South West Water

South West Water is a UK company that supplies water in Devon and Cornwall and parts of Dorset and Somerset. It came into being in 1989 with the privatisation of the water industry.About Us, South West Water website, accessed 25 October 2009
South West Water is a subsidiary of the Pennon Group, which "operates and invests in water and sewerage services, waste management and renewable energy".Welcome to Pennon Group plc, Pennon Group website, accessed Oct 25 2009
==Controversies==
===Pollution record===
South West Water has repeatedly been named as one of the major polluters of rivers. According to an article in The Sunday Times in October 2009:
:Water companies have been prosecuted 342 times in the past five years. The worst offender was South West Water which was prosecuted for 42 pollution offences.Fines fail to stop river polluters, Sunday Times, 18 October 2009, accessed 25 Oct 2009
Fines for polluting rivers are small. According to the Environment Agency, the average fine for each breach was just £4,411. This is a tiny fraction of water companies' profits. 
===High prices===
South West Water customers pay the highest water charges in the UK and the company has come under much criticism from consumer and other bodies for this. In July 2009 industry regulator Ofwat announced plans to compel the company to lower bills in the region by 6 per cent – the exact opposite of proposals outlined in the firm's business plan to put up prices by the same amount.South West Water ordered to cut bills, thisisdevon.co.uk, 24 July 2009, accessed 25 Oct 2009
The company blames the high prices on the area's long coastline (so there are many beaches to keep clean) and low population.South West Water ordered to cut bills, thisisdevon.co.uk, 24 July 2009, accessed 25 Oct 2009 But the high prices may also have something to do with the fact that South West Water has a monopoly on water supply in most of the West Country, so consumers have no choice.

It was established in 1983 by a group of Russian emigres connected to the Narodny Trudovy Soyuz (NTS). In 1984, the publication received a £129,000 grant from the National Endowment for Democracy. The grant was negotiated by the review's New York-based publishers, the Russian Research Foundation. It's editor at the time George Miller, was the son of Boris Miller, the UK representative of NTS. George Miller told the Guardian that the NTS believed in a 'Catholic-based, Thatcher-type classical liberalism.'Britons get cash from US 'slush fund' / British organisations receiving money from US sources to 'promote democracy', Guardian, 9 December 1985.

Sozialistische Arbeiter Partei

The Sozialistische Arbeiter Partei (SAP) or Socialist Workers' Party, was an underground socialist party in Nazi Germany.
According to Marxists.org:
::The Sozialistische Arbeiter Partei (SAP) was founded in October 1931 after the German Social Democratic Party had expelled its left wing, led initially by Max Seydewitz, but they were joined in 1932 by a split from the KPO of Brandler and Thalheimer led by Jakob Walcher and Paul Frolich, the biographer of Rosa Luxemburg, which subsequently took over the leadership of the organisation. The leader of its youth organisation was Willi Brandt, later to be Mayor of West Berlin and Chancellor of the German Federal Republic.The KPD and the Solidarity of the Illegals, marxists.org, accessed 17 January 2012.
The SAP was part of the International Buro for Revolutionary Socialist Unity, the "London Buro", established at a conference in Paris in 1933.Robert J. Alexander, The Right Opposition: The Lovestoneites and the International Communist Opposition of the 1930s, Greenwood Press, 1981, p.289. It was expelled from the enlarged buro in February 1938.Robert J.

Special Boat Service

The Special Boat Service can be traced back to the Special Boat Section created in 1943 and commanded at one time by George Jellicoe. The history of the SBS 'spans over 6 decades, seeing the unit go through many a transformation - from Army commando units of World War 2, to an elite sub-unit of The Royal Marines to its present day incarnation as a highly specialised element of UK Special Forces (UKSF).'Special Boat Service History Of The SBS - The UK's Naval Special Forces, accessed 31 December 2009 the SBS was reportedly renamed the Special Boat Squadron in 1977 and took nts current name with the creation of the UK Special Forces in 1987.HMForces.co.uk The Special Boat Service (SBS), accessed 31 December 2009
==Foundation==
According to the Special Boat Service website (an unoffical site not afilliated to the SBS or MoD):
:The SBS began its history during World War 2 as the Special Boat Section, an Army commando unit tasked with amphibious operations. The men of the fledging unit were not particularly well trained or equipped but they were enthusiastic, resourceful and cunning. Usually working in 2 man groups, paddling ashore on canoes launched from submarine motherships, the teams would seek out and sabotage high value targets such as rail and communication lines. The first of such raids took place along the shores of Italy and the Mediterranean islands.
:The fledging special operations force also developed anti-shipping skills, using canoes to sneak into harbors and plant limpet mines on the hulls of enemy ships. In November 1942, one group of Royal Marines, who were to become known as 'The Cockleshell Heroes', carried out an audacious attack on German shipping, a raid that took them far up the Gironde river where they sank 4 enemy ships.
:Their expertise at clandestine infiltration made the SBS the perfect choice for inserting and extracting secret agents in the European theatre and this was a task they carried out many times throughout the course of the war.Special Boat Service History Of The SBS - The UK's Naval Special Forces, accessed 31 December 2009

Special Operations Executive

The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was a British agency operating during the Second World War, with responsibility for 'special operations' including psychological warfare, assassinations and paramilitary activities.Stephen Dorril, MI6, Touchstone 2002, p.103.
SOE was established in in July 1940 by consolidating Section D of MI6 with MI R, a War Office guerrilla warfare research group and a covert propaganda unit, Department EH.Thomas E. Mahl, Desperate Deception: British Covert Operations in the United States 1939-44, Brassey's, 1999, p.13.
Initially, SOE had three sections, SO.1 for propaganda, SO.2 for dirty tricks, and SO.3 for planning. A year later SO.1 was separated to become the Political Warfare Executive under Rex Leeper and Robert Bruce Lockhart.Thomas E.

Special Studies Project

The Special Studies Project was a study funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and conceived by its then president, Nelson Rockefeller, to 'define the major problems and opportunities facing the U.S. and clarify national purposes and objectives, and to develop principles which could serve as the basis of future national policy'. The study ran between 1956 and 1960. 
Nelson recruited Henry Kissinger, who was then on the faculty of Harvard University, as director of the project; he had first met Kissinger in 1955. He also brought on board such luminaries as Edward Teller, Charles Percy, Dean Rusk, John Gardner (president of the Carnegie Corporation) and Henry Luce, along with his brothers Laurance and John D. 3rd. Six panels were constituted that looked at sweeping issues ranging from military/security stategy to foreign policy, to international economic stategy and defense department and governmental reorganization.
The seven sub-panels were:
*Panel I - International Objectives and Strategies ; chaired by Dean Rusk, the report was written mostly by August Heckscher
*Panel II - International Security Objectives and Strategy; directed by Henry Kissinger. Panellists included Frank Altschul, Gordon Dean, James B. Fisk, Roswell Gilpatric, Townsend Hoopes, Henry Luce, Laurance Rockefeller, Edward Teller, Carroll L. Wilson, and economist Arthur Smithies.
*Panel III - International Economic and Social Objectives and Strategy ; chaired by Milton Katz. Harlan Cleveland was a panellist.
*Panel IV - U.S. Economic and Social Policy; chaired by Thomas B. McCabe
*Panel V - U.S. Utilization of Human Resources; chaired by John W. Gardner
*Panel VI - U.S. Democratic Process; chaired by James A. Perkins
*Panel VII - The Moral Framework of National Purpose
The military subpanel's report was rush-released much earlier than the others, about two months after the USSR launched Sputnik, in October, 1957. It was given prominent treatment on the front page of The New York Times, selling thousands of copies and garnering unprecedented influence. Many of its major recommendations - principal among them a massive arms buildup to counter perceived Soviet military superiority - were adopted by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his State of the Union address in January, 1958.Rushed release of military subpanel's report - see Cary Reich, The Life of Nelson A. Rockefeller: Worlds to Conquer, 1908-1958, New York: Doubleday, 1996. (pp.650-667)
The project was finally published in its entirety in 1961 as Prospect for America: The Rockefeller Panel Reports. The archival study papers are stored in the Rockefeller Archive Center at the family estate; portions of the papers are still restricted, over four decades after the report was published.

Specialised Healthcare Alliance

Specialised Healthcare Alliance (SHA) is a lobbying organisation with links to some of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies and medical equipment firms. 
==Activities==
==Record and controversies==
In 2014 it emerged that NHS England had commissioned SHA 'to consult patients’ groups, healthcare organisations and charities and produce a report that would be considered as part of its strategy for commissioning specialised services in the future'. 
According to the Independent, SHA is funded by 13 drug companies, while its director John Murray is a lobbyist whose company, JMC Partners, works with clients such as pharmaceutical makers AstraZeneca and Pfizer and medical device company Cyberonics.
:James Palmer, clinical director of specialised services at NHS England, said he was aware of Murray’s role as a lobbyist but “there are no opportunities for lobbying in the process of forming clinical policy”.
:In a statement he said the work by SHCA would feed into a “draft strategy” along with input from another 16 “engagement events”.
:“It is completely wrong to suggest we are being unduly influenced by lobbyists … Specialised Healthcare Alliance was asked along with other organisations to support the process of engaging patient groups and other stakeholders to let us know what they thought the outline principles should be. This did not involve consulting on any individual treatment or consulting on any spending decisions. Every decision we take will be driven by the interests of patients and the public, nothing else.”
