GDPR Policy – General Data Protection Regulation & Cookie Policy
This Policy sets out the obligations of Berkeley & Woods Ltd, a company registered in England under number 08164473, whose registered office is at 3/207 Regent Street, London W1B 3HH ("the Company") regarding data protection and the rights of customers ("data subjects") in respect of their personal data under EU Regulation 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").
The GDPR defines "personal data" as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (a "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
This Policy sets the Company's obligations regarding the collection, processing, transfer, storage, and disposal of personal data. The procedures and principles set out herein must be followed at all times by the Company, its employees, agents, contractors, or other parties working on behalf of the Company.
The Company is committed not only to the letter of the law, but also to the spirit of the law and places high importance on the correct, lawful, and fair handling of all personal data, respecting the legal rights, privacy, and trust of all individuals with whom it deals.
The Data Protection Principles
This Policy aims to ensure compliance with the GDPR. The GDPR sets out the following principles with which any party handling personal data must comply. All personal data must be:
Processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject.
Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. Further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes.
Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.
Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which it is processed, is erased, or rectified without delay.
Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed. Personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject.
Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.
The Rights of Data Subjects
The GDPR sets out the following rights applicable to data subjects (please refer to the parts of this policy indicated for further details):
The right to be informed (Part 12).
The right of access (Part 13);
The right to rectification (Part 14);
The right to erasure (also known as the 'right to be forgotten') (Part 15);
The right to restrict processing (Part 16);
The right to data portability (Part 17);
The right to object (Part 18); and
Rights with respect to automated decision-making and profiling (Parts 19 and 20).
Lawful, Fair, and Transparent Data Processing
The GDPR seeks to ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, without adversely affecting the rights of the data subject. The GDPR states that processing of personal data shall be lawful if at least one of the following applies:
The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract with them;
The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject;
The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
The processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller; or
The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.
If the personal data in question is "special category data" (also known as "sensitive personal data") (for example, data concerning the data subject's race, ethnicity, politics, religion, trade union membership, genetics, biometrics (if used for ID purposes), health, sex life, or sexual orientation), at least one of the following conditions must be met:
The data subject has given their explicit consent to the processing of such data for one or more specified purposes (unless EU or EU Member State law prohibits them from doing so);
The processing is necessary for the purpose of carrying out the obligations and exercising specific rights of the data controller or of the data subject in the field of employment, social security, and social protection law (insofar as it is authorised by EU or EU Member State law or a collective agreement pursuant to EU Member State law which provides for appropriate safeguards for the fundamental rights and interests of the data subject);
The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person where the data subject is physically or legally incapable of giving consent;
The data controller is a foundation, association, or other non-profit body with a political, philosophical, religious, or trade union aim, and the processing is carried out in the course of its legitimate activities, provided that the processing relates solely to the members or former members of that body or to persons who have regular contact with it in connection with its purposes and that the personal data is not disclosed outside the body without the consent of the data subjects;
The processing relates to personal data which is clearly made public by the data subject;
The processing is necessary for the conduct of legal claims or whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity;
The processing is necessary for substantial public interest reasons, on the basis of EU or EU Member State law which shall be proportionate to the aim pursued, shall respect the essence of the right to data protection, and shall provide for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the fundamental rights and interests of the data subject;
The processing is necessary for the purposes of preventative or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of an employee, for medical diagnosis, for the provision of health or social care or treatment, or the management of health or social care systems or services on the basis of EU or EU Member State law or pursuant to a contract with a health professional, subject to the conditions and safeguards referred to in Article 9(3) of the GDPR;
The processing is necessary for public interest reasons in the area of public health, for example, protecting against serious cross-border threats to health or ensuring high standards of quality and safety of health care and of medicinal products or medical devices, on the basis of EU or EU Member State law which provides for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject (in particular, professional secrecy); or
The processing is necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR based on EU or EU Member State law which shall be proportionate to the aim pursued, respect the essence of the right to data protection, and provide for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the fundamental rights and the interests of the data subject.

Details of any automated decision-making or profiling that will take place using the personal data, including information on how decisions will be made, the significance of those decisions, and any consequences.
Data Subject Access
Data subjects may make subject access requests ("SARs") at any time to find out more about the personal data which the Company holds about them, what it is doing with that personal data, and why.
Data subjects wishing to make a SAR may do so in writing, using the Company's Subject Access Request Form, or other written communication. SARs should be addressed to the Company's Data Protection Officer at 3/207 Regent Street, London W1B 3HH.
Responses to SARs shall normally be made within one month of receipt, however this may be extended by up to two months if the SAR is complex and/or numerous requests are made. If such additional time is required, the data subject shall be informed.
All SARs received shall be handled by the Company's Data Protection Officer.
The Company does not charge a fee for the handling of normal SARs. The Company reserves the right to charge reasonable fees for additional copies of information that has already been supplied to a data subject, and for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly where such requests are repetitive.
Rectification of Personal Data
Data subjects have the right to require the Company to rectify any of their personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
The Company shall rectify the personal data in question, and inform the data subject of that rectification, within one month of the data subject informing the Company of the issue. The period can be extended by up to two months in the case of complex requests. If such additional time is required, the data subject shall be informed.
In the event that any affected personal data has been disclosed to third parties, those parties shall be informed of any rectification that must be made to that personal data.
Erasure of Personal Data
Data subjects have the right to request that the Company erases the personal data it holds about them in the following circumstances:
It is no longer necessary for the Company to hold that personal data with respect to the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or processed;
The data subject wishes to withdraw their consent to the Company holding and processing their personal data;
The data subject objects to the Company holding and processing their personal data (and there is no overriding legitimate interest to allow the Company to continue doing so) (see Part 18 of this Policy for further details concerning the right to object);
The personal data has been processed unlawfully;
The personal data needs to be erased in order for the Company to comply with a particular legal obligation
Unless the Company has reasonable grounds to refuse to erase personal data, all requests for erasure shall be complied with, and the data subject informed of the erasure, within one month of receipt of the data subject's request. The period can be extended by up to two months in the case of complex requests. If such additional time is required, the data subject shall be informed.
In the event that any personal data that is to be erased in response to a data subject's request has been disclosed to third parties, those parties shall be informed of the erasure (unless it is impossible or would require disproportionate effort to do so).
Restriction of Personal Data Processing
Data subjects may request that the Company ceases processing the personal data it holds about them. If a data subject makes such a request, the Company shall retain only the amount of personal data concerning that data subject (if any) that is necessary to ensure that the personal data in question is not processed further.
In the event that any affected personal data has been disclosed to third parties, those parties shall be informed of the applicable restrictions on processing it (unless it is impossible or would require disproportionate effort to do so).
The Company may process personal data using automated means.
Where data subjects have given their consent to the Company to process their personal data in such a manner, or the processing is otherwise required for the performance of a contract between the Company and the data subject, data subjects have the right, under the GDPR, to receive a copy of their personal data and to use it for other purposes (namely transmitting it to other data controllers).
To facilitate the right of data portability, the Company shall make available all applicable personal data to data subjects.
Where technically feasible, if requested by a data subject, personal data shall be sent directly to the required data controller.
All requests for copies of personal data shall be complied with within one month of the data subject's request. The period can be extended by up to two months in the case of complex or numerous requests. If such additional time is required, the data subject shall be informed.
Objections to Personal Data Processing
Data subjects have the right to object to the Company processing their personal data based on legitimate interests, direct marketing (including profiling), and processing for statistics purposes
Where a data subject objects to the Company processing their personal data based on its legitimate interests, the Company shall cease such processing immediately, unless it can be demonstrated that the Company's legitimate grounds for such processing override the data subject's interests, rights, and freedoms, or that the processing is necessary for the conduct of legal claims.
Where a data subject objects to the Company processing their personal data for direct marketing purposes, the Company shall cease such processing immediately.
Where a data subject objects to the Company processing their personal data for statistics purposes, the data subject must, under the GDPR, "demonstrate grounds relating to his or her particular situation". The Company is not required to comply if the research is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
The Company may use personal data in automated decision-making processes.
Where such decisions have a legal (or similarly significant effect) on data subjects, those data subjects have the right to challenge to such decisions under the GDPR, requesting human intervention, expressing their own point of view, and obtaining an explanation of the decision from the Company.
The right described in Part 19.2 does not apply in the following circumstances:
The decision is necessary for the entry into, or performance of, a contract between the Company and the data subject;
The decision is authorised by law; or
The data subject has given their explicit consent.
The Company uses personal data for profiling purposes so we can contact you with information relevant to you.
When personal data is used for profiling purposes, the following shall apply:
Clear information explaining the profiling shall be provided to data subjects, including the significance and likely consequences of the profiling;
Appropriate mathematical or statistical procedures shall be used;
Technical and organisational measures shall be implemented to minimise the risk of errors. If errors occur, such measures must enable them to be easily corrected; and

Dhanya Mani on speaking out: "It felt like a moral imperative"
The Former Liberal staffer on why she spoke up about the indecent assault she experienced at work. ANEETA MENON and RHEA L NATH report.

Trigger warning – sexual harassment
The disparity between women and men in every workplace across Australia is well understood, but less understood is the disparity between men and women of colour, and of white women and women of colour. This week, former NSW State Liberal staffer Dhanya Mani spoke up about the indecent assault she experienced in her job in the #auspol arena. Having approached relevant superiors at the time of her experience, Mani was met with the type of threats we are now hearing echoed across other similar tales.
She told ABC's 7:30, "I was also told simply that it just wasn't true, and I was making it up. And the best case response that I got was to say, 'Well I guess we believe you but if you say anything, your political career will be over and this will be it for you.'"
She further escalated this to the office of the Prime Minister and like much else being reported on the subject, her matter fell on deaf ears. For women of colour, getting a foot in the door in these sectors is already challenging. That they are being driven out due to lack of workplace safety, and in particular sexual impropriety and violence, is a matter that must be resolved in order to seek a truly reflective parliament.
Dhanya is one of a handful of women who have opened up about their sexual assault since Brittany Higgins, a former political staffer, shared her recount of her assault allegedly perpetrated by a senior staffer at her workplace. Each has the same devastating revelation: Parliament House is not a safe place for women to work.
To be a woman of colour in politics seems to be harder still. The glass ceiling does indeed have a bamboo finish here.
"Everything is 10 times harder than it is for other people," Dhanya told Indian Link. "Frankly, I think there isn't really that same sort of empathy and immediate sense of community that exists between people who share the same narrative. A lot of people in politics have gone to the same private schools. They know each other. They have networks that exist within their own communities. It's just easier to empathise with somebody who looks like you and who has a similar cultural narrative to yours. There's an expectation as someone who is a migrant that you need to learn everything about the culture of the majority, never the expectation that people learn about you."
READ ALSO: Time's up for complacency
For decades now, the #auspol environment has been referred to as a 'boys club', with rarely a good news story emerging about the treatment within "the Canberra bubble". Thrust into focus through a Four Corners expose and now with the allegations from multiple staffers, the statistics that Australian parliament, particularly at the federal level, remains overwhelmingly male and extraordinarily white, are under fresh scrutiny. This is in stark contrast to the actual Australian population, which is increasingly diverse.
And being a woman in politics is no easy task. In 2013, we lived through a period of random men throwing sandwiches at then Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Sandwiches. Seemingly for no reason at all.
Obviously, it wasn't an easy environment for Dhanya, as a woman of colour, to start talking about her assault. What was the most surprising thing that came out, in her experience, when she spoke up?
"I think one thing that was maybe not surprising, but interesting, were the concerns my parents had. They worried that the community and beyond would judge me, or that this decision to tell my story would be the most important thing about me. The point was, well, these are real issues that women face. And I keep seeing them happen over and over again. It was definitely hard because it's like, what was she doing with this boy? Well, actually, he came to my house without being invited. But that's also not the point. I wanted to be able to get over the fake moral outrage of women being around men and realise that there are just more important things to worry about."
The 27-year-old public servant also emphasises how cultural perspectives bleed into people's understanding, and sympathy, with these kinds of incidents.
"With the mentality (in the community), it doesn't feel possible for young people to just approach their parents and say, 'this thing happened, can you help me?' It feels like you'd end up in a position where you have to console your parents about the fact that something happened in the first place. Parents need to sort of broaden their perspective and confront themselves with the realities of what people do."

Mani, along with fellow staffer Chelsey Potter, has responded to the culture of toxicity and victim blaming through an initiative called Changing Our Headline, aimed at creating safer spaces for women in the workplace, particularly in male-dominated fields, like politics.
Speaking about the initiative, Dhanya observed, "I want to be part of changing social problems in society… Somebody from the community needs to put their hand up. I could wait for other people or start to change something myself."
Part of her motivation comes from her value systems as a Hindu, and an immigrant, in Australia.
"From a very young age, I was asking myself questions about what is really important to me, and what do I stand for. I think a lot of people in our community would probably empathise with the fact that you have a need to make those value judgements at a very young age. All the stories that I read growing up, like the Mahabharata, they are things I've strongly internalised. So, it didn't necessarily feel like a choice. It felt as though it was needed, like a moral imperative."
And, just like that, it once again falls to the victim-survivors of sexual violence, just as it does in almost every sphere in which violence against women occurs, to do the labour to resolve their own problems after having been systemically failed at every level. Perhaps through the voices of women like Dhanya and Chelsey, we can see a tangible shift. Change doesn't come from speaking up alone. It takes place once everyone else listens up and does their part to make the world a safer, more equitable place. Perhaps once and for all, we can change not just the headlines, but the world – and the Parliament – which they reflect.

Like the hotel itself, it looks rather run down inside, but the beer garden at the front offers spectacular views of the junction of the Firth of Clyde and the Gareloch and across the water to Greenock.

Opioid overdose: Police to carry Naloxone spray as emergency antidote
Naloxone will be able to provide crucial time for the emergency responders to arrive and take over the emergency medical treatment.
By Nina Siena
November 17, 2020 13:10 GMT
Police officers in Scotland will now carry an emergency antidote to treat drug overdose victims. The antidote is a nasal spray of Naloxone which is known to counter the effects of overdose from opioids like heroin. The initiative is part of a pilot project which the Scottish Police Federation has criticised as being merely a public relations and "sticky plaster" solution to the problem.
Supporters of the initiative on the other hand say the move is being introduced in response to the rising numbers of drug-related deaths in Scotland. Their argument lies heavy on the fact that Naloxone will be able to provide crucial time for the emergency responders to arrive and take over the emergency medical treatment.
In an article on the BBC, it said that families of heroin users at risk of fatal overdoses are being pushed to be trained in using Naloxone by ambulance crews in Glasgow. At the same time, paramedics in Scotland have also used more than 5,000 doses of Naloxone in 2019.
Figures taken from the National Records of Scotland indicate opiates/opioids were implicated as a potential contributory factor in 86% of drug related deaths in 2018.
The move will run for a trial period of six months and will cover east Glasgow, Dundee and Falkirk.
According to Assistant Chief Constable Gary Ritchie, head of drug strategy for Police Scotland:
"It is hoped the testbed areas will show the value of our officers carrying this treatment as an extension to the existing extensive first aid training already provided by the organisation."
He also added that a "full evidence-based evaluation" of the project would help decide if it should be rolled out across Scotland.
Meanwhile, the Scottish Police Federation (SPF) said it was completely opposed to its members being asked to administer the drug. The SPF expressed fears that the role of the police officer was being stretched too far, and also raised concerns about their safety during the Covid pandemic.
Under the trial run, carrying Naloxone will be voluntary but all frontline police officers with the rank of constable, sergeant and inspector within the pilot areas will be required to go through training. From there, officers will be asked to decide if they wish to carry Naloxone and participate in the pilot project. Those who agree will be provided with personal issue supplies of Naloxone. About 700 officers will undergo training which is expected to commence in early 2021.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater: The Annual "Homecoming"
In his inaugural season as Artistic Director, Robert Battle and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater return to Chicago for the annual engagement at the Auditorium Theatre.
"This is the beginning of a new adventure - for the company, for me and for our audiences," Battle said recently.
Like past years, this year's engagement includes a grouping of new, eclectic, and contemporary pieces as well as the show-stopping, American classic, "Revelations." Hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harris uses a score of gospel house music for "Home," a work inspired by people living with or affected by aids. Like many of the dance theater's past works, "Home," ties together social issues and histories facing communities of color with stylistic choreography that is refreshing and new.
Additional works include Battle's solo work "Takademe;" "Arden Court," the first Paul Taylor work performed by the company; and the improvised "Minus 16," from choreographer Ohad Naharin.
Taylor's "Arden Court," includes duets, solos, and a men's sextet set to the baroque score of William Boyce. Featuring a score that includes everything from Deam Martin to techno-pop, Naharin's "Minus 16" incorporates Naharin's "Gaga" method that aims to break down previous habits in order to broaden the possibilities of the dancers as interpreters during their performances. The performance is also dedicated to the memory of Naharin's wife, a dancer with the company and assistant for Ailey. The consistent skills of the company promise a show that will please and engage.
April 11, 7:30pm - "Arden Court," "Minus 16" and "Revelations"
April 12, 7:30pm - "Memoria," "Home," "Takademe," and "Revelations"
April 13, 7:30pm - "Arden Court," "Minus 16" and "Revelations"

Absolute Machine Tools Now Employee Owned
Among other things, the move of ownership to an ESOP is expected to relieve the company's federal tax burden, improve customer service and retain workers.
Edited by Jedd Cole

Becoming a Second Source for Ventilator Parts
Absolute Machine Tools has been sold to an Employee Stock Ownership Trust (ESOP). Owners Steve and Courtney Ortner sold 100 percent of their ownership interest to the newly created ESOP, allowing current and future employees to gain a beneficial ownership interest in the company without any personal monetary investment.
"All of Absolute's employees are valued," says Mr. Ortner. "Courtney and I could not have done it without their hard work and dedication, and as part of my legacy, I wanted to ensure their personal success." Mr. Ortner will continue to be the company's president and CEO, managing sales and the company's day-to-day operations.
The formation of Absolute's ESOP is intended to ensure good customer service through increased productivity and sense of ownership, to eliminate income tax obligations to federal and state governments, thereby allowing for reinvestment of cash back into the company, and to retain and attract workers.
As part of the new structure, the Ortners formed several new departmental strategic planning committees and a board of directors. These two internal entities will help to influence future financial and growth decisions for the company.

Look at how great I am.
Horrifying in its simplicity, this nightmare spoke to me, chillingly. I could not stop thinking about it. And regardless of whether I can make it relate to my topic here today, I felt I needed to include it in this post and asked for permission to reprint the experience. If an underlying meaning doesn't immediately jump out, then I am not sure I can make you see it. This naturally leads to the blatant, bold question, "Is there still room for God in the Mormon Church?" While you may want to dismiss the question as absurd, the answer is probably more complicated than you want to admit.
I expect more from Woolley and her Harvard credentials, which she makes sure to include within the first 10 words of her Op-ed. First, I will begin with the nitpicky. She makes the antecedent for the relative pronoun "which" in the first sentence perfectly clear, probably because she wants to make sure that we with degrees from inferior institutions of higher learning understand exactly what they teach at that there Harvard Divinity School. However, she becomes more careless with her writing as the piece progresses. The second time she uses the same relative pronoun, she uses it incorrectly, but it is difficult to figure that out right away, making the sentence confusing. When she says, "I am uncomfortable with their methods for seeking change in the church, which work well for other causes like civil rights campaigns in the public square but are, in my view, inappropriate for advancing personal views in the LDS Church." Here, the syntax makes "church" the antecedent of "which." This forces the reader to wonder whether she or he has encountered a typo: shouldn't "work" read "works"? Once you figure out that Woolley means the antecedent to be "methods," any argument she wants to present has already lost momentum.
"Beyond the threat to Mormon dignity is the harm done by Ordain Women to the very cause it claims to support — women's well-being in the church. The church seems to have begun a deliberate process of addressing gender issues long before Ordain Women appeared, with changes to certain policies regarding missionary service and women's visibility, but now this group puts the church between a rock and a hard place.
Woolley has placed the Church in the very position she argues OW has, between a rock and a hard place. Sure, to the outside world, the Church appears to give into pressure whenever it makes steps toward equality. But that is not their audience here. The LDS Church should not be in the business of pride, ever. Have we forgotten the most prominent lesson The Book of Mormon teaches us? Pride comes before the fall. And whose pride is it? Who is it that falls? If you think the words of The Book of Mormon are directed at anyone other than Mormons, you need to stop focusing on the introduction to the text and pay closer attention to the actual text. If you have ever read through The Book of Mormon, you know that the "pride cycle" always involved the "righteous" or, more accurately, "the people of God." Most often, those righteous men and women would head down a dark path and turn from the Lord in a relatively short time frame. We immediately think of their depravity. We think of their vile sins. Of course they fell away. Bur "others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell" (2 Nephi 28:21).
We live in a world where, despite what many parties of religionists think, things are not strictly black and white. In fact, that is exactly what Jesus tried to teach the Pharisees and Sadducees, who were, to some degree, greater sinners of his day than even the woman taken in adultery. But the times have changed. Their pride does not exist among the Lord's people today, right? I suppose that all depends on where you pitch your tent. In some follow-up posts I will answer this question in an effort to discuss what the culture of the LDS Church has turned into in a relatively short time.
I think I know where this is going, but I will be interested to see. I have seen in my own extended family huge changes in faith and focus in the last 20 years. As I was reading Alma yesterday, it hit me how much of the chapter could be "likened unto us," and not in a good way.
I look forward to see where you take this line of thinking.
Another example of leading with credentials. http://www.sltrib.com/opinion/1764577-155/essay-church-joseph-polygamy-women-consider.
Great, AT, you really showed . . . me? Hmmm . . . I don't get it, but thanks for reading.
Don't you think that your construction of my completely benign comment is bizarre?
How can the comment "Another example of leading with credentials" with a reference to a link to another example of leading with credentials possibly be construed as a rebuttal?


"Harry Styles at the BBC" may be designed for hysterical One Direction fans, but grownups will warm to this multifaceted entertainer with his visit to a Manchester nursing home and a rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain." Quite a charmer, this one.
Minnesota native Genevieve Gorder finally makes her appearance on the reboot of "Trading Spaces," just in time to help a son and his parents screw up each other's master bedrooms. Even without Gorder around, the series was doing well, giving TLC its best Saturday-night numbers in eight years.
If your head has finally stopped reeling from all the twists, turns and time jumps in Season 1 of "Westworld," you might just be ready for new episodes. They're far less confusing but equally as grim, with "the hosts" running amok on an even bloodier, more violent battlefield. Oh, Shogun World is open for business. Enter at your own peril.

Roche's cancer immunotherapy Tecentriq has produced strong results which could give it the lead in a key lung cancer indication.
The drug reduced the risk of disease worsening or death when combined with chemotherapy in people with an untreated form of advanced squamous lung cancer.
The Swiss pharma company said the Impower 131 study met its co-primary endpoint of progression free survival, and is waiting to see whether the other goal of overall survival (OS) has been met.
The 1,021 patient trial is comparing a combination of Tecentriq (atezolizumab) plus chemotherapy of carboplatin and Celgene's Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel), with chemotherapy alone in first-line treatment of people with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Findings are based on an interim analysis showing a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival, although a statistically significant overall survival benefit was not observed and the study will continue as planned.
Nevertheless, the trial results are a boost for Tecentriq, which is chasing Merck & Co's Keytruda, which is establishing a lead in lung cancer indications. Meanwhile Bristol-Myers Squibb's Opdivo (nivolumab) is also still in contention, while AZ is also carving out its own niche in NSCLC, the biggest prize in immunotherapy.
Arm B, of the trial, involving Tecentriq plus carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel) must demonstrate a statistically significant overall survival result versus arm C (carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel), before an analysis between Arm A (Tecentriq plus carboplatin and paclitaxel) and Arm C can be made for PFS and OS.
Roche has eight phase 3 lung cancer studies underway testing Tecentriq alone or in combination with other medicines and five are expected to report this year.
First approved by the FDA in 2016 in bladder, sales of Tecentriq are mounting, generating around $511m in 2017, and since then it has been approved lung cancer and another bladder cancer use.
But like other immunotherapies there has been a shock failure, when a late-stage trial confirming its use in advanced metastatic urothelial cancer following failure of platinum-based chemotherapy missed its overall survival endpoint.

3 reasons why foreign talents will leave China in droves after 20th National Congress
The zero-COVID policy has been in place for almost three years, and it will likely stay that way, Oct 19, 2022. (Spotlight on China/Screenshot via TheBL/YouTube)
Some believe that after the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, many international talents will quickly leave China.
Chinese economist Davy Jun Huang analyzes three main reasons for this trend.
First: Worsening U.S.-China relations
According to Chinese economist Davy Jun Huang, U.S.-China trade relations have been tense in recent years. That's why the White House has imposed sanctions one after another on mainland China's technology sector this year, focusing on the chip industry.
With the latest round of limits in September and October, Chinese imports of chip-related products have come under enormous pressure. This has caused foreign talents in this field to leave China.
Many engineers have withdrawn from Chinese fabs such as Huawei, YMTC, Shanghai Integrated Circuit, Hangzhou Jihai Semiconductor.
According to the Wall Street Journal, at least 43 American executives holding top jobs at 16 Chinese chip companies, such as CEOs or vice presidents, are in deep limbo.
The latest U.S. policy targets returnees, Chinese Americans working in China, and high-tech workers. The policy only allows them to "pick one." If they want to keep their U.S. citizenship, they must return to the United States and stop working in mainland China. Otherwise, they would lose their citizenship. The new rules would force these talented people to leave China.
The second reason for talent departure is the worsening of relations between China-E.U.
In the last few years, the human rights issue has stalled the relationship between China and Europe. After the Russian-Ukrainian war, the relationship between Beijing and Moscow has been the center of attention. Due to Beijing's strong support for Putin, E.U. talent is hesitant to work in China, so they decided to leave to avoid the risks of sanctions.
Third: The zero-COVID policy is the next reason for talent flight.
According to the economist Jun Huang, the zero-COVID policy has been in place for almost three years, and it will likely stay that way. Due to this draconian policy, life quality, personal safety, employment, adaptability, cost of living, the rule of law, and social and business contacts have all changed.
In Hong Kong and Shanghai, where a lot of international talent has gathered, the question of whether or not to leave has become very heated.


One summer in Paris, a young doctoral student of anthropology is hired by Samuel Beckett to help him sort out his archives. This improbable meeting inspires him to keep a diary of the experience. The outlandish, mercurial Beckett he discovers—a hot-chocolate-loving beekeeper with an extravagant wardrobe—is far from the austere character he imagined.
Together they set about spiking the boxes of archives with an array of improbable objects and documents to confound and disorientate future researchers. Meanwhile, Beckett finds himself advising from afar the idealistic director of a Swedish prison production of Waiting for Godot.
This quirky novel is a reflection upon the image of the writer and their literary heritage. Martin Page skillfully employs the playful and absurd to critique the veneration afforded to "great" artists and how it can come to obscure the key thrust of their work.
Martin Page was born in 1975 and grew up in the Paris suburbs. His first novel, How I Became Stupid, was a massive critical and commercial success. He has written half a dozen other novels, eight books for children/YA, as well as essays and short-stories.
His books have been translated into over twenty languages. His novel La Disparition de Paris et sa renaissance en Afrique won the 2010 Prix Ouest-France Etonnants Voyageurs.


On January 13, 2017, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ," collectively the "U.S. Agencies") issued an update to the 1995 Antitrust Enforcement Guidelines for International Operations (the "2017 Guidelines and the "1995 Guidelines," respectively). The 1995 Guidelines set out for international businesses the U.S. Agencies' international antitrust/competition law enforcement policy, including but not limited to how it cooperates with other antitrust/competition law authorities and how it utilizes its investigative tools.
There are three key revisions that are reflected in the 2017 Guidelines. First, there is a new section on international cooperation, which reflects how much the cross-border cooperation (on civil and criminal antitrust matters) has expanded amongst antitrust/competition enforcement agencies since the 1995 Guidelines. Second, the 2017 Guidelines reflect current U.S. antitrust especially with respect to the areas of foreign commerce, foreign trade, foreign sovereign immunity, foreign sovereign compulsion, the act of state doctrine and petitioning of sovereigns. Third, the 2017 Guidelines provide updated and relevant exemplars to help companies, and lawyers, understand the Guidelines' applications.

In an open letter to members of the National Business Aviation Association last week, NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen urged members to "take action now" in getting the message out about the dangers user fees pose to business aviation.
Editor's Note: You can use the NBAA site to send an email to your congressman. Please take some time and do it today. Just click "Read More" below.
Bolen (shown below) says NBAA is fighting the "toxic mix" of tax increases, user fees and airline power… but ultimate success depends on members telling their representatives in government how they feel.
"Your elected officials need to hear from you about the airlines' FAA proposal, because you can be sure that every Member of Congress is hearing from the big airlines and their army of lobbyists," Bolen writes, adding members can go to a dedicated website (available at the FMI link below) for more information on how to do so.
