How finance teams should prepare for new EU audit reforms
With the introduction of EU audit reform, Calum Fuller looks at the pressure points facing finance functions and their audit procedures
by Calum Fuller | Reporter - June 17, 2016
JUNE is to be a watershed time for audit.
EU audit reform is to kick in on 17 June, and will have a impact on all areas of audit regulation, including market competition, auditor oversight, audit quality and standards application, audit reporting, corporate governance related to auditors, auditor selection and auditor independence.
In the UK, the regulations will be operated on a comply-or-explain basis among public interest entities (PIEs) – defined by the EU as "all entities that are both governed by the law of a member state and listed on a regulated market".
Under the EU's audit directive and regulation, PIEs are compelled to put their audits up for grabs every decade and swap auditors every 20 years, in addition to limiting the level of non-audit fees. It's a move intended to open the FTSE 350 market up to more audit firms such as Grant Thornton and BDO.
Woefully unprepared
However, around a fifth of FTSE 350 companies are "woefully unprepared" for the EU's audit reforms set to take effect in June, according to research from Big Four firm EY.
EY's survey of 100 CFOs, tax directors and audit committee chairs found that 19% of respondents were unaware their company needed to tender or rotate its audit. And of those that did, almost half hadn't yet put a strategic plan in place.
Approximately 28% of firms said they also lacked full understanding of the proposed restrictions on non-audit services, with a handful (7%) stating they had no knowledge of the changes at all.
While 61% of those surveyed said they are planning to invite tenders from at least one non-Big Four firm, intentions aren't necessarily becoming a reality. In the last six months there have been 25 audit tenders completed by FTSE 350 companies, but none have been awarded to a non-Big Four firm.
"As expected, some companies have been moving ahead of the regulations, with over half of the FTSE 100 having tendered their audit since the spectre of the regulations loomed," Ball said. "But we haven't seen the same level of preparation among the rest of the FTSE 350, with less than a quarter having tendered so far.
"This was never going to be a cost-free exercise. Choosing an auditor and managing the mix of non-audit services is one of the biggest procurement decisions a company has to make. It requires a major time investment when going through the tender process and then bringing the new team up to speed, all of which carries an internal cost to the company."
In March, Ball told sister title Accountancy Age that mandatory rotation could "further entrench" the Big Four's market position, and even see them encroach on traditional non-Big Four market space. However, several non-Big Four audit partners disputed his assessment, suggesting it could take as long as ten years to see the fruits of the regulation.
Flybe non-executive chairman and audit committee chairman at Quintain Estates & Development Simon Laffin agrees with Ball's forecast for the audit market, but he is less than convinced by EY's numbers on the FTSE's preparedness.
"Doing an audit tender is a pain in the butt, but it's not going to be the biggest issue a board's going to face in a year," Laffin explains. "My experience is your auditor, when you have an audit, will pass comment on when you need to have an audit tender. Your auditor will tell you, so every company will know. We're talking about professional companies and I bet all the finance directors know."
Audit restrictions
For finance directors and their teams, though, there is a smorgasbord of elements to consider in the run-up to 17 June.
In addition to simply working out if a tender is due, there is the potential for conflicts of interest to consider, and whom is preferred for non-audit services given the strategic implications of those decisions.
"The biggest decision they have to make is who they want to be their advisers," says ICAS director of technical policy James Barbour. "They may have someone doing their external audit, they may need someone to do their internal audit if they don't have their own internal audit team. Then you have the tax advisers as well. We still don't have absolute clarity in what is tax advice in relation to the prohibitions – there are still some uncertainties out there. If they decide their number one priority is their tax adviser, that may restrict who their auditor could be."
In many cases, Simon Laffin says, those considerations are likely to still lead to a Big Four auditor, particularly for FTSE 350 businesses with multinational operations – simply because other firms don't have the coverage overseas.
Practical considerations such as these could well distort the application of the reforms, he adds.
"They [the EU and regulators] thought having more frequent tenders would reduce the dominance of the Big Four. I think in fact the opposite is going to happen," Laffin explains. "One of the figures that came out [of EY's report] is that 39% of companies said they wouldn't invite a non-Big Four [to tender]. Some of the non-Big Four don't have the international coverage required. If you're a big multinational company in a lot of different companies, you don't want to be going to somebody who doesn't have coverage in Namibia, so you'll be drawn to the Big Four."
Despite that stark warning, ICAS's James Barbour does see room for firms "outside the Big Four".
"It should lead to more [non-Big Four firms] getting more non-audit work," he says. "Once they have their foot in the door with the non-audit work, that then increases the likelihood that at a future tender they're a more likely candidate to get the appointment as external auditor."
That could particularly be the case if the Big Four's expansion into other areas continues. Simon Laffin believes this point has largely gone unrecognised by both the market and the regulators.
He says: "There's a growing problem as well that I don't think the regulators have even thought about: some of these audit firms are actually competitors to the company. Nobody's ever conceived that an auditor can be a competitor to the company it's auditing, but it's happening. It's happening because the audit firms are branching out – into management consultancy, into data analysis, into IT implementation. Do you want a representative of one of your competitors crawling all over your business? Even if there's a Chinese wall, we all know they're paper thin and they'll give you no guarantees that an auditor won't emerge in another part of their business.
"I think one of the issues we're going to face is companies scratching their heads as to who on Earth to invite as a serious competitor to the incumbent."
It's a situation that was illustrated in April when Deloitte divested the transactional side of its real estate arm in order to prevent conflicts with its audit team. The US Securities and Exchange Commission governing the independence of auditors had stymied potential business for the real estate team, while it also fell foul of caps on fees to auditors for non-audit services.
Property agents Knight Frank, Gerald Eve and Savills have all acquired portions of the team which was set up in 2010.
"When you stop audit firms doing non-audit work, I think people thought audit firms would sell their management consultancies and slim down to just being audit companies," Laffin adds. "In a way that's logical, but it also shows the naivety of the regulators, because if someone said to you in your business 'we're going to start chopping your main business down because we're going to stop people using some of your peripheral businesses', you don't react by retrenching – you react by finding other things to diversify into. And anything an audit firm diversifies into drags it into competition with potential clients."
While further signs of Laffin's concerns over potential conflicts are yet to be borne out, ICAS's James Barbour does highlight that the timescale at play is lengthy – between ten and 20 years – before we can say with any certainty whether the reform has been a success.
"We need to wait and see how things will pan out," he says, "You could end up with a situation where if someone's been appointed for the first time – barring anything unexpected, that firm will be there for ten years, and they'll tender after ten years. What we don't know is how audit committees will look at this in ten years' time. Will the say 'things have changed and the economy is now better. I would quite happy to appoint the same firm for another ten years'. That could be 20 years before we have another change. That's where we're looking before we get any potential change."

What Do You Expect Iran To Do?
I just watched Jon Stewart on O'Reilly. There's an unedited version here in mp4 format. That's the on I saw.
It's an interesting interview. One question that O'Reilly raised concerned Iran. He wants to know Stewart's thoughts. Is he scared of Iran? Should we consider violence against them to curb their nuclear capacity?
Stewart's reply is basically there are a lot of scary places in the world and we don't have the resources to go in and stop them forcefully. O'Reilly seemed to agree.
My view is a little different. I definitely don't want to see Iran with nuclear weapons. Iran is comprised of people that are amongst the most extreme of Islamic fundamentalists. No sane person wants nuclear weapons in the hands of such people. On the other hand there are immediate things that can be done to reduce the likelihood that they will acquire weapons.
Take a look at this map of the Middle East and note which countries are on Iran's borders. Among them are Iraq, where the U.S. has removed the previous government and installed a client regime, and in the process killed probably hundreds of thousands of people at a minimum. Then there's Afghanistan where the U.S. has removed the previous government and installed a client regime, and further wrecked an already wrecked country. Also there is Pakistan which had been ruled by a U.S. backed military dictator since 1999. Since then there have been "elections." Without going in to the details I'll just say that it's another puppet regime. Despite this Obama has expanded U.S. aggression in Pakistan.
So what would you expect a regime like what is in Iran to do if they want to sustain their grip on power when they are frequently being threatened by a state that has conquered many of the nations at it's borders? If they are sane they will probably attempt to acquire as many powerful weapons as they can. Our violence on their borders would quite naturally be their primary motivation to acquire these dangerous weapons.
O'Reilly is concerned about Iran. I am too. But Iran hasn't committed an act of aggression against another state in hundreds of years, unlike the United States and Israel. Lost among O'Reilly's spin is the fact that recently the IAEA passed a resolution calling on Israel to join the IAEA and open up it's nuclear weapons facilities to safety inspections for stability in the Middle East. Iran is a member. Iran has opened up it's nuclear sites to IAEA inspectors. Israel refuses. If it makes sense to threaten Iran, which doesn't have the aggressive history, why doesn't it make sense to threaten Israel, which does have an extremely aggressive history and in fact today occupies foreign territory by force?
Because the head of Iran is a wacko...I know he doesnt hold much power, but he certainly speaks for some.
He has publicly denied the holocaust. Said he wanted to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. And is in general hostile.
Israel, on the other hand, is a Democratic country. Fundamentally morally different.
Im not saying we should attack Iran. I think that would be a mistake. But these points should not be ignored, either.
The whole point of my post here is that their response is not irrational. Your response is an assertion that he's a "wacko." There's nothing wacko about his nuclear ambitions.
Haven't I corrected your assertion about his claim that he wanted to wipe Israel off the map? Maybe it was someone else. Anyway that's totally false.
As far as Holocaust denial, he's quoted as saying that he's not denying that it happened at all. He's questioning the extent of it. So when he calls it a "myth" he's probably referring to what he thinks is an incorrect claim about how many died. He's also critical of European countries for jailing those that would question it. He held a conference in Iran to provide an opportunity for people to speak freely about it. This was described as a "Holocaust Denial Conference" but he says it was an opportunity for people to express their views freely whatever they were without threat of state penalties. Personally I don't think that's all that wacko. If people were jailed for denying the Civil War in America I would expect some people to respond to that with denial that it really happened. They'd wonder why there was such a radical response to the questioning of a historical claim. These laws are probably fueling holocaust denial. I don't think you have to be crazy to react that way. And threatening to bomb them for this (and I know you aren't, but everyone that advocates bombing them always brings up his holocaust denial) is like bombing America since so few here believe in evolution. It's a denial of the obvious, but so what? This isn't a threat to anyone.
I'm reading about the media portrayal of Vietnam. The resistance was always "crazed, fanatical, barbarous, cruel." Basically not just evil, but lunatics. So this is standard propaganda. The state wants you to believe that Iran is crazed, but my argument here is that their behavior is not crazed.
Its the context that matters. Your civil war analogy completely misses the point.
Its in the context of a hatred of Israel. It flows naturally from such a view. In fact, I bet the correlation between those who hate Jews and those that deny the holocaust, or the extent of it, is pretty high...well above 0.9.
In other words, it helps support the argument that this guy is run by blind emotion. Wacko.
Btw, I left a comment on your Iraqi deaths link. Its awaiting moderation.
Once again, their attitude towards nuclear weapons is not crazed.
But their leader is. ;-)
You write, Haven't I corrected your assertion about his claim that he wanted to wipe Israel off the map? Maybe it was someone else. Anyway that's totally false.
Here is the proof, easily googleable. here and here.
You write, As far as Holocaust denial, he's quoted as saying that he's not denying that it happened at all. He's questioning the extent of it
Here is the proof, again easily googleable. See here and here.
Do you read your own links? You said that "he wanted to wipe Israel off the face of the earth." That's not true. He never threatened to do anything and he has no capacity to do anything. He did say he would like to see the Israeli state disappear. Your second link says there is debate about whether that should be translated as he would want them to disappear or be "wiped out". But in either case he never said he had any intention of wiping them out.
For a fuller understanding of his views go here. That's Andrew Sullivan who in turn provides links to may citations from Ahmadinejad on Israel and his view is clear. Just like the Soviet Union disappeared so he hopes Israel will disappear. The Soviet Union was not wiped out by nuclear conflict but by collapsing under their own weight. There's a big difference between that and the line you are passing (repeating from Pravda) that implies Ahmadinejad is threatening Israel. Pravda may go further than you in thinking this justifies aggression, but your claim is still from Pravda and it is false.
With regards to your links on holocaust denial, it's the same story. He questions whether it is a "real" event, but this doesn't mean it didn't happen at all. That sounds to me like he's saying he questions the extent of it, but who knows. Here's the quote I was referring to:
Ahmadinejad stated "I'm not saying that it didn't happen at all. This is not judgment that I'm passing here"
Once again you are quick to interpret his words in an uncharitable way just like Pravda does. And it just so happens that these misunderstandings serve the interests of state power.
Did I read the link??? Did YOU!
Here is the concluding remark of the second link from the NY Times:
So did Iran's president call for Israel to be wiped off the map? It certainly seems so. Did that amount to a call for war? That remains an open question.
Whats interesting is that the presidents own translators continue to take a more hardline interpretation than his defenders.
Sure, maybe the addition of "he" is too strong, but that's certainly not definitively the case. Though Jon certainly claims so.
I encourage everybody interested to read all the links I provded. Then read Jon's defense and see who is being more reasonable.
I know I feel like I am on firm ground here.
Now if Jon would only give the United States the same benefit of the doubt here...the debates would be alot more fair. :-)
Your evidence that Ahmadinejad said he wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth is that the New York Times asks whether or not his statement is a call for war? It's not a quote from his mouth? Did you read the link I provided with extensive statements from him about Israel?
And let's note also that the basis of your claim is one ambiguous quote variously translated which must be interpreted in a manner contrary to the many statements that are not vague. On the other hand Israel openly and unambiguously calls for the bombing if Iran. The latter is not a problem but the former is.
I googled more and found this on his denial of the holocaust.
He said, "They have created a myth today that they call the massacre of Jews and they consider it a principle above God, religions and the prophets."
But when pressed about this, your explanation is that Ahmadinejad is really questioning the extent of the holocaust scientifically, like "If people were jailed for denying the Civil War in America I would expect some people to respond to that with denial that it really happened."
The fact that there is a STRONG connection between the two statements, namely the denial of the holocaust and Israel being wiped off the face of the earth, completely escapes you. That is what I find disturbing.
Seriously Jon, its like if you have lost all common sense when it comes to foreign policy. You dont look at facts honestly anymore - you want them to fit your paradigm. Its really obvious to those of us reading the same information you present here.
What you call "losing common sense" I call recognizing the propaganda model that describes our media. Here's what I think about when I see the claim that Ahmadinejad wants to blow up Israel and denies the holocaust. I recognize that our government has had a long standing opposition to the Iranian government. Ever since they cast aside the dictator we had imposed on them in 1979 the U.S. has been looking for ways to re-install a puppet government.
You remember that big scary incident in the Straits of Hormuz where these tiny Iranian speedboats threatened our enormous warships? Video was made available with ominous voices saying something like "You will blow up soon." This was big enough that while discussed during the Republican debate (transcript here) the contenders tried to one up one another to see who was toughest against Iran. Huckabee was going to send them to the gates of hell. Thompson said he'd send them to see those virgins they seem to be so fond of. God bless Ron Paul's reasonable response, which turned out to be true though he was mocked by Brit Hume for his displeasure at the candidates threatening poses.
Turns out the whole thing was a joke (notice it's covered in foreign press). The Navy spliced together audio from a different incident to make things seem scary. American press perpetuates the initial false story and creates the fear, but the retraction is quite limited if not non-existent. This fits the propaganda model. This is exactly what you would expect.
You repeat the line that Pravda wants you to say. Ahmadinejad himself has threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. That's false. He never did. But our media certainly does create that impression. That fits the propaganda model.
And the fact that you said HE wants to do it is a big deal. I may want the Uzbekistan right wing regime to disappear, but I don't advocate violence against them. It's the difference between a general wish and an actual threat. That's a big difference. My propaganda model would say that the media would be happy to perpetuate belief in the false former claim. That is, the claim you made.
So when I look at the holocaust claim, I will admit that you are right that I'm interpreting him charitably. I think he doesn't believe that Jews were not rounded up and exterminated in any sense. But I could be wrong. The quote I offered from him doesn't go into details. Maybe he denies it in the sense you mean. But I hesitate to accept that because I know it's what Pravda wants us to think, so I await an unambiguous statement from him. He may offer it and I'll at that point concede it, but I don't think the present evidence justifies the conclusion.
Did you read the link from Sullivan and various quotes he linked to?
But sometimes a rock is just a rock. I think in this case, he really is a nut job.
Yep - read the Sullivan post. Fine, but it still has to be weighed with the evidence from the NY Times link. Its debatable. What I find interesting, as I said above, is that A's (by A I mean president of Iran, im tired of spelling it) own translators seem to take a hardline stance, much harsher than what his American based translators give him. And he doesnt go out of his way to clarify - yet he knows how many are interpreting him.
Also, all of these views come together. They CANNOT be seen in isolation. His dubious views regarding Israels place HAVE TO be taken into account WITH his views on the holocaust. It points to a man driven by rage and emotion, certainly not by logic. A dangerous man.
With that said, overall Im open to his more nuanced stance on Israel but I still think he is a loon. And the fact that you dont, makes me question your judgment.
When you call someone a loon what you do is you prepare people to put them down violently. Loons can't be reasoned with, so force is required. So Native Americans were savages. The Vietnamese were these crazed lunatics. Those that object to U.S. foreign policy in the middle east and react violently are Muslim extremists that love death and want nothing more than to kill themselves for 72 virgins. Once again, this is a common propaganda technique.
I don't think he's a loon in the sense that if he gets nukes he's just going to use them in irrational ways. Iran's acquisition of them is rational. Also it is a fact that the Holocaust is used by the Israeli government to perpetuate their crimes. If you had Shiite brethren in Lebanon getting slaughtered and if you lived in a country under constant threat of destruction at the hands of Israel and you saw how they used the holocaust to perpetuate their crimes you might become prone to deny the holocaust as well. Especially in light of the fact that questioning this propaganda tool is a crime. I can see how he could come to this conclusion from his perspective. So no, I don't think he's a loon. He's a calculating smart man. He knows how to retain his grip on power (as he does now with violence). He knows how to do what it takes to sustain power, and he would know that an attack on Israel would be the end of his grip on power.
So let me ask you a direct question: Say that A gets nukes, Iran joins the list of countries with nuclear power. Based on what he has said so far, you dont think there is a greater than 30% chance that he will use them on Israel?
Speaking of conspiracy theories, have you heard about the connection between Arabs and the holocaust? See here and here. Based on that knowledge, I could see why Jews see Arabs the way they do. :-)
To be clear I think it would be a disaster if he did get nukes, which is the point of my post here, so I wish the U.S. and Israel would stop doing the things that naturally lead him to drive to get nukes. It was the same with Saddam. Israel bombed the Osirik reactor. The reactor wasn't capable of nuclear weapons development according to the experts that examined the site after the bombing. However he did initiate a nuclear program at that point in reaction to the Israeli bombing. That's to be expected.
I don't think he's any more likely to nuke anybody than any other nuclear power. As I said he's a calculating tyrant. If he were to nuke Israel it would be suicide. I don't think he's suicidal.
Also Iran doesn't have the aggressive history of the U.S. and Israel, so prima facie you'd have to think Israel and the U.S. are more likely to nuke somebody than anybody. Take a look at the countries the U.S. has bombed over the years. As much as I don't want to see A with nukes I also say let's take a look at the beam in our own eyes.
I'll try and get to your links.

President Biden Wants to Ban
'Semiautomatic Weapons'? Dream On
It's a bold and probably unconstitutional goal
that's bound to alienate millions of Americans
By J.D. Tuccille. Dec 5, 2022
There's always a question as to whether President Joe Biden really means what he says or if he even understands the words coming from his mouth. That conceded, it's wise to take seriously the threats of powerful people who have the means to at least attempt to impose their will on others.
And that brings us to the president's recent vow to ban semiautomatic firearms, a vast category covering some of the country's most popular guns. It's a bold goal, not only in its scope, but also because it's probably unconstitutional and bound to alienate millions of Americans.
"The idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It's just sick," President Biden insisted on November 24 after a photo-op with firefighters in Nantucket, Mass. "It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers."
Maybe Biden just meant military-looking semiautomatic rifles since, when asked how he planned to accomplish his agenda during the lame-duck session of Congress after his party lost the House, he answered: "I'm going to try to get rid of assault weapons." But "assault weapon" is an arbitrary term defined by mostly cosmetic characteristics. Bans on such guns are easily evaded, and produce little or no reduction in the crimes that supposedly motivate restrictions. Besides, the president mentioned "assault weapons" only as a step to addressing the availability of "semiautomatic weapons."
Lots of Americans disagree with Biden's broad claim that semiautomatic firearms, which fire one shot with each squeeze of the trigger and chamber a new round without need for the user take extra action, have "no social redeeming value." They purchase semiautomatic pistols, rifles, and shotguns for self-defense, hunting, and target-shooting. And they purchase them in vast numbers. .....

Manfred sure Mets-Yanks collusion query will find no issue

NEW YORK – Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred confirmed Thursday that Major League Baseball is looking into potentially improper communication between the New York Mets and Yankees regarding star free agent Aaron Judge and said he is confident the inquiry will find no issues.
"I'm absolutely confident that the clubs behaved in a way that was consistent with the agreement," Manfred said Thursday, referring to baseball's collective bargaining agreement between players and owners.
"This was based on a newspaper report. We will put ourselves in position to demonstrate credibly to the MLBPA that this is not an issue. I'm sure that's going to be an outcome, but obviously we understand the emotion that surrounds that word (collusion) and we'll proceed accordingly."
The Athletic first reported MLB was investigating the teams after a story on SNY.com, the website for the Mets' television network, said a "mutually respectful relationship" between Mets owner Steve Cohen and Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner would prevent a "high-profile bidding war" for Judge. The 30-year-old slugger could command more than $300 million in free agency.
"I just really saw the reports really today, kind of reading a couple articles on it. I'm going to let the PA and MLB kind of figure that one out," Judge said on a conference call Thursday night after winning the AL MVP award.
"When you get to be a free agent, you kind of look forward to the opportunity to talk to every single team and kind of have an opportunity to see if a team wants you, that you can go there."
Judge turned down a $213.5 million, seven-year offer from the Yankees before opening day, then hit an AL record 62 home runs.
According to the report, the union requested MLB look into communications specifically between Cohen, who purchased the Mets from the Wilpon family for $2.4 billion in 2020, and Steinbrenner, who took over as the Yankees' managing general partner following the 2008 season.
Manfred, speaking at the end of this week's owners' meetings, said he will not directly be involved in the investigation.
"It's kind of a developing story for me, but looking forward to seeing what happens with that," Judge said.
There is also concern from players about comments made recently by Houston owner Jim Crane. Speaking to MLB.com, Crane said AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander "is seeking a deal similar" to the $130 million, three-year contract Max Scherzer signed with the Mets shortly before a three-month lockout began last year.
After the lockout, Manfred said one of his goals was to improve relations with players following contentious labor battles around restarting play during the coronavirus-shortened 2020 season and the expiration of the CBA after the 2021 season.
"I think those conversations were instructive, positive, helpful in terms of building a better relationship, which always begins with better communication," Manfred said of his meetings with players. "I was encouraged by players to continue the practice, and I do intend to continue that practice."
The last time collusion came up as an issue between players and owners was five years ago, when the union considered filing a grievance. Ultimately, the union to declined to file a grievance, though the slow pace of free agency in subsequent seasons led agents to believe collusion may be occurring.
In 2006, MLB paid $12 million in claims pertaining to the 2002-03 offseason. Owners also agreed to pay $280 million to players for violations following the 1985, '86 and '87 seasons.
Manfred was also asked Thursday about the league's relationship with FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange being investigated by state and federal authorities for allegedly investing depositors funds in ventures without their approval.
Manfred admitted the recent news of a class-action lawsuit against FTX, along with celebrities, athletes and teams who promoted it, was "jarring." MLB was not named as a defendant.
Manfred said FTX would not return as a sponsor for the league in 2023.
"We had been really careful in moving forward in this space," Manfred said. "We've been really religious about staying away from coins themselves as opposed to more company-based sponsorships. We think that was prudent particularly given the way things unfolded. We will, I think, proceed with caution in the future and of course how much we have to worry about it's going to depend on when this exactly lands, as well."
MLB signed a long-term deal with FTX in 2021. The agreement with the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange included all umpires wearing the FTX logo on their uniform sleeves during games along with advertising on nationally televised games, MLB.com, MLB Network and MLB.TV and social media platforms
Among those named in the lawsuit were Angels' two-way star Shohei Ohtani along with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry.
"I think we have been careful about the scope of involvement with crypto companies," Manfred said. "We have a full understanding of the uncertainties and legal risk in that landscape and we're going to continue to be careful in that area. Obviously individual players, they take advice from people other than us on those topics."


Oscar is a trash-sorting system with a 32-inch display and AI-powered camera that recognizes the items in your hand and tells you how to properly dispose of them. Approach with a Thai noodle box, for example, and it will tell you to throw the remaining food into compost and put the box in the trash.
Succeed in sorting your garbage and Oscar can say "Good job!," shower the screen with confetti, and share a QR code for some sort of perk, like a movie ticket or food discount. Get it wrong and Oscar can be a real grouch, making sounds of disapproval and displaying a dark red screen with a sign that calls you out for the mistake.

Ceresa Architetti
Architecture of the time
The ring out of this valley is not changed, it's the same silent which someone heard long ago, long before your passing.
Nothing ever happens here. But if you have patience when you stopping, you can understand how the atmosphere you breathe in this place is ancient, it's chimes in ethereal way. It's the architecture who is talking about this.
You can see, towards valley, the bell tower and the historic tower and between them the castle walls. The space between them has something pleasantly melancholy.
Today there are much more woods and you can note some more roofs, maybe too many, but you feel a sensation that make you think that the passing of the time and of its hours and days and seasons, suggests that nothing has changed. This because the silent formed in this space is the same that resonated from hundreds years, to stop it there is the bell tower which products the same full sound expanding in the valley.
From this place the presence of the bell tower is not indifferent. It imposes on the landscape like a strong vertical element able to break the linearity of the surrounding mountains. It conditions the nearby architecture which remains constrained by the constant rhythm of the passage of time, punctuated with extreme precision by the tolling of bells.
It feels the need to bring in to the project the meaning of "Time".
The house is a young building of three floors of the 1933, the ground floor was designed like the place for animals and the upper floors for the lumberyard. It has a square plan with simple geometries made from local stone. It's the same material used also for the neighboring architectures, like the church of the 1646, the tower and the castle walls of the 1300. This is the oldest part of the village.
The project's intention is to plan the time. There is the desire to understand the different way of the perception of the time passage.
At the ground floor there is the kitchen, the most convivial place of the house, a large counter and a solid wood table forming the entrance space to receiving guests. The whole pavement is made of stone slabs, it's the same material that covers every street of the village and it is able to reduce the delimitation between the inside and the outside of a house. The kitchen has four openings very close together which are bringing inside the sunlight and more views of the landscape. In this place the time and its passing are connected to the outside.
At the first floor the pavement changed, the stone become rubble and grit and the separation with the outside becomes stronger.
The big window frames the landscape and like a sundial it marks the passing of hours and seasons. The window frame is internal and it has the bell tower in the middle but retains the gap with the ancient time. It feels a detachment.
The inside space become more private, it welcomes the family, words and sounds become more slight and the time slows down.
At the second floor the pavement changed from stone to wood and openings become thin cuts inside the masonry. The light and sounds are more soft and the atmosphere is suitable for the single person. Here the passing of time slows down further almost to stop.
You can feel gradually the passing of time through a path between the internal floors of the house and the outside. The vertical link is made of a reinforced concrete stairs that become the skeleton of the house with the correa, beams and pillar. The wall behind the stairs is made of stone faced.
To dictate the rhythm of the bearing structure that composes the insole, or the arrangement and size of the beams, there is the pillar of the ground floor which is still on the rock and its base is 30x30 cm. Beams have always the same distance of 30 cm, in this way the interior space has a constant rhythm.
Each material is left in its natural appearance: stone, concrete, wood and iron have their strengths and their flaws.
Outside, in the front, it's clearly visible the ancient from the new. The old openings keep their auxiliary wood roof and the new window has a reinforced concrete beam.
The ancient is not changed and silently the sound of the new intervention is enter.

Usually, whenever Rich Guy and I meet up for eats, it doesn't come cheap. After all, Rich Guy is well-known for avoiding diners, drive-ins and dives... I'm sure he is not a Guy Fieri fan. Too bad really since good food can usually be found in the most unusual of places. However, Rich Guy does make exceptions, particularly when it comes to South Asian food. You see, it is almost unavoidable that many South Asian restaurants are not exactly the most classy of establishments. I'm not saying there aren't any, it is just not that common. Therefore, he had no objections in meeting me for some Vietnamese food at Pho Boi. Now if you look closely at the picture, the parking sign reads "Pho Hoa". Yes, this was a former location of the big Vietnamese chain. Other than the name change, not much seemed to be different.
We started with the Appetizer Combo which included one each of the Shrimp Salad Roll and Spring Roll. In addition, there were 3 fried drumettes. The salad roll was not very good due to the really dry and unchewable (in parts) rice wrapper. On the inside, some basil would've been a nice addition for flavour. As for the spring roll, it was okay. A bit scrawny, but it was crispy and the filling was not gritty and actually quite flavourful. The 3 wings were an utter disaster though. They were fried far too long and they were pretty skinny. For myself, I had the Pho Dac Biet which was pretty standard. What I mean by that is there was an average amount of noodles (which were not overcooked) and a decent amount of meat (which was tender). In terms of the broth, I found it to be mild with only a some hint of MSG. I would say it was somewhere in between savoury and sweet without very little meat flavour.
Rich Guy went with his go-to dish being the Lemongrass Chicken with rice. As you can clearly see, the chicken was far from grilled. Lacking in colour and char marks, the flavour was muted. Sure there was lemongrass and hints of sweetness, but it was weak. Consequently, the "meh" nature of the food here didn't make us forget Pho Hoa. Rather, it almost seems like merely a name change and nothing much else. With that being said, the place is okay in a pinch though, but not our first choice.
Oh boi ! So Pho Boi is now a chain ?

NEW RELEASE..... Everyone needs a guardian angel, especially children of this world who are tossed aside like yesterday's trash. But what if that angel is cloaked in vengeance, immune to human qualities of remorse or compassion, seemingly carrying a torch for justice, yet driven by a tenacious indignation. Set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of San Francisco and all of its fleeting secrets, Michael attempts to re-boot his life, only to see death drop inches from his feet. Awakened from a seemingly catatonic state, and emboldened by a spirited friendship from his past, the former journalist is compelled to chase down the truth behind a murder--and the natural beauty connected to it. But what he finds isn't what it appears. Can a price tag be associated with life? What about death…on a global scale? Robbed of his memory, beaten to an inch of his life, yet unwavering in his quest to cease an act of terror, Michael races against time to pursue an enemy bound by an unspeakable cause--or so it seems. The fourth book in the Greed series, GREED MANIFESTO, spins a tale so wickedly conceived, you won't believe what you read. Until you do.
Greed Manifesto by John W. Mefford is a 2014 publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Micheal is now in San Francisco putting one foot in front of the other, going through the motions when he gets himself involved in a murder and kidnapping and once more feels compelled to investigate. A run in with his former protege', Andi has the two teaming up to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, Micheal's brother dearest is still alive and well and has not curbed his habits.
So, if you follow my reviews you are probably wondering if I have gotten over being mad about the turn of events that transpired in book three. As the book started out, I confess I was still holding a grudge. I didn't want to like this story or the new direction I knew it was about to take. So, I struggled with it initially, especially with the back and forth time frame the author used until he got us all caught up in one time frame and that didn't happen for good long while.
However, by the half way mark I found myself letting go of my anger little by little and found the plot was quite interesting. Still there were a few emotional curve balls , but I wasn't so heavily invested this time so it was easier to roll with it.
I do hope that this is not going to turn into a Jack Reacher type scenario where Micheal can't seem to settle in one place too long and I hope he doesn't intend to pull another stunt like he did in book three. Frankly, it's like "once bitten, twice shy" with me and I don't entirely trust the author on that count. The ending made me very nervous indeed and the author doesn't seem ready to reveal the direction he intends to go next.
We know there are issues Micheal will have to deal with in regards to certain family members, I just hope the price isn't too high .
So, all in all I didn't mind the outcome of this one and if there had to be a change I couldn't have picked a better way for things to turn out... if only we don't see history repeat itself. This one is 4 stars.
Also in the Greed Series FATAL GREED - Greed Series #1 Behind every corporate takeover executives pull levers this way and that, squeezing the last profitable nickel out of the deal. But no one knows the true intent of every so-called merger. No one knows the secret bonds that exist. An Indian technology giant swallows up another private company that has deep roots in North Texas. For one unassuming man the thought of layoffs, of losing his own job to a bunch of arrogant assholes feels like a kick to the jewels. Until the day Michael's life changes forever. Perverse alliances. A gruesome murder. An affair of the heart. A spiraling string of events thrusts Michael into a life-or-death fight to save a tortured soul and hunt down a brutal killer...one who lurks closer than he ever imagined. LETHAL GREED - Greed Series #2 How often do start-up companies promise untold riches? How many of those firms are drug cartels? Seduced by an insatiable urge to escape reality, North Texas teens are falling prey to the one weakness parents fear most about their kids—taking illicit drugs. More than a thousand miles away, two contemptible hooligans plot their path to the top of an emerging start-up company. But what will it cost them? With his city under siege by a series of drug deaths and a kidnapping, Michael and those closest to him are sucked into a twister so toxic and destructive, no one will be the same in its wake. From the jagged mountains and alluring beaches of Mexico to the suburban concrete jungle in North Texas, Michael defends an entire drug-ravaged generation against ruthless killers who attack on every front possible. And just when you think the dragon has been sleighed, a vile act of cruelty threatens to shred his family. WICKED GREED - Greed Series #3 Torture disfigures and maims, traumatizing a person's psyche. It also torments the lives they…touch. A sick, twisted email lands at journalism outlets across the south, referencing innocent little animals and primal urges, Hollywood movie stars and women of a certain ilk, tearing flesh from bone. The haunting note tests Michael's over-protective nature, and he questions if it's just a prank from a sheltered computer geek, or a prophetic sign of a future heinous act. A shadow of death swallows up one beautiful young lady after another…and no one can stop it. But what force is behind this string of sadistic killings, pulling the strings, toying with pretty girls who want nothing more than to meet Mr. Right? As Michael and his band of brothers (and sister) track a series of bizarre murders in southern college towns—slowly piecing together what the FBI can't—a ruthless monster strikes close to home. When blood pours from the soul you love, the pain isn't of this world. In the end, lives will be forever changed. And one will not survive. About the Author A veteran of the corporate wars, former journalist, and true studier of human and social behavior, best-selling author John W. Mefford has been writing novels since he first entered the work force twenty-five years ago, although he never put words on paper until late 2009. John writes novels full of intrigue, suspense, and thrills, but they also evoke an emotional connection with the characters. When he's not writing, he chases three kids around, slaves away in the yard, reads, takes in as many sports as time allows, watches all sorts of movies, and continues to make mental notes of people and societies across the land. John lives in Frisco, Texas with his beautiful wife, three opinionated kids, and a feisty fat cat who rules the world.
I liked the outcome too. I just don't like the surprise at the end.

Is there anything better than feeling truly confident and beautiful in your own skin? Our organic ingredients and effective, natural remedies treat your skin while nourishing your entire body.
Lattuga Organics was founded by sisters from Puerto Rico with a passion for creating clean, natural remedies for their skin and personal care.
"My sisters and I grew up in Punta las Marias, a small beachfront neighborhood in San Juan. Our mom would often take us to the beach, bringing with her a jar of olive oil, one with local honey and a bag of brown sugar. We used them to scrub and moisturize our skin.
We are committed to repurposing waste and reducing our carbon footprint through our business practices, using post-consumer recycled materials for packaging, sourcing ingredients from companies powered by renewable energy, and backing local suppliers.
Furthermore, we are working on an official affiliation with a coffee farm in order to support a Bioeconomy. We want to utilize the waste created in coffee processing as raw materials for our products. This would also generate a small but supplemental income to the coffee producers for something that would most likely end up in our landfills.
To take our mission further, we are a company that greatly cares for our island and the environment. We are involved in a local project called Escuela de Campo that helps local coffee farmers of Puerto Rico significantly improve their farming practices utilizing minimum resources.
