Quality control is a critical element in the design process. It is the difference between a smooth building process and one fraught with change orders and issues in the field. Recently, Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke celebrated a rare achievement- submitting a set of drawings to the Division of the State Architect (DSA) for review and receiving 0 comments.
Jennifer Nguyen's bubbly personality far exceeds her small stature. At Ruhnau Clarke Architects, we've long admired the spirit she brings to the firm as well as her artistic talents outside of Architecture. Now, others are taking notice too.
This Summer Jennifer's water color paintings will be featured as part of West Elm Local's artist program. The home goods retailer, owned by William Sonoma Inc., gives local artists the opportunity to sell their creations in local stores and, if they generate enough interest, will make their goods available in their catalogue and online nationwide.
This exciting opportunity comes on the heels of Jennifer's recent art exhibitions at Rok House Brewery in Upland, CA and with the Riverside Community Arts Association. Jennifer's first "Le Petit Fox" pop up shop for West Elm Local will debut at West Elm San Diego, July 23 from 11-3pm.
Paul will lead the Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke Facilities Planning team, partnering with clients in all aspects of facilities planning and funding acquisition.


We're glad you found us and we can't wait to help you experience the benefits of chiropractic care. As soon as you enter our warm and inviting practice, we hope you'll feel like a part of our family.
At your first visit with us, we'll begin by having you fill out new patient paperwork if you haven't already done so online. Next, a staff member will take you back to a room where they'll ask a few clarifying questions. After briefing the chiropractor, you'll then meet with Dr Thackeray or Dr Royer.
The doctors will take a few minutes to get to know more about you and what's causing problems in your body. We'll then perform a couple of tests and a thermal scan of your spine to show you exactly where the problem is occurring. We'll point out issues that you can see and explain how chiropractic care can provide a solution.
If you're in agreement, we can perform your first adjustment at this visit. Your first visit typically last about an hour and fifteen minutes.
When you return for your next appointment, visits tend to be much quicker than your first. We'll perform a specific adjustment to your spine where your body needs it most.
Continuing care with us after you're feeling better is entirely up to you. We typically re-evaluate patients every 12 visits and take new scans to see how they're improving. The most important thing to us is your comfort—we're happy to help you get out of pain and see you when it returns, and we're happy to see patients for regular care to help them live their best lives.
If you're wondering how chiropractic care can help you, contact our practice to schedule your first appointment. We look forward to helping you heal naturally!

Could you sharing your solution? It will help others to resolve the similar problem.


After failing to turn up for delivery on Thursday I amended the delivery address for my high value items to my work on Friday. When I arrived home I got a card saying the parcel was around the back.
No parcel, so I started a claim and yodel have lied about it being signed for. I have been harrassed by the driver who keeps phoning and turning up leaving notes written on non yodel paperwork.
He has my name, address and phone number and I'm really worried.

EUROPEAN DEVELOPMENT BANKS AGREE TO STOP NEW FINANCING OF COAL AND OIL COMPANIES
European dev banks to end fossil fuel financing
Renewables Now, November 6, 2020
November 6 (Renewables Now) - The Association of European Development Finance Institutions (EDFI) this week committed to immediately stopping new coal and fuel oil financing.
The 15 European bilateral development finance institutions (DFIs) that make up the association will also end other fossil fuel financing by 2030 at the latest. In the meantime, funds for fossil fuels will be restricted to projects that are in line with the Paris agreement such as some investments in gas-fired power generation.
The EDFI members together have USD 50 billion (EUR 42bn) under management in emerging and frontier markets. They have provided EUR 8 billion for climate finance in low- and middle-income countries over the past five years. The group includes CDC - the UK's development finance institution, DEG - the German development finance institution wholly owned by KfW, FMO - the Dutch development bank and Proparco - the French development finance institution.
All new financing by EDFI members will be brought in line with the goals of Paris agreement by 2022 and the institutions will work to move their investment portfolios to net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
"DFIs are diverse institutions that will follow different paths and use their best efforts to implement these commitments, with some institutions going even further in certain areas and others needing more time for implementation," said EDFI chief executive Soren Peter Andreasen.
EDFI said its announcement comes at an important time. "Now, in the lead-up to COP 26, and as countries around the world strive to achieve a sustainable recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever that European DFIs set a collective example for investors in developing markets."

It's Official: Google Is Now a Hardware Company
Evans on Marketing, May 28, 2012
May 28, 2012 Evans on Marketing Online Marketing, Product Management, Technology and Marketing Google, innovation, opportunity, technology
With the acquisition of Motorola now official, Google is about to embark on another interesting adventure. How will it do? And will the other makers of Droid-based phones be upset with Google?
According to Brad Stone and Peter Burrows, writing Business Week: "Motorola, founded 84 years ago, invented the cell phone in the 1980s, made it ubiquitous in the '90s with the StarTAC, and with the RAZR ushered in the era of stylish devices. Then it lost its way in the age of the iPhone. When Google first came calling, it was mostly interested in getting Motorola's trove of 17,000-plus patents to help defend the Android operating system against lawsuits by Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, and others."
But now, Google "has become more ambitious and plans to use its new hardware division to produce smartphones and tablets that set the pace of innovation in the mobile business." According to Google, "this is a huge opportunity to really show what Android can do in a well-designed, well-packaged, and well-marketed product."
Yet, as Stone and Burrows note: "It's also a huge gamble, certainly the biggest since Larry Page retook the title of CEO at Google a year ago. The company became a household name—and one of the most profitable businesses ever—by sticking to online services and software. Now it will have to figure out the cutthroat, low-margin world of hardware.

A Ferrari owned by Stefan Eriksson, a reputed member of the "Uppsala Mafia" (that's in Sweden) crashed last week on the Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu, California. The owner, who denies being the driver but did claim to be with a little-known arm of the Department of Homeland Security, tried to flee into the hills following the crash. Police are currently attempting to match his DNA to blood found on the driver's side airbag. Eriksson's mafia handle back in Sweden is "Tjock-Steffe," or "Fat Steven." Penalty for driving a rare Ferrari an estimated 162 mph while intoxicated? $1.2 million, the value of the car (see picture!), as well as a few spots of trouble with a Scottish bank that may have a lien on the vehicle and possible extradition to face racketeering charges.
Compared to which, you're going to have a good day today!
Check out the home of Stefan Erikkson! It's at 2323 Worthing Lane, Los Angeles in the gated Bel Air Crest community.

In 2016, the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road Joint Venture split the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road contract into two segments to allow for additional regional Indigenous participation. Nuna Deton'Cho Winter Road Services Joint Venture holds the contract for the north end of the road, which comprises 135 kilometres over frozen lakes and portages.
Project Scope Performed Under: Nuna Winter Road Services Ltd.
The Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road (TCWR), formerly known as Echo Bay Mines Ltd.'s Lupin Winter Road, is a permitted 604-kilometre heavy haul ice road corridor that serves as a re-supply route for operating diamond mines and exploration in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The TCWR has evolved from an 800-load-per-annum road system to a renowned and engineered ice superhighway with transport trucks delivering up to 10,000 loads during February and March. Approximately 85% of this road is constructed on frozen lakes, with overland portions linking the 64 lakes along the route.
From 1998 to 2016, Nuna Winter Road Services constructed and maintained the TCWR. The road starts 70 kilometres north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, and traverses between 400 and 600 kilometres (depending on mining activities) over frozen lakes and land portages. The route used to terminate at Echo Bay's Lupin Gold Mine and now has extended to reach Tahera's Jericho Diamond Mine. With both of these mines in care and maintenance status, the TCWR now terminates near Ekati Diamond Mine.
Camps, shops, laydown areas, and fuel storage have been strategically positioned along the route, enabling Nuna to respond quickly to various demands placed on operating a heavy haul ice road in Canada's harsh, remote north. In 2008, the TCWR JV (and Nuna) received the Professional Award of Merit for Engineering from the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists, and Geophysicists of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut (NAPEGG).

The Interesting Meaning and History of the Phrase 'Raining Cats and Dogs'
A few days ago, we delved into the curious origins and meaning of the phrase 'curiosity killed the cat'. That got us thinking about another popular feline phrase, 'it's raining cats and dogs'. We all know the rough meaning of the phrase: namely, if it's raining cats and dogs, it's raining heavily, the heavens have opened, it's torrential out there, and so on. But where does the expression 'raining cats and dogs' actually come from?
There are various theories that 'raining cats and dogs' is derived from a foreign phrase (e.g. from the Greek kata doksa, 'contrary to expectation') which the English adopted, although these have largely been rejected. There is something about the expression 'it's raining cats and dogs' that is decidedly British: it is a distinctly British idiom, although most languages have a similar phrase – not
involving cats and dogs, but using somewhat extreme imagery to convey the forcefulness and heaviness of the rainfall. (Of all of these colourful expressions, our favourite may be the French il pleut comme vache qui pisse, 'it is raining like a peeing cow'.) In 1651, the Welsh poet Henry Vaughan published a poem which contains the lines:
And gladly would against the Fair-day fit
Themselves with such a roof, that can secure
Their wares from dogs and cats rained in shower;
Then, in the following century, Jonathan Swift – who, elsewhere, invented the girls' name Vanessa (it was a pet name for his friend Esther Vanhomrigh) – concluded his 1710 poem 'Description of a City Shower' with the triplet:
Sweepings from butchers' stalls, dung, guts, and blood,
Drowned puppies, stinking sprats, all drenched in mud,
Dead cats, and turnip tops, come tumbling down the flood.
If this doesn't exactly give us 'raining cats and dogs', it does at least give us drowned puppies and dead cats swept up in the 'flood' of a rain-shower. But then, in 1738, Swift published his Polite Conversation, in which his character Lord Sparkish observes, 'I know Sir John will go, though he was sure it would rain cats and dogs'. So, 'raining cats and dogs' was a familiar idiom by the 1730s.
But we need to go back to the sixteenth century, it seems, to find the probable origins of our modern feline and canine idiom. Anatoly Liberman (in the link provided above to the debunking of the foreign origin theories) directs us to the Oxford English Dictionary, and to 'cat-bolt', where we find a quotation from Gabriel Harvey's 1592 book Pierce's Supererogation: 'In steed of thunderboltese, shooteth nothing but dogboltes, or catboltes.' This suggests that, even by the 1590s, the idea of using cats and dogs to describe extreme weather was established, and the association of 'cats and dogs' with heavy rain was one that had already been made.
In the last analysis, perhaps the true history of this phrase is one which relies on the very nonsensicality of its meaning: rather than referring to cats and dogs being uprooted from thatched roofs during bad weather (another, competing, theory), the phrase is, like the French urinating cow, a classic example of using animal imagery to exaggerate the extremeness of the weather being described. In other words, the meaning, or sense, of 'it's raining cats and dogs' lies in its lack of sense: it is glorious nonsense.

Ed Sheeran is apparently in hot water with Marvin Gaye's estate, over his 2014 song entitled "Thinking Out Loud." Marvin's estate is claiming that the song copied elements from "Let's Get it On," which Marvin wrote back in 1973 along with Ed Townsend.
"Thinking Out Loud" became Ed's first number one single and has been watched over a billion times on YouTube. It also won Song of the Year at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
Ed has not yet commented on the similarities between the songs, but he has gotten into some trouble with this type of thing in the past. Ed was sued for $20 million over his 2015 song "Photograph" for "verbatim, note-for-note copying" the song "Amazing" which was released by X Factor singer Matt Cardle.

Daily Prompt, Writing
The Stylish Stylist
Posted on September 21, 2016 by Mark Aldrich
In 1926, Henry Watson Fowler published A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, a book that has remained in print ever since. (The first edition and the second edition use Fowler's sentences; the third edition, which was published in 1996, is a substantial rewriting of the classic and uses the Fowler name as a form of brand.) Fowler's book is not a dictionary of definitions, like Johnson's or Webster's, it is a usage dictionary, an instructional manual for better using this beautiful tool we have devised called the English language.
Its entries give instructions on pronunciation, offer the pros and cons of employing a variety of idiomatic expressions, and argue again and again for simplicity in expression. Many style guides have followed—the MLA, the AP, the Chicago Manual—and each one is more useful in answering day-to-day questions about one's writing than Fowler's guide is, but none is as entertaining as his. His fight was a fight against cliché, obfuscation, and empty rhetoric. He fought for style, for clarity.
He fought against pointless rules. One might think from the description of his work that he is the reason for the commonplace rule against ending a sentence with a preposition. The opposite is true. In a two-page essay on the topic (two pages!), titled, "Preposition at end," he writes:
"It was once a cherished superstition that prepositions must be kept true to their name and placed before the word they govern in spite of the incurable English instinct for putting them late ('They are the fittest timber to make great politics of," said Bacon; and 'What are you hitting me for?' says the modern schoolboy). 'A sentence ending in a preposition is an inelegant sentence' represents what used to be a very general belief and it is not yet dead. […] The fact is that the remarkable freedom enjoyed by English in putting its prepositions late and omitting its relatives is an important element in the flexibility of the language."
Fowler then gives many examples (two pages!) of worse blunders made by pointlessly hewing to this nonexistent "prepositions go here" rule. And the way he uses his examples, for instance his pairing of the Renaissance philosopher Francis Bacon with generic "modern schoolboy," displays his desire to keep a light hand on one's writing.
His entry on the use of the word "literally" anticipates the world in which we now live, a world in which that word means almost nothing, nothing at all, in the way we use it:
"We have come to such a pass with this emphasizer that where the truth would require us to insert with a strong expression, 'Not literally, of course, but in a manner of speaking,' we do not hesitate to insert the very word that we ought to be at pains to repudiate. Such false coin makes honest traffic in words impossible." (Emphasis mine.)
The problem with the use of the word "literally" has literally bedeviled anyone who cares about precision in language for almost a century.
Fowler wanted writers to avoid using the obscure metaphor merely because it is commonly employed. Hence his entry on the idiomatic expression, "Salad Days":
"Salad days (one's raw youth) is one of the phrases whose existence depends on single passages (see Antony and Cleopatra, 'My salad days when I was green in judgement'). Whether the point is that youth, like salad, is raw, or that salad is highly flavoured and youth loves high flavours, or that innocent herbs are youth's food as milk is babes' and meat is men's, few of those who use the phrase could perhaps tell us; if so, it is fitter for parrots' than for human speech."
Avoid the empty turn of phrase unless one is making a point of the phrase's emptiness.
Fowler died on Christmas Day 1933, at the age of 75. He had recently completed his work on the first edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, a two-volume version of the full, twenty-volume, 20,000-page, Oxford English Dictionary. In 1928, a few years before his death, Oxford offered to pay the wages of a servant to help him speed the work along (dictionaries always take longer to put together than first supposed) and he refused the help in a memorable letter. At age 68, he described his average day in these words:
"My half-hour from 7:00 to 7:30 this morning was spent in (1) a two-mile run along the road, (2) a swim in my next-door neighbor's pond—exactly as some 48 years ago I used to run round the Parks and cool myself in Parson's Pleasure (an Oxford locale). That I am still in condition for such freaks I attribute to having had for nearly 30 years no servants to reduce me to a sedentary and all-literary existence. And now you seem to say: Let us give you a servant, and the means of slow suicide and quick lexicography. Not if I know it: I must go my slow way."
Help might have resulted in a faster dictionary but it would have been a "slow suicide." Fowler needed no cliché to tell Oxford that he was living in his "salad days" in the here and right-now.
Some of this first appeared two years ago.

Did the US attack Somalia?

Why did America fight in Somalia?
Why did the US send troops to Somalia in 1992?
What was the purpose of the US military raid in Somalia October 5 2013?
Did the US attack Africa?
Are there any Marines in Somalia?
Is Black Hawk Down realistic?
Was Black Hawk Down a failure?
What race is North Africa?
Two U.S. special operations servicemembers and a CIA paramilitary officer have died during operations in Somalia. In late 2020, US President Donald Trump announced that he would pull all US troops out of Somalia by 15 January 2021….American military intervention in Somalia (2007–present)
January 7, 2007 – ongoing
Location Somalia
Status Limited support as of 2021
troops unable to control Somalia's warring factions, security deteriorating, and thousands of tons of food stranded in portside warehouses, President Bush ordered a large U.S. military force to the area on December 4, 1992.
In December 1992, the United States began Operation Restore Hope. President George H.W. Bush authorized the dispatch of U.S. troops to Somalia to assist with famine relief as part of the larger United Nations effort.
The 2013 raid on Baraawe was a military operation by Seal Team Six to capture or kill Abdikadar Mohamed Abdikadar "Ikrima", a senior member of the Al-Shabaab insurgent group. It was launched in the southern town of Barawa, Somalia in October 2013…
It was the first mass involvement of US troops in the European–North African Theatre, and saw the first major airborne assault carried out by the United States….Operation Torch.
8–16 November 1942
Location French Morocco, French Algeria
Result Allied victory
AFRICOM announced Tuesday that the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group and embarked 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit — consisting of nearly 5,000 sailors and Marines — are now operating off the coast of Somalia to conduct maritime security operations with the expeditionary sea base Hershel "Woody" Williams.
From its bleak portrayal of third world countries to the gory and terrifying situations that American soldiers often find themselves in, to the almost flawless and historically accurate telling of the Battle of Mogadishu, Black Hawk Down is a very realistic and accurate picture of what American soldiers had to face …
For years, the Rangers and Delta Force soldiers who fought the Battle of Mogadishu on Oct. 3, 1993, had a serious beef. Until the publication of Mark Bowden's 1999 book, Black Hawk Down, their daylight raid was widely perceived as a failure even in strict military terms.
The largest ethnic groups in North Africa are Arabs, Berbers are considered the second largest ethnicity in north africa and West Africans are the largest ethnicity in the west and the Arabs are a majority also in the east approaching the Middle East.

Q: While reading registers in lldb, how can two different addresses point to the same object? I have been trying to debug an issue, and have been using lldb to view the values stored in the registers to help.
I have a quick question:
(lldb) register read
General Purpose Registers:
       rbx = 0x0000618000a4fc60
       rbp = 0x00007fff5fbfc690
       rsp = 0x00007fff5fbfc670
       r12 = 0x0000000000000000
       r13 = 0x0000000101a53f00
       r14 = 0x00006000000c04d0
       r15 = 0x00007fff8468e0c0  libobjc.A.dylib`objc_msgSend
       rip = 0x00007fff81a8faa1  Foundation`-[NSNotificationCenter postNotificationName:object:userInfo:] + 66
13 registers were unavailable.

(lldb) po $r13
<NSClipView: 0x101a53f00>

(lldb) po $rbx
<NSClipView: 0x101a53f00>

Why is it that even though the addresses at $r13 and $rbx are totally different, when I po both, I end up with the same object?   Namely, the address stored at $rbx just prints out the value at $r13
I am thinking that the address at $rbx is an address to a pointer (because it starts with 0x00006xxxxx?), which once dereferenced, points to the object located at the address at $r13
So is po just smart, and recognizes when an address is a pointer address, and just automatically dereferences the pointer?
I also noticed there are 3 main types of addresses that I see.
 - 0x00006xxxxxxx
 - 0x00007fffxxxx
 - 0x000000xxxxxx

I have an idea of what is what-- like I noticed that the 0x00006xxxxxxx addresses seem to be pointers to my application's objects?
But I really am not sure of anything

Contaminating the Water Environment, or even the possibility of contaminating the water environment, are significant factors in the determination of contaminated land. SEPA have recently released a new version of their 'Brown Booklet' which outlines their approach to 'Water Pollution Arising from Land Containing Chemical Contaminants' Edition 2.
Stage 3 – Establish if any linkage is resulting in, or could result in significant pollution of the water environment.
We like the extra meat on the Source-Pathway-Receptor bones which drive our industry.
Another note of interest to the Scottish Remediation Contractor is that SEPA also state that they are responsible for securing remediation of 'special sites' as defined by the Contaminated Land (Scotland) Regulations 2000. Enforcing remediation is a significant and useful power, doing so in a timely manner is another issue, and one which we hope can be addressed at some stage.


It wasn't until the suspect was secured in the patrol car that police noticed a baby sitting in a child seat in her vehicle.
During the arrest, suspect kicked an officer in the groin, reports show.
A Melbourne woman who police said was driving under the influence Monday was taken into custody after rear-ending another vehicle and kicking and peeing on an officer — all while her child was in the back seat of her car, according to reports.
Nichole Nespolini, 40, was driving erratically, screaming and cursing at another vehicle before rear-ending the car, police report. The driver of the vehicle was able to motion Nespolini to pull over, after which Nespolini continued screaming at the woman and pleading for her not to call law enforcement.
When Melbourne police arrived at the intersection of Eau Gallie Boulevard and Croton Road about 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nespolini continued to act erratically, walking into traffic and pushing an officer in the chest, reports show. At one point, she stood on her toes to yell in an officer's face, police report.
As three officers began placing the suspect in handcuffs, she said, "I'm peeing and I hope it gets on you!" according to an arrest report. The woman began urinating on an officer's foot.
While escorting Nespolini into the patrol vehicle, she kicked another officer in the groin, police report.
It wasn't until Nespolini was secured in the patrol car that police walked over to her vehicle and noticed a baby in a child seat in the back seat.
The child's father came to retrieve the baby while Nespolini was taken to a hospital for medical clearance before being booked into the Brevard County Jail.
She was charged with driving under the influence, DUI with property damage, child neglect, resisting officer with violence, resisting officer without violence and battery on a law enforcement officer. Nespolini's bond was set at $18,500.

According to a recent study, between seven and seventeen p.c of all epilepsy-related deaths square measure thanks to a complication called unforeseen sudden Death in encephalopathy (SUDEP). though SUDEP is not well understood, it's hoped that a brand new armband could facilitate stop it in its tracks.

Currently, such nocturnal seizures square measure detected victimisation motion-sensitive sensors within the patient's bed. semiconductor diode by the Netherlands' Kempenhaeghe encephalopathy centre, beside the Eindhoven University of Technology, a Dutch association launched to style a system that worked higher than such sensors.

Designed to be used by people with Associate in Nursing intellectual incapacity and severe therapy-resistant encephalopathy (who square measure notably in danger of SUDEP), the device is worn on their higher arm as they sleep. As they are doing thus, it uses optical sensors to live their pulse, beside accelerometers to discover the beating jarring movements that square measure distinctive to seizures.
If such movements square measure detected – beside Associate in Nursing abnormally quick heartbeat – the device sounds Associate in Nursing alarm and wirelessly alerts caregivers, so that they will quickly come back to the wearer's aid.
It is hoped that the NightWatch armband may cut back SUDEP deaths by 2 thirds, The device was tested on twenty eight intellectually unfit encephalopathy patients for a median of sixty five nights per patient, with video cameras additionally being employed to capture all of their nocturnal seizures. in comparison to the video footage, the NightWatch was found to with success discover eighty five p.c of all serious attacks, and ninety six p.c of the foremost severe ones. against this, a standard bed-based detector that was in addition in use solely detected twenty one p.c of the intense seizures.
Eindhoven's faculty member. Johan Arends, World Health Organization is that the leader of the study, hopes that the armband may ultimately cut back SUDEP deaths by 2 thirds. The technology is being developed by spinoff company LivAssured, and is represented in a very paper that was recently revealed within the journal Neurology.

WELLESLEY, Mass. —
After nearly six decades of helping students and parents safely cross Grove Street in Wellesley, Massachusetts, a beloved school crossing guard is retiring.
Judie Johnson helped Hunnewell Elementary School students get to and from classes on Tuesday, just as she has for 58 years. At the end of the half-day, she led the students on a march marking the last day of the school year.
Outside, students lined up for high-fives.
"She really helps me cross the street and if I'm having a bad mood, she lifts my spirits," said Caroline Jaffe, a student.
"It's hard to imagine not having her," said Kristin Deveney, a parent.
"I think anyone who's ever gone by that crossing area has seen a smile," said Wellesley Public Schools Superintendent David Lussier. "She knows people by name, she has such positivity and joy."
Johnson's farewell coincides with the decision to demolish and replace Hunnewell Elementary School.
"It's very difficult. I've often wondered what it would be that would make me stop doing it and I had no choice. So the school comes down, the heels come off and I'm done," she said.
But the district says this doesn't have to be the end of her story. She's welcome back next year, at a different crossing.
"We're hoping to see Judie maybe serve at some of our other schools," said Lussier.
Whatever the future holds, Johnson says nothing will ever be the same as her time on Grove Street.
"I don't know what else to say. It's just been totally and completely rewarding. I've loved it. Every minute of it," she said.

In an interview with Reuters yesterday, PCAOB Chairman James Doty reported that talks were expected before year-end between Chinese and U.S. officials on access to audit working papers in China. According to Reuters, Doty said that while obstacles remain, the upcoming talks could result in a "major breakthrough". However, he also told Reuters "no deal was in sight".
Companies are not required to report their financial results in their functional currency; rather they can report in any currency they wish. Multinational companies usually report in their home country currency. �It would be impossible for these companies to report unless they converted everything into a single currency. Foreign currency accounting can be quite complicated, but for most Chinese companies it is fairly simple. For those who want to dig into the details, this article provides more information.
While some of the larger U.S. listed Chinese companies use the RMB as their reporting currency, many report in U.S. dollars. I have been looking into the reasons why these companies choose to do this. Reporting in a different currency is much more work and it can distort financial reporting. People tell me that U.S. investors are more comfortable looking at U.S. dollars, but that seems to be a silly answer. I think it is because reporting in dollars makes revenue growth look better in an environment with an appreciating currency.

168 Chao K'uang-yin 趙匡胤. A.D. 927-976. The founder of the Sung dynasty. Descended from a family of officials under the T'ang dynasty, he rose to high military command under the Emperor Shih Tsung of the Later Chou dynasty. On the death of the latter he became Grand Marshal, and was entirely trusted by the mother of the boy-sovereign. The disturbed state of the empire led men to look to him for the restoration of order; and when he was sent to repel a reported inroad of the northern Han State and the Liao Tartars, his army invested him with the yellow robe at 陳橋 the Bridge of Ch'ên in K'ai-fêng Fu. He professed surprise and reluctance; but there is little doubt that he knew of the design, to which his brother and successor and Chao P'u were privy. He used his authority well. The power of the satraps was taken away, and Magistrates were appointed by the Emperor only. Of the States and Principalities into which China had split on the fall of the T'angs, only the Northern Han survived this reign, to fall in 979. Agriculture and education were fostered, and public granaries re-established. Capital sentences were in future to be confirmed by the Throne; and all chin shih were to be re-examined and to pass the final Palace examination. The Emperor had always loved study, and he impressed the need for it even on military officers, while he would have no Magistrates who were not literary men. He chose his officials with anxious care, and let them remain long in office. Personally frugal, he forbade luxury in the Palace, declaring that he held the empire as a great trust. To his fallen rivals he was kind, and in every war his one command was that there should be no slaughter nor looting, A new calendar, a revised criminal code, and an amended set of ceremonial rules, were among the many benefits he conferred upon the empire. Although he had sons, in obedience to the command of his mother he left his throne to his brother, the arrangement being that his own son should be Heir Apparent, and succeed upon the brother's death. Later writers have indeed suggested that his brother forced the Emperor to make him his heir, even using personal violence. On the other hand, he is said to have been so fond of his brother, that when the latter was cauterised for some disease, he too cauterised himself, in order to share the pain. Canonised as 英武聖文神德皇帝, with the temple name of 太祖.

White wilderness, wildlife, Inuit culture and North America's only viking settlements are among the highlights of a cruise from Greenland to the Canadian Arctic.
It's the world's largest island (that isn't also a continent) and the least-populated country on Earth.
Greenland has more boats per capita than any other country, and there is no better way to see this breathtaking country than on a cruise.
Taking the polar plunge - are you game?
Stripping off and jumping in: it takes courage to do the polar plunge.
If you want to see it in all its glory, you need to go now - before it's too late.
As the ice melts in the Arctic, new bitter-sweet frontiers for travel emerge, writes David McGonigal.
Under an arch of ice, Greenland's uninhabited coastline provides a burst of colour, as Robyn Wootton discovers.
After the drama, the investigaton of what disabled a ship in the Gulf of Mexico begins.

Lord Gill the Flouncing Fool 208
16 Apr, 2015 in Uncategorized by craig
The Lord President of Scotland's judges, Lord Gill, has made a complete fool of himself by leading British judges in a walk-out from the Commonwealth Law Conference. The action is in protest against Julian Assange's participation by video-link in a panel discussion on surveillance and the role of the security services.
The walk-out happened after Julian's talk, not before it, which rather gives the impression that what Lord Gill and his fellow judges objected to was the content of Assange's talk, rather than the fact of it. Assange stated among other points that nationalists were right to believe that MI5 were active against them in the referendum campaign.
The Assange talk proved extremely popular with lawyers and judges from all over the Commonwealth. In fact it had to be shifted to a larger room to accommodate them all. So it seems Lord Gill's disinterest in the concept of freedom of speech is not widely shared in the Commonwealth.
What Gill and his Scottish and English colleagues could have done – and I presume actually did – was to boycott the Assange panel and simply attend other panels on at the same time. What they have now done is to boycott all the panels happening after the Assange talk is gone, at some of which some of the boycotters were due to be talking or chairing, as an attempt to mess up the conference as some childish kind of spiteful revenge.
The members of the English Supreme Court who took part in this action have demonstrated their extreme prejudice against Assange – who has exercised his right in law to claim political asylum and who has never been charged with anything.
Julian has today told me that he is concerned that their action is also prejudicial to the cases currently before the Swedish Supreme Court and the UN Committee on Arbitrary Detention. Quite why the English and Scottish judges were moved to this peculiar display of prejudice is not immediately clear; I suspect they were pushed. Lord Gill is an interesting example of the self-made lackey. If you always promote the interests of the Establishment, even a man of talent but humble origins can get to the top, provided he is an entirely unscrupulous character.
In an effort to make Lord Gill and the judges look less like asses, it is being assiduously put about that they did not know Julian was going to speak before his appearance, and he unexpectedly appeared at the session. That this is a blatant lie is easily proved. Julian's appearance was at short notice – a week. His name was in the conference programme, and the event was announced in the Scottish Legal press the day before it happened. Everyone at the conference knew Assange was appearing, that is why the room had to be changed for a larger one.
That our judges are not just asses but lying asses ought to be the source of some concern. Where is Lallands Peat Worrier when you need him?

A cousin of mine worked for the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Department of Labor in the U.S. government in Washington D.C. back in the 1980's. He confessed to me once that a lot of their numbers were just made up. When they didn't have the numbers on the date that they were due, they thought up numbers that would look plausible to their bosses.
I suspect that it's much worse now, that the economic statistics are massaged for political reasons just as much as they were in the old Communist regimes.

And there has been a deliberate and highly organised effort to split thousands of full time jobs into two or more zero hour hirings, further giving rise to false falling unemployment statistics. But the FOIs and janners in the Labour Party are in there only for one purpose, and it aint what the meat pie eating mancunian socialist dumbos are there for.

Now here's an interesting case . Despite suffering severe dementia a man was found guilty in his absence of abusing under age girls . We have a precedent , but not applied to Lord Janner .
John Spencer-Davis April 18, 2015 at 00:50
I have posted this from the article you linked to.
"Jurors heard the trial in Collingwood's absence after being told he suffers from severe dementia.
The jury forewoman, giving her verdicts, was required to say she found Collingwood "did the act charged" rather than being "guilty", due to him not standing trial.
They were told, after the verdict, that he is currently in hospital under a Mental Health Act order, and his future will be decided at a further hearing."
This suggests to me that the legal proceeding here is a "trial of the facts", which is what Sir Clive Loader, Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire, is talking about in a link Mary posted, and I discussed, on the previous thread.
I am quite angry, now, that a "trial of the facts" has not been ordered by the DPP. I said that I thought the DPP had reached the right decision. I did not know that an alternative to a jury trial was possible, and now I do, I no longer think that. I can't see why a trial of the facts could not be possible for Lord Janner. It would give his alleged victims the opportunity to have their testimony heard by a judge and jury.

I was cycling along a path beside a railway line in Romania going for provisions and got a terrible feeling of gloom and doom and tragedy which was inexplicable. When I got back it was on the nesw about the twin towers.
This morning somebody posted a picture of the Godfather looking quizzical and saying something to the effect: "Tell me again! They recovered a passport and bandana. But they never recovered any of the black boxes?"
That is "on the news" not north, east, south, west. Bloody gremlins are almost as bad as the trolls.

On the feeling that we're no-longer seeing 'journalism' but 'churnalism', that the media doesn't tell our truth, that politicos are lying, that the establishment is hiding things – how does one question these positions of power?
One way is to ask an expert and historian, I'm thinking more Pliny the elder style, than the pervasive Public Relationists all trying to become one of the chosen 650 in Westminster
so Salon.Com, a U.S. Newspaper have interviewed a historian, on the mess that we are in, and he tells an interesting, cogent and worrying tale. Part one is here, http://www.salon.com/topic/stephen_f_cohen/
Part two next week. ( I never knew that Yeltsin actually wasn't the winner when he was 'elected' )
Other U.S. media don't like this particular historian, but for balance one should always read widely
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/foreigners/2014/07/stephen_cohen_vladimir_putin_s_apologist_the_nation_just_published_the_most.html
In Europe, in the country formerly known as Ukraine, it's now getting to the stage where people are being suicided/murdered who members of my family have previously met, judged and admired. That's seriously shocking and does not bode well for the future. That my family should be directly affected by the actions of "The Ministry of Forgetting" is still surprising me, they are 3662 miles away, I suppose it just proves the saying that "it's a small world"
At least there is some relatively good news in Russia that some of the tiny & fragmented opposition parties are merging, this is a good sign as in all administrations the politicos & establishments do need balancing opposition, except perhaps in Kiev? Is it illegal yet in the UK to write or think or comment about this sad warped 'history' that we see developing?

Strangely enough Johhny Goosestep kept quiet through all of this – and even praised Putin while it was happening. The smell of hypocrisy is totally overpowering. Nothing more to add.

I do so agree, Hilde. All that wasteful and useless campaigning – why bother to have elections when it would be so much better just to have the same lot in power for ever! Provided of course that it's your lot.
Oh, what a dreary and unself-aware person you are!

I can't quite work out whether you are trying to suck up to our transatlantic Greatsman (allegedly) by mentioning him or whether you are trying to annoy said transatlantic Greatsman (still allegedly) by referring to a Roman rather than to an Athenian.
Please clarify.

Why was Greville Janner not prosecuted over allegations of child abuse, and is it right that he should face no trial now? His family say he's is a man of great integrity and high repute with a long and unblemished record of public service. He is entirely innocent of any wrongdoing. But the Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders, has told nine alleged victims of the 86-year-old politician that a new police investigation had gathered enough evidence to charge him with 22 offences – but because he has Alzheimer's the DPP has decided no trial is possible. That decision has been bitterly criticised, not least by the police in Leicester, who've been in charge of the investigation. The DPP also admitted that there were opportunities to prosecute Lord Janner in the past but those opportunities had been missed. One of the them was in 2007 when the Crown Prosecution Service were contacted by the Leicester police but took no action indeed the file was not passed from Leicester to the CPS in London. Lord McDonald – who as Ken McDonald, was the Director of Public Prosecutions at the time.

@John Goss
I do appreciate your many postings to get to the bottom with the unfair treatment of Assange by Swedish authorities and media. But it is depressing to see your posts on Ukraine. Russia took Crimea against all international law. The Crimean tartars boycotted the referendum which took place after de facto military take over. Imperial behaviour, wasn't it?
What would you say if Germany wanted the Kalingrad region back with the argument that it had been German for centuries? I hope you would fight it. But you don't care about the annexation of Crimea. Where are your princxiples?
Axel, apologies, I missed the comment above. I agree that the Tatars have rights but they are only a very small community within Crimea. The referendum was overwhelmingly in favour of becoming part of Russia, and anyway Russia has a naval base there which it needs to defend. I'm sorry you see things differently. I also believe in governments being elected, not seizing power in a coup. I cannot defend this dictatorship any more than I could the ones in Europe in the thirties, or Chile under Pinochet. Sorry. Fascists do not do it for me.
Axel, in the documentary in which Putin defends his position over Crimea (well worth watching) he says that Russian troops in Crimea were entitled to be there, and in fact Russia was entitled to have more troops there than there were, so no I do not think it was imperialism. What I think is imperialism is what the US does, creating wars all over the world. I seek to defend justice.
The fascism has extended to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra prohibiting Valentina Lisitsa from appearing because of her defence of her fellow Ukrainians who have been bombed by the AZOV and other Kiev forces.

"In Sweden consensual sex appears to go under the name 'rape' of which there are several categories if my understanding is correct."
Yet another John Goss moment for the collectors of such junk. I dare him to repeat those words at the next Left Unity meeting he infiltrates.
Or perhaps he could post them on one of their comment forums?
"I agree that the Tatars have rights but they are only a very small community within Crimea."
So that makes everything ok then – how small is very small – what about their leader being excluded and their subsequent silencing within Crimea. Real ends justify the means stuff I'm afraid.
Given that Mr Goss is worried about cultural boycotts perhaps he might wish to comment on these cases of censorship by the "decent" Mr Putin
http://www.interpretermag.com/ten-films-moscow-wont-let-russians-see-and-why-russians-will-as-a-result/
John: "I agree that the Tatars have rights but they are only a very small community within Crimea."
About 12% presently. This is the result of ethnic cleansing. In 1944, May 17-18, a quarter of a millinon Crimean Tartars were forced out of Crimea by force by Soviet authorities. Many of them died on the way to Central Asia. They were accused of being fascists by Soviet authorities, an abuse of the struggle against fascism, which comes easy, unfortunately, from Soviet and Russian authorities ever since.
The annexation of Crimea will poison European relations for decades to come, I fear.
