Scott & Bailey

John Preston of "The Daily Telegraph" gave a mixed review: though he commended the acting of Sharp and Jones, he stated that "it badly needs some shape and tension". The "Metro" took a decidedly critical stance, with its reviews getting progressively worse with each new episode; first describing it as "comforting but could have been so much better", then later quipping that ""Scott & Bailey" will never be compelling TV", and that the programme was "a mediocre crime drama amidst a saturated market of mediocre crime dramas".

C13orf46

Human C13orf46 isoform X1 protein has one predicted paralog among mucins, specifically mucin-1. Mucins play a role in creating protective mucus barriers on epithelial tissues. The MUC1 gene is located on chromosome 1 at 1q22, contains 11 exons, and has 22 different isoforms. Mucins are highly O-glycosylated and contain tandem repeat domains abundant with proline, serine, and threonine. Surrounding the repeat domains are cysteine rich regions. Mucin genes do not always share a common ancestry, are prone to convergent evolution, and are grouped based on their functionality instead of common evolutionary history.

History of Jardine Matheson & Co.

Hong Kong is an island at the mouth of the Pearl River, about from Canton separated from the mainland of Kowloon by a strip of water which at the narrowest point is only wide. As late as 1840, the island seemed to have no potential development value. Lying just below the Tropic of Cancer, its climate was considered hot, humid, and unhealthy. In area the island is less than , and rises steeply from the water. Before westerners arrived, the total land and water population of around 5,000 fisherfolk and quarrymen lived along the eastern and southern shores. It was also suspected that pirates used the island as a hiding place. Prima facie, the only thing to recommend the island was its natural deep-water harbour. "Hong Kong" came from the Cantonese "Heung Gawng" (香港) meaning "fragrant harbour" and possibly originated from the scent emanating from the sandalwood incense factories across the water in what is now Shenzhen.

Scott & Bailey

One of the more persistent criticisms of the show (especially its first two series) has been its indifferent or decidedly negative depiction of male characters. Dianne Butler, who reviewed the programme upon its airing in Australia, made a similar point, questioning the relevance of the show's male characters: "there are some men in this but they're fairly incidental". "The Guardian"s John Crace expressed his belief that most of the programme's male characters are deficient in some way, writing: "surely it must be possible to make a show with women lead characters without having to make every male a complete dork? From Janet's useless husband and Rachel's idiot brother who can't boil an egg without burning down the kitchen".

Through clinical trials, Jeffrey Weber, director of the Donald A. Adam Comprehensive Melanoma Research Center at Moffitt, and researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center discovered two monotherapy drugs – Mekinist (trametinib) and Tafinlar (dabrafenib) – can be safely combined to overcome or delay treatment resistance for a large percentage of melanoma patients with a specific gene mutation. Approved by the FDA in January 2014, Mekinist in combination with Tafinlar is one of the biggest advancements in melanoma treatment in the past 30 years.

Alex & Eve

Alex & Eve (2015) was regarded with mixed opinions, but with overall success. Review aggregator Rotten tomatoes gave the film an 82% Fresh Rating, reflecting 11 critic responses in 2015. Critic, Greg King, of the Australian Film Critics Association, identifies the film as a "delightful romantic comedy...hold(ing) great appeal for mainstream audiences." "The Guardian" scored the film a 3 out of 5, for "offer(ing) a marketable point of difference to Hollywood...without overplaying their multiculturalism angle." "Sydney Morning Herald" and "the Age" identified it as "at times broad and a touch gauche but it has the spark of real life, and a sense that it could not have come from anywhere else."

Furthering Asbestos Claims Transparency Act of 2015

The FACT Act would require public disclosure of personal information of asbestos victims. Under the legislation, the only information shielded from the disclosure is "confidential medical records" and a victims "full social security number." According to a 2013 piece published in "The Hill's Congress Blog" by Susan Vento, widow of Congressman Bruce Vento, and Judy van Ness, with the Asbestos Cancer Victims' Rights Campaign, information that may be requested and publicly disclosed includes the victims name, address, date of birth, last four digits of their social security number, information about children and spouses, employment history, salary history, information about their medical condition, and personal finances.

Following the company’s opening formation, one of the two resident Canton partners of the company travelled to India in order to work and maintain development of supply streams for the Russell & Company.[3] Succeeding this, Russell & Company developed their own unique streams of supply and trade to dominate the market of opium within Canton nearing the middle of the century and specifically in the opening years of the 1830’s.

European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare

According to WHO, it is estimated that half of all medicines worldwide are inappropriately prescribed, dispensed or sold, and that half of all patients fail to take their medicines properly. Errors related to medication use, lack of documentation on how medicines are prescribed, used and dispensed, as well as insufficient communication have a considerable impact on national mortality and morbidity rates. Therefore, the safe and appropriate use of medicines, which depends on the right information being available to those that need it, is as important as product quality.

History of Jardine Matheson & Co.

"...the advantage of Hongkong would be that the more the Chinese obstructed trade in Canton, the more they would drive trade to the new English settlement. Moreover, Hongkong was admittedly one of the finest harbours in the world. His enthusiasm was not shared by many of his fellow merchants. Understandably, they preferred not to abandon their comfortable residences on Macau's Praya Grande for the bleak slopes of Hong Kong Island. Bad luck made matters worse for the early Victorian builders. In quick succession, two typhoons and two fires flattened the new settlement while a virulent malaria epidemic almost succeeded in wiping out the island's population. For years, the Canton Press in Macau never lost an opportunity to ridicule and slander the venture. Even Queen Victoria was unimpressed with her new acquisition. Once she wrote a sarcastic note to the King of the Belgians:"--Albert is so much amused at my having got the island of Hongkong, and we think Victoria ought to be called Princess of Hongkong as well as Princess Royal." Despite the setbacks and ridicule, the colony's founders refused to be discouraged.

Alex & Eve

Cinephilia Film Reviews identifies it as "well-intentioned in its depiction of its Sydney settings, but it is so trivialising in its contrived and ham-fistedly manipulative play for laughs." "The Australian" scored a 1.5 out of 5, of which the film "seems strained...as both families register their horror...the material may have been funny on stage." The "Hollywood Reporter" recognises its "witty dialogue but delivered intermittently, (with) supporting characters poorly defined, however effective use of the Sydney locations." The "Herald Sun" reports the film as a 1.5 out of 5 of whom the "support players are given too much free rein to indulge in dated histrionics."

Russell & Company

American foreign policy throughout the period of Russell & Company’s formation was largely influenced by attitudes of assertive expansion and aggressive Western commercialism that were thought governmentally necessary for a relatively new country that sought domestic stability and economic interdependency. Into the controversial trade of Opium and the growing impact of foreign commercialism on Chinese security, trade-house enterprises such as Russell & Company soon began to pressure the American government to finalise a treaty of commercialism and trade that would aid tensions with China and assist in the continuation of overseas American companies and a flowing international economy.

Russell & Company

Ultimately however, pressures from American and Western governments did not highly impact the commercial interests and ambitions of Russell & Company, even during the Opium wars wherein the company sought to operate as independently as possible in order to continue to fulfil profit margins. An example of this is during the opium war of 1840, wherein Russell & Company acquired a British owned ship entering Huangpu. The Ship had been sold in desperation as the owner knew of the risk of operating the ship within a known warzone. Named the ‘Chesapeake’, Russell & Company ended in selling the vessel to the Chinese Government. for an exorbitant price, exemplifying Russell’s dedication to enterprise and independent commercialism.

In the early days, fevers and plagues were a constant menace to the dwellers in Hong Kong, and, the heat during the summer months was difficult to bear. The directors of the firm pioneered construction of residences on The Peak where living was considered more pleasant and healthy.

Several asbestos trusts have expressed strong opposition to this legislation, in part because of the burdensome administrative costs that will significantly reduce recoveries for future trust claimants.

Russell & Company

The decline of Russell & Company was led by a transformation in Chinese trade. The Second Opium War and the Tianjin Treaties in particular shifted more autonomy toward Western countries within regard to the extent of their dealings within China. Opium importation was eventually illegalized and more ports were established. Government regulation and inspection system meant that competition intensified and the former houses of trade met new challenges that they could not meet. Russell and Company failed to adapt to these new conditions as their trading structure had once relied on a heavily autonomous structure amongst a little number of rivals and a lack of government intervention and regulation.

History of Jardine Matheson & Co.

"Jardine's Corner" was one such landmark, but the best known location associated with the firm is a hill top known as "Jardine's Lookout". From here, in the days of sail, a watch was kept for the first glimpse of the sails of the firm's clippers coming from India and London. As soon as a vessel was signalled, a fast whaleboat was sent out to collect Jardine's mails. The correspondence was rushed back to the office so that the directors could have the first possible information on the world's markets. Jardine's Bazaar off Jardine's Crescent dates to 1845 and is one of the oldest shopping streets in Hong Kong. The Noonday Gun, located opposite the Excelsior Hotel, dates to the 1860s and a time when Jardine's private militia would fire a salvo to salute the arrival of the firm's Taipan in the harbour. This upset the British Navy who insisted that such salutes were reserved for more important people than the head of a trading house. As a penalty Jardines were ordered to fire the gun every day at noon in perpetuity.

Furthering Asbestos Claims Transparency Act of 2015

Cancer patient rights advocates say the FACT Act will cause long delays in payment of trust claims. Elihu Inselbuch, an expert on trust management and partner at Caplin & Drysdale, explained that because trusts will be buried in additional paperwork, the FACT Act "would slow down or stop the process by which the trusts review and pay claims, such that many victims would die before receiving compensation, since victims of mesothelioma typically only live for 4 to 18 months after their diagnosis." In many cases, "the delays in trust payment will force dying plaintiffs, who are in desperate need of funds, to settle for lower amounts with solvent defendants.… Delay is a weapon for asbestos defendants."

Russell & Company

The civil war in America also disrupted the company’s ability to influence foreign policy, meaning that the power and influence they once held began to quickly diminish. The company was without funds, federal backing and support from importers and purchasers who had been affected by both the civil war and the internal shifts of domestic China. Russell & Company relied heavily on an old framework of commercial business, but as time went on, businessmen and traders began processes of outsourcing and no longer confined trade to one house or dependency. Revolution in steam transport and continued industrialization altered shipping processes, meaning the former frame work by which the company relied, failed; meaning the company met significant losses at the hands of newer firms who were more able to adapt business models which were not pre-conformed. Alterations in communication methods also cause significant problems for Russell & Company. The failure to obtain communication regarding market fluctuations at the head of further competitors disadvantaged the historic firm even further.

History of Jardine Matheson & Co.

Meanwhile, in Shanghai, Jardine, Matheson & Co. were the first to register a building lot on the Bund in 1843 where their first premises at No. 27 were completed in 1851. In the second edition of his Shanghai handbook published in 1920, the Rev. C. B. Darwent estimated that by 1900, the firm's initial investment of £500 in the land was by then worth £1,000,000. Plans for a new Renaissance style building with five stories were drawn up by local architects Stewardson & Spence and work began in 1920. The building was completed in November 1922 and featured a specially designed silk room with exceptional lighting to aid the silk inspectors in their work. Another story was later added to the building and it is today home to the Shanghai Foreign Trade Bureau ().

This bill is sponsored by Republicans in the House of Representatives and Senate. The FACT Act is also supported by the United States Chamber of Commerce, which listed the bill as one of their top legislative priorities of the 114th legislative session. In their letter to Congress, the U.S. Chamber claims this legislation is needed to shine a light on asbestos victim trusts and prevent "double-dipping" by victims.

Russell & Company

In the 1860s, the China trade underwent a series of transformation which was the result of more competition from their British rivals and the shortened length of time that was needed to commute to locations with the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. By the 1870s, Russell & Co. were forced to seize their banking operations as the lucrative importing of precious metals were eventually overtaken by newer commission firms and professional banks. Initially, Shanghai S. N. Co. was established to counter their losses, however their rates of return would continue to decrease and in 1877 they were acquired by the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company alongside their waterfront properties. Facing further financial difficulties, the company devolved into Shewan & Company in 1891.

History of Jardine Matheson & Co.

In 1862, William Keswick bailed out the fledgling Shanghai Race Club to avoid its financial ruin. At its Spring and Autumn meetings, rivalry between the big "Hongs" such as Jardines and Dents proved intense. The private EWO stables, located next to the Shanghai Race Club, housed 46 ponies in 1922 while the firm had 21 gentlemen riders on its payroll.

Opponents of the legislation dispute the motivation of the law and the need to prevent double dipping. 'Double-dippers' are alleged to file multiple claims that may not be congruent with one another, and thus, may be considered fraudulent." In testimony to Congress, asbestos trust expert, Elihu Inselbuch explained that the idea that victims can double-dip is largely false. "When an asbestos victim recovers from each defendant whose product contributed to their disease, that victim is in no way 'double-dipping;' rather they are recovering a portion of their damages from each of the corporations who harmed them. In fact, each trust is responsible for and pays for only its own share of the damages." In 2011, the Government Accountability Office investigated possible frauds in the Asbestos Victim Trusts and could not find one example of a fraudulent claim.

Russell & Company

Russell Sturgis & Co. was established in 1834 as a branch of a Manila commission firm Russell & Sturgis under the guidance of Cushing. The founder, George R. Russell (no relation to Samuel Russell) was the nephew of Ammidon. The similarities in naming became important to note for the partners of Russell & Co. though Russell, Sturgis & Co. would never address it. By 1840, the firm was acquired by Russell & Co"."

History of Jardine Matheson & Co.

New offices were also opened in the trading centres of Fuzhou and Tianjin and, during the latter half of the nineteenth century, the firm underwent a dramatic transformation from an agency house acting for principals to a more diversified business. It traded in a wide variety of imports and exports, promoted railways and other much needed infrastructure projects in China, and founded banks and insurance companies as the country strove towards modernisation.

In October 2015, in a piece written for "The Hill," titled "Farenthold has his facts wrong: The FACT Act hurts veterans," representatives from The Military Order of the Purple Heart of the U.S.A (MOPH), American Veterans (AMVETS), and the Association of the United States Navy (AUSN), explained their organizations' strong opposition to this "legislation due to its detrimental and disparate impact on men and women in uniform." They explained the FACT Act of 2015 "would be extremely detrimental to our members and all veterans who were exposed to asbestos while serving their country, in addition to their family members. Veterans disproportionately make up those who are dying and afflicted with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses and injuries." In addition, according to Stars and Stripes (newspaper), 16 veterans groups came out in strong opposition to the FACT Act.
