Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose Eau de Parfum Spray Reviews
RoseI was at the mall the other day and sampled this fragrance. It was dark and rich and definitely not a springtime scent, which I was actually looking for. It's my own darn fault, but with such reviews I was expecting a fragrance more feminine. The perfume. however, is dominated by Rose. That is the extent of the femininity. The Rose. — 2 years, 1 month agoleo1999 | 678 reviews

On my 3rd bottleI was wanting Lacomes GWP, but a certain amount had to be spent to get it. I love perfume and figured I would find one that I might like. Tresor midnight rose was the only one I could tolerate the smell of, but didn't love it, but bought a small bottle anyways. I'm on my 3rd bottle now, I've recieved more compliments when wearing this over any perfume I've ever owned. I've gotten compliments from men and women of all ages and race. Now it's a must have. — 3 years, 12 months agopurrbaby75 | 32 reviews
Very sexy!!!I got this as a present so did not know what to expect. But the bottle was so pretty, I figure it would look nice on my table with the rest of my collection. When I used it, I loved it! Definitely an evening or going out type of a fragrance, not for work. It is quite heavy, sensual and strong. Taking it on vacation with me to use for the evenings!! ;) — 4 years, 7 months agoShringar | 5 reviews

Lovely, light fragranceThis perfume has a very sweet, light smell. It smells flowery and fruity at the same time, consisting of raspberries and roses. I always get compliments when I wear this perfume. I can't get enough of the scent. It is the perfect scent for a casual night out or even every day errands. — 5 years, 2 months agowendria | 5 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
After human beings, the cinema probably doesn't have a greater visual subject, among living creatures, than the horse. I say this as no particular horse fancier in real life, but as an admirer of horses in movies, a medium far more suited to the beauties of the species than painting or still photography. The magnificence of the equine form probably has a great deal more to do with the success of the Western genre than is generally noted.
I had thought it improbable that any horse movie could rival, for me, Carroll Ballard's joyously primal 1979 adaptation of Walter Farley's The Black Stallion, but Caroline Thompson has made one that does. Her new version of Black Beauty, which she also scripted, is one of the most emotionally compelling children's films I've ever seen. Thompson, a prolific and usually admirable screenwriter of kiddy flicks--Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and Agnieszka Holland's The Secret Garden are among her credits--has, in her directing debut, translated the simple, linear narrative of the classic yarn to the screen with plainsong poetry. The novel is the only literary work of a Quaker invalid named Anna Sewell, who died in 1878, just a few months after its first publication. Sewell, an upper-middle-class Englishwoman with a lifelong affinity for horses, wrote the book in a religious-activist spirit, to encourage their kind treatment by cabbies and stable boys, and also as a critique of such aristocratic outrages as the "bearing rein," which forced carriage horses, for the sake of fashion, to hold their heads up in what was, for them, an awkward position. Those who imagine that the animal-rights movement is a new phenomenon might be surprised to learn that decency toward horses was no small issue in the middle of the 19th century, when urbanization and the swelling middle class created a boom in horse ownership, in the use of horse-drawn cabs and, inevitably, in mistreatment of the animals. Black Beauty was immediately adopted by horse partisans as propaganda--one of the first American editions, published in 1890 by the founder of the American Humane Education Society, was actually titled Black Beauty: The Uncle Tom's Cabin of the Horse.
Sewell's main device for generating sympathy is that the title character, an English stallion whose rocky career comprises the plot, tells his own story in the first person. Thompson reproduces this. Beauty speaks to us in voice-over, narrating his adventures in the thick, gentle burr of Alan Cumming. It was a risky choice--it could have come across cute or patronizing, like the insultingly jocular narration that old-fashioned nature documentaries sometimes had. But Thompson, with Cumming's help, makes it work, makes us take it seriously. Thompson's writing of this narration, which accounts for most of the words we hear spoken in the course of the film, is at least equal to Sewell's (in the book, Beauty occasionally sounds a bit like a smug, social-climbing yeoman). The first line in the film is Beauty's assertion, "The story of my life is the story of the people in it." This turns out not to be sentimental, but a plain statement of the film's theme--horses are dependent on the whims of humans for their well-being or lack thereof. Beauty is in service, at one point or another, to the whole spectrum of English society--he's born and initially raised by kindly country gentry; sold to and abused by loathsome blue bloods (Peter Cook and Eleanor Bron); injured through the negligence of a drunken servant; sold again to find misery as a horse for rent; sold again to find happiness pulling a cab for a poor, good-hearted young cabbie (David Thewlis of Naked!); and so forth.
Through it all, he's patient and long-suffering and loyal even to those who mistreat him. He also carries a lifelong torch for an ill-fatedly tempestuous filly named Ginger, and a brotherly fondness for a little pony called Merrylegs.
Not every element of the story ends happily. Beauty continually suffers separation from those, human and equine, whom he loves. This, too, is part of the theme--that whatever happens to a domesticated animal, good and bad, is out of its control. Both the joy and the terrifying oppression in the story are presented in a way that pulls no punches, yet it isn't like the sort of cheap-shot emotional assaults that children's-movie makers sometimes resort to. Thompson clearly understands how to engage the emotions of children without simply going for their jugulars. The horrors in the story add up, they make dramatic sense; they aren't just there to give the kids an upsetting jolt. It would be a mistake, however, to praise this Black Beauty only for Thompson's skill at adaptation. It's also a visual feast for horse lovers, and not only for them. Thompson and cinematographer Alex Thomson fill the screen with lovely studies of everything from insects, toads and foxes, to blue-blood children at play, to the teeming squalor of Victorian London streets.

Trainer Rex Peterson kept the acting of the horses from ever seeming, even for a moment, like trained behavior, an illusion no doubt helped by Claire Simpson's fluid editing. Backing everything up is a stirring, flavorful music score by Danny Elfman. The persuasiveness of the horses' performances--especially in the disturbing scene in which the infuriated Ginger breaks her reins--leads to the only major qualm one might have about Black Beauty: How sure can we be that they were acting? The idea that horses might have been ill-treated to make this film is about as ripe and rotten an irony as can be conceived. Though it can't hold a candle to Black Beauty, another current animal movie for kids, Lassie, isn't quite the mechanical write-off I dreaded going in.
The plot is puerile, but the film, directed by Daniel Petrie, is surprisingly handsome to look at--the opening shot, an aerial view of Lassie driving a herd of sheep over a hill, with sheep forming striking patterns around her, is splendid. And Thomas Guiry, who plays Lassie's companion, is a glum little crud with a set jaw whose performance keeps the story from cloying too badly.
Guiry and family are city folk, trying to make a go of sheep farming in rural Virginia. Although she, too, is a collie who could probably qualify for Mensa membership, the title character is not supposed to be the old Lassie of TV; cleverly, she's a stray that the family picks up at the roadside, and names after the TV wonderdog. She proceeds to cure Guiry of his withdrawal into rock music, lead him to his deceased mother's diary and reconcile him to his well-meaning stepmother (Helen Slater). At the same time, Lassie's obvious expertise in the latest animal-husbandry techniques proves invaluable to the novice farmers. For the sake of enjoying the prettiness of the film, it's possible to overlook the absurdities of Lassie's prescience, and even the clumsily conceived villainies of a rival sheep farmer (Frederic Forrest). What is irksome is the insistence with which Petrie and the screenwriters keep slipping in pious little plugs for a return to wholesome family entertainment of the old school. At the beginning of the film, for instance, Guiry changes channels from an old Lassie rerun his sister is watching to MTV; later on, Lassie, who, of course, knows best, pulls the headphones off the kid's belt and runs off with them. I'm no fan of MTV, and no doubt the old Lassie show was harmless enough. But it was also square and maudlin, and representative of a kind of children's entertainment that was lacking in human pungency. I watched the show for years myself, as a kid, and I can't say it made me a finer person in any way of which I'm aware. It's the disreputable shows, like cartoons, which have stayed close to my heart. If, today, a Lassie rerun came on while I was watching TV, I'd probably turn the channel--to MTV, in fact, if Beavis and Butt-head were on.

How mixed income neighborhoods could save schools
Frank G. UT, UTMay 6, 2015 2:29 p.m.
What is often not said in opinion pieces like this is the effect the poor children have on the middle class kids. While the poor kids are reaping the supposed benefits from the middle class kids (via Osmosis?), the middle class kids often suffer from the presence of poor children woefully unprepared for studies. Often they are impacted by poor impulse control, behavioral issues and the very real reduction in curriculum quality that occurs when schools need to compensate for special ed. I don't see a poor child's future to be more important than a middle class child's future. What harm is being done to the middle class child in these situations?
Howard Beal Provo, UTNov. 22, 2012 8:28 a.m.
I know everyone likes the mantra of local control, especially in the Red states? But would local control mean that students of color would not be segregated? Would those students with special needs (ESL, Special Ed) get resources?
By the way, these things didn't come in some places easily, it actually took the federal government sending in troops to some states to enforce integration. Then conservatives used the neighborhood school concept to create de facto segregation which we have all across our country.
And unlike many professions many teachers do choose to go the hardest schools. Not all, but many. But creating mixed wealth neighborhoods might be a way to take on the wealth gap and some of these issues.
I have to look no further than my own community to find the dangers of local control, where two high schools exist that are light years away from each other in resources. Even their feeder middle schools show the dearth that exists in resources and facilities. Local control can be good but it can also be dangerous. Hopefully in Provo, a new set of leaders can do better as it seems this is happening.
Demisana South Jordan, UTNov. 19, 2012 8:04 p.m.
Redshirt has some good ideas. In a nutshell, turn all schools into charter schools, with parent/teacher boards in charge. I think a lot of parents feel totally powerless to do anything about the schools. Especially in poorer neighborhoods, people are used to having little control over their lives. Put them in charge and a lot could change.
RedShirt USS Enterprise, UTNov. 19, 2012 4:26 p.m.
To "UtahBlueDevil" again, you are wrong. Educators do have a choice about the the type of kids that they teach. When a teacher is looking for a job, they can choose which schools they want to teach at. The better schools will choose the better teachers because more teachers want to teach at the schools where the parents care about education.
Think of it this way. Would you work for a company if it was located in a very poor area with high crime rates, or would you work for a similar company located in the suburbs in a low crime rate area? (the job is the same, with the same pay and duties)
My solution is simple, but impossible to do because the lawyers would never allow it.
Let students fail. If they don't pass 2nd grade they don't go to 3rd until they do.
Allow teacher to discipline students.
Allow kids to drop out at age 16 if they want.
Raise standards for what is to be taught. Eliminate any teaching software from the classroom. Cut testing to 1 standardized test per year.
Fire all bad teachers. Bad teachers are determined by parents, students, and administration. Eliminate districts.
UtahBlueDevil Durham, NCNov. 19, 2012 4:03 p.m.
"Tell us liberals, how do you mandate a change in society's attitudes?"
Really... there are no poor conservatives, whose kids go to demographically poor conservative schools. Lets just stop with the political demigodary. There are poor, low performing kids from every political orientation.... perhaps it is these attitudes that treat each issue as though it were a political point making opportunity rather than working on actual solutions that have us in the mess we have.
And the funny thing is - pretty much no one disagrees with your first points. But educators don't have the option of picking or choosing which kids they educate. Educators have very few levers they can pull.... their charter very limited in scope.
The options we have is we can run around name calling, blaming, trying to score points.... or we can work to fix issues with the tools we have. If you have a bright idea - share it. Give us that "conservative - non liberal" magic bullet.
RedShirt USS Enterprise, UTNov. 19, 2012 11:47 a.m.
The researchers are dumb. The answer is something that they, along with so many educators, don't realize that the success of students come from their parents and the peers' parents. Just look at the story presented here. When her child was going to a low-income school filled with kids who's parents don't place a high priority on education, all of the children suffer. When she enrolled her child in the school filled with more affluent kids, he did better. His mom cared about the education, and so did the parents of the other children.
Tell us liberals, how do you mandate a change in society's attitudes?
tabuno Clearfield, UTNov. 19, 2012 11:35 a.m.
It's really disappointing to read an article about mixed neighborhoods and school performance written by a Deseret News reporter who overlooks the fact that Salt Lake City School Board more than 15 years ago made a bold, controversial high school boundary decision to balance ethnic and income of families as part of their setting high school boundaries. Having a local angle to this article and not report on it seems a dismal omission. This reporter didn't seem to do their investigative homework every well and took the easy way out by just focusing on the readily available national reports. It must the Deseret News cutbacks and the overworked reporters they may be the real problem here.
Clarissa Layton, UTNov. 19, 2012 11:23 a.m.
I live in an area that is somewhat in the poorer economic area, mainly because of apartments. As I didn't have children, the school boundaries don't worry me, but as I am a retired teacher, who taught at a school with a more affluent population and a lot less poverty, that is where my chidren would have gone. I would have moved before I would have allowed my kids to go to the schools in our boundaries. I've noticed that most of the children in my area either go to charter schools, or they have applied to attend other schools that are in a nicer area. Can't say I blame them. Unfortunately, this does leave the schools within my boundaries lacking in parental support and leadership from other students in their classrooms. It is very sad, but parents want school choice and are using it.
UtahBlueDevil Durham, NCNov. 19, 2012 6:12 a.m.
Too many forget that how a school performs has a much to do with the engagement level of the local community as it does with anything that happens inside the 4 walls of a classroom. Many kids don't have the same "at home" resources that other kids enjoy. To really fix the problem, you need to go outside the walls of the school, and fix the community. Diversified communities are one way that ensures you don't end up with deep pockets of kids with little outside support.
My wife was a teacher for many years, across many grade levels in elementary school. It was really obvious to see which kids had support systems at home that could help them learn to read. It made no difference which color or race they were - if the kids didn't have parents that were engaged in the process, the child usually fell behind.... not always.... but far to often. At schools with deep community engagement - these effects were drastically diminished. When there were other kids parents in class that helped all kids, those kids who needed extra encouragement fell behind far less often.
My2Cents Taylorsville, UTNov. 19, 2012 3:38 a.m.
Equality in education in Utah has never been nor ever will be their goal. The per pupil budgeting system is based on property taxes of the rich and poor. The higher end homes with higher end incomes are usually paying more property tax to education and it is an entitled argument that they pay more into the board of education so their children schools are entitled according to social status rather than per pupil standards.
Per pupil is an average not an actual reality to disillusion the masses of equal education, there is no equality in education or spending at all. There is enough money for all, but 50% of the budget goes to 5 or 6 schools in Utah and SLC.
This is the grand lie of education and why per pupil spending is out dated method for an education system to use. Per pupil funding has created this gap and will always be the road block of equality in school funding.
Equality in education for all schools must mean every school has equal shares of our invested funds and all should give proportionally to our income level. Abolish property as method of taxation for education.

The fact that Nelson Mandela, who has died at the age of 95, was South Africa's first democratically elected president does not explain his global status, verging on secular sainthood. No other leader has been so widely embraced. ''Nelson Mandela belongs to the world,'' South African Nobel literature laureate Nadine Gordimer once said.
Presenting Amnesty International's highest honour, Ambassador of Conscience, to Mandela in 2006, Gordimer noted it was hard to avoid hagiography when speaking of ''a phenomenon of world conscience''. Mandela ''refuses the mantle of saint'', she said, but ''epitomises the human being of conscience … that human being is not exalted above life, but taking action, speaking out from within human contradictions''.
Mandela's life was not without contradictions - few saints divorce the two mothers of their six children - and his achievements were as much a product of political nous, so finely tuned as to be elevated to statesmanship, as of saintly inspiration. But Mandela did inspire. After the 1994 elections, his mentor, Walter Sisulu, recalled their first meeting in 1941. ''I had no hesitation, the moment I met him, that this is the man I need,'' Sisulu recalled. Need? ''For leading the African people.'' Yet Mandela led with rare humility in the struggle he inherited - the African National Congress was founded six years before his birth in 1918. And having finally become president, he served only one term, which dismayed even many who once feared and reviled him.
A high-born member of the Xhosa tribe - hence his affectionate clan name Madiba - Mandela grew up with stories of his ancestors' wars of resistance and experienced the indignities, injustices and hardships that postwar apartheid laws entrenched. Even his name, Nelson, was not his own - he began school as Rolihlahla but, as was common, his teacher gave him an English name. Mandela, Sisulu and Oliver Tambo represented a more militant generation who had created an ANC youth league and then, as ANC leaders, set up a military wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe. In 1964, Mandela, ''the first accused'' of 10 accused in the Rivonia trial, outlined the ANC's history of non-violence until 1961, when they decided effective resistance required ''properly controlled violence''. (For this reason, Amnesty did not support them as ''prisoners of conscience''.)
Mandela told the court ever more forceful repression and the blocking of all peaceful protest made violence inevitable, especially after the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre. The newly banned ANC feared that if it did not take charge of violent resistance, ''there would be outbreaks of terrorism which would produce an intensity of bitterness and hostility between the various races of this country which is not produced even by war''. The ANC would, however, first exhaust the use of non-deadly sabotage because ''it offered the best hope for future race relations''.
Facing a possible death penalty, Mandela famously concluded: ''I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.''
Eight defendants were jailed for life as ''terrorists'', a view some Western leaders accepted. The global embrace of Mandela came much later. He spent 25 years and eight months in prison - 18 years on Robben Island. His image, voice and words were banned. Only as apartheid began to crumble did then president F. W. de Klerk reach out to the moral leader of the nation's majority.
Incredibly, Mandela's belief in reconciliation had only strengthened when he walked from prison in February 1990. In 1993, Mandela was awarded the Nobel peace prize; he did not object to sharing it with de Klerk. This was ''an amnesty hard to swallow'', as Gordimer put it, as was for many the Truth and Reconciliation Commission at which past atrocities were admitted and pardoned. Mandela's message of forgiveness - and he led by personal example - overcame generations of hurt.
Much of Mandela's Rivonia speech was also devoted to poverty and lack of human dignity, the ''hallmarks of African life in South Africa''. His successors still struggle with poverty and its consequences. Mandela regretted his failure as president to do more to stem the AIDS epidemic, but his charitable foundations now work to overcome apartheid's profoundly harmful legacy. The ''rainbow nation'' was blessed to have such a healer.
South Africa's President, Jacob Zuma, said on Friday: ''Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father.'' Nadine Gordimer identified the quality that inspired the world, that of the leader ''who creates a self out of response to people's needs, the call of conscience against oppression, injustice and sufferings of any nature within our human condition … Conscience is a form of solidarity.'' Mandela ''put the problems of our common humanity urgently first''.
The life of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela challenges us all to act on our consciences and put humanity first.

Irregular Period
I`m 42 years old, and this month I only had 1 day of bleeding during my period. The other days, I only noticed spotting. On 3rd day of menstrual cycle I had intercourse and heavy bleeding occured. Next day I was only spotting again. Is this normal, or is there some type of obstruction preventing blood flow?
I highly suggest you visit your doctor. There are a number of causes this can be from: a thyroid issue, hormonal imbalance, previous surgeries (if any on the lining of the uterus) or birth control pills.
Make sure you have a copy of your menses from previous months where you marked when menses started until it ended. This will help your doctor figure out whether it's a hormone problem versus other causes. I hope this helped.

When is 2010? A class-size question that matters
The answer seems fairly obvious.
The class-size amendment approved by Florida voters in 2002 states that the Legislature shall ensure that all public schools have enough classrooms to meet the strict class maximums "by the beginning of the 2010 school year."
A FAQ from the Department of Education clarifies the point: "By fall 2010, no classroom in which a core course is taught may contain more students than allowed by the constitutional limits." It's in the implementing legislation that way, too.
Yet as the drumbeat grows louder in Tallahassee to postpone the amendment's final phase -- and the nearly billion-dollar price tag associated with it -- so too does the wiggle room that lawmakers and others involved seek to get around the requirement.
We asked key legislators and Department of Education representatives when in 2010 the schools must have no more than 18 kids in K-3 classes, 22 in grades 4-8, and 25 in high school. They told us, in a nutshell, that they weren't sure if it was Jan. 1, July 1, (the start of the fiscal year), Aug. 23 (the likely first day of school) or even the last day of the 2010-11 school year.
The Legislature needs to clarify this key question, they said.
"We've really got to do something by the end of the 10-11 school year," said Senate Education Appropriations chairman Steve Wise, who's working on a bill that's likely to become the accepted Senate plan.
Maybe that's just wishful thinking, so if lawmakers decide to put the matter before voters they don't have to spend extra money on a special election. The next scheduled election is Aug. 24, 2010 -- a day after the amendment is supposed to take full effect (at least according to our reading of all the mandate).

ECM Asset Management has launched an absolute return fund focused on the European credit market as it attempts to tap into the deleveraging credit cycle.
The main objective of the Luxembourg-domiciled ECM Absolute Return Credit Fund will be to preserve capital, as well as aiming to return Euribor +4% per annum net of fees.
The majority of the fund will be invested in the European credit market, although there is an opportunity to invest across global credit markets where applicable.
It will be co-run by fund manager Derek Hynes and the company's co-CIO Ross Pamphilon.
Hynes and Pamphilon will adopt directional credit strategies and also use fundamental approaches to the market in order to find specific and systematic investment opportunities.
In addition, the duo will adopt basis trading, pair trading, capital structure relative value and curve trades.
Commenting on the launch, Hynes said: 'The present market uncertainty presents an opportunity to capture upside, but with lower volatility along with lower correlation to other risk markets. Investors benefit from diversification as returns are derived from multiple sources.'
This marks a new venture for Hynes who was recently replaced as the lead manager on the European Credit Fund Sicav – Danube by former Euro Stars AA-rated manager Jens Vanbrabant.
This occurred after ECM said it believed the fund's strategy had changed and was more suited to a manager specialised in investment grade credit.

Between the cancellation of his reality show, a 1 Cig-rated album and getting gaffled at his own show during a suicide attempt stage dive, Coolio is already having the best year ever © VH1. The last thing he needs is for some meddling officers to tell him he can't enjoy the one guilty pleasure that's satisfying to his soul: his Red Balls!
As TMZ reports:
Coolio has just been arrested at LAX for possession of crack cocaine. We're told the rapper was going through a security screening to get to his Southwest Airlines flight when a screener found crack cocaine on his person was then booked for suspicion of cocaine possession. Sources close to the situation tell us Coolio — real name Artis Leon Ivey, Jr — got physical with the screener at some point during the incident.
While it's hard to believe people, especially former celebrities still give the glass fellatio, one listen to his last album and you'll realize he was under the influence of something illegal.

Isn't it a crying shame that a number of our U.S. senators, who are presently so deeply (and correctly) engrossed in ferreting out the details of the tragic affair in Benghazi, didn't exhibit a similar zeal for the pertinent facts prior to the initiation of the United States vs. Iraq war?
Had the information about the Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction" correctly described the situation, Gen. Colin Powell's plea to the United Nations for action would never had been made, and the U.S.-Iraq war would not have been considered a necessary action.
Also, acting on correct information, it's highly unlikely that 90-some U.S. senators would have hurriedly voted "yes" for a war that resulted in more than 4,000 U.S. troop casualties, 10,000 troop injuries, more than 100,000 Iraqi civilian deaths and the accumulation of more than $800 billion of additional U.S. national debt.
Finally, candid senators such as California's Dianne Feinstein would probably not be forever regretful that her "yes" vote for war was a terribly tragic mistake.

Investigation and Reporting
By chinex, 5th Feb 2012 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed | Short URL http://nut.bz/1vsulgx1/
Posted in WikinutBusinessAccounting & Finance
For accountant to achieve fast result relating to audit of companies and investigation, in other to also avoid corruption, embezzlement of companies funds, there need for every companies to adopt this process.
The importance of Reporting and Investigation to Companies
An investigation can be an inquiry into both financial and non financial matters of an organization, which is undertaken for a peculiar and special purpose other than audit.
It will include carrying out investigation on accounting records and the examination of the financial statement. Investigations are also conducted in other area of financial matters which will assist the accountant to report on such recommendations and draw conclusions that are relevant to the purpose of the investigation e.g. Purchaser of business, prospective investments, incoming partner, suspected fraud.
Investigation conducted will entail;
Scope of enquiry, the range of possible clients, the number and purpose of investigations are usually very large.
An accountant which can either be an internal auditor, external auditor, a consultant or an accountant which are placed to carryout investigation on different area of needs because of their knowledge in that nature of business and business affairs.
The range of clients who may commission investigation includes;
1) Companies
2) Individuals
3) Lending institutions
4) Department of Trade
5) Local authorities
The Terms of References on Investigation
The terms of references should be clearly set out in a letter of engagement .With regards to Private Investigation, investigating accountant must obtain prescribed instruction from his/her client as to is terms of reference, purpose of the investigation and amount of detailed work required.
But the case is different when it comes to statutory investigation, the investigating accountant must be fully conversant with statutory regulations, and must obtain necessary instructions where it would be applicable. Among investigations governed by statute include Prospectus, Department of Trade Investigation etc.
Qualities required of an investigating accountant are as follows;
He or she must have sound auditing techniques.
He or she must have a considerable experience.
He or she must have sound judgment.
He or she must have a good understanding of a variety of business enterprises.
Some investigating accountant are yet to understand that there is different between investigations and conventional audit, these differences are outline below;
Conventional audit is carried out for the purpose of expressing an opinion on financial statement whether they show a true and fair view while the main objective of investigation carried out will be determined by the nature of the investigations and the terms agreed with the client, and not to report on the true and fair view shown by the financial statement.
Conventional audit are generally regulated by statutory and professional pronouncement, while investigations are not generally regulated.
There is a strict requirement for the independence of auditor, in the case of audit; this is not so with investigations.
The scope of conventional audit is set out under the relevant statutory provisions, while the scopes of investigations depend on agreement reached with the client and the clients' particular need.
The timing of conventional audit is important but in the case of investigations, it is conducted on an adhoc basis.
Conventional audit required an accountant to carry out reasonable enquiry into every aspect of an entity's financial information, sufficient to enable him report on whether it present a true and fair view.
A higher degree of care must be exercise by an investigating accountant than that of an audit with regards to the needs of the client.
Audits are regularly carried out e.g. annually, bi-annually; while investigation is one-off, which comes up only when required.
Investigation for the purpose of preparing an accountants report for inclusion in a prospectus
A prospectus is any notice, circular, advertisement, prospectus or other invitation, debentures of a company or offering to the public for subscription or purchases any shares.
Companies published prospectus when they raise money through issues given the public. The reason is to give the public investing the maximum amount of information about the companies whose shares the public buy.
The purpose of accountant report is to provide financial and other information to the investing public.
The circumstances which a prospectus may be required are;
Where the issues are right issues.
Where the size of the company is small.

Go fly a kite!
No, really. Go fly a kite this month and enjoy the fresh air, sunshine and all the frustration/triumph that comes with getting the darned thing up in the air. Kite flying can be rewarding provided the planets are lined up properly, the breeze is just right, and Charlie Brown's tree and those overhead power lines keep their distance.
Kites have been around for thousands of years, according to nationalkitemonth.org. The earliest written account of kite flying was about 200 B.C. when the Chinese General Han Hsin of the Han Dynasty flew a kite over the walls of a city he was attacking to measure how far his army would have to tunnel to reach past the defenses. Kites were used in 7th century Japan to avert evil spirits and to ensure rich harvests and smart guys Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Graham Bell, and the Wright Brothers used them for various scientific reasons.
Go on, get outside and launch a kite. Not only does it bring out the inner child, but it can also make you look smarter.

As any parent or caregiver raising teenagers knows, smartphones play a leading role in their daily lives. While social media, apps and messaging provide a fun and highly accessible path to connect and share with friends, such outlets also allow youth to connect with those they should not be connecting with and share things they should not be sharing. We're talking SEXTING - defined as sending sexually explicit messages, photos or videos via cell phone or other electronic devices.

Veteran forestry executive and accountant Richard Garneau is notorious in the industry for his frugality. He took over at newsprint and paper giant AbitibiBowater Inc. – presently being rebranded as Resolute Forest Products – in January and later renounced his annual incentive compensation of $1.7-million (U.S.) as part of a cost-cutting and restructuring drive. Mr. Garneau met with The Globe and Mail in his modest office in the company's new digs in Old Montreal, a striking departure from the former lavishly appointed head office downtown.
Was part of the problem at the old AbitibiBowater a way of doing things at the management level that was perhaps rather extravagant?
When I came on board … I just brought my way of doing business that was really lean, tried to show that we care for shareholders, that when the employees and the unions come to the office, they see we are exactly like them, that we don't spend anything that is not needed, that we have put new limits on travel … I travel economy like everyone.
Are you satisfied so far with the efforts to remake the company?
I think that we are making progress. You're never satisfied. … we've still got more progress to make. And demand is declining, so you always have to adjust your strategy and also look at where we have to go in the future to make sure we'll be able to pay for all that and pay down the [$1.5-billion] deficit that we have on pensions.
Is the industry still suffering from overcapacity?
There is still overcapacity … not only in North America but also in Europe. Our strategy is really to make sure that the mills that we have in our networks are going to be lower cost. … when you are in a trough or you go through the valleys, you need to have low cost and I'm very, very focused on that.
How do you manage the decline in global newsprint consumption?
We're going to continue to see a migration, a slow migration to tablets and a digital age. We have to adjust our production to the declining demand. But timing is the difficult part.
Where is the growth, the renewal going to come from?
The growth, we see mostly in Latin America and Asia. … [where]they don't have the fast network to accommodate the iPad [or computers, and]the population doesn't have the money to buy them. When we look at Brazil, for example, it's one of the good markets that we have. Latin America, in general, is growing.
AbitibiBowater was not known as an innovator. How are you changing that culture?
We're looking at other products. Biofuel is one I believe makes economic sense. It's based on wood waste. With about 300,000 cubic metres of wood, we can produce about 25 million gallons (94.6 million litres) of biofuel that could replace [certain types of aviation oil]and it's carbon-neutral.
We're also developing engineered wood products [that use]recovered fibre, such as all the small logs, the treetops … to produce a value-added product.
Many "green" sectors are high-risk and require billions in investment. What do you see as the most promising?
Lumber is a green product. It's like my farm in Lac Saint-Jean. My cousin harvests wood in the fall and every year he has a crop. Lumber is the same thing. You cultivate trees; the only difference is it takes 50 to 75 years. We're investing in the forest.
Do you think the so-called green revolution is overhyped?
I always like to say that sustainable development is important but there are three pillars: the first one is protect the environment; the second one is social – the people; and the third is economic, and these have to be balanced. We are involved in the [Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement]and in our discussions with our friends in the NGOs it's something we are trying to do, to keep the balance.
Should governments help forestry companies make the transformation to biomass and so on?
Investment climate is very, very important. The government has to make sure the policies they put in place are not going to disadvantage Canadians compared to the competition in Europe or in Asia.
One union leader described you as a "fierce cowboy." Would you say you take a hard-line, confrontational approach to labour?
No. Absolutely not. I disagree completely with that. I think that I share the information as well as I can. When I talk about the market, for example, I share with all of our employees, the union, that demand for our products was 24 million tonnes in 2009. Now in 2011, it's going to be 13 million tonnes. Don't expect that we're going to continue to do business as usual.

Mahikeng, North West - The death of a protester in Mahikeng in North West is being investigated, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) said on Friday.
Spokesman Moses Dlamini said the 27-year-old man was shot dead and allegedly run over by a police vehicle during a service delivery protest on Wednesday.
"At this stage the investigation is still underway and none of the allegations can be confirmed. Once more investigative work has been done, the exact facts surrounding the matter will emerge," he said.
On Wednesday, Brigadier Thulani Ngubane declined to confirm or deny a report that police shot at the man with rubber bullets.
"I don't know (about the cause of death), all I'm saying (is) let us just allow the (IPID) to do their job."
The IPID was awaiting the outcome of a post-mortem, Dlamini said. - Sapa

Seattle police are investigating an assault rifle that was left on the trunk of a patrol car – found only after two people flagged down separate officers to alert them.
The incident happened Monday night, and the patrol car with the gun on the back was photographed in the 1500 block of Seventh Avenue, near The Cheesecake Factory and The Roosevelt hotel.
Police started the investigation after the person who took the photo sent the image to The Stranger. It was posted on Slog, the alternative newspaper's blog, at 5:21 a.m. Monday with a short description of the incident.
It was reposted on Slog at 9:51 a.m. with police spokesman Sean Whitcomb saying the department is "very embarrassed that this happened."

Worldly inspiration found at home
Ex-commissioner culls local treasures in new photo bookMarch 19, 2009 10:30 AM
During the four years Bob Cranmer served as an Allegheny County Commissioner, his duties took him to every corner of the county. During that term, from 1996 until 2000, he began to appreciate the region's landscape and yearned to capture those images on film.
Mr. Cranmer, 52, of Brentwood, has compiled a book of 81 photos he hopes to publish by the end of the year. "The World Through a Pittsburgh Lens" includes both urban and rural landscapes, churches, buildings and homes that reflect the region's ethnic diversity.
"Criss-crossing the county, I noticed all of these unique towns with their own individual histories," Mr. Cranmer said. He noted that many of the landscapes and architecture of Allegheny County were reminiscent of other countries, clearly influenced by the immigrants who made Western Pennsylvania their new home.
"I thought easily that one could be a farmhouse in Germany, or another a countryside of Ireland," he said.
When Mr. Cranmer left office, he mapped out the county and purchased a camera.
"I went out on weekends and started taking hundreds of pictures," he said.
By the end of 2002, Mr. Cranmer had put together a basic book proposal outlining his vision to showcase Allegheny County through his photos. There was some initial interest by publishers, but nothing materialized.Mr. Cranmer said that he discovered writing a book is much easier than getting it published. With renewed resolve, he used desktop publishing software to create draft copies of the book to market his idea. He said he already has two interested publishers and hopes to have the book on shelves by year's end.
A longtime admirer of Ansel Adams, the American photographer renowned for his black-and-white landscapes, Mr. Cranmer strives to capture Allegheny County's diverse landscapes using a similar photographic style.
With no formal photography training, Mr. Cranmer said he tried to mimic what he liked in Mr. Adams' work. During weekend photography trips, Mr. Cranmer amassed a collection of nearly 500 images. From those, he selected 81 for inclusion in the book.
His criterion for inclusion was whether the photo would inspire readers to ask themselves, "Where in the world is that?"
The book is organized into two sections: The Scenery of Europe and Traditional American. An index of photo locations appears at the end of the book.
Andy Masich, CEO of Senator John Heinz History Center, and David Halaas, director of the Center for the French and Indian War at the center, wrote the foreword.
"Bob loves Allegheny County, and he loves photography," Mr. Masich said. Those two interests came together in this book."
Mr. Masich acknowledged that, unlike existing regional photography books focusing primarily on urban settings, Mr. Cranmer's book includes rural landscapes. "There may be a market for that," he said.
Mr. Cranmer has already spoken with Dawn Keezer, director of The Pittsburgh Film Office, who expressed the need for just such a book to promote the region to prospective filmmakers looking for locations.
He also believes the book could be used in other ways.
"When people are transferred here for work, they often think of it as the armpit of the world until they get here. Then, they love it and don't want to leave," Mr. Cranmer said.
"I think anyone who has lived here will appreciate it," Cranmer said.
Each photo was given a name highlighting the different style and mood it evokes. The cover photo is entitled "Boulevard in Paris" and is a particular favorite of Mr. Cranmer's. It shows a local Manchester streetscape reminiscent of France.
He designed the book to be interactive, hoping readers are intrigued by the photos and will be compelled to search for their true Allegheny County location in the picture index at the rear of the book.
The architectural style is also included for buildings and homes. Mr. Cranmer relied on Walter Kidney of the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation to assist in identifying them. The book is dedicated to Mr. Kidney, who has since died.
Mr. Cranmer is now a government affairs consultant at Pugiliese Associates Inc., Downtown. He is also finishing his first novel.
Though he said he will "never say never" to another run for political office, Mr. Cranmer believes his campaigning days are over.
His wife, Lesa, their four children and two grandchildren are his focus these days. Pointing out civil servants make relatively low salaries compared to the private sector, he said, "I can't afford it."

Washington, DC— Nevada Senator Harry Reid made the following remarks on the Senate floor today in advance of a critical vote on Wall Street reform legislation. Below are his remarks as prepared for delivery:
"The Wall Street earthquake that sent shockwaves around the world hasn't hit anywhere as hard as it hit Nevada.
"You can draw a straight line from the unchecked greed on Wall Street to the collapse of the housing market on Main Streets throughout my state. As soon as the big banks went down, the foreclosure signs went up.
"How did this happen? Let me put it this way: When you go to any of the great casinos across Nevada and put your chips on the table, you're gambling with your own money. If you win, you win – and if you lose, you lose.
"But Wall Street rigged the game: They put our money on the table. When they won, they won big. The jackpots they took home were in the billions. But when they lost – and boy, did they lose big – they came crying to the taxpayers for help.
"The winnings were theirs to enjoy, but the losses were all of ours to share and to shoulder.
"That's the way the market worked: It worked for a few fortunate ones in the big firms and worked against everyone else.
"So, when I say that's how the market worked, what I really mean is that it didn't work at all. It was badly broken – and it nearly bankrupted us.
"It cost eight million workers their jobs, millions of retirees their savings and millions of families their homes. It shattered our faith in our financial system.
"But there's another problem: We've been talking about this rigged system – this raw deal – in the past tense. But it's not a thing of the past. It's very much in the present.
"The rules that allowed Nevada's economy to collapse are still the same rules of the road today. And that means every new day we don't act, we run the risk of it happening all over again.
"That's a gamble I'm not willing to take. The bill before us makes sure we don't have to.
"The first question was: How did this happen? The next question is: What are we going to do about it?
"One, we're saying to those who gamed the system: The game is over. We're cracking down on those who gamble away what so many have worked so hard to put away.
"And two, we're saying to families and taxpayers: Never again will you be asked to bail out a big bank when that bank loses its risky bets. Let me say that again, because it's one of the most important parts of this bill: No more bailouts, because no bank is too big to fail.
"We're going to give consumers and investors the strongest protections they've ever had against abusive banks, mortgage companies, credit card companies and credit-rating agencies.
"We're going to bring derivative markets that operate in the darkness out into the daylight.
"We're going to hold Wall Street accountable because we know we're accountable to the American people.
"This is about our ability to trust in our financial system. It's about giving families the peace of mind they deserve – the peace of mind that comes with knowing they will be able to keep their homes and that their savings will be safe.
"Yes, we need the free market to thrive and grow and succeed. But there also have to be some rules – not to stifle it, but to safeguard us. Rules so that when these firms fail, they don't bring us down with them.
"When this earthquake hit, there wasn't nearly enough oversight, transparency or accountability to shield us from the fallout. This law will strengthen all three.
"We're at the finish line this morning, but getting here hasn't been easy.
"Wall Street doesn't like this bill – of course it doesn't. Why would they want us to change the system they rigged, the system that made them rich?
"Their cronies in Washington don't like it either. The top Republican in the House very publicly said the plight of millions was as small and insignificant as an 'ant.' The head of the Republican Party asked us simply to trust Wall Street to look after itself.
"But we all know this crisis is enormous, and we all know Wall Street isn't going to reform itself.
"Rather than standing up for taxpayers, those who are about to vote 'no' are standing with the same bankers who gambled away our jobs and our economic security in the first place.
"Just like their Wall Street friends, it seems our opponents care more about making short-term gains than they do about what's right for our economy in the long run.
"I think that's a mistake, and a shame.
"This isn't just about dollars and cents. It's about fairness and justice. It's about making sure there's not a next time. It's about jobs. And it's about rescuing our economy.
"I know Wall Street reform is complicated. There aren't many people who know all the ins and outs of derivatives trading or credit default swaps or mortgage-backed securities.
"But the principle before us is really quite simple: You either believe that we need to strengthen oversight of Wall Street, or you don't.
"You either believe that we need to strengthen protections for consumers, or you don't.
"Our choice today is between learning from the mistakes of the past and dangerously letting them happen all over again."


text: Don't remember what I said. 44-ish wins? Whatever the case, what became crystal clear as the season progressed is this team needs more talent, and particularly at the starting 2. Lance's ability to play "point" for the second unit has really helped CJ, Seraphin, and Brooks a lot. Don't think GRIII is a difference maker as a starter. We need shooting and more physicality from our starting SG position. An upgrade at starting PF spot wouldn't hurt, but Thad is solid and might work well enough with a significant improvemnt at the 2.

Aug. 24, 1998
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue football coach Joe Tiller has announced that team co-captains have been selected and that two former walkon players have been put on scholarship. Seniors Isaac Jones (Wallingford, Pa., Strath Haven H.S.) and Rosevelt Colvin (Indianapolis, Ind., Broad Ripple H.S.) were voted squad captains by their teammates, and seniors Tarah Graham (Wentzville, Mo., H.S.) and Todd Stelma (Goshen, Ind., H.S.) now are on scholarship, based on their hard work and success over the past year.
Jones, a wide receiver, is the Boilermakers' leading returning pass receiver in 1998. He caught 41 passes for 443 yards and four touchdowns last year, when Purdue led the Big Ten in passing and total offense. Jones has career totals of 71 receptions for 864 yards and five TD's.
Colvin, a preseason All-America defensive end, is a third-year starter who was second team All-Big Ten in 1997. He also served as a team captain last year while ranking fourth in the league with 12.5 quarterbacks sacks (just shy of the school single-season record of 13) for 77 yards in losses, and fourth with 22 overall stops (fourth-best in school records) for 100 yards in losses. Colvin, who had 71 total stops in 1997, has 123 career tackles, including 40 for 163 yards in losses.
Graham, a running back, made a big splash in a reserve role in five games last fall. He rushed for 55 yards and one TD on only five carries (11 yards per attempt). Graham finished the scoring in a 56-7 Purdue victory at Indiana with a 49-yard TD scamper.
Stelma, a defensive back, was Academic All-Big Ten in 1997. He played as a reserve and on special teams in all 12 games, and had five tackles. Stelma currently is listed as the No. 2 strong safety on the depth chart.
Purdue opens its season in the ninth annual Pigskin Classic this Sunday, Aug. 30, at 11:30 a.m. PDT against Southern California. The game, which is the Boilers' earliest ever, will be televised live nationally by ABC Sports from The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Gizmodo tells us of a lost cellular phone that was found in a rather unusual way.
Andrew Cheatle was hanging out on a boat when he dropped his phone in the water. He thought it was gone for good, but a week later, his old phone called his girlfriend.
It turns out, a 25-pound cod ate his phone and was then caught by fishermen. They found the phone, pulled out the SIM card and put it in another phone and called his girlfriend.
More info and a photograph are at the link.
Oh, well. At least he won't be carping on about his loss!

Thinking about making some Elmo cookies and wondering if there is a cookie cutter for his head or do I just wing it?
Also, is there any way to make him look furry on a cookie (I know on a cake, people use the grass tip to make fur)? Is there a way to use a cake decorating tip on a cookie? I'm thinking the cookie icing would be too thin but just wondering what everyone thought of the idea.
I looked in the galleries and there was only 1 Elmo cookie design. Any suggestions?
i saw elmo cutters on ebay a while ago. I actually bought a set of sesame street with elmo in it. (mine is a full body) They are selling just the elmo head.
I have practiced making the icing a bit thicker and trying with the star tip so I am sure you could try to make fur.
I think they sell the decorate a cookie kit that comes with an elmos head cutter in it....instead of the icing with the fur tip....what about using red sanding sugar over the icing??? Antonia has some chicks done this way and they look kinda furry...it's a really nice look too.
qtkaylassweets, did you use royal icing and thicken it to make stars?
I made elmo cookies once (can't find the pic) but used football shape, and made small cookies for eyes, and put them on top to give it dimension. They turned out cute, and looked pretty good...I'll try to find a picture.
I have made some after i saw some cute ones at the american cookie company for my daughters 2nd birthday and they were just round cookies and grass tipped royal icing all along for fur and the round tip for eyes and a nose they had big bird, cookie monstor oscar .....I also think i read some where that if you add corn syrup to the royal icing it makes it shiny.....hope this helps
qtkaylassweets, did you use royal icing and thicken it to make stars?
Yes, I used royal icing (wilton's recipe)and added just a tiny bit more powdered sugar (did not thin it) and I was able to make stars. It was very easy and came out cute!

Customer Reviews
"Hotel is amazing and never feels crowded. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent room. The quality of the hotel and grounds is faultless. The beach is perfect to chill and swim with emerald green water and sand under your feet way past anyone's depth.' D. - September 2015
"Just wanted to let you know the Colonna Pevero was amazing. Will hopefully be returning next year!...My husband and I are now trying to lose the 1/2 stone each we managed to put on in ten days. Quite impressive don't you think!!!"Jess - August 2015
'The staff were a delight from the welcome to learning our regular coffee/tea orders at breakfast and giving superb recommendations on local restaurants and booking them for us. Food was a highlight. There was a breakfast buffet until 11.00 and lunch was at 13.00! The buffets were definitely 5* with huge choice and lots of interesting tastes. For example, there were five local types of honey at breakfast. At lunch there was always some interesting pasta, fish and meats both hot and cold. Ice cream was available and included every lunchtime. Wifi worked pretty much everywhere and was the best I have ever had in a hotel. Highly recommended hotel. Thank you to the staff for a perfect stay.' S. - August 2015
'The location is just perfect: overlooking the Pevero gulf and sorrounded by the Pevero Golf Club, few steps from the Piccolo and Grande Pevero beaches, the hotel is a real pearl. But what makes the Colonna Pevero Hotel a special place are its people: at the restaurant (especially the maitre), at the bar, at the reception, on the beach, at the swimming pool, they make you feel as part of a big family.' Fansis - August 2015
'This really is an excellent hotel. Even in peak season it doesn't feel overly busy as the pools and seating areas are well spaced and staff are very efficient at mealtimes so minimal waiting for drinks or special requests. Staff are extremely well trained - friendly, polite and professional but also quite fun - not remotely obsequious. Staff do well in multiple languages and responded with utmost patience to demanding guests. Food was superb - very much on a par and above what you would expect from a top hotel. The lunch buffet had a wide variety of cold and hot dishes - all of which I'd have been happy to order a la carte. Lots of choice on seafood, salads and more. Staff were also happy to organise something specific on request (fries for one family, specific omelette for another).' Marie - August 2015
