Our activities and initiatives are tailored to serve our members and stakeholders, our biggest fans and supporters. We are committed to working with industry partners to develop the profession and work in close collaboration with government agencies to achieve our common aspirations for the profession. At the same time, we support our members through the different stages of their professional journey, and equip them with the skills they need to gain a competitive edge and be the preferred choice among employers in the new economic landscape.
ISCA supports more than 32,000 members who work as professional accountants in practice or as professional accountants in business by keeping them informed on the latest industry developments and through upskilling initiatives delivered via a range of platforms, including seminars, workshops and CPE programmes. The CA (Singapore) designation is recognised as a mark of excellence for accountancy professionals and places our members a notch above the rest. Our membership in Chartered Accountants Worldwide – the first among professional accountancy bodies in Asia Pacific – opens doors for CA (Singapore) members to enjoy greater international career opportunities around the world.
In recent years, disruptive technologies have impacted the profession and changed the business environment immensely, bringing challenges as well as opportunities for our members. ISCA has been proactive in preparing our members for Industry 4.0 and the new economy. We collaborate with industry partners to provide members with greater professional recognition in specialised fields that are in demand, such as financial forensics and business analytics. We are also developing a specialisation pathway on infrastructure finance, in partnership with EY. In addition, our CPE courses, which include e-learning and classroom lessons, enable accountancy professionals to delve into a wide range of topics, including ethics, business valuation and financial analysis.
Over the years, we have forged close relationships with global and regional partners such as the International Federation of Accountants, International Accounting Standards Board, Chartered Accountants Worldwide, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, World Bank, Temasek Foundation International and ASEAN Federation of Accountants. We also partner other professional bodies, business organisations and academic institutions on projects that advance the profession.
Such partnerships deepen our engagement with our international partners and the global accountancy community, which goes towards solidifying ISCA's position as a credible national accountancy body and raises our international standing and prominence.
As the national accountancy body, ISCA is a trusted strategic partner to government agencies and regulators. The Institute works in close collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), the Accounting Standards Council, Enterprise Singapore, the Info- Communications Media Development Authority, Monetary Authority of Singapore, Singapore Exchange, and the Singapore Accountancy Commission to develop the accountancy profession. We hold regular dialogue sessions with these agencies and discuss related issues to advocate the profession's interests.
ISCA also works with the government by serving as a conduit for feedback on the Budget. Prior to the Budget announcement in 2018, we held a focus group discussion with representatives from the accountancy profession, trade associations and chambers as well as SMEs to gather feedback on their Budget Wishlist. We also organised the ISCA Pre-Budget Roundtable, which brought together leaders of trade associations and accounting firms to discuss ideas and provide recommendations to the Ministry of Finance in its preparation of the Singapore Budget. We then held another focus group discussion after the Budget announcement to gather feedback on the key measures presented in Budget 2018.

I made DaveDaveFind for an end-of-class competition in Udacity's inaugural CS101 course, which taught basic programming skills by showing students how to design and build a web crawler. DaveDaveFind used the crawler built in class as the basis for a simple search engine that indexes the Udacity course materials, forum, and lecture transcripts. It also does some cool things like deep-linking to search terms inside YouTube videos, returning results from Python documentation for Python-related search terms, and accepting commands inspired by DuckDuckGo's !bang syntax.
The search crawler and web application were written in Python, using the Bottle web framework on Google App Engine. The crawler code uses BeautifulSoup to read HTML, Nikita the Spider to read robots.txt files, and the DuckDuckGo API to search Python documentation. Pages are styled with Twitter Bootstrap and enhanced by icons from Glyphicons.
This project was selected as a winning entry in the CS101 competition. I won a trip to Udacity headquarters in Palo Alto.


Many of us have trouble narrowing down our wardrobes into one-week necessities, but this video called 'Packing Like a Pro' will get your shoe-in.
YouTube user "eviltommy" embarks upon what appears to be an impossible task, with a floor covered in clothing meant to fit into a small suitcase. Where most might associate this scene with an all too familiar exasperated feeling, this guy completes the exercise with skill as he packs like a pro to the sound of accelerated circus music.

I have a strong affinity for green food. Hand me a turkey and cheese panini, and I'm going to tuck in some arugula. A white bean and sausage soup? I'm stirring in spinach. A slice of cheese pizza? There better be a salad on the side.
Based on my own experience, I know that getting green food past my children, and occasionally my husband, can require covert actions. With this dish, I tuck the kale under the cozy blanket of Gruyere cheese and creamy potatoes. Before my children dish up, I see them eye the kale, even hesitate a bit, but when they ask, "What is this?" I simply reply, "Oh, it's those cheesy potatoes. The ones I always serve with sliced ham. You love 'em." And with that, they scoop it up and eat it by the forkful.
If one of your New Year's resolutions is eating healthier, and consuming more leafy green vegetables, but you're unsure how to get it past other family members, don't be afraid to hide it under and behind more approachable foods.
Put prepared potatoes in a large pot. Sprinkle in a pinch or two of salt. Cover potatoes with cold water by an inch or so. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and boil uncovered for about 10-15 minutes, or until they can be easily pricked with a fork. Once done, drain and set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
While potatoes are cooking, prep your kale. Remove the tough middle ribs and discard. Chop the remaining leaves. Grate your cheese. Heat milk by microwaving one minute at a time. Stir after each heating and continue to heat until hot, but not boiling. Repeat about 2-3 times.
In a saucepan, melt your butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in your flour and stir 1-2 minutes until a paste forms. Slowly add your warmed milk, whisking continuously. Continue to whisk the milk, butter and flour together until thickened and lumps have disappeared, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in salt, pepper, nutmeg, and 1 cup of cheese.
Combine your potatoes and kale in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Pour milk and cheese sauce over the potatoes and kale. Gently stir the mixture to coat evenly. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of cheese and breadcrumbs over the top. Bake at 350˚F for 40 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the top is golden brown. Enjoy.
I love any new ideas on incorporating greens into a meal. Thanks…this all looks YUM! I will try your recipe.

Cornhole Champs
Seniors discuss experience with cornhole tournament
Brynn Friesen, Staff Writer
Competitive sports are played globally, mostly pertaining to football, basketball, volleyball, etc. What people usually don't remember is competitive cornhole.
At the chorale picnic on August 26, seniors Ethan Loftin and Kegan McMasters defeated every contender they faced in a mini cornhole tournament.
"[I didn't plan it]," Loftin said. "It's just a spur of the moment type thing."
Loftin said that he had been preparing for cornhole ever since he found out it would be an activity at the picnic.
"I train every night, just throwing cornholes ," Loftin said.
Comparatively, McMasters came into the tournament without much previous experience with the game.
"I barely ever played," McMasters said. "I'm just a natural stud, I guess."
Having been new to cornhole, McMasters was pulled into it by Loftin, who has had experience with the game before.
"I saw my friend Ethan standing by a cornhole game, so I went over and the rest is history," McMasters said.
One of their recent competitors, senior Reece Dickerson, came very close to beating them.
"They won just about every game," Dickerson said. "There were a couple of times when it was close. I think one of the games was 21 to 20, but for the most part they beat us every time."
Despite losing to the duo multiple times, Dickerson enjoys the game and the concept of competing.
"It's pretty fun," he said. "Once you get into the groove, you're able to just start sinking them."
After counting up the total wins from the tournament, McMasters and Loftin placed as champions.
"We're currently 14 and 0, not to brag," Loftin said.
Dickerson felt like both sides of the tournament could have been a bit less competitive.
"They probably could have shown a little bit more sportsmanship," Dickerson said. "At the same time, we probably weren't the best either."
Brynn Friesen is a junior and this is her third year on staff. In school, she is in chambers, chorale and classy ladies and outside she dances, plays...

        BookingStartTime: some POJO
        --
        --
       }
 }

N.B: BookingStartTime is a long.
I want to query the carID node in order to return all the bookings in ascending order + return bookings that have BookingStartTime>= a given value.
My code does the sorting in ascending order, but totally ignores the startAt() query function and returns all nodes under that CarID.
Here's my code:
mBookingsNodeReference.child("carID1").orderByValue().startAt(Here i put
some long number).addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
          //I get the objects
    }
}

A sample of a real BookingStartTime from my DB under "carID1" is: 1564221600000
And when I query using startAt(1564223789000), it is also returned.

A: It looks like you're trying to order/filter based on the key of each node. In that case you should use orderByKey(), not orderByValue().
So:
mBookingsNodeReference.child("carID1").orderByKey().startAt(...)

These homeowners recently purchased this spacious condominium and asked us to help furnish and finish their Living Areas. Their incredible collection of artwork was our inspiration.
We pulled the color palette from this gorgeous rug from Frances Lee Jaspur Oriental Rugs. The Living Area was large enough to accommodate a neutral sofa, two colorful club chairs, and a comfy settee in a teal chenille fabric. We added decorative panels in a whimsical leaf motif to finish off the bay window.
There is so much color inspiration in this Prospect Condo, and the window treatments bring in warmth that finishes off the home nicely. To get more inspiration for your window treatments, click here and here. Enjoy!


A huge boulder rolled down the 100-feet high Siar Baba waterfall in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district today killing at least seven people and injuring 33 others who were taking a bath at the spot, a popular weekend getaway, police said.
Seven people were killed and the condition of three of the 33 injured was stated to be "critical", he added.
The others present at the scene rushed to rescue those trapped under the debris and were later joined by the police, Army and CRPF rescuers with JCB machines and other equipment, a police official said.
An official spokesman said the government has sanctioned Rs 4 lakh each for next of kin of the deceased, while an immediate relief of Rs 30,000 would be provided to the people injured in the incident.
A CRPF spokesman said the commandant of the 126th battalion, Pradeep Singh Kailey, along with medical and quick action team of the unit rushed to the spot and provided all necessary assistance to the injured at the Reasi district hospital.
Governor N N Vohra expressed grief over the loss of lives in the "unfortunate hill slide incident" and asked the Chief Executive Officer, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, Dheeraj Gupta to ensure that the cost of the treatment provided to the injured was borne by the shrine board.
Gupta informed the governor that 31 people were receiving treatment at the shrine board super speciality hospital at Kakriyal. Of these, the condition of three was "critical", according to officials.
National Conference leader and former chief minister Omar Abdullah expressed grief and shock over the incident. "My heart goes out to all those who lost their dear ones in the tragic incident," Abdullah said in a statement here.

Hitting the Books: How Memes Spread Through Society Like a "Mind Virus"
The struggle for survival is not always limited to animated objects. Ideas can be expressed just like biological genes, compete for attention-based resources, reproduce through discussion, and be encoded in the written word. In The ascent of information, award-winning New York Times Author Caleb Scharf explores humanity's unique penchant for keeping information stores outside of ourselves and the steps we will soon need to take if we are to hold on to the 20 quintillion bits of data we produce every day. In the excerpt below, Scharf examines the surprisingly realistic ways in which ideas evolve, compete and spread.

In an effort to provide another example of the phenomenon of selfishness, Dawkins gave a name to the now-familiar concept of memes, which I briefly mentioned at the start of this book. These "viruses of the mind" – to use Dawkins' provocative description – are ideas that not only spread easily, but can also induce new behaviors in their carriers. Indeed, the diffusion of a even is in itself induced behavior, whether through human conversation or sharing on social media.
Dawkins' term crystallized thinking about a phenomenon that has long aroused the interest of people. In 1880, Thomas Huxley (known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his support for the theory of evolution) wrote: "The struggle for existence is as much in the intellectual as in the physical world. A theory is a species of thought, and its right to exist is coextensive with its power to resist extinction by its rivals.
Memes can also act like they're selfish, as sometimes they harm their carriers. Humans are prone to become obsessed with ideas that can lead to disadvantage or even death. Starving artists, passionate protesters, religious fanatics, thrill seekers, and political ideologues can all seem on the road to self-destruction because of the ideas they nurture and propagate across the world.
To explain these seemingly irrational patterns, we can say that memes, or ideas, simply use their carriers in the same way that biological viruses hijack their hosts, or genes use vehicles based on organisms. The human mind is a landscape in which ideas can propagate and compete with each other, following rules that strongly resemble those of natural selection. What happens to humans, good or bad, is mostly of secondary importance in relation to the continuation of information, its subsequent replication.
This view is intriguing, disturbing and extremely controversial. To this day, it is bordering on unacceptable in many scientific circles to treat memes as something worthy of scientific analysis beyond their superficial similarity to what happens in biology (and to be clear , Dawkins never really suggested otherwise). This is especially true when it comes to attributing mutualism to memes and genes – assuming that the evolutionary ability of genes might be affected by memes, and vice versa. This hasn't stopped a lot of ink spilling over memes (filling a corner of the dataome, with a certain irony), with some researchers proposing so-called memetic formalisms and a central role for them in cultural evolution. .
I'm not going to jump very far into this rabbit hole here. The main reason for scientists' conservatism towards memes is that it is extremely difficult to separate cause and effect in a complex, intertwined, and messy set of systems like life and mind. Finding the phenomenon at the root of things, the fundamental actor, is supremely difficult. That's not to say that a simplifying approach, or a one-size-fits-all rule, can't be the answer. But proving it's true is why most scientists still have jobs: it's a long way.
With this caveat in mind, there is such a mouth-watering resemblance between the notion of replication and evolution of the information encoded in genes; the existence of memes; and the characteristics of the dataome, which must be looked at.
Previously, I've said that I don't think the dataome is just a collection or a consequence of memes; instead, memes represent a subset of entities working across the boundary between the dataome and human minds. A popular slogan will bounce between minds and dataome. In contrast, a bus ticket or a database of winter cloud cover in Belgium, while they are certainly part of the dataome, probably does not spend much time, if at all, in the human mind.
The dataome also amplifies memes and aids in their survival. In a human culture, beliefs or values are more easily shared and resilient because they exist as commonly accessible information – in physically manifested data (such as the Quran, the Bible, the Vedas, the Tripitaka, the writings). by Karl Marx or the Leviathan). Memes have more access to hosts and hosting media in a species with a dataome. Therefore, the better this dataome is – in terms of ease of access, efficiency, larger size – the better for these memes. There are intriguing similarities between this arrangement and the arrangement of genes and organisms. As we will soon see, a gene cannot stand alone in the world. It both relies on and contributes to an entire biological system, whether it is a cell or a population of a species. The better these biological systems function, in terms of reproduction, repair and diversity, to withstand changing environments, the better things are for the genes.
Today, in a way that hasn't really happened in the past, the information represented by genes is also represented in the dataome. For example, a very stable set of genes in terrestrial biology are those that encode some of the structures of ribosomes in unicellular organisms. Ribosomes are large molecular machines essential for the production of proteins. As a result, these genes and sections of their codes haven't changed much over millions, if not billions of years. One particularly well-studied set is called 16S rRNA, and through genomic analyzes in the lab, we have decoded thousands of 16S rRNA gene sequences from different species. These reams of data now exist in the dataome.
In other words, the information represented by the 16S rRNA genes has found its way into a whole new storage and replication system – that of books, electronic media, and countless computers and data servers across. the planet. You might argue that it doesn't matter – the information in 16S rRNA doesn't really do anything anymore, it doesn't lead to new ribosomal molecular machines that produce proteins in the world. He is not exercising his original abilities. But the point is that, as part of the selfish genes, these results were never nothing more than a means to an end. If the only reason genes exist is that they can continue to be, to exist in the world, while the information they represent is in an organism or on your hard drive does not matter.
Of course, the dataome might find it difficult to continue to exist without its biological guardians … In this sense, the original function of 16S rRNA in the organic world is still of crucial importance. But now also, its function as an object of intellectual curiosity for the human mind, for scientific research and perhaps for future genetic engineering. All this selects it for maintenance and replication within the dataome.
There is an argument to be made that none of this should come as a surprise because the processes of gene replication in biology, and the way genes actually evolve, are already far from straightforward.

check on him finding him unresponsive and called 911. deputies went through the building to ensure there was nobody else inside. because this was an unwitnessed death of a middle-aged adult, the decision was made to process the scene. that is also normal protocol, not different from what we normally would do. there should be no -- we ended up contacting the county crime lab to help us with that, and there should be no inference taken from that. it's not unusual for them to come out and do those types of calls. we finished with our processing late yesterday afternoon. we turned paisley park back over to prince's representatives. again, because investigation is ongoing, i will not be answering questions on whether or not there were any items taken during our processing. the midwest medical examiner's
office was contacted and the doctor who is a county medical examiner responded. there was no obvious signs of trauma on the body at all. the body was transported to the doctor's office for an autopsy, and that is being done today. results from that autopsy may take several weeks which is not up usual. again, this will continue to be an open investigation until the autopsy results come back and we are ready to take questions that you may have. >> you yous have been listening to the sheriff of carver county minnesota have a news conference, hold a news conference on the death of prince. he did not give many details only to say it's an open and ongoing investigation. no obvious signs of trauma, and that an autopsy is being conducted today. the results of that autopsy may take a few more weeks. we're going to be listening into

street is down this way and pats and ginos four blocks this way. a woman told police she was followed fora block, pulled out the pepper spray, and when attacked, she sprayed him and hit him in the throat before he ran away. we spoke to neighbors who say they will be more vigilant. >> i give her a lot of credit. i do. i was mugged once when i was young. i fought him off. >> reporter: you can sympathize. >> oh, yeah, definitely. >> this person was prepared, which is good. if there are kids and young people walking around at night, they should have something and not be walking around by themselves. >> reporter: again, take another good look at this photo. the one we shared with you all day. police say this guy's 37 years old, 225 pounds, and 5'7", police are using forensic evidence in hopes of making a capture and arrest. live in south philadelphia,

businessman, and i think he can run the country like a business. >> reporter: but not everyone in the crowd made up their minds. >> because i don't know who i'm voting for, so i wanted to see what the trump supporters are like and what he'll say. intrigued to see what he has to offer. >> reporter: delaware's primary four days away. >> i don't think i will change my mind, but hearing him in person makes it better. >> reporter: delaware is not usually a stop on the campaign trail during the primary elections, but this season, every delegate counts. >> vote for trump. >> reporter: why parents took their kids out of school today for the rare opportunity. >> this is, like, a way better experience for me than world history, which i'd be in right now. >> app opportunity trump supporters would not miss. >> any doubt you would be here today? >> none. i would be here rain or shine. >> reporter: unlike other trump rallies, we have not seen any protesters. now, coming up at 6:00, highlights from trump's speech. reporting live in harrington,

something to believe in. >> reporter: taking on the woman who won pennsylvania's primary eight years ago.

Mullins & Townend win Punchestown's opener
Updated on Feb 20, 2019
Allez Dance
Allez Dance made a winning Irish debut for new trainer Willie Mullins at Punchestown today, as the Paul Townend partnered mare landed the Coral Free Bets For Lengths Maiden Hurdle.
Unsuccessful in seven races in her native France from March to December 2017, she was today defying a long absence when beating Galilean by two and three parts of a length.
Mullins later said "she looked like a nice mare but has had her problems. We've run her quite fresh and I wasn't expecting her to be that good but she obviously has natural ability.
"In France it seemed the more she ran the worse she got, so I said I'd run her fresh and I'm pleasantly surprised to see that she could win a contest like that.
"I hadn't really thought about it before today but we might give her an entry in the mares novice hurdle at Cheltenham. That's what she would have been bought for two years ago."
The win moves jockey Townend four winners ahead of Rachael Blackmore (84-80) at the head of the Jockeys' Championship.

What is a trade mark Cease and Desist letter?
< Back to Trade Marks
October 14, 2015 (Updated on March 27, 2019)
A party can enforce their intellectual property (IP) rights through a trade mark Cease and Desist letter. Enforcement is one the main reasons why a trade mark has value. It enables the trade mark's owner to take action against any other party who uses their IP.
A trade mark Cease and Desist letter is issued when a trade mark infringement occurs. Whether there is a trade mark infringement is a complex and fact driven legal question. A trade mark lawyer will be looking to determine whether the sign is:
Substantially identical or deceptively similar, and
closely related to the goods or services of the trade mark in question.
Substantially identical or deceptively similar
Infringement is determined by comparing the sign to the trade mark to determine what are its essential features and to what extent they are similar or different. If the sign is too similar to the trade mark, this may cause consumer confusion, which could lead to infringement.
Closely related to the goods or services
The trade mark system is organised to protect owners according to different classes of goods or services. For infringement to occur, the use of the sign must be in the same or closely related class description of the registered trade mark. If the class of both the sign and trade mark are the same or similar, this may lead to confusion among consumers.
Protecting your trade mark through a Cease and Desist letter
Sending a Cease and Desist letter is the first step to protecting your trade mark. If you are aware of another party who you believe is infringing your trade mark, this letter can be used to outline your demands, including ceasing their use of your trade mark. It can also include ownership details of your trade mark, the details of the infringement as well as your willingness to take the matter to court, if necessary.
Responding to a Cease and Desist letter
It is important to understand what the contents of a trade mark Cease and Desist letter means. Although it is not a court notice, it does outline the trade mark owner's seriousness in enforcing their trade mark rights.
You would want to first determine whether or not your use of the sign does amount to a trade mark infringement. Whatever the outcome of your assessment, it is best practice to respond to a Cease and Desist letter either by acknowledging and accepting their request or outlining your defence to their claims. A trade mark lawyer will be able to assist in negotiating in your favour to save costs and to avoid going to court.
If you have received a Cease and Desist letter or wish to issue one to another party, it is often beneficial to consult with a qualified trade mark lawyer. One of our specialist LegalVision trade mark lawyers can provide you with advice on intellectual property infringement and your best strategy for success in drafting or responding to a Cease and Desist Letter.

Without this community I would have not heard anything about SSC.
I liked their Glycolic and Vitamin C line. I would be disappointed if they disappear off HSN.
If they are restructuring I hope they work on their customer service department-they . The problem was with my EGG micro current unit -I had to replace the batteries and it no longer worked. SSC CSR was only interesting in selling me a higher priced one.
If you read this Jennifer- I like your product;I would like to continue using them as long as I can afford them.

Seed accelerator helps early-stage companies get off the ground
Jake Mieske@wedc.org2019-04-12T15:54:36-05:00June 24, 2016|Accelerators In Wisconsin, Entrepreneur Resources & Programs|
Never short on innovative ideas, the pioneers behind early-stage companies benefit greatly from the support of a structured environment to focus, cultivate and grow their businesses, a need that Madworks Seed Accelerator seeks to fulfill for Wisconsin entrepreneurs.
Based in Madison, Madworks Seed Accelerator runs three 10-week programs a year. During each, six early-stage companies get the opportunity to meet with staff individually each week, learn from guest speakers, prepare presentations, sit in on simulated board meetings and give a business pitch at the end of the program.
What makes Madworks Seed Accelerator unique is that it is absolutely free for participants. Unlike for-profit investment entities whose money and services are tied to equity in the companies, Madworks is able to provide their services free of charge, as well as grant $5,000 to each of their six teams during the 10-week program, thanks to funding support from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC).
"We are completely free thanks to WEDC funding," said Louis Condon, Madworks' operations manager. "We don't take any equity; we don't charge any fees."
The idea for the accelerator arose from a gap that its co-founders – Eric Englund, Anne Smith and Terry Sivesind – were seeing when it came to assistance for early-stage companies. Drawing on their involvement in the local entrepreneurial scene and work with the UW-Madison Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic and MERLIN Mentors, they started Madworks to help companies that may not have raised any money yet and are not quite ready for a for-profit accelerator.
Madworks primarily serves businesses from the Madison area, and typically works with one or two student or faculty teams during each cycle, but it is open to applicants from all across the state. Although the basic requirement for applicants is that they are in the initial stages of their business, Condon said ideal applicants are those who have developed an initial version of their product and can provide a bit of validation, such as data from beta users.
"We pick from all industries, all ranges, but usually siding on the earlier side of the development spectrum – either haven't raised money or have raised just a little bit of money from family and friends," Condon said. "We've had food trucks and we've had medical devices, so we take any early-stage company that's based out of Wisconsin."
A highly competitive accelerator, Madworks regularly receives 30 to 50 applications per program. Condon said he has seen firsthand the benefits reaped by companies, including opportunities to network with other entrepreneurs, remain focused and be held accountable for progress.
"It's really, really, really tough work to create a successful business, and having a community that you can rely on, but that's also going to push and challenge you to keep progressing — I think that piece of it is invaluable," Condon said.
