contestant would have to fire an M14 rifle at a target 200 yards downrange. The two contestants with the shots farthest from the bullseye would be eliminated.
Craig was the sixteenth contestant to shoot the M14. His shot landed at 9.6" from the bullseye, which put him in the "hot seat", along with Forrest McCord. With only two contestants left to shoot, Colby warned Craig that if any of the two remaining contestants shot closer to the bullseye, he would instantly be eliminated. After that, Tim Trefren hit the target 2" from the bullseye, automatically eliminating Craig from the competition.
After William Bethards shot, Forrest was announced as the other eliminated contestant, and Colby asked him and Craig to say goodbye to the others. Craig and Forrest then walked away from the Shooting Range.

The whole world of TV advertising started in this country in 1958, and given the amount of intellect, thought, creative genius and Money that has been expended in this area, it is not surprising that, in the intervening 5 decades, some of the snippets which have been interleaved with the programmes have actually been something approaching mini-Works of Art. You don't realise just how good some of these creations are until you see them without the inconvenience of the programmes we have to sit through interrupting them, and diluting their genius.
So, it was, with considerable interest that, the other night, I watched one of the highly addictive "100 Greatest …" Programmes which Channel 4 have been producing over the last few years, this one covering the 100 Best TV Ads Ever.
The reality, of course, is that the list is only what a few Channel 4 viewers, "industry experts" and "critical opinion", whatever that lot means. The real reason I suspect these programmes are made is to get you arguing with the TV set about a particular Ad being in there at all, or its position in a totally subjective Top 100. The truth of course, is that most of the Adverts are not even aimed at you, and you could probably get a good psychological profile of yourself by getting a shrink to review the ones which strike a chord with you individually.
You've no real idea if the Ads which you think are good, actually worked. The only way I can judge them, as an interested bystander, is if the company running them kept them going on TV for a decent length of time. In spite of Lord Leverhulme's obligatory dictum that "Half of my advertising is wasted, but the trouble is, I don't know which half.", I bet that someone in these companies, especially those like Coca Cola knew precisely that the half that was on TV actually worked. The money being sprayed around was so huge that if it didn't work, they'd have canned the airtime and done something else pretty damned quick, or the Adman would have been finding another job.
So the conclusion you come to is that most of the ones which drill their insidious ways into our brains actually made people get off their backsides and go into the showroom, or buy a bar of chocolate, or shake some adulterated talcum powder on their carpet and then immediately Hoover it up. Or even try a can of Coke, and realise immediately that Pepsi still tasted better.
The ones I never understood were the ones like the BT Ads, which always seemed to me to be advertising a monopoly, and apart from a few additional calls between Maureen Lipman's friends congratulating her on a terrific performance playing herself, seemed to be heading nowhere.
Some of the 100 "Best" ones, you'd actually very much like to forget, but they are, by their very horribleness and the high degree of Cringe inducing feelings they generate, actually very memorable. My personal selection of these includes -
· Henry Cooper, splashing Brut around in a shower room full of semi naked men (one of whom was Kevin Keegan – I always worried about him) in a vaguely disturbing way, which today would have the Police round demanding to look at his Laptop.
· Charlie Girl perfume, with that girl in a gold Boiler suit, built like a Racing Snake, grinning like an idiot and twirling around in a Bar. I always felt as if a good slap would have been the order of the day there.
· Leslie Crowther getting supermarket buyers to taste bits of anaemic looking margarine on little bits of biscuit, without you thinking how much money they'd been paid to pick the one with Stork on. Can you imagine what the one they rejected must have tasted like, or even what it was?
· Victor Kiam selling Remington shavers – proving for ever that CEOs are no good whatsoever fronting a TV Ad
· Fairy Liquid with Nanette Newman and that ghastly, fawning child
· The Sugar Puffs Honey Monster
· The Milky Bar Kid
· The PG Tips Monkeys - where were Health and Safety, and the RSPCA when we really needed them? And finally
· The Shake n Vac Woman – the truly appalling thing was that every time they showed the Ad, their sales went into the Stratosphere, which says something about something – I just don't know what it is.
But what about the good ones? The one thing you can guarantee is that the winner in the Channel 4 selection will not be your favourite, and your "Best One by a Mile" will come in somewhere like Number 37 – which indicates the real point of the programme. It's four hours of inexpensive television designed to get you shouting at the set, calling them morons but talking about it all in the pub/at work the next day.
So yours won't be mine, but seeing as I write this thing, I get to choose my eight favourites, perhaps not for a Desert Island, although I wouldn't mind taking a couple of them with me! So, in no particular order -
Boddingtons - Well yes. It works on so many levels. The first one absolutely stopped you (or at least it did me!) in your tracks. The girl, in black stockings, and a very fitting Little Black dress walking very purposefully across the polished floor of a very expensive penthouse, sitting down at a dressing table, then cutting to her rubbing her moisturising cream seductively into her face a couple of times to finish her makeup. Then "The Sting" as she dips her hand a third time in the creamy head (!) of a pint of beer before applying it again.
And the simple strapline - The Cream of Manchester. The Cream of Manchester indeed. If that wasn't a perfect Ad, I don't know what was.
By the way, it was a young Anna Chancellor, aka Duckface in "Four Weddings" for those who want to join the lust-fest.
R Whites - It's a little company standing up and fighting the big boys. And didn't they do it well. An utterly infectious riff, I bet you're starting to sing it now – "I'm a secret-a lemonade drinker, R Whites, R Whites......". Brilliant.
Everyone in their time has been infected by it, and you get so irritated with yourself because you can't stop singing it, and you feel such an idiot. Sung (for the anoraks) by Elvis Costello's dad. And who on earth was R White anyway, and what did the R stand for?
Cadburys Flake - Yes well, we've all got our favourite, and I suspect that you can tell a man's age by asking him which his was. Mine's the languorous girl sitting on the open chateau window seat, if anyone's interested. It's the way she licks it to start with. There's a slightly louche feeling running through them all - Botoxy lips before Botox had been invented, soft focus lenswork, somewhat surreal locations (no Luton Airport here), an obligatory lizard (don't even ask), the flake must crumble, and the girl eating it has to lick the crumbly bits. It's probably my age but I swear the Flakes have got longer over the years.
I've no idea how these ads are seen through female eyes, but I can't imagine they'd have the same effect on them - which is odd because I can't recall ever seeing a man eating one, so I assume they're aimed at the females among us. Curious.
VW - in my view the best "Series" of Ads ever. They've had a wholly unique house style for something like 30 years now, and continue to be fresh, funny and effective. Even today, when you first see a new one being shown, you have to stop and watch it. I suspect they've been a very major factor in positioning VW's brand in this country - probably not that cheap to make, but they've earned their keep a hundred fold. We've got three in the family, so they must work!
Maxell Tapes - a very witty take on Bob Dylan, singing Subterranean Homesick Blues but given an exquisite twist (actually My Ears are Alight!) to make the point that Maxell tapes were the bees knees for clarity and hi-fi reproduction. Excellent.
The "Guardian" - actually quite a serious Ad, brilliantly made. It told the whole issue of putting a slant on a piece of news, the "It all depends on how you see something" approach quite amazingly brought to life in 20 seconds - the most intelligent Ad I've ever seen. I even bought the "Guardian" for a few days as a result, but I couldn't get used to the unshaven armpits.
Lego Mouse - Just so clever, it showed exactly what the product could do in a way that appealed to kids, and grown ups - the Tommy Cooper impression was an absolute flash of genius.
Smash - for a product which has no sex appeal (well, at least not to me!), it was very silly and hugely watchable for umpteen years, and got the whole idea of instant mashed pototoes, a subject that didn't even show on my Million most interesting things list, onto that list. We even tried it once, but not as I recall, twice!
Yes, I do have a favourite, and if I had enough Techno-Nous, I'd put a copy of it in this piece. But I haven't yet, so I can't. It's not even on YouTube (as far as I can tell) so I can't even point you there. So, to plagiarise Kenneth Williams, I've set myself a bijou project, to work out how to do it, because it's 50 seconds of pretty flawless genius - almost a work of televisual Art, and it needs to be available to the World.
I will be back.

Aromatherapy for Pimple Treatment:
It has been established that Aromatherapy is an amazing cure for acne and skin disorders. Research states that the tea tree oil, in particular helps treat acne effectively.
A clinical trial was conducted, in which tea tree oil was used for certain volunteers, while others were given the conventional treatment for acne, benzyl peroxide. The study was carried out on 124 subjects, suffering from acne.
The study revealed that tea tree oil showed quicker results and did not cause any adverse side effects.
Tea Tree Oil Information:
The tea tree is a small shrub, which grows in swampy areas.
Tea Tree Oil for Acne Treatment:
Tea tree, is a very effective aroma oil for skin treatment and management of acne, blackheads, whiteheads and enlarged pores. It banishes bacterial activity and prevents their multiplication.
Tea tree added to aloe vera gel has considerable therapeutic benefits. It makes a wonderful skin mask that nourishes and protects the skin.
Warning: Do not use the oil on sensitive skin. Use in moderation, and almost always mixed with a carrier oil. Consulting an aromatherapy specialist is advocated.
Get Rid of Acne using Aromatherapy Oils:
- 1 drop of tea tree oil
- 2 drops of lavender oil
- 6 to 8 drops of almond oil
Mix these oils well and apply all over the affected area. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes. Then wipe off with a soft cloth or a tissue. Rinse well. A daily application is recommended. The treatment will take 1 to 3 months. Blackheads and whiteheads vanish, ugly scars are cleared up, and the texture of the skin is greatly enhanced. The cure is speeded up, if alongside aromatherapy treatment, a stringent diet is followed.
Preventing Acne:
- Drink 3 liters of water daily. Water flushes the system and hydrates the skin, improving the complexion tremendously.
- Let fresh fruits and vegetables be the mainstay of the diet. They provide the body with vital nutrients which are necessary for a gorgeous skin. Fruit and vegetable juices are recommended daily.
- In particular step up the intake of nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts, and cashew nuts). They are loaded with zinc. Zinc is a powerful mineral which checks acne and improves skin health. Also, nuts provide essential fatty acids, which are a pre-requisite for healthy skin.
- Ensure that the bowel movement is good. Poor bowel movement and constipation are hurdles to a beautiful skin.
- Follow a regular skin care regimen for prevention of pimples. Never skip cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Scrubbing once a week or once a fortnight is essential. Choose skin products that have a water base, rather than an oil base.
- Protect the skin from too much sun exposure.

Know what's a pain?I'll tell you. Having a strangely shaped body. I'm a size TWENTY on top, because my boobs are huge (huge, I say!), and a size TWELVE on the bottom. It's a pain, also, because those huge boobs? They're not in the same place as the darts are on the pattern that I bought. Oh no. Nope. Cup size G/H boobs are not (I repeat NOT) perky. This is going to make my dress a little difficult to sew. Here's the fabric I picked out - I think it will be pretty, if it ever gets made!
On the other hand, I made the boys each a pair of pajama pants on Saturday. And Tai and I added ribbon and flowers to the belt on Darcy's dress. I like it much better, now!

Many writers begin with character, but often as not, my stories begin with fictional settings. I get to know my characters by seeing how they behave at work. Do they eat out or sit at their desks? Do they pack a lunch box? Is it black or aluminum, or does it have a cartoon logo? Does the lunch box contain a thermos of coffee or hot soup? Would my character be considered a "blue collar worker" or "skilled tradesperson" or a manager? "Lunch" says a lot about a character's habits and social standing. If that's so, then how does this fictional setting influence the character's hopes, uncertainties, and regrets? An author who describes a character eating lunch at work reveals a lot about that person's life.
Most of us spend eight hours a day away from home. Work colleagues–and the dangers or satisfactions inherent in our workplaces–affect our well being. If we feel beaten down at work, that spills over into how we behave at home. Yet, much of our modern fiction focuses largely on the drama inherent in family life (or the claustrophobic drama going on inside the character's thoughts). Many writers place eighty to ninety percent of the action in the family sphere.
What if we turned that on its head? What if work became eighty percent of a novel's focus? Certainly, an author would need a pretty big landscape to make work feel that important. I would submit that Mare Island Naval Shipyard might be a fictional setting worth such an attempt.
Mare Island Naval Shipyard is located in Vallejo, California, just on the edge of San Pablo Bay. Fifty thousand people once worked here. From the age of the industrial ruins, I would have guessed the shipyard to have been a response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. However, it's much older than that.
Mare Island's original 956 acres were purchased by the Navy in 1853. The first ship built there was the Saginaw, a wooden sloop-of-war built in 1858. Over the years the shipyard expanded. However, all 5000 plus acres of Mare Island were taken out of service on April 1, 1996. Now, the site is being "repurposed" and its land distributed to government agencies and housing developers.
If you live in the Bay Area, go see it before it's gone. There's no guard at the gate. No one's checking your ID. Stroll about past the old Navy hospital and the officers' quarters. Check out the chapel's Tiffany windows.
If you're a bird watcher, bring a birding guide and binoculars. Photographers, bring your cameras. If you're a writer bring a notebook.
Mare Island, with its giant cranes, empty warehouses, and massive drydocks, would make a terrific fictional setting for a novel about the people who once worked here.
In 1935 the USS Henley, a destroyer, was built at Mare Island. During World War II, the focus shifted to submarines and landing craft. Through the sale of war bonds, Mare Island's patriotic workforce raised enough money to pay for an entire submarine. But, there's more to this tale. Mare Island was also the site of persistent racial discrimination.
I was overjoyed to discover that I'm not the only author fascinated by this haunting, evocative relic of our industrial past. Here are three books worth checking out.
Author Brooks Rodden has written a nonfiction book called Mare Island. The book was inspired by his discovery of this industrial "ghost town." A beautifully produced book, Rodden has provided stunning original photography as well as historical tidbits and the author's own responses to the site.
Also nonfiction is Standing Tall: Willie Long And the Mare Island Original 21ers: A Legacy of Courage, Activism, and Social Justice by Jake Sloan. The book is about the racism and work conditions in Mare Island. "In 1961, there were an estimated one thousand plus African-Americans working at Mare Island Naval Shipyard." For decades, they had suffered under systematic, discriminatory working conditions in hiring, training, pay, and promotions.
Gary Cullen's The Boys from Boston, another nonfiction book, explores what happens when a town is "invaded" by young army troops.
"The famed 211th Coast Artillery Anti-Aircraft Regiment from Boston, Massachusetts arrived into the City of Vallejo a few days after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Its job: to protect Mare Island Naval Shipyard and the City of Vallejo from any further Japanese attacks."
Thankfully, that never happened. These are true stories about the soldiers, their work, and the women they married.
What about you? Have you discovered any hidden gems about World War II or the working life? Please share in the comments.

Some museums are really getting it right when it comes to making their exhibits accessible to those with visual impairments. The British Museum is leading the way and Judith Furse applauds their efforts.
Recently, my niece and I visited the British Museum. It was wonderful!
I'll tell you all about it in a moment, but I have to say that visiting museums and historical buildings hasn't always been this enjoyable. Too often, access has been difficult, with long, steep, flights of steps to negotiate and endless galleries to plod through, while my experience of the exhibits themselves has been limited to listening to friends and family reading the printed descriptions of the items while I try and work out what on earth it is that everybody else is looking at.
Sometimes I've struck lucky, though.
A visit to Sheldon Manor some years ago was a case in point. From the moment I stepped through the door, the owners, Major Gibbs and his wife, took me under their wing.
The first thing Major Gibbs said to me was, "Have you tried our seventeenth-century harp?" As though I was in the habit of entering other people's homes and twanging their antique stringed instruments without their permission!
I was invited to touch the medieval embroidery on a bed cover and there was a heart-stopping moment when Mrs Gibbs placed an object in my hands with the words, "This is a sixteenth-century rosewater bowl from India."
It felt gorgeous, but I was terrified that any moment I was going to drop it. It was a relief in the end to hand it back!
It was a hugely enjoyable visit but, looking back, it stands out as being unusual. Most museums and historic buildings I went to weren't like that. Over the years things, though, things have changed. The National Trust are trying to make their properties more user-friendly for everyone and museums are getting more imaginative about helping the visually-impaired access their collections.
Which brings us back to the British Museum.
One Saturday in February, my niece and I went to their exhibition about Ashaburnapal, king of ancient Assyria. I booked tickets in advance through the museum's access office and we duly turned up at the appointed time.
We were taken into a tutorial room where, along with others who had booked for the occasion, we were given a fascinating talk by a curator and a professional audio-describer and a number of objects were handed round. It was so amazing to hold a cuneiform tablet in my hand and feel the embossed symbols on it. We were also able to hold an earring mould and a bell which would once have adorned a horse.
Many objects in the exhibition were too fragile, ancient or precious to be taken out of their protective display cases, of course, but we were given tactile representations of engraved tablets whose originals we couldn't touch.
After the lecture, we were taken up to the actual exhibition where the audio-describer talked us through the exhibits. There were some great sound effects, too, such as the noise of battle to accompany the military items on display, and bird song and lute music when we got to a picture of a garden scene.
Thank you, British Museum! As a lover of history, holding ancient objects is absolutely magical and it means so much more when, without this opportunity, I would have been left solely to rely on my imagination.

Bursitis is commonly diagnosed as the cause of pain in many areas of the body; you may have heard of it when people discuss their shoulder or hip. However, the condition is often not well understood and so I will explain here what bursitis is and why your might get pain referring from the bursa.
A bursa is a sac of fluid often found close to joints in the body. It is thought that we have around 160 bursae within the body meaning there are often several around each major joint. Each bursa helps to minimise friction between moving tissues that may rub against each other and cause irritation. These (usually small) sacs are lined with a membrane of synovium, which produces a lubricating fluid found within the bursa (synovial fluid). This synovial fluid is the same liquid found within all major moving joints of the body and is often likened to raw egg white in its appearance and consistency. Many nerve endings are found going to each bursae, making bursitis a common source of pain.
There are many potential causes of bursitis including infection, autoimmune disorders, trauma, and crystal deposition (gout and pseudogout). However, the focus here will be overuse bursitis meaning bursitis caused by mechanical stress on the bursa.
Figure 1: An example of the location of a hip bursa
As bursae are designed to reduce friction, they are capable of withstanding a reasonable amount of pressure and stress. After activity, a bursa may swell a small amount in response to a greater load or stress than what this bursa is usually accustomed to – this is not a pathological reaction but rather a normal reaction to increased loads. This small amount of swelling may cause some post-activity soreness that will settle over a few days.
There are times, though, where this inflammation is larger and does not subside quickly. The typical causes of this include:
Excessive biomechanical stresses of the bursa; often the result of weakness or poor technique
Reduced rest between activity
Large increases in activity levels than the body cannot adapt to
At these times the bursae are typically compressed at the same time as friction is applied by a moving part (i.e. tendon, bone). This creates an inflammatory response within the bursa, increasing the permeability of its capillary membrane and allowing it to fill with high protein fluid. The synovial membrane of the bursa then becomes granulated and fibrous. Over time, the inflamed bursa becomes thicker and occupies more space, creating ongoing friction, pain and inflammation. Chronic (long-term) bursitis often leads to weakening of both ligaments and tendons surrounding the bursa, and the likelihood of tendon rupture is increased.
One of the most important components of treating bursitis is to alleviate ongoing irritation to the bursa. Biomechanical loads often need to be altered, weaknesses addressed, and exercise and training schedules modified. These changes may be enough to allow the bursitis to resolve, however sometimes anti-inflammatory medication is used to accelerate this process in the form of creams, tablets or injections. It is very important that any bursitis condition is well assessed by your physio. They will help you implement the appropriate changes the loading on that bursa, and help you understand the reasons for your condition. If this is not done, it's likely your bursitis will return as soon as you return to the activity that first caused the irritation.
