Q&A TED Prize
"It's like climbing a mountain—you take one step at a time": TED Prize winner Charmian Gooch talks campaigning to end anonymous companies
Posted by: Natasha Scripture
June 20, 2014	at 10:09 am EDT
Charmian Gooch made a bold wish at TED2014—that we end the practice of anonymous companies. Here, she talks about the campaign three months in and responds to criticisms of it. Photo: James Duncan Davidson
Earlier this month, the Queen announced legislation to clamp down on corporate secrecy in her speech at the opening of Parliament in the United Kingdom. This may be news to the rest of the world, but it was a hard-won victory for the campaigners at Global Witness, an international non-governmental organization known for hard-hitting field investigations that unearth murky, controversial and unjust dealings, particularly ones that exploit natural resources.
The London-based organization has spent five years making a case to end anonymous companies—structures which shield information about who ultimately owns and benefits from a company, thus creating the perfect breeding ground for corruption. While most people have been sympathetic to Global Witness' cause, in terms of real change, their calls have fallen largely on deaf ears. In 2013, however, things changed. The British government—previously resistant to dealing with the problem—made the issue a central plank of its G8 presidency, and has subsequently committed to publishing information on the owners of British companies in a publicly-accessible register.
At this pivotal moment in the organization's history, we thought we would check in with one of Global Witness's founding directors, 2014 TED Prize winner and anti-corruption activist Charmian Gooch. Below, an edited transcript of our conversation.
First of all, congratulations on winning the TED Prize. How does it feel three months on?
It's been amazing. The pace is speeding up, not slowing down. The TED wish launch in March was a sort of "take off" moment for us. The issue is out there. In the UK, we have this lovely medieval tradition where the Queen gives a speech once a year, during which she lays out the upcoming laws that her Government is planning to introduce. Establishing a public register of company ownership is one of them. There's also a lot of movement too in the EU Parliament, which voted in favor of public registries just before the March TED conference, and we've also had some really exciting, stimulating conversations around this in the US, where it's a bit more nascent.
Global Witness is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Are there any big lessons you'd like to share with us after campaigning for so long?
I can't believe it's been 20 years. It's cliché to say that it's flown by, but it really has. I feel honored to have spent the last 20 years doing something that I really believe in, seeing real impact and change happen, being able to work with so many incredible people—and having a lot of fun, despite the grimness of some of the issues we deal with. What I've learned is that with really big problems, the important thing is to start tackling them, and then it becomes like climbing a big mountain: you do it one step at a time. You have a vision for where you're going to get to and you just go for it. I think that people can get discouraged; some global problems seem so complicated that the idea that you can make a difference seems impossible, but I think it takes a relatively small amount of people to make change happen. I remind myself of what Nelson Mandela once said: "A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination."
Global Witness is staffed by people working on a wide range of issues. Why focus on anonymous companies at this point in time?
Because so many of the investigations we were doing across all of our different campaigns revealed that anonymous companies were the vehicle being used to facilitate corruption. They were a key part of the problem, and we began to realize that the culture of "it's fine for companies to be anonymous"—coupled with the fact that banks are simply not implementing the laws they're supposed to around knowing who their customer is—has made a climate where it's entirely possible to loot out an entire country. It's shocking, and it simply has to change. So for us, it's quite clear that the problem of anonymous companies needs to be addressed. They have a huge detrimental impact on the day-to-day reality for people on the ground in many countries around the world. The OECD has said that almost any financial crime involves some shell company somewhere hiding someone's identity. The World Bank studied 200 cases of grand corruption over the last 20 years. Seventy percent of them involved anonymous countries. This is a pervasive problem. While almost all of our investigations come across them, it's hard to put a fixed number on it because, by its very nature, this stuff is illicit and therefore below the radar.
A lot of people at TED had a hard time digesting your wish. I'd like to share a few of their comments and get your response. For example, some people have suggested that the call to end all anonymous companies is unrealistic. Can you speak to that?
Part and parcel of campaigning is hearing peoples' concerns and looking at ways to address them. These are big, complicated issues so inevitably when we start to campaign on them, there are people who just say, "Oh it's too big, it's too complicated, how can you achieve this?" And that's pretty much what's been said about previous campaigns we've done. Take blood diamonds for example. People said, "Well, that's just how it is; you can't change that, that's how the business works." But by showing that it was a massive problem—that the diamond industry was funding war through the buying up of unofficial goods—it helped shift what people thought about the issue. So I think a lot of this is about shifting how people understand the problem and showing that there are solutions to it, even if it looks difficult. Ultimately, there are hundreds of millions of people globally who are affected by corruption, which is partially made possible by the use of anonymous companies. They are vehicles for storing, stashing and moving illicit funds.
You argue that corporate secrecy and political unrest are connected—and that ending anonymous companies is a step towards global stability. Can you break it down for us?
I see anonymous companies as being like the getaway car in the crime of corruption, the kind of corruption that involves looting vital resources from countries rife with poverty and conflict. Take the Democratic Republic of the Congo, one of the poorest countries in the world, but a nation with an immense wealth of natural resources, which of course makes it a target for all kinds of predators. The Kofi Annan led-Africa Progress Panel revealed last year that a minerals deal involving just five mines and several offshore companies which led to the looting of some $1.3 billion from the people of Congo; that's twice the country's annual health and education budget. This has a direct impact on millions of people who are trying to recover from an incredibly brutal civil war.
The Ukraine is a really good example as well. What's come to light is that the 340-acre compound of the President of the Ukraine was actually owned by anonymous companies in the UK and Austria. Information like this was hard to come by before the uprising this year. Much of the information about the previous regime's wealth was only discovered after it had fallen; after documents that had been dumped in a lake were recovered, thanks to the journalists who had divers go in and search for them. They were literally drying the papers with hairdryers, trying to piece together what assets the regime owned. They found evidence of massive corruption. The public anger over concerns about corruption helped to bring people out onto the streets, alongside other issues. This is why we're calling for an end to anonymous companies.
Some people are concerned that the eradication of anonymous companies could endanger their privacy. What do you say to these fears?
People in the U.K. have made some comments about privacy, but the strength of feeling is nowhere near the same as it is in the U.S. People do have a right to personal anonymity, but when someone chooses to use companies to hold their personal assets, they get a lot of advantages for doing that—such as limited liability. This needs to come with some degree of transparency and accountability. This isn't about trying to dive into people's personal details, not at all. In fact, I think that people are over-concerned about that. There is a certain misapprehension it seems. We're talking about a bounded set of information—not all your personal information, but crucial information about the company and who controls it. As a society, we need to make decisions about a balance between personal rights and what we need to do for the collective good. We think this is the right line to draw.
Instead of seeking to abolish anonymous companies outright, why not just go after those people who use them for unethical means?
Because of a lack of public registers, it is impossible to know who they are. This is about trying to change the way that society thinks globally about the problem of corruption—going after individuals and trying to spend huge amounts of police time to "guesstimate" who's trying to loot out estates or traffic drugs or weapons, doesn't change the paradigm itself. And we're trying to change the paradigm of how corruption is currently facilitated and made possible. The ease with which resources and wealth are looted out of countries that should be rich, but are in fact very, very poor, is astounding. It's part of a currently accepted way of doing business and it's that way of doing business that we're challenging. We need to completely re-think the system. We need to look at the problems that are being caused by anonymous companies, which are the root of so much corruption and have a huge impact on hundreds of millions of people globally. I think that people are just beginning to realize this. And I think that's part of what the UK government recognized when it said it's getting behind these laws.
What keeps you going with a campaign as big as this?
The fact that change is possible. If it was super easy to make change happen, than it would have already happened. Also, working with an incredible group of people who are fiercely brave keeps me going—it's inspiring. It's about not feeling daunted when things look far too difficult and complicated to change. I think that the TED Wish is a part of that. This is a big, audacious change that needs to happen. Now's the time to make it happen. Personally, I feel like we're all on this planet for a relatively short period of time—might as well do something useful with it.

In the process, he made dancing an acceptable profession for men and taught several generations of dancers, some of whom went on to become legendary choreographers and performers in their own right, most notably his protégées Martha Graham, Louise Brooks, Doris Humphrey, and Charles Weidman. Shawn tried for many years and with great frustration to tell the story of his life's work in terms of its social and artistic value, but struggled, owing to the fact that he was homosexual, a fact known only within his inner circle of friends. Unwilling to disturb the meticulously narrated account of his paternal exceptionalism, he remained closeted, but scrupulously archived his journals, correspondence, programs, photographs, and motion pictures of his dances, anticipating that the full significance of his life, writing, and dances would reveal itself in time.
Ted Shawn: His Life, Writings, and Dances is the first critical biography of the dance legend, offering an in-depth look into Shawn's pioneering role in the formation of the first American modern dance company and school, the first all-male dance company, and Jacob's Pillow, the internationally renowned dance festival and school located in the Berkshires. The book explores Shawn's writings and dances in relation to emerging discourses of modernism, eugenics and social evolution, revealing an untold story about the ways that Shawn's homosexuality informed his choreographic vision. The book also elucidates the influences of contemporary writers who were leading a radical movement to depathologize homosexuality, such as the British eugenicist Havelock Ellis and sexologist Alfred Kinsey, and conversely, how their revolutionary ideas about sexuality were shaped by Shawn's modernism.

Paul A. Scolieri, Chair & Professor of Dance, Barnard College, Columbia University
Paul A. Scolieri is Chair & Professor of Dance at Barnard College, Columbia University, and the award-winning author of Dancing the New World: Aztecs, Spaniards, and the Choreography of Conquest.
"Impeccably researched, incredibly detailed and super approachable, Scolieri's addition to the existing scholarship on Ted Shawn (1891-1972) is real and thorough." - Heather Desaulniers, CriticalDance
"What a thrill to see Paul A. Scolieri's extensive research brought to life in this magnificent overview of Shawn's life and career! The historical context, contemporary perspective, and personal insights make this book both a revelation and an indispensable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the beginnings of dance in America." - Norton Owen, Director of Preservation, Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival
"Queering the father of American Dance, Paul A. Scolieri masterfully reanimates the life of Ted Shawn from a new perspective in this layered reading of a trailblazer. Revealing Shawn as a difficult and restless artist, Scolieri plumbs archives and images to show how Shawn courted notoriety yet hid his own homosexuality under a veil of homophobia even as he steadily authored a hypermasculine identity for the male dancer. Scolieri excavates Shawn's archives skillfully, illuminating him as a difficult yet pivotal figure in early contemporary American dance history. By tracing confluences between Shawn's gendered aesthetics, eugenic paradigms and emergent sexuality studies, as well as his work as an amateur ethnographic collector of men's dances, Scolieri reveals Shawn's prototype of a male dancer as the product of these layers and shadowed by cultural borrowing and a sensual imagination." - Janice Ross, Professor of Theatre & Performance Studies, Stanford University

Honey Trap
Posted on Aralık 28, 2020 by admin
When Brezida stepped out of the stall, Jack was sitting on the loveseat across from the sinks. She hadn't heard the door open, hadn't heard his footfall against the black tile, but somehow his presence—even in the women's washroom—didn't shock her. After-hours at the restaurant, there was no telling what he might do. One leg crossed the other, his right ankle resting on his left knee. This was Jack's signature pose when seated, though Jack was almost always on his feet.
His gaze followed her to the clear glass basin where she washed her hands, glancing over her shoulder to shoot him a smile. "I've been looking forward to this all day."
"Looking forward to what?" he asked, rising to his feet. The innocence of his tone bordered on snide.
"You know what," she replied, unzipping her purse. "All evening, I couldn't wait to lock the front door, send home the staff and wait for the owner to corner me."
"Brezida," Jack whispered into her hair, hovering close behind her as she bent toward the mirror to freshen her lipstick. Even on a store mannequin, that low-cut wrap-around dress would have given him a hard-on. Oh, who was he kidding? He'd be drooling if he caught a glimpse of it on a wire hanger. But the classy striped dress, just barely clinging to Brezida's flesh, beckoned him all through her shift.
"Brazilian Brezida," he growled, digging her tits out of her black lace bra. They were perfect. Firm but yielding, they seemed to melt into his hands. He pressed them together, watching in the mirror as her cleavage augmented threefold.
"I'm from El Salvador, you ignorant low-life," Brezida teased, rubbing her ass against him.
He took in a sharp breath and the familiar scent of her perfume filled his lungs. As she massaged his hard cock with her fleshy posterior, Jack ran both hands down the front of her dress. "I wasn't talking countries of origin."
Brezida smirked, spreading her legs. When he rubbed her pussy through the smooth fabric of that erection-enhancing dress, she writhed against his hand. "You want a Brazilian?" she murmured, grasping his fingers as she lifted her skirt. "Here it is."
When he plunged his eager fingers beneath her sheer g-string, she guided them down her baby-smooth mound and between her soft lips. Her slit was bursting with juice when he slid his fingers inside. God, he couldn't wait to fuck her, and she'd be begging for it in a minute, but Jack liked to take his time, to tease his managing partner. He rubbed her clit, stepping backward and pulling up the hem of her dress so they could watch in the mirror. Brezida let her g-string fall to the floor. Her big tits heaved as she writhed against Jack's hand.
Her stiletto heel stabbed his toe when she pushed against him, forcing him down on the sofa.
"You just can't wait for it, can you?" he said with a devilish smirk.
"I can't wait to fuck you." Her breath was hot on his lips. "I can't wait to feel your huge cock in my cunt. I can't wait to throw my tits in your face and feel your tongue all over them."
Jack could take a hint. As she fished a condom from the depths of her purse, he pressed his face into her breasts until he could barely breathe. "God, I love your tits!"
"I love your cock," she cooed, rubbing its drooling tip through his black slacks. She undid his belt and the fly of his pants, his firm erection from his jockey shorts and stroking it between her palms. "Just taking this huge thing in my hands gets me so wet."
"Does it? Does my cock turn you on?"
"Oh yeah," she growled, slipping a condom down the length of his firm shaft. With the snap of latex, his cock pulsed against her palm.
"How about this?" he asked, sucking her aroused nipple into his mouth.
Brezida moaned, throwing her head back so her long black hair landed against his balls. "I love that!"
"What else?" Jack asked, switching tits. "Tell me what else turns you on."
Smacking her clit with his sheathed hard-on, she turned toward the frosted glass of the women's bathroom door. Some figment of her imagination must have given her a fright, because she paused, distracted, staring at the brushed nickel door handle like it was about to turn. She shook her head, sending black hair flailing. "I think we have rats."
"What restaurant doesn't?" he replied with a shrug. "Come on, now, sit on my cock."
She hovered over him like she might change her mind, like she might decide she didn't want to fuck him today after all. A keen smirk bled across her lips as she canlı bahis grasped the base of his shaft. Falling on his firm cock, she let it pierce her core. She cried out like its mass was killing her, and her thrill sent a shiver right through him. Pulling her close, he sucked hard on her tits.
"You want to know what turns me on?" she cried, running her hands through his hair. She spoke loudly, almost shouting. "You want to know what really turns me on, Jack Bannerman? That you're here with me while you're wife's at home in bed. I love that you lie to her. I love that you fuck me every night after the restaurant closes and she's totally clueless about it."
"Yeah?" Jack asked with a breathy laugh.
"Really? That gets you hot?"
"Oh yes, Jack Bannerman. Or should I say Mayor Bannerman?"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," Jack gushed, warmed by her confidence. "The election's two weeks away."
"Oh, you'll win it, Jack," Brezida cried, hurling herself at his cock. Her pussy devoured it all the way to the root, until he was swimming in her juices. She was so wet her nectar streamed through his pubic hair, soaking his balls.
"Doesn't it turn you on, Jack Bannerman? Doesn't it get you hot, knowing this whole town thinks you're Mr Morality? And here you are every night, getting fucked by a slut from the restaurant."
Did it turn him on? Jack growled like a grizzly. He pressed her tits together and drove his face between them, licking them, sucking them, kissing them in a frenzy. "Brezida!" he howled, bucking up at her so she bounced in his lap. "Yeah, give it to me, you little slut. Your tits are mine!"
"Shit, yeah, Mr Mayor. My tits are yours!" she cried, licking his ear.
"You think you can give it up around town, but your tight cunt is mine. You're all mine."
"I'm all yours, Mayor Bannerman!"
Releasing her breasts, he grasped her hips, holding her body still as he drove his hard cock up inside her. She threw her head back and opened her sweet red lips. Her tits heaved and fell, bouncing with every thrust he issued. As her long hair fell against his throbbing balls, Jack pressed his face against her chest, crying out.
She pulled away from him, leaning back until her hands were behind her, resting on his knees, and he couldn't reach her nipples. "Say my name."
"Brezida!" he cried, and she leaned forward so he could press his face into her luscious tits as he came. Gasping, he looked up into her eyes.
"Wow! That was fucking incredible."
"Shit, yeah it was, Mayor Bannerman," she agreed, lovingly petting his cheek as she assessed him with large hazel eyes.
Crawling from his lap, she collapsed on the sofa as Jack stood up to lose the condom and wash the tell-tale pussy juice from his pants. She tucked her tits back into her bra and arranged her dress as he headed for the bathroom door.
"You're leaving?" she hollered as he reached for the handle.
Turning on his heels, he asked, "Do I have your permission?"
She stared at the frosted glass door, wide-eyed.
"Afraid of the rats?" Jack laughed.
Snapping back into reality, Brezida teased, "If I had an aversion to rats, I wouldn't be fucking you every night."
Grinning, Jack opened the door and sauntered between the tables stacked with chairs. "Hasta mañana, Brezida," he sang, locking the door on his way out.
She waited half a minute before whispering, "Valentine? Where the hell are you, you son of a bitch?" Creeping out of the bathroom, she scanned the restaurant. "I thought for sure Jack was going to see you scurrying beside the washroom door."
Rising up from behind the bar, the man in black jeans and a turtleneck sweater replied, "I never have to deal with this bullshit when I shoot weddings."
"Like hell you don't," she scoffed. "I've heard all about those bridezillas—they're a hell of a lot worse than me. So, I guess you didn't get any shots, huh?"
"Through the frosted glass? How could I? Well, I mean, I took a few but you just look like a pair of blobs."
"How was I supposed to know you'd end up screwing in the bathroom? You said you usually fuck on the dining tables or on the bar."
"We do," she said, puzzled. "Do you think Jack's on to us?"
"Don't ask me," the artiste replied, fiddling with his camera before setting it down on the bar. "Why are you after incriminating photos anyway?"
"I already told Carmina; do you two never talk? There's a rumour going around that if Jack bahis siteleri wins the election, he'll get his brother Paul to take over the restaurant. Paul doesn't know shit about the business, and on top of that he hates my guts. I've poured too much of my soul into this place to see it crumble."
"So, this is purely business blackmail?" Valentine asked, oozing with scepticism.
"Yes," she replied, folding her arms across her chest.
"Nothing personal at all?"
She stared him down, but he didn't budge.
Valentine looked her over, up her legs, across her chest, through her hair. "You could model, you know."
Brezida rolled her eyes. "Hardly! My ass is huge…" She turned to show him, giving it a little spank. The clingy fabric of her dress rippled at the attention. "But then, Carmina mentioned you were an ass man."
"Yeah, but I'm distraught that you put your tits away," he flirted. "I heard through the door that they're spectacular."
"Jack seems to like them." Brezida shrugged, grappling with the images flashing through her mind, of Valentine fucking her doggy-style. No, she couldn't do her sister's guy. What a horrible thought. "Come on, Valentine. We shouldn't be talking like this."
"Why not?" he asked, stepping out from behind the bar. He was hard already. She could see that plain as day.
"You're with Carmina."
"The family would roast me like a pig if they found out."
"If they found out what?" he asked, taking another step forward.
She bit her tongue not to say the words. If it were guaranteed Carmina would never find out, she would fuck Valentine in a heartbeat.
"I need to get some chairs out of the back," she said, fleeing his melting stare.
When she arrived at the stack of plush dining chairs in the dark back room, Valentine was right behind her, so close she could almost feel his jeans against her dress. He moved in, pressing his hard cock cloaked in denim against her ass crack.
"Ohhh…" Brezida sighed, leaning against the stack of chairs and pressing her butt back.
"Can I feel this Brazilian I've heard so much about?" He knew about the Brazilian. He'd heard everything through the door. He knew precisely which sounds Brezida made when she got fucked, knew how she talked dirty to her lover…
Taking his hand in hers, she slid it between her thighs; she hadn't bothered finding her underwear in the bathroom, so she was totally bare right now. Valentine cupped her mound, squeezing it, planting kisses at the back of her neck. His fingers fell into her wet slit.
"Shit, that's good!" She whispered, as though somebody might hear them.
"You like that?" he asked, his breath warm against her shoulder.
"Yeah," she replied, pulling up her dress. His hands caressed the expanse of her flesh before he unzipped his fly. Digging through her purse, she found a lubricated condom and threw the bag to the floor. As he slid the latex on, she released her tits from their prisons of lace. "Here, feel these."
Valentine reached around, his cock resting between her ass cheeks as he squeezed his girlfriend's sister's breasts. Brezida squirmed with anticipation as he fondled her tits, sliding his cock between two mountains of flesh.
"Fuck me, Valentine."
"Yes," she hissed. "Just do it. Just fuck me and don't tell anyone."
"If you insist," he chuckled, his big cock penetrating her ready cunt.
"Shit yeah!" she cried at the feeling of that huge thing parting the engorged flesh of her pussy lips, thrusting inside her body.
As his hips pounded her rear, his hands enveloped her breasts, moulding them like clay. He pressed them together, hard, held them there as he fucked her.
"Fuck my ass!" Brezida cried. She wanted it.
She turned her head to look him in the eye. "You don't want to?"
Valentine's face lit up. "No, I want to! I want to!"
"Then do it," she cried as the boiler clicked. "Just don't tell anybody. Don't tell Carmina."
"Like I would…"
His cock slid from her pleasured pussy, wet with natural lube. It worked its way up until his head was poking rhythmically at her ass. She knew how bad it was to do it like this, without loads of lubricant, but she just didn't care. Tomorrow, when she was split and sore, she would surely chastise herself, but right now? Right now she wanted what she wanted.
Grasping her hips, Valentine pressed into her and the tip of bahis şirketleri his cock asserted itself, bullying a path inside. His cockhead seemed to grow, inflate, and expand in all directions. He was huge inside her ass, and it burned like she couldn't take it, but she knew if she held out for ten seconds or so it would all be fine. She pushed back against him, thrust her ass at him, because she needed to feel his cock further up inside her. It didn't matter than it burned a little; the pleasure licked the pain until the pain became pleasure.
The heating system clicked on as Brezida pounded her ass against the man she shouldn't be fucking. It clicked again as he whimpered and growled in alternation.
"I can't believe you're letting me do your ass!" Valentine fondled her tits, thumbing her nipples, squeezing. Hard.
"My ass loves devouring a big cock," she cried as his fingers fell down to her wet slit. When he rubbed her clit, she lost it. She didn't care about anything but the cock in her ass and the fingers massaging her.
Either did Valentine, it seemed. He fucked her hard, whimpering and whining as a man in the corridor chuckled, "This is perfect. Keep going." She knew that gravel voice all too well, and she froze at the sound of it.
"Jack!" Brezida cried, her heart turning to ice.
He stood at the entrance to the darkened room, Valentine's camera in his hands. What was he doing here? Why had he come back? And why the hell was Valentine still thrusting away? They'd been caught! It was time to face the music.
Her impulse to flee subsided as she perceived the look of pleasure in Jack's eyes. He licked his lips, watching the contortions of her face as Valentine pumped inside her. She was getting fucked up the ass, and Jack was getting off on it! When he snapped another shot, she gripped the stack of chairs. Two sets of eyes and the camera lens loved her. Caught in the act, she bucked back against her sister's boyfriend. Her whole body tightened up, her ass taking Valentine's cock in a vice grip.
"Oh god!" Valentine yelped, squeezing her cheeks hard as he came.
"Thank you, my friend." Jack addressed Valentine with utter calm. "I would shake your hand, but I know where it's been."
"What are you doing here?" Brezida stammered, exhausted, as Valentine slid his cock from her ass. She didn't move from her rumpled position over the stack of chairs.
"Your sister's going to love these shots. The best porn is homemade porn, if you ask me." Jack clicked another picture. "You thought you could catch me in a honey trap, but if you were smart, you wouldn't have inserted yourself into the equation. That was probably your biggest mistake, though hiring a close friend of mine to take the pictures wasn't too wise either. Next time, do your homework."
She could feel her cheeks turning crimson. "I'm sorry, Jack. It was nothing against you; it was just business. I wanted to protect the restaurant. We've invested so much of ourselves in this place."
Pulling his pants up and fastening them, Valentine sauntered over to the corridor and stood behind Jack. He snapped another photo before she could tuck her tits back into her bra. "I know. That's why I was planning to sign the place over to you after the election."
Weak-kneed, Brezida grasped the stack of chairs. "You still could. We can forget this ever happened, right?"
Handing the camera back to Valentine, Jack swaggered over to Brezida and traced his fingertips down her chest. She froze as he leaned in close. "You know what I've only just realized?"
"What?" she stammered, greeting his burn with a fire of her own. "What is it, Jack?"
"I liked watching you get fucked up the ass even better than I liked fucking you."
A wave of relief came over her. "I liked you watching me."
"I loved that look on your face as Valentine shoved his big cock in your little asshole. You were hurting, you dirty little slut. I loved it."
"I loved it too," she whimpered, running her hands down his chest.
Taking a step back, Jack scratched his chin, looking up like he was asking a question of the rafters. "I think I will give you the restaurant after all."
"If and only if we can put an end to our ridiculous affair. In its place, I want to watch Valentine fuck you up the ass every night. How does that sound?"
"I could definitely get into that," Valentine cheered.
With a malicious smirk, Jack continued, "This is all contingent, of course, on my winning the election."
Pulling herself up from the stack of chairs, she stood tall before the two men. Brezida cleared her throat and smoothed her dress. "Then I'll go door to door for you. I'll be your number one supporter, Mayor Bannerman."

Q: Updating an old C# So I'm a fairly new developer, and was hoping someone might explain some things to me and help me understand how I can complete my task.
Okay so we have a "Web aplication" for one of our services that was written in C# quite some time ago. It has come to my employers attention, and he has requested me to update it to the newest framework/add or remove packages and make it build again (it doesn't build right now).
So the issue comes when I am adding packages. I have tried the old method of copying DLL files that are missing manually since the VPC does not allow for "NuGet" usage. I have tried to do this at home with NuGet and still failed.
Mostly I get errors of type:

Could not load file or assembly 'DocumentFormat.OpenXml,
Version=2.0.5022.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken="CustomNumber"' or
one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition
does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT:
0x80131040).

Note: CustomNumber represents the public key token I just didn't copy it.
One is for DocumentFormat.OpenXml the other is for Ajax.min control toolkit.
Can anyone give me any pointers or explanations on how to update old projects, or how to even solve them?
Is there a specific way or method on how you solve problems like this or is it just basic googling untill you burn? (I have tried googling but I still got stuck)

A: Did you add a reference to WindowsBase?
VS 2019 / VS 2017:
In VS menu,

*

*Click Project

*Select Add Reference...

*Click Assemblies

*Check WindowsBase

*Click OK
Also see: How to include the reference of DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll on Mono2.10?
If you're looking for the latest version, you'll want to look at:
What's new in .NET 5
What is .NET Framework
Download .NET, .NET Core, and .NET Framework
Github: Open-XML-SDK
NuGet: DocumentFormat.OpenXml
Since you stated that you're a "fairly new developer", below is some information that may be useful to you.
ildasm
If you're interested in viewing which assemblies are used in a .NET DLL file or .NET .exe file, you can use ildasm.exe from the Windows Kit.

*

*Download and install Windows 10 SDK (if not already installed): https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk/
Note: SDKs can be found in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\ (ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows)
ildasm.exe can be found in one or more of the following locations (given that the SDK was installed in the default location):
Win 10:

*

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools\x64

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.7.2 Tools

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.7.2 Tools\x64

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.2 Tools

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.2 Tools\x64
...

Win 8.1:

*

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\x64

Win 7:

*

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\x64

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\

*`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\x64

Run ildasm.exe

*

*Double-click ildasm.exe to run it (or open a cmd window and type ildasm.exe)

*Click File

*Select Open

*Choose your DLL file or .exe file (ex: TestDLL35.dll)

*Double-click MANIFEST to open it in a new window

You'll see something like the following:

...

When you see: .assembly extern <name> (ex: .assembly extern System.Core), this specifies an assembly that is required. Look at .ver inside the curly brackets to see the version of the assembly being used. For a .NET assembly this, is the .NET version for that library (ex: 3:5:0:0), shows that .NET 3.5 is used.

If one looks at ".ver" for .assembly DocumentFormat.OpenXml, the version shows as 2:0:5022:0 which is version 2.0.5022.0.

NuGet packages
Here's some information about NuGet packages, if you install one (at home). If one installs a NuGet package, it can be found in  %UserProfile%\.nuget\packages. For example, the latest NuGet package DocumentFormat.OpenXml, can be found in C:\Users\<username>\.nuget\packages\open-xml-sdk\<version>\lib\<.NET version> (ex: C:\Users\TestUser\.nuget\packages\open-xml-sdk\2.9.1\lib\net46). OpenXml version 2.0, can be found in NuGet package DocumentFormat.OpenXmlSDK (C:\Users\<username>\.nuget\packages\documentformat.openxmlsdk\2.0.0\lib\Net35)
In Visual Studio, the following setting determines whether or not the .NuGet package is copied to your local project folder:
In VS menu:

*

*Click Tools

*Select Options

*Expand NuGet Package Manager

*Click General

*Under Package Management, look at the value for Default package management format.

Note: When Packages.config is specified, and a .NuGet package is installed in your project, it will be downloaded to %UserProfile%\.nuget\packages\<NuGet package name> and then copied to your solution folder (or project folder) to a folder called "packages". If PackageReference is specified, the .NuGet package is installed in your project, and it will be downloaded to %UserProfile%\.nuget\packages\<NuGet package name> where your project will reference it which ensures that all of your projects use the same version of the NuGet package (it won't be copied to your solution folder/project folder). Also some settings are different in the .csproj file.
The file you listed above may be from the NuGet package DocumentFormat.OpenXmlSDK (v.2.0.0) which looks like it requires .NET 3.5. The newest/lastest NuGet package for OpenXml is DocumentFormat.OpenXml (v.2.12.1) and DLL's exist for .NET 3.5, .NET 4.0, and .NET 4.6.
See Package references (PackageReference) in project files and Migrate from packages.config to PackageReference

A: Due to error, it is mostly caused by your pc environment and your PC cannot find DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll version 2.0.5022.0. So one solution is to add this dll into GAC so that your environment can find that.

Weihan and Greer met when he came to her school for a social event. They exchanged numbers and have been together ever since. They were both a little camera shy, which for the life of me I cannot understand because they are so photogenic! I mean really Greer, those lips! Gah!
Thank you guys for gracing my camera with your faces!

Exports of Burgundy wines have risen sharply since mid-2005. Although 2008 did not start as strongly as 2007, the 2007/2008 sales campaign is still the second best campaign carried out in Burgundy (after 2006/2007) thanks to an excellent year-end in 2007.
The export market is the main sales driver for Burgundy wines allowing 51% of production to be sold. This figure exceeds that of all the other wine-growing regions in France.
The volume exported, over the twelve months ending July 2008, stood at 104.2 million units, which is a reduction of 2%. This fall is relative, as this figure represents nearly 10 million bottles more than the 2005/2006 campaign. Export earnings for the last campaign were up 3.5%, reaching almost 700 million euros.
Since the beginning of the year the effects of the crisis have been particularly felt on two of Burgundy wines' principal import markets: the UK and the USA. This fall has been partially compensated by growth in new markets such as Asia and South America.


With technology and social media, we now have at our fingertips a never-ending stream of tips and motivational material. This is both a blessing and a curse. Obviously, it is a great advantage to have access to so much content. The flip side, though, is that it can feel like information overload. We can quickly become paralyzed and not implement anything.
Here's my suggestion: Don't beat yourself up that you can't read and implement all of it. Instead, incrementally improve your skills by focusing on what you do learn and can implement. And remember…everyone is in the same boat. We each have only so much capacity to process information.
So don't go to a place of feeling overwhelmed. Instead, pat yourself on the back for what you are improving upon each day. Even if it feels small, it really is quite significant.
I'm on this tangent for one simple reason: Your competitors are not taking the time to read. There's an old expression (of which I cannot remember who first said it) that goes something like this… if you want to be an expert in your field, all you have to do is read for 30 minutes a day for two years and you'll have amassed more knowledge about your subject than your competition. I know what you're saying, "Who's got 30 minutes of extra time each day?" The point is not the 30 minutes. The point is all you have to do is something that allows you to expand your knowledge on a daily basis. Within time, you will be more knowledgeable than your customers and your competitors.
So don't concentrate on reading everything. Simply concentrate on reading something.
