It's hard to weigh yourself and take your picture when you've got a cat rolling around on the bathmat right next to your feet. Zelda's a goofball.

COVID Relief: Fraud Schemes and Indicators in SBA Pandemic Programs
"“Having ready access to a doctor is vital to high quality healthcare. Yet the busy schedules of consumers and physicians alike often prevent timely attention to routine and urgent healthcare problems in the traditional 9 to 5 physician office visit options. Digital technologies can help overcome the barriers to accessing medical care, yet our survey shows that these tools are not available to most Americans,” said Robert Pearl, M.D., Chairman of the Council of Accountable Physician Practices and CEO of The Permanente Medical Group and the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group. “Healthcare providers must step up our adoption of these common-sense and available solutions if we are truly going to reform healthcare delivery.” - See www.bettertogetherhealth.org for event webcast - Hosted at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health on November 4, 2015
The Capstone of the Year Award was presented to Fairfax County for its Alternative Accountability Program.
WHO’S ACCOUNTABLE HERE?
“Hey…that’s not MY job.” – “When is Lee going to get me that report?” - “What is going on with the marketing report?” – “ When are they going to finish that thing?”- “I can’t believe Kim is so late in making those phone calls.” - “Okay…who dropped the ball this time?”
Does this sound familiar? If so, your team may be faced with a very serious challenge with accountability, which results in finger pointing, frustration and broken trust…both with your employees and your customers. Personal responsibility and accountability can put an end to the blame game, saving your business a huge amount of money by increasing productivity and overall job satisfaction, which results in very satisfied customers. But accountability does not come naturally and has to be systematically developed (that includes team accountability exercises).
The first characteristic of a highly accountable team is the ability to set a clear direction, in other words, the ability to clearly define and communicate the results the team wants to achieve. Both accountability and culture change begin with well-defined results. In fact, it makes little sense to initiate any accountability or culture change process without first clearly identifying the results (outcomes) you want and need to deliver.
In short: What is mutual accountability? It’s a crucial element of a good team that requires that ALL TEAM MEMBERS are held EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE .

Accountability, Achievement, and Action: High School Education Reform in the New Era

MONROVIA, LIBERIA: August 28, 2017 - Following Liberia’s civil war, which ended in 2003, the government accelerated long-standing policies, which granted natural resource concessions to foreign companies. Since then, land in Liberia has been in high demand from foreign and national investors, particularly for palm oil plantations, mines, and timber concessions. In 2011, Liberia joined the Open Government Partnership committing to a dialogue on land rights and mapping land concessions. Since this time, it has finished two action plans. The third one will begin after President Sirleaf or the incoming president signs it. Through ongoing collaborative efforts by civil society and the government, more and more communities are learning about their land and finding a voice in discussions and debates about how to best move forward. In 2013, The Land Rights Act was introduced. If passed, it would legally recognize communities’ rights to their land. It also establishes safeguards to reduce discrimination against women and other vulnerable groups – who are often disproportionately affected by social and cultural barriers to using and owning land.

Political accountability is a rare commodity in India. Therefore when a politician / party is elected to power - its considered to be a five year license to whatever they want.
But the electorate of India does not suffer fools for too long. Come election day and the fat cats are chased out of town. Now with the youth are discovering the power of vote - proudly showing their finger (with the indelible ink on it ofcourse, proof that they have cast their ballot)

(before anyone gets all up in arms, if you've never seen me in person, I am much shorter than you think I am: about 5'7")
Goals:
-I want to be back into my clothes. I can button the bigger sizes when I'm at the thinnest part of my cycle, but they're not comfortable.
-More tone and definition, especially in my upper arms and around my middle.
-I'd like to able to wear skirts in the summer without getting rashes on my legs from chafing.
-Relearning to eat in moderation. Plants, mostly, and not too much, if you will. Prior to shacking up, I ate a lot more salad, cheese and whole grains. I've used Punsir's preferences as an excuse to eat more meat, more processed foods and more alcohol.
-If that number wanted to drop by about 15, that'd be fine.
Make these "abusers" "accountable!"
Women gathered to protest against the current spate of incidents of violence against women and children in Sri Lanka. The protest was organised by Women for Women. The protest was held at Lipton Circus on 20th July 2012. Women demanded the authorities to take immediate action and bring the perpetrators to justice, rather than making inappropriate comments!

South Sudan needs to move ahead now and enforce Justice and accountability, the top United Nations Diplomat, Ambassador Samantha Power, said on Saturday September 3, 2016, shortly after meeting with the council of ministers in Juba.
“For as long as armed actors, rape, loot and kill with impunity, for as long as they are not held accountable, it will be very hard for the cause of peace to take hold here,” Ambassador Power told the council of Ministers in Juba.
Security Council delegates reiterated that the United Nations and member states remain committed to see an end to violence so that people can begin to recover from years of conflict and alleviate the suffering of the people.
'President Bush: the world holds you accountable'.
This snapshot of the cultural manifestation in Brussels on Sunday 20th
against the visit of president Bush, as opening to the street
manifestations on Monday and Tuesday, gives a good idea of what the
protesters want to say to the president of the United States.
It summarizes, according to the organizers, all the criticisms against
the Bush-administration. That it is responsible for crimes against peace
and the crimes against international law and the war crimes that come
with it; for crimes against human rights and for crimes against the
planet; for the organised theft and plunder of the resources of the
world. On these levels the politics of president Bush are considered by
the protesters and a large part of the Belgian and European public as
the worst possible scenario that America, as a world leader, can write
out to the planet.
Continuing Accountability
Kelly Greene
April 21 - May 17, 2022
Artlab Gallery
The Artlab Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition titled “Continuing Accountability” by current Indigenous Artist-In-Residence Kelly Greene. Presented in partnership with the Office of Indigenous Initiatives and the Department of Arts and Humanities, this exhibit brings together work completed by Greene over the course of her nearly thirty year artistic career.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
This exhibit is a continuation of my exhibit “Accountability” that was briefly on display at McIntosh Gallery for a week in March, 2020 before everything shut down. But “Accountability” has another meaning besides referring to the previous exhibit, as this word was and is the premise for both shows, since it encompasses the concepts of the artworks.
Some topics include alternative viewpoints of historic occurrences once viewed as celebratory by most, though now wondering when history books will be changed. And since recent revelations have been made of resulting conditions from enforced ownership, we may question how reparation can be made.
Yet despite it all, somehow Indigenous cultures, traditions, and languages are still alive. Although they’ve struggled to remain alive, the onus to pass knowledge from one generation to the next is imperative so nothing more will be lost.
Moreover, it is the responsibility all humans must now offer to care for our Earth, our Mother, who has endured much devastation especially during the past century after the industrial revolution and the rise of technological advancements. We are now in a position to make drastic changes to ensure that the future may somehow be free from the current conditions we’re experiencing, resulting from us making strides without heed of repercussions.
My hope is we’ll be able to outrun the machine we’ve created.
Kelly Greene is a multi-media artist whose work includes painting, sculpture, installation, and photography. She is of Mohawk-Oneida-Sicilian ancestry, a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve, and a descendant of the Turtle Clan.
Greene has lived in London, Ontario since 1989 where she obtained a BFA from the University of Western Ontario. She began her visual art studies at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where she moved with her family when she was a child.
She has exhibited in Canada and the United States for over thirty years in solo and group exhibits, primarily at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario but also Banff, Alberta; Vancouver, B.C.; Montreal, Quebec; Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Toronto, and London, Ontario; Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Howes Cave, New York. Her work is in numerous public and private collections, and in 2012 and 2015 she was commissioned to complete two permanent outdoor installations at the Woodland Cultural Centre. She has been awarded grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council and was most recently awarded the first Indigenous Artist in Residence at Western University in 2021.
Her art focuses primarily on environmental and political topics, as well as revealing stereotypes that are still prevalent towards Indigenous cultures, using ironic humour when possible. Recognizing the impact colonization has had on our Earth and the First People who have always lived on the land now known as Canada, Greene specifically refers to the Haldimand Treaty granted to the people of Six Nations, as well as the Mohawk Institute Residential School, or “Mush Hole”, where her beautiful Grandma attended in the 1920’s. Another concern is Colony Collapse Disorder, or the current plight of bees vanishing due to pesticides and monoculture. The ever-alarming condition of our planet has inspired Greene to create works that represent our Mother Earth as human, appealing to our species’ egocentricity, hoping empathy will be instilled and respect given so future generations will continue to be revived and thrive.

Miatta Mulbah is currently an accountapreneur with the Accountability Lab. In Liberia, many young girls engage in commercial sex in order to survive or to pay for school. Miatta’s vision is “a Liberia where teenage girls are not exposed or forced into harmful practices that endanger their health or their future.” Through her organization Leemah, Miatta is using music and street theater to advocate for and raise awareness among girls in Montserrado and Margibi counties, ages 11-25, who face challenges of sexual violence, abuse, poverty. Leemah strives to change the mindsets vulnerable Liberian girls, and the broader community, to understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens and to rethink their future.

Christopher Lestochi, district commander, establish communications using a satellite phone March 27 after the initial evacuation of the district headquarters building on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson JBER (official) during the first day of the Alaska Shield Exercise. A simulated 9.2 earthquake hit Southcentral Alaska in the morning hours of the work day followed by a series of aftershocks. The accountability of the Alaska District’s workforce was the first priority following the devastating event. Per the exercise, it was determined that the building was unsafe and the district’s alternate Emergency Operations Center was activated in the logistics office down the street.
