Madonna & Miley Cyrus Can't Stop Gushing Over Each Other in Epic Lovefest

Madonna and Miley Cyrus are harboring some serious girl crushes on one another.

The two have both taken to their Instagrams recently to profess their mutual love, with Miley even posting a picture of herself replacing Britney Spears in that unforgettable 2003 MTV Video Music Awards lip-lock.

Madonna quickly reposted the pic on Tuesday, writing, "Dat unaplogeticbitchkiss' ❤#rebelhearts."

PHOTOS: Madonna is 56 and Not Showing It

The always controversial Miley has revealed herself to be a fan of Madonna's new album Rebel Heart, posting a picture on Sunday of her recreating the album's artwork.

Madonna was obviously flattered, reposting the pic with the caption, "B**ch i love you!❤#rebelheart."

Though Miley took her infatuation one step further, posting a picture of  her face Photoshopped onto Madonna's iconic Chanel ad with Michael Jackson.

The 56-year-old Material Girl appears to be in a celebratory mood as she prepares for her 13th album Rebel Heart to drop on March 15, even shouting out her sometimes frenemy Lady Gaga on Monday.

Madonna surprisingly posted a Photoshopped picture of Lady Gaga with the Rebel Heart face netting over her face, writing, "Love this ❤#rebelheart ❤i said love and i meant it! #livingforlove." But Lady Gaga has yet to shout out the Material Girl à la Miley.

It could have something to do with a rumored Gaga diss on new track "Two Steps Behind," though Madonna's manager Guy Oseary recently squashed those rumors. The lyrics include, "You're a copycat, get back/ I'm always on your mind."

"That song is NOT about Gaga or anyone in particular," Oseary told fans in a recent Twitter Q&A. "She has NO ill will towards Gaga. It’s nonsense. She was listening to [Gaga's] Tony Bennett duet album last week and appreciating it."

Madonna herself weighed in, also slamming the rumors.

"[There] are People that are so hateful. they want to create feuds between strong women that do not exist!" she posted. "I do not wish ill will towards any other female artist and i never have! The World is big enough for all of us!"

NEWS: Madonna Compares Album Leak to 'Rape' and 'Terrorism'

Though we know at least one genuinely big fan of Lady Gaga -- her longtime boyfriend actor Taylor Kinney, who Gaga says "cries" when she's on-stage.

Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS) is a generic concept based on technologies such as Software Reconfiguration through Radio Applications and Cognitive Radio (CR) whose systems exploit the capabilities of reconfigurable radio and networks for self-adaptation to a dynamically-changing environment with the aim of improving supply chain, equipment and spectrum utilization.

Global interest in RRS solutions is being fuelled by the rapidly-growing demand for wireless communications for a wide range of purposes. There are around 7 trillion wireless devices serving 7 billion users. To meet these expectations with the limited radio spectrum, more flexible ways to share radio networks and frequencies amongst multiple services and radio networks are needed – and RRS technologies offer the solution. In this regard, there is particular interest worldwide for the so called "cognitive radio technologies".

Cognitive Radio (CR) can be defined as a radio with learning capabilities, i.e. a radio able to obtain knowledge of the radio operational environment and adjust its operational parameters and protocols accordingly. Such an approach has a significant number of benefits in terms of spectrum efficiency and this is much more important when the spectrum is scarce, as it is the case nowadays. Thus, there is great interest in Cognitive Radio technologies at the European level as well as worldwide. One case study on cognitive technologies is in the use of so-called ‘White Spaces’ in the UHF band. Another direction relates to the development of Radio Environment Maps technologies, enabling the collection of cognitive radio context information to be exploited for decision making.

Licensed Shared Access (LSA) is defined by the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG) as “An individual licensed regime of a limited number of licensees in a frequency band, already allocated to one or more incumbent users, for which the additional users are allowed to use the spectrum (or part of the spectrum) in accordance with sharing rules included in the rights of use of spectrum granted to the licensees, thereby allowing all the licensees to provide a certain level of QoS”. This new concept can also take advantage of cognitive technologies allowing sharing spectrum in a more dynamic way and it has been finalized in 2,300 - 2,400 MHz frequency band. Evolving the LSA framework towards an eLSA (evolved LSA) system is to support spectrum access to local high-quality wireless networks operated by vertical sector operators. ETSI TC RRS work on eLSA is of technical nature aiming to provide an automatic tool to facilitate spectrum sharing coordination between incumbents, NRAs and eLSA Licensees (e.g. vertical sector operators). To meet the spectrum access demand and needs of local high-quality wireless networks, eLSA aims to offer technical means to facilitate the spectrum allocation procedure, including automatic local area licensing and leasing agreements, and to manage the conditions of spectrum use.

The work targets operation of local high-quality wireless networks in licensed bands to guarantee predictable QoS levels. It is agnostic to the radio frequency bands.

Software Reconfiguration through Radio Applications is a straightforward extension of the widely applied Applications (“Apps”) for Smartphones. Radio Applications are enabling Software Developers to access low-level parameters of a wireless equipment within a controlled execution environment, a so-called Radio Virtual Machine (RVM). ETSI RRS develops standards on the required low-level interfaces as well as solutions for related novel approaches such that a continued compliance with applicable regulations is given.

White Space (WS) is part of the spectrum which is available for a radio communication application at a given time in a given geographical area on a non-interfering/non protected basis with regard to primary services and other services with a higher priority on a national basis. Coordinated as well as un-coordinated system approaches were developed by ETSI RRS.

Our Role & Activities

The work of standardizing Reconfiguration through Radio Applications and Cognitive Radio is done in TC RRS (Reconfigurable Radio System). TC RRS's main responsibility is to carry out standardization activities related to Reconfigurable Radio Systems encompassing both Reconfiguration through Radio Applications and Cognitive Radio (CR). In doing so, TC RRS will take into account all the related requirements from relevant stakeholders, as well as the work done in other fora on the same subject so as to avoid  overlapping activities which could delay, if not hamper, the overall standardisation process in reconfigurable radio systems. TC RRS work includes but is not limited to the following:

  • Cognitive Radio Systems
  • Licensed Shared Access and evolved Licensed Access (eLSA)
  • Reconfigurable Radio Devices
  • Certification aspects for Dynamic Equipment Reconfiguration
  • Reconfigurable Radio Systems for Civil Security
  • Security aspects for Reconfigurable Radio Systems
  • (TV) White Spaces

A full list of related standards in the public domain is accessible via the RRS committee page.

Greening The GDP: Realizing The ‘Hidden’ National Wealth – Analysis

By Preeti Kapuria

Almost a decade ago, the global Millennium Ecosystem Assessment of 2005 drew attention to the importance of natural capital and ecosystem services for  human well-being.  Natural capital comprises those elements of the nature that provide valuable goods and services to humans, such as the stock of forests, food,  clean air, water, land, minerals, etc. Value, therefore, forms the very basis of natural capital concept.  Accordingly, assessing the value of changes in natural capital and the services it provides is fundamental to maintaining, restoring and managing the natural environment.  However, the goods and services (or benefits) that people obtain from the nature often lack a market or an observable price (because of their ‘public good’ nature) resulting in the value of natural capital benefits being overlooked or ignored in development planning and economic growth (Committee, 2017).

The system of national accounts currently used in most parts of the world is often incomplete in accounting for the contribution of natural resources to GDP. Even, the cost of depleting natural resources to generate income is also not represented in national accounts.

Conventional GDP estimates following the System of National Accounting (SNA) do not account for externalities, focusing only on economic growth based on income that may be unsustainable in the long term and nothing about wealth and assets (including natural capital) that can explain this income. Externalities include most material and unaccounted changes in natural, human and social capital due to economic activities.  GDP is a macroeconomic indicator, which is designed to provide the market value of all final goods and services within a country in a given period of time.

While GDP may give an idea about the size of an economy, it cannot account for the significant gains/losses to human and natural capital that determine the actual wealth of the nation. The value of consumed natural resources and environmental degradation is not accounted for in GDP estimates.  This calls for extending the traditional system of national accounts to factor in natural capital gains and losses in development planning. In other words, arriving at GDP figures that are adjusted for environmental services and consequences of economic growth (so called ‘Green GDP’).

While ‘Green GDP’ is designed to quantify value of ecosystem services derived from the nature and measure the monetary costs of environmental damage caused by a country’s economic growth, green accounting (or natural resource accounting) is a methodology for capturing the value of natural capital and externalities by estimating their stock or net asset values so that they are within a common framework of value accounting for the nation. Moreover, green accounting can lead to income sustainability (weak sustainability) ultimately leading to ecological (or stronger) sustainability.

Sustainability rationale for greener accounts has been around since the late 1980s. More recently  –Beyond GDP, Potsdam 2007, the G8+5 Initiative, The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB), Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES), and the Stieglitz/ Sen/ Fitoussi report, along with the Inclusive Green Economy Initiative –emphasise on  looking for better measurements of changes in human well-being. Assessments and valuation of natural capital and the change in per capita inclusive/comprehensive wealth over time are also helpful in tracking progress on most Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In India not only is natural capital poorly represented in GDP; natural resources are not adequately considered as economic assets, the environmental costs of depletion and degradation of natural resources are not factored in while arriving at economic growth figures.  The externalities of economic growth not accounted for in conventional GDP estimates at times may have a huge monetary value. For example, a World Bank study shows that in 2013 India suffered a loss of over $550 billion, or 8.5 per cent of GDP just as a result of air pollution. The economic cost of other impacts, such as water pollution and land degradation, among several others, though not known, would perhaps be much more.

According to the WWF’s ‘Living Planet’ report, nearly 25 per cent of India’s total land is undergoing desertification, while 32 per cent is facing degradation. Such environmental changes have a direct impact on the future food production capacity of Indian agrarian economy.  India is expected to experience a 10-40 per cent loss in crop production by the end of the century (Datta & Surabhi, 2016).  Commenting on the state of the society due to  environmental changes that accompanied India’s economic growth from 1947-1997, the “Green India 2047” report prepared by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and released in 2009,  talked about the morbidity costs in India going up to  almost 3.6 per cent of GDP every year  due to unclean air and water . The report also discussed the possibility of eight lakh deaths in the country each year because of unclean air and water.  In another estimate, the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change of the United Kingdom had in 2007 stated that climate change will impose costs of 9 to 13 per cent of GDP in India by 2100.

The obsession with double-digit GDP is a huge threat to India’s biodiversity and its long term economic growth.  For instance, India continues to be challenged by the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity despite having a Protected Areas network covering around 4.9 per cent of its total geographical area. This has serious implications for livelihoods that are directly based on biodiversity (Sukhdev & Bell, 2012).  About half of 380 million poor in India depend on these natural environments for daily sustainability. Around 47 per cent of GDP of India’s rural poor comes from natural resources such as harvesting of forest produce, collecting medicinal herbs from forests and fisheries (Chauhan, 2012). These people live at the margin of subsistence and are most vulnerable to biodiversity loss. It is imperative to recognise and account for the contribution of natural resources and ecosystem services to rural livelihoods through the “GDP of the poor”, a notion that encompasses all the sectors from which poor draw directly their livelihood and employment.  Such an assessment becomes even more important if India is aiming at inclusive growth process or “pro-poor” growth.

Alternative national green accounting systems

The old SNA has been revised to broaden to include resource depletion and natural environment degradation as undesirable outcomes of economic growth.  Natural capital accounting (NCA) is a method used to account for income and costs associated with natural resource use, based on a framework approved by the United Nations in 2012 called the System of Environmental Economic Accounts (SEEA). The other accounting alternatives are: Wealth accounting and valuation of ecosystem services (WAVES);  a World Bank programme working with eight countries across the world to account for the contribution made by natural resources to the wealth of the nation, and Inclusive wealth accounting (IW).

Few countries such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand have adopted SEEA in addition to their SNA, while Botswana, Colombia, Costa Rica, Rwanda and Philippines have implemented WAVES, and Australia, Brazil, china, and France have adopted IW accounting. China published its first Green GDP data for 2004 in 2006 after which the exercise was abruptly halted in 2007. The research on green GDP has now resumed in China.

Way forward

Way back in 1999-2000, India’s first pilot study on natural resource accounting was conducted in the state of Goa. After the success of the first study similar accounting exercises were repeated in 8 Indian states.  The findings of the working of these accounting methods were provided by the Technical Advisory Committee set-up in 2010 under the chairmanship of Dr Kirit Parikh. The Committee recommended the development of a National Accounting Matrix. Subsequently, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation set up an expert group in 2011 led by Professor Partha Dasgupta, , to work out a framework for green national accounts in India. India’s green GDP accounting exercise is proposed to be based on an integrated environmental and economic accounting system as a satellite system to its SNA.

Though the target of putting in place a revised functional accounting system was set as 2015, the process is  yet to be completed. Efforts are on in India to prepare a natural resource accounting (NRA) database with inputs from the states. Pilot studies have been undertaken for a number of states, including Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Meghalaya, among others.  Starting this year, the government is planning to begin a five-year exercise to compute district level data of the country’s environmental wealth. These numbers will be used to calculate each State’s ‘green’ GDP. This is for the first time that the government has initiated a national environment survey in India. A pilot project is expected to be launched this September in 54 districts by demarcating land into “grids” with about 15-20 grids in each district. The objective of this exercise is to capture the diversity in the State’s geography, farmland, wildlife, and emissions pattern by assigning a value (Koshy, 2018).

The Green GDP is a logical step forward for India if it wishes to account for true economic growth and its holistic wealth. The current GDP estimates do not account for the gains/losses in natural capital that accompany increasing economic activity, though higher economic activity would improve GDP figures with consequent repercussions for nature and human wellbeing in the long term. The transition from extensive economic development pattern to economic growth coupled with efficiency in natural resource use and its conservation can help India attain its goals of inclusive growth with sustainable development and improved people’s wellbeing.

Supplier Ohra
Supplier Ohra

Vehmeyer, one of the largest building materials retailers in Emsland / Germany, has significantly expanded its storage capacity with a new 5,800 square metre warehouse.

OHRA supplied and installed over 25, and in some cases over 42 metres long and more than 7 metres high — cantilever and pallet racks within a tight time frame.

This means that a wide variety of building materials can now be stored much more clearly. As a result, customers receive their goods more quickly, the logistics processes have been streamlined, and overall warehouse availability has been increased.

Prior to construction of the new warehouse in 2018, the goods — building materials, wood products, underground and garden/landscaping materials, tiles and interior fittings as well as hardware store items, were stored in small warehouses with a maximum of three to four storage levels. This restricted the efficiency of the logistics processes and it was difficult for customers to find the right goods. So Vehmeyer decided to bring all the goods together in a new, central warehouse. The prerequisite for this was a rack system with which the highest possible storage capacity could be achieved in the available space.

For this reason, Vehmeyer chose OHRA. The company produces extremely robust cantilever and pallet racks manufactured from hot-rolled steel profiles. This enables high loads with a slim design – and thus ensures good use of space. Moreover, OHRA had the production capacity to implement such an extensive project within a tight time frame.

In total, OHRA supplied more than 25 cantilever and pallet racks for indoor and outdoor use. Each rack was individually tailored to the installation site and the goods to be stored. For example, the bay widths for pallet racks are between 2,400 and 4,500 millimetres, for beam loadings of 3 to 5.5 tons. The load-bearing capacity of OHRA’s rack construction allows for good utilization of the building height with six beam levels. The same applies to the cantilever racks. They have a load-bearing capacity of up to 6,750 kilograms per column per side. Depending on the goods, this can be used to implement up to nine storage levels. The unique clip in arms, with load capacities of 750 kilograms, enable easy adaptation to a changing range of goods.

The rack system thus offers the necessary capacities for further expansion and is an important part of Vehmeyer’s growth strategy.

About Vehmeyer:

The roots of E.A. Vehmeyer OHG date back to 1805 when Ernst August Vehmeyer founded a brick factory. It was later supplemented by a sawmill. The brickworks no longer exist today, but Vehmeyer operates the largest softwood sawmill in north west Germany. In addition, the company continuously expanded its timber and building materials business, it operates its own hardware store in Haselünne and supplies private and professional customers far beyond the Emsland region. 109 employees generate annual sales of over 40 million euros.

 About OHRA:

The success story of OHRA Regalanlagen GmbH officially begins in 1979: Ottokar Hölscher founded a company for the production and sale of racking systems. Thanks in particular to the innovative cantilever racks, the German company was able to quickly establish itself on the market: In contrast to the competition, the arms of the cantilever racks are simply clipped into the punched upright profiles – thanks to this patented solution, the cantilever arms can be adjusted at any time without tools. Cantilever arm and pallet racks from OHRA are characterised by their particularly high load-bearing capacity, robustness and durability. The portfolio ranges from simple shelving solutions to complete racking to complex, fully automatic storage and picking systems. With customised logistics solutions, OHRA has established itself in a wide variety of industries and now has its own sales offices in 13 countries. In 2019, the European market leader for cantilever racks celebrated its 40th anniversary.

Goodwin, Jason - 'The Bellini Card'
Hardback: 320 pages (July 2008) Publisher: Faber and Faber ISBN: 0571239927

THE BELLINI CARD is the third book by Jason Goodwin in the Yashim the Eunuch series. Yashim is instructed by the young new Sultan Abdulmecid to travel to Venice and buy a portrait of Mehmet the Conqueror painted by Gentile Bellini in 1479. This is not a fictional portrait but actually is in the National Gallery in London. The vizier Reshid Pasha warns Yashim that perhaps this is not a wise course of action and Yashim compromises by sending his old friend the Polish ambassador Palewski. Palewski assumes a false identity as Signor Brett, an American connoisseur, and on his arrival is seized upon by Antonio Ruggiero an impoverished nobleman and 'friend of visitors to Venice'.

Ruggiero circulates Signor Brett's card to art dealers, and the 'American' attracts the attention of Carla a beautiful blonde contessa, Maria a young courtesan, and a variety of hustlers eager to supply 'genuine' art works. But two art dealers have been murdered and Brett is regarded as a suspect by the Austrian authorities that exist in a constant state of tension and conflict with the Venetian population. Fakery, treachery and innuendo are everywhere and as Brett gets deeper into trouble and is sought by the police, we wonder what has happened to Yashim?

I really enjoyed the book especially the first half which deals with Palewski /Brett and his naive search for the Mehmet the Conqueror painting. When Yashim makes his Holmesian intervention the plot became a trifle confusing for this reader. But this could be my lack of concentration and is only a very minor criticism. This book contains a feast of detail and anecdotes about the Ottomans and Venice, and among other things I learned the derivation and history of the word 'casino'.The intricate relationships between the Austrians, Venetians and Ottomans in a decaying but still beautiful city are complex and nothing is, as it first seems. Yashim cooks up some tempting Ottoman feasts (one example swordfish in vine leaf jackets) and the increased role of the character of Palewski in this book means that perhaps a new duo of detectives has arrived in the tradition of Holmes and Watson. This is top quality well written crime fiction set in a neglected period of history with fascinating characters and I look forward to seeing what new horizons await Yashim and Palewski.

The Yashim books are a labour of love and readers should view this YouTube video to fully appreciate Jason Goodwin's affection for his characters and the city of Istanbul. THE BELLINI CARD set in 1840 constantly refers to the similarity between Venice and the city on the Bosphorus.

There is also a fascinating blog by Jason at:, which gives a lot of background information and links to other sources.

Zia Mian on the Nuclear Weapons Ban and Prohibition Treaty

viernes 21 de julio de 2017, 02:18h

21JUL17.- I had the privilege of attending the opening and penultimate sessions of the Nuclear Weapons Ban and Prohibition Treaty negotiations at the U.N. this spring and summer.

And, midst considerable celebration, on July 7, representatives of the majority of the world’s governments agreed to a treaty designed to outlaw the development, testing, producing, possession, stockpiling, use and threatened use of nuclear weapons and considerably more.

The next major steps will be to get those governments to agree to sign the treaty by September 20 and then to ratify it. Our other priority is educating the public about the treaty so that we can build the popular pressure needed to move the nuclear weapons and umbrella (NATO, Japan, South Korea etc.) to eventually eliminate their nuclear arsenals.

My e-mail in box has been flooded with articles about the Ban Treaty, but by far, and not surprisingly, the best article has been written by Zia Mian of the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton. It appears in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

PLEASE READ AND SHARE it at: http://thebulletin.org/after-nuclear-weapons-ban-treaty-new-disarmament-politics10932

Serena Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou believes the tennis legend will not quit until she at least equals Margaret Court’s record of winning 24 Grand Slam singles titles.
The American former world number one is one short of reaching that landmark, having missed out during her latest attempt by losing to eventual champion Naomi Osaka in the Australian Open semi-finals.
The 39-year-old had looked in good form up until that point, but left her final press conference in tears after she was asked about her future in the sport. She said if she was going to retire, she would not be telling anybody in advance.

Murray, Djokovic in, Williams, Federer out - who's playing tennis in Tokyo?
13/07/2021 AT 07:54
But Mouratoglou believes Williams, who returned to the sport after giving birth to her daughter Alexis Olympia in 2017, was caught up in the moment.
"It's something that is difficult to measure for people," he told People.
"That's why it's very sensitive. That's why it's very emotional for her. I completely get it.
I don't think she will stop until she at least wins a Grand Slam, because she came back to win Grand Slams. She doesn’t quit.

'I'm honoured to play when she does, to experience her greatness' - Djokovic on Serena

Mouratoglou thinks Williams is motivated to add to her collection of major titles, with three more opportunities to do so in 2021 alone.
"I have to believe it and she has to believe it, too. If she [doesn't], she would stop”, he said.
“After all she's achieved in her career, at her age, having a baby for the first time, having a family - it was an incredible effort to come back to tennis, unbelievable effort.
Mental effort, physical effort, so many hours to get back in shape. She would never even start that if she didn't think she was able to win a Grand Slam.
"That's how Serena is really exceptional. She puts the standards so high for herself, and she finds a way to match those standards, whatever she does."

'Huge goodbye' - Is this Serena's final farewell moment?

On the constant questions about when Williams will choose to hang up her racket, Mouratoglou says it will not be a decision she takes lightly, when she finally decides to do so.
“I don't think she planned [retirement] for this certain moment. She's dedicated all her life to tennis since she was a kid," he said.
"So the day she will retire, she will feel like she's giving an end to 40 years of a life."
'Federer not among Wimbledon favourites, Djokovic super favourite' - Mouratoglou

Chris Lane and his wife, Lauren Bushnell, know that not everything comes easily in a marriage. In an emotional new “husband appreciation” Instagram post, Lauren reveals that they’ve been patiently trying to start a family, and dealing with the waiting game has only strengthened their bond.

“I am very excited to start a family and get asked when we are having kids ALL the time, but it just hasn’t happened yet,” she writes, going on to explain how touched she was by her husband’s reaction to her frustration.

“He said, ‘Well, have you prayed about it?’ I said, ‘Well, yes.’” she recounts. “And he responded, ‘Have you really prayed hard about it?’ If that’s what we really want, pray, and know it will happen in God’s time if that’s what he wants for us! I’ll pray with you!’”

Chris’ reaction was a major reminder to Lauren about why she fell in love with her husband in the first place.

“I am so lucky I get to walk up next to you every morning, lucky I get to pray next to you and am continually humbled by your heart of gold,” she gushed.

Meanwhile, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris has been reliving his headlining 2018 tour, releasing a series of live videos of some of his biggest hits. One of those is the video for “Big, Big Plans,” which he wrote and performed as part of his proposal to Lauren.

Professional Travel Website Design

Problem: The Grubers needed an updated website to reflect the professional turn their old travel blog had taken. Specifically, they needed to sell more ads and travel itineraries throughout their travel stories and the website.

Solution: I created a clean organized design that stands out from the competition and highlights the family’s unique selling proposition and gives the user more opportunities to make a purchase.

Results: The Grubers have been able to sell more, and ultimately enjoy more of what they love – traveling together! Plus they get complements on their new site all the time!

Beach House Photo Friday - Gig Harbor

Pretty soon we will be offering my friend, (Judy) "Just Beachy's" creations on the Caron's Beach House website - look for her incredible sea shell art creations in the very near future.

 In the meantime, I just have to show you a photo she sent me from her deck this past week during a rare snowfall on the water in Puget Sound.  This is Judy and Gordon's deck overlooking the water - actually just steps to the beach!    When Tom and I were invited to their house just after Christmas we were blown away by how close the sea lions swam next to their bulkhead.

Very very excited to be able to introduce Judy's art in the next few weeks!  Here's just a quick sample of one of her creative shell wreaths -

Seashells Surrounding a Fireplace Mantle

Had to share this creative idea sent to me by a customer in Arizona! (Don't you just love her beach framed art too?)

She bought four of our 24" seashell swags from Nantucket,  and then put them all together surrounding her fireplace mantel.  Wow - what a unique idea to recreate a coastal theme in your living room!

 I love it when our customers share their ideas with us.  Makes my job more than fun!

Have a great week - looks like sunshine and blue skies here in San Francisco.
Wishing you all the same for your coasts.

Relax and Live at the Beach Every Day of the Year!

WWE Reveals How Many Network Subscribers They Are Expecting In Q4 Of 2016

WWE issued the following:

Raises Expectations for Fourth Quarter 2016 Average Subscribers

STAMFORD, Conn., December 12, 2016 – World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:WWE) today announced that the Company has raised the low end of its projected range of average paid WWE Network subscribers for the fourth quarter 2016 and reaffirmed its 2016 Adjusted OIBDA and Operating income guidance.

Specifically, the Company announced that it expects at least 1.40 million average paid subscribers to WWE Network for the fourth quarter 2016. The Company reaffirmed its projections for fourth quarter Adjusted OIBDA of approximately $20 million to $24 million (Operating income of $12 million to $16 million). For the full year, the Company anticipates 2016 Adjusted OIBDA of $80 million to $84 million (Operating income of $54 million to $58 million) and average paid subscribers to WWE Network of approximately 1.42 million representing growth of 25% for the full year.

Note: Reconciliation of Q4 2016 and full year 2016 Operating Income to Adjusted OIBDA can be found in the Supplemental Information in this release

Non-GAAP Measures:

We define OIBDA as operating income before depreciation and amortization, excluding feature film and television production asset amortization and impairments. OIBDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and may be different than similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. A limitation of OIBDA is that it excludes depreciation and amortization, which represents the periodic charge for certain fixed assets and intangible assets used in generating revenues for the Company’s business. OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to operating income or net income as an indicator of operating performance, or to the statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to OIBDA.

Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Operating income, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Earnings per share exclude certain non-recurring material items, which otherwise would impact the comparability of results between periods. These items include, but are not limited to, non-cash impairments of film, intangible and fixed assets, gains and losses on asset sales, as well as material restructuring charges. The adjusted measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or any other indicator of WWE’s performance or liquidity, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes the presentation of OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view our operating performance in the same primary method used by management to evaluate operating performance. Additionally, we believe they provide a meaningful representation of operating cash flows.

What should you do?

You need to implement logic in the app for lost sales.

What should you do?
A . Create a business process flow.
B . Define a business rule for the Sales Log edit form.
C . Set the required field property of the Won/Lost field to Required.
D . Create a formula for the Description field that uses the Update function.

Answer: B

Scenario: Requests for quotes are currently stored in a Sales Log workbook.

The workbook includes the following information:

✑ Status of the Request for Quote (RFQ) with the values of Won, Lost, No Bid, and Cancelled

Salespeople often do not set status of RFQs in the Sales Log to Won when a sale is closed and the customer purchase order is received.

You can create business rules and recommendations to apply logic and validations without writing code or creating plug-ins. Business rules provide a simple interface to implement and maintain fast-changing and commonly used rules.

Business rules defined for an entity apply to both canvas apps and model-driven apps if the entity is used in the app.

The zones also include outdoor space for retailers to sell their goods and open space for fitness classes and other events. Leashed furry friends are also welcome at many non-dining locations.

All locations are served by the Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH) making it even easier for you to come on down. Just don't forget to wear a mask, which is now required on all DASH buses.

Why a Unified Customer View is Vital to Your Marketing Efforts

A unified customer view can help marketers define customer experiences and drive enhanced engagement. Experiture offers an all-in one customer engagement marketing platform that helps both B2C and B2B marketers develop personalization programs that generate more leads and interact more effectively with target audiences. This platform provides a unified customer view, all-in-one analytics, and buyer persona marketing opportunities.

Create a Customer Journey Experience for Human Engagement Marketing

The challenge is that the consumer journey definition has changed. Marketers were once in charge of the entire experience. But the digital world now allows consumers to use a self-initiated process to research information and control how they interact with companies when making buying decisions. Consumers may read online reviews, browse competitive websites, or seek recommendations through social media before having any actual contact with the potential business partner. Marketers need to utilize consumer journey mapping to follow, join and engage in conversation at various touchpoints along the way.

Marion's Landscape Painting Newsletter - JUNE 2011

WELCOME to my June newsletter, Dear Newsletter Readers,

All in the month of an artist ...

Lots and lots of hard work would certainly sum up my overall feeling for the last few weeks. Due to some poor diary planning I was heading for two exhibitions to be hung within a week of each other. Having been inspired (thankfully) and created some new work I then choose which works were the most suitable for each exhibition. So last week I had a great morning considering the careful science of hanging work… Suitable frames, colour schemes, shapes and styles together and complementing each other.

A very mixed a week of whether whilst on holiday in the the Gower lead to interesting painting experiences. Although it means carrying a lot to your chosen location – (mine was a beautiful rugged beach) it is worth painting outside when you can. To work outside I personally would always choose to have it at least dry and if possible sunny. Daringly or was it just mad? I worked straight onto a canvas. I started by applying gesso with a palette knife to achieve the interesting cliff shapes. The sun’s heat dried this medium quickly and then I continued working with acrylic paints. I chose to limit my colour palette and keep them ‘natural’. Working against the elements and so against the clock meant there was no time to fuss. Although this is a pressured way of working it did mean my brush strokes were strong and fresh and created a very pleasing effect.

As a hobby artist or professional artist we all like to sell our paintings. The question I have been revisiting recently is if getting some limited addition prints of a number of paintings is a good idea or not. This is all really comes down to personal choice and taste … I think it’s safe to say the majority of people who prefer to have an original. However in the current economic climate I believe and an art gallery owner has suggested to me that prints are becoming very popular again. As an artist one of the hardest decisions is not so much of are prints a good idea but which paintings to get prints created from. I was discussing this recently with some art minded people and we agreed that is hard to predict what will be popular as a print. I’m sure many artists have created a painting they are very pleased with; its hard to part with; if it sells or not is another matter. The best advice I can do is to create some mini images of some your paintings and ask a range of contacts which they think could be good, commercial prints. Or get some greeting cards printed and see which of these sell best –however the market for cards and prints is quite different. If you have any thoughts on this please do let me know.

June's Product

Simple but effective and probably not as expensive as you might think – silver leaf. You can buy this online from Jackson’s art supplies or well stocked art shops. I have used some recently to add a touch of highlights, shimmer and elegance to some abstract paintings of reflections. Use it sparingly and it can add a beautiful unusual dimension to your work.

China ‘invades’ Taiwan airspace with largest over-flight of jets and bombers to date

CHINA has sent twenty-eight fighter jets and nuclear-capable bombers into Taiwanese airspace, the island democracy has claimed.

Comment section Share on LinkedIn Share on Pinterest Copy link Link copied

G7: China ‘worried’ about infrastructure plan says expert

The timing of Beijing's over-flight was during the final day of the G7 Summit, where US president Joe Biden has hit out at China's expansionist ambitions. Taiwan has complained over the last few months of repeated incursions by into its airspace. The Chinese aircraft entered the southwestern part of Taiwan's air defence zone on Tuesday, an area near the Taipei-controlled Pratas Islands.

Beijing has not commented on its mission that involved 14 J-16 and six J-11 fighters, as well as four H-6 bombers.

Taiwan's Defence Ministry has said that the Chinese aircraft carried anti-submarine, electronic warfare and early warning technology.

Tuesday's incursion was the largest since Taiwan's defence ministry began regularly reporting Chinese Air Force activities.

The twenty-eight aircraft that traversed Taiwanese airspace broke the previous record of 25 aircraft reported on April 12.

Taiwanese combat aircraft were dispatched to intercept the Chinese aircraft.

The island democracy then angled its missile defence system on the Chinese jets and bombers.

The Chinese aircraft came very close to the bottom tip of the island of Taiwan.

In the past, China has said their over-flights are necessary to reinforce Beijing's sovereignty over the island democracy.

Beijing has hit out at recent rhetoric from the Biden administration who have affirmed their commitment to defend Taipei's independence.

China has hit out at the alliance between Taipei and Washington, calling it "collusion".

Beijing's escalating over-flights have caused tensions with the US.

China has always stated its sovereignty claim over Taiwan is a red line the United States should not cross.

The military power of China

Beijing has repeatedly said that it will not renounce the possible use of force to ensure reunification with Taiwan.

The incoming Chinese aircraft were sent a radio message by a Taiwanese radio operator.

The radio message said: "This is the Republic of China, ROC, Air Force.

"The Chinese military aircraft flying at 6,500 meters in Taiwan's southwestern airspace.

"You have entered our airspace and are affecting aviation safety.

"Turn around and leave immediately.

"The consequences of any accident are yours alone."

Work starts on new Portsmouth Retail Park

Work has started on a new retail park that will bring in up to £1m per year for Portsmouth City Council services. The council has agreed to buy Portsmouth Retail Park, in North Harbour, which will be completed next Spring.

Leader of the council Cllr Donna Jones said: "We are delighted to have found the right property investment in Portsmouth - one that can boost our property investment portfolio by bringing in more money for the local services that are most important to local people while boosting jobs and the local economy at the same time.

"This investment is about making money to pay for council services  and creating jobs for our residents. This deal alone will generate up to £1m for local services which will make a real difference at a time when councils continue to face cuts to the funding we receive from the government.

"It's fantastic that work has started on Portsmouth Retail Park and we can't wait to see this development thriving and bringing in rental income for the people of Portsmouth."

The brand new £16.2m development will include eight retail and food outlets and a gym on empty land next to Tesco Extra in Southampton Road.
The first nine tenants are expected to be:

  • Decathalon
  • Subway
  • Costa
  • Greggs
  • Pure Gym
  • Home Bargains
  • Jollyes pet superstore
  • Explore Learning
  • Quality Pet Care

The development will be built by property solutions business Simons Group.

Simons Group chief executive Tom Robinson said the new development will enhance what is already a great city: "It’s an exciting project for Simons Group and one which will bring further vitality to Portsmouth."

The Portsmouth Retail Park investment will be added to the council's expanding property investment portfolio which already includes ten commercial assets, generating £4.3m of profit per year, for things like: libraries (£1.96m annual cost), museums (£759,900), weekly rubbish collections (£3.2m), community wardens (£148,800), homelessness services (£615,900) and school crossing patrols (£198,000).

Ninety per cent of this year's budget savings have been achieved by generating new income and restructuring debt.

More property purchases are set to be made in the coming months generating even more money for local services.

Refinery growth a boost for local economy and employment

Altona Refinery continues to buck the trend in the local manufacturing industry, increasing local employment in Melbourne’s west and offering strong economic benefits to the local Hobsons Bay and wider Victorian economies.

Refinery growth a boost for local economy and employment

Altona Refinery Manager Riccardo Cavallo said the refinery has been hiring a significant number of people throughout 2017 and continuing into 2018.

“We continue to defy Australia’s increasingly challenging environment for manufacturing and remain committed to Altona Refinery’s ongoing success. I personally am proud of its standing as one of the most efficient and competitive refineries in the world,” he said.

HR Client Advisor for Australia/New Zealand Refining, Supply & Midstream, Simone Roberts, said Altona Refinery welcomed more than 20 new employees in 2017.

“In 2018, we have hired nine new employees so far at Altona across a range of process engineering and operational roles, and a further six new operations trainees have commenced their traineeship.

“We also have had the opportunity over the past two years to offer jobs to highly experienced workers whose previous employers have closed due to the challenges facing the local manufacturing industry,” she said.

Photo — Mobil's Altona Refinery continues to defy Australia’s increasingly challenging environment for manufacturing, boosting state and local economies.

Riccardo said that new investments, particularly around the supply of jet fuel, will continue to enhance ExxonMobil Australia’s contribution as major supplier of fuel for Australia.

“The logistics of supplying fuel for growing local aviation demand is a key focus for our local business. As part of this, Altona Refinery is currently completing works to expand the jet fuel treater, which will increase jet fuel production from 10KBD to 12KBD.

“In the wider supply chain, the business has made significant investments in new tanks at Yarraville Terminal and the Melbourne Joint User Hydrant Installation (JUHI), as well as a new pipeline between Yarraville Terminal and the Somerton jet fuel pipeline,” he said.

Altona Refinery economic contribution fast facts:

  • Pays more than $1 million in rates to Hobsons Bay City Council and around $3 million in fees and charges to City West Water each year.
  • Increases Victoria’s economic output by $270 million a year – however the full contribution of Altona Refinery to the Victorian economy, including direct and indirect benefits, is substantially higher.
  • Provides jobs for around 350 people while indirectly supporting thousands of other jobs.
  • Generates approximately $2.9 million in annual payroll taxes to the Victorian Government.
  • Pays more than $6 million in port fees and wharfage to the Port of Melbourne Corporation.

State rep. remains hopeful

(file photo)

GIBSON CITY – State Rep. Tom Bennett (R-106th) remains hopeful for a state budget by the end of May, although he admits lawmakers have their work cut out for them.

Education, facilities and pensions were themes of the governor’s recent budget speech in Springfield. Bennett and others are trying to get their hands around these issues in the General Assembly.

“Hopefully, we’ll be able to start working on that soon,” Bennett said. “I think we’ll be able to look at (the budget blueprint) in more detail and start working through that process. It’s going to take a little bit of time though.”

The Illinois House is back in session next week and is typically in session 60-90 days per year from January through the end of May.

“The budget we had this last time was not balanced, so that just adds to the debt and challenges,” Bennett added.
