Breast milk:
As long as you kept it in the freezer until shipping it is okay to use no matter how old it is. I would prefer an ounce of breast milk. I can work with less though. Donor milk is available as well.
You can ship it priority mail through the USPS in an envelope. The cost from El Paso to me is $6.70. You may want to double bag the milk if it has been stored in the freezer(Especially Medela bags!)

And so, it is four AM and I get up.
I go into the kitchen in search of a bit of peace, hoping to taste the light of a new morning.
It is a feeble light that changes according to my moods, the light that filters through the window and Seems to slam on the kitchen floor.
But here, there is only silence, a silence of tomb that terrifies me.
And the internal dialogue begins by knocking at the door of my regrets. A mind grumbling that never stops between doubt and reflections upon my life.
I want so much to cry. My nonna, told me once that once becoming a woman I wouldn't cry as much, and I hold back the tears to make her proud of me.
A few days ago I met a woman, Eleanor, she is desperate because she lost her man and she cannot make out a reason for it and she seems to be taking it very hard. She drags on day after day trying to forget, but she cannot. So many lives touched by the inclement hand of destiny.
A friend at work, Paul, lost his wife to a brain tumor three years ago, and now he suffers in silence. At times there is no one to talk to and the sorrow becomes desperation, a mourning that will never be dealt with.
I have bolted from people's suffering so many times, it scares me, it submerges me, and I have no more roots. There is no space left for sorrow.
I have known sex without love. It is squalid, degrading and it leaves such emptiness, a price to pay for the inability of suffering, a price that fear extols.
I lost my parents early; I lost so much, all the affection all at once. There hasn't been much afterwards, only constant, incoherent, apathetic, irrational emptiness.

Via the Boston Herald:
A Suffolk County judge has denied the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association an injunction on the pilot body camera program, paving the way for the program to start on Monday next week.
The pilot program was scheduled to start last week. But after no officers volunteered, BPD Commissioner William Evans ordered 100 officers to wear the cameras. That prompted the association to ask a judge to issue an injunction to halt the program until a new agreement could be negotiated.
Associated Justice Douglas Wilkins wrote in his opinion that "nearly everyone involved found it surprising that no officers voluntarily submitted an application to participate" in the pilot program.
"Had the Union mobilized even a small part of its membership, the Pilot Program would have proceeded as a voluntary program, avoiding any (of) the negative impacts allegedly flowing from the Commissioner's orders," Wilkins wrote.
Union President Patrick Rose testified Tuesday that the city violated its agreement with the union when Evans assigned officers to what was supposed to be an all-volunteer program. Rose acknowledged that he told members not to volunteer for the program before the union had reached an agreement with the city. But he insisted that once the agreement was reached, he encouraged officers to volunteer.
"We know we're going to have cameras on … all I ever looked for was an agreement that took care of the things we wanted to take care of," Rose said.
After the ruling, Rose said he was "disappointed" by the outcome.

After having worked for recruitment agencies in Europe and Asia for several years, I started work at PageGroup as an Executive Manager. My first task was to set up a new office in Monaco. In the first five months, I worked at our Paris office in order to build up a relationship with my French and international colleagues and with colleagues doing similar work. The office in Monaco officially opened in October 2008. I was appointed Director in January 2011 and given responsibility for the Département Alpes-Maritimes, where I set up the second office in the region and the eighth Michael Page office in France. In January 2014 I was promoted to Senior Director before being asked to lead Michael Page Zurich and become a member of the Swiss Executive Board.

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. — 1 Cor. xv. 45
The meek Nazarene's steadfast and true knowledge of preexistence, of the nature and the inseparability of God and man, — made him mighty. Spiritual insight of Truth and Love antidotes and destroys the errors of flesh, and brings to light the true reflection: man as God's image, or "the first man," for Christ plainly declared, through Jesus, "Before Abraham was, I am." (Eddy, Mary Baker, Miscellaneous Writings, p.189:8-14)

Take Lukaku to be Everton's star once more against Stoke
Everton have won this fixture by one goal to nil twice in the last three seasons and Roberto Martinez's side can complete the set at 5/1.
Although more expressive at times under the Spaniard than they were under David Moyes, Everton have still kept their defensive strength, especially at home.
The Toffees have kept eight clean sheets in their last 11 matches at Goodison Park and although the wheels came off against Liverpool last weekend, the derby is not the ideal barometer.
Indeed, Everton have conceded 13 in their last seven home games against Liverpool which is markedly different from the 17 (2012/13) and the 15 (2011/12) goals that they conceded in 19 games at home in the past two seasons.
Be on Everton to win 1-0 at 5/1
Liverpool aside, and Everton look as strong at home as ever and they also have a real presence going forward thanks to loan signing Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian has seven goals in seven Premier League games and his physical and direct style of play has caused problems to all types of defence.
He's scored against Newcastle and West Ham but also sterner defences like Man City and Liverpool and the 20-year-old is Evens to score once again, as well as 4/1 to get the first goal.
That's worth considering as three of his seven goals have been the first of the match.
Bet on Romelu Lukaku to score first at 4/1
Everton are unbeaten at home in their last 15 league games however five of those have been draws and a case can be made for Stoke claiming something out of the game.
Mark Hughes' side took a point from Swansea – albeit via a contentious late penalty – and they have drawn four of their 12 Premier League matches this season.
The draw is 11/4 and the visitors' chance lies with midfielder Steven N'Zonzi.
Bet on Everton to win by one goal at 12/5
The South African is more known for his energetic and combative midfield style however he has actually created 15 chances this season, more than any other Stoke player.
If he has another strong game then Stoke will be hard to beat and the best bet of the game might be Everton to win by one goal.
Priced at 12/5 on the handicap match market, the bet would have collected in all three of Everton's home wins this season and in four of Stoke's five defeats.
Recommended bets
Everton to win by one goal at 12/5

Those green hitchhikers
The wonderful thing about growing in containers is that weeding is far less of a chore than with backyard gardening. If you can tell the difference between the weed and the plant that you're actually trying to grow - pull up the weed when it is small. If you're scared that what you think might be a weed is actually your plant - wait until it gets big enough for you to be sure, then use scissors to cut it at the base so you don't disturb the roots of the other plants.
To avoid the seeds from last year's plants becoming this year's weeds, throw away the soil when you replant the pot, and thoroughly clean out and sterilize your containers.

DESTINATION: El Nido, Palawan
During our trip to the Philippines last July, we had the opportunity to visit one of the world's most beautiful beaches, El Nido, in the province of Palawan. In 2017, El Nido was ranked #4 in Conde' Nast Traveler's list of the top 20 beaches of the world. After visiting, I can certainly say that El Nido belongs in this list. The island destination is a paradise of white sand beaches and beautiful clear water, surrounding spectacular limestone cliffs, that will leave you breathless. The experience gave me a chance to unplug and reflect on my life as I decided to transition from a corporate job to starting our new business, Buri and Beach.
(Secret Lagoon)
We flew to Puerto Princesa, Palawan's capital, and rented a van to drive to El Nido, which is 150 miles from the airport. The drive itself was about five and half hours with one stop for lunch. Although the drive was longer than I would like, I had the opportunity to see the natural beauty of the island and to catch up on some sleep. I highly recommend renting a van as opposed to taking the bus, which is about a 7 hour journey.
Accommodations in El Nido range from inexpensive hostels to exclusive luxury resorts, which are scattered all over the island. I really wanted to stay at The Birdhouse, which is a boutique glamping hotel that provides "nests" (tents) surrounded in nature with a view of the bay and the islands. Unfortunately, some of my travel companions were not as thrilled about the idea. If you have stayed at The Birdhouse, I would love to hear from you.
(Bangka, traditional boat. This was our tour boat.)
The highlight of the trip was the island hopping tour which is a 7 hour journey through different white sand beaches, preserved islands and clear water lagoons with options to snorkel and kayak (additional charges for kayaking). There are 4 different tour packages; A, B, C and D and each tour includes a lunch buffet, drinking water and snorkeling equipment. We did tour A, which took us to the Small Lagoon, Big Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, Shimizu Island, and 7 Commando Beach. The whole experience was beyond satisfying and the views were surreal.
(Shimizu Island)
With cell service being very spotty in El Nido, I was okay with it as I wanted to enjoy the breathtaking views of nature, the beautiful seascapes and the sunrise and sunset. El Nido is an unspoiled paradise which I need to revisit again.

Why Do You Look So SAD – Seasonal Affective Disorder – Light Is The Answer
This as you probably know, is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD for short. But if getting drowsy was the only impact of seasonal change, things would then be a lot easier to solve (especially with a little coffee : )). Well, the problem with melatonin is that it's secretion is synchronized with the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, which is affected by several external physiological processes such as: blood pressure, temperature, as well as neuro-psychological functions such as: memory, mood and appetite. The two do not unfortunately work together simultaneously. When melatonin is secreted in the body, serotonin production is inhibited. The lack of serotonin production can cause disorders such as: depression and chronic fatigue syndrome, directly reflecting ones mood.
Melatonin is most active at night while serotonin is active during the day. Also, your age may be a factor that contributes to the balance of the two chemicals. The production and thus the secretion of melatonin will also decrease with age. It's also been scientifically proven that the link between melatonin and serotonin, along with their dependence on ones body clock, explains the depression experienced by those suffering from 'Seasonal Affective Disorder'. Depression, along with problems sleeping, sudden weight gain, increased anxiety, arthritic joint pain, irritability, stress headaches are just a few of the symptoms of SAD.
Heavenly Sunshine
UV rays exposure from the sun favors vitamin D synthesis in the skin. That's the reason why people who go to tanning salons, have noticeable mood improvement and a general feeling and state of well-being. However, it's also well known what the effects of UV exposure can cause and they are not that favorable. So if your going to a tanning salon, and it becomes a habit, keep in mind direct prolonged UV exposure may result in premature skin aging which may eventually lead to skin cancer.
Light therapy seems to be a way to treat SAD. Light on the body affects us in two ways: through the skin or by entering through your eyes. Any type of UV light effects the skin, while light that enters through your eyes need not be UV, it just has to be bright. Just its energizing effect on the eyes is needed to simulate the production of serotonin. The easiest way to get enough bright light is by spending just an hour or more a day outdoors, where the natural light levels range anywhere from 1,000 to 50,000 lux, compared to indoor room lighting, which is just around 50-200 lux.
If your schedule or the weather outside doesn't permit you going outdoors, an alternative can be using a 'light therapy device'. To gain optimum advantage, the light source needs to be bright, around 5,000 lux or more. For eye therapy, the source has to be a particular spectrum, around 460 nanometers, which is known as the blue range. According to current research, blue range light provides benefits even at dimmer levels.
As with anything artificial, there are some side effects and risks that these bright lights may cause, the most common being it may interfere with your sleep (when the exposure is during the evening), or it may trigger, in some people, what is known as a mania – condition, or bipolar disorder (manic depression).
The safest way of course is to get natural outdoor light, provided UV protection is used. Another way is exercise. Go to the gym and do a lot of cardio type exercises, get your heart rate up, exhaust your body and your mind by sweating it out. Get on the treadmill or bike and your mood will change for the better.

Government can stable based on its ability to provide its members needs or services such as health, security, quality education and other developmental projects. Resources are dispensed to local districts to assure that citizens have a better life, thus effective use of it. Boyne (2003) indicates that performance in the public sector is driven by two factors: resources and management. Supervision of resources ensures that it is dispensed to districts to meet the needs of citizens. Taxpayers expect their requests to be given and taxes taken used economically for progress in the country. Resources are managed for better social amenities such as electricity, water, hospitals, schools, police stations and other projects are available in order to make life suitable. Heads of local government are to account for the resources portioned to them and proper management makes accountability simple. In the world there is an increase cry for the upgrade of public sector and this is because the fact that government is the single biggest business organization and the government's activities affect all other sectors of the economy. The huge government activities call for the proper and improved accounting and auditing standards especially in public institutions. Ghana has 134 public service institutions and the budgets and funds of the organizations have to be managed economically and effectively.
The Public Procurement Act 2003 (Act 663), the financial Administration Regulation 2004, Financial Administration Act 2003 (Act 654) and other Acts and Regulations are available to help officers to execute their duties accordingly, which makes their job easy leading to the achievement of set goals. The public sector is always known to be deficient but not the private sector but the required resources are disbursed to the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in order to ensure quality performance to obtain it's targets.
The Ghana Audit Service (GAS) and the Internal Audit Agency (IIA) were established to ensure that internal controls, financial structures, Acts, rules and regulations, policies and procedures and resources are used, followed in the realization of aims and to make sure that funds are used as budgeted efficiently.
The Audit Service Act 2000 (Act 584) and the Internal Audit Agency Act 2003 (Act 658) were enacted to ensure continuity of good governance, application of government policies, procedure, internal controls and processes, management of risk and the improvement of the economy by achieving definite objectives. This indicates that there are great expectations from auditors. Effective internal auditing promotes sustainability of the economy, easy accountability and assures taxpayers of great public services. Effective internal auditing leads to the realization of set target.
Misuse of funds, conflict of interest and fraud is the subject for discussion in Ghana because leaders of various sections and agencies can't give an account of the resources allotted to their office and various corruption scandals. Load shedding of electricity, unemployment, high tariffs, unpaid debts and high price of petroleum indicates the economy is in a bad state. An example is, with the African Eurobond debt of $35 billion Ghana owes above 10%, (New statesman, 30th May, 2016) also "Fraud at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) as patients are made to escape paying bills, July 4th, 2016. Due to this, taxpayers are demanding accountability of funds and are doubting the functions of internal auditors. Many people are asking whether there are qualified internal auditors, whether the required funds to help them to execute their duties are readily accessible and also whether the suggestions in their reports are applied, whether the laws for offenders are working effective, whether internal auditors being employees in the public sector are not bias or independent when executing their functions and if the fine for criminals should be increased. The research will delve into elements that constitute effectiveness in internal auditing in public institutions. The factors include accessibility of funds, internal controls, management board, internal audit functions, evaluation of the activities of internal auditors and implementation of audit reports.
Many have done research on internal auditing in the public sector but my research is on ascertaining the factors that creates effective internal auditing in public institutions to promote good economy and eradicate fraud, risk management, to promote the growth of the public sector.
Many people have written the definition of internal auditing.
Mainoma, 2007; Dandago, 1999 define it as "is an autonomous analysis of, and the explanation of an opinion on financial statements of an organization by a chosen auditor, as per his conditions of his contract and the compliance with statutory rules and experienced requirements."
Millichamp (2000) also defines internal auditing as "an independent appraisal function within an organisation for the review of system of control and the quality of performance as a service to the organization.
It is a systematic investigation and appraisal of transactions procedures, operations and result in financial statements. (Anichebe, 2010)
According to IIA, 2006 " Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value to the operations of an organization." It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.
This indicates that internal auditing is executed to reveal high risk areas, loop holes, evaluate internal control system, examine policies, procedures and evaluate the operations in the various public institutions. All these can be achieved efficiently if the needed support from top officers is readily assessable, also the assistance of the audit client. Internal auditing relieves the workload of external auditors, rescue the organization from misappropriation of funds, assists management to make productive decisions and ensures that high risk areas are given more time to prevent unforeseen incidents and that internal controls are working well. The above causes internal auditing to be very effective.
The objectives of internal auditing are as follows:
• Assist top officers to examine internal controls, manage risk and governance processes.
• Ensure policies, procedures, rules, regulations and Acts are working for better operations.
• Aid management to achieve objectives.
According to Okozie, 2004 the main objective of internal auditing is "to help management in the effective execution of their duties by furnishing them with analysis, appraisal, recommendations and pertinent comments concerning the activities reviewed".
Owler and Brown (1999) states that, the aim of internal auditor is to guard management against errors of principle and disregard of responsibilities.
This means internal auditors are not the police as others perceive them but rather are to make sure that the objectives, ideas of public institutions are economically, efficiently, effectively attained by enlightening management to take right decisions , adopt good policies and procedures and accurate internal controls.
Stakeholders have different expectations from internal auditors.
• Internal auditing assures that operations are focused on the attainment of objectives public institution and also safeguarding public properties.
• Internal auditors assure that financial, operational data are documented for future referral and simple accountability.
• They assure that management or council members make better choices to increase the survival rate of public institutions in order to render quality services to citizens.
• They aid management to identify risky areas and provide control steps to help those areas.
• They assure that resources are distributed to the appropriate sector and used as budgeted efficiently and effectively in the various government institutions.
This aids internal auditors to express a true and fair view of how things really are. Internal auditors should be honest in performing their responsibilities and have full control to operate.
According to Rittenberg and Schwieger (1997) "internal auditing is important in many of today's worldwide organizations by aiding management in examining controls and performance, rendering an Important aspect of worldwide control".
As a result, management and internal auditors have common objective which is to ensure that the institution delivers at its best efficiently, effectively by achieving objectives in general. This encourages internal auditors to work harder to improve government processes, policies, internal control and risk management. Internal auditing assures that funds have been used in conformance to the terms by which such monies were authorized and proper accounts prepared. (Johnson, 2004).

• The obstruction of top officers in the functions of internal auditors, top officers sometimes think the laws are not meant for them and dislike their offices being audited.
• Restricted access to data and documents, different aims from stakeholders shows that internal auditors can't satisfy every stakeholder.
• Non-implementation of suggestions in reports, internal auditors spends a lot of time to audit various sections and make suggestions to solve issues in the departments audited. Suggestions that are not implemented indicate that findings are left unresolved.
Mihret and Yismaw (2007) rank inadequate management assistance as the prime cause for the ineffectiveness of the IA function.
Rose and Norman (2008) suggests that requiring the internal audit function to report directly to the audit committee may create threats to internal auditor's independence and objectivity because of concerns about career and reputation, overreaction of audit committee members, retaliation by management and the requirement that solutions be offered when fraud risks are reported.
The objective of the study is to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of internal audit in management and accountability in public institutions.
Considering the above literature the following hypotheses were formulated.
H1 Management support and independence to operate has an influence on effective internal auditing.
H2 Availability of resources, better training, internal controls and good working relationship has an influence on effective internal auditing.
• Interview
Face to face interview is chosen because it gives the researcher the opportunity to make observations and seek further explanations. Internal auditors, management members and other staff members will be interviewed. Information on working relationship between internal auditors, management and other staff members and information on their good and bad experiences was gathered.
• Questionnaire
Many questions or information cannot be asked or gathered during interview because of time constraints. Questionnaire is chosen to give respondents ample time to answer questions pertaining to the research to help in the achievement of set objectives. It was distributed to internal auditors, management members and other staff members. To know the current situation of internal auditing in public institutions and also challenges internal auditors face as well as problems other staff members and management have about internal auditors.
Survey research design was used to gather information. Gathering of information or data for this research is very important; the primary data was obtained through the administering of questionnaire, conducting of interviews and observation on the field. Secondary data was gathered by reviewing documents such as internal controls, policies, procedures, laws, rules, regulations and Acts.
Three (3) public institutions from the health and education sectors in Kumasi in the Ashanti region of Ghana was used for this research (Kumasi Technical University, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and University of Education, Winneba, Kumasi Campus). The questionnaire is designed in two categories, one for internal auditors and another for other staff members including management members. This was done in order to get the views and thoughts of internal auditors and other staff members to help in answering the research questions.
A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed. It has three sections, the first is about whether internal audit departments are well established, it looks at the availability of resources, the condition of service of internal auditors, the existence of audit documents for execution of their duties, the training of internal auditors.
The second is on management support, that is, management giving internal auditors the independence to operate, implementation of internal audit recommendations, involving of internal audit in decision making and the third is on policies, laws and regulations.
The last section is about internal controls, policies, procedures, rules, regulations, code of conduct and laws in the public institutions.
The data gathered from the questionnaires and interviews were analyzed with their significance to the hypothesis. Simple percentages were used for the analysis.
The following hypotheses were formulated to help obtain the objectives of the research.
H1 Management support and independence of internal auditors to operate has an influence on effective internal auditing.
H2 Availability of resources, better training, internal controls and good working relationship are essential to ensure effective internal auditing.
A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed and 80 questionnaires were received representing 80%, deemed fit for the research. The 80 respondents had 30 being internal auditors representing 37% and 50 being other staff members representing 63%.
Working Experience
16 internal auditors had worked from 1-10 years representing 53.3% and 14 had worked from 11-20 years representing 46.7% indicating they have the required knowledge to execute their duties diligently and also the information gathered is accurate.
Internal Audit Agency Membership
According to the data gathered out of the 30 respondents that are internal auditors, 18 respondents representing 60% are not registered members and 12 respondents representing 40% are registered members of the Internal Audit Agency of Ghana,. This indicates not much internal auditors are registered members. This is an agency solely for the welfare of internal auditors and they must be part to have access to training programmes and other necessary documents.
Management Follow Policies
80% of respondents said management follows policies, procedures and internal controls and 20% said management does not.
Management Follow Policies
80% of respondents said management follows policies, procedures and internal controls and 20% said management does not.
Implementation of Recommendations
56.7% respondents said management does not implement recommendations made in internal audit reports, they do not write to explain either and 43.3% said management implement the recommendations.
Interviews conducted by the researcher revealed that management support is an important factor in the activities of internal auditors in the public institutions. Management members play vital role in public institutions, making decisions, establishing policies and procedures, internal control, governance process and they control the entire operations to ensure that activities done are channeled to the achievement of set objectives. Management supports internal auditors by seeking advice from internal auditors, following policies, procedures, rules and regulations.
Independence of Internal Auditors
53% respondents said the rate of independence of internal auditors is strong, 30% respondents said the rate is very strong and 17% respondents said the rate is weak. This indicates that internal auditors have the independence to execute their duties.
According to internal auditors that were interviewed, effective internal auditing involves the independence of internal auditors to operate. They need to have absolute independence to audit any department or section of the institution in order to improve the various sections, also restriction prevents internal auditor to detect or prevent fraudulent actions in the restricted sections or departments.
Availability of Resources
23 respondents said resources are available representing 76.7% and 7 respondents said resources are not available representing 23.3%. This is good.
Internal Auditing Seminars
21 respondents said internal auditors attend internal auditing seminars representing 70% and 9 respondents said otherwise representing 30% which is not good.
Condition of Service
67% respondents said the state of condition of service for internal auditors is good, 20% said its bad, 7% said its worse and 6% respondents said its better. This indicates the condition is good.
Relationship Between Management and Internal Auditors
97% said there is a cordial relationship between management and internal auditors and 3% said otherwise. This indicates that there is good working relationship.
The organization of internal audit seminars is necessary because it gives internal auditors the opportunity to explain their purpose, activities in order for other staff members to have a deep understanding of what internal auditing is all about. This will change the mind set of many that thinks internal auditors are intruders, police and always looking for people to blame for issues at the workplace. Other staff members will cooperate by making the necessary documents available, not hindering information and internal auditing will simple, easy and beneficial to the institution.
A healthy relationship at work is very vital because it brings about great team work and better co-operation with each other thus creating good working atmosphere, also the resources needed when available helps internal auditors to execute their duties on time.
Internal auditors are honest and loyal but good working conditions also boast them to work harder to achieve better results thereby ensuring that the set objectives of the institution are achieved efficiently.
The study indicates effective internal auditing is very important aspect in the growth of public institutions and Ghana as a whole. The study outlines that internal auditing should be modernized to help in risk management and governance processes because we are in a technological and dynamic world.
• Internal audit software should be developed to help in the execution of internal audit functions and internal auditors should be trained to use the various software used in the numerous department in order to aid in auditing such departments and
• The establishment of suggestion box is also necessary because it will help other staff members to express their opinion about issues in the institution and also report fraudulent actions to internal auditors.
• Internal auditors should ensure to register with the Internal Audit Agency (IAA) and also Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) to have full access to training and necessary documents to increase their knowledge and skills.
• Internal auditors should be evaluated by other staff members, this can be in a questionnaire form designed by the planning department or the quality assurance department. This will help internal auditors to know their strength and weakness to improve their strategy or approach.
• Internal auditors should organize internal auditing workshop for other staff members so that they can be understood better for a great working relationship.
• Internal auditors should not intimidate audit clients, discriminate against common staff and favour principal officers, each person is not above the law so equal treatment should be ensured.
• Internal auditors should discuss findings with audit clients before final audit report is written.
• Internal auditors should be proactive in executing their duties.
• Staff members should help internal auditors by reporting criminal or fraudulent actions, follow rules, regulations, policies and procedures.
• Officers from the Internal Audit Agency (IAA) should visit internal audit departments in the public institutions to know their current status and to help in solving challenges they have.
The study was about only three public institutions that have internal auditing department in one of the big cities in Ghana, audit committee members were not included in the interviews conducted. A further study may involve more public institutions in both cities and local areas. Also, a further study can be on the computerization of internal auditing departments in public institutions.

Sockpants and Super Heroes: Procrastination
Procrastination. By far my worst personality trait while oddly enough being my ultimate super power. Dabbling in the arts of procrastination began for me in the late 90's while I attended EWU. It was the perfect environment to test how far I could push the envelope of enjoying my social life to the maximum extent possible while fine tuning how far I could push my professors yet staying in their good graces so that I could graduate and become a productive member of society.
The art of procrastination has also served me well in motherhood. I have mastered putting off science fair projects to the very last minute and still help my son pull the project together on the morning of the fair to earn a second place ribbon. I have also been known to handle my holiday shopping at midnight on Christmas Eve. My kids will never know how close they've come to waking on Christmas morning to find their gifts wrapped in Target shopping bags. Professionally, I procrastinate as well. Some of my best proposals and submissions have been electronically uploaded with as little as 9 minutes left on the deadline clock.
My propensity to procrastinate also extends to chores around my house. Laborious tasks like fixing a sprinkler head gets put off until I notice my grass is brown. Cutting the grass gets postponed until I have time to fix the broken sprinkler head, and cleaning the rain gutters get delayed until I notice foliage sprouting at the edge of my roof line.
For whatever reason I woke up the morning of the 4th of July feeling exceptionally energized. Donning my trendy Wonder Woman tank, I decided that the long list of procrastinated home ownership chores was long overdue. As I drug the 24-foot extension ladder out of storage and headed for the roof line, my 13-year old son asks, "Are you sure this is a good idea? I'm not questioning you, Mom. I'm just kinda questioning your judgment." I'm pretty sure the lecture that ensued thereafter had something to do with a woman being just as capable as a man and "don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today."
Aside from being a little hot, I climbed off the roof feeling a strong sense of accomplishment with freshly cleaned gutters. As I drug the ladder back toward its storage location, I noticed one of the vent cover flaps on the side of the house was broken. Having the ladder still in hand, I decided to spit on procrastination once again and tackle that task too. The slope of the ground along the side of the house caused me some trouble. Not letting it deter me, I tossed a rock under the ladder leg that was suspended in mid-air and began my climb. I made it to the top of the ladder without any issue. Where I erred was miscalculating physics once I got to the top. As I reached out to remove the broken vent cover, the ladder shifted, and before I knew what happened I was laying on the ground doing a mental assessment of the damage I inflicted to my body.
The irony of wearing my favorite Wonder Woman shirt was not lost on me that sunny day in July. Nor was it lost on me that my children did not procrastinate in calling for help when I was unable to stand or walk after the fall. I did find it highly amusing, however, that several days after my fall I received an email from an attorney friend who was interested in meeting with ISAAC Foundation families about special needs estate planning. I took it as a strong sign from above that I was not to procrastinate any longer with protecting my children in the event of a future catastrophe.
While I can't say that I have given up my artful ways of procrastination in day-to-day life, I can advise that with the help of some liquid courage, I have officially pulled the trigger on a family estate plan that will protect my kids long into the future should I again choose to emulate my favorite super heroine. Like with so many daunting tasks that I put off for another day, it wasn't nearly as tedious as my mind made it out to be. I'm not gonna lie, I feel pretty adult at the moment and ready to take on my next 'feet solidly planted on the ground' adventure of sockpants and super heroes.

Figure out the roles you think matter the most, and then focus on getting them right. These are just a few of the main roles you're going to need to fill in business. And the people performing these roles are likely to be integral to the company.
It's pretty clear that staff play a huge role in making sure your company is a success. They are the ones who carry out all the hard work and interact with customers. They drive your company and keep things ticking over. That's why you always need to make sure you have the right staff. It's estimated that every corporate job vacancy will have 250 applicants. So it's very much a case of working your way through and finding the gems.
We all understand and recognize the importance of consultants in business these days. They used to seem like a hokey concept, but more and more entrepreneurs are making use of consultants. You can get advice on anything from a civil engineer job to cutting business costs. Getting input and advice from expert consultants is the best you way of ensuring your company improves.
Business lawyers are essential for giving your business legal protection. You have to understand that you are a lot more vulnerable as a business owner. And you need to take steps to protect yourself in the event of legal issues. That's why you have to hire business attorneys as soon as you can. Don't leave your business exposed and vulnerable; take action today.

The highest complement paid to a woman when I was growing up was that you could eat off her floor. You could eat off my mother's floors. She was that neat and that organized that the house was always clean. Never a bug or cockroach! Never dishes left in the sink. So, I thought we were clean.
Then I lived in Japan. OMG. I found out that we weren't that clean really. The Japanese are probably the cleanest culture, and by comparison, I was truly a barbarian. First of all, there were shoes and slippers for every purpose. You never wore your outside shoes in the house. There was a place for them Scientists have recently published articles to encourage this kind of behavior because germs do get tracked into the house and all over the indoors. Then there were house slippers. Then there were special slippers for the water closet. Toilets and baths were in separate rooms and you never wore house slippers into the toilet room.
The bath! When we first tried to take a bath, my friend and I never thought we would be able to do it. The tub was filled to the top with boiling water. I mean boiling. So, we found our courage and toe by toe, went in. After a while, we became accustomed to it. Now, if I ever have a chance, I would love to have one again.
First, you wash yourself off before stepping into the tub. The water is kept for almost a week, covered to keep it clean, then heated for the bath. It is one of the most relaxing experiences. And warming, too. In the northern villages, people would go to the public baths, then go home in just a light robe. Unbelievable! They were not cold!
I remember baths when I was younger and still at my parent's home. I hated them. I could not fathom how you could wash off in the tub and then sit in your own dirt. I chose to take showers.
I still dream of my Japanese baths and long for the relaxation a truly clean and hot bath can give.

It's coming soon....
It's coming soon....
This is getting exciting
I'm ready...
Outside its dark, the wind is howling and the rain is near-horizontal and we have just the thing to make you forget all that .
The 2020 TT2000 Long Distance Motorcycle Rally is now open for registrations!
In a first for the TT2000 rally, the 2020 event will be entirely a North Island affair, with a format similar to that used in the South Island event in 2019.
The rally is also a tad later than usual, being held on 28th February - 1st March 2020.
The wonderful Ashhurst Inn (in Ashhurst, near Palmerston North) is hosting the start and finish and from there youll need to visit 16 compulsory checkpoints, along with as many mystery checkpoints as you can locate and as many flyers as you choose to visit.
So dust off the maps and the mouse, get yourself a warm drink (or a cold drink thatll warm you!) and start your planning now
We hope to see you all in Ashhurst in late February 2020!
Thanks Wayne. Very nice. Had a super quick planning and looks like I can sleep in my own bed Saturday night. Always a bonus. Found two mystery check points already. Helps when I drive past one of them every single day
Looking forward to it and have registered. Now to see if I can get the days off work if they don't fall right for me.
Good work Wayne.
Well, it's been 42 years since I last rode in the North Island, so the maps will need a good dusting off.
The wife's still keen for another TT (number 5), we've located all four mysteries, so let the planning begin - see you at the start.
Special thanks goes out to whatastoner for his efforts... bloody good on ya!!
Found the 4 mystery checkpoints and #4 was a hard one. Google Maps street view does not actually show the church as the trees block the camera.
I found Mystery 4 a struggle as well but my daughter had it nailed with 5 minutes of being asked to have a go. The shape of the name on the sign was the give away apparently. Now to work on the route and i find all my other projects (trailer rebuild, LED lighting for house etc) have all gone from my thoughts while I work out a route.
To anyone that ever told you youre no good Theyre no better.
I've added a link on the TT web site to one of the 2019 rider's video clips - Ogeemoto. Great effort!!
You can see all of Ogeemoto's videos here...
I've also added some info. on other distance rallies and events coming up...
You know... just to keep you busy until February 2020...
Hey everybody, Im considering doing the TT2000 next year and looking at the best way to do route planning.
Is there a quick and dirty way to learn the best tool for this? I see that the tt2000 web page has files for google maps and garmin gps with basecamp or map source.
Im buggered if I can figure out how to create a route from the google maps file, it only lets me see the locations.
Alternatively with basecamp/mapsource (looking at mapsource becuase I can use nzopen gps maps for free), it looks like map source doesnt follow roads when you create a route. is there a way to get this to happen? selecting points for every turn or junction in roads would take forever!
Cheers for your help

Minister Dedić discusses drought crisis with the American Embassy officials
Minister Šemsudin Dedić met today with Mr. John Ashwort, First Secretary, and Ms. Marissa Smith, Deputy Secretary, of the Economic Section of the U.S. Embassy in BiH, accompanied by Ms. Sanela Stanojčić of USDA, to discuss the situation with regard to the current state of agriculture, including drought crisis affecting crops across the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Ministry's plans in the forthcoming period.
Minister Dedić pointed out that the Ministry has implemented the World Bank-funded Irrigation Development Project as of 2013, aiming at improving the efficiency of the irrigation system and institutions competent for irrigation issues, in order to ensure support to agricultural producers in the Project area.
– In order to effectively deal with droughts, which have, according to our preliminary estimates, already caused severe damages on main crops, we need higher investments in irrigations systems and new technologies, and this Project proved to be a good exercise in solving this problem. The Project includes 10 municipalities across the Federation of BiH, but all municipalities are encouraged to prepare irrigation projects and ensure their readiness for implementation – said minister Dedić.

In New Jersey, property owners must take immediate action after discovering an ant infestation. The insects produce serious property damage and painful bites. They enter the property through small cracks and crevices with little effort. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for them to take over a property. A local extermination team provides strategic treatment for Carpenter Ants Jackson NJ.
Treating the Home
The extermination team identifies the exact species of ants and devise a treatment. Carpenter ants require the exterminator to utilize proper chemicals that attach to the insect. The ants track the chemical back to their colony. This kills off the entire colony as all ants are exposed to the chemicals. All areas in which the ants were discovered are sprayed thoroughly.
Shutting Off All Entry Points
The exterminator identifies all entry points in which ants are entering the property. Typically, this includes cracks around windows and doors. However, damaged baseboards, windows, and the insulation presents entry points as well. The homeowner must follow all necessary steps for repairing these entry points and cutting off access inside the property. The homeowner must continue to reassess the property to mitigate possible entry points in the future.
Eliminating All Food Sources
The homeowner must assess all possible food sources. This means they must keep food in containers with lids. They cannot leave pet food out overnight as this is also a food source and is attractive to the ants. The homeowner must dry up all water as well.
Treating the Property's Exterior
The exterminator must distribute the chemicals around the perimeter of the property. This kills ants at the source. It eliminates ant hills that can house hundreds of ants. It also prevents the potential for property damage around the exterior of the property as well.
In New Jersey, property owners hire an exterminator and eliminate ants quickly. The exterminator approaches the infestations based on the type of ants present. They must distribute adequate chemicals to kill off all ants in the colony. Homeowners who need fast assistance with Carpenter Ants Jackson NJ contact an exterminator or Browse Site for more information now.Add to favorites

Music is a form of art which plays an important part of our everyday life. In some styles of music, such as the blues , a composer/songwriter may create, perform and record new songs or pieces without ever writing them down in music notation. I wish I could turn off having radio suggestions showing up in my listen now, I just want my recently listened to music.
You can get access to unlimited music downloads and all the necessary technical support for less than $50 in most cases. These British power metallers push their music out in all directions and make the argument that they should be one of the world's biggest bands.
Inspirational music embraces all spiritual ideas but promotes no religious theology. Being a lightweight, standalone framework we use FAR less resources than having Google Play Music open in a standard chrome tab. You have the possibility to download your best music not only from YouTube, but from DailyMotion, Metacafe, Facebook and more!
Advertise your upcoming shows, recent press, and sell your music straight from your website! In 2001 Dr. Anne Blood and Robert Zatorre of McGill University in Montreal, used positron emission tomography, or PET scans, to find out if particular brain structures were stimulated by music.
Guitar faculty member Richard Savino recently recorded tracks to accompany videos introducing the Leiden Collection, celebrating 17th-century Dutch and Flemish art. Music takes us away and provides the ultimate escape for the soul – a renewal, and its free for the taking.

ANS:- The similarities of the array and a linked list are few.
They are both structures that can hold data, and the type of data they hold is defined by the programmer. However, an array is navigated by the index of the array, and the array is fixed in size at compile time.
The linked list is navigated by running up and down the 'next' and 'previous' pointers in the elements of the list. These pointers point to the next and previous elements in the list, with the top and the bottom of the list being indicated by the previous pointer of the first element pointing to NULL (nothing comes before the first element) and the next pointer of the last element in the list pointing to NULL (nothing comes after the last element).
Linked lists can have elements removed. you make the next pointer of the element in the list BEFORE the one to be removed point to the element AFTER the one to be removed, and make the previous pointer of the element AFTER the one to be removed point to the element BERFORE the one to be removed. That means no element points to the one to be removed, and then you free up the memory of the one to ber removed.
You can also add elements by allocating the memory for a new element, and you can insert it into the list at any point: start, end or middle, by fixing the pointers in the appropriate elements.
A linked list can contain many types of data in each element, depending on the structure of each element.

Thought Tracking
Thought tracking allows an audience direct access to a character's inner thoughts and feelings. Often humans say things that are different to how they are feeling. Often, we are not allowed to say what we are thinking.
Thought tracking, at it's most simple, is a spoken element by one character during a freeze frame. However, it can be highly effective if used thoughtfully!
Try this:
1. Your pupils have devised a role-play on the theme of the subject of peer pressure. During a section of their work (perhaps a simple role-play of a group of friends shopping or having coffee together, chatting and laughing) the pupils switch to mime while one performer reads out the following poem:
Let them be as flowers
always watered, fed, guarded, admired,
but harnessed to a pot of dirt.
I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed,
clinging on cliffs, like an eagle
wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.
To have broken through the surface
of stone,
to live, to feel exposed to the madness
of the vast, eternal sky.
To be swayed by the breezes of an
ancient sea,
carrying my soul, my seed, beyond
the mountains of time
or into the abyss of the bizarre.
I'd rather be unseen, and if
then shunned by everyone,
than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,
growing in clusters in the fertile valley,
where they're praised, handled, and
by greedy human hands.
I'd rather smell of musty, green stench
than of sweet, fragrant lilac.
If I could stand alone, strong and free,
I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed.
The reader of this poem could follow the focus actor of the thought tracking around the stage, or alternatively, stand front stage and address the audience. Even better would be a group of pupils standing in an arc around the back of the role play speaking one stanza each intermittently.
Marking the Moment
As an extension, the scene could continue to run while the protagonist freezes during the reading.
It's easy to do thought tracking badly so be aware of a few pitfalls.
Firstly, don't use thought tracking too much. The audience will want an insight into the mind of a character and receive the impact the director intended, not listen to every thought!
Secondly, avoid thought tracking clichés. This techniques intensifies the triteness. "I can't believe this is happening to me!" is somewhat overused!
Thirdly, ensure your audience understand on whom the thought tracking is centred upon. If there is any confusion about whose thoughts are being expressed out loud then the result is that the drama will break effectiveness for the audience. Try moving near the character and establishing a connection through proximity or touch.
Fourthly, try to make sure that your use of voice has an impact on your audience. Dull and monotone use of voice will destroy a character.
Here's an example of thought tracking in action:-
These pupils chose to use thought tracking to draw out the audience's emotions and sense of sympathy. The Drama Media of voice and spoken language are particularly effective in raising our feelings of sympathy.
