Four minutes ago, the 29th Africa Cup of Nations got underway when the host nation, South Africa, kicked off against Cape Verde, the island nation making their first appearance in the continental championship. Later today, Angola and Morocco round out the day's play, but before a ball was kicked in Johannesburg, South Africa's opening ceremonies reminded us of the particular beauty of these continental championships.
Just as other confederation's championships reflect their members, Cup of Nations is distinctly African. The images you'll see out of South Africa over the next three weeks can't be replicated at another tournament, and to the extent that distinction's reflected on the field, the tournament provides you a reason to watch. It may not fit whatever standard you've developed for your soccer, but it is a distinct (and high level) experience, one that just happens to include a number of the best players in the world.
Here are some of the images from today's opening ceremony. Unfortunately, there's no accompanying vuvuleza audio.

Launched in November 1987, the Cameroon National Association for Family Welfare (CAMNAFAW) is one of IPPF-Africa Region's four Learning Centres. Together with the Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG) and Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU), it is implementing the idea of learning centres mooted by IPPF-Africa Region's aimed at building the capacities of sister member associations and those of many other organisations, as well as playing the role of a South-South cooperation model.
The idea is innovative and akin to the driving forces that seem to have been propelling this association to new heights since its creation. In this Central African country plagued by the economic crisis, as is the case elsewhere on the continent, solutions to social problems do not always come to mind in the treatment prescribed. In this context, talking about access to family planning services, access or the right to pleasure or desire could be considered, with hindsight, as false optimism, which is the indispensable ingredient that moulds the vision and works of pioneers. From its relentless fight for people's rights to family planning to the implementation of activities focusing on the provision of sexual and reproductive health services to the marginalised and vulnerable group composed of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender and Intersexuals (LGBTIs) in Yaounde, through the establishment of youth centres in 1991, CAMNAFAW's work seems to have been inspired by the quest for innovation.
The history of this organisation that has earned the recognition of Government authorities seems to be characterised by successful and daring initiatives which have enhanced its popularity and credibility at the national level, and even outside the country's borders. In 1991, it opened the first Youth Centre for Information and Education in sexual and reproductive health in Yaounde, the capital city, followed by Douala, the second capital three years later. This is the first experience of its kind in Cameroon which has had a snowball effect. CAMNAFAW's Youth Centres offer information to young people on responsible sexuality and go beyond information-education-communication activities to provide clinical services within a direct care structure.
Always in the VanguardCAMNAFAW truly gained recognition following the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) when Cameroon aligned itself to the ICPD conclusions by amending its texts. CAMNAFAW made a paradigm shift from family planning to reproductive health in December 1999, on the occasion of the national meeting organised by the public authorities, when it distinguished itself by making a presentation on the need for further involvement of non-governmental organisations in reproductive health issues affecting young people.
Once again, it was at the helm in the process initiated by IPPF-Africa Region and the Africa Union that culminated in the adoption of the Maputo Plan of Action. In fact, it was the first Member Association of IPPF-Africa Region to host a series of consultations for civil society organisations and meetings for Ministers of Health which resulted in this key reference document on reproductive health adopted by the continent's Heads of State. When it came to repositioning family planning in Cameroon , it did not fail to provide leadership at the national level, by reacquainting itself with its first love, FP. The thorny issue of abortion, a quasi-taboo topic in a very Christian society, has also been tackled. CAMNAFAW has just conducted a national study on the issue and is using the findings to support the implementation of an abortion project.
The biggest innovation, however, remains its audacity to implement Meeting SRH Diversity Needs (MESDINE) Project, given its controversial nature in the country. The project is taking root in a Cameroonian context where the phenomenon of homosexuality has taken the centre stage in the media against a backdrop of social controversies and disputes. Instead of taking partisan positions, CAMNAFAW opted to conduct a study on the phenomenon. The conclusions are indisputable: homosexuality is a reality in Cameroon and the LGBTI community is faced with major sexual and reproductive health challenges: denial of rights to health, homophobia, all manner of discrimination and stigma, etc., and as a result, greater vulnerability of this category of people which also includes bisexuals, therefore, leading to a greater risk of spread along the STIs/HIV/AIDS transmission chain.
Consultation, the Buzz-WordThrough funding obtained from the IPPF Innovation Fund, CAMNAFAW was able to develop a project, with the participation of beneficiaries, aimed at improving access to reproductive health services in Yaounde's LGBTI community. Strategies identified to carry the project to a successful conclusion include mobilisation and co-opting of members of the beneficiaries' community (LGBTIs), institutional capacity building, improved service provision and monitoring-evaluation.
The very idea to develop and implement such a project has been the source of many discussions, as well as opposition. A meeting was organised for senior officials in the Ministry of Health to convince them of the importance of taking into account all potential circles and links in the STI/HIV transmission chain in order to effectively combat HIV/AIDS.
Confidence-building actions targeting the LGBTI community were also conducted. «In a hostile environment, the slightest indication of holding an assembly with our own may be perceived as a ploy to get arrested by the police, so we can never be too careful» a peer counsellor speaks his mind as he justifies the initial reluctance to the project.
During the first CAMNAFAW meeting, we had to be shrewd to ensure that it was not a trap. «Personally, on that day, I passed in front of the building I was shown several times paying particular attention to movements and the presence of people within, because I wanted to ensure that the police were not hiding there to catch us by surprise; I only entered the building when I was certain that nothing was amiss», says Ange Judicaël, who subsequently became a peer counsellor.
From four groups of beneficiaries in various areas of Yaounde, the number grew to eight, and then gradually to twelve. Bernard Sing, a trader and former CAMNAFAW peer counsellor played in a key role in operationalising the project and scaling it up in Yaounde. She is the one who when contacted by CAMNAFAW volunteered to identify beneficiaries with whom she created the first group for which she was a peer counsellor. Three years after the launch of the project, it is coming to an end! Bernard is still available when she is requested to assist in the MESDINE Project. «This project has given me moral satisfaction, she proclaims; I have discovered new people through it, and it has helped to liberate many people who today have claimed their sexual orientation, and are capable of openly saying : «I am a homosexual, HIV positive and in ARVs'. She confesses, «to achieve this, we really have had to be moles».
Peer counsellors are an essential mechanism in the implementation of the project. Trained in counselling by CAMNAFAW, they literally play the role of coaches for other members of their group, and remain the interface between the latter and CAMNAFAW's project management. The onus is on them, for example, to get RH commodities supplies and avail them to their respective members. They also report any difficulties in the project's cycle to CAMNAFAW so that it takes corrective measures.
Implementation has had its share of challenges in a context of great hostility sanctioned by the country's legal texts and reprobation by Cameroon's Catholic church. Cameroonian law severely punishes the practise of homosexuality. In fact, the laws of the land provide for «6 months to 5 years imprisonment and a fine of 20,000 CFA (USD40) to 200,000 CFA (USD 400), for anyone that engages in sexual relationships with a person of the same sex».
It was important to get the buy-in of CAMNAFAW's lead partner, the Ministry of Health. Emmanuel Ngappé, its Executive Director: «we had to bring together the senior officials in the Ministry of Health to hold discussions on the need to consider sexual diversity if all households are to be taken into account and the fight against HIV and sexually transmitted diseases is to be successful».
Organising a Values' Clarification WorkshopA values' clarification workshop was organised within CAMNAFAW itself to ensure that all staff took ownership of the idea of implementing such a project. As a result, implementation of this project has not been characterised by many difficulties, and as a staff member underscores: «the initial mistrust of homosexuals gave way to great trust among us».
That is all it took for IPPF's Member Association in Cameroon to be stigmatised, and accused of encouraging and promoting homosexuality in the country.
A few months ago, the Minister for Foreign Affairs ordered the European Union to immediately stop giving financial support to ADEFHO, an association that defends homosexuals chaired by Ms. Alice Nkom, an advocate at the Yaounde bar. Following the public press release by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, civil society organisations, politicians and journalists, boldly denounced «the obvious bending of the law and violation of national sovereignty».
In response to its critics, CAMNAFAW's Executive Director says: «we are not gay activists. We provide services to all, and care for everyone's health. We cannot continue ignoring homosexuals in Cameroon especially since the HIV prevalence rate is 40% among those with whom we work» and concludes on this note: «the laws on homosexuality are not our concern; our problem is how to provide health to all».
Despite misconceptions and even open hostility to the MESDINE Project, CAMNAFAW's management recognises that it has put its finger on a problem, ensured that the organisation has gained visibility, and opened the Government's doors against all odds. The National AIDS Strategic Plan now has a component on Men who have Sex with Men, and by extension, covers all lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and intersexuals. This recognition has been concretised by the fact that today the Association is one of Cameroon's two principal recipients of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
«We came out of the woods to claim our sexual identity»In Cameroon, due to social barriers, homosexuality is perceived as a stifling burden. During a project, beneficiaries accepted to give their testimony; tongues were loosened and speech was unbridled: it was stark and revealing.
Like many young people of his age, Ange Judicaël was forced to seek employment very early to meet most of his family's needs. He landed his first job in a restaurant in Yaounde, and with his modest salary was able to pay rent for the house where he lived with his father, a retired labourer, his mother and nephew.
For years, he faced up to his responsibilities until one day in 2008 when his boss paid him his salary and summarily dismissed him. Reason: he had just discovered his homosexuality. From that moment, his life was turned upside down. He became the subject of gibes and intimidation. Ange Judicaël, completely ostracised by the community and neighbours, had to learn how to cope with hostile looks when he passed by, blatant acts of stigma, not to mention verbal and physical violence.
«Because of my homosexuality, he says, I was stabbed and hospitalised; I filed a complaint, but the police did not follow it up. In Cameroon, when people hear that you are gay, they come out to abuse you».
It is in this hostile environment that, at the age of 27 years, he had to find a way to «bring home the bacon». Does this mean that he practised homosexuality to earn a living? «No», he quickly corrects himself, adding: «my last sexual encounter was 8 months ago».
He explains that paradoxically he discovered his homosexuality after he was raped, an experience which he affirms enabled him to discover his sexual orientation. He is one of the first contacts through which CAMNAFAW gained entry into the LGBTI community in Yaounde city. As a peer counsellor trained by CAMNAFAW, he facilitates a group of fifteen people over which he holds a certain charisma. During meetings which he regularly organises, he makes it a point to ensure that his group members accept to have protected sex, teaches them how to protect themselves against STIs/HIV and take precautions in cases of risky sex, etc.
For him, the MESDINE Project has been a life-saver: «CAMNAFAW has become our home; people there respect my sexuality and I can receive care like anybody else. I feel more of a citizen today that I did before because at the public hospital, homosexuals are not welcome». Filled with gratitude, he adds: «My friends and I are now aware of our sexual rights through MESDINE, which has boosted our confidence, and helped us organise ourselves» and concludes: «This project should continue because poor and marginalised members of the Cameroonian society like ourselves have found people who are sensitive to our problems to the extent that today we feel at home when we are at CAMNAFAW where we can receive treatment. Before, members of our community were dying like flies, as they were not accorded the least attention whatsoever».
Unfortunately, Ange Judicaël and his friends are far from receiving the same level of understanding from other segments of the Cameroonian society who are openly hostile to their sexual orientation. His heart sinks as he agrees to recount the unforgettable humiliating experience he underwent when he was introduced to a crowd in his residential area that booed him, «because I have a different sexual orientation», he says. It is also with a heavy heart that he explains how mass was celebrated in front of the house in which he lives with his parents, «to exorcise me because it was claimed that I was possessed and would infest the place I stay in where children would no longer be safe». He adds, «According to Muslims, I should be burnt alive because I am the devil, and therefore do not deserve to live».
Through CAMNAFAW and MESDINE, he continues «today, I am able to assume my sexual orientation because I have come out of the woods to claim my identity, and nothing will ever take it away from me».
He informs us that eventually within the confines of close family he has found solace, since «my father and mother have accepted me as I am; I respect them and they in turn respect me». Due to the respect that he has for his parents, Ange Judicaël, affirms that he has never spent the night away from home and has made it a rule never to appear with another man in their presence. To prove that he is a human being like any other, he speaks in an impassioned way: «I have responsibilities like any other adult, with monthly expenses of about 150,000 CFA F per month (USD 300) including rent of 35,000 CFA F (USD 70). If something were to happen to me today, my father, mother and nephews would suffer».
Unlike Ange Judicaël, Kevin is less talkative. Although he is a reserved person, he talks with admiration about his life in the MESDINE Project. Kevin, who is a history student at Université de Yaoundé, confesses that he knew nothing about reproductive health before engaging with MESDINE. Through his friends, he learnt about this project whose themes on sexual rights and health rights were of great interest. For him, MESDINE is a platform for training, education and communication. «Before MESDINE, there was conflict within me», he recounts, which explains why initially he wanted to become a priest. He discovered his first homosexual instincts in the choir where he sang that. «There was a boy for whom I felt carnal attraction every time he would start dancing during our rehearsals. With time, it developed into love, but I forbid myself from expressing it because it would be badly perceived; I feared bringing violence upon myself».
Under these circumstances, Kevin had to carry his cross alone, in silence that he describes as destructive. MESDINE therefore turned out to be an enlightening experience for him. He explains: «I am naturally shy and uptight, but as I participated in MESDINE activities, I have learnt to express myself, talk about my sorrows and difficulties. I have learnt to accept myself, to claim myself and take responsibility for my choices» and adds: «before MESDINE, I was ashamed, I felt guilty for being different» and concludes: «If this project were to stop, many people would not find themselves; the voice of the LGBTI community in Cameroon would once again be stifled».
«Accompanying Homosexuals living with HIV»Dr. Michèle Bomia, the Director of the CAMNAFAW clinic has been carrying out an experiment, worthy of interest, as part of the MESDINE Project: the principle of a referral ticket. It seeks to enhance access of HIV positive homosexuals to care provided by the National Social Security Fund (CNPS) Hospital.
Discretion is the catchword to guarantee beneficiaries total confidentiality. It involves distributing cards to all peer counsellors who, during their group meetings in residential areas, give them to members that wish to go for consultation at the CAMNAFAW clinic.
The ticket, which bears a code assigned to each peer counsellor, is signed by the latter, and countersigned by CAMNAFAW. Depending on the colour, the service provider knows what the issue at hand is; the pink ticket means consultation for an HIV test, while the green ticket indicates that the holder requires other reproductive health services.
The ticket is kept by the service provider who gives it a client-code. The principle of free service provision applies to bearers of the ticket for consultations, whereas 50% of lab tests costs are borne by the project.
If the test turns out positive, the concerned party is sent to a community-based health agent who acts as a tutor. The latter is trained to care for people living with HIV (PLWHAs), and consequently, accompanies the person and provides psychosocial support. A second confirmation test is carried out at the Pasteur Centre. If the individual is confirmed to be HIV positive, the referral procedure to the CNPS is set in motion. After a therapeutic test, if the concerned party is eligible for treatment, he is put on antiretrovirals. Treatment is provided on a monthly basis and the concerned party may decide to have his community health agent collect the medicine on his behalf and give it to him discreetly. On its part, CAMNAFAW conducts the community follow-up, once or twice a month, through its field agents.
Michèle Bomia, who is coordinating this operation, highlights one major constraint: «there is a high attrition rate. Many of our clients disappear into thin air once they discover that they are HIV positive» before mentioning the fact that: «40% are positive after the HIV test and we have noted that among gays no protection is used during sex».
In light of the foregoing, all the gains made in the MESDINE Project could be jeopardised.

NFL's new concussion protocol includes special app
INDIANAPOLIS -- The NFL is providing an iPad application to help team doctors diagnose whether a player has a concussion.
League officials demonstrated how the new system will work at the annual scouting combine Friday in Indianapolis. The move comes after a recommendation from the NFL's Head, Neck & Spine Committee.
The questions and treatments will not change. But the app will create a scoring system to determine if there are large discrepancies between a player's baseline score and his game day score. If there is a large discrepancy, it would indicate the player has sustained a concussion.
Seahawks team doctor Stanley Herring, a committee member, says that while it will help diagnose head trauma, team doctors still need to trust their observations and instincts, too.

Yes, our Australian GP Preview headline rhymes, as do some of the poems and other items seen in this photo, all paying homage to our new driver Mark Webber.
Rather than write our own preview to the season-opener, we turned to Year 5 and 6 students at Mark's alma mater, Queanbeyan Public School. (It's cheap labour and they can spell better than us).
The project was carried out under the guidance of teacher Anke Jennaway, who despite her youthful looks apparently taught Mark when he was at school, and claims to have taught him "everything he knows about driving."
The children are definitely versatile, making board games, posters, mobiles, models, scrapbooks, as well as writing poems, biographies and funny captions to rival those in Red Bulletin.
Come and see their work in the Red Bull Racing Hospitality area in the Albert Park F1 paddock on Thursday 15 March, as we turn the area into an Art Gallery for a day.
Mr. David Coulthard of Twynholm, Scotland also drives for the team.

You can work for Porter Airlines and get your CA
In the "olden days," the only way to become earn your Chartered Accountant designation was by 'paying your dues' and working through your 'slave years' at a CA firm. Didn't matter if it was a small shop or one of the Big 4 (or 5 or 6, or 8, depending on when you started), they got a solid lock on you for the first two or three years of your fledgling career, until you had "put in your hours" at your "CA Training Office" before you were free to fly off. Well, the market demand for qualified young blood to deliver all that advisory and analytical goodness continued to push for more people, and the accounting and auditing shops could only accomodate so many newbies. The ICAO decided it'd make sense to open the field to other companies willing to subject train new grads to the UFE process. Hence came "CATOs" outside of the core accounting profession. New places are announced with regularity - the latest list includes the lovely...

In AuditLand no one was stirring, not even a co-op's mouse
It's the calm before the paperstorm, and the most wonderful time of the year for Chartered Accountants working in firms that enforce a Christmas Holiday Blackout period, where non-essential work is put on hold to let the staff and partners spend some time with family before disappearing into the dank pit known as Busy Season. I hear PriceWaterhouseCoopers is good about not even agreeing to doing special assignments during the Christmas break - hopefully your firm has a similar attitude towards demands for reports getting issued around December 31 or so. It being the calendar year end, there are some things that may be inescapable due to poor planning. Such as inventory counts that have to happen on December 31. Good luck if you're stuck on one of those. IT auditors and anyone else who needs "point in time" evidence will also be scrambling with clients who "didn't feel like" or "were too busy" to prepare evidence of password settings and other information...

Ontario CAs are all getting CPA certificates this month. Also, free breakfast or lunch on November 20 to explain why
If you're a Chartered Accountant in Ontario, you're probably already receiving the "eBrief" e-mails from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario with some rather surprising news. They've noted that starting this month it's possible to say "Firstname Lastname, CA, CPA" which is a bit trippy since you get a "free" designation to pre-empt the entire talk of merging CAs with CMAs and CGAs. The certificates you can now hang on your cubicle wall with the CPA designation will be mailed out in the next week or so. If this alphabet soup hasn't thoroughly confused you, you can also sign up for a free breakfast or lunch meeting per the instructions in one of the recent eBriefs at the Hilton in downtown Toronto where the implications will be discussed. There's also an evening session with "light refreshments." I attended the April informatoin session and was blown away by the impressive show of venom from CAs opposed to the...

2012 UFE writers' most wonderful day of the year
Finally it's time. reward yourself. No more cases to debrief. No more anything of the sort. You can jump at shut off that part of your head. You just finished a punishing three day ordeal of an exam. You may be tempted to consider Next Steps. Tomasz has you covered in that case, check our the latest www.ufeblog.com post for details about where your USB stick of brilliance is heading. But I recommend just relaxing. If you already had vacation planned, go and enjoy it. If you deprived yourself of a social life to spend time studying now you can finally have fun. Many writers go straight back to work. I did, and that was fine. The Friday after the exam is usually a total write-off (no puns please, you've suffered enough) but remember: depending on how you booked your time off you may need to punch in 8 hours on your timesheet today so look up your forgotten login credentials and submit that timesheet lest your first Monday back be accompanied by a late timesheet nastygram! Once that...

Fresh UFE Advice for the 2012 crowd
Considering that a google search for "UFE advice" still points to an article where I complained about shoddy treatment at the hands of PwC , it seems only fair to point to some current UFE advice by a more recent writer. Check out this post on quants by Tomasz Popiel, a young CA from Ottawa who started the UFE Blog . Tomasz wrote the UFE in 2010, which is a half decade after I did, so I'm glad to see someone picking up the torch for the cause of young CA students, since the further removed you get from the exam process, the less new information you can share. As of today there's nine pages of post since only July. He's on fire, and the tips keep on coming. Hopefully you've already been following his tips, but if you haven't, well, there's still a few weeks left to improve your case writing game. Ironically the quant post I'm linking to is in many ways timeless: though Tomasz points out that in the 2011 UFE the Board of Evaluators lamented that candidates'...

Atrocities of learning confuse and infuriate Chartered Accountants
Something that helped me immensely when I was preparing for the CKE , and should be helpful to anyone taking a multiple choice test designed by halfwits, was to realize that the test was probably designed by someone who wasn't thinking things through very much. Reading too much into a question is a recipie for anguish and anger. If you make it all the way through this rant you'll pick up a tip that will prove invaluable on your next multiple choice test. Yes, you may be right when presented with all the possible exceptions to a scenario, but in an ordinary multiple choice question, go with the answer they're "looking for" rather than the answer that shows off how smart you are. It's sad but true: learning more facts and gaining more knowledge than expected of you can actually end up harming you, when you're presented what the test writer would consider to be a "simple" question. Right lane, left lane : right answer, left answer. Step away from the...

The upside to long hours, part two
Last time we discussed the joy of empty roads and the ability to find a seat on a subway train when commuting home from work . I of course glossed over the fact that you can also avoid the rush by leaving before 5 pm, but that crazy notion should seem absolutely foreign to anyone living in AuditLand so why bring it up? Sure, an auditor could come in at 7 am instead of 8:30 or 9. Would it mean they would leave one or two hours earlier? If you think the answer is yes don't let an actual auditor know that. The bitterness of their laugh, while epic, may cause permanent scarring. On your soul. Anyway, long hours. Why bother subjecting yourself to that sort of torture? You must learn. Unless you're some mad prodigy who picks up everything on the first shot perfectly, you need to practice if you are going to have any hope of getting good at something. And auditors are constantly being bombarded by new "somethings". An average clerk may spend days or weeks becoming proficient...

The upside to long hours, part one
I was going to compare the punishing hours one experiences in AuditLand to the more "normal" hours experienced by most other people and make some lofty defense about the good things that come about from sticking around an audit room while an entire client site empties out promptly at quitting time. And we'll get to that. Eventually. But first let's talk about one entirely practical upside: skipping the 5 pm rush on public transit, particularly overburdened systems like the TTC is nice. People who go home between 6 pm and midnight are not aware of what "crush load" really means. Having said that, the people who are leaving at all sorts of crazy late hours do miss out on various things, like a healthy and normal meal with family or the ability to go out with friends on a weeknight. So it's not *much* of an upside, but when you're sinking in the ocean, there's no point in turning down a life preserver simply because the shade of orange on the jacket...

How to keep your client present and available on Fridays
The start of a fresh week is an occasion to consider your plans for the coming five days. Or if you're in AuditLand, likely six days given that busy season is ramping up and the joys of full two day weekends are fast becoming fleeting memories. It doesn't help if your client has a proclivity for only sticking around for four days beford disappearing to work from home on Friday. Given that you may need those client contacts to be present and available, what can you do to encourage people to stick around? Donuts. Yummy treats are a surefire winner with all but the most health-obsessed auditees. But if the treat can be enjoyed by world class athletes convening in Vancouver in 2009 , something tells me it'll work for you too. Make it a recurring tradition and you may induce a quasi-Pavlovian association with your Friday treat that may even get them to like you .

2011 UFE Results came out, congratulations to the successful writers
Congratulations to everyone who made it, passing the UFE which means succeeding in the penultimate step to becoming a Chartered Accountant. The results came out yesterday - and Ontario's successful writers are listed here . Despite my less frequent posting pace, I've always tried to time a post for the reporting of results. Thankfully Going Concern was there to trumpet the news while I was out of the country. Thanks guys. The CA Institute posted a PDF with a list of all the writers on the national Honour Roll . Ernst & Young's Juliana Yuen from the Toronto office got the highest mark in the country, winning the gold medal for the country, and a healthy dose of pride for both her office and the Accounting Masters program at Waterloo University.

What not to do in your job interview for that exciting Big Four job opening
You attended all the recruiting events in the fall. You presented your "BBA" or "Bcomm" candidate business cards, asked your clever question, uploaded your resume and cover letter peppered with extra curriculars and top marks, and now you've done it. You've scored job interviews with the Big Four where you hope to fulfill those dreams of becoming a Chartered Accountant, to make your family proud and pay off the massive student debts you've been racking up over the past three or four years. And you could blow your big chance in the interview by making the most innocuous of statements. "But I'm so clever, I know I won't ask about the overtime, but will tell them I enjoy working long hours," you respond. You know all the right things to say, you're ready for this. But do you know anything about the wrong things to not say? Keep in mind that your answer may inadvertently turn into a hilarious insult. If you were asked some metaphorical...

They're telling me to book my "work" time to "learning" time - now what?
In some companies people don't have to enter time they spent on time sheets. These are usually companies other than accounting firms, where you work in the same job every day. Accounting and consulting firms work for a mix of clients, so their staff are expected to identify where they spent their time every day, so the company knows where time is being spent by their staff. In most accounting firms, you're asked to book your time accurately. Companies bill clients for doing work, and rather logically, don't bill clients for time their staff spend learning how to do their jobs. Having said that, accounting firms operate on an apprenticeship model, so there's always on-the-job training going on. And this is where a supposedly straightforward issue gets a little confusing. Precise rules differ from firm to firm - be sure to see what your written policy is - but for the most part, if you're working on a client's file, it's considered client work, not "training...

How accounting students survive mortal peril
"I have no idea what to do on this account! What should I do? The senior's gone for the day. I'll never finish this file!" The chaos inherent in a young auditor or accountant's mind would be fun to watch, if you enjoy watching the suffering of others. Judging by the popularity of certain sports and shows, there's many such people. Unfortunately there's no efficient way to charge admission to witness the whirling vortex of worry in your mind, so you might as well have some strategies to deal with it. As much as it's a running gag, looking at last year's file is a time-honoured tradition. Part of the entire point of documenting your work well is so the person taking over your job next year will have a good idea as to what they're supposed to be doing, to avoid the mess you're in in the first place. Of course, perhaps you made the file yourself last year, and didn't do a very good job. And now someone with higher standards is reviewing your...

Should I hold on to my old accounting textbooks?
Readers have sent me many questions which I've tried to respond to a little faster than in my posts. One question involves old accounting textbooks. When you're getting ready to start work, you may wonder if there's any point to keeping them, or if you should sell them. Unless you work for a company with the world's worst employee support program, you should feel comfortable in disposing of them. If you can sell them to younger students in the program, good for you. Hopefully the editions haven't changed. Over time, accounting standards change, so the theories you may have been taught three years ago may have some merit, but hopefully you've memorized the key elements. The details may have changed, and any employer worth their salt will provide you with the accounting handbooks and manuals that apply to the field you're working in. If you're studying for exams like the UFE they should, again, be providing you with exam prep guides which will be much more...

It's good be an IT auditor: transferrable skills
This is a fascinating little article: an analysis of over 500 job postings, showing which accounting programs are in demand . Thanks to Bill for the link. The popular 'large programs' are SAP, the various Oracle apps like JD Edwards and Peoplesoft, as well as the Microsoft Dynamics / "Great Plains" system. On the small side, QuickBooks dominates. Where do IT auditors fit into this? If you have enough experience and exposure, you will likely be exposed to almost all the applications cited above, with the likely exception of QuickBooks, since the audits of small clients often won't include the services of an IT auditor. As a result, a CA who works in this field will not only be able to demonstrate knowledge of various business processes, but they'll also be able to demonstrate the nimbleness and adaptability that is so in demand these days. It typically isn't difficult to get students interested in applying to transferring to this field. This just made it even...

The friendly, experienced teachers at Allegro School of Music delight ears and bolster brains with a variety of music and movement activities for learners of all ages. The summer music pass offers tune-thusiasts two private lessons, with choices ranging from classical violin to blues kazoo (a $40 value). Children ages 5 and younger can enjoy sing-along songs, puppet theater, and tent-fort jam sessions at four open-play sessions (a $20 value), and those 7 and younger may attend four craft- and story-filled classes with their parents and other families, exploring exciting themes such as farm life, dinosaur kingdoms, and cat ennui (a $60 value). Hit up the Family Music Festival on July 26 at 10 a.m. and use the included $5 for food toward concession delights. Festival admission is free.
Once each new batch of beer has passed through The Hideout Brewing Company's 155-gallon system, brewers transfer it from fermentation drums into kegs one by one. The hands-on process takes time, but brewmasters still manage to keep The Hideout's 25 taps filled. Drafts like the Promiscuous Pilsner and the Gangster IPA are available year-round, thought most of the bar's selection rotates among specialty and seasonal beers, as well as occasional hard ciders and meads. The brewers are often playful with different styles of beer, steeping chocolate and jalapeños or using wild yeasts that build a complex maze of flavors.
Along with food from outside vendors, The Hideout's pours pair well with a modest menu of bar snacks such as mini tacos, corn dogs, and soft pretzels. Drinking and dining commences on the main floor, where Prohibition-era photographs surround weekly rounds of trivia, board games, and chess. Competitive shouts drift from shuffleboard and dartboards, and there's also a horseshoe pit in The Hideout's backyard garden, where steeds respectfully leave their hoofwear before coming inside for a drink.
Under the guidance of cofounders and brothers Mikhail and Arkadiy Sarkisov, the skilled coaches at Grand Rapids Fencing Academy enlighten budding swordsmiths on the essential techniques of modern fencing. During informative classes for all experience levels, students learn the foot moves, blade work, and confetti-cutting skills of èpèe-, foil-, and saber-style fencing. Each session is designed to improve mind-body coordination and flexibility while providing aerobic exercise. A wall of full-length mirrors allows pupils to view and modify their techniques inside the sprawling hardwood studio.
Mikhail and Arkadiy Sarkisov sharpened their fencing skills on the former Soviet Union's national fencing team before earning medals in their home country's national championship. In 2004, the United States Olympic Committee named Mikhail the Developmental Coach of the Year in fencing. Both brothers hold master's degrees in fencing and have placed highly in numerous tournaments across multiple globes.

Pizzas are constructed with the clean lines of minimalist cheese ($9.29 for 12") or the ornately decorated Super Deluxe pizza ($16.79 for 12"), which brings along its entourage of pepperoni, sausage, ham, mushrooms, onions, olives, and green peppers to shower it in flavor and compliments. Homemade potato chips ($2.99) crisp just quietly enough to avoid interrupting the sounds waves of live music or karaoke as they dance through the air. An olive-swiss burger ($7.99) is made from a half pound of Black Angus beef and paired with fries. Strewn liberally with televisions, Joe V's lives up to its title of sports bar by displaying games and spontaneously producing basketballs every evening.
Although officially founded in 1930, the Grand Rapids Symphony's history stretches back to 1917 when an enterprising group of local musicians began practicing together and holding regular concerts. In the years since, the ensemble has retained this self-starter mentality while growing into one of the nation's preeminent regional orchestras. Always asserting its idiosyncratic individuality, the organization earned a 2007 Grammy nomination for its collaboration with flamboyant electric harpist Deborah Henson-Conant and the ire of conductors for its rule that all batons should be able to shoot sparks.
Bob's Sports Bar prevails against hunger pains with a linebacker-sized menu filled to the facemask with gut-busting burgers, full-contact quesadillas, and point-shaving pizzas. Practice taste-bud calisthenics with an order of cheese-covered nachos, which sports an audible crunch that works out mandibles while taste buds feel the burn. Defensive diners can solo tackle a house-made Mama's meatloaf sandwich or invite the brawny Olympic chess team to fraction off a 7-inch cheese pizza. Friendly bartenders also pour pints of domestic drafts as well as Michigan-made varieties including Founders pale ale and Vander Mill apple-blueberry cider. Since Bob's is open from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day, patrons can take swigs from an early-morning brew or engage their mouth muscles in a midnight brawl with a sauce-smothered chicken, beef, or bean burrito.

"Happy Halloween and Happy Holidays Neighbor!
You are probably wondering why your child has this note; have you ever heard the saying, 'It takes a village to raise a child'? I am disappointed in 'the village' of Fargo Moorhead, West Fargo.
Your child is, in my opinion, moderately obese and should not be consuming sugar and treats to the extent of some children this Halloween season.
My hope is that you will step up as a parent and ration candy this Halloween and not allow your child to continue these unhealthy eating habits.
Thank You"
No, we're not pulling your leg here. You can see of picture of this letter right here. It exists. This plan is most likely still gonna be carried out come Halloween night. The woman herself has been interviewed by a local news radio station, and she is pretty darn pleased with her approach.
While we appreciate that she wants to help the kids in her community to live healthier lives, we aren't to pleased with her tactic—after all, how ostracized and ashamed will the children who receive those letters feels? There are certainly better approaches to get kids (and parents) to eat and live better, while still making them feel good about themselves.
Take these four, for instance:
#1. Planting a veggie co-op garden in your neighborhood
#2. Donating healthy items to a food bank
#3. Giving out good-for-you snacks on Halloween instead of candy
#4. Starting a service club that will help bring fresh produce from your to inner cities and food deserts
What do you think of this letter, and what would you do to help your community live better?

Anthony Weiner's phone sex partner Sydney Leathers targeted men on the Internet for more than 3 years -- actively recruiting (and juggling) multiple sugar daddies who paid up to $4,000 a pop to connect with her ... TMZ has learned.
We found proof of Sydney's man-hunting history on a hookup site called SeekingArrangement.com ... where she described herself as a 22-year-old "naughty but nice" student.
Best of all ... she proudly announced she's "looking for a discreet, mutually beneficial relationship" ... aka a "sugar daddy."
Sources close to Sydney tell TMZ she's been trolling these kinds of sites since she was 19, and suckers guys would give her anywhere from $200 to $4k to chat, Skype, share pics or meet for dinner.
We're told Sydney claims she never had more than three at once, and never took money for sex. Translation: she never quite went pro.
She told Howard Stern she never got money from Weiner, but admitted she has a knack for finding victims dates.
Sydney's profile lists her body type as "slim."
It was created a year ago ... and is no longer active.
So she is a prostitute.....it took an investigation to figure out the obvious? Did you see weiner.....
She gets paid to put up with men's crap. Hmmm..Maybe she is smarter than the rest of us! ;)
There's always a sicko out there willing to buy anything. I bet if she bagged her own sh!t Wiener would buy it.
This fat girl needs to look up the definition of the word slim, because she is definitely not slim.
I have no problem with women with a little extra on them; however, someone forgot to give her the memo that she's not the next Victoria's Secret runway model. She's a catfishing whore plain and simple, having to hide her ugly face and man tats on the internet because she has created a worthless ugly POS out of herself. Shame on Weiner for setting himself up for it, but it was only a matter of time before he got scammed by a keyboard whore. They deserve each other.

Dallas falls flat again...
The frustrating thing for Cowboys fans is that the offense scored 10 pts and tied things up in the blink of the eye. Only to just mess up again and lose it OT because they couldn't block the punt rush which resulted in the winning score for Arizona. Something has to snap Dallas out of this sleep walking season or it will be again a long off-season with a lot of questions.
A few suggestions.
Bench Corey Procter. He's over head as a starter and is the player other defenses focus on when game planning for the Cowboys.
Trade for Roy Williams before the deadline. We need a play maker to jump start this offense and a #1 pick will be well worth it.
Stop splitting the carries from all Barber then all Jones. Having them both touch the ball in the same drive makes much more sense
Fire Bruce Read now!!! Joe A. is available.
As always I'm interested in other ideas to get this team on the right track.

To me a major part of the global fiscal crises is an exploding global population and a significant number of people who for whatever the reasons are dependent on some type of government subsidy. These people in democracies keep voting for those who are willing to keep providing benefits despite an overwhelming national debt load. The United States in particular has reached the tipping point of perhaps almost no return showing that democracy may in fact be a time limited phenomenon. Please write yourself an essay that is only three sentences long. In it describe the fundamental principles that made the United States the great nation it is (was) and see if those principles are still being followed. Someone please refute my comments above and make me happy again :-)

Recap: Alain Vigneault's Post Game Comments
On MSG, Alain Vigneault spoke with the media:
- Did you get nervous, "their second goal made it a tighter game but in general we had to keep playing. We knew they were going to come and pull their goalie. We got a PP and our PP came up big tonight."
- On the best part of the game, "…ya know. I didn't think Tampa was a 5-0 game and I don't think tonight was a 5-2 game but we did win. There is an old saying in hockey that you never critique a win and I am not going to start now."

Market guide | Zillow predicts Maple Ridge home values will increase 1.3% next year, compared to a 1.3% increase for Tulsa as a whole. Among Maple Ridge homes, this home is 19.1% less expensive than the midpoint (median) home, and is priced 3% less per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the Maple Ridge market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold shrank 3.9% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 78.1% less than in Tulsa, and 60.7% lower than the national average. This lower local number could help Maple Ridge home values rise more quickly than other regions in Tulsa. Learn more about forecast calculations or Maple Ridge home values.… moreless |

Did they come here legally? or Illegally?
This is the question, I would not support anything that promotes Illegal activities.
on Oct 16, 2013 at 2:55 pm
The Day Worker Center is a very important tool for people who want to work at a job and work on their citizenship, banking, doctors care and many other things that lots of us take for granted. The people are already living here and are valuable members of our community. The DWC is NOT about encouraging illegal immigration.
Support for and understanding of what the Day Worker Center REALLY does is a good reason to attend this event. The Center on Escuela Avenue is beautiful, busy and well maintained on. Ironically, education is the main focus at the DWC. Priceless!
