This document provides an overview of casinos established by First Nations groups in Canada as a means to boost economic security and independence. It discusses both the positive perspectives and risks associated with this approach. Positively, casinos can generate substantial revenues for communities and funding for programs and infrastructure, mirroring successful examples from Native American tribes in the US. However, casinos also bring social risks like higher rates of problem gambling in indigenous communities. The document explores both sides of this complex issue around First Nations pursuing casinos as an economic development strategy.

Lotteries have both positive and negative effects on society according to the document. Positively, some states use lottery money to fund education, senior citizen programs, and other public services. However, the document also argues that lotteries have negative effects. They prey on unrealistic hopes of winning big and disproportionately drain money from low-income individuals who can least afford it. While advertising portrays winning as common, the actual odds of winning a large lottery jackpot are extremely low. On balance, the document concludes that lotteries have a negative impact on society.
Daily fantasy sports sites like FanDuel and DraftKings allow users to enter multiple daily fantasy sports contests with changing rosters. This model has proven very lucrative, with the industry estimated at $26.5 billion annually in the US and Canada alone. However, the legal status of daily fantasy sports is uncertain, as regulators in some areas have ruled it a form of gambling. Additionally, while sites are highly valued, neither FanDuel nor DraftKings are profitable yet due to large advertising budgets. Rising regulatory pressures and questions around the skill element of the games could threaten the long-term viability of the industry.
Publicgaming International (Lottery) Magazine - Nov/Dec 2014Oliver Grave
This document is the November/December 2014 issue of the magazine International Public Gaming. It features interviews and articles about leaders in the lottery industry who are driving innovation and entrepreneurship to reshape the industry. Lotteries are becoming more market-driven and disrupting the games-of-chance industry by migrating players to healthier gaming options that are both fun and benefit good causes. The focus on maximizing lifetime customer value rather than short-term profits is positioning lotteries as the sustainable business model for the future of the industry.
This document summarizes the issue of public funding for new sports stadiums in the United States. It provides several case studies where team owners leveraged local governments and taxpayers to fund new stadium construction through various subsidies and tax increases. While economic benefits are often promised, studies found the actual economic impact was far less than projected. The wealthy team owners and other corporate interests benefit significantly from these deals at the expense of taxpayers and local businesses.
The document discusses the growing gaming industry, noting that it is worth over $70 billion worldwide and Australians spent $2 billion on video games last year. It also discusses the rise of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) like World of Warcraft which has over 12 million paid subscribers. The document then explores the implications of these trends for marketers, including the potential for in-game advertising and using gaming as a marketing platform, as gaming demographics are becoming more diverse. It provides some examples and statistics on the effectiveness of in-game advertising at increasing brand awareness and driving related consumer actions.
This document is a cover letter and resume from Anupama Dhanjani seeking a new opportunity. She has 10 years of experience in human resources and administration, including working as an HR and Admin Officer for Wilhelmsen Ships Service in Dubai. She possesses relevant qualifications and is proficient in key areas like HR operations, recruitment, and office administration. She is looking to transfer her skills and expand her knowledge base at an organization where she can make a meaningful contribution.
Encryption is a process of encoding information in a way that only authorized parties can read it. It was first used over 2000 years ago by Julius Caesar and ancient Greeks to hide military communications. There are two main types of encryption - symmetric encryption which uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt, and public-key encryption which uses a public key to encrypt and a private key to decrypt. Encryption is now widely used to protect data on computers and transmitted over networks by individuals, companies and governments.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Establishment of casinos by First Nations - MKing - 2014

“The fox in the henhouse: perceptions on the establishment of casinos by First Nations peoples as vehicles to economic security”.

Introduction
The atmosphere is strikingly upbeat, as you first enter the large main room, filled with video lottery terminals, card tables, row upon row of slot machines and bar services. The inviting sounds of winner bells and jackpot sirens immediately fill your ears. Casinorama, located just North of Toronto in Ontario draws a multitude of visitors seeking their fortunes, or those out to enjoy an evening with select performing artist attractions from near and far. On the surface, everything about this casino appears just like any other. But looks can be deceiving and there is more to realize about Casinorama than initially presented.
Casinorama is one of many new casinos located and run by First Nations. It is like any other casino with its games of chance, card tables, entertainment and services – but unlike other casinos in that it is an initiative of one or more First Nations groups with interest in boosting its economic baseline with a lucrative and recently popularized money-maker. In the latter third of the 20th century, casinos amongst other gambling initiatives have become a multi-billion dollar industry (Campbell, 2003). Recently some First Nations in Canada have pursued increased
2. II
gambling opportunities within their communities (Kelley, 2002) and in the case of Casinorama, 130 First Nations groups actually share in the profits realized from that casino opened up by and for them.
Historically Speaking
There are some who would say gambling is as old as humans themselves; a part of our culture and way of life to some extent. Initially frowned upon in Canada mostly as immoral and problematic – it slowly gained ground through utility and ability to provide monies quickly for groups seeking funding for various projects, while simultaneously turning a blind eye to, or redefining outright what it means to experience, gambling problems. For First Nations however, there was little if any gambling that focused on making vast amounts of money. It was more for entertainment of value-lesson and provided no significant individual winnings. As time and circumstances change, so can the perceptions of practices. The sweeping changes that took place with European colonization and restructuring of North American societies on whole, also brought along a different way of understanding what gambling was. Gambling went through a transition phase from being immoral, deceitful behavior into acceptable, responsible practice within which only people who lacked self-control defined the largest problem with it. Excessive gambling was transformed from vice to disease (Campbell, 2003). Later, with casinos on Native land in the U.S. appearing to work well, why could they not work well for First Nations in Canada too? The perceived success of many American Indian casinos has actually served as a model for First Nations in Canada to refer to in support of a casino start-up (Kelley, 2002). While not a part of First Nations Heritage, could they be utilized to help boost the First Nations wealth? What harm might come to our community through this endeavor? These were now some of the questions being raised within the Canadian First Nations communities. Casinos are now, in the eyes of some, the pathway for struggling First Nations communities to become wealthy, self- sustaining and economically vibrant communities once again. Casinos can bring significant employment and income gains, increased infrastructure value, and benefits for surrounding businesses (Belanger et al, 2012, Durell, 2013). A new source of economic wealth like a casino can also bring new and devastating community problems. Those problems are often brushed aside or ignored when such a high potential for profits from a casino are calculated and sought. The provision of and participation in gambling is potentially changing traditional Aboriginal values and beliefs (Belanger et al, 2012).
3. III
What lays ahead for First Nations communities who want to become economically independent by way of the casino? Are the problems associated with casino gambling large enough to deter First Nations from signing on? Studies have noted that indigenous people have some of the highest rates of problem gambling (Belanger and Williams, 2012). With the very identity and values of Native communities seemingly under additional threat by the white society originating, profit-oriented casino initiatives – Is such an undertaking for a Native community worth the inherent risks?
Gaming for First Nations
The practices inherent in casino gambling - the games and gaming atmosphere and games of chance themselves are not new for First Nations. Long before Europeans arrived on First Nations soil, the men and women of First Nations communities were playing games. Gaming has ancient roots with First Nations, often being a part of stories or rituals that First Nation communities practiced. Games could often be the focus of a story to pass on a moral lesson, or to show how wealth was shared more equally in the end by the people playing. Stories involving games were thus a way of passing down beliefs and values of a culture, with hopes that listeners will treasure them and continue to pass them on (Linda Smith, 2012). For some First Nations, this historic link with gaming eases the pressures associated with contemplating setting up a casino on First Nations land. It can create a level of comfort and familiarity with gaming that can impact on the decision to accept the casino. For others, the differences between gaming as a traditional practice or linkage to moral learning, and the reality of negative community effects that may accompany a casino setup, are too great. These First Nations groups tend to reject casinos and may continue to do so year after year. In this way there is a struggle often involved with casino setup on First Nations lands, with one side citing the economic and societal pros it would bring while the other side standing firmly behind its belief that the negative impacts out-weigh the benefits no matter which way it is analyzed.
The Positive View
Indeed, it is often the draw of strong and financially lucrative economical benefits which first bring casinos into the picture for First Nations. Some First Nations groups have struggled many years with high unemployment, low income and the common problems associated with bleak economies. Often a casino is seen as the method out of such a wary situation for the struggling

First Nations community. In parallel to this, First Nation communities see casinos as a stepping stone to greater circumstance. With a stronger local economy, community infrastructure could be invested in and local social programs could receive much needed funding, based on local First Nations decisions by First Nations people. In this way, casinos would be a step in the right direction for First Nations to become more self-governing. Self-government has been a priority for First Nations for a very long time, and almost anything that would help a First Nations group get closer to that goal would be mostly welcomed. Another factor in First Nations considerations of setting up a casino is how casinos have overall been beneficial to Indian tribes south of the Canada - United States border. As a model for comparison, Indigenous-based casinos operated by Indigenous peoples in the United States mostly helped support the argument for casino setup by First Nations groups on their lands in Canada. In the United States, as it does in Canada, gaming does have significant indigenous roots by way of rituals and storytelling. Gaming for U.S. Indian tribes connected the peoples to their communal origins and destiny, had culture significance, and was often sacred (Luna-Firebaugh and Fox, 2010).
Meanwhile casinos in the U.S. in the last decade alone have catapulted First Nations economically to wealth they had only imagined previously, with revenues in the billions nationally. The tribes have used the revenues from gaming for everything from creating jobs to funding essential services within their communities. Dr. Yale Belanger has written extensively on the subject of gambling and casinos for First Nations groups, in particular for the province of Alberta. Of the idea that the U.S. experience has influenced First Nations in Canada, Belanger says "Gambling profits in American tribal casinos looked so appealing, that suddenly Canada's Aboriginal leaders were of the opinion that they too could employ these same methods to generate the wealth they deemed necessary to become self-governing" (Stevens, 2005).
The role of self-government is often intrinsically linked to the question of gambling and casinos on First Nations land. Revenue generated but not taxed and duly regulated by provincial government is often at the center of any dispute, with both First Nations and provincial governments making claims to the rights to govern the territory and especially in respect to gambling in that territory. One recent dispute led the Alexander First Nation's Chief Raymond Arcand in Alberta to say unequivocally that Alexander had a right to host gaming operations, while also lashing out at the government for challenging Alexander to the right. Arcand said
5. V
gaming was an "integral part of his community's heritage", and that Alberta was ignoring Alexander First Nation's sovereignty (Mathen, 2013). One thing that casino operations would help is in securing or at the least enhancing First Nation community’s ability to generate much needed revenue. Revenue generation is vital in that it enhances the financial capacity to operate as a government. Up until now, First Nations have been organized more for self-management, than for self-government (Million, 2013). For First Nations communities casinos can effectively support self-government initiative. Even when operated within a framework of dual First Nations and provincial government control, casinos could be a positive endeavor. Alberta First Nations communities overall have benefited from the establishment of casinos on First Nations territories, while at the same time operating within provincial government legislation. This was the result of carefully negotiated terms through which the provincial government and First Nations both benefited from the casino revenues, with the First Nations revenues being further distributed amongst both casino host First Nations communities and other non casino hosting First Nations communities.
The Negative
Almost in the same breathe, Belanger has noted the counter-point of accepting casinos on First Nations lands governed by First Nations peoples, "...self-governance can be a double edged sword when it comes to casino operations, which bring with them such potentially difficult issues as problem gambling and the consequent need to develop community-based programs to deal with concerns resulting from the increased accessibility to gambling" (Stevens, 2005). It is often the pitfalls of gambling that stands in the way for some First Nations, who realize that the risk for negative outcomes for their local residents in the way of problem gambling is high given certain sets of criteria already visibly present in their territory. Criteria such as high unemployment, increased instance of alcohol abuse and substantial poverty rates tend to discourage First Nations leaders against increasing gambling accessibility for citizens, even with the general benefits it could bring to the community economically. The traditional casino model often does not fit ideally with many First Nations' ways of living and community values. In such a model, a casino makes high profits from the accumulation of patron spending, while providing a lesser prize amount to just a few patrons as part of the bait to gain the initial spend. Profits are then generally owned wholly by the casino and not by those spending within it. There is no shared benefit to all patrons - rather there is one or two patrons who have benefited greatly, there
6. VI
are many who may have spent a little money but are certainly no better economically, and there are a few patrons who may have spent too much and lost a great deal. The traditional values of a First Nations community, values such as sharing, equal distribution of wealth, and all benefiting from the direction, do not match up with the regular casino profit model.
Belanger has also held focus groups on this topic, comprised of First Nations' people living within communities where a First Nations casino is now located. Concerns were raised regarding the effects of time spent at casinos on local families, especially youths of such families. Money being spent at casinos instead of on basic family needs was raised too, and access to alcohol and gambling in general was considered problematic - especially for those with gambling problems. Overall it was found that First Nations' focus groups views on the casino setup in their respective community was generally supportive, with urban-based First Nations participants having a greater negative view of such a setup than reserve-based First Nations participants (Belanger et al 2012).
Conclusion
Gaming and gambling have their roots in the history of First Nations peoples, as it does with non-indigenous peoples. This does not mean however that a pre-determined set of assumptions regarding gaming and gambling practices can be assumed in the case of First Nations based casinos. While a similar set of negative outcomes are experienced by First Nations individuals and non-First Nations individuals, there are other circumstances that may also play a role in the manifestation of problem gambling that should also be considered. Within First Nations communities, perceptions of First Nations casino setups are often mixed, but generally supportive. The main reasons behind this may be attributed to the way First Nations casinos utilize the revenues generated in particular in Alberta where currently revenues are shared amongst many First Nations groups. This utility of 'sharing' generated revenue amongst all First Nations groups tends to be in line with accepted First Nations core values as a whole. Perceptions of casinos are also influenced by casinos in the U.S., where similar casino setups have been revitalized and rebuilt into vibrant Indigenous communities by casino generated profits. The effort towards casino governance within a First Nation community is often indicative of the larger struggle for self-governance for many First Nations people. Finally, the real and perceived notions of casino setups on First Nations lands in Canada can also be influenced by the
7. VII
extent to which the casino re-invests casino revenue directly into First Nations communities, in particular in the way of infrastructure and spending on community services. Ultimately, there remains differing opinions with First Nations groups as to whether a casino should be setup and used on First Nations land; though it must be recognized that each First Nations community faces differing circumstances and the final decision should be recognized as theirs to make with safeguards to ensure the community is the priority.
