Nonprofits expert witnesses often have different types of backgrounds, since numerous businesses may operate as a nonprofit enterprise. Nonprofit expert consulting may provide valuable information for cases involving such areas as accounting, taxation, and early childhood education, as well as other types of educational programs and services, financial matters, and various business practices, each of which may become relevant in the event of a court case focusing on a nonprofit organization.
Because nonprofit organizations often operate as educational facilities and services, many nonprofit expert witnesses may have a background working in education, whether it involves academic education, day care facilities, or other types of educational institutions. Nonprofits focusing on education may also involve child development, schoolteachers and teacher evaluations, community outreach programs, coaching, employee training, and various strategic plans regarding licensing and organization.
Like other types of organizations, nonprofit expert witnesses are often involved with matters related to accounting, which is a major factor in running any type of business, even those operating at a nonprofit basis. Such issues may include insurance, taxation, the internal revenue service, audits, accounting malpractice, fraud detection, financial reporting, damages, and other financial matters. Other nonprofit experts may be knowledgeable in public relations and media, as many nonprofits utilize celebrity endorsements as part of their marketing strategies.

A CFD, or Contract for Difference, is an agreement between two parties to exchange the difference between the opening price and closing price of a contract. CFDs are derivatives products which allow you to trade on live market price movements without actually owning the underlying asset(shares, indices, single stock, or commodity) on which your contract is based. CFDs allow you to trade on the future movement of market prices regardless of whether the underlying markets are rising or falling. They allow traders access to markets which they would not normally be able to invest in.

Troy Coughlin wins final Pro Mod race of NHRA season, finishes year second overall
LAS VEGAS (Oct. 30) — Two-time world champion Troy Coughlin won the 16th annual NHRA Toyota Nationals Sunday at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to finish the 10-race J&A Services Pro Mod Drag Racing Series in second place overall. Coughlin has now finished either first or second in the championship chase for five consecutive seasons, a stunning mark in any professional category.
"It's been an awesome day and a phenomenal year," Coughlin said. "Last year we didn't win any races but managed to win the championship. This year we won three races but finished second. That's how crazy this class is and how close the racing has been year after year. It's a bunch of wins decided by fractions of a second.
"We've experienced a lot of emotion throughout the season. There's been a lot of ups and downs with some big rule changes but our guys adapted, came back hard and kicked ass, which made it very easy for me to drive this JEGS.com Corvette."
Coughlin flexed brute force on the quarter-mile strip all day, reeling off a stunning run of lightning-quick passes to beat Pete Farber, Kevin Rivenbark, newly-crowned champ Rickie Smith and Todd Tutterow in the final. This was Coughlin's third victory of the season and ninth of his Pro Mod career.
Although every round win was pivotal in the victory, it was Coughlin's second-round blast of 5.776 seconds at 252.76 mph that brought the crowd to its feet. His elapsed time was within striking distance of the national record of 5.751, and was easily the best of the entire race weekend.
"We're not touching this racecar because it's perfect," Coughlin said. "It might come out of the trailer again until (the 2017 season opener in) Gainesville. What a year it's been and what a way to finish it off. The whole Jegs.com<http://jegs.com/> race team has been strong and we couldn't be more excited.
"I want to thank the guys at Pro Line for building our engines as well as Alan Johnson and his crew out in California. I'm the lucky guy that gets to sit in the seat but it's the rest of these guys working their butts off that make it happen. I'm very proud of what Steve (Petty, crew chief) has done. I'm very proud of Mike Rees, Kyle Pettis and Woody Woodruff. It's so important to be associated with good people."
Seeing Smith clinch the title earlier in the day followed a familiar pattern for the two pros, who once worked together when Smith tuned Coughlin's car. In the last five years, Coughlin won championships in 2012 and 2015, while Smith won it all in 2013, 2014 and now 2016.
"Hat's off to Rickie," Coughlin said. "He's won more rounds than anyone else but we finished so close to him and made him earn it. What a deal. What a blast it's been. It's just been a great season and to win like this going into the off season is fantastic."

There is no water shortage in Selangor, says panel
Posted on July 26, 2012 by Dr. Dzul
By TEH ENG HOCK
enghock@thestar.com.my
SHAH ALAM: Treated water reserves in the state stand at 11%, a special water monitoring committee led by state secretary Datuk Khusrin Munawi claims.
He insisted that besides Cheras, which is supplied by the Sungai Langat treatment plant, there were no water disruptions in the state.
"There is no water shortage as pictured by some media," he told reporters after the state executive council meeting yesterday.
Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, who was at the same press conference, said the water reserve rate of 2%, as claimed by water concessionaire Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas), was inaccurate.
"The production capacity reserve is 11% and will increase to 18% after March next year once the mitigation project is completed," he claimed.
Asked about the difference in statistics, Khalid said the special committee looked at the capacity of treatment plants while Syabas referred to its distributive system capacity.
He said the mitigation project would improve both the capacity of treatment plants as well as distributive system.
"The production capacity of the 34 treatment plants at present is 4,807 million litres a day (MLD), compared to Syabas' distributive capacity of 4,371 MLD.
"There is an excess of 436 MLD and it means that Syabas is operating below its actual capacity," he said.
Khalid added that once the mitigation project was completed, the production capacity would rise to 5,139 MLD, which is 768 MLD more than Syabas' distributive capacity.
He said the findings by the special committee strengthened the state government's plan to take over the operations of Syabas, as the water concessionaire had failed to provide satisfactory service to the people.
Khalid said the Federal Government had not totally rejected the state's plan on Syabas, but had merely referred it to the Attorney-General for advice.
"In the meantime, we have moved forward by preparing the necessary documents," he said.
On the Federal Government's intention to issue tenders for the Langat 2 water treatment plant next month without the state government's consent, Khalid said he would not interfere with the tender process.
"The authority to approve any application relating to the implementation of Langat 2 must be directed to the state government," he said.

A role-playing game (RPG and sometimes roleplaying game[1][2]) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting or through a process of structured decision-making or character development.[3] Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines.[4]
There are several forms of RPG. The original form, sometimes called the tabletop RPG, is conducted through discussion, whereas in live action role-playing games (LARP) players physically perform their characters' actions.[5] In both of these forms, an arranger called a game master (GM) usually decides on the rules and setting to be used and acts as referee, while each of the other players plays the role of a single character.[6]
Several varieties of RPG also exist in electronic media, such as multi-player text-based MUDs and their graphics-based successors, massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs). Role-playing games also include single-player role-playing video games in which players control a character or team who undertake quests, and may include capabilities that advance using statistical mechanics. These games often share settings and rules with tabletop RPGs, but emphasize character advancement more than collaborative storytelling.[7][8]
Despite this variety of forms, some game forms such as trading card games and wargames that are related to role-playing games may not be included. Role-playing activity may sometimes be present in such games, but it is not the primary focus.[9] The term is also sometimes used to describe roleplay simulation games and exercises used in teaching, training, and academic research.

2.2 Live action

4 Player character
5 Non-player character
Both authors and major publishers of tabletop role-playing games consider them to be a form of interactive and collaborative storytelling.[2][10][11] Events, characters, and narrative structure give a sense of a narrative experience, and the game need not have a strongly-defined storyline.[12] Interactivity is the crucial difference between role-playing games and traditional fiction. Whereas a viewer of a television show is a passive observer, a player in a role-playing game makes choices that affect the story.[13] Such role-playing games extend an older tradition of storytelling games where a small party of friends collaborate to create a story.
While simple forms of role-playing exist in traditional children's games of make believe, role-playing games add a level of sophistication and persistence to this basic idea with additions such as game facilitators and rules of interaction. Participants in a role-playing game will generate specific characters and an ongoing plot. A consistent system of rules and a more or less realistic campaign setting in games aids suspension of disbelief. The level of realism in games ranges from just enough internal consistency to set up a believable story or credible challenge up to full-blown simulations of real-world processes.
Role-playing games are played in a wide variety of formats ranging from discussing character interaction in tabletop form to physically acting out characters in LARP to playing characters virtually in digital media.[14] There is also a great variety of systems of rules and game settings. Games that emphasize plot and character interaction over game mechanics and combat sometimes prefer the name storytelling game. These types of games tend to minimize or altogether eliminate the use of dice or other randomizing elements. Some games are played with characters created before the game by the GM, rather than those created by the players. This type of game is typically played at gaming conventions, or in standalone games that do not form part of a campaign.
A group playing a tabletop RPG. The GM is at left using a cardboard screen to hide dice rolls from the players.
Tabletop and pen-and-paper (PnP) RPGs are conducted through discussion in a small social gathering. The GM describes the game world and its inhabitants. The other players describe the intended actions of their characters, and the GM describes the outcomes.[15] Some outcomes are determined by the game system, and some are chosen by the GM.[16]
This is the format in which role-playing games were first popularized. The first commercially available RPG, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), was inspired by fantasy literature and the wargaming hobby and was published in 1974.[17] The popularity of D&D led to the birth of the tabletop role-playing game industry, which publishes games with many different themes, rules, and styles of play.[18]
This format is often referred to simply as a role-playing game. To distinguish this form of RPG from other formats, the retronyms tabletop role-playing game or pen and paper role-playing game are sometimes used, though neither a table nor pen and paper are strictly necessary.[6]
A fantasy LARP group
A LARP is played more like improvisational theatre.[19] Participants act out their characters' actions instead of describing them, and the real environment is used to represent the imaginary setting of the game world.[5] Players are often costumed as their characters and use appropriate props, and the venue may be decorated to resemble the fictional setting.[20][21] Some live action role-playing games use rock-paper-scissors or comparison of attributes to resolve conflicts symbolically, while other LARPs use physical combat with simulated arms such as airsoft guns or foam weapons.[22]
LARPs vary in size from a handful of players to several thousand, and in duration from a couple of hours to several days.[23][24] Because the number of players in a LARP is usually larger than in a tabletop role-playing game, and the players may be interacting in separate physical spaces, there is typically less of an emphasis on tightly maintaining a narrative or directly entertaining the players, and game sessions are often managed in a more distributed manner.[25]
An adventurer finds a teleportation portal while exploring a dungeon in the role-playing video game Falcon's Eye.
Tabletop role-playing games have been translated into a variety of electronic formats.[26] As early as 1974, the same year as the release of Dungeons & Dragons, unlicensed versions of it were developed on mainframe university systems under titles such as dnd and Dungeon. These early computer RPGs influenced all of electronic gaming, as well as spawning the role-playing video game genre.[18] Some authors divide digital role-playing games into two intertwined groups: single player games using RPG-style mechanics, and multiplayer games incorporating social interaction.[18][27][28]
Single player role-playing video games form a loosely defined genre of computer and console games with origins in role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, on which they base much of their terminology, settings, and game mechanics.[18] This translation changes the experience of the game, providing a visual representation of the world but emphasizing statistical character development over collaborative, interactive storytelling.[7][8]
Typical MUD interface for God Wars II.
Online text-based role-playing games involve many players using some type of text-based interface and an Internet connection to play an RPG. Games played in a real-time way include MUDs, MUSHes, and other varieties of MU*. Games played in a turn-based fashion include play-by-mail games and play-by-post games.
Massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPGs) combine the large-scale social interaction and persistent world of MUDs with graphic interfaces. Most MMORPGs do not actively promote in-character role-playing, however players can use the games' communication functions to role-play so long as other players cooperate.[29] The majority of players in MMORPGs do not engage in role-play in this sense.[30]
Computer-assisted gaming can be used to add elements of computer gaming to in-person tabletop role-playing, where computers are used for record-keeping and sometimes to resolve combat, while the participants generally make decisions concerning character interaction.
One common feature of many RPGs is the role of gamemaster, a participant who has special duties to present the fictional setting, arbitrate the results of character actions, and maintain the narrative flow.[31] In tabletop and live action RPGs the GM performs these duties in person. In video RPGs many of the functions of a GM are fulfilled by the game engine. However some multi-player video RPGs also allow for a participant to take on a GM role through a visual interface called a GM toolkit, albeit with abilities limited by the available technology.[32][33]
Another standard concept in RPGs is the player character, a character in the fictional world of the game whose actions the player controls. Typically each player controls a separate player character, each of whom acts as a protagonist in the story.
In contrast to player characters, non-player characters (NPCs) are controlled by the gamemaster or game engine, or by people assisting the gamemaster. Non-player characters fill out the population of the fictional setting and can act as antagonists, bystanders or allies of the player characters.[34]

^ (Tychsen 2006:76) "The variety of role playing games makes it inherently challenging to provide a common definition. However, all forms of role playing games – be they PnP RPGs, CRPGs, MMORPGs or LARPS - share a group of characteristics, which makes them identifiable from other types of games: storytelling with rules, control of fictional characters, a fictitious reality, usually the presence of a game master (or game engine), and at least one player."
^ a b (Tychsen et al. 2006:255) "LARPs can be viewed as forming a distinct category of RPG because of two unique features: (a) The players physically embody their characters, and (b) the game takes place in a physical frame. Embodiment means that the physical actions of the player are regarded as those of the character. Whereas in a RPG played by a group sitting around a table, players describe the actions of their characters (e.g., "I run to stand beside my friend")"
^ a b (Tychsen 2006:75) "PnP RPGs are an example of interactive narratives. The rules and fictional worlds that form the basis for these games function as a vessel for collaborative, interactive storytelling. This is possibly the most important feature of PnP RPGs, and one that CRPGs have yet to reproduce."
^ (Heliö 2004) "In the family of role-playing games there are also a whole bunch of other game types and game-like activities that can be included or excluded, like the collectible card games (such as Magic: The Gathering) and board and strategy games (like Warhammer 40.000), or different forms of theatrical and larp-like combinations, such as fate-play. The action of role-playing is usually somehow present in these game forms, but the focus can be more either in the competitive nature of the game (MtG, Warhammer), or in the immersive performance (as in fate-play), than in role-playing itself."
^ (Heliö 2004) "Still, we must note that there is no actual story in the game of the role-playing game, though there are events, characters and structures of narrativity giving the players the basis for interpreting it as a narrative. We have many partially open structures that we may fulfil with our imagination during the course of the game – within its limitations. We also have the ability to follow different kinds of narrative premises and structures as well as imitate them for ourselves to create more authentic and suitable narrative experiences. We have the 'narrative desire' to make pieces we interpret to relate to each other fit in, to construct the plot from recurring and parallel elements."
^ (Tychsen 2006:77) "In PnP RPGs, the general game process consists of information-feedback cycles between the players and the GM, or internally within the group."
^ (Tychsen 2006:78–79) "The GM assumes a variety of responsibilities in PnP RPGs, depending on the playing style used, however, these normally include facilitation of game flow and game story, providing environmental content of the fictional reality, as well as administrating rules and arbitrating conflicts. ... In RPGs, the rules specify a great deal more than how pieces are moved on a game board. Because these games are focused on player characters, the rules are designed to govern the nature of these story protagonists and the fictional reality they act in. ... Note that the rules systems in PnP RPGs can be modified or ignored on the fly by the GM or players if so desired."
^ (Copier 2005:3) "...fantasy role-playing as a commercial product was developed in the 1970s as Dungeons and Dragons (D&D, 1974) by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. The game was based on a combination of their interests in table-top wargaming and literary fantasy."
^ a b c d "
^ (Heliö 2004) "Naturally, an off-game object does not actually transform into the object it is imagined as being in-game: for instance, if an airplane in the sky becomes a dragon in some larpers' imaginations, it does not actually turn into a dragon – and even the players do not actually think so. The group of players have a common contract stating how to behave in the situation, because they willingly share the game's make-believe world. In order to sustain the agreed immersion, the 'dragon's' airplaneness' should not in any case be directly voiced aloud."
^ (Tychsen et al. 2006:258) "Games range in size from a handful to more than 4,000 players"
^ (Tychsen et al. 2005:218) "[The LARP GM is] forced to let go of the game and let it take on a life of its own outside his or her control. While based on similar principles, the requirements [are] therefore very different in practice from GMs in PnP RPGs... The GM is generally, unless the LARP is small in terms of number of participants, not responsible for keeping the narrative flow. The GM can however oversee the progress of the game and help or influence where needed... Establishing a hierarchy of GMs and NPCs to monitor the game and ensure everyone is entertained and activated within the shared game space is a typical way of controlling large fantasy LARPS. This structure is usually established before the game commences."
^ (Tychsen 2006:75) "A major source of inspiration of computer games of all genres is role playing games. Being of a somewhat similar age as computer games, Pen and Paper Role Playing Games (PnP RPGs), a specialized form of table-top games (TTGs) involving multiple participants interacting in a fictional world, have influenced not only the Computer Role Playing Game (CRPG) genre [6], but virtually all types of computer games..."

^ (Tychsen 2005:218) "CRPGs can be separated into single- and multiplayer categories..."
^ (Heliö 2004) "Even if a game does not support active role-playing, as most of the massive multi-player online role-playing games fail to do (Dark Age of Camelot and others), experienced role-players may adopt the mindset and take advantage of the game's communication functionalities, and start to role-play. This, however, requires the willing support or at least acceptance of the other players – any one of us can act like a prince, but if the others won't play along, it does not constitute role-playing."
^ (Tychsen et al. 2005:215-216) "The areas for which a GM can be responsible, regardless of the game platform (PnP RPG, LARP, CRPG or MMOG), vary not only internally in games from each platform but also across platforms. A GM in a MMOG generally has different responsibilities than a GM in a PnP RPG. These differences can be related to a limited number of variables, such as the media of expression. The full range of possible responsibilities of GMs can be subdivided into the following five categories, which also cover the functions of automated storytelling engines: [Narrative flow, Rules, Engagement, Environment, Virtual world:]"
^ (Tychsen et al. 2006:255) "In a computer RPG, the role of the GM is taken on (with varying degrees of success) by software."
^ (Tychsen et al. 2005:218) "CRPGs can be separated into ... those few who have incorporated a GM toolkit instead of a fully automated storytelling engine. ... In PnP RPGs and LARPs all lines of normal human communication are available: Speech, Emotion and Body Language (Figure 3). In CRPGs and MMOGs, they become narrowed down due to technical limitations, albeit with the added feature of Scripting as a means of communications. Additionally, contemporary game engines do not allow for on-the-fly updating of the game world and generation of new content in reaction to the actions of the player-controlled avatars (or characters in PnP RPG terminology)."
^ (Tychsen et al. 2005:216) "The environment needs to be filled out with non-player controlled characters (NPCs)

STEM4Innovation – A Western Australian journey into connected STEM education.
In March 2020, the reality of the global COVID-19 emergency became manifest in Western Australia. The experience of school closures, work from home, social and physical distancing, and the rapid adoption of online learning and teaching practices were suddenly part of every citizen's life.
A small team of educators, already focused on developing rich community-linked challenge-based learning, took the opportunity to pivot around the type of learner engagement and sought to enable students in Western Australian schools to make tangible contributions to WA's COVID-19 responses.
While excursions and work placements were temporarily suspended, they picked up on the invitation of the WA State Government and Public Sector Commission to contribute ideas via the iThink platform for more effective responses to the immediate demands of COVID-19 impacts, and the longer term mitigation and recovery processes.
STEM4Innovation was the label we applied to the idea and we challenged the WA Innovation Hub to draw upon the untapped potential of WA's young people. The original post was:
"To generate authentic learning experiences for WA school students to apply STEM-inspired, curriculum-linked, design-thinking processes to solving real-world problems relating to the immediate and future impacts of COVID-19 and other community related needs in Western Australia."
This simple idea caught the imagination of the users, and organisers, of the iThink platform. It quickly became the most discussed and most voted idea across the entire platform. These unprecedented levels of interest initiated discussions with several key figures in the WA Innovation Hub – what emerged was a collaboration with Professor Fiona Wood to explore solutions to the broad challenges facing surgeons and hospital staff in WA's health system. Within weeks, after expressions of interest from more than 60 schools around WA, 22 schools and over 700 students embarked upon designing solutions for the challenges described by Prof. Wood in the one hour Zoom tour of her operating theatre at Fiona Stanley Hospital. In the first week of the second term of the school year, John Curtin College of the Arts hosted the STEM4Innovation showcase where 12 teams presented ideas in response to Prof Woods challenges. Students as young as 12 were investigating and designing solutions that had the potential to positively impact medical practices.
The program has begun to scale in 2021. There are now six thematic tracks supporting a wider range of engagement and enhancing positive global connections for young people. For more information see http://stem4innovation.org

Monica Denise Brown (born October 24, 1980), professionally known as Monica, is an American R&B recording artist and entertainer. Born and raised in College Park, Georgia, Monica began performing as a child and became part of a traveling gospel choir, by the time she was ten.
Originally signed to the Rowdy label, Monica's debut studio album, "Miss Thang," was released in 1995. Its first two singles "Don't Take It Personal" and "Before You Walk out of My Life" made her the youngest recording act to ever have two consecutive #1 hits on the Billboard Top R&B Singles chart.
Her second album "The Boy Is Mine" was released in 1998 and spawned five singles, including the #1 hits "The Boy Is Mine," "The First Night" and "Angel of Mine" the Dallas Austin-penned "Street Symphony" and the international single "Right Here Waiting." The album debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart in August 1998. It earned Monica three Grammy Award nominations for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group, Best R&B Song and Record of the Year. "The Boy Is Mine" was certified triple platinum by the RIAA
After a label switch to J Records, in 2002 Monica released her third album "All Eyez on Me" in Japan only, featuring production by Dallas Austin, Bryan Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins, and Soulshock & Karlin among others. In 2003 a retooled version of "All Eyez on Me," entitled, "After the Storm" was released. The album became the singer's first album to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 and its single "So Gone" became Monica's biggest-selling single in years.
Her fifth studio album, "The Makings of Me," was released in 2006 and reached the top of the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and #8 on the Billboard 200. The lead album's first single, "Everytime tha Beat Drop" peaked at #48 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Monica's least successful lead single since 2002's "All Eyez on Me."
The recording of Monica's sixth studio album, 2010's "Still Standing" was chronicled by her BET reality series of the same name. It spawned her biggest-charting single in seven years, "Everything to Me," her sixth #1 hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The second single, "Love All Over Me" was a Top 10 hit on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The mousepad has capability to charge both phones and mouse, depending on the compatibility. Besides delivering a charging capacity of 75%, the mousepad features a temperature control technology which shuts off charging once the phone is fully charged. An inbuilt chip in the mousepad also renders that it's capable of recognising whether the device put on it is rechargeable. Xiaomi has claimed that the mousepad will be able to charge the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, one of the few phones in the market which currently supports Qi wireless charging standard.
To change the lighting mode on the Mi Smart Mouse Pad, the device offers an aluminium alloy knob on the top right side. While rotating it, users can change the colours and choose from 16.8 million choices. Also, the device pairs with a computer via Bluetooth, using which users will be able to control the volume.
Xiaomi has also claimed that the coating on the Mi Smart Mouse Pad will offer a smoother surface to the users, which will also be more accurate. The mouse-pad measures 420x260mm in dimension, and it also has an option of anti-slip TPU mat. On Xiaomi's YouPin e-commerce site, the device is available for CNY 259 (approx. Rs 2,700).
The next accessory, which is the Mi Mouse Pad has been developed keeping gamers in mind. This mousepad promises improved sensor performance and mouse speed tracking. To avoid shaking during use, the device also comes with a suction cup to hold it in one place. In dimensions, the mousepad measures 355x255x2.35mm and weighs 196 grams. On the Xiaomi YouPin site, this mousepad is available at a starting price of CNY 49 (approx. Rs 500).

Accounting inquisition takes centre stage in IT
George A. Chidi Jr
IT managers aren't supposed to be financial analysts. In the wake of the collapse of energy giant Enron Corp., however, the revelations of financial problems and accusations of accounting irregularities at some IT vendors are forcing technology executives to take a harder look at the financial health of their suppliers.
It's not enough anymore to just know technology when there is growing fear that some of the biggest vendors may not be as financially healthy as they claim to be. No one wants to get stuck with products from a supplier that has gone out of business.
Stoking these fears are recently revealed probes into the finances of software maker Computer Associates International Inc. (CA) and bankrupt telecommunication services provider Global Crossing Holdings Ltd. Accounting practices also have come under scrutiny at companies including EMC Corp., Enterasys Networks Inc., Qwest Communications International Inc., Qualcomm Inc., IBM Corp., and Microsoft Corp.
Skepticism about accounting practices also has crossed the Atlantic, after the bankruptcy of former up-and-coming Belgium-based star Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products NV, which allegedly booked about US$100 million in business to fictitious Asian customers.
In one of the more high-profile cases, CA recently learned that it's under investigation by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. While details of the probes are still secret, several class-action lawsuits filed recently by disgruntled shareholders have accused the company of using complex financial reporting to mask the fact that its flagship product is not selling well.
The lawsuits allege among other things that CA has inflated revenue for its flagship Unicenter enterprise management software.
CA bundles free or heavily discounted copies of the software with sales of its mainframe software, then counts some of the revenue from the mainframe software sales to the Unicenter line, according to the lawsuits. CA maintains that it has accounted for all of its sales in line with the U.S.'s GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).
The rash of allegations have sent CA's share price tumbling to levels not seen in nearly a decade.
"No company is receiving the benefit of doubt anymore. The market is shooting first and asking questions later," said Sanjay Kumar, Computer Associates' president and chief executive officer, in a conference call defending his company from accounting allegations.
Given the heart-stopping speed of decline and fall in so many technology companies in the past two years, investors have justification for bailing out early. Customers have the same reasons to be nervous.
For example, in April 2001, Memorial Health Services Inc. had a crisis on its hands when the Southern California hospital chain lost its Internet and managed security services provider, Pilot Network Services Inc. Pilot declared bankruptcy and shut down at the speed of a spontaneous combustion.
"They were on our internal watch list," said Scott Cebula, vice-president of information services for Memorial Health. "We had plans in place to switch," he said. However, with the speed of Pilot's collapse (layoffs in the previous month, then a no-notice shutdown), "We essentially had to do a crash transition."
There were warning signs. Pilot's chief financial officer resigned in October of 2000, three weeks after taking the job. Pilot then announced a review of its revenue recognition policies, and said it wouldn't make its earnings projections for the next quarter. Its stock instantly lost three-quarters of its value. A few weeks later, Pilot restated US$425,000 in earnings.
"The big lesson learned was to keep a critical eye on our vendors' financial performance," Cebula said. "If a vendor is critical to your operation, you have to be prepared if they fail or there is a service disruption."
Flameouts of other service providers like NorthPoint Communications Group Inc. and Excite@Home Inc. made casualties of many of their customers. In the largest telecom failure of all time and the fourth largest bankruptcy in U.S. history, Global Crossing filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Jan. 28. After raising billions in stock offerings and bond sales to build an international fibre-optic network, the company found itself loaded with debt and customer demand waning.
A former financial executive accused the company of improperly inflating its revenue through "capacity swaps." In an improper swap, one carrier buys fiber-optic capacity from a customer to whom it would then sell nearly equal capacity. Though neither company is better off, either could report the sales as revenue and the purchases as a capital expenditure and not an operating cost. The SEC is looking into the allegations against Global Crossing.
All this had been academic for customers of Global Crossing so far, but on Friday the company announced layoffs of 1,600 workers in addition to the 800 that left voluntarily as part of restructuring plans. Global Crossing also said it would make a range of program cuts and narrow its service offerings, without elaborating on what programs and services. In their quest to preserve what money remains in Global Crossing's bank accounts, bondholders may try force the company to shut down operations, as has happened at other service providers.
Customers probably would have liked to have known about these financial risks before signing on with the carrier. Their defense against unknown risks come from senior executives lending their financial expertise to IT buying decisions.
Chief financial officers and even chief executive officers have been getting more involved in the purchasing process at least since the technology business shakeout started almost two years ago, and in many cases long before that, said Mark Winther, a telecommunciation analyst from IDC.
"Anybody who is going to make a decision about services is taking a much closer look at the balance sheet of the vendors," Winther said. "What is happening is that the purchasing process involves the CFO, particularly in midsize and large businesses," he said.
U.S. investment analysts have traditionally looked for steady quarterly revenue growth, but wary industry insiders say the dot-com bubble increased the pressure, pushing some vendors toward questionable sales and accounting tactics.
"I think the dot-com furor made a lot of raised expectations," said William J. Eline, vice-president for information technology at Parker Hannifin Corp., a motion-control technology manufacturer that makes parts for aircraft, robots and industrial controls. "A lot of bad decisions were made because of those raised expectations."
Bad decisions were made by sales people looking to boost revenue, and by customers listening to those sales people.
"What would really help would be if the hype level dropped just a bit, so that marketing noise didn't clutter the marketplace," Eline said.
Meanwhile, some big accounting firms are scrambling to address real and perceived conflict of interest problems caused by their practice of providing nonaudit consulting services — which often involve IT projects — to clients they audit. The concern here is that accounting firms will go easy on these types of clients during the auditing process in order to avoid upsetting them and losing the nonaudit contracts.
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu announced in February it will separate its Deloitte Consulting unit. In January, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP made a similar announcement when it said it would spin off PwC Consulting via an IPO. Arthur Andersen LLP has also addressed the issue, saying in a February statement that it will "no longer accept assignments from publicly traded U.S. audit clients for the design and implementation of financial information systems."
The two other Big Five accounting firms had already separated their consulting units before the Enron situation. Ernst & Young sold its IT consulting services unit to Cap Gemini in 2000, while KPMG LLP spun off its consulting business into an independent company called KPMG Consulting Inc. which went public in February 2000.
More than the collapse of the dot-com bubble, more than Sept. 11 effect, the basic fear that companies may simply lie in order to stay afloat will drive investment even farther away from technology companies, limiting the kinds of new hardware, software and especially telecom services that might otherwise have a chance to emerge, analysts say.
The iconic image of accountants — bow tied, bowler hatted and boring — is sharply different from that of the fast-talking, Armani-clad marketer, but the professions are two sides of the same golden corporate coin. Marketers tout the value of a company and its products. Accountants give proof for the claims. Or they should.
"For Global Crossing, it's really an unbelievable story," said Vik Grover, wireline telecom analyst for Kaufman Bros. LP. "But it's not just technology. It's everything. It's Enron," he said.
"It's a tragedy, what's happening on Wall Street," he said. "I think that it's bad right now that there's no money for innovation, so you're left to rely on these old, bloated monopoly companies," he said. "If we're relying on the regional Bells and the cable companies for innovation, we're in trouble."

CORRADO FIRERA January 10, 2022	No Comments
Born on April 2, 1948, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, Sophie de Menthon (Turpin by her maiden name) is president of the ETHIC movement. The daughter of a diplomat father at the UN and a mother who is a former student at Sciences Po, she created her first company at only 22 years old!
A born entrepreneur and associative activist!
Precocious, Sophie de Menton created her first company, a telemarketing company, Multilignes Conseil, at only 22 years old! In 1993, the Téléperformance group became its majority shareholder. Today, she is president of the Société de management des entreprises (SDME), a publishing and communications company created in 2004. In 1979, she founded the Syndicat du marketing Téléphonique, of which she was president for 7 mandates. She is also the author of the code of ethics that governs this profession in France and in several other European countries. She also negotiated a collective agreement for the profession.

In 1992, together with Alain Madelin, she launched "Idées – Actions", for civil society to express itself. In the same dynamic, she is keen to instill a new ethic in capitalism, and thus invests in the Mouvement des Entreprises de Taille Humaine, Indépendante et de Croissance (ETHIC). She has chaired this movement founded by Yvon Gattaz in 1976 since 1995.
In 1997 and 2000, she was appointed to the National Council for Business Creation, then to the Observatory of Parity in 2002, and to the Orientation Council for Administrative Simplification in 2004. In the meantime, in 2003, she participated in the Stasi commission on secularism in France, and also in the Novelli report on the consequences of the 35-hour work week in 2004. In 2008, she was questioned by the Stoléru mission for SME access to public contracts.
"Changing capitalism"
Sophie de Menthon, executive, is involved with all her strength to change capitalism, which is why she has chaired ETHIC since 1995. That said, on April 9, 2009, she resigned from the ethics committee of the MEDEF, because she felt out of step with the employers' movement, particularly on the reflection led by Laurence Parisot on the drift of the remunerations of bosses.
A year later, in 2010, she was appointed to the CESE (Economic, Social and Environmental Council) by the President of the Republic, as a qualified personality, for a term that will last until 2015. At the same time, she became a member of the Observatoire Français des Conjonctures Economiques at the OFCE for a 5-year term.
sophie-de-menthon-stephane-alaux
A few years earlier, in 2003 to be precise, Mme de Menthon launched the "Fête des Entreprises", under the slogan "I love my company". The purpose of this day is to unite entrepreneurs and employees by sharing moments of conviviality. Since then, the day is renewed every year in October, and thanks to it, the well-being and fulfillment of employees are recognized today as real levers of business performance.
In 2007, Sophie de Menthon was admitted to the citizen reserve with the rank of Colonel and attached to the National Gendarmerie's officer corps. Three years later, in 2010, she announced her candidacy for the presidency of the MEDEF at the microphone of Europe 1. Her main motivation is to put an end to the amalgam that is then made between big bosses and heads of small and medium-sized enterprises, against the backdrop of the deterioration of the image of bosses in 2009 after the economic and financial crisis.
The first edition of the "ETHIC FIRST" congress
The first edition of the "ETHIC FIRST" congress was held at the Palais des Nations Unies in Geneva on July 2 and 3, 2009, at the initiative of Madam Sophie de Menthon. This first event, organized under the theme "Corporate Social Responsibility in times of economic crisis", brought together 512 accredited participants, including executives, managers, international experts, academics, NGOs and international institutions, from 23 countries.
Following this ETHIC FIRST congress, in 2011, Xavier Bertrand, then Minister of Labor, Employment and Health, entrusted Sophie de Menthon with a mission on Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSR). The mission resulted in a report, in addition to 20,000 copies of a CSR roadmap, including an illustrated practical guide specially designed for SMEs.

Continuing on the same momentum, she wanted to present 20 emergency measures to be taken by the new President of the Republic in 2012. The same year, she was appointed to the Orientation Council of NOVANCIA, and became a Member of the Board of Directors of the company "JUSTE A TEMPS". Also in 2012, on November 19 to be precise, Sophie de Menthon received the Valmy Prize, awarded by the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, and which dedicated her book "the army", in the collection of children's books "the world of today explained to children".
This will not be the only award received by Sophie de Menthon as an author… On November 6, 2017, she received the CSR Jury's Grand Prize at the 30th IREF competition.
A successful career in the media
Sophie de Menthon was a columnist on the program "Les Grandes Gueules" on RMC from 2004 to 2013. She was also a columnist on LCI in the program "Le grand soir", presented by Julien Arnaud, from 2017 to 2018. Still today, she regularly intervenes on SUD RADIO in the program "debate of experts". She also intervenes on France INFO in the program "Les informés", on CNEWS in the program "L'heure des Pro", and in "Morandini Live", presented by Jean-Marc Morandini.
From 2013 to 2018, Sophie de Menthon was a weekly columnist in the magazine and website of Valeurs Actuelles. Since 2018, she writes an opinion piece, also weekly, for the Challenges website, and regularly publishes for the Atlantico website. This goes somewhat hand in hand with her activity as Collection Director at Editions Eyrolles, a position she has held since the year 2000.
Sophie de Menthon, the author
Sophie de Menthon is a prolific author to say the least. In 2018, she published a book entitled "Eternal recommencement…" at Editions Fortuna, where she takes up and comments on 100 famous quotes. However, this book was preceded by several other works:

What a lame review. Walter Becker was never Steely Dan's guitar star...they left that to hired guns like Larry Carlton and Rick Derringer, among other 6 string virtuosos. He was never their key vocalist either, but there's nothing wrong with letting him do one song in concert. Becker co-wrote all of Dan's classic material with Donald Fagen, playing bass and occasional guitar on their albums. That's good enough for this Steely fan.

"China's GDP rose 6.8 percent year-on-year in the first half of 2018, staying within the 6.7-6.9 percent range for 12 consecutive quarters. This fully demonstrates the strong resilience and inherent stability of China's economic development, and provides a solid foundation to tackle various risks and challenges," said Yan Pengcheng, a spokesperson for the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
China has expressed confidence in achieving high-quality growth at a recent meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and the optimism is also shared by international organizations and scholars.
China's economy continues to perform well and is in a good shape, thanks to China's strategy on decisively shifting the focus of policy from high-speed to high-quality growth, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Major macro-control indicators are within a reasonable range, and the economy is running soundly, with stable growth, moderate prices, a good employment rate, and relatively stable balance of payments.
The contribution rate of the service industry to economic growth reached 60.5% in the first half of 2018, thanks to continuous optimization of the economic structure, and the contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth reached 78.5%.
Meanwhile, preventive measures put in place to control financial risks have achieved some results, changing social expectations for the better and further improving the ecological environment, thus enhancing people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.
China has a number of advantages, including institutional mechanisms to pool resources to solve major problems, the strengths of the country's manufacturing power, and the innovation and wisdom of the Chinese people, all of which provide China's economy with upward growth tendency, according to Chen Fengying, a researcher at the Chinese Institutes of Contemporary International Relations.
"We can rest assured that China's economy will continue to grow," Chen said.


The main motivation for this project was to help lower the immense expenses for finding stable and efficient configurations in turbine and compressor design. To this end, we developed a very fast optimization software for one of the cornerstones of that job, which is the so called S1-streamsurface blading. The software helps finding quasi-3D-dimensional blade shapes promising stability and efficiency over the full presumed working range of the blade. At the same time, constraints arising from aerodynamic, heat transfer, aeromechanical, mechanical and manufacturing considerations are satisfied.
This project (performed from summer 1996 to summer 1999) has been joint work with Volker Schulz. It has been funded by ABB Power Generation Ltd, Baden, Switzerland, MTU Motoren und Turbinen Union GmbH, Munich and the German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology (BMBF) under grant number 032741A within the German research effort «Arbeitsgemeinschaft Hochtemperatur-Gasturbine».

High quality ingredient with abundant beneficial nutrients
Beef in dog food
In pet food, beef can be used as a fresh meat (fresh beef, deboned beef, freshly prepared beef) or as a pre-prepared, dry meat meal (beef meal, dried beef, dehydrated beef). When the ingredient is listed simply as 'beef' it usually refers to the fresh form.
Although the quality of beef used in pet foods can vary, it is generally regarded as a highly digestible, highly palatable meat source for dogs. In the past, some pet food manufacturers had labelled beef as a problematic meat for dogs but solid evidence is hard to come by.
Red meats like beef do, however, contain higher levels of cholesterol which should be kept to a minimum if your dog has a history of health problems. Red meats also contain higher levels of purines and other minerals (especially in the 'meal' form due to the higher bone content) which are best avoided in dogs with urinary conditions.

Todd's Story
In the years immediately after the Civil War, my great-grandfather, his brother, and their father took a ship from Malmo, Sweden, for North America, hoping to start a new life. The ship, intended to land in New York, first landed in Canada, because of bad weather. In Canada, Swedish-speaking men boarded the vessel and offered the men good jobs in Virginia. They were promised good accommodations and their food in exchange for farm labor. Many on the ship accepted the offer and sailed to Norfolk, Virginia.
When they landed, they were taken by the Swedes—who had offered them work—to plantations. They signed work papers printed in English but did not understand that they were agreeing to work for two years before they could leave. The good accommodations turned out to be the quarters where former slaves had lived. The food they were given was terrible—wormy salted pork and flour and cornmeal filled with bugs.
Once they discovered how horrible the conditions were, they tried to leave but were forcibly kept on the plantation. After several unsuccessful attempts to leave, they managed to escape and made their way to Richmond, Virginia. In Richmond, they went to a church, and although they spoke no English, they were able to explain their predicament to the church pastor. Their original plan, when they left Sweden, had been to come to the United States and join relatives who had earlier immigrated to Indianapolis.
Once they had somehow explained their story without the benefit of English, the pastor loaned them $50, which they later repaid. It was enough money to pay for their transportation to Indianapolis, where they joined their relatives. My grandmother told me this story. She heard it from her father, who was one of the two brothers.
Other stories she told me concerned the hardships of life in Minnesota, where the family settled. Plagues of grasshoppers, the deaths of brothers and sisters from diphtheria and tuberculosis, and house and barn fires that destroyed their possessions were all described to me in great detail as a child. Life became better for the family when they moved to California around 1905. However, as farmers, life was always hard, especially during the 1920s and the Great Depression.
My grandmother lived to be nearly 90 years old. She was a wonderful woman, but her stories about her life were always about the difficult times. Life finally became better for her and many other farmers during and after World War II.

After performing marathon "isolation dance parties" for 100,000 guests on Instagram Live last weekend, DJ D-Nice admitted to Page Six, "To be honest with you, I'm a little tired! I did like back-to-back nine-hour shifts," followed by mere five-hour and six-hour sets.
"I'm like, 'My back is hurting, I just really need to lay back and chill.' What am I supposed to do? I stand up for nine hours tappin' my foot." But the DJ — whose Instagram following jumped from 200,000 to 1.7 million since his so-called Homeschool at Club Quarantine act debuted — doesn't seem to be slowing.
He teamed with Spotify on a playlist this week, hosted a Club Quarantine voter registration party with Michelle Obama, and did a live talk with Ne-Yo. The virtual club's been packed with endless VIPs from
Rihanna to Mark Zuckerberg. CAA even sent him sushi for sustenance.
He told us the idea began because he was lonely while isolating and missed crowds. At first, "It wasn't many of us … it was kind of floating around 200. The next day it started to grow … Naomi Campbell was the one that was telling people."

Paradigm Shift From Industrial to Knowledge City
In 2017, the idea has come to the fore that there has been a shift towards a knowledge/creative class, and the new method of production is knowledge. Recently, the subject featured large at the 2017 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
Cities that have developed lately into strong knowledge economies are considered to have had seeds decades ago in investment in education.
The new drivers of competitiveness of cities: No power losses, evolution and dynamics of the city's economy, higher disposable income, personal wealth, and high technologies.
According to Roberto dos Reis Alvarez, Executive Director, Global Federation of Competitiveness Councils, who spoke at SPIEF on these ideas, "First, the Seamless City. Cities should operate in a way that we are not wasting energy-created heat, but just light. A second key idea ... was really about evolution. And how could cities be adaptive to ... all these transformations... A third conversation was about the Wellcity, this is really about wellness at the personal level. ... And finally, this concept of the free city."
Russia's place in the future knowledge economy was highlighted by Alexey Kudrin, Chairman of the Board, Center for Strategic Research Foundation: "By 2025, 60% of the world's GDP will be produced in 600 major cities. ... In Russia, only two cities – Moscow and St. Petersburg – can somehow take part in this global competition. The first two cities produce 27% of Russia's GDP; it is 13% in the US and 9% in Europe."
The speakers talked about building new cities, but with modern technology, because current infrastructure is lagging behind tech. "When Russia will create ... large cities and agglomerations which will become the hubs bringing together technology and intellectual potential, social capital and quality of life, it is only then that it will be competitive on a global scale," said Kudrin. "Those 15 cities with a population of more than a million people, and another five cities that would be able to gather more than a million people around taking the agglomeration into account, should receive special support and, perhaps, a special status,"
The goal of these new cities is one that would require special civil workers, another speaker noted. "There is a need to have such a mayor who would have his own vision of the future and would be working hard in their position, and for a long time."
And these would also require new transportation -- airports and high-speed railways.

Shingles is a outbreak of a rash – or blisters (usually on 1 side of the body) that may be associated with severe pain. It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After an attack of chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in the nerve tissue. It can then reappear in the form of shingles.
Symptoms of Shingles include burning, shooting pain, itching and tingling on 1 side of the body. The rash and blisters are present from 1-30 days. After the rash, post herhetic neuralgia can occur where there can be mild-severe pain for months to years depending on the person.
Shingles is not contagious, per se, however, if someone who has not had chickenpox has direct or indirect contact with the open blisters of someone with shingles, that person can get chickenpox. However, one person cannot give shingles to another person. Since many people have had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine, usually they are not at risk of getting chickexpox from a shingles sufferer.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can be very helpful for shingles, as well as homeopathics and antioxidants. Acupuncture and nutritional, herbal homeopathic therapies help shingles by stimulating the immune system to kill the virus, and by relaeasing endorphins which stop the pain.
Some of the supplements which can be used for shingles include: Long dan Xie Gan Wan, Astra isatis and transfer factor. They are potent antivirals. Zinc, Evening Primrose Oil, krill oil, lipoic acid, St. John's Wort oil, lemon balms, Capsaicin cream, and Echinacea are also natural supplements used for shingles. Hypericum, Ranunculus, Mezerum are potent homeopathics which can be used effectively for Shingles, depending on the patient's symptom presentation.
Some of the western drugs used for Shingles include: Antivirals such as Acyclovir and Valtrex. They can be used if caught in the first 1-2 days. Corticosteroids, Ibuprofen, lidocaine patches, Lyrica, opioids, trycyclic antidepressants such as Amytryptylene and anticonvulsants can reduce the pain.
Usually, if patients get acupuncture and herbs their pain is significantly reduced and finally eliminated. Chronic cases of shingles post herpetic pain can be totally resolved effectively with acupuncture and herbs.

Why Tilray, Aurora Cannabis, and Canopy Growth Stocks Just Popped
Investors have some reason to hope that Congress might pass a marijuana legalization bill sooner than previously expected.

CNBC has been reporting on a new bill being drafted by a Republican congresswoman that could advance marijuana legalization at the national level.
Media discussion of this bill has been underway for nearly a week, however.
Time is running out for Congress to make real progress on any cannabis legalization bill before action is complicated by the start of midterm election season.
Marijuana stocks lit up in early Friday trading, with shares of Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) gaining 8.6%, Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:ACB) rising 7.5%, and Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) growing 6.4% through 9:40 a.m. EST.
You can probably thank CNBC for that.
On Friday morning, the business news network reported on the status of a Republican-led cannabis legalization bill that U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina has been preparing to submit to the House of Representatives. As CNBC noted, marijuana "still is very much a macro story for investors." Rather than one marijuana stock or another notably outperforming its peers, more often, they all move up or down en masse based on events and news that relate to the industry as a whole.
For shareholders, this news seems good.
As Marijuana Moment reported last week, Rep. Mace's bill represents Republican buy-in to Democratic efforts to legalize marijuana at the federal level, trading confirmation of "states' rights [to implement stricter controls over marijuana if they wish] and business interests" for an agreement to generally permit the drug to be cultivated, possessed, sold, and consumed. As drafted, the Republican proposal would, among other things:
Legalize and regulate marijuana in a manner similar to how alcohol is regulated.
Set a minimum age of 21 for recreational marijuana use.
And institute a federal tax of 3.75% on cannabis, which would be levied on top of any state taxes.
Now what
This all explains why marijuana investors are getting excited by the first-term congresswoman's proposal. Still, there are a couple of caveats and quibbles to bear in mind.
First and foremost, there's the continued opposition to full legalization from President Biden, though he does support decriminalization and allowing cannabis to be used for medical purposes. As Marijuana Moment points out, "the president is personally against comprehensively ending prohibition," and even if a bill gets through Congress, "whether he'd sign any Democratic- or Republican-led legalization bill is an open question."
Second, we may be looking at a "too little, too late situation" here. As Reuters noted when reporting on the new bill earlier this week, "there are few legislative weeks remaining in this session of the deeply divided Congress." Even if -- against all odds -- everyone in Congress ends up agreeing that marijuana should be legalized, it is "unclear how much lawmakers will be able to get done once the 2022 midterm election campaigns get started early next year."
Long story short, CNBC is reporting today that this is "huge news for a market that was not expecting descheduling ... before midterm elections and ... clearly [it is affecting] the price of cannabis stocks." But if investors are betting on marijuana getting legalized this year, or even next year, they could be in for a rude awakening.

What do football fans do after football is over for the year?
Daira Prieto, Staff Writer
Football season has come to the end and the die hard football fans are devastated. Having nothing to watch on the morning Sundays, not being able to lay back, hang out and enjoy their team or other people's teams play one another.
Americans all around love football season. They make this sport a part of them, like their prized possession. They also love trash talking to their rival, seeing their team fight to the playoffs, hoping their team makes it to the Super Bowl. Many can just love football season for the Super Bowl, for the performances or even for the commercials. Fans that football their life. They rewatch games from the season or watch seasons from two to three years ago. They will also continue the celebration of their team winning a Super Bowl, especially after many years.
Football fans make football a hobby or as must as they are on this earth. Many football fans are left depressed after the seasons are over. People in love with the sport tend to go out and play it with friends, whether it's in person or on someone's console. After the season is over, fans read articles to keep up with a team, see who gets drafted and see what is happening with players, whether new or old. These football lovers would absolutely put anything on the table to have football in their life or make it continue.
