Thaljieh was one of the speakers at WFS Asia and we sat down with her for a small Q&A.
Hi, Honey. The world nowadays moves at a very fast pace, and football has abandoned its "amateur" essence to become one of the most important industries in the world. Have you seen a big change in the football industry in the past few years and the way it has evolved?
Of course! There are a lot of changes happening. Football is moving forward, there's development and we are improving it step-by-step, although there's still a lot of work ahead of us.
When we talk about 2019, there's a lot to do in terms of diversity, inclusion or putting women in leadership positions. I think that we are on the right track and the future will be bright if we have the right leaders and the right organizations caring about the game.
Next month, the 2019 FIFA Women's world cup will take place. The football for women is growing significantly, more than some experts expected. In Spain, a few months ago, there was a match that broke all the attendance records in women's football. What's your opinion about it and how do we keep this trend?
Exactly. FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid Femenino broke the worldwide attendance record when 60,000 spectators attended their game. That sets an example and turns the match into a success case. The following week the Juventus women's team also broke the Italian record with 40,000 spectators. That's what we want to see: more interest and more investment in the game, because, in the end, this affects the whole society and the revenues that come from it benefit and enrich the game itself.
What could clubs or institutions do to make equality happen sooner? Even if we're going in the right direction, there's still a lot to do.
They need to commit and they need to have statutes and regulations. That's the fastest way to make it happen: to have an obligation for it.
It's important that a lot of people talk about equality in the game, about wanting to increase investment and resources in women's football, but it's more important that we see action. Words and slogans are not enough. We need to take steps forward. As I always say, leadership is a series of actions not just a position for glory. It's not just about talking; it's about making it happen.
There are many women footballers in Spain playing in the first division who can't live with the money they make from their clubs. That's a big difference with any male footballer. How do we break that wall?
The women game has had its historical disadvantage since football started because women didn't have opportunities and equality at that time.
Any effort to address this issue must take into account the historical reality so we don't keep falling into the same cycle of not enough pay, not enough interest and not enough investment and its keeps repeating itself
It's important to increase awareness and make sure that we are presenting the case of women's football to the world. If we get good exposure then we get good revenues, then attention from media and sponsors will eventually increase. When the interest increases the money eventually does too. It has to be a collective effort.
Women alone can't fight the fight; we need the men as agents of change because they are currently the decision makers of the game. They need to give opportunities for girls and open doors.
Women in general lack opportunities, whether is on the pitch or off the pitch and that' something I focus a lot on.
Give them opportunities and see the outcome: you will be proud of them. The consequence will be great for everyone, on an economical, social and cultural level. When you empower women you empower all of society.
In the past year, we've seen institutions like FIFA making efforts to give more exposure and attention to women's football. For instance, FIFA is doing a lot of efforts to make this world cup more mainstream and accessible to the public. Why is this happening now?
Part of it is leadership and part of it is that we are at the beginning of a new era. The times are changing. We have leaders now like the Secretary General Fatma Samoura and President Gianni Infantino that understand what needs to be done to move the game forward. As I said, the benefits are for everyone and the outcome is all invested in the beautiful game. It's 2019 and, as in every other industry, the football world is evolving and we have organizations and individuals involved in football who are calling for change.
Moving into a different subject, the Asian football industry has grown tremendously in the past few years and is getting the attention of many of the biggest clubs and leagues in the world. What's the current situation of the Asian football industry?
The Asian football industry is the future as half of the world's population comes from Asia.
The potential is there and the resources too. We need to put a lot of focus on football and what it can do for men and women there. You know, football has a lot of power to influence and bring change in all aspects: cultural, social, political… It brings people together regardless of background, nationality, gender or ethnicity and it has huge potential to use its power in changing the world, whether it is on or off the pitch. Football is the game that everybody loves watching and playing.
Asia has the possibility to increase participation in women's football in countries like China, India or Japan. There's a huge market in Asia and I'm happy that World Football Summit organized the summit in Kuala Lumpur.
If Europe's quite behind in the game's equality, Asia is doing even worse in many countries. What's your message to the Asian girls that want to play football?
My advice to Asian girls: don't be shy to chase your dreams, dream big and work hard to make your dreams come true. Have the courage and believe in yourself; fight for your rights so that they can build a better future. The future is all yours and you will be the ones who will drive change in all aspects. Shoot for the stars and you might land on the moon. The sky is the limit.

Laura We were both book editors, editing series books for teenagers and we were working at a publishing company called Parachute Publishing. They did the R.L. Stein books like Goosebumps.
We met each other there and started working together on some of the series. We were doing plots together, writing outlines, and we realised that it just was much easier to come up with a book plot with each other than it was sitting in a room by yourself, so we started working together.
They couldn't separate us and so they just eventually gave up and left us We were a team. Then we started, maybe six years ago, talking about how we would rather be working for TV. We're huge TV and movie fans.
Mel We thought the kind of plotting that we did would translate really well. Because we were always doing serious book so we would always be doing arcs.
Laura And you'd have a character who contributed over 12 books instead of 12 television episodes, so we thought we'd be good at it. We talked for a long time without doing anything.
Mel That's how it started on its road to TV. It was completely unexpected. That was really the first thing other than a novelisation of an episode of Goosebumps that I'd written. I never thought the first thing I would write would turn into something like this.
Laura No, we wanted to make the change and go and become television writers, but I don't think that we ever thought [the book would be the way in].
Mel No, it didn't really occur to me. It happened really fast. The first book was due maybe like a month after [the TV people became interested]. So I was caught up in finishing the first manuscript, I wasn't really thinking beyond that.
Mel We were going to write spec scripts and try and get an agent, we just hadn't done it yet.
Is working in TV what you expected?
Laura We wrote two television pilots for Regency Pictures and 20th Century Fox and neither of them got picked up, but we did write them and we realised that we were right, we do know how to write.
Mel The great thing about being on staff is, we always felt we knew the plotting and characters part. But we don't really know anything about production so we're really getting a crash course.
Laura This is our first staff job on television and we've been doing it for two and a half months now. So we are complete novices, complete beginners, we don't know how to make a TV show and that's what we are here to learn.
It's just very strange and wonderful that it's on Roswell. We were trying to get a job on any TV show that would have us and we're so happy that we ended up on this one.
Laura It's never occurred to us to compare the books to the show, because it's a very different kind of story telling that you can do in a book versus on television. It needs to be so much more visual obviously on television and also, the books were for children.
Laura Sheriff Valenti is one of the characters that's really different on the TV show versus the books, because in the books he was just pure evil.
Mel The books were for teens, and [in that type of book] you don't usually give the adult characters their full back story.
Valenti felt this way because his father was obsessed with aliens. So he didn't really have much motivation except being bad.
Laura The show reaches an older audience and it's fun to plot for these people as they're getting older.
Mel [There's] a lot of different kind of stories. And [the characters] are already older than they were in the books.
They're really just too different to try and work them back around. It just wouldn't make sense for the show characters, it would be inconsistent for them to start behaving like or experiencing things that the other characters did.
The show is its own thing. We very much follow Jason Katims' vision because he's brilliant and he knows exactly what he wants the show to be.
Mel I also wrote six books between Roswell High, so when we started here my book series of Roswell High was all wrapped up. They got their happy ending and everything. It's over so it's fun to get back into that world but it's different.
Mel It's about a girl who can touch a fingerprint and know the thoughts that the person who left the finger print was having at the moment that they left the print. I think I need a more condensed way of saying that.
At first she thinks she's going crazy, and then she touches a finger print and realises that someone wants to kill her, which is the way the story starts.
Do you think there's TV potential in that one as well?
Mel I don't know. The TV rights did sell but I don't think anything is really happening with it right now.
If there was a spin off from Roswell who would you like to see in it and why?
Laura The joke that we have on staff is that there's the Valenti and son spin off, Valenti and Kyle. They're PI's or something like that.
Mel That's one we always joke around about. Other than that – I personally think that the Crashdown should become a franchise and there should be Crashdown restaurants across Route 66 or something like that, with all the stories that happen in them.
Laura If they have children you could always have the next generation. Roswell, the next generation. That's what we'll do.
What do you see as the main themes of Roswell?
Laura I think its heart is very much in the human elements of it. That that's what Jason [Katims] really responds to and that's where he wants the show to go mostly.
They're aliens but they're also just teenagers, and I think everyone feels like an alien when they're a teenager. He wants to keep it focused on the relationships between the characters and what their emotions are, what their friendships are.
All of this is clearly against a science fiction backdrop but I would say that its actual heart is the romances, especially the Max and Liz romance. They're sort of the Romeo and Juliet and everything is hung on them. One of the episodes in season two, The End of the World, that Jason wrote, it's the perfect balance.
Mel I agree, it's the perfect mix of science fiction and romance.
Laura It works incredibly well on both levels and that's the goal, to have that kind of balance.
What are you working on at the moment on Roswell?
Mel We're focusing a lot on Isabel at the beginning of season three. Isabel's got a new man in her life.
The boy aliens have always been allowed to have girlfriends but poor Isabel's always been very unlucky in love. Now she's finally come into her own and got a real relationship and it will probably get very serious very fast.
Laura The characters have changed a lot over the course of season two. A lot happens to them, and they have to grow up faster than they thought. In season three we're dealing with a whole new level of maturity for all of them.
Mel They're all making big decisions about what they want their lives to be like. At the beginning of season three, you see them in a way that you've never seen them before.
What sort of merchandising would you like to see?
Laura If you look around the Crashdown here there's all kinds of crazy alien merchandise already. It makes me laugh every time I look at a giant alien head filled with lollypops. It's very silly.
Mel They're thinking of doing a soundtrack, which will be great because they have such great music on Roswell.
Laura If we had lunch boxes that would make me thrilled, that would be fun.
What do you think really happened at Roswell?
Laura You know, we've never talked about this.
I believe the weather balloon story really.
Mel I don't know. I spent a few weeks in Roswell when I was first writing the books and it seems most of the locals are dubious. I'm just not sure, I'm undecided.
Laura I like the weather balloon theory because it seems completely believable to me that the government would try to cover up a weather balloon ridiculous spy plan of theirs. That they were covering up a weather balloon is very funny and completely in line with what the military would do.
Mel They made such a huge thing of it, instead of saying "It was a weather balloon to spy on the Soviets".
You don't want to know really, it would be sad if they found it out because you like the mystery so maybe we don't want to know exactly what happened there.
What were your favourites episodes of season two and why?
Laura End of the world. It's one of the first episodes but in my mind it was the one that actually kicked off the season and set the tone for it, it's deeply romantic.
It's a very classic perfect science fiction set-up of your future self coming back to change the actions of yourself in the present tense. It's a great, simple, elegant science fiction construct. What Jason Katims, who wrote the episode, did with it was to take the science fiction construct and put the Romeo and Juliet romance right into the same construct.
So Max comes back from the future and tells Liz "I love you, we're completely meant to be together, we got married, we had this wonderful life together and guess what, you have to stop it from ever happening again. If we get together the world will come to an end".
Literally, what could be the more dire consequences of star cross love?
Mel And [Max] says, "you know you can never tell me because I wouldn't believe you, I wouldn't let you go."
So it's a heartbreaking episode because Liz is put in this horrible position of having to push Max away without being able to tell him why.
Mel ...and the end of the world.
Laura The stakes are high for the planet Earth and also for Max and Liz's romance. It's just this perfect melding of the two, so that's my favourite episode of the whole show so far.
What about A Roswell Christmas Carol appeals to you?
Mel Another episode from season two that we both really loved is the Christmas episode. Because it's very touching with Max healing these kids who have cancer but it's really funny too. Isabel as the Christmas nazi [is very funny].
Laura Isabel is very focused on having the perfect Christmas, and she will have the perfect Christmas no matter what it takes. They all call her the Christmas nazi behind her back, and this is the season that she realises that they consider her to be the Christmas nazi.
Laura ...and they all fall into line and do just what she wants. So, it was very funny and it was a nice use of the aliens' powers. Max has been a healer all along so it was refreshing to get back to that aspect of his personality, that he is this force for good.
But there was also the question of how much should he do. He's not god, should be healing people or shouldn't he? It's a morally ambiguous question for him.
Mel At the beginning of the episode there's a man that he doesn't heal because it would reveal who he was. He's haunted by the thought of this guy, and it brings up the question of if you have the power what are your responsibilities. How do you keep yourself safe and still be a good person?
Will you return to book writing in the future?
Laura I'm much more into the TV and films thing.
I edited books for many years and I've edited hundreds of books and I don't want to write them.
Mel I'm just finishing up the Fingerprint series, I have one left.
I think that some time in the future I would still want to write books. It's so different, you can go into people's thoughts and you don't have to worry about budget.
But I got really lonely being a book writer. I like the collaborative process of being on staff, it's much more suited to my personality. I would like to do TV much more and maybe squeeze in an occasional book once in a while.
Laura J. Burns and Melinda Metz--the editor and author who created the Roswell High series of youth novels--told SCI FI Wire that it's like entering an alternate universe now that they are staff writers on UPN's teen-alien series Roswell, which is based on the books. Writing partners Burns and Metz recently completed their first Roswell script, "A Tale of Two Parties," which finished production the week of Nov. 19 and is slated for a Jan. 1 air date.
The TV show is based on the first of the Roswell High books, but its plot and characters have diverged widely from the book series, the writers said in an interview. "It's sort of that we started in the same places ... and the show went in one direction, and the books went in a different one," Burns said.
Burns added, "The characters are on different paths. The show has always been more adult. ... The books were basically aimed at 10-year-olds. ... So it had to be a much younger voice. And it was very much high school. And the show, the characters have just gone through so much, they're sort of wise beyond their years now and much more mature than your average group of 17- and 18-year-olds, and the stories are much more adult. ... But we love it just as much. We were always big fans of the show."
Burns and Metz's first episode takes place on New Year's Eve. "We knew what kind of feel we wanted--just kind of a fun, fast-paced, bouncing around," Burns said. "There's a party, kind of a secret party. It's like a treasure hunt, and you follow clues. Everybody knows where the first clue is, and that leads you to the next clue, and the next clue that leads you to the party. And this is an annual thing that's legendary, like a rave, just the best party of all time, called Enigma. And what we thought is that we're going to put them on the road to this party, in various groupings, and follow their adventures as they try to find the party."
Metz said she enjoys the collaborative nature of television writing, in which ideas and storylines are developed by a group of writers working together. "That's one of the things that I really like after writing books," Metz said. "I think I'll always like writing books and will always want to do it. But ... I just got tired of being in my apartment all by myself all day. ... I really love it. It's the opposite, but it's still stories. So I get to take that part, which I really love, and combine it with people, which I also love." Roswell airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.


A Victorian company has been fined $30,000 for building an unauthorised cattle feedlot at Warradarge in WA's Mid West.
Kalimpa Park Pty Ltd was convicted in the Perth Magistrate's Court last week for causing a premises to become prescribed without approval, under Section 52 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986.
The court was told Kalimpa started building works for a big cattle feedlot in February 2017.
Kalimpa started to build the feedlot before seeking required approvals from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.
The company was slapped with a $30,000 fine and ordered to pay court costs of $578.70 and $9063 to the State Government in lieu of the costs of a works approval.
In handing down his decision, Magistrate Richard Bayly said this was a serious breach of the Act, with the potential to cause serious environmental problems.
Environment Minister Stephen Dawson said the fine should act as a deterrent to people who dis-regarded the laws in place to protect the environment.
"This conviction and fine should serve as a timely warning to remind companies and other commercial enterprises of their responsibility to operate within the confines of the Environmental Protection Act," he said.
Inspections of the property in July 2017 and November 2017 identified deficiencies in the construction.
This included significant erosion as well as dams and infrastructure built to different dimensions and in different locations to plans previously submitted to the department.


Paying off old debt gives you financial freedom for your future.
Debt is one of the most frightening words in the English language. The idea of making monthly payment after monthly payment is enough to scare off even the most dedicated partner. However, getting out of debt doesn't have to be a horror story. With just a little persistence and dedication, you can pay off old debt before walking down the aisle.
Run your credit. Experian, TransUnion and Equifax are the three credit monitoring agencies that gather and record the financial information that makes up your credit history. Check each report for accuracy, and contact the respective agency if there are any incorrect items on your history.
Make a list of your debts. Include all vehicle loans, student loans and credit cards, and write down how much the payment is on each of them. Knowing how much you currently owe will help you set aside enough money each month to pay them off.
Determine the age of each debt. The statute of limitations on old debt is normally seven years, after which time creditors can no longer pursue legal action against you for the debt, and it should be removed from your credit history.
Contact the old debt holders listed on your credit history to determine the current balance on each account. Send a certified letter to each agency asking how much you owe and explaining that you wish to create a repayment plan to pay off the debt. The creditor is required to send you proof of the debt, including the original debt holder and total balance due. Start with the smallest debt and work your way up to the largest. Ask for a written receipt upon payoff so you have proof that you are no longer in debt.
Pull your credit history again 45 to 60 days after you've paid off your final debt. Each agency is required to report to the credit bureaus that you are paid in full. If there are still negative reports even after you've paid the debts in full, contact the credit bureau yourself with proof of payment.
It may be tempting to just leave old debt alone in hopes it will disappear, but unpaid bills can haunt you for a long time. It is much simpler to stay out of debt than it is to dig yourself out of a huge financial hole.
Contact an attorney if you feel uncomfortable handling old debts alone. Attorneys that specialize in financial matters can help you pull your credit and deal with creditors.
What Can a Consumer Do If Denied Credit?


I've seen both episodes now and the production level is magnificent. This is the type series I like...kinda reminds me of the series I watched last year from HBO, Show Me a Hero.
I cannot see James Gandolfini fitting this role after 2 episodes with Torturro. He is definitely and under rated actor.
I have really been enjoying Stranger a Things, a new Netflix original. It is sci-fi which is not something I generally get into. A style that is a mix between ET and Aliens. Could easily pass for a Spielberg production. Very highly rated on both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, averages above 9 on a 10 scale.
Okay haven't switched my cable over just yet, but have tried a 30 day Netflix trial. Yeah pretty sure I'm gonna keep it. Been catching up on 'Spartacus' recently.
At the risk of being cliche, anyone watch Netflix's Stranger Things? I was about the age of the boys in the show in '83 and... damn. Brought back a lot of nostalgic memories.
I binged it and really enjoyed it. Spielberg-esqe.
Have you seen the viewer ratings? 9.2 on IMDB & 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.
No, hadn't seen the scores, that's awesome. My boss recommended it, and can be a little bit of a hipster so I was a little nervous but the wife and loved it.
I gotta say I really appreciated the 80's feel included in everything about Stranger Things. The series? Meh...I probably won't watch another season. It wasn't "bad", just not anymore I can see I would enjoy out of it.
I just finished it too and kind of felt the same way. I may try the second season, but the story line didn't totally grab me. It did feel like a Dean Koontz novel though.
I'm planning on trying Stranger Things myself.
As someone who was a boy almost exactly the same age as those kids in 83, I LOVED it. Man, lots of nostalgia. Can't count the number of hours we spent roaming around on bikes, dreaming up adventures, etc.
The plot line was fine, nothing special. But I really enjoyed the blast of nostalgia.
Finished Stranger Things, I felt it was a good show, I don't understand the 5 star netflix rating and critics going bonkers over it though. Had a great 80's feel, a plot that was enticing enough to keep watching but I didn't finish it with a "WOW" factor. Seemed slow to develop imo, character development minus the chief seemed lacking. I found the casting to be excellent overall, I did read season 2 is in production so I'll watch because while not a great show, it was a good show and those are severely lacking.
Dunno whose watched Shameless but since it hit Netflix I went binge watching galore through all 6 seasons, I found the first 3 to be fantastic, 4 to be good and 5 and 6 to start getting so cliche that I barely even care that season 7 just hit showtime. I think one of the issues with shows too often is they lose direction because they didn't think it'd last so long aka "Lost".
On a side note Gotham is back Monday !!!!!!
Anyone else see the premiere of Westworld? Off to a great start - has a lot of layers - I'm already hooked.
Haven't seen it but have it recorded.
Do you, or does anyone have an opinion on "Being Human"? I have it in my Netflix queue for some time when I have it (time) for binge watching.
I was a little ambivalent towards the US version of Being Human, but I loved the UK original. Love love loved it.
Yup, that's the UK version. Give it a watch.

Q: Error Propagation of standard deviation? I have the following problem:
I do measurements with technical triplicates and biological duplicates. So I prepare the same sample two times and measure each one three times.
This gives me an average value of each duplicate with a standard deviation, calculated by the technical triplicates.
E.g. $$0,23 \pm  0,07\ \text{ and }\ 0,20 \pm 14.$$
Now I want to determine the total average and its error. And here I get confused: with the error propagation I can calculate the error for the average
$$\Delta x=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{(Δx_1)^2+(Δx_2)^2}=0,16,$$
but there is also the standard deviation of the two values (~0,014).
I am wondering now, how I can combine both values to the error of the total average. Taking just the error propagation seems wrong to me, especially when the duplicate measurements differ greatly.

A: Your question comes about because you are actually trying to estimate two different quantities and so in general you would expect different answers:
1) The standard deviation of the repeated measurements tells you about the uncertainty just in making the measurement
2) The standard deviation between your replicates tells you about the combined uncertainty in redoing the experiment and in remeasuring the experiment. So if you are after the total error then this is the right quantity.
So from an uncertainty propagation approach this is pretty difficult to treat because you only have two replicates and that's just not enough to estimate a standard deviation reliably (see the reference in point 2 for more information). So you essentially have 3 choices:
1) The measurement uncertainties and the reproducibility are the same for each experiment and so you can estimate it from the entire data set. This is unsatisfying because it's unlikely to be correct.
2) You can use the standard deviation between your replicates but this is going to be very noisy because you only have two data points per experiment. If you want to turn this into a confidence interval you need to use a small sample size correction: http://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/MPH-Modules/BS/BS704_Confidence_Intervals/BS704_Confidence_Intervals_print.html see section: Confidence Intervals for One Sample: Continuous Outcome for n<30 (because in your case n = 2)
3) You can partially pool and assume that the uncertainties are similar between different experiments. For example you can see about how to approach this here: https://jrnold.github.io/bayesian_notes/multilevel-models.html or https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bridgesampling/vignettes/bridgesampling_example_stan.html or https://mc-stan.org/rstanarm/articles/pooling.html or https://mc-stan.org/users/documentation/case-studies/radon.html. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find an example that was what you need (means individually estimated from the data but partial pooling on the uncertainty). But you should be able to use those examples to figure out how to do that.

The aim of this study is to examine the current waqf reporting practices in selected waqf institution in Malaysia. For this، the study employs a case study method to analyze intervention of life events which is the waqf reporting practices itself. A focus group discussion method was adopted to collect data from the respondents. For reporting purposes، this study adopted a single-case study method. Findings are analyzed and discussed are been made on current waqf reporting practices under three aspects: (i) waqf governance reporting practices; (ii) waqf performance reporting practices; and (iii) waqf socio-economic impact reporting practices. Based on results، the study highlights a number of good waqf reporting practices by selected waqf institution in Malaysia. However، this study also identified several waqf reporting weaknesses that led for a room of improvement in the future. For that، recommendations to overcome such waqf reporting weaknesses on governance، performance and socio-economic impact aspects are being made based on the findings.
Keywords: Waqf, Waqf reporting, Waqf governance, Waqf Performance, Waqf socio-economic impact.
This study examines the impact of environmental cost on the financial performance of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria from 2008 to 2016. The relationship between environmental cost and financial performance of manufacturing firms in Nigeria was tested using a sample of 126 firm-year observations covering 14 manufacturing firms in the period from 2008 to 2016. The data extracted were analyzed using trend analysis graphs and panel least square method of regression. The study document a positive and significant relationship between Return on Equity (ROE)، employee benefit and staff training. The authors also found a negative and insignificant relationship between Return on Equity (ROE) and donations. The result suggests investment in environmental cost indicates a good return in terms of financial performance. This finding will help eliminate the bias that investment in environmental cost is detrimental to the performance of companies in Nigeria. In the light of the empirical findings، manufacturing firms will gain a better understanding of the status and importance of environmental investment and that environmental investment is not necessary implies decline in financial performance. This implies that firms will report quality environmental issues in their corporate reports in order to benefit users of financial information. Given the important role of the manufacturing sector on the Nigerian economy، this is the first study of its kind investigating the impact of environmental cost on the financial performance among manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study tackles the issue of donation and employee benefits in the context of environmental cost which similar studies were not able to examine.

Earnings management (EM) is the choice of accounting policy by a manager to achieve multiple goals. EM activity can be divided into two types: accrual manipulation activity and real manipulation activity. However، both of these have a major difference: the accrual manipulation does not affect cash flow، whereas real manipulation affects cash flow. Whether misleading or not to the users of financial statements، good or bad for the practice، controversy arises when earnings management is associated with morals / ethics. EM practices are suspected to arise due to agency problems arising from a conflict of interest between the principal and the agent. In accordance with agency theory، the function of the independent auditor can reduce agency problems. A qualified auditor، trusted to provide trust to stakeholders about the performance of management. High-quality auditors are more likely to detect dubious accounting practices. Thus، in the context of research، audit quality is often regarded as an antecedent variable and a variable that can reduce the occurrence of EM practice. Furthermore، the practice of Accrual Earnings Management (AEM) and Real Earnings Management (REM) in some empirical results turns out to be a substitution.
Keywords: Earnings management, agency problem, audit quality.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of company profitability on the relationship between physical asset management and profit sharing strategy. The net physical assets and the ratio of physical assets as asset management indicators and net profit margin is the profitability index of the company. In this research، financial information of 165 companies from the set of companies accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange for the period 2013 to 2017 was used. The hypothesis test was performed using multiple linear regression model. Eviews software was used for this purpose. The results show that the company's profitability has a positive effect on the relationship between physical asset management and profit sharing strategy; therefore، the management of physical assets enables the organization to increase its value through the optimal utilization of all available resources and provide the basis for maximizing profits and returns to investors.
Keywords: Physical assets net, Physical assets ratio, Company profitability, Profit sharing strategy.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between transfer pricing and tax liability in Kenya's cement industry. The dependent variable of tax liability was examined against independent sub-variables namely; business models، thin capitalization، tax haven utilization and intra-company payments. Using longitudinal research design، the study examined relationships between the independent and dependent variables tracked over a 10 year period starting 2005. Out of the 6 companies in the industry، the study targeted 3 companies using purposive sampling on the basis of availability of annual financial statements and affiliation to a multinational company. Quantitative data collected for this study was analyzed by both descriptive and inferential. Data presentation was then done using tables، charts and graphs. Content analysis was used for qualitative data and presentation done in prose form. Correlation and univariate linear regression analysis was done to establish existing relationships between the dependent variable and independent variables of interest. It was concluded that tax paid over the 10-year period had not been affected by business models in existence; thin capitalization practices; tax haven utilization and intracompany payments. This study therefore recommends that the tax authorities should channel resources towards studying and assessing other forms of transfer pricing abuse likely to yield better tax results than the four variables studied herein.
Keywords: Tax liability, Transfer Pricing, Kenya.
Financial management policies are used by organizations as tools for ensuring that their finances are managed in proper manner in all areas of their operations. Lack of implementation of proper management policy exposes NGOs to threats like loss of assets، production of financial reports which are incorrect and unreliable for decision making purposes. This may also lead to application of accounting policies by an organization which are not consistent with the applicable governing laws and regulations. However NGOs that have implemented proper financial management policies are generally known to record improved financial performance. Therefore، the overall objective of this study was to establish the effect of financial planning on financial performance of Non – Governmental Organizations in Nairobi County. The study adopted a descriptive research design. A sample of 45 NGOs was selected from a population of 1،775 NGOs in Nairobi County both local and international. Data was obtained through the use of questionnaires and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Multiple regression analysis results showed that financial planning affects an organization financial performance. The study found out that financial planning has a great effect on financial performance of NGOs hence an important variable that the management of NGOs should not ignore in order to improve on their financial performance. A feedback system should be put in place ensuring corrective measures are taken to enable organizations respond urgently to emerging risks.
Keywords: Financial Performance, Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs), Financial management, policy implimentation.


This August marked my family's fourth year as residents of Beverly, and I can now say that we understand what it means to be in New England in the summer! Whether riding our bicycles to Captain Dusty's for ice cream, searching for sea glass and hermit crabs at our local beach, or making weekly trips to farm stands for all the berries and corn we could eat, we soaked in every last moment of sunshine. The rhythm of summer is liquid and glorious, offering time to reflect, time to enjoy, and time to wonder. I hope you, too, found time to savor your summer in ways, both big and small, that are meaningful to your family.
As Head of School, the first day of school is particularly invigorating: it's a spirited launch of new beginnings, clear direction and myriad hopes and dreams. Teachers return energized with plans and passion to spark dynamic learning in their classrooms, and students burst onto campus greeting cherished friends, meeting new classmates, and imagining a new version of themselves in their next grade level homes. We had so many highlights this week! Our second graders sleuthed their way through the Town Square on a technology-enabled scavenger hunt, and the whole community delighted in Mr. Wilfahrt's School Meeting video retrospective that featured highlights of our time together last year. In addition, the sixth grade practiced using their lockers and schedules to navigate their new responsibilities in Upper School, and seventh and eighth graders worked hard on the turf in their field hockey and soccer teams tryouts. Finally, not only did we have both pizza, burritos and mac and cheese this week, we also had Chef Al's crowd favorite, tomato soup. It's official--school is here!
From all of us on campus, welcome to the new school year at Brookwood. We have a wonderful year of teaching and learning ahead!

Unifying Original Intent and Original Public Meaning
John O. McGinnis
Michael B. Rappaport
Original intent and original public meaning are generally thought to be opposing camps within originalism. Both theories assert that that the meaning of a constitutional provision was fixed at the time it was enacted. But they disagree fundamentally on the nature of interpretation. Original intent asserts that the meaning sought is that intended by the Constitution's enactors. Original public meaning asserts that the meaning sought is that revealed by the text as reasonably understood by a well-informed reader at the time of the provision's enactment.
In this Essay, we unite these two conflicting principles of originalism under the original methods approach to constitutional interpretation, thereby providing a single coherent foundation for originalism. Under original methods, the Constitution is interpreted using the conventional legal interpretive rules deemed applicable to a document of its type at the time it was enacted. As properly understood, both the original intent and original public meaning approaches mandate that the Constitution be interpreted using the same conventional interpretive rules. Under original public meaning, a reasonable and knowledgeable person at the time would interpret the constitutional text by using the rules that were then thought to apply to it. Under original intent, the enactors would have intended the Constitution to be interpreted based on the conventional interpretive rules applied to it at that time.
We further argue that these interpretive rules should be identified using the methods that people at the time would have employed for determining the interpretive rules. Just as constitutional provisions should be interpreted using the interpretive rules employed at the time of the relevant provision's enactment, so too should the interpretive rules be identified based on the methods employed to identify those interpretive rules. We illustrate our approach by exploring the controversy of the Bank of the United States, showing, for instance, that there was a consensus against use of the substantive intent of the Philadelphia Convention as an interpretive rule.

Metallurgical Testing
Corrosion Testing
Engineering Consulting & Metallurgical Services
Miscellaneous Testing
Accredition & Approvals
RAJKOT METLAB SERVICES (RMS) material testing laboratory in RAJKOT, India undertakes a wide range of corrosion and stress corrosion test per ASTM, NACE or BIS. Tests can also be custom tailored to meet an individual client´s requirements.
Senior staff members with specific industry expertise cover a variety of corrosion problems that are encountered in industries such as oil and gas production, oil and gas transmission, energy conversion systems, and nuclear power systems.
A wide variety of corrosion related tests can be undertaken at RAJKOT METLAB SERVICES in India to determine weight loss corrosion, intergranular attack, pitting corrosion, corrosion fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, sulfide stress cracking, and hydrogen-induced cracking.Routine Corrosion tests include:
•	Inter granular Corrosion Test (IGC) per ASTM A262 Practice A B C E & F
•	Pitting Corrosion test as per ASTM G48 Specification
•	Chloride Stress Corrosion Test as per ASTM G36 Specification
•	Corrosion test as per ASTM G35 specification
•	Corrosion test as per ASTM A761 Specification
Intergranular Corrosion Test (IGC) per ASTM A-262
At RMS, several methods exist for the testing of intergranular corrosion. To conduct these tests, we carefully choose a method which is suitable for the steel grade and grain boundary composition to be tested.
Intergranular corrosion in stainless steels may result from precipitation of carbides, nitrides or intermetallic phases. Only in the most highly oxidizing solutions can intergranular attack be caused by intermetallic phases. When a test is to be restricted to carbides, in a material containing nitrides or intermetallic phases, a less oxidizing solution is chosen.
The following tests are carried out by RAJKOT METLAB SERVICES in India as per the ASTM A262 specification.
•	Oxalic Acid Test, ASTM A262, Practice A (Oxalic Acid Etch)
The oxalic acid etch test is a rapid method of screening those specimens of certain stainless steel grades which are essentially free of susceptibility to inter granular attack associated with chromium carbide participates. The test is used for acceptance but not rejection of material.
•	Ferric Sulfate - Sulfuric Acid, ASTM A262 - Practice B (Streicher Test)
This test is based on weight loss determinations and provides a quantitative measure of the relative performance of the material evaluated. The procedure includes subjecting a specimen to a 24 to 120 hour boil in ferric sulfate - 50% sulfuric acid. This procedure measures the susceptibility of stainless steels and nickel alloys to inter granular attack associated with the precipitation of chromium carbides at grain boundaries.
•	Nitric Acid, ASTM A262, Practice C, (Huey Test)
The specimens are boiled for five periods, each of 48 hours, in a 65 per cent solution of nitric acid. The corrosion rate during each boiling period is calculated from the decrease in the weight of the specimens. Properly interpreted, the results can reveal whether or not the steel has been heat-treated in the correct manner. The customer must specify the maximum permissible corrosion rate and, in applicable cases, data on sensibilizing heat treatment.
The Huey test environment is strongly oxidizing, and, is only used as a check on whether the material has been correctly heat treated. This test is suitable for the detection of chromium depleted regions as well as intermetallic precipitations, like sigma phase, in the material. The Huey test is also used for materials that come into contact with strongly oxidising agents, e.g. nitric acid. This procedure may also be used to check the effectiveness of stabilizing elements and of reductions in carbon content in reducing susceptibility to inter granular attack in chromium-nickel stainless steels.
•	Copper - Copper Sulfate - 16% sulfuric acid, ASTM A262 - Practice E (Strauss Test)
This procedure is conducted to determine the susceptibility of austenitic stainless steel to inter granular attack associated with the precipitation of chromium-rich carbides. Once the specimen has been subjected to the solution boil, it is bent through 180° and over a diameter equal to the thickness of the specimen being bent. This test is based on a visual examination of the bent specimen.
•	Copper - Copper Sulfate - 50% sulfuric acid, ASTM A262 - Practice F
This test is based on weight loss determination which provides a quantitative measure of the relative performance of the material evaluated. It measures the susceptibility of "as received" stainless steels to inter granular attack.
Pitting Corrosion Test, ASTM G48 Method B Specification
This Procedure is used to assist in the selection of test methods that can be used in the identification and examination of pits and in the evaluation of pitting corrosion to determine the extent of its effect. ASTM G48 Method B, Ferric Chloride Test involves exposing a specimen to a highly oxidizing acid chloride environment. The importance of this evaluation is to be able to determine the extent of pitting, either in a service application where it is necessary to predict the remaining life in a metal structure, or in laboratory test programs that are used to select the most pitting-resistant materials for service.
Corrosion test as per ASTM G 35 specification
The polythionic acid (sulfurous acid and hydrogen sulfide) environment provides a way of evaluating the resistance of stainless steels and related alloys to inter granular stress corrosion cracking. This practice can be applied to wrought products, castings, weld metal of stainless steels or other materials to be used in environments containing sulfur or sulfides.

Amanda Bynes' request to be released from her involuntary psychiatric hold has been denied by a judge.
Amanda Bynes' bid to be released from her involuntary psychiatric hold has been denied.
The 27-year-old actress was placed under the hold last month after being arrested for starting a small fire outside a stranger's home, and a judge has denied her motion to be released and ruled she must remain at the facility in Los Angeles until 9 August, according to gossip website RadarOnline.
It was also said Amanda isn't stable on her medication and needs to remain under medical supervision.
The Easy A star, who retired from acting to focus on carving out a career in music, has been displaying signs she's suffering from mental illness since she was taken into police custody.
An insider previously revealed Amanda's parents, Lynn and Rick, believe she's a danger to herself and are hoping to secure a conservatorship that would give them legal control over the actress until she gets her life back on track.
Amanda was arrested and admitted to hospital after using a canister of gasoline to light a fire in a woman's driveway in Thousand Oaks, California.
She accidentally also soaked her Pomeranian puppy in gasoline and a surveillance video showed her rushing into a nearby liquor store to wash the pet.
The dog is now in the care of her parents.

The effect of four soil-applied sulfur (100 mg S kg−1 soil (100S) and 200 mg S kg−1 soil (200S)) in different sources (elemental S, ammonium sulfate, gypsum or magnesium sulfate) in protecting mustard (Brassica juncea L. (Czern & Coss.)) from cadmium effects was studied. Based on the observed reduction in growth and photosynthesis in plants subjected to 100 and 200 mg Cd kg−1 soil, B. juncea cv. Giriraj was selected as the most Cd-tolerant among five cultivars (namely, Giriraj, RH0749, Pusa Agrani, RH-406, and Pusa Tarak). Sulfur applied to soil mitigated the negative impact of Cd on sulfur assimilation, cell viability, and photosynthetic functions, with a lower lipid peroxidation, electrolyte leakage, and contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS: hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, and superoxide anion, O2•−). Generally, added S caused higher activity of antioxidant enzymes (ascorbate peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase), contents of ascorbate (AsA) and reduced glutathione (GSH); increases in the activities of their regenerating enzymes (dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase); as well as rises in S assimilation, biosynthesis of non-protein thiols (NPTs), and phytochelatins (PCs). Compared to the other S-sources tested, elemental S more prominently protected B. juncea cv. Giriraj against Cd-impacts by minimizing Cd-accumulation and its root-toshoot translocation; decreasing cellular ROS and membrane damage, and improving Cd-chelation (NPTs and PCs), so strengthening the defense machinery against Cd. The results suggest the use of elemental S for favoring the growth and development of cultivated plants also in Cd-contaminated agricultural soils.

The unruly energy of Hypnotic Eye may have been absent from the Heartbreakers' recorded output recently, but it has remained a conspicuous presence in their live shows. In his time onstage with the band during tours like his last UK dates in 2012 or the theatre residencies in New York and Los Angeles last year, Petty still demonstrates his love for "anything that's rock'n'roll", to crib the name of the song that launched them in Britain. This was in 1977, a year before they got any traction amid the surging new wave back home. Yet the albums in the latter half of Petty's career have tended to be mellower propositions. Certainly, that was as true of such band efforts as 2010's bluesy Mojo as it was of nominally solo outings like 1994's Wildflowers.
But there's no such air of late-life repose on the music on Hypnotic Eye. These songs may arrive the same year that Petty turns 64 but the best of the lot are bold, brash and gloriously loud. The opening salvo of "American Dream Plan B" and "Faultlines" is all fuzz, muscle and rumble, and even quieter songs like "Sins Of My Youth" simmer with tension. Petty's right to marvel at its wildest moments, like the fevered vamping of keyboardist Benmont Tench, or the "ridiculous" solo by Mike Campbell on "Forgotten Man".
"That just fries my brain," he says, his pale blue eyes widening at the memory of hearing his bandmates attack the songs with gusto. Nor can Petty conceal the pride he feels about the album. He even admits he counts it as one of the "special ones" alongside Damn The Torpedoes, Wildflowers and Full Moon Fever. Sipping coffee from a brightly coloured ceramic mug and drawing puffs on a red e-cigarette (and the occasional real one), he settles into the sofa as he reflects on the new LP's creation.
"The songs just started coming out that way," he says. "This album has been made kind of in between tours and the first few tracks were done two or three years ago. They were pretty hardcore blues tracks and really great, but then I started thinking, 'This is going down the same road twice – I'll hold onto those for later.' Then the songs just started determining how people were playing and the sounds they were getting. So at some point early on I started to think, 'Let's just do a real rock'n'roll album.'"
The Heartbreakers were down with that, to put it mildly. Speaking to Uncut, Tench says he was "really delighted" when he noticed the direction Petty's songwriting was taking. "The material he was bringing in toward the end was much more the very, very guitar-driven stuff," he explains. "We've always been a guitar band but this was more that style with hard drums and guitar riffs."
In the keyboardist's view, the new songs were consistent with the music that remains the Heartbreakers' fundamental vocabulary: "the rock'n'roll of the middle-'50s and the middle-'60s". Yet they also ended up sounding like the Petty and the Heartbreakers of the middle-'70s, too. Mike Campbell, Petty's closest collaborator since the days of Mudcrutch, confesses he surprised the singer when he told him how much the vocals on Hypnotic Eye reminded him of his voice on the first few albums. "There was an urgency in his voice that sounded very familiar," confirms the guitarist.
"I hadn't thought of that, but he was kinda right," agrees Petty with a smile. "That's the rock'n'roll voice."
Petty himself is given to wonder who exactly that voice belongs to now or why his signature snarl is back in the picture. "Maybe it's an angrier, more worked-up kinda guy," is all he'll admit. Thanks to the singer's affable Southern charm, it's easy to forget what a live wire he used to be. After all, he was ornery enough to incur the ire of the music business at least twice over. On the first occasion, he declared himself bankrupt to get out of punitive early contracts on the eve of Damn The Torpedoes' release, and then by warring with MCA over their plans to introduce a higher LP price with Hard Promises. "I did go through a lot of my life with a short fuse where I could erupt into a serious rage," he admits. "I think that was a product of my childhood, when I had some serious abuse."
Petty chalks up much of that darker energy to his physically abusive relationship with father Earl growing up in Gainesville, Florida. As much as it fueled his musical ambitions and bolstered his determination to stand his ground, his anger could cause considerable trouble. The most dramatic evidence came in 1984, when he vented his frustration during the Southern Accents sessions by smashing his left hand into a wall and pulverising many of the bones within. Eventually, he turned to therapy to help take the edge off the old traumas.
"I started to learn and retrace what had happened to me and why I was that way," he explains. "It became quite clear to me why. And once you know why something is happening, you know how to fix it. Now I don't lose my temper and, God, it's a lot better life."
According to Petty, the only good thing about getting old is "the wisdom part". As he explains, "I don't have many debates with drunks on barstools any more. That's my shorthand for somebody who's just a waste of time, somebody who's just talking bullshit to me. I just walk away."
Petty now prefers to channel the rage of his younger self into characters, guys like the pissed-off narrators of "Burnt Out Town" and "Forgotten Man". Then there's the youngster in the album's opener, "American Dream Plan B", a kid who's "half-lit and can't dance for shit" but is still determined to get what he can in an era of diminished expectations. Elsewhere, panic and dread colours songs like "All You Can Carry" and the album's eerie closer "Shadow People"; clearly, this is an album that's not just louder but darker and more despairing than many of its predecessors. As usual, the prominence of Petty's melodic gifts and wry sense of humour are two mitigating factors.
But by their author's estimation, the songs reflect the world as he sees it in an age of widening disparities and a public enthralled to the false values of tech and celebrity. (The album's title refers to a camera-happy populace who barely notice they're being controlled by the gadgets they love.) Petty leans forward to put his mug on the wide coffee table in front of him, his manner less relaxed as he mulls the state of things beyond the iron gate at the end of his driveway.
"I'm not really a political person but I am a practical one," he reveals. "It is easy to see the good guys and the bad guys right now even though the good guys are a little grey.
"But I remember when people made a living and were quite happy and didn't even want a swimming pool but they were fine. You could do an honest day's work, support your family and maybe even own your own home – you could get by nicely. And as that's been taken away, a desperation creeps in. Then you have the media trying to hypnotise them by telling them, 'No, you should be rich or you're nothing. If you're not dressing like Kim Kardashian, you're nothing.' And that offends me."
His laughter suggests that he's aware of the irony of expressing these sentiments while enjoying the comforts of Malibu living, complete with a beach house closer to the ocean. But Petty still remembers what his life was like growing up in Gainesville, or driving cross-country with barely any gas money as he tried to rustle up interest in Mudcrutch. He presses one of his dark suede shoes against the table as he speaks. "I've been poor so whenever I hear somebody say, 'Oh, money doesn't matter,' I think, 'Well, that guy's never been poor because that's a stupid statement.' But y'know, it's nice to be able to pay your bills and not having to sweat it out all the time, because that's most people's lives. I don't take that for granted. I feel very blessed and happy. But I don't think money was ever the most important thing for us."
Petty also understands the ultimate worth of his worries about where things are headed. "I can't save the world," he says, breaking up once again. "I can only bitch about it!"
