London Politica now has 211 active employees, based around the globe and split across three departments; Research, Business Development, and Communications.

== History ==
As a political risk advisory London Politica provides intelligence, analysis, and advice to businesses and institutions globally on how political decisions, events, or conditions might affect their profitably, security, or operations. According to its CEO, the firm also hopes to help democratise the political risk space by orientating its services primarily towards NGOs and charitable organisations who often lack political risk coverage due to its high cost, despite typically operating in politically tense or unstable zones.
In June 2021, London Politica entered into a research partnership with Arielle for Africa, an NGO specialising in social enterprise for African youth. It has also worked in partnership with Global Citizen (organization)|Global Citizen, Confederation of Indian Industry, HumanAid, and Pakistan Britain Business Council.
London Politica also produces a range of public facing content. This includes the ‘London Politica Podcast’, which covers emerging and prominent trends in political risk analysis, exploring developments in international relations, business, civic, and governmental arenas. The Podcast has featured Parag Khanna, Kerry Brown (historian)|Dr Kerry Brown, Richard Schmierer, and John Hulsman|Dr John Hulsman.

Lonesome Day Blues

"Lonesome Day Blues" is the fifth song on Bob Dylan's 2001 album "Love and Theft". According to engineer Chris Shaw, it was the first song recorded for the album and "really set the mood for that whole record."
Music journalist Hank Shteamer, writing in a Rolling Stone article on "The 25 Best Bob Dylan songs of the 21st Century", where it placed 20th, called the song "a loose and raucous 12-bar shuffle in the spirit of classics like 'Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat,' where (Dylan) throws narrative out the window and simply riffs." Shteamer also noted that, although Dylan had been experimenting with blues forms for over 40 years when he recorded it, "he’d rarely sounded like he was having more fun with the genre than he did on “Lonesome Day Blues.” 
A live version from a Dylan concert in 2002 is included in The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 – Tell Tale Signs (2008).
The British-Irish folk-rock band The Waterboys, and its lead singer Mike Scott (musician) in solo performance, have covered the song on numerous occasions over the years.

Long-distance running

Long-distance running, often known as endurance running, is a kind of continuous running that takes place over distances of at least three kilometres (1.9 mi). Physiologically, it is mostly aerobic in nature, and it requires both physical stamina and mental power.
Humans are among the best-adapted animals for long-distance running, and they are especially well-suited for it among primates. The endurance running theory proposes that the evolution of running endurance in the genus Homo occurred as a result of the benefits of travelling over vast distances for scavenging chances and the ability to engage in persistent hunting. Besides migratory ungulates and a small number of terrestrial carnivores like bears, dogs, wolves, and hyenas, the ability to sprint over long distances is also seen in a variety of other animals.

In his first term on the City Council, Rich became known for proposing controversial reforms. In 1992 he proposed limiting welfare benefits to those in the program who have additional children. In 1992 at a City Council Retreat, he proposed sweeping changes to the local government, in a paper titled "A New Course for Alexandria... A New Model for Local Government". The paper received criticism after many stakeholders and interest groups felt they were not consulted, but was praised by others who felt it sparked a dialogue. One proposal in the paper (p. 8) was to rename the Talented and Gifted (TAG) program in schools to remove the false sense of superiority to students in that program. In 2023 Alexandria City Public Schools updated the TAG program to Advanced Academic Services (AAS).
In 1996, Rich officially proposed the legalization of same-sex marriage before the Alexandria CIty Council. His proposal was not passed, instead several other protections for the gay community were proposed that were deemed more likely to be considered in the Virginia General Assembly.
