In 2016, Thermador will celebrate 100 years of creating Real Innovations for Real Cooks. To demonstrate the evolution of kitchen personalization, unveil upcoming trends and showcase new innovations, Thermador will kick off its milestone centennial celebration at Design & Construction Week January 19-22, 2016.
The brand will be located within the International Builders Show (IBS), at booth C3837 in the Central Hall, and will share the booth with sister brands Bosch and Gaggenau.
On Tuesday, January 19 I'll be attending a luncheon hosted by Thermador for Modenus Blog Tour Las Vegas Bloggers to learn more about their new innovative products. Follow my Tweets and Instagram Posts for up-to-the-minute news.
Thermador will also host a press conference and VIP reception in the BSH booth to unveil exciting news, as well as to officially kick-off the 100th Anniversary celebration of Thermador.
In addition to the inspiring kitchen vignettes found throughout the IBS booth, Thermador innovation will also be featured within the 2016 New American Home, the official show home of IBS.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the innovative 5,200-square-foot 2016 New American Home.
The New American Home, now in its 33rd year, showcases innovative construction technologies, emerging design trends and the latest building products.
How amazing is this island with two Thermador dishwashers, waterfall edge and banquette?
What is Active Cleansing Technology?
Active Cleansing Technology sounds like something you'd see on the back of a bottle of bathroom cleaner – but it's not.
In 1967, Japanese scientists Akira Fujishima and Kenichi Honda (University of Tokyo) discovered the active cleansing effect of titanium dioxide in photocatalysis (the acceleration of a photoreaction in the presence of a catalyst).
They researched this phenomenon, now known as the "Honda-Fujishima Effect", and published their findings in 1972. Little changed in this research until the 1990s when engineers at TOTO collaborating with the University of Tokyo discovered the additional passive cleansing effect of photocatalysis.
The additional passive cleansing effect is based on the hydrophilic properties of titanium dioxide. Surfaces treated with titanium dioxide dramatically reduce the surface tension of falling water. Instead of rolling off the surface as individual drops, the water flows off the edges in an ultra-thin film, which removes all dust and dirt particles in the process.
You may be wondering why all this Science matters. In indoor applications (think bathrooms), this technology prevents the spreading of germs and bacteria and eliminates bad odors deriving from their action.
TOTO was the first company to use active cleansing technology. TOTO durably bakes HYDROTECT, a unique protective coating for ceramic building materials that renders surfaces self-cleaning; into their products.
Because HYDROTECT is fired on to the surface separately from the glaze, it will not wash or wear off over time. It is not visible and, thus, does not alter the color of the product.
It's reassuring to know every TOTO innovation has a single motivation: helping people feel cleaner and more alive.
Being a technology leader has been good for TOTO. It's no wonder this past November they reached an astounding total of 40 million WASHLETs sold world-wide since 1980.
I look forward to visiting TOTO at Design and Construction Week in Las Vegas next month while I'm on BlogTour KBIS to see their new Connect+ System and eWater+.
TOTO's innovative Connect+ System neatly conceals the Washlet's power cord and water supply hose for a clean installation.
TOTO's eWater+ mists the bowl with electrolysed water after every flush and once every eight hours during non-use. A pre-misting of plain water further enhances bowl cleanliness by sealing the surface against the adherence of matter approximately 80% better than dry porcelain.
If you can't make it to the Kitchen And Bath Industry Show this year you may want to check out these live streams from the show floor.
Fisher & Paykel has a full range of programming scheduled including: appearances from America's Test Kitchen's founder Christopher Kimball, Chef Demos with Celebrity Chef Tim Creehan, and multiple virtual tours showcasing the newest innovative products from Fisher & Paykel and DCS Appliances.
Another way to keep up with what is happening at the show is through KBDN Radio. Senior editor John Filippelli will be providing daily updates live from the show floor in a series of podcasts.
Additionally, KBDN will be covering the KBIS Show live, through its Satellite Media Tour, hosted by KBDN editor Janice Costa. The Satellite Media Tour will start its broadcast live from the Broan booth at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, April 16.
As the exclusive sponsor of KBIS, K+BB TV will go behind the scenes to showcase the new and innovative product launches from the show. K+BB will also conduct on-air interviews with some of the most influential leaders in the industry.
My blog for GLAM.COM is up for you to read. I tried to highlight new products from various industry categories. It seems the new plumbing and appliances often get most of the attention. I hope you enjoy it.
This picture is from the Silestone Party I attended. The DJ was rockin' and many seemed to enjoy the Go-go Dancers. The food was also pretty spectacular. Thanks Silestone!
Silestone introduced their new LIFE Series at the show this year. This expands Silestone's offerings to 65 colors and 2 texture options.
Protected by Microban, it is the only countertop that inhibits the growth of microbes such as odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew on its surface with antimicrobial product protection. Silestone countertops are safe for the quality of interior air throughout their lifetimes, as they do not off-gas pollutants into the air and emit zero volatile organic compounds.


500 conservative and Christian groups were illegally targeted by the Obama IRS starting in 2010. For twenty-seven months the Obama IRS refused to approve any Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status while at the same time the Obama IRS approved dozens of progressive applications.
Now that the election is over, these same Democrats are feigning outrage that conservative groups were targeted by the IRS.

Amplify the rare moments of family togetherness between the goofy work schedules and school break. It only takes a moment to create a memory!
It doesn't matter if your Christmas tree was redecorated by the cat or you burned yet another Pinterest-inspired dinner in the oven. As long as you have family (and Chinese delivery on speed dial) you'll be just fine this holiday season.
Bundle up the family (yes, even the dog too!) and take a walk around the neighborhood to admire the twinkling lights and seasonal displays. Snowing outside? Jump in the car and find the biggest sledding hill in the area or a light festival nearby.
Just don't forget to bust out your best (off-key) "Jingle Bells" on the way.
Whether you opt for a simple cocoa packet (complete with mini marshmallows) or whip up a fancy cup, you're winning. Either way, sip the hot chocolate by the fireplace with your loved ones or while outrunning those last-minute errands with the kids. Bonus points for hosting an impromptu milk mustache contest!
What's the most loved holiday classic at your house? Take a poll and find out which comedies are loved the most in your family, then break out the bowls of popcorn, Santa hats and blankets for an evening of laughing together around the television. Or, plan to hit the weekend matinee at the local theater as a family.
Kids of all ages love creating something special during the holidays. Serve up some milk and cookies and turn your leftover milk cartons into these adorable gingerbread houses. Then, take a few family selfies to post on your social media. If you really feel like getting crazy, check out some online print options and ideas on Pinterest for how you can make them into cool trinkets to gift. Then if you make a few houses, they can double as a Christmas village table centerpiece for your holiday meal and you can check table-decorating off that to-do list.
Even the Grinchiest of teenagers will warm up to the idea of spending an hour walking the dogs at the local pet shelter or helping senior citizens decorate Christmas stockings at a nursing home. Let hesitant kids invite their friends to join them while they volunteer. Helping others as a family is a win-win for you and the ones you share your time with.
OK, we all can't mimic our favorite Food Network stars, but we can turn some pre-made cookie dough into fabulous little treats. Grab a few tubes of sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, or try our Everything Christmas Cookies from Imma Eat That for a fun and festive way to reuse all the candy leftovers from the holidays. Bake, then decorate with frosting and sprinkles to add sweetness to your day. Consider having a contest for the worst cookie decorating fail to make everyone feel a little better about their lack of culinary skills, then dig in.
For once, waiting until the last minute is a good thing. Instead of being upset that you didn't get everyone done, save a few tasks for when family visits. They'd love to look through old ornaments and place them on the tree, hang lights outside on the trees or build a snowman family instead of sitting around making awkward small talk.
After you've tried a few of these ideas, turn one (or more) of them into a tradition to incorporate into your family holiday festivities year after year. And don't forget to put out a few of those cookies and a glass of a2 Milk® for Santa so he can refuel during his long night of spreading holiday magic.
What other traditions does your family uphold? Share them with us on social media – we love to hear how you are making the most of the holidays!

We are a family owned and operated company in St. Charles, MO (a suburb of St. Louis). We got our start making blocks in 2017; we had always loved stacking stones and thought we could mimic the asymmetrical shape of rocks out of wood. We made some and loved them, and it grew from there.
ABOUT TUMI ISHI
Tumi Ishi wood rocks are a new take on the classic wooden building block and are meant to be stacked and balanced for a relaxing yet challenging pastime; reminiscent of the meditative and fun pastime of stacking and balancing stones. Unlike standard square blocks, our wood rocks have many facets making them more difficult and satisfying to stack. The different facets and unique shapes promote creative out of the box thinking, mindfulness, and problem solving skills.
We make each block individually by hand and use no set pattern when shaping them; this is something that cannot be accomplished using machines, making every block and set truly unique. Our blocks will last generations as a true heritage toy providing hours of open-ended play.
You can play with them alone or with others, you can use them to wind down or have a race against friends, you can stack them high or make a design; however you decide to use your Tumi Ishi Wood Rocks, we truly hope you enjoy them!
First, our diverse selection of sustainably sourced native hardwood species is paramount to us, and allows us/you to create truly extraordinary sets and feel good about the process at the same time. We want to showcase the beautiful colors and textures of each species so we don't use paint or stain; we make our own blend of non-toxic and natural finish to bring out each wood's true colors.
Second, we make each block individually by hand in order to create different shapes and sizes with countless facets, guaranteeing no two are the same; unlike machine made blocks with a set/repeating pattern. The many different facets of our Tumi Ishi Wood Rocks are what really takes stacking to a different level, and brings about a special creativity and unconventional way of problem solving along with endless stacking options.
Third, our blocks are larger than the factory made balance blocks found on the market. Our Tumi Ishi Wood Rocks range in size from approximately 2 to 4 inches on any side. We want our blocks to be safe for all ages, which is why we make larger sizes and test that our blocks do not fit in a small parts tester.

This has the advantage that Semantic MediaWiki will pass less time processing the query in case where some subject changes their fields of interest. If you are looking for a way to only show pages describing subjects which belong to a certain group and don't want to get additional information, a possibility would be to use categories instead of Semantic MediaWiki queries since categories themselves can display all their member pages. However, categories do have the caveat that their subpages don't get moved when the parent is. == Tables == Tabular HTML layout isn't generally a good idea for accessibility, be it for screen readers, text terminals, or magnified screens. They are good to represent raw, statistical, or comparison data. If you must use tables, this section describes caveats to take into account. === Avoid tables that make the page width exceed 71 characters === This also includes spaces and non-text areas. A good way to test this is to use some terminal emulator such as GNOME Terminal with its width set to 80x24 (default) and use a browser such as Lynx. If this number is exceed, Lynx should render the table columns separated by one space, which makes the table confusing to read. This issue is specially important because one cannot simply recommend everyone to increase their terminal's text width, either because they don't have bigger displays or because they make use of some screen magnifier (in which case they have to keep the terminal fit in the magnifier in order to read it without change the focus back and forth). Note that the text inside the tables also counts towards the width count, so a long paragraph can easily make the page exceed the limit. === Avoid lists inside table cells === In text browsers which respect the terminal's text width (''e.g.:'' Lynx), the lists are always rendered in the start of the next line, and the table column headers are always separated by a single space. In both changes this makes it difficult to understand where the new cell or heading start.

Cheerful Dakota apartment with rumored Judy Garland ties sells
New, 22 comments
The legendary star of stage and screen may have once called this apartment home

A colorful, lavish apartment in the famed Dakota that was last listed for $10 million has finally sold after nearly two years on the market (h/t Mansion Global). The three-bedroom co-op is notable for its location, of course—we're always interested in a Dakota pad—as well as its pedigree.
The apartment has had a number of famous residents over the years (well, depending on your definition of "fame"), including world-renowned bridge players Roy Welland and Christal Henner, and most recently, the late socialite Jacqueline Bikoff, whose daughter, Sasha Bikoff, gave the place its current cheerful vibe.
The pad is also rumored to have been the home of an even more famous resident: Judy Garland, who allegedly called the place home for an undetermined period of time at an undetermined point in the apartment's history. (We've dug into it and couldn't find a record of her residency—if you've found otherwise, drop a comment.)
But even without a confirmed Judy Garland connection, the place is still plenty impressive: it has a "dynamic" floorplan and 13-foot ceilings, a library, seven (currently sealed) wood-burning fireplaces, a formal dining room and huge, modern kitchen, and all mod cons (central air, etc.)
The unit just so happens to be located on the same floor as Yoko Ono's apartment, which could make for some interesting elevator chit-chat.

Stuart Fitzrandolph Merrill (August 1, 1863 in Hempstead, New York – December 1, 1915 in Versailles, France) was an American poet, who wrote mostly in the French language.  He belonged to the Symbolist school. His principal books of poetry were Les Gammes (1887), Les Fastes (1891), and Petits Poèmes d'Automne (1895).

Life

Merrill was the product of a conservative, wealthy, Protestant upbringing. In 1866, his father George received a diplomatic appointment to Paris, where Merrill would learn French and live for the next 19 years. Stéphane Mallarmé was one of Merrill's school instructors. His classmates included future symbolists René Ghil and Pierre Quillard. Merrill ran a weekly journal, Le fou, before returning to the States in 1884 to attend law school.  On April 15, 1887, Merrill went to Madison Square Theater in New York to hear Walt Whitman give his famous "Death of Abraham Lincoln" lecture. Afterwards, Merrill had the opportunity to meet Whitman, an experience he later recorded in the magazine "Le Masque."

Also in 1887, Merrill published his first book of poems, Les gammes, in Paris, and received wide critical acclaim in Europe. As his literary career took off he participated in radical political causes, siding with the anarchists in the famous Haymarket riots.  When George Bernard Shaw attempted to circulate a petition in London calling for the release of Oscar Wilde, imprisoned for homosexuality, Merrill made a similar attempt to get notable artists and intellectuals to sign a similar petition in the United States.  Although Merrill's father disinherited him for his politics, his mother would continue to support him financially throughout his life.

In 1890, Merrill published Pastels in Prose, a collection of his translations of French prose poems. This was his only book to be published in America during his lifetime. The same year, he returned to Europe permanently and he married in 1891. For the years 1893–1908, his address was 53 Quai de Bourbon, Île Saint-Louis, Paris.     Several more books, including Les fastes in 1891 and Petits poèmes d'automne in 1895, were published before his death of heart disease in 1915.    In 1927 a small traffic way in the 17th arrondissement of Paris took the name Place Stuart-Merrill.

Help to Buy housing scheme to close this year
By lwtv on	 30th September 2016 Latest News
Help to Buy has become the latest flagship policy of David Cameron and George Osborne to be dumped by Theresa May's Government.
The new Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has announced the scheme will be closed at the end of the year, though he insisted it was always due to finish then.
It is the latest in a series of major policy U-turns since Mr Cameron left Downing Street in July and Mrs May sacked Mr Osborne as Chancellor in her first act as Prime Minister.
The U-turns include:
:: Ending the ban on new grammar schools
:: Making immigration sustainable rather than cutting by tens of thousands
:: Watering down the childhood obesity strategy
:: Threatening to cancel the Hinkley Point nuclear power station
:: Changing the priorities of Mr Osborne's "Northern Powerhouse"
Mr Hammond announced the ending of the Help to Buy guarantee scheme in a letter to the Bank of England governor Mark Carney.
He said the scheme was "introduced with a specific purpose that has now been successfully achieved" and that it would close at the end of the year.
Launched by Mr Osborne in his Autumn Statement in 2013, it was described by the then Chancellor as a "landmark" scheme that would get thousands of Britons on the housing ladder.
It meant that buyers only needed to find a deposit of 5% of the value of their home, with a mortgage covering the remaining 95%.
As its closure was announced, the Treasury published new figures revealing that more than 86,000 households have been supported by the initiative.
But the Government says it is no longer needed as confidence has returned to the market, with more private lenders offering 90% to 95% mortgages.
Across all of the Government's Help to Buy schemes, a total of 185,000 homes were bought, including more than 150,000 properties for first time buyers.
In his letter, Mr Hammond said the Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee has assessed that the move to drop the scheme is "unlikely, in current market conditions, to affect significantly the provision of finance" to Britons hunting for a mortgage.
He added: "It is important to note that the end of this particular scheme does not diminish in any way the Government's commitment to supporting those looking to get on the housing ladder."
Paul Smee, of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, said: "Help to Buy continues to give a welcome leg-up to many creditworthy buyers who may not otherwise have been able to get a foothold on the property ladder.
"The scheme has helped buyers right across the country, including a high proportion of younger borrowers and first-time buyers."
But Sam Dumitriu, of the Adam Smith Institute, said Mr Hammond was right to dump Mr Osborne's "misguided mortgage guarantee scheme".
He added: "Britain's housing crisis is the result of supply being unable to meet rising demand.
"Help to Buy only served to make this problem worse, pushing up prices through cheap credit, while doing nothing to address the underlying housing shortage."

In recent years, traditional approaches to measuring prosperity based on macroeconomic indicators such as national income or purchasing power parity per capita, have been substantially revised and redefined. Multiple indicators assessing income inequality, average lifespan, social capital infrastructure, level of corruption and literacy rate among others, tend to show the bigger picture and better explain the elements of national power.
The current edition of The Legatum 2015 Prosperity Index offers a unique insight into how prosperity is forming and changing across the world by adding the indicators that measure well-being as a complement to GDP. The Index sees prosperity "as more than just the accumulation of material wealth, but also as the joy of everyday life and the prospect of being able to build an even better life in the future".
According to the 2015 Prosperity Index, Norway, Switzerland and Denmark are seen as the most prosperous nations in terms of accumulated national wealth and well-being, followed by New Zealand, Sweden, Canada and Australia.
The Legatum 2015 Prosperity Index contains data on 142 countries, divided into 5 regions, for 89 variables, spread across eight sub-indices.
In 2015 the rise of South East Asian economies continues, with Singapore ranked first in the Economy sub-index, displacing Switzerland. "The country has the second highest capital per worker in the world: $240,750 per worker. 47% of the country's manufactured exports are classified as "high-tech", the third highest in the world".
Entrepreneurial spirit in the UK is booming. A rise in start-ups, innovative ventures and more traditional forms of self-employment in the recent years can be explained by the growing confidence in the UK market and future economic growth. According to Companies House, there is a "20% increase in the number of new businesses being created annually in the UK within the space of just 2 years".
Another reason behind the growth of UK entrepreneurial opportunities is a result of the GREAT Britain campaign, launched in 2012, which promotes the British science, technology and engineering worldwide and raises awareness of British strengths in innovation and creativity among other national achievements.
"Canada, Norway, New Zealand, Iceland, and Ireland are the five most tolerant countries towards immigrants. The UK comes in at 17th. 92% of Canadians believe that their country is a good place for immigrants. Canada has risen to first place in the Personal Freedom sub-index this year, reflecting high scores in measures of tolerance and civil liberties. This figure is 90% for Norway, New Zealand, and Iceland; and 89% for Ireland".
On a flip side, the 2015 Prosperity Index reveals that the world is becoming an increasingly dangerous place.
National prosperity is a source of both hard and soft power. Generally speaking, some nations are considered more prosperous than others because they either possess abundant natural resources and have mastered the ability to trade them for other goods and services (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia), or they have a mix of cultural, economic and human capital which enables them to build a competitive advantage on value-added activities (Singapore, South Korea, the majority of the European countries).
In today's world soft power is considered more critical than ever to secure the national competitive advantage.
Natural Resources is a hard factor which will never be irrelevant for the production possibilities of the economy.
Ability to trade with others is a critical source of national competitive advantage. According to the Strategic trade theory "Strategic use of export subsidies, import tariffs and subsidies to R&D or investment for firms facing global competition can have strategic effects to their development in the international market". Classic landmark read: The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith.


Below we will find out how to integrate apple pay into the mobile applications which are developed and require payment options integration.
Apple mobile Pay is compatible with such proximity card readers as Visa PayWave, MasterCard PayPass, American Express ExpressPay.
We will use the latest Apple Pay version (as of 5 November 2018), Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10.1.
For Apple Pay integration into the mobile app, you must have registered and paid developer account (https://developer.apple.com).
We create a project based on Single View Application.
Our next step should be the project name creation. I will use ApplePayExample.
Further on we are faced with the ViewController class. Here we will actually work.
Apple Pay Adjustment in the Application.
For Apple Pay integration we have to use the PassKit library.
To manage cards in the Wallet App.
To create a test user.
Let's go to https://developer.apple.com, authorize with our account and follow to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.
Go to the Identifiers group choose the App IDs tab. Fill in all the necessary fields in accordance with your app and follow further instructions.
After that, you should choose the Merchant IDs in the Identifiers group.
Create a Merchant ID for your application following the instructions given.
Arm yourself with patience, we have almost finished our preparations for the project.
Next, we have to go to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com Users and Access section, choose Testers in the Sandbox section and create a test user following the instructions.
We need the user to test payments.
First, we have to enable Apple Pay in Xcode Capabilities and to add the Merchant ID created earlier.
Now, when Apple Pay is enabled we can proceed further to the most interesting part — to writing code.
First open Main.storyboard and add the button.
Then proceed to the ViewController.swift.
and to create IBAction for the button.
While opening the PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController we have to subscribe for its delegate, so that we can see the transaction status.
Now we are ready to check the Apple Pay.
Before Apple Pay check it's necessary to authorize with the help of user Sandbox, which was created earlier and to add a test card to iPhone.
Start the project and press the button «Pay».
The transaction has been successful. Congratulations, now you know how to integrate Apple Pay into the mobile application.
Apple does not provide any statistics on Apple Pay, but according to the experts, the users of this payment service constitute about ~ 31% (> 252 mln people) of the total iPhone users.
The head of the company Tim Cook has also mentioned recently, that almost 1 billion transactions were made with the help of this service in the 3rd quarter of 2018.
The number of banks supporting Apple pay also increases. In June 2018 Apple announced that more than 4 900 banks support this payment option worldwide.
Why do you need Apple Pay?
I guess the section above explains why Apple Pay is needed to you.
But how does it actually work? — You can shop online (using Safari browser), as well as by means of the apps. You do not need to keep cards with you, all you need is just touch your iPhone (if you have Touch ID) or simply smile to the necessary special sensors (if you have Face ID). It will be enough to make a purchase.
Is it secure? You may ask. Yes, unequivocally, it's secure. Your device does not share your financial details during the transaction, instead, it generates a special one-time token and exchanges it during the payment operation.
It's a must for you to integrate this technology (into your business, your project or your life). Thanks to this technology you can refuse from using cards physically.

Will the US Online Gambling Market ever truly open up?
By IBTimes Staff Reporter
The United States as a nation is quite conservative towards all forms of online gambling, and are quite hesitant to truly open up to that industry.
But what surprises a lot of the analysts is that even with their approach towards it, 'the U.S. is still one of the world's' most significant gambling market.'
And even though there are a lot of players logging in every day, some of the games are still prohibited in most of the U.S. online casino sites.
Many today feel that the U.S. market has shown signs of waking up to the potential that gambling offers.
But the latest laws and legislatures have turned their backs on that progress, and it has made many players question if the U.S. will ever fully embrace online gambling at all.
The Legislatures Behind U.S. Online Gambling.
When it comes to public opinion on gambling in general, the consensus is quite divided.
There are many who enjoy this recreational sport responsively, while others are victimized by it, with gambling addiction rates being at an all-time high.
Needless to say, the laws on regulating or even prohibiting gambling and online gambling have kept changing over the years.
But out of all the legislatures, two are the most prominent; the revised Wire Act of 2011 and the PASPA.
1. The Wire Act.
The revision of the Wire Act was done due to the evolution of technology and the new forms of online gambling that came up every year.
The was initially Wire Act was passed during the Kennedy-era to help tackle organized crime.
And from 1996-2006, Congress, on several occasions, had tried to update the act and what it did, but they failed to resolve the conflicts that occurred between gaming sectors.
Gaming sector laws like that of the commercial, tribal, horse racing, dog racing, and even lotteries were at constant struggles with each other; and it took Congress till 2011 to resolve the issues
On the January of 2011, the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel reversed the act opinion, which stated that law only applied to sports betting.
Now the Wire Act can be applied to all forms of gambling, including online gambling and all sort of betting sports which crossed state lines.
This, in turn, helped many players gamble online without having to worry about the legality of the sport.
2. The PASPA Act.
The ever advancements in technology and the different online gambling games and portals have created continuous problems for the law.
Now, all the way back in 1992, the former U.S. president George W. Bush, signed the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act or the PASP in the law.
Also recognized as the Bradley Act in New Jersey, this legislation stopped new states from offering sports betting.
However, it in no way outlawed sports betting, which was already illegal, but rather stifled the spread of sports betting in the U.S.
It outright prevented states from regulating gambling, but the law was soon reversed by the supreme court when it allowed the state of New Jersey to pass its very own gambling laws in 2018.
This helped out players a lot. Where one would usually send their hard-earned dollars overseas instead of their state treasuries, they could now place legal bets from their very homes.
What Killed the Potential of the U.S. Gambling Market?
On the black market alone, sports betting is estimated to be worth around $150 million.
It shows the potential of the sport is the nation, and how such an amount when regulated can be diverted into public service areas like hospitals and schools.
Legalizing sports betting can create a lot of jobs, as well. It can make around 125,000 and 152,000 employment opportunities all across the nation, according to a report published by Oxford Economics in 2017.
But much of the progress was thwarted when campaigners started lobbying against DOJ's decision of legalizing some of the online gambling games.
Prominent figures like the U. S. Senator Lindsey Graham and Shelden Adelson were some of the forerunners of that campaign.
The future of online gambling in the U.S. was in question again, with never-ending valid debates on either side of the argument.
These slideshows show the opinions of some of the big names in politics and where they stand on the debate.
The Future of Online Gambling in the U.S.
The United Kingdom is doing a phenomenal job of increasing their state revenue by regulating gambling and accelerating the industry at a rapid pace.
They embraced the industry wholeheartedly and was able to generate a revenue of more than 14.5 billion pounds in almost no time at all.
The U.S. can indeed learn a lot from them. The U.K. is one such example in the world that acts as evidence of online gambling having a positive contribution to the economy.
In the U.K., almost all gambling websites are subjected to taxation, which directly funds the government and their community schemes.
Their websites are malware-proof as well and frequently go through server maintenance checks to deal with all the safety issues which may occur.
However, the U.S. has a far greater potential than the U.K. in terms of revenue generation. And if they adopt most of the U.K.'s regulation methods, then the market is guaranteed to bloom.
But with the strong opposition that online gambling faces in the nation, we don't think that it will truly open up to the industry any time soon.

I see so many people who try to manifest a Twin Flame union with so much passion.
with each other while they try to dominate and it hurts badly.
And you fight until you surrender broken into a billion pieces.

So at the end, you are going to be complete without the need of anything else either a partner.
It takes a loooot of pain both in the physical and emotional level no matter how strong you are mental as this process is needed for us to expand.
These Unions are sacred and they have to do with a process that, believe me, if you knew how it goes, you wouldn't ask for it even in a million years!
Find a soulmate and take the lesson slowly. This is what you seek most probably.

We should aspire to live an abundant and joy-filled life, celebrating who we are and where we are at the moment, even when our days are far from perfect. Our joy should not be dependent on the circumstances surrounding us, on what we own, who we are with, or how successful our career happens to be. Joy comes from being the real you!
Resonant Leadership, by Richard Boyatzis
First Job
My mother's family-owned business
I was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, in West Africa, and immigrated to London to attend college. I moved to Boston in 1984. Leaving the security of my parents' home at a young age was scary, and I have had to confront and overcome numerous challenges. I have been able to follow my dreams and overcome adversities because of the values of hard work, determination, perseverance, hope, and faith my parents had instilled in me. These values, and my clear vision for what I wanted in my life, have helped me to build my skills as a leader dedicated to serving others. As an immigrant and full-time working mother of three sons, persevering through challenging times has taught me patience, made me stronger, and helped me maintain the energy and motivation it takes to keep moving forward even when there are obstacles. Also, my important role as a parent means that I have to be efficient and effective so I can successfully balance work and life.
My progression from working as a bank clerk when I first moved to Boston, and not having any family and friends to support and guide my career, to being in my current position where I am making a difference in the lives of 12,000 vulnerable residents in the communities my organization serves, has required discipline, a steady focus, and a willingness to evaluate my experiences and learn from them. I continue to look for opportunities to remain current and appropriate so I can serve as a role model to others.
As a leader, I make it a personal priority to create energy in others, make things happen, pave the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, and empower others to act. I did not have a mentor to rely on, but had the strong support and example of my parents, especially my mother's wisdom. I also joined several professional organizations that gave me access to resources and learning. Because of my experiences, I believe great leaders must be teachers, and should make the mentoring of others a priority.
When I speak with young people, I encourage them to pursue their dreams with a clear vision, determination and plan of execution; to make active changes when needed; and stay focused in spite of adversity and challenges.

CWC green-lights Rahul Gandhi's march to party presidency: Media believes he must send out positive message, take on BJP
Politics FP Staff Nov 21, 2017 14:57:51 IST
The Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Monday met in New Delhi and announced the schedule for the election of the party's next president, clearing the stage for Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi to take over the reins of India's 'grand old party'.
Internal voting to choose the new vice-president will be held on 16 December however, the 19-day process will begin on 1 December, which is well before the crucial Gujarat Assembly election.

The 47-year-old Congress leader is expected to take charge as early as 5 December after the nominations are scrutinised or 11 December, which is the last date for withdrawal of nominations, as The Indian Express said in a report.
Since his speech at University of California in Berkeley, Gandhi has been making quite an impression on the media. As this article in Firstpost points out, "...just a few years before, it was easier to lampoon Gandhi because we knew very little about him... But, suddenly, Gandhi has begun to impress upon us that, like all of us, he is a human being too, with his own character and personality, weaknesses and strengths."
It therefore, becomes pertinent to look at how the media reacted to Gandhi's imminent coronation after the CWC meet on Monday.
While saying how there are people who expect a new beginning and a possible revival of the party through Gandhi's elevation, an editorial in Hindustan Times said that much will depend on how Gandhi chooses to run the party. He has his task cut out. The editorial says that the Congress has lacked a strong positive message, has been unable to shed the baggage of corruption scandals and its rank is demoralised due to successive electoral defeats. "His elevation may address the third issue, but to succeed, Gandhi will have to work on the other two."
An editorial in The Times of India said that Gandhi's impending elevation within Congress is long overdue. While saying that it made little sense to delay the matter further, the editorial argued that he has done a good job of leading the Congress campaign for Gujarat. It praised Gandhi for leading from the front and taking the fight to BJP in that state and said he has infused fresh energy into Congress.
The editorial in DNA titled it as 'an uneasy crown'. While acknowledging that the Congress leader has come into his own in the last few months, the editorial said that that is not to say there has been a complete turnaround as far as Gandhi is concerned. The editorial called out the party for failing the Gandhi scion by not being able to outshine the BJP in its IT cell reach and listed out a number of issues where Gandhi will have to focus his energies after being elevated. First is to change the public perception that Congress is a party of elites and filling the shoes of his mother, who can boast of a brilliant track record in managing fierce infighting.
An article on Scroll contended that having Gandhi take the reins in early December makes sense because the process of his elevation was seen more as being about image management than any political maneuvering. Talking about the timing of the announcement, he said that it is designed to get the Congress as much media attention as possible in the days just before Gujarat votes on 9 and 14 December.
