A Kurdish woman from northern Iraq Maryam Nuri Mohamed Amin has become the first victim of this tragedy to be named. “Her story is the same as everyone else – she was looking for a better life," said one of her relatives for the Guardian.

Former public company director, Andrew Geddes, is hopeful the recent $3-million capital-raise by the women’s ride-sharing company, Shebah, will encourage more female-owned companies to begin using Crowd Sourced Funding Equity Raising for their growth capital. Mr Geddes, the former Chair of Greencross Limited, believes Crowd Sourced Funding is likely to become the preferred way for the small and medium sized business sector to raise capital in the near future. He claims the traditional alternatives of bank loans and angel investors often place stringent obligations on the company, its directors and loan guarantors that limit the potential for growth....   READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

Former Greencross Limited Chairman, Andrew Geddes, believes the new capital-raising process, Crowd Sourced Funding Equity Raising, could be a real wake-up call for small and medium sized companies to expand. “Raising capital places as lot of pressure on businesses to justify that they’re worth lending to” said Mr Geddes, a highly experienced public company director. “To raise capital, SMEs have to go through all the disciplines of getting their ‘house in order’ before investors will even consider supporting them, and in many ways, that’s a good thing” he said.  Mr Geddes says the preparation required for any form of loan or capital raising forces companies to take a very serious look at their structure and operations...     READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE

Sally Sheard (Liverpool): Learning from history: NHS plans For the first 26 years, the NHS was left to run without major reform or reorganisation. Although planning emerged as a concern in the 1960s, linked to desires to increase effectiveness and efficiency, it wasn't until the 1980s, and the introduction of general management, that there was the political will or technical capacity to construct detailed, long-term plans. This paper considers the introduction of NHS plans as key political 'sticks' (rather than 'carrots') to improve performance, and discusses the impact of the increasing tension between planning and the service's ability to meet targets, such as waiting times and 'quality' of care. Sally Sheard is the Andrew Geddes and John Rankin Professor of Modern History at the University of Liverpool, with a primary research interest in the interface between expert advisers and policymakers. She currently leads a five-year Wellcome Trust funded project; The Governance of Health: Medical, Economic and Managerial Expertise in Britain since 1948. Her latest book is The Passionate Economist: how Brian Abel-Smith shaped global health and social welfare (Policy Press, 2013). She has also written on the history of hospitals, the finance of British medicine and the development of the NHS. Sally has extensive experience of using history in public and policy engagement and has worked with local health authorities and government organisations. She also has written for and presented television and radio programmes, including the 2018 BBC Radio 4 series National Health Stories.
