Vtg Antique Cast Brass Metal 3 Light Sconce Fixture Victorian Art Nouveau Deco For SaleThis antique fixture was an estate sale find. It looks and tests to be brass, but I am not a brass expert! It is cast metal for sure! It has 3 lights. The sockets do look as if they have been replaced at some point.The arms are bolted on and will adjust/straighten up. This is pretty heavy, about 4.5 pounds. I did NOT try this, so it is possible it needs wiring, although the wiring is there and as I said, the sockets do look newer. This is missing a few of the little screws that hold the shades on (also missing). I will look to see if I have any that fit. This is about 20" long and 8" tall. Extends out from wall about 7.5". This may be missing some small pieces. What you see is what you get in the pics! :) It looks as if there may have been a switch in the center part at one time to me. There also is a little paint on the edges, but not too much. I did not clean this up, since I don't want to hurt the patina so many people want! Wasn't sure if this was nouveau or deco :/thanks for looking :)

BMT Scientific Marine Services Inc (BMT) has been awarded a contract from SBM Offshore to provide an Integrated Marine Monitoring System (IMMS) for the Stones Floating Production Storage Offshore (FPSO) in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
The IMMS monitors, logs and displays data in real-time to provide operational support functionality and archives data for assessing the facility's integrity over time. The Stones IMMS is comprised of a set of subsystems including environmental and facility monitoring, mooring line monitoring, and subsea acoustic monitoring of the disconnectable turret buoy. The IMMS interfaces with other platform control systems and uses BMT's proprietary data acquisition system along with custom HMI user display screens.
Having previously provided a similar system to the Cascade Chinook field development, the first deep water FPSO in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, BMT has experience delivering other similar projects involving various combinations of mooring line monitoring systems, acoustic positioning, subsea motions measurement and integrated monitoring packages.

While The Ultimate Warrior was in Los Angeles for WWE 2K14 business over SummerSlam weekend, he reportedly met with Vince McMahon. No word yet on what was discussed or how the meeting went.
As we reported before, there is still no deal between The Ultimate Warrior and WWE but it's said Warrior is more open to having a deal with them than he has been in the past. There continues to be talk about Warrior getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame during WrestleMania XXX weekend.
Last month, Vince McMahon tweeted Warrrior a "Welcome Back" message when it was revealed that Warrior had agreed to take part in WWE 2K14. The Ultimate Warrior responded to Vince McMahon's tweet with the cryptic statement below:
@VinceMcMahon Vince, thank you for your personal welcome back to the WWE Universe. It is noted and appreciated. All the Warriors of Parts Unknown take pride in being one of the original galaxies of the Universe you created. Not one of my days has passed without a flashback to my time in the business and my relationship with you. After 17 years of battling one another, perhaps the stars have finally aligned and Destiny is prepared to tell one of Sports Entertainment's greatest stories: how two of the industry's most determined, colorful, intense and explosive personalities brought to life a persona that made such an inspiring impression that it still captures the hearts and minds of fans all over the world, even all these years later. I am proud Ultimate Warrior is an iconic, immortal spirit in the Universe you created. I know, Vince McMahon, you are proud, too. The inhabitants of your WWE Universe believe your personal welcome is an invitation of sorts. If so, consider this my RSVP with one condition. Wisdom takes a seat at the table with us when we meet, but we each also leave unburied a slight edge of the hatchet we've carried over the years. that other gutless and heartless God-fearing men urge us to lay to rest forever. Face it, neither one of us were ever any good at being bored or boring others. So coming prepared to kill one another makes for a interesting backup plan. Always Believe, Warrior

CHEVY CHASE, Md., Aug. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ritz-Carlton App wants to be a part of your total travel experience, bringing the legendary service of the luxury hotel company to the smartphone in your pocket. In addition to mobile check-in and check-out, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company is launching real-time service requests, food and beverage ordering, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards account review, folio review, and access to exclusive local content, concierge tips and offers at all hotels. The updated app is available for immediate download by visiting www.ritzcarlton.com/app
Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140818/136808
The Ritz-Carlton conducted extensive research with global affluent consumers, and studied user preferences since the initial launch of the App in 2012 to ensure the next phase of mobile enhances global travel. Digital services will provide consumers with touch points to truly enrich their journey from the time of trip planning through to their return. The Ritz-Carlton sees the opportunity to connect more closely with guests through advanced mobile functionality and also at an emotional level, as it continues to create content to better serve a global traveler today, providing options for guests to communicate based on their preferences.
On October 1 the App is scheduled to launch a new shareable Travel Poster feature, where guests will be able to curate their own images with special filters, titles and stamps to create retro-style travel posters to capture their memories. They will then be able to share their posters across social media channels, or save them to a personal on-device camera roll, enabling them to store the travel memory forever.
"The Ritz-Carlton is known for one-to-one personalized service, and the development of our App enables us to deliver that service efficiently, and also dedicate additional time to anticipate guest needs that are often unexpressed and attend to the all-important details," shared Ed French, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for The Ritz-Carlton. "We also placed great importance on extending our travel knowledge and expertise to users to ensure we are launching an App they will find worth keeping on their device beyond a stay at one of our hotels. An abundance of travel tips and recommendations are also available for each destination where we have a hotel."
Quick View of The Ritz-Carlton App Enhancements:
- Check-In, Check-Out
- Real-Time Service Requests
- Folio Review
- Exclusive local content and offers at all hotels
- Mobile food and beverage ordering at select hotels
- Shareable Travel Posters (launching October 1)
The Ritz-Carlton App is available to all; the new mobile guest services are available to The Ritz-Carlton Rewards and Marriott Rewards members which are loyalty programs with complimentary membership. The App enhancements are live today in the Americas, and will be added to all remaining global continents throughout the year, beginning with the Middle East at the end of September.
"We are already piloting the next phase of App service features at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, with pool-side food and beverage orders available at the Florida resort. Now, instead of calling over a Ritz-Carlton Lady or Gentleman to take your order, you can simply tap in your request, and we'll start making your drink and head your way. Reducing three trips between you and the bar to execute that order to a single trip both gets your order to you faster, and leaves us more time to engage and focus on your total experience," added French.

HEISMAN TALK: In N.Y., Steve Zipay, on Charles Woodson winning the Heisman Trophy and ESPN's coverage of the event: "You have to wonder how embarrassed ESPN was after airing an hour-long special Friday night: 'Peyton Manning: All Access Granted.'" An ESPN spokesperson: "It was a long-range call, we didn't just whip it up on Thursday. We made the decision at the beginning of the season to follow around a big name and do a diary" (NEWSDAY, 12/16). NOTES: NBC's Steelers-Patriots game Saturday drew a 41.3/67 rating in Pittsburgh and a 32.6/58 rating in Boston (BOSTON GLOBE, 12/16)....In N.Y., Saturday's Redskins-Giants generated a local rating of 16.7. Fox's Bucs-Jets game on Sunday earned a 19.7 local rating (N.Y. TIMES, 12/16). ...Going into this week, ABC's "MNF" was averaging a 14.8, "not drastically lower than the 16.4 of a year ago." In Denver, Todd Phipers writes that ABC should get a ratings boost with the Broncos-49ers game and the Pats-Dolphins finale, both with playoff implications (DENVER POST, 12/16).

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Ness Ziona Tel Aviv
Travel Blogs from Tel Aviv
Welcome To The Promised Land!
At 11:00pm Israeli time we finally arrived at Ben Gurion airport! We spent the last 10 minutes of the flight watching as the lights on the coast (Haifa, Netanya and Tel Aviv) got closer and closer, until we were almost skimming the roofs of the randomly placed skyscrapers of Tel Aviv. It doesn't take long for the coast to dissappear and the wheels to be bumping along on the tarmac of the runway. Although we were exhausted and dischevelled we had a spring ...
A bit of self reflection
... a grey cloud floating over the heads of a lot of Israeli's today. It reminded me of how I felt when George W. Bush got elected for a second term. I think it's funny how in America and Israel, when an election doesn't go the way people want it to, they say they're moving out of the country. There's always going to be that other half that want to flee the country after the opposing candidate wins. I guess all there is to do now is see ...
Zev Ben Aryeh & Concepts of Spatial Holiness
... institutionalized out of Christian piety, or bigotry, the Muslim conqueror of Jerusalem reversed. It is not surprising that, in general, Jews and other minorities in Byzantine territories usually assisted the invading Arab armies.
There is a minor mystery about the location of two of the Islamic towers in Jerusalem, those of the Mosque of Omar, located right next to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Mosque of Saladin. These two minarets seem out ...
A day in Jerusalem

Another walk through the old city took us to the Wailing Wall. There is a separate entrance for women and one for the men. The women's bit is the smallest. You can write a wish or prayer or a note and place it in a crack in the wall as I duly did and hope it comes true.
Our next stop was a church built on the site of the Last Supper and this was also very close ...

"If you have a 4-8 people looking for a beautiful water view in the PNW then you'll absolutely love this place on Sandy Point. We had a team of couples participating in Ski to Sea stay here and we couldn't have chosen better accommodations. There's a huge deck for grilling and chilling that looks out over the San Juans, with a path that leads to a quiet public beach. The kitchen/dining/living area are ideal for group interaction. The owners made the stay easy by providing all the information we needed to make ourselves at home and the house itself was pristine upon our arrival. I highly recommend this property."Guest: Nathan P. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 28, 2015View listing
"My husband and I decided to go away for Valentine's weekend spur of the moment. I contacted Don, the owner, 2 weeks before and he responded quickly and got us all set up. We spent 3 lovely nights in the home. The accommodations were perfect. I loved the window seat that over looked the water, the amazing views from the kitchen, great room and opening my eyes each morning to the view in the master bedroom. We walked the beach and took the 10 min ferry to Lummi Island which was just minutes from the house. We were fortunate to have beautiful, sunny weather and also got to experience the fog roll in and out.This is a fabulous place to relax. And if you like to cook the kitchen is all set up for it. If this place accepted dogs we would come here regularly."Guest: Kris & Alex Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 24, 2015View listing
"Absolutely could not ask for a better experience. We were looking for a home away from home and found it. The owners go above and beyond for their clients -- they have provided a cozy lakeside cottage that is well stocked and they do so with professionalism and decorum. Cottage was clean, comfortable and convenient with fantastic amenities and a stunning view. The grill provided was used almost daily and the wildlife / nature experiences were amazing."Guest: Tisha K. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 27, 2015View listing
"My wife and I were looking for a place to get away for the weekend. A little shopping, kayaking and somewhere with lots of restaurant choices. Howard's hideaway was just the right place. Only half an hour from the border. We were very comfortable and in awe of the natural scenery. We had a wonderful time. Thanks very much."Guest: Lee M.

SpongeBob yelled as he gripped the bars. Ow! he shouted in pain as the lasers turn on, burning his hands.Think again. DarkEvil said with his hands on the switch.

Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Caine Will Star in Harry and the ButlerEthan Miller/Getty Images
Stage director George C. Wolfe (Tom Hanks's Lucky Guy, 1996's Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk) is about to present us with a film with great potential for specialness. Titled Harry and the Butler and loosely based on a Danish movie from 50 years ago, it has little or nothing to do with Lee Daniels' The Butler. But — but! THR reports this one will star Samuel L. Jackson as "a derelict roller coaster mechanic and one-time jazz virtuoso who lives in a converted train caboose in New Orleans" and Michael Caine as the "down-on-his-luck British butler" Jackson hires after inheriting a bunch of money and getting sloshed.
Yes. Yes to all these developments. Also, I'm curious how Jackson actually goes about hiring Caine. Is there a butler-oriented Craigslist-type site? Has Caine buttled his way to New Orleans, where he, too, is pickling himself in booze and memories of better days? Will it end with a direct flip of bad, old slavery movies and/or Aladdin, with Jackson's kind heart leading him to free Caine in the end?
It's worth noting that this casting comes a few days after Last Vegas and its similarly aged stars cracked the top three at the box office with $16.3 million. Morgan Freeman and Anthony Hopkins were attached to Harry and the Butler at one point, so even if it's a bomb and a disappointment, you'll be able to imagine that alternate casting as you watch. Wolfe, in addition to his stage work, has directed Nights in Rodanthe and HBO's Emmy-nominated Lackawanna Blues.

Abstract: In this study, the antibacterial activity and mechanism of action of chlorogenic acid against bacteria were assessed. The data from minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values showed that chlorogenic acid effectively inhibited the growth of all tested bacterial pathogens, and the MIC values were ranging from 20 to 80 μg/mL. An investigation into action mode of chlorogenic acid against the pathogen indicated that chlorogenic acid significantly increased the outer and plasma membrane permeability, resulting in the loss of the barrier function, even inducing slight leakage of nucleotide. The leakage of cytoplasmic contents was also observed by electron micrographs. These results supported our hypothesis that chlorogenic acid bound to the outer membrane, disrupted the membrane, exhausted the intracellular potential, and released cytoplasm macromolecules, which led to cell death.

Silicon Valley to remain innovation hub; Tier 2 cities in US to gain traction
Zinnov, a leading Market Expansion and Globalization Advisory firm, today released "Talent Outlook 2013", a report that highlights a paradigm shift in HR trends this year. The survey revealed that 2013 will be a year of skill and talent reconciliation, even as new skill sets are brought to focus and HR is challenged to implement strategic planning within the organization. Zinnov is hosting a thought leadership summit "Confluence 2013" to deliberate and brainstorm on the findings of the study.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130213/594614 )
Key Findings
- Organizations believe 25% of their current talent will become redundant in the next 3-5 years, while specialized skill sets in User Experience and Mobility see rising demand
- Hiring for Innovation will primarily be in the United States
- Tier II locations in the United States will be a key focus area for organizations looking to expand, while India and China will witness marginal growth
The Silicon Valley continues to be an innovation hub, with 80% of respondents to the Zinnov survey indicating that their organizations' headcount will increase the highest in this region. Respondents also revealed that 36% of their innovation, on average, would be driven in the Valley, with other US cities such as Seattle, Maryland, Dallas and Boston accounting for 18%. India ranked third as potential innovation region, with organizations revealing that 15% of innovation is expected out of the country, followed by EMEA at 10%.
Commenting on the study, Vamsee Tirukkala, Managing Principal, Zinnov, said, "Data scientists and user experience designers will witness very high demand, while mobile application developers and cloud computing experts will witness moderate to high demand. Significantly, all these skills were non-existent a decade ago. Organizations are also expected to increase their focus on soft skill development across levels and functions."
The released study brought to light that organizations are seeking talent with skills in the areas of Engineering (50% of respondents indicated that it would be among the top 3 skills of the future), followed by Analytics skills (40%) such as Big Data, Predictive Modelling, HR Analytics, and Mobility (32%).
The biggest talent challenges that organizations face are in the areas of niche hiring and skill set assessment, with 50% of respondents suggesting that these would be key focus areas for HR in 2013. While dedicated statistical teams within HR departments can reduce challenges around skill set assessment, large volume data analysis and workforce planning, over half the organizations do not have such resources and just 20% are focused on it for 2013.
Zinnov is hosting a thought leadership summit "Confluence 2013" to deliberate and brainstorm on the findings of the study. There are over 30 eminent speakers sharing their thoughts in the summit with over 400+ delegates attending the event from the industry. Topics for the summit include global innovation, building charters & COE, future of global R&D, next wave of technology hubs & building global talent in today's dynamic technology environment.
About The Survey
For "Talent Outlook 2013", Zinnov surveyed individuals in various HR functions across 40 global organizations, with 83% employing over 1,000 technology professionals. Organizations from across locations were profiled, including those headquartered in the United States, followed by the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Japan and Singapore. 89% of respondents were focused on technology domains such as semiconductor, software, telecom & networking, storage and internet.

In the midst of the widespread popularity and adoption of cloud computing, it seems like everything is being offered "as a Service" these days: Infrastructure? Check. Platform? You bet. Software? Absolutely. Toaster? It's only a matter of time.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Pacific Pearl Cruise Review by cruiseykev: Fantastic value for money

Fantastic value for money
This was our first cruise (The Bounty Discovery May 2011) and I am very pleased to say it won't be our last, we enjoyed everything this ship and it's crew had to offer, we ate exclusively at the waterfront restaurant, it was very pleasantly decorated, clean, light and buzzing with activity from the dozens of friendly waiters and waitresses, we loved it, plenty of selection on the menu with daily specials to tempt you to eat to much all the time.
We attended all of the shows, much better standard than we imagined they would be, and the comedy shows i.e. The Liars club and Celebrity Heads with Peter Byrne were hilarious we haven't laughed so much for years.
Plenty of other things to do, in fact we had to plan our day around the various activities I.E. Scrabble club for wife, Cocktail mixing course for me, wine tasting, lectures, Trivia competitions etc etc.
Unfortunately we couldn't disembark at Norfolk Island due to a big swell but did a circumnavigation of the More island with a commentary from the bridge by the local shore agent.
Noumea we did our own thing and took the local bus to the beaches, enjoying saying Bonjour to the little children.
Lifou was lovely snorkeled and had a cold beer on the beach, turning around to see the ship anchored in that deep blue pacific ocean was a site to behold.
We struck lucky in Vila capitol of Vanuatu, the down town area wasn't much to see other than the market, we managed to get across to Iririki resort ( Free Ferry )and enjoy there infinity pool some lunch and more cold beer fantastic.
Next and last stop was Mystery island, what a delightful place, white white beaches, snorkeling, market, crayfish to buy, friendly natives, and all on a tiny island flanked by a lagoon and coral reef just like the postcards.
Unfortunately it was back to Auckland after that.
The only negative comments I have to make is everything is priced in Australian dollars so 20% more expensive than they appear and a coin dispenser for the laundry would help ( who carries Aussie coins around on them in New Zealand )if you don't have any you have to queue at reception to get some, an even better idea would be to have the laundry free!
Not wanting to end on a negative note we enjoyed everything about this cruise and when you think the cost was about NZ$500 pr day for two this included your accommodation, all meals, shows etc we would go again tomorrow. Less

I'm a Mother, Not the CEO of My Household
By HaleyStewart on October 14, 2013
The other day I was taking a walk with my almost two-year-old, Lucy, while wearing a sleeping Baby Gwen. The September sky was deep blue through the pines and the wind was blowing away the corners of the oppressive blanket of Florida heat. Lucy was carefully choosing spots to sit down on the nature trail and let the sand run through her fingers. She found leaves, flowers, and butterflies and asked me about them. Sometimes she would just breathe deep and smile.
But you know what I was doing? I was crossing things off of a mental checklist of parenting productivity. "Every minute needs to count for something," my brain was telling me.
Outside Time -- sensory experience, good for brain development. Check!
Nature Study -- early learning about botany and zoology. Check!
Exercise -- crucial for childhood health. Check!
And it felt so wrong. "Why am I trying to account for every minute? Why am I viewing motherhood as one big checklist? I don't want to be like this," I thought.
I've been pondering this for the past few days. Why this shift in how I view mothering? Why this pressure?
Then I read this fabulous article by a professor from my alma mater that helped me sort out my confusion about my perspective.
There's a strain of thinking about homemaking that comes from the misconception that mothering should be treated like a professional career. But mothering is incredibly different and being a stay-at-home mom after performance-based academic study was a huge adjustment for me. There is no "end" to the project of motherhood, and no grade to bolster me.
I struggle with my "people pleaser" personality which thrived in an academic setting. I could re-read the complimentary notes a professor penned on the back of my most recent essay. Any negative feedback was black and white and offered a clear path to doing even better next time. I could swell with pride because so-and-so offered to write me a grad school recommendation. It all made me feel productive, special, important.
As you can see, it wasn't the best environment for my soul which might be why God intervened and moved me onto a different path after the birth of our son. (Let me be clear, academic life is a great path for some women and I applaud them for using their talents to do what God created them to pursue.)
But it's not just academia that has this sort of performance mentality. It's any career path, right? How much did you accomplish? How did you move forward? How productive was your day? How can you improve efficiency? And for those of us who step from one world to the other… it's confusing. I've always worked so hard to be the best. The best dancer getting the roles I wanted so badly, the best student becoming a national merit scholar and getting the full scholarship. You name it. I wanted to excel and succeed. And usually, I did.
But there's no award for being the best mother. You never achieve enough and the job is never done. Because mothering is an entirely different animal. And if I obsess over productivity and efficiency, I lose sight of the real point altogether.
If I feel discouraged because I didn't declutter that room, do the early learning homeschool craft, strip the cloth diapers, meal plan for the week, get new books from the library and return last week's, switch out the summer clothes with winter clothes, mop the floors, and do enough tummy time with the baby… maybe it's because I have the wrong perspective entirely. Mothering isn't about productivity.
If I get frustrated because it's taking forever to get three kids under the age of five into the car to the park and maybe if I'd only organized the items we need the way I saw it done on Pinterest or if I were only such-and-such blogger whose life seems so organized and if only the four-year-old wouldn't insist on wearing a sweater in the summer in Florida… maybe I'm missing the point. Because mothering isn't about efficiency.
Now there's a lot of good things that can help a household run more smoothly. Am I interested in those things? You bet. I'm not saying we should ignore the tasks before us and eat bon-bons on the couch.
But I'm not the CEO of our household and my children aren't little employees. I'm a mother and they are children and that entails a whole messy world of unproductive inefficiency. There's a place for productivity and efficiency… but they aren't virtues, they're just tools.

Philips, BofA Urge Climate Change Risk Commission
Philips, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Marks & Spencer are among 46 organizations to sign a statement asking the UK government to evaluate the risks of resource insecurity and climate change on economic growth.
The statement, organized by the Aldersgate Group, was sent with a letter to Dr. Steven Fries, chief economist at the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change. It says it supports the government chief economists' proposal to commission an independent review into the impacts of resource insecurity and climate change, which the signatories — businesses, trade groups and NGOs — say is already having a material impact on economic growth. About a third of profit warnings issued by FTSE 350 companies in 2011 were attributed to rising resource prices, the statement says.
It also cites a 2011 European e-Infrastructure Forum survey that found that for 80 percent of senior manufacturing executives, limited access to raw materials was already a business risk and a threat to growth. For one in three companies it was their top risk.
Other business signatories include grocery chains the Co-operative and Asda, carpet manufacturer Interface, specialty chemicals company Johnson Matthey, European home improvement retailer Kingfisher and news service Sky. The UK Green Building Council, the World Wildlife Fund and Friends of the Earth have also signed the statement.
In the US, just weeks after President Barack Obama announced plans to address climate change, eight more businesses have signed the Climate Declaration, which calls on US policymakers to address climate change as an economic opportunity.
The new signatories include leaders in the IT, healthcare, media, hospitality and consumer products sectors: Akamai Technologies, AMD, Dignity Health, K2 Sports, Participant Media, the Saunders Hotel Group, and The Weather Company. In addition, Mars, Incorporated, one of the nation's largest private companies, recently endorsed the Climate Declaration when it joined Ceres' BICEP (Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy) network in June.
By signing the Climate Declaration, these business leaders join more than 600 other companies, including Starbucks, Nestle, Adidas and Patagonia.

Telecom stocks put Footsie back on an even keel
Market Report
Saturday 16 January 1999
Footsie started the week at 6,147.2 points after touching a trading high on Friday. It then slumped 327 points as the Brazilian currency crisis roasted shares. But the road to Rio took a new twist yesterday as the Brazilian authorities decided to float the real and New York sighed with relief.
The blue-chip index surged 120.8 points to 5,941. At one time, in what was another busy and volatile session with share turnover topping 1.1bn, it was nursing an 83.4 decline.
The surprisingly confident end to the week did not extend to the under- card. It came too late for the mid and small-cap shares to play catch up. The mid -cap index ended with a 15.7 point fall at 4,857.1 and the small cap fell 7.6 to 2,100.1.
Telecoms helped the charge. Telewest Communications, the cable group, dialled a new high after targets were lifted. Warburg Dillon Read increased its price expectation to 260p and, not be outdone, Dresdner Kleinwort Benson moved to 290p. The shares rose 22.5p to 240.5p.
Cable & Wireless, driven by takeover rumours last week, put on 46p to 874p with Henderson Crosthwaite producing a 1,080p target, and Colt Telecom, last year's star market performer, rose 40p to 1,070p.
Vodafone firmed 17p to 1,068.5p, encouraged by the signing up of its 5 millionth customer and unruffled by talk that it may have to increase its bid for the US Airtouch Communications, which is thought to be around $55bn. It seems certain that Vodafone will face competition, with Bell Atlantic the most likely rival for the US mobile phone group.
Great Universal Stores, up 77p at 684p, continued to draw strength from its upbeat trading statement with CSFB and Warburg making positive noises. Even Marks & Spencer staged a modest recovery after Thursday's torturous performance, gaining 11.25p to 351.75p.
P&O, the shipping group, rose 9.5p to 617.5p as Merrill Lynch became more upbeat but lowered its profit expectations. Credit Lyonnais said the shares were oversold.
WH Smith, taking over Helicon in a pounds 6.5m cash deal, climbed to yet another peak, up 36.5p to 627.5p. The seemingly staid old group is now regarded as an Internet play and there is talk of US buying. Helicon, a print and electronic publisher, is seen as further evidence of Smith's Internet commitment. It jumped 36.5p to 100p.
The market's other Internet star, Dixons, was at one time down 37.5p. It then gained 16.5p before settling unchanged at 1,058.5p, equalling its peak.
Selfridges, the department store, firmed 5.5p to 221p as British Land moved into the market again, mopping up 3.6m shares, lifting its stake to 9.4 per cent.
Waters, after a period of calm, made a splash with the little York Waterworks declaring the presence of possible bidders. The shares rose 105p to 445p with the "A" shares up 95p at 425p. The bid talks are thought to involve Anglian Water, little changed at 788.5p, or Yorkshire Water, up 5.5p to 515.5p. Thames Water was 41p higher at 1,086p, and Severn Trent, with a little help from Merrill Lynch, gained 34p to 976p.
ScottishPower, flexing its takeover muscles in the US, put on 25.5p to 629p on talk that it could itself face a bid, perhaps from a US operation.
JBA, the computer group, crashed 140p to 50p. A year ago the shares were 1,257.5p. The latest fall stemmed from a warning that a "significant operating loss" was expected. Oxford Molecular was also spraying caution, forecasting a loss. The shares slumped 5p to 37.5p; they have been as high as 465.5p.
Fibernet, with a high-speed communications network, said it would be in profits this year but would not achieve "the rather aggressive market expectations". The shares lost 23p to 375.5p.
The GRE (Guardian Royal Exchange) rumours went the rounds again with the ever-hopefuls talking about an AXA deal on Monday. The shares improved 7.5p to 242.75p. And renewed suggestions of a deal lifted General Electric Co. 31p to 569.5p; British Aerospace rose 27.5p to 519p.

It is understood that all the activity has been in the market - the company says there has been no trading change since its shares were 16.5p. Two directors have sold shares to try to ease a liquidity problem.
FREEPAGES, the information group, firmed 2.25p to 18.5p as a large line of stock was cleared, seemingly by Cazenove.
The shares have come down from 49.5p but now the overhang has been removed they could go higher, particularly in view of the market's fascination with the Internet. The company has an Internet partnership with Microsoft.
