The 90-foot, red-and-white striped tower of the Harbour Town Lighthouse on Hilton Head Island is the visual centerpiece of the popular Sea Pines, located in Hilton Head South Carolina. Its light flashes white every two and a half seconds and helps mark the Inland Waterway and Calibogue Sound. The Harbour Town Lighthouse on Hilton Head Island is a must see for anyone visiting Hilton Head South Carolina. Visitors who climb the lighthouse steps will find an excellent spot from which to view Hilton Head Island and to have their pictures taken!
Hilton Head Island is a town located on an island of the same name in Beaufort County, South Carolina. Hilton Head Island is 45 miles (72 km) north of Savannah, Georgia, and 95 miles (152 km) south of Charleston, South Carolina. The island features 12 miles of beachfront on the Atlantic Ocean and is a popular vacation destination.
The island is served by the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport and by the Hilton Head Airport which is on-island. Hilton Head Island is famous for its world class golf courses and each year hosts the Verizon Heritage Classic Tournament, which is played on the Harbour Town Golf Links in Sea Pines Plantation.
Though known mainly as a tourist destination, Hilton Head is home to many 'native islanders', made up of African American communities that have lived on the island for generations and other groups who have migrated from northern states.
The beginning of Hilton Head as a resort started in 1956 with Charles Fraser developing Sea Pines Plantation, with the centerpiece being Harbour Town.
Many of the island's earliest residents, sometimes called Geechees, spoke Gullah. Although threatened by the rapid increase in tourism Gullah culture can be seen at the annual Gullah festival, tours offered by native islanders and at craft shops around the Low Country.


The below article was originally released at theundergroundinvestor.com on 28 March, 2013.
A lot of people have asked my opinion about bitcoin and I often have given a generic answer similar to the following: "Bitcoin is better than fiat but worse than physical silver or gold", an answer that seems to make bitcoin fanatics lose their minds as if I am "hating" on bitcoins. However, this is so far from reality that I decided to write a more detailed explanation about what I like about bitcoin but why I don't consider bitcoin to be sound money, nearly as solid (no pun intended) as owning 100% physical gold or physical silver, and why precious metals still trump bitcoins on a risk/reward analysis enough that I still favor the accumulation of physical gold and physical silver over the accumulation of BTCs. Furthermore, given the recent bitcoin price explosion and the negative media beating gold and silver have taken recently, I wanted to release this article now rather than as a reaction to problems that I feel BTCs will encounter down the road that would lead to accusations of "Monday morning quarterbacking". I think if you are a bitcoin advocate that you will find my logic in this article to be totally rational. Bitcoin is infinitely better than fiat money because unlike fiat currency, in which only a few families in the entire world maintain the power to create this type of money, with bitcoin, those that own infrastructure with enough of the considerable processing power necessary to run the bitcoin network can create new bitcoins. So while there are computer infrastructure limitations on who can create new bitcoins and not everyone has the money to own the type of infrastructure needed to create bitcoins, this is the only limitation one has on being able to create new bitcoins until the maximum pre-designated limit is reached. However, this barrier to entry is a significant barrier as, according to the World Food Program, nearly 1 in 7 people suffer from malnutrition and go to sleep hungry every single night and it is doubtful that any of these people could ever afford a $2,499 50GH/s bitcoin miner. Furthermore, nearly 2/3rds of the world, according to statistics compiled by Nielson Online, the International Telecommunications Union, et al, are not yet connected to the internet, which makes it problematic to create or purchase bitcoins for a large percentage of the world's population. However, it is a myth propagated by the anti-Precious Metals community that gold and silver are beyond the reach of the world's poor. In India, there are prolific anecdotal stories of the poor converting rupees into gold when it is possible for them to do so to guard against the wealth destruction inflicted upon them by Indian bankers.
Secondly, all fiat currency is created as debt. Every dollar, Euro, Yen and Pound Sterling is created with an interest component that must be paid off, which means that devaluation, or more simply put, "banker theft of your wealth held in fiat currencies", is an inevitable fact of "modern" fiat currency. Bitcoins are created without this debt component. If government treasuries worldwide directly created money instead of bowing down to the private banking families that own Central Banks and surrendering this power, then fiat currencies could be created without a debt component as well. Thus, this distinction between bitcoins and fiat currency is merely one of power. If government treasury departments worldwide were more powerful than the private banking cartels, or had not already been co-opted by these families a long time ago, they could feasibly seize control over the creation of fiat money, and voila, fiat money would no longer be created with a built-in debt component that enslaves humanity. US President John F. Kennedy tried to remove the power of money creation from these families many decades ago and failed. Bankers were furious of Kennedy's attempt to free humanity from their immoral control and it has been widely speculated that they played a significant role in his execution .
Thirdly, bitcoins are capped at a supply of 20,999,999.9769 BTC, whereas the private banking families that own a monopoly on fiat money creation can push a button and create as much, unlimited digital Euros, Yen, Pound Sterling, and US dollars as they want. Another resounding checkmark for bitcoins over fiat currency. According to BitCoin's FAQ page, BTCs are "based on the cryptography that is an integral part of its structure, and that is readily available for any and all to see. Instead of one entity keeping track of transactions, the entire network does. Though the developers of BitCoin aver that it would be extremely difficult to create BTCs that escape detection due to its security infrastructure, they also admit that this task is not foolproof and "it can be cheated." Perhaps some brilliant genius will figure out a way to expand the bitcoin supply more than 20,999,999,999.9769 BTCs, but I concede the point that this will be extremely difficult to execute. To the contrary, all private bankers that run the world's Central Banks are currently actively counterfeiting dollars, yen, pound sterling and Euros right now (just refer to this article). Again, yet another win for BTCs over fiat currency.
So yes, I do agree with all BTC advocates that the above discussion points are very solid points for holding BTCs over fiat. But I disagree strongly with the BTC fanatics that are so blinded by BTCs' recent run higher on the back of the Cyprus fiasco that they cannot see the dangers that are also associated with BTCs over the long run. So here is why physical gold and silver still trumps BTCs as the best form of sound money, hands down. With all the positives of BTCs I discussed above, why do I still vehemently stand firm to my position that BTCs are infinitely better than fiat currency yet still does not fit the definition of sound money? The answer is actually a quite simple and logical one. The private banking families that have a stranglehold on all monetary creation today in wide distribution view any competitive currency to their counterfeit fiat currency as a currency to be crushed with an iron fist. These private banking cartels that own and run Central Banks will not tolerate any type of serious competition and will seek to either strip all owners of bitcoins of their BTCs or to destroy the BTC network as they definitely view BTCs as a threat to their criminal system even if they haven't yet expressly voiced this opinion. The theft in Cyprus should illustrate how quickly bankers can turn people's lives upside down at a moment's notice. The founder of bitcoin states that the BTC network remains secure "as long as honest nodes collectively control more CPU power than any group of attacking nodes…If a majority of CPU power is controlled by honest nodes, the honest chain will grow the fastest and outpace any competing chains…If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have to choose between using it to defraud people by stealing back his payments, or using it to generate new coins…We proposed a peer-to-peer network using proof-of-work to record a public history of transactions that quickly becomes computationally impractical for an attacker to change if honest nodes control a majority of CPU power."
Thus, a huge assumption is necessary at this point to trust that the BTC network will not, and has not been hacked or infiltrated by agents unfriendly to the interests of BTC holders. That assumption is that bankers have ignored BTC up to this point and have not infiltrated the network as agent provocateurs that are posing as honest people that support the BTC model. If bankers have already infiltrated the BTC network, then BTCs have counterparty risk just like fiat currency because bankers can now defraud people. In addition, if assessing the above statement, "if a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes", who is greedier and has more resources than bankers? No one. Who is best known for pumping commodities sky high very quickly, only to deliberately crash them to make money on both the upside and downside? The bankers. These are all real possibilities BTC owners must consider as BTCs have soared but have not experienced any significant correction as of yet. However, the only way bankers can introduce counterparty risk to physical gold and silver owners is by producing fake tungsten filled bars or impure bars and selling them as four nine fine bars (99.99%). However, sophisticated but simple ultrasound testing can easily spot this banker fraud with gold and silver so the counterparty risk is non-existent as long as all bullion is tested. I think it is naïve to not assume that bankers have had their eye on BTCs since the day they were first introduced several years ago.
Again, many may say it is a stretch to state that bankers have already infiltrated the nodes that control the majority of CPU power, but the reality is that no one can really accurately assess the likelihood of this possibility having already occurred, as if bankers were to have infiltrated the bitcoin network, they would not be as stupid as to reveal their identity. I do believe it is inevitable that bankers will attack the BTC network. It is just a matter of how they will do it. Just research how the private bankers went after Bernard von NotHaus, stole his silver and gold from his warehouse, imprisoned him, and used their control of the legal system to have US Attorney Anne M. Tompkins, in her own words, say that NotHaus's "attempts to undermine the legitimate currency (USD) of the [United States of America]" were an "act of domestic terrorism." This ruling alone should serve notice to BTC users that all banker–controlled governments (which is every government in the world) clearly view all BTC holders as terrorists as well and will eventually seek to destroy all BTCs. The only point of contention is whether or not they will have success in their efforts. In fact, two years after his arrest, von NotHaus has still not been sentenced, and just this week he filed for a re-trial or dismissal of his case as the "Justice" department has had great difficulty indicting von NotHaus of clear "intent to counterfeit money." Of course we report this with great irony as Anne Tompkins has taken great care to uphold the illegitimate currency of the Federal Reserve and the US Justice Department could convict the Feds and all commercial banks of clear intent to counterfeit money beyond a shadow of a doubt within five minutes of testimony from any competent person that understands the mechanisms of our modern day banking system.
That said, I'm not here to debate whether the agents of these bankers could possibly corrupt the BTC system, counterfeit BTCs deliberately, or deliberately cause frequent flash crashes in the BTC valuation that discredits its use as money. I know that BTC's founders state that all of the aforementioned are nearly impossible to accomplish, but I sincerely believe that nothing is ever impossible. Extremely difficult? Yes. Impossible? No. BTC has already suffered a couple of flash crashes due to its digital nature. Yes, I am aware that governments could choose to come after not only BTC owners but all physical gold and silver owners as all pro-BTC, anti-gold people state. However, since probably over 90% of gold and silver owners are also gun owners, I believe it would be more difficult for bankers to send cops, soldiers, etc into people's homes to steal their physical gold and silver without suffering major casualties versus finding some way to confiscate digital bytes of air. Again, confiscating digital money and physical assets are both possible, but the mechanism for confiscation of something that is digital will always be easier than confiscating something in someone's physical possession.
So let's now look at why I believe that gold and silver are superior to BTCs as sound money. It is absolutely a lie propagated by bankers that deflation leads to recession and no economic growth. Bankers hate deflation because people's wealth grows under deflation and they lose control over the people as the people's wealth grows. This is the number one reason why we have had continuous inflation in every country after private banking families and cartels established a unified system of control, otherwise known as the Central Banking system. During the 1800s in the US, there was steady consistent economic growth for nearly an entire century in which deflation persisted for most of this time. The only reason the price index was nearly the same in the early 1900s as it was in the early 1800s, despite this prolonged period of consistent deflation and economic growth, was the massive inflation and economic instability that accompanied the abandonment of the gold standard during the Civil War. Though people may love a scenario in which their money's purchasing power increases sharply over time, continued steep deflation over long periods of time is not a desirable quality for sound money as such a scenario will eventually lead to a period of steep inflation. I believe that sound money should exhibit price stability over time. Price stability over extended periods of time is a necessary quality for money to possess to grant people confidence in being able to assess and plan for the longevity of their savings. For example, because bankers have destroyed the purchasing power of the Euro, the Pound Sterling, the USD in recent decades, 75-year old retirees that thought their savings were adequate to last the rest of their lives are now seeking employment again (Just read this article "The Greatest Retirement Crisis In American History" in which millions of elderly Americans are described as "too frail to work, too poor to retire"). Since one gold coin could buy you about the equivalent amount of goods today as it could several thousand years ago during the Roman empire, we already know that gold exhibits price stability over a huge duration of time.
BTCs' common trait with all fiat currencies ultimately precludes it from ever serving as sound money. BTCs have zero intrinsic worth as it is a 100% digital currency backed by nothing but air. On BTC's own website, the founders of BTC state the BTCs have value "because they are scarce." While true, scarcity is only one of many fundamental traits that all sound money must possess, including durability, being easily divisible, consistency, and having intrinsic value. BTCs are easily divisible, even more so than gold, are consistent, but unfortunately lack durability (as they are backed by air) and intrinsic value. In my opinion, the most significant characteristic of all the prerequisites of sound money, and the one most vital to protecting the interests of the people that own this form of money, is the possession of intrinsic value. Though a BTC's valuation originates primarily from its scarcity, divisibility and growing acceptance, it is still a digital currency backed by the commodity of air, and this presents a huge problem for BTCs serving as a stable store of value over long periods of time. Of course, since BTCs have only been in existence for a little over four years, we do not have a large enough sample at the present time to fully understand how BTCs will serve as a store of value over time. However, bitcoins' founders admit that BTCs are "vulnerable to price manipulation. It doesn't take significant amounts of money to move the market price up or down and thus bitcoin remains a volatile asset." Gold and silver owners also realize that gold and silver prices are vulnerable to immense price manipulation as well, as we have seen over the past decade, so vulnerability to price manipulation alone does not exclude a money from qualifying as sound money.
The billion dollar question (inflated from the standard million dollar question, which is now not worth nearly as much today), is the "escapability" factor from price manipulation.
And this is where intrinsic value comes into play. Currently, millions upon millions of paper ounces of gold and silver backed by nothing but air are sold into the market by large players like HSBC, JP Morgan, Scottia Mocatta, et al for the sole purpose of suppressing the price and introducing volatility into the price. People that don't understand this banker manipulation will be shocked in the future when gold moves higher by several hundred dollars an ounce and silver by five dollars an ounce in a single day. These immoral bankers have wreaked havoc on the price stability of gold and silver as bankers have committed reverse alchemy and have turned hard assets into air through their invention of paper derivative products that have fooled the masses into believing they are as good as physical when clearly they are not. However, as REAL PHYSICAL demand for gold and silver keeps increasing and REAL PHYSICAL supplies of gold and silver simultaneously keeps dwindling, the reality of the physical markets will eventually trump the banker shenanigans in the paper markets and eventually lead to the collapse of gold and silver futures contracts in New York and London. The fact that people can opt out of these "fake" gold and silver markets by purchasing the hard assets of physical gold and silver will eventually trump all the scams bankers have executed to manipulate gold and silver prices.
However, with BTCs, demand and supply for air/digital bytes provide no manipulation "escapability" for BTCs. In the event that BTCs are not manipulated but banker-controlled governments resort to shutting down BTCs or threatening jail time for anyone caught making transactions with BTCs, then one can escape to another country and use BTCs. Bankers can of course, resort to the same threats with those holding gold and silver. However, nearly every informed gold and silver owner also holds physical gold/silver outside of their country of residence. Since physical gold and silver are universally accepted as money in all 193 countries in this world, gold and silver not only provide better "escapability" from manipulation but also from banker confiscation.
I have mentioned that price stability is necessary for a commodity to be determined to be sound money. However, once the physical gold and silver markets escape the bankers' manipulation throes, we are likely to not see very much stability but huge volatile swings in price with the direction of these swings, both up and down, eventually bringing forth much higher prices. However, this temporary instability will only exist because there has never been a free market price for gold and silver since any of us have been alive. Once gold and silver prices are no longer suppressed by bankers and allowed to settle into a free-market price, then mild, instead of massive, volatility would become the norm and perhaps like the bulk of the period between 1800 and 1900 we would experience a steady slow period of mild deflation and relative price stability. A medium of money that has intrinsic value is ALWAYS better than money that lacks intrinsic value because it allows the owner of that money to punish the creators of that money should they ever commit fraud. If those in control of the gold standard commit fraud by creating more money without buying the gold to back the creation of additional money, this fraud will always be evident through inflation of the currency, and the loss of purchasing power. When people note this, under a gold standard, people bring their devalued notes to bankers and convert them into gold at a higher rate than the true valuation of the notes. Consequently, bankers are forced to return an asset of intrinsic value, gold, to the people, while they receive devalued and counterfeited notes in return. Yes, money with intrinsic value allows the people to have power over the bankers and call their bluff. History has proven this point. People called the bankers' bluff and demanded gold for their devalued notes with the gold-backed Pound Sterling after WWI and again, with the gold-backed USD in the early 1970s, even though neither system used an ideal 100% fully gold-backed currency. So even a pseudo-gold standard allows people to call a banker's bluff.
The problem with all fiat currency in widespread use today all over the world is that all fiat currencies have zero intrinsic valuation. Thus under this current fraudulent fiat monetary system, one cannot call the bluff of the bankers when they commit the fraud. Since all fiat money has an intrinsic value of zero, all one can do is trade one currency backed by air for another currency backed by air. This is a huge inherent problem with BTCs as well, as the founders of BTCs state that they have "no inherent value." In conclusion, BTCs are great as a medium of exchange in the short-term, and still far better than fiat money for purchasing power. Thus they should be used as such but viewed with skepticism in being able to provide a stable store of value over extended periods of time due to the limitations I have discussed in this article. If you want to buy money to pass on to your children, you should definitely be buying physical gold and physical silver and not BTCs. BTCs are great for use as money in every positive capacity that I outlined in this article, but they undeniably have flaws that preclude their use as sound money that gold and silver do not have. Am I saying BTCs don't have any utility? Of course not. Just re-read the beginning of this article again where I discussed why BTCs are much better than all fiat currencies. But please understand what BTCs are, and what they are not. In the end, I support the continued existence of BTCs as a competitive form of currency, even if the world eventually defeats our current immoral fractional reserve banking system and returns to sound money 100% backed by gold. In the end, whatever form of money proves to contribute to price stability and serves as a store of value over time the best will be the one that comes out on top. For this very reason, competition, even when it applies to money, is beneficial to the people. Bitcoins versus gold (and silver) is much like the parable of the tortoise versus the hare. Gold has proven itself to be a steady reliable tortoise over thousands of years. Thus far BTCs have proven themselves to be the hare up to this point. In the end, if we let the people decide what is the best form of money in a competitive monetary environment, I am quite sure that gold and silver would come out of the battle as the victors. Stay tuned next week for Part II.

The free-market system has been the biggest creator of wealth and prosperity the world has ever known—lifting billions of people out of poverty and far more superior than any government program ever could be.
But socialism is on the rise in America—notably growing in popularity among the younger generations. In fact, according to a recent Harris poll, half of American Millennials and those belonging to Generation Z say they would prefer to live in a socialist country. Even more concerning, the growing general support around the ideology is fueling concrete policy proposals—including Medicare for All and the Green New Deal.
That's why the Job Creators Network, America's leading small business advocacy organization, is launching a campaign to tell the truth about socialism. Too many people don't understand that the American dream cannot exist in a socialist country. While some may say socialism is well intentioned, the fact is it robs people of their independence, their dignity and their finances. Socialism leads to government dependence, suppression of ideas, and lower standards of living for those under its thumb. Few Millennials and those who are younger understand what socialism really is, and why short-term gains like free education or free healthcare will lead to long-term consequences like loss of freedoms, and loss of opportunity.

Permits have been filed for a six-story mixed-use building at 589 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The site is located right next to the entrance for the Metropolitan Avenue subway station, serviced by the G and L trains. SL Development will be responsible for the development.
The 74-foot tall structure will yield 13,500 square feet, with 1,090 square feet dedicated to ground floor retail, and 8,800 square feet for residential use. 12 apartments will be created, averaging 730 square feet apiece, indicating rentals. Tenants will have access to a lobby, storage, laundry, and bicycle storage. A shared rooftop deck will be created for all residents, with a private terrace for the penthouse unit on the sixth floor.
Manhattan-based Rawlings Architects will be responsible for the design.

SALVATION, Pakistan stuck on the West of Nile?
Hyderabad: 3 December 2022: The nation has an opportunity to rejoice today. It's a thanksgiving day as the baton of command changes hands. It will take time before we truly feel that the dark clouds of despondency have vanished.
He is leaving the guardianship of Pakistan for ever. He left this country tormented, and bruised.
He was the key mastermind of the regime-change, and that too at the behest of his foreign allies, and their corrupt, local collaborators. For him, counter-corruption was of no value. He put on saddle the tried, and tested, dynastic rulers, soaring their acts of thievery, and corruption. In liaison with judiciary, he ensured that the civilian supremacy was junked, and respect for law, compromised. He interfered with the running of governments almost at every stage. He acted Bonapart sans the feat, sagacity, and character of Napoleon. His appeasement of India was self-defeating.
He may emigrate as most corrupt seek to bask in the safe heavens of the West, and Gulf. Their properties, bank accounts, and their future together with that of their children are presumed safe offshore.
He descended Pakistan into chaos, its economy in shambles, and the future at risk. He was one of those who was averse to generating wealth within the country for which a huge potential exists. He, like his thuggish political allies, chose to let Pakistan reel under aids, and grants of the West, and the Gulf at the cost of its sovereignty. Pakistan has never been a poor country. It has been mismanaged by the elite.
In this sunset, he may be rolling in staggering, unexplained billions of rupees, but will he ever sleep well post-retirement?
History will not forgive him. He will be painted in black. He is a criminal, as pointed out by a PPP veteran, Eitzaz Ahsan.
His legacy: has he left any?

This is how not to do first aid in the office.
Having people trained in the office to undertake first aid is an important health and safety feature.
Organisations can send people to health and safety training or like the organisation in the video below, can get health and safety professionals to provide on site demonstrations.
Now, whilst most demos will be educational and very professional, as the video below shows, this particular demonstration was more like a slapstick comedy film.
A volunteer was asked to pretend that he was injured but unfortunately when the health and safety "professional" came into the demonstration he accidentally knocked over a shelf which then fell onto the "pretend victim" who suddenly became the "real victim".
Luckily for all concerned nobody was seriously injured and if you want to see a fine slapstick comedy moment demonstration of health and safety then enjoy the video below.

An awkward mistake.
Have you ever sent an email to the wrong person by mistake? What about posting something on social media which, with hindsight you'd wished you hadn't?
We all make mistakes and it's not the end of the world but I've got a feeling that Magnús Örn Hákonarson will be remembering his recent mistake for a while to come.
Magnús is in charge of his employer's social media activities and recently what was supposed to be a private message was posted on his employer's Facebook page.
Magnus works for The Landsbjargar's Accident Investigation Company in Iceland and he accidentally posted an invite to a party to all the followers of the company. To add to the excitement, this wasn't a normal party but was an invite to all the followers to take part in a bondage party with a fetish dress code.
The invitation highlighted the dress code as fetish or alternative and included information about safe words, leather masks and whips. Members of the BDSM society Magnus was a member of were able to buy the tickets for 1,000 ISK (£7) whilst non-members had to pay 3,000 ISK (£21).
As soon as he realised his mistake he removed the party invitation from the company's Facebook page.
Whether or not his colleagues knew about his hobby is by the by. They certainly do now and the nice thing about it is that his employers realised it was a genuine mistake and have been very supportive.
Given his interest in BDSM he might have been slightly disappointed that he wasn't punished but instead his employers issued a statement saying "There are many people with different backgrounds and interests within the volunteer group. People are engaged in all kinds of sports and hobbies and the rescue team's board of directors will not distinguish these interests, as long as they are legal."
All in all, nothing to beat yourself up about.

OMG – will these hit the shelves?
Procter & Gamble, or P&G as it's commonly known, is one of the world's largest companies and has an incredible portfolio of products including Gillette, Head & Shoulders shampoo and Pampers nappies.
The business was set up in 1837 by two gentlemen called, yes you guessed it, Mr Procter and Mr Gamble.
Since then it has grown to become a huge organisation and is now quoted on the New York stock exchange. It has annual sales in excess of $15bn.
A recent trademark application in the US though could indicate that there may well be some new brand names joining their portfolio.
They have made applications for trademarks on household and personal care products for certain "text speak". Or to be more precise they have filed an application for terms including "LOL" (Laugh Out Loud) and "NBD" (No Big Deal).
The move seems to be an attempt to target the tech savvy millennial generation who have grown up with this tech speak.
It's not certain yet whether we will see cleaning products called LOL and NBD as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has sought clarifications from P&G and they have until January to respond.
One other interesting term which has been included in the application is "WTF".
Could we soon be seeing "WTF Cleaner" on supermarket shelves?
Explaining what "WTF" stands for is a bit rude to print here so if you don't know what it means then one of the quickest ways to find out is to say "WTF" when your boss next asks you to do something.

Grant Thornton fined £4million.
Grant Thornton, the mid-tier accounting firm has been fined £4m and reprimanded by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC).
So, what did they do wrong?
It was all to do with a lack of independence during audits of Nichols plc (the company that makes the soft drink Vimto) and the University of Salford.
The background to the issue involves Eric Healey. Mr Healey was a former senior partner of Grant Thornton who was engaged by them to provide services under a consultancy agreement. This in itself wasn't a problem but what was a problem was that he joined the audit committees of both Nichols plc and the University of Salford at the same time.
The FRC highlighted that this created serious familiarity and self-interest threats which resulted in the loss of independence during eight audits over a period of four years.
Putting it another way, Grant Thornton were paying a consultant who at the same time was in a senior position within the audit committee of two clients. There were clear independence issues.
The FRC said that "The standards were breached on a number of occasions over a long period and in a significant way; given the nature of the risks posed, the breaches required the resignation of Grant Thornton as auditors of both Nichols and the University but as set out in the particulars, they did not in fact so resign but signed off on all of the audits with unqualified opinions.
The firm obtained audit fees in respect of the audits totalling approximately £560,000 in circumstances where it has admitted it should not have undertaken the relevant audit engagements and that doing so constituted misconduct."
Grant Thornton's fine of £4m was discounted for settlement to £3m and Mr Healey was given a 5-year ban together with a fine of £200,000 which was discounted for settlement to £150,000 (discounted for settlement in effect means that they agreed with matters and paid the fine within a set time period of time).
Grant Thornton issued a statement which said "Grant Thornton has reached a settlement agreement with our regulators on this matter, which relates to audits dating up to eight years ago. Whilst the focus of the investigation was not on our technical competence in carrying out either of these audit assignments, the matter of ethical conduct and independence is equally of critical importance in ensuring the quality of our work and it is regrettable that we fell short of the standards expected of us on this occasion.
As we have since made significant investments in our people and processes and remain committed to continuous improvement in this regard, we are confident that such a situation should not arise in the future."
Full details of the case can be found here.

Airbnb CEO: More people value access over ownership now
Airbnb's CEO discusses what we can learn about the coming cultural change as we shop and re-sell at the same time.
By Rachel King for Between the Lines | November 10, 2011 -- 10:07 GMT (02:07 PST) | Topic: Start-Ups
SAN FRANCISCO -- We're moving from an ownership society to an access society, according to Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky.
"This is a wave that's going to happen. Think of all the large assets and time you have," said Chesky while speaking at the GigaOM Roadmap 2011 summit on Thursday morning. "There's someone in the world that wants that, or would love to have access to that."
Essentially, Chesky summed it up as now you are defined more by what you have access to rather than what you own.
Chesky is really on to something here, and this trend definitely goes beyond his company. Just look at the rise of digital movie and music subscription services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Rhapsody, and Spotify. You can pay a much lower monthly fee and have access to all of that content -- usually on an unlimited basis just as if you owned so long as you keep paying approximately $10 per month per service.
Beyond that, the argument can be expanded to clothing and accessories on sites like Rent The Runway and Bag, Borrow, Steal.
Airbnb, which is potentially valued at $1.3 billion, started out as a way for its co-founders to make rent. Since then, the concept has grown from people renting out beds in apartments, to renting boats, castles, and even tree houses.
"Collaborative consumption is something that we dont talk about a lot, but we do think there's an element of sustainability," Chesky affirmed, explaining that that you can either make things that are disposable, or make things that are not disposable and finding new meanings for those products.
"It seems like what we create now is a more efficient economy," Chesky added.
Naturally, Chesky was asked to comment about Airbnb's major kerfuffle this past summer in which an Airbnb host's apartment was vandalized in San Francisco.
Trying to keep a positive front, Chesky started off by labeling the experience as "a great learning experience." But he also acknowledged that it was, "in many ways, a wake-up call."
Reciting some of the new security measures put in place since then (including a $50,000 guarantee to anyone who rents spaces worldwide) as well as expanded integration with Facebook, Chesky posited that Airbnb is now less about staying with strangers, but more so with friends of your friends.
"We've primarily focused on being better, not bigger," Chesky said, arguing that while many people have advised him about the importance of attracting more hosts and renters, Airbnb is more focused on ensuring "a better experience."
Chesky also pointed out that customers in Europe tend to be more open and adventurous when it comes to Airbnb than their counterparts in the United States.
However, despite a global presence already, Chesky was the first to admit that his startup hasn't exactly gone mainstream as hoped by the end of 2011.
"We are mainstream within the tech community for sure, I would not say we're mainstream across the world," Chesky remarked.
As for future plans, Chesky explained that Airbnb will continue to expand upon products and services to make the business better. When asked about adding car sharing à la Zipcar or City CarShare, Chesky replied that there is no current commitment to do so, but he added that many Airbnb customers are willing to rent "basically any asset they have."

Climate change linked to decline in Asian monsoon
By: Wu Chong
By Wu Chong
Evidence that human-induced climate change may be affecting the Asian monsoon cycle has been published by a Chinese-US team.
Zhang Pingzhong, of Lanzhou University in China, analysed a 1,800-year-old stalagmite recovered from the Wanxiang Cave in West China's Gansu Province, which lies on the current path of the Asian summer monsoon.
The team measured levels of the elements uranium and thorium throughout the stalagmite and analysed its oxygen isotope ratios — different forms of oxygen whose levels are linked to rainfall and thus provide a record of the climate at the time.
Records show that, before 1960, warmer years were associated with stronger monsoons, and the temperature decreased when the monsoon weakened. But the study found a reversed association after this date.
"The rising temperature now leads to less precipitation, which is not a natural pattern," said Larry Edwards, geologist at the University of Minnesota and co-author of the paper, which was published in Science (November).
"So we came to an important conclusion that the monsoon had started to be affected by man-made causes."
Using the literature, the researchers linked the changes to human-induced greenhouse gases and aerosols.
Their finding corresponds with previous work by Ding Yihui, a leading Chinese climatologist, on changes in China's rainfall pattern in the late 1960s.
"The fact that recent Asian monsoon decline has taken place in the global warming period rather than in cold periods," was an important finding, Ding told SciDev.Net.
But he said that more investigations were needed into its causes.
Ding said he is soon to publish another study in Science predicting Asian monsoon activity over the next 100 years.
The team also discovered that weak summer monsoons were highly correlated with the demise of major Chinese dynasties in the past four centuries.
Using the results from the stalagmite analyses, the team was able to match the amount of rainfall to the dates that China's Tang, Yuan and Ming dynasties rose and fell.
For example, the researchers detected weak summer monsoon periods between 850 and 940 AD. This coincided with the last six decades of the Tang Dynasty. Decreased monsoon strength reduced the rainfall and led to a poorer harvest, which may have sparked unrest and led to the downfall of Tang.

We just returned from our stay at this condo. With Hurricane Michael hitting Myrtle Beach a week before our planned vacation we were VERY worried. However, no damage that we could see to this area. The condo is beautiful and very well decorated. We have rented from Tommy before and were very happy with our units. I only had one suggestion.... since there was four of us the balcony seating is only for 3. A table and 4 chairs would have been nice since we like to enjoy a cocktail and play cards on the balcony in the afternoon. But we were very happy with the condo and hope to return again. Thank you Tommy for a great vacation.
We had a wonderful Family Vacation at the Tidemaster. The unit was beautiful and had everything we needed. We have also always liked that this building is a smaller building, making it much quieter and the elevator wait shorter. This was an end unit and the views were absolutely beautiful. The owner, Tommy Sides, was very kind and easy to work with. The proximity to Main Street is something we have always enjoyed when staying at this Condo complex. It's a very easy walk and the shops, restaurants and Ice cream are great!!!!
Susan, thank you for staying with. We are pleased that you were happy with the condo and it location. This complex is in a great location and the condos are just the perfect size. We look forward to serving you and your family again.
My family and I first visit to North Myrtle Beach was awesome. This condo is great, everything they said it would be. The owner Tommy Sides is great to work with, he made the renting process of this condo easy. It was relaxing sitting on the balcony looking over the ocean. The condo has everything you need to dine with and plenty of room. The only thing I recommend is for Tommy to get a new guest book for everybody to sign because I used the last page lol. Thank you Tommy for a great condo, can't wait to come back!!!!!
My family and I have been visiting North Myrtle for several years now. Finding a place to stay is one of the biggest challenges I have to overcome. This condo was excellent! It wasn't just the Condo, Tommy was great to work with. I will stay at any property that he owns. The kitchen was beautiful, and there was enough room for everyone. Thank you for all of your help and a wonderful place to stay. We will be back!!
Great place to stay. Clean, spacious, kitchen stocked well if you want to cook in. Just a short walk to all the dance clubs in North Myrtle Beach. Can't say enough good things about this place. Hope to stay here several times each year.

You've been in business for a while and seem to have found your groove. Customers are responding favorably to the lines and services you're offering, and revenues have been good. Now that things have started to stabilize and become consistent, you might find yourself feeling stagnant and looking around for the next big challenge. The key to working through this hurdle is to find ways to shake things up without derailing the train.
1. Give your employees time to be creative.
Allow your employees time each week to explore the Web and to work on side projects that, potentially, could have a positive impact on their careers. Whether they are interested in learning more about the nuts and bolts of your business, or perhaps working as a DJ or a performing musician, encourage them to keep on the lookout for any ideas that might have a positive impact on your store.
Any staffer, ranging from a customer service representative to a key salesperson, might stumble upon a business blind spot. When this happens, make sure he or she feels your gratitude. That person will love going to work even more when he or she feels like a valued part of the company.
Most stores only do this when they see a sales slump. It's a good idea to enact a survey policy and perform them on a regular basis. Customers feel appreciated when you ask for feedback, and you'll likely get some valuable ideas that will help you enhance many aspects of your business.
3. Do more to get your name out there.
If you have a retail store, think about PR strategies that will help get your name out in the community. For instance, what about sponsoring a local community marching band, or becoming the official provider of their accessories, sheet music or other relevant products?
If schools or installations are your focus, then find ways to create relationships where you can offer member discounts, or provide access to relevant opportunities like free clinics or training.
4. Offer value but conserve time.
Think about ways you can offer more value that won't cost you more time. To seed your lesson program, how about creating a series of self-study video courses for beginners? Work with a few of your teachers to record beginner instructional videos and promote them through your social-media pages, YouTube channel and the new relationships that you're creating. This one-time investment will generate new students and lesson revenue repeatedly, with very little ongoing maintenance.
Renowned for his album covers, posters and writings, designer Stefan Sagmeister famously closes his design firm once every seven years. His entire staff takes off a full year. He understands that sabbaticals provide a way to recharge so that entrepreneurs can develop their next big idea.
It's probably unrealistic to take a full year off, but a company-wide sabbatical could be held for a week. For this to be a successful experiment, however, be sure to give employees guidelines for approaching this break as unstructured creative time that will contribute to the company's well-being.
6. Connect with people in different industries.
If you run a music store, partner with an auto sound retailer. If you're the founder of a music school, have a set of life coaches talk with your teachers. The point of this is to allow yourself to be curious about a different set of people than the ones with whom you normally interact. You don't necessarily have to do something with this partnership. However, bringing together two groups of people from different industries to talk about what they do is bound to spark some inspiration.
7. Keep up with your competitors on a regular basis.
Stagnation can affect a variety of areas within your business. It's equally important to look past your four walls and remember to keep an eye on the competition to see what they're up to. There is nothing more disturbing than to find out that you've been completely out of the loop when a competitor makes a big splash in your community.
If you find yourself behind the eight ball, take the time to assess what they've done and how it might affect your business. Did they add similar products or services? What's now making them more appealing to customers? What do you have to do to level the playing field? Nothing stops stagnation better than seeing the competition pass you by.
8. Use technology to your advantage.
With the abundance of Wi-Fi connections available, it's not difficult to stay connected wherever you are. Although you might need to cover the sales floor, there will be times where it will be in your best interest to get away (see #5). Being in a different environment will ignite new ideas, refresh your attitude and, possibly, prompt you to interact with different people.
Use technology to help you stay connected and to keep abreast of trends and competitors. Things change too quickly for you just to sit there and relax. In order to succeed, you need to be constantly on your toes and remain fully aware. Use Google Alerts and Analytics to analyze which products and Web pages are doing well. This will help you tweak your business with proven information. And, best of all, it's free.
The main advantage to incorporating new technology into your workflow is that it'll save you time. Now, you can use those extra hours thinking about new ways to expand your business and serve your customers.
When you create a company culture that embraces thinking differently, this belief permeates every position within the business. Most of the ideas don't cost a thing, and they could be easily implemented with some advance planning. When you take the time to pay attention to how you and your company innovate, it helps ameliorate the forces of stagnation.

Adalberto "Bitto" Albertini (1924–1999) was an Italian film director and screenwriter.

Career

He began his film career as a camera operator and as a cinematographer. In 1974 Albertini directed Black Emanuelle starring the then almost unknown Laura Gemser. Her subsequent successful career meant that she was absent from Black Emanuelle 2, and Albertini instead cast actress Shulamith Lasri in the title role.

In 1977 he released Yellow Emanuelle as a comeback. The film, starring Chai Lee, was very successful. However the film never reached the popularity of Joe D'Amato's series. His last two films were "Mondos" set in Asia, depicting shocking rituals and savage violence.

He died in Italy in 1999 at age 74.
