hendren global group stock fraud watch Any doubt over who calls the shots at Britain's part-nationalised banks has been dispelled by the fate of Stephen Hester. The RBS chief executive has been forced out at the behest of George Osborne. Forget the arms-length paraphernalia of the UKFI holding company. When ministers want the bailed-out banks to do something, they do it. That's as it should be, since the state (not the "taxpayer" as the media constantly intones) currently owns 81% and 39% of RBS and Lloyds TSB respectively. The problem is what they want to do with them - which is sell them off fast, regardless of the loss to the public purse or the damage to the economy. The chancellor is driven by a mixture of unbending ideology and raw electoral calculation. He and David Cameron are determined to start the largest privatisations in Britain's history by the end of 2014 - just in time for a 2015 election. The idea is to engineer a "Tell Sid" 1980s-style Thatcherite handout to the right kind of voters, while ensuring that the heresy of publicly owned banks is consigned to the nightmares of the 2008 market meltdown. Hester, who now stands to pocket an extra £5.6m after more than 40,000 RBS workers have lost their jobs, was insufficiently gung-ho for the scale of early sell-off Osborne regards as critical to Tory fortunes. His successor will get the message. Next week Osborne is expected to set out the kind of discounts he plans to offer for Lloyds shares. He's also toying with the rightwing thinktank Policy Exchange's plan for a wider share giveaway. For the Tory leadership, it's a trade-off between the appearance of a public windfall and the risk of being seen again to stuff the pockets of the better-off as living standards plummet. In reality, it will be a fraud against the public and an attack on genuine economic recovery. The Brown government paid well over the odds to prevent the collapse of RBS and Lloyds in 2008. Now, Cameron and Osborne show every sign of

Everybody knows Rick Moonen is a stellar chef, a successful restaurateur, a champion advocate of sustainable seafood practices and an overall cool guy, as evidenced by his appearances on Top Chef and Top Chef Masters. But not everybody knows Moonen's also a mad scientist, a super-geek-level enthusiast when it comes to the elements that make great food and drink so great. The recent decision to re-conceptualize the upstairs space at his RM Seafood restaurant at Mandalay Bay is Moonen's opportunity to indulge his geekiest food-science fantasies. What will this mean for us? Possibly the most interesting cocktail program in Las Vegas. The former fine dining room is being transformed into Rx Boiler Room, a Bunsen burner and bubbling beaker-laden lounge and restaurant focused on applying modern, precise technique to classic cocktails and comfort food. Moonen is hoping to open it this summer in time for the arrival of the new Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson ONE show at Mandalay. The concept has been in Moonen's mind for quite a while. "When it comes to cocktails in Vegas, for a while it was about the show, handsome guys throwing bottles around," he says. "It was fun and it works, but if the bottle fell and broke, it wouldn't be the end of the world because it wasn't really about the cocktail. Little by little, that has changed. You've got the little Downtown bars approaching the craft in a serious way, and places like Herbs & Rye, and then Cosmo came along with a very serious approach with a little more fun. So Vegas is ready for this now."

http://ademaslan988.buzznet.com/user/journal/17329985/hendren-global-group-top-facts/ Fraud prevention is very important to big or even smaller businesses. Self-storage industry is beginning to be affected by cybercrime and it is becoming a big problem. This can be prevented through effective training and education to make owners and managers aware of the developing problem. Same methods that were already adapted by cybercriminals to target other industries and some of the same methods used to defraud businesses before digital age can be used against our industry. Small- to medium-sized businesses are in more risk than ever unlike before that only the most high-profile cybercrime cases involves child victimization or Russian spies. Although large corporations have the most up to date protection of their systems they always tune it up because they still have been fighting online fraud for many years. This is why smaller outfits (family-owned self-storage facilities or even smaller chain operations) should be vigilant to what is happening in the cyber underworld as well. Larger companies stronger defense made cybercriminals turn to smaller businesses as their victims. These smaller outfits only have a small IT staff or sometimes none at all, making them an easier target. What they should be doing is to start teaching themselves of the latest scams and methods of today's digital thieves. Criminal Minds and Methods. Cyber thieves use many various techniques to trick their victims. Cyber criminals have the reputation that they large affect large bank because "that's where the money is." What self-storage owners and managers should know is that these cyber criminals are now also targeting their industry. Now also seen on self-storage industry is the some same methods used to target the broader real estate industry. Even if there are few self-storage attacks that were known to public, in general small organizations is now cyber thieves target preys. Related Po

Among the worst offenders: government agencies. The jobs of the nation's citizen soldiers are supposed to be safe while they are serving their country: Federal law does not allow employers to penalize service members because of their military duties. Yet every year, thousands of National Guard and reserve troops coming home from Afghanistan and elsewhere find they have been replaced, demoted, denied benefits or seniority. Government agencies are among the most frequent offenders, accounting for about a third of the more than 15,000 complaints filed with federal authorities since the end of September 2001, records show. Others named in the cases include some of the biggest names in American business, such as Wal-Mart and United Parcel Service. With good jobs still scarce in many states, the illegal actions have contributed to historically high joblessness among returning National Guard and reserve members - as high as 50% in some California units - and created a potential obstacle to serving. "The whole point of the National Guard and reserves, how they save the country money, is they get paid only when they are serving," said Sam Wright, director of the Service Members Law Center at the Reserve Officers Assn. "It's a great deal for the country, but if we don't protect their civilian jobs … they aren't going to volunteer and serve." Veterans' advocates say that the heavy use of the nation's citizen-soldiers to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan placed a burden on employers in a tough economy. Even as 11 years of war wind down, Guard and reserve members are being called up for peacekeeping and other duties around the world.
