Willows chef honored at competition
The Willows at Howell, a Trilogy Health Services community and provider of senior health and hospitality services, took home the bronze medal during Trilogy's Culinary Olympics, a companywide competition that takes place each year at Trilogy's annual spring meeting.
Before the final competition in Columbus, Ohio, chefs from Trilogy's 100 health campuses across Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan pitted their culinary skills against one another in 10 preliminary divisional competitions. A panel of volunteer judges comprised of both residents and community members scored dishes based on presentation; portion control; nutritional value; and application of fresh, seasonal ingredients. One team from each of Trilogy's 10 divisions was present for the final gastronomic gauntlet that took place at rhe Greater Ohio Convention Center.
Adrenaline was running high as chef Darren Wendell and his team prepared their three-course meal, which began with roasted eggplant and garlic soup with red pepper coulis and garlic cracklings. Judges were equally impressed with the team's entrée, roasted beef wellington with caramelized baby carrots, pearl onions, and beet mashed potatoes with a demi-glace, garnished with microgreens and onion. The decadent dessert of an apple spring roll with eggnog crème anglaise, garnished with caramelized Granny Smith apples and fresh strawberries sealed the deal for The Willows, which was presented with the bronze award during Trilogy's Awards Dinner at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
"I am honored to receive this award on behalf of The Willows dining services team. It is our mission to serve our residents healthful, delicious meals, with fresh seasonal ingredients that are handled with an eye to every detail," said Wendell. "Cooking is our passion, and I could think of no better way to put that passion to use than serving seniors in our community. We are humbled by this prestigious recognition, and look forward to returning home and continuing to serve our residents."
The Willows at Howell offers a full range of personalized senior health and hospitality services delivered by staff specially trained to honor and enhance the lives of residents through compassion and commitment to customer service.

It has long been rumored that Chucky, the evil serial killer doll in the movie Child's Play, was based in part on a real-life, 104-year-old doll known as Robert the Doll. The pint-sized chunk of straw-stuffed clothing and cloth was alleged to be possessed by evil spirits that terrorized every family that was unfortunate enough to come into possession of the devilish toy.
Robert the Doll (known variously as Robert the Haunted Doll, Robert the Evil Doll, Robert the Possessed Doll, or Robert the Enchanted Doll) was first owned by talented Key West artist and book author Robert (Gene) Eugene Otto who was given the doll in 1906, when he was just six years old, by an angry Bahamian servant who was well-versed in black magic and voodoo. It was rumored that the Otto family often mistreated the servant girl and the three-foot, sailor-suited doll (with human hair said to have been taken from the young Gene himself) was her revenge for the abuse she suffered at the hands of the Otto family.
Shortly after coming into possession of the doll, which soon became Gene's best friend (it was said the doll never left Gene's side), Gene assigned him his name and called him "Robert". To distinguish between Gene, whose given name was "Robert", and the doll, Gene's parents referred to the stuffed toy as "Robert the Doll".
Gene's parents noted that they often heard him talking to Robert the Doll. Soon they began to hear the doll answering Robert in return. At first they believed that Eugene was simply changing his voice but after neighbors reported seeing the doll moving from window to window while the family was out of the home, they came to suspect that the doll itself had somehow come to life.
The Otto family and their neighbors were not the only persons to witness Robert the Doll's antics. Several guests to the home swore they saw the doll's expression change when they looked at it and that it often blinked its button eyes. Some guests were known to end their visits suddenly telling their hosts that "the doll frightened them". A plumber once fled from the house after turning to look at the doll and seeing it snicker at him with a grimacing, evil grin.
When Gene's parents died, he and his wife inherited the family home. Upon moving into the house, Robert the Doll was discovered locked away in the attic storage (it is presumed that Gene's parents put it there). The doll's influence on Gene was immediately noticeable and despite his wife's (Anne) pleas to keep the doll locked away (she swore she had seen the doll's expression change), Gene insisted that the doll remain in the house and in fact, demanded that it have its own room so it could "see the street".
As Eugene grew older, and the doll's antics began to wear thin, he eventually allowed Robert the Haunted Doll to be placed back into the attic. Despite once again being secured in the upstairs room, Robert the Doll continued to affect the family and their friends. Guests to the home claimed to hear footsteps and movement in the attic, often followed by demonic laughter. Pedestrians on the street noted seeing the doll peering from the attic's turret window. School children told their parents that the doll taunted them as they walked past the home (soon all children began crossing the street to avoid passing in front of the house). It was even rumored that Gene often found the doll in a downstairs rocking chair and that he would seize the doll and return it to the attic only to find it again rocking in the chair some time later.
In 1974, Eugene Otto died and the Robert the Doll, which had remained Gene's companion and friend for the entirety of his life, was placed in a locked trunk in the attic of the home (which by this time, was known as the Artist House) where it remained until a new family moved into the home. One of the new residents, a ten-year-old girl, fell in love with the stuffed toy. Soon after taking possession of the doll, things took a turn for the worse. The young girl often found her dolls with their heads popped off. It was not long before the girl began screaming out in the night, claiming that Robert moved about the room and even attempted to attack her on multiple occasions. When the family discovered their dog in the living room tied tightly with cord, they returned Robert the Doll to the attic. After the girl reached adulthood, she still stood by her childhood claim that Robert the Doll was alive – and evil.
Located at located at 534 Eaton Street, the Artist House is now a bread and breakfast business and is included on many of the city's ghost tours. The Discovery Channel was intrigued enough to feature the Artist House on a program called Would you Believe It. It reported that Anne has been seen descending the turret room staircase. She was described as beautiful and wearing her wedding dress. The Artist House was also featured on William Shatner's "Weird or What" as well as Travel Channel's "Mysteries at the Museum".
Visitors today can see Robert the Haunted Doll at the Key West Martello Museum or at the Historic Custom House a few blocks down during the month of October. Some say that the doll occasionally taps on the glass to scare visitors and employees always leave a bag of peppermints in his case with him in an attempt to cajole him into misbehaving. They swear there are always candies missing when they return the next morning.
If you want a snapshot memento however, be forewarned – legend says that in order to take a picture of the doll, you must ask for its permission first. If the doll moves its head in agreement then it is OK to snap a picture. If not, and you choose to take a picture without the doll's permission, the doll will "curse the person and their family" for eternity. The walls of the museum are covered with letters from people asking Robert to remove the curse.
The following is an email from a Key West resident that provides a bit more history on how Robert the Haunted Doll came to be.
"The servant was dismissed from the Otto household because Mrs. Otto spotted the 4 servants in the backyard doing some form of what she thought to be black magic. Robert (the little boy) did not go by the name Gene, he was called "Robert". He only started going by Gene when one day his mother scolded him using his name, and he told her that his name was not Robert, the doll's name was Robert, and his name was Gene.
Lara Benario, Associate Producer of the Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum, said that the crew attempted to film Robert the Doll for their television series but experienced many problems with their best HD camera. At first the camera would not work at all. The film crew presumed it was due to the weather. Eventually the camera began to function and the segment was filmed. Before packing up and leaving, they checked the film and were surprised to find that it was blank. After attempting, but failing, to have another camera shipped to the location, a backup camera was used but this time the film crew asked Robert the Doll for permission before filming. They got the shots they were seeking.


A 15-year-old boxer became the National Champion at 50kg's earlier this month.
Bobby Faulkner secured the NABC Championship after winning the final on a unanimous point's decision in Portsmouth.
Having envisaged the day for the past four years, the talented youngster was finally able to make his dream of lifting national silverware a reality.
Bobby – 3X ABA Northwest Champion – was backed by raucous crowd of family and friends.
Such was the magnitude of the occasion, that Bobby's father and cornerman, Rob, had made a 560 mile trip from Scotland to see his son compete on the South Coast.
Bobby's mother, Jennie, expressed her delight on the latest victory. She said: "Bobby feels on top of the world after being crowned the national champion earlier this month.
"It has been a long journey, travelling all over the country with his dad and coaches, Ryan and Assam.
2015 has been a remarkable year for the teenager in many respects.
His journey to the national final was impressive to say the least.
His first fight took place in Liverpool at the beginning of November against the Merseyside and Cheshire Champion.
A spirited performance saw Bobby rewarded with a unanimous victory.
Next on the agenda was a trip across the Pennines to Sheffield, where Bobby once again won on a unanimous point's decision against the Yorkshire Champion.
Described as his toughest bout, the National Semi-Final was held in Bridlington against the European Champion.
In what was a closely contested fight, Bobby's arm was raised as the winner once again, this time on a split decision.
Having been unstoppable in the lead up to the final, Bobby was brimming with confidence. Jennie said: "Bobby felt assured of himself ahead of the final.
"He was so determined to win with the whole family around him.
"Prior to the fight, I asked Bobby, "what will you do if you don't win?".
Bobby – who studies GCSE PE at Wright Robinson Sports College – has applied to go to the AASE Boxing College in Bolton.
Despite his tender age, Bobby has sights set on becoming a professional boxer in the not too distant future.
Given what he's achieved and the way he conducts himself, Bobby's ambition looks more than tangible.
Jennie couldn't agree more. She added: "Bobby truly believes that if he continues to work hard and dedicate his time to boxing, then he can become a professional boxer.
"He has applied to go to the AASE Boxing College in Bolton, but we're still awaiting a reply from them.
February brings the ABA Championships (Amateur Boxing Association) where Bobby's goal is to remain the English Champion.
Using his spare time to read his boxing magazine subscriptions, Bobby seems primed for even greater things.
However, with the festive season well underway, he's taking some time to heal and recover. Jennie concluded:"Bobby is currently having a week of choosing his favourite teas and indulging in some chocolate, before returning to his diet and intense training regime.

Abe to seek Cuba's help over North Korea and boost trade during trip
A Havana mural quotes Fidel Castro: "Revolution is a sense of the historical moment; it changes everything that must be changed." | ISTOCK
by Ayako Mie
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hopes to gain support from the Cuban government, with its close ties to Pyongyang, in dealing with North Korea's nuclear provocations and also expand economic ties when he makes the first ever visit by a Japanese leader to the communist nation this week.
Abe is to meet with Cuban President Raul Castro and his brother, Fidel Castro, the former president and an icon of the Cuban revolution.
Cuba normalized diplomatic ties last year with the U.S., its former archenemy. The move led to President Barack Obama's historic visit to Cuba earlier this year.
As U.S.-Cuban relations enter a new phase, Japan is also eyeing closer ties with the nation, triggering Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida's visit there last year, the first by a Japanese foreign minister.
Abe's trip also comes as the international community seeks ways to counter North Korea, which has had sound ties to Cuba since 1960. Cuba has in the past tried to ship arms to North Korea despite a U.N. embargo on the isolated country. In May, senior officials from the ruling Korean Workers' Party and the Communist Party of Cuba held talks on strengthening ties amid international condemnation against the North.
"We would like to seek Cuba's understanding and cooperation for the resolution of North Korea-related issues such as abduction (of Japanese citizens), nuclear arms and missiles," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said Wednesday.
Following the fifth nuclear test by the North, Japan, the U.S. and South Korea have become increasingly alarmed by the technological advances Pyongyang has made with its nuclear arsenal. Some expect that the North will soon master the technology to miniaturize nuclear warheads and could have the capability to strike locations as far as Washington and New York within a few years.
The three countries have been seeking support for drafting a new U.N. resolution with stronger sanctions since the test. The North Korean issue will be one of the focal points in the upcoming U.N. General Assembly session, which Abe will attend before his trip to Cuba.
With Abe's trip, Japan also hopes to bolster economic ties as global powers such as the U.S., the EU and China eye business opportunities there.
China has been one of Cuba's top economic partners. Premier Li Keqiang will also visit Cuba this month following his trip to attend the U.N. General Assembly session. In 2014, President Xi Jinping signed investment deals during his trip to Cuba.
Cuba's trade with China totaled $61 million in 2014, while its trade with the U.S. was $15 million, according to Cuban statistics cited in documents from the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO). Japan lagged behind with a total of $3 million.
Against this backdrop, Abe is expected to announce debt relief of ¥120 billion ($1.17 billion) — about three-fourths of the total debt that Cuba owes Japan. He also is expected to offer about ¥1 billion ($9.74 million) in official development aid, a portion of which would be used to establish training facilities for special physicians.
Debt relief will open up the possibility of yen loans if Cuba continues to repay the rest of the debt. Last year, 15 rich creditor nations in the Paris Club agreed with Cuba to forgo $8.5 billion of Cuba's $11.1 billion debt stemming from its 1986 default. That could also pave the way for long-term trade insurance by the Nippon Export and Investment Insurance agency, reviving more big-ticket trade, depending on the debt negotiations between the governments.
Japanese trading companies are already seeking more business opportunities there. Trading giants Mitsubishi Corp. and Marubeni Corp. reopened their offices in Havana this year after having previously closed them due to sluggish economic conditions.
They expect a boom in projects to replace Cuba's aging infrastructure as well as an increase in trade in some consumer products.
Sumitomo Corp., which has operated in Cuba since 1974, is monitoring negotiations between the two governments. Sojitz Corp., which has an office there, is taking a wait-and-see approach, as business in Cuba can still be risky given that U.S. sanctions remain in place.
Other business hurdles also exist. Unable to directly employ Cubans, firms have to hire through government agencies. Cuba is also short of foreign reserves.
Yusuke Nishizawa, deputy director in charge of Latin America and the Caribbean at JETRO, said it's important for companies to have offices in Cuba, as it is hard to gain information about the country. Still, he doesn't expect a spike in business. "I am sure there are chances, but it will take time," he said.

Wall Street Journal accused of concealing writers' Mitt Romney links
Roy Greenslade, The Guardian
Veteran journalists attack Murdoch paper for failure to disclose writers' political sympathies
The Wall Street Journal has been criticised by senior US journalists for failing to disclose that 10 of its op-ed writers are Mitt Romney advisers.
According to an inquiry by Media Matters, 23 pieces in the WSJ's op-ed pages attacked President Obama or praised Romney without the writers acknowledging their political connections to Romney.
Max Frankel, a former New York Times executive editor, called the lack of disclosure "shameless." He added: "They ought to put a banner saying Romney has approved of this page… It looks like the Wall Street Journal editorial and op ed pages have enlisted in the campaign. They should be disclosing that."
"Not disclosing is inexcusable," declared Stephen Henderson, editorial page editor of the Detroit Free Press. "It is important to disclose that so that the reader can evaluate the argument intelligently," said Nicholas Goldberg, Los Angeles Times editorial page editor, adding that transparency is "absolutely essential."
John Diaz, editorial page editor for the San Francisco Chronicle, said the prominence of the writers should have raised a red flag that they could be Romney advisers.
Harold Jackson of the Philadelphia Inquirer, said: "I don't know why it would be harmful for them to disclose those kinds of connections. I think readers would expect it."
A review by Media Matters on September 19 named the 10 WSJ writers with strong Romney links as John Bolton; Max Boot; Lee Casey; Paula Dobriansky; Mary Ann Glendon; Glenn Hubbard; Paul Peterson; David Rivkin Jr; Martin West; and Michael Mukasey.
The Wall Street Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. Murdoch has made it abundantly clear in his many tweets that he supports Romney.

Legislators are expected to introduce bills in the upcoming session to ban pretextual stops and consent searches. (Dusanpetkovic1/Adobestock)
PIERRE, S.D. — Anti-pipeline-protest legislation that opponents say could chill free speech in South Dakota is on its way to Gov. Kristi Noem for a signature. The legislation was introduced by Noem days before the session ended - while many tribal members who opposed the bills were across the country on other business.
Senate Bill 189 establishes civil penalties for "riot boosting," or contributing money to or encouraging violent pipeline protesters. Libby Skarin, policy director with the American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota, believes the rushed legislation goes further to stifle free speech than just pipeline protests.
"The way this bill is written, it is clear that it will be able to be used to wrap up people who are merely speaking, who are using their First Amendment rights to speak up and protest pipelines or whatever else might happen in the future," Skarin said. "So, this is not going to be solely related to pipelines."
A second bill creates a funding source for the state to recoup any "extraordinary costs," such as the millions faced by North Dakota after hundreds were arrested during protests of the Keystone XL pipeline. South Dakota tribal chairmen say they were not consulted about the bills, despite the governor's promise to work with them in her January inaugural speech.
The bills would protect the nearly 1,200-mile long Keystone XL pipeline, a planned TransCanada project that would slice through the state and carry 830,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Skarin said representatives of the Great Plains Tribal Chairman's Association, representing the leaders of 16 tribes in the region, also were not consulted about the legislation.
"A lot of the tribal chairmen in South Dakota were actually in Washington, D.C., as part of their official duties," she said. "So, this bill was pushed through arguably in the one week when a lot of the leaders of the tribes could not physically be present in Pierre."
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe lobbyist Remi Bald Eagle told a legislative committee the bills send a message that South Dakota is "more interested in getting paid to suppress its citizens' rights than it is paying attention to the rights of its citizens." He added the tribe does not support riots, but rather, encourages peaceful public assembly.
By nearly every measure, voter fraud in U.S. elections is rare, but that isn't stopping the Texas Legislature from considering dozens of bills this session, some of which a voter rights group calls "extreme."
The Texas Republican Party has made election security one of its legislative priorities this year, with bills introduced to further restrict access to the ballot box. In contrast, Democrats are pushing legislation to expand voting access.
Texas ACLU senior attorney Matt Simpson said he believes some of the bills, including one to change the penalty for illegal voting from a misdemeanor to a felony, will create fear and intimidate people at the polls.
"If you take a step back, and you try to identify where the election fraud is that's being targeted - all of these proposals, more or less, amount to solutions in search of a problem," he said, "and Texas hasn't really had an election-fraud problem."
Following the defeat of Donald Trump by President Joe Biden in 2020, Texas' GOP-dominated Legislature approved multiple new voting restrictions including rules for voting by mail, a prohibition on drive-through and 24-hour voting, and a reduction in local initiatives meant to make it easier to vote.
One Republican proposal would create a new law-enforcement unit to prosecute election crimes, modeled after a law authorized by Florida's Republican governor. The Texas unit, to be led by state "election marshals," would prosecute election and voting crimes.
Simpson, who has monitored actions at the Capitol since 2009, isn't convinced it's needed.
"There's, like, a very small segment of Republican voters that that's a priority for," he said, "and yet we're seeing just this large number of proposals - a lot of conversation about it - and I just wonder where the mismatch is."
A 359-page audit of the 2020 election was released by the Texas secretary of state's office. It reviewed the two largest Democratic counties and two largest Republican ones and found some "irregularities," but concluded they were largely related to holding an election during a pandemic.

North Dakota is expected to see continued debate in the coming weeks over a plan to ban certain items from public libraries.
While the plan has its supporters, there appears to be a large amount of opposition amid concerns surrounding censorship. The proposal would ban what are described as "sexually explicit books."
The bill's supporters said they are especially concerned about children accessing certain materials, pointing to a well-known illustrated book advising teens on sex-related topics.
Cody Schuler, advocacy manager for the ACLU of North Dakota, said this approach is problematic, adding it is a First Amendment issue.
"When we tell someone else what to think, when we impose our religious or moral beliefs on other individuals, that's infringing on freedom of thought," Schuler pointed out.
He added there is no practical way to enforce the proposed law. The bill also seeks to ban books with visuals dealing with matters such as gender identity. The measure's Republican sponsor testified he believes it is not a political issue, but rather a way to protect kids.
However, the American Library Association has argued a national movement to ban books is part of a coordinated effort to silence marginalized voices and deprive young people of a chance to learn about challenging matters.
Despite what the bill's sponsor said, Schuler feels it is a "culture-war" issue, which is not needed. He argued it is because many of the examples provided by supporters do not meet the legal definition of pornography.
"A children's book talking about human sexuality that would have friendly drawings, that would help children understand their bodies, is not child pornography, is not obscene," Schuler argued.
The ACLU added the U.S. Supreme Court has raised the bar very high when it comes to the constitution and defining obscenity.
Most of those who testified during a committee hearing on the bill this week opposed the idea, with some saying if children do not receive adequate sexual education in their school, they need another place to lean important information.
Book ban data American Library Assn. 09/16/2022
Black teenagers ages 15 to 17 are six times more likely to be searched by police compared with their white counterparts, according to a report from the California Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board released this week.
The board crunched the numbers from more than 3 million traffic and pedestrian stops done in 2021 by 58 police agencies.
Melanie Ochoa, outgoing vice chair of the board and the director of police practices for the ACLU of Southern California, said about 94% of police stops were self-initiated, not in response to a call for service. And 87% of those are traffic stops.
"It's a low-hanging fruit," Ochoa contended. "It's easy to find someone who is potentially committing a traffic violation, when it's actually intended to do more basic searches without any evidence of other criminal activity being present at the time."
The data showed Black people were stopped at more than twice their percentage in the population, and Latinx people at 7% more, whereas white people were stopped at 4% less than their population level. The report recommended police agencies cease making what are called "pre-textual" stops, where there is no reasonable suspicion or probable cause of criminal activity.
Ochoa added research shows contact with law enforcement can be traumatic.
"Interacting with officers correlates with higher distress, anxiety, trauma, depression, increased risk of suicidal ideation, paranoia, post-traumatic stress and trauma-induced sleep deprivation, particularly for youth," Ochoa explained.
The Los Angeles Police Department revised its policies last year to reduce the number of pretextual stops. The report also recommended police agencies move to ban so-called consent searches, and instead limit searches to cases where there is probable cause.

The Neimoidian Inner Circle was a governing body established by thhe people of Neimoidia and the other purse worlds. It might have been ruled by a trade monarch. It was associated with the Trade Federation, whose Viceroy, if a Neimoidian, served as the leader of the Inner Circle. Nute Gunray was the only known Neimoidian to have led this government as Trade Federation Viceroy and considering this it is possible that his successor Sentepeth Findos also commanded the Inner Circle as Acting-Viceroy.


Article - Are You Ready For The Judgment Day?
The Bible clearly teaches that God has a day prepared when He will judge all men. To the idolatrous people in Athens, Paul declared that God "…has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead" (Acts 17:30-31). For many people this will be the saddest day of their life. They did not prepare spend their life preparing for this day. As a result, they will be lost (Matthew 25:1-10). To others, this will be the most wonderful day of their life. They spent their life preparing for this day and were ready to go to Heaven (Matthew 25:23). For The Day of Judgment to be a happy day for us we must understand the nature of this day. Let us consider several biblical characteristics of The Judgment Day.
Judgment is certain in action. The Judgment Day of God is as certain as the fact that each person must one day die. The Hebrews writer stated, "It is appointed to man once to die and then the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). Paul reminds us of the surety of God's Judgment when he writes, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." So then each of us will give an account of himself to God" (Romans 14:11-12). It has often been said that there are two things certain in this life: death and taxes. To that list we would also add The Judgment Day.
Judgment is uncertain in time. Concerning the day of God's judgment, Jesus said "Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect" (Matthew 24:44). Paul taught the Thessalonians that the Lord's coming would be as a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3). Paul's point is you don't know when a thief is coming to rob you, nor do you know when the Lord is coming again. Jesus taught that only the Father knew the time of His return and judgment (Matthew 24:36). The reason God did not tell us when He was coming in judgment is because He knows our nature. If God told us exactly when He was coming then we would very likely squander our time down to the very last minute and then try to get ready. We are terrible procrastinators. Judgment could happen at any time. Are you ready for it?
Judgment will be by The Book. When God judges the world, the standard for judgment will be the Bible. Jesus said, "He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him — the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day" (John 12:48). Each of us will have our deeds in this life compared with the Word of God to see if they are right (2 Corinthians 5:10-11). If we are going to be judged by God's word, then we must also live by God's word.
Friend, are you ready for The Judgment Day? If you have lived right and been faithful to God then you will have a home in Heaven. However, if you have not lived by the Bible, but instead have lived a life of sin it will be a sad, sad day. To those who were unfaithful to His will Jesus said, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41). May God help all of us to prepare for The Judgment Day.

A combinatorial spectrum is to a spectrum of topological spaces as a simplicial set is to a topological space: it is a graded set that behaves like a set of simplices constituting a space, where the special property is that the simplices are not just in non-negative degree n∈ℕn \in \mathbb{N} but in all integral degrees n∈ℤn \in \mathbb{Z}.
A combinatorial spectrum is (Kan 63, def. 4.1)
a sequence E={E n} n∈ℤE = \{E_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} of pointed sets
equipped for each n∈ℤn \in \mathbb{Z} and i∈ℕi \in \mathbb{N} with
morphisms of pointed sets d i:E n→E n−1d_i : E_n \to E_{n-1} called face maps;
morphisms of pointed sets s i:E n→E n+1s_i : E_n \to E_{n+1} called degeneracy maps
such that
the usual simplicial identities are satisfied;
each simplex has only finitely many faces different from the point of E n−1E_{n-1}: i.e. for every x∈E nx \in E_n there are only finitely many i∈ℕi \in \mathbb{N} for which d i(x)d_i(x) is not the point.
The standard simplicial sets corresponding to the standard simplices have their analogs for simplicial spectra. . The difference is that regarded as a spectrum the kk-simplex may sit in any degree n∈ℕn \in \mathbb{N}, not necessarily in degree kk.
The (k+1)(k+1)-simplex in degree nn. For each integer n∈ℤn \in \mathbb{Z} and k∈ℕk \in \mathbb{N} there is a spectrum
Δ k[n−k] \Delta^{k}[n-k]
which is generated from a single element x∈E nx \in E_n subject to the relation that d ix=*d_i x = * for i>ki \gt k. So this is something with (k+1)(k+1)-faces, hence looking like a kk-simplex, but sitting in degree nn.
The sub-spectrum
∂(Δ k[n−k]) \partial (\Delta^{k}[n-k])
of Δ k[n−k]\Delta^{k}[n-k] generated by the faces d ixd_i x. This is the boundary of the kk-simplex in degree nn.
S n S^n
generated by a single simplex x∈E nx \in E_n subject to the relation d ix=0d_i x = 0 for all ii. This is the nn-sphere as a spectrum.
The sub-spectrum Λ j k[n−k]\Lambda^{k}_j[n-k] for 0≤j≤k0 \leq j \leq k is the sub-spectrum of Δ k[n−k]\Delta^{k}[n-k] generated from all the faces d ixd_i x except d jxd_j x. This is the jjth horn of the kk-simplex in degree nn. Compare with the horn of a simplex.
As for simplices, there are canonical horn inclusion morphisms of combinatorial spectra
Λ j k[n−k]↪Δ k[n−k]. \Lambda^k_j[n-k] \hookrightarrow \Delta^k[n-k] \,.
A condition entirely analogous to the Kan fibration condition on Kan simplicial sets leads to the notion of Kan combinatorial spectrum.
The category of combinatorial spectra admits a model structure (Brown 73), whose cofibrations are monomorphisms and weak equivalences are maps that induce isomorphisms on homotopy groups.
Generating (acyclic) cofibrations are given by inclusions of horns respectively boundaries into stable simplices, as defined in the previous section, in complete analogy with the usual Kan-Quillen model structure on simplicial sets. (Acyclic) fibrations are maps satisfying the corresponding lifting properties.
This is indeed a model structure for spectra, related by a zig-zag of Quillen equivalences to the Bousfield-Friedlander model structure on sequential spectra (Bousfield-Friedlander 78, section 2.5). See also below.
In (Brown 73, Appendix A) is defined a smash product of spectra on the homotopy category of combinatorial spectra. The main idea is to define the smash product of a stable mm-simplex and a stable nn-simplex to be the stable (m+n)(m+n)-simplex whose face maps are defined using the face maps of the two simplices involved using a formula that somewhat resembles the formula for the differential of the tensor product of two chain complexes.
Whether or not it is possible to introduce a symmetric monoidal smash product on the category of combinatorial spectra obtaining a monoidal model category that is Quillen equivalent to the monoidal model category of (say) symmetric simplicial spectra is currently an open problem.
From the perspective of a combinatorial spectrum, an "intuitive spectrum" is supposed to be some sort of space-like object having "cells in all integer dimensions," while a "space" (or simplicial set) has cells only in nonnegative dimensions. The traditional definitions of spectra approximate this intuition by using a sequence of spaces {E n}\{E_n\} with maps E n→ΩE n+1E_n \to \Omega E_{n+1} or ΣE n→E n+1\Sigma E_n \to E_{n+1}, where we think of the space E nE_n as being "shifted down by nn dimensions." Thus, for instance, the (−2)(-2)-cells of the spectrum can come from 0-cells of E 2E_2, or 1-cells in E 3E_3, or 2-cells in E 4E_4, etc. The structure maps ΣE n→E n+1\Sigma E_n \to E_{n+1} support this intuition, since the suspension Σ\Sigma shifts things up by one dimension; thus it maps the kk-cells of E nE_n into the k+1k+1-cells of E n+1E_{n+1}.
In fact, this can be made precise: starting from a spectrum of simplicial sets, in the sense of a sequence of spaces with maps ΣE n→E n+1\Sigma E_n \to E_{n+1}, one can construct a combinatorial spectrum by "piecing together" the cells in all dimensions. This construction can be found in Kan's original article; it provides an equivalence of homotopy theories between combinatorial spectra and ordinary spectra built from simplicial sets. In (Bousfield-Friedlander 78, section 2.5) this is lifted to a zig-zag of Quillen equivalence between the model structure for Kan's combinatorial spectra and the Bousfield-Friedlander model structure on sequential spectra in sSet to
I don't know whether anyone has gone back to treat combiantorial from a "modern" standpoint, such as by putting a monoidal model category structure on combinatorial spectra. They do seem less interesting and useful from a modern standpoint, because no one has ever managed to give them a smash product which is associative and unital on the point-set level; thus they don't provide a good framework for talking about (A ∞A_\infty or E ∞E_\infty) ring spectra, module spectra, and other aspects of brave new algebra. It's also not clear how hard anyone has tried, though. Presumably one would have to modify the definition by incorporating the "symmetries" somehow, as is done for example by passing from ordinary simplicial-set spectra to symmetric spectra.
Combinatorial spectra internal to abelian groups (Kan 63, def. 51) are equivalent to chain complexes (Kan 63, prop.5.8). See at stable Dold-Kan correspondence for more on this.

Hattie Brooks has traded her homestead life of plowing, scaring off wolves, and placating fussy chickens for the more predictable drudgery of mopping up at Brown's Boardinghouse in not-so-Great Falls, Montana.
When a vaudeville act comes to town and offers her a job, Hattie grabs the chance to move to San Francisco, where she can chase her dream of becoming a big-time newspaper reporter.
The San Francisco of 1919 presents the strong but naïve young Hattie with a bewildering array of people and possibilities. One of the city's attractions for Hattie is its connection to Uncle Chester, who died and left her the land in Montana (the setting for Ms. Larson's first novel, the Newbery Honor-winning Hattie Big Sky).
She has learned her uncle left behind a sweetheart, who might be able to shed light on the benefactor she never knew. Forever hopeful, Hattie sets about tracking down the woman called Ruby.
Hattie not only finds Ruby, but she also trades her work with the vaudeville act for a cleaning job—at the buzzing offices of The San Francisco Chronicle. She decides to keep the humble nature of her new job to herself, as even those dearest to her—Perilee, her sisterly neighbor forced to abandon Montana; and Charlie, who has some claim on her heart and would no doubt question the wisdom of her choice. Their clear preference is for Hattie to join them in Seattle.
But of course, one reason Hattie remains such an engaging protagonist is her sassy, resilient nature that enables her to overcome the challenges of being an orphan on her own. While the conflict in this fast-moving sequel might not encompass the first novel's dramatic descriptions of such life-or-death matters as hunger, racism and war, Hattie Ever After packs in plenty of high stakes risks to engage both new and returning fans of Hattie.
No stranger to taking on unlikely goals, Hattie aims to become a reporter in a cutthroat, male-dominated industry. She might be a cleaning woman today, but she keeps on writing. Instead of describing her life on the prairie, as she did in the first novel, Hattie focuses on the diverse places and people around her, such as the hardworking independent women who clean the offices.
And she takes advantage of her lowly position at the newspaper to spend her breaks with the stacks of old papers in the morgue. Fortuitously, this practice helps bring her to the attention of the overworked news desk. Soon, Hattie's job includes a few hours of researching questions for the reporters.
It appears Hattie's on her way, especially as a certain handsome reporter, Ned, takes on the role of mentor—and perhaps, as a suitor, as well. The author, however, shows Hattie's growing maturity as she learns to rely on her own abilities, to be true to herself and her feelings for Charlie, and not to trust every smiling face. Ned, in fact, turns out to be one of two devious characters hiding a benign façade.
Hattie's big break arrives by way of a humorous convergence of surprising events that encompass her superb pitching skills, an opera diva, a pilot itching to show off, and a brusque, older reporter who urges the budding writer to soar—literally. Hattie has the chutzpah and the talent to pull off a coup that will lead to her own bylines—and the career for which she yearns.
Hattie Ever After provides a welcome view of a likable young woman's full-throttled claim on life in the early 20th century.

Towneley Hall located in Towneley Park, Burnley's largest and most popular park, was the home of the Towneley family for over 500 years. In 1901 both the hall and the park were sold to Burnley Corporation and a year later the house was opened as a Museum. A variety of displays are now housed there, based around Natural History, Egyptology, Local History, Textiles, Decorative Art and Regional Furniture.
Burnley Borough Council approached Universal AV in January 2013 as they were looking to update the audio visual equipment being used in a Lecture Theatre in Towneley Hall. Universal proposed to replace the existing rear projection system with a new front mounted projector and a new fixed framed screen. The aim was to improve the image size and quality as well as simplifying the operation of the system. It was agreed that the new Panasonic PT-RW330EA Solid-State projector would suit their needs for a long-term solution to their requirements. It was also recommended to replace the current speakers with a pair of active speakers, in order to simplify the operation of the system.
As well as the Panasonic projector and powered speakers, the installation was to include a single gang wall-plate with VGA, HDMI, Composite Video and Audio connections located in the rear projection room and an additional wall plate with VGA, HDMI and Audio connections located in the main room. A Kramer VP-728 multi-input matrix switcher / scaler would be used to allow routing of the various signals.
In March the Council gave the go ahead to the project and the installation of the system with a project value just short of £4000 was completed over the course of a day towards the end of the month.
"I can confirm that we were highly satisfied with the pre installation planning meetings, and the installation by your team on the day, The system has made a huge difference to the facilities we can now offer to our clients and regular users.
After struggling for 10 years with our old system, I can confirm that the new system works like a dream, is easy to use and understand.
Thank you once again for your after sales service"

8 American Soccer Teens Who May or May Not Have Lived Up to the Hype
By Jason Davis | September 23, 2016 | 10:25am
Soccer Galleries
Pennsylvanian teenager Christian Pulisic has set American soccer fans' imaginations alight with his sudden arrival an elite European club. At just 18 years old, Pulisic has not only earned a place in manager Thomas Tuchel's team at Borussia Dortmund, he's shown flashes that have people talking him up as the potential greatest American player of all time.
Is that hype? Sure, but at least Pulisic is giving people good reason to get excited at the top level. The history of American soccer is awash with highly touted teenagers who either never met their supposed potential or who took a few years before they fulfilled it.
With Pulisic's rocket ride to stardom in mind, we've put together a gallery of eight Americans who earned attention while still teenagers; some who came good, some who did not, and some who are still shy of their twentieth birthday even now.
1 of 8 Freddy Adu may have been the most famous teenager in American soccer history, and one of first American players to be known worldwide. Adu's story--signed at 14, overhyped like crazy, thrust into Sierra Mist ads with Pele--remains a cautionary tale invoked in every case of an American teenager popping into the soccer consciousness since. Adu was (is?) innately talented, but was probably ruined in by the early exploitation of that talent by MLS and others.
2 of 8 Jozy Altidore was the classic "raw" striker when the soon-to-be Red Bulls drafted him out of Boca Raton, Florida in 2006. He debuted at 16 and was good enough in New York to earn a transfer to Villarreal of Spain for $10 million transfer--a record sale price for an MLS player to this day. After bouncing around Europe for a number of years, Altidore is now 26 and again plying his trade in MLS. His international resume is strong and includes 37 goals for the USMNT.
3 of 8 Very rarely are defenders identified and hyped so young, but English-American centerback Cameron Carter-Vickers is already being touted as the future at his position for both Tottenham Hotspur and the USMNT. At 18, Carter-Vickers is still in the stage of his development where youth level games and the occasional cup match make up most of his minutes. Not yet cap-tied, Carter-Vickers could end up playing for England if Jurgen Klinsmann and company drag their feet too long.
4 of 8 Drafted by D.C. United in 2000, the 16-year old Bobby Convey was the youngest player ever signed by MLS at the time. He went on to Reading a few years later, helping the Royals earn promotion to the Premier League. An extremely gifted left winger, Convey sometimes had clashes with managers and never really lived up to his potential.
5 of 8 Yes, Landon Donovan just un-retired at the age of 34, but way back in 1999 he was a precocious 17-year old burning up the U17 World Cup in New Zealand. His performance there earned him the Golden Ball for best player and a contract with Bayer Leverkusen. It didn't work out in Germany, but Donovan went on to have a pretty decent career.
6 of 8 As a member of U.S. Soccer's residency academy in Bradenton, Eddie Gaven signed with MLS just after his 16th birthday in 2003--breaking the record held by Bobby Convey. Gaven set records for youngest goalscorer and All-Star Game selection with the MetroStars before moving to the Crew in 2005. Always a serviceable-to-very good winger in MLS, Gaven never really rose above that level, playing just 8 times for the USMNT.
7 of 8 In many ways, Julian Green is similar to Pulisic. Both are attached to big clubs in Germany, both are attacking players, and both have been seen as the future of the USMNT. The similarities end with the reality that Green has played very little senior level soccer and was still in Bayern Munich's reserve squad at the age Pulisic is now. After making the World Cup team in 2014 at 19 and even scoring against Belgium, Green's club fortunes took a bad turn. Now 21, Green is out of the USMNT picture while he tries to make headway on playing time in one of the most talent-rich clubs in the world.
8 of 8 Eddie Johnson was a speedy 17-year old forward out of Florida when drafted by the then Dallas Burn in 2001. Despite the hype around him, Johnson saw limited time during his teenage years and didn't break through as a goalscorer until 2007--a season that earned him a move to Fulham. Forced to retire in 2015 due to a heart condition, Johnson's legacy is marked by his very up-and-down career.

MANCHESTER UNITED boss Louis van Gaal could turn to Valencia's £35 million rated Argentinian star Nicolas Otamendi to solve his defensive problems.
Van Gaal has had Borussia Dortmund's German World Cup winner Mats Hummels as his number one target to strengthen the Old Trafford back line.
But Dortmund are so far refusing to consider any bids which has left the Dutchman frustrated, especially in the knowledge that the player is keen to come to the Premier League.
That's why United have now made firm enquiries over 27-year-old Otamendi who is currently with Argentina in the Copa America.
Valencia though will only consider offers in the region of £35 million for the central defender – a figure which United are reluctant to pay.
Van Gaal is currently on holiday leaving his list of targets with executive vice chairman Ed Woodward.
But it's likely that many will remain on the list until he comes back with clubs holding out for huge fees.
United themselves aren't prepared to let their outstanding keeper David de Gea go cheaply insisting that Real Madrid stump up around £35 million for the Spanish star who is anxious to return to his home city.
With the De Gea business rumbling on United continue to ask for Madrid players to come in the other direction with Gareth Bale the number one choice ahead of Karim Benzema and Raphael Varane.
With United not taking up the option on Radamel Falcao, a player who now interests Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, Van Gaal is anxious to bring in more firepower with Atletico Madrid's Mario Mandzukic and Tottenham's Harry Kane amongst the names being considered.

As a community that loves and respects Richard Pryor, we've all agreed to speak politely of Superman III. But I can't help but ruminate on the '83 film today, encouraged by reports of the latest induction into the spectrum of super-powered cinema: a Spider-Man film written by Vacation writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, the duo also responsible for Horrible Bosses and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Comparison to Richard Jenner's second Supes entry is not meant as a prediction of what breed of film we're gearing up to see. Perhaps even of the new direction the genre on the whole seems willing to brave.
Superman III is one of the few DC Comics properties translated to screen that is canonically categorized as a comedy. While such a designation might seem alien to those affixed to the contemporary "no jokes" period, it was not always out of line to expect a couple of laughs from Clark Kent — Richard Donner's original Superman picture surely had a sense of humor — or Bruce Wayne — the '66 Batman was indeed a laugh first, an adventure second, though that's not at all a bad thing. In a post-Nolan era, we're saddled insistently with the glowers of Zack Snyder and David Ayer.
The surge of comic book movies to the forefront of pop culture has shone as a victory for those privately championing the source material for decades. The reproduction of the community's cherished properties onscreen, at the center of public attention, rebranded their passions with a new widespread reverence. Disney, in particular, has exhibited a liberal acceptance of levity with its Marvel Cinematic Universe. Granted, the embrace only came to fruition in earnest midway through the franchise's Phase II. While early MCU entries touted quips and sight gags aplenty, it was not until after The Avengers that laughter became a chief priority for the films in question. Iron Man 3 structured scenes around and sacrificed action beats in the name of jokes. The ante was upped in Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Age of Ultron alike, prompting accolades of "the funniest Marvel movie yet!" to breach social media at each end.
At this point, we expect comedy from our Marvel films just as much as we do from our Judd Apatow outings. With the employ of screenwriters Daley (who you might know better as Freaks and Geeks' Sam Weir) and Goldstein to handle Sony's next Spider-Man feature script, this psychology seems to be bleeding into other studios' superhero schema. What's more, the Daley and Goldstein hire incurs the question of what might be expensed in the name of comedy.
Is the prioritization of humor in direct conflict with reverence to the characters onscreen? Daley and Goldstein's past features, funny or not, suggest little interest on the part of the duo in adhering to the self-serious model of Peter Parker movies of yore. Can we see a Spider-Man flick script in the vein of Horrible Bosses that still feels to Spider-Man fans like Spider-Man?
And is this question specific to the property at hand? Coming our way are a Deadpool movie (canon with 20th Century Fox's other mutant entries), a Guardians of the Galaxy sequel, and a Han Solo film directed by the LEGO Movie guys. Are all forces eschewing that old stony sincerity for big, irreverent laughs? And if so, is this a betrayal of the devoted fan base who helped lift comic book properties to mainstream popularity in the first place?
Or am I taking this issue just a bit too seriously?


What's the Big Deal with PDS?
Product Design Sprint is a workshop which aims at defining the weaknesses of a product and finding as many solutions as possible to eliminate such chinks in the armour. During the five-day workshop, we go through stages of researching, prototyping, designing and testing. We analyse current solutions and prepare new ones to improve User Experience.
Having conducted a PDS, clients gain a better understanding of the issues encountered by users. They identify possible areas for improvement and gather lots of ideas on how to solve these problems.
The rapid growth at Netguru challenged us to redefine our processes as well. We decided to run the five-day PDS and adjust workflows to the existing structure. Our goal was to deliver a greater number of quality products and to maintain a high level of trust among our clients. We involved 8 people from various departments — Marketing, Business Development and Design. This approach allowed us to look at our processes from different perspectives and prepare best-suited solutions.
Perception of our brand among our clients and key prospects improved.
We were given NPS of plus 8.
Visitors admit that it's easier to find the information on our website now.
We increased the number of generated Qualified Sales Leads.
Events at Netguru's HQ attracted more than 500 people.
Recruitment pipeline enhanced, especially in our new key departments.
The Product Design team grew from 6 to 17 designers (nearly tripled!) within one year.
We released 3 products: Callio, Ember Socket Guru and GitItBack - two of which were featured on Product Hunt.
Our IKEA online assistant concept was featured on Behance and widely recognised by the international press and design communities.
The greatest achievement, though, is the level of trust that our clients credit us with nowadays. We have more flexibility in proposing solutions and executing them — that's why we care about every product that we co-create as if it was our own. Also, customers appreciate the attitude by inquiring us for cooperation and, after the project is complete, they stay in a constant contact with us.
How did we get to the above mentioned results? It started with a number of exercises which allowed us to identify our strengths and weaknesses.
In one of the first ones, we created three main personas, which corresponded to our clients' profiles. We sketched a customer journey map to characterise interactions and emotions at different touchpoints with the brand. As a result, we gained a better understanding of their goals, feelings that accompany them whilst making hard decisions, and the expectations they have in terms of the quality of Netguru service.
In this exercise, we interviewed other employees who have a direct contact with clients. We asked them about the biggest pains of our clients and issues they report the most often. It enabled us to identify problems and expectations of the personas. In the second step of this exercise, we brainstormed potential solutions to these problems.
We leveraged the Design Studio methodology to create a shared vision of how we want our clients to perceive us and our services. In a collaborative process, we built a shared vision for our products value proposition.
When we defined the areas that needed to be improved, the time has come to prepare solutions that would increase the quality of our services. To address all the issues, we undertook some actions.
higher quality and readability of our key legal documents such as Executive Summaries or legal documents such as Master Service Agreement and Order Forms.
division of the blog into Code Stories (focused on developer stuff) and the main (business-oriented one).
regular webinars for developers (one each month).
a new process for building and promoting internal products.
The side effect of Product Design Sprint and following changes is a growth of 160% within a year. On top of that, in 2017 prestigious FT 1000 ranking, Netguru has been ranked as the 188th fastest growing company, beating such key industry players as Spotify and Skyscanner.
We can help you to achieve great results as well. Sign up for a Product Discovery Sprint now!

CEO and CFO
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the highest-ranking executive in an organization whose primary job is to take major corporate decisions and managing the overall business. A CEO can either be elected by the board of directors, shareholders or they can the owner of the company as well.
On the other hand, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is a senior executive whose responsibility is taking care of the financial affairs of a company. The CFO has to report directly to the CEO about the financial status and the CEO has the power to alter the CFO's decisions if he or she feels it can be more efficient for the company.
You should also check Types of Business Ownership
CEO: Roles and Characteristics
CFO: Duties and Qualifications
Differences between CEO & CFO
As mentioned, the CEO is the highest-ranking executive and possesses the role of being the top decision-maker of an organization. The duties of a CEO might vary depending on the company size, operating regions and the number of employees working in the company.
In large corporations, the CEO mostly deals with high-end strategic decisions that can direct the company's entire management course. In small companies, the CEO is more involved with the day-to-day tasks and often interacts with the employees to personally give them directions.
CEO is the main representative of an organization to the outside world. They are the face of the company. So, a CEO has to be confident in nature while dealing with others. Other than that, there are some other characteristics a CEO should have:
Have the ability to motivate and inspire others
Knows what it means to be part of a team
Proficient in time management
The ability to brainstorm and solve problems
Smooth communicating skills
Accepts failure and knows how to take lessons from them
Has a clear vision for the organization
Isn't afraid of taking risks
A CEO is associated with running the organization and helps it to make a strong position in the market. CEO is the bridge between a company and the external world, presenting the company goals and objectives to the employees as well as the consumers.
A CFO is connected to the financial aspects of an organization. As being the top financial executive, a CFO's duties include taking care of the company budget, analyzing the financial data, keep track of the revenues and expenses and report everything directly to the CEO along with BoD (Board of Directors).
Even though the departments are assigned with the head of departments. It is still a CFO's responsibility to oversee the activities of the accounting department, finance department and audit everything.
A company cannot run by itself, it needs funding. Aside from investors, companies often turn to banks for help. The CFO must maintain a good relationship with the banks and other financial institutions.
A CFO should have mathematical and analytical skills. Effective managerial skills also require to give instructions to other associates, who also ask for people and communication skills. A CFO must be methodical when it comes to decision making. Other qualities include risk management, strategic planning, forecast the financial state and be opposed to risks.
We already mentioned the roles of a CEO and a CFO. The CEOs are responsible for managing the overall operations and the CFOs are dedicated to financial matters only. There are significant differences between the two. Let's take a look:
The CEO has the highest position in an organization and doesn't need answering to anyone (except for the board of directors in large corporations) whereas the CFO reports to the CEO regarding the financial state of the company
CEO has to clearly articulate the organization's vision to all its shareholders, consumers and employees. CFO partakes in only the strategic decisions that can improve the financial health of the company
The CEO creates the entire plan for the organization, including tactics that can implement to achieve the company goals and objectives. CFO's strategic analysis is limited to cash management, mitigating the risks and benefits, monitoring the balance books and overlooking the financial reports
CEOs can appoint anyone from both inside and outside the organization for minor and major managerial positions. CFO can only evaluate employees from his own department
The CEO is the face of the company, associating with clients, community leaders, the media and the general public. The CFO's interactions are limited to bankers, financial officers, investors and lenders
CFO audits the financial status of the company, takes note of the resources, overlooks the costs and revenues and reports all the findings to the CEO who takes the ultimate decision about making any alterations that can make the company financially more efficient
CEO assembles the team and assigns their tasks and responsibilities accordingly. CFO only contributes to growing the business by managing the economic outcome
CEO has to find methods to ensure effectiveness and overall corporate success. While the CFO must monitor cost-effectiveness and enable financial success
CEO can come from any background including operations, marketing, sales, etc. But a CFO usually comes from a finance or accounting background.
To conclude, a CEO is responsible for leading the organization, overlooking all the departments and steer the company on a road to success. At the same time, a CFO is responsible for making sure that the organization can financially operate without running into any sort of problem.

I love that I now have a hate piece.
The funny part in all this is that people think journalists shouldn't suffer the exact same scrutiny they apply to politicians and others.
And whilst Mr Turner is not a member of the Canberra press gallery, the reality is that leading up to the election he had things to say in regards to the National Broadband Network and the proposed mandatory ISP filter. All fine. His final pre-election analysis on which of the major parties should get the gong basically concluded that whilst Labor sought to filter the internet, their policy was more tolerable than no NBN at all under the Coalition. No problem with that, he is entitled to hold that opinion.
But when you start calling politicians c**k-suckers and a-holes, you bring the journalism profession into disrepute. This wasn't a "private" comment as some have tried to argue, it was a public comment on one of the world's most prominent social networks. And given his previous policy analysis in the Age and SMH online sections, makes his comments all the more relevant when it comes to holding him to account.
I stand by everything I have said and done. I don't seek to run away from any of it.
HERP DERP DERPITY DERP HERP!
Is this a hate piece, Robert? You should read more of mgk. This is a straight documentary. This is a hate piece.
I agree- I don't think that journos should be exempt from scrutiny- and I've said as much above. I cringe when some of my fave journos expose their partisan biases in tweets. It's not a good look.
Now, as I've said, if you were Helen Lovejoy, dobbing in Turner would be perfectly fine.
However, young Robert, where you put footprints all over your tallywhacker is when you started bragging- and showed the world who you really are and what your actual motivations for complaint really were. Catty, bitchy, childish and absolutely full to your collarbones with teenage hubris.
Glass houses, bro. Hope you weren't looking for one of those hat thingies for your doubtless superior eatery.
I was actually surprised, not gloating. But in any event, I'm not bothered. I have a public account for a reason – I am not afraid of the scrutiny.
If people are going to wax lyrical about how Adam Turner was poorly treated, then they should be arguing for people to adjust the privacy settings on their Twitter accounts (and other social networking accounts). Otherwise, everything said in public is fair game.
Nick Sowden, a former fellow Liberal, wasn't even a journalist, yet he was smashed to pieces by the media earlier this year for some inappropriate tweets about Barack Obama made in jest. He was also suspended from the Liberal Party.
So, all I'm saying is that the media has got to be prepared to face the same scrutiny, not accuse others of a "beat up" because uncomfortable truths are exposed.
What a pointless and crap article. Adam Turner deserved to be laughed at and mocked.
Robert, where have I waxed lyrical about how Turner was hardly done by? Feel free to point out those waxy lyrics.
The 'beat up' is you driving a political agenda under the guise of promoting better journalistic practise whilst being absolutely guilty of the crimes of which you are accusing others.
Well there's a restaurant I won't ever visit or recommend. Right wing bile and talking points with Pasta don't go to together. I wonder what whine you serve with that?
@scott – Except Media Watch didn't report it correctly, provide the correct context or do any research on which dickhead was dobbing him in. They just tried to get him fired. Perhaps they could, y'know, spend some time looking at the abject shite on the commercial networks rather than bullying soft targets and people who can't fight back.
The great news is this internet troll is forever going to be labelled a rat thanks to any internet search. He hasn't heard the end of it. We'll see who's laughing in the end.
After reading Turner's unspeakable unmentionable unprintable language, I tried to clutch my pearl necklace whilst fainting onto the divan, but they squished right through my fingers. WHERE IS MY PARASOL? I think I am getting a case of the vapours. Or consumption.
