It was less than a month ago when London saw the opening of Britain's largest casino – Aspers, at Westfield Stratford City – which thrashed predictions, launching with four times as many visitors than expected in its opening weekend. But further up north in Blackpool, casino opening hasn't gone quite as swimmingly.
The re-opening of the new Paris Casino was set to take place tomorrow night; however, the date has been postponed because its owner was run over by a bus on Christmas eve – exactly two years after the original casino burnt to the ground. Creepy.
Pierre Coulon was struck by a bus on Bloomfield Road when he was crossing the Promenade outside Blackpool's new seafront wedding chapel – Festival House – at 9.25pm, The Blackpool Gazette reported. Suffering a back injury, as well as the expected cuts and bruises, the incident is yet another stroke of bad luck for Coulon, who suffered the loss of the first Paris Casino on Station Road, South Blackpool when it burnt down in January 2009. And they say bad luck comes in threes, let's hope they're wrong!
The casino opening has been postponed until further notice.
In other casino news, Ohio is due to see its first casino come March, it has been revealed, after voters approved the first of four on their way in Cleveland.
The first gambling arena to open in the state – The Horseshoe Casino Cleveland – will operate on four floors of a department store overlooking Public Square, downtown, Associated Press reported.
The casino will also have 2,000 or more slot machines, dozens of table games and a 30-table poker room. Instead of tacky entertainment, the venue will provide amenities by connecting with downtown Cleveland attractions such as Cleveland based sports teams, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and its theatre scene, said its manager, Marcus Glover.
Casino news this week has also seen an update on the Kraft and Wynn casino deal.
Local leaders of Foxborough have scheduled a debate for the proposed billion dollar gambling resort for tomorrow night, FoxnewsBoston has reported.
The town selectmen will be discussing the proposed casino that Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Las Vegas mogul Steve Wynn want to build on Route 1, and have even asked Wynn himself to appear next month to present his initial design plans.
However, many Foxborough residents are against the idea. But there's always some isn't there? According to the report, some want a public referendum on gambling before the board considers any specific casino plan. What do you think? Should it be put to a referendum?

This morning, I'd like to challenge you to make a new card by stamping and heat embossing with a colored embossing powder on Vellum paper. Please don't link a card that you've made previously for this blog candy challenge. Where would the challenge be in that? LOL!
Details on challenge:
1. Link your card in my comment section by Thursday, January 1st.
2. If you upload your card to SCS or PCP, please use the keyword jfvellum08 so we can see them linked together.
3. You can use any company's stamps you'd like to use on your challenge card.
On Friday, January 2nd I'll pick a random winner to receive 2 of my favorite tinsel embossing powder bottles (snowflake & black diamonds), a Euphoria Basic Grey 6x6 paper pack, and a Kaiser Kraft pack of rhinestones and pearls.
Here's my sample card....
Today's card is a bright cheerful one - perfect for a girl of any age! When I was making it, I was thinking of a teenage girl, but certainly it could be sent to any of my girlfriends. Because we're in winter mode here in the midwest, I'm particularily drawn to bright colors right now!
To soften the bright pattern of this Basic Grey Euphoria patterned paper, I put a sheet of vellum over it. I stamped the butterflies from GinaK's Take Flight stamp set in versamark and embossed with Ranger's Snowflake Tinsel embossing powder.
This stuff is so cool - we carry it in Gina's store, but she doesn't have it online yet. The powder is white with chunky irridescent glitter in it. Then, I tore the bottom of the vellum to add a little more visual interest to it.
Then I used Fiskars flower border punch for the lavendar layer and to highlight the flowers a little more, I put a little lavendar rhinestone in between each flower.
I hope you'll have time to play along with my challenge! I can't wait to see what you'll come up with!

Amarilis R. / Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner
Love it! Soft and shiny hair are my reason to keep buying it! The shampoo and rinse are my favorite products so far and this is my second time buying it. Definitely a MUST to have at home. I can even use it to wash my kids hair.
Brooke G. / Coffee Scrub
Truly The Best!! This scrub is very luxurious and smells so nice. I love the fact that it's so effective for your body, but gentle enough to use on your face. I use it before I shave my legs, and I get a nice, smooth shave that leaves my legs feeling soft and moisturized afterward. When I used it on my face, my skin felt soft all day. The scent isn't overwhelming at all like some coffee scrubs can be. I really like the packaging, too. Overall, this product is amazing. Perfect gift for any occasion!
Brooke G. / Anti-Cellulite Massage Oil
This is a great product! I got it for massaging sore muscles. It has a cooling feel to it that relieves aches and pains, and it absorbs so quickly, it didn't leave me feeling greasy. This is definitely one I'll keep on hand. I love it!

A risk factor is something that raises the chance you will get a disease or health problem.
You can get headaches with or without the risk factors below. But, the more you have, the greater your chances of getting headaches. If you have many risks, ask your doctor what you can do to lower them.
Risk Factors for Tension Headache
Stress, tiredness, or anger can cause tension headaches. Other risks are smoking and not getting enough exercise or sleep.
Some health problems are linked to tension headaches and tightening of the muscles in the neck, face, and head. These are:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Teeth clenching or grinding
- Gum chewing in children
- Sleep apnea
- Arthritis in the neck
- Being overweight
Risk Factors for Migraine
Triggers can differ in each person. Some are:
- Skipping meals
- Too much or too little sleep
- Stressful events
- Smoking
- Depression or anxiety
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Loud or sudden noises
Some foods can trigger a migraine. Keep a food diary to help you learn which foods or food additives may cause your headaches. They may be:
- Aspartame
- Caffeine or caffeine withdrawal
- Alcohol
- Chocolate
- Aged cheeses
- Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
- Some fruits and nuts
- Fermented or pickled items
- Cured or processed meats
Some medicines may trigger a migraine, such as:
- Birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy
- Headache medicine used on a daily or near daily basis
Migraines are more common in teens.
These headaches are more common in women.
These headaches seem to run in families.
These headaches may be started by blood vessels overreacting to things like:
- Menstruation
- Tiredness
- Changes in altitude, weather, or time-zone
- Strong lights
- Perfumes or other smells
Risk Factors for Cluster Headache
Cluster headaches seem to happen more often in people whosmoke.
Having head surgery or a head injury raises your risk.
They are more common in people who are 20 to 50 years old.
They are more common in men.
Risk Factors for Sinus Headache
Some health problems increase nose secretions and cause swelling in the tissues lining the nose passages. These changes lead to stuffiness. The passages get blocked and normal drainage can't happen. When this happens, the sinuses may get infected with bacteria or, rarely, fungus. The swollen tissues or infection may cause pain and pressure.
Health problems that increase sinus pressure and your risk of sinus headache are:
- Allergies
- Persistent cold or upper respiratory infection
- Ear infections
- Nasal polyps
- Nasal problems, such as a deviated septum
- Cystic fibrosis
- Problems with the immune system

You've invested a great deal in doing the necessary research for your product, you've invested a great deal in ensuring you manufacture the same product in huge quantities, and then you invest a great deal in advertising your product to spread awareness. You do all of these activities to ideally hope that the customer picks your product from that supermarket shelf, and not your competitors' product. However, you may be doing all of the above-stated activities flawlessly and that might still not translate into an all-important 'sale'. Why is that? It can be that your product didn't sell itself well amidst its rivals. One major reason why you're unable to sell your product could be because of a flawed (or non-existent) labeling strategy. Here are tips to help you design a better label!
'Narrative' – Share a Story
Go against the grain and do something different. Yes, while it's important to present facts about the qualities of your product, other details about time and place of manufacturing, your logo, etc., you can also try to build an intrigue around your brand (or product) in order to tempt the customer into picking it up. Consider sharing the summarized story of your brand in a sentence or two. Or, alternatively, consider sharing the story of a customer who tried (and loved) your product. It's unusual, it's witty, and it's intimate – it's a wonderful marketing strategy any label provider would approve of.
'Aesthetic' – Play with Colors
You may be witty with your message and provide an excellent product, but that still won't translate into a 'sale' if your customer doesn't find your label aesthetically pleasing. Come to think of it, would you personally buy a product with an awkwardly designed or cheap looking label? Thoughtfully pick the label's colours while keeping in mind what makes sense when applied to the nature of your product. Colour is a critical element of subconscious communication. Furthermore, try to match the colour of your label to the image and font you're opting for. Take a look at your closest competitors to seek inspiration.
'Sensibility' – Space it Out
All wise custom labeling companies are consistently skeptical of 'adding too much' and cramping the entirety of the label. Be picky with the font that you use, the size of the font that you use, the size of the image you're adding, and the size of the label itself, in relation to your product. You must do all of these things to ensure you have a well-spaced out label that leaves enough empty, breathing space. You don't want to suffocate the customer with too much text or imagery.
'Expertise' – Seek a Specialist
You trust your product and its brilliance, as you rightly see yourself as an expert in that particular category or segment of the market. Similarly, you must rely on the expertise of reputed label printing services with their capacity to print and design labels. These specialists have been in the business for too long to make obvious mistakes. They will be most qualified to understand what works and what doesn't, and understand what the consumers like. Contact us today so we can help you get the perfect label for your product.

Former Belgian prime minister
Since 2004, when the European Union was enlarged to include many of the former communist states of Central and Eastern Europe, its regional funding mechanism has been heavily geared toward ameliorating economic inequalities between old and "new" member states. To ensure cohesion within the EU, overcoming disparities between countries and improving trade, transport, and communications infrastructure throughout the bloc have long been seen as critical.
The EU's cohesion policy is in fact its most visible initiative. Investments made through the Cohesion Fund promote regional development, support innovation, improve education, and expand digitalization and transport networks, and sustain programs that improve the single market by boosting growth, productivity, and specialization. The cohesion policy benefits citizens, local communities, and businesses across...

Everyone has some regrets in life. What differs is how people deal with them. When you regret something you did – or didn't do – in the past, do you engage in wistful Coulda Woulda Shoulda thinking? Do you fret about how things might have turned out differently 'if only' you would have taken a different course of action? If so, you're hurting yourself.
Please note that I'm not talking about things you've done for which you need to apologize and make amends. If there's something you can do to address what happened in the past, by all means do so. Instead, today's topic refers to those decisions or actions you've made in the past about which you can do nothing to 'fix' the situation.
There are two main types of Coulda Woulda Shoulda situations – those involving things you did (decisions you made, actions you took, opportunities you attempted, your perceived 'mistakes', etc. – "if only I wouldn't have done X…") and those you didn't do (missed opportunities, paths you didn't follow, things you didn't say when you had the chance, and so forth – "if only I would have done Y…"). No matter what has occurred in the past, any Coulda Woulda Shoulda thinking about it takes a hefty toll on you and those around you.
Costs of Coulda Woulda Shoulda
1. Wasted time, energy, emotion & attention.
You can't change the past so anything you spend dwelling on it is squandered. Period.
2. Creates a 'victim' or 'blame' mentality.
Whether you are blaming yourself or others, you're fostering a 'victim' mentality that is unpleasant and often painful.
3. Devalues all that you have now.
The more you're focused on the past, the more you're missing the present...and the opportunities to improve things now.
4. Makes you more negative.
The more you beat yourself up for what you did or didn't do in the past, the more you kvetch about what might have been, the more negative you're being in the here and now.
5. Hurts your relationships.
Do you enjoy listening to others bemoan the past? No one else does either. The more you express 'Coulda Woulda Shoulda' to others, the less delighted they are. It's especially frustrating for people who care about you – they are helpless to make you feel better. The more you dwell on things no one can change, the worse they feel.
Yet a lot of creative people engage in Coulda Woulda Shoulda thinking…so they must be getting some apparent benefits from it…
Apparent Benefits of Coulda Woulda Shoulda
1. It's easy.
Coulda Woulda Shoulda means you are reliving the past, over and over – which is much easier than (a) trying to learn from what happened or (b) trying new approaches to those situations.
2. Saves you from taking risks (or any actions) today.
"Oh sure I *could* submit that article/reel/painting/proposal to X…but it didn't work out last time I tried, so what's the point of trying again?" Coulda Woulda Shoulda thinking is a false justification for succumbing to fear or pessimism or laziness. It can paralyze your actions, squash your creativity and stifle your progress.
3. Protects you from further harm or disappointments.
The helpful part of your psyche uses Coulda Woulda Shoulda thinking to spare you repeating past painful experiences…yet by interfering with your current activities it is disrupting your present success and happiness.
4. Self-punishment
Do you believe that if you make yourself feel bad enough about what happened for long enough, that you will be absolved somehow? It's true that only you can forgive yourself. And that you need to forgive yourself to move on. You can do so now…or you can do so after twenty years of Coulda Would Shoulda self-flagellation. The only difference will be twenty years of feeling miserable…unnecessarily.
5. Backhanded way of bragging about your abilities, while never (again) putting them to test.
"I coulda been a contendah!" "I was rejected by Spielberg!" "The Random House editor loved my book but the bean-counters on the editorial committee nixed the offer." This lets you and others see that you have been very, very close to greatness…once upon a time.
Coulda Woulda Shoulda thinking can be very damaging to creative people. We'll discuss ways to overcome it in Part Two of this article.
1. What causes you Coulda Woulda Shoulda thinking? What regrets have you been holding onto for a long time?
2. What does Coulda Woulda Shoulda cost you?
3. What apparent benefits do you get from Coulda Woulda Shoulda thinking? What are their hidden costs?
4. Turn to Part 2 of this article to review Ways to Overcome Coulda Woulda Shoulda.

This was definitely a proud purchase. For a long time i've been eyeing on a particular 3-tier stand from Zone, really elegant-looking, yet tagged with a price too hefty to consider. Not until a trip to IKEA one day, this one appeared as an absolute steal! Resistance would have been an infelicity.
Mini Fruit Tartlets dominated the upper tier. An assortment of glazed berries and fruits adorned the petite tart shells, filled with thick vanilla custard.
Taking the centre stage was a duo of black & white. I frosted the Chocolate Walnut Brownie Bites with a glossy dark chocolate fudge to enrich the cocoa rush. And then paired a milder Raspberry Crumble Cake, buttery and tangy, to neutralize the cocoa richness.
Down at the bottom, glasses of Vanilla Panna Cotta Cups took shelter. The cream custard's extremely soft and fragile, topped with homemade raspberry coulis and berry garnishes.I would be improvising and improving on this one, as this is my first attempt.
Individual slices of Bailey's Tiramisu come sponge-spiked with my favourite liqeour. An eggless version, very much lighter than the commercial ones, made to my preference. Slovenly garnished with an untidy gooseberry, hah.
I stood around to introduce the petites and gather feedback from the all-girl group. Fortunately, comments were on the positive side, and i'm so relieved that they enjoyed the desserts.
Apart from the familiar repeats (Raspberry Cumble Cake and Fruit Tartlets), i baked Disney Butter Cookies upon Mum's request. I am suprised by how a hit they were, as three rounds of refills were all cleared up. Disney faces can sure do wonders! lol.
I haven't been into logcakes research yet but I decided to give Chocolate Logcakes a try this year. Nothing elaborate here.. simply sandwiched chocolate buttercream in a chocolate swiss roll, and then unsystematically coated it with a milk chocolate frosting to make it resemble a log. Definitely chocolately and oops, frosting's too sweet.
My first official business deal! Mum placed an order of about 200+ disney cookies as christmas gifts for her colleagues, complete with packaging and labels. Good thing they have a longer shelf-life, so i was able to rush them out earlier in the week. Was a hectic bake-day for me.

Photoshoot location: Downtown Hamilton
Top: Urban Planet (Here)
Jeans: YMI (Here)
Booties: Sirens (Here) & (Here)
Purse: Kate Spade (Here)
Jacket: Dynamite (Here)
Hey lovelies! Things have been crazy busy these days now that the holidays are coming down so fast! I'm sure you all are feeling the time crunch with November slipping by so fast! I've been feeling rundown on and off these days with this crazy weather and work has been incredibly busy. So I am trying to balance and take a little break from doing outfit blogging to focus on posting holiday gift guides and what to wear for holiday parties. Fun stuff coming! Of course, I'll take some time to myself to unwind. This weekend I plan on putting up my Christmas decorations so I can relax in December, get back in the gym to get in better shape to boost my energy and do some gift shopping for friends and family!
Anyways, enough about holiday stuff! Lol. I wanted to share with you that I recently bought this choker knitted sweater (Here) at Urban Planet for a reasonable price! l consider this a sexy and feminine sweater. I love the cut of it and how it's more of an oval shape at the waist area as opposed to straight around the waist that tends to make your waist/hips look wider. This oval shape gives a sliming look and makes your torso look longer. I always look for that type of detail when buying clothes like with jeans. I only buy jeans that makes me look slimmer and make my legs look longer. I am only 5'7 ft which is a pretty average height. People always think I'm skinner than I actually am which is because I wear clothes that give off a slim look – it creates the perfect illusion.
These jeans (Here) I am wearing here do not really give a slim look especially the butt area, since the pockets are smaller these jeans are made to give your butt a bit of a curvy look. I liked these jeans because of how they looked on me – giving a sliming look on the thighs and leg area. The jeans are by YMI and it says "wanna betta butt" lol. These jeans would be perfect for a body type that is super skinny with not much curves. They are so comfortable to wear! I like the skretchy fabric which is good to wear if you are feeling a bit bloated during that time of the month (Ugh!) I noticed that as I've gotten older now I have been paying more attention when looking for jeans. Back in the day I would just buy them based on the style, regardless of whether they were comfortable or not. I prefer the stretchy fabric that feels comfortable and looks good at the same time!
So ladies tell me, are you like this in some ways? Do you prefer clothes make you look slimmer or more curvy?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a relatively common medical condition that affects between one to five percent of the population. OSA is more common in men than women and is more frequent in people who are overweight and / or aging. This condition is best described as breathing that begins and stays during sleep. Periods of "no breathing" activity are called apneas. Partial obstruction of respiration is called hypopneas. These stops or obstacles occur when the muscles in the throat relax during sleep. This causes the airways to narrow or close. As many as five of these episodes per hour of sleep are considered normal. When more than five episodes occur per hour of sleep, a diagnosis of sleep apnea is usually made. Patients with severe OSA have more than one apnea or hypopnea every minute as they sleep. While these breathing breaks usually last between 20 and 30 seconds, they will sometimes be up to one minute. When breathing ends, oxygen levels drop in the blood, sometimes at dangerously low levels. The brain senses this decrease of oxygen and hurry short-term person from sleep. At this point, the muscles in the back of the neck become more active and keep the airway open so that respiration can be resumed. These wakings make it very difficult to have a good night's sleep.
Soft rhythm snoring is considered to have no significant adverse health effects. But when snoring becomes high with changes in its intensity, breathing may be impaired and sleep disturbed. Close observation often shows a break when breathing in periods when the individual seems to struggle to breathe. These episodes usually end when the sleeper rushes for a moment and gives a loud lull sound as breathing resumes. Sometimes people will wake up from sleep and feel breathless. When these episodes happen, fatigue and sleepiness during the day are results. First, this problem can be mild, with the falling asleep asleep easily as you read or watch television.
As the apnea gets more frequent, it becomes harder to stay awake while doing active things like driving a car or working at work. It is well known that many patients have been involved in motor accidents. Because sleep deprivation is very stressful, affected people may become annoying, undergoing personality changes or having difficulty with memory. Sometimes they will experience headaches in the morning as well as sexual dysfunction. Sleep apnea is often associated with high blood pressure (high blood pressure). When apnea is severe, heart failure may occur. There are also higher incidences of ischemic heart disease and stroke in people with OSA.
Most people with sleep apnea are significantly overweight. Nasal loading is often present, which means that breathing is done through the mouth. This gives dryness and soreness in the mouth of the morning. Any condition that contributes to the decrease in the back of the throat, such as enlarged tonsils or adenoids, favors the development of sleep apnea.
Ask your doctor if you have high snoring or excessive sleepiness today. The doctor gets then you refer to a sleep disturbance center where experts will thoroughly evaluate the problem. This usually involves sleep monitoring overnight. A test called polysomnography is made to count the number of irregular respiratory events and measure their duration. The test notes the oxygen levels in the blood and will tell if irregularity in the heartbeat continues with reduced breathing. The amount and quality of sleep is tested as well as the effect of sleep positions on breathing.
Before the test, cables will be attached to your body to record brainwave activity, eye movements, muscle activity, heart rate and movement in the chest and abdomen. The oxygen content in your blood will be recorded from a device cut on your ear or placed on your finger. A microphone is usually used to record your snoring pattern. There is no pain or discomfort during the study.
In addition to polysomnography overnight, a thorough examination of the nose, mouth, throat and neck is performed. If surgery is considered, radios are usually recommended in the upper respiratory tract.
Effective treatment is available to almost all patients. For patients with snoring and mild sleep apnea, a conservative approach to therapy is recommended. The following suggestions are often useful:
Avoid alcohol and medicines as tranquilizers and sleeping pills. These drugs relax the muscles in the back of the throat and push the breath.
Sleep on your side or in your stomach instead of on your back. Sleeping on the back can cause heavy and soft gums to collapse towards the back of the throat and block the airway.

Make The Most Out Of Your Commercial Real Estate Experience
Given current conditions in the commercial real estate market, getting into it can be trickier than ever. A little research ahead of time can go a long way towards protecting buyers and sellers from the risks involved. This article presents a few tips that should be of interest to anyone entering the commercial real estate field.
Short sale auctions may seem to be quite alluring, but prepare yourself to lose out on the house by being over bid at the last minute. There are many people who have lost out on a home at the very last minute for slightly more money than what they had bid.
Commercial real estate can be a great long term investment. When looking for a property that you can rent out as apartments, look into properties that have at least ten or more units, in order to maximize your profits. The more units that a property has, the cheaper each individual unit is.
Commercial Real Estate
Keep in mind that commercial real estate takes longer to sell, renovate and purchase. It is still a great way to make a nice profit when buying and selling it, but always keep in mind that it is a longer process than buying and selling residential real estate would be.
Commercial real estate is a great investment for anyone in the real estate game. A good thing to remember is that it is a process that takes longer to get through. You should research, and get qualified for a commercial loan before even looking for a property to invest in.
An important tip to remember with rental real estate is to get the entire contract and terms in writing. This is important because this is your property and if anything goes wrong during the duration of rental, you want as much on paper to back you up as possible.
To find the right commercial property, make sure you choose an optimal location. Choosing the right location could be the best way to ensure that those you wish to be your customers are able to see you clearly, access you easily, and find you even when they aren't looking for you.
Real Estate Listings
Determine whether there is adequate access to and from your business for thoroughfares and deliveries you anticipate. There could be very large vehicles needing to access your business, and if the access to and from the property is not sufficient, you want to consider finding another option in commercial real estate listings.
Consider detention space as you are determining the space offered by the commercial real estate listings you view. A detention is often required for controlling rain water run-off and other run-off, which could take a great deal of space from the overall property – as much as 15% of land you need for business operations.
Learning more about commercial real estate is a valuable use of the time of both buyers and sellers. Hopefully this article provided a few points worthy of consideration. The better informed people that are entering the commercial market are more likely to find the best deals in buying and selling.…

Most years I write about what I'm planning to do for my birthday, what I have already done for my birthday, or why I'm (yet again) lamenting my birthday.
Now, for something completely different. My birthday just passed. It was a nice day/weekend. However, what I'm contemplating at this time are the attempts and accomplishments that have taken place since my last birthday.
Impending Graduation
I am currently starting my last semester of school. In the fall, I will finally earn my Associate's Degree. It took one extra semester. It's been more work than I expected. There have been doubts, but I will do this. Eventually (hopefully sooner, rather than later), I will then start on my Bachelor's.
Life as a Disney Cast Member
The reason that I am one semester behind my peers is that I took a leave of absence last fall to participate in the Disney College Program. It was the most difficult, but also one of the most amazing times of my life. It wasn't easy. There was a lot of hard work and restrictions. The benefits, experiences, and friendships definitely made it well worth it. WDW is now considered one of my past homes to me. I don't know if you ever truly leave Disney behind, after working there. I'm always itching and contemplating going back in some capacity. Only time will tell.
My love life has changed in leaps and bounds since this time last year. It's basically unrecognizable. I'm happy.
I was on a huge fitness kick at this time last year. However, I love food. I'm not fond of structured exercise on the daily. I will most likely always struggle with my disordered eating, because I am human. Note: This is more difficult when you are not walking 10-12 miles on the daily, while working at the most magical place on Earth.
Comfort Zone
I can now walk out of my comfort zone. I still suffer from social anxiety/generalized anxiety and am on the spectrum. Yet, I work to overcome/work with these issues daily. Disney definitely helped with this. So, yes I'm still incredibly uncomfortable, but no I'm not going to always just fall back, stand down, or hide. I'm going to strive.
Embracing MY Interests
I am currently embracing both my nerdiness and inner princess to their full extents. It's not that I'm not worried about others, but I matter more. I definitely regret more of the things that I haven't done in life, than those that I have. I play Dungeons and Dragons and wear my Minnie ears, deal with it.
Body Realization
My body can handle a lot, but it doesn't mean that I should push it so hard. I worked and played hard in Orlando and to a different extent in PA, but this isn't something I need to be doing on the daily. I ended up in the ICU with severe dehydration in April. I do not recommend that. I'm just happy that it happened here, while I was with family.
I, finally (after 9 years of attending cons!), cosplayed both last year and this year, at Philly Wizard World. It takes balls, but I did it.
And now to make the next year even better.

Working women in the UAE now has the same level of gender equality compared with their counterparts in western countries, a survey by Bayt.com and YouGov has found.
Women in the UAE now face no gender bias when it comes to promotions, the survey claimed. Over 55% of female respondents said job offers are based on experience and qualifications with gender playing no role in the decision.
Close to 40% respondents stated that they have never been asked questions that made them feel discriminated during interviews, it said.
In the UAE, 43% of women said their chance of being promoted depends entirely on job performance, and gender plays no role. In the Middle East, 59% of respondents said appreciation at the workplace is based on performance alone without regard to gender.
The survey results show a positive direction towards gender balance in the region, especially where it comes to opportunities for promotions, according to Suha Mardelli Haroun, regional sales director, Bayt.com.
Of the women who work in mixed-gender environments, nearly 87% are comfortable with it, while more than half 57% said they are extremely comfortable.
Further, 40% of respondents stated that they are not treated less favorably or discriminated against as women in the workplace.
While 65% of women surveyed in the UAE said that all employees work same hours, 43% believe they have the same opportunities for promotions and career growth, and 26% believe they receive the same salaries.
Is it all that good?
However, many participants said there are challenges too.
According to them, the top three challenges that women in the region face in their work environment are less opportunity for job promotions (51%), stressful and demanding work environment (39%), and a lack of sufficient job training (35%).
Data for the survey was collected online from November 6 to 22, with 888 female respondents from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria taking part.
The survey also flies in the face of multiple other reports on the gender gap in the region, including the UAE.
According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2016 by The World Economic Forum (WEF), while many policies focused on improving conditions for women have been enacted in the Gulf states, they remain in the bottom half of the table globally when it comes to gender equality.
Overall, Gulf countries stood in the lower part of the high-income table when countries were split based on average income.
UAE Gender Balance Council vice chairwoman Mona Al Marri also recently pointed out that the private sector lagged behind female participation in the country's public sector, as well as at Cabinet level.
She stressed that it was time for the corporate world in the region to rewrite gender playbooks so that they can tap fresh perspectives and ideas from women.
Women accounted for 66% of UAE's public-sector workforce and 30% of decision-making roles in Dubai's public sector. However, women account for fewer than 2% of board members of publicly listed companies in the country, according to Arab Women Organisation, she pointed out.

Inspect Your HouseStep one toward protecting your property from pests would be to shut down any places where they may be in a position to sneak in.

In addition wish to make sure that all weather-stripping around doors and windows is within good shape, pests will get make their way in through the littlest of cracks. Insects often make their way into the house via vents and utility pipes, so ensure that around washers, dryers and plumbing are sealed properly.

Do Some Spring CleaningClutter provides pests with an ideal spot to hide and reproduce. In your property, remove any piles of leaves or other debris that could have collected on the ground. Sweep the awnings around your home periodically, these are popular areas for spider webs and hornets nests. It's essential that you stay aware of any areas in your yard where water has a tendency to collect, especially during the rainy season. Standing water often becomes house to mosquito larva. Mosquitos are not only aggravating, they are able to carry harmful diseases as well. Ensure you scan your garden frequently for any areas where water might have collected, such as for instance in pots, bird baths, and pet dishes. In your garage, stuff like cardboard boxes are popular breeding grounds for roaches, silverfish, and other pests. If at all possible, avoid having any cardboard in your garage or storage sheds altogether. Plastic containers are a good alternative and will protect your items from both pests and water damage and mold.

I can only imagine the fear and uncertainty of facing cancer in 1971, and the added anxiety of having it afflict your child. At the time of my diagnosis—Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)—my parents were faced with all of these.
I was only four years old, life expectancy was just six months, and the survival rate was roughly 10%. My parents brought me to Memorial Sloan Kettering for experimental chemotherapy treatment. There were no answers. But there was hope.
I was given three all-chemotherapy protocols—each demonstrated success for a time, and then failed. In their unique team approach to patient care, our doctors collaborated quickly with researchers to improve the treatments each time. The fourth protocol that MSK developed and administered finally cured my disease. It is the one that hospitals still use today.
My seven-year treatment period was made possible by the enduring love of my family, the extraordinary talent at MSK, and generous funding from people whom I will never know.
I am dedicated to Fred's Team because, "to whom much has been given, much is expected." In our darkest hour, my family had arguably the best place in the world to go. And in my first steps toward reciprocity as a healthy young adult, I found inexplicable joy in being a fundraising runner, helping establish a Chair in Neuro-Oncology honoring New York City Marathon co-founder, Fred Lebow.
Then MSK deepened its focus on underfunded Pediatric Cancers. They learned of my history and involvement with Fred's Team, and felt my story could help define their new mission. Under the direction of Dr. Richard O'Reilly, Chair of the Department of Pediatrics, The Aubrey Fund was created in 1997 to ensure that MSK's researchers have the resources they need to advance their lifesaving work.
In Fred's Team, I also find a mental sanctuary. With each mile, I think about members of our family and dear friends whose outcomes were not the same as mine. And I am invigorated by the progress that's made every day because of each runner and the people who support us.

June 2017
The following are the NTSB reports of aviation accidents that have occurred in Arizona from late April, 2017, through late May, 2017. We will use this detailed accident information to develop safety programs and briefings to help pilots learn from the mistakes being made by others, and then take the action necessary to prevent similar accidents from happening to them.
From a flight safety standpoint, this month's report has both bad news and good news. The bad news is that there was a significant jump in the number of accidents reported, five to be exact, but the good news is that none of them involved fatalities. They only involved minor or no injuries, but unfortunately some fine airplanes did get seriously damaged. I'm not sure what is going on with the NTSB, but they have started the routine of publishing an accident notice giving only the basic information, the date, the location, the airplane information, and type of injuries, fatal or nonfatal. They state a preliminary report was prepared and its date, but they don't provide any information from the preliminary report. The report details show up several days later. Of the five reported accidents this period, two are this case. The following are the five reported accidents and the information that has been published to date.
Accident Date: Saturday, March 11, 2017
Preliminary Report Dated: 3/16/17
Title 14 CFR Part 91
Location: Gila Bend
Aircraft Type: Piper PA28
Injuries: Nonfatal
A Preliminary Report had been prepared, but the report details were not yet released.
Accident Date: Saturday, April 1, 2017
Findings Report Dated: 4/3/17
Title 14 CFR Part 91
Location: Wilcox
Aircraft Type: Baking Duce (Experimental Biplane)
Injuries: 1 Minor
The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that during the landing roll as he pulled the power to idle and lowered the tail, he raised the flaps and the airplane encountered a "sudden and strong wind" that caused the airplane to weather-vane. Subsequently, the airplane veered off the right side of the runway, the main landing gear collapsed, and the airplane came to rest nose down. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both right and left wings and both lift struts.
The pilot reported that there were no pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Accident Date: Thursday, April 20, 2017
Preliminary Report Dated: 5/22/17
Title 14 CFR Part 91
Location: Goodyear
Aircraft Type: Diamond DA 40 NG
Injuries: 1 Uninjured
On April 20, 2017, at 0719 MST, a single-engine Diamond Aircraft DA 40 NG airplane lost engine power during the takeoff from the Phoenix Goodyear Airport (GYR). The student pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. The airplane sustained substantial damage.
According to the student pilot, he performed a preflight check in accordance with the airplane flight manual; it included a check of the ECU, with no discrepancies noted. Taxi and takeoff were normal until about 400 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot noticed a change in the engine sound. When he looked at the engine load indicator, it read 35%, he then tried to cycle the power level to see if he had any control, but the load indication remained at 35%. Shortly thereafter, the pilot reported the annunciator lights for the ECU illuminate; ECU A FAIL and ECU B FAIL.
The pilot stated that he did not believe there was sufficient altitude to turn back to the airport. Per the flight schools standard operating procedures (SOP), below 1,000 feet it is advised to not turn back to the airport. The student pilot maneuvered to a field to the right of him, however, he stated that his altitude was low, and he did not think the airplane was going to be able to clear power lines. He decided to go under the power lines, and as the airplane went under the power lines, it struck the bottom wire. There was a white flash in the cockpit, and the pilot stated that he tried to get the airplane to a field for landing. When the airplane touched down, it bounced, and then eventually struck a ditch. He switched off the fuel pumps, opened the canopy, and exited the airplane.
Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the local area solo instructional flight and no flight plan had been filed.
Accident Date: Thursday, April 27, 2017
Preliminary Report Dated: 5/11/17
Title 14 CFR Part 91
Location: Coolidge
Aircraft Type: Schweizer 269C (Helicopter)
Injuries: 1 Minor
On April 27, 2017, about 0945 MST, a Schweizer 269C sustained substantial damage subsequent to a hard landing near Coolidge. The private pilot sustained minor injuries. The cross-country instructional flight departed Falcon Field Airport (FFZ), Mesa, about 0915 with a planned destination of Coolidge.
The pilot reported that it was a training flight and that he was working towards a commercial certificate. The pilot reported that in level flight he noticed a change in the sound of the engine. He then noticed that the RPM dual tachometer was below the normal limit, and attempted to correct the anomaly by increasing the throttle with the twist grip. He noted there was no response to the RPM and he attempted to make a landing in the open desert. He flared just before touchdown, and the helicopter landed hard and rolled onto its right side. The pilot noted that he did not observe the rotor/engine tachometer needles split prior to landing.
Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan had been filed.
Accident Date: Saturday, May 20, 2017
Preliminary Report Dated: 5/22/17
Title 14 CFR Part 91
Location: Casa Grande
Aircraft Type: Airtime Aircraft Inc. Cygnet
Injuries: Nonfatal
A Preliminary Report had been prepared, but the report details were not yet released.

Posts tagged 'St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank'
Credit Union Mergers Under Scrutiny
The banking industry likes to blame everything from the Ebola virus to the demise of the community bank on the fact that credit unions do not pay corporate taxes. So, I wasn't surprised that yesterday's article in the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) detailing the increase of credit unions "buying" banks included the usual boilerplate nonsense in which banking industry representatives ascribe the sharp increase in the trend to the credit union tax exemption. That being said, the trend is noteworthy and the dynamics that are fueling it are not going to end anytime soon. The important thing to keep in mind is that the increase is simply a reflection of larger trends impacting both credit unions and banks.
By the way, although I will be talking about credit unions buying banks, legally speaking, almost all of these transactions are not classic mergers, but purchase and assumptions in which the credit union agrees to buy specific assets owned by the bank.
First, the community bank is on the endangered species list. As the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis noted in this thoughtful analysis earlier this year, "In the current banking environment, there is a strong perception that bigger is better." That is not perception; it is reality when it comes to banking. Businesses are either growing or shrinking. There is no in between, and credit unions are not exempt from this reality. Volume affects everything, from the scope of services you can provide your members, to the price at which the services can be offered.
The consolidation that is taking place within the banking industry is nothing short of astounding. According to Forbes, "what is particularly concerning for smaller banks is that the top 25 banks grew credit by $49 billion, while the rest of the industry shrunk its asset base by $32 billion. Once again, the big are getting bigger." By the way, this trend is a direct result of Clinton era banking deregulation, which authorized interstate banking and put the community banks at the mercy of the behemoths, but it is so much easier to whine about the credit union tax exemption than it is to explain the unintended consequences of federal legislation.
Second, there is the cost of compliance. The bigger you are, the easier it is to absorb the cost of complying with the onslaught of Dodd Frank regulations. Look at the asset size of the banks merging with credit unions. Many of them are relatively small institutions, precisely the type of bank that is likely to grow frustrated by an increasingly competitive marketplace and a staff too small to meet its regulatory responsibilities.
Third, there has been a greater willingness on the part of state and federal credit union regulators to greenlight these acquisitions. In 2012, there was only one credit union purchase and assumption of a bank. That number has accelerated in part because of the willingness of regulators to be flexible in dealing with issues unique to credit unions, such as accounting for the portion of a bank's customer base which is outside of an acquiring credit union's field of membership. That is why the most interesting takeaway from yesterday's article was NCUA Chairman Hood's announcement that he would be proposing new regulations to better clarify the responsibilities of credit unions acquiring banks. Done properly, these regulations could provide a useful roadmap for everyone involved. Done improperly, they could put unnecessary hurdles in the way of a trend which helps community banks, credit unions, and their consumers.

Remember when Nicki Minaj appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in May and 'accidentally' let slip she was currently dating American singer Nas, but that their recent 'adult sleepover' didn't involve the you-know-what because she's 'celibate'?
'I'm chillin' right now. I'm celibate. I wanted to go a year without dating any man. I hate men. But, I might make an exception to the rule for him,' joked Nicki.
Well, it appears Minaj might have made a pretty big exception for the 43-year-old rapper, if her latest activities on Twitter are anything to go by.
Yesterday, the Trinidad and Tobago singer/rapper tweeted an emoji of a baby, causing uproar among her fans who are now convinced the star has a 'boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom', baby in the oven.
See the evidence:
Surprisingly, Minaj didn't do anything to dampen the rumour mill going on fire with the teasing emoji.
In fact, she seemed to love the drama she'd caused, and 'liked' a few of her fans' responses about the possibility of her being pregnant.
Just look what you've done, Nicki.

The U.S. Department of Education's spokesperson hung up on The Daily Caller Wednesday when seeking clarification regarding the Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's planned speech at an Aug. 28 protest march that the Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network (NAN) are holding to counter Fox News commentator Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally.
The NAN's "Reclaim the Dream" march is an attempt to keep attention off Beck's highly publicized rally happening the same day in the same city, redirecting the focus to what Sharpton and the NAN say is the real meaning of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "I have a dream" speech. The date, Aug. 28, is the 47th anniversary of King's iconic speech.
Duncan recently wrapped up a nationwide education tour with Sharpton and former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, which is the only topic the Department of Education would comment on.

Those champagne bottles are staying on ice at Facebook HQ.
The social network has been inching ever closer to the major milestone of a billion monthly active users (that is, folks who log into Facebook at least once a month). In April, as part of an amendment to its IPO filing with the SEC, the company announced it had 901 million monthly active users.
Some observers — and more than a few Facebook employees — had hoped this number would hit the magic billion by the time its second quarter results came out (ie. today). Others, such as Gregory Lyons, a senior analyst at iCrossing, predicted the billion mark would be reached in August. Now it's looking more like those champagne corks will pop in September, or even October.
Nine hundred and fifty-five million users, of course, is still a superlative achievement. Facebook can also boast that 552 million of them log in every day — up from 526 million in April. The 955 million number also represents 29% growth in users year on year.
When Facebook first filed its IPO paperwork with the SEC in February, the network had 845 million users. It hit the 500 million mark back in mid 2010, hence the tag line for that year's award-winning movie The Social Network: "you don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies." The number was out of date by the time those posters hit billboards.
But of course, even 955 million users isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion users. (Expect to see that joke roll out with increasing frequency over the next few months.)
How big can Facebook get? Let us know in the comments if you think the social network will ever hit twobillion monthly active users.

On the week, Hager was 13-of-29 from the plate, for a .448 batting average with one home run and 12 runs batted in. Hager had two four-hit games on the week, finishing with a .767 slugging percentage and adding two stolen bases and seven runs scored.

Order-to-cash (OTC) transformations have helped global companies benefit from the plugging of revenue leakages, improved order fulfilment, and cost and working capital optimization— all of which have an impact on profitability. The advent of Big Data and automation, improved credit process, collections management with real-time analytics are resulting in reduced bad debts.
However, many companies find OTC processes quite complex due to a wider and diverse portfolio of customers with increased expectations of customization in the entire process. Globalization and consolidation of businesses have led to increased requirement for standardization and automation of processes across the value chain.
WNS understands the complexities and dynamics of OTC processes and offers end-to-end services that make the processes smarter, faster and more effective.
We have invested in many industry-specific as well as multi-platform technology tools to offer services such as Business Process as a Service (BPaaS), Verifare Plus®, Jade, Meter-to-Cash, Healthcare OTC platform. We also have a strong partnership with CoAction for horizontal solutions.
We focus on industry and size-specific benchmarking with process maturity models; improve operational controls with ZeST (Zero Surprise Toolkit) and transform processes with ADAPT process re-engineering framework.
