DOJ to charge Wash Sycip son, Jonathan Dee for refusing to open Alliance Select's books
MANILA — The Department of Justice (DoJ) has indicted George Sycip, son of the late tycoon Washington Sycip, and four officials of a tuna processing company for violation of the Corporation Code of the Philippines for their continued refusal to allow some shareholders to examine corporation?s books and other records.
In a four-page review resolution approved by Acting Prosecutor General Jorge Catalan, the DOJ found Sycip and his co-respondents,Alliance Select Foods International, Inc. (Alliance) president Jonathan Dee and other executives of the company including Marie Grace Vera Cruz, Antonio Pacis and Raymon K.H. See, guilty of violating Sections 74 and 75 in relation to Section 144 of the Corporation Code.
Section 74 of the Corporation Code provides that ?the records of all business transactions of the corporation and the minutes of any meetings shall be open to inspection by any director, trustee, stockholder or member of the corporation,? and that refusal to allow the records to be examined will be liable for damages and is punishable.
Section 144, on the other hand, states that violators of the code shall be punished by a fine of not less than P1,000 but not more than P10,000 or imprisonment of not less than 30 days but not more than five years. Section 75, meanwhile, underscores the right of any stockholder or member of his right to financial statements.
The DOJ reversed the earlier resolution issued by Prosecution Attorney Loverhette Jeffrey Villordon dismissing the complaint filed by minority shareholders of Alliance led by Hedy Yap-Chua, a Singaporean investor of the company, against Sycip and several others.
The DOJ noted that the Access Rules being imposed by Alliance was one of several barriers ito deprive complainants Yap-Chua and the minority shareholders their right to examine the corporation?s records and minutes.
The justice department noted that the series of events from the time that complainant Yap-Chua wrote a notice of inspection on Oct. 2, 2014 up to Nov. 7, 2014 when the shareholders representatives were not allowed to inspect the requested documents is tantamount to a refusal as embodied in the second element for violation of Section 74, in relation to Section 144 of the Corporation Code.
?The above series of events and eventually the Access Rules and Confidentiality Undertaking which were repeatedly imposed as conditions in preventing the complainant and the shareholders in inspecting the corporate records, lead us to believe that the respondents refuse to accede to the right of the complainant to inspect the corporate records. Such refusal, therefore satisfied the second element of the crime,? the DOJ resolution stated dated March 20, 2018.
The majority shareholders of Alliance, led by Dee and Sycip as its chairman, including its minority stockholders which consist of Singaporean investors, have been caught in a dispute for the last several years.
The conflict stemmed from the alleged questionable acquisition of Strong Oak Inc. of Alliance?s 430 million shares worth P563.675 million.
The sale has resulted in the dilution of the Singaporeans' shares from 34 percent to 24 percent.
The Singaporean investors, led by Yap-Chua, have insisted opening the books of Alliance but the majority continued to refuse.
The foreign investors wanted to know the truth behind the deal of Alliance and Strong Oak which they accuse of being a questionable company.
Villordon found no probable cause to indict Sycip and his co-respondents. It held that Villordon erred in holding that the complainants failed to show proof that the respondents refused to allow them to examine the corporation?s records and minutes.
Villardon said the complainants were actually the ones who refused to abide by their agreement with the Alliance on the ?Access Rules? in conducting the inspection.

i'm usually very good about keeping current, mainly because it's a reason to fly! my regular safety pilot and i made plans to go up tonight and while working out the logistics i realized that my night currency had lapsed. according to the CFR 14 part 61.57.b you need to make 3 takeoffs and landings to a full stop one hour after sunset in order to carry passengers at night. while technically he's also PIC (Pilot In Command) while i'm wearing those awful foggles, he's still a passenger when they're off. there's a grace period where if you're not current that you can carry passengers up to no later than one hour after sunset (and after one hour before sunrise.) Since sunset tonight was at 7:50pm, we would have to be on the ground by 8:50.
the purpose of the flight was to keep my instrument rating current (CFR 14 61.57.c.) my safety pilot doesn't have his instrument rating, but he is current (CFR 14 part 91.109.2.b) in both pilot certificate as well as category and class ratings for the airplane we'd be flying in (P28A - a Piper Warrior.) since he's VFR only, we'd have to conduct the flight as such, but I'm still allowed to file IFR, which makes things a lot smoother for us and for ATC (except for maybe that 10 minute wait for release into the system, i.e. waiting for clearance to actually take off into Boston's airspace.
so i got the weather and filed IFR from KBED to KBED with the routing as KLWM KBVY, and the remark of practice approaches. we took off, and had a great flight - ILS5@KLWM (good) held as published at LWM, LOC16@KBVY, not my best, touch and go and the vectors back to the ILS11@KBED. the last approach was a minor challenge as i was told to keep "max forward speed as is practical" because there was a falcon jet (little business class jet) 10 miles behind us inbound.
my safety pilot got a taste of what an instrument flight (more like an instrument lesson as we just shot approaches) will be like when he finally amasses the money to start on his own instrument ticket. ok, I have about 4 and a half more months to make at least 3 more approaches to satisfy the 6 approaches in 6 months (yes, and holding and tracking a radial...)
here's the flightaware plot:
Hopefully helpful writings of a career minded pilot, working through the ratings in a Part 61 school while still managing to eat and find time to sleep and work.

59% of US Voters Disagree With Obama On Iran
** Americans want preconditions to be met before meeting with Iran.
Far Left Democrat Barack Obama does not want preconditions.
And, he even talks about it on his website:
Click to Enlarge
Here is what the Obama website says about meeting with Iran:
Diplomacy: Obama is the only major candidate who supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions.
59% of voters disagree with Obama.
They want Iran to give up their nuke program first.
Condoleezza Rice told AIPAC yesterday that there was no point in engaging Iran until it changed its behavior.
IHT.com reported:
She drew repeated applause for tough language on Iran, the rising Mideast power that Israeli leaders consider their greatest enemy. Iran's hardline president regularly says Israel must be wiped off the map. On Tuesday he told a European audience that Israel is "doomed to go."
Rice scoffed at Iran's claim that its nuclear program is intended only to produce electricity. Why then would Iran keep inspectors away from some sites, reject a generous offer of civilian nuclear help from Russia or maintain part of its program under military control, Rice asked.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's just hard to imagine that there are innocent answers to these questions."
Later, she directly accused Iran of pursuing weapons on the sly. She said there is no point in engaging the regime until it changes its behavior.

Mordechai Zvi Tuvia Ben Chana Edel needs prayers.
Miraculously nobody was hurt: A number of years ago, a wedding hall floor collapse causing a chain reaction and many were killed. This time a ceiling collapsed. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/230782
Parsha Behaalosecha
Our Parsha is still around the time frame of the setting up of the Mishkan and the flesh pots incident is repeated here in more details.8:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2 'Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him: When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the candlestick.' 3 And Aaron did so: he lighted the lamps thereof so as to give light in front of the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
This was said or done on the first day of the dedication of the Mishkan. The Menorah was lit. The light on the Menorah would most likely go out for traveling but at Shilo and the Mikdash in Yerushalayim, the flame never went out. The Chabad translation says facing the Menorah.
Aaron did so: This shows Aaron's virtue that he did not deviate [from God's command]. — [Sifrei Beha'alothecha 1:5]
… 6 'Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. 7 And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of purification upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves. 8 Then let them take a young bullock, and its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering. 9 And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting; and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel. …12 And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks; and offer thou the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, unto the LORD, to make atonement for the Levites. 13 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering unto the LORD.
Like the Korban Pessach where the head of each house laid his hands on the sacrifice or all the participants on their Korban. So here the Leviim are laying their hands. The Hebrew has Parim or Bulls so there were many.
14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of
Israel; and the Levites shall be Mine. … 16 For they are wholly given unto Me from among the children of Israel; instead of all that opens the womb, even the first-born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto Me.
There were no Leviim that participated in the Egel HaZahav (golden calf) but there wereee some first born and so the first born lost their rights.
… 23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 24 'This is that which pertains unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to perform the service in the work of the tent of meeting; 25 and from the age of fifty years they shall return from the service of the work, and shall serve no more; 26 but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, but they shall do no manner of service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.'
The silver and gold items are malleable and if the men transporting them are not strong they are in danger of dropping them. Gold or AU on the periodic table is a heavy element and close to 197 atomic weight lead or PB is 200 and the saying goes it feels as heavy as lead. Silver AG is 107 and about in the middle of the atomic table but it is much heavier than iron or aluminum. So the Leviim who handled the boards which last year or the year before were calculated as very heavy based on the density of Acadia Wood.
In its appointed time: Even [if it were to fall] on Sabbath; "in its appointed time" [also implies,] even [if the majority of the people were] in a state of ritual uncleanness. — [Sifrei Beha'alothecha 1:14, 15]
3 In the fourteenth day of this month, at dusk, ye shall keep it in its appointed season; according to all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it.' 4 And Moses spoke unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.
This was said on the day that the Mishkan was dedicated.
9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 10 'Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the Passover unto the LORD; 11 in the second month on the fourteenth day at dusk they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs; 12 they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof; according to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
This is Pessach Sheni and to be observed throughout all generations. Nowadays it is ceremonial but when the Mikdash will be rebuilt it will be a very important day for hundreds perhaps thousands.
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony; and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning. 16 So it was always: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed; and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped. 18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped. … 21 And sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed; or if it continued by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
There were only a limited number of journeys in the 38 years in the desert almost half were in the first months and the last year. The nation did this according to the will of HASHEM and it was not haphazard.
10:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2 'Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them; and they shall be unto thee for the calling of the congregation, and for causing the camps to set forward.
Make yourself: So they should blow before you like a king, as it says, "There was a king among in Jerushun" [Deut. 33:5]. ...To summon the congregation: When you wish to speak with the members of the Sanhedrin court and the rest of the people, and you summon them to gather before you, convene them with the trumpets. And to announce the departure of the camps: At the time the camps are due to depart, blow on them as a signal. It follows that they traveled at the behest of three-at God's bidding, by the word of Moses and by the call of the trumpets.
3 And when they shall blow with them, all the congregation shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting. 4 And if they blow but with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. 5 And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.
The Trumpets were shriller and louder than the Shofar so that they would signal the movement of the camp. First Machane Yehuda followed by Machane Reuven.
6 And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall set forward; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. 7 But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
They shall be blown and not in the way of an alarm. Just as today we have an air raid or ground attack siren but more like an all clear or straight blast.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
The descendants of Aaron…shall blow: For these summons and journeys. Also for battle! It appears that it was used as a general signal perhaps with different blasts like a long one short bursts and combinations. For we see this with the Shofar.
9 And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresses you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. 10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed seasons, and in your new moons, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.'
I assume that in the future on the declaration of the new moon from the Sanhedrin that a special button with a key and code will be used to sound loud speakers or a siren for prayers and signaling Yomim Tovim. (Recommended that the reader see Meseches Rosh Hashanah and the camp fire signals they used then.)
11 And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony. 12 And the children of Israel set forward by their stages out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran.
This was five days after Pessach Sheni. This was the first movement of the nation since the receipt of Torah and the first movement since the Mishkan was erected. Many are not sure what is Mt. Sinai but there is an Arab Tradition that the current spot is on Mt. Moshe or in Arabic JABBEL MUSA. The Paran desert nowadays is just before the Zin desert and that would be close to the modern Israel-Egypt border.
… 35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said: 'Rise up, O LORD, and let Thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee.' 36 And when it rested, he said: 'Return, O LORD, unto the ten thousands of the families of Israel.'
This passage with the inverted Nun in front and back like our brackets after the first travel as a Torah Nation. Rabbi Mimran reminded me that this is for the separation of the first half of the Sedra from the second which as two bad occurrences. There are those who claim this should be a separate book making Bamidbar into three books instead of one. I say from my gut Neshama that neither this nor that but rather the whole section which I cut out this year on who did what when they moved has this continuation. Then they sang or said this in unison as they started moving. Similar to the opening of the Ark in Schul for the Torah reading. Only the second half we do not say when we return the Torah and since I am not a historian I do not know why the second half is not said unless it is because we assemble in small numbers and not like the Cohain Blessings on Chol HaMoed where there are tens of thousands.
Personal Story from 46 years ago. I was in Israel about 5 months. I was working at a minimum wage in a factory quality control system. I complained to Avraham that I came from a wealthy country that on a small salary above the minimum wage, I could make ends me pay the rent, buy books and other things and save $10 a week. In Israel, I could not do this. I had nothing for clothing, things for the baby which was on the way or really anything.
One of the shift supervisors was named Avraham. He spoke English. His father had brought the family from Germany to Israel in 1936. Things were bad and the father barely had enough to feed his wife and child(ren) the father had to steal oranges from Kibbutz trees. [I am uncertain if this was really stealing as the Torah requires gleaming for the poor.] Avraham took me to task and rightfully so when he brought down this story. I was even more embarrassed for a man without a Yarmulke had bettered me and rebuked me. Yes, he was right. Somehow, I managed to stay on in Israel for a while until I found real employment.
… 16 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Gather unto Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee. 17 And I will come down and speak with thee there; and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
HASHEM creates the Sanhedrin.
… 32 And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails; he that gathered least gathered ten heaps; and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 33 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
Those who were so hungry and animalistic did not cook the food enough and they died of poison created by the bird's muscles which dissipates over a short time.
34 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted. 35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
The people waited for she waited for Moshe in the bulrushes. This is measure for measure Mida Knegged Mida and HaKaras HaTov.
Tailor of Nobility: By Rabbi Yerachmiel Tilles:
One of the famed barons in Poland planned to throw an extravagant party for his friends in the Polish aristocracy.
In honor of the event he had his palace refurbished, planted new trees and flowers in the surrounding gardens and hired master chefs to prepare all the luxurious foods that he intended to serve. He employed many servants in various occupations in order to ensure that his party be remembered for a long time afterwards by the large number of people he had invited.
The baron wished to wear an extraordinarily impressive outfit, designed especially for the occasion. He ordered his servants to find an expert tailor for him, somebody who know how to tailor magnificent clothes. When his servants returned to the baron, they brought with him a tailor who according to the testimony of witnesses was a great specialist in this profession.
When the tailor was introduced, the baron scowled. The face of the man standing in front of him and the way he was dressed clearly showed that he was a Jew. The baron was not fond of Jews, to say the least, but since there was not much time left until the big party, he had no other choice but to employ the Jewish tailor.
The baron asked him: "Zhid: I have heard that you are a master tailor, and there is nobody to match your craftsmanship in the whole area. Are you willing to take upon yourself the important task of creating a magnificent outfit for me?"
"Certainly, your honor", said the tailor. "I am an expert in this field and I have already made outfits for this duke and that baron," and he started to enumerate names of Polish aristocrats.
The baron accepted him as his personal tailor.
Already that same day the tailor began to take the baron's measurement. He wrote down all the measurements in his ledger in an orderly fashion, instructed the baron's servants on where to purchase the fabric needed for the different parts of the outfit and he immediately began working.
The tailor labored diligently and with great self-confidence. After all, he was a master tailor and he knew how to fashion such outfits in the most impressive manner. When he finished his work, he proudly brought the finished product to the baron.
However, when the baron tried the outfit on, it did not fit him at all! One sleeve was too short, and the other was too long, the seams were not straight and the entire garment looked very odd. The baron was so furious that it seemed he wanted to kill the Jewish tailor.
The poor tailor had to run away. He was very afraid of the wrath of the baron and what he might do to him as a revenge for the ruined outfit. If the new clothes were not ready in time for the party, the tailor might pay the ultimate price…
In his plight he went to the holy Rebbe Elimelech of Lizensk in order to ask for his blessing and advice. The Rebbe listed attentively to his tearful plea, smiled briefly, and responded.
"This is what you should do. Go back to the baron's estate. Take the clothes and undo all the stiches. Do not leave even one stitch undone. Afterwards you must sew everything back exactly in the same order as before."
The tailor returned to the baron's mansion and followed the instructions of the Rebbe to the last detail. He undid all the stitches, took new threads and joined the different parts together.
He told the baron's servant that he wanted the baron to try on the outfit once again. Lo and behold! This time the outfit was a perfect fit! The baron was so happy that he almost allowed himself to embrace the tailor! Of course, he richly awarded him.
The tailor could not understand what had happened. He knew very well that he had made no alterations in the outfit but had just sewn everything exactly as he had done the first time.
He went to Rebbe Elimelech and asked him for an explanation.
The Rebbe told him: "When you started your work, you were haughty and considered yourself to be a master tailor in your own merit. You forgot all your talents are given to you from G-d. When you undid all the stitches and remade the outfit, you knew that if it was to succeed, it was not because of your skill but only due to the divine kindness of the Master of the Universe. In the merit of this acknowledgment you were able to have success in your work!"

Biographical note:
Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk [of blessed memory: 5477 - 21 Adar 5547 (1717 - March 1787 C.E.)], was a leading disciple of the Maggid of Mezritch, successor to the Baal Shem Tov, and the leading Rebbe of the subsequent generation in Poland-Gallitzia. Most of the great Chassidic dynasties in that area stem from his disciples. His book, Noam Elimelech, is one of the most popular of all Chassidic works.

Often I mention on a Conversion site about the difference between an Orthodox vs. a Conservative Jewish Standpoint and burial in Israel: As for burial, I will tell you the difference. A friend and colleague of mine passed away and was buried in a non-religious Kibbutz. The body was brought there, placed in the earth and covered. A religious ceremony asks for mercy to forgive sins of the deceased, a few words from a Rabbi, usually traveling from Synagogue to Synagogue where the man prayed and Yeshiva or Kollel if he learned and then to the grave site, where again forgiveness is asked, the family says a special and regular Kaddish. Stones/pebbles are placed on the grave by friends and visitors as they depart the area and two rows are set up to comfort the mourners as they pass by and ranks are closed. 7 days does one mourn unless there is a Yom Tov in between. The Neshama of the non-religious person is lost in the next world. The religious person gets extra merits from the prayers at the burial. This is a short explanation.

"I do not believe you can do today's job with yesterday's methods and be in business tomorrow," Nelson Jackson, automobile pioneer
The availability of large volumes of data is changing the way organizations look at most of their business processes and functions. In the context of internal audit (IA) also, new ways are coming up to utilize the power of analytics. To stay competent and ahead of the curve, the organizations should ask themselves the following questions — Is their organization still relying on traditional methods for its IA process? Does their IA methodology incorporate analytics? If yes, to what extent?
Advantages of using analytics over the traditional approach for IA
- Analytics enables repeatability of standard tests across processes such as procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, HR and payroll, travel and expense etc., which reduces the overall IA effort by 20%–25%.
- The traditional approach uses random sample testing to identify data discrepancies. However, an analytics-driven approach provides organizations 100% coverage of their data set, thereby identifying all potential exceptions/outliers and providing higher confidence.
- Analytics provides an organization the ability to quantify the actual impact of exceptions rather than extrapolation based on sample testing.
- Analytics enables continuous auditing of critical internal controls leading to an early detection of the problem and hence, devising early solutions.
Evolving role of analytics-led IA: from compliance to strategic and value-advisor
The use of analytics by internal auditors extends beyond the ability to develop continuous audit scripts. In fact, auditors can leverage advanced analytics tools and techniques to expand audit coverage.
Here are some examples/ use cases for advanced analytics in IA across its life cycle:
- Risk Assessment: Improving risk assessment process is one of the top priorities for IA Functions today. But how do we do this? How do we enhance the ability to monitor emerging risks?
There are several examples showing how IA Functions can do this using analytics. In an audit where the objective is to test internal controls over financial reporting, analytics enables identification of risky transactions and potential risky accounts based on certain parameters and weights defined for critical indicators. By doing this, auditors can develop a risk based audit plan for testing these accounts and transactions in detail, along with the controls over such activities.
Another example is to use fuzzy logic to test for conflict of interest between employee and vendor masters or employee and customer masters. Parameters such as name, address, phone number, bank account number, PAN can be tested for 100% match as well as a similarity of 80% or 90% can also be set to identify similar matching records.
- Audit Execution: Organizations can use analytics to test the statistical significance of an audit finding and the root cause of the issue. For instance, high attrition rate is a common issue noted in many organizations. Using advanced analytics such as regression, the IA Function can identify the various factors that impact attrition such as gender, work location, home location, education qualification, reporting manager, division etc. Identifying the root cause of the issue provides more value add to the management and helps in re-hashing the recruitment/ retention policy of the organization, thereby the IA Function is seen as a strategic advisor to the management than just a compliance officer.
Analytics can be used to identify patters and trends in the transaction data and identify anomalies and outliers. For instance, while reviewing the logistics transactions vis-a-vis their contracted rates, a distribution of the transactions across their weight buckets could show concentration of transactions in a particular weight bucket which provides maximum billing rate for the service provider. This could help Auditors identify potential manual interventions in invoicing by the service providers and identify recovery opportunities for the management (including instances such as duplicate payments, over payments etc.).
- Communication and reporting: Many a times, auditors are asked to make a judgment on various business situations. In the organizational set ups, different C-suite executives have different opinions on what is working well and what is not working well for the organization, based on their experience and functional roles. For example, consider a situation where the CEO of an organization makes a statement that the company was unable to achieve its target due to lack of resources at the right time. Therefore, it puts the onus on the HR department that it has not functioned at its expected service levels. Such scenarios can be tested using advanced analytics and enable the management in taking corrective actions.
With the evolving skillset through analytics, the role of IA is shifting from value preservation to value creation. Is your organization there yet?

And there was more....
I ended up with 5.25 meters of the real Batiks for $1.99 a piece. Yes, just two dollars a piece! Believe me it was a "Start the car" moment. (see IKEA Start The Car ad here)
I also worked with Orange this past week on my OMG for October.
From this audition ....
to this top.
Talking about other project, here's one that use little snippets.
Not the kind of quilt I can do in a month but whenever I get little pieces I sew them together. Eventually it will get done. I get a lot of little snippets from the 365 Challenge blocks but I try not to sew all the blues and browns together. They are fun to sew as anything goes and you don't have to be accurate about it. To make these blocks, the little pieces are trimmed to 2.5 X 4.5 then sewn to a white piece of the same size. I cut 5" squares for the HSTs, sew them with a white piece and trim them down to 4.5 ". The block in the center is also 4.5". Easy, right?
And that's all I've got ... for now.

SO, Jin Kwang, the president of Korea Saemaul Undong Center, had a meeting with Bornito de Sousa Baltazat Diogo, the Minister for Ministry of Territorial Administration in Angola, and his fellow-workers on last 23th.
Bornito de Sousa Baltazat Diogo, the Minister for Ministry of Territorial Administration in Angola, said, "I have long been interested in Korean economic development experience through Saemaul Undong. Angolan villagers live in very extensive areas. Under this condition, I wonder how can we implement Saemaul Undong and how Saemaul Training will work."
SO, Jin Kwang, the president of Korea Saemaul Undong Center, explained, "That is a very important question. I want to answer your first question through Burundi's example. The Burundi government has supported cement and some iron bars to all villages by applying Saemaul Undong approach and has encouraged them to do something with these materials. Also, you may want to create a new village and then make villagers move to a new one."
"As for your second question, it's crucial for villagers to elect village leaders on their own. The early Saemaul Training was held for 2 weeks and it focused on mind-set, attitude and behavior change. In addition, it contained leadership training on how to persuade villagers. The Korean government encouraged competition in good faith by implementing preferential support for outstanding villages through evaluating villages all over the country," the president also added.
He, especially, emphasized, "We created Saemaul Undong Global League(SGL) and thirty two countries have joined this League. I expect fifty countries will join the League next year and more than eighty countries will join SGL in the future," he added, "Today Saemaul Undong meets the requirements for a paradigm of the 21st century community development policy. It made operating systems in various fields of society more efficient and effective and contributed heavily to the rapid economic growth of Korea."
After the meeting, the president gave a Saemaul vest and a cap to the minister. Then, the delegation had time to tour the Saemaul Museum.

It's quite often that we see elderly people struggling with small-small things that we at this age easily do. This was quite heartbreaking for me when I saw a 50 years old lady having problem in identifying a 100rs note to buy something for her. It is said that "eyes are window to the soul" but eyesight is actually window to the world. With increasing number of age, eye diseases go hand in hand. Over age 40, an estimated 25 million people have cataracts and more than 2.5 million have glaucoma; whereas more than 2 million people over age 50, are struggling with macular degeneration.
During the process of aging, our eyes also exhibit ageing in terms of their functional capacity, after we reach our 60s and beyond. Whereas, some degenerative eye related problems are considered severe, and if ignored can impact major issues in your personal as well as social life.
Some eye changes are normal and can be managed with proper care, such as presbyopia, floaters, epiphora, and eyelid problems, etc.
Thus, problems like retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy have more potential for affecting quality of life as we grow older, and hence should be treated immediately.
Hence, Regular eye exams are your best protection. If your eye care professional finds a problem early, there are often things you can do to safeguard your eyesight. A healthy diet and wise lifestyle choice can protect you from almost all the disorders.
There are treatments and surgeries to help you get the vision but the traditional treatment approach is not successful in reversing the damage to the tissue; although with the great progress in the field of stem cells, it is now possible to bring back the normal vision using easy and natural process.
At Advancells Patients suffering from different eye related ailments are being treated by implanting stem cells through retro bulbar or other effective modes to obtain maximum recovery.

About the Institute for Visual Studies
The Institute for Visual Studies (IVS) at James Madison University is a center for scholarly, scientific and creative inquiry into the nature and workings of images. An incubator of new ideas, the institute fosters discovery, and the generation of artworks, products, and applications by multidisciplinary teams of students and faculty.
IVS is open Monday-Friday, 9AM-3PM and by appointment.
With developments in digital technology and the Internet, the role of images has transformed both communication and human interaction. This shift is as evident in the rapid growth of the video game industry as it is in the new pictorial format of newspapers such as USA Today. And it's a shift that is equally apparent at James Madison University.
Faculty from more and more disciplines are working with images, using them as teaching tools, and creating an extraordinary range of new applications. While a mathematician now values data visualization, a political scientist studies visual rhetoric, and an artist appropriates and critiques visual culture.
Helping our students read the world around them --helping them become visually literate - is one of our most important challenges. This training will help them to shape the future.
As a centerpiece for the university's College of Visual and Performing Arts, the Institute for Visual Studies is helping establish a multidisciplinary learning community, exploring the connections among art, science, and technology, and creating new solutions for real-world problems. Drawing on earlier models including the Bauhaus and the MIT Media Lab, it provides a more intensive, collaborative educational experience for highly motivated students.
promote interdisciplinary research in the visual realm, enabling members of the university community from across all disciplines to collaborate on innovative projects
function as both a laboratory and a studio, creating a unique teaching and learning environment
develop and offer a series of multidisciplinary team-taught courses for highly motivated students
provide a center for the investigation into the ways images work and for the exhibition of visual culture

2 Kings 8:25—Did Ahaziah become king in the twelfth year of Jehoram or in the eleventh year of Jehoram?
Problem: According to 2 Kings 8:25, Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Jehoram son of Ahab, king of Israel. However, 2 Kings 9:29 states that Ahaziah became king of Judah in the eleventh year of the reign of Jehoram over Israel. Which is right?
Solution: Both are correct. The difference stems from the manner in which the reign of a king was calculated in Israel and in Judah. At the time of the reign of Ahaziah in Judah, the system used to calculate the years of the reign of a king was the accession-year system. According to this system, the first official year of the reign of a king did not begin until the beginning of the new year after that king had taken the throne. The calculation system employed in Israel, however, was the nonaccession-year system in which the year that a king came to the throne was counted as his first official year. Consequently, what was the eleventh year according to the accession-year system was the twelfth year according to the nonaccession-year system.

the follow attached pic shows a warning/error appearing on "course details" front end.
originally the server was using php 7.0.16
I switched to 7.1.2 and cleared wp-rocket cache and this made no difference.
the site is a sub-site (multisite) so i "network deactivated" all multisite plugins as well as the individual plugins on the sub-site.
so basically there would be no plugins activated (except CoursePress Pro) and the warning/error would still show.
I painstakingly deactivated each plugin one at a time, then referred to the page with the error, even jumping around the site, refreshing the browser, and even using another browser, before moving onto another plugin to try to find a conflict without success.
I created a second dummy course with a unit and strangely the error left the first course details page of the first course and now only appears on the second.
the only difference i can determine here is that the first one i am enrolled in and the second showing the errors i am not enrolled in, so i am not even sure if and how this helps.
i have since activated back all plugins and granted support access if required.
currently using the newest version of WP as well as CoursePress Pro.
please feel free if required to create courses/units etc. to troubleshoot if required as it is a test site.
your very kind assistance in this would be greatly appreciated.

Latest From La Caille...
The Spring of 2010 has been extremely busy with building breeding pens on the lake for Swans, constructing new Duck Nest Boxes and collecting eggs for the two incubators.
Soon we will have new baby Swans, Peafowl, Ducks, Bantams and the list goes on and on. Yes, Spring is an exciting but busy time.
As always, we appreciate our many customers from areas of Florida extending from Panama City to Jacksonville and from Lake City to the Fort Lauderdale/Miam area.
During the last year, we have received a great increase in orders from Georgia and our birds and waterfowl have gone to new homes in Alabama, North Carolina, Kentucky , Tennessee, and New Jersey.
Black Swans are great "producers" and we have a very short Waiting List for this breed. White Seans lay less eggs and provide us with less Signets/babies. Thus, the Waiting List for White Swan Signets to be hatched in a few weeks is longer. If interested in either Black Australian or White Mute Swans, please contact us ASAP.
Check our Web Links on Black and White Swans. You will find Swans fascinating.
Visitors to La Caille Ranch are always welcome. However, we must have advance notice and schedule a day and time for your visit. La Caille (pronounced "La Kai") is a 'working ranch' and we want to schedule a specific time to enjoy your visit. Deliveries can be arranged to some areas of Florida and Georgia. Yes, we do ship birds and waterfowl. For added details, click on..... RANCH POLICY.

ADUNA Super-Cacao Powder
By the power of ADUNA, the latest powdered gem - Super-Cacao Powder.
My first encounter with ADUNA was at the October London Veg Fest, I found lots of new brands that day and this was at the top of the list. ADUNA is a brand that specializes Moringa, Baobab and Cocoa powder products. These powders can be mixed in with smoothies, breakfasts, backing, cooking (it's really where your imagination can take you!) -they also do raw energy bars containing these powders. This Super-Cacao Powder is definitely one of my best buys this year!
ADUNA Super-Cacao powder is a 100% natural high-flavanol cacao powder, you can read more about the process of their cacao powder here. So, smoothies - whoever was the first person to think of mixing everything together to drink in one was a genius! There are so many different tastes and mixtures to be had its great, you can add so many things together and that can easily be all the right nutrients and your daily intake of everything you need. I love Bananas and I go through them by the bucket load it seems like, so I purchased the ADUNA Super-Cacao Powder with this in mind - Cacao and Banana surly this was the dream team in food form?
Well I was right to think such a thing, I knew the Cacao powder would have a slightly chocolatey taste to it (Cacao isn't sickly sweet, its a much more raw, strong and in my opinion - delicious taste) so to mix it with Bananas seemed only logical! I have found my perfect combination for a breakfast smoothie - 3 or 4 Bananas, Chia Seeds, some Flaxseed, one (fairly heaped) tea spoon of ADUNA Super-Cacao powder (I only put a teaspoon in because my blender is fairly small, if I overload the powder the smoothie tends to stay a bit grainy - it's the same with other powders I use so I have to get the quantities right), some Koko Dairy Free milk, some Organic Porridge Oats and one ice cube. This 100g pot has also lasted me really well considering how frequently I use it.
Not only does this Super-Cacao Powder taste great, it is also EXTREMELY good for you. This powder has a lot of health benefits, this powder contains lots of skin loving antioxidants - these boost the production of collagen, increase cellular healing and counteract the visible signs of ageing (always a bonus). Other health benefits include contributing to cardiovascular health, the elasticity of arteries and healthy blood circulation. This last point was of particular interest to me, I have a condition called Raynaud's - basically a circulation problem. My feet are often freezing and in the winter they turn lovely shades of blue or grey, my hands often go too (winter or summer). Or one finger will be freezing and the rest of my hands will be warm - it makes no sense! But none the less, I have to live with it so anything that I can try that may help this condition I do. I have been having this powder in a smoothie at least every other day, (mostly every day) for the last few months and I can honestly say I believe it has helped me. I have noticed a difference taking this powder so frequently, you may say the weather has probably had an effect and it does to a certain extent but the sun only does so much.

Early this year, WeChat unveiled mini programs—lightweight apps that live within WeChat itself and let its users perform a number of actions without ever leaving the platform.
Although over 2,000 mini programs were available at the launch, the initial reaction to them has been lukewarm. However, mini programs seem to have gained traction among some retailers. Here are some ways retailers are using WeChat's mini programs to drive offline traffic:
No. 1: Drive Offline Traffic by Cornering "Mini Programs Nearby" Search Results
WeChat now lets users discover mini programs based on location and other personal data, such as user age. Retailers can even bid for ad space, so when a user clicks on the "Mini Programs Nearby" button their mini program will show up in search results, potentially leading foot traffic into physical stores and driving offline conversions.
No. 2: Market Segmentation Through Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Data

Trump vents frustration at generals over Afghanistan
President Trump reportedly criticized the military team tasked with developing a new strategy in Afghanistan in a recent meeting, and repeatedly suggested firing Gen. John Nicholson, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, NBC News reported Wednesday, citing senior administration officials. "We aren't winning," Trump said, according to the officials. "We are losing." Trump, who has never met with Nicholson, also reportedly directed his anger at Defense Secretary James Mattis. During the two-hour meeting in the White House Situation Room, a frustrated Trump also complained about China making money off of Afghanistan's rare minerals, and tasked the advisers with finding a way to get American businesses in there quickly to get rights to the minerals.

Hey! How are you? I'm not even going to make excuses because I've been terrible at making blog posts. BUT, I also want to tell you that I've been dealing with things in my personal life. I'm probably going to write a life update post but not now... Ok back to better brighter things! In this post I'm going to talk about relatively new makeup discoveries for me that I have been truuuuly loving.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Light (Intensity 2.0)
If you follow my Instagram, you would know that I'm not a fan of the original Double Wear. I find it too heavy, powdery and mask-like for my liking, even for events where I need my makeup to stay perfect the entire time. I knew about the Double Wear Light from Sharon Farrell (aka one of my faves) and she made me buy it. This foundation is love at first try for me. First of all, the squeezy tube packaging is a thousand times better than its heavy glass bottle counterpart. Eventhough the shade is a little bit yellow at first, but after it sets and after I finish my makeup it looks fine. I would say it has medium coverage, but because of its liquidy texture you can definitely manipulate it by mixing it with other makeup to add coverage. If you find the original Double Wear too flat for you but you want its relatively long wearing properties you can try Double Wear Light. It is a bit satin-y and it has a sheen when you first apply it but when it sets it becomes a smooth, semi matte finish. One more thing, it does control oil. Oil controlling formulas tend to be heavy on my skin, but this one gets my approval. I usually opt for blotting throughout the day instead of looking flat matte because I don't mind my makeup looking "worn" and looking a bit shiny but I hate feeling like I'm wearing a mask all day long. This foundation gives me the best of both worlds. My skin still feels and looks like skin but I don't have to constantly check myself in the mirror every couple of hours to make sure I don't look like an oily mess. It's not as bullet proof as the original Double Wear, but I would gladly sacrifice that to let my skin breathe. I just love it so much! It has everything I need.
Morphe Brushes x Jaclyn Hill Palette
Surprise surprise. I really didn't expect to love it this much eventhough it looks soooo beautiful in pictures (which is why I bought it). I used to have one Morphe palette but I didn't like it at all and never reached out for it. Jaclyn said it's an entirely new formula and they pressed it differently. I trusted her so I got one. When it arrived I was blown away by how beautiful it is in real life. I was afraid that it would be too warm for me but I soon realized that I can work with a lot of the shades. She did the most amazing job picking out the shades! This palette is so versatile and you can DEFINITELY create a ton of looks with it. I don't know if I'm ever going to wear the reds, the blues and teals but it's fun to have them in the palette to set it apart from other neutral palettes. The 'fun' colours are still wearable so if you're into bright eyeshadow looks you are going to enjoy them. I put my quick thoughts on my Instagram so if you want to see you can peep there, but I'm going to say it again here that I find the mattes need some building up because they are not the most pigmented. I experience very little to no fallout which I'm so happy with and the shimmers pack a punch! I looove using a flat brush to pack the shimmer on my eyelids and really have them pop. I don't know what I'm going to do when I hit pan on my favourite shades as it's supposed to be limited edition :( If they suddenly make it permanent I'm not going to be mad.
Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip in Echo Park
I have tried a number of things from Colourpop and none of them were my favourites. I don't really like their highlighters and lippie stix. I didn't enjoy the cream eyeshadows. I think their ultra matte lips have the worst formula. I didn't know what to expect when I ordered two of their ultra satin lips, but wow I am pleased that Echo Park is the perfect nude shade for me. I love the colour so much and the formula is comfortable on the lips while making my lips look fuller. The stopper on my tube didn't work correctly so when I first opened it it was messy but I didn't care and still used it haha. Thank God I did because it's a pleasant surprise!

After much ado by the Bharatiya Janta Patry and after many speculations that have been going on in the political world as well as among the common public of the nation, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh is now announced. Yogi Adityanath will be the next chief minister of the state. While there have been many names that were coming up in various speculations, the Bharatiya Janta Party has finally officially announced the name of the next chief minister.
New Chief Minister To Take Oath Today Afternoon
While there have been many names on the speculation list, but Yogi Adityanath is one of them whom not many would have projected as the next Chief Minister of the state, especially when there were names like Rajnath Singh in the frame. Also, not many know much about the life of the Yogi and his political connection.
Yogi Adityanath is 44 years old and his real name is Ajay Singh Bisht. He has been an MP from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh for the last five terms. This shows that he has been into politics from a very young age and he is also efficient in the same, that is the only reason that he has been able to get himself elected from the same constituency five consecutive times.
Adityanath runs a well-known Hindu Yuva Vahini which has been the reason of a few communal tensions in the area. Adityanath is a staunch Hindu follower and runs the legacy of Awaidhnath, who had won Gorakhpur thrice. According to his Lok Sabha profile, Yogi is a "religious missionary and social worker."
It must be noted that Yogi is a sorted after leader in the state and is the second most sought after campaigner after Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It would be interesting to see, how good a choice Yogi would be for the particular post.
The oath-taking ceremony will take place on 19th of March 2017 at 2:15 in the afternoon.

On August 5, 2012, a resident of American Falls, Idaho was severely injured after being attacked by two of her neighbor's pit bulls. The woman was talking on the phone that morning when she heard a ruckus coming from outside of her home. She walked out to find that her dog was being viciously attacked by two other neighborhood dogs, and subsequently tried to pull her pet free. Once she was able to get the two pit bulls away from her own dog, they then proceeded to launch an attack on her arms and face. When the incident was finally over, she was taken to a hospital to be treated for the serious injuries that she had sustained—leading to more than three hours of surgery to reconstruct the damage that was done to her ears, scalp, arms and hands.
After investigating the attack, it was discovered that the two pit bulls had jumped the fence of the yard in which they were kept, and were left to roam the streets unleashed. The American Falls Police Chief has since confirmed that the dog owner has been charged with four different misdemeanor counts, "two charging her with owning a dog that attacked or bit a person and two charging her with a dog at large." Although the victim did not suffer life-threatening injuries, the two dogs were taken into custody by the police department and taken to an animal shelter to be euthanized.
Dog bite laws in most states across the U.S. mandate that the owner of the dog can be held solely responsible for any instance in which their pet attacks another person, so if the victim decides to pursue legal action, she may be able to recover damages for the pain and suffering that she has endured. If you or a loved one has been injured in a similar event, you should not hesitate to take the appropriate action. By speaking with a knowledgeable legal professional and reviewing the circumstances of your attack, you will be able to better understand your rights to claim compensation.

Wastewater Recovery for On-Site Re-Use and Energy Savings
Porifera, Inc.
Award Amount:
Co-funded Amount:
Agreement Number:
Project Term:
6/30/2015 - 3/29/2019
Project Status:
Recipient Location:
San Leandro, CA
Site Location(s):
Oakland, CA; Santa Rosa, CA; Vista, CA
Industrial-scale wastewater treatment systems have the potential to save energy, reduce wastewater volumes, and generate pure water streams for on-site re-use. However, many industrial wastewaters are very difficult to treat, as they contain high levels of dissolved and suspended solids, making low cost treatment with membrane-based systems ineffectual.
This project is demonstrating an advanced wastewater treatment technology, the PFO Recycler, that produces high quality water while reducing energy, chemicals and maintenance required for treatment of industrial wastewaters. Treatment of industrial wastewater is very challenging because of the high solids, pulps, free and emulsified oils and greases and their high chemical and biological oxygen demand. If the project is successful then this technology could be used to treat challenging wastewaters to achieve high purity and provide high temperature water for reuse while using less energy than other processes. Reclaiming water for onsite reuse will reduce the need for fresh water purchases.
The project includes technological advancements in membrane development and module design in forward osmosis to address cost and performance issues. The demonstration projects are located at a winery, frozen food facility and a soap company. Each demonstration is documenting energy savings and potential for this technology to purify, concentrate and reuse challenging wastewaters that contains high levels of contaminants. This technology has the potential for application in the food and beverage, oil and gas, and other industrial sectors.
Lower Costs: This technology treats challenging industrial wastewaters for water reuse and can result in energy and water saving benefits and cost savings. Preliminary results indicate an estimate 15-30 percent energy savings compared to competing technologies while also reusing about 50 percent of the wastewater for internal use. In the past all of the wastewater was disposed through the local wastewater treatment plant.
Environmental Benefits: By reducing electricity use and water use, the project could reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With broad adoption, the technology could enable the reuse of industrial wastewaters rather than being disposed in the sewer system.

Troilus and Cressida by William Shakespeare.
|The German translation of Il Filostrato,
Troilus und Kressida (1884).
|Scenes from The Story of the Trojan War, a tapestry designed by Pasquier Grenier of Tournai (1447-93).
|Helen of Troy,
By Evelyn de Morgan
|Troilus and Cressida by J. D. Batten (1901).
Shakespeare shows the soldiers of the war at odds with themselves: there are no heroes in this, essentially, simply a collection of discontented individuals. It's a cynical and pessimistic play, and not one I particularly enjoyed. In essence, it's about individual relationships within political relationships and reconciling the two, or not as the case may be. Even the story of Troilus and his lover is disappointing - Cressida ultimately betrays Troilus sending him to the depths of despair, but there is no real climax with that story. Ultimately nothing changes: the war that was depressing many of them continues, only with different characters assuming different roles of office.
All that said, I must note that there's almost a modern feel to Troilus and Cressida. It offers a more realist view of war, the philosophical side I should point out, rather than being full of death and glory. As far as action goes, there's really not that much.
Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to reading Troilus and Criseyde by Geoffrey Chaucer - more so, actually. I'm rather hit and miss with Shakespeare, though re-reading them all and then blogging about them is helping my appreciation. I do enjoy Chaucer a lot more, and reading Shakespeare's play then reading a little around it has demystified the story. I think I'll be starting Chaucer next week and I'm keen to consider the contrasts between the two authors.

For those of you that did get it from the last post, we're meeting at Campbell Hall in Sausalito this Friday. Runtime of 6:30p – 9:30p. BYPotLuck, BYGear, you folks know the routine. . . . Also, we need a Bass Player for this Friday. Email me at email@example.com if you're up for it, Mahalo in advance.
Regarding Saturday Kanikapila. Just got call from Tony, the owner of Barefoot, says he was just notified that since there are 8 apartments in their building that they cannot have "Live Music". He apologizes for the short notice and sounded very bummed that we were not going to be there. He did recommended that we look into contacting someone at Pancho Villa about using their big patio. He mentioned that the 2p – 4p time was pretty slow for them as well and they should be glad to have us there. Anybody have a contact at Pancho Villa that we can approach? Btw, we'll need a Bass Player for Saturday Kanikapila (I'm sure we'll find a place – There's always UFO HQ) as well, again email me if you can play for us.
Ok that's all I have for now.

Virtual reality is gaining an audience of fans and attracts more and more people. This is facilitated by the fact that developers pay attention to this technology and develop it more. New items are really interesting. Recently, there was another new product, which was developed by Disney, along with scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Specialists managed to create a unique jacket that conveys physical sensations.
The gadget, according to the creators' assurances, is capable of transmitting up to 10 sensations, including impact, compression, touching, hugging, etc.
The most interesting is the feeling when the snake creeps at you. The principle of operation is fairly simple, in spite of the fact that at first glance such a possibility seems unrealistic: the device contains sensors and 26 special air chambers controlled by a computer. If in a virtual space the character interacts with objects, the sensors determine the place, and the air valves transmit the signal, activating certain pillows, thereby creating an imitation of sensations.
This technology can not be called a full-fledged transmission of sensations (in fact, the developers themselves claim that the invention does not fully simulate contact with virtual reality), but at the same time it can provide a higher level of immersion in virtual worlds. Now among the minuses of development is the weight of 2 kilograms and the lack of accurate data on the receipt of the device on sale.

3 October 2013 – Dubrovnik, Croatia and Zurich, Switzerland – The International Project Management Association (IPMA) has announced the appointment of Ed Naughton and Bob Youker as new IPMA Fellows. This is the highest individual honor afforded by IPMA. The announcement was made during the IPMA Awards Banquet on 1 October 2013, day two of the 27th IPMA World Congress in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Mr Ed Naughton, BE, C. Eng., F.I.E.I, IPMA-a, PMP, is a graduate of University College Dublin where he read for a BE (civil). He is a Fellow of the Institute of Engineers of Ireland; a Chartered Engineer (Ireland); a Professional Engineer in Canada (British Columbia); holds the highest level of IPMA certification; and was the first PMP (Project Management Professional) in Ireland from the USA-based Project Management institute. He also holds a Diploma in Applied Finance from the Irish Management Institute and an Honorary Master's degree from University College Cork for his contribution to the development of project management in Ireland.
Ed founded the Institute of Project Management of Ireland (IPMI) in 1989; IPMI was accepted as a member association of IPMA in 1999. He introduced the IPMA 4 level certification system into Ireland and was the author of the original "National Competence Baseline Ireland" and the Certification Handbook which stipulates the rules and regulations associated with the certification system. He has been an ardent advocate for the adoption of IPMA certification in Ireland and ten years after its formal introduction in 2002 the number of Irish certified IPMA professionals is approaching 3000.
In 2004 he was elected to the Executive Board of IPMA and was awarded the Marketing brief. During his two year tenure on the board (2005-2006) he was a very active advocate for IPMA. As well as his normal ExBo duties, he hosted an ExBo meeting in Dublin and introduced the IPMA organization and the board to the then Minister for Health, Mary Harney – the Irish government's largest spending department; founded and edited the IPMA quarterly publication "Project Management Practice;" re-designed the IPMA website and dramatically increased traffic; and succeeded in getting the then European Commissioner for Competition Charlie McCreevy to participate in the promotional launch of ICB3.
Ed Naughton has attended and actively participated every Council of Delegates Meeting since 2000; hosted a CoD meeting in Dublin in 2009; hosted an ICB4 workshop in Dublin in 2011; dopted IPMA Delta and organized a training programme for it in Dublin in 2012; ensured Ireland's participation in international validations and assessments; was selected as a member of the Education & Training Board (2013/2014); and represented IPMA At PMI congresses in Washington, Dublin (EMEA) and Vancouver in 2010, 2011 & 2012 respectively.
According to Ed in his acceptance speech, "this honour is a reflection on the fact that a small country such as Ireland with a 4.0m population can be very influential in its contribution to the world of international project management. In many facets of sport, arts, music and business, Ireland punches above its weight – we must use these international networks in a strategic way. This connectivity and international collaboration allows countries to share costs and risks of tackling common project management challenges. The IPMA family provides a platform for all nations to have a serious input to many of these challenges".
Mr Robert "Bob" Youker is a co-founder of both the Project Management Institute (PMI), and asapm, the American Society for the Advancement of Project Management in the United States. A long-time contributor to the practice of project management, he was a Director of IPMA from 1977 through 1988. He participated in many IPMA Conferences from 1974 through the early 2000s, presented several keynote addresses, and organized panels and workshops. He introduced IPMA into a dozen government agencies and businesses around the World, and in many cases, connected those agencies and businesses with IPMA leaders.
Bob introduced and popularized innovations to the practice of project management, from his work in Xerox in the 1960s, to his leadership in the first manual project management planning and tracking tools (Planalog President, 1968-1974). In his work for World Bank, Bob developed training that benefited thousands of project and program managers, and government officials, mostly in developing countries. He was the author and developer of the World Bank's CD-ROM based project management training kit titled "Managing the Implementation of Development Projects", still available and widely used today. His 1975 article on Organizational Alternatives for PM and making the matrix work has been reprinted in 10 books and used in hundreds of training courses. He presented early papers on key subjects like managing stakeholders, implementing change, the hierarchy of objectives and managing the project life cycle.
Bob Youker was recognized by IPMA for his massive contributions to the profession and practice of project management, IPMA and society.
According to Bob, "I have been a very strong supporter of IPMA since before 1974 when I attended a Paris IPMA conference and presented a paper on installing a strategic and operational planning system in a large government agency, an interesting application of project management. I like the model of IPMA of a confederation of national associations versus a one size fits all model. I have greatly valued my relationships with the many people I have met and worked with at IPMA. Russ Archibald was and is my mentor and I took his place on the IPMA board when he had to leave. I always told people that the IPMA conferences were much more fun than PMI's and I was pleased when Eric Jennet, another mentor, attended an IPMA conference and agreed with me."
Founded in 1965 and registered in Switzerland, International Project Management Association (IPMA) is the oldest global project management professional organization. IPMA is an international federation of more than 55 national project management societies in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, representing over 50,000 project management practioners and experts. The president for 2013-2014 is Mr. Mladen Radujkovic. For more information visit www.ipma.ch
