AICPA submits comments on single audit engagements form
June 28, 2018
The AICPA's Governmental Audit Quality Center (GAQC) issued a comment letter on proposed revisions to the federal Data Collection Form required to be completed by auditors and auditees on single audit engagements and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC).
The main changes proposed would expand the information to be reported on the Form, including a requirement that the auditor's detailed findings be cut and pasted from the auditor's reports into the Form. The GAQC generally supported the federal efforts to update the Form, but expressed concern that the proposed requirements may increase the cost of single audits.
The GAQC also suggested that, longer term, the FAC should work to identify more efficient and effective technological approaches to getting the information federal agencies need from single audits.

The strong outlook for the U.S. economy, and the ongoing trend of customers choosing SUVs, larger cars and higher-priced models to traditional smaller cars, has had a positive impact on the country's auto industry for several quarters now. However, this helped auto lending volumes, with the U.S. auto loan industry remaining largely around the $1.1 trillion mark since late 2016. These seemingly contradictory trends can be explained by the fact that the U.S. banking industry as a whole has pulled back from the auto lending market over this period due to the spike in auto loan charge-offs from early 2017. This is evident from the fact that the combined market share of the five largest banking players in the industry (JPMorgan Chase, Ally Financial, Wells Fargo, Capital One and Bank of America) has shrunk from nearly 26% a year ago to below 25% now.
Among these banks, Ally Financial has done well to grow its auto lending business over the period to retain its position as the largest auto lender in the U.S. among the banks. However, Capital One stands out in particular with its unusually high auto loan growth rate figure of almost 8% between Q2 2017 and Q2 2018. This compares to a growth rate of 3% for total U.S. auto loans, and is also considerably ahead of the 5.5% growth achieved by Ally.
Capital One is no stranger to the high-risk, high-return consumer lending industry, as its expertise in the card lending industry over the years has helped it grow to become the 9th largest commercial bank in the country. However, the unbridled growth in an industry which is showing signs of deterioration can potentially trigger losses for Capital One in the near future. As we detail in our interactive valuation dashboard for Capital One, this presents a sizable downside risk to our price estimate of $117 for the bank's shares.
- Is Capital One Oversold At $62?
- Coronavirus Recovery Watch: Discover Financial Had A Strong Run Last Week With Potentially More To Come
- Is A 40% Jump In Capital One's Stock Possible Post Coronavirus Crisis?
- Capital One Earnings Preview: Will Capital One Miss FY 2019 Revenues Expectations?
- Is Citigroup's Card Business In Better Shape Than Capital One's?
- Are Credit Cards 60%, 75%, or 90% of Capital One's Stock?
The figure for each bank is as reported in their latest quarterly earnings disclosures. Bank of America combines its auto lending portfolio with other specialty loans in its quarterly reports, so the figure here is taken from its latest call report as filed with the FDIC here. The total portfolio of auto loans by all commercial banks in the U.S. is from weekly data compiled by the Federal Reserve, accessible here. The total auto loans outstanding in the country are taken from the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis here. The yellow-to-green shading across a row helps identify the overall trend in outstanding auto loans for a particular bank over this period.
The auto industry has seen a marked increase in outstanding loans in recent years, with data compiled by the Fed showing that total auto loans jumped by almost 40% between 2012 and 2016. While an important factor behind the growth was the steady improvement in economic conditions since 2011, the growth rate was also propped up by the fact that auto lenders lowered their credit requirements and offered higher loan amounts for used cars at cheaper rates to attract more customers. However, a sharp increase in auto delinquencies since early 2017 led to the total auto loan industry largely stagnating around $1.1 trillion, with the largest U.S. banks in particular trying to curtail their losses by tightening auto loan origination volumes. As seen in the chart above, the total auto loans for the five largest banks in the auto lending industry has decline steadily from $282 billion over most of 2017 to below $277 billion now.
It should be noted that these five banks hold more than 65% of the total auto loan portfolio across all U.S. commercial banks, as banks account for roughly 37% of all auto loans in the country (with the finance arms of the auto makers garnering a larger market share). However, while JPMorgan's auto loan portfolio has remained largely constant over the last several quarters, Bank of America has shrunk this loan portfolio. Wells Fargo's almost 18% reduction in auto loans is because of the bank's decision to reduce focus on the unit while also selling off parts of its auto loan portfolio to ensure that it meets the Fed's enforcement order restricting its growth.
Capital One continues to resist this industry-wide trend, though, with its above-average growth for yet another quarter. While the aggressive push in the industry can hurt the bank's profits if economic conditions turn for the worse, it should be noted that the bank reported a sizable reduction in auto charge-off rates from a peak level of 2.12% in Q4 2017 to 1.32% in Q2 2018. The bank's auto loan delinquency rates have also nudged lower over the last two quarters. While strong economic conditions would partially be responsible for these trends, it would appear that Capital One has also taken measures to tighten its lending requirements in recent months. The strong growth in the portfolio, therefore, doesn't appear to be a cause for investor concern for now.
Details about how changes to key Loan parameters affect the share price of the largest U.S. commercial banks can be found in our interactive model for JPMorgan Chase | Bank of America | Wells Fargo | Capital One

If you're considering abortion because of an unplanned pregnancy, it is important to gather as much information as possible to make an informed decision.
There are two primary methods of abortion — surgical (induced) abortion or chemical abortion.
In this article, we talk about two different forms of chemical abortion — the abortion pill and the morning after pill — along with the possible health risks for women who choose this type of abortion.
What Is Chemical Abortion?
Often called "medical" abortion, a chemical abortion involves taking pills to carry out the termination. This method is the early pregnancy alternative to having the baby surgically removed.
Abortion doctors promote chemical abortion as a simple, easy way to end a pregnancy, but because they stand to profit from your decision, they often fail to inform women about how the medications work and the possible significant health risks associated with their use.
There are two primary forms of chemical abortion:
- Emergency contraception, also called the "morning after pill"
- RU486, the so-called "abortion pill"
Emergency Contraception (The "Morning After Pill")
Emergency contraception, also called the "morning after pill" causes abortion by preventing implantation, which is when your baby attaches to the lining of your uterus after fertilization and is then shed from your body. EC (Emergency Contraception) may also disrupt the normal cycle of your menstruation or delay ovulation making it difficult to track your fertile phases.
The two most popular brands of morning after pill are Plan B One-Step and Ella.
- Plan B: Plan B is available over-the-counter, without a prescription, and contains the active ingredient levonorgestrel, a hormone that is often commonly used in other hormonal birth control pills.
- Ella: Ella can only be obtained with a prescription from an abortion doctor. It contains the active ingredient ulipristal acetate.
Some basic facts about ovulation and the possibility of becoming pregnant:
- A woman ovulates approximately once every 28 days. Therefore the chance that a woman will ovulate on any randomly selected day is 3.57 percent.
- When a woman ovulates, the egg is able to be fertilized for 12-24 hours (1 day).
- When sperm enters the woman's body, it remains alive and able to fertilize an egg for 1-5 days.
- It takes emergency contraception from 12-24 hours to be effective (1 day).
- Emergency contraception remains effective for at least 10 days.
- It takes a fertilized egg 5-7 days after ovulation to implant in the woman's womb.
Due to these facts, it is recommended that EC be taken within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. It is important to note, however, that 78% of the time EC isn't necessary as the women wasn't fertile to begin with. Taking EC later than 72 hours can cause serious complications. For many women, some health risks occur even when taking EC as prescribed. Commonly reported symptoms include the following:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Breast tenderness
- Bleeding between periods
- Heavier than normal periods
- Persistent lower abdominal pain
Because of these side effects, health experts recommend that the following women should not take morning-after pills:
- Those with allergies to the pills' ingredients
- Those taking medications that could inhibit the pills' effectiveness
- Women who are already pregnant, as it could cause miscarriage
- Women who are overweight
RU-486 (The "Abortion Pill")
The so-called "abortion pill" is actually a combination therapy consisting of two medications.
- The first medication, called mifepristone, is a pill you take at the abortion clinic. This medication blocks the essential reproductive hormone, progesterone, initiating endometrial erosion. This means the growing placenta and fetus are broken away from the lining of your uterus depriving your baby of the oxygen and nutrients he or she needs to survive.
- The second medication, called misoprostol, is taken 1 to 2 days after mifepristone and causes the dilation of your cervix and induces contractions, cramping and heavy bleeding as your baby is expelled from your uterus. Most women abort within 4 to 5 hours of taking misoprostol, but severe bleeding and cramping can continue for several weeks. You may see large blood clots and fetal tissue/parts discharged from your vagina as the abortion takes place.
As with many new drugs, once they are marketed and used in thousands or even millions of individuals it is more likely that rare adverse effects or major complications can occur. Some of these adverse effects range in severity from minor to life threatening. As such, the FDA has found that abortion pills can cause a life-threatening infection known as Clostridium sordellii, which has resulted in the deaths of dozens of women since the pills' approval in 2000. Infection after any type of abortion, including chemical abortion, is much higher than after childbirth or other medical procedures. Abortion pills can also cause heart attacks.
Besides the number of fatalities caused by the abortion pill, thousands of women have experienced other severe complications:
- Strong allergic reaction to active ingredients
- Failure to terminate the pregnancy, leading to a potentially dangerous suction abortion
- Excessive bleeding requiring a suction abortion
- Incomplete expulsion of fetal parts
- Blood clots
- Uterine infection requiring antibiotics
Even among women who do not get the most severe complications, most will suffer the following symptoms:
- Severe and persistent long-term pain
- Persistent high fever
- Heavy bleeding that fills 2 or more maxi pads for several days/weeks in a row
- Strong vaginal odor
- Continuing pregnancy symptoms
What to Do If You're Considering Chemical Abortion
If you are considering any type of abortion, including chemical abortion, there are several steps you need to take:
- First, you need to confirm that you are pregnant. You can set an appointment with ACPC for a free pregnancy test. The test and your results are completely confidential.
- Second, if your pregnancy test is positive you need an ultrasound to confirm whether your pregnancy is viable. Up to 30% of pregnancies will miscarry before your baby is able to survive outside the womb. ACPC offers free ultrasounds to confirm whether your baby is alive and developing properly for his or her gestational age.
- Third, you will need free options counseling to get scientifically accurate information on all of your pregnancy options — abortion, adoption, and parenting. Unlike abortion clinics, ACPC is a nonprofit organization that does not provide or refer for abortions. This means we are free to give you the complete information you need to make an informed decision.
If you're dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, or suspect you may be pregnant, contact us for a free, confidential appointment. We understand the emotions you're feeling and the difficult decisions you're facing, and that's why we're here to help.

Singapore's new generation of netballers will have an ideal stage to showcase their prowess to their home fans in two years, when the Republic will host the 2018 Asian Netball Championship for a fourth time.
It edged out Pakistan and Sri Lanka to win the hosting bid for the biennial event yesterday in Bangkok, where the current tournament is ongoing. Japan had earlier pulled out of the bid.
It will be the Republic's fourth time hosting the event (1997, 2005 and 2014). It had won the continental title in 2005, 2012 and 2014.
Ruth Aitken's team are in the process of rebuilding but her players believe local fans can see a matured side in two years.
"By 2018, it will be our third year playing together, so we should be even more prepared and better as compared to now," said goal shooter Charmaine Soh.
The netballers, led by first-time captain Vanessa Lee, are defending their title in Bangkok, and have reached today's semi-finals, where they will face Sri Lanka.
Singapore will host the Asian Netball Championship for the fourth time in 2018.
They are playing in their first tournament together following the retirement of three stalwarts - captain Micky Lin, vice-captain Chen Huifen and defender Premila Hirubalan - in May.
Netball Singapore's chief executive officer Cyrus Medora agreed that the process of sharpening their skills and gaining competition experience will take a few years.
He said: "The newcomers are still settling in, and the team is nowhere close to the level we used to be, they have not got into their top gear yet.
"These two years will be good for them to progress and prepare for the Asian Championship in 2018."
The tournament, tentatively scheduled to be held in September 2018, also serves as a qualifier for the 2019 Netball World Cup to be held in England.
Medora wants to replicate the success of hosting the 2014 edition.
He said: "The last time when we held the event, everything shot up - from the fan awareness, spectator experience, match atmosphere to social media feeds, and filled stadiums."
He also hopes to expand the number of countries competing in the continental tournament. Just nine countries feature at the present edition in Thailand.
He said: "We want to get more South-east Asia countries like the Philippines and Myanmar to be involved, to help them to develop the sport so that netball can be more regularly featured in the SEA Games too."

Chemistry in the 1950s
Robert Brandauer, longtime chemistry professor.
Back in the 1950s the College was, as its own literature stated, a "single purpose" institution, and that purpose was teacher training. Later in the mid-1960s the College would as part of its ongoing expansion become a comprehensive liberal arts college, with various majors, such as chemistry for example. But before then we still were teaching chemistry here, to aspiring science teachers, and one of the faculty was Robert Brandauer, who taught here from 1946-1970.
In a 1947 Stylus article he is described as "...the man with a million dollar smile..." He had an MS in Chemistry from Cornell (1939,) and at the time was working on his doctorate. In a curious coincidence he had previously taught at Roberts College in Istanbul, where Professor Martin Rogers had also taught. Faculty like Brandauer were in from the beginning of that incredible arc the school traveled, from a small teachers college with less than 1,000 students to a major comprehensive institution with almost 10,000 students.

Yadukula Kirtan Mela – Shahdara
Just like the spiritual master awakens the dormant love in the hearts of the devotees, similarly, He awakens the love for Krishna in their living by installing life into deities.
Another such life changing event occurred on the 26th January'18 where Sri Sri Nitai- Nadia Vihari were welcomed into hearts and lives of many, by the mercy of Srila Gurudev
Yadukula under the guidance of HH Kratu Das ji Maharaj got the oportunity to perform the all auspicious continuous 9 hour Harinaam Kirtan for the welcome and the pleasure of the Lord's. The preparations started weeks ago where all volunteers enthusiastically came together to welcome their lordships in the most magnificient and spectacular way. All devotees got to witness the most beautiful abhishek of Sri Sri Nitai Nadia Vihari, along with the blissful chanting and hyms of "Govindam adi purusam". Devotees were served with sumptuous prasadam for the whole day, as the kirtan hall kept receiving more and more participants for inviting Sri Harinaam Prabhu with their melodious and soulful kirtanas
The day ended with lots and lots of dancing, where Srila Gurudev himself brought all devotees together to dance for the pleasure of the lord.
Sri Sri Nitai-Nadia Vihari ki jai!
Yuga dharma harinaam kirtan ki jai!
Shri Jagannath Rath Yatra – 2018
When the pangs of loving separation touch it's crest, even the Lord of the Universe become a puppet in the hands of His lovers. Becoming blind to all the impediments, He walks. Walks with such majesty and reverence, that the world comes out on the streets to become an attestant to such amorous exchanges.
This Lord of the Universe, Sri Jagannath becomes the cause and means to deliver all of these attendants who sing and dance in His glory.
This is the Maha Jagannath Rath Yatra.
By the auspicious blessings and presence of HH Kratu Maharaj, the yearly Rath Yatra was organised in Ashok Vihar on 14th January'18. With over a 500 people participating in the Yatra by various means, this day gave celestial bliss to all who became a part of it and even the one who got an opportunity to be an onlooker. The Yatra commenced with some ambrosial words from the lotus mouth of HH Kratu Maharaj in the glory of Sri Rath Yatra, making all the dancing and singing more meaningful. Continuous Harinaam Kirtan and dancing embellished the Mahotsava. The Yatra terminated with some more euphoric kirtana, Jagannath ashtakam and bhajans by HG Deenanayak prabhu.
Illimitable Prasadam maintained Sri Jagannath-Sri Baldev and Subhadra Maharani's image of being the all-provider.
All glories to the most loving Lord!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
New Temple Opening in Aligarh
From Aligarh to 'Hari'garh!
From West Virginia to New Vrindavan; Lord Krishna has spread His causeless mercy through Srila Prabhupada in every part of His creation. Now, it was time for Aligarh to become Harigarh.
Lord Sri Hari sent His representative, HH Kratu Das ji Das Ji Maharaj to carry out this most auspicious task and materialize or better so spiritualise the words of Lord Chaitanya and Srila Prabhupada who prophesied the existence of Krishna's temple with the echoes of Harinaam in every town and village of the world.
Dayalu-Shyam also decided to make another elevated soul a part of these divine arrangements by making him the medium through which ISKCON got the land for the construction of its temple. This divine personality is, Dr. Varshney who had a deep desire just like Srila Prabhupada to make this temple a centre of Vedic education, especially Bhagwad-Gita, for all, hence giving the temple its name 'Gita Gyan Mandir'.
After the Bhumi Pujan on 13th November, 2015 in the presence of HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj, HH Navyogendra Swami Maharaj and HH Kratu Das ji Das ji Maharaj Himself, the temple saw its opening in its first phase on 30th November, 2017. The preparations for this day had begun almost a year ago when HH Kratu Das ji Maharaj had fixed the date for this divine occasion to take place on the most auspicious day of Mokshda Ekadashi, Sri Gita Jayanti. As planned by HH Kratu Das ji Das ji Maharaj and His disciples, the day witnessed an attendance of almost 10, 000 devotees from Aligarh, Delhi and Vrindavan. A Gita yajna set up in 13 Yajna sthalis was performed with the recitation of all shlokas of Sri Bhagwad Gita by Gurukul students from ISKCON Vrindavan. The most awaited installation of the deity of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada followed by Sri Krishna and Arjuna in their one- of- a- kind rare darshan took place in the temple hall. There was a 12 hour kirtan performed by HH Kratu Das ji Das ji Maharaj's disciples and many other visiting devotees in the temple hall. A Bhagwad Gita katha by Maharaj's disciples on the entire Bhagwad Gita was steady in the lawns followed by some beautiful cultural performances by Maharaj's youth club, IYF C2C.
This day became more glorious with the presence of two more disciples of Srila Prabhupada- HH Deena Bandhu prabhu and HG Dadhi Bhaksha prabhu . Some other great personalities like HH Bhaktianugraha Janardana Swami Maharaj from Vrindavan, HG Mohan Rupa prabhu- President of ISKCON New Delhi, HG Krishna Bhakta prabhu- President of ISKCON Noida also graced this event.
Continuous ekadashi prasadam was served the entire day to all the devotees visiting the temple. __ commented "The programme was very well organized and managed". Another devotee from Peru who was attending the programme also added that the arrangements were fulfilling and the prasadam was delicious. He also commented that he has never had such beautiful darshan of Krishna Arjuna.
It was a joyous day for HG Rasraj prabhu, the president of ISKCON Aligarh who had been working very hard for years to make this event a grand success.

MSU "Fish Bowl" Addresses Race, Culture, Ethnicity
On April 30, the Multicultural Student Union (MSU) hosted a Fish Bowl Discussion & Open Mic Night featuring students and teachers diving into issues of race and culture, items people typically don't feel comfortable discussing in an open forum.
This was the first time the MSU has hosted an Open Mic Night. It was an opportunity for people to understand each other in a safe and judgment-free zone.
In the open-mic portion of the event, featured performances included Nat Simpson, Language Teacher, Anaya Akapalu '21, and Insoo Kang '19.
Simpson read two poems, both in Spanish and English, by Pablo Neruda. The first poem he read was about Neruda talking about the country he left behind, expressing immense nationalism. The second poem was called "I like you when you're quiet," which is about love. Neruda was a Pulitzer-Prize winning poet from Chile.
Anaya read an emotional piece she wrote named "Ode to Survivors." Insoo, from Korea, talked about the Asian stereotypes he had to face in sports. He pushed away the label of him not being able to play basketball because he is Asian. "Labels can really pull people down," he told the audience.
Before each question, volunteers went up to the front of the room and sat in chairs, the spotlight squarely on them. Then Zoe Okaisabor '19, leader of the MSU, picked from a bowl with questions written by students and members of the audience. If the volunteers chose to not answer, they were allowed to tap out. Someone could take their place and answer the question for them instead.
The questions centered on divisive issues including politics, culture, race, ethnicity, and stereotypes.
Students confronted subjects such as: "Does talking about race divide us?", "What constitutes cultural appropriation?", and "What are some thoughts on the repeat of the use of the 'n word' in pop culture?"
Some student answers included describing the fine line between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation, and the importance of education. The phrase, "My culture is not your costume" popped up as an example of appropriation, the adoption of one culture's customs by another, typically more dominant, one.
The term microaggression came up as well; students described their experiences dealing with subtle forms of racism or prejudice while others listened attentively.
"We [MSU] are all about starting and continuing to support conversations about everyday topics in our lives," Kassandra Ocrutt '19, one of the MSU leaders, told The Willistonian. "We think that as students and athletes, we are not given enough debriefing time. So we wanted to create an event that allowed students to ask questions without guilt or embarrassment."
Zoe felt the event went even better than she'd hoped.
"Because it is our first time doing something like this, surprisingly, it was a lot better than I expected" she said. "A lot of people really had good conversations and there were different opinions, which I wasn't expecting at all."
Zoe added, "I think something that we can work on for next time is putting a time cap on things. I didn't really expect people to talk so much for the first time."

Plankton was, according to the Second Doctor, "small plants and animals from the sea". Ben confirmed this to a bewildered Polly, noting that the animals considered plankton were "little spidery ones". Plankton was at the heart of Professor Zaroff's experiments in Atlantis and served as the basis for most food consumed there. The Doctor found plankton-based food very tasty, comparing it to ambrosia. Polly, however, remained dubious. (TV: The Underwater Menace)
Miss Evangelista was once glad when she was told she had the IQ of a plankton. (TV: Silence in the Library)

Flaked almonds
Vegan Paella with artichokes and almonds
January 26, 2015 By JodieFiled under: Food
Paella is without a doubt my favourite rice dish. It's so versatile and goes with pretty much every vegetable out there.
This dish, like most of my recipes, is easily adaptable depending on your preferences. This is one of my favourite versions, it just looks so beautiful, and the almonds and artichokes are a delicious combination.
In other news – it's still Veganuary! Lots of people took the plunge to give a vegan diet a go for a New Year's resolution this year. If you're stuck for recipes or motivation, head over to their site for even more delicious recipes and inspiration. That 'Really Hungry Burger' is surely able to make anyone's mouth water?
Vegan Tagine
December 1, 2014 By JodieFiled under: Food
Hi – Jodie here with this week's recipe, although World Vegan Month is over now, I'll carry on sharing some recipes for a bit 🙂
As a family we have all collectively spent a lot of time in Morocco and are always bringing back authentic recipes and spices to recreate our favourite dishes at home. This recipe is my take on a vegan tagine.
With a tagine you do not necessarily need the authentic dish in order to cook this, a large saucepan and lid will work just as well, or an oven proof dish and lid, cook and prep time will not vary depending on chosen dish.
Perhaps we'll start to see vegan tagine appearing on a high street near you soon? Apparently catering for the 'plant curious' is becoming big business.

Ruckership was the goal today. Seahorse & YHC wandered for ~2.4 miles, talked about shipping from China, getting lost on the UNCW trails, landscaping, larger than life landscapers (if you need a guy, get with Seahorse), and managed to draw via GPS what resembles a dog giving a fist bump.
Not sure what the runners were up to, we did pass eachother briefly, so there was running involved…

Santa Barbara Music Club Free Concerts
On Saturday, February 9 at 3 p.m. the Santa Barbara Music Club will present another program in its popular series of concerts of beautiful Classical music. This afternoon's program features an ensemble cast of performers: pianists Allen Bishop and Paula Hatley, bassoonists Simon Knight and Paul Mori, flutist Sherylle Englander, clarinetist Per Elmfors, oboist Adelle Rodkey, and violinist Claude-Lise Lafranque. Each performer contributes to a broad array of chamber-music pieces spanning almost two centuries. On the repertoire roster is a collection of works that play with conventions of formal organization, "formal musings:" Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's (1756 - 1791) Sonata in G major, K. 379 for violin and piano; the Quatuor à vents by Jean Françaix (1912 - 1997); the Sonate, Op. 71, for bassoon and piano by Charles Koechlin (1867 - 1950); and Four Old Tunes by Gordon Jacob (1895 - 1984). This concert, co-sponsored by the Santa Barbara Public Library, will be held at its Faulkner Gallery, 40 E Anapamu St, Santa Barbara. Admission is free.
The earliest chamber work on today's program is Mozart's Sonata in G major, K. 379 for violin and piano, composed in 1781, and belongs to a group of the six so-called "Auernhammer Sonatas," named after the dedicatee Josepha von Auernhammer (1758 - 1820). Mozart composed the G-major sonata along with two others shortly after he settled permanently in Vienna. Most historical accounts and program notes mention in brief a time Mozart composed this piece, but that is a bit of an understatement. The composer himself penned the following words about the work's premiere: "today (for I am writing at eleven o'clock at night) we had a concert, where three of my compositions were performed-new ones . . a sonata with violin accompaniment for myself, which I composed last night between eleven and twelve (but in order to be able to finish it, I only wrote out the accompaniment and retained my own part in my head)." At the risk of perpetuating the narrative of Mozart's ostensibly superhuman abilities, one hour is very brief! As Claude-Lise Lafranque and Allen Bishop demonstrate, the sonata reverses the established formal standard of the fast-slow-fast movements in Mozart's day. The outer movements are both slow and in G major, but the middle movement is the fast one and in G minor. The bookend movements, depending on one's listening experience, can serve to buttress the central movement.
Although composing at uncanny speeds and at young age have informed our inherited narrative of Mozart, he is not the only composer to have accomplished these feats. Felix Mendelssohn and Camille Saint-Saëns come to mind, yet less well-known is the neo-classical French composer Jean Françaix. He started composing at age six and began studying with Nadia Boulanger at age 10. When he reached the ripe old age of 21, Françaix wrote the explosively energetic Quatuor à vents (Quartet for winds) of 1933. The neo-classical stamp of the quartet lies in its formal structure, which uses the four-movement classical symphony structure - fast-slow-dance-fast - a collective effort to hold on to history at a time which every aspect of musical compositional tradition was held suspect. Indeed, 1933 was a time when all manner of harmonic languages were flying from the coop of tonality, but Françaix used an entirely accessible language. In fact, Sherylle Englander, Per Elmfors Adelle Rodkey, and Simon Knight reveal the quartet as more than a little tonally referential. The piece oftentimes settles on key centers, making the neo-classicism of the piece all the more traditional.
Interestingly enough, Charles Koechlin composed the Sonate, Op. 71 for piano and bassoon in 1918, fifteen years before Françaix composed his wind quartet. Yet the sonata did not premiere until 1938, five years after the Françaix quartet. Even more astounding is that Op. 71 did not appear in print until 1990! To say there was overlap between the final two pieces on this afternoon's program - like saying Mozart composed K. 379 briefly - would be an understatement. Yet Koechlin's placement in Western music history situates him in the generation preceding that of the neo-classical one to which Françaix belongs. Koechlin shares company with early-modernist composers who had inherited and had to deal with the problematic traditions of Romanticism with regard to form, pitch and harmonic content, and so forth. According to Koechlin's earliest biographer Jules Guieysse, the composer reconciled his Romantic inheritance by completely revising his compositional style with Op. 71 and a number of other contemporaneous chamber works. As Paul Mori and Paula Hatley show, the sonata does not follow a standard formal structure for three-movement works, par for the stylistic revolution. Yet the character and harmony of the piece reveals strong models in Fauré and Chopin, some of the most romantic of the Romantics. So the nigh-contemporary pieces of the quartet for winds and sonata for flute and bassoon show two sides of the same inter-bellum French coin of Western classical music.
The latest piece on this afternoon's program, performed again by the wind players of the Françaix quartet, is the charming set of Four Old Tunes, by British composer Gordon Jacobs. Arranged in 1975 for woodwind quartet, the piece comprises four British folk tunes: "Bobby Shafto," "Golden Slumbers," "Tell mee, Daphne (after Giles Farnaby)," and "Charlie Is My Darling." Despite having been written within the past 50 years, one may mistake this piece with the fin-de-siècle compositions by Ralph Vaughan Williams. These pieces evoke pastoral imagery and timbres, in addition to summoning English history through folk song. While these pieces do not lend themselves to classical formal structures like the previous works on today's program, Gordon grouped four "movements" together as a whole, which does fit well into today's theme of "formal musings." In addition, the work complements those of Françaix and Koechlin: on the one hand, the similar performing forces offer listeners points of comparison and contrast with the Françaix; on the other hand, Jacob's placement in music history is not unlike that of Koechlin in that both found themselves having to reconcile inherited traditions of Western composition, which ultimately yielded pieces of great lyricism.
The mission of the Santa Barbara Music Club is to contribute to the musical life of our community through the following actions:
● Presentation of an annual series of concerts, free to the public, featuring outstanding solo and chamber music performances by Performing Members and invited guests;
● Presentation of community outreach activities, including bringing great music to residents of area retirement homes;
● Aiding and encouraging musical education by the disbursement of scholarships to talented local music students.

There is no health without mental health and all public health practitioners should keep this in mind in day-to-day practice. This workshop conducted by the National Collaborating Centre for Healthy Public Policy (NCCHPP) facilitated a discussion on the needs identified by public health practitioners to develop and implement a population mental health agenda. Needs have been identified through an exploratory questionnaire developed and implemented? in collaboration with the NCCPH.
Pascale Mantoura from the NCCHPP introduced the survey findings. She was joined by Dr. Chris Mackie (Middlesex-London Health Unit), Heather Manson (Public Health Ontario), Jessica Patterson (Toronto Public Health) and Tamar Meyer (CAMH Health Promotion Resource Centre), who offered their own perspective on the findings.
Workshop participants were encouraged to reflect on the needs presented in their own public health practice.
This workshop took place in Toronto on March 25, at the Ontario Public Health Convention (TOPHC).
To read the complete workshop's description, have a look at the Convention's Program (see page 20)..

Since my husband is into folk music and we were in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we decided to visit the Woody Guthrie Center. This center opened in 2013 and is a tribute to Woody Guthrie's art, music, and service to the human race. You will find etchings of his artwork, lyrics to his songs, and some of his instruments. The center also has the oil painting "This Land Was Made For You and Me" by Charles Banks Wilson. All of the displays were very well put together.
I was watching the video about the 1930's Dust Bowl when I noticed my husband was looking at the Bob Wills Display. Walking over to look with him I noticed something that caused me to stop looking at everything else in the place. On a mannequin in this display case was a white, long-sleeved, button-down shirt with a blue, hand embroidered lyre with the words "Light Crust Doughboys" on it!
I ended up having to give the archivist my e-mail and do a huge search on-line. I can tell you, from what I could see, the thread was pearl cotton and the stitch was the chain stitch. Unfortunately, these are the only photos the Oklahoma Historical Society was able to provide me. Amy, the OHS Curator of Collections, was able to provide me information from the catalog:
"Catalog info: Men's long sleeve white cotton dress shirt with single breast pocket. Embroidered in blue on the front and back is 'Light Crust Doughboys.' The label is marked 'Penney's by Towncraft, 100% Pima Cotton, Kingbar.'
Date range: 1931-1942
Used in Oklahoma and Texas, owned by Bob Wills (or band member)."
When I went home, I found a website for the Light Crust Doughboys. I was stunned to find they are still playing! However, they are not the same band members who wore the embroidered shirts, but the group is still around and playing some wonderful music. When you are searching around the internet world, you should stop by and hear them for yourself.
We had a wonderful time on our trip to the Woody Guthrie Center. I do hope you are able to visit them if you are ever in Tulsa, Oklahoma. While you are there, please tell Sam Flowers (the young man pictured above) I said "hello". Also, you will find a wonderful stage just outside of the center called Guthrie Green where they host many fabulous, talented singers and groups. Take some time and appreciate the area while you visit; you never know when you will find a very pleasant surprise!

Marie worked hard, often behind the scenes, with no need for thanks or praise. She trusted the call to serve, however it came, and responded generously.
Sister Carol Johannes spoke these words about Sister Marie Quenneville in her homily at Sister Marie's funeral Mass, further describing Sister Marie as a humble woman, a splendid and creative teacher, and a wonderful witness to the Dominican dedication to truth.
Sister Marie was born January 18, 1936, in Detroit, to George and Marie (Bonten) Quenneville. George was born in Stoney Pointe, Ontario, Canada, where his family had a farm, and met his future wife while he was what was called a "nickel immigrant," commuting on the Windsor to Detroit ferry – which cost a nickel to ride – to work at the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) factory in Detroit.
Marie Bonten had come to Detroit with her mother, Clara, and two siblings from Antwerp, Belgium, in 1921. Her father, Charles, had arrived at some earlier point to get a job and establish a home, and Clara and her children followed. Not knowing a word of English, they sailed for the United States, went through Ellis Island, and boarded a train for Detroit, where Charles met his family at the Michigan Central train station.

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Sister Marie. She was a great teacher and was so patient with my son Matthew when he was in kindergarten at St. Gabriel in the early 1980's. He wasn't happy about having to go to school and she made him feel safe and loved. I also remember her great times we had when Sr.Marie and Sr. Sharon would come over to my house for dinner. Sister Marie, her family and friends will be in our thoughts and prayers. The Reese Family
The St. Gabriel students, alumni and family express their profound sadness at the passing of Sr. Marie...a beautiful and caring messenger of God's word and love. Sr. Marie demonstrably lived the values of who faith and good works - and because of this, so many people today whom she touched in her many years as an educator and mentor now can live lives that are more competent, purposeful and ethical....
Our Adrian Dominican cemetery with its circular headstones is a beautiful place of rest for women who gave their lives in service to God — and a peaceful place for contemplation and remembrance.

It is called the Quilters tacker. It was designed to put tacks in a quilt frame, take them out, and straighten bent tacks. I got to try it before I bought it, and can't believe how easy it is. The tool that puts the tacks in is magnetic so you just push it down on the wood and your tack is set in the wood, then to remove the tack you use the other tool that easily lifts the tack out. These are not advertised at all, but I have the contact information of the maker.
I did a shop hop with my 12 year old daughter on Saturday, and at one of the shops there was a man selling the neatest tool.

I have this phone since December 2012, i stil like the design (shape,screen, the back, but in performance...not so much. For ex. now it's connected to my PC and i can't answer any calls,it won't allow me...another thing, when speaking, if i stick it to my face it enters my agenda and starts calling people...so i can dial with my cheek...camera? not great! i hate the way it goes on silence mode...i hate that so-called fingerprint friendly on the back side...It may look nice, but it's not a great phone...i'm disappointed!
If your are in Doha Qatar my advice Pls think twice before you buy any sony Phone cause the service is so very bad that then don't even have a outlet with sony accessories.I have tried very hard to get accessories to my new XPeria Phone but not a single outlet has any Sony accessories
how can get the Skype video calls?only voice call can get in this phone?
You need to use method 2 to upgrade the Xperia J to 4.2.2.
Didn't really notice a difference. Maybe the proximity senor got a little better.
Xperia j is bad phone in this price range because of some big corns...
1-Very old or back dated processor cortex A5
2-low ram 512 mb.
3-Camera performance is not good fumble in focus.
4-Low internal memory because you didn't allow to move your apps to ext card thus very limited apps or not able to install big apps..
xpria j upgtble jelly bean is vry slw.....main rsn is its prssr 1Ghz..
this phone design is elegant, the peformance not bad (just a little laggs but after upgrade.. laggs is more less), internet connection not bad( if you lost connection just turn off and turn on the mobile data)..
the only bad thing that this phone only has single core, so i think that is what makes this phone laggy..
Hi frnds shall i go for s duos or xperia j plz some one help me...

i can't surport this
worst phone ever.... i would have bought nokia 1100. no apps run on it...hangs everytime...i would request new phone buyers not to buy this phone....worst my friens also faced this problem/...
If you want help with the rooting of your xperia j contact me at email@example.com
N my personal review of this phone is quite good..
I dont get any sort of problems on this phone..

So no issues related to this phone..
Price is quite reasonable..

Recently we heard from Ely about their participation in the IRBC program. Incredible Ely mentioned their business broadband survey. Incredible Ely works with local entrepreneurs – and as they work they will be tracking progress with future survey. Pam was kind enough to share the results – with a generous offer to talk with anyone about their program (email@example.com).
I'm excited to share the results today. This is a baseline survey. They spoke with 60 local businesses and asked them basic questions about their business and broadband use. It's interesting to see how local businesses are currently using the internet.
As you can see – top "most important use" is selling.
They also asked what businesses could do differently with quality internet. Here's an abridged list (I removed suggestions that were similar):
- Could research things faster
- Develop an online retail presence
- Greater internet efficiency = greater profits
- Internet would be faster at work and at home
- Develop website – advertise store products
- It would give us the ability to increase online applications and fishing/camping trips
- It will benefit our business if our individual clients have broadband. This will increase their ability to contact us because their outages will be decreased and they will have greater bandwidth to enable them to utilize some of our company's services
- Selling online retail (both in and outside the Ely area), now only sell wholesale
- Could increase business by being able to get back to customers on a timely basis – Frontier goes down
- Paying for only one internet service would be nice, now we have two services in case one goes down
- We would have reliable music through the internet for customers
- Not known at this point, too new
- It would help with access to ATM
- If we had better internet we would look at our marketing differently, internet speed impacts how we market
- Internet reliability is important. If the internet is down we can't check-in guests

(SPACE DAILY) – Earth has a new lightning capital, according to a recent study using observations from the Lightning Imaging Sensor onboard NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission. Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela earned the top spot receiving an average rate of about 233 flashes per square kilometer per year, according to the study. Researchers had previously identified Africa's Congo Basin as the location of maximum lightning activity.
The research team constructed a very high resolution data set derived from 16 years of space-based LIS observations to identify and rank lightning hotspots. They described their research in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
"We can now observe lightning flash rate density in very fine detail on a global scale," said Richard Blakeslee, LIS project scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. "Better understanding of lightning activity around the world enables policy makers, government agencies and other stakeholders to make more informed decisions related to weather and climate."

Once upon a time when I lived in NW Indiana I joined a group of women encouraged to do so by Oprah Winfrey to discuss a self-help book written by life coach Cheryl Richardson.
Five of us responded to a group in the southern suburbs meeting at a Border's Bookstore over the period of a year. Our group was made up of an antique dealer, an MSW in childhood trauma, a sales manager for a large well-known European manufacturer, a data processing person at a bank, and myself a pharmaceutical rep for a major drug company.
One of the fondest memories I have from those meetings was when we all admitted how many self-help books we owned which we never read. We all owned at least 10-20 such books. When I look back I realize that we all buy into the idea of self-help because we really do want or need to be better people, yet the books remain unread. We also get pushed into buying these books by talk show guests – believing that everything that is inside the covers of these books will make us better.
If you have ever been in sales then you know that in sales meetings you are bombarded with books and videos of the self-help inspirational genre.
You buy them – I buy them. You watch them on TV, I watch them on TV and better yet when they get their own talk shows we watch them for how long? Most people probably don't make it through one new TV season.
I was an Oprah Show addict while I lived in NW Indiana. I had many personal "Oprah" sightings including one where we spoke to each other. I taped every show and my husband and I watched her while we ate dinner. That was then; this is 5 years later. I can honestly say there is life after Oprah and I have not watched one of her shows since moving to Florida. She changed and I changed and I did not like her shows any longer-OR-maybe I did not need to watch her shows any longer. Maybe I self-helped myself out of that addiction to everything Oprah said and did must be right and true.
Don't get me wrong I do not think she is a bad person-the turn her show has taken just doesn't interest me.
We tend to reach for help and assistance when obviously our lives are upside down. I came to the realization one day that I no longer flipped on the TV to catch her show. I had been watching her religiously 0ver the 7 year period of time in which I had left living in a foreign country to return to the US. I needed her self-help guests then. I also realized I was in a much better place in my life when I stopped watching.
Five years ago I had just embarked on a huge move – moving thousands of miles away with my husband. I had quit working for "the man" and became self-employed. My life had done a 180 degree turn and I was in control. I spent a year decorating a beautiful home. I travelled with Larry to Europe twice, once for him to pick up an award for a fabulous food and wine matching book he had written, and once again to spend New Years Eve in Paris, France. I was building a business for he and I, and I started a side business in design. More than that, I was and still am really happy. I had finally gotten "there".
Where is "there"? Well we buy into books and TV shows when we feel we have no one or no where else to go. I am not saying meeting my husband and falling in love with him was my fix in life. Not at all – but being with a grounded person helped me to find my inner peace and made me a better person.
I don't think anyone should be alone in life, we are not meant to be alone. I do believe there is someone for everyone, in fact statistically there are several someones for everyone. I don't understand people who choose to live the spinster/hermit lifestyle – and I am not going to try to explain it here. I just know that until I faced my demons and brought them into the happiness mix of being in love I was not truly happy.
I could try to convince people I was happy by only hanging around happy, positive people but like everything else in life there is always going to be a negative unhappy person crossing your path probably daily. Can you detour, sure, but everytime you detour you are closing yourself off from real life. Real life has its ups and downs and happy and unhappy moments and you learn from negativity. If you are sitting there thinking "Yeah I learned I don't want it in my life" you are off base. After all if you attract the positive you also attract the negative and need to learn, as I did, why you attracted it in the first place. In other words, you may have your own inner demons – sorry but you can't have it only one way.
Real life has balance – it is not one-sided and you cannot keep negativity at bay. Personally I think many people who claim they only want positive people need positive people because they are so unhappy themselves.
Negativity has it's rewards-it reminds us how to be grateful – it brings empathetic feelings into our lives. If we cannot feel empathy then we do not feel at all do we?
I feel that one of the worst negative feelings anyone can have is to be judgemental. Do we all judge, of course! Do we judge more when we are unhappy, yes! Do we make mistakes in judging people, yes! Do we do and say stupid things when we judge, hell yes! Judging others is very negative-and when you judge someone you invite them to judge you back.
A huge example of negative feelings that come out of judging people is the differences in the beliefs and policies of the two major governmental parties. There is nothing positive happening when anyone is in the middle of a discussion on politics. There are people who love to stir the pot and make harsh judgements which lead us to have an opinion, and if we dare to speak it put us on the firing line to be judged.
Opinions and judgement are interchangeable too. In giving an opinion as I did here, I was skirting a topic I have spoken about in my blogging before. I have single friends and I have friends in relationships – in my opinion those friends who are in a stable (and I have to put that word into the mix) relationship are in a much better place in life. Their spoken and written words are generally less harsh than those of their single counterparts. Statistics prove that single people do not live as long-having someone else to care for and care back does wonders for you physically and emotionally.
When I wrote about this in a former blog, Caroline the Stalker was born. She did not like it when I wrote that those who have been single the longest may have the most selfish negative opinions. Selfishness to them is normal, they can always put themselves first but that also creates very spoiled, and sometimes nasty, spinster/hermits.
I am not saying that all single people are selfish and negative, I am saying that for some reason I attract them. There are selfish negative people in relationships but the key difference is I am only talking about stable couples – happy unselfish people in stable relationships.
When I was in that same emotional mode I know I probably drove my friends insane because I could spout all those wonderful positive thoughts all day making people believe I was the next Wayne Dyer, but I was not spouting how I really felt. In a flash of time I could drop the pretense and become that energy stealing vampire that brought Caroline into my life.
I could talk out of both sides of my mouth better than anyone I knew. It takes a lot of energy to say one thing and do another all day long, 365 days a year. One of the interesting ways to recognize a person who does this is when you get "there" you see yourself in that person. You have to be open to looking for this trait and willing to admit it like I am here.
It is a lot easier to spot these days – people blog, people are on MySpace and Facebook and a pattern emerges over time.
You know the type person I am talking about – you hide their comments, you don't open their email or you roll your eyes a lot.
When I think of attraction I remember that opposites attract also so it is not always like to like, positive to positive – you will attract polar opposites in life and many of us have even fallen in love with them. It is about balance though – I accept the negative along with the positive because let's face it too much of either is just not the way this world works.

An all women Indian Navy crew of "Navika Sagar Parikrama" is attempting a global circumnavigation. This historic journey was flagged off by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at Panaji yesterday. She told press persons that the Defence Ministry would be more than willing to support and encourage women to explore opportunities in the armed forces.
The project is seen as essential for promoting ocean sailing activities in the Navy and it would help to change societal attitude and mindset towards women. The crew would update meteorological data on a daily basis and also monitor marine pollution on the high seas. The Ritz team wishes these brave women all the very best.
