Even the most avid readers of the Gospels cannot quite imagine the dramatic change of mood in Jesus' disciples from the afternoon of Good Friday till Easter morning. They had invested three years, three hard, intensive, exhilarating years with the one they believed would deliver Israel from its oppressors. Yet he did not sound like a revolutionary who could overthrow the Romans. He was more interested in attacking hypocrites and reaching out to lowlife outcasts.
Nevertheless, he sounded very convincing. The crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he had much more authority than did their regular teachers. And he could heal any disease, even raise up the dead. He made astonishing declarations about himself: 'Before Abraham was, I am,' he told a hostile Hebrew crowd, who well understood the implications of calling himself 'I am.' The disciples believed him, despite their moments of unbelief.
But now all seemed lost. Jesus was betrayed, tortured and put to death on a Roman gallows. And yet… a strange turn of events had occurred. Mary Magdalene had come to honour the tomb early Sunday morning and found the very large boulder blocking the entrance removed. Jesus' body was no longer there. She ran to tell Peter and John. They ran to the tomb. The biblical text tells us John outran Peter. Could it be? Could it be that all Jesus had said about being raised up the third day was somehow true?
We don't know all that was going on inside their minds. But the brilliant Swiss realist Eugène Burnand well captures their emotional state. Like children running to greet their beloved father home after a long trip or to discover the present they never imagined anyone would give them, John and Peter run to the tomb to verify what Mary had reported. John, wearing white, symbol of purity, clasps his hands like a football fan hoping against hope that his team will stay ahead to the end. Peter, somewhat older, his face wizened from numerous fishing trips, holds his hands to his chest – is it true? Am I about to see the one I so dearly love even though I denied him under pressure?
The genius of this painting is as much in what we don't see as in what we do see. Though John and Peter are gazing ahead, we must imagine what they behold by seeing through their eyes. Is this not the essence of faith? We know it is true, we know Jesus rose, but we have not actually seen him as yet.
Burnand was maligned during his life for resisting Modernism. Whereas painters like Gauguin and Van Gogh guided the viewer behind the visible into another reality, Burnand painted reality as he saw it. No icons here (well, almost none). He loved the Swiss countryside and often painted glorious pictures of the natural beauties of his beloved country. He also painted historical scenes, such as Flight of Charles the Bold, which presages moving pictures with its photographic realism.
Today, however, we recognize that there is much more to his work than naturalism. Particularly in his depictions of biblical scenes we are drawn into the dramatic and emotional intensity of events. In his Return of the Prodigal Son Burnand pictures himself not as the son but the father. We sense something of the father's emotions through his far-flung arms. Though of a very different era we are reminded of Rembrandt's Return of the Prodigal Son (1669) with the father's loving embrace of his son and compassionate, sorrowful joy.
Burnand's Peter and John Running to the Tomb invites us to believe, not with the complacency of merely subscribing to theological statements, but with the faith that says 'I believe, help my unbelief,' the faith that runs toward its object, the faith that sings with J.S. Bach's Easter Oratorio: Kommt, eilet und laufet – come, hurry and run!
Eugène Burnand: Peter and John Running towards the Grave, 1898, oil on canvas, 83 x 135 cm, Musée d'Orsay, Paris.
Eugène Burnand (1850-1921)was born on August 30, 1850 in Moudon, Canton de Vaud, Switzerland. He studied painting at l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Geneva with Barthélémy Menn, a realist master. In 1872 he moved to Paris to join the studio of landscape painter Jean-Léon Gérôme. Though known as a realist and drawn to the new art of photography, his paintings were far more than naturalist reproductions of people and scenes. A major influence was Jean-Francois Millet, who painted simple people in postures of prayer or gleaning the fields as in biblical times. Interestingly Millet had a great influence on Van Gogh, who often wrote about him in his diaries. Burnand is often compared and contrasted with Ferdinand Hodler, the realist artist from Berne, Switzerland, who was equally religious, but decidedly more expressionistic than Burnand, whose background was Calvinist. Burnand thought the emerging positivist philosophy of his day could provide him a greater sense of immediacy. There was considerable demand for large-scale religious paintings at the turn of the century, with America providing a solid market. After a good fifty years of a productive life Burnand died on 4 February 1921 in Paris, a little over 70 years old.

A new year always influences change. Whether it's more of this, less of that, or something of the new, most of us choose to make a New Year's pact with ourselves. Most commonly made, a "realistic resolution" which we attempt to tackle so vigorously during January, never sees the light of February despite our good intentions. Perhaps the key is to find something that's different, but easy to adjust to? Have a look at our list of knitting resolutions – maybe we can help you achieve one or two of them? You may even recognise a few?
Don't cast on until you cast off. A very wise one, especially when space (and needles) are limited. Try to finish a project before getting started on a new one, then you'll enjoy the satisfaction of completing something, while the anticipation of starting something new, looms.
Be Honest. If you find a half-finished project that you started over six months ago, be realistic. Give yourself one week to continue with it, or unravel it. And if you find a few, choose the two that you're most likely to continue, and free the rest – it'll make you feel great!
Socks and Scarves. Unless specifically asked for them, stay away from your knitting "comfort zone" of socks and scarves, to try something new. Even if it's just one project this year.
Spring Clean. Be it a crisp mid-March morning or a dreary November night, whatever the weather – let yourself enjoy the process of cleaning out your stash! Not only does it help the health and longevity of your yarn, but you never know what gems you find nuzzled in the back there… But try to remember – If you don't use it, then lose it!
Anjuli has a resolution to learn Fair Isle. She also wants to crochet "some epic granny square blankets", as she is involved in the Mood Blanket Project on Ravelry.
Heather simply wants to get from two balls to three balls on our Team Page!!
What are your New Year's resolutions? And have you stuck to them??
Rosie loves changing her hair colour, buttons and the rain. As a relatively new knitter with an Interior Design background, she loves to make cushion covers using chunky yarn. Especially colourful ones.
Last updated: January 19th, 2014.
To knit something for a baby boy expected this year, and something for big sister aged 2.
To make a pair of socks that fit!!
To back the farmyard wall hanging I made last year…and to display it on my wall!
Will definitely be trying the don't cast on until you cast off and the sorting of unfinished projects. Add to it to knit more…with two new grandchildren on the way to add to the three I have I will be dipping into all the lovely new books of patterns and using up my stash.

Revolving Doors: White & Case disputes partner joins the Bar as McGuireWoods; Covington and Simmons make key hires
Posted on 6 May 2014 04:00am 22 January 2018 15:49pm | Jaishree Kalia
Strategic recruitment Simmons & SimmonsWhite & Case Revolving doors
The latest standout lateral moves have seen White & Case litigator Paul Cowen return to the Bar as McGuireWoods expands its City restructuring offering with a hire from DLA Piper, and Covington & Burling and Simmons & Simmons boost their competition groups in Brussels with hires from Clifford Chance (CC) and Olswang respectively.
Cowen returns to the Bar after eleven years at White & Case. He joins 4 New Square's international arbitration, construction and dispute resolution team.
After being approached by the Bar on several occasions late last year, Cowen told Legal Business that it was 4 New Square's clear strategic objective and modern feel that attracted him. 'Its core strategic priorities are international arbitration and big ticket construction advice, which is what I do,' he said. '4 New Square is the modern face of the Bar – it does a lot of traditional work, but is open to new models of working. For example, they have a centralised IT system and its basic set up is similar to what I am used to in a firm.'
He added: 'I am a barrister in my DNA. The main question was "is this practical and does it work", and it will.'
Cowen was called to the Bar in 1996 and joined White & Case as a partner in 2008. He has experience of advising on non-contentious construction issues and contract negotiation, including building contracts, consultancy appointments, development agreements, collateral warranties, bonds and guarantees involving all forms of construction procurement.
Head of chambers, Ben Hubble QC added in a statement: 'This recruitment provides a great opportunity both for Paul and for 4 New Square. His experience as part of the team at White & Case will prove invaluable and further advances our long term strategy for growth in the commercial and construction, international litigation and arbitration fields.'
Elsewhere, DLA Piper's restructuring partner Simon Neilson-Clark has joined McGuireWoods in the firm's restructuring and insolvency group in London, where he will focus on representing stakeholders in UK and international financial restructuring, insolvency and dispute resolution. He comes with experience of advising borrowers, lenders, and insolvency practitioners involving international structures, as well as debt and equity investors in cross-border, leveraged and group structures.
Dion Hayes, chair of the McGuireWoods restructuring and insolvency department said: 'He has a tremendous amount of experience in large UK and cross-border restructurings and will greatly expand our capabilities in that area in London.'
In Brussels meanwhile, Covington & Burling has strengthened its EU competition practice with the hire of Clifford Chance partner Johan Ysewyn and Peter Camesasca, who returns to the US firm after a two-year stint running his own practice.
Ysewyn joins Covington as its European competition practice head and has experience of advising on international and Belgian antitrust law, including merger control, compliance, cartel and leniency issues, and abuse of dominance cases.
Camesasca has advised US and EU clients within the aviation, maritime transport, harbours and shipyards, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, electronics and semiconductor sectors. He joined Covington as a partner in March 2010 and left to run his own practice Peter Camesasca Advocaat BVBA in June 2012.
Covington's Brussels managing partner, Peter Bogaert said: 'The arrival of Johan and Peter's return to Covington are very exciting news for our European and broader international competition practice. It brings us fully on track with our plans to grow in Brussels, and we feel this is a watershed moment for the EU competition group, which produces cutting edge work for a range of clients, including AstraZeneca, Expedia, Microsoft, Samsung, and many others.'
Similarly, Simmons & Simmons has hired competition partner Koen Platteau from Olswang to its EU, competition and regulatory practice in Brussels. Platteau joined Olswang in 2008 and has represented clients before EU institutions, the Belgian Competition Authority and EU and national courts, on merger control, cartel cases and abuse of dominance cases, compliance programmes, competition litigation/arbitration and State aid matters.
Simmons & Simmons international dispute head Hans-Hermann Aldenhoff said: 'Koen's appointment will add further scale, not only to our EU, competition and regulatory practice, but to our Brussels office as a whole and we are looking forward to him joining this growing team.'

US results season: White & Case sees revenues increase 4% as PEP hits $1.87m
Posted on 12 February 2014 14:20pm 12 January 2018 15:39pm | Jaishree Kalia
Financial results 2013/14 White & Case US
Despite the recent relative economic revival in the US, the world's largest legal market remains turbulent but early numbers from major US players do indicate many firms are now sustaining growth. Early out of the gate, White & Case has published its 2013 financial results reporting a steady 4.1% increase in global revenues with profits per equity partner (PEP) rising 10%.
Gross turnover at the top-15 global firm increased to $1.44bn in 2013 from $1.38bn in the previous year. The New York-based law firm's revenue per lawyer grew at a similar level of 4.4% to $760,064 from $711,000, while its PEP rose to $1.87m from $1.7m, climbing 10%.
The firm's financial progress is comparable with its 2012 year when gross turnover was up 4% over 2011. The performance over the last two financial years will be welcome at White & Case, which has struggled for sustained growth since the banking crisis of 2008-09.
Speaking to Legal Business, City executive partner Oliver Brettle (pictured) said the firm had made substantial investments in its capital markets, disputes and merger and acquisitions (M&A) practice areas in 2013 and focused on growing these teams across its European network.
The firm boosted its global capital markets capability in July last year when a debt capital markets team from Allen & Overy joined its Milan office, including partner Paola Leocani.
In March, the 2,000-lawyer firm also recruited Latham & Watkins' local corporate head Juan Manuel de Remedios to launch its Spanish corporate practice, and added five capital markets partners in Paris – three of which were former Linklaters partners – in February.
More recently, the firm hired Linklaters private equity partners Richard Youle and Ian Bagshaw, who resigned to join the firm's City arm in October 2013.
Brettle added: 'In recent years we've reinforced our commitment to clients with significant strategic investment across priority areas. We delivered another encouraging set of results in 2013 which continued to build on the success of recent years. I'm hopeful that further progress will be made during 2014 and beyond.'
Firm-wide chairman Hugh Verrier commented: 'I am pleased with our investments over the last few years, and with the strides we're taking for the longer term.'
Comment: 2006 and all that – an oh-so-familiar mess at Linklaters
Corporate LinklatersWhite & Case
The most hackneyed cliché of the pundit is history repeating itself, a claim that rarely holds up upon closer examination. But with the recent departure of Linklaters' private equity co-heads Ian Bagshaw and Richard Youle for White & Case, well, sometimes you just can't escape the past.
Personality clashes, a mid-market practice not gelling with Linklaters' M&A business, finance supposedly not supporting sponsor clients, prolonged rumours over exit talks, and, finally, a dramatic exit to a big spending US rival; yes, it's 2006 all over again when Graham White and Raymond McKeeve quit for Kirkland & Ellis.
All in, it's better that this was resolved than the soap opera kept running – no wonder Linklaters' management asked for a pledge of loyalty from the pair following earlier discussions with Ropes & Gray and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson.
Still, it's a set-back for Linklaters that over a decade after embarking on its bid to become a force in private equity, it has a practice that not only lacks the potency expected of Silk Street, but one in which it can't even retain partners. With due respect to Sweden and its lawyers, you don't expect to be drafting in partners from Stockholm to re-enforce your City operation.
The departure earlier this year of Chris Howard for Sullivan & Cromwell had deprived Youle and Bagshaw of one finance partner comfortable with leveraged buyouts but, given the depth and calibre of Linklaters' deal finance team, it's hard to see lack of debt coverage being a problem.
Linklaters is a superb firm but it seems at present to struggle to sustain the trick seen at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Slaughter and May of balancing institution-wide links in corporate with that splash of entrepreneurial drive essential to the best M&A teams; there's just a little too much office politics these days. At least it can reboot with a practice more fitting its business and sensibility and now the firm boasts a broader buyout team than back in 2006. But, for Linklaters, you have to wonder if the goal of having a self-standing private equity team – as opposed to functional coverage – is really worth the trouble.
And White & Case? Well, the reputed multi-million dollar, multi-year guaranteed deal certainly looks aggressive. You have to give the firm credit in one regard – after its European banking team was gutted in 2010 by Latham & Watkins, the firm has come back swinging in a far more emphatic style than expected. But many would question how smoothly the strong-willed pair will integrate into White & Case, a firm which has also had more than its fair share of office politics in London.
The wider backdrop has changed in one key respect from 2006. Despite prolonged convulsions in the debt markets severely cutting the buying power of private equity houses, it has turned out that client portability has trumped deal size; US advisers have continued a steady and sustained encroachment into the City private equity market at the expense of London's finest.
White & Case may not look the most threatening in this regard but there is no shortage of rivals out there. With Charlie Geffen prompted to re-examine his options last month – US law firms will surely try to secure one of the genuine heavyweights of the City buyout scene.

Linklaters private equity ambitions dealt a blow by departure of Bagshaw and Youle
Posted on 17 October 2013 10:59am 12 January 2018 15:36pm | David Stevenson
Strategic recruitment LinklatersWhite & Case Corporate
Linklaters' now decade-long effort to carve a credible position in the private equity market has been dealt a serious blow as co-heads Ian Bagshaw (pictured) and Richard Youle leave to join White & Case.
The high profile pair, long-term friends having started their careers together at Eversheds, had to build the Magic Circle firm's private equity practice almost from scratch after the departure of Graham White and Raymond McKeeve in 2007, although it has been an enduring irony that their own reputations in private equity exceed that of the firm.
Youle, who joined the 2509-lawyer firm in 2001 from SJ Berwin (becoming a partner in 2006) and Bagshaw, who moved across from Clifford Chance in 2007, are credited with building a dedicated team of lawyers whose buyout expertise is supplemented by Linklaters' strong banking, restructuring and high-yield capabilities. Newly promoted Alex Woodward, while still comparatively junior, shows significant promise.
But while the City buyout pair have undoubtedly pushed the private equity practice comfortably into the mid-market on the back of clients including HgCapital and Montagu Private Equity, many feel it has yet to make enough ground with leading sponsor clients.
News of Bagshaw and Youle's departure will cause a stir in the private equity market but comes as no surprise, as the pair have been in talks with a number of US firms, including most recently Ropes & Gray and Fried Frank. It was these discussions with other firms that ultimately brought the pair's future at Linklaters to a head, with two independent sources suggesting that it led to an internal ultimatum.
The move comes as White & Case' London office pushes hard to raise its profile, having recently hired Kirkland & Ellis private equity star Ross Allardice. The top 15 Global 100 firm today (17 October) welcomed the duo, with head of global M&A John Reiss commenting: 'As the European economy continues its recovery, private equity in Europe will see increasing opportunities. The addition of these talented individuals will allow us to capitalise on these opportunities.'
However, rivals have yet to be convinced of the business case, with one leading private equity partner commenting: 'I've more money on Linklaters doing well in private equity than White & Case, and another adding: 'Linklaters are still a world class firm.'
A statement from Linklaters said: 'We thank Ian and Richard for their contribution to the firm and wish them all the best in their future careers.
'Linklaters has considerable strength in depth in its global private equity team and dual strength in both private equity and banking. We remain committed to providing our clients with excellent service in this area.'
The private equity market has been particularly fluid this year, with David Walker having left Clifford Chance for Latham & Watkins while Raymond McKeeve recently joined Jones Day from Berwin Leighton Paisner.

Aviation: Further consolidation predicted as Aegean acquisition of Olympic approved
Competition Baker McKenzieWhite & Case Europe
Aviation lawyers expect further consolidation within the airline industry as Aegean Airlines was on Wednesday (9 October) given the all clear to buy troubled Olympic Air, led by White & Case and Baker & McKenzie.
The European Commission (EC) took the first-time step of reversing its earlier decision to block an acquisition attempt in 2011, approving the buyout from investment group Marfin.
Aegean was represented by White & Case led by Brussels-based competition partners Mark Powell and Assimakis Komninos. Baker's competition partner Gavin Bushell, also based in Brussels, assisted Aegean on the transaction.
Komninos said: 'The decision is very welcome news for the Greek airline sector and for Greek passengers as it will permit badly needed consolidation that will allow Aegean to compete more aggressively on the European stage.'
One aviation partner at a top City firm added: 'The Olympic Air saga was a Greek tragedy. The EC had ruled [in 2002] that the airline had received illegal state aid that must be paid back. With Greece on its knees Olympic collapsed into insolvency.'
The EC's decision to reverse its 2011 ruling was largely based on the fact that if Aegean was not permitted to acquire Olympic, it would cease trading. As reported by Reuters, EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said: 'It is clear that, due to the ongoing Greek crisis and given Olympic's own very difficult financial situation, Olympic would be forced to leave the market soon in any event,' adding that the merger would have no additional negative effect on competition.
The move comes as aviation lawyers predict further consolidation at the smaller end of the market, with one aviation partner commenting: 'People are still making money in aviation, although it is a difficult period for the industry. I fully expect some airlines to go bust this winter.'
This situation is in stark contrast with the proposed $11bn merger between dominant American Airlines and US Airways, which was blocked by the US Justice Department this summer. The deal, which would have created the world's biggest airline, saw a clutch of leading US firms secure roles including Latham & Watkins, Weil Gotshal & Manges, Paul Hastings, Debevoise & Plimpton and K&L Gates.
White & Case continues capital markets drive as Milan boasts full DCM suite
Posted on 2 July 2013 12:07pm 31 October 2017 15:28pm | Jaishree Kalia
Strategic recruitment White & Case Italy
White & Case has made no secret of its strategic objective to boost its global capital markets capability and last week saw a debt capital markets (DCM) team join in Milan from Magic Circle rival Allen & Overy (A&O).
A&O's DCM and regulatory partner Paola Leocani (pictured) joins the Milan office alongside counsel Elena Radicella Chiaramonte, two senior associates, an associate and two trainees.
Rated by Legal 500 as third-tier for ECM and DCM in Italy, White & Case claims that it is now one of the only firms in the region with a full spectrum of capital markets and regulatory services across products, at a time when Italy has seen a decrease in bank lending and a corresponding growth in DCM.
Milan executive partner Michael Immordino told Legal Business: 'The Milan office is unique in offering the whole range of capital markets instruments, including US registered bonds, Yankee bonds, US private placements, high-yield bonds and Eurobonds. In addition to providing top tier regulatory advice, Paola enhances our European and Italian domestic debt capital market expertise.
'At a time when companies are resorting more to the capital markets instead of the traditional bank credit market, Paola's excellent reputation and legal skills will be particularly beneficial to White & Case clients.' White & Case recently advised Italian engineering and construction group Maire Tecnimont on its rights issue announced on 28 June.
The firm is keen not to be labeled as a one trick pony, and Immordino adds: 'We are not just a securities firm, we are doing bank finance work and M&A work as well.'
However, so far capital markets is very much the flavor of the year; the move comes less than five months since White & Case hired a four-partner team from Linklaters in Paris and launched in Madrid in March, with the hire of Latham & Watkins M&A and capital markets partner Juan Manuel De Remedios.
The firm last week announced it will launch in Dubai, after obtaining a licence to practise in the emirate. However, the staffing details and focus of the office is unknown yet, and it is understood that a team of lawyers may be relocated to run the new office as an extension of its operations in Abu Dhabi.
City lawyers say court strike will cause minimal disruption but should be given due attention
Posted on 17 June 2013 13:26pm 22 January 2018 15:49pm | Sarah Downey
Legal affairs Hogan LovellsWhite & Case
As court staff go on strike this afternoon (17 June) in protest at the Ministry of Justice's (MoJ's) plans to cut £220m off the annual criminal legal aid budget, it is with the support of many City lawyers.
The unusual move comes as the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) last week claimed the MoJ's plans could breach human rights laws and as lawyers warn that cuts made to civil legal aid earlier this year are already leading to a significant increase in pro bono requests and in areas outside of their expertise.
The strikes are not expected to cause disruption to existing cases – a HM Courts & Tribunals spokesperson said the courts are 'aiming for business as usual', while Hogan Lovells confirmed to Legal Business that one of its trials scheduled for today will continue regardless.
The court has put in place 'robust contingency plans' which prioritise delivery of its most essential services including custody cases and urgent family cases.
However, lawyers point out that with no history of striking, any kind of industrial action by court staff should be taken seriously.
John Reynolds, head of litigation at White and Case, said: 'The people who work in the justice system are not known for being militant. When any part of the public sector not known for that goes on strike, it makes a big impact as it shows that normally mild mannered people have been pushed beyond the limit that they're used to. It should make an impact.'
The strikes come after several hundred lawyers blocked the road outside the MoJ in central London earlier this month in protest against the cuts.
In a further blow to the MoJ's plans, the EHRC last week (13 June) warned the Government that the proposed cuts could breach equality and human rights laws by excluding vulnerable people from access to justice, and proposed that it should run pilots for some proposals, a sentiment echoed by Legal Business guest blogger, fiscal realist and former government lawyer Carl Gardner.
Mark Hammond, chief executive of the EHRC, said: 'The Commission recognises that the need to curb public spending applies to all public services, and agrees with the government that the taxpayer is entitled to the best possible value for money. But any budget cuts that are made to the administration of justice must preserve the basic rights of fair and equal access to the courts including for those who cannot afford to pay for a lawyer.'
Lawyers say they have already seen a significant increase in requests for pro bono work since cuts to civil legal aid came into force this year under the Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012.
Hogan Lovells City partner and commercial litigator Crispin Rapinet said: 'From the pro bono point of view here in London, we're already seeing the effects quite dramatically and since April have experienced a rise in the number of requests from members of the public for free legal service providers.'
The firm has seen a particular increase in requests for advice on family work in relation to access to children and complex divorce case, as well as immigration, according to the firm's international pro bono manager Yasmin Waljee, who said: 'It's difficult for us because that's not our area of expertise. All of those [requests] would have normally gone to legal aid firms but now people are getting increasingly desperate and looking elsewhere for help.'
Reynolds added: 'However unfair it is, one can only take on so many cases.'
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling has accused lawyers of making 'over the top' claims about legal aid cuts as he warned that spending on criminal cases must fall to protect NHS budgets.

White & Case launches in Madrid with Latham hire
Posted on 1 April 2013 13:17pm 31 October 2017 14:59pm | Jaishree Kalia
Spain Latham & WatkinsWhite & Case
White & Case has launched its first office in Spain, recruiting Latham & Watkins' Spanish corporate head Juan Manuel de Remedios to joint lead its new Madrid office as an executive partner.
The Spanish launch comes as the firm concentrates on strengthening its global footprint to take advantage of Spain's strong links to Latin America.
White & Case Spanish practice head Michael Doran, who is based in London, said the Madrid launch 'provides our clients with local knowledge coupled with access to our global network'.

Leadership White & Case Global London
The continued exodus of high-profile partners from White & Case's City operation suggests the Global London leader still has serious management issues. It's time someone took charge
In last year's Global London issue, White & Case's newly appointed London executive partner Oliver Brettle reacted defiantly to LB's suggestion that the office had morale issues. It wasn't correct that 'one or two vocal former members of the team should give rise to a more general impression that there is a problem with morale in the office', he insisted.


When the best simply isn't enough.
A quality suit is good, a nice watch is a must, but without a decent pair of shoes your first impression is likely to sink. Everyone says they're the first thing people notice, well before your slick haircut or the Explorer you just finished paying off.
Shoes, gents, are meant to be serious business. Most men that are serious about their shoes identify a preference early on and rarely budge. Some like the weighty durability of English shoemaking. Others prefer Italian shoes for their sleek, lightweight shape. An increasing number think both preceding options can get stuffed, and find their footwear in emerging Japanese or Spanish markets.
The D'Marge crew are pretty open-minded, which is why we've collected a list of the leading global contenders and best shoemakers to start you off on the right foot (sorry).
Outside the established triumvirate of shoemaking sits Spanish brand Carmina. Originating in 1866 as a family-oriented operation, Carmina have steadily expanded across the globe without sacrificing their demanding production values. Carmina shoes aren't disposable fast-fashion pieces of crap you buy for a season and then toss into a donation bin.
Their lasts – fifteen different variations accommodating differing foot shapes and aesthetic preferences – take several months to sculpt. Much of the process is performed by hand, using reputable and historic Goodyear welt stitching that'll allow resoles every few years. Carmina shoes are priced around the 800 bones mark for an entry-level pair, making them a good starting point if your budget is a little tight but you're keen to get around premium footwear.
Founded in 1849 in England, John Lobb shoemakers are characterised by the hallmarks of traditional English shoemaking, primarily employing a Goodyear welt, premium leather, and over six weeks of painstaking handcrafting in their Northampton factory. Besides John Lobb's fastidious production and local heritage, the brand has earned fame for being the preferred shoemaker of HRH Charles, who is known to sport a pair of bespoke oxfords that he's owned since the early seventies (and they happen to look better at thirty years old than most department store shoes look fresh out of the box).
A true investment, John Lobb shoes can be worn, resoled, and worn again without needing replacement. Buyer beware, however, in that a pair of readymade John Lobb stompers will set you back a shade over 3k. But we think that's a small price to pay, for a pair of shoes that could accompany you through well over three decades of running for the bus and evaluating whether to take the lift or the stairs.
You've probably noticed there are a lot of posh English names on this list, but there's a solid reason behind it. Founded in the late 19th century by Charles Jones and Sir James Crockett, the Northampton-based company is still owned and operated by the fourth generation of the original founding families. Like other English shoemakers, Crockett & Jones prefer a durable, long-lasting Goodyear welt.
They also use a meticulous eight-stage construction process that ensures their shoes meet rigorous standards. Daniel Craig's James Bond wore Crockett & Jones footwear in both Skyfall and Spectre, emphasising that C & J continue to enjoy contemporary relevance in a crowded footwear market.
Edward Green was established with humble origins in 1890 by a former shoemaker's apprentice, who managed a Northampton factory that quickly grew into one of England's household names in shoemaking. Although no longer English owned, Edward Green is still based in Northampton, England, the traditional bastion of English shoemaking and one of the last remaining heritage producers of premium footwear.
Edward Green prefer a more considered, protracted approach – only about 350 pairs are made by their local craftsmen per week. Appropriately, they use Goodyear Welts, luxurious full grain leather, and hand-cut patterns that don't leave the production floor until they meet the unwavering standards that have guided production for over a century.
Unsuited to the Fashion Week wanker, Edward Green shoes aren't particularly trendy. Instead, they're designed for the discreet, classically-minded gent that prefers tradition over novelty.
George Cleverley is operated by a (ridiculously stylish) father-son duo, George Glasgow Snr and George Glasgow Jnr, who inherited the intimidating legacy of the company from its eponymous creator. Cleverley have several workshops across England, including Northampton, and have serviced an eclectic group of clients ranging from Winston Churchill, to David Beckham and the Rolling Stone's Charlie Watts.
George Cleverley offer the distinctive English footwear experience, with Goodyear welting and masculine understatement, but you can find quirkier options like monk strap brogues and skull-and-crossbones slippers. These guys also decked out the cast of Kingsman, and are set to perform the same function in the upcoming sequel.
Established in 1999, Japanese bespoke shoemakers Hiro Yanagimachi are relative newcomers to luxury footwear, but they'd be the first to tell you that they're making up for lost time. Yanagimachi was trained in England at a technical college and by John Lobb, bringing English pedigree to a relatively young Japanese bespoke market.
They use premium calf leather and are primarily handmade through the entire process. Unlike the other brands on this list that have ready-to-wear kit, H.Y. only offers made to order (MTO), semi bespoke, and full bespoke options, so they're suited to guys with time to burn and a generous budget. Hiro personally fits most customers and offers two different lasts to accommodate difficult foot shapes. You can find him in his workshop in Tokyo or at international trunk shows.
It might sound like another posh English enterprise, but J.M. Weston are in fact French, and have competed with their transcontinental rivals since 1891. Weston's production process is centralised in a single workshop in Limoges, France. They primarily use Goodyear welt construction, and their customers famously return to the original workshop after ten or twenty years of thrashing for a resole.
Their primary aesthetic is to infuse classic English style with a Gallic lens, incorporating less traditional styles into their annual collections. Weston are also one of the few contemporary footwear brands to own their own tannery, allowing them to control almost the entire production process. Their most famous model is black calf 180 moccasin loafer, which starts at a touch under a grand on Mr Porter.
Santoni originated as a family-operated workshop in 1975, and have retained this intimate focus through international expansion and collaborations with big names like IWC. Santoni employ Goodyear welting, a feature more common in English footwear, but this gives them the opportunity to re-sole shoes after prolonged use.
They refuse to export construction, and still make their shoes by hand in Italy. Alongside the roster of traditional business shoes, Santoni also offer sneakers and loafers to bolster your casual footwear game. They can be found in boutiques or on Mr Porter if you can't find a bricks and mortar location nearby.
Established in 2012, Antonio Meccariello might seem young and untested, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Besides generations of family experience, he's collaborated with Rubinacci and managed a workshop for luxury fashion house Kiton, before exploring a personal enterprise that many believe has helped return Italian shoemaking to international prominence.
Meccariello personally consults and fits his clients in a workshop outside Naples. He uses a hand-welted construction method that completely excludes gluing from the process, promising additional durability. Meccariello offers everything from bespoke to a modest RTW selection, so there's something for almost any budgetary or lifestyle requirement.
A relatively obscure boutique, TYE Shoemakers are a bespoke-only outfit from Tokyo, founded in 2011. The TYE bespoke process occurs over three fittings: the first consultation involves taking measurements and discussing design, before a second fitting with a trial shoe and a final appointment to ensure no imperfections are present on the finished production.
TYE prefers hand-welted construction, and consciously endeavour to avoid imitating European aesthetic choices in their design. The TYE Shoemaking experience isn't for the impatient shopper, as their footwear has an eight-month turnaround. You can't be a tightarse either. A pair of TYE's will set you back well over three grand (you'll also need to make the trek to Japan, no trunk shows).
Operating as Bespoke Makers, Ryo Hosokawa is an elusive Japanese bespoke enthusiast. His simple ethos is tributary – finding and circulating the successes of the world's best bespoke makers. Operating several social media channels, Ryo hopes to give bespoke artisans the exposure to preserve some of their artisanal heritage.
Hosokawa doesn't play favourites. Here you can find obscure Japanese bespokeries next to London heavyweights like George Cleverly and Foster & Son. In addition to a formidable selection of bespoke and readymade shoes, Ryo also catalogues bespoke menswear, of which you can see a glimpse on their Instagram feed.
If you don't have time to do the sleuthing yourself, Hosokawa's efforts can simplify a dense market and show you who is worth watching out for in the world of bespoke menswear.
A history which spans centuries and a brand which is one of the editor's favourite is Church's. Dating all the way back to 1675, the Church family hailed from Northhampton, a town which was known for it's leather and shoemaking skills. Today Church's is one of the world's iconic footwear brands making some of the most sublime loafers, oxfords, brogues and boots. Most pairs are hand made in the UK, so you know you're buying a top quality product.

Antimaheia or Antimachia
The village of Antimaheia is situated in the center of the island, on a plateau, right next to the airport. It is one of the oldest communities of the island dating back more than 3.000 years. The deme of the Antimahids already existed during the classical period (4th century bC) and took its name from Antimahos, son of Herakles (check our relevant post on the cult and worship of this mythical hero in Kos). Inhabitants of Kos used to live inland thereby avoiding confrontations with pirates, brigands and Ottomans that used to control the seas.
On 23 April 1933, a terrible earthquake of 5,4 magnitude and with Antimahia as its epicentre, shook the island of Kos. Two people died in Antimahia, 200 were injured, most of the village's houses collapsed, while churches and country chapels suffered great damage. This destruction resulted in the creation of the coastal settlement of Mastichari.
The village is very spread out and therefore quite difficult to visit by foot. It is currently home to some 2000 to 3000 people, most of which are farmers or employed in the tourism industry. There is a traditional house to visit as well as the priest's windmill which is up and running. The castle of Antimaheia is relatively near the village of Antimachia and used to shelter the local population in times of peril. Last but not least a honey festival is organized around August and people can enjoy some of the local honey and other delicacies, as well as traditional music and dancing.
The village of Antimaheia has the following settlements:
a) Agioi Apostoloi, in the northern part of the village.
b) Agia Triada, in the southern part of the village.
c) Panayia to Proskynima, also called Skordallou, in the western part of the village.
d) Mastihari, a noteworthy seaside hamlet located 5 km to the north of the village.

Let's Celebrate National Hamburger Month!
Yep, it's time to celebrate one of America's favorite foods—the hamburger. The varieties are endless, from the simple classic on a sesame bun with ketchup, to exotic combos highlighting buffalo meat, pretzel buns, fried eggs, and baby greens. Whatever your favorite combination is, take your part in the celebration by whipping up these mini burgers. They're the perfect size for little hands to help prepare and gobble up!
anything else you and your kids come up with!
Place the ground beef in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper, then add the barbeque sauce. With clean hands, squish and squash until all ingredients are mixed in. (Kids love that part!) Next, take about 1/4 cup of meat, and make it into a patty shape. Cook the burgers in a skillet over medium heat until cooked to desired doneness—we recommend medium well for burgs. Slice rolls in half, and top with burger patty and toppings.
Serve with healthy snacks like veggies or fruit and dip. Enjoy!

Why It Pays to Advance from an Associate to Bachelor's Degree
It pays to advance from an associate degree to a bachelor's degree because a bachelor's degree is more desirable, and often required, by many employers. That reality is reflected in a lower unemployment rate and higher average wages for those with a 4-year degree, compared to those with an associate degree.
Pete Davies
Director of Product Marketing
When Tony Bartczak applied to become a quality engineer at his company in 2013, he was disappointed to learn that he wouldn't be eligible for the position. Despite 20 years of experience in quality assurance, the position required a bachelor's degree and Bartczak did not have one.
"That was the kick in the pants that I needed to go back to school," Bartczak said.
Bartczak, who is just shy of his 60th birthday, started taking courses at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) in 2013, and earned his Associate of Science in Business Administration in 2016. Now, he is just a few courses away from moving from an associate to a bachelor's degree in project management, an achievement he believes will help him advance his career before retirement.
Bartczak's experience is not unique. In today's competitive workforce, a growing number of jobs require an advanced education. If you're looking to further your career – and perhaps boost your earning potential – it pays to advance from an associate to a bachelor's degree.
The Difference Between Bachelor's and Associate Degrees
The most basic difference between a bachelor's degree and an associate degree is the time it takes to complete the degree program. Associate degrees are typically 2-year programs, while bachelor's degree programs are typically 4 years and delve more deeply into the area of study.
Because of the shorter timeframe, associate degrees are often more affordable than bachelor's degree programs. If you're just beginning your higher education journey, an associate degree can serve as an introduction to higher education and provide a key stepping stone to a 4-year degree.
"A bachelor's degree can provide a greater depth of knowledge in a field, alongside general education courses that teach students transferable skills," said SNHU career advisor Grace Donahue. "Certain careers and employers place an emphasis on a bachelor's degree rather than an associate because it can offer greater long-term flexibility for students and show that they have the ability to learn new skills over time."
While there are many job opportunities available for workers with associate degrees, a bachelor's degree can certainly give a job applicant a competitive edge, said SNHU career advisor Peter Bartell.
This competitive edge is especially important in today's highly educated workforce, as more U.S. workers are earning 4-year degrees than ever before and more jobs require a bachelor's degree or higher.
Advancing Careers with a Bachelor's Degree
According to a 2017 U.S. Census Bureau report, 33.4% of American adults have a 4-year college degree - the highest level ever measured by the bureau and a sharp increase from the 28% of Americans who had a college degree just 10 years earlier.
Similarly, a growing number of U.S. employers are looking for workers with a 4-year degree. By 2020, 65% of all jobs will require postsecondary education, with 35% requiring at least a bachelor's degree, according to a report from Georgetown Public Policy Institute's Center on Education and the Workforce.
In this competitive hiring environment, many workers are finding that it pays - literally - to advance from an associate degree to a bachelor's degree. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), workers with at least a bachelor's degree experience lower levels of unemployment and have higher weekly earnings than those with an associate degree.
Unemployment rates for workers with an associate degree were 3.4% in 2017, compared to just 2.5% for workers with a bachelor's degree, according to BLS data. Median weekly earnings were also higher for bachelor's degree holders, at $1,173 compared to just $836 for associate degree holders - a difference of more than $17,000 over the course of a year.
Bartczak said he's hopeful he'll experience this kind of career growth when he completes his bachelor's degree. He's worked toward his degree while working full-time and balancing family obligations, but said the hard work has paid off in helping him move forward in his career even after decades in the industry.
"I am confident that when I complete my bachelor's degree that more opportunities will surely be available to me," he said. "Personally, it has helped me grow and has boosted my confidence that I can overcome obstacles and keep moving forward. I am very proud of my 3.8 GPA thus far."
I Have My Associate Degree - Now What?
Transferring an associate degree to a bachelor's degree can be a daunting prospect, especially if you're working full-time and balancing family obligations. If you want to make the move from an associate degree to a bachelor's degree, there are a few things you should consider first.
"Absolutely do your research," Donahue said. "The internet offers us access to so many tools that can help you as you explore possible degrees and outcomes. Explore tools like LinkedIn, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, O*Net and Glassdoor. Most importantly, I recommend that all students speak to as many people as they can about their possible interests and complete informational interviews with family, friends and co-workers to understand what pathways are recommended for certain career outcomes."
Luckily, there are many options in today's higher education world that make moving from an associate degree to a bachelor's degree easier. Many associate degree credits transfer directly to a bachelor's degree program, fast-tracking your ability to earn a four-year degree. SNHU even partners with community colleges around the country to seamlessly transfer credits from associate and bachelor degree programs. Online bachelor's degree programs allow you to work at your own pace and complete your coursework around your schedule at work and at home.
By earning a bachelor's degree you'll be on your way to advancing your career and boosting your earning potential throughout your lifetime.
"There are definitely more opportunities for graduates with a bachelor's degree," said Bartell. "Once (an employee is) on board, it's easier for department managers to justify promotions for someone that has a bachelor's degree versus someone that has less... I always recommend a bachelor's degree at least just for monetary and job prospect purposes."

How to rent a Tesla for under $200 a day
By Reed Alexander
Published: Sept 1, 2017 10:57 p.m. ET
And 5 other luxe cars you can rent short-term
ReedAlexander
It's the AirBnb of cars.
You can now rent a slick electricity-powered Tesla for a few hundred dollars on Turo.com, a website where owners make big bucks by renting out their sweet rides.
"Modern marvels of masterful engineering and efficiency, Teslas are also beautiful, high performance, and crazy fun cars to drive," Turo's website reads.
If you're in New York City, you can rent a Tesla on Turo throughout the month of September for prices from $194 per day for a 2013 Tesla Model S sedan, up to $271 per day for 2014 Model S. In Los Angeles, prices for Tesla's vary from $165 for a 2016 Model S, up to $375 for a Model X truck, and in San Francisco, prices run from $194 up to $500 a day, all for Model S sedans.
But these aren't the only luxury cars you can rent. Rob Ferretti, chief operating officer at Gotham Dream Cars, an upscale automobile rental service, told Moneyish that his company's fleet of more than 300 vehicles — which includes brands like Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Range Rover — are rented by the rich and famous and ordinary customers alike.
"Seven out of ten customers can't afford to purchase one [of these cars]," Ferretti said. "Some people rent them for events or to be seen as jewelry or an accessory to go out on the town. A lot of people rent them just to drive around Times Square, South Beach or LA — generally it's more of an accessory than anything."
These cars tend to come with eye-popping price tags but, the good news is, the longer you rent, the more affordable they get, Ferretti notes. "Depending on the length of time you're renting, the per day rate goes down the longer you rent," he says, adding that renters who reserve a car for long periods like a month wouldn't be required to pay the standard daily rate.
Here are a few other luxe rental cars you can score for hefty daily price tags:
1. Rolls-Royce Phantom: There's a longstanding debate over whether it's better to drive a Rolls-Royce, or to be driven. But if you're in the mood to get behind the wheel, you can rent one from Gotham Dream Cars in Beverly Hills for rates between $1,250 to $3,150 a day. That might sound high, but compare it to the sticker price of a freshly-minted Rolls: a cool $348,000.

2. Bentley Continental GT Speed: If you're in the mood to cruise down Rodeo Drive in LA, Lombard Street in San Francisco, or the Strip in Las Vegas, this stylish Bentley convertible might be your vehicle of choice. It'll cost you — Gotham Dream Cars has it listed for rates fluctuating between $1,495 and $3,390 a day. Sticker price to purchase a new one? $266,125

3. Lamborghini Aventador: This futuristic Italian sports car looks like a cross between a convertible and the Batmobile, with doors that open vertically, a powerful engine, and a geometric body. The car starts at $3,495 a day to rent from Imagine Lifestyles Luxury Rentals, with similar models priced at $295,000 to buy from other retailers.

4. Aston Martin DB9: There's a reason why this is the car of choice for James Bond — so make like 007 and step behind the wheel of one of these yourself. As part of Enterprise Rental Car's Exotic Collection, you can unleash your inner spy for about $1500 per day if you're in the Los Angeles area. If you'd like to buy one instead, you'll have to cough up $202,775 for a 2016 model.

5) Bugatti: Speeding straight to the most expensive spot on the list is the Bugatti Veyron. A car that most will only see in pictures, it's the storied subject of rapper Ace Hood's 2013 hit "I Woke Up in a New Bugatti," which has racked up 251 million views on YouTube. You can wake up in a new Bugatti, too, thanks to Diamond Exotic Rentals' Veyron — which rents for a jaw-dropping $25,000 a day (plus a $100,000 security deposit). That's a steal compared to the car's MSRP, though: $1.7 million.

The 2WTA-B is a 2-wire, photoelectric i3 smoke detector with built in 135 degree F heat detection and sounder.
Throughout the i3 series, installation is simple with its installer-friendly base and plug-in design. The base accommodates a broad range of back box and direct mounting options and provides ample space for pre-wiring the device. To complete the installation, the i3 detector plugs into its base with a simple Stop-Drop 'N Lock action.
To reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms, all i3 detectors are equipped with both drift compensation and smoothing algorithms. These capabilities minimize both short- and long-term causes of nuisance alarms, such as RF interference and dust accumulation. When connected to the 2W-MOD2 loop test/maintenance module or an i3 Ready™ panel, 2‑wire i3 detectors can generate a remote maintenance signal when in a maintenance or freeze trouble condition. To measure the sensitivity of any i3 detector, the SENS-RDR displays the reading, in terms of percent-per-foot obscuration, within seconds.
i3 has red and green LEDs to simplify local status indication during power-up, standby, alarm, maintenance, and freeze trouble conditions. When in alarm, i3 sounder models generate an 85 dB temporal tone. If connected to the RRS-MOD reversing relay/synchronization module, all i3 sounders on the loop will activate when one detector is in alarm. The RRS-MOD also synchronizes i3 sounder output to ensure a clear audible signal.
Should the application call for differentiating between a local and a general alarm, the i3 line offers an isolated thermal model, which initiates a local alarm when smoke is detected, and a general alarm when the thermal sensor is activated.

GRUNT is an artist-run centre founded in 1984 in Vancouver, BC. Glenn Alteen, artist and Program Director of the grunt, is acting on behalf of Al Neil and Carole Itter, well known senior artists and long-time residents of the last remaining foreshore dwelling on the Burrard Inlet, to assist in saving the little blue cabin from demolition, and to find it a permanent home and use. Joining forces with Barbara Cole, artist, curator and Executive Director of Other Sights for Artists' Projects, a non-profit arts organization that presents temporary art projects in public spaces, and Esther Rausenberg, artist and Executive Director of the Eastside Culture Crawl and Co Artistic Director of Creative Cultural Collaboration Society, this group of concerned artists and producers are working together to ensure this culturally significant dwelling has a future.
The cabin was sitting on pylons on Port Metro Vancouver property between Cates Park and what was the old MacKenzie Barge operation on the North Shore. The MacKenzie Barge site was purchased by Polygon Homes for a condominium development. Part of Polygon's requirements from the District of North Vancouver and Port Metro was to remediate the site, including the foreshore where the cabin was located. Polygon has assisted with the costs of moving the cabin to a temporary storage site 5.4 km away.
The project involved coordinating several companies that had agreed to contribute to saving the cabin.
To date, the cabin has successfully been moved to a temporary place. A direct truck access to the cabin had to be built. Assessment is in progress to determine restoration needs. Also, efforts are underway to identify a permanent place and use for the cabin.

Травники () — военнослужащие, призванные в ходе начального периода Великой Отечественной войны в Красную Армию с территории оккупированных нацистской Германией районов и областей Советского Союза и впоследствии, после попадания в плен, сотрудничавшие с немецкими оккупационными властями в генерал-губернаторстве до освобождения Польши в 1945 году. Являясь «добровольными помощниками» вермахта, они несли службу в его вспомогательных частях.

Так, в сентябре 1941 года — сентябре 1942 годов в  прошло подготовку более 2,5 тысяч будущих военнослужащих шуцманшафта; к концу же 1944 года численность выпускников лагеря составила 5 082 человека. Из их числа были упомплектованы два батальона . Однако в ходе проведения зачисток из батальонов дезертировало около тысячи человек. В батальонах особого назначения, помимо захваченных в плен военнослужащих Красной Армии, несли службу и фольксдойче. Это обуславливалось тем, что, проживая в генерал-губернаторстве, а также на оккупированной немцами территории европейской части СССР, они прекрасно владели русским, украинским и польским языками, благодаря чему происходило упрощение контакта с местным населением. Офицеры лагеря представляли собой преимущественно немцев, командиры же взводов причисляли себя к фольксдойче. В концентрационном лагере содержались гражданские лица, подлежавшие призыву в Красную Армию и советские военнопленные самых различных национальностей: русских, украинцев, белорусов, эстонцев, латышей, литовцев, татар, грузин, армян и азербайджанцев. Травники принимали активное участие в операции «Рейнхард» — государственной программе нацистской Германии по систематическому истреблению евреев и цыган в генерал-губернаторстве. Также участвовали в массовом истреблении различных групп населения, подозревавшихся в оппозиции нацистскому режиму, в лагерях смерти и внесли огромный вклад в подавление восстания в Варшавском гетто весной 1943 года.

Anti-Trafficking International (ATI) to Host Free Webinar with Global Expert About Targeting Buyers of Sex
ATI Press Team
Washington, D.C.—ATI will host an online event, What About the Buyers? Fighting Human Trafficking by Fighting Demand, for the public and professionals on Thursday, December 16, 2021 at 10:00 AM EST. Valiant (Val) Richey, a global expert on human trafficking, will address why we should focus on demand to stop sex trafficking, how to understand buyers, what states need to do to address demand, and how the United States compares to other countries focusing on demand.
To register for this free online event, visit: https://www.PreventHT.org/events.
Human trafficking is built on the economic theory of supply and demand: buyers make the commercial sex market profitable and traffickers capitalize on this market, putting children in our communities and all over the world at risk of being trafficked every day. What if we could reduce the threat of trafficking by preventing buyers from participating in this market?
"A lot of attention has been focused on victims and survivors of sex trafficking, but the buyers are often overlooked," explains Kristine Grow, Team Leader of ATI's Let's Talk Community Outreach and Engagement Program, which partners with experts in the field to present an in-depth discussion on varied topics related to human trafficking via a free quarterly webinar series. "Reducing demand and making sex trafficking less profitable will lead traffickers to find other ways to make money. And fewer people—particularly vulnerable women and children—will suffer this horrible form of abuse."
Richey is the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Special Representative and Coordinator for Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings. He represents OSCE at the political level on anti-trafficking issues and assists the 57 OSCE participating States in the development and implementation of anti-trafficking strategies and initiatives. His office also serves a coordinating function among OSCE structures and institutions involved in combatting trafficking in human beings. Before joining OSCE, Val worked for thirteen years as a Seattle prosecutor, handling sexual assault, child exploitation, and human trafficking cases. He has a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Political Science from Boston University and a Juris Doctor from the University of Washington.
