Talk:World Institute of Scientology Enterprises International Business Directory, text, 2006
This is a public document already. What will you "leak" next, phone books????
This "leak" is spam that has escaped the vigileance of the board of Wikileaks.
First of all, the list is copied from an officially printed directory of a club, which is, by definition, fairly easy to get hold of. Hence the authors of that "leak" lied when they said this was secret information. That being said, what could be the purpose for posting a list of individuals? This is an interesting case study of what appears to be a the mechanics of cyber-bullying.
Here is the method: under the cover of exposing an organization (information presented as a public service), a hate group is in fact targeting individual members of a community. In the present case they already published lists of the same individuals on their own web sites or on web sites part of their web ring. The intent is to damage reputationally a set of persons, by posting blacklists on the Internet and having Google or other search engines returning damaging information on their names. This is nothing new, since targeting individuals of a minority on a one by one basis, in order to weaken the whole community, is a traditional modus operandi of hate groups; only the choice of media is new.
Let us say that John Doe belongs to a minority M (religion, race, etc.) that group A dislikes intensely. Hate group A, publishes lists of individuals belonging to minority, together (on the same web page) with a seemingly neutral, but effectively derogatory comment on that minority. What is more important however, is that the page does contains contains links to other pages which are in turn openly defamatory. Since hate group A has a well-organized network of web sites linked with each other, those pages act as Google spamming and rank above all the bona fide pages of the person. The imbalance thus created drives further traffic to their sites, which further drowns the bona fide pages, etc.
That is the real reason for posting such a list on social and public service sites such as Wikileaks: the popularity of those sites makes that Google considers links coming from as "heavy", thus boosting the ranking of the "hate pages".
What can be the effect? Suppose that John Doe applies for a job, or seeks to create a business partnership. A potential employer or partner XY goes to Google and types "John Doe". Perhaps the potential employer or partner XY wonders what is minority M and thus clicks the links. The new page, far from neutral, is a hate message. Or XY clicks on a "Similar pages" link, with the same result.
Now XY is afraid and no longer wants to talk with John Doe and says "he wants nothing to do with minority M". In fact XY, like most of the population, probably does not believe what hate group A says about minority M. But the message from group A to XY is clear: "if you add John Doe to your relationships we will target YOU. We will put you on our blacklists and we will damage YOUR reputation in the business.". Group M has in fact established a "ring" of discrimination around the targeted individuals whose purpose is to isolate them from the rest of society.
Fortunately, this tactic has some limitations. First of all, while it may scare off the people who are already in a socially weak position (particularly jobless, or people belonging to other minorities), most simply disregard it. Furthermore, while it may injure new relationships, it usually fail to harm existing ones. Also, people still rely on face-to-face contact and their own social networks to authenticate potential partners.
But most importantly, the spamming of search engines, as well as social and public service sites (as this one)for hate purposes is attracting more and more attention not only from Google, but also from judicial authorities in the US and elsewhere.
Now, why is the cover of "public service" a key point (hence the seeming "neutrality" of the comment)? Because public interest would be the only reason tolerated, under many jurisdictions, for infringing the right of individuals to privacy and reputation (art 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights). Hence an unauthorized disclosure of private information with derogatory comments, always requires satisfactory proof of general interest (onus probandi). Failing this, this activity falls under the heading of hate propaganda i.e. laws against racism or discrimination, which usually entail severe criminal penalties.
In this case, the intention of exploiting a public service for particular purposes (i.e. spamming), is easily proven
By the lack of justification in publishing a non-confidential list of individuals and
Associating a hate message with it - the hate message not being necessarily present in the explanatory notes associated with the list, but in the links to which the page refers. The links on Wikileaks have been deliberately chosen and none points on web sites which would give another, or more balanced view on the question.
With the raising awareness that links on a web page are part and parcel of the page, and that they engage the responsibility of the individual who is posting the information, that type of behaviour should probably become less and less prevalent in the future.
In the mean time, removing that list would be a good idea -- as there is no reason to help spammers in their activities, particularly if spam is used to forward hate messages.
Why this needed to be leaked
Here is a note found in the WISE 2006 directory:
"... The listings in the WISE directory are the property of WISE International only and may not be used by others without prior written authorization. The only approved line to promote to WISE members is through an advertisement in the WISE Directory."
Meaning the hosting of the directory wouldn't be possible elsewhere. I think access to the directory is important given that WISE's stated purpose is "to promote and foster the religious teachings of L. Ron Hubbard in society." WISE members are not forthright about this, thus the need to find out whether an entity is a member of WISE. Consider the ongoing case Former CIO sues Diskeeper claims he was fired for not participating in Scientology training (Diskeeper Corp. is member of WISE.)
This argument is nonsensical. We can find such copyright notices on many web sites and no one will argue that the information on a web site is secret for that reason. The purpose of these notices is simply to prevent unsollicited mail and abuses against privacy (such as this one). Again, claiming as "secret" a list which was broadly published in a brochure form in several hundred copies and shipped all over the world (and even available on CD) is not correct advertising.
There are also other imprecisions and misleading details: in particular the message above is seeking to infer that companies are member of Wise, whereas it is individuals who are members of that association. There is thus a confusion artificially introduced between private and business practices (the fact that a business owner is e.g. Christian does not necessarily make that company Christian), which justifies this all out attack against individuals. We can also deplore the use of weasel syntax such as "WISE members are not fortright about this".
And this leads to an interesting question: why should people be fortright, in the first place? Is there some obligation made to citizens to disclose upfront details about one's beliefs and memberships ? That part is worth examining: what would be the purpose of obliging an individual to wear a "badge" of their faith, if it is were not for the purpose of social discrimination? In fact, the core point of that argumentation is that it denies the right of a person to selectively divulge private information about themselves (which also goes against the Internet freedoms). By the same token it would justify the gratuitous publication of lists of members of freemasons lodges (whose ethic recommends discretion).
As a conclusion, in the absence of factual basis, and a rather unconvincing argumentation in favor of general interest, we should assume that this is only serving private bias. Thus it should be removed.
Scientology religious teachings are introduced in the workplace under secular clothing. This is what "not forthright" means.
This is weasel phrasing (words or phrases that seemingly support statements without attributing opinions to verifiable sources). See Wikipedia advice on the subject.
You must have missed the point made by the poster in the top paragraph: As per WISE's incorporation papers: "[WISE's] purposes are to promote and foster the religious teachings of L. Ron Hubbard in society." WISE's incorporation papers... sounds like "verifiable source" to me.
The following category tags should be stamped on this leak: "Cults and religious organizations," "Scientology"
No. Cult is a defamatory word. In France jurisprudence has established that [its French equivalent "secte"] is a term of "abuse or disparagement" (invective or mépris) without a clear indication of facts and thus qualifies as public insult (c.f. law of 29 juillet 1881, art 23).
Cult is defined in Webster's New World Dictionary as a quasi-religious group, often living in a colony, with a charismatic leader who indoctrinates members with unorthodox or extremist views, practices, or beliefs.
It would be similar to other terms which have been used by propaganda prone governments (deviationist, counter-revolutionary, cosmopolitan, etc.).
Since the religious nature of Scientology, as well as the social integration of its members has been judicially established beyond any reasonable doubt (American decisions in the 1990s, European Court of Human Rights, 2007, there would be no reason for using such a term. Lacking any justification, this would clearly be a provocation and an invitation to hate.
Church of Scientology lost its libel lawsuit against TIME re. "Scientology: The Cult of Greed and Power."
Caution for the readers: this argument merely states that there was insufficient legal basis for ruling against TIME's opinions in 2001, not that the use of that word was correct. Confusing "licit" and "right" can lead to unsustainable propositions such as "racial discrimination was morally right before the Civil Rights Act of 1964".
But it misses the core question, i.e. that using this word would contradict jurisprudence. Firstly, American courts and public administrations show little doubt about the religious and charitable nature of Scientology organizations (c.f. decision of IRS 1st October 1993). Also the European court of Human Rights ruled unanimously in favour of the Church of Scientology in a landmark decision (5th April 2007). Not to mention the supreme courts of Italy (2001), Spain (2007) etc.
So the burden of proof would definitely be on those who want to use that word: they should first demonstrate why those high courts were wrong in acknowledging that Scientology is a religion whose members are entitled to freedoms (religion, association and expression). But for the time being, this motion should be rejected.
The word "cult" belongs to popular culture, not academic research. It has no scientific basis.
Why caution? Where I come from you folks are being watched by the government as a threat to the constitution. And no single person you ask on the streets would doubt that Scientology is an oppressive scam. It's sad that you manage to err parts of the world into believing you are anything else but a dirty scam, but believe me, this will soon change. Kudos to wikileaks for putting all this information out there. The scumbags will be exposed soon and no more people will fall for all those cheats and lies.
And please, don't start talking about political correctness now, you folks are either so innocent and stupid that you fall for this and still don't get it, or you know what you really are into and are part of the scam, aiding and abetting, and destroying innocent people's lives. In either way, no use in being anything but explicit with you.
Btw, the category is called 'Cults and religious organizations'. Even if you were religious, you would belong in this category.
It's not defamatory if it's true.

Appliances have become a vital part of our daily lives. The appliances we have in our home help us save time with the daily tasks we have to complete everything. As much as we use our appliances, some of them will not come with a lifetime warranty or a lifetime guarantee. So, there will certainly be some appliance errors and functional issues. Errors and problems are not uncommon in appliances, especially when they are constantly being used.
Don't fear when your appliances start to give you problems, you can pick up the phone and call the appliance service experts. Your appliances can break or have damages from a variety of different ways. Getting help from professionals can save your appliances so you will not have to spend more money on new appliances. You can save a significant amount of money by getting your appliances repaired.
When your appliances break, it does not mean they are no good and should be thrown away. The professionals who are repairing your appliances can give you information about the exact problem. You do not want to risk shocking yourself or doing something that will cause an increase in your electric bill. You definitely do not want to make the appliance situation worse than it may be. When you call on an appliance repair professional, you can enjoy the smooth transition of getting back into your daily routine.
When your appliances are back to working properly, you will no longer have to deal with the inconvenience of your appliances not working. Your home will also be much safer because you will not have to be concern with the dangers of faulty appliances. Appliances will go through the normal wear and tear, that is common.
When your machine breaks down, and you think it is wise to just get another one, you should think about contacting an appliance repair service. Before you replace the appliance, it will be worth a few minutes of your time to contact an appliance repair professional. Sometimes people think it will be cheaper to just buy a new one than have it repaired, without even contacting a service.

Prosecutors say mom concealed daughter's diabetes for years until she died
by: Chris Hayes, Joe Lamie
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – The Madison County State's Attorney's Office charged an Alton woman Thursday with intentionally denying medical treatment for her daughter's diabetes, eventually causing the child's death.
Amber Hampshire was charged with involuntary manslaughter and endangering the life of her 14-year-old child, Emily. She turned herself in at the Alton Police Department late Thursday afternoon.
Prosecutors and police believe Hampshire first learned of her daughter's diagnosis in 2013 when Emily was just 9 years of age but took measures to conceal the diagnosis and withheld treatment and medication.
"If treated, it would be absolutely survivable. This death was completely senseless," said Madison County State's Attorney Tom Gibbons.
Emily died November 1, 2018 after paramedics were dispatched to the family's home in the 300 block of Brentwood Boulevard in Alton. The girl was not breathing and had gone into cardiac arrest. Emily was taken to a hospital in Alton and then airlifted to Cardinal Glennon Hospital in St. Louis where she died.
Gibbons said Emily almost died in February 2018 from diabetic ketoacidosis, yet her mother continued to hide her daughter's diabetes.
Amber Hampshire
"Amber Hampshire had all of the information and all of the resources available to take care of this and instead chose to conceal it from even the closest family members," he said.
Even Emily's own father was kept in the dark.
"There were so many supportive people around this family and around this young girl, who would've stepped up and helped," Gibbons said. "I have no words."
Search warrant documents show a list of items seized by police, revealing Amber Hampshire received medications and supplies to treat her daughter's diabetes back in February but disregarded them.
Gibbons said no one knows why. He added that it does not appear to have anything to do with religion.
"Investigators looked into that angle and I don't think there's any reason to believe that's a claim or defense in this case. I think there will be substantial evidence to the contrary," he said.
"I pray for this family. I pray for this father and sibling, and her grandparents, and everyone around her, her church and her school, that they can find some peace through what must be really shocking news today."

The Lure: I heard about this book on BookTube and wanted to check it out for myself. No reviews were made yet, so I was able to go into this with only my own expectations. The idea of incorporating Chinese folklore to shape this story was very appealing to me. I studied Japanese arts and Literature in college and since I was young something mystical has drawn me to Asian folklore in general. Another thing that drew me to this book was the idea of having a predominantly deaf set of characters. I wanted to see how the author would deliver this information.
The book: Let's face it, the cover is gorgeous. I like the beautiful colors, typography and the strength the cover model portrays on the cover. I typically remove the dustjacket off of the books while I read so as not to damage them, but I actually kept this one on so that I could see pretty every time I sat down to read. It was a very short book with only 266 pages but I think the author delivered a great story in such a short framework.
The characters: I really enjoyed reading about the main character, Fei and was drawn to her work as an apprentice to capture the daily events with her paint brush. Her love of her craft was inspiring and her strength throughout the book was also a pleasure to witness. Li Wei, the handsome miner was also fun to follow and their on and off banter, made for a slow romance to be realized. I enjoyed the intertwining of the folklore to shape the existence of these people and how it shaped their beliefs and behavior.
Pacing: I felt like this author did a great job with the pacing of this book. It was a fairly short book. If I had one wish I would like more elaboration on the folklore that was brought in more strongly towards the end.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and found that I breezed through it very quickly. I would give it 4 1/2 butterflies because I really enjoyed the story and I found the inclusion of the folklore refreshing. Particularly with a book market that likes to reuse the same story over and over again. A true breath of fresh air this one was for me.

From the Archives: Former Newspaper Editor Who Exposed CIA Found Dead
Former editor of largest newspaper in Germany revealed the CIA pays journalists in Germany, France, Britain, Australia and New Zealand to plant fake stories – and the CIA is trying to bring war to Russia
Dr Udo Ulfkotte, the former German newspaper editor whose bestselling book exposed how the CIA controls German media, has been found dead. He was 56.
Ulfkotte was an editor at Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the largest newspapers in Germany, when he published Bought Journalists, the bestselling book that cost him his job and perhaps his life.
German media, who were banned from reporting on his work in recent years, are reporting he died of "heart failure".
Acknowledging that his life was under threat, Ulfkotte explained that he was in a better position than most journalists to expose the truth because he didn't have any children who could be threatened.
Speaking to the Russian newspaper Russian Insider, Ulkfotte said: "When I told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Ulfkotte's newspaper) that I would publish the book, their lawyers sent me a letter threatening with all legal consequences if I would publish any names or secrets – but I don't mind. You see, I don't have children to take care of."
His fears for a war in Europe, lead him to his decision to tell the truth about corporate media being controlled by intelligence services on behalf of the financial class.
"I've been a journalist for about 25 years, and I've been educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public," Ulfkotte told Russia Today. "I was supported by the Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA. Why? Because I am pro-American."
"The German and American media tries to bring war to the people in Europe, to bring war to Russia. This is a point of no return, and I am going to stand up and say… it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make propaganda against Russia."
Ulfkotte said most corporate media journalists in the United States and Europe are "so-called non-official cover," meaning that they work for an intelligence agency. "I think it is especially the case with British journalists, because they have a much closer relationship. It is especially the case with Israeli journalists. Of course with French journalists. … It is the case for Australians, [with] journalists from New Zealand, from Taiwan, well, there is many countries," he said.
Ulfkotte's book Bought Journalists became a bestseller in Germany but, in a bizarre twist which Ulfkotte says characterizes the disconnect caused by CIA control of the western media, the book cannot be reported on by the German press.
Ulfkotte said: "No German mainstream journalist is allowed to report about [my] book. Otherwise he or she will be sacked. So we have a bestseller now that no German journalist is allowed to write or talk about."
Among the stories Ulfkotte says he was ordered by the CIA to plant in his newspaper was a fake story that Libyan President Moammar Gaddafi was building poison gas factories in 2011.
"The German and American media tries to bring war to the people in Europe, to bring war to Russia," he told RT.
"This is a point of no return, and I am going to stand up and say … it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make propaganda against Russia, and it is not right what my colleagues do, and have done in the past, because they are bribed to betray the people not only in Germany, all over Europe. … I am very fearful of a new war in Europe, and I don't like to have this situation again, because war is never coming from itself, there is always people who push for war, and this is not only politicians, it is journalists too. … We have betrayed our readers, just to push for war. … I don't want this anymore; I'm fed up with this propaganda. We live in a banana republic, and not in a democratic country where we have press freedom."

Chumash firefighters battle wildfires and protect sacred sites in California
December 15, 2017 · 6:00 PM EST
By Amulya Shankar
Firefighters battle flames from a Santa Ana wind-driven brush fire called the Thomas Fire in Santa Paula.
Gene Blevins/Reuters
It's been more than 250 days since it last rained in southern California.
Approximately 8,000 firefighters continue to battle massive wildfires, like the record-setting Thomas Fire.

But it's not just people and infrastructure that are in danger — fires also threaten indigenous cultural sites.
That's where Gilbert Romero comes in. He's a fire captain for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, but he's also one of the department's "cultural specialists."
Romero grew up wanting to protect Chumash heritage and culture. His father has done a similar job for the tribe for decades, going to construction sites and working with archeologists to protect sacred sites as a monitor.
"He still does it to this day — that's his love and his passion," says Romero. "It's one of mine as well."
But Romero says it can be difficult balancing his roles as a firefighter and a cultural specialist.
"I know that we're not always going to save all the sites. There's going to be times where we need to save people's lives," says Romero. "Cultural sites are important to us. But my number one job that I'm hired to do is [be a] firefighter."

This is a list of Recopa Sudamericana winning football managers. The Recopa Sudamericana is an annual football contest played between the previous season's Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana winners. The first final was played in 1989 over two legs between Uruguayan team Nacional and Argentina's Racing; Nacional won 4–1 under the guidance of Héctor Núñez.

As of 2009, Argentinian managers have been the most successful, winning six tournaments in total, followed by Brazilians with five wins and Uruguayans with four titles. On only five occasions, the tournament was won by foreign managers—Croatian Mirko Jozić led Chilean side Colo-Colo to victory in 1992, Uruguayan Jorge Fossati led LDU Quito to win in 2009, his compatriot Luis Cubilla won the tournament with Paraguayan club Olimpia in 1991 and 2003 and Portuguese Jorge Jesus led Flamengo to the trophy in 2020 .

Jozić and Jesus are the only managers from outside South America to have won the competition. Olimpia, Colo-Colo, and LDU Quito are the only winning sides that has never won the trophy with a national manager. Marcelo Gallardo is the most successful manager with three trophies won, all with River Plate. Besides him, Luis Cubilla, Telê Santana and Alfio Basile are the only managers to have won the competition twice. Of these managers, Gallardo, Santana and Basile are the only ones to win trophies in consecutive years, thus revalidating their previous titles.

Trump's PROC policy is as-yet unclear, but during the campaign, he vocalized interest in levying 45% tariffs on Chinese goods, pointed the finger at the PROC for taking America's power and jobs, and accused it of currency manipulation.
In Xi's speech, he defended globalization and shunned protectionism. He also sounded a warning that appeared directly leveled at the American President-elect, "Any attempt to cut off the flow of capital, goods, and people between economies and channel the waters into the ocean back into isolated lakes and creeks is simply not possible." The comment drew strong applause from the international WEF attendees.
Trump has not responded to the speech on Twitter, but his adviser Anthony Scaramucci later spoke in Davos and reportedly declared, "President Trump could be one of the last great hopes for globalism." He added that the new administration "does not want to have a trade war" with China.
That's good news for the film business as all of this comes as the USTR will begin negotiating a new contract with China in February on behalf of the industry. Film may be a very small part of trade, but it's also the most public.

Searching for Overlooked and Underexplored Frontiers
As a founding partner of Kosmos Energy, Paul Dailly has been involved in some of the most exciting and significant discoveries of recent years. He tells us the story behind the building of this successful exploration company.
This article appeared in Vol. 13, No. 5 - 2016
"The most exciting moment of my career thus far was when Kosmos drilled its very first well, Mahogany 1, in Ghana - and we discovered the Jubilee field!" says Paul. "It was a great feeling. What's more, we had initially planned for our first well to be in Benin, which came in dry when we eventually did drill it, so it turned out to be the right decision!"
Dr. Paul Dailly, Senior Vice President and Chief Geoscientist of Kosmos Energy, which he co-founded in 2004, is a veteran oil finder, with over 25 years in the business, much of it looking at frontier regions.
New Ideas and Concepts
Paul was first inspired by geology when growing up in his native Scotland. "I always loved being outdoors and enjoyed hiking and camping and going on expeditions with the Scouts," he says. "The only two things at school I was any good at were maths and geography, overall an odd combination of interests which eventually led me to geoscience being the thing I enjoyed most. I studied for my B.Sc. at Edinburgh; one of the main attractions of the degree course there was that we did so much fieldwork and saw a lot of rocks. I then embarked on a BP-sponsored Ph.D. based in Durham and Oxford, where John Dewey had started a basin evolution research school integrating tectonics and sedimentation, a very new and hot topic at the time. It was a great research environment with a lot of talented researchers. I studied Carboniferous and Permo-Triassic basin evolution in the Solway Basin in Scotland, combining oil industry data with a lot of fieldwork, which gave me early exposure to integrating apparently different datasets to make the whole greater than the sum of the parts.

(Source: Paul Dailly) "After that I joined BP as an exploration geologist and worked from the Glasgow office, spending my first few years offshore and then on the exploration and appraisal of the Mungo and Monan fields in the Central North Sea. I loved living there, mostly for the access to the fantastic countryside, but eventually moved to London to work on more frontier exploration regions. I did a lot of fieldwork in Russia and in the Andes and spent a number of years in the South East Asian Group looking at Vietnam, which discovered the Lan Tay and Lan Do gas fields. Unlike many of the supermajors, BP was putting a big effort into frontier regions at the time and had a fantastic group of explorers all with a great love of geoscience. I really enjoy that kind of work; by integrating disparate bits of data, old seismic and written-off wells you can come up with new ideas and concepts. It's very rewarding."
By the early 1990s Paul had itchy feet and was ready for a move. "I enjoyed working with BP, but there were not many foreign postings at that time and I wanted to go abroad, so I took a job as a geologist with Triton Energy and moved with my wife Chris to Dallas."
Triton, at the time one of the most successful independent E&P companies in the United States, had just discovered the huge Cusiana field in Colombia. "Triton were expanding fast," Paul explains. "The New Ventures team were picking up acreage in interesting areas in Indonesia, Madagascar, and China and also in Equatorial Guinea in West Africa, where we were looking at a new Cretaceous turbidite play which eventually resulted in the Ceiba and Okume discoveries in l999 and 2001."
These Equatorial Guinea discoveries spiked the interest of Amerada Hess (now Hess Corporation), who were looking to fast-track production from African fields. They bought Triton in 2001 and Paul moved with them to Houston to manage the Gulf of Mexico regional exploration team, but before long found himself back in Dallas with an exciting new venture: Kosmos Energy.
"Myself and a number of the ex-Triton management decided to form Kosmos and managed to get funding from two New York private equity houses: Warburg Pincus and Blackstone. It was a big leap for us to take: from solid careers with international companies to a small group of people starting from scratch. With me there were two other technical guys, Brian Maxted who is still the CXO, and Kenny Goh, and also Jim Musselman, who was CEO at the time, and Greg Dunlevy the CFO.
"Kosmos was one of the first private equity-backed 'boutique' international deepwater explorers; we were at the vanguard of this type of funding in the international E&P business," Paul continues. "The financiers had previously invested in US E&P companies but not in ones working internationally; however, our track record with Triton persuaded them to give us a chance, as it was essentially the same management and technical teams."
Looking for Opportunities
"Having got the team and the money in place, we went looking for opportunities – and saw plenty of exciting ones, particularly in Africa. Because of the sorts of prospects we were targeting there was not a great deal of competition from the oil majors, who were not doing much frontier exploring in the early 2000s but rather were focused on proven basins; it was good time for smaller companies like us to rapidly build a portfolio. Another important factor in establishing the company was the fact that many of the software applications we use, such as seismic interpretation systems, had fairly recently moved from mainframes and large operating systems to more manageable and affordable PC-based, off-the-shelf platforms. This helped level the playing field for a lot of small companies with more modest resources and allowed them to compete with much bigger organisations," Paul adds.
As he explains, through the 1990s most major E&P companies had focused on exploring the Tertiary deltas such as the Niger, Congo and Gulf of Mexico, and were concentrating on developing the resulting discoveries. A number of other play types, however, like the transform margins of Africa, had not seen much exploration in a number of years. Kosmos saw these big gaps in knowledge and activity as opportunities.
"We initially concentrated on the Gulf of Guinea and picked up acreage in Ghana, then Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon and Morocco," says Paul. "In 2007, three years after we signed the agreements with Ghana, our first well discovered the giant Jubilee field and opened a significant new hydrocarbon province, the Tano Basin."
Success at Jubilee was the result of the company's identification of the overlooked Upper Cretaceous structural-stratigraphic play concept along the transform margin of Africa. It turned out to be one of the largest finds of 2007 worldwide, and the biggest discovery of the entire decade offshore West Africa. Kosmos farmed out to Anadarko and Tullow to help fund the drilling of the discovery well and the partnership fast-tracked development of the field, with production starting up just three years later.

Good Acreage – and Good Ideas
"After Jubilee everyone wanted to move into Ghana and the transform margin and it became very expensive," Paul explains. "We decided to switch geography to North West Africa, which we considered to be just as overlooked and underexplored as the transform margin had been. In 2012 we took acreage in Mauritania, which a lot of companies had downgraded after the much-vaunted Chinguetti field proved to be more complicated than initially expected and many companies exited the country. We thought the fundamentals of the geology still showed promise and in 2015 drilled the Tortue-1 well (later renamed Ahmeyim), which opened a new, giant hydrocarbon province in Cenomanian and Albian sands in combination traps. It was the industry's second largest discovery of the year and opened up the Greater Tortue gas area, which stretches south into Senegal.
"Tortue was typical of our strategy – we try to be counter-cyclical," he continues. "Firstly, it is always important that our investors are happy that we 'bet against the pack'. We maintain a small but very experienced technical group at the core of the company who can look in detail at all the prospects. Frontier opportunities can often initially have a 1 in 10 chance of success, but we have to see a pathway to reducing that risk down to a drillable 1 in 3 to 5. It's important that we continue to invest in new opportunities even at a low point in the cycle. Not many people are actively picking up acreage at the moment, which helps our longer term exploration strategy, but makes it tougher when we look for partners.
"At the moment we are continuing to grow our portfolio around the Atlantic margins. We have a position in Suriname, where we are exploring both structural and stratigraphic plays and will be shooting our second 3D survey soon and hope to drill over the next year or two. Another focus area is Portugal, where we acquired 3D last year. It's a country which has been off the exploration radar, and we believe that some ideas from West Africa can be applied to the North Atlantic, rather than North Sea analogies. We have also built up a big position in Sao Tome where no one has really explored for over a decade, and where again we plan to shoot a large 3D next year. In most of these areas we are focusing on Cretaceous structural/ stratigraphic plays, many of which are conceptual and based on 2D with well-defined play elements but trap fairways that need new 3D for prospect definition."
Paul is justifiably proud of the Kosmos team, which has grown from about 20 people when Jubilee was discovered to over 180 now, most based in Dallas. The exploration group has about 30 people with a high percentage of geoscientists, bringing a broad range of experience but maintaining a small company, team-oriented culture.
"We typically operate through the exploration and appraisal phases and in the case of Jubilee were the development operator. However as a company we are less focused on operating at the production stage," Paul says. "This helps to keep the team relatively small, which we think is important in maintaining the company's strengths and culture. It means we can all focus on the most value-adding activities."
I ask Paul what makes a good hydrocarbon explorer.
"An open mind is probably the most important thing, so you are not caught up in the conventional wisdom as to why some things have worked and others have failed. The ability to integrate technically is also vital. We see lots of high quality work done in isolation but which hasn't been sufficiently leveraged by integration to lower risk. This is partly an issue of company size – it's much easier to collaborate between disciplines in a smaller company, where everyone is co-located and where having cross-discipline conversations with smaller groups is a natural process. At the same time we believe you must be big enough to have the range of in-house technical expertise to compete.
"Focus and playing to your strengths is also very important; in Kosmos we are very geographically focused and try to avoid following the pack. We look for evidence of good petroleum system fundamentals but typically are not in basins with existing commercial fields. We find we have a three-year cycle from identifying a play to drilling it; frontier plays, especially obscure ones, frequently only have 2D seismic, so we arrange to shoot 3D as soon as possible after signing, to maximise the time available to enhance the data, define the play concept and lower the prospect risk. We frequently then bring in partners at the drilling stage. It's an approach which has worked well for us but it's important to constantly ensure the portfolio has sufficient petroleum system tests and the individual positions have large enough footprints to manage the play risk."
Paul, wife Chris and daughter Meagan in Iceland. (Source: Paul Dailly) After 20 years in Texas, Paul recently moved back to Scotland, close to his home town of Dundee ("near the Highland Boundary Fault," as the geologist points out), partly to help his parents. However it is also easier for him to look after Kosmos' African new venture interests from Europe than from the US. He is enjoying being back, and particularly relishes the rural environment and the access to outdoor activities like hillwalking.
"The great thing about working with a small organisation is that despite getting so involved in the management and decision-making sides of the business, I continue to get a kick out of the geology. I still enjoy figuring out how a bunch of rocks comes together to make a play, and then doing whatever is needed to get the idea tested," Paul concludes.
Paul Dailly is clearly a man who enjoys what he does - and does it well.

Making compliance less complicated: new digital ecosystem to support development of 'Golden Thread' of information
The Construction Innovation Hub has partnered up with Cardiff University and its Digital Compliance (D-COM) Network, to develop a 'digital ecosystem' to support construction firms in navigating the complex regulatory landscape with greater ease and certainty.
The digital ecosystem will, for the first time, integrate and make more accessible, the web of tools and data sources that firms must use as part of the compliance process. As well as driving greater and more consistent levels of compliance, the new digital ecosystem should also help to reduce costs and administrative burdens for construction businesses.
Digitisation of compliance processes will bring wider tangible benefits, including:
1. Greater certainty that all regulatory requirements are being met;
2. Reduction in time and resource spent in investigating root causes of failure;
3. Increased transparency through the central collection, and management of compliance data for the UK construction industry; and,
4. Improved auditability provided through digitised compliance processes supporting efforts to create a 'Golden-Thread' of information.
The digital ecosystem builds on groundwork laid by Digital Compliance (D-COM) Network in 2018 and directly supports the ambitions of the CLC 'Roadmap to Recovery' by developing a digital ecosystem that assists in the delivery of high-quality, better-performing buildings. The ecosystem also addresses the need identified by the MHCLG Expert Group on Structure of Guidance to the Building Regulations for a more "holistic and systems-based approach and allow for greater cross-referencing between technical requirements and the wider legislative requirements."
This digital ecosystem is due to be completed by August 2022 with the main objectives of:
1. Digitalising selected Approved Documents, including:
1. Part B (Fire Safety)
2. Part L (Conservation of fuel and power)
3. Part M (Access to and use of buildings)
2. Developing a digital ecosystem (including an open platform API) to facilitate automating parts of the Building Regulations compliance checking process; and,
3. Demonstrating a proof-of-concept of the digital ecosystem to support the Construction Innovation Hub's Platform Construction System, developed to help change the way buildings and infrastructure are designed, manufactured, integrated and connected within our built environment.
Construction Innovation Hub Programme Director Keith Waller said:
"Robust rules and standards are crucial to ensuring the quality and safety of our buildings and infrastructure and maintaining public trust and confidence in our built environment. We must, however, recognise that the more complex our regulatory landscape becomes, the more challenging it is for construction firms to ensure full compliance.
By joining forces with Cardiff University and its D-COM Network to create this new digital ecosystem, we aim to simplify the regulatory landscape for construction firms, driving greater levels of compliance and reducing the administrative and financial burden associated with failure to meet rules and standards."
Dr Tom Beach of Cardiff University said:
"The UK construction regulatory landscape is becoming increasingly challenging, with, not just an increasing number of regulations, requirements and standards, but also the increasing need for auditability in all aspects of compliance checking.
As leader of the D-COM network, Cardiff University has led work proposing a vision for new open digital compliance ecosystem that can integrate regulations, assessors and project teams along with the wide variety of software tools needed to operate compliance processes in the modern built environment.
We believe that our approach can ensure auditable compliance processes, while reducing administrative burden and increasing productivity. Furthermore, we see this open ecosystem as paving the way for the development of a new generation of compliance.
Working with the Construction Innovation Hub, we now have the potential to deliver on this vision for a free and open digital compliance ecosystem."

UF's New Honey Bee Lab Will Support Beekeeping, Agriculture
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Twenty percent of the food we eat is made possible by honey bees. And behind each of these hardworking pollinators is an equally hardworking beekeeper or scientist who helps them thrive.
The University of Florida's honey bee program has been around since the 1920s, but this June will mark the completion of a new honey bee headquarters on the UF campus, said Jamie Ellis, Gahan Endowed Associate Professor of Entomology in UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
"The Honey Bee Research and Extension Laboratory is a series of three buildings — it's a mini bee campus. One of the buildings, the Amy E. Lohman Apiculture Center, will house the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Apiary Inspection team, a beekeeping museum, a honey extraction and processing facility, and workshop space," said Ellis, who heads the Honey Bee Lab.
The Amy E. Lohman Apiculture Center is named for one of the project's key supporters, Ellis said.
"The Lohman Center will serve our research, Extension and instruction efforts related to honey bees and beekeeping," Ellis said. "We will be able to teach students and beekeepers how to build beekeeping equipment, extract and process honey, develop strategies for adding value to their beekeeping products, control honey bee pests and pathogens, and run a beekeeping business."
Lohman's gift has helped establish a lasting resource for honey bee research, education and outreach, Ellis said.
"I think it is important to highlight that Ms. Lohman's gift is a legacy gift. Sure, Ms. Lohman and other beekeepers like her will benefit from this today. However, this facility will survive well into the future and be a place where thousands of students and beekeepers are trained," Ellis said. "This education will translate into healthier bees that, in turn, will continue to provide the pollination services that our crops so desperately need. Thus, I feel that Ms. Lohman's gift is an example of selfless altruism. She really is working to save the beekeeper and the bees."
In addition to Lohman, hundreds of beekeepers, industry supporters and businesses from around the country, the Florida State Beekeepers Association, FDACS and UF have come together to fund the entire Honey Bee Lab, Ellis said.
The Honey Bee Lab is located next to Steinmetz Hall on the southwest corner of the UF campus. One of the buildings will have a room in which glass bee hives are kept, allowing visitors to look directly into the active hives, Ellis said. The complex will also house hundreds of thousands of bees in its outdoor apiary.

Inside Recruiting
Onboarding: It's a Recruiter's Job, Too
Jobvite | June 2, 2016 |
Once a new hire steps through the door, it's not rare for recruiters to lose touch with them almost entirely as HR takes the reins. It's not that you stop caring about the folks you've brought on – you're just busy trying to fill your other open requisitions. After all, that's your job; HR managers are the ones responsible for keeping employees happy and engaged once they've been hired.
So as the goal changes from recruiting to onboarding, a hand-off from recruiters to HR managers seems like a logical next step. A 180-degree transition like that, however, overlooks the huge opportunity recruiters have to help new hires efficiently and effectively settle into their roles, which is ultimately in everyone's best interest – not just the interests of HR and hiring managers.
Recruiters and HR Managers Need to Combine Forces
An employee who feels comfortable and productive early on is much less likely to leave than one who doesn't, and considering that most companies require new hires to stick around for a certain amount of time before they count toward a recruiter's quotas, that's a big deal. Beyond that, recruiters have an obligation to make sure that the experience they sold the candidate on in the first place is accurate. If not, then your company is an open target for negative Glassdoor reviews, high turnover, and a damaged employment brand. Suffice it to say, recruiters have a vested interest in onboarding success.
But as a poet once said, "No recruiter is an island." It's easy for recruiters and HR to unintentionally silo themselves, especially as a company's headcount increases, but to ensure the best onboarding experience possible, neither recruiters nor HR managers should go it alone. Instead, they should partner up for mutually beneficial results.
Invite HR to the Interview Table
Even before a candidate is hired, one of the most helpful things recruiters and HR can do is develop a combined hiring and onboarding plan. This should list everything from initial outreach to the 90-day review while assigning ownership every step of the way. (It may also be helpful to look into tools to help manage the workflows of each party involved.)
During the early stages, it makes sense for recruiters to be the primary contact, but that doesn't mean that HR shouldn't get involved. Once a candidate advances to the second or third round of interviews, for example, then HR should make a point to join the interview team. The earlier HR managers get involved, the more likely they are to establish trust with candidates if and when they get hired, which is critical for a successful employee/HR relationship moving forward.
In a perfect world, HR managers would interview all final-round candidates, but I know that schedules have a way of filling up at the last minute. So if HR reps can only join interviews every once in awhile, make sure that candidates interviewing for leadership roles are given top priority.
Maintain the Connection
Once a candidate has accepted an offer and the onboarding pendulum swings toward HR, it makes sense for that department to take over most of the day-to-day tasks, but it's also a perfect time for recruiters to play a supporting role. It all goes back to that trust I mentioned earlier: Since you've been the main point of contact up until now, new hires are going to feel most comfortable with you. If you can be there to welcome your newest team member on their first day, give them a quick tour, and maybe even sit in on a few of their onboarding sessions, you'll set the stage for a smooth transition from "candidate" to "employee."
Even after the start date, you can leverage the rapport you have with new hires to make sure that their experience is everything they thought it would be. Scheduling a coffee or grabbing lunch after the first couple of weeks and then months is a great way to get the real scoop on how things are going. New hires sometimes feel like painting anything but a 100 percent rosy picture to HR could reflect poorly on them, but with a recruiter as their trusted confidant, they're much more likely to be honest. Ask new hires how they're doing so far, what they think of the company, and whether their experience has matched their expectations. If anything's amiss, you can share that info with HR managers (given that you have the employee's permission), who have the know-how and resources to fix it. And if everything's going great, you'll have one more selling point for future candidates.
Given that recruiters have traditionally been so focused on acceptance rates and numbers of hires, it can be tough to shift gears and focus on what happens after the offer letter has been signed. But when HR and recruiters team up to create a better, more holistic new employee experience, you might just see a boost in retention, performance, length of employment, and more.
When it comes to attracting new talent to your company, success tends to beget success: If you can help your new employees be as productive and happy as possible from the get-go, you'll find that more and more people will want to be a part of your team. And with first-rate employees making the difference between a good company and a great company, you won't just be doing your job better – you'll be contributing to your company's overall success.

Blasphemy in the Christian World
Investigates the nature of religion in modern world, the issue of tolerance and the recognition of belief as an important identity
A groundbreaking examination of blasphemy's victims looking at reactions to this crime
Traces the changing perception of blasphemy in society from the medieval period to the modern day
Blasphemy--the denial or denigration of God--has a long history. Jesus was tried for blasphemy. Early Christians felt that the Jews in taking such action were themselves guilty of it. But it is not a story confined to the remote past. The publication in 2005 of 12 cartoons in a Danish newspaper linking the prophet Mohammed to terrorism sparked outrage in the global Islamic community. And that was not an instance of blasphemy intruding itself upon a Western society unused to such issues within Christianity. In many societies blasphemy remained an offence in law and the prosecution of artistic productions profaning the sacred was still a possibility.
David Nash's new study focuses on the development of blasphemy in the Christian world. Tracing the subject from the Middle Ages to the present, he outlines the history of blasphemy as a concept, from a species of heresy to modern understandings of it as a crime against the sacred and individual religious identity. Investigating its appearance in speech, literature, popular publishing and the cinema, he disinters the likely motives and agendas of blasphemers themselves, as well as offering a glimpse of blasphemy's victims. In particular, he seeks to understand why this seemingly medieval offence has reappeared to become a distinctly modern presence in the West.

2. Blasphemy in Words and Pictures - Part One 1500-1800
3. Blasphemy in Words and Pictures - Part Two 1800-2000
4. Who Were the Blasphemers?
5. Controlling the Profane
6. Responses to Blasphemy: Victims and Communities
7. Last Temptations and Visions of Ecstasy: Blasphemy and Film
David Nash is Reader in History at Oxford Brookes University. He has previously published on the secular and republican movements in England, specialising in the history of blasphemy, and appearing extensively in the media both Britain and America to speak on this subject. He has held visiting professorships in Utrecht and Buffalo, and is a permanent Visiting Research Fellow of the Center for Inquiry (Amherst, New York). In 2003 he was invited to give both verbal and written evidence to the House of Lords Select Committee on religious offences.
"[O]ffers additional persuasive evidence for religion's continued relevance...[and] convincingly shows how, as early as the thirteenth century, the systematic prosecution of blasphemy was seen as necessary for the protection of the community..."--The Historian
"[Nash is] an important voice in contemporary public debate regarding blasphemy...[A] useful concise survey of the history of blasphemy in the West."--Churchman

Last month, I woke up to read that one of my greatest fears had come true.
Osman Couey, a longtime teacher at PS 194 in Harlem, was arrested on charges of assaulting Ka'Veon Wilson, a 7-year-old child with special needs who was a student in his class.
I know this story all too well. Because Osman Couey assaulted my child, too.
My son Xavier was a student in Couey's class. On Nov. 20, 2013, Couey grabbed Xavier by the ear and threw him down a flight of stairs. Xavier came home from school bruised and shaken.
After the assault, he cried every morning before school, begging me not to send him back. Pretty soon, he started to suffer from severe anxiety attacks.
The Department of Education interviewed Couey about the incident and determined the accusations were inaccurate despite not interviewing me or Xavier. The city allowed Couey to remain in his classroom at PS 194.
They let this happen again.
When I pulled Xavier out of Couey's class, I knew it was only a matter of time before he victimized another defenseless child. So I was horrified (but, sadly, not surprised) to read about how Couey threw poor Ka'veon Wilson across a hallway in December, and finally was arrested last week.
One thing is clear above all else: The Department of Education failed to protect Ka'Veon Wilson, in the most unforgivable way possible. It knew Couey had a history of assault, but failed to remove him from the classroom.
Xavier's ordeal wasn't the first time Couey had hurt a student — he was first reprimanded for abusing a child in 2004, and was reprimanded two more times before he hurt Xavier.
But instead of being suspended or fired, Couey was left in the classroom.
Couey's history of violence is representative of a larger problem at PS 194, which was classified as "persistently dangerous" by New York City officials in 2011. Numerous families at the school have lived through the same nightmare as Xavier and I have, from the third-grade boy sexually assaulted by older children in 2012 to the 6-year-old girl who was rushed to the hospital in 2013 after another student stabbed her in the arm with a pencil.
At other public schools across the city, incidents like these happen every day. According to a new study released by Families for Excellent Schools, New York City's public schools are growing more and more dangerous, with children like Xavier falling victim to a violent act every five minutes. With violent incidents on the rise, who knows how many teachers like Osman Couey are victimizing students on a daily basis?
That's why I've joined a group of parents who are demanding answers from the city. This month, Families for Excellent Schools launched its #SafeSchoolsNow campaign to educate and inform parents about violent teachers and staff in their children's classrooms.
Parents won't give up until the Department of Education releases the names of abusive teachers currently employed at our children's public schools.
Because the city has failed to discipline these abusive teachers, they remain in our children's classrooms. And because the Department of Education won't release the names of these violent offenders, parents like me have no way of preventing incidents like the assault against my son Xavier.
It's unacceptable it took more than a decade for Osman Couey to be arrested; and he has still not been removed from PS 194. It breaks my heart to think that, if Couey had been fired when these issues first came to light, Xavier and his peers would have been spared the physical abuse and psychological harm that can last a lifetime.
The Department of Education owes parents more — it needs to stop playing politics with our children's safety, and needs to tell parents what's really going on before it's too late.

At last count, within the 856,116 direct beneficiaries, Nobo Jatra further aims to target approximately 26 categories of beneficiaries through its diverse and holistic range of interventions. Challenges surrounding accurate tracking and recording of beneficiaries along with minimizing overlap between the numerous interventions have been at the fore since day one. Accountability and transparency of the selection procedure and the process and system used to capture, aggregate and disseminate data further underpins all program strategies.
Parallel to broader coordination strategies, Md. Zakir Hossain Akanda, Additional Secretary (Relief), Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief undertook a field visit to Khulna and Dacope from the 22-24 October 2016. The overall goal of the visit was to firmly position Nobo Jatra as a government steered program and increase ownership of the program at the local administration level and also strengthen the buy in from local communities and beneficiaries. A further objective was to meet the Nobo Jatra team including consortium partners World Food Programme and Winrock International at the Divisional office in Khulna, frontline program staff in a working Upazila and subsequently observe tangible Nobo Jatra activities at ground level and also leverage the opportunity to interact first hand with direct program beneficiaries in their local communities.

I don't have to tell you how excited (and relieved) I was to see an article with the title, "Why display ads are cool again." Much to my dismay, the majority of articles I read last year about display advertising (my expertise at LEAP), were not flattering. The general consensus was that display ads are an intrusive and increasingly unsuccessful marketing tactic. As I discussed in a previous blog, some consumers have felt that the tactics used for targeting were kind of creepy and volatile to their privacies.
Will Price, of WidgetBox, gets it though. Price explores the various positive aspects of display marketing, including it's real-time web presence, dynamic capabilities, and opportunity for granular measurement.
I've seen incredibly impactful display ad campaigns served up in the last few years and I have to say that I completely disagree with those who say display advertising is losing all of its flavor. As long as there are vendors like PointRoll and Spongecell exploring the myriad of innovative possibilities, I think display advertising will always have a place in marketing campaigns, digital or integrated.
We can do so much with display advertising if we let our imaginations run wild. Flash games and sweepstakes, photo contests and product carousels, interactive videos and much more.
As long as there are production teams developing eye-catching creative and publishers willing to be flexible with how they present that creative, display advertising won't die!

Recent research has suggested that many people using WiFi broadband in the home are getting significantly slower speeds than those with fixed broadband.
These days many people decide to get wireless routers so that they can get online wirelessly in their home. This enables them to move around the home with their computer rather than being tied to one particular location, and they can even go out in the garden and use their broadband service for work or pleasure. Another reason why people opt for wireless is because it means that more than one internet device or computer can get online at the same time and via the same connection.
However, whilst wireless does offer many benefits to those that have more than one user or device in the home and those that want more freedom and flexibility when going online, there is also a downside to consider as well. According to recent reports those that are using WiFi in their home to get online are actually getting significantly slower speeds than those that are using their fixed line connection.
According to http://www.bestnetworkinghardware.com website, A study was carried out where over fourteen thousand WiFi connections were tested in the United Kingdom as well as in Spain, Italy, and the United States. The results showed that there was an average thirty percent drop off in terms of speed. However, it is also thought that many people are prepared to lose some of their speed in exchange for the convenience and ease that WiFi offers.
