# Kevin Sneader

Kevin Sneader (born c. 1966) is a Canadian-born British management consultant. He was McKinsey & Company's global managing partner from July 2018 to July 2021. He failed to secure a second term in that position in early 2021, becoming the first global managing partner since 1976 not to win such an election. He was hired by Goldman Sachs as co-president for the Asia-Pacific region in September 2021.

## Early life and education

Kevin Sneader was born 1966 in Canada and grew up in Glasgow, Scotland. His father, Walter Sneader, was a chemistry professor at the University of Strathclyde; his mother, Myrna, was a teacher in a Jewish nursery school. He is Jewish.
Sneader attended Hutchesons' Grammar School in Glasgow and went on to graduate from the University of Glasgow, where he earned a Bachelor of Laws. He earned a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School, where he was a Baker Scholar.

## Career

Sneader joined McKinsey and Company upon graduating from the University of Glasgow. He was the managing partner of McKinsey's UK and Ireland division until 2014, when he became the chairman of its Asia-Pacific division. In February 2018, he was appointed as McKinsey's global managing partner to succeed Dominic Barton in July. Kevin Sneader was McKinsey’s first Scottish, and its first Jewish, leader.

## Personal life

Sneader is married to Amy Muntner. Sneader lives in Hong Kong with his wife, Amy, and their two daughters.

## Controversy

In 2019, McKinsey & Company received criticism for its role as consultant to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. In a 2019 email to the firm, Sneader indicated that McKinsey had never focused on developing, advising or implementing immigration policies. McKinsey, he wrote, “will not, under any circumstances, engage in work, anywhere in the world, that advances or assists policies that are at odds with our values.” A subsequent New York Times investigation claimed that McKinsey's involvement in deportations had been more extensive than Sneader acknowledged in his email.
Sneader was also in charge in McKinsey during controversies around their work with Saudi Arabia and Russia, the former after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Similarly damaging were revelations of their work with Purdue Pharma while also working for the FDA during the opioid crisis. McKinsey paid $619m to settle claims brought by 50 US states, five territories and the District of Columbia over its opioid work.
The settlements come after lawsuits unearthed a trove of documents showing how McKinsey worked to drive sales of Purdue Pharma’s OxyContin painkiller amid an opioid crisis in the United States that has contributed to the deaths of more than 450,000 people over the past two decades.

# Dorothy Gardiner (historian)

Dorothy Gardiner (born Dorothy Kempe) (31 August 1873 – 23 January 1957) was a British non-fiction writer and historian.

## Life

Gardiner was born in London in 1873. Her parents were Mary Jane, Lady Kempe and Sir John Arrow Kempe, who served as Comptroller and Auditor General. Her uncles included the amateur mathematician Sir Alfred Bray Kempe and the electrical engineer Harry Robert Kempe.
She benefitted and was later aware of the improvements that had been made in the educational opportunities open to women. She was able to study English in Oxford at Lady Margaret Hall and gained a third class degree. Gardiner wrote poetry which was published in periodicals.
She wrote for the Early English Text Society, The Legend of the Holy Grail: Its Sources, Character and Development in 1905. In the following year she began working for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. She was the honorary secretary of their committee on women's work until 1910.
She decided to study the improvements that had been made in the educational opportunities open to women. She started ten years of work in about 1919. The resulting work published in 1929 was English Girlhood at School: A Study of Women's Education Through Twelve Centuries. She played down the effect of icons like Mary Wollstonecraft and the Blue Stockings. A 2013 view by Jackie Eales notes the work as solid but with outdated conclusions.
Gardiner's other works include A Social History of Sussex in 1912; Canterbury in 1923; Companion into Kent in 1934; The Oxinden Letters, 1607–1662 in 1933 and The Oxinden and Peyton Letters, 1642–1667 in 1937 were based on those of the 17th century poet Henry Oxenden. He was a collector of letters. Not just letters to himself but letters by people he knew.

## Private life

Gardiner married Thory Gage Gardiner when he was the Rector of Lambeth. He went on to be a residential canon of Canterbury Cathedral. They had no children.
Gardiner died at her home in 1957 in Canterbury. She had taken an interest in education as a Canterbury councillor, was a justice of the peace and chair of Canterbury Archaeological Society.

# Sheriff of Renfrew and Argyll

The Sheriff of Renfrew and Argyll was historically the royal official responsible for enforcing law and order and bringing criminals to justice in Renfrew and Argyll, Scotland.
Prior to 1748, most sheriffdoms were held on a hereditary basis. From that date, following the Jacobite uprising of 1745, hereditary sheriffs were replaced by salaried sheriff-deputes, qualified advocates who were members of the Scottish Bar.
The sheriffdom of Renfrew was combined with the sheriffdom of Bute in 1871, creating the new position of Sheriff of Bute and Renfrew. In 1946, it was merged with the sheriffdom of Argyll, creating the position of Sheriff of Renfrew and Argyll. That sheriffdom was dissolved in 1975 and replaced by the current sheriffdom of North Strathclyde.

# Heath railway station

Heath railway station was a railway station in the village of Holmewood, Derbyshire. The station name of Heath was named after the neighbouring village of Heath although the station was in Holmewood instead.

# Switching Control Center System

The Switching Control Center System was an operations support system developed by Bell Laboratories and deployed during the early 1970s. This computer system was first based on the PDP-11 product line from Digital Equipment Corporation and used the CB Unix operating system and custom application software and device drivers that were developed and maintained by Bell Labs in Columbus, Ohio USA. SCCS was ported to the AT&T 3B20 and 3B5 computers running UNIX System V Release 2 in the early 1980s.
Prior to the SCCS, many telephone company switching centers were staffed 24 hours a day 365 days a year. With SCCS, telephone companies could significantly reduce the number of technicians and dispatch them as required to resolve problems or perform routine maintenance operations.
During the early 1970s, telephone companies began to phase out the older electromechanical switching systems such as the Number 1 Crossbar, Number 5 Crossbar, and step-by-step circuit switching systems and replace them with newer electronic switching systems that were controlled by proprietary computers but still used analog switch fabrics such as Bell-proprietary ferreed switch devices.
The SCCS system was phased out during the late 1990s and replaced by an OSS known as Network Monitoring and Analysis or NMA that was developed by Bell Communications Research now Telcordia Technologies. AT&T developed additional products based on SCCS software, such as Compulert.
The primary purpose of the SCCS system was to provide operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAMP) functions for telephone company network operations staff. The SCCS accepted as input the slow 110 baud Teletype messages from circuit switching systems such as the Number 1 ESS, Number 2 ESS, Number 3 ESS, Number 5 ESS, and Traffic Service Position System (TSPS) network switches and provide analysis, reports, troubleshooting support, and other functions using newer faster DataSpeed-40 terminals.
This system was documented in the Bell System Technical Journal and AT&T internal Bell System Practices during the 1970s.
# Kfar Blum

Kfar Blum (Hebrew: כפר בלום, lit. 'Blum Village') is a kibbutz in the Hula Valley part of the Upper Galilee in Israel. Located about 6 km (4 mi) southeast of the town of Kiryat Shmona, it falls under the jurisdiction of Upper Galilee Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 771.

## History

Kibbutz Kfar Blum was founded in November 1943 by the Labor Zionist Habonim (now Habonim Dror) youth movement, adjacent to the Palestinian village of Al-Salihiyya. The founding members of the kibbutz were primarily from the United Kingdom, South Africa, the United States and the Baltic countries. The kibbutz was named in honor of Léon Blum, the Jewish socialist former prime minister of France who was the focus of a widely publicized, and ultimately unsuccessful, show trial in 1942 mounted by the collaborationist Vichy regime.

## Economy

Agriculture (cotton, dairy, fruit) and light industry (metal working) have formed the primary economic basis for the kibbutz. In recent years this has been supplemented increasingly by tourism. Kfar Blum's location near the Jordan River at the foot of Mount Hermon has made it a center for outdoor recreational activities including walking, hiking, kayaking, rafting and bird watching.

## Education and culture

The kibbutz has a regional school, a sports arena and a hotel. It was also home to Hapoel Galil Elyon, a top division basketball team, which in 1993 became the first club from outside Tel Aviv to win the championship.
Between 1969 and 1993, Kfar Blum was home to 24 years of the American Class, an academic-year-long program for an annual cohort of 15 to 30 U.S. and Canadian 10th-graders. Founded by Kfar Blum member Pinchas Rimon, American Class participants lived with kibbutz teenagers, held kibbutz jobs, were “adopted” into kibbutz families, and attended school in a classroom of the Emek Hahula High School.
Since 1985 Kfar Blum has been the site of the annual Voice of Music Festival in Upper Galilee, also referred to as the Kfar Blum Festival, a chamber music festival that is held in mid-summer. This week-long event has grown to become the premier chamber music festival in Israel, drawing 15,000 visitors in recent years.
