P3 appoints Blake Horsley as Country Head for Romania

by P3 Logistic Parks January 20, 2016

P3, the specialist owner, developer and manager of European logistics properties, has appointed Blake Horsley as Country Head for Romania. He will oversee the company’s continuing expansion in Romania, a market that P3 believes has great potential due to its growing importance in Europe’s manufacturing supply chain. Horsley has been based in Romania for the last eight years.

Horsley, 31, has 12 years of experience in real estate, with a background in investment, transactions and private equity as well as people and project management. He started his career in his native country, New Zealand. At just 23 years old, he became Colliers International’s the youngest ever manager when he was appointed manager of the Metropolitan Sales & Leasing Teams in Wellington. From 2008 to 2013, he led Colliers International Romania investment team as the Director of Capital Markets. Since 2013, Horsley has been the Vice President and Head of Acquisitions for Benevo Capital Corporation in Romania, where he will remain as a member of the board.

Peter Bečár, P3’s Managing Director for CEE, said: “We are delighted that Blake has joined the P3 team in Romania. With his extensive experience in real estate, especially in the investment area, and his managerial skills, he is the perfect addition to our team. We believe his strong expertise in the asset management, construction and logistic markets will help us to further expand our activities in Romania, where we have currently been running several developments in P3 Bucharest.”

Horsley, Country Head Romania, said: “I am very happy to be joining the P3 team at such an exciting time for the business. I am looking forward to be working with the knowledgeable team here in Romania and to continue to grow P3’s excellent platform that has been established by this team over the past 12 months. ”

P3, which is active in 12 countries across Europe, established a presence in Romania five years ago and is currently expanding its operations in the country.

The company has recently started work on its first Build-To-Suit developments at its P3 Bucharest park since it purchased it at the beginning of 2015. The project is part of a deal to establish an 81,000 m2 logistics hub at the park for leading European retailer Carrefour. The two new buildings will bring P3’s total portfolio in Romania, which already includes eight warehouses, to circa 270,000 m2. Strategically located approximately 13 km west of Bucharest city centre, P3 Bucharest has the potential to provide around 114,000 m2 of new space in units ranging from 4,000 m2 to 40,000 m2.

WASHINGTON (December 10, 2014) - With unanimous bipartisan support, the U.S. Senate today approved H.R. 4007, the "Protecting and Securing Chemical Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of 2014." The legislation provides a four-year authorization of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS). The bill is an amended version of legislation reported out of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and approved by the House earlier this year.

The following statement can be attributed to Cal Dooley , President and CEO of the American Chemistry Council (ACC):

"We applaud the Senate for taking action to move CFATS forward and for supporting the ongoing effort to safeguard chemical facilities. We especially thank Chairman Tom Carper and Ranking Member Tom Coburn for their dedication and leadership to pass legislation in the Senate this year to extend this important program. Both senators and their staffs deserve a lot of credit for working hard with all stakeholders to find a bipartisan solution that will help protect workers and communities.

"The bill passed by the Senate will provide the long overdue stability that the Department of Homeland Security needs to stay on course and successfully implement CFATS. Moreover, the measure will support industry's long-term investments to enhance security and will fulfill one of the key recommendations issued by an interagency Working Group as part of President Obama's  Executive Order 13650 on Improving Chemical Facility Safety and Security.

"We strongly urge the House to approve this legislation before it adjourns and send it to President Obama for his signature."

Postponement Can Help Avoid Further Burdens on Economic Recovery, Job Creation

ARLINGTON, VA (March 18, 2010) - On March 15, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland (D) sent a letter to U.S. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson regarding EPA's plans for addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from stationary sources under the authority of the Clean Air Act (CAA).  Governor Strickland expressed concern that large numbers of stationary sources, such as generating plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities, will immediately be subjected to GHG permitting requirements - including Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements - when  BACT technology is undetermined.  He asked that permitting rules on large stationary sources of GHGs be deferred until commercially available BACT exists to meet CAA requirements.  His letter also cited concerns about financial and economic impacts on Ohio as a result of EPA's planned regulatory path.

American Chemistry Council (ACC) President and CEO Cal Dooley issued the following statement:

"We applaud Governor Strickland for weighing in with his concerns to EPA Administrator Jackson as to the significant challenges raised by EPA's planned stationary source regulations and the need for a deferral.  We share his 'deep concerns' with EPA's impending regulations and 'the impact this approach will have on Ohio's economy and working families.'  While the economy is struggling and Ohio and other states are trying mightily to add jobs, regulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from industrial facilities, power plants, restaurants, and other places of commerce would only hinder recovery and job creation.

"Like Governor Strickland, we are troubled that EPA guidance is lacking as to Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements associated with the permit program.  We believe the result will be regulatory confusion and a virtual construction freeze across Ohio - one of America's manufacturing and technology leaders - and the nation.  Ironically, EPA's action could cause the delay or cancellation of many energy efficiency investments and stimulus-related projects - the very projects that the administration wants to expand to help aid recovery and reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

Jack Pounds, President of the Ohio Chemistry Technology Council, said, "We are grateful that Governor Strickland has once again taken a decisive stand for the needs of Ohioans to achieve a strong economy and a cleaner environment.  He appreciates the role of the chemical industry in creating high-technology products and related jobs that are critical to Ohio's future economic health.

"Ohio's $24 billion chemical industry employs nearly 46,000 people at an average annual wage of $64,600, which is 24 percent higher than the average manufacturing wage.  The industry indirectly contributes 155,943 jobs to the economy. For every chemistry industry job in Ohio, an additional 3.4 jobs are created within the state's economy."

Cal Dooley added, "EPA has said it intends to finalize the rule for mobile sources - cars and light trucks - by March 31, leading to regulation of GHGs at as many as six million stationary sources.  Congress and the Administration must act immediately to postpone EPA stationary source regulation that could have far-reaching consequences for economic recovery, job creation and energy efficiency."

Billions of devices, from phones and tablets to self-driving cars and connected dishwashers, are thirstily awaiting the rise of 5G wireless connectivity, and the big wireless carriers are scrambling to bring these powerful new networks to market. According to documents obtained by Axios, however, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile might be nudged out of the race to 5G—not by an industry competitor, but by the U.S. government.

The National Security Council has circulated a proposal to nationalize the country's 5G wireless capacity into a single network in order to protect U.S. digital infrastructure from foreign security threats and to keep pace with China's rate of wireless network development.

The big wireless carriers would not be entirely left in the dust. If 5G connectivity were nationalized, the carriers would then be able to "rent" access to the network, and then compete over other aspects of their services. Axios reports that the carriers' reactions to the idea have been "mixed," though T-Mobile, being very un-carrier-y, leans more in favor of nationalization due to their desire to see a "level playing field." This assumes that everyone gets charged the same for access, which is by no means guaranteed.

The proposal also weighs the benefits of allowing the carriers to continue with their own 5G rollouts in order to keep from unnecessarily disrupting the existing market, but the concern is that this path would take too long and cost too much.

A page scanned from the NSC proposal.

The "G" in 5G is for "government"?

There are a lot of hand-wavy elements to this proposal, which is less a detailed plan-of-action than an informed musing on a big idea ("hey guys, what if we..."). It includes some guesswork about how much all this new infrastructure would cost ($200 billion for fiber? Maybe?), as well as speculation as to how this would be deployed. It posits ideas such as giving early preference to rural communities for an assumed "revenue stream" and new "air and space" layers for remote locations and emergency access.

The impact on consumers is addressed primarily in terms of what 5G enables—what the NSC document is calling the "Massive Internet of Things"—but there's no discussion of what consumers will actually be paying for or how. Three years from now, when you go into a carrier store to buy the Samsung Galaxy S12 Plus Quad-Folding VR Holo-Phone, will you also be paying for a data plan, or will it be just another public utility? (All those VR Holo-Phone selfies will eat up a lot of data.)

There is a fixation on China in the proposal, both as a competitor and as the "dominant malicious actor in the Information Domain," and, tellingly, there is no mention of Russia's incursion during the last election. The document makes the odd claim that "telecommunications manufacturers have all but disappeared," and foresees Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE to be the only manufacturers of radios to avoid a decline in the coming years.

Can this achieve liftoff?

As it says in the proposal, nationalizing American 5G is a "moonshot." It's significant that there's any serious discussion about turning the Information Superhighway (ask your parents) into the National Highway System (ask your grandparents). But just like the highway system, we'd all be relying on the government to keep the network running at peak performance.

It also seems politically infeasible. Republicans would likely revolt over the idea of the nationalization of anything whatsoever, while progressives and Democrats might bristle at the idea of the state having so much more power over Americans' communications than they already do.

And frankly, if the carriers aren't all in favor of nationalization, then it's likely that a majority on the Federal Communications Commission wouldn't be either, and it's the FCC that's calling the shots on wireless spectrum. It's a moonshot that could crash and burn on Ajit Pai's desk.

Here it is, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's response, and it's not a surprise:

I oppose any proposal for the federal government to build and operate a nationwide 5G network. The main lesson to draw from the wireless sector's development over the past three decades—including American leadership in 4G—is that the market, not government, is best positioned to drive innovation and investment. What government can and should do is to push spectrum into the commercial marketplace and set rules that encourage the private sector to develop and deploy next-generation infrastructure. Any federal effort to construct a nationalized 5G network would be a costly and counterproductive distraction from the policies we need to help the United States win the 5G future.

Social Events: Airport Clue Find

Contributed by: Charlie Baker, Diocese of Auckland

Teams must solve the clues around the airport and meet back at a designated spot (e.g. McDonald’s) within a preset time.

Beforehand, head to your airport (or a mall will also work well) and scout out some information for the clues. Signs, displays and shops are all great options for clues, for example:

  • What are the security requirements for Liquids, Aerosols and Gels for international passengers?
  • What is to the left of the Bio security Service desk?
  • How many entry/exit doors are there?
  • How many check-in counters are there?
  • How long has Walker and Hall been in business?

Young Adults: Shame

Contributed by: Spanky Moore, Diocese of Christchurch

Followers of Jesus can cop plenty of flack for what they believe, Christian culture, and wrong doings of the church. How do Christians move from feeling timid or defensive about our faith, towards being confident?

A study on Romans 1:8-17 for young adults from the Society of Salt and Light, in Christchurch.

A quick introduction to the week’s bible passages and theme, which aims to engage people in the big picture of God’s story, and the challenge of living faith in light of that.

Back when Christchurch had a city, in front of the Cathedral during the day would be Ted the Street Preacher. Ted had a gravelly voice and wore a belt with a special drink bottle holder for his oversized drink bottle. From his position in the square he would boom from the depths of his bowels a message of God’s deep disappointment with the general public, debate with other unemployed folk who were looking for free lunchtime entertainment, and exchange evil stares with The Wizard. Nothing was more embarrassing than having to walk past Ted with my non-Christian friends during lunch, hearing their snide comments about Christians, and then trying to distance my faith from his. “Oh he’s not like most of us”.
It seems that some Christians in this world, like Ted, are just shameless when it comes to talking about what they believe. Admittedly, some people never seem to ever feel any shame about anything ever – not always a great thing for understanding social cues. Some of you might not get why we’re even talking about Christian shame at all – because from your point of view it’s all good. Yes, even the flag dancing old lady in church with the ribbons in her hair. So ask yourself this one question; when was the last time you brought a non-Christian along to church and why? Nervousness? Embarrassment? Shame, even?
Looking at our passage in Romans you get the impression that Paul was either one of these shameless Christians who didn’t care what people thought of him, or, that his confidence in the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was so powerful, so transformative, and such an important message to share with the world that he overcame his fear of rejection and shame for the sake of God’s call on his life.
As followers of Jesus each of us, like Paul, also have a call on our lives to share God’s good news. So how do we deal with our fear of social rejection from those who might think of us as brainwashed, deluded, pushy or lame? What things are we willing to stick out about, or even be rejected over? And how do Christians make sure we’re offending people over the right counter-cultural “gospel” stuff, and not just turning them off because we’re culturally out of touch? Flag dancing anyone?

Discussion Questions

Choose from questions for the Scholars  |  the Dreamers  |  the Realists  |  the Activists

For the Scholars

Discussion questions focusing on exploring the bible passage.

1. Out of everything, what makes you (or would make you) most ashamed of Christianity?

2. On the other hand, what would make you most comfortable to be associated with Christianity?

READ Romans 1:8-15

3. What seems to drive Paul – what is his passion, from these verses?

READ Romans 1:16-17

4. Why, from verse 16, is Paul not ashamed of the ‘good news’?

5. What do you think is significant about the idea that the gospel is ‘the power of God for salvation’? How might that help us when we are inclined to feel ashamed to share our message?

6. Whose righteousness is revealed in the gospel? Can you think of ways that the gospel does this?

7. Thinking back to what you said you were inclined to be ashamed of at the start, how much of that is actually tied to ‘the gospel’, and how much is tied to other things? Are you ashamed of the gospel or something else?

8. Think back to what you said made you most comfortable to be associated with Christianity. How do these things arise from ‘the gospel’?

9. On reflection, what do you think is the single biggest obstacle to you sharing this ‘good news’ with other people? In what ways, if any, would this be helped by seeing the gospel as God’s power for salvation, and as a revelation of God’s righteousness?

Discussion questions focusing on mulling over the theme.

1. Name a thing or a specific time when you’ve felt shame or embarrassment for being a follower of Jesus or part of Christian culture? What was it exactly about that situation that brought it on? (eg A street preacher yelling about Hell, Fire and Brimstone, or the Westboro Baptist “God hates Fags” Church, or Child Molestation by Priests). How common is timidness an issue for Christians?

2. Psychologists say the three ingredients that create shame are silence, secrecy and judgement. How do those three things play out to contribute to “Christian Shame” in our own lives? What might be “Christian antidotes” to counter those ingredients of shame?

3. Over the centuries Christians and the Church have been involved with terrible atrocities (the crusades, witch burning, sexual abuse, and the persecution of minorities…) and these are often things people will use against followers of Jesus as examples of a corrupt faith. Should a Christian take any responsibility for the past actions of our Church? What’s your response to people who criticize your faith based on historical wrongs?

4. It’s natural to want to fit in and be accepted by those around or above us – but often when people challenge or mock our faith we can become defensive, ungraceful and aggressive in our responses – or timid with our confidence knocked so our faith becomes private. How can followers of Jesus find confidence when it can feel as if the world is having a go at us?

5. In our passage from Romans, Paul says he’s not ashamed of the gospel, in fact he goes as far as saying he feels an obligation to share the gospel with Jews and gentiles (non-jews). What holds you back from having that sort of confidence in your faith? Do you feel “obliged” to share the good news with the world – or does that world make you nervous? What has your experience been of sharing your faith with non-Christians? (Watch Sticking Out on Campus with Dr Bob Hall to hear of his experience of becoming a Christian while working at Canterbury University and his advice to Christian students)

6. What do you think is the single biggest obstacle to you sharing this ‘good news’ with other people?

Possibilities for on topic testimonials, sharing and story telling.

Reject-proof: Ask someone outside your group from your church to talk for 5 minutes about a time when they’ve felt rejected for being a Christian and how they dealt with that. Did they find any comfort in the Bible or other Christians? How did the experience impact them in the long run? Remember to give them at least a few days warning so they can prepare well.

Activities and adventures beyond the couch.

ConfessionalConfessional: For those of you at the Festival of Salt and Light you probably remember seeing this outdoor confession booth – it was a place to confess our sins anonymously before God.
Since one of the ways to deal with that sense of shame is to avoid silence and secrecy – construct a temporary confession booth one night at where ever your group meets. Take turns confessing to each other the things you feel most ashamed about from the Church’s past or present. How does it feel to confess things you weren’t responsible for? How does it feel to hear the confessions of the past?
Extreme option for the Brave – Locate the Confession Booth for one night on the side of a busy street, a mall, or outside your church and confess to
willing strangers as they walk past. How do people react? Do they care? Do they think you’re just weirdo’s? Are they moved?

So you were injured in a car accident. Then the injury was made worse by medical procedures intended to treat it. In Tucker v. Korpita, the Fourth District Court of Appeal explains that the person whose negligence caused the accident is on the hook for both the original injury and any later aggravation of it.

In 2007, Andrew Korpita and Earleen Tucker were involved in a West Palm Beach car accident in which Korpita rear-ended Tucker. Korpita admitted that he was negligent and a trial was held on the issues of causation and damages.

At trial, two doctors testified about treating Tucker for neck and back injuries following the accident. One, Dr. Robert Simon, testified that he performed a minimally invasive percutaneous discectomy on Tucker, which reduced the effects of her impairment. Another, Dr. Jane Bistline, testified that she performed a lumbar discogram and epidural steroid injections on Tucker. Dr. Bistline found that Tucker suffered from three bulging discs, an impairment she believed to be permanent.

Korpita’s personal representative also called a number of doctors to testify, including Drs. Jordan Grabel and Robert Kagan, expert witnesses who testified that the discectomy performed on Korpita by Dr. Simon was not necessary because the procedure is designed to treat people who suffer from a herniated disc. In Dr. Grabel’s opinion, Korpita’s injury was the result of spondylolisthesis in the lower lumbar spine, a preexisting condition that was not made worse as a result of the accident. Dr. Kagan, meanwhile, concluded that Korpita suffers from a “pseudo herniation” and that the discectomy could have accelerated the effects of the impairment.

At a conference near the close of the trial, Tucker asked the court to instruct the jury that when a person is injured in a car accident as a result of another person’s negligence and the resulting injuries are later aggravated by negligent medical care, the negligent driver is considered the proximate cause of both the original injury and any aggravation. The trial court denied this request. The jury found that Tucker was not permanently injured as a result of the accident, but returned a $17,700 verdict in his favor for medical expenses and lost wages.

On appeal, the Fourth District ruled that the trial court should have issued the “intervening cause” instruction to the jury as Tucker requested. The court explained that in Stuart v. Hertz Corp., the Florida Supreme Court held that a person whose negligence causes an accident or injury is responsible for additional injuries caused by the medical negligence of a physician treating the plaintiff for the original injuries.

In this case, the jury instruction was necessary because Korpita’s medical experts testified that Tucker’s injury may have been aggravated by the discectomy procedure. Without the instruction, the jury could have been misled to believe that Korpita was not liable for the any aggravation of the original injury, the court concluded.

Rear end accidents are among the most common types of automobile collisions in the United States. The South Florida rear end accident attorneys at Anidjar & Levine work hard to zealously represent clients. Anidjar & Levine’s lawyers commonly represent individuals who were injured in rear end collisions, and we persevere to get the best possible results for our clients.

Key issue
The election debate focused on differences between the major parties’ competing broadband deployment plans. However, it is also important to compare Australia’s access rates with the rest of the world.

National broadband plans

National broadband plans are not unique to Australia. The International Telecommunications Union 2013 report, Planning for Progress: Why National Broadband Plans Matter, notes that there has been recent strong growth in plans, with some 134 plans in place by mid-2013. There is a preference for national broadband plans in European countries. The plans take different forms, such as legislation, policy frameworks, strategy and/or regulations.

In Australia, a plan for a National Broadband Network (NBN) was announced in April 2009 by the then Labor Government. Besides addressing Australia’s performance in broadband availability and performance, the policy foundation for the NBN was the structural separation of Telstra to prevent it from providing retail services on a fixed line network it controls.

An article in the Parliamentary Library’s Budget Review 2013–14 provides background on each of the major party’s NBN policy commitments prior to the election. Both plans would deliver access for all premises using a mix of technologies. The Labor NBN plan was to connect optical fibre to 93% of premises and use a mixture of satellite and fixed wireless for the remaining 7% of premises.

The Coalition Government’s plan retains the same solution for the 7% but uses a mix of technologies for the other 93% of premises. These premises are to be connected with optic fibre. This mix has three main components:

  • fibre to the node (FTTN), which runs fibre to a powered cabinet in the street that then connects to the existing Telstra copper lines running to premises
  • fibre to the premises (FTTP) for new estates as in Labor’s plan and
  • hybrid fibre coaxial cable (HFC) that is used for pay TV, internet access and telephony. HFC cables already pass more than two million premises, mainly in more affluent metropolitan areas.

Structural separation

The NBN is being built and run by a government-owned enterprise, NBN Co. This is a wholesale-only network, which does not provide retail services directly to end-users. Its customers are retail service providers (RSPs). Under the NBN model, Telstra stands on the same footing as the many other RSPs in the market. As the fibre network is rolled out, Telstra will cease to provide retail services over the network it controls—the copper network—consistent with the legislative definition of structural separation.

For many premises, copper lines will continue to be maintained by Telstra under an agreement with the Australian Government in order that standard phone and payphone services can continue to operate pursuant to the universal service obligation.

The Coalition also supports structural separation of Telstra, but, as its technical solution requires the use of Telstra’s copper lines to the premises, it proposes to buy the copper lines from Telstra. The Coalition asserts that it will be able to acquire the copper lines from Telstra without further cost beyond those contemplated by agreements already in place with Telstra.

Australia’s broadband performance

According to a report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, there were 12.2 million internet subscribers in Australia in 2012, with over 98% of internet connections being broadband. There were also six million wireless broadband connections. Advertised download rates that recorded the highest number of users—5.4 million subscribers—were in the 8 megabits per second (Mbps) to 24 Mbps range. In the 24 Mbps or greater range, there were over 1.6 million subscribers.

According to the authoritative Akamai report, The State of the Internet: 1st Quarter, 2013, the average global connection speed (or data transfer rate) is 3.1 Mbps. The global average peak speed (maximum measured speed) is 18.4 Mbps. South Korea had the highest average connection speed at 14.2 Mbps, while Hong Kong had the highest peak speeds (63.6 Mbps). Australia ranks in the middle range.

The OECD Communications Outlook 2013 report notes that advertised broadband speeds are based on download data rates. However, an exception to this approach is broadband plans where data capacity is limited by data-capped offers which seem to occur in only a few Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.

Fixed and mobile access

The OECD report also notes that, in some countries, mobile broadband providers are increasingly advertising broadband capacity at levels much closer to those of fixed broadband offers. The OECD median capacity for September 2012 for broadband mobile at 12 Mbps is not far from the fixed broadband median rate in 2010 of 15.4 Mbps. This keeps alive a debate on fixed and mobile access.

Points of difference between plans

The Coalition promises a faster completion date and lower costs compared to the Labor plan. The fact that the Coalition’s plan has a target of 20% of premises getting fibre directly seems to suggest some recognition that FTTP is desirable. Speaking for the Coalition, Malcolm Turnbull stated there would be a strategic review of the time and costs to complete the NBN on the current specifications and the implications for consumers.

The Labor NBN involved peak government equity of $30.4 billion with NBN Co having peak debt funding of $13.7 billion. The forecast total was thus $44.1 billion in peak funding. The Coalition forecast total peak funding of $29.5 billion for its plan, all of which could be public funding if required.

NBN Co’s Corporate Plan 2012–2015 states that the rate of return on invested funds will be 7.1%, which means that the Government’s equity injections are not treated as outgoings in the Budget (they are thus ‘off-budget’). Similarly, the Coalition will require NBN Co to provide a positive after-inflation return on government equity invested after the election with the aim of allowing those contributions to be off-budget. In both cases, assumptions underpin the calculations.

NBN rollout

NBN Co has revised down its rollout targets from its first corporate plan for 2011–2013 which had forecast that the fibre network would pass 1,268,000 premises by 30 June 2013. The 2012–2015 corporate plan revised that forecast down to 341,000. On 4 July 2013, NBN Co stated that it had actually passed 207,500 fibre premises which fell within the revised target range it had set since the last corporate plan.

Key issues for the Coalition Government’s plan

A challenge for the Coalition Government will be the need to renegotiate aspects of the agreements that NBN Co has with Telstra, in order to to allow the use of Telstra’s copper lines which would otherwise be decommissioned under Labor’s FTTP plan. Related to this is the challenge of keeping the NBN investment ‘off-budget.’ Malcolm Turnbull, now Minister for Communications, has also already acted to change the NBN Board.

What not to miss during Asia Week New York

16 March 2015

This may be hard to believe, but not all the best art is in Maastricht this week. The world’s finest Asian art is dazzling Manhattan until 21 March. Should proof be needed of Asia Week New York’s importance, the experienced dealer Gisèle Croës has upped sticks from her native Brussels, forsaken TEFAF for a second year and installed a wonderful show at Gagosian’s Madison Avenue galleries.

Asia Week New York, now in its fifth year, substantially outstrips its predecessors. Some 22 museums and cultural institutions are taking part – among them the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is celebrating the centenary of its Asian Art department. Five auction houses will bring the hammer down at 25 sales, including a seven-part Christie’s sale of Robert Hatfield Ellsworth’s renowned collection. There are symposiums, lectures and tours, and at the core of the festivities, 42 top-tier international dealers have mounted their own exceptional shows.

Almost all the events can be enjoyed for free, so this is a great opportunity to explore a wide range of art, to see it up close and benefit from a wealth of specialist knowledge. And the well-designed website is something many other art fairs could take as their template.

On a marathon day-long walk I visited 27 of the dealers’ shows. I had originally intended to select the 10 best, but it quickly became clear that this was a futile project: with very few exceptions, every show is worth a thorough visit. Those selected here, spanning China, Korea, Japan and the Indian subcontinent, should whet your appetite to see more.

Let’s start with Gisèle Croës. ‘I suppose you know I specialise in Chinese art’, she says modestly as introduction. ‘My main field is early bronzes. But what you see here is an overview of Chinese art which starts in 3,000 BC.’ And off she goes, chatting away about a 9th-century BC miniature incense burner, and an 11th-century BC wine vase, while standing glowing in front of a 2nd-century AD monumental bronze horse. ‘For me, Asia Week New York is the most important. Everyone comes. It’s an international gathering around the best of Asian art.’

At Kang Collection, New York dealer Keum Ja Kang – who had one of the most exciting displays last year – is showing what she calls ‘Happy Modern’ modern and contemporary Korean paintings’. Sun K. Kwak has created picture-sculptures of brightly coloured sticky tape; Ik-Joong Kang, who lives in New York and is best known for his vast installation at the Korean Pavilion at Shanghai’s Expo 2010, presents unexpectedly ethereal and calm moon pictures.

Joan B. Mirviss, another New Yorker, has been dealing in Japanese ceramics since 1984. This year she has used her unerring eye to gather a group of bulbous Tsubo jars – which she suggests evoke the heart – to tell the story of Japan’s unbroken ceramics tradition from the 3rd century BC to the present. The sensual avant-garde and contemporary pots include Kamoda Shoji’s finely-striped, shimmering blue and white vessel from 1978 and Ogata Kamio’s 2014 pleated and marbleised vessel – a Fortuni creation in clay. In addition, don’t miss the ceramic boxes at Dai Ichi Arts Ltd.

Other local New York local dealers with exceptional shows include Carol Conover at her Kaikodo gallery, Nicholas Grindley, Michael Hughes, Nayef Homsi, Carlton Rochell and Erik Thomsen. Thomsen’s little-known 20th-century Taisho period screens are a revelation.

This year, perhaps spurred on by the exceptional Indian auction sales and the Met’s upcoming show of Deccan art (20 April–26 July), there are more specialist Indian art dealers and their shows are especially fine. Where to start? From London, Francesca Galloway, Prahlad Bubbar and Oliver Forge & Brendan Lynch Ltd bring exquisite miniature paintings, many of which are on the market for the first time. Prahlad Bubbar is showing at 1016 Madison Avenue, where Christophe Hioco has brought his stunning Indian sculptures from Paris, Carlo Cristi his newly acquired bronzes from Daverio in Italy, and the local Walter Arader his broad take on Himalayan art.

Finally, this trio of beautifully exhibited, top Indian shows is not to be missed: Dalton-Somaré from Milan has sculptures and bronzes sourced by the remarkable Vigorelli family; Dr Robert R. Bigler says he took 16 years to gather his pre Yongle-period 13th- and 14th-century bronzes from Switzerland; and New Yorker Nancy Wiener, daughter of doyenne Doris Wiener, has once again gathered pieces of astonishing quality. She frankly admits she’d like to live with some forever. A good recommendation.

Asia Week New York runs until 21 March. Visit their website for the full programme of exhibitions and events.

Nintendo has revealed its latest Labo set, the VR Kit, which turns the Switch into a virtual reality headset. The new Toy-Con–as Labo kits are called–launches on April 12, and includes new minigames as well as additional physical cardboard to make the VR headset.

Nintendo says the new kit “encourages passing around Toy-Con creations among a group of people so everyone in the room can easily join in on the fun.” The company continues: “To help encourage this social gameplay, players simply slip the Nintendo Switch console into the Toy-Con VR Goggles and hold it up to their eyes to explore numerous games and experiences–no head-strap needed.”

Gallery image 1Gallery image 2Gallery image 3Gallery image 4Gallery image 5

The new Toy-Con is available in two configurations: the complete VR Kit set includes the Switch software and materials to build all six Labo VR projects–VR Goggles, Blaster, Camera, Bird, Wind Pedal, and Elephant. The VR Starter Set, meanwhile, includes the Switch software, but only the materials needed to build the VR Goggles and Blaster. Both sets also include a safety cap and screen holder, for people who prefer to play the minigames in traditional 2D. Those who buy the Starter Set can then complete their collection later on by purchasing two expansions–one including the Elephant and Camera, the other including the Wind Pedal and Bird.

In The US, the VR Kit is priced at $80, while the Starter Set + Blaster kit goes for $40. Owners of the latter can pick up the two VR Kit expansions for $20 each.

Nintendo has dabbled in VR once before, with the 1995 release of its short-lived Virtual Boy system. The console was a head-mounted device that brought an early form of virtual reality into people’s homes; it suffered from poor commercial performance, however, so was discontinued just a year after launch. Nintendo Labo, meanwhile, first launched in April 2018, and we awarded the first kit a 7/10. For more information on the first set, check out our Nintendo Labo Variety Kit review.

New Zealand: a backdrop of snow covered mountains

It has been autumn going through to winter in our beautiful country and I have had the opportunity to trip around and visit some of the stores and experience some breath taking scenery along the way.

The trees make a spectacular display of reds, browns, golds and yellows with a backdrop of snow covered mountains and crisp clear blue/green lakes streams and rivers. The colours of our unique New Zealand shell, the Paua, are mirrored in the landscape.

But this made me think about the other places in the world our unique product travels to from our wee base here in Blenheim New Zealand.

We have stores all over the world who sell our jewellery and I was amazed when I first started out on this journey of discovery to find out just where it went to and love to “google” the locations to find out a bit more about these places.

Just this week we have exported to The Caribbean, The Bahamas, England, United States, Germany, France and The Maldives just to name a few.

It makes me so proud to know I play a small part in getting our wee “piece of New Zealand” to these far off lands and people get to enjoy our unique and beautiful product.

Vicky’s blog: Classical pieces of “sea opal” and the myriad of colours

I would like to take time this week to feature a few of the classical pieces I have come across in my journey through the jewellery making process.

Our designers have the experience and passion to create the highest quality handcrafted jewellery.

They gather their inspiration from our awe inspiring surroundings here in New Zealand and then only the very best Paua shell is selected with the greatest care to adorn the 22Carat Gold and Palladium plated pieces.

My personal favourite is our GP802 pendant – it showcases the myriad of colours of the Paua Shell or “sea opal” to perfection.

However it is difficult to choose just one as each one is so unique and precious.

Third parties

Posted By on Thu, Mar 15, 2007 at 6:10 AM

The ACLU is right, as usual. The bill to supposedly make petition requirements for third parties comply with court rulings is nothing but a higher bar to third-party candidacies. Two months to obtain the needed signatures instead of five? No grace period after an initial count to add signatures? Bad bill. Which probably means it's good to go. More legal fees a-coming.

S&P Stops 1 Point From our Projection Made January 2016

CSHSP-Y 1-28-2016

Congratulations Marty. We closed out the year less than one point away from your maximum (Tech 3) SPX 2016 target of 2239.8038 that your computer established on January 1st, 2016. That’s impressive. I never thought we’d see that number back in January or February, but fortunately your computer harbors no emotion and no bias! Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do.

REPLY: The S&P500 indeed closed in cash at 2238.83 one tick below our target resistance we published back on January 28th, 2016 at 2239.8038. The broader trends cannot be altered. It is like trying to make a u-turn in an aircraft carrier versus a speed boat. This does warn of caution for it was 7 years up in time.

CFTC will sue Corzine but Civilly

There is no hint of the Department of Justice bringing Criminal Charges against Corzine. But the worldwide criticism against the players in NYC being the “Untouchables”, has been widespread. The government hopes to address this issue the same as always with a civil charge that will eventually be dismissed for a fine as always and they will pretend they did their job. Why have regulators when they only criminally prosecute people outside of the “CLUB”.

Home Loan Modifications

When the real estate bubble burst, many homeowners found themselves in a perilous position. First, many homeowners found themselves holding onto houses that were severely underwater. In other words, they owed much more on their house than it was worth. These homeowners were making monthly payments which were significantly higher than what the payment should have been for the house. Second, along with the real estate burst came unemployment. A homeowner who is facing a high amount of negative equity who then loses his or her job likely must make tough decisions as to where to spend the remaining amount of money that they had. Oftentimes, this meant that homes payments simply cannot be met.

As a result, foreclosures increased and homeowners lost their homes. In response, the US government created the Home Affordable Modification Plan (“HAMP”) …..which was a disaster. In the beginning months and years of the HAMP program a few thousand mortgages were modified while millions of homeowners were rejected. Thereafter, many of the large lenders started in-house modification programs resembling the federal program but run much more efficiently. In our experience, we have seen many more homeowners receive a modification of their home mortgage in recent years as result. This is good news for the homeowner, because for many homeowners that are behind on their mortgage, their options are very limited.

Home loan modification generally works in this way: the missed monthly payments are tacked onto the end of the mortgage loan and the interest rate is lowered to allow for the debtor to make affordable payments. This is a tremendous opportunity because it essentially deems the mortgage current and at the same time, reduces a homeowner’s monthly payment. The process is long and daunting as it requires the debtor to provide significant financial paperwork. This process is also frustrating for the homeowner as he or she will have to mail those documents to the lender multiple times, since much of the paperwork can be lost in transition. However, we routinely advise clients that the benefits of modification greatly outweigh the burden. The terrifying thing for homeowners in the midst of a modification process is that oftentimes, the bank will be conducting foreclosure at the same time as negotiations of the modification. This is startling to many homeowners since the bank is telling them on one hand that they are moving forward with the modification and that everything looks good while with the other hand they are filing the necessary paperwork to repossess the home via a foreclosure. In fact, we have had clients who have received their modification mere days before the foreclosure.

Unfortunately, not every modification is approved. The decision is based on ability to pay and other criteria of the bank and government, which inherently means that some will get approved and some will get rejected. If you are rejected, then you may have to face the only two viable alternatives: letting the house go to foreclosure or filing for a chapter 13 bankruptcy in order to save your home. In our experience, a home loan modification is by far the best result for an unfortunate situation that in some circumstances has been going on for years. A modification often requires a trial period of three months for the bank to test your ability to make the modified payments. If you are successful and timely in making these payments, the bank will then grant your permanent modification and your payments will be set until the end of the loan or until you default again.

If a modification fails, then a homeowner has certain defenses in the foreclosure process. While these defenses may not necessarily allow the homeowner to keep the home, it certainly may allow additional time in the home. The experience attorneys and Arnold & Smith, PLLC can help you negotiate with the bank for a modification and defend against foreclosure. We invite you to contact us to set up an initial consultation discuss your rights and your opportunities to save your home.

Arsenal demand major fee from Juventus for Ramsey Jan move

Below is a summary of the full article. Click here for the full version or go back to Arsenal Live

Arsenal are demanding a major fee from Juventus if they want to sign Aaron Ramsey this month.

The Mirror says Arsenal have told Juventus that it will cost them £18m to sign Ramsey this month.

The Gunners are refusing to allow Ramsey to leave on the cheap during the transfer window, even though the Wales star has already agreed to join perennial Serie A champions Juve when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has said there is no money for permanent buys this month only loans, but believes it will leave his squad stretched if he allows the 28-year-old to move to Italy without a replacement midfielder being brought in.

And with Juventus pushing to recruit Ramsey now to boost their chances of winning an eighth successive title and lifting the Champions League again, the Gunners have slapped a high price on the player's head.

Damien Hirst Emperor Spotted Stark Naked At Art Basel Miami

The vicissitudes of the art market have claimed another high profile scalp, according to data collected by Artnet and analysed in a Bloomberg article last week, Damien Hirst prices are static. Walking around Art Basel Miami this week there are many works by the British YBA Artist on offer, but few takers for a multitude of spots, butterflies and pharmaceuticals.

Damien Hirst’s output between 2005 and 2008 – the period of his greatest success – has subsequently resold at an average of thirty per cent less than its original purchase price. Moreover, a third of the almost 1700 Hirst pieces that have gone to auction since 2009 have failed to sell at all. Most recently, in November, his gloss-and-butterfly collage Sanctimony failed to reach its lowest pre-sale estimate at a Sotheby’s auction.
So what has caused this collapse? Is it just market fickleness, or is it indicative of a more permanent shift in how Hirst’s work is perceived?
One explanation looks back over the latter stages of Hirst’s career for an answer. His work hit its market peak between 2005 and 2008. In that time:
his ovine sculpture Away from the Flock sold for £1.8m;
The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (the shark) went for £6-7m;
his medicine cabinet Lullaby Spring reached £9.65m, setting new a record for a living artist at the time;
and most notoriously of all, his diamond-encrusted skull, For the Love of God, sold for £50m.
This period culminated in September 2008, when Hirst and his manger Frank Dunphy organised a two-day sale of 223 original artworks at Sotheby’s. This was the first time an artist had sold a complete body of their work, and Hirst added to the event’s theatricality by titling it ‘The Beautiful Inside My Head Forever.’ Financially, it was tremendous success, making a total of £111m.
Hirst’s dealers, however, were worried that the sale might flood the market and damage the value of Hirst’s work. Their concern now seems justified: it is unlikely to be a coincidence that The Beautiful… occurred shortly before the start of the downward trend identified by Artnet. In market terms, there has been an oversupply of Hirst’s work, contributing to a drop in demand and so decline in price.
Oversupply is not the only possible explanation, however. An alternative or perhaps subsidiary reason, preferred by sceptics of the artistic worth of Hirst’s work, is that collectors have finally noticed that the Emperor is showing rather a lot of flesh. The familiar contention is that Hirst’s output, like the majority of YBA creations, lacks substance and longevity and was swept to prominence solely on the back of a short-lived trendiness.
This view was anticipated by the outspoken gallery owner Julian Spalding, who predicted back in March that Hirst’s work would crash in value. Writing in the Independent, Spalding called works by Hirst the “sub-prime of the art world” and advised owners to “sell while you can.”
“The emperor has nothing on,” wrote Spalding. “When the penny drops that these are not art, it’s all going to collapse. Hirst should not be in the Tate. He’s not an artist. What separates Michelangelo from Hirst is that Michelangelo was an artist and Hirst isn’t.”
The Daily Mail has also taken the opportunity provided by Artnet’s data to publish an attack on Hirst. An article on 28 November interpreted the drop as marking the end of “the astonishing  story of how Hirst — a salesman with no artistic ability — made more than £300 million from the ‘art’ he has sold.”
So are we seeing the end of an era? Has the market finally seen Hirst for the charlatan he really is? Or is this simply a temporary wobble, caused by the forces of supply and demand, which has nothing to do with the worthiness of Hirst’s work?
Of course, as soon as the Mail starts to pour scorn on a much-criticised artist it feels as if the artist’s rehabilitation might have begun. Moreover, there is a certain irony in the same people who deride the idea that the art market determines an artwork’s value then pointing to market statistics as evidence that a particular artist’s work is worthless.
Perhaps, regardless of which explanation is more accurate, a collapse in the financial value of Hirst’s art is ultimately a positive thing. We can wait for the commercial golddust that has swirled up and obscured his work to settle. Then we can look again and decide, with a clearer vision, how much it actually affects us.

Dondi White

Born in: 2016

United States

Donald Joseph White, known as Dondi White, is an American street artist born in 1961 and died in 1998. Originally from Brooklyn in New York, he is one of the most influential artisst of urban art. He started tagging in the 70s, and joined the group The Crew TOP (the Odd Partners) in 1977. In contact with the artists from Crew, his art developed and evolved. A year later, Dondi White decided to form his own group, the CIA (Crazy Inside Artists).

Known for his skills in lettering, he has influenced a whole generation of artists. The resurgence of catholic education that he received from his parents during his youth can also be perceived in his work.

Dondi's work acquired new notoriety when photographs of his pieces appeared in the New York Post. In 1980, he joined the public administration while continuing to tag. In 1982, a gallery the East Village, which was very popular back then, dedicated to Dondi White his first solo exhibition.

In California, Dondi exhibited his work besides artists such as Futura and Zephyr in 1982. Several projects followed and three months later, they found themselves in Hong Kong to paint 10,000 square meters of a new nightclub. Dondi acquired thus international fame : he was the first street artist to be the subject of a solo exhibition in Germany and in the Netherlands in 1983.
His style evolved towards pieces with bluish tonalities, collages covered with ink and pen.

During the 90s, a first retrospective was dedicated to him at the Rempire Gallery of Soho. He was also part of the "Fifteen Years Above Ground" exhibition organized by artist CRASH. He died from complications of AIDS in 1998.

Arvo Pärt to receive German Music Authors’ Prize

The German Music Authors’ Prizes (Deutscher Musikautorenpreis) were awarded at a gala event in Berlin tonight to recognise composers and lyricists for their outstanding creative work. Arvo Pärt was awarded the prize in the category of Choral Music.

The German Music Authors’ Prize has been awarded by the German Society for Musical Performing and Mechanical Reproduction Rights, GEMA (die Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte) since 2009 to creative members of the organisation. The jury selected from among GEMA members awards the prize in ten categories representing different musical genres, including a Lifetime Achievement Award which was this year received by the German composer and essayist Wolfgang Rihm. With the prize, composers recognise each other’s creative work, and as a ‘prize from colleagues’ it bears the motto, Authors Recognising Authors. The purpose of the prize is also to highlight the cultural significance of creative activity in general.

Arvo Pärt: “On receiving the German Music Authors’ Prize, I am deeply indebted and grateful to all the musicians who have breathed life into my music.”

In 1980, Arvo Pärt and his family were forced to emigrate from Soviet Estonia. Having initially settled in Vienna, the composer moved with the support of the German DAAD scholarship to Berlin a year later, where he lived for nearly 30 years. Arvo Pärt has been a member of the German authors’ society, GEMA since 1983.

All nominees and laureates are also accepted as members of the German Academy of Music Authors, whose task it is to select a jury of music authors every year.

Chinese firm Sinopec to open first petrol kiosk In Yishun; rumoured to acquire some Shell stations

Chinese firm Sinopec to open first petrol kiosk In Yishun; rumoured to acquire some Shell stations
PHOTO: The Straits Times

Sinopec is the second Chinese firm after PetroChina to enter the multibillion-dollar fuel retail market in Singapore.

The company had bought a 1,689 square-metre land plot in Yishun Avenue 1 for $42.5 million in February last year to build its first petrol kiosk.

The Yishun petrol kiosk will feature a car wash and a convenience store, and is slated to open this quarter.

It has also secured a second land plot in Bukit Timah Road, reportedly for around $45 million.

The site was previously occupied by Singapore Petroleum Co, which is owned by rival PetroChina.

According to The Straits Times, Sinopec is sourcing its fuels from Shell, with which it has a close working relationship in China.

In 2004, the two companies had partnered to open 500 refuelling stations in China.

Speculations have arose stating that Shell will sell or lease some its Singapore kiosks to Sinopec.

Shell’s petrol kiosks in Singapore has shrunk by more than 20 per cent in the last 15 years to a network of 57 kiosks today.

Its number of refuelling stations have also fallen from a peak of over 220 to around 170.

Moreover, after Shell ended its 11-year partnership with retail operator 7-Eleven last year, Shell reverted to its own Shell Select store brand.

However, even after over a year, stores at some stations still seems like it’s undergoing a transitional phase, with unlit signages and bare fluorescent in-store lighting.

An anonymous industry source told The Straits Times that these are the stations that will be sold to Sinopec.

In response to this, a Shell spokesperson simply said that the company will not comment on rumours.
