Los Angeles—American Apparel Inc. has recorded an increase in full-year sales but said Thursday afternoon it expects 2013 adjusted earnings to plummet as costs related to its new distribution center weigh on results.
Sales in the 12-month period rose 3% to $634 million, while comparable store sales, including online sales, also rose 3%.Wholesale net sales increased 4% to $180.7 million.
2014 Forecast: Improved
The company, however, said it expects net profit for the year to the end of December to be between $7 million to $9 million as compared to $36.6 million last year.
"The challenged implementation of our new distribution center had a material negative impact on the company in terms of actual costs (estimated at $14.9 million)," said CEO Dov Charney. "Naturally, the disrupted flow of merchandise to our stores, wholesale clients, and online customers had an immediate negative impact on sales."
The company said it expects 2014 sales and costs, however, to be enhanced by the operation of the La Mirada facility.
"Although this was a painful and costly endeavor it was necessary in order for us to achieve the future productivity and growth potential associated with the American Apparel brand," Charney said.
For fiscal 2014, American Apparel is projecting sales between $634 million and $658 million based upon a flat to 4% overall increase in net sales. Adjusted EBITDA is estimated in the range of $40 million to $50 million.

|The Model 1886 lever action repeating rifle was developed to handle powerful center fire cartridges. Based on a Browning patent (U.S. 306,577), with improvements by Winchester master designer William Mason, the Model 1886 incorporated strong vertical bolt locks and a very smooth action. Magazine capacity varied depending on magazine length and cartridge caliber (cartridges ranged from .33 W.C.F. to .50/110 Express). Receivers were casehardened until 1901, when blued finish became standard. This experimental Mark C, designed by William Mason, is a prototype of the Model 1886 with several unusual features. The loading gate cover is cammed, and moves up and forward to insert shells. In an attempt to reduce the length of the receiver, the typical locking mechanisms and solid rear moving bolt have been replaced by a series of complicated internal mechanisms. As the lever is moved down, a Peabody type block is dropped to eject the spent shell and cock the exposed hammer. When the lever is brought up, the block closes and guides a live round underneath it and into the chamber. The "exposed hammer" is more accurately a hammer lever since the face striking the firing pin is all contained in the receiver. Although this mechanism reduces the length of the receiver, it would be difficult to clear a malfunction or empty the magazine, since each round has to be loaded into the chamber before it can be removed.

It was a sunny day last Friday when I stepped out to roam the streets of Bangkok. My priority was to get a tour of the Jim Thompson Museum. The museum is really Mr. Thompson's house that the Thai government turned into a museum to commemorate him. For those who are not acquainted with Jim Thompson, he is an American who exported silk fabric to Europe and the Americas, giving Thailand a big boost in export revenues from the production and export of silk. He came from a privileged family and became an intelligence officer for the United States in the 1940's.
The JT House is off the main streets, hidden in a narrow lane with grand, old houses with high fences and gated driveways. The driveway is flanked by a cafe on the right and a showroom on the left. Beyond is a garden lush with ferns, a variety of orchids, other fragrant flowering plants and greens. Sunlight peeks through small openings made by the trees. The round pond and the walkway paved with brick makes the garden very romantic. I could just imagine evenings there as Mr. Thompson gave one of his fabulous private parties. A low fence camouflaged by plants separates the estate from the canal. Even now, the canal is a buzz with activity of motor boats.
The main house remains faithful to Thai architecture and style with a few western amenities and enhancements. Thai houses are sectioned and separated, meaning that the owner has to go out to reach the kitchen, the dining room and the bathroom. An enhancement made by JT is that he joined all six units together and constructed the bathrooms inside the house. Thai architecture uses broad beams to elevate the house from the ground. The whole house is made of dark Teak wood, reminding me of our old Hispanic houses. A unique feature of Thai architecture is that the upper part (roof) is built more narrow than the base, to make it more structurally sound. Old wooden presses, with intricate carvings and designs, hung on the lower level walls. These presses, ranging in size, were used in dying and pressing the designs on the silk.
Another enhancement made by Mr. Thompson is adding and enclosing a receiving room. His receiving room has antique wooden statues that act as sentries with Italian black and white marble flooring that give the otherwise homely house a hint of grandeur. (It is only much later that I learn that the statues are Buddhas from Burma.) The wooden staircase, simple enough, of dark soft wood, leads to the 'main' level. The living room, the biggest part of the house, is lit by a crystal chandelier brought over from Belgium. Settees and armchairs are all European with antique China vases and oriental decors that all make for a comfortable elegance. An oriental daybed takes center stage, but it is the antique reclining Buddha that draws attention with its pinkish hue. The most unique feature of the living room is its back wall. Mr. Thompson had the external face of the wall used inside, giving the living room a very textured back wall. The living room wall facing the canal could be slid sideways so guests could get a full view of the garden and the canal. It was a perfect setting for parties and dinners that Mr. Thompson gave for royalty, diplomats and business people.
The subtle elegance of the living room is in contrast to the stark functionality of Mr Thompson's tiny office. A small wooden writing table is settled near a tall window that overlooks a garden and the driveway. One wall is lined with books and the other with oriental paintings. Once again, there are ancient Buddha statues in the room, this time from the 8th century.
The master's bedroom is simple with little European and Chinese décor but well lighted as it is surrounded with high windows and a balcony. As in all the other rooms of the house, there is a statue of an antique Buddha.
There are two other small huts in the estate, one that was used to store rice and the other for storage of food. Nowadays, one hut is used to showcase the Mr. Thompson's collection of ancient Siam maps and the other for his other collections.
A structure that caught my attention was a tiny elevated wooden hut at the far corner of the estate, almost hidden by tall ferns. At first I thought it was a birdhouse, but the arranged flowers in the entrance was a bit too elaborate for a birdhouse. I was later informed by the tour guide that the tiny hut was a house for the spirits that guided the estate.
With all the Buddha's in the house and the observance of Buddhist tradition echoed in and out of the house, it was but natural to wonder and ask if Mr. Thompson converted to Buddhism. I was very surprised to learn that he didn't convert but remained a Christian. With all the 'evidence' of Buddhism and tradition and rituals spread throughout the estate, you would wonder. But then again, Mr. Thompson was a man of contradictions, a very enigmatic man. US Government reports that Mr. Thompson was a retired spy when he moved to Thailand; others say that he never retired. Even his supposed death is shrouded in mystery and contradiction. Reports say that in 1967, he went out for a stroll in the mountains of Malaysia and never returned; but his body was never found. Others believe that the missing report was circulated so he could secretly return to the US.
I suppose that in the world of espionage, you are supposed to be enigmatic. But in the ordinary world of ordinary people like me, being too mysterious or enigmatic doesn't help. Which led me to ponder the question, what would people say when I'm dead and gone. Will it be a shallow 'she was nice and kind', 'she was helpful', 'she was successful at what she does', or heaven forbid, 'oh, I didn't know she was a believer in Christ'! Though I won't go down in history as someone famous or having acquired millions or done fantastic work, I would like to be remembered as a woman who loved the Lord and is beloved by the Lord. I would like to be remembered as a woman who shared Jesus' love with others in the workaday life. I would like to be remembered as someone who prayed for others and encouraged others. Now, the only problem between then and now is to live out Christs message every day.

Because of the extensive portfolio, the possibilities are immense. From wireless, streaming, glass fibre and UTP cable to the traditional coax cable.

His opinion on the matter was very different from my own - "I'm not sick, Mom," - and I certainly have to respect his ideas about himself. I do not raise my children expecting they will dismiss their own ideas and opinions about who they are or what is Best to accept my own - so today I can only watch covertly, and be quick to help when or if I am called.
And be relieved when my sister calls to delay the sleepover for two days.
And give him a glass of orange juice with a few drops of my magic medicine (brandy cold medicine) in it.
So the early part of the day Friday was spent with their Daddy before he went off to work.
All of their usual favorite games - cuggling and wrestling and tag.
I read to them the first chapter of A Girl, a Boy, and a Monster Cat. So far it's about a boy who just wants to watch tv but always gets sucked into his friend's imaginative adventures. :) Something that may appeal to eight-year-old little boys.
A couple of days ago at the library I found a Carmen Sandiego: Math Detective game - we're crazy about Carmen Sandiego (and own several games), but since the programs are old, and our computers are new(er), we have a really hard time getting the programs to work. This one works! And it's really fun-- I'd suggest it for anyone who likes spy missions and adventure....
There was lots of ScoobyDoo watching on the television...
(Trevy. In my mind, a day of rest was just what he needed, so I left him to it)
...and Maddie and I got out the moonsand.
Lots of imaginary play, there.
There was Tubby the Tuba while she played.
Thomas came upstairs to play today, with tracks and friends
and there was baby love,
and then a tea party for babies and friends.
With dress-up. And peppermint tea. And decorated cakes. And music.
Last night she decided that she wanted to make another book, so she started that.
I'm crazy about it. The pages are done, and we'll write in the story today.
The day held lots of reading for Mama,
lots of quiet for Trevelyn,
and lots of slow drifting for Maddie.
Easy and slow,
just what we needed.
And, as always,
the evidence of that
is that it Is.

Biggest theme park in the region is on track for October opening
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – It's only been two years in the making, but Motiongate Dubai's development is on schedule; it will open its doors as the biggest theme park in the region this October.
And it's a small company that's responsible for much of the progress.
The Deluxe Group, a Northern Irish company working alongside Dubai Parks and Resorts, landed the project as it was part of a global entertainment initiative that fell within their niche: movie franchises.
But Deluxe Group had not always focused on amusement parks. Operating since 1969, the privately owned, family-run firm had generally stuck to the commercial, retail and luxury residential market sectors. Then 25 years ago they decided to specialise in theme parks. A year later, they landed their big break: developing Disneyland in Paris.
"Our first large project was Disney in Paris and in fact we just passed the 24th anniversary of that theme park," business development manager Richard Hill said. "We even completed the Ratatouille ride in Paris just a couple years ago."
Experience pays off
"The plan to build a park themed to DreamWorks, Sony Pictures, Lionsgate, Smurfs Village and Studio Central animation characters emerged to take the form of Dubai's newest leisure and entertainment destination in 2014. Motiongate Dubai will be part of a larger complex of theme parks, which will include Bollywood Parks Dubai and Legoland Dubai. The entire complex will estimated to cost Dh10.5 billion that will cover 25 million square feet on the south side of Dubai near the border with Abu Dhabi. The complex is expected to attract 6.7 million visitors in its first year of operations. Motiongate Dubai will boast 27 attractions, with dining, retail and entertainment options throughout the area," Hill said.
In addition, the park will boast 27 attractions, with dining, retail and entertainment options throughout the area.
Dubai Parks and Resorts estimate Dh2.4 billion in revenue will be made after a year of operation and more than 5,000 jobs will be generated across the sector thanks to the expansion.

Discovery offers Ecuador Amazon parrot 11th hour hope
A South American parrot has been reclassified as a species in its own right, which could help save the bird from becoming extinct in the wild.
Until now, the Ecuador Amazon parrot was considered to be part of a group not seen as a conservation priority.
It is estimated that only 600 of the birds remain in the wild, which need two habitats - mangroves and dry forests - in order to survive.
The reclassification was based on years of work by a researcher at Chester Zoo.
"I am very proud that we have actually identified that this bird is very important and can now get some protection," explained Mark Pilgrim, the zoo's director general, who carried out the research.
"The thing that is really important about this reclassification is that previously it had absolutely zero priority for conservation."
Previously, the Ecuador Amazon parrot was considered to be one of four subspecies with the Amazona autumnalis group, which has an estimated population of about five million birds and a range extending from Central America to parts of Brazil.
As a result of the size of the population and large range, it did not rank among conservationists priorities.
"There are lots of species like this, where we are not going into the forests and discovering a species new to science for the first time," Dr Pilgrim told BBC News.
"But what I have discovered is that it has been hidden within another group and that it actually needs to be pulled out of that group because it is really important."
While the other three members of the A. autumnalis group only require one widely available habitat, lowland forests, Dr Pilgrim observed that the Ecuador Amazon parrot unusually relied on two threatened habitats.
"It requires mangroves to roost at night and dry forest, which it flies to every day to feed," he said.
"Both of those habitats only occur on the western coast of Ecuador and both of those habitats are really threatened.
"And of course, it needs both of those habitats in close enough proximity that allows the birds to travel back and forth on a daily basis."
Conservation priority
Dr Pilgrim said a life-long interest in parrots and a curiosity in a pair of Ecuador Amazon parrots at Chester Zoo, where he began his career as a bird keeper 25 years ago, meant the birds were the perfect subjects when he embarked on a PhD.
"I measured hundreds and hundreds of skeletons and skins from museums from all around Europe," he recalled.
"I also went to the breeding centre on Tenerife, where they had three of the four birds in quite large numbers made up of individual aviaries containing pairs, so I could video and monitor their courtship behaviour to see if the courtship was different between the three different species.
"Then I did some genetic work at John Moores University in Liverpool to look at their mitochondrial DNA to see what differences there were."
The outcome of his research was that the birds had enough differences from the other subspecies to warrant the Ecuador Amazon to be separated from the taxonomic group.
Dr Pilgrim explained that he submitted his findings to Birdlife International, the organisation that curates the bird species in the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
He added: "Being on the Red List is very important otherwise a species does not get a priority.
"[Birdlife International] has now agreed that, yes, it should be given full species status in its own right.
"What this also means is that it will be reclassified (in the Red List) as at least Endangered and it may actually be reclassified as Critically Endangered."
Announcement of the reclassification is expected in Spring 2014, when it will no longer be known as Amazona autumnalis lilacina and will be listed as A. lilacina.

Passion and danger collide in the latest contemporary romance featuring the Lawless siblings—from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.
When Drew Lawless discovers a fatal flaw in his plan to avenge his parents' deaths, he turns to the one woman he promised he wouldn't touch. He offers her a deal, one that will bring her into his investigation, his life, and his bed.
Investigative reporter Shelby Gates never dreamed how twisted the case would become—or how fascinated she would be with Drew. Every day they spend together binds them. And every night brings her closer to realizing he might be the man for her.
As Drew's feelings for Shelby grow, so does the danger. From the streets of Dallas to Austin's high-tech business world, Drew and Shelby play a game begun twenty years before—a game they will win, or die trying.
This is the third book in the Lawless series by Lexi Blake and it's about the most difficult of the Lawless boys and that's Drew. The ongoing storyline of who killed the Lawless kids parents comes to a conclusion, and it's quite a whopper of an ending. No big surprise though, Lexi is fantastic at coming up with some mega-amazing plot bunnies. And no, I'm not going to disclose any here.
Drew has been dealing with pesky reporter Shelby Gates who has been trying to look into his parents deaths, but he's been throwing road blocks at her, including lawyers. Now, he plans to use Shelby to solve the case once and for all, especially since he knows who the fourth culprit is and he plans on using Shelby to draw them out. He has her sign a contract, promising her the rights to the information so she can publish, but he has no intention on letting her keep that material. He also has her pretend to be his girlfriend. This would never backfire on him, would it?
As always, I just loved this book, though there were so many times in this book I wanted to drop kick Drew for his behavior and how he planned on treating Shelby. But, a happy ending was had by all. And just maybe we'll get another book out of this series with Noah? Unless he crosses over into Ian's world.

Shelby brushed her lips against his, her whole body seeming to come to life. His lips were soft, his hands tight. He was enveloping her and she was completely defenseless against him.
She wrapped her arms around him as the kiss deepened, and suddenly she didn't want to play it safe anymore. She'd been in her shell for so long and she wanted to come out of it, wanted to feel again. She dragged her tongue over his lower lip, and it seemed to awaken the beast in Drew.
He took over, the kiss going from sweet to carnal in an instant. His mouth opened, tongue sliding over hers and dominating with strength and a sensuality she'd never come across before. He kissed her long and hard, his hands molding to the curves of her body. Over and over again his tongue danced with hers. Never before had a kiss seemed so effortless. It was like they'd been kissing forever.
For a man who claimed he was socially awkward, he sure could kiss like a god.
It was getting out of hand, but she didn't care. Nothing mattered except getting more of him. She could feel his cock under her, hardening, lengthening, getting ready for what it was meant to do. He could ease her back against the table, pull off her jeans and panties. It would be incendiary, like a rocket going off, an explosion she couldn't contain. She could feel herself getting soft and wet and ready for him, as though her body had recognized its natural mate and wasn't taking no for an answer.
"See, I told you we have chemistry." His words rumbled along her lips.
She couldn't argue with him. The world around them seemed hazy and unreal. There was nothing except his touch and scent and the sight of his eyes looking at her like he could eat her up. She knew she should stop him, knew it was getting out of control, but she couldn't find the will. It had been so damn long since she wanted something she could actually have.
She wanted him.
Shelby let her fingers sink into his hair, drawing him back down. Breakfast could wait. She needed more of him.

Needless to say, I kept a low profile today, taking on a short leisurely walk this morning, reading in the garden out back, and hanging out with Dave's niece.
By this time tomorrow, we'll be snuggling up with the "kids." It's been a fabulous vacation, but it's always good to be home.
Hope everyone has enjoyed the adventure. We'll return to the regularly scheduled posting on Monday with a local diet update. Have a great weekend!

Have you ever gone to your supervisor and say, "Boss I have this great idea"? Well that's an okay thing to do but when you only have the one idea as opposed to, "Hey boss, there's a new outcome we're trying to create", there's three different possibilities here. "I've looked at all three and I've determined that the things that are most important happen to be a and b. When I compared the three of them together, narrowed it down to these two. This one has this option and this one does not have this option.
Based upon that, I'm going to recommend option b". You see when you give options, you have the ability for someone to be able to say, "Sounds great". When you come with a one and done as opposed here's the one thing, the first thing they'll do is send you back out the door to go do your research. Don't walk in with any one and dones, be prepared with having done the critical thinking so that when you present that you can get a decision and know it's a good decision.

Napoli Inspired Pizza Dough recipe (above) all started with a European vacation, which ended in a life-changing trip to L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele in Naples, Italy a couple of weeks ago. My subconscious now blames Naples for my consistent daydreams of Neapolitian pizza. This obsession is completely out of my hands and totally beyond my control… or that is the excuse I tell myself when family and friends continue to ask me to shut up about that same "life-changing" pizza from Naples (it started with Napoli pizza dough). My only option to completely withdraw from repeating the exact same story over and over to them is to share it with you and all of humanity I come in contact with over the next year.
You may be wondering why the pizza was so life-changing. I heard quite a bit about this place's pizza that was centrally located in Naples, the birthplace of pizza. The first time I read about it was in "Eat, Pray, Love" and it was also featured in the film with Julia Roberts. Then I purchased a Rick Steve's Italy book, where he insists tourists visit this pizzeria over any other. I read reviews on Tripadvisor, Yelp and the like and was sold on what many said was…. well, life-changing pizza.
When my husband and I finally arrived at the pizzeria after following quite a confusing route of streets which had no real labels that matched anything resembling our trusty (really non trusty) map, we were exhausted and ready for pizza.
L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele only serves two types: Pizza Margherita and Pizza Marinara. What this means is you basically can't just roll in there and say you would like a pepperoni, meat lovers, vegetarian special or anything else. The simplicity of the menu was refreshing to say the least. Nice and simple. We decided to have one of each.
Two employees started circling the seating area to take our orders while an older man who looked to be in his 70s began rolling dough, magnificent dough, out and preparing pizza.
One swoop and our pizzas were in the brick fire pit and on our tables in less than 5 minutes.
The first bite was heavenly. The second, third, fourth and fifth were too. Who would think that dough, tomato sauce, garlic, olive oil, basil and cheese could create heaven?
With the obsession of this pizza firmly implanted in my mind, I knew I would be making Napoli inspired pizza dough as soon as I got home to share with you. Theirs was perfectly charred on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I knew I could not quite duplicate the fire oven situation which created perfect outside char but I could use a broiler to get mine closer than I had probably been before. Look how lovely it turned out!
This Napoli inspired dough recipe is very simple yet delicious. It only takes a few quick steps and a few ingredients and you are ready to roll. Here are a couple of tips:
– Use a quality olive oil. I recently received some amazing olive oil from Bertoli, and it proved to be incredible for coating my dough and adding extra flavor.
– To make sure you have a fully baked pizza, bake the pizza until it is about 3/4s of the way baked at a high heat of 450-500 degrees and then turn on the broiler to really crisp up your crust and finish the pizza at a high heat to get that Naples authenticity.
– Try topping it with your favorite homemade pizza sauce, olive oil. a bit of quality mozzarella cheese and basil for a truly authentic margherita experience as close to Napoli as one can get or make it American style with your favorite toppings. The sky is the limit with this dough!
Whatever you do, try it right away and give the take out/delivery pizza a rest for a while. You can thank me later!
Napoli Inspired Pizza Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 3/4-1 cup lukewarm water
- 1- 1 1/2 tablespoons quality olive oil to coat the bowl
- Optional: cornmeal for dough dusting
- Add all-purpose flour, salt, sugar and instant yeast to a medium sized bowl. Quickly combine the dry mixture with a whisk.
- Next, add water to mix and use a whisk to make sure everything is mixed together.

- Marmara, Turkey
Istanbul once known as Constantinople and Byzantium before that, is the most populous city in Turkey, and the country's economic, cultural, and historical center. Istanbul is a transcontinental city in Eurasia, straddling the Bosphorus strait between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. Its commercial and historical center lies on the European Side and about a third of its population lives on the Asian side. The city is the administrative center of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (coterminous with Istanbul Province), both hosting a population of around 14 million residents. Istanbul is one of the World's most populous cities and ranks as world's 5th-largest city proper and the largest European city.
Founded on the Sarayburnu promontory around 660 BCE as Byzantium, the city now known as Istanbul developed to become one of the most significant cities in history. For nearly sixteen centuries following its reestablishment as Constantinople or New Rome in 330 CE, it served as an imperial capital for the Roman and Byzantine (330–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin (1204–1261), and the Ottoman (1453–1922) empires. It was instrumental in the advancement of Christianity during Roman and Byzantine times, before the Ottomans conquered the city in 1453 and transformed it into an Islamic stronghold and the seat of the Ottoman Caliphate.
Istanbul's strategic position on the historic Silk Road, rail networks to Europe and the Middle East, and the only sea route between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean have produced a cosmopolitan populace, although less so since the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Overlooked for the new capital during the interwar period, the city has since regained much of its prominence. The population of the city has increased tenfold since the 1950s, as migrants from across Anatolia have moved in and city limits have expanded to accommodate them. Arts, Music, Film and Cultural festivals were established at the end of the 20th century and continue to be hosted by the city today, and infrastructure improvements have produced a complex transportation network.
Approximately 12.56 million foreign visitors arrived in Istanbul in 2015, five years after it was named a European Capital of Culture, making the city the world's fifth most popular tourist destination. The city's biggest attraction is its historic center, partially listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its cultural and entertainment hub Can be found across the city's natural harbor, the Golden Horn, in the Beyoğlu district. Considered a global city, Istanbul has one of the fastest-growing metropolitan economies in the world. It hosts the headquarters of many Turkish companies and media outlets and accounts for more than a quarter of the country's gross domestic product. Hoping to capitalize on its revitalization and rapid expansion, Istanbul bid for the Summer Olympics five times in twenty years.
Present-day Istanbul is a flourishing city, with a constantly growing skyline which is one of the most prominent in all of Europe and Western Asia. New developments are constantly being implemented including new metro lines, residential buildings and underground transportation projects such as the Marmaray Tunnel which is the deepest underground tunnel in the world. Along with these developments, the city is increasingly becoming the centre of operations for many international organizations such as the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, Turkic Council and D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation.

Bangalore: Wipro today announced the launch of its Open Banking API (Application Programming Interface) Platform. The Open API platform will enable banks and financial institutions to launch Open Banking initiatives and create new forms of distribution channels and servicing capabilities, provide access to third-party application marketplaces, and comply with emerging regulatory norms through the standardization of APIs.
Open Banking is an emerging trend in financial technology that uses Open APIs to enable third party developers build applications and services around a financial institution. It facilitates greater financial transparency and helps financial institutions innovate and create new revenue models.
Wipro expects a large number of banks and financial institutions to adopt Open Banking initiatives to conform with evolving banking regulations, meet customers' digital expectations, and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive FinTech industry.
Wipro's Open Banking API platform accelerates banks' journey towards the establishment of an API-enabled value ecosystem, and simplifies the onboarding and integration of FinTech services. In addition to accelerated time-to-value, the platform equips banks with the ability to create and manage an API-enabled ecosystem through a single unified platform. The platform can engage an ecosystem of partners/developers to create new revenue streams and foster innovation.
Krishnakumar N Menon, VP – Service Transformation, Wipro said: "With over 15,000 open APIs in existence already, an increasing number of organizations are realizing the true potential of an open API ecosystem. Open Banking is disrupting the banking industry with new business models and an open innovation culture. Our platform is well poised to enable banks embark on their Open Banking journey."
The platform leverages IBM API Connect, which offers capabilities to create, run, manage and secure APIs and micro services. It enables organizations to rapidly deploy and simplify the administration of APIs for both on-premise and cloud environments.
David Wilson, VP, IBM Cloud Business Partners said, "Open Banking will transform financial institutions into digital platforms by securely exposing their data and products, while providing innovative services to their customers. IBM is excited to partner with Wipro, powering the underlying technology, enabling Wipro to deliver a secure, robust and best-in-class open banking API infrastructure."

We propose a technique of chemical etching for fabrication of near perfect optical fiber nanoprobe (NNP). It uses photosensitive single mode optical fiber to etch in hydro fluoric (HF) acid solution. The difference in etching rate for cladding and photosensitive core in HF acid solution creates capillary ring along core-cladding boundary under a given condition. The capillary ring is filled with acid solution due to surface tension and capillary action. Finally it creates near perfect symmetric tip at the apex of the fiber as the height of the acid level in capillary ring decreases while width of the ring increases with continuous etching. Typical tip features are short taper length (~4 µm), large cone angle (~38°), and small probe tip dimension (<100 nm). A finite difference time domain (FDTD) analysis is also presented to compare near field optics of the NNP with conventional nanoprobe (CNP). The probe may be ideal for near field optical imaging and sensor applications.

Can you handle the heat?
Well, celebrities like Kelly Clarkson, Andy Cohen and more proved that they are the masters of spice when they accepted the ALS Pepper Challenge.
Several celebrities joined in bringing awareness to the progressive neurodegenerative disease by swapping out the cold waters of the Ice Bucket Challenge and trading it in for the heat of the habanero pepper.
Among them was The Voice judge Clarkson, who defeated the viral challenge in a video she shared with her followers on Instagram. And while the singer may have successfully chowed down on a habanero pepper, that doesn't mean she didn't go down without a fight. The 35-year-old jokingly managed to tell her challenger, Trisha Yearwood, "I can't stand you," while holding back tears.

Hello guys, welcome back to my website. Today I want to discuss something about Saber the Spacetime Swordmaster. This the swiftest hero from Mobile Legends mobile game. However, how far do you know about this hero? Can you play this hero? What role did you choose for this hero?
Saber The Spacetime Swordmaster
Saber is the best killing machine from his kind. His creator even still thirsting for more power because he wants to make his creation be the strongest among everyone. That's why that mad scientist gathering the DNA from every best swordsman from all around the world to make the ultimate swordsman and he named it Saber. One swing from his sword can tear a hole in spacetime, allowing him to travel to any place and time. The consequent of his great knowledge and skill as a swordsman is being lonely. However, even he's lonely he still unbeatable and hard to defeat. So, in order to find new challenges for him, he swings his sword once more and makes a hole, ripping the fabric of time and space to the land of dawn. He prays that he will get a worthy opponent to match his swordsmanship in there.
What do you think about the story of Saber? He still thirsts for an opponent to match his swordsmanship. I feel sorry for him after reading his story. I really know how it feels when you are being so lonely but if you are lonely because no one can match or survive against you? It's really giving me a whole new perspective about challenges. Well, after reading his background story lets move to the build for Saber so don't go anywhere and stay tuned.
Let's Make Monster Saber!
After reading the story of Saber that thirst for an opponent that can attract his intention. You as the player of Saber also need to sharpen your skill to play this hero. Don't put a shame on Saber's face as the greatest swordsman. Here are some suggestion from me about Saber item build.
- Speed up your speed to chase down your enemies.
- You can try to build Warrior Boots. This boots will be providing you with some armor to increase your defense. This item also giving you some movement speed to chase down your enemies. Saber is a really fragile hero in the early game.
- Increase your survivability with life steal.
- Try to choose between Tooth Of Greed and Fallen Sword, both of this items have unique attack modifier that will turn a few percents of your attacks to blood. You can take an advantage of your heroes who have much better attack speed than the other heroes in the early game.
- Lack of damage can be solved by more crits!
- You can build Blade Of Destruction as the problem solver for your lack of damage against tanker hero. However, this is a really expensive item so you need to do a lot of jungle and farming a bit.
- Reduce your enemies armor.
- You still think your enemies too tough to be killed? Try to make Crazed Reaper this item will reduce your enemies armor by 7 everytime you launch a hit to them. This effect also can be stacked up to 5 times.
I left two more slots so you can add another item up to your condition when playing this game. I hope my article today about Saber the Spacetime Swordmaster can be used by you to gain more victory. If you think this article helpful for you, please share this article with your friends or another Mobile Legends player. I really hope we will meet again in another chance. See you soon guys.

White Science Labs is a full-service natural and organics private label personal care products manufacturer and offers timely and affordable product development and product design; technical support including packaging and label procurement; warehousing for excess products packaging, contract filling, multi-product packaging, shipping and logistics support.
- Benefits of Using a Private Label Skin Care Manufacturer
- Working With a Private Label Skin Care Manufacturer
- The Private Label Manufacturing Process
- Filling and Packaging
- Brand and Packaging Considerations
What We Do
Private Label Skin Care
White Science Labs has been in business since 1999. We help our brand clients with product development, packaging, and shipping. We are your partner in creating your own private label skin care line. We work with spa owners, estheticians, and salon owners to bring their product ideas to life with our custom formulation process.
Custom Manufacturing
At White Science Labs, we've been doing custom manufacturing since 1999. We have custom formulated products for retailers, distributors, and entrepreneurs as well as spa owners, estheticians, and other skin care businesses. Innovative Natural Science drives our custom manufacturing process for brand clients.
Wholesale Skin Care Products
In addition to our private label and custom manufacturing solutions, we also bring you wholesale skin care products direct from the manufacturer at truly competitive prices.
When it comes to producing a new product, a private label skin care manufacturer can help you formulate and manufacture new products. Many of our brand clients utilize us for new product development so they can focus on marketing and distributing their product.
Allowing the brand to specialize in marketing and the manufacturer to specialize in the creation of the product makes a more efficient process. These benefits in efficiency are passed on to the customer in the form of higher quality products at reasonable prices. The customer learns they can rely on the brand, which increases customer loyalty and sales.
Once you're ready to go into production, there are three basic steps: envision your ideal product, formulate it or (buy direct), and find the right label/packaging. Unlike other Private Label Skin Care Manufacturers, WhiteScience Labs does not provide a pre-designed product in a bottle with a label and company brandname on it. In this way, we allow your products to have a more personal touch, and you have more control over the look and feel of your brand.
Stock or Buy Directproducts are pre-formulated options that can be packaged and labelled with your brand. We have a full complement of bath, beauty, and health products, with complete disclosure of ingredients beneath product's description. Samples are available for everything, so you can see firsthand the quality of our products and decide what's right for your brand.
The Custom Manufacturing Private Label option is for customers who want the ultimate creative input in their products. Before looking into the Custom Manufacturing Process, we do recommend exploring the stock products available in the WhiteScience Labs Buy Direct Section, as it is likely you will find products and formulas that already meet your needs. If not, we will begin the process of modifying these formulas, or starting from scratch, to turn your vision into reality.
Once you have explored our stock samples and know which bases you like, or if you already know you want to create your own custom formula, we can work with you through our Lab Sample process on creating your own product. Read more about our process and start on the initial forms here. You will use the Form A if you have a prototype or sample product for us to work from for any reason (texture, ingredients, color, smell etc.) or Form B if you just have a basic idea but no sample.
Developing high quality skin care products requires an in-depth understanding of the many potential raw ingredients used to make these products. With more than 30 years of experience, our lab is well-versed in how these ingredients interact with each other, as well as skin and hair. Once each specific product has been developed, the manufacturer will source and store the ingredients necessary to create products in a safe and timely manner.
Choosing a Manufacturer
Finding the very best private label skin care manufacturer is perhaps the single most important decision you will make as you launch your personal care product brand. To assist you in this decision here are some things to consider:
- Remember that you are setting up a strategic partnership so be sure to find a legitimate manufacturer! If you're looking overseas, be aware that the potential for fraud is much higher; always check listings (and reviews if possible) to verify the company is real.
- Ask for recommendations from other companies or industry trade groups. Investigate the history, processes, and quality controls at each manufacturer.
- Ask each manufacturer how long they have been in business. You are putting your money, your brand reputation, and your formulations into the manufacturers hands. It is important to find someone who has the experience and knowledge to produce quality products.
- Pay attention to the service you receive BEFORE you have a signed contract. If they are responsive during your exploration process they are likely be responsive when they are your chosen manufacturer.
- Ask about additional charges. Hidden costs may include manufacturing minimums, storage fees, and transportation costs.
- Find out which manufacturers are on the cutting edge of the industry, working with the hottest brands, and helping them to launch lines with unique and effective raw materials. This is the manufacturer you want!
This is the final step to getting your product to market. At WhiteScience Labs, we believe in following the customer's lead when branding and packaging personal care products. If you look at your bathroom counter, you will see what kind of packaging and products you and your family purchase. If you create a product you love and that you would purchase, you will sell it better than if someone else created for you. For this reason, we have a page specifically to help you find reliable packaging vendors that can help you source your bottles/jars/lids/pumps, etc., labels and unit cartons. These preferred vendors work directly with WhiteScience customers who are prepared to answer all of your questions and guide you through the process.
If you already have your own vendors, by all means you can use them for packaging and labels. We mention preferred vendors in case you're new to the industry or are looking for something different. Our list includes only companies we've had good experiences with and feel confident will meet your needs.
After you've chosen a vendor and finished the design and selection process, the vendor will send samples to us. Why? To finish the process, we need a full sample set along with a completed drop-fill sample packaging submission form filled out and emailed/faxed back. Once we have all of the details, we can do the final step: pricing.
We know it may seem overwhelming in the beginning, but with step-by-step guidance from WhiteScience Labs, we'll help you bring your product line and brand to life. We look forward to working with you on this venture! Good packaging is essential to the success of your Private Label skin care brand. For new customers, the packaging will often be the only thing they know about your brand, so it must accurately convey the personality and message that will resonate with your target audience.
As you choose your packaging, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- All packaging should reflect your brands personality. From fonts and colors to materials and size, everything about the package should reinforce the brand image and personality.
- The design should catch customers' attention. Unique packaging can really help your brand jump off the shelves and induce customer trial.
- Carefully consider your packaging materials. More and more customers are basing their decisions on the thoughtfulness and care of the brand. Your choice to use packaging that is not only user friendly but also environmentally friendly may make a difference to your customer.
- The shape and/or size of your product will have an impact on the manufacturing, packaging, and transportation processes. Unusually-shaped packaging may increase production cost. However, you may decide that it is worth the additional charge to fit your brand personality or stand out on the shelves.
- Before you finalize your packaging choice, consult your skin care manufacturing partner to understand how the packaging will impact the product process and price. Most private label skin care manufacturers will need to see the bottle or jar or tube, including the cap and label, before they can give you a price quote on your product.
- Don't forget to plan for transportation packaging. This refers to the boxes that the finished product is packaged and shipped to the next point in the sales process. Unusual packaging may require a special transportation box. Transportation boxes should protect your products for the duration of shipping. By properly protecting your finished goods, you may save thousands of dollars.

SCHUBERT Works for Four Hands Vol 1
Having recorded Schubert's complete piano music on period instruments, Jan Vermeulen now launches a cycle dedicated to the composer's abundant catalogue of piano duets, abetted by his former student Veerle Peeters. Their 1825 30 Tröndlin instrument has a basically gentle sonority that nevertheless conveys power and definition, as well as a wonderful muted quality in softer passages.
The disc commences with an energetic, forward-moving and beautifully thought-out reading of the Lebensstürme duo. The pianists' sensitivity and stylistic surety masks the three-movement Divertissement à la hongroise's rambling tendencies, while the instrument's timbral distinctions particularly hit home, for example in the 'semi-sustained' pedal effects in the Andante's cadenza-like episode or the way the long Allegretto's tremolos vary in shape and expression, rather than rattle on like a silent-movie pianola. The duo wisely refrain from hurrying the first Marche militaire's Allegro vivace, allowing the music to breathe without losing excitement. The second march takes on a welcome pomp and grandiosity that contrasts to the dead weight we often get from similarly slow performances, while the third transpires on a grand scale in the manner of an orchestral piece transcribed for piano duet. Here I especially like the elegant transitions between sections by way of the pianists' slightly elongated up-beats.
By contrast, the closing Deutscher are all about Viennese charm and affection, and Vermeulen and Peeters lovingly demonstrate how to float Schubert's disarming lyricism in seven blissful minutes. Vermeulen's informative and well-written booklet-notes add value to a most desirable first instalment that augurs well for this cycle's subsequent volumes.

Home Show
Shriners-Wilmington, MA
2008 National Award Winner, NRI Conference, Las Vegas
Michael Payne stops by!
My assistant Lisa and I staged a living room complete with a faux fireplace and mantle for the Shriners Home Show. This was not an easy chore considering the area is basically an enclosed cement football arena with curtain partitions!
Many people stopped by to chat and have a look at the monitor set up with colorful before and after's. Questions were answered throughout the day. The winner of the raffle was Phiche Thompson, she won a One Day Room Makeover.
Several people including other vendors at the show stopped to tell us that we had the best looking booth there! It was great to meet and chat with you all, see you again next year.
Of course, my favorite part of the event was meeting Michael Payne of Designing for the Sexes on HGTV. He was the featured speaker there and did a great job. He walked around checking out the booths and since ours was the only design booth he stopped in to chat and of course smile for some pics. Thank you Michael!
