The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has awarded more than $37 million to an individual for reporting information about a bribery scheme at a large European healthcare company. The sum is the highest award paid out to a single whistleblower so far this calendar year and one of the top 10 largest awards ever paid out by the SEC’s whistleblower program to an individual, according to the SEC. The SEC has given out more than $1.3 billion of awards since the beginning of its whistleblower program, which was created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, according to the report. But lawyers representing the whistleblower said the award was connected to a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act settlement reached by a publicly traded European healthcare company with the SEC and the Justice Department. “The SEC whistleblower program has hit its stride and is generating high-quality disclosures that supercharge enforcement of the securities law and protect investors,” he said.

Expert advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration met virtually on Tuesday to discuss improvements in standards for pulse oximeters. Imarc Group market research firm forecast the global pulse oximeter market reaching $3.25 billion by 2027. Pulse oximeter problems "suddenly became enormous" during the pandemic, said Dr. Philip Bickler, director of the University of California, San Francisco's (UCSF) Hypoxia Research & Pulse Oximeter Test Facility. Current rules require that pulse oximeters be tested in a minimum of just 10 subjects, only two of whom must be "darkly-pigmented." While the devices are still useful, UCSF's Bickler said, doctors "should not base patient care only on pulse oximeter findings."

☆ ‘Madly, Deeply’ Review: The Cul-de-Sac of Stardom

Performance heightens the impression of individuality, but when actors are offstage, they show little variation of character, and less depth. English actors notoriously devolve into the genus known as “luvvies,” for their insistent exploitation of the word that they know everyone wants to hear. Alan Rickman, who died of cancer in 2016, was one of the leading luvvies of his generation. His biography is typical of British male stars, a two-act drama that begins in theater and ends in the movies. Act II is payback: the movies.

O poveste romantică, nebunatică, în care două spirite rătăcite se află pe sine și își acceptă limitele. E o poveste ușoară, pe alocuri zburătoare, îndesată cu glume de tot soiul. O rezolvare modestă, un sfârșit previzibil și o atmosferă plăcută. Deși lasă de dorit, totuși e un film autentic, care merită atenție, îți trezește emoții și îți dă de gândit. O poveste în care vinul orbește asemenea unei comori blestemate și ademenește spre o cale greșită.
