Steven Rifkind (born March 2, 1962) is an American music entrepreneur. He is the founder and chairman of Loud Records and of SRC Records. He is associated with artists such as Wu Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Akon, David Banner, Asher Roth, Joell Ortiz, and Big Pun. Rifkind has also launched marketing campaigns for companies like T-Mobile, Adidas, SanDisk, Nike, Pepsi, Levi Jeans, and Starter. According to XXL magazine, he is "responsible for breaking in some of hip-hop's biggest artists in his 25 years in the business".

Life and career

Origins
The son of Spring Records' Jules Rifkind, Rifkind found an early affinity to R&B and hip hop music growing up in Merrick, Long Island. The elder Rifkind ran the R&B label in the 1960s and 1970s, whose clients included James Brown and Millie Jackson. In his youth, Rifkind worked for his father at Spring, even working as a promotion man on "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" by the FatBack Band in 1979, widely regarded as the first rap song ever recorded (it beat Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight into record stores by weeks). After leaving Spring Records, Rifkind relocated to Los Angeles where he managed the R&B group New Edition from 1986 to 1988..

Loud Records
As the CEO and founder of Loud Records in 1991, Rifkind helped the bi-coastal hip-hop label focus on "street-themed" hip-hop. Loud was influential in launching the careers of several hip-hop stars in the early and mid-1990s; most notably the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Three 6 Mafia, and Big Punisher. With Loud, Rifkind used the techniques he had developed at SRC to bring his artists success in branding and cross-promoting themselves. Among others, Loud's holdings included a film division and a clothing line.

Loud's success led to Rifkind selling 50% of the company to RCA in 1996.  In July 1999, Loud moved to Sony. Loud launched its film division in 1999, signing a multi-year pact with Dimension/Miramax.  Loud Film's first and only project, Paid in Full (a film on which Brett Ratner, Jay-Z, and Damon Dash were partners with Rifkind) was released in 2002.

The new millennium
Today, Rifkind is still deeply involved in the hip-hop and R&B world. After losing the Loud Records name after a sale to Sony in 2002, Rifkind started Street Records Corporation (a second SRC). Early artist signings included David Banner, as well as R&B singer Akon. In 2003, Rifkind joined the Universal/Motown Records group as Vice President.

In 2007, Rifkind acquired limited rights to the Loud Records name from Sony and released the Wu-Tang Clan's 8 Diagrams under the Loud banner.

Along with operating SRC, and his ever-expanding roster of corporate clients, Rifkind's latest ventures include investments in Coalition Music Group, a Reggaeton label, as well in Kid's Block, an educational DVD series for children featuring music by the Trackmasters production team. 2008 saw the foundation of the Rifkind Thal Group (RTG), a technology marketing company. Its first client is SanDisk, a data storage products inventor and manufacturer.

The Street Team Concept
The Street Team promotional model as pioneered by Rifkind is based on the simple principle of word-of-mouth advertising coupled with the touchstones of what makes "urban cool". The Street Team is fundamentally based on knowledge of the urban subculture on the part of the marketer and what the potential consumers relate to.  "Nobody should put out a record before they know what the street thinks".

Personal life
Rifkind is involved in several philanthropic activities. Camp Excel, founded in 1996 with childhood friend, psychologist Dr. Gary Altheim, is a week-long overnight camp for underprivileged children struggling with learning disabilities. Rifkind is also a sponsor of breast cancer charities, donating the profits from his Think Pink Rocks concerts to breast cancer research and treatment. The first Think Pink Rocks event in September 2008 was hosted by Queen Latifah and featured several SRC Records artists.

Rifkind also sponsors and coaches the Delray Blazers, his son Alex's youth basketball team, in Delray Beach, Florida. They won an Amateur Athletic Union Florida state championship in 2008. Around this time Rifkind served as a godfather to Sammis Reyes, a student-athlete from Chile who would later become the first Chilean to play in the National Football League (NFL).

Henry Clay Crawford (1856 – September 23, 1929) served as Secretary of State of Florida from 1902 to 1929, succeeding his father John Lovic Crawford, who served from 1881 to 1902, upon his death. He was a Democrat. H. Clay Crawford held several jobs before becoming chief clerk to his father. Appointed Secretary on January 28, 1902, after his father's death, he was nominated and reelected to that position until his own death.

He wrote his memoirs in 1914, mainly about the founding of Crawfordville, Florida (the county seat of Wakulla County) and the post-Civil War Reconstruction in the county.

According to the State Archives of Florida, "Crawford claimed that the town was named in 1866 in honor of his father who was then the state senator for Wakulla.  He recounts the names and activities of the earliest of Crawfordville's inhabitants and names those who have died and those who remain. His depiction of Reconstruction politics is told from the point of view of a southern Democrat and accuses the Republicans of malfeasance in office.  He recounts a riot taking place at the courthouse and the assassination of one of the Republican ringleaders. This is a short work and it seems that it may perhaps have been prepared for publication in a newspaper of the era."

Alina is the second novel, published in 2006, by Northern Ireland writer Jason Johnson. When the eponymous character, an online sex worker or "cam whore", disappears, two mismatched travelling companions leave Belfast for Romania to find her.

The story addresses the abnormality of the underworld relationship between the post-communist east and capitalist west within Europe in the 21st century. It has been described as an exploration of "Ceaușescu's regime via allegory."

Plot summary

Henry Sender discovers that a website he has inherited is an outlet for eastern European webcam operatives, selling themselves live online to customers around the world. As he begins to explore his potentially new career as a webmaster, he "meets" one of his clients, Alina, who rents time on the portal and has a string of disconcerting customers. As an email relationship builds, she suddenly stops communicating and no longer appears online. She had told Henry earlier that she was planning to meet one of her customers in real life.

Suffering from a bipolar disorder and bouts of paranoia, timid Henry hires a bodyguard, Shuff Sheridan, to travel with him to Romania in order to track down Alina. As Sheridan loosens up along the way, he begins to engineer violent episodes as the men travel from Belfast to London, and from Bucharest to Iași. Hard drinking Sheridan picks violent fights with random strangers while consistently consoling a panic stricken Henry by telling him that he is his Protector.

Meanwhile, Alina meets her customer, Gadaka, in the flesh and he takes her to an apartment he has hired in the city of Iași. He explains that he will pay her the large and agreed sum, but that she will have to be his sex slave for eight days. As Alina begins what she hopes will be her final sordid encounter, it appears that Sheridan and Sender simultaneously embark on a night out in the same town during which a Russian mafia enforcer is killed.

Back home in Belfast, elderly Francis Cleary is dying while locked inside a steel box. Unable to escape, he thinks back on his times as a maverick philosophy lecturer and how Sheridan was his most eager student.

After escaping a brutal confrontation in Iași, Sheridan and Sender make it to Alina's home address. They find her hanging, having committed suicide some days before. An unsent file on her computer reveals that she had wanted to send a suicide note to Henry. The message suggests that Alina had been unable to live with the shame after what she had been through. Gadaka had cheated her out of the money he had promised to give her.

While searching through her PC, Henry finds that Gadaka is trying to communicate with him. Gadaka outlines what he had done to Alina as he watches Henry seated beside her corpse on Alina's webcam. As their conversation tumbles into depravity, Henry tricks Gadaka out of a fortune in minute-per-minute webcam fees before challenging Sheridan, who has just returned, bloodied, from another bar.

As Henry learns news of the now deceased Francis' fate back home, and that Sheridan is wanted for imprisoning the old man in an empty oil tank, he comes close to shooting his bodyguard. Ultimately he allows Sheridan to sleep, instead choosing to carry Alina to an historic nearby cathedral. He leaves her at the feet of St Paraskevi, Protector of Iași.

Henry leaves Romania soon after, resolute that he has been somewhere close to Hell and that he must begin an escape from his past personality and his recent life. As Sheridan awakes and makes his way back home, he is arrested in London and imprisoned for life for the murder of philosopher Francis Cleary.

Reaction
Alina  received a mixed reception, with critics tending to either rate it highly or dismiss it altogether.

The UK's Independent on Sunday said it was "ambitious but flawed"

American author and critic Frank Sennett said Alina "delivers a climax as harrowing as one might hope to find in contemporary crime fiction."

Anowa is a play by Ghanaian writer Ama Ata Aidoo that was published in 1970, after Aidoo returned from Stanford University in California to teach at the University of Cape Coast. Anowa is based on a traditional Ghanaian tale of a daughter who rejects suitors proposed by her parents Osam and Badua, and marries a stranger who ultimately is revealed as the Devil in disguise. The play is set in the 1870s on the Gold Coast, and tells the story of the heroine Anowa's failed marriage to the slave trader Kofi Ako.

The play has a unique trait whereby a couple, an old man and an old woman, take on the role of the Chorus. They present themselves at crucial points in the play and give their own views on the events in the play.

Anowa's attitude of being a modern independent woman angers Kofi Ako. He requests her to be like other "normal" women. Anowa lives in a hallucinated world, and the sorrow of not bearing a child depresses her. Her rich husband, now frustrated with his wife, asks her to leave him. Anowa argues with him and finds out that he had lost his ability to bear children and the fault accounting for being childless was in him and not in her. This disclosure of the truth drives Kofi Ako to shoot himself and Anowa drowns herself.

Anowa represents the modern woman, who wishes to make her own decisions and live life as per her choice. An additional conflict is that, although a tribal woman, she has the traits of a city-bred. Her attitude leads to her destruction.

Characters
Anowa – Anowa is the protagonist of the play. She is the wife of Kofi Ako, as well as the only child of Abena Badua and Osam. Anowa is first described as a young woman who is "slim and slight of build". Anowa is portrayed as a free-spirited woman who values making her own decisions and living the type of life that she wants for herself.

Kofi Ako – Kofi Ako is the husband of Anowa. He comes from the Nsona house, which is seen as one of the best houses in Yebi – according to Osam. Kofi is described as a good-looking, "tall, broad, young man". Kofi is a hard-working businessman who trades animal skin for a living. Kofi becomes one of the richest men in all the Gold Coast.

Abena Badua – Abena Badua is the mother of Anowa and the wife of Osam. Badua and Anowa have a falling out after Badua protests about her marriage to Kofi Ako. Badua wishes her daughter would be more like traditional Yebi women.

Osam – Osam is the father of Anowa and husband of Badua. Unlike Badua, Osam is indifferent about whom Anowa marries and leaves the decision to his daughter. Osam is often seen smoking in the play.

Old Man – The Old Man is one half of the "Mouth-That-Eats-Salt-And-Pepper". The Old Man and the Old Woman create exposition with their dialogue. Both the Old Man and the Old Woman are considered first-person narrators. The Old Man is described as "serene" and "orderly".

Old Woman – The Old Woman is one half of the "Mouth-That-Eats-Salt-And-Pepper". The Old Woman, alongside the Old Man, creates exposition with their dialogue. Both the Old Woman and the Old Man are considered first-person narrators. The Old Woman walks with a stick but is always restless and often seen moving around.

Boy – Boy is a slave to Kofi and Anowa. Boy is only referred to as "boy" in the play. Although Anowa is barren and without children, boy refers to Anowa as "mother" and Kofi as "father".

Girl – Girl is a slave to Kofi and Anowa. Girl is only referred to as "girl" in the play. Like Boy, Girl refers to Anowa as "mother" and Kofi as "father". Girl is fond of Kofi and Anowa and wishes she was their child.

Panyin – Panyin is an eight-year-old slave to Kofi and Anowa. Panyin is the twin sibling of Kakra.

Kakra – Kakra is an eight-year-old slave to Kofi and Anowa. Kakra is the twin brother of Panyin.

Themes and motifs
There are many themes and motifs throughout Ama Ata Aidoo's Anowa; however, the main themes scholars have agreed upon are as follows:

Tradition/Cultural practices

Scholars have pointed out the importance of traditional/cultural practices in relation to different characters in the play. For instance, Anowa's mother Badua feels strongly regarding her daughter marrying a man that is capable of providing a specific lifestyle for her. She leans on her husband (Osam) for support but is met with a lack of concern as he would rather see his daughter become a priestess, to which Badua completely rejects. Badua continues to hold firm in her traditional beliefs of how her daughters life should play out, (marrying a man she approves of, having a farm and multiple children, etc) thus driving a wedge between the two women when Anowa states she is marrying Kofi Ako, a man Badua had not imagined her daughter ending up with.

While Anowa challenges her mothers wishes of a more traditional partner and ultimately lifestyle she simultaneously pressures her husband Kofi Ako to submit to certain cultural beliefs. When Anowa realizes she is unable to have children she urges Kofi to obtain multiple wives in order to create a culturally accepted family dynamic. When Kofi fights back Anowa has a difficult time accepting his decision and continues to pressure him.

Feminism
Many scholars have argued the role feminism plays throughout Anowa, however what they can agree on is that it is present in some capacity. Anowa's character for instance represents a rejection of cultural norms in more ways than one. When she chose Kofi Ako as the man she will marry she does not do so for the fact that he will provide a culturally accepted lifestyle for her, rather she steps out of that suppressive notion and marries him solely based on her feelings for him.

When Kofi and Anowa's relationship takes off he is quickly made aware of her dominant, rebelling nature. Anowa rejects the traditional cultural practice of a wife being a homemaker and adjusts to life on the road with her husband quickly. Even when Kofi suggests that life on the road will only get tougher she fights back claiming that she enjoys it. This attitude is something Kofi finds confusing as traditionally women do not desire a life of "hard labour" and therefore questions why she must be so difficult and ultimately rebellious.

Slavery
Slavery is a dominant theme throughout Anowa, and Adioo suggests a sort of compliance within the community towards the Atlantic slave trade. Anowa's character strongly disagrees with the use of slaves and argues with her husband because of it. In fact, she would rather have him marry multiple women to help with their work than enslave people to do so. In Phase Three of the play we see Anowa reflect on a conversation between her and her grandmother in which she learned about the slaves for the first time. It is a memory that haunts her and has ultimately moulded her feelings towards her husband's desire to own slaves holding firm in her own beliefs.

Influences and development
In Ama Ata Aidoo's Anowa, the central theme of perspective is often seen through a unified lens included with intersectionality. In Yogita Goyal's academic journal article, we are given the acknowledgement in the understanding of perspective as crucial in navigating the themes which wishes to highlight. In summary, Aidoo acknowledges that completeness is obtained within her story through accepting and understanding both sameness and differences between each character within the written text. Furthermore, in Aidoo's play Anowa is the understanding of the divided roles, and understanding how these differences interact with one another.

According to the artists Minna Niemi and Yaba Badoe, Aidoo's play Anowa represents a visionary component in the history of the silencing of African woman's perspective and voice. However, more specifically, Aidoo represents the importance of challenging heteronormative and hegemonic gendered roles by expressing open and honest communication between both the female and male characters throughout her text. Therefore, because Aidoo considered her voice and role as an African female author to be inferior to her male counterparts, it ultimately highlights the issues surrounding gender inequality and misrepresentation in literary terms, as well as social. In this way, as Connie Rapoo would argue, Aidoo's fictionalized work is a symbolic representation of her own real world experiences as being a female African playwright and writer. Aidoo's Anowa represents a visionary approach to tackling and discussing the binary gendered roles with her portrayal of masculinity and femininity.

Honours, awards and performances
Anowa became an iconic play based on Ghanaian folklore. The play was produced in London, England, in 1991 and by Humanities Press (New York, New York) in 1970. At the annual Zimbabwe's International Book fair in 2002, Anowa took recognition as part of the collection called "The Twelve Best Books by African Women," which is a collection of critical essays on eleven works of fiction and one play. The Zimbabwe International Book Fair listed the twelve literary books as "Africa's 100 Best Books of the Twentieth Century" for the very first time.

Anowa also created a social impact of recognition in America when a multicultural cast from the University of California at Santa Barbara performed the play in 2012. The play is known to be a contemporary African play because of the positive social impact of the role of the main character in the play. Anowa can also be found in the paperback entitled Contemporary African Plays (listed on the Bloomsbury Group page), which is a collection of notable plays for the past 25 years in African theatre. It honours the play's significance that highlights African culture and tradition.

The Leftovers is an Australian punk rock band which formed in 1976 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Original band members were Warren Lamond on vocals, Ed Wreckage on guitar, Jim Shoebridge on guitar, Glenn Smith on bass guitar and Graeme 'Hutch' Hutchinson on drums. Constant members of the original band (1976–1979) were Lamond and Smith, whilst other members were replaced at various times by a host of others including Michael Hiron, Johnny 'Burnaway' Gorman, Mal ' Malcontent' Skewis, David 'Dodo'Donald and Ed Wreckage's son, Ché Wreckage, who joined the group in 2012 along with Michael Gilmore. The group existed from 1976 to 1979 with reformations in 1983 and 2012.

According to music historian, Ian McFarlane, Brisbane produced "some of the most anarchistic bands of the Australian punk rock era" and that it was a city nationally renowned for its ultra conservatism. Ian McFarlane also mentioned the group's first and only single, which was released in 1979 and rates it as "one of the classics of the late 1970s Australian punk rock era."

The Leftovers had acquired local cult punk hero status in Australia over the years due to their acknowledged reputation in the past for excessive anti social practices, constant harassment by the Queensland Police Force and self-destructive deeds. Their musical style fitted the generic conventions of punk but they also paid live homage to earlier proto–punk influences such as Lou Reed and Patti Smith.

History
Originally from Sandgate, Ed and four mates formed the band The Leftovers in 1976. Beginning in parallel to The Saints from Brisbane's southside, The Leftovers mostly played shows in suburban halls and practice rooms. In the conservative climate of late 1970s Brisbane, punk concerts were not looked upon fondly, and The Leftovers shows often ended with a heavy-handed response from the local police. "Many Leftover gigs were never finished – police would often pull the plug before they had a chance to get through a full set", The Leftovers had been quoted as saying. Chris Spencer, compiler for the Who's Who of Australian Rock, commented that they "Embodied the image of what Brisbane's visualization of 'punk' was all about. Raw, energetic and anti social and everything else that made the era fun, they captured the attention of fans, neighbours and the police.; The band released one seven-inch E.P. in 1979. The A-side, "Cigarettes and Alcohol" is considered an Australian punk "classic".

The band started out with members Warren Lamond on vocals, Jim Shoebridge on guitar, Glenn Smith on bass and Graeme 'Hutch' Hutchinson on drums but also had a plethora of other musicians filling in vacant roles. They included at various times Michael Hiron on drums, Johnny 'Burnaway' Gorman on guitar and Ed Wreckage, firstly on drums and then guitar. Some of these members went on to join The Riptides and The Pineapples from the Dawn of Time at various times.

The group disbanded in 1979, Lamond and Wreckage going on to form the Temporary Ornaments. After the split, according to Ian McFarlane, a string of tragedies occurred from the band's ex-members that included suicide attempts (Warren Lamond), prison (Ed Wreckage) and premature deaths. The group members who have died since are Warren Lamond, Glenn Smith, Michael Hiron, Johnny 'Burnaway' Gorman and Jim Shoebridge.

In 1985, they reformed for one live show featuring Warren Lamond on vocals, Ed Wreckage on guitar, Michael Hiron on bass and David Donald on drums.
In 2012, the band reformed for a show called "Return to White Chairs", which featured various other local bands from the late 1970s to early 1980s. The Leftovers' line-up for this show was Ed Wreckage on guitar, Graeme Hutchinson on percussion, Michael Gilmore on vocals and Ché Wreckage on bass. The current line-up have continued playing live shows in Brisbane.

Legacy
In 2003 a retrospective CD of Leftovers was released called The Fucken Leftovers Hate You was released by Dropkick Records as well as a re-issue of their 1979 vinyl record.  The material on the CD included recorded songs including Patti Smith's Hermine and a collection of live recordings. Songs from the original E.P., Cigarettes And Alcohol and I Only Panic When There Is Nothing To Do were included on several Australian CD compilations during the 2000s.

Malcolm Clarke Stewart (14 March 1935 – 20 March 1977) was an Australian racing driver. He was known as the "Jolly Green Giant" for his disposition and height.

Stewart was born in Orange, New South Wales. He began his motorsport career racing motorcycles, being selected to represent Australia at the 1955 Isle of Man TT, but withdrew due to work commitments. After racing Karts and touring cars he moved to open wheelers in 1965 with much success, winning the 1967 and 1968 Australian One and a Half Litre Championships. Stewart was selected to drive for Alec Mildren Racing, and went on to win the 1969 and 1970 Australian Formula 2 Championships driving a 1.6-litre Mildren Waggott. In 1970 he competed in a 2-litre Mildren Waggott in which he ran strongly in the 1970 Tasman Series with a number of podiums, and finished second to Jackie Stewart in the 1970 JAF Grand Prix for Formula Libre cars. He also won the 1971 Australian Drivers' Championship and the 1972 Singapore Grand Prix.

Stewart later raced a Lola T330, winning the 1974 Australian Drivers' Championship and the 1974 Australian Grand Prix. He then developed an initially troublesome Lola T400, winning the 1975 Australian Grand Prix and the 1975 Toby Lee Series. He led the 1976 Australian Grand Prix from Vern Schuppan and John Goss until he retired a few laps from the end.

Max Stewart lost his life on 20 March 1977, the day after being critically injured in an accident while practicing at Calder Park Raceway, near Melbourne.

The accountancy profession in Malaysia is regulated by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) through the powers conferred by the Accountants Act, 1967. The MIA is an agency under the Ministry of Finance and reports directly to the Accountant General Office. As at 4 February 2016, MIA has 32,618 members of which 68% are involved in commerce and industry, 22% in public practice and 10% in government and academia.  Selangor and the Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory have the largest concentration of MIA membership with 13,125 and 7,351 members respectively. https://web.archive.org/web/20150725035639/http://www.mia.org.my/new/members_statistics_state.asp

MIA sets the By-Laws (On Professional conduct & Ethics) and auditing standards for the accountancy profession in Malaysia, which are in line with the standards issued by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB).

Other Accountancy Bodies in Malaysia
The Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA), which was established in 1958, is another accountancy body that is involved in the training and development of accountants in Malaysia. Apart from that, accountancy bodies from the Commonwealth countries such as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) and CPA Australia are also active in training and developing Malaysians towards attaining professional accountancy qualifications.

After the Malaysian Institute of Accountant (MIA) and Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA), the third largest accounting body in Malaysia is Institute of Commercial and Industrial Accountants, Malaysia (ICIA).

The institute (ICIA) has signed an MRA with IPA Australia with reciprocal recognition: of membership status. This means that associates of the ICIA with recognized tertiary qualifications in accounting are eligible to be admitted as an Associate member of the IPA (AIPA). In addition Certified members of the ICIA (deemed to be the equivalent of an Australian bachelor's degree), having completed all the required ICIA professional exams and the required 3 years’ Practical Training with an approved training organization are eligible to be admitted as a full member (MIPA) of the IPA.

ICIA had recently changed its name to Association of Certified Accountants, Malaysia. With this new name, the Association aim to bring in more accounting staff or workers to join so that their accounting knowledge can be improve over time.

Accountancy Education
Accounting courses are offered both by the public and private higher education institutions in Malaysia. Presently, accountancy degree from 11 institutions of higher learning are recognised for the purpose of admission to the membership of MIA. Some of the institution of higher learnings also offer programmes leading towards attaining professional accountancy qualifications such as ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW, CPA Australia and MICPA.

Accounting Standards
Accounting standards are issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) by virtue of the power conferred by the Financial Reporting Act, 1997. The Financial Reporting Act also establishes the Financial Reporting Foundation, which is the body that is responsible to oversee MASB's performance and financial arrangement.

The MASB had announced the effort to bring Malaysia to be in full convergence with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) by 2012.

In February 2014, the MASB issued Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standard (MPERS) and this sets a new milestone for financial reporting of private entities in Malaysia. MPERS is based substantially on the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs) issued by the IASB in July 2009. The new reporting framework, known as the MPERS Framework, is effective for financial statements beginning on or after 1 January 2016, with early application permitted.

Private entities now have a choice of continuing with the existing Private Entity Reporting Standards (PERS) Framework, or apply the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) Framework (mandatory for non-private entities, except transitioning entities), or by 1 January 2016, mandatory migration to the new MPERS Framework. As the requirement for first-time adoption of MPERS is retrospective, it is important the private entities prepare in advance if they have to migrate to the MPERS Framework or the MFRS Framework in the near future.

Accounting Firms in Malaysia
Till 2015, there were almost 1400 operating accounting firms in Malaysia. https://web.archive.org/web/20150718040257/http://www.mia.org.my/new/circularandresources_miaannualreport.asp . Most of the global networks of accounting firms such as Ernst & Young, Deloitte, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, BDO, Mazars, Geneva Group International, Crowe Horwath, Baker Tilly, Urbach Hacker Young and Grant Thornton have their presence in Malaysia.

Accounting firms have to be registered with MIA and members of MIA who wish to offer public practice services should also possess practising certificate issue by MIA. However, specific approvals should be obtained to provide the following services:
 Audit of limited companies; approval to be obtained from the Ministry of Finance and firms should be registered with the Companies Commission Malaysia
 Audit of co-operative societies; approval to be obtained from the Malaysia Co-operative Society Commission
 Audit of banks and financial institutions; approval to be obtained from Bank Negara Malaysia
 Tax agent services, approval to be obtained from the Inland Revenue Board
 Receivership and liquidation services; approval to be obtained from the Ministry of Finance

Charles Alexander Calvert (28 February 1828 – 12 June 1879) was a British actor and theatre manager known for arranging new productions of the Shakespearean canon featuring elaborate staging and what were considered historically accurate sets and costumes.

Early life
Calvert was born in London on 28 February 1828, and educated at King's College School. After leaving, he spent some time in the office of a London solicitor and in a mercer's business in St. Paul's Churchyard; but before long he was drawn to the stage, having derived a first impulse towards it from the plays of Shakespeare produced at Sadler's Wells Theatre by Samuel Phelps, from whom Calvert afterwards modestly declared that he had learnt all his art.

Acting career
He first acted professionally in 1852, at Weymouth Theatre, under the management of Edward Askew Sothern, famous for creating the role of Lord Dundreary. Then he played leading parts at Southampton and in South Wales, until in about 1855 he joined the company of Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick at the Surrey Theatre in London, where he played leading youthful parts of a "legitimate" type. A year after his arrival in London he married the actress Adelaide Ellen Biddies, who went on to continue her stage success in her own right as Adelaide Calvert. They had eight children, of whom five (three sons and two daughters) followed their parents' profession, including Louis Calvert, their third son.

In 1859, Calvert became stage-manager and principal actor of the Theatre Royal, Manchester. Five years later in 1864, by then manager of the newly built Prince's Theatre, Calvert began the series of Shakespearean "revivals" which were the chief efforts of his professional life. Convinced that Shakespeare could be "made to pay," he consistently produced plays with elaborate attention to scenery, costume, and every other element of stage effect. The Shakespearean plays revived by Calvert were the following:

The Tempest (1864), with which the Prince's Theatre opened, and which proved a signal success
Antony and Cleopatra (1866)
The Winter's Tale (1869)
Richard III (1870)
The Merchant of Venice, with Arthur Sullivan's music (1871)
Henry V (1872)
Twelfth Night (1873)
Henry IV, part 2 (1874)

From a draft in his handwriting it appears to have been his intention, had his connection with the Prince's Theatre continued, to crown the series by an arrangement of the three parts of Henry VI together with Richard III in three plays, under the title of The Houses of York and Lancaster. Some of Calvert's less elaborate productions included Byron's Manfred (1867) and other plays by Shakespeare. He generally had a good "stock" company, in which several actors and actresses of mark received their training. The financial viability of the ventures he was associated with seems to have varied. The Prince's Theatre passed into the hands of a company in 1868 who quickly rebuilt it, allowing Calvert to fulfill his promise of providing "dramatic entertainment of the highest class". His connection with the theatre ended in 1875, shortly before which Calvert had staged a very successful production of Henry V in New York. After leaving the Prince's Theatre he produced, at the Theatre Royal, Manchester, Henry VIII in 1877, for which he commissioned a new score for the fifth act by Arthur Sullivan. He also staged Byron's Sardanapalus at Liverpool and at the Theatre Royal, Manchester, and superintended a "replica" at Booth's Theatre in New York.

Later years
His last years were migratory, spent at the head of a traveling company which appeared in Manchester and at other places. Towards the end the state of his health, which had given way four years previously, persuaded him to retire to Hammersmith, London where he died on 12 June 1879. The genuine admiration felt for him in Manchester had been shown on the occasion of his first departure for New York by a public banquet (4 January 1875). His funeral at Brooklands cemetery, near Sale in Cheshire, was made the occasion of a popular demonstration. Later in the year (1 and 2 October) a benefit performance of As You Like It was staged in Manchester for his family.

Keys Public School was a 5 classroom school located inside C. J. Mackenzie High School in Deep River, Ontario, Canada.

History
Keys School was founded in 1955 and named after Dr. DA Keys, a vice-president of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. The school served students in kindergarten through eighth grade. By the time the original building closed at the end of the 2004–2005 school year, Keys served fifth through eighth grade students.

With the 2005 closure of the original building, the fifth and sixth grades were moved to Morison Public School and the seventh and eighth grades were moved to a wing at Mackenzie High School. The former Keys Public School building was leased by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited for use as an office building.

Due to declining enrollment, in 2011 T. W. Morrison Public School, Keys Public School, and C. J. Mackenzie High School were amalgamated into Mackenzie Community School.

Hell-Cat Maggie (fl. 1820–1845) was the pseudonym of an American outlaw and early member of the Dead Rabbits. She was a well-known personality in Manhattan's Five Points district and a noted fighter, her teeth reportedly filed into points and her fingers adorned with long, claw-like brass fingernails. She fought alongside the Dead Rabbits and other Five Pointers against rival nativist gangs from the Bowery, most especially the Bowery Boys, during the early 1840s. Although there is little information about her life, she is one of the earliest female outlaws of the "Gangs of New York" era and has been compared to other female outlaws such as Gallus Mag and Battle Annie, the latter leading the female auxiliary of the Gopher Gang during the 1870s.

A composite character based on Hell-Cat Maggie, Sadie the Goat (whose historic existence has been in doubt) and Gallus Mag was played by Cara Seymour in the 2002 film adaptation of Herbert Asbury's The Gangs of New York directed by Martin Scorsese. She was also featured in the 2003 historical novel A Passionate Girl by Thomas J. Fleming.

Phillips Distilling Company has released a blended Irish whiskey named after Hell-Cat Maggie that's described as being "...for those who defy convention and do things their own, rebellious way."

Indian Summer is a 1993 American comedy drama film written and directed by Mike Binder. The movie was filmed at Camp Tamakwa (a summer camp in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada), which Binder had attended for ten summers as a child camper. Indian Summer features an ensemble cast, including Binder's childhood friend, film director Sam Raimi, who has a supporting role in it.

Plot
"Unca" Lou Handler (Alan Arkin), the beloved owner and director of Camp Tamakwa, invites thirty former campers - from the camp's "golden years" two decades ago - back to the camp to announce his retirement.  Seven friends who attended during the summer of 1972, all now adults, respond to the invitation and return for a one-week reunion. Once there, the group comes to feel nostalgic memories of their youth, and unresolved feelings for each other begin to surface.

The invitees include clothing designer Matt Berman (Vincent Spano), his cousin and business partner Brad Berman (Kevin Pollak), Matt's wife Kelly (Julie Warner), Kelly's friend and Matt's ex-girlfriend Jennifer Martin (Elizabeth Perkins), art gallery employee Jack Belston (Bill Paxton), recently widowed Beth Warden (Diane Lane), and carefree bachelor Jamie Ross (Matt Craven), who brings his much younger girlfriend, 21-year-old Gwen Daugherty (Kimberly Williams).

While willing to participate in the camp reunion, Brad finds the place smaller and dingier than he remembers, and he can't wait to get back to managing his business. Matt feels trapped being in business with Brad, despite their success, because he wants to do other things with his life.

Uncertain about his relationship with Kelly, Matt expresses renewed romantic feelings for Jennifer. Worldly but still single and occasionally lonely as she approaches middle age, Jennifer is tempted to reciprocate.  Lou has other ideas, though, and he nips their tryst in the bud.  Kelly confronts Matt about her concern that he is becoming distant, after which they work to repair their relationship.

Beth is working through the trauma of losing her husband Rick to a tragic accident one year ago. Jack was Rick's best friend, and regrets not being able to attend his funeral. Although initially tentative in their interactions, Beth and Jack eventually begin a relationship with each other during the reunion.

Jamie is happy being single, with no intentions of starting a family anytime soon. Gwen wants to start a family, and increasingly resents and eventually stands up to Jamie's dismissal and objectification of her.

Having been kicked out of camp as a child and sent home by Unca Lou, Jack nevertheless returns to make amends for what he did - burying Lou's 1946 Michigan State boxing trophy in retaliation for an act of racial prejudice committed by Lou, very much inconsistent with the values taught at camp. Lou eventually acknowledges this and expresses regret over his actions.

Camp traditions include moose watching, shreks (pranks), Lou doing a "dirty dog" (catching campers sneaking out of their cabins at night), the morning wakeup bell, taking what recreational opportunities Wakonda (the Indian god of weather) provides, boxing as both athletic discipline and means of settling arguments, and Lou bestowing the same "super-secret Indian name" (Thundering Cloud) on young campers having trouble socially adjusting to the camp environment.

Lou's primary reason for retiring is his inability to connect with a new generation of kids more interested in boomboxes and headphones than in the great outdoors. Beth and Jack decide they are up to the task, and they want to continue running the camp. Lou gives them his blessing, and they go on to welcome the next class of Tamakwa campers.

Johann Christian Friedrich (Fritz) Heidmann (1 November 1834 – 30 June 1913) was a German missionary and botanical collector who was born near Lübeck.

Trained as a glazier, Heidmann joined the Rhenish Missionary Society in 1861.  As a member of this group, he began work as a missionary in Cape Colony in 1865. A few years later, along with approximately 90 Baster families, he relocated to the deserted village of Rehoboth. At Rehoboth he would serve his congregation until his retirement in 1906.

During warfare between the Ovaherero and the Namaqua, Heidmann acted as mediator at peace talks between the Basters and Ovaherero, and in the early 1890s he worked closely with German authorities to secure Baster cooperation against Namaqua leader Hendrik Witbooi (1825-1905).

In 1886, he was visited by Swiss botanist Hans Schinz (1858-1941), with whom Heidmann agreed to collect and ship botanical specimens from German Southwest Africa to Zurich. Schinz would later name the plant species Crotalaria heidmannii after him. Heidmann suffered from dementia later in life, and died in a mental institution near Cape Town.

Manada Gap is an unincorporated community in East Hanover Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, United States, located in the Harrisburg-Carlisle area, near Fort Indiantown Gap.

Fort Manada
Fort Manada (also known as James Brown's Fort) was a settler stockaded blockhouse established by James Brown in response to Indian attacks in the area, and then
improved and commanded by Captain Frederick Smith as a sub post of Fort Swatara. It stood on what was the property of William Rhoads, east of the Manada Creek, about midway between it and the road to Jonestown and three-quarters of a mile south of the mill that once existed in Manada Gap.

Captain Frederick Smith and his company were mustered into provincial service early in January 1756 and were ordered to establish a defense or occupy and improve the existing defense at Swatara and Manada. The garrison at both forts was spread between the fort and settlers' homes, protecting the dwellings and the workers in the field. James Brown was killed by Indians in August 1756.

As in the case of Fort Hunter, the settlers about Manada Gap had already commenced a place of defense in the latter part of the fall of 1755. In February 1756, Captain Frederick Smith, with his company of provincials, either completed the fort already commenced or erected a new one. This was called Manada Fort.

On historical maps, it is located on the wrong side of the stream and rather too close to the mountain. Being of minor importance, or at least so considered, it was used only a couple of years. The exact location of this fort has never before been given.

Video Italia was a Canadian category 2 Italian language digital cable television channel owned by Telelatino Network Inc. (80%) and Gruppo Radio Italia (20%). The channel broadcast primarily music programming such as concerts and music videos. It was a Canadian version of the Italian channel, Video Italia.

History
In December 2000, Telelatino Network was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch Video Italia, described as "a national ethnic Category 2 specialty television service consisting of music and entertainment programming directed to Italian/Italian-speaking audiences."

The channel launched in June 2005 initially on Vidéotron in a package marketed as Super Trio Italiano with 2 other newly launched Telelatino channels, SKY TG24 and Leonardo World. All three channels were wholly owned by Telelatino Network with the exception of Video Italia, which was 80% owned by Telelatino Network Inc. and 20% owned by Radio Italia.

On September 11, 2007, Vidéotron discontinued carriage of Video Italia and on September 18, 2007 the remaining carriers, Rogers Cable and Mountain Cablevision discontinued carriage of Video Italia also. In Telelatino's message posted on its website, they noted that they were "disappointed" with the decisions of the distributors to drop the channel, along with some of the others in the Super Trio Italiano package, suggesting it was not Telelatino's decision to discontinue the service, rather it was a lack of interest from distributors.

History
The area around the modern city of Iga corresponds to a portion of ancient Iga Province. The area was noted in the Sengoku period as one of the centers for ninjutsu. From around the 1460s until 1581, the province of Iga was an effectively autonomous confederation governed by a council of local ninja families. The town developed in the Edo period under the Tokugawa Shogunate as a castle town under Iga Ueno Castle. Iga is known as the birthplace of the haiku poet Matsuo Bashō and the home of the ninja Hattori Hanzō.

The town of  Ueno was established on April 1, 1889 with the creation of the modern municipalities system. It was raised to city status on September 10, 1941.

Economy
Iga is traditionally known as a center for Kumihimo, a traditional braiding art, with several artisans still in activity.

The siren uses a system of dampers around ten choppers, each with different sized holes, in order to produce music. Due to Yamaha ending support for all models of the Music Siren, it has become extremely difficult to find examples still in operation.

The Kharaba Bridge is a Roman bridge in the village of Kharaba in the fertile Hauran region of Syria, close to the city of Bosra (ancient Bostra).

The bridge crosses the Wadi Zeidi, a tributary of the Yarmuk, 3.5 km northwest of Bosra. It has three semi-circular arches, each 3.8 m clear, that rest on 2.4 m wide piers with a height of 2.5 m to the springing level. The bridge width is 4.52 m. At the eastern side exists a small squarish floodway which is supported by a column with capital. The vaults and the covering are predominantly built with black greenish basalt ashlar; overall, the ancient structure is still in a fairly good condition.

There are at least two more Roman bridges crossing the Wadi Zeidi: the Gemarrin Bridge and one at At-Tayyibeh.

Babatunde Lea ( ) is an American percussionist who plays Afro-Cuban jazz and worldbeat. He took his name from Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji.

Biography
Michael Lea was raised in Englewood, New Jersey, while regularly commuting to 116th and Amsterdam in New York, where the rest of his family lived after moving from his birthplace, Danville, Virginia. His aunt was one of the first women to play in a marching band.  He began drumming at the age of 11, when he, without drumming experience helped a drumline get a rhythm right. That same year, his cousin took him to see Babatunde Olatunji and his "Drums of Passion", and Olatunji's influence was so great that Michael took on his first name. At 16, he first participated in a professional recording session with Ed Townsend. In 1968, he moved to San Francisco, where he joined Bata Koto, led by Bill Summers. He joined a band called Juju, which relocated to Richmond, Virginia in the early 1970s.

In 1977, he moved back to the San Francisco Bay Area. Among the artists with whom he played were Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Randy Weston, Van Morrison, Oscar Brown, Jr. and Mark Murphy.  In 1993, Virginia and Babatunde Lea founded the Educultural Foundation, a California 501(c)(3) educational non-profit organization based in Vallejo, California.

Returning east, he met up with Leon Thomas (who used to sing at the church Lea attended as a youngster, the First Baptist Church of Englewood) and became drummer in his band.  This led to working with Pharoah Sanders.  Lea would ultimately pay tribute to Thomas on his 2009 album, Umbo Weti, which appeared on the Motéma Music label that he founded with Jana Herzen in 2003.  His first album as leader, Levels of Consciousness was released in 1979.  He recorded with a band called Phenomena, which grew out of the Loft Jazz Association.  He did not release another, Level of Intent, until 1996, putting it on his own label, Diaspora Records.  He mortgaged his home to get the album released, but it was not widely distributed until Motéma reissued it in 2003.

In 2010, Babatunde and Virginia moved to Pennsylvania to teach at Gettysburg College.

Says Lea of his work, "I strive to make my compositions functional, which is an African take on the arts. The purpose I try to imbue my music with is that our growth as human beings should strive toward an anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, egalitarian, democratic universal society and I don't care how many lifetimes it takes to get there! I consider myself an activist as well as a musician and consider myself an 'agent of change.'"

His work has been noted for its mixture of styles and influences.

Cai Qi (; born December 5, 1955) is a Chinese politician, who is the current first-ranked secretary of the Secretariat of the Chinese Communist Party, fifth-ranking member of the CCP Politburo Standing Committee and close associate and confidante of General Secretary Xi Jinping. He is also the serving directors of both the CCP General Office and General Secretary's office, both powerful and influential positions within the internal administrative apparatus of the CCP.

Cai began his career in Fujian province. He has served successively as the mayor of Sanming, the mayor of Quzhou, the mayor of Hangzhou and the Communist Party secretary of Taizhou, Zhejiang. Beginning in 2010 he served as the executive vice governor of Zhejiang Province, and in 2014 was transferred to Beijing to serve as deputy director of the CCP National Security Commission Office (rank equivalent of minister). Between 2017 and 2022, he was the Communist Party Secretary of Beijing. Largely due to Cai's extensive experience working in Zhejiang province, he is believed to be a political ally of CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping.

Early life
Cai was born in Youxi County, Fujian province on December 5, 1955. During the latter years of the Cultural Revolution he worked at the Xiyang Commune, Yong’an County, Fujian. He joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1975. Cai attended Fujian Normal University and graduated in 1978 with a degree in political economics. Afterwards, he stayed in the university as an official in its CCP committee, working there until 1983.

Early local careers

Fujian
In 1983, he was transferred to the Fujian Provincial CCP Committee, working there as a clerk until 1985, then working as a division deputy head between 1985 and 1987, and then working as a mishu at a General Work Department between 1987 and 1991. He worked as the deputy director of the Office of Political Reform between 1991 and 1992, deputy director of the Party Building Department between 1992 and 1993, and deputy director of the Provincial Party General Office between 1993 and 1996. As deputy director of the General Office, he was primarily a personal secretary to then Fujian CCP secretary Chen Guangyi.

Between 1994 and 1997, he pursued a post-graduate degree in economic law at his alma mater via part-time studies. He additionally attended a four-month training program for department and prefecture-level cadres at the CCP Central Party School in 1996. In September 1996 Cai took on his first major role in local government as the deputy CCP secretary and later mayor of the city of Sanming in Fujian, working there until 1999.

Zhejiang
He was transferred to Zhejiang province in May 1999 serving as the deputy CCP Secretary and Mayor of Quzhou, working there until 2002. Cai additionally pursued a doctoral degree in political economics, which he obtained from September 1999 to July 2001 at Fujian Normal University through part-time studies. Between March 2002 and April 2004 Cai served as Quzhou's CCP secretary, the top political office of the city.

In April 2004 Cai became party secretary of Taizhou, Zhejiang; at the time, Xi Jinping was the party secretary of Zhejiang province. In April 2007, Cai was promoted to the position Mayor of Hangzhou, the provincial capital, also serving as deputy CCP Secretary. In January 2010, he became a member of the provincial CCP Standing Committee as head of the party's provincial Organization Department. In November 2013, Cai became the Executive Vice Governor of Zhejiang province. He made the announcement of his change in jobs on his microblog account.

Beijing

In March 2014, Cai was said to have been transferred to Beijing to work as the deputy director of the General Office of the CCP National Security Commission, a newly established body led by CCP general secretary Xi Jinping, though no official announcement was made about this appointment. Given his Zhejiang work experience and his current position and seniority, Cai has been named as a member of the so-called "New Zhijiang Army", i.e., officials who at one point worked under Xi Jinping during his term as Zhejiang party secretary.

After his transfer to Beijing, Cai stopped updating his various social media accounts. The only indication of his whereabouts appeared in news footage at numerous "study sessions" of the CCP Politburo, where he was shown seated next to other minister-level officials, suggesting that he was an official of full provincial-ministerial rank and working for the central party organization. It was later confirmed that he was serving as deputy director of the Office of the National Security Commission.

Party Secretary of Beijing
On 31 October 2016, Cai was appointed acting mayor of Beijing, replacing Wang Anshun, later being formally appointed as mayor by the Beijing Municipal People's Congress on 20 January 2017. He was also appointed as the deputy CCP committee secretary of Beijing.

In May 2017, Cai was appointed as CCP committee secretary of Beijing. Cai's appointment broke nearly all conventions in post-Cultural Revolution political tradition; he was neither a member nor alternate member of the Central Committee, and took on an office that would, under normal circumstances, be accorded Politburo membership. He was appointed to the 19th CCP Politburo immediately after the 19th CCP National Congress in October 2017, becoming one of the few people to be appointed to the Politburo before serving at the CCP Central Committee.

In 2017, early in his tenure, Cai came under controversy due to the forceful eviction of many migrant workers from Beijing. At a leaked video of a speech he made a day after fires in southern Beijing on 18 November, Cai said "some should have been cleared long ago, but that’s difficult, so no one dared to do it", referring to unapproved dwellings. Afterwards, he publicly took a more conciliatory tone warning against “oversimplified” and “hasty” evictions.

During his tenure, Cai Qi promoted green development, particularly environmental protection, in Beijing. He also devoted work to national security issues, especially cybersecurity. In June 2020, Cai was appointed to lead the team charged with the elimination of coronavirus in the Xinfadi market.

As the Beijing Party secretary, Cai was responsible for organizing the  2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Beijing. In June 2017, he was appointed President of the Beijing Organising Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. He gave an opening speech during the opening ceremony of the Olympics, as well as during the closing ceremony. He was awarded the Gold Olympic Order after the Olympics.

Top leadership
Following the 1st Plenary Session of the 20th CCP Central Committee, held after the closing day of the 20th Party Congress in October 2022, Cai was appointed to the CCP Politburo Standing Committee as its fifth-ranking member, also becoming the first-ranking secretary of the CCP Secretariat. In March 2023, he became the director of the CCP General Office, succeeding Ding Xuexiang; this made him the first General Office director that's also member of the Politburo Standing Committee since Wang Dongxing.

Cai was revealed as a deputy head of the CCP National Security Commission in May, the first time one of the deputy heads was someone other than the premier or the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. Cai has also frequently accompanied Xi on trips, responsible for arranging his security, schedule and daily affairs.

Public image
Cai is known for his extensive use of social media and his unorthodox approach to governance. Cai has referred to Xi as "Xi Dada" (Father Xi) and "Boss Xi!" in public media. The Economist opined in 2017 as Cai "rocketed up the Communist Party’s ranks" that "Xi Jinping has chosen an unusual man to lead the capital city." Cai is said to have been a fan of Kevin Spacey's House of Cards TV serial, and was cited as a fan of the iPhone product.

Cai maintains a Weibo microblog account under the subtitle "Cai Qi, a Bolshevik", which has been active since May 2010. The account was initially opened under the name Qianshui (潜水; literally, "scuba diving"), but he was eventually 'outed' by internet users. The account is 'followed' by over ten million people. He used it regularly to communicate with citizens. As a sub-provincial-level official Cai was one of the highest-ranking officials to maintain a regular social media presence. It is the opinion of certain political scholars that Cai used this Weibo tool to circumvent existing CCP apparatus and thereby gain public profile, "considerable influence" within the CCP and thereby promotion. Cai has stated of the CCP that:

On the evening of 14 September 2013, a mother of an ordinary government staffer working for the national revenue agency posted on her microblog feed that her son was expected to partake in heavy drinking with superiors on a regular basis as part of his work and that it was affecting his health. The mother pleaded for attention to the case by then Zhejiang party organization chief Cai Qi. A day later Cai responded to her asking which department her son worked at and vowed publicly "your son doesn't have to drink from now on."

During his four years of using Weibo, he averaged more than six posts a day, which he compiled into a book called "A Room Made of Glass", saying he choose the title to promote transparency. He spoke about sensitive political topics in China, saying it was a "shame" the Facebook couldn't be accessed in China, and talking about the conviction of Ingo Heinrich, an East German body guard who was convicted after shooting Chris Gueffroy for trying to escape the Berlin Wall. He also broke conventions, announcing his promotion as the deputy director of the Office of the National Security Commission through Weibo, before the Chinese state media reported on it. He stopped posting on Weibo after his transfer to Beijing.

Personal life
Before retirement, Cai Qi's wife was a bureau-level official in Zhejiang. The couple have a son, who previously worked as an official at the subdistrict level in Hangzhou and as a staff member at the National Development and Reform Commission.
