Not all reports are the same. Do you need a report for shareholders? Regulatory requirements? A debt covenant requirement? Or maybe to measure performance?
We assist our clients by providing the appropriate level of reporting on their financial statements in accordance with professional standards. The report takes one of three forms: audit, review or compilation. The nature of the report depends on such factors as client needs, size and complexity of the organization, and the needs of creditors, regulators and funders. PKHB CPAs' team of accountants and financial experts helps you determine which reports you need, so you can choose the right level of service without wasting resources. We know our longstanding clients very well, and we take the same care getting to know our new ones.
A compilation meets the most basic requirements, and is often prepared for privately-held entities that do not need a higher level of assurance. The objective of a compilation is to assist management in presenting financial information in the form of financial statements without providing any assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with an applicable financial reporting framework. Generally, a compilation is for internal use but in some instances such a report may be needed for a lender for financing or periodic review. It is not necessary for your CPA to be independent to carry out compilation procedures.
Compilation procedures primarily include assisting management in adjusting its books and records to comply with its financial statement framework and taking such information to prepare financial statements with or without footnotes.
"A review level service differs significantly from a compilation level service in that the CPAs are independent and go further than a compilation. CPAs performing a financial review must make inquiries and perform analyses of the financials, and then issue an expression of "limited assurance" that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for the statements to be in conformity with the applicable financial reporting framework. Often a review level service is performed when a business organization has outside investors, bank loans or creditors, and are used when third parties do not require higher-level "audited" statements.
Review procedures include performing analytical procedures to identify potential misstatements, adjusting your books to comply with your financial accounting framework, reviewing significant and non-recurring transactions for proper accounting, and assistance with drafting your financial statements.
PKHB is available to meet your financial statement needs.

As a woman who's spent a decades-long career working for technology-focused companies, I've taken a personal interest in the rising women-in-tech movement. While it's brought to light many personal stories about women's negative experiences and struggles working in male-dominated tech firms, the movement has also presented the technology community with an opportunity to take constructive action that's spawned many positive outcomes.

Windows Vista may only have been out for two weeks, but Microsoft is already planning its successor, dubbed Windows Vienna. Microsoft says the new operating system will be finished in 2009.
The Windows Vienna codename has been in use by Microsoft internally since 2000. However Ben Fathi, who's in charge of the development of Vienna's core components, won't reveal what the official name will be.
"We've been told not to use it publicly," Fathi told attendees at the RSA Conference in San Francisco.
According to Fathi, the development of Windows Vienna will take about as long as the period between Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista - in other words about two and a half years.
If this timeline is accurate, Windows Vienna could be on sale by the end of 2009. This would mean a considerably faster turn-around time than the five years plus it took Microsoft to go from Windows XP to Windows Vista.
It's too early to say what functions will be featured in Windows Vienna, but Fathi said there will be some fundamental changes. "Over the next few months I think you're going to start hearing more and more," Fathi told PC World magazine.
Speculations suggest that voice recognition will play a much bigger part in Windows Vienna, which may also get a radical new user interface that's been developed from scratch.

Exclusive: Jeremy Clarkson lines up Quinn Emanuel to take on BBC
29/01/2017 Natasha Bernal Leave a comment
BBC Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has instructed Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan to represent him in any potential commercial dispute against the BBC for breach of contract.
Olswang senior partner Mark Devereux is representing Clarkson during the BBC's ongoing official disciplinary investigation, which was launched after the presenter allegedly punched Top Gear producer Tymon after filming on location in Newcastle two weeks ago (16 March 2015).
Clarkson turned to Quinn Emanuel to examine the case for a commercial claim of breach of contract. Director-general Tony Hall confirmed today that the BBC would not be renewing Clarkson's contract when it runs out, reportedly at the end of this month.
It is understood that the presenter may have opted to change adviser because of a potential conflict of interest at Olswang. In recent years the firm has represented the BBC on several commercial deals including BBC Worldwide's long-term creative partnership with AMC Networks in 2014, a sale and licencing deal for BBC Magazines in 2011 and the sale of travel publisher Lonely Planet in 2013.
Olswang is also a provider for the private practice element for the BBC's training contract.
Quinn Emanuel declined to comment.

Feature: Where are all the women law firm leaders?
Just eight women hold senior management roles in the UK's top 50 firms despite females dominating the profession at entry level. How can that gulf be closed and what career steps will make the top more reachable? We asked today's leaders.
Gender in law firms is a hot topic, and with a growing number of firms publishing diversity targets, it is starting to feel like the UK's leading law firms are scrambling to hit the magic 30 per cent female partner ratio. Which means senior law firm management will soon be full of female lawyers, right?
Unlikely.
Despite a growing number of firms pledging to improve their gender diversity credentials, the most recent data from The Lawyer's UK 200 shows that just 19 per cent of the total partnership roles in the top 20 firms are held by women.
This stands in stark contrast to the fact that for the past 20 years the majority (60 per cent) of new entrants into the UK legal profession were women.

Exclusive: Olswang Europe offices left out in the cold on three-way merger
Olswang's continental European offices have been warned they will not be automatically included in the firm's three-way merger with CMS and Nabarro, The Lawyer understands.
The offices in Brussels, Madrid, Munich and Paris have been told they must negotiate the integration of their teams with CMS's local offices or look for alternative homes.
An ex-Olswang partner told The Lawyer that it was likely that the single-partner offices would be absorbed by CMS in Europe, while the larger teams "may have more trouble" with their negotiations.
Olswang currently has six offices outside of the UK, four of which are in Europe, and a total of 14 partners across its network.
Olswang's Paris office led by Guillaume Kessler has seven partners, while Munich has five partners and Madrid and Brussels have a sole partner each, Blanca Escribano and Dirk Van Liedekerke.
Should they decide against attempting to integrate with CMS's local offices, sources point to real estate costs being the largest problem for European partners.
CMS's presence in Europe somewhat dwarfs Olswang's, with 28 offices in total. However the overlap between the two firms is total, as CMS has offices in eight cities in Germany including Munich, two offices in Belgium (Antwerp and Brussels), three offices in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona and Seville) and an office in Paris.
It is understood that Olswang's Munich partnership is weighing up its options on whether to continue ahead with the merger or integrate with a different international firm.
It is not clear whether the Asia offices (Hong Kong and Singapore) are subject to the same conditions as their European counterparts.
Olswang CEO Paul Stevens has been approached to comment.
A spokesperson said: "We can confirm that three-way discussions are actively on-going between Olswang's UK LLP, the CMS UK LLP and its European affiliate partnerships, and we are working hard to achieve an outcome that is satisfactory to all parties."
CMS, Nabarro and Olswang partners voted through the firms' three-way merger last month, which is expected to complete next May.
The new firm will be called CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang, but will trade as CMS. Under the terms of the merger, Nabarro and Olswang will join the CMS UK partnership and move into its City premises in Cannon Place.
After the merger announcement, CMS Cameron McKenna, Nabarro and Olswang told their business services support teams that all roles are up for grabs at the merged firm, putting around 850 UK-based non fee-earning roles into consultation.

"I think it's worth a raised eyebrow" says author Brooks Agnew. He's done a lot of research on Elenin and tells RT that there are some rather strange coincidences regarding the comet that people should take into consideration.
"A lot of people are concerned about it," says Agnew. "We've done a lot of research on Comet Elenin and what we've found is there's a lot of missing data on this comet"
Agnew says that NASA calls the comet just "a harmless little fuzzball of ice" that won't come within more than 20 million miles from Earth. Others, he says, are claiming that this comet should raise concern since it doesn't look like a comet, doesn't act like a comet and is coming from outside of the area where most comets are accustomed to originate out of.
"There are a lot of things about this comet that don't make sense," Agnew says.
Agnew attests that allegations about the impact of Elenin have been discussed for centuries, and says that people shouldn't just shrug them off as crackpot theories. "We've been put off by professionals saying everything is going to be fine, but those of us that have been watching the cosmological signs, geological signs [and] oceanographic signs have been showing that there is the trend that the ancients said would be happening."
"What we should be aware of is that the projections [are] highly estimated. There are a lot of forces working on this comet as it travels through our solar system from a very off angle and not all of them have been calculated. So were kind of making a guess of where this thing is going to end up - and a guess might not be good enough."
If projections aren't enough proof, Agnew says to look no further than the major governments of the world. Both the US and Russia have invested fortunes into new underground shelters, and the author says there has to be a reason for it. NASA, he says, has also recently circulated a video among the families of employees advising them what to do in case of an upcoming emergency.
According to Agnew, it's time to connect the dots, and he's not just talking about constellations.
Comment: There has been much disinformation and plain hysteria around the topic of Comet Elenin that contribute to the general confusion regarding possible effects of the comet on Earth and our civilization.
We advise our readers to take a look at the following articles that bring sanity to this highly charged topic.
This story quotes "author Brooks Agnew", but doesn't list what he has written. Hmm, i wonder if perhaps he's got a sensational Comet Elenin book in the works, or if he's shopping some articles to publications, to appear in the next month or two, coinciding with its closest approach.
Guess you haven't watched the video.
He goes around trying to find things that "experts" are ignoring that he thinks shouldn't be ignored. He's worked on HAARP, UFOs and many other topics. I don't know how effective he has been at getting the system to cough up more honest data. I'd sure like to see someone out there who could be effective at doing that! But seems like he himself is honestly concerned about the topics he looks into.
I find it suspicious that the "time" ran out just as soon as the guest started talking about a possible EMP (electromagnetic pulse) coming from a sun driven solar storm and knocking our electric and communication grids...In my opinion it is the MOST LIKELY scenario as it would send us back to the 19th century with little to no amenities available that we've come to depend upon in this techno-centric age!!!
The article labels him an "author"
Guess you haven't watched the video. ;)"

This past weekend, Blitz and Peaces decided to hit the Singapore Toys, Games, and Comics Convention (STGCC). We decided to do as much as possible to raise awareness of the Flames of War game, Team Yankee and TANKS!
First up, we decided to use our tournament area to hold a live Red Thunder campaign. This was a blast! We had NATO and Warsaw Pact commanders smashing head to head from dawn to dusk.
The very first game resulted in a 6 – 1 victory for the Soviets which saw them win Hanover. NATO counterattacks pushed them back out and into red territory in the afternoon and the first day ended with a single territory from eastern Germany in NATO hands. The second day brought some serious fighting around Dresden which was almost lost to NATO.
Defending Capitalism the whole day. Infantry are inside looking for Flat Pack Mobile cover.
Don't tell them its made of plywood.
I was on site as the embedded war correspondent.
The Second thing we had was a 4 x 4 ft Showcase table for Stalingrad. We placed 6 snipers in the ruined city and anyone who could find them would get to roll a dice and see what they get.
As an idea of how hard they were to spot, in the picture to the right. There is a sniper here in the second bottom window from the right. Remember they have to spot them from about 3-4 feet away.
This didn't stop people from winning though. Some spent 3 minutes, and gave up, some spent 3 hours, went for lunch and came back for another hour to find the last one. All of them shared the photos on Facebook.
STGCC was a blast and we managed to conduct about 80 demos with everyone having a great time.
Hope you can come join us or follow us on Facebook. We have plenty of events and shows that we do. Make sure you join in with the community and thanks for the support!

Early Thoughts on NetFlix's Castlevania Series
25 May 2017 | Filed In: Blog Post, Video Games
Back in February, a number of websites began publishing information about a new Netflix series based on the Castlevania franchise. Then, just yesterday, the first trailer was released. It's no secret that the Castlevania series has been a major influence on my work. It's the first video game series that I felt was "mine", in that I discovered it for myself; I started with the very first Castlevania in 1986–though it probably wasn't until 1987 or 88 that I played it (games had a longer shelf-life back then)–and it featured all of the things I loved best: horror elements, a massive castle, spooky music (I love that word) and Dracula! So with all of that, you'd think I'd be excited to know a screen adaptation of the games is finally happening.
The truth is, I'm highly skeptical about it. You could say it's PTSD related to Konami's systematic destruction of all of their properties in the recent past (including Castlevania–which was first in line, I might add, with the Lords of Shadow series). That may be true; however, I don't know that everything about this upcoming Castlevania series seems like it's being handled in a faithful way–or at least the way I, as a long time fine, would have liked to see Castlevania adapted into a film or television series.
According to the reports and as evidenced by the trailer, the Castlevania series is going to be an animated, episodic show about "the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepes himself," and is rumoured to be based off of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.
The involved parties are producer Adi Shankar, writer Warren Ellis, and animation studio Frederator Studios (Adventure Time). Ellis comes as little surprise because I vaguely remember happening upon some vague rumours on the internet many years ago that he working on an unofficial animated adaptation of Dracula's Curse. So it is possible this is the very same project, finally coming to fruition.
Most of that sounds hopefully. After all Dracula's Curse is both a fan favourite and one of the principal stories in the Castlevania timeline, so much so that it was spun off into Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (both fantastic games), not to mention the Lords of Shadow series had strong connections to it, despite the reboot's deviations. And on a personal level, Trevor Belmont and Alucard are two of my favourite characters in the series. But again, it's not the source material which is troubling to me; it's the way it's seemingly being handled.
My initial misgivings for the series started with Shankar's words about the series back a few months ago. He described the Castlevania series as having a "Game of Thrones" feel, being "R-rated as fuck" and "the best fucking video game adaptation we've had to date." He even added that the show stands to "flip the vampire sub-genre on its head." I mean maybe that sounds great to you, but to me it seems more like the thought process behind the development of Lords of Shadow 2 (which was a huge disappointment) rather than the classic Castlevania upon which the show is supposed to be based. I don't need R-rated "as fuck" (are they making a softcore porno?), I don't need another Game of Thrones (political drama in a dark-fantasy story about a vampire hunter and the Prince of Darkness himself?), and it doesn't need to flip the vampire subgenre on its head. I mean, it is the vampire subgenre: Dracula is the main antagonist! This may seem nitpicky, but really this doesn't scream Castlevania to me.
Furthermore, I can't say that I'm thrilled to learn the show is going to be animated. It's not that I have anything particularly against animated shows (some of the best stuff I've seen has been animated), but again it doesn't seem like Castlevania to me. If anything the choice seems arbitrary, like because it's a video game it needs to be animated. It brings to mind Sylvain White's words about the Castlevania film that was in development years ago: that Castlevania had an "anime feel to it." Plus, I'm not partial to the style I've seen in the trailer (that's the problem with animation–people have to like the art too). I would have much rather seen a gritty, live-action series. Somewhere in all of this, I feel like they're missing what Castlevania actually is, and it has the potential to go poorly.
Though in truth (like my initial thoughts on the new Hellboy film), I suppose it's too early to tell how the series will be. So, I'll wait to cast my official judgement when the series releases on July 7, 2017, but I'm not holding my breath. At the very least I'm satisfied that NetFlix stepped up to help make a Castlevania adaptation happen (and they've had a decent track record with Marvel shows–from what I understand). I just hope that Castlevania doesn't disappoint, because despite my skepticism, I'd like nothing more than an amazing adaptation of this series.

A tart recipe: my Mum's one!
Do you have recipes that are special to you and your family? There is the Linzer Torte that I would do every summer when I used to live in France. I would pick up the figs in the tree in the morning and bake this tart in the afternoon. Rarely there would be any leftover.
Since then, when I do this recipe… While it is baking in the oven, I can close my eye and travel back home.
I have another one! An almond-banana tart that my mum does. It is a perfect for any season of the year so while I am waiting for the fruit to be ready to be picked up in the tree, I want to share this recipe with you.
- For the crust, go here and add 25g of sugar to it.

You're from the south of France! I stayed in Bordeaux for 1 year many years ago (it feels strange to say that!) when I was a student. I LOVE the sound of this banana tart. We have something similar in England called a Bakewell tart, but it really is a fantastic idea to add bananas. Pinning this for sure.

Marketers around the globe are keeping their eyes on a handful of pretty dramatic changes that are affecting how brands and retailers go to market with their products and services.
According to Wikipedia: Omni-channel retailing is an expansion of multi-channel retailing. The major change between the two is the level of integration. Multi-channel is usually identified as a non-integrated way to approach customers while omni-channel requires coherent and absolute integration. The boundaries between diverse channels tend to vanish in an omni-channel environment, giving the customer a completely unified brand experience. Websites, email offers, social media messaging and physical stores all show the same messages, offers, and products. The omni-channel concept not only extends the range of channels, but also incorporates the needs, communications and interactions between customer, brand and retailer.
In a nutshell – this is a customer focused approach that enables seamless access to purchasing. The seamless quality applies not only to a consistent brand look and feel but also to consistent messaging and experience for the consumer regardless of where he/she is buying.
The Me Consumer – a term for modern day shoppers who are more informed, more demanding, expect products they purchase to be RELEVANT to them, and who are much less patient (and loyal) than previous generations. Actually it was a JW Thompson study that coined the term "Me Brands", and refers to brands that go to almost extreme levels to customize their products to meet consumers' needs. These are tough customers to cater to, but they represent a growing share of most of our potential target universes.
The customization of a product can be according to a wide range of criteria – segmentation by region, language, or age; customization for a particular event; seasonal and holidays; and down to the personalization that we all see when we receive direct mail with our name picked out.
Secondly, we're all witnessing an era of traditional media clutter, where it's so much harder (and more expensive) today to get attention from target customers than in the past via vehicles such as TV, radio, outdoor and print. And actually even digital channels have their challenges as ad blockers become more and more ubiquitous. This phenomenon emphasizes the importance of physical in-store and online marketing, display and packaging design – grabbing shoppers' attention at the point of sale to influence their purchase decision.
The visual cues that we recognize when we see the same branding on a direct mailer, a billboard and inside the store ensure a consistency that leaves consumers feeling reassured that the products online and in-store are the same quality.
Thirdly – brand owners, retailers and distribution partners are all, without exception, squeezed for margins, and looking to make supply chains shorter and more efficient. Lower inventories, and more reactive supply chains are becoming a very challenging new norm.
In order to cope with this extreme pressure, retailers and brands need to be able to get new products to market fast, to supply impatient customers rapidly, and to maintain a level of response and reaction that keeps up with market demand.
And finally, competition between brands and between retailers just keeps growing. Globalization, retail channel blurring and e-commerce are all factors behind this – creating a situation where innovation for the purpose of creating a point of difference becomes an absolute necessity – it's a question of differentiate or die.
These last two have become even closer with the rise of online purchasing. The ability to not only buy online but to compare prices leads to a commoditization of the process. And the next step – which has already hit the stores – is the entry of shopping applications which take the consumer even further away from the bricks and mortar experience. This digital experience also severely impacts the supply chain logistics.
We firmly believe that all these forces are converging, and creating a digital future. We've seen it clearly in other industries. The future is digital, and it's arrived.
In order to cope with these trends the savvy retailer or brand is committed to an omni-channel marketing approach.
Approval cycles are cut by using digital technology, samples and final products are made with the same production process, last minute changes and edits are simple, and rapid turnaround a given.
Point of sale, wobblers, header cards, sleeves, window dressing, and table top all can be produced using Highcon technology.
On-the-shelf packaging has more influence than almost every other aspect of a product. Standing out on the shelf is Highcon's specialty.
With the trend towards online purchasing and the drive to reduce overpackaging Highcon offers both an online ordering solution as well as the ability to produce visually attractive customized packaging that both protects the content while carrying the brand message and creates wow effect.

The Canadian government yesterday announced a "pivot" in foreign policy. Being dubbed "dollar diplomacy" the move is designed to use foreign policy primarily to generate trade.
It is not only that this is another of the Harper reductionisms, but the shift demonstrates the ultimate sell-out of the Canadian national interests to the interests of the corporate and business sector.
We are especially inspired by one of the following "experts", Gar Pardy, whose insight that most "Canadian" corporations are foreign owned and subsidized by the Canadian government, and the sole interest of those companies is to generate profit, so through this ugly and reprehensible shift in Canadian government policy, the Canadian government has not only reduced its perception and conception of its responsibility for foreign affairs, but also it has completely enmeshed the national interests with those of the "foreign" corporations, in what amounts to a complete sell-out of the Canadian national interests. Pardy's reference to the "revival of Willy Loman" is especially chilling, given the desperation of that Arthur Miller archetype of the fallen and trashed salesman, the first presentation of the Pulitzer play in the 1950's witnessed the weeping departure of many salesmen from the New York audience, so painful was the portrayal of their lives before their very eyes. While working in the U.S. where salesmanship is pontifical, if not actually sacred, I listened as one sad and tragic woman commented, "Jesus was the world's best salesman!" I knew at that moment that my stay in that country needed to come to an abrupt end, especially since I was attempting to revive an Episcopal mission that had been on "life-support" for several years prior to my arrival.
If we thought the Harper government had already warranted a full and complete and final dismissal from public office for both despicable deeds and even more despicable omissions of responsibility prior to the Baird announcement that we are proudly morphing into the latest iteration of Willy Loman, this latest and most blatant abdication of public responsibility and interest would clearly count as its final and most nefarious indictment.
A blind commitment to a mercantilist foreign policy is a proven loser, says a former ambassador to Russia and the EU.
This is a proven dreadful mistake. Foreign relations for democratic nations have three thrusts: economic interests; international peace and security; and value-driven support for human rights and democracy development. Their content is increasingly more people to people than state to state.
The moment any one emphasis excludes one or both of the others is the moment things go off the rails; eg., thirty years of the United States supporting a dictator in Egypt for (false) security reasons alone; or for Canada, sucking up to the Gadhafi family to help out SNC/Lavalin.
The United States is now pursuing just such a composite strategy - for Iran, Russia, China; supporting a strategic partnership in the interests of economic and political security, while also supporting civil society's legitimate aspirations.
Why is this Canadian government so blindly committed to a mercantilist policy without the other thrusts? It's a proven loser. It is not what Canadians want.
Poor Willy Loman. Arthur Miller's archetypical salesman died more than sixty years ago by his own hand. He is now revived by the government of Canada in a play of desperation to give new energy and life to the Canadian economy on the backs of the Canadian Foreign Service. Never have public servants been loaded with such an onerous responsibility; and before we get carried away with the rhetoric of the government and the clapping flippers of its trained seals, Canadians should take a walk in the real world where the Canadian coin is of less value than the CFA franc of the Central African Republic.
The antecedents of this policy are not hard to find. The dismantling of the Canadian International Development Agency, putting the International Development Research Centre on life support, the bad-mouthing of the Commonwealth and threats to cut Canadian support funding, the back-of-the-hand treatment for the United Nations and a visceral disdain for the Foreign Service have all been large signposts of the illusory world this government has created.
Now Canadians are expected to accept that "All diplomatic assets of the Government of Canada will be marshalled on behalf of the private sector." This is more than just changing the channel. It is throwing out the television and expecting the world to accept the ethereal messages this prone government receives from its self-created cosmos.
It has been evident for some time that this is a government that lives in an illusory universe where science plays on role and reasonableness has been eliminated from its DNA. As such, not surprisingly, it can today with a face straight say to a complex world that Canada cannot be counted on to do anything more than to "marshal" its foreign service in support of its business community.
It is a policy that is constructed on the shifting sands of ignorance of the international scene and sleigh-of-the-hand illusions to fool Canadians. To suggest that there is a "Canadian" business community is to deny a central Canadian illusion. There is hardly a large Canadian company that is today not controlled by foreign interests and supported by hidden Canadian subsidies of policy and money. Even more insidious is that many of these foreign interests are the products of foreign governments whose interest in things Canadians do not go beyond their wallets and their own national interest.
Gar Pardy is a former ambassador who comments on public policy issues from Ottawa.
The world will not let us focus on economics and trade even if it were a good idea for us to do so.
From natural disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan and the Haitian earthquake to man-made calamities such as 9/11 and Syrian civil war, events will force us to respond. Further, Canadians' interests and our values will demand we pay attention to, for example, the Iranian nuclear program, cyber security, pandemics and the spread of communicable diseases, international crime and the drug trade, climate change and Arctic sovereignty, the alleviation of hunger and promotion of human rights and religious freedoms as well as improving global governance notably preserving Internet freedom.
To say nothing of assisting Canadians abroad who are sick and need help. Mercantile policy will not get Canadia tourists out of hell hole jails or repatriate the deceased.
Nor will it alone burnish Canada's reputation as a constructive, responsible global citizen.
If the government is serious, then what it proposes would amount to a revolution, for this government has up until now often given priority over trade and investment prospects to its support for human rights, humanitarian aid, and international security.
Canada's support for the Western humanitarian intervention to get rid of Colonel Gadhafi harmed the commercial interests of a leading Canadian engineering firm. Canada's criticism of the Sri Lankan government and Canada's boycott of the Commonwealth Heads of State in Colombo cannot have helped Canadian business prospects in Sri Lanka. Canada's support for international sanctions against Iran and North Korea because of their nuclear ambitions has not helped Canadian commercial interests in either country, notably those of the Canadian nuclear industry.
Canada's support for Israel cannot further our business possibilities in the Arab world, which are probably larger than those in Israel. Canadian support for democracy, human rights and national independence in Eastern Europe, notably Ukraine, cannot endear us to the Russians. Appointing an Ambassador for Religious Freedom and supporting women's rights may actually harm business interests in certain countries. The commercial fallout from sending the Dart Team to the Philippines in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan may turn out to be disappointingly small.
If the Government does not mean what it appears to say, then it might consider embarking on a serious and balanced analysis of all the strands of our foreign policy. Such an analysis would likely recognize that other interests sometimes take precedence over commerce.

U.S. Fifth Amendment protections cannot shield Bank Secrecy Act reports from grand jury and other subpoenas, two appellate courts have ruled in tax evasion-related cases.
On Monday, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals said that Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) data, including certain information maintained for tax purposes, must be turned over when legally subpoenaed even if doing so is tantamount to self-incrimination. The decision is the second appellate ruling of its kind, after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reached a similar conclusion in August 2011.
The decisions are "an important and significant development that bolsters government power," said Bryan Skarlatos, an attorney with New York-based Kostelanetz & Fink, LLP. "This gives a lot of momentum to the government's position that the Fifth Amendment doesn't apply to the Required Records Doctrine, and definitely weakens" similar cases, he said.
Taken together, the rulings constitute an "unmitigated disaster" for Americans with offshore bank accounts facing legal scrutiny, said Dennis Brager, a former trial attorney with the IRS Office of Chief Counsel. Such investigations could involve clients at dozens of high-profile banks, including UBS AG, Credit Suisse AG and others, he said.
Monday's ruling further diminishes the chances that the Supreme Court will weigh in on the matter, said Brager. In June, U.S. Justices declined to hear an appeal of the Ninth Circuit decision, effectively settling the matter unless other appellate courts reach different conclusions in similar cases, he said.
The Seventh Circuit ruling stems from a tax evasion investigation, launched in October 2009, against an unnamed individual suspected of hiding assets in offshore bank accounts. When a grand jury asked that the suspect to turn over "any and all" records related to foreign financial accounts, the individual claimed that doing so would violate protections against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment.
On Monday, the appellate court reversed a prior district court decision in favor of the suspect, arguing instead that, under the Required Records Doctrine, individuals who voluntarily participate in a regulated activity effectively waive their Fifth Amendment privileges to withhold related information from investigators.
"The ruling probably secures and affirms one more tool for the government while hobbling similar protections claimed in other cases," said Jim Mastracchio, an attorney with Baker & Hostetler, LLP, in Washington, D.C.
The BSA information impacted by the decision includes bank account opening statements, transactional activity and foreign investment earnings statements, among other documentation, he said.
In its earlier decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled for identical reasons against an appeal by an accountholder at Zurich-based UBS AG. In that case, the court agreed with the lower court's opinion that, because the government requires taxpayers to keep records related to foreign bank accounts, the Constitution does not bar their production.
"If another court down the road rules that the government is requiring people to keep and submit records of their illegal activity, then that is a Fifth Amendment issue," said Skarlatos. "But this hurts a lot of cases brought by foreign bank account holders right now." Similar cases have been brought in Florida and Texas, among other states, he said.
Since the disclosure of UBS AG's $780 million deferred prosecution agreement in August 2009, U.S. and other officials have privately and publicly accused over half of a dozen banks of helping wealthy Americans avoid paying the IRS. As part of its agreement with U.S. officials, UBS turned over data on nearly 5,000 of its American clients.
In February, Wegelin & Co., Switzerland's oldest bank, was indicted by a Manhattan federal court on similar charges. American officials seized $16 million from the bank's correspondent accounts as a result. Credit Suisse, Basler Kantonalbank, Zuercher Kantonalbank, Julius Baer Group, Bank Leumi Le-Israel BM, Bank Hapoalim BM and NZB AG are reportedly negotiating settlements with the United States.

Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area is located by Morris in Grundy County (Illinois), about 50 miles southwest of Chicago. It is the largest tallgrass prairie remaining in Illinois. Settlers planted trees for fences and windbreaks, drained the lake to farm the land, and mined the clay for pottery and firebrick. The area was also strip mined for coal. Trails over the reclaimed spoil mounds offer a nice view of the prairie and marshes. The area provides a nesting habitat to many rare bird species, such as upland sandpiper or Henslow's sparrow.
Many common prairie plants grow here. Shooting stars and wild hyacinths, spiderworts, foxglove beardtongues, gentians, milkweeds, mountain mints, obedience flowers, white indigos, compass plants, cup plants, prairie docks, rosinweeds, purple coneflowers, greay-head coneflowers, goldenrots, and many more. Watch out for poison ivy.
Access: Take Exit 112 from I-80, go south on 47, across the river and turn left (east) on 19 (Pine Bluff Rd). Alternatively, take Exit 240 from I-55 west and follow Lorenzo Rd/Pine Bluff Rd. Either way turn north to Jugtown Rd and the entrance is on the right side of the Jugtown road (east) about 1 mile north.
Trails: 7 miles of trails loop through the prairie. One of the loops is hardpacked, wheelchair accessible.
Others: Adjacent 2,000-acre Heidecke Lake Fish and Wildlife Area is open for fishing and hunting.

I've been operating in the SEO market for nearly five years now. To some, I'm only a pup, though I need to say the results we are from our SEO strategies speak on their own.
When you operate in this particular area of SEO you have a tendency to interact with other SEO professionals and also stay tuned with the most recent SEO waves or maybe updates from Google. Additionally, you interact with some other SEO professionals in the forums and websites.
I want to voice my problem with the quantity of complexity put into the topic of SEO. About eighty % of info on SEO out there's way too strong and complicated, with a lot of views. Apart from the good in SEO, know the reasons for bad results in an SEO business.
Like virtually any technology or methodology, individuals are searching for usability. They want something that works, creates an impact or even is important. This very same idea applies to SEO.
Utilizing a technology requires following the fundamentals of that technology. In case you sift through the huge number of available "sources" you are able to typically find the real source, so this's the info and method one should apply when working out how you can approach it. This's the correct way to study and apply anything.
I think it is amazing how some SEO professionals toss their opinions outside on their high powered blogs and then mix up an additional 1000 SEO experts.
SEO Expert Joe needs to have "green carrots" on page one of Google for a customer.
He's focusing on it for several months, social networks, bookmarking, links etc.
After 2-3 weeks, he takes a take a step back and examines his person and keyword stats. Not much change, he simply is not obtaining the results and his client is beginning to question.
Suddenly he knows that a great video on YouTube might raise things up and get that created a web-based.
The next week "green carrots" is on page one! It is great, it worked as well as the customer is all happy.
After taking it easy relaxed and checking out his results, he instantly realizes he never ever optimized the information of his site with enough keywords. Oops. He just mentioned "green carrots" still and once got a site 1 result. This strikes him as unusual which appears to violate anything he discovered page optimization in SEO.
He creates a great thousand word article about it and thanks to his expertise, is incredibly sure of his findings. He actually would make a jab at Google about no talking it to anybody. These days he's kudos for finding this out there before anybody else.
This's very frustrating for anybody who would like to understand the topic of SEO or maybe also old school SEO professionals. And is due to this particular short-sightedness that the net is loaded with countless web pages about SEO that could be improved placed in the bin.
So now do not get me wrong, I'm not discussing many useful articles, digests, and training available which will significantly aid an SEO expert being his work done faster. I'm speaking about those individuals that produce their own interpretations of what's an incredibly precise and rational technology – SEO.
Rather a statement! Who is your source? They referenced Dr. Edel Garcia's seminal work on the subject – The Keyword Density of Non-Sense. Should you move through this particular source's post, Dr. Edel Garcia tries to fail the mathematical equation of keyword density boosting search engine results and in the ends apparently proves it couldn't be real.
The last declaration in Seomoz's comment on keyword density is amusing.
What does all of this mean? To sum up, Seomoz told its 1000s of Twitter followers which "Keyword density does not have any PART in SEO". They claim at the conclusion which they don't obtain sufficient search engine results (Google's database) to completely validate it. Huh? Why note it then?
On the exact opposite side of this particular story, you will find a lot of intelligent SEO industry experts that are working from the cause of SEO itself and also never deviate. These're several of probably the finest SEO companies and SEO professionals in the planet.
Thus, to the stage, the basic question lingering on us today is, "Who is the source?".
Let us have a look, shall we?
Exactly who determines what ranks well?
Who decides whether your material is good?
Who decides whether your keywords match what many people are searching for?
Who determines whether an external link has value or authority?
The solution is simple: Google.
The interesting thing which I discovered when talking to various other SEO professionals is they like following different experts due to their portfolios, other appeal factors, and attractive articles.
Nevertheless, in case you wish to enter the nitty gritty of everything, your best choice is going back to the source.
Matt Cutts from Google's Search Team provides a huge selection of movies, posts, and articles to keep SEO professionals like you from dropping into the deep pit of unsuccessful sites.
Google wants quality, they would like results and need an excellent user experience. The sole manner they are going to accomplish this's becoming SEO companies and their personal staff members to realize what their perception is in addition to the way they work.
Just last week an SEO company in London contacted us to have more than 2 failing SEO campaigns they had been turned on. They'd gotten themselves into all kinds of oddball SEO methods and have been, of course, failing.
Our Campaign Manager just referred them with the appropriate Google articles on SEO plus site quality tips and they're right now back on track.
When you come across exciting SEO information" and "new, make an effort to confirm it with the several resource sites available from Google. Do not simply jump in and trust everything an additional blogger wrote. It might or might not be true, though it's your status on the series as an SEO expert.
I am hoping this will help in getting your SEO strategies much more powerful and by the guide.

Enfatico, WPP's Dell agency, acquires ADPeople
Dianna Dilworth
Enfatico, formerly Davinci, the WPP agency that is being built to consolidate work for Dell, has acquired a majority stake of the issue-shared capital of Danish agency ADPeople. Terms were not disclosed.

The ASG Group is being acquired from PeopleGroup Holdings (part of the Wibroe, Duckert & Partners Group) and management. ASG employs 160 people in its offices in Copenhagen, Denmark and Dhaka, Bangladesh.
According to WPP, ASG Group's unaudited consolidated revenues as of 31 December 2007 were $34 million, with gross assets of $9.5 million at that date.

Developer submits new plans for 30-story tower project
By By Anne Geggis and Sun Sentinel
| BOCA RATON
Four luxury condo buildings would soar with their steel and glass spires, redefining the city's downtown skyline.
The shortest building would be 23 stories. And the tallest, at 30 stories, would rise above every other building in the city.
The developer of New Mizner on the Green submitted new plans for its 500-unit "ultra-luxury" project on Tuesday, presenting the rationale for why Boca Raton should allow it to ascend to heights never before reached in the city.
Why is it necessary to build so high? Because the view of the Boca Raton Golf Club, beaches and the ocean would be magnificent from any of these heights.
"It's those views that are going to attract affluent homeowners to downtown Boca Raton," said William Shewalter, senior executive officer for Plantation-based ELAD National Properties, a real estate development company.

A 2-acre public park, more disposable income to support Boca's downtown businesses and more city revenue in taxes and permit fees are among Shewalter's selling points.
"We believe this is the right site, the right point in time, for this project in Boca Raton," he said.
The height of the tallest building would make it slightly taller than the city's current tallest building, the Boca Raton Resort & Club, situated less than a mile away.
And it would be just a few feet shorter than the Trump Plaza in West Palm Beach, the tallest building countywide.
New Mizner would be built on 8.7 acres at 200 SE Mizner Blvd., where 244 townhouses would be knocked down to accommodate it. Going taller would give the public a park along Mizner Boulevard, a prime downtown location.
"It's going to have walkways throughout the project, seating areas and sculpture," Shewalter said.

Before the project embarks on what would be a 5-year building schedule, it faces a longer journey in front of city officials than most projects.
In addition to passing muster with the city's Community Appearance Board, Planning and Zoning Board and City Council, an ordinance loosening height restrictions needs to get the City Council's approval.
Traditionally, downtown building heights in Boca have been limited to 100 feet. New Mizner would be more than triple that height.
Two other projects now under construction, though, met certain conditions and will be allowed to rise 160 feet, including 20 feet for architectural flourishes at the top.
Boca Raton City Councilman Robert Weinroth said the 20 emails he has gotten about New Mizner are split between supporters and detractors. And those against the plan are adamant.
"I don't think Boca is ready to embrace a project of this magnitude, and I question whether it ever will be," Weinroth said.

"It's good for us to wait and see how the development we've already approved looks," he said, referring to the 1,702 downtown residences being built, excluding New Mizner.
Still, Shewalter has some enticing projections for what building New Mizner would mean: $12 million in city permit fees, $28 million that condo dwellers would pump into local businesses, an additional $12.2 million in additional taxes for the city and county schools.
He said it also would significantly increase downtown Boca's taxable value, which could mean money for civic improvements, including a long-desired parking garage, mass transit improvements and beautification efforts.
Also, there are plenty of big names associated with the project.
Its designer is architect Daniel Libeskind, whose resume includes the Freedom Tower in New York City and the Jewish Museum Berlin.
The architectural firm working under him is the same firm that designed One Thousand Ocean in Boca, a luxury condo development that sold out last November after racking up $251 million in sales.

Pierre Samaha, owner of Salon Pierre & Co., a downtown hair salon, said he is excited about the New Mizner proposal.

"Downtown Boca has been dormant for many years and having these luxury apartments, retail stores and banks ... is going to bring a lot of young people, intelligent consumers downtown," he said. "We need some of that young crowd that goes out and spends money in Delray."
Charlie Helton, a longtime resident of Boca, said he'll never be convinced that allowing taller buildings in downtown Boca is in the public's interest. He cited other cities that have tall buildings, but higher tax rates than Boca.
"If crowding your downtown with 30-story buildings is beneficial to the community, why doesn't Fort Lauderdale have a lower tax rate?" said the retired IBM Corp. worker.

Fulfill Lifelong Dream of a Teacher Who Envisioned Free Education System in Bangladesh
At Meah Foundation, our sole purpose is to ignite the untapped potential of Bangladeshi students. We find it very difficult to believe that Bangladeshi students who have talents and capabilities to do something great in their lives have to sit back for the lack of money. Therefore, Meah Foundation is committed to providing academic aids to students so that money is the last thing they need to worry about.
Even though we started our scholarship program recently, we are getting great responses from generous people like you
So, Help Us!
In honor of my late father Awal Meah, who was not only a former teacher in his home town of Noakhali in Bangladesh, but who was also a kind hearted and compassionate person I am bringing a dream of his to reality.
During my father's long and difficult battle with kidney disease we spent many hours together talking about everything under the sun from family, to legacy, to love, to passion. It was during this time that I knew I had to continue part of my father's passion and create a legacy that would not only withstand the test of time but would also positively affect those back in our home town of Noakhali, Bangladesh.
You see my father had a great deal of passion for providing for the younger generation of Bangladesh in the form of a no cost education to the less fortunate youth. Unlike some other places around the globe and here in our new home of America a basic education is a basic right, however in Noakhali without the proper finances the youth cannot continue their education in the local school system.
Awal Meah's vision was for a Foundation that would help provide the economic support for the under privileged back home so that it will inspire the younger generation to pursue their dreams and achieve a career in the future . Being able to provide these basic educational essentials to these children and their families was something that my father and now I believe must be done.
With great honor I am now completing his dream. I AHM Rahim , President / director of charity organization , has come together
with a team of great Friends/volunteers in creating the Meah Foundation. Established in 2015 with only three members and five students, who continuously added great work into the organization we began laying the ground work for this great cause.
Since the Meah foundation started we have had 15 students over the years benefit from our donations, and Our foundation has had an impact as more students are steeping into a place to make a difference in their lives. Along with continued community support and outreach our donations have steadily grown and we intend to continue this trend to allow brighter futures to flood the lands of Noakhali Bangladesh.
Our Current & Future Plans
These all are the programs we are currently doing or planning to do in future.
Continue to provide financial aids to 12 brilliant students for the duration of 2015-2016 academic year.
Increase the number of scholarship recipients in 2016-2017 academic year 25 Students.
Helping More Students
We are planning to reach out to new schools and madrashas with financial help so that new needs are met.

Donor Reviews
" It is always a pleasure to be able to help someone in some sort of way. I am glad I had the opportunity to do so through Meah Foundation organization. Education matters a lot and Meah Foundation doing a phenomenal job helping the unprivileged students with great talents and to motivate them to become successful in their future. I wish the Meah Foundation Organization great success for their immense hard and positive work towards the society. " – Md. Shakhawat Ullah
I am extremely glad that I got the opportunity to be part of Meah Foundation. Late respected Mr. Awal Meah was like a grandfather figure for me and he treated me as one of his grandchildren as well. He was an honest and loving individual. I have learned a lot from him. It is unfortunate that he is no longer with us but his dreams remain alive through Meah Foundation. It will be my pleasure to do something for him through this organization and get his blessings upon me. Also doing something for others would be a great satisfaction."
Umme S. Tasnim
This is an excellent non-profit organization with practical future goals. I have personally known the management. They are working diligently to make the future of Bangladeshi children brighter by providing academic scholarships and school supplies.

Is the UK the world's biggest exporter of legal cannabis?
Remember in March, when we posted a news article stating that the UK was the world's largest producer and exporter of legal cannabis for medical and scientific use, according to a report from a UN body?
The report read that the UK produced 95 tonnes of legal cannabis in 2016, more than double the total of the previous year, reveals the UN's International Narcotics Control Board. This accounted for 44.9% of the world total.
This morning, a BBC headline reads: Is the UK the world's biggest exporter of legal cannabis? In addition to the new article challenging information they published in March, they have also included the line "British Sugar – whose managing director is Paul Kenward – has an exclusive deal with pharmaceutical company GW, which makes Epidiolex."
Mike Harlington, Chairman of The Cannabis Trades Assocation has also pointed out the deal isn't exclusive. In actual fact, British Sugar are one of around 40 growers around the UK for GW.
Read the full article below…
As the UK hosts a summit on the state of medical cannabis in Europe, BBC Reality Check asks – does Britain really export more legal cannabis than any other country?
Pro-drug reform campaign group Transform says the government is denying that cannabis has medical uses while at the same time overseeing "the world's biggest government-licensed medical cannabis production and export market".
The UN's International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) says the UK was the main producer and exporter of medical cannabis in 2016. The majority of it ended up in the US.
But virtually all of that is one drug – Sativex – used to treat muscle stiffness and spasms in people with multiple sclerosis. The Home Office doesn't define it as cannabis – but the INCB does.
It's based on two compounds from cannabis plants: cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and does not make people "high" at the prescribed dose. Sativex is available throughout the UK but only provided free on the NHS in Wales.
Cannabis, along with many of the more than 100 chemicals it's made up of, is a controlled substance – possession and supply are punishable with fines and imprisonment.
While THC is the psychoactive chemical- the one which at a great enough concentration produces cannabis's typical "high" – CBD is neither psychoactive nor a controlled substance.
Cannabis is also being grown legally in the UK for another medicine, Epidiolex. This CBD solution is currently being reviewed for the treatment of the form of uncontrollable epilepsy suffered by Alfie Dingley, by medicine agencies in both the US and Europe. But it's not yet available.
The specially bred type of cannabis plant used to make it is grown in a glasshouse in Wissington, Norfolk, by British Sugar – which also grows virtually all of the sugar beet in the UK.
British Sugar – whose managing director is Paul Kenward – has an exclusive deal with pharmaceutical company GW, which makes Epidiolex. Mr Kenward is married to drugs minister Victoria Atkins.
She was accused of "hypocrisy on a grand scale" over her husband's involvement in a legal cannabis farm. She declared the interest in Parliament when she was appointed in 2017 and excused herself from speaking for the government on cannabis.

"I wish I was in Dixie." - Epitaph on Nicole Brown Simpson's headstone
Dixie or Dixieland (not to be mistaken for Disneyland) is an imaginary country celebrated in a number of popular songs and, as such, takes its place not so much among the nations of the earth as it does among other nations of the mind, in a mental atlas alongside Narnia, Middle Earth, Oz, La La Land, Never Never Land, and whatever planets O. J. Simpson, Iron Mike Tyson, Michael Moore, and Barbara Streisand live on these days.
A popular country, the main exports of which are cotton and a distinctive style of disposable paper cups, Dixie makes such a good impression on its visitors that they invariably wish they "were back in the land of cotton." Dixie is known for its jazz music and, despite the imaginary status of the nation, is considered the place of its origin. Since life in Dixie is slow and easy but not always practical or productive, the phrase "just whistling Dixie" has come to mean living a life of bliss and contentment that is, nevertheless, sometimes impractical.
Female residents of Dixie are known as "Dixie Chicks," and several of them have formed a country music group to criticize the president of the United States. Supermarkets in Dixie are known as Win Dixie because, according to the history of the nation, Dixie once fought a war against the United States, opening supermarkets to rally its citizens, figuring that Dixielanders would fight and die for fruits, vegetables, and other foods if such groceries were readily available for a reasonable price. The profits from the sale of such merchandise helped to finance the war, although, ultimately, Dixie lost, a fate that is recounted in another popular song, "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."
Notwithstanding its fictional status, many famous inbred men and women claim to hail from Dixie, including:
Reese Witherspoon, aspiring alcoholic
Ashley Judd, porn star
Alyson Hannigan, founder of Lesbian Witches Are Not Bitches
Helen Keller, blind
William Faulkner, writer of erotic fiction depicting incestuous relationships
Elvis Presley, The Human Pelvis
Dolly Parton, spokeswoman for Bigger Breasts Mean Big Business
Jerry Lee Lewis, pedophile pianist
Jimmy Swaggart, pastor to prostitutes
Robert E. Lee, loser
Bill Clinton, Hillary's husband
Jimmy Carter, peanut farmer
Martin Luther King, Jr., deceased personality honored by more street names than anyone else anywhere
Davy Crockett, bar killer
Dan'l Boone, owner of Boone's Farm's fine wineries
Andy Griffith, survivor of Don's Knots.

I have no particular set number of sessions I recommend clients see me. My happy/successful/satisfied client lengths of therapy have ranged from two sessions to 50 or more, but I would say the typical length I see clients is perhaps 6 to 12 sessions. I actually think there's a lot to be said for seeing a number of different therapists in your life, rather than seeing one person for years. I think different therapists have different insights and strategies to offer, and having a variety of tools to cope with life's stresses is a good thing.
Of course, some issues may benefit from long-term therapy, especially if the issues you're working on took many years to develop, as in the case of childhood trauma. But even with larger or ongoing struggles, much can sometimes be done in a short time, especially if what is being done in therapy is finding new strategies for dealing with particular problems. Even if we don't have time to resolve all your issues, we can often make important aspects of your life better.
The short answer is, you'll decide how long you want to work with me. You'll also find I'm the sort of person who takes your word for it when you say you're done. (I don't have a Beemer I need to make payments on!) Occasionally clients work with me, then stop for a while, and then come back later when a new issue comes up that they need help with.
