David Fedeli
David J. Fedeli (Born, 1959) - Largely a self-taught artist, David demonstrated natural artistic abilities at a very young age, having his sketches publicly displayed from the early age of 10. He studied Graphic Arts & Fine Arts at 3 Colleges in San Diego in the early 80's while working as a Graphic Designer. Discontent with the slow pace of the classroom, he abandoned school and continued working in the Graphic Arts industry. During the next 15 years he focused on developing his technical skills and worked successfully as a free-lance designer and industry professional. Throughout this period, his artwork took on many forms, as he was striving to find the right outlet for his creativity. In 2000, he met and became friends with Robert Watson, an American artist with an international reputation. Recognizing his abilities, Mr. Watson took him under wing, and provided David with the direction and focus he had been seeking for so long. David studied with artist Robert Watson for 4 years, until his passing. He reflects that during this time, he learned more about the world of art, both the mental aspect and physical skills, than he had learned in all his years of school. Watson's unconventional approach to teaching struck a chord with David, and the results were immediate. David's style reflects what he learned, falling into the category of surrealism and neo-romanticism.
"I believe that as an artist, it is not my purpose to dictate what the viewer sees on the canvas, but rather to pose a question that causes them to seek an answer within themselves. Each individual brings their own life experiences into the decision, and for each of them the meaning is truly unique. My passion lies in reaching that inner self, and drawing it into, and out of, my art. My goal is to create a moment that touches their soul."

Students' behavior surrounding Tide Pods threatens Ross business relationship

A representative of Procter & Gamble Co. visited the University of Michigan on Jan. 22 to lecture Ross School of Business students on marketing tactics and its role as part of the Tide brand. However, the lecture went awry after the students attending asked questions centered almost exclusively around popular phenomenon Tide Pods. Ross students have since said they were told the questions jeopardized the business schools's relationship with P&G.
While the representative, Business alum Courtney Ratkowiak, opened the floor for questions related to marketing, students, utilizing the anonymous feature of the question-app Pigeonhole Live, sent in a number of questions based on a popular meme centered around millennials eating Tide Pods.
P&G is an American multinational consumer goods corporation. They own a series of brands including Gillette, Old Spice, Febreze and Tide, among others. P&G has had a longstanding recruiting relationship with the Business School.
The lecture took place outside of normal class hours on a Monday night, and included a mix of Business students and non-Business students. According to a junior who wished to remain anonymous, the fact the lecture occurred outside of the class schedule contributed to the students' attitude.
Some of the highest voted questions included: "What new flavors of tide pods do you have coming out?" and "How many tide pods a day keep the doctor away?"
"The problem was they used this anonymous app called Pigeonhole," the anonymous junior said. "I think that was where they went wrong; as soon as they did that for the first time, the dynamic of the presentation changed."
According to the junior, attendees wanted to post something funny as the questions continued. The representative appeared to be flustered, and skimmed over the joke-questions, answering only the serious ones.
"I definitely think most people, including myself, walked out of the presentation thinking that it was funny," the junior said. "Then they told us P&G was reconsidering a relationship with Ross, and that jeopardizes people's chances of working for them, and for the most part everyone was galvanized to be like 'Oh, we need to do something about this.'"
In fact, not long after the lecture had commenced, course instructor Burcu Tasoluk emailed the students informing them of P&G's reaction to the students' questions and behavior during the lecture.
The email, obtained by The Daily, noted hosting guest speakers is a privilege and presents an opportunity to hear valuable information from business professionals. It also referenced the Ross Student Code of Conduct and Statement of Community Values, encouraging students to adhere to the prescribed guidelines for behavior.
"(We) received correspondence from P&G following Monday's lecture indicating disappointment with students' inappropriate questions during the Q&A and their conduct thereafter (including on social media)," the email read. "Such behavior is disrespectful to the speaker, and reflects poorly on us, Ross, and the University of Michigan."
File Photo/Daily
When students next attended class, they were informed of P&G's response to the guest lecture and instructed to form an action plan on how to remedy the relationship with P&G. Students broke into groups and brainstormed ways to reach out to P&G.
The main goal of the action plan as outlined in the marketing class was to "reflect acknowledgment, ownership, and accountability of what happened." A small task force of students wrote an apology letter to the P&G guest lecturer.
According to Business junior Connor Baechler, the incident negatively impacted students who wanted to start careers or internships with P&G. However, the recent Tide Pod memes had such a wide reach that Baechler thought the questions were almost inevitable.
"On one hand, it is disappointing that current Ross students would disrespect a Ross alum during a serious presentation, even if it appeared to many that the presenter was not flustered by the inappropriate student responses," Baechler told The Daily in an email interview. "Furthermore, P&G is a crucial recruiting partner for Ross and its status as a top business school, and the company expects strong candidates from the school in return. I feel especially sorry for any Ross students who are actively interested in starting their careers at P&G... (but) from another perspective, the timing of such a presentation (for a Tide product!) could not have been worse, with all the memes and spoofs about the 'Tide Pod Challenge' floating around social media. I do not think P&G executives or Ross administrators could understand how prevalent the joke had become to any college student, not just Ross."
Carolyn Yoon, Business professor of marketing and course coordinator, stated the Business School will use this situation as a case study and learning opportunity for students tasked with maintaining professional relationships in the future.
"What happened in the marketing course that day is not indicative of who our students are or our culture, and P&G understands that," Yoon said. "We look forward to maintaining our partnership with P&G, as well as our many other corporate partners."

Q: Move dom elements in loop We have a page that lists the items in a user's cart.  Links are presented with each item for the actions Edit and Remove.  We'd like to test the placement of the Edit link by placing it above the remove link using javascript, however I'm not sure how to do it when there are an unknown number of items that could exist within the user's cart.
A snippet from the dom is below:

Item 1 name

Color:

Blue

Edit

        QTY:1

Remove Item

Item 2 name

Color:

Black

Edit

        QTY:1

Remove Item

The desired state moves each Edit link to within a new p element above the existing p element that contains Remove Item link.

A: This should do it:
  $('.item-table').each(function() {
      var deleteItem = $(this).find('.delete-item');
      var editItem = $('

').append($(this).find('.edit'));
      $(deleteItem).before($(editItem));
  });

A: This should do the trick, if you can use jQuery:
$('.item-table .item').each(function() {
  $(this).find('.edit').insertBefore($(this).next('.item-qty').find('.delete-item'));
});

Basically, you need to loop through each .item in .item-table. Once you have the .item, you need to find the .edit element and use insertBefore to find the respective .delete-item node and insert the selected .edit node before it.
Here's a working example with jQuery and the actual results.

The Faceless Man Game is a weekend-long Ice & Fire Con event that requires pre-convention sign up.
Kill as many assassination targets as you can while staying alive and drawing the least attention to yourself.
Your confirmation email will be sent shortly after sign-ups close and will include a PDF file of all participants (their names, pictures, and costume list if applicable) as well as the name of your first target. Review your target and their known disguises carefully prior to the convention – you want to be familiar with their appearance!
We highly suggest keeping this file with you throughout Ice & Fire Con weekend, whether electronic or printed (or both); how you decide to carry it is up to you, but remember, parchment is precious and the rustling of it could very well give you away!
You will pick up your 'stabbing weapon' when you check in at Ice & Fire Con registration. Please plan on showing your confirmation email (either on your device or a printout) to the volunteers working the registration table in order to procure said weapon.
This man is called Brian Eidolon. This man can answer any Faceless Man-related questions that may come up during the weekend. However, you would be wise to speak with this man discreetly about such matters, lest bystanders in the vicinity overhear and realize that you are Faceless. The more people who know you are participating in the Faceless Man Assassin Game, the harder it will be for you to prevail.
You are free to attempt to kill your target any time after 9:00 PM on Thursday, April 25, 2019.
If you succeed in killing your target, you will immediately acquire their target. You must register your kill and your new target by sending a text message to Brian Eidolon (phone number to be provided in further instructions) before proceeding to your new target.
You are also free to defend yourself from assassination. Please see below for details.
The game continues until only one Faceless Man remains, or until 12 Noon on Sunday April 28, 2019.
Prizes will be distributed Sunday April 28th during the Ice & Fire Con Closing Ceremonies (scheduled to begin at 2 PM).
All men must die, but not all men must die willingly.
You can draw your own stabbing weapon and try to stab them first or scare them away.
You can try to leave the area until you are better prepared – and now you know who you've likely been assigned to as a target!
You can do nothing and hope that someone else is their target and not you, or that somewhere nearby who might witness the attempted kill is a member of the City Watch and will be willing to report the assassin to Brian Eidolon.
If you successfully kill the person who is trying to assassinate you, you don't need to do anything else other than continue on your own mission.
Yes, this is important too.
Once you have been assassinated and your attacker makes themselves known to you by telling you "Valar Morghulis", immediately reveal your current target's information to them.
It is very important to keep a copy of the participant dossier on your person (or immediately available). If you are killed, you must be able to point out your target on the dossier to your killer without undue delay. If for whatever reason you do not have your dossier with you, please help your killer identify who their next target is (whoever your target was).
Send a text message to Brian Eidolon (phone number to be provided in further instructions) and let him know that you've been killed by your target ("I, [Your Name], have been killed by my target, [Target's Name]").
NO MATTER HOW YOU DIE, BE HONORABLE. DO NOT LOUDLY ANNOUNCE OR INDICATE TO ANYONE ELSE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN KILLED, OR ESPECIALLY WHO KILLED YOU. THE HONOR OF THE HOUSE OF BLACK AND WHITE COMES BEFORE YOUR PRIDE.
In addition to the Faceless Men, there are also designated members of the City Watch. These keepers of the peace will patrol the lodge and surrounding grounds attempting to locate Faceless Men. Members of the City Watch are undercover and will not make themselves known to you. Anyone could be a member.
If they see you with a Faceless Man weapon, they may yell and alert others of your identity. Similarly, they may report you to the House of Black and White (Brian Eidolon). Do not run about like a common brigand making your intentions common knowledge. Plays keep they business on the down low. Conceal, don't feel. A Faceless Man acts from the shadows.
Reports to the House of Back and White of your activities are undesired and will have negative consequences.
Sign ups for Faceless Man 2019 are now closed.

Home Unlabelled Greece Artist / Producer Giannis Louloudis is "Workin"
Greece Artist / Producer Giannis Louloudis is "Workin"
By HipHopOnDeck At June 24, 2021 0
"When I started out, my grandfather gave me a computer and 800 Euros. This set me up and gave me the tools to start producing & recording myself. Nowadays you don't have to book studio time, you can just download logic and do it from your bedroom," says Giannis.
Giannis established an interest in music from a tender age and has just recently produced songs for release as an executive producer. Workin', a street rap style single by the artist, goes hard on a trap beat with a punchy, mellow hook. His other debut singles include Best One and Love Me Good. The latter is an enthusiastic Hip Hop/RnB track featuring vivid vocal performances by a featuring act and smooth rap vibes. Giannis is definitely an act to watch which is attributed to his mashup of gifts in music and business.
Giannis Loud is a 17-year old artist & producer from Greece. His greatest strength was exactly how opened he appeared. "Workin" is an extremely raw introduction to the connection he has with his father. He explores his vices, his fears, his blackness, his thoughts of self-destruction, and more touching subjects with an unyielding sincerity. He was a brand-new artist, with a record that permitted the listener to see him for who he is. I find that the people who were most touched, seemed to be reaching their twenties, discovering a kindred spirit & wordsmith.

Professional Ethics Resource Center
One of the cornerstones of the profession of public accountancy is the high ethical standards of its members. Such standards are set forth in the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct (the "Code"). While high ethical standards are essential in achieving public trust and confidence, such trust can be maintained only if the public is confident that the profession can regulate itself and discipline those members who violate or ignore the Code.
The AICPA adopted a revised Code that became effective December 15, 2014. The Conceptual Framework for Members in Business and the Conceptual Framework for Members in Public Practice effective December 15, 2015.
For updates to the Code, see the Table of Contents, Appendix C - Revision History Table.
Effective May 16, 2013, the NYSSCPA Adopted the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct.
Although since replaced by the AICPA Code, the last version of the NYSSCPA Code of Professional Conduct was adopted in March 2013 and can be found here. Prior historical versions of the NYSSCPA Code of Professional Conduct are available upon request.
I. Professional Ethics Introduction
II. Who We Are
III. Committee Objectives
IV. Committee Structure
V. Frequency and Conduct of Meetings
VI. Fee Disputes
VII. The Joint Ethics Enforcement Program (JEEP)
VIII. CPE Requirements for New York State-Licensed CPAs (Including Ethics CPE)
IX. Who to Contact with Independence and Ethics Inquiries
X. What to Do If You Are Being Investigated
XI. Ethics Investigation Process
XII. Explanation of Ethics Sanctions
XIII. Concurrence
As the first state society established in the United States, the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants ("NYSSCPA" or "Society") continues to play a leading role in the development and promotion of high ethical standards within the profession. The Society's bylaws state that the membership shall be bound by the Society's Code; however, it is advisable for Society members who are also members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") to apprise themselves of the applicable laws and related regulations of governmental agencies that regulate certified public accountants in the United States.
The Code was adopted by the Society membership to provide guidance and rules to all members. This applies to members in public practice, members in business, and all other members, such as those members who are retired or unemployed.
Compliance with the Code, as with all standards, depends primarily on members' understanding and voluntary actions; secondarily, on reinforcement by peers and public opinion; and ultimately, on disciplinary proceedings, when necessary, against members who fail to comply with the Code.
The best defense against ethics complaints or allegations of misconduct is prevention. Learn and apply the rules of ethical behavior. Be professionally competent, be diligent about continuing professional education (CPE), and take advantage of the Society's members-only technical hotline
The Professional Ethics Committee ("PEC") is a standing committee within the Operations Division of the Society. Its authority is defined in Article XIII (Professional Conduct and Disciplinary Proceedings) of the Society's bylaws.
The Society, through its PEC, educates and provides guidance to its members on ethical behavior and standards, and ensures members' adherence thereto by considering complaints, and jointly with the AICPA, disciplining those who violate or ignore the rules. The Society is a participant in the Joint Ethics Enforcement Program (JEEP) of the AICPA, (See Joint Ethics Enforcement Program Manual of Procedures ("JEEP Manual")) and the Professional Ethics Committee Procedures Manual.
Effective June 2012, the Society changed its election from conducting investigations as an Option 1 state society, to a concurring only committee as an Option 2 state society, thereby transferring the task of conducting investigations to the AICPA Professional Ethics Division.
Specifically, the duties and responsibilities of the PEC include, but are not limited to:
Reviewing and drafting responses to proposed ethics rules and interpretations proposed by the AICPA and others.
Proposing strategic direction for the PEC;
Monitoring and proposing updates to the Society's website;
Developing and implementing member education ethics programs;
Addressing issues relating to furtherance of the PEC missions, including changes to the Code;
Providing revisions of the Society's bylaws when necessary.
The PEC is composed of experienced volunteer Society members representing diverse practices, from sole practitioners, to large international accounting firms, including but not limited to accounting, auditing, tax, consulting, and valuation services. The PEC has one chair, and one vice chair. The chair generally carries a two-year term. The PEC is also supported by two members of the NYSSCPA staff, consisting of Counsel and an Ethics Coordinator.
The PEC generally meets bimonthly and conducts conference calls on months where no meetings are scheduled. Additional meetings may be called by the chair, as necessary. All deliberations on active case investigations and other enforcement matters are held in executive sessions, which are closed to non-PEC members due to confidentiality requirements. Meeting dates and minutes of open sessions are posted on this site, here.
As a general rule, complaints involving fee disputes are not investigated by the AICPA. However, if it is determined that a fee dispute includes allegations of professional misconduct, an investigation of those allegations may be initiated.
JEEP is an AICPA/state society program for ethics enforcement that has existed since the early 1970s. The AICPA established JEEP in order to avoid duplicate investigations and enforcement of a potential disciplinary matter by the AICPA Professional Ethics Division and the ethics committees of one or more state societies.
The NYSSCPA PEC participates in the JEEP program pursuant to an agreement between the Society and the AICPA. Whether or not a Society member is a member of the AICPA, the JEEP agreement provides that investigations of potential disciplinary matters are to be conducted in accordance with JEEP procedures, with limited exceptions. In all investigations, the PEC is bound by NYSSCPA bylaws. The procedures following an investigation will either be comprised of the JEEP Manual (for all investigations beginning after May 2012) or the Professional Ethics Committee Procedures Manual (for all investigations commencing prior to June 2012). The Professional Ethics Committee Procedures Manual and the JEEP Manual provides that in the event that a hearing is required to dispose of charges, such hearing shall be conducted by AICPA's Joint Trial Board under the operative "Rules of Procedure and Practice" of the Joint Trial Board.
VIII. CPE Requirements for New York State CPAs (includes Ethics CPE)
A New York State CPA can meet annual CPE requirements by electing to complete either 40 contact hours in a combination of any recognized subject area approved by the New York State Education Department, or 24 contact hours concentrated in one of the recognized subject areas. (CPE Requirements in New York State) (Continuing Education) In addition, four credits of acceptable professional ethics courses must be completed during every three calendar years and may be counted toward the 24 or 40 CPE credit requirements in the calendar year that the ethics course is completed. For more information, see "MCE Questions and Answers" on the New York State Education Department's website (NYS Public Accountancy - Continuing Education)
The New York State Education Department requires that CPE be reported on a calendar year basis, regardless of the licensee's triennial registration period.
NYSSCPA staff is available by phone or e-mail to provide assistance with processing a complaint. If your complaint is CPE related, please contact Reva Brennan at (212) 719-8318 or rbrennan@nysscpa.org. For all other inquiries, contact Becca Huber at rhuber@nysscpa.org.
The AICPA's Ethics Hotline may also be consulted on independence and ethics issues at 888-777-7077, menu option number 6 or via email at ethics@aicpa.org. In addition, if your question has New York regulatory implications, you should contact the New York State Board for Public Accountancy for answers to questions concerning practice issues or continuing professional education requirements at:
NY State Education Department
State Board for Public Accountancy
Albany, New York 12234-1000
518-474-3817, ext. 160 (voice)
csrbd@nysed.gov
After determining that a complaint warrants further investigation, the AICPA Professional Ethics Division sends an "opening letter" to the member who was identified in the complaint (the "respondent"). The respondent is required to respond in writing to interrogatories in the opening letter within the time period specified, usually 30 days. The respondent should review the rules of conduct that are alleged to have been violated. It is helpful for the respondent to include any additional information that is relevant to the matter and any evidence to support the response. Failure to cooperate in an investigation is a violation of the Code that can result in the possible expulsion from membership.
A number of options are available to respondents, including the right:
to retain legal counsel without prejudice;
to an interview conducted by the AICPA Professional Ethics Division;
to be represented by legal counsel, by a reasonable number of representatives of his or her firm, by the firm's legal counsel, by any individual the respondent chooses, or by any combination thereof at a personal interview;
to have the investigation deferred if the issues and parties involved are the subject of litigation or a regulatory proceeding;
to reject a letter of required corrective action. If rejected by the respondent, the matter may be referred to the Joint Trial Board for a hearing, or a decision may be made on whether no further action will be taken; or
to reject a proposed settlement agreement. If rejected the matter is referred to the Joint Trial Board for further action.
AICPA Professional Ethics Division staff will conduct an initial review of complaints, including those received by the NYSSCPA and, if actionable, an AICPA Technical Manager will be assigned to investigate the complaint in accordance with the Joint Ethics Enforcement Program (JEEP) Manual of Procedures. Upon conclusion of an investigation, the AICPA Technical Manager assigned to the case presents a case summary to a quorum of the PEC with recommendations on violations and sanctions. A majority of the PEC quorum must concur with the proposed violations and sanctions. Findings that do not require concurrence by the PEC are: "no further action," because no evidence of a violation was obtained, or "no violation," based upon a finding of no prima facie evidence of a violation of the Code or bylaws. If new information becomes available, an investigation may be re-opened. The disciplinary action imposed for a violation may include a confidential letter of required corrective action (RCA). An RCA is remedial in nature and is not published. Failure to comply with the directives in an RCA can result in expulsion from the Society, with publications.
Investigations are conducted in a confidential manner; however, the PEC is required to publish certain disciplinary actions (expulsion, suspension, or admonishment) in a Society publication pursuant to Bylaw section XIII.15. The PEC is also required to disclose the conclusion of an investigation to the New York State Education Department and any other regulatory agencies under Bylaw Article XIII.19, upon occurrence of specified events in an investigation. See bylaws, Article XIII.19, effective May 10, 2012.
The PEC may also concur on a settlement agreement to expel, suspend, or admonish. Settlement agreements require the approval of the Joint Trial Board of the AICPA, but may be rejected by the respondent. Upon rejection, the case will be referred to the Joint Trial Board for a hearing and final decision.If a violation is of sufficient gravity to warrant formal disciplinary action, a referral to the Joint Trial Board may be recommended. The secretary of the Joint Trial Board will summon the respondent to appear at a hearing. The PEC cannot appeal a "not guilty" decision of a hearing panel; however, the respondent has a right to appeal a "guilty" decision of a hearing panell.
Members whose convictions of crimes punishable by imprisonment for more than one year, of the willful failure to file income tax returns, of filing false or fraudulent income tax returns, and of the willful aiding in the preparation or presentation of a false or fraudulent income tax return of a client, becomes final, or whose CPA licenses are revoked or impaired, are automatically. expelled under the Society bylaws, without a hearing.
Three bylaw provisions under Article XII became effective May 10, 2012: XIII.5 Automatic discipline; XIII.6 Disciplinary action without a hearing; and XIII.7 Timely written petition.
Expelled or Suspended
A member may be subject to suspension from membership for a certain period through a Settlement Agreement entered into with the member and approved by the Joint Trial Board. During the suspension period, members must not identify themselves as a Society member on any letterhead or other written material, and may not vote, or hold a committee position or an office in the Society. During suspension, a member may be directed to complete specific CPE courses or take other actions (e.g. submit examples of his or her subsequent work product for review or a pre-issuance review of engagements may be imposed).
According to Society bylaws, a suspended member's participation in any Society-sponsored insurance program may continue during the period of suspension provided the suspended member continues to pay the Society membership dues and the premiums for such insurance coverage. The member's existing insurance coverage may not be increased during the suspension period.
Pursuant to Society Bylaw Article XIII.2, a member can be automatically expelled or suspended without a hearing as a result of the member's conviction of: a) a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than one year under the law of the convicting jurisdiction; b) the willful failure to file any income tax return which they are required by law to file; c) the filing of a false or fraudulent income tax return; or d) the willful aiding in the preparation and presentation of a false and fraudulent income tax return of a client. The suspension automatically shall become an expulsion from membership upon the filing of a final judgment of conviction and shall automatically be vacated if a reversal of the conviction becomes final. The Board of Directors, with or without a hearing, may consider a timely written petition by the PEC or the member that the member should not be automatically disciplined pursuant to paragraphs 3,4,5, or 6 of Bylaw Article XIII.
The Society bylaws also require that if any member's CPA license is suspended or revoked or otherwise impaired by a political authority issuing said license, the suspension or revocation, withdrawal, surrender, indefinite suspension, or cancellation as a disciplinary measure or in connection therewith shall automatically effect, respectively, the suspension (for the same length of time) or the expulsion of such member from the Society.
Publication of an expulsion and suspension is mandatory under Bylaw Article XIII.15. The publication appears in The Trusted Professional.
Admonishment or Censure
Publication of admonishment or censure of a member who enters into a Settlement Agreement is mandatory under Bylaw Article XIII.15. The publication appears in The Trusted Professional
Required Corrective Action (RCA)
The AICPA Professional Ethics Division, with PEC concurrence, issues letters of required corrective action when the violation is not of sufficient gravity to warrant suspension, expulsion, admonishment, censure or referral to trial board.
A letter of required corrective action may direct a member to comply with one or more of the following: successful completion of specific CPE courses, submission of examples of his or her subsequent work for review or a pre-issuance review(s) of engagements may be imposed.
The terms of letters of required corrective action are not published; however, upon rejection by the member of an RCA, an AICPA subcommittee would then decide whether to refer the matter to the Joint Trial Board or whether no further action would be taken.
In any investigation conducted by the AICPA Professional Ethics Division, where concurrence is not obtained from the PEC on a settlement agreement or letter of required corrective action, the PEC may decide to separately issue the settlement agreement or letter of required corrective action in which case, any reference to the AICPA will be removed.
Disciplinary Matters
Members who have been admonished, suspended or terminated for violations of the Code of Conduct are posted online for a specified period of time.

I want to provide a brief update and explanation for why I have not been posting much material for the last few months. I am currently working on several projects which has reduced the extra time I have to find or write material to publish on this website.
I am currently studying and improving my Spanish to take the California State Court Interpreter Oral Exam at the end of March, which requires me to learn many legal terms in Spanish as well as Spanish slang and idioms. I am also planning to start an online 9 month translation program from Brazil next month to improve my Portuguese translation and language abilities, and Lord willing take the Court Interpreter oral exam for Portuguese later in the fall of 2017. I am also currently working on my first writing project, contributing a chapter to a book that discusses the flood and several linguistic aspects of the text. All these goals along with working have slowed down my ability to publish frequently on this website. After I finish most of these projects later this year I anticipate to resume a more steady pace of regularly uploading content, but during these projects I will occasionally upload content as I have time to do so. Also I plan on adding more Spanish and Portuguese content after finishing these certification tests and studies, so that the resources on this website can reach a larger audience and provide resources that are very difficult to find outside of the English language.

The nature and dynamics of interactivity between consumers and organizations continue to evolve at a rapid pace (Ghazali et al. 2016). Specifically, while these interactions are gaining prominence in terms of marketing and customer relationship management, consumers are simultaneously gaining increasing influence in the online sphere (Malthouse et al. 2013; Kaplan and Haenlein 2010; De Vries et al. 2012). Contemporary consumers, for instance, are highly likely to consider product or brand-related information provided by other consumers, rather than relying exclusively on marketing material (Hanna et al. 2011). At the same time, today's digital consumers expect their preferences to be center stage for the companies they choose to purchase from through collaborative, personalized interactions (Munnukka and Järvi 2014; Greenberg 2010). It has thus become crucial for companies to create a superior consumer experience, which can be leveraged by fostering enhanced consumer engagement, and which, in turn, is expected to generate enhanced customer loyalty (Brodie et al. 2013).
Consumer needs for interactive, collaborative, and personalized interactions have been strongly influenced by the rapid proliferation of social media, which provide a new mode of communication and interaction, not only among consumers, but also between consumers and brands (Hollebeek et al. 2014; Sasser et al. 2014). Social media comprise a group of internet-based applications building on the concept of web 2.0 that encourage user connection, participation, and collaboration, and the sharing of content (Musser and O'Reilly 2007). Examples of social media include social networks (e.g., Facebook), (micro)blogs (e.g., Twitter), collaborative projects (e.g., Wikipedia), content communities (e.g., YouTube), virtual worlds (e.g., Second Life), and games (e.g., World of Warcraft; Kaplan and Haenlein 2010). Leading companies, including Google, have created extensive engagement platforms comprising services ranging from mobile apps (e.g., Google Play), to physical devices (e.g., Google Glass; Breidbach et al. 2014; Brodie et al. 2016). In addition, firms are increasingly turning to social commerce; that is, social media-enabled sales channels (Baethge et al. 2016).
Social media have transformed the nature and practice of online communication into an extensive, two-way dialog among users, which may cover private and/or social topics and issues, as well as about companies' products, brands and services (Lehmkuhl and Jung 2013). Networked consumers no longer merely act as passive recipients of product-, brand- or firm-related information, but are enabled to create, modify and exchange their own, personalized content and applications through social media (Kaplan and Haenlein 2010; Hollebeek and Brodie 2016).
The popularity of social media poses both risks and opportunities for organizations (Munnukka and Järvi 2014). On the one hand, an organization's reduced level of control over information about its products and brands bears the unavoidable risk of transparency (Kaplan and Haenlein 2010). Further, product-, brand- or firm-related conversations on social media may occur not only between a firm's current or past customers, but may also include 'non-paying customers' (Groeger et al. 2016); thus rendering an added level of complexity in social media-based interactions. On the other hand, the pervasiveness of social media provides companies with new ways of interacting with consumers (Sasser et al. 2014). Leveraging trust among consumers, and tracking consumers' willingly shared product or brand-related views has the potential to significantly enhance consumer communications and relationships (Malthouse et al. 2013; Hollebeek et al. 2016b). Many companies have recognized the effect of online conversations on consumer purchase decisions, and actively contribute to these. Overall, social media allow companies to connect with consumers, and communicate and share information with them. Social media thereby complement traditional 'push' communications (e.g., e-mail newsletters; Choudhury and Harrigan 2014) with multi-directional communication, thus facilitating dialogue with consumers, including current and prospective customers. The 'multi-directional' facet of social media communications refers to social media interactions not being limited to dialogue between the company and a focal consumer exclusively - but instead, this may extend to include other consumers (e.g., those in a focal consumer's network; Meng et al. 2016).
Based on the outlined social media hallmarks, engaging in conversations with consumers via social media has high potential for company-based customer relationship management (CRM; Malthouse et al. 2013). Specifically, by actively engaging users in company issues and business processes via social media, companies have the capability to tap into new opportunities to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty (Hollebeek et al. 2014). One important CRM facilitator is the acquisition and exploitation of consumer knowledge, enabled by the intelligent use of data and technology solutions, to create a superior consumer experience (Frow and Payne 2009; Lee et al. 2006). Through social media, companies have broad access to consumers' public and private information (e.g., user profiles, activities, interests, relationships, followers of a company's social media account), as well as consumers' networks of contacts (Reinhold and Alt 2012). Information regarding consumers' product-, brand- or firm-related opinions and views is expected to be conducive to revealing consumer needs and experiences (Alt and Reinhold 2012), which, in turn, can be useful for leveraging the development of customer relationships and increasing customer lifetime value (Kumar 2013; Kumar et al. 2010; Kumar and Pansari 2015).
The deployment of social media within CRM is a rising phenomenon, leading to a new paradigm referred to as Social CRM (Trainor et al. 2014). Social CRM is a philosophy and business strategy that professionalizes the relationship to consumers using social media (Malthouse et al. 2013). Greenberg (2010: p. 413) defines Social CRM as "a philosophy and a business strategy, supported by a technology platform, business rules, processes and social characteristics, designed to engage the customer in a collaborative conversation in order to provide mutually beneficial value in a trusted & transparent business environment."
Social CRM constitutes a consumer-centric management approach (Dutot 2013; Greenberg 2010) that takes into account that the customer relationship is no longer controlled by the company, but is based on interactions not only between the company and focal consumers, but also among consumers themselves (Choudhury and Harrigan 2014; Faase et al. 2011). The consumer is thus regarded as a collaborative partner within a consumer-centric environment (Greenberg 2010); thus leading to the rising importance of consumer- or customer cocreation (Vargo and Lusch 2016), and coproduction (Etgar 2008; Sawhney et al. 2005), which reflect consumer participation in organizational processes, resulting in mutual benefit for both parties (Choudhury and Harrigan 2014; Greenberg 2010).
Social CRM activities encompass, in their most basic form, the use of social media to publish advertisements that reach broad audiences for the purpose of improving marketing efficiency (Malthouse et al. 2013). Additionally, encouraging consumers to share positive user experiences via social media can lead to improved brand reputation and sales increases (e.g., by enticing fickle or indecisive consumers to purchase products or services; Kaplan and Haenlein 2010). Further, firms' leveraging of consumers' social networks generates the opportunity to gain relevant business insight (e.g., with respect to consumer preferences for particular product attributes, or the ways in which consumers use particular products; Tilly et al. 2015). These insights, in turn, can be deployed to enhance or leverage customer relationships, and to better align the firm's offerings with specific consumer needs (e.g., articulated customer requirements or complaints can be used in product or service innovation processes). Moreover, social media can be used to facilitate micro-segmentation; that is, the targeting of individual customer segments, and catering to their unique needs and preferences with personalized, customized offerings (Berthon et al. 2012).
Further opportunities arise from the integration of consumers into operational procedures via social media, including by reducing service costs (Chesbrough 2007). Since service demand on social media platforms has increased significantly over recent years, a growing number of companies is now adopting a service-oriented Social CRM approach (Trainor et al. 2014). In addition to providing timely responses to service requests on proprietary or third-party platforms, companies engage consumers in consumer-to-consumer support (Breidbach et al. 2014); thus reducing companies' service costs. Yet, not only companies benefit from social CRM. Consumers can also benefit from companies´ social CRM activities, such as through relationship-based benefits, interaction and exchange, and enhanced capacity to exert influence on business activities and processes (Sawhney et al. 2005). Examples include product or service discounts, special (e.g., VIP customer) promotions, and accelerated fulfilment of customer support requests (Rosenberger et al. 2015).
In light of these recent developments and challenges, further research addressing the manifestations and dynamics of social media-based customer/company interactions is needed. Specifically, contemporary managers require enhanced insight, decision support and relevant research to inform their strategic decision-making in the area of social media marketing, the effects of the changing nature of such interactions and consumers' ensuing engagement on (inter)organizational strategies, processes, information technology (IT) infrastructure and organizational culture, as well as the identification, management and monitoring of associated organizational risks and opportunities.
This special issue comprises four papers that address specific issues with respect to the "Dynamics of Customer Interaction on Social Media Platforms" from a number of theoretical and empirical perspectives.
The paper by Schultz (2016) titled "Insights from Consumer Interactions on a Social Networking Site: Findings from Six Apparel Retail Brands" presents findings in the area of consumer reactions to both brand postings and consumer-initiated social interactions. The results are used to develop a framework, which allows companies to identify the interaction strategy of competitors, and draws relevant implications from these analyses.
In their paper "Consequence of Customer Engagement Behavior: When Negative Facebook Posts Have Positive Effects" by Bitter and Grabner-Kräuter (2016), by means of conducting experiments, investigate under which circumstances negative brand-related Facebook posts turn into unexpected, favorable effects. This paper, as such builds on pioneering work addressing customer engagement behaviors, and adopts a novel approach to this emerging concept.
The paper "The Low Status Advantage: The Effect of Status Structure on Participation in an Online Community" by Hanson and Jiang (2016) presents findings on the effects of members' status structure and consumption motivation within an online community on consumers' ensuing willingness to participate in the community.
In their paper titled "Generating and Exploiting Customer Insights from Social Media Data," Wieneke and Lehrer (2016) draw on seven case studies addressing companies' deployment of social media data. The research focuses on both the required absorptive capacity of companies and contingent factors, and concludes by drawing a set of theoretical and managerial implications arising from these analyses.
On a final note, we would like to sincerely thank our highly competent and supportive team of reviewers. Without diligent authors and reviewers we would not have been able to compile this Special Issue. We hope you will enjoy reading and using the work contained within this Issue.

I've always been intrigued by the notion of capitalizing on the privacy issue. There are those of us for whom lack of privacy isn't a big deal – me, for instance. I always thought people who worry about lack of privacy have something to hide. My own life is completely innocent (darn it!) – to someone looking at me from the outside, it looks completely boring.
Obviously, I like to think I have more fun and lead a more rewarding life than the average Joe (but then all the people named Joe that I know of are way above average), but all that excitement is between my ears and not lower down – I mean my wallet, what did you think I meant, eh?
In any event, the privacy debate has polarized people into two camps: the vast majority who are fairly worried about it (the same majority whose heart skips a beat if they see flashing lights in their rear-view mirror), and the tiny minority for whom the whole problem is a non-issue or, at worst, only a minor inconvenience.
But aren't there any enterprising folks out there who are willing to monetize their privacy? The closest they've come to is to be willing to exchange their privacy for some dubious benefit that is not guaranteed. Chris Taylor, in his excellent article, has some great examples.
However, here is my proposition: what if the government mandated – and enforced – total privacy by default? Any company wanting any info has to pay the individual – but only if the person voluntarily contracted with the company.
A company spends money collecting data and pushing ads at you because there is value in doing so. Right now, the only people collecting the loot are the intermediary channels. Why shouldn't we – the privacy targets – collect some too?
What if no ONE has the right to collect our information for ANY purpose unless (a) we allow them to do so voluntarily and (b) the collecting company pays us? What if they can't resell our info unless the same rules apply?
What if every company is required by law to offer compensation in cash (not in kind) in return for private information – compensation that the individual is free to accept, reject, or negotiate?
After all, what is at stake here is our own personal brand. Which brings me to a really revolutionary idea: given that everything I proposed above won't come to pass (because we have a bunch of wet noodles for our government), why not incorporate ourselves? John Doe, LLC. Then, our name becomes a brand that receives legal protection. No collection of data or usage without our permission. And we give permission only if we are paid!
I'd love to let some company put a device on my car and track my every movement – as long as they pay me a price that I set.
After all, I don't violate any traffic laws (not a single moving violation ever since I started driving, for about 25 years now! touch wood, touch wood), don't visit people I shouldn't, or go to places that are questionable.
I have nothing to fear. Bring on the money!


This document has reportedly been distributed in different formats and under different titles to all branches of the 610 Office in China. The version of the document issued by the 610 Office of Qianxi, Hebei Province, was in the form of a memorandum entitled, "The Leader Committee Office Guidelines for Prevention and Response to Cult-Related Issues during Shanghai World Expo."
The 610 Office is a spy organization similar to the Leadership Committee during the Cultural Revolution and Nazi Germany's Gestapo. To misdirect the attention of the media and the international community, many 610 Offices have changed their name to "The Leadership Group Office for Prevention and Management of Heresy Problems."
The 610 Office was established in June 1999, by the Jiang/Luo group of the CCP for the express purpose of persecuting Falun Gong. Since then, it has expanded its power and assigned personnel to many sectors of the Chinese government, including public security, national security, foreign affairs, business enterprises and neighborhood committees. The 610 Office conceals the truth about and defames Falun Gong, while secretly directing the imprisonment and abuse of Falun Gong practitioners. Over the past 10 years it has used every occasion, including holidays such as New Years, anniversaries, formal conferences and other public events, as a pretext for defaming Falun Gong. At the same time, it has used its power to monitor, arrest and harass Falun Gong practitioners in China.


A Hoboken policeman checks on the home of Dustin Friedland, 30, who was shot and killed at the Mall at Short Hills on Sunday night.
MILLBURN — Dustin Friedland was an athlete in high school, swimming competitively for Toms River High School North.
While attending law school at Syracuse University, he would run, once entering the 10-mile Dunn Tire Mountain Goat Run — not with an especially fast time, but finishing at a sub-8 minute pace.
And when he moved to Hoboken, he joined the local running club, the Hoboken Harriers.
Friedland, 30, was shot and killed Sunday night at the Mall in Short Hills in what authorities are describing as a carjacking gone bad. According to the Essex County Prosecutor's office, he and his wife had gone to the mall to do some shopping and were heading back to their car on the second floor of a mall parking deck shortly after 9 p.m. when they were attacked by two unidentified assailants. Two shots were fired and Friedland was hit in the head.
Their car, a 2012 silver Range Rover, was taken, and recovered earlier today behind a vacant house in Newark's South Ward, just a few blocks from Route 78, about eight miles east of the mall.
Friedland was declared dead later at Morristown Memorial Hospital. His wife, Jamie Schare, was not injured.
Magaletta said Friedland had only recently joined the club.
Dustin Friedland, 30, was shot and killed at the Mall at Short Hills on Sunday night, according to law enforcement sources.
"He had not raced. He was gearing up to get fit," said Magaletta, a long-time Harrier runner who knows most of its members. He learned of the shooting earlier this morning on the radio, and then immediately recognized Friedland's name when it was released.
"I said, 'Oh God, please tell me it's not him," he said.
The club, known as HoHa, organized training runs during the week and on weekends. Friedland ran with them on Thursday nights, often ending at a local bar like Moran's Pub on Garden Street to socialize afterward.
Magaletta said Friedland struck up conversations with everybody.
"We all knew he was a lawyer. Even though he was a relatively new member, he fit right in," he recalled.
According to a LinkedIn social media profile, Friedland was a project manager who analyzed legal claims at a Neptune contracting firm, Epic Mechanical Inc., which is owned by his father, Wayne. Records show the Range Rover was registered to the company.
Friedland and his wife, who apparently met each other in Syracuse, were married in October 2011. The couple had no children.


Today is a very special day because we recognize three of our graduating seniors.
Keden Whitehead, grandson of Chuck and Cherri Whitehead graduates from Chestatee High School. Keden has also just completed requirements to receive the Eagle Scout level award from the Boy Scouts of America.
Along with Keden, Noah Ferguson graduates, having been home schooled by his wonderful parents Harold and Amy Ferguson. Noah is an active part of our Sunday School and serves as one of our Student leaders who diligently carries forward the work of our Student Ministry.
Christie Bruce graduates from North Georgia University with a degree in Accounting. I know that her husband Chris and son Adam are overjoyed with Christie's successful completion of her college degree program.
Our whole church family applauds the achievements of these graduates.
We look forward to supporting each one of them as they go forward to pursue future goals and dreams yet to be fulfilled. We pledge our prayers for them. We all commit ourselves to pay attention and recognize how God works in their lives to nurture and guide them to become all He has called them to be. We praise God today for Keden Whitehead, Noah Ferguson and Christie Bruce. May God continue to bless your lives.
I know that's what my parents said about me. I graduated 4 times and I can hear my dad say, "Oh Lordy, he's done it again." My dad liked to call me "The Genius" because of all the schooling I attempted and enjoyed doing.
warn them and even applaud them.
I've made myself tired trying to remember what all was involved in getting a child to the point of graduation. So, to Chuck and Cherri, Harold and Amy, Chris and Adam this "Oh Lordy" is for you.
Congratulations! Getting your loved one to graduation is a monumental achievement which you have accomplished with honor. We all love you and applaud all you have accomplished in parenting and supporting your graduate.
