Why Employee Training Needs To Start From Day #1

Nowadays, companies work in a very fast-paced business environment. To surpass their competitors and thrive, there’s one vital activity businesses need to engage in: continuous employee training and development.

There are two things companies should understand:

  1. The brief introductory training an employee receives during onboarding is not enough.
  2. Training should be planned and delivered from the employees’ first day and become an integral part of their work life.

As an example, let’s look at the way some companies organize a new employee’s first day of work. The employee learns about the company through introductory videos or some other means, while managers think of possible ways to set this new employee to work. This is the wrong approach, because your company will never get a second chance to make a first impression. You are not only wasting employee’s time but also showing that your company is disorganized and inefficient. The first step to maximizing your new employee’s productivity and improving the culture of learning in your company is by setting up a social and collaborative training program, and training your employees through the most effective means right from the start of their employment with you.

A survey conducted by the Learning and Work Institute shows that there is a strong correlation between ongoing training and sustainable employment. Workforces that undergo continuous learning adapt better to changes in the company, and can work more effectively and produce better results in the job market. Also, employees who receive ongoing training are more engaged, motivated and flexible.

Research from hppy shows that a constant flow of knowledge and development leads to a very high level of employee engagement, which in turn leads to companies becoming more agile and competitive. After surveying 830 organizations, hppy found that companies with well-developed training programs attracted a more talented workforce, had a greater level of customer satisfaction and an impressive performance level.

Another research done via LinkedIn shows that continuous learning is one of the most effective ways to ensure that employees stay productive and achieve both their personal goals and the company’s goals. Continuous learning also makes it easier for a company to retain trained and valued employees.

Training as an infinite loop

No matter what industry you are in, it’s important to think of employee training as a lifelong process. Long gone is the time when the knowledge attained at university or college was enough for employees to make their best contributions in the business world. New knowledge is being discovered faster than ever before, and to stay competitive your company’s employees need to stay up-to-date and learn how to apply new knowledge for your company’s benefit.

One of the advantages of continuous training is that it ensures that your teams have enough knowledge and develop skills required to perform well not only today but also tomorrow.

Have you heard the phrase, “use it or lose it,” a principle driven by brain plasticity? People tend to forget information they don’t use often. A continuous training program can help you out. Instead of making your employees attend obligatory qualification courses once a year, introduce them to continuous training, where new knowledge and skills can be taught, and previously learned material can be reinforced or adapted to your company’s current needs.

By treating your employees as customers and focusing on their current needs, your training system will become a talent development process that will lead to great benefits for your company.

While you are mapping out a continuous training program, don’t forget the following:

  1. Pay attention to metrics. Track response rates, response times, learner progress and satisfaction. If something doesn’t work or doesn’t produce the expected results, modify your training program.
  2. Make sure that training is needed. Using performance data, define your employees’ information gaps and provide them with the necessary training based on just-in-time learning strategies. The employees’ newly attained skills and knowledge will transfer to the workplace immediately, and encourage further development.
  3. Provide small chunks of information. Learning short and concise material is a key to retaining new information. Also, the content should be directly linked to practice. In other words, your training should be focused on solving current issues. This will result in your company attaining more of its goals.

Business benefits of continuous training and development

Revamping your approach to training can be challenging and time-consuming, but the outcome will be impressive. Let’s take a look at the results that can be achieved by using ongoing training and development:

  • Increased revenue growth. Being armed with top-notch knowledge and up-to-date skills greatly contributes to the quality of the employees’ services. The higher the quality, the happier your customers will be. This leads to an expanded customer base and revenue growth.
  • Improved competitive advantage. Staying on top of the latest developments in both the industry innovations and training methods will move your company forward. Businesses are not static, and your employees’ skills and knowledge needs to be updated and improved.
  • Better talent attraction. By making investments in continuous employee training, you show that you value your employees’ development. This will help you to attract the most qualified and desirable talent, and help that talent to move through your company, making their best contributions to your firm’s success.
  • Higher employee retention. Apart from the fact that ongoing training leads to improved skills and knowledge enrichment, it also contributes to job satisfaction. Your employees will feel motivated, challenged and appreciated, and see your investment in their training as giving them increased chances of reaching their professional goals. Ongoing training is the foundation for your company’s success.

These are just a few examples of the benefits you can expect from a well-trained workforce with current skills. Ongoing training will also help you to identify weaknesses in your current training program and modify it according to your company’s current demands, fill in your employees’ skill gaps, and keep up with industry changes. We believe that such technologies as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are making this process much easier than ever before, and they are almost fully automated.

It is clear that training needs to go beyond onboarding and introductory courses. Focus on training as a constantly running process that will help your company do the best work at the earliest opportunity, drive better results, and keep up with industry changes. Encourage your employees’ professional development and benefit from positive changes in their productivity and job satisfaction.

You are the exact reason why I always recommend people buy Nikon cameras second hand. They are so well built that they last decades. My Nikon FM2n is an early model and just keeps on truckin' year after year after year. It shows no signs of slowing down. Buying second hand, especially in the case of the F6, allows for a massive savings of money. Now we learned that the OP has no F mount lenses and not much funds for a lens. A second hand F6 would have allowed for 1-2 lenses, with no discernible drop in quality for the camera. Well, everyone makes the choices that they are comfortable with.

sophisticated style bathtub by re-bath

Re-Bath’s DuraBath bathroom tubs offer numerous advantages over cast iron, pressed steel and fiberglass units. The durable high-gloss finish won’t dent, rust, peel or crack like most tubs. As a result, they’re easier to clean and maintain, and provide many more years of use and enjoyment. The DuraBath surface is even warm to the touch, providing a more luxuriant and comfortable bathing experience.

Finding the Right Bathtub for Your Remodel

When choosing a bathtub, your Re-Bath designer will help you navigate the possible choices to have the best tub for your situation. Here are a few important considerations:

  • Size – how much room do you have in your bathroom? Do you want a freestanding tub and separate shower, or is a tub/shower combination the best option for your space?
  • Style – Do you want a built in or freestanding tub? If you choose a freestanding tub, do you want a traditional style or a more modern, contemporary style?
  • Fit – Be sure and sit in the tub and “try it on for size” to make sure it’s comfortable for you
  • Quality – Choose quality over price since you’ll have your tub for a long time. Don’t short change yourself by choosing the least expensive model if it isn’t a comfortable fit that works in your bathroom. You’ll only regret it later.
  • Materials – Once you see the long-lasting quality of Re-Bath’s tubs made from our proprietary DuraBath material, you’ll love to have it in your home

» Movies » Why did Nargis Fakhri disappear from Bollywood?

Why did Nargis Fakhri disappear from Bollywood?

January 16, 2019 11:02 IST

'I am not actively searching for a film; I leave it up to the universe.'

"I am a lover of horror films since I was a kid!" exclaims Nargis Fakhri.

The gorgeous actress is promoting her new film Amavas, a horror film with Sachiin Joshi, at a Mumbai venue, and she is in good spirits.

"I get really excited when a new one comes out; I watch them as soon as they release," she tells's Ronjita Kulkarni.

"For a long time, I was curious about how would it feel to work on a horror film set. Is it going to be as intense as when you are watching it? Is it as scary and heart-pounding as when viewers watch it?" she asks as her eyes widen.

Well, is it?

Nargis laughs out loud, and answers her own question: "It can be."

"It was heart-pounding at times. Like, when I am walking down a dark corridor, and it is lit in a certain way so it looks eerie, then the wind blows the curtain... All the people on the set just quietly disappear... The whole set up feels so real that your mind starts playing tricks on you and you start believing where you are," she says.

Nargis picks The Conjuring and The Haunting in Connecticut as her favourite films in this genre. And then, there are the classics, The Omen and The Exorcist.

"When I heard that there is a horror film and they are looking at having me in the cast, I got very excited!" she exclaims. "In all the years that I've been here, no one ever came to me with a horror film. So many different films, but never a horror film."

Bhushan Patel, who directed 1920: Evil Returns, Ragini MMS 2 and Alone, helms this project.

"The way he narrates a story, the passion he has for it, I thought wow, the script is amazing. I would love to be a part of it," she says.

Why hasn't she been doing movies lately? Her last was 2016's Banjo, opposite Riteish Deshmukh.

"Because I like other things," she says, and her smile is gone.

"Films were not my choice. God blessed me and gave me an opportunity to try something. If films come to me, I'll take them, but I will not say yes to everything," she replies.

Nargis has moved back to the US, and spends her time in Los Angeles and New York.

What has been keeping her busy?

"I am working with a foundation that gives grants to female entrepreneurs because I feel a lot of businesswomen are not getting the funding that they need," she says.

"I divide my time into films, the passion that I have and my family and friends. I want to do what makes me happy, and if I do some films, some charity, take care of my family and have fun with my friends, I am the happiest person in the world," she adds.

In between her interviews, Nargis likes to spend her time posing for pictures.

She is wearing a lovely summer dress, which accentuates her slim figure, and turns the corridor into a photo studio.

The pictures that she fusses about, strangely, do not turn up on her well-updated Instagram feed.

How does she like to spend her time when she is not making a movie?

"I just like to be at home and chill. And cook," she answers. "I like to go shopping for home decor. Go hiking. I don't travel so much anymore, but I like travelling."

Were Hindi films a part of her childhood?

Nargis's father was a Pakistani while her mother is from the Czech republic, but the actress is "very American". She was born and raised in New York.

"I didn't watch Hindi films growing up," she answers.

"The only thing I remember of my childhood was that my mum and dad were two immigrants who didn't speak English well. I can't imagine how they communicated with each other. I remember my mum learning to cook Pakistani food. I remember eating it when I was small. But then they divorced when I was probably around 10," she says.

"Then my knowledge of my father's culture disappeared. You grow up in a multicultural city and you just become what the city is like," she adds.

IMAGE: Nargis and Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar.

Nargis landed her first film audition in "my mum's country": Prague in the Czech republic.

She tells the story: "I got an e-mail to come audition for a film. I was very confused because I had never been to India. So they said, 'Oh, we thought you were a model in India'."

"I was living in Denmark then. They asked if I could fly to Prague and meet up, so I said yes. Imtiaz (Ali, director, Rockstar) told me the story. Such a beautiful story! They asked me if I would come to India and learn the language. I didn't respond right away. After a couple of weeks, I said okay."

Rockstar, which saw Nargis opposite Ranbir Kapoor, was a hit, and it gave her a career in Bollywood immediately.

But eight years and quite a few hits later, Nargis admits she still has no friends in the film industry.

"There is no one I can call and cry to," she says, adding that she is not in touch with Imtiaz Ali any more.

Besides Amavas, Nargis is working on Girish Malik's Torbaaz, opposite Sanjay Dutt.

"He (Sanjay Dutt) is super cool and chilled out, easy to work with. Laidback. I don't have the references that everyone else does. I only know him from the day I met him on set. I don't read backstories or anything about him. I only know that I have the same name as his mom. That's it," she says.

"It's very nice when you meet a human being and you know nothing about them. There are no preconceived notions or judgement. So in that sense, people can be very comfortable around you. They can be normal, and you can talk about normal things," she adds.

What next?

"I am not actively searching for a film; I leave it up to the universe."

If your average day is a mad rush to get the kids ready for school, run errands, pick the kids up from school, make dinner, get everyone ready for bed, and do a million things in between, when do you find time to exercise? And that’s if you’re a stay-at-home mom. Fortunately, there are a variety of easy exercise solutions that can keep you in shape and motivated regardless of your hectic schedule.

Make the time. If it means waking up an hour earlier than usual to jog or taking more walks around the office, do what it takes to get your body moving on a regular basis. Is exercise important to you? Then make it a priority.

Stick to a schedule. It’s far too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of all your “other” daily responsibilities and leave exercise out. Schedule time each day to work out, whether at the gym or at home.

Don’t limit yourself. If you think you don’t have the time (or money) to go to a gym, develop an exercise routine at home. These days, all it takes is a mat, an exercise ball and a few light weights (at the most) to tone and shape your body.

Consolidate your workout. Combining multiple exercises simultaneously will save time and burn more calories. The best example of this approach is a step class or aerobic routine that gets the entire body involved.

Find a support system. For many people, self-motivation is a big issue when it comes to starting and sticking to an exercise routine. Enlist a friend, neighbor or family member to exercise with you – or at least hold you accountable.

Get your kids involved. While you’re investing so much time and energy into your children, why not exercise with them? Ride bikes, spend a day at the pool – there are a variety of ways to keep the entire family in shape while teaching them the value of regular exercise. Remember, they learn from your example.

IPL 2019: In difficult situations, MS Dhoni's tactical nous gave CSK the profitable edge over Virat Kohli's RCB

0 0
How typically do you see the profitable captain being important of the pitch? The opening match of IPL was a type of events. At the post-match interviews, Virat Kohli stated he was simply pleased to get a recreation like this out of the way in which. MS Dhoni did not present any apparent enjoyment of profitable the primary recreation of the season and reckoned the wicket must be higher than it’s now.

MS Dhoni learn the pitch accurately and performed an additional spinner. AFP

It would seem that profitable and shedding on an evening like this was determined by a lottery. Luck undoubtedly performed an element within the closing consequence, however the profitable captain made a part of that luck, and the shedding captain was accountable for a part of his misfortune.

In a low scoring recreation the place each groups are struggling to seize an inch, a minor tactical oversight can value you the sport. MS Dhoni was on the button along with his each transfer. He learn the pitch accurately and performed an additional spinner. So certain was he of his profitable mixture that he performed solely three abroad gamers within the IPL opener.

Harbhajan Singh is kind of used to bowling with the brand new ball in T20s. Dhoni could have picked Harbhajan within the squad with this particular position in thoughts. But nobody would have anticipated what adopted. Harbhajan has performed over twenty years of worldwide cricket and has claimed many prized wickets in that interval, however choosing Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers in the identical spell continues to be one thing he would proudly brag about to his grandchildren in future.

Harbhajan did not attempt something fancy in his opening spell. He saved it straight and let the pitch do the remaining. He lured each Kohli and de Villiers  into enjoying the pull shot, a dangerous one on a wicket that’s stopping. Dhoni and Harbhajan will need to have deliberate for this mode of dismissal. That’s why they’d the very best fielder within the facet, Ravindra Jadeja, patrolling the mid-wicket boundary.

RCB batting line up is at all times high heavy. If you decide Virat and ABD early, you might have received half the battle. Dhoni saved up the strain along with his nifty bowling modifications. CSK spinners bowled on the proper tempo for the Chennai observe and appeared like choosing a wicket each ball. On a pitch that resembled a fifth-day rank turner, Dhoni was by no means going again to his seam bowlers with the sort of spin bowling assets at his disposal.

When RCB managed to barter the pitch, Dhoni was spot on along with his evaluations, like he often is, to pile on the distress. Only Parthiv Patel confirmed some resistance with a cussed 29. He was lastly dismissed when Dhoni reintroduced a seamer into the assault, perishing to a Dwayne Bravo slower supply.

A goal of 70 was by no means going to be sufficient, particularly towards an skilled CSK batting line up. RCB confirmed some struggle as Yuzvendra Chahal began with a maiden after which dismissed Shane Watson off the primary ball of his second over.

At the opposite finish, Navdeep Saini bowled with full of life tempo, however one puzzled if Kohli was lacking a trick by not bowling Umesh Yadav, who may have attacked the stumps a bit extra. Umesh was the lone vivid spot final season for RCB and had routinely picked wickets in his opening burst. Even somebody like Colin de Grandhomme may have been a helpful possibility along with his lack of tempo on this pitch, however he was by no means tried.

Kohli’s subject placements did not encourage a lot confidence both. He may have given Chahal a number of extra catching males as soon as he was conscious that the batsmen are simply trying to play him out. Chahal bowled his 4 overs for six runs however may decide just one wicket. Even Navdeep Saini may have bowled with a brief leg or a leg slip to place that aspect of doubt in Suresh Raina’s thoughts.

Kohli could not have fancied his staff to win the sport after not placing up a aggressive whole, however he may have gone down firing by choosing a number of extra wickets and giving a lift to the staff morale. In hindsight, he have to be kicking himself for not enjoying one other specialist spinner on this observe as Dhoni did.

While RCB’s spin bowling choices have been scarce, CSK’s high order of Rayudu, Raina and Jadhav additionally confirmed a a lot better method to barter the demons within the MA Chidambaram pitch. They have been extra decisive with their footwork and affected person with their shot choice. Being conscious of the truth that they have been solely chasing a goal of 70 helped as nicely.

It’s nonetheless early days, however the Dhoni issue has already made an influence on the season. Dhoni thrives in these compressed tournaments the place groups need to swiftly put collectively staff over a brief time period. He is a grasp at making the very best use of his assets and empowering the appropriate participant to do the job for the staff.

Virat Kohli techniques on the day left so much to be desired. You by no means rely out a champion like Kohli, nevertheless it appears RCB may have provided him a break from captaincy this season given his hectic schedule main into the event and the burden of the upcoming World Cup enjoying on his thoughts. Kohli had talked about managing quick bowler’s workload this season, however even psychological fatigue for captain may damage Team India’s probabilities. It will likely be attention-grabbing to see if Kohli considers the choice of enjoying solely as a batsman later within the season.

Does Your SEO Company ‘Get’ Your Marketing Goals?

If your business has only just arrived at the promised land of internet marketing, you may find that it’s slim pickings on Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Not since the Oklahoma land rush of 1889 has there been such demand for unclaimed public real estate (albeit online real estate). But as we lose sight of vacant lots on Search Engine Results Pages, businesses and SEO companies must become more creative with their web strategy and approach to Search Engine Optimisation.

Personally, I think now is the time for your SEO company to show exactly what they are made of. For the latecomer wishing to claim their stake of top-notch search engine real estate, there is serious ground to be made up (and it’s up to their SEO company to make this happen).

The ugly truth is that small businesses with confined resources may find it difficult to achieve optimal rankings on competitive, high traffic keywords. This is especially true, where larger or more web savvy businesses have already grabbed their stake. But wait. There’s no need to despair. Or worse, return to the lull and security of traditional advertising with your marketing budget in tow. Instead engage a SEO company who understands your marketing objectives and can develop an SEO programs to suit.

I can’t stress how important it is that your digital strategy be consistent with your overarching marketing strategy. Many SEO companies tend to lose sight of this  (to the detriment of their clients). If you are servicing a niche market make sure this is replicated online. Examining the search behaviour of your target market will help you to uncover SEO opportunities that exist for your business.

Once you have identified opportunities in your online market, keyword selection will be your best friend in achieving optimal rankings on Google, Yahoo and Bing. When selecting keywords consider not only the volume of traffic but also the competition associated with specific keywords. Rather than solely targeting high traffic keywords, take a look at those keywords that offer less traffic but are more in line with your target market. These keywords will often be surrounded by less competition and you will find it easier to achieve higher rankings on Search Engine Results Pages.

Once you have selected keywords relevant to your target market you will need to ensure that these are reflected in your website content. Many SEO companies tend to write for the omnipotent and omniscient search engines, losing sight of the end user (your target market). However, search engines ultimately look at providing search results for websites that are going to provide the best outcome for the user. By including rich and relevant content, written primarily for your target audience, you will subsequently be rewarded with high rankings on Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS).

So what’s the take home message? If you are looking to engage an SEO company or digital marketing company, it is vital that they understand your overarching marketing strategy. At the end of the day Google is interested in providing the best results for the user. Write for your target audience and Google and other search engines will reward you accordingly.

Exclusive: American banker and Putin ally dealt in access and assets, emails reveal

LONDON (Reuters) - A senior American banker once secretly awarded a shareholding in powerful Moscow investment bank Renaissance Capital to one of Vladimir Putin’s closest friends and brokered meetings for the friend with top U.S. foreign policy officials a decade ago, emails show.

Robert Foresman is shown in this undated photo provided June 7, 2019. Courtesy TMK/Handout via REUTERS

The American banker, Robert Foresman, currently vice chairman at UBS investment bank in New York, held a series of prominent roles in Moscow’s financial world. He headed Dresdner Bank’s investment banking operations in Russia in the early 2000s, served as Renaissance Capital’s vice chairman from 2006 to 2009, and then led Barclays Capital’s Russia operation until 2016. Putin’s friend, Matthias Warnig, sits on the boards of several Russian state-controlled firms.

A deeply religious conservative, the blue-eyed, curly-haired U.S. banker, has said it has always been his calling to be a peacemaker between the two nuclear superpowers.

Now, a cache of Renaissance Capital emails from 2007 to 2011 reveal new details about the close relationship Foresman cultivated within Putin’s circle over the years and how he leveraged these ties to win deals. The emails, which were reviewed by Reuters, also shine a light on the part played by Western bankers in the heady days of Moscow’s 2007 economic boom, when the Kremlin was moving to take over ever greater swathes of the Russian economy.

The emails were exchanged among Renaissance Capital’s top executives and between the bank and its clients and business associates before ownership of the bank changed hands in 2012. They have figured in a long-running legal battle over the controversial takeover by the Russian state of Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s Yukos oil firm in the mid 2000s, and are reported here for the first time.

Foresman’s relationship with the Kremlin was more complicated – and more mercantile - than that of peacemaker, these emails show. They offer insight into how Foresman and his colleagues sought to help the Kremlin pull off, and profit from, its dismantlement of Yukos at a time when analysts say Moscow was seeking international legitimacy for the politically-charged process. They also show how the American banker guided Warnig around Washington foreign policy circles during the Bush and Obama administrations.

In a statement to Reuters, Foresman said he considered it inappropriate to comment on matters that may relate to proceedings before the English court - a reference to a civil lawsuit in the UK - but he refuted any suggestion of wrongdoing. Renaissance Capital’s new management declined to comment.

Foresman’s Moscow connections gained fresh attention recently when the banker was named in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. According to the report, Foresman was among the many influential people who reached out to Donald Trump when the future American leader’s campaign was building momentum.

In March 2016, Foresman emailed Trump’s assistant inviting the presidential candidate to an international business forum in St Petersburg, saying he’d had “an approach” from “senior Kremlin officials” about the candidate, according to the report. Foresman asked for a meeting with Trump, or with campaign manager Corey Lewandowski or “another relevant person,” saying he had other issues to discuss that he felt uncomfortable discussing over “unsecure email.”

In a later email, Foresman sought a meeting with one of Trump’s sons, Don Jr or Eric, to pass on information that should be “conveyed to [the candidate] personally or [to] someone [the candidate] absolutely trusts.”

The Mueller report says there wasn’t any evidence that Trump’s campaign team followed up on these approaches. When questioned by Mueller about these contacts, Foresman played down his ties to the Kremlin. He suggested he was merely seeking to “burnish his credentials” with the Trump team, the Mueller report says. No charges were made against Foresman.

Back in 2007, Foresman was part of a small group of Renaissance Capital executives involved in drawing up a secret agreement to award an unspecified stake in Renaissance Capital, the privately owned investment bank where he was vice chairman, to close Putin associate Warnig, according to a series of emails related to the deal. The shares were awarded for “nil consideration,” or without any money changing hands, the agreement showed. The emails reviewed by Reuters didn’t reveal the percentage or value of the stake.

Contacted by Reuters, Foresman and Warnig declined to discuss the transaction.

Warnig served as an officer in East Germany’s Stasi secret police at the same time as Putin was a KGB officer in Dresden in the late 1980s. Warnig has said they first met in the early 1990s in St Petersburg, when Putin was that city’s deputy mayor. Today Warnig is chief executive of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Europe. He also sits on the boards of several Russian state-controlled firms, including oil giant Rosneft. He served for 12 years on the board of Bank Rossiya, sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury as the “personal bank” for senior Russian officials.

From 2001 to 2006, Foresman worked side by side with Warnig as head of Dresdner’s investment banking arm in Moscow, while Warnig was Dresdner Bank’s president for Russia.

In the months before and after he received the Renaissance Capital stake, Warnig sought to funnel at least three Kremlin-linked deals the bank’s way, Renaissance Capital emails dated between 2007 and 2009 show.

In one instance, in 2007, Warnig helped broker crucial backing from Rosneft for a consortium that was bidding for Yukos’ Dutch assets in an auction. A spokesperson for Renaissance Capital said the entity that participated in the consortium was Renaissance Partners, a proprietary investment arm of Renaissance Group. Renaissance Capital and Renaissance Partners were under common control of Renaissance Group, but Renaissance Capital itself didn’t participate.

The consortium went on to win the auction. But the transaction became mired in lawsuits and was blocked. Yukos executives successfully argued in a Dutch court that the Russian state had no right to sell a Dutch-incorporated company. The Dutch Supreme Court ruled earlier this year the sale was illegal.

The emails were submitted as evidence as part of that case. They have also been submitted as part of a civil fraud lawsuit filed by Yukos’ former management that is due to come to trial on June 10 in the UK High Court. The suit alleges Foresman, as vice-chairman of Renaissance Capital, played a key role in paving the way for the consortium to knowingly participate in a rigged auction for the Yukos subsidiary. It alleges the foreign investors who formed the consortium stood to make enormous personal gain, and seeks tens of millions of dollars in damages.

In his statement to Reuters, Foresman said he is contesting the lawsuit vigorously.

Among the foreign bankers that joined the investor consortium with Foresman was Stephen Jennings, a tall and lanky New Zealander. Jennings founded Renaissance Capital in 1995, and the bank became a symbol of Russia’s transition to a market economy. In an interview in 2005 with the Financial Times, Jennings professed hopes that Russia’s economic growth under Putin would one day produce a middle class strong enough to counter any authoritarian turn.

Instead, the lawsuit alleges, Foresman and Jennings sought to benefit from Kremlin abuses of the market system and the rule of law. They acted, the suit claims, together with the two other main Western investors in the consortium: Stephen Lynch, a former U.S. Peace Corps volunteer, and Richard Deitz, the wiry founder of hedge fund VR Capital, which has offices in New York, London and Moscow.

Deitz and Jennings declined to comment for this article. Lynch didn’t respond to emailed questions. A person familiar with the consortium rejected any suggestion that the auction was rigged.

The auction of Yukos Finance BV, a Dutch subsidiary of Khodorkovsky’s oil company. was the last in a series of Yukos bankruptcy sales by the Kremlin. These sales were to pay off more than $33 billion in back-tax bills levied against Yukos by Moscow after Khodorkovsky posed a political challenge to the Kremlin and was jailed for fraud. The Yukos bankruptcy transformed Rosneft from a state-owned minnow to Russia’s biggest oil company after it snapped up most of the assets. The Dutch unit was a prize: It held up to $1.5 billion in cash reserves, of which up to $650 million was net of debt. It also had a 49% stake in a strategically important Slovakian pipeline operator, Transpetrol, which later sold in 2009 for $240 million.

The bankruptcy auction took place on Aug. 15, 2007. The foreign investor consortium, acting through a Russian bidding vehicle, named Promneftstroy, won the auction for less than $310 million - well below the roughly $890 million combined value of the Yukos unit’s net cash reserves and its Transpetrol stake. The consortium won after making just three bids against a rival company, Versar, which, according to Yukos, never participated in any business apart from unsuccessfully bidding in Yukos auctions. Versar ceased to exist in 2010 when it was merged into another company, Russian corporate records show.

Foresman had begun urging executives at Renaissance Capital to take part in the Yukos bankruptcy auctions earlier that year, the emails show.

In an email dated Feb. 21, 2007, Foresman wrote to three senior executives at “RC” - Renaissance Capital - pointing to the Kremlin-run Yukos asset auctions as an opportunity.

“I have reason to believe that RC, and only RC, can pull off the trade of our lives,” Foresman wrote. “We could pull off something that makes us huge profit, makes top global investors very happy, materially mitigates Rosneft’s litigation risk. And allows the Kremlin to show that the auction of Y assets is not rigged but rather is competitive.” Rosneft’s success in the auctions had raised the possibility of a legal challenge and the Kremlin was under international scrutiny over the process.

A memo drawn up by Renaissance Capital the day before the auction named the deal “Project Surplus” and said it could net the consortium a profit of up to $340 million. The memo, seen by Reuters, indicated the Western bankers believed the auction would go in their favor.

“The opportunity to participate and be the likely winner has largely arisen due to very close relationships that certain Renaissance individuals enjoy with the Kremlin,” the memo said. The Kremlin declined to comment.

The U.S. government was watching proceedings closely because of the strategic importance of the pipeline network Transpetrol operated. Foresman told an unidentified U.S. embassy official in Moscow in October that year that the consortium “had not been acting as a proxy for Rosneft” in the auction and said there was no prearranged deal with Rosneft over the Transpetrol stake, according to a diplomatic cable about the conversation later leaked by Wikileaks. Foresman didn’t dispute the contents of the cable in a deposition for the UK civil lawsuit.

But documents in the email cache and depositions of consortium members indicate that Rosneft was closely involved with the consortium in the deal. Foresman described in his deposition in November 2018 how Warnig channeled the consortium’s proposal for participating in the auction to the top of Rosneft.

In the hours before the sale of the Yukos unit, the consortium reached two legal agreements with Rosneft.

In the first of those agreements, reviewed by Reuters and dated Aug. 15, 2007, Rosneft agreed to lift any legal claims the Russian oil giant had against the Dutch firm’s assets.

In the second, also reviewed by Reuters and dated Aug. 15, 2007, the state oil champion agreed to delay repayment of a $60 million loan it had extended to Promneftstroy, the bidding vehicle, until the consortium arranged to sell Yukos’s Slovak pipeline to a company nominated by Rosneft. A month later, the consortium agreed to sell the pipeline stake to a Cyprus-registered firm for $105 million - less than half the price it fetched two years later. An email chain leading up to the sale agreement indicates the buyer was designated by Rosneft.

In the hours after the auction, another investor in the consortium, Benjamin Heller, then a managing director at U.S. fund HBK Investments, wrote to an associate saying: “Rosneft basically controlled the auction and decided it would clear at a certain price.” Heller, who isn’t named as a defendant in the lawsuit, declined to comment. Rosneft didn’t respond to Reuters’ questions about the auction. At the time of the sale, the state oil giant denied any involvement in it.

The person familiar with the consortium said there were mistakes in Heller’s email. “Rosneft didn’t set the price, and there were two bidders,” said this person. “The whole premise that Rosneft controlled the consortium, controlled the price and controlled the auction is not correct.”

He added that at the time of the auction the consortium didn’t have access to data valuing the Transpetrol stake above $103 million - a sale price that had been discussed a year earlier. He said the consortium had reached out to both sides of the Yukos divide, agreeing to pay back outstanding loans to Yukos’ former owner.

Two months later, in late 2007, the consortium’s hopes of making profits began to unravel when an Amsterdam court ruled that the auction violated Dutch law, and therefore the consortium owners didn’t have title to any of the assets of Yukos Finance BV.

In emails dated Oct. 11, 2007, a few months after the consortium won the auction, Foresman and his colleagues at Renaissance Capital began discussing the drafting of a secret “phantom share agreement” for an unnamed “prospective new shareholder.” Phantom share deals are a common arrangement under which a company promises the holder a future cash payment that is tied to the value of a notional share of stock. Among the executives discussing the award of these shares was the bank’s founder, Jennings, who was the main owner at the time. He declined to comment about the transaction.

An agreement identifying Warnig as the recipient of “40,034 phantom shares” in Renaissance Capital’s parent company, Renaissance Holdings Management Limited, was drawn up by the investment bank’s legal counsel and sent to Foresman in an email dated Nov. 27, 2007.

An additional consultancy agreement drawn up by the legal counsel and sent to Foresman on Dec. 17, 2007, provided for paying $700,000 to an unnamed recipient for advice on “certain investment banking transactions and business development opportunities.” In his November 2018 deposition for the UK civil suit, Foresman said Renaissance Capital paid consultancy fees to Warnig. He didn’t specify the amount.

Foresman and the other Renaissance Capital executives sought to keep these arrangements secret, the emails show. When a RenCap employee mistakenly sent a message to Warnig’s official company email address in 2007 about the shareholding, Foresman fired off an angry reply to three senior Renaissance Capital executives. “This is clearly unacceptable and I cannot believe this could happen,” he said in the message, dated Dec.18, 2007. He said Warnig had immediately destroyed the message.

In a later email to the same colleagues, dated Feb. 12, 2008, Foresman stressed how Warnig had insisted the agreements remain absolutely confidential: They were to be known only by the executives at Renaissance who drew up the agreements. The email says: “Our man has signed his phantom share agreement, in his name, and also the consultancy agreement in the name of a legal entity.” It went on, “He stressed the absolute confidentiality of this.”

Warnig’s relationships with Foresman and Renaissance Capital’s founder and chairman, Jennings, were cemented over dinners and “banya” steam-bath sessions in Moscow, the emails show. And Foresman helped open doors for Warnig with U.S. ambassadors to Russia and U.S. government officials in Washington during the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Slideshow (6 Images)

The email cache shows, for instance, that Foresman helped set up meetings in 2009, early in Obama’s presidency, for Warnig with the U.S. government’s then national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia, Fiona Hill, as well as with Mary Warlick, then the acting deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia. He also brokered meetings for Warnig with officials in the Department of Energy and separately in Houston with Ross Perot Jr, the U.S. billionaire. Perot declined to comment for this article. Hill and Warlick didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The emails reviewed by Reuters didn’t reveal what came of the meetings.

After one such visit in March 2009, Foresman indicated these meetings were to become a back channel for Putin into Washington. In one email, he wrote, “my friend briefed his Big friend on the meetings” – an apparent reference to Warnig speaking with Putin. “That person was extremely satisfied with the messages that were received and absolutely committed to improving things. He asks for a repeat performance in Q2 for which he will have my friend deliver specific messages,” Foresman wrote.

Ukraine's Loznitsa Wins Cannes 'Un Certain Regard' Prize For Best Director

Ukrainian Director Serhiy Loznitsa at the Cannes film festival.

Ukrainian film director Serhiy Loznitsa has won a best director prize in the Cannes film festival's Un Certain Regard competition for Donbass, his odyssey about the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

The Un Certain Regard awards, which were announced on May 18, go to more edgy films and up-and-coming directors than those awarded in the Palme d'Or prizes in Cannes' main film competition.

The Un Certain Regard prizes were awarded a day ahead of the main awards ceremony, which is due to take place on May 19.

Loznitsa's hard-hitting film Donbass depicts the brutal conflict since 2014 between government forces and Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine in a "post-truth" world dominated by fake news.

The film portrays the region as declining into a gangland-style war at a time when Russia is seeking to reassert itself in the world some 18 years after the Soviet Union collapsed.

Loznitsa, whose previous film A Gentle Creature competed in the Cannes festival last year, told the AFP news agency in an interview last week that he felt compelled to make the film because of "the world crumbling around him."

"My main concern and my main subject is the particular type of human being, which is produced by a society, where aggression, decay, and disintegration rule," he said.

"The information war waged by [President Vladimir] Putin's Russia uses all of the most efficient and modern technical means available to influence attitudes around the world, to hammer home one truth as the truth," he told AFP.

Loznitsa is viewed as a national treasure in Ukraine after making some two dozen documentaries and films that have brought him international renown.

His documentary Maidan about Kyiv's pro-Western street revolution premiered at a special Cannes screening in 2014.

One Man Show

“In Search of ….. Richard Snyder” is a One Man Show of a set of 9 monologs performed May 21st , 2011 for 160 people in Seattle, WA.

It was inspired by the 1970’s TV series, “In Search of…” in which Leonard Nimoy searched for UFO’s or the Yeti. I was searching for the equally elusive me at the age of 50. I teamed up with Director, and Theatre Coach Christine McHugh to write and rehearse the show over a 12-month period. It is a personal memoir starting with awkward childhood in 1960’s Longmeadow, MA; progressing through college, medical school and career; marriage and divorce, the incomprehensible Judaism of childhood versus the miracles of adult eclectic spirituality, the painful search for my soulmate, and arriving at a radiant vision of life after 50.

Party time

We attended a birthday party this evening. We have a passel of nieces and nephews. And, all of our nieces and nephews have young'uns. My nephew James and his wife Andrea have a litter of kids – five in all. All the way from 9 months to 16 years.

When they had the baby last year, I asked them if they know what causes them to have children. They both seemed baffled.

The birthday party today was a pool party at the country club. I'm not a member, but one of my nephews is and they invited us.

Jilda and I sat under the covered patio. It was toasty, but the ceiling fans made it bearable. The kids had a blast.

I snapped pictures. This is a small part of the crew. Jilda will post some others.

The kids are growing so fast.

  1. You should have spent some time in the pool on such a hot day. I'm sure someone could have taken care of the camera for you for a little while.
    Hugs, Julia

  2. Great family photos....I don't know that I would have been able to keep out of the water, it looks so refreshing!

To obtain a driver’s permit, driver’s license, or to register a vehicle, go to a Motor Vehicle Station located at Bakers Basin on Route 1 Northbound in Lawrenceville, just before the Quakerbridge Mall. No appointment is necessary but the Department of Motor Vehicles agencies are usually very busy, so be prepared to wait.

  • Office Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
  • Address: 3200 Brunswick Pike, Lawrenceville NJ
  • Telephone: 1.888.486.3339

  • Passport
  • Visa
  • I-94
  • I-20 or DS 2019
  • Proof of address (copy of bank statement or utility bill)
  • Proof of automobile insurance

For a permit, you will have to take a written examination consists of 30 questions, of which you must answer correctly at least 24. It is a computer-format exam and it only takes 15 minutes. If you happen to fail the written exam, you can retake it after 7 days. In order to prepare for this exam, you must read very carefully a free brochure available in all Division of Motor Vehicle offices. There is a fee of $10.00. Once you pass a written test and a vision test, you get your permit and can begin supervised practice driving.

Once you have completed your practice training, you will take a vision test and a road test. When you have passed, you will be issued a regular New Jersey driver’s license. New Jersey issues a four-year photo license. There is a fee of $24.00.

If you already have a driver's license in your country, you may be exempted from the road-test only if you bring with you both your original license and your international license.

If you purchase a car, take with you the documents listed above. You will be required by law to pay to register the vehicle, pay New Jersey sales tax, and to purchase at least liability insurance coverage. Adding collision and comprehensive coverage will increase the cost. There are many different insurance companies, so compare rates and types of coverage carefully before making a choice. Be aware that all cars must pass the NJ inspection. If the car does not pass inspection, the owner must pay for repair until the car can pass inspection.
