I did not become a CPA overnight or even in just a year. It's more than that.
It's been several days since I saw my name etched on that roll of successful examinees. I tell you it is a mixture of overwhelming joy and heart-pinching sadness. Well not everyone who takes that dreadful exam makes it through, a hurtful reality.
How did I become a Certified Public Accountant? It's simple and I just realized it after I passed which is but appropriate. Commit, Pray, Achieve. That's it!
Believe it or not, Accountancy was my first choice even though I know not anything about the course. I held onto the dream that I someday I will become an accountant and I committed myself to it. During my college years I gave everything that I could. I read & solve in advance, I review until dawn (when I'm in the mood and not sleepyJ) and equally important I roam around with my friends. Reading the chapter once to me was not enough to internalize the concepts. Yes, internalize and I am glad I had done it before because those mnemonics I mastered are still in my mind. Mistakes are also good teachers because they remind you where you went wrong so you may get it right this time. Relying on pure luck especially in the board examination is risky. Do what you have to do. After all you make your own luck.
Your attitude towards what you are heading is what keeps you on tract. If you do not love Accounting, I mean by heart, try. I say try because it's worth it. IT IS WORTH IT.
I did not become a CPA alone. I have God with me all throughout the journey. I constantly asked guidance and good health especially during the review and He never failed me. I took all the exams as if He was right beside me, as if it is the two of us answering the same questions, as if the exam was for me and for Him. I really did and my faith in Him was stronger than ever. God helps and He knows what is best for us. A belief that a God exists makes you human but having faith in the Lord Almighty makes you more. Prayer ALWAYS works and it is effective.
Envisioning yourself with the title will make you more motivated. It is synonymous to passing the board exam and claiming the title. Then you begin to imagine your loved ones rejoicing because of your feat. Then you will have no time to entertain failure. What will remain are the urge and the hope to achieve what you have dreamt of, to make those who believe in you happy and proud.
Those who have been through this journey may agree what I have shared. It is a different feeling when you become a CPA as what they say and I am still on my way to proving it. For now, I am thankful to God for everything that I have. I once did Commit, Pray & Achieve now I can put them together as a 3-letter word forever attached to my name.

Film industry is my surrogate family: Shah Rukh
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is happy that despite being an outsider, the film industry has always been generous to him and says it is his surrogate family.
"I don't have a struggling period to talk about. I just want to thank everyone… the whole film industry embraced me with open arms. If I may use the word, it gave me a surrogate family when I came here. I have been fortunate," Shah Rukh told reporters at the music launch of Rohit Shetty's 'Chennai Express'.
The 47-year-old actor seemed to be fine after his shoulder surgery, as he showed off some dance moves with leading lady Deepika Padukone alongwith background dancers.
Also present on the occasion were South actress Priyamani, Nikitin Dheer, Shekhar Ravjiani of the Vishal-Shekar duo, Singer Neeti Mohan, lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya, producer Ronnie Screwala, T-series head Bhushan Kumar and others.
"It is memorable moment to release the music, it is a beautiful music. It is nice to have SP Balasubramaniam (noted singer) on board, we are huge fans of him. He is 67, but sounds like a 20-year-old. We had one of the best experiences ever to work with a legend," Shekhar said.
Veteran S P has sung the title track 'Chennai Express'
In a novel way of setting the mood for the film, media persons were given 'lungi' (the traditional attire of South India) and cut-outs of trains were also kept at the venue.

ENG-ENDEMO C - Programme (EEC) of demonstration projects and industrial pilot projects (EEC) in the energy field, 1985-1989
From 1985-12-28 to 1989-12-27| See all projects funded under this programme / topic
Previous programmeENG-LIGASF C
Successor programmeENG-THERMIE 1
Programme fundingEUR 360 million
Official Journal ReferenceL 350 of 1985-12-27
Legislative Reference3640/85/(CEE) of 1985-12-20
With due attention to national programmes, to support the Community's energy strategy by encouraging techniques which favour the rational use of energy (economy of energy and substitution of hydrocarbons) and to develop other forms of energy (renewable sources and the liquefaction and gasification of solid fuels).
AbstractComplementing the non-nuclear energy R&D programme (ENNONUC 3C), this programme was not included in the Community's Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (1987-1991). Launched in 1978, it has been carried out in three phases (1978 -1982, 1983-1985 and 1985-1989).
The industrial pilot and/or demonstration of a project can be defined as the link between the earlier R&D stage and the later investment stage. This stage differs from the R&D stage in that its aim is to demonstrate economic viability on an industrial scale. It differs from the investment stage in that the inherent risks are still too high for entrepreneurs.
SubdivisionFour fields:
- Exploitation of alternative energy sources:
Biomass and energy from waste, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydro-electric power, solar energy;
- Energy saving:
Buildings, industry, energy industry, transport;
- Substitution of hydrocarbons:
Solid fuels; electric power; heat transmission, distribution and storage;
- Liquefaction and gasification of solid fuels:
Gasification, underground gasification, liquefaction.
ImplementationThe Commission decides whether to grant support for projects after consulting the Advisory Committee on the Management of Demonstration Projects and Industrial Pilot Projects.
Projects are submitted each year by persons or undertakings or groups of these within the Community following a call for proposals. They may also be prepared and submitted on behalf of small and medium-sized enterprises by bodies in the Member States involved in the promotion of technological innovation.
Demonstration projects concern the exploitation of any potential alternative sources of energy, with the exception of nuclear energy. These are projects which may lead to substantial energy savings by comparison with already commercially available technology, projects which exploit energy processes replacing hydrocarbon-based processes and projects for converting solid fuels into gases and liquids likely to reduce the Community's dependence on imported hydrocarbons.
Industrial pilot projects for the liquefaction and gasification of solid fuels are installations whose capacity and components are large enough to provide the reliable economic and technical data needed to progress from the R&D stage to the demonstration stage and, in certain cases, directly to the industrial and commercial stages.
All projects must exploit innovative techniques, be based on completed R&D work, offer promising prospects, present difficulties with regard to finance and in principle be carried out within the Community. Account is also taken of whether they are the subject of cooperation between persons or undertakings from at least two Member States or whether they offer particularly appropriate solutions with regard to protection of the environment. The contractor responsible for carrying out a project must undertake to exploit, or facilitate exploitation of, the successfully demonstrated technique, process or product and to permit dissemination of the results.
Financial support may be granted for a project as a whole or for various stages of a project. In exceptional cases, when no feasibility study is available on similar projects, such a study may also receive financial support. The level of support will be determined for each project individually. Community support does not exceed 40% of the eligible cost. Total Community and national support should generally not exceed 49%.
The person or persons responsible for carrying out a project supported by the Community must send to the Commission, at least once a year or at its request, a report on the fulfilment of contractual obligations and, in particular, on the progress of work and the expenditure incurred. The Commission makes a periodic report to the Council and the European Parliament on the Regulation governing these projects.

The worst experience I've ever had with on line ordering. I ordered on Dec 25, never received my package. After 13 calls to Kohls, I do not have my order or my money returned!! I still have not had any one from Kohls call me back from Dec 25

Kohl's of Northridge really stepped up and help me when I was haveing a seizure in there store. Thanks to everyone who help stranger in a time of need.

Not only is your customer service abominable, your corporate office receptionist, Mary Beth is beyond rude!
rjlevitt - 4 d 47 m ago
Horrible process, undue stress and time wasted to order a product. When a customer attempts to order a gift, regardless of price, account has not changed in over 1 year, with the available credit, and continues to have cancelled orders with no explanation it is aggravating, and bad service. My grandkids were expecting a large gift for grades, now I have nothing and reason unknown. I was on the phone transferred 4 times until finally giving up just because, again, unknown reason. Why is my account been placed with the fraud department? According to an agent, because the order total. Just lost $700

Dear Kohl's
I would like to bring to your attention a few tings that I have insured in past month with home delivery from your company. First I word like to say. Have been shopping with you for year and a do spend my charge of money there each year, I may not seam big to you but its very big to me.
At Christmas time I order many ting and they came either broken of in disarray because no time or consideration was taking in the packaging and siping department. I had to call return and get replacement form them and one ting I didn't even bother because it was becoming to much.
Then I ordered storage cubes and first they were left at a different tome four door down from me and I would have never known if I didn't walk by and see the boxes and wonder it the were mine and looked at the shipping label and yes they were mine and had the right address on they also, so I had to carry them to my home by myself and they were heavy.
Next had irked a person to Ella me put them together and one was broke so back to the store I had to carry a heavy box and all only to not be able to refund put on my card they have to mail me a check. Still didn't receive it. Then I paid extra shipping cost and they did not want to refund me that. I called to cancel the reorder becaus e the item is so bad and cheep even though i paid a lot for it . I found not cancel it and am waiting for it to be delivered and i called to get that shippping cost taking off and the first person who is a supervisor was not kind and elpful toward me and would not help me. I then did call again and a women did help.
I am a very unhappy customer who is considering not sopping there anymore.

We received letter from Kohls stating that during a recent audit, my ss number was not on file. Thinking this letter was a scam, I called Kohls customer service and was told indeed that if I did not use one of the options to send them my ss number our account would be closed. Their options include: mailing a copy of our W-2, tax return, payroll stub or social security card. When i explained that this was not secure and I was not comfortable sending such vital information through the mail, I was told i could just give the person i was then speaking to, my number over the phone. I told that person, that I certainly would not do that since I had no clue who i was speaking to.
Going on Kohls website, I located the following information that THEY recommend to keep your personal information safe:
Tips to Help Protect Your Personal Information
Be skeptical of requests for account numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, or any other sensitive personal information. Never share sensitive personal information with anyone you do not know, especially if you suspect fraud.
Do not reply to unexpected emails, telephone calls or text messages asking you for personal information. If you have any doubts about the legitimacy of an email, please do not click on any links in that email.
Never share your log-in credentials with anyone.
I find it ironic that they won't follow they're own policies.....time to grind that credit card!!
JAG - 10 d ago
Kohls as a company just lost me as a customer today. I will not spend another penny in this store. Your return policy is outrageous. I ordered several items that were only available online. One was a cowboy hat. I received the hat today and it was shoved inside a box that was too small for it. This, of course, smashed the brim and the crown of the hat and it is misshapen and looks like crap. I only hope the other hat I bought doesn't arrive in the same way. Crushed inside a too small box. The hat will sit on top of the opening of the box, which should be a clue that the box is too small. And their warehouse worker did this. You have to push the thing into the box to make it fit. And I have pictures of this. But can't post them. Then when I call customer service, it is a hassle to get a replacement. I have to either take it back to the store, this was only available online and have them credit my account or return it via UPS and have them credit my account. So after that I have to reorder the product and then use a card to pay for it again. I will never buy something from this company again. They don't respect their customers and put them through a hassle for their mistake. Amazon is a much better company to buy from and they will send a replacement while you send the defective product back. And you don't have to go through the stupid thing of credit, reorder and pay again. This is a stupid policy. Obviously, they don't want more customers like Amazon, who makes more money than Kohls ever will.
Not happy in Colorado - 10 d 18 h ago
I made the unfortunate mistake of ordering a mirror from Kohls because it was not available in your local stores. My order arrived 2 days later than initially promised, broken and falling apart. It was put (not packed) in a box much larger than the mirror and one sheet of plastic pillows (not bubble wrap) was thrown on top of the mirror. I took the item back to my local store and although the clerk refunded the amount of the mirror he could not refund the shipping costs. He had me call shipping from the service desk and they assured me I would also be refunded the shipping costs. The return has appeared as a credit--the shipping has not!
It appears you do not wish to hear from your customers because it took some persistence to find this location and again, I suspect I will be ignored. I tried to call and was informed that I should contact (hidden) which once again had no link to email.
What would I like to see as a result of this? Although I will never again order from Kohls it would be nice if you instructed the people packing shipments on how to do this. My box would have worked for a pillow--not a mirror! Also when you are at fault as was clearly the case in my situation, don't make your customer pay shipping or put them through a process to get their costs back. Also, because I had to make a 24 mile trip to your store--provide something to compensate the customer for all their difficulty. Also don't promise to refund shipping and not follow-through.

I have a bill for an online order TWICE - I can not get it removed even after talking with over 7 customer service reps. The first order was sent BACK to the warehouse as it was undeliverable. I am now being charged a late fee and interest charge. For a 23.20 order I am being billed 77.28. I was told by several reps that I am responsible for the shipping of the order I NEVER received. Plus most reps I spoke to are for the most part speaking broken english and all they care about is getting my payment over the phone. FRUSTRATED and closing my account that I have had for over 15 years. I am done with the lack of customer service from Kohl's.
Sheryl Sanford - 11 d 42 s ago
I scheduled a payment on my card, then when I got the bill I canceled that payment and resubmitted the payment for the full amount due . Kohls took out the canceled payment and then took the new amount twice .... I have a credit balance on my account of 452.11 .... seriously no one noticed this?? So on the day it happened I contacted customer service... and after 4 calls and three supervisors and 4 very different answers ... I still am out 452.11 .... I then contacted the escalation dept at the corporate level .... guess what ??? I got to leave a message because there wasn't anyone there during regular business hours to take my call !!! WTF Kohls !!???? I bounced a check because you took an additional $452.11 from my checking account ! If which your customer service department takes no accountability for. Seriously?
So here I sit waiting on that call back from corporate....
Nathan - 11 d ago
I placed a huge order on the website and never got it I called customer service got hung up on 3 time called again spoke to a supervisor said I will have a credit within 72 hours will it's been a 2 months no credit or product I don't know who to contact
Areyoujoking? - 11 d 19 h ago
I loved my credit card, the sales and etc. Problem came with a mistake on my bills and no one at the 800 number being able to help me. I even had a so called supervisor hang up on me without even attempting to help me. Straight attitude from the jump. So if i can not get the help i need when i need why would i continue to use my card? The people who represent your company make all the difference sometimes. I will never ever shop at Kohls again.
Dori - 11 d 19 h ago
I returned some merchandise to the store. Due to the dollar amount I was told that I would get a corporate refund in 7 -10 days. After 10 days I tried to contact the corporate refund dept. I have now been trying for 4 consecutive days. I have left a call back number 3 times. I even called the corporate office and left my number with a "live" person there and still no response. Now I have been on hold for 3 1/2 hours and still they do not answer. I don't believe at this point they have any intention to actually issue the refund. Kohl's has always been my "go to" place for almost everything. I will be reconsidering that after this experience.
sharon - 12 d 20 h ago
After making a 130$ return to one of your local stores due to sizing issues, I wanted to go back home and repurchase the items in a diff size because my local store didn't carry any of the items. In trying to do that, I was unable to do so because the refund to my KOHLS CC doesn't post for 7 business days!..( my card balance is low because its a new card) I'm really annoyed that the credit should take so long to post, no other cc does that. Now the sale for the items I wanted to repurchase is over!. I think that's a bad business tactic considering you want people to use their Kohls CC.. Really annoyed that I opened up this account because its nothing but a hassle and it's very inconvenient to the consumer.
Beachbum - 12 d ago
It's very strange that they can take your money right away, but if you return something it takes 7 to 10 business days to have the money credited back in your account.
Beachbum - 12 d ago
I am very upset with Kohls. In December my husband died. Our 12 year old grandson wanted a suit like his Grandpa's to wear to the funeral. We went to Kohl's. He found a Chaps navy blue jacket, but could not find the pants in his size. He ended up getting a kaki pair of pants, I told him that we would find the navy blue dress pants later. I have called Kohls customer service a number of times. I have been told if I could find the SKU number, they might be able to track down the pants. I went to my local Kohls and they were sold out of the Navy Blue dress pants. A friend suggested that I look on Amazon and guess what??? There were the pants and I ordered them from Amazon,. It appears that the customer service that Kohls used to provide has gone out the window. The sales associates have been cut to the bare minimum so it is virtually impossible to get any help. What is wrong with your ordering department? Do they not have a way of keeping track of items that sell and need replenished? Right now in the Waldorf Maryland store you have 8 to 10 Chaps Navy Blue jackets and not one pair of dress pants to go with them. Someone needs to wake up before Amazon puts Kohls out of business.
martydotcom - 13 d 19 h ago
After shopping @ Kohls I was offer a 15% discount for applying for a credit card. I was rejected for "excessive obligations in relation to income." I HAVE NO OBLIGATIONS. I don't own a home, Heretofore used only one credit card which has never been late (Chase Special Preferred) comparable to Am Ex Black
With a retirement savings investments in excess of 10 figures + wonderful pension income it .
It impossible to speak to a human being or gat a call back from either Customer Service Contact at either Kohl's or Experian
NO WONDER with idiots like this running the show Kohl's is reportedly teetering on bankruptcy
Amc - 14 d 22 h ago
I have lost my enthusiasm for Kohls for a few reasons. The prices keep going up as the quality keeps going down. The "sweaters" this year are thin acrylic shirts. Overpriced and unappealing. Everything is from China and is cheap quality. My biggest complaint is the buy one get one 50% off. The whole store is filled with those offers which I have yet to buy anything under that deal. I hate that deal. It's an insult and when I comment to the kohls employees they tell me they don't like it either. Same with kohls cash. What a game. It's a pain in the rear and I chose not to play. No store should try to get customers to jump through their hoops to try to get a good deal on cheap merchandise.
Trisha Espinoza - 14 d 18 h ago
Dear Kohls Department Store, I am referencing the attached incident that I am at the point of filing harassment against Kohls. Per the incident documentation as well as the Police Department, I clearly don't owe any money and no items were stolen. I have called the store and spoken to loss prevention as well whom have stated that this was also dismissed. On this date, my daughter and I were exchanging a back pack that had a defective zipper and a pair of shoes for another one. My daughter for some reason set the old back pack down as she picked up another one. Upon walking to the counter to do the return I asked my daughter for the old back pack and that is when she told me she had set it down. I then asked her to go and get the item so we could do the exchange. Now, I notified customer service that she had sat down the back pack not understanding that the exchange had to be done with both. The police then came and we explained that we were at the counter to properly do the exchange when they approached us. It was also explained that my daughter was going back to the area where she had set the back pack down. After the police and loss prevention understood that this was a mistake that happened and had they had waited a few more moments then they would have seen that the exchange was done correctly. No crime has been committed as I was in the store following the proper procedures for returning the items. The police and the loss prevention team also agreed that no crime was committed and allowed us to finish the transaction with customer service. You can verify all the transactions were exchanged properly by looking at the Kohls charge card. I am also happy to provide receipts as no items were stolen from your store. No one had the intention of shop lifting although my daughter made a mistake by sitting the back pack down it was corrected at the customer service counter. Kohls now has also taken this to another level and even shut down my Kohls charge card for no reason as no crime was committed and all transactions can be verified. This money that I am being charged for needs to be deleted as I do not owe any money. Upon calling loss prevention they also agreed that no crime was committed as well as the police. Kohls loss prevention in Golden said they went pursing anything as no crime was committed. This is now becoming harassment for the following reasons: Multiple mailings of money being owed. You are sending it out to a lawyer office. Kohls shutting down my CC Kohls is also heightening my daughters Mental health status and her current DX We did nothing wrong and request that this be rectified as soon as possible or we will go to court and request a trial as well as sue for harassment. We did nothing wrong nor do we owe any money as all items and transactions are accounted for on my charge card. Please fix this as soon as possible or we will have our attorney contact you and be suing for damages, harassment, and mental health of my daughter's anxiety over this matter. Sincerely Trisha Espinoza Sincerely, Trisha Espinoza RE : Jennilynn Martinez

My wife bought a Fitbit Ionic for me for Christmas. I don't like it. We misplaced the receipt and when we tried to return it we were told we couldn't return it because we didn't have a receipt and because my wife had purchase it through the United Mileage Plus X App, a program that they subscribe to, on a gift card they had no way of tracking the purchase. They know exactly how much it cost, they saw the transaction on our United Mileage Plus Explorer Credit Card, but because they couldn't pull it up in their system there was no way to process the refund. The store manager said that the only way she could give me my money back was if she took cash out of the register and then she's probably get arrested for theft. I found that to be a pretty cheesy response, but it's apparent to me that Kohls would rather lose a customer than try to make a customer happy. We will never spend another dime with Kohls. I actually hope, like many brick and mortar companies, that they go out of business.

atter spending literally hoiurs looking for items for my grand daughter's first birthday, going through ebates web site to get additional percent off, looking up some kohls cash, entering all this information etc; I get an email the next day that my order was canceled.
looks like my shipping and billing are different so system decides to cancel orders.
this was the second time since beginning of year that orders were cancelled.
when I called the customer service rep was very very helpful and kind (Danielle), so that was good. she did reorder my things, however, now four things out of stock. spoke with manager Stephanie who also was very nice. stated new system so will probably happen again - are you KIDDING me? I have been ordering from Kohls forever and would sing it's praises to everyone. NOT ANY MORE. PRICES WENT UP - QUALITY ON A LOT OF CLOTHING IS JUNK, AND NOW THE ULTIMATE SLAP - JUST CANCEL MY ORDER. ha - had been using the non-billing address for at least 4 years.
whatever new management Kohls got - SOMEONE FIRE THEM ALL.
so frustrated. probably will just wean myself from ordering from Kohls.
The sad part is that I order from Amazon a lot - and they now use Kohls to return their packages. Ha - first time I used it they lost an item. WOW - Surprise.
thanks for listiening.

I am writing to report the poor customer service I have received from Kohl's in the last several months. I placed an online order in December 3 2017 ( christmas gifts). Unfortunately, I never received the packages. When I contacted Kohls, December 6, 2017 to inquire about why I hadn't received my packages, I was told an investigation would be done and i would be receiving a credit to my account in 7-10 business days. I was also told I would receive an email message regarding this matter It is now January 14, 2018 and I still have not received a credit to my account nor an email message. Each time I talk to someone I am given the run around. I have decided I will definitely close out my Kohls account and never shop there again. I will also be contacting the BBB to report their poor customer service.

Hi Joyce,
I had the SAME EXACT PROBLEM!! I have experienced extremely poor customer service from Kohl's in the last several months. I also placed several online orders in November and December 2017 ( christmas gifts & black friday shopping). Unfortunately, I had two packages that I never received. (and one package that was missing a pair of jeans). When I contacted Kohls, December 7, 2017 to inquire about why I hadn't received my packages, I was told an investigation would be done and i would be receiving a credit to my account in 7-10 business days. Over a month and a half later, and I still haven't received my items, and still haven't received a refund/credit. I was also told I would receive an email message regarding this matter It is now January 17, 2018 and I still have not received my merchandise or a credit to my account nor an email message. Each time I talk to someone I am given the run around. This is the worst company and worst customer service on the planet. I have decided I will definitely close out my Kohls account and never shop there again. I will also be contacting the FTC (about credit card fraud and charging my card without my permission, when the items were supposed to be paid for with KOHLS CASH) and I'll also contact the BBB to report their poor customer service. This company is just a bunch of foreigners overseas (Nicaragua) that will lie, cheat and steal to get your money. They promised they would "re-ship" the items, and that I wouldn't be charged, and instead they charged my credit card over $400+ (unauthorized charges) and never credited back my card (for the missing items) or refunded me the missing $450 in Kohls cash.

After my experience and reading so many poo for these I recommend that a class action lawsuit be made against Kohls. I have a family member who is an attorney and will discuss this in detail. It is shameful the way Kohls has been practicing business. Just plain discusting.

Howards has consistently good food. The service is also excellent. The only drawback is the menu hasn't changed in a long time, so if you live nearby, you get tired of the place after a while even though its always good.4

The latest figures from the Real Estate Institute of QLD (REIQ) revealed that Stockland's residential communities across greater Brisbane are considerably more affordable than the average established home in the same areas.
The REIQ revealed Greater Brisbane's median house price rose almost 2.6 per cent in the three months to December 2016, taking the median house price to $513,000.
However, Stockland's communities at Pallara, North Lakes, Stone Ridge at Narangba, Sovereign Pocket at Deebing Heights, and Vale at Holmview have all offered new home alternatives for thousands of dollars less than that figure.
Home and land packages at Stockland communities start at just $308,466 for a three-bedroom home at Sovereign Pocket at Deebing Heights, which is $204,534 below Greater Brisbane's latest median house price.
Even within the Brisbane local government area, house and land packages at Stockland's Pallara community, just 19km from the CBD, are priced at just $454,870 which is $200,130 below Brisbane LGA's median house price of $655,000.
"The $10,000 increase in the First Home Owners' Grant to $20,000 means that first home buyers who purchase a house and land package before June 30, 2017 could be paying as little as $288,466 for a brand new home," Stockland Queensland General Manager Kingsley Andrew said.
"Buying new also gives customers the opportunity to design and tailor their dream home to suit their individual needs.
"All of our new homes in Stockland residential communities feature the latest architectural designs based on modern living – often with open plan kitchen and dining areas, integrated lounge rooms, separate parents' retreats and kids' entertainment rooms.
"By buying a new home, customers can choose exactly what they want in their new home: how many bedrooms, bathrooms, whether they want a single or double garage, rather than trying to retrofit their family into a home someone else built for a different era, and a different generation 30, 50 or 100 years ago."
Brand new homes generally have lower maintenance costs than established houses and new homes must comply with modern design codes and sustainability standards that reduce energy bills and the impact on the environment.
"There is often a false economy in buying an older established home with a view to renovating it to suit the demands and lifestyle needs of modern living," Mr Andrew said.
"It is well documented that the cost per square metre of renovations usually far exceed the cost per square metre of building a brand new home."

Hello, hope you're having a great summer so far. This year I chose to not have a summer vacay but work on my career, I usually take advantage of the beautiful weather during the weekends and it suits me. What about you?
For today's outfit, I went for a casual look inspired from what bloggers wear in Greece and as you can see we shot in an alley of Oudaya that looks like Santorini.
I'm wearing a black body that I got also in white and wore in my last post. You know that feeling when you like a top so bad, you just can't help but get it in another color? Well that is what I did :p
I wore it with a pair of high waisted ripped jeans that I got from Pimkie, it represents my type of blue in denim, it is airy and perfect for hot summer days.
For shoes, I'm wearing something different from what I usually wear, a pair of espadrilles that remind me of a Moroccan Cherbil. I got them from Charles&Keith. The design and the detailing are just too beautiful that I don't want to wear it alot and get it dirty. There's only one thing that bothered me, I walk a lot and these shoes are not made for it because my feet started to hurt at some point. Lesson learned: wear it to play it cool & when you don't have to walk alot!
To complete the look, I chose to carry a straw bag, some cute small accessories and I was ready to rock the streets of Oudaya.
PS : y'all shall not just like but also reward us with comments, it was hot as fuck that day and we struggled with pictures 🙁

Women in Computing
Hard Problems in Hardness of Approximation: Sharp Thresholds, Parallel Repetition and Unique Games
Dana Moshkovitz Aaronson
Assistant Professor

09:00am - 10:00am

About the Event
Many of the optimization problems of interest to humanity are NP-hard, and most computer scientists believe that they have no efficient algorithms. Focusing on approximation rather than exact optimization might extend the reach of algorithmic technique into the intractable. However, for many NP-hard problems approximating them better than aproblem-dependent threshold turns out to be NP-hard as well. Proving so rigorously is a difficult task, which -- by a leap of thought -- leads to fundamental questions about the nature of proofs and their verification.
Dana Moshkovitz is an assistant professor of Computer Science at MIT.
Her research is in Theoretical Computer Science, and much of it focuses
on the limitations of approximation algorithms and probabilistic checking of proofs.

Thank god for ACs and light-blocking curtains. Sunlight peeked around the edges of the curtain and eight-plus hours of sleep gave me an 8 a.m. wake-up call I didn't mind. I got up and brought Mark an extra glass of water to help him from his Saturday night out. I threw on leggings, a t-shirt and sneakers and headed out to do modern hunting and gathering for breakfast.
I felt like I was walking in a town close to the beach, the air just humid enough, the sun, hazy. I stopped at a corner store that I thought for sure would have eggs and some extras. It didn't. I tried to buy a newspaper but they only took cash. Note to self: remember to always have a couple bills in your wallet.
Plan B. I stopped in the café next door and ordered two breakfasts to go: pulled pork hash and vegetable curry hash. Mark said he wasn't hungry, but I liked the sound of both, so let's hope he was just kidding about being not hungry.
I hadn't grocery shopped in about a week and I was kind of glad I didn't. This morning walk felt just right in a perfectly mundane way.
I got back and made coffee, texted Mark (upstairs) that it was beautiful outside, and made a combo plate of pork and vegetables. Second note to self: more pulled pork and curried vegetables for breakfast.
I opened my computer, turned on a "wistful and delicate film scores" radio station and read a few articles, saving some for future reference. We had plans to go to a food truck fair during the day before going to Mark's parents' house for a belated Father's Day dinner but setting cruise-control seemed more right, so that's what we did.

The tourist season 2017 of the Botanical Gardens of Villa Taranto will begin on March 15 and will end on November 1.
The 16 hectares park houses 20,000 species of particular botanical value that come from every corner of the world. The arrangement allows the species to the park to recreate a set of "gardens", some of which are characterized by geometric designs and other more spontaneous, apparently unusual, very suggestive but each with its own peculiarities.
All the season long you can admire wonderful blooms and beatiful flowers, we suggest you not to miss the tulip weeks from 9th to 25th April. Walk through an amasing serpentine path: the Tulips' maze.
Something more: reach the pier of Villa Taranto by Lake tours boats after enjoyning a panoramic cruise.

Flatpack 2 for Reason 3
Flatpack 2 is the second release from Flatpack Productions Limited and Lapjockey, following on from the award winning Flatpack 1 refill.
FP2 is one of the first refills to take advantage of Reason 3's hugely expanded possibilities, opening the doors to true synth creation and analogue instrument emulation. Flatpack 2 has an even greater wealth of raw element samples, drums, rich textures and ambient soundscapes, perfect for both music production and sound design. The Flatpack 2 Refill is built largely around 4 new instrument concepts constructed within Reason's Combinator environment, and because of the endless programming possibilities, you'll find numerous variations of the following shells:
Kilburn is our framework for re-creating classic synths. We've sampled and looped the raw waveforms from our favourite synths, then carefully copied the signal path and modulation options, filter and LFO ranges, etc. from the original instruments. Combinator's fully modular environment, and assignable programmable front panel system, allows us to create far more accurate emulations than any standard sampler could manage.
Scope is a family of Combinators for generating soundscapes, pads, textures and just about any kind of rich evolving sound beds you can imagine. 100 Scope starting points are provided in the Flatpack 2 refill, each of which can be customised to go off in any direction you like. Each basic Scope contains 2 elements from Flatpack 2's library of weird and wonderful recordings (all looped seamlessly of course). A crossfader allows you to blend the sounds to your liking while other controls determine how the sounds evolve and interact. Scope is dark, disturbing, and atmospheric and perfect for film/TV music.
Boxmoor is our Combinator-based drum machine. Our starting point was inspirational drum machines like the Korg ER-1 and Elektron MachineDrum, but with the added flexibility of design afforded by the Combinator. Boxmoor offers improved sound and real-time control compared to the original ReDrum instrument.
Rex Dex is a collection of rex-based loop players. Rex Dex brings incredible control and new life to loops in Reason, with several tricks up its sleeve for mangling and transforming your rex loops. Of course, we've produced a collection of new loops to use with this Combi, in addition to all your favourites from Flatpack One and any other refill.

I was out shopping yesterday when I stumbled across a really smelly baby diaper rolled up in the trash! I reached my hand into the nasty trash can and pulled out a poo filled baby diaper! The diaper was so small and full of the nastiest baby poop! I grabbed the diaper and brought it into the big bathroom stall. I want to play with this baby poop filled diaper!
I slowly open the diaper so I can really look at the baby's poo. It's so smelly! I'm sad that it's cold! I wish I had found this baby's poo when it was nice and fresh and still warm!
I start getting so excited from actually finding a poo filled baby diaper! I bring the smelly load to my nose and take a big sniff! Mmm! It's so good! I need to taste it! I stick out my tongue and lick the baby load! It's so sweet! The sweetest poop I've ever tasted in my life! It tastes so good! I can't get enough of it!
Watch me licking and sniffing this amazing load of baby poo! I love smelling and tasting this baby's poop as you watch me! I know it's so taboo and so wrong but it's turning me on so much! I can't help it that I'm a nasty poo loving girl!

I got the idea when a lot of back history of the characters never made it into the comic. Most of the stories take place before Cardcaptor Torika starts, and a few are from when after it ends. I hope you all enjoy.

Playing Super Hero Squad For The First Time.
That's our grandson Lee, playing his first trading card game. Marvel Super Hero Squad not only teaches the strategies of deckbuilding and attack priority, it also causes massive amounts of bliss.
Lee had drawn the cards he needed to set up the Blade deadly healing combo. His purple Keeper was still in place when he went all Knight Night. It was a beautiful thing.
I never imagined that life could be this much fun. Upper Deck's Marvel Super Hero Squad Game is alive and available at just the right time in history. Teaching the next generation how to celebrate the mythos of the Marvel Universe by flipping cardboard on the kitchen table is my idea of the best entertainment ever.
It doesn't get any better than this.
First Available Armored Spider-Man Card Spotted On eBay.
The screenshot you see above shows the first time an Armored Spider-Man had appeared on the Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game at HeroUp.com. Now one is available for sale on eBay. It is the first one we have spotted, and the bidding starts at $600. Wow.
The Armored Spider-Man and the Phoenix Games SHS League.
Have you seen this card? It holds a one-time-only code to unlock the Armored Spider-Man in the Super Hero Squad Online MMO. The boxes are being ripped open as we speak, but so far there has not been a single one of these treasures available for sale. It is an extremely valuable item indeed.
Upper Deck released a physical version of the Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game on April 24th, and tournament leagues are forming already. Get ready to have a blast, to infinity!
Mr. Fantastic is absolutely sick in this game. You may think the 2 attack is not worth the 12 power he spends, but think again. If you can't block him on the first hit, his Infinity Blaster will keep going. And going. And going.
The Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game provides some of the biggest fun in the history of cardboard. Today we have the pleasure of expanding it by at least eleven. We are proud to announce the first location of Super Hero Squad Local League play.
If you live near Orlando, keep a watchful eye on the Phoenix Games upcoming calendar. They had such a tremendous response to the Sneak Preview for the Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game, they are ready to start a tournament series. Here we go!

If you are ready to dig in to the buried treasure and get your hands on an Amored Spider-Man of your own, or if you just want to enjoy one of the most perfectly balanced trading card games ever developed, head on over to the thread on Comic Book Resources. Then stay tuned to SquadCards.com for all the latest news and updates, this party is getting really good.
First Video From the Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game!
Oh my.
Mr. Puffin Rabbit, one of the world's foremost aficionados of the Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game, has created a masterpiece. This is the first video box break of all time for this game. It has a soundtrack that is simply sublime. It unveils a few cards that have never been seen before in real life. It blazes and new trail, and now we can all set sail into the future together.
Hero Up, on video!
Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game Gets Hyped Up.
Enraged Impossible Artist Pulls Off the Daredevil Elektra Trick.
Imagine that Keeper sitting like a deadly enchantment on the board. Then a killer combination of this…
The brilliant online strategist who flung that massive damage was named Enraged Impossible Artist. When you register on HeroUp.com to begin playing, the system gives you a name.
This one will live forever in my memory.
Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game In Stock Now.
Here at SquadCards.com we heartily recommend Dave and Adam's Card World in Buffalo for all your cardboard desires. They have Upper Deck's Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game available now, get yours today!
First Look At The Armored Spider-Man Inside The Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game.
That's what it looks like. The shiniest star in the Super Hero Squad Online Game. The first Armored Spider-Man ever. My screen name is Mars Troll Clock and I had the honor of vanquishing this virtual celebrity in a card game.
Good luck in your own quest to grab hold of greatness, since the only way to get an Armored Spider-Man on your squad is to pull this piece of cardboard from a pack. Upper Deck has inserted a few ultra-rare copies in the Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game and the treasure hunt is on.
If you are one of the fortunate ones, like the illustrious Astral Zephyr, you will be able to laugh out loud as your virtual opponents bug their eyes out at your unusual outfit. These are very exciting times.
Back From The Dead With Blade.
First Armored Spider-Man Unlocked!
That is Astral Zephyr, the first player in the world to unlock the Armored Spider-Man in the Super Hero Squad Online game. The code he needed to beat everyone to the punch was found on a card pulled out of a pack in Redmond, Washington during last night's Sneak Preview tournament at Uncle's Games. You are looking at history.
The screenshot was taken by our newest SquadCard Champion, Venusian Iguana Hat! And the card was not actually ripped from the pack by Astral Zephyr…
Grey Enchantress Spirit actually pulled the card, but Astral Zephyr has the best kids ever and he got to pilot the Armored Spider-Man before anyone else in the world. He is now a Super Hero Squad superstar.
Kings Games Crowns New SquadCard Champions!
For a while now, the prizes have been plentiful at HeroUp.com for players in the Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game. Now things are getting real, in real life.
Those are actual physical cards that were busted out of their containers by Kirby Monster. Inside each starter deck is a shiny suprise, and the Hulk foil card was captured in motion by the brilliant madman known as daredeville.
Not only do we have those glorious holographic beauties to enhance our favorite game thanks to Upper Deck, we also have a slew of cards that have never appeared online. We will leave you with three new strategy nuggets that were revealed this weekend at Kings Games in New York. Congratulations to daredeville and Kirby Monster, our new SquadCard Champions!

The Savage She-Hulk Combo of The Tyrannical Mason.
That was the scene last night around midnight on HeroUp.com inside the Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game. I had the extreme pleasure of being matched against The Tyrannical Mason. Not only is she an integral founder of the original tournament community, she has built the most insane She-Hulk Combo deck ever seen. I got destroyed by a big green beautiful barrage of attacks never before witnessed. It was amazing.
On the turn before her combo went off, Mason had strategically blocked with Double Slam Sandwich. This assured that it would be the top card of her discard pile. I can still hear the maniacal laughter as the coin flip raised the power to 5 for her Surprise Witness. She played She-Hulk's silver killer and it got two hits through. Then she played the sandwich.
If I could not block this little green monster, the biggest beats in the game were coming my way. Since she was on 5 power, Mason would have 8 full points to bludgeon me senselessly. I didn't have the block, and she had two options to finish me off.
Since I was running a purple-centric deck, the Strongest One There Is was saved to block with. I got a Group Hug brought on by a Double Slam Sandwich introduced by a Surprise Witness… all on the same turn!!! It was a beautiful thing.
Head on over to HeroUp.com right now and start trying some combos of your own. This party is getting really good.
More Foundation Previews, More She-Hulk!
Jennifer Walters is the sensational She-Hulk. She is one of the few modern Marvel myths that actually got her own comic book title in her first appearance. Starting in 1980, gorgeous green Girl Power was incarnated in the collective consciousness of humanity like never before. Now it gets better than ever.
Through the heroic efforts of Upper Deck and The Amazing Society, Marvel's Super Hero Squad is moving up to the land of deckbuilding delights. Starting April 24th, trading card gamers will be able to bring the big beats with a charming new cardboard crusher. She-Hulk is about to throw down.
As you can see, She-Hulk's strategy rewards players who empty their hands and fly by the seat of their pants. In this game, the most effective way to thwart opposing plans is to block their attacks directly with the correct color from the hand. This makes her extremely attractive to build a deck with.
Sometimes you're the She-Hulk. Sometimes you're the wall. In the Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game, either way is bliss. Our most beloved modern myths are coming to life on competitive cardboard, and the first tournaments are right around the corner. Check the list of Sneak Peek tournament locations, study the game and participate in the most comprehensive SHS TCG forums on Earth, and make sure you stay tuned to SquadCards.com for frequent updates as we create a big beautiful future together.

Marvel Super Hero Squad Foundation Preview: She-Hulk
Today we are proud to launch a series of sneak previews for Upper Deck's upcoming Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game. It fills us with extreme pleasure to start things off big, bouncy, and green. The sensational She-Hulk is our lead-off hitter and she is packing a powerful punch. Let's examine her cards closely.
The ability above is simply amazing. Whatever strategy your opponent is running, She-Hulk can take it off the rails. She will expose their hand, and remove all the cards they were planning to beat you with. Case closed, good game. Cross Examination for the win.
You can start smacking your opponent for 8 damage on the first turn with She-Hulk's Unbelievable Strength, but it will cost you. Unless your opponent has a green block to stop the hit immediately, you will lose one card from your hand as a drawback to the massive early beats. Usually the smaller hand size would be a liability, but Jennifer Walters always has a plan. Besides being the hottest heavy hitter in the Marvel myths, she is a lawyer.
Discarding cards from your own hand may seem self-destructive. She-Hulk doesn't think so. When she gets her Back to the Wall, she punches even harder. An additional 2 damage from this Keeper with an empty hand makes all those discards pretty sweet.
Collecting cards with killer cool artwork of Marvel characters is big fun on its own, and playing them in a spectacularly balanced strategy game is extra delicious. Like a Double Slam Sandwich. She-Hulk really knows how to throw down the massive advantage in the Marvel Super Hero Squad Trading Card game. This card not only allows you to play a second card per turn, it helps you pay for it. If you like big green beauty as much as we do, you won't want to miss it. The game releases on April 24th, stay tuned for more.
Diving Into The Super Hero Squad Game.
The wait is almost over. Upper Deck's Marvel Super Hero Squad is about to explode onto the deckbuilding scene. Today we will dive into some of the most exciting cards from the online game, and then announce two of the featured regional game centers that will be holding pre-release tournaments on April 21st.
Take the Leap of Faith with us. The Marvel Universe is returning to the TCG scene with a boisterous belly laugh and a thrilling new game.
If you have the Eternal Thirst for collectible card games featuring the coolest myths on Earth, you will not be able to resist. Blade has the hunger. His theme allows strategy decks to be created with massive healing powers. When you add this card, he also drains the opponent in big gulps. Yum.
One of the major game mechanics in the Marvel Super Hero squad game rewards players who play with mulitple Keepers. The Big Bang brings its bonus by going solo. Explosive potential.
"She's got game." Indeed she does. In fact, with the Rebound of Ms. Marvel into the realm of trading card games, there is a fast break rolling down the court unlike any other we have ever seen. Our favorite super heroes and villains are getting the tongue in cheek treatment within the confines of a spectacularly balanced strategy game. The packs are ready to be shipped, and the community is abuzz with anticipation. Let the games begin!
The potential of the Super Hero Squad Trading Card Game is unlimited, much like the power level of Rogue's new eyes. You will be able to enjoy the deep strategy and delicious luck factor on cardboard in less than three weeks. If you want to experience the ability to beatdown a deranged deck of Marvel characters before the rest of the world, you can attend a pre-release tournament on April 21st. You can learn the game on the spot, and be one of the first to dive into the game.
Today we are announcing the two exclusive regional events on the East coast. Tommorrow we will announce the locations for the rest of the country. Our playgroup from Miami will be traveling to Orlando in a quest to become one of the first Champions of the game, and we will be publishing tournament reports from all the regional events. We hope to see you there!

Perhaps you're looking for fresh ideas to amp up the yuletide spirit in your office this year—something other than the usual Christmas party and karaoke session. Making the holidays special for your employees is a wonderful way to boost team morale, keep staff motivated, and build a sense of camaraderie, all while showing staff that you appreciate their hard work all year long.
At Graphic Gasoline, we love appreciating our employees a little bit extra during the holidays, so to keep the holiday cheer alive, here are our top suggestions for making the holidays extra special in your office.
Give the gift of relaxation
If you've got administrative or support staff who help you stay on top of things day in and day out, a box of chocolates or bottle of wine may not convey just how much you appreciate what they do. Instead, why not give a gift that will truly help them to unwind, relax and re-energise? Whether you'd like to give a full spa day or a soothing aromatherapy massage, your employees are sure to love a rejuvenating hour or two at our luxury spa.
Hold a Christmas competition
Rather than the usual Secret Santa affair, get creative with office festivities and hold a Christmas competition among staff. It could be a month-long contest to see who performs the best, or something playful like the best decorated cubicle, but come up with a grand prize like a winter mini-break or a New Year's Eve getaway so that your colleagues really get into it!
A change of scenery
Instead of throwing your annual party at the office or in your local pub, invite employees to an elegant Holiday party at a unique and fun venue. It's the perfect opportunity for your employees to glam up for the holiday celebrations where your colleagues will certainly feel the Christmas cheer.
Even the smallest gestures of appreciation can go a long way towards creating that wonderful Christmassy feeling at your workplace, whether it's inviting colleagues out for a quaint afternoon tea, or if you're throwing a full-on holiday bash.
