What I Wore | Blurred Lines/
WhatIWore: I have a special place in my heart for summer radio songs. When I hear Genie in a Bottle, I'm transported to riding around with my friend Christina the summer after junior year in high school. Call Me Maybe? Forget You? I'm gonna turn it up. This morning I opened up my August Jams folder in Spotify and Blurred Lines was the first track. I heard it 20 times on my summer trip to Tennessee last year and although by September I was over it, it's fun to give it another listen and relive those great memories.
When: June 5, 2014, evening
Hat: Self Made (similar here)
Shades: Karen Walker (similar)
Bag: Coach (similar)
Dress: Target
Belt: J.Crew Factory
Shoes: Target
Where: Sidewalk Dinner with Adam
Plus… this dress has it's own sort of blurred lines in the print. I'm getting into the phase when I'm done maternity shopping and will have to make what I have get me through the summer. Luckily I still have to work my way through my second hand maternity boxes (yay!) but I still like resorting back to comfy knits that I wear all of the time (see how I wore this dress at 23 weeks). Twelve weeks until baby! (give or a take a few!!)

In a definitely noteworthy development in the Trump Administration's ongoing campaign to suppress free speech, the Department of Justice recently announced that it would be taking AT&T and Time Warner to court over their planned merger.
There's a complicating factor here — Time Warner's ownership of CNN, which Trump has long expressed his disdain for, has been widely seen as central to the Trump Administration's refusal to permit the merger. That means that the president has now taken his war with the free press to the courts, seeking to have his say over CNN's future.
On Saturday night, Trump yet again went after CNN on Twitter, but with the recent development in the debacle over the proposed AT&T – Time Warner merger in mind, his tweets take on a new — and possibly incriminating — significance.
Attacking CNN in a new way, he belligerently asserted that CNN International is a poor representative of the U.S. abroad, since they are "still a major source of (Fake) news."
Former Obama ethics lawyer Norm Eisen fired right back at the president with a simple observation — his words against CNN could very easily be used against him in court, proving his ill intent.
Eisen wrote on Twitter:
'Dear Dodo-in-Chief: u realize that this tweet is going 2be an exhibit against u in the DOJ -TimeWarner antitrust case right? It also smacks of collusion since u did it on day when Vlad cracked down on US networks. For that reason, it may open u to other civil liability. G'night!'
It's not as though Trump has proven himself to be very legally savvy in the past.

I was thinking about birds yesterday. About how Finn was asking about birds flying in v shapes from a book we read. About why they do that? I was explaining in my best wiki/google mom way that V-shaped formations help the birds fly better- they fly more efficiently together in this manner because it makes it easier to slice through the air. I told him that they are like a team against the wind. It made sense to him. But I lingered on the part that I like best about birds migrating- how there are really no leaders in the bird V. The birds take turns flying in front and when the leader gets tired (because it is the hardest spot) it flies back to the others and another bird steps up to lead for a bit.
It's how I like to imagine my friendships. Sometimes one of us is right up there being strong and pushing through and encouraging and eating the world and sometimes we are back in the way back just holding on. I like to remind myself of this from time to time. There is a need for balance and it is comforting to know that we have folks to lean on when it gets hard. Who is yr team against the wind and have you checked yr leader lately? Is she tired?
I am going on a girls trip this spring, a small little retreat with my girls and I can't wait to discuss this.
There is such strength in women's friendships.
I think if harnessed- it would rival the energy of two year old children.
I think it could light homes just like it lights our hearts.

Bouquets and Brickbats: Legislature's sham budget passed for pay
First we have a budget, then we don't and now — who knows?
The state budget adopted Wednesday by the Democratic Legislature was a sham anyway — a placeholder plan that was passed so lawmakers wouldn't see their pay docked for failing to meet a June 15 budget deadline.
How greedy and cynical can they get?
Gov. Brown promptly vetoed the big hot mess of a budget — no huge surprise there — insisting on a plan that includes extending tax increases.
Republicans, meanwhile, refuse to budge on taxes. How partisan and bull-headed can they get?
So after weeks and weeks of so-called negotiating, nothing has changed. Still no budget — still no answers for local government agencies, schools, nonprofits and needy families waiting to learn how much more pain may be in store in the form of deeper cuts.
For that, we heave monstrous brickbats on both Democratic and Republican houses — along with a fervent plea that many of them will find themselves with no pay at all following the next election.
Congrats to new grads
We offer a congratulatory bouquet to each and every SLO County grad clutching a newly minted diploma — be it from junior high, high school or college.
For those of you entering the workforce, we know the job market is still tough. But as Tribune writer Julie Lynem recently reported, the situation is markedly better than it was last year. Full-time offers to Cal Poly grads are up 10 percent over 2010, and according to a national survey, employers plan on hiring nearly 20 percent more college graduates this year.
That said, the future may remain uncertain for many new grads, but for now, relax and enjoy the moment — you deserve it.
Blossoms for library staff
Starting July 1, it's going to cost $1 to reserve a book at a SLO public library — up from 50 cents. That's still one of the best bargains around.
The only grousing we've heard about the fee increase is from residents of smaller towns who say their little libraries aren't as well stocked as bigger branches. That means they're more apt to have to order books to get the selection they want.
That may be true — but would they really want to give up small-town ambiance to live closer to a well-stocked library?
All in all, the staffs of our local libraries do an excellent job in these challenging times — and we're putting bouquets on reserve for all of them.
Water rate increase an obvious need
We're not sure if the city's slick PR campaign had anything to do with it, but serious opposition to SLO's water rate increases failed to surface at a public hearing this week. Only 250 or so residents filed formal protests —nowhere close to the 7,351 that would have been needed to sink the rate hikes.
But go figure: The biggest threat came, not from the public, but from City Council members Kathy Smith and Dan Carpenter. Both of them voted against the increases of 10 percent this year and 9 percent next year.
Carpenter said he would prefer a different water rate formula that would include a flat fee. Smith said the rate increase would be too hard on seniors with fixed incomes.
We agree that rate increases are tough on just about everybody these days, but the city is financially obligated to pay its share of the Nacimiento Water Project. Without a series of rate increases, the city will have to dip into its reserves or worse, its general fund, in order to pay the debt. The vast majority of ratepayers recognize that. Why can't Smith and Carpenter?
This is one occasion when unanimity on the part of the council would have sent a strong message of support for the city's commitment to guaranteeing a reliable water supply. Smith and Carpenter get dry-as-a-bone brickbats to remind them of where we'd all be without water.
P.S.: The city has a financial assistance program to help low-income residents with their utility bills.

Examples from the Web for sulphur dioxide
By reducing agents such, for example, as sulphuretted hydrogen and sulphur-dioxide, it is rapidly converted into hydrobromic acid.
The first effect of the roasting is the elimination of sulphur as sulphur-dioxide, with formation of oxide and sulphate of lead.

Walkspace have recently completed delivery of bespoke site furniture to the first stage of the Innovation Precinct for the South Frame project in Christchurch. This Otakaro project was designed by Jasmax in collaboration with Landlab with construction by Downer.
The public space, bordering Lichfield, Madras, Tuam and High Streets incorporates Ash Street and Poplar Lane offering the public a unique multi functional space to relax and enjoy, hold markets and food stalls as well cater to outdoor dining.
Vanguard square is a reference to the future as part of the wider Innovation precinct but the site also acknowledges the past. Fourteen reclaimed timber piles from Lyttelton port dominate the squares entrance reflecting the industrial past of the area.
Raised corten planters, paving borders and decking reference the local topographical contours in form and provide social meeting points to relax and eat.
Precast elements also offer further seating options and a fully accessible drinks fountain offers users a place to top up their water bottles.
Again the inclusion of bike racks further reinforces alternative modes of transport to and from the square
Walkspace are proud of the quality results achieved in this exciting public space by all involved and look forward to completing the next stages to the South Frame public realm project.
As always, if you require any further information, or would like to discuss your requirements don't hesitate to contact the team at Walkspace

Meet Jeff
Personal Highlights
Featured by the NY Times, Jeff's team at Sotheby's International Realty is known all over Westchester from Pelham to Bedford for their innovative techniques in selling homes for more money and in less time, even when they were previously on the market. Of the hundreds of homes they have sold, everyone has had multiple offers for the homeowner to choose from.
Their four-step approach includes a customized marketing plan that includes changing the energy, staging, emphasizing your homes most positive features and creating a story-line for your home in order to create an emotional bond with the buyers before they even step on your driveway. Then they utilize their extensive Manhattan and Brooklyn network of agents and buyers and the unprecedented global reach Sotheby's International, internet and social media marketing.

They help both buyers and sellers determine the most cost-effective ways to increase the value of their homes and who could do it for them. Whether it's working with landscapers or with developers, engineers and town planners on new construction and land development, no task is too large or too small for his team.
Their top-notch team consists of Westchester's premier stager, a published author that does all their copywriting, a former artistic director of a NYC art fabrication and an award winning photography studio.
Growing up in Westchester and raising two teenage children there, Jeff is quite familiar with the public and private schools in both Westchester and Fairfield Counties and more youth sports leagues then you can imagine.
Interview them and you will find that no one matches the local expertise, global marketing strength, uncompromising value and sheer effectiveness of this team.

How Long Does Heroin Stay in Your System?
Heroin is among the most commonly abused opiates. It is an illicit drug substance categorized as a schedule I drug which means that it doesn't have any recognized medicinal use. If you or your loved one has been using heroin knowing how the substance works inside your body will help you decide against seeking recovery and treatment.
If you are also concerned that your family member or friend has been using the drug, learning about the different factors that usually determine the amount the substance stays in the body will help them deal with the many inherent issues of detecting heroin via drug screening or other drug and alcohol testing methods conducted privately.
For How Long Should You Expect Heroin to Last in Your Body?
Heroin's' half-life is approximately 30 minutes from the last dose, but the drug's side effects can go on for up to five hours. This means that the level of heroin in your bloodstream will be reduced to half the original concentration in thirty minutes after taking it. The other factors that also determine how long the heroin stays in your body include:
The amount of heroin consumed. Typically, the more heroin you consume, the longer it will remain in your body. The quality of heroin that you take also plays a critical role here. High-quality heroin will stay in your body for an extended period compared to low-quality heroin.
The user's height and weight. The size of the consumer also determines how much of heroin the individual must consume to get high which determine how long the substance will remain in the person's body. Slim people tend to consume a lot of heroin meaning that it will stay in their bodies for a long time.
The speed of the user' metabolism. How fast is the heroin being broke down once it enters your body? People with high metabolic rates will eliminate traces of the drug from their body much faster compared to individuals with slow metabolic rate since their bodies can detoxify faster.
How Is Heroin Detected through Drug Testing?
If you suspect that your friend or sibling has been using heroin, it is always a good idea to persuade him/her to accept a drug test. There are various heroin testing options that you can choose from if you want accurate results. This includes the urine test, saliva test, blood test, and the hair follicle test. All these drug testing methods have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and will detect heroin in the user's body at different points in time after last use. However, you need to keep in mind that testing sensitivity varies from one method to the other.
For instance, the hair testing method is widely considered as the most revealing method since it can still detect traces of heroin for up to three months after the last dosage. The length of time that saliva and blood can detect heroin use is almost equal since both methods can sense heroin for only about twelve hours after last use.
Urine test, on the other hand, can detect heroin for up to three days after last use. Most people prefer using this testing method since it is simple, straightforward, and cost-effective.
What is the Duration of Heroin Withdrawal?
Are you wondering for how long heroin will influence your body's system when it comes to planning for your recovery journey? Well, there is no a straightforward answer to this question since the duration of withdrawal will depend on several factors. You will experience the physical side effects of heroin withdrawal when you suddenly deprive the body of the drug that it is used to. The symptoms of withdrawal vary from one person to the next.
The symptoms of withdrawal will reach peak three to four days after your last usage and begin to fade away after at least one week. However, the duration may vary significantly for long-term users, and it can even take months before the symptoms diminish.
You also need to remember the fact that a full recovery process will take a longer period compared to the heroin withdrawal process. It takes a combination of time and several types of therapies to deal with the behavioral and emotional patterns that usually lead to substance abuse in the first place.
How Do You Treat Heroin Abuse?
Have been looking for ways to deal with heroin addiction? Have you been wondering how long the substance stay in your body system? If your answer to these questions is yes, then consider yourself lucky since you are in the right place and you can now start dreaming about passing that mandatory drug test. You are on the right path towards regaining control over your life.
Heroin Abuse Treatment and Recovery Facility Types
Selecting your preferred facility of treatment will play a crucial role towards your recovery journey. Here are the different types of treatment facilities you can choose from:
Luxury treatment facilities: This is a type of residential drug addiction treatment center that offers patients enhanced privacy alongside some upscale social amenities. However, they are more expensive compared to the traditional treatment centers.
Executive treatment: The executive recovery and treatment centers are specially designed to offer patients with some quality inpatient drug treatment and recovery options while also giving them the freedom to continue with their daily lives. This means that the treatment doesn't interfere with your busy schedule.
Traditional treatment: The traditional treatment centers offer both inpatient and outpatient treatment options. The most significant advantage of the conventional recovery and treatment centers is that they are affordable and still provide high-quality services.
Inpatient treatment: The inpatient non-luxury treatment offers patients with a residential drug treatment facility where they can stay 24/7 and receive personalized treatment and care from the specialists. The inpatient recovery facilities may either have a hospital or non-hospital setting. The hospital-setting treatment facilities provide round-the-clock services from qualified and experienced healthcare professionals while the non-hospital setting may offer regular care from various healthcare personnel.
Outpatient treatment: Outpatient treatment facilities tend to offer similar services as the inpatient treatment facilities only that the patients are allowed to go back to their homes in the evening. This option is usually recommended for the less severe cases of heroin addiction and alcoholism. Outpatient may also be recommended in cases where no any other existing alternative can help the patient recover.
What Happens in a Structured Heroin Treatment Program?
Regardless of the heroin treatment facility that you choose, a typical treatment plan will feature a significant period of detoxification- when your body is allowed to get rid of all the traces of heroin. This is then followed by a combination of both group and individual therapies. In some cases, a family therapy session may also be organized. Most of the treatment facilities will also offer medical assistance to help facilitate the initial stages of heroin withdrawal, treatment, and recovery.

Beyoncé is not slowing down even after learning that she has twins along the way. However, there are rumors that the "Lemonade" singer has already delivered her new bundle of joy, but she's just covering it up for her privacy.
Beyoncé, 35, is due to deliver her twins any day now. However, many are convinced that the "Halo" songstress have already given birth in secret, The Sun reported.
Beyoncé's Instagram account is as business as usual. However, her followers believe that Jay-Z's wife is misleading them. Beyoncé's mom and sister have already dropped a hint that the babies are already out.
However, if one would visit Bey's Instagram feed, her latest post featured her hugging Blue Ivy, 5, highlighting her baby bump. Many noticed that the baby bump is slightly smaller than her previous black and white photo. The photo made fans speculate that it was taken a long time ago and that the "Single Ladies" songstress wanted them to deflect their attention from talking about her delivery.

"Bet money Beyoncé gave birth and nobody knows," one Twitter fan commented. "There's a good chance she's playing us to buy a little privacy before the madness starts," and follower suggested.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson is very happy for her new grandchildren. Lawson, 63, admitted that being a grandmother is the second best job in the world, being a mom is the first.
Jay-Z's mother-in-law is a huge fan of her grandchildren. She bought them drums sets and noisy toys and encouraged them to ask questions. Beyoncé's mom felt that she's getting back her kids when she's with her grandchildren, People reported.
As for Beyoncé expecting twins, Tina Knowles-Lawson revealed that she would be happy whatever God would give to the family. At the time, they have no idea if the twins are boys, girls or one of each.
Beyoncé is surrounded by her family and is taking her pregnancy easy. She doesn't go out very much, but took the time to enjoy occasional lunch with her family. She also spends time with her eldest by taking Blue Ivy to school.

I started working this summer at a hedge fund as a tech intern. It is my first 9-5 office job, so of course I was pretty nervous when I started. On the first day, I had no idea what to bring to work- what do people generally put in a briefcase? Should I even bring a briefcase? (I ended up putting my lip balm and some gum in my briefcase) More importantly, when I went to my interview, I was worried that I was massively underqualified, when I got the job I was even more worried that I was massively underqualified, and on the first day, when I went in to work, I was worried that everyone else would figure out that I was massively underqualified. After all, what the hell was I going to do with TWO monitors, and what would I be doing every day for 8 hours? Should I really be paid for twiddling my thumbs, and how many poop breaks are you allowed to take before people worry about your seemingly cripplingly frequent bowel movements?
I am now reaching the end of my first month of work, and I'm starting to realize that all of my fears were unfounded. This is not to say they were not grounded in some serious and real concerns. After all, it is true that I knew almost nothing practical walking into the job, and if four weeks ago I had to do the work I am doing now I would probably just stare at my computer screen(S) desolately for a few hours and google frantically before asking for help.
But during lunch break on my second week of work someone asked me how I had already learned all this stuff, and how come I already seemed to know what was going on and what I was doing. When he asked me that, I wanted to laugh- me? Know what I was doing? At that point I was still busy drowning in a sea of financial acronyms, SQL queries, and obscure software.
But over the course of these few weeks, I seem to somehow actually sort of kind of just a little bit figured out what the hell I am doing, and I no longer harbor the fear of having to manage twiddling my thumbs and looking busy simultaneously.
It is true that I am just one intern in one company in one space in one sector, but I think my experience is pretty analogous to most others. No one ever really starts out knowing what they're doing, and not many continue knowing exactly what they're doing. I think it's important when trying new things to remember to not be scared- after all, everyone was once new and the people that know more are not likely to be smarter- they've just worked longer and accrued a greater accumulated advantage.
That's a tough concept to grasp, especially because as young adults, for the entirety of our lives we've passively watched the world run around us, led by adults who were seemingly organized and in control, adults who seemed to know exactly what was going on and exactly what they were doing. But because of that, even though now that we are (nearly) grown up, even though now that we are (young) adults, we feel like we aren't ready to join the organized and in control world. We feel like we aren't ready to pay the bills, sit in an office for 8 hours, and worry about taxes (what is a W-2 form anyways?) But the thing is, the world is not organized. The world is not run by adults who are in control 24/7. The world is chaotic, and run by people who often have no idea what the hell they are doing.
I am reminded of this lovely comic:
As a college student, you probably have no idea what an adult does, day to day. But remember, as a high school student, you probably also had no idea what a college student does day to day, as a middle school student about a high school student, and a lower school student about a middle school student, etc. etc. The transition between these stages are not soft- and they often happen without you noticing. One day, you still have no idea what you're doing, and the next day, you've figured something new out.
So I've learned to not worry so much, even though I still know very little- after all, knowledge is accrued through experience, opportunity, and luck.

Putlocker used to host copyrighted content such as copyrighted movies and TV series. After some copyright owners started a legal battle against Putlocker, the site was shut down.
After a high court order, which was brought by Motion Picture Association of America, major ISPs in the UK blocked the site.
Putlocker.ch lost its domain name after the site's domain name registrar EuroDNS suspended the name based on a court order from a Luxembourg court.
Since the site used to host a board range of copyrighted movies, many entertainment giants wanted to shut it down. The site owners couldn't win the legal battle, especially since they were hosting copyrighted material.
Some other countries might have decided to block access to the site after it lost its legal battle. This could have made the site unavailable in some areas around the world.
After losing the legal battle, it was reported that the site was operating under a different domain name.

AS A CONVICTED FELON, Sam E. Antar, the former CFO for the now-defunct consumer-electronics chain Crazy Eddie, no doubt has regrets. Among them: he is no longer in the game at a time when corporate fraud is experiencing a resurgence. "If I were out of retirement today, I'd be bigger than Bernie Madoff," he boasts.
In conjunction with CEO Eddie Antar (his cousin), Sam Antar helped mastermind one of the largest corporate frauds in the 1980s, bilking investors and creditors out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Today, he makes a living lecturing about corporate fraud (and shorting the stocks of companies he thinks may have inflated earnings).
Antar says that despite the antifraud provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, it remains as easy today for bad guys, both internal and external, to loot corporate coffers as it was during the Enron and WorldCom days. "Nothing's changed," he says. "Wall Street analysts are just as gullible, internal controls remain weak, and the SEC is underfunded and, at best, ineffective. Madoff only got caught because the economy tanked."
Antar won't get much of an argument from organizations that monitor corporate fraud. In fact, the consensus today is that financial shenanigans are markedly on the increase. "There's a lot more employee fraud and embezzlement today then there was XX years ago, and this past year there was much more than a year ago," says Steve Pedneault of Forensic Accounting Services. "People blame the economy, but much of the fraud and embezzlement that's coming to the surface now was in the works for X or X years before the recession hit."
Last year, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission's report on corporate fraud concluded that fraud continues to increase in depth and breadth despite Sarbanes-Oxley; the methods of committing financial fraud have not materially changed; and traditional measures of corporate governance have limited impact on predicting fraud.
In other words, same old same old, only worse: in its 2010/2011 Global Fraud Report, risk consulting firm Kroll found that business losses due to fraud increased XX% in the last XX months, from $X.X million to $X.X million per billion dollars of sales. The report, based on a survey of more than XXX senior executives from XXX companies around the world, also found that XX% of the respondents reported being victims of corporate fraud over the past XX months. If fraud were the flu, this would qualify as a pandemic.
The most likely targets by industry are financial services, media, technology, manufacturing, and health care. Small and midsize companies are also more vulnerable. "Many of these organizations typically rely on a small accounting department, especially in today's economy," says Pedneault. They simply don't have the resources to catch fraudsters.
That challenge becomes all the more daunting when one considers the many varieties of fraud that exist. Aside from various forms of embezzlement and outright theft, and the growing risk of information theft (think hackers), two other kinds of corporate malfeasance have come to the fore in recent years: fraud in the business model and fraud in the business process.
The former is defined by a company selling illegal or worthless wares. "If the pharmaceutical industry sells alleged off-label drugs that have not been approved by the FDA, or the financial-services industry is offering worthless subprime mortgages, that can constitute business-model fraud," says Toby J. F. Bishop, director of the Deloitte Forensic Center for Deloitte Financial Advisory Services.
Fraud of the business-practice variety, Bishop explains, can range from corporations ignoring or turning a blind eye to environmental or safety laws to the ever-popular practice of engaging in "window dressing" at the end of the quarter.
An Action Plan
WITH FRAUD ON THE RISE, AND WITH ALL PARTIES THAT could possibly be tempted feeling more pressure to cross the line, how should companies respond? First, the bad news: "Most fraud today is uncovered by whistle-blowers, or by accident--a tip, a rogue piece of mail, or by happenstance," says Tracy L. Coenen, a forensic accountant and fraud investigator who heads up Sequence, a forensic accounting firm.
In a sense, companies (at least those that are publicly traded) were supposed to self-insure against fraud by implementing, at great expense, the controls framework included in Sarbanes-Oxley. But a framework still requires an enforcer, and at many companies there is none. "There's often no single entity for oversight," says Deloitte's Bishop. "Many companies have no compliance or risk management at all."
Even when they do, there's the issue of how effective it can be. It's not a job that wins friends and influences fellow workers. "The compliance officer is the most hated person in the company," notes Thomas Quilty, CEO of BD Consulting and Investigations. "Companies often retaliate against them," adds Antar.
"Compliance staff frequently end up pushing paper [just] so it looks like the company has tried to do the right thing in case there's an investigation," says Coenen. "They're not effective."
As for what to do, while no one has yet come up with a silver bullet, experts point to seven useful steps that all companies can take:
X Start at the top. "It's critical for both the board of directors and executive management to set the tone for the corporation and its operating units," says James Davidson, managing director at Avant Advisory Group and a certified fraud examiner. In fact, this may be the most important component of the control environment necessary for deterring fraud and fostering transparency. Plenty of lip service has been paid to the importance of tone at the top, of course, and it is often cited as the key to the success of ... well, almost everything. But when it comes to curtailing fraud, it really does matter, because without it, an "entire culture of workplace fraud" can take root, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE).
X Educate employees. The ACFE also maintains that employee education is the foundation for preventing and detecting occupational fraud (defined as "the use of one's occupation for personal enrichment through the deliberate misuse or application of the employing organization's resources or assets"), because employees are a company's top fraud-detection resource. They must be trained in what constitutes fraud, how it hurts everyone in the company, and how to effectively report any questionable activity.
X Change the culture ASAP. After it was hit by a $XXX million fine by the Securities and Exchange Commission last July for its role in the collateralized-debt-obligation debacle, Goldman Sachs, which has a reputation of functioning as a "black-box" organization, recently announced plans to change its culture. The investment-banking firm claims it will become more transparent and ensure its business processes put customer interests first. That's easier said than done, however. "It's difficult to bring about a far-reaching cultural change in well-established companies," says Quilty of BD Consulting and Investigations. "That's not true, however, for first-generation or even second-generation companies, where the employees have a stake in the company and are more motivated to protect it from fraud." More-established companies face a larger hurdle. "Current employees didn't build the company," Quilty says, "so they're less interested in protecting it against fraudsters."
X Surprise! We're having an audit. Another effective, yet underutilized, tool in the fight against fraud--at least according to the ACFE--is surprise audits. Fewer than XX% of victim organizations in the ACFE's recent studies conduct surprise audits. Those that do, however, tend to have lower fraud losses and detect fraud more quickly. While surprise audits can be useful in detecting fraud, their most important benefit is in preventing fraud by creating a perception that it will be detected. Generally speaking, occupational-fraud perpetrators commit fraud only if they believe they will not get caught.
X Check (and double-check) employee backgrounds. Due diligence is essential in evaluating the credentials and competence of new hires and becoming aware of any issues regarding personal integrity. That means, at a minimum, that companies should confirm an applicant's work history and education as detailed on his or her resume and follow up thoroughly with all references provided. Any embellished or false information or undisclosed history may be a red flag. The same scrutiny should be applied to new and existing suppliers, customers, and business partners, Deloitte's Bishop says. (A number of outside security and risk-management firms, such as Kroll, will perform extensive background checks on a company's behalf.) Finally, the ACFE recommends that after someone joins your staff, an evaluation of the new employee's compliance with company ethics and antifraud programs should be incorporated into his or her regular performance reviews.
X Prepare a data-breach response plan. With information loss and data breaches now the most common form of fraud, according to Kroll, it's essential to establish a comprehensive response plan that will enable decisive action and prevent operational paralysis when a data breach occurs. Disseminate this plan throughout the company to ensure that everyone knows what to do in the event of a breach. In preparation, consider the following: Who will have a role in reviewing the policies and procedures on a predictable timetable? What are the physical security elements? When and how will they be tested? As additional motivation, consider that new regulations now impose severe penalties on firms that don't have this aspect of security nailed down.
X Make sure the board of directors plays its role. Corporate governance is the joint responsibility of both the board of directors and management," says Davidson of Avant Advisory Group. Now that the SEC has mandated greater board involvement in risk management, apprising the board of fraud risk and responses becomes a top priority for the CFO. It won't be fun, and, as Davidson notes, if board directors are at the top of their game they will push back and demand even more information. But that kind of dialogue can be invaluable in uncovering vulnerabilities.
What Doesn't Work
THE VALUE OF IMPLEMENTING THOSE KINDS OF ORGANIZATIONAL changes often fails to register with CFOs who, with some reason, have tended to rely on more-formal forms of enforcement: audits from the inside and investigations from the outside.
The ACFE maintains that audits are ineffective. "External audits were the control mechanism most widely used by the victims in our survey, [yet] they ranked comparatively poorly in detecting fraud and limiting losses," it noted in last year's study. But the group did acknowledge that audits can be of value when they are combined with management reviews, job rotation, the creation of a code of conduct, surprise audits, and hotlines. In short, the same sort of holistic approach spelled out above.
As for external help, only XXX fraud cases were prosecuted by the SEC in what might be thought of as the Madoff Era, 1998-2007. In 2009, President Obama appointed Mary Schapiro to head the SEC, and she pledged to "reinvigorate a financial regulatory system that must protect investors and ... enforce the rules." That pledge got a booster shot from the Dodd-Frank Act, which will, in theory, double the SEC budget to $X.XX billion by 2015. Schapiro has already indicated that she wants to invest in a technology upgrade, the hiring of XXX employees, and the leasing of one million square feet of new office space.
Yet no new funds have actually been dispersed, and the SEC has had to back out of the lease for new office space, isn't hiring as planned, and won't be getting the new technology it needs for enforcement, examination, risk assessment, and market oversight. It has even cut back sharply on travel by its current investigators.
It's no wonder Sam Antar muses about getting back in the game.
A handful of high-profile perp walks cast CFOs in a bad fight in the early 2000s; today, they are the primary fraud-fighters.

The term 'anti-aging' almost suggests that getting older is considered to be something to avoid at all costs. We're told to prevent and erase wrinkles; that someone looks good for her age and we're provided with miracle beauty products that can reverse the hands of time. But the term could be phased out soon if the recommendations of a new report come into effect. The Royal Society for Public Health, Vision, Voice and Practice (RSPH) is calling on retailers and major beauty brands to take action against the use of the term anti-aging and instead focus on the positives of getting older.
Their new report examines how attitudes to aging can affect our health and wellbeing. The findings of their new report 'That Age Old Question' reveals that ageist views are held across the generations, and that an aging society is viewed by many as a challenge rather than something to be celebrated. The RSPH are making a number of recommendations aimed at addressing some of the key drivers and negative consequences of societal ageism as a result.
The research looks at how attitudes to aging affect our health and wellbeing and found that women were more than twice as likely to feel pressured to stay looking younger for longer. Toby Green, a Policy and Research Executive from RSPH, explains, 'We came together and discussed something that hadn't yet been addressed, about how we're actually living in an ageist society today. How the world views age has an impact on all of us, and not just through the discrimination that undoubtedly occurs at a structural and individual level, but also the way people think about themselves and how it affects individual behavior and their life choices as they move into older age.'
The RSPH believes that the negative outlook on the term 'anti-aging' and the way in which age is viewed as something that is undesirable is negative to our well-being. One of the focuses the RSPH concentrated on in their report was a call to rebrand, or rethink the use of anti-aging as a description in beauty products. 'The call against the term anti-aging was one of many suggestions. We identified this as a specific issue, and how ageist language has adversely affected our culture.
'We're not the first to point it out. But we saw it as symbolic, and overall we want to lead the narrative away from anti-aging and towards a culture of looking at aging as a positive process and recognising that we all do it and it's not something that should be treated as a disease that needs to be delayed or cured,' says Toby.
Allure magazine is one of the first beauty outlets that has decided to stop using the term 'anti-aging', something Toby hopes other major beauty brands and publications will follow. 'We'd love to see major beauty outlets implementing their own policies around the matter. It's great to see that they're using much more positive words to frame aging.
'There's no reason why such products shouldn't exist,' Toby says. 'We think that they can make reference to people's skin but what we object to is the way in which they are labelled alongside products like anti-fungal creams, anti-depressants and antimalarials – they're all ways that we describe things that are negative. We're putting anti-aging beauty products in the same bracket linguistically and that's a risk. There should definitely be a focus on something more positive in aging. It's not a problem to be solved.'

Open Desert Yard
The reason I think this is yard is an open desert yard design is because the sparseness of the trees, and the way the layout is kind of like a plain, makes me think of wondering through the sort and coming across a spot of wilderness. Not only does this spot have that feeling of the wild in the desert, but it also has a rocky, luxurious swimming pool that really goes a long way towards making this design what it is. Imagine wandering through the desert only to come upon this spot of wilderness with a cool body of water to plunge into.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. – The day after losing its first game of the season, the Simpson softball team rolled over Illinois College and Concordia-Chicago in a pair of run-ruled contests.
Simpson beat Illinois College 12-4 and Concordia-Chicago 15-1 to improve to 15-1 on the year. Each game lasted only five innings.
Simpson 12, Illinois College 4 (5 innings)
Jessica Toyne went 3-for-5 with two doubles and Ashley Prettyman went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and three RBIs as Simpson rolled.
After a scoreless first, Simpson put the game away with eight runs in the second thanks to four straight hits to start the inning. Toyne had two hits and two RBIs in the frame.
Kacee Arey (8-1) went 3 1/3 innings for the win.
Paige Meyer hit a three-run home run in the fourth for the Lady Blues (2-5).
Simpson 15, Concordia-Chicago 1 (5 innings)
Chelsea Winegard, Hailey Jensen and Kylie Van Houten had three hits and one home run apiece and Simpson had 10 extra-base hits in the win.
Jensen and Van Houten hit back-to-back jacks in the second, with Jensen driving in three. Winegard hit her own three-run bomb in the fourth, as she and Jensen finished with four RBIs apiece.
Arey (9-1) allowed four hits and a run in three innings of work and Katlyn Ernst struck out two in the final two.
Sarah James drove in the lone run for the Cougars (2-5).

Everyone has certain rights just because they are human. These rights — like freedom of opinion and expression and freedom from discrimination — are enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and cannot be taken away. Our research and evaluation is based on human rights principles, like being inclusive, protecting vulnerable groups, and promoting dignity. Yet much work remains to make these rights a reality for people everywhere. We cannot demand that our rights are respected until we know what those rights are. Thus, the first step toward ensuring universal human rights is human rights education. We at NewKnowledge use this term to mean learning through the lens of human rights, both inside and outside the classroom for people of all ages. While human rights education is the focus of the culture pillar, it informs our work across the entire organization.

On this day in 2002, one of the most celebrated slugfests of this century took place at the Monhegan Sun Casino when Micky Ward outlasted Arturo Gatti by Round 10 majority decision. Ward and Gatti were regular participants in Fight of the Year classics during this era. Their first and third meetings were Fights of the Year in 2002 and 2003. Their second fight would have won that distinction in most years.
The first fight between Gatti and Ward featured what many consider the greatest round in boxing history. Serious boxing fans of this generation will smile and nod knowingly at the mere mention of "Round 9."
Both the action and momentum swings of that round strain credulity, even re-watching them again for another countless time, over a decade later. It is simply astonishing that both Gatti and Ward were able to absorb each others abuse and continue to dish out.
Ward dropped Gatti with a crushing lead hook beneath the rib cage early into the round. It was astonishing that Gatti was able to beat the count and for seconds after the fight was waved back in, Gatti was struggling merely to remain upright as Ward aggressively hammered away at him.
Then, with half the round still remaining, Ward's ability to attack seemed to flag. Suddenly Gatti shifted to the offensive and nearly had Ward out of the fight. The Pride of Lowell had to gamely dig deep into himself to weather the storm, but on the other end of the assault, he was once again able to grab control of the fight and pound away at Gatti inside the closing minute. Gatti hung in and even managed a small rally inside the round's final 10 seconds.
Ward was essentially a journeyman/fringe contender, but his rivalry with Gatti helped cement his reputation as one of the gutsiest and most exciting ring warriors of his generation. Although the fights with Gatti were not featured in the Mark Wahlberg biopic on Ward, it's doubtful that movie would have been made if not for the trilogy.
For Gatti, the series helped push a borderline Hall of Fame career over the top. He was inducted into Canastota in 2013.
Also on this date, in 1973, Marvin Hagler made his professional debut. He would be one of the most avoided fighters in the sport during that 1970s, but would become one of the sport's greatest stars in the 1980s.

If you always think big and have the right team/right people next to you, then you will achieve it.
Would you start by giving us a little bit of your background?
My background is actually in Real Estate hotel development. I was fortunate enough to work for this gentleman named Jay Gold. We development hotel project in British Virgin Island with Taj Mahal group. So I work under him and also under Donald Trump. In 2008-2009 when the whole economy tanked, I asked myself what direction should I go next.?. Luckily, I knew Dre Kroon who wrote many songs for the band LMFAO. He brought me on board into the music industry and soon after I opened a company called The Studio Box. As a company, we later teamed up with Exchange Club in Los Angeles for many EDM events. Then we had the pleasure to show case Tokyo Night/Tokyo Collaboration which does Japanese friendly events. So I was lucky and able to harvest on these great connections I was able to make. Witnessing first hand on how these music producers grew so successful, though I had to learn as I went, jumped into a new field, they inspired me to push harder.
How did the transition happen from that to the next?
As you can imagine, in the music/entertainment industry, the revenues are not consistent. A hit can generate a huge income, but a hit may not come as you expect. So I started to think of ways to generate more consistent revenues. Since the time I was a boy, I was around the restaurant business. Actually, my family is from San Diego, which is where I also grew up, owned few restaurant business. Being around it so much, it made sense to start my own. I started with a couple of small ventures with a few of my friends, but now I have "FOH" Front of the house, my biggest one up to date. For FOH, I'm able to entertain my clients from the entertainment industry side. I'm able to bridge between the two different industries under one roof, one place. And here's what is most interesting, when I can bring my celebrity friends to the restaurant, I'm able to entertain them also have them help me promote my restaurant. I believe, in any business, if you can cut down the cost of marketing yet still be able to effectively market it, it leads you to a successful business.
How did you find a good team to do business with?
All my core members were all my close friends. I believe in brotherhood. So when we started, we already had the trust and were able to focus on the big picture, the goals we wanted to achieve.
How do you motivate your team to want to work as hard as you do?
There's no trick to it. I think if you call someone a brother, then you should share the same vision and goal. If everybody understands where the goal is and want it, hungry enough to get it, then we'll run together to get it. It's my job to paint a vision for my team to see, and make it believable, worth to go get. Equally important is to have a team that's willing to sacrifice with you. It's all about the end goal.
Do you think Los Angeles is a good place to do business?
Yes! I like to think so because I love diversity. To me, that's the key. I mean, you can go anywhere and taste the best food of any choice. That means people can get hip to and educated about more things. And if the people are educated and they know, you just have to provide the best product, and they will know, understand, seek you out as well.
Especially when the people are eager and hungry to learn new things, to know, to find out, get educated…
When you have diversity and opportunity, with all the world's smartest people, the richest, the beautiful…they all come here to LA to chase their dream. This is a great place to brand company, yourself, anything! If you build a successful brand in LA, you can take it to anywhere in the world.
While on that topic, is that part of your next plan, to extend out to other states?
Yes definitely. Once we are well branded here, we would like to go to San Diego, Las Vegas, Japan, Taiwan, many other countries. But the bottom line is, we have to make sure our first venture kick off successfully.
Speaking of branding, why did you name your restaurant FOH (Front Of the House)?
As you may know, the back of the house means the "Kitchen". And front of the house is where customer service and hospitality take place. L.A. has so many great restaurants and when I thought of how to be different from others I felt that having a great customer service, i.e. how you treat the customers, what kind of staff, how to decorate the restaurant, how the food tastes, is what's going to make them come back. My goal is to give my customers a great experience and smiles on their faces when they come here. So this is why we call FOH: front of the house, it's about customer service and hospitality.
Do you have a plan after FOH, the "next plan" so-to-speak?
Well, we all have to move up and I'd like to get back into what I mentioned before about my experience in hotel development. I am looking into develop boutique hotels. Actually, we are teaming up with Shade Hotel group in Manhattan beach/ Redondo beach. we're in the process of searching for a location in downtown Napa Valley. Part of our 5 year plan is to start with the small, mom&pop size, then after successfully running that, do a mid-size one; FOH is where that is, about 7200 sq. ft., full liquor, more luxurious. Once that is on the resume, people will believe you when you want to take on the bigger size project because you've already done the small-project to the middle size project, and eventually conquer the big hotel projects.
Wow, so you had that already in your vision when you started?
Yes. And so far, we've been on track. We try our best to stick to the game plan.
Lastly, do you have any advice or message for people who want to achieve their goal or business in L.A.?
A wise man once spoken, When you thinking big or thinking small, both take the same amount of energy…then why limit yourself? If you always think big and have the right team/right people next to you, then you will achieve it.
Great advice. Thank you very much!

Below are summaries of recent decisions from Florida's appellate courts on Florida divorce and family law issues. Clicking on the case name allows you to view the appellate opinion described in the analysis below. These summaries are courtesy of Bruce Law Firm, P.A., a law firm limited to representation of clients in the mediation, litigation and appeals of Florida marital and family law matters. The firm also created and maintains the family law focused appellate resources website DivorceCourtAppeals.com.
Case: D.C.F. & Guardian ad litem v. T.S. & A.B.
Court: First District Court of Appeal.
Trial Judge: David M. Gooding.
Attorneys: Ward L. Metzger, Kelley Schaeffer, Crystal McBee Frusciante.
Issues: Termination.
Holding: In ordering termination, a trial court must find, on sufficient and cogent evidence, that the requirements under Florida statute are met and that termination of parental rights is in the manifest best interest of the child or children. Further, it is not appropriate to create an unsolicited permanent guardianship for the sole purpose of avoiding a least restrictive means outcome. Nor is it proper to rely on the availability of a non-adoptive placement with a relative in assessing the least restrictive means of addressing a situation.
In this case, the trial court erred in finding that the Department of Children and Families had both established the statutory factors for termination and that termination was in the best interests of the child. Specifically, the trial court improperly relied on the availability of a non-adoptive placement with a relative when it assessed the least restrictive means of addressing the matter, which is expressly prohibited by statute. The appeals court remanded for the trial court to determine whether termination was appropriate, using the correct legal factors, and directed to re-evaluate the availability of least restrictive means without considering the non-adoptive placement with a relative.
Case: Feuer v. D.C.F.
Court: Third District Court of Appeal.
Trial Judge: Not stated in opinion.
Attorneys: Leslie Hinds St-Surin.
Issues: Procedure.
Holding: A party is presumed to have received sufficient notice of a proceeding if it was mailed to him or her in conformity with the systematic business practice of the Office of Appeal Hearings. However, this is a rebuttable presumption, and a party is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on the issue of whether he or she received notice of procedural matters, including the issuance of an order. In this case, the issue is required to be considered by the trial court. The appeals court reversed the trial court's decision and remanded for further proceedings.
Case: D.C.F. v. J.B.
Court: Third District Court of Appeal.
Trial Judge: Maria I. Sampedro-Iglesia.
Attorneys: Javier Ley-Soto, Leslie Hinds St-Surin, Angela Vigil.
Issues: Costs.
Holding: Unless a statute or a constitution authorizes the court to do so, it is a violation of Florida's doctrine of separation of powers for a court to direct an executive department on how to expend funds appropriated to the department. A court may order an executive department to spend funds when a statute or constitution authorizes a court to do so. However, courts have rejected the idea that there is a doctrine of inherent judicial power that allows a court to direct how an executive department exercises its discretion to spend funds appropriated to the department. Rather, the courts have repeatedly held that the judicial branch may neither interfere with the legislative branch by requiring funds to be spent by an executive agency in a manner not authorized by statute, nor interfere with an executive agency's discretion in the spending of appropriated funds.
In this case, the trial court erred because no statute authorized the trial court to order the Department to pay for the travel of the pro bono Attorney Ad Litem for the purpose of facilitating the minor child's therapy. The order violated the doctrine of separation of powers. Florida's Constitution provides for the separation of powers between the three branches of state government. Under this doctrine, the judicial branch must not interfere with the discretionary functions of the legislative or executive branches of government absent a violation of constitutional or statutory rights. The appeals court quashed the order.

February 4, 2015
According to NetworkWorld, the mayors of several major U.S. cities want states to stop passing municipal broadband laws. The mayor of Syracuse, N.Y. is considering building a government-owned network in her city as are leaders in Rochester, N.Y. These local officials argue their cities need better access to broadband to allow their residents to compete in a 21st century economy. Broadband is essential to modern life, but today we thought we would remind these leaders of the top five "costs" of city-owned broadband.
These costs don't apply to private-owned networks. Before building government-run networks, we urge leaders in Syracuse, Rochester and other cities to look first look for ways they can attract more private providers to their towns.

I would love to get my hands on some antique beekeeping equipment. Not the big stuff, but the little things that are reasonable to collect. I wouldn't like the idea of storing and toting around a big antique honey extractor that I couldn't even use.
Until I get my hands on some some cool antique beekeeping pictures and materials, I can settle for the easier things. The low hanging fruit are the digital versions of old beekeeping books. It is really surprising how many beekeeping books have been digitized, hundreds are available from all over the world. You can't exactly cozy up to them and flip through them in bed, but they are worth looking at.
These books have a lot of really great information from a time when beekeeping was common practice. Pictures from these books show hundreds of hives, scattered across the country side. Far from how the majority of bees are kept today. It is too much information to read through, but the yellowed pages of these scanned pages and the beautifully drawn images make me want to get my hands on a real copy. A 137 year old book is cool on its own, but the fact that its an encyclopedia of information on beekeeping as well, makes it awesome.
Currently as I write this, there is 1895 printing of The ABC of Bee Culture for $389.00 on Ebay. I'm still gonna holding out for that estate sale gold mine I think about.
To get your "hands" on your own free downloadable copies, check out these websites (in order of favorites):
You can download these onto a e-reader as well as your computer
Happy Beekeeping
