Desmosomes are cell-cell adhesive organelles with a well-known role in forming strong intercellular adhesion during embryogenesis and in adult tissues subject to mechanical stress such as the heart and skin. adhesion-dependent or impartial. This review focuses on recent discoveries that provide insights into the role of desmosomes and desmosome components in cell signaling and disease; wherever possible we address molecular functions within and outside of the adhesive structure. plasma membrane desmoglein desmocollin plakophilin plakoglobin desmoplakin intermediate filaments) Desmosomes are compromised in human diseases including genetic disorders leading to blistering diseases of the skin in cardiomyopathies and in some cancers. This review focuses on recent reports of desmosomal constituents in human disease and associated signaling mechanisms (Tables 1 and ?and22). Table 1 Desmosome regulation in disease as reported recently without molecular mechanisms (desmoplakin plakophilin plakoglobin desmoglein arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy) Table 2 Desmosome-related signaling pathways (desmoplakin plakophilin plakoglobin desmoglein desmocollin sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase isoform 2 end-binding 1 arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy … Desmosomal cadherins Desmosomal cadherins couple adjoining cells together through homo- and heterophilic interactions although the specifics of these molecular interactions are not well comprehended. In humans four desmogleins (Dsg1-4) and three desmocollins (Dsc1-3) have been detected which Csta are expressed in a tissue-and differentiation-dependent manner (Kowalczyk and Green 2013). Dsg2 and Dsc2 are the primary isoforms in simple epithelia Senkyunolide A and are present at low levels in the basal layer of stratified epithelia such as the epidermis (Garrod Senkyunolide A and Chidgey 2008). Dsg1/3 and Dsc1/3 are present in stratified epithelia and Dsg4 is found in stratified epithelia and hair (Garrod and Chidgey 2008; Brooke et al. 2012; Johnson et al. 2014). Desmosomal cadherins are important in regulating normal physiological processes such as epithelial morphogenesis and differentiation. Moreover their misregulation is usually associated with diseases of the skin hair heart and digestive tract and with cancer (Thomason et al. 2010). In skin epithelium Dsg1 expression increases in the suprabasal layers in which it plays a role in both normal epidermal differentiation and in skin diseases such as pemphigus foliaceus bullous impetigo staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome and striate palmoplantar keratoderma (Amagai and Stanley 2012). Dsg1 can support keratinocyte differentiation through the suppression of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway via epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and modulating the conversation of Erbin SHOC2 and Ras (Getsios et al. 2009; Harmon et al. 2013). These functions do not require the extracellular regions of Dsg1 that are needed for adhesion. In addition the receptor tyrosine kinase EphA2 in a ligand-dependent manner promotes entry of keratinocytes into a terminal differentiation pathway through a mechanism reliant on Dsg1 (Lin et al. 2010). Finally the RhoA GEF breakpoint cluster region (Bcr) has been Senkyunolide A shown to promote keratinocyte differentiation through the regulation of MAL/SRF signaling again in a manner that is dependent on Dsg1 (Dubash et al. 2013). Although progress has been made delineating the signaling pathways by which Dsg1 regulates physiological processes such as differentiation much less is known about the mechanism by which perturbation of Dsg1 leads to disease. Recent familial studies have identified two homozygous mutations in Dsg1 that lead to severe skin dermatitis multiple allergies and metabolic wasting (SAM) syndrome (Samuelov et al. 2013; Senkyunolide A Has et al. 2015). One mutation led to a loss of Dsg1 expression and was associated with an apparently more severe phenotype. The other mutation occurred within the Dsg1 signal peptide and resulted in cytoplasmic mislocalization of the protein. Differences in the observed phenotypic severity raise the possibility that this non-junctional Dsg1 could still be partially functional conceivably through signaling outside of the adhesive plaque. This condition is also associated with an increase in cytokine expression and points to a role for Dsg1 in regulating skin allergies in addition to.

Rationale Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between extracellular glutamate concentration
Rationale Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between extracellular glutamate concentration in the mesolimbic reward pathway and alcohol craving. (100 mg/kg) two-day and five day resulted in about five-fold reduction in ethanol intake by P rats. The reduction in ethanol intake was associated with significantly enhanced expression of GLT1 GLT1a GLT1b and xCT in the NAc and PFC of five-day ceftriaxone treated P rats. Two-day treated P rats showed marked Senkyunolide A changes in expression of these glutamate transporters in the PFC but not in the NAc. Importantly ceftriaxone treated P rats (two-day and five-day) exhibited enhanced phosphorylation of Akt and nuclear translocation of NFκB in the NAc and PFC compared to control animals. Conclusions These findings demonstrate that ceftriaxone treatment induced upregulation of GLT1 GLT1 isoforms and xCT in association with activation of Akt-NFκB signaling pathway. studies have confirmed that GLT1 upregulation may be mediated in part by Akt phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappaB (NFκB) (Lee et al. 2008) we investigated the occurrence of these changes in ceftriaxone-treated P rats. Expression of phospho-Akt/total-Akt nuclear translocation of NFκB and cytoplasmic levels of IkBa following ceftriaxone treatment were decided. Furthermore xCT and GLAST protein levels were decided in the PFC Senkyunolide A and NAc of saline- and ceftriaxone-treated P rats. Studies have shown that five-day treatment with ceftriaxone upregulated GLT1 expression in the Senkyunolide A mesocorticolimbic pathway (Miller et al. 2008; Rothstein et al. 2005; Sari et al. 2011; Sari et al. 2009) and hence this treatment period was chosen for this study. Importantly to observe the onset of effects of ceftriaxone treatment on GLT1 expression and to establish the timeline for associated pathway changes two-day as well as five-day treatment regimens were included in this study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Animals Male P rats were obtained from the Indiana School of Medicine (Indianapolis IN) breeding colonies. Animals were single-housed in solid wood chip-bedded plastic Senkyunolide A cages in a heat (21°C) and humidity (50%) controlled environment on a 12/12-hour light/dark cycle. Animal protocol employed for this study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of The University of Toledo Health Science Campus Toledo OH. Protocols were based on the guidelines set Senkyunolide A forth by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the National Institutes of Health and the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Animals had access to food and water throughout the duration of the study. At the age of three months P rats were divided into four groups: 1) Two-day saline vehicle-treated group (n=7); 2) Two-day ceftriaxone (100 mg/kg i.p.) treated group (n=7); 3) Five-day saline vehicle-treated group (n=8); and 4) Five-day ceftriaxone (100 mg/kg i.p.) treated group (n=8). Ceftriaxone was administered as a solution made in physiological saline. Ethanol consumption For the duration of study P rats had free access to two concentrations of ethanol 15 and 30% in distilled water. Animals were provided free choice to ethanol for five consecutive weeks before the start of treatment. This model of ethanol drinking consisting of multiple choices of ethanol concentrations (15% and 30%) is known to increase ethanol intake in P rats (Rodd-Henricks et al. 2001; Sari et al. 2006). During the last two weeks before treatment (Week 4 and Week 5) ethanol intake water consumption and body weight of all animals Senkyunolide A were measured three times per week (Monday Wednesday and Friday). Data measurements during these two weeks served as baseline values. As reported in other studies from our lab ethanol measurements were taken to the nearest tenth of a gram by subtraction of the weight of the bottle from its previous Rabbit polyclonal to ZNHIT1.ZNHIT1 (zinc finger, HIT-type containing 1), also known as CG1I (cyclin-G1-binding protein 1),p18 hamlet or ZNFN4A1 (zinc finger protein subfamily 4A member 1), is a 154 amino acid proteinthat plays a role in the induction of p53-mediated apoptosis. A member of the ZNHIT1 family,ZNHIT1 contains one HIT-type zinc finger and interacts with p38. ZNHIT1 undergoespost-translational phosphorylation and is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 7,which houses over 1,000 genes and comprises nearly 5% of the human genome. Chromosome 7 hasbeen linked to Osteogenesis imperfecta, Pendred syndrome, Lissencephaly, Citrullinemia andShwachman-Diamond syndrome. The deletion of a portion of the q arm of chromosome 7 isassociated with Williams-Beuren syndrome, a condition characterized by mild mental retardation, anunusual comfort and friendliness with strangers and an elfin appearance. weight. Importantly animals with a baseline ethanol intake of less than 4 g/day were not included in this study and they were subsequently euthanized. After five weeks of exposure to ethanol P rats were treated i.p. once daily with ceftriaxone (100 mg/kg) or saline for either two days or five days depending on their assigned groups. Following the start of treatment P rats were monitored once daily for consumption of ethanol and water. The time.

I feel like a kid in a candy shop!!! I got the shipment from Catskills Cellars today and have already tried the REd'AB! (Sorry Joe! Had to! ) I see what is meant in the review that the louche is thin, but it has a great flavor! (My wife took it away from me and added sugar to it and is even now sipping it while she work on my Steampunk outfit . . .) Next I'll try Delaware Phoenix's Meadow of Love and then Walton Waters! I think I'll save the La Clandestine until tomorrow night though . . . I think by the time I'm done tonight my taste buds will be in shock!
Absinthe coffee
Maredudd replied to Ron's topic in The MarketOr, I could some real absinthe to my coffee! I think the blanche works a little better than the verte. Hmmm, I may have to try that . . . and I have some blanche on the way!
Maredudd replied to crow's topic in Absinthe Brand DiscussionThis thread speaks to the issue as of October, sort of. I to am waiting, but in the mean time, I'm trying a few other makers . . . :-)
Hi Folks! I am making progress on my plans for the absinthe tasting parlor this coming weekend. Today I picked up my fountain.
Greetings from the Space Coast
Maredudd replied to Maredudd's topic in Newcomer IntroductionsAs I've posted before in this thread I started out with Lucid, because it's the only thing available locally that had a decent review here. Or rather that the review said it was ok. I then ordered Pacifique Verte and Ridge Verte from DringUpNY and liked both of them. My wife actually likes the Ridge best so far, but the other two are also nice. This morning I ordered four new bottles from Catskill Cellars with some little hope that the bottles get here before New Years, thianks to the wonderful folks at Caskills Cellars! So I will soon add La Clandestine, Ridge Blanch, Walton Waters and Meadow of Love to my collection. Looking forward to it!
DOH! I should have thought of that! Lets see if this works! Proposed Absinthe Tasting Glasses I used a vintage shot glass to measure the Ridge Extrait d' Absinthe Verte. (I don't have a Pontarlier glass yet.) I mixed it approximately 4-to-1 without sugar, not that it really matters, and then measured 1 oz, using the shot glass again, into each of the three tasting glasses.
Is there a way to upload an image directly to the forum? I took a picture of three of the small glasses I'm considering for use during the party and want to post it here, especially as I said I would! :-)
Forewarned is for-armed! :-) I have run across a few folks who asked the same question, and at least one who thought it tasted terrible . . . :-) Thanks again! To everyone!
Alan and Crow! Good thought. I'll look into that and see about adding it to the program!
Hi Scott! I have so far talked about using a small carafe but I have also been considering using an actual absinthe glass. I don't currently have any so it is something will need to pick up. I have found them fairly inexpensively on a few sites and will likely order a few in the next week. For those that like what they taste, I will most certainly encourage them to prepare their own! :-) And that is never a bad thing! :-)
Hi Fingerpickinblue! Thanks for your input! Something like that is what I am leaning towards. I'll post some pics later. I think my wife might want to help but I'm not certain that would actually help. She's ADHD and would end up talking more everyone else than helping in the preparation. Fortunately, I can multitask faily well and have some experience in answering questions while performing the tasks required to prepare the absinthe. I also plan on restricting the tasters to no more than four seated at a time, so that will limit how many folks can ask questions. I will have someone on duty to keep the looky-loos from popping in to 'get a drink'. Yep! Planned on it! I will have a carafe for each type being tasted and will prepare a new batch for each group. I actually like this approach! I'll bring a report back after the affair! :-)
Thanks for mentioning it! I'll find someone to tag for pictures! That way I can focus on the tasting! :-)
Hi Joe! I think my next party will follow that model as it will certainly be in my home with a lot fewer folks in attendance. The theme there will certainly be that of a relaxing evening with friends, none of which have ever had absinthe! :-) This first one, and it may yet not happen, i will be taking place, for all intents and purposes, in the middle of a wild New Years party! Being Steampunk themed, there will certainly be folks there who will desire to portray the very model of the Victorian Gentleman or Woman, but then they may all be airship mechanics on leave for the holiday! :-)
This is why I like the mini brandy sniffers. They provide a wider opening than the other glasses I've looked at so far, and have the added advantage that the belly of the glass is wider even then the opening allowing more surface area for the aroma to escape.
Hi Evan! Thank you, and everyone else, very much for taking the time to answer my post. I am taking it all in and will end up with what I know will be a much better experience for all of the folks who stop by the parlor! :-) I am planning on adding at least that one, even if it is the only other one. That way I have a non-verte. My wife wants me to find one of the red absinthes . . . Good point. I was already planning on taking a stack of copies of the absinthe flyer available on this site. I will likely also re-familiarize myself with the FAQ, as it will likel contain many of the questions I expect I'll get. That is my plan. I will have a carafe for each absinthe I will be serving and will produce one 'glass' for each group of tasters. That glass will then be shared between those seated by pouring something less than an ounce of each absinthe for each taster, going through them one at a time. I'll post some pics of the ones I'm thinking of. My wife favors a tulip shaped glass (3oz) and I prefer a mini brandy sniffer (3oz). I'm still looking though . . . This is something I hadn't really thought of yet. I'll cogitate over it! That might be a problem. I know the space I will be allowed and, though its not real tight, it is a little restrictive in walking space. I might try to bring in a short table, a la coffee table, and use it as the work surface, allowing those around the table to see, and freely talk to each other. Yeah. I'll provide something, even if it is a pre-printed pamphlet with each absinth listed and space to write notes.
Hi Miguel! I had been thinking about using cheese as I have seen it used for wine tasting parties, but I take your point. As for the sugar, I keep flipping back and forth. I don't take my absinthe sweetened myself.
Hi Baubel! If I end up picking up Jade it will be more for me as opposed for the tasting party, though I would likely also include it as well in the party. I'm doing a bit of tasting on my own and as I have yet to meet anyone else near me that is a fan of absinthe my only chance to try other producer's stock is to buy it myself . . . :-) All of the glasses I picked up to experiment with are clear glasses. I'll try to take some pics and post them.
Absinthe Tasting Party Inquiry
Maredudd posted a topic in General Absinthe DiscussionGreetings Folks! It looks like I will be hosting an Absinthe Tasting Parlor at an upcoming gathering so I have been contemplating how best to implement it and would like everyone's thoughts. I currently have three brands available and plan on picking up at least one more, and maybe two beyond that. I am planning on sitting four folks at a time in an area set aside and separated by curtains to keep out the general revelry going on around us. You see, this will be taking place over New Years weekend at an SCA event where the Steampunks of the group have been given permission to commandeer the hall and throw a Steampunk Ball. Once the tasters are seated I will begin. My general process will be to mix a glass, using a small carafe, of each brand available, with a 4 to 1 ration of water to ansinthe and including sugar, demonstrating the louch and the olfactory presence of each brand. I will then, one brand at a time, pour no more than an ounce into a small glass, one each per taster, and will let them taste it. I will then repeat the mixing, pouring and tasting for each of the other brands available. Once all brands have been tasted I'll close that particular round and prepare for the next. Now for some specific question: 1) I currently have Lucid, Pacifique Verte and Ridge Verte. I want to get Jade NO, but that's rather expensive, but I'm also interested in Ridge Blanche. What others would you folks recommend? 2) When beginning, what kind of intro would you folks recommend? I have no problem trying to educate the tasters, as I suspect many of them will have no clue that absinthe is even legal for consumption, but what do you folks feel would be appropriate? 3) How does the actual tasting part sound? Does it flow well, especially considering that I am breaking up the initial mixing to demonstrate the louch and the actual tasting? How would you change it if you were doing it? How would you like it to run if you were one of the tasters? 4) What kind of glasses should I use for the tasting? I picked up a few small glasses today to try out. One is a tulip shaped tumbler, one is a small pilsner glass, and the third is a small brandy sniffer. All of them hold three ounces or less. 5) I have also picked up a small carafe, that holds 8oz, to mix the absinthe in though I'm thinking I might need to pick up a number of Ponterlier glasses so that the experience is as close to ideal as I can. What do you guys think? 6) How would you recommend I close each round? 7) I'm also thinking about having something available to write some of their thoughts for each absinthe tasted. Good idea? Bad? I am currently looking at an apothecary jar, that I found at World Market, as a ice-water dispenser. its cheap and looks good, though I may need to swap out the spigot for a beefier one. I look forward to your comments and thoughts!
Ridge Verte!

Maredudd replied to odiedog52's topic in Absinthe In The MediaJust in time! Now that the Ridge and Pacifique have arrived I've got an urge to do a tasting! Now, I can imagine how I would do it, it would be good to find out how others would do it! Maredudd
Ok, guess what I'm drink'n second on Wednesday! :-)
Lucid Wednesday the Ridge Verte and Pacifique Verte get here . . . in theory! Guess what I won't be drinking that night?
WooHoo!! DrinkUpNY just dropped me a note that my stuff has shipped!! :-) I had actually just checked to see if I could cancel he order and put an order in at Catskills, but it had already progressed to beyond the point where I could edit it. Their on the ball! :-) If DUNY's note is correct and I actually do get a message from the carrier tonight, I'll see tonight when I can expect my package . . . :-) Then I can post that "I'm not drink'n Lucid tonight!" Not that Lucid isn't worth drinking . . . :-)

• Seong-Jin Cho's latest Deutsche Grammophon solo album, The Wanderer, to be released on 8 May 2020
• 25-year-old pianist explores three peaks of the piano repertoire – Schubert's "Wanderer" Fantasy, Liszt's Sonata in B minor and Berg's Sonata Op. 1
• After acclaimed recordings of works by Debussy (2017) and Mozart (2018), Cho puts music by Schubert, his favourite composer, at the heart of his new release
The Romantic theme of the wanderer, the free spirit undertaking a journey into the self, runs through Seong-Jin Cho's latest solo album. The globetrotting Korean pianist's programme includes two monuments of the 19th-century repertoire – Schubert's "Wanderer" Fantasy and Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor. Set for international release by Deutsche Grammophon on 3 April 2020, The Wanderer also contains Alban Berg's Piano Sonata Op. 1, a single-movement work of extraordinary intensity.
All three compositions grow from a simple theme or melodic gesture which is then transformed in the course of a voyage of variation, development and discovery. "This music looks forwards and backwards at once," notes Seong-Jin Cho. "What fascinates me is the composers' ability to create great art from just a few elements. The way they develop the work's entire fabric from a single motif is fascinating. What creativity! What imagination!"
The Fantasie in C major D760, known as the "Wanderer" Fantasy because it quotes from the composer's eponymous song Der Wanderer, dates from 1822. The four-movement work's invention, emotional range and technical challenges make enormous demands on its performers. "The emphasis should fall on the second word of the title," says Cho. "The work deals above all with fantasy, with the imagination, and thus with artistic license."
Liszt's B minor Sonata, completed in 1853 and dedicated to Robert Schumann, shocked many early audiences with its symphonic scale and revolutionary single-movement form. "It deals with life, love and death, with Mephistopheles and Faust," Seong-Jin Cho comments. "I see these thirty minutes of music as a life cycle, with the climax in the middle. Playing Liszt is like entering a state of ecstasy." Berg's Piano Sonata, also in B minor, grew from sketches made while he was studying composition with Arnold Schoenberg and was finished in 1909. Cho first discovered the work as a teenager thanks to Glenn Gould's recording, and went on to study its form and content in depth. "Every detail is magnificently worked out," he notes; "there are echoes of Wagner, references to Beethoven's manner, and even to French Impressionism."
Since winning the International Chopin Piano Competition in 2015, one of the most prestigious of all prizes for young artists, Seong-Jin Cho has become a regular at the world's leading concert halls. His Deutsche Grammophon debut album, released within days of his Chopin Competition victory, shot to No.1 in South Korea's pop album chart and set the foundations for his present superstar status in Asia. The Wanderer follows critically acclaimed recordings of works by Mozart and Debussy, the latter praised by the Daily Telegraph for catching "that special Debussyan combination of grandeur and quicksilver lightness and sudden passion".
Cho moved to Europe eight years ago to study with Michel Béroff at the Paris Conservatoire and has lived in Berlin since 2017. As an artist in high demand worldwide, however, he is comfortable with the itinerant life of a concert pianist. "My home is wherever I happen to be," he says. "Sometimes after I finish my concerts, if I have time, I go to a museum. I also love to take public transport, the bus or tram, or walk around, discover the local architecture and go to places like cafés and bars to have a coffee or a beer, watch people and feel the atmosphere. But I crave silence too and, just like Schubert, need to take short retreats into the natural world to recharge my batteries and refresh my spirit."

Seong-Jin Cho's latest album for Deutsche Grammophon revels in the expressive freedom and emotional richness of Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor and other lyrical works for solo keyboard
Seong-Jin Cho was fortunate that his earliest memories of Mozart were fixed by his parents' recordings of two of the composer's greatest operas: The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute. They opened the young musician's heart to Mozart's singing line, with all its light and shade, pathos and humour, wit and wisdom. The music's apparently limitless compassion continues to resonate with Cho. "When I play, I try to play with my heart, sincerely," he observes. "I try to convey my feelings and emotion – I've always tried to tell a story to the audience." Mozart, he adds, is the ideal story-telling composer. "His music is always closely related to singing and opera; very often the melodic line has to be rather like bel canto."
Bel canto – the art of "beautiful singing" – places a premium on good taste, on knowing when to give free rein to certain emotions and when to resist overstating others. Seong-Jin Cho's Mozart arises from such fine judgements of expression. His interpretation of the Piano Concerto in D minor, charged with expressive freedom and formal clarity, is above all concerned with the work's complex emotional world. "For me, Mozart has everything: his music has so many layers," he says. "When I listen to him I can feel all kinds of human emotions. For example, there are some parts of the D minor Concerto's third movement where he uses the minor key, but then he turns to major notes and it gives such a different feeling: it's as if he's toying with the emotions. It's genius."
Although the autograph manuscript of the D minor Piano Concerto is undated, Mozart marked its completion in his catalogue of works on 10 February 1785. On the same day, his father arrived in Vienna to spend time with his son and daughter-in-law. Leopold Mozart noted in a letter how the orchestral parts were still being copied when he arrived, just hours before the junior Mozart was due to give the first performance. "The concert was magnificent and the orchestra played splendidly," he wrote to his daughter. So much of the drama of the D minor Concerto comes from the dialogue between orchestra and soloist, and Seong-Jin Cho found the ideal recording partners in the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and its frequent guest conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
"I met Yannick in 2017 when I went to Baden-Baden to hear him conduct the COE in La clemenza di Tito," the pianist recalls. He immediately felt at home with Nézet-Séguin's rich interpretation, captivated by its myriad colours and characterisations. Orchestra and conductor returned to Baden-Baden's Festspielhaus this summer to record Mozart with Cho. "Yannick is such a good accompanist when he conducts opera that I knew he'd be a good accompanist for a pianist too – and I was right. He's such a sensitive musician that he reacts very quickly if, for example, I play rubato and take a little more time over a phrase. While we were recording he suggested a number of ideas that really inspired me." The COE's playing, generous in its big gestures and flavoured with subtle nuances of articulation and expression, supported Cho's lyrical approach to the score. "The details are very important, aspects such as dynamics, phrasing, slurs, staccato, these types of articulation."
Seong-Jin Cho's reading of the D minor Concerto navigates the stormy emotions of its first movement, the romantic introspection of its central Romance, and its life-affirming happy ending. "You have to play it like a singer, so you have to breathe! You can't play it too strictly, because Mozart's music always has to sing!"
Striking contrasts and quicksilver changes of mood dictate the emotional weather of Mozart's Sonata in F major K332. The work, written in Vienna during the second half of 1783, is crowned by one of the late 18 th century's greatest keyboard showpieces, a dashing finale based on at least six thematic ideas and marked by sudden shifts between major and minor. Cho singles out the slow movement as "particularly interesting, because Mozart wrote his own ornamentation in the score as an alternative option, giving us a clear insight into his thinking about about ornamentation generally. So when we play Mozart and something's repeated, which happens very often, I think we have to incorporate some sort of ornamentation, in order to show the music in a new light."
The pianist found the ideal foil to the F major work in what he describes as the "joyful" Sonata in B flat major K281, a charming product of Mozart's late teens inspired by the music of Haydn. Its central Andante amoroso, with its floating melody and delicate grace notes, could easily be reworked as an operatic aria.
The Fantasia in D minor, recorded as a bonus track for the digital and LP versions of the album, conjures up an even stronger evocation of opera, especially in its central Adagio section. As Cho notes, it explores the breadth of Mozart's expressive universe. "Many ideas in this piece seem orchestral to me. This is, I think, a very good example of a fantasia – it doesn't make sense to play it in a single tempo. It has to move and change."
Star Quality
Seong-Jin Cho demonstrates the finesse and artistry of his Chopin playing in first studio recording album for Deutsche Grammophon
"All in all, this latest Chopin Competition winner can stand proud next to the likes of such illustrious past winners as Pollini, Argerich and Zimerman", Pianist (London), February 2016
Long queues formed outside record stores throughout Asia when Deutsche Grammophon rush-released its recording of live highlights from Seong-Jin Cho's performances at the 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition. The South Korean pianist stormed the album charts in countries across the region last November, securing his status among classical music's brightest rising stars and attracting worldwide critical acclaim. His first studio recording for the yellow label, set for international release on Friday 25 November, presents the compelling coupling of Chopin's Piano Concerto No.1 in E minor and the same composer's Four Ballades, works at the heart of the 22-year-old artist's repertoire. "This really is dream repertoire for me," notes Cho, who fell in love with the Ballades as a child after hearing Krystian Zimerman's recording of the works for Deutsche Grammophon.
Seong-Jin Cho's performance of the First Piano Concerto during the Chopin Competition final was described by the Telegraph (London) as "unequivocally brilliant". He recorded the work this June at London's famous Abbey Road Studios in company with the London Symphony Orchestra and its new Principal Guest Conductor, Gianandrea Noseda. His interpretations of the composer's Ballades were set down in September at the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle in the Hamburg borough of Harburg. The Concerto and Ballades are ideal compositions for Cho to demonstrate his rare gift for musical characterisation and subtle expression. "I notice very much the operatic feeling in the First Concerto, for instance, in the ornamentation," he comments. "This made it particularly interesting to work with Maestro Noseda, who conducts so much opera."
Dr Clemens Trautmann, President Deutsche Grammophon, is certain that Cho's latest recording will appeal to the many thousands of music-lovers who bought his debut album in 2015. "Seong-Jin is a remarkable pianist, one who combines the energy and élan of youth with musicianship of great seriousness and maturity," he comments. "We are delighted to be working with a performer who communicates so directly and openly and connects with listeners' hearts. This recording of Chopin's First Piano Concerto and Four Ballades captures the star qualities of his artistry and the profound insight of his interpretations."
The live stream of Seong-Jin's performance in Deutsche Grammophon's Yellow Lounge club series in early October 2016 with the Ballads by Chopin was followed by approximately 200,000 viewers worldwide.
Chopin's First Piano Concerto provides the focal point for Seong-Jin Cho's schedule during the opening months of his 2016–17 season. He joins the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and its Music Director Jacek Kaspszyk for a series of performances of the work during the orchestra's tour of the United States (19 October – 7 November), and returns to the score again on 1 and 2 December for appearances in Liverpool with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Vasily Petrenko. Chopin's collection of 24 Préludes, Op.28, a highlight of Cho's first DG album, stands proud in his choice of solo recital repertoire for next January's tour of Taiwan and Japan. The Préludes feature again in a run of recitals the following month in Germany and the United States, including Cho's Carnegie Hall debut on 22 February, and a tour of Italy in March.
Since 2012 Seong-Jin Cho has lived in Paris and has been continuing his studies at the Paris Conservatoire with Michel Béroff. He signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon in February 2016. "I am very happy with my first studio recording for the yellow label," he notes. "This was such a rewarding experience for me and I am so pleased now to be able to share it with others."

Practical Pharmacology in Rehabilitation: Effect of Medication on Therapy With Web Resource serves as a textbook for students and a reference book for practicing rehabilitation professionals. Rather than discussing pharmacology as it relates to only a limited segment of rehabilitation professions, this text takes an interdisciplinary approach to the effects of medications on rehabilitation patients and assists rehabilitation professionals in designing patient-specific therapy plans based on coexisting disease states.
Practical Pharmacology in Rehabilitation explains the necessary pharmacology and then focuses on the relationship between medications and the rehabilitation process.
It offers a proactive approach to educating the patient and caregiver, monitoring the patient for side effects, and modifying therapy plans to provide the most effective and safe therapy for each patient. Written by a clinical pharmacist, a speech-language pathologist, and a physical therapist and athletic trainer, this unique guide helps readers in these ways: Optimize rehabilitation sessions with appropriately timed and dosed administration of medication.
Understand the effects of medication on cognition and learning necessary for accomplishing the tasks of rehabilitation. Identify medication-associated issues affecting the rehabilitation progress, such as dysphagia and problems with muscle function.
Work with patients, caregivers, staff, and physicians to determine appropriate interventions regarding medication use in patients. Readers will need to consider the role of various medications, drug interactions, and drug intolerances on speech and language, cognition, and ADL and motor functioning as they apply concepts to determine possible solutions to each case. Throughout the text more than easy-to-use tables provide quick access to information, including potential side effects affecting rehabilitation for common medications used in treatment for many conditions and other possible side effects or considerations.
Expanded versions of many of these tables are offered as downloadable PDFs in the accompanying web resource. Those tables provide more complete and in-depth coverage by breaking medications down by class, indications, dosage, and potential side effects or interactions.
Practical Pharmacology in Rehabilitation begins by presenting foundational concepts necessary for understanding clinical disease states and the impact of medications used for treatment on rehabilitation.

Romain Grosjean believes he did "a great job" fighting back against Haas team mate Kevin Magnussen in the second half of the 2018 season.
Grosjean endured a miserable start to his year, with misfortune in Melbourne and costly errors in Baku and Barcelona depriving the Frenchman of a single top-ten finish in the first eight races of the season.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Haas garage, Magnussen had enjoyed a good haul of 27 points. But Grosjean's drought finally came to an end in Austria where he finished fourth, outpacing his team mate and equaling his team's best results in F1.
Ultimately, the gap between the two Haas drivers settled at 19 points, but it could have been less had Grosjean's VF-18 not been disqualified at Monza for a technical infringement.
"He scored a lot early in the year and I didn't score anything," Grosjean told Motorsport.com.
"Then obviously there were the eight points of Monza that I've lost. It is not one or two, it is a big chunk, almost half of the gap.
"So, if you look from Germany to now, I think I have maybe had an upper hand.
"Early in the year he did a really good job. He was fifth in Bahrain, that's 10 points, then than he kept going and I kept having either issues or just making mistakes and didn't score points.
"Yes, the gap is big, [but] it was bigger initially, and I think I've done a great job, you know, coming back.
"Even in qualifying, because I was miles behind and I've done pretty well."
Indeed, Grosjean's momentum in the second half of the year allowed him to beat Magnussen 10 to 9 in qualifying overall, and overcome what he described as a mental issue that had undermined his early efforts.
"Of course, it was frustrating, it was annoying, it was hard," he explained.
"I was criticised a lot. But I knew that when things will go right, than everything would be settled, and then I will be back.
"There were a few mistakes, a few bad luck, all in together. Mistakes that I shouldn't have done with my experience. But anyway, it's always the way you react which is important, the way you come back.
"In sport in general there is no middle. It is either good or bad, but the middle is never really an option."
A veteran of 143 Grands Prix, Grosjean will undertake his eight full season of F1 in 2019 and his fourth with Haas.

How to Read an Annual Report
Every publicly traded company is required by the SEC(Securities and Exchange Commission) to provide annual reports to it's shareholders, and the general public as well. These annual reports contain very important financial information, as well of summaries of the companies progress made by the CEO, board members, etc. I use annual reports to decide whether or not im going to buy stock in that company.
How to obtain an annual report - There are basically two ways to get an annual report from a company. The first way is to call the Investor Relations department of a company and asked to have an annual report be sent to you. They send the annual reports free of charge to you, and it would usually arrive in 4 to 5 business days. These annual reports look like magazines, and are very professionally prepared. Usually if you go to the website of the company you're researching, they will have a "Investor Relations" link, and then you can fill out an online form with your name and address to recieve an annual report.
Inside of the annual report, you will find many things that are useful in helping you decide whether or not to invest in that company. Here's what you'll find in just about every annual report:
Corporate Profile - This is just a small summary of the basic operations of the company, what the company does, etc.
Letter from the President - This is a letter written by the president or CEO of the company, and most of the time the letters talk about the financial successes of the year. This letter may also mention major contracts or partnerships the company has formed, and give a general analyzation of the companies revenues and sales. Be careful when reading the letter from the President, because the business could be running to the ground, but while reading the letter you may get the immpression that all is well!
Independent Auditors' Report - Before a company can distribute their annual report to the public, the financial information inside of the annual report must be checked for accuary so shareholders are not misled. That's the job of the independent auditor. They auditing firm will search for evidence that supports the financial information in the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, etc., and then will write a letter if all is well.
Income Statement - The income statement in the annual report shows the net income or net loss for that particular year. It also shows net sales, cost of goods sold, and the expenses of a company. Income statements from different years can be compared to see if the company is improving financially. I like to compare income statements from the past 5 years, to see if the net sales and net income of a company is increasing.
Balance Sheet - The balance sheet shows the business' assets, and liabilities. The assets are listed in order of liquidity. The quicker an asset can be converted to cash, the more liquid it is. That is why Cash is at the top of the list of assets, because it is the most liquid asset. Under assets you may see items such as Accounts Recieveable (the amount of money that's owed to the company), Property and Equipment, and Other Invesments. In the list of Liabilities, you'll see items such as Accounts Payable (The amount the company owes to other businesses), Income Taxes Payable, and Long-term Debt.
Cash Flow Statement - The cash flow statement shows how the money the business makes, is moving in the business. The cash flow statement also shows if the business was able to increase their cash on hand during the year or not.
Risks - Usually in the back of the annual report, you'll find the risk that are associated with the business. Reading all the types of things that can affect the business is depressing, especially if you own stock in that company. But, to get a good idea of what can affect a business, reading the risks section of the annual report is the best way to go.

What Will Winter 2019 – 2020 Bring?
Posted by "Just Sayin'..." in aftermarket, AGRR, aumotive after-market, Auto Glass, Autoglass, Batteries, Battery, Business, cars, Collision Repair Industry, customer, Disruption, Disruptive Innovation, Economy, Fleets, General, Innovation, Leadership, rental cars, Retail, Service, state government, Success, supplier, Technology, Tools, U.S., U.S. Govt., Uncategorized, USP on September 12, 2019
If you read the recent "Farmers' Almanac's Extended Forecast 2020" article on the outlook for the coming Winter in North America you'd have seen that it's predicted to be what the self-proclaimed provider of "perception, experience, and common sense" is calling a "Polar Coaster". Their forecast for this Winter anticipates that we will experience bitter cold from the Rockies to the Appalachians. A forecast likes this tends to be great news for the retail automotive aftermarket as weather extremes are a key driver whether you're in the Emergency Roadside Service (ERS) industry or the auto glass repair and replacement (AGRR) industry.
For 201 years the Farmers' Almanac has been providing seasonal weather predictions and this Winter the worst areas for cold and snow include the Northern Plains, Great Lakes Region all the way to the Northeast. The prediction indicates that the worst weather could take place from late January through early February.
Winter weather often brings feast or famine to the automotive aftermarket depending on whether it's a colder or warmer season. It doesn't matter whether you're a manufacturer of products used by the automotive industry's that operate in the aftermarket, a company distributing replacement parts into markets across North America or a retailer providing services to the end user, the spikes in opportunities that cold weather extremes bring includes probable logistical and supply issues. Potential issues that extreme cold, ice and snow brings can include keeping plants open and fulfilling increased parts orders, keeping delivery vehicles on the road getting those products to the retailers who also have to deal with scheduling repairs that come along with the increased opportunities.
With the current historically low unemployment rates that we're seeing across North America an extreme Winter also will bring additional stress due to difficulties finding those qualified to manufacture, distribute and provide repairs that consumers and businesses alike will require. Currently there are numerous examples of difficulty finding and keeping qualified technicians in both the AGRR and ERS industry's. In the AGRR industry a glass repair or replacement can often be deferred for some period of time, but weather extremes effect on automotive batteries will drive volume spikes in jump starts and replacement opportunities putting strains on companies that provide services in the ERS space.
So if the Farmers' Almanac prediction turns out to be accurate for Winter 2019 – 2020, has your company planned and prepared its best so that you can take care of your customers parts and service needs? Those who have done the best job planning before any extreme cold, ice and snow appears will be the ones able to capitalize on the opportunities that are available.

Today the competitive landscape in the auto glass repair and replacement (AGRR) industry in the United States was dramatically altered. We saw this morning an announcement that Safelite, the largest company in the space, purchased the second largest company. As the clear market leader Safelite was perhaps 14+ times or so larger than TruRoad Holdings. By acquiring the companies that make up TruRoad and bringing them into the Safelite platform the gulf between Safelite and the possible number two AGRR company Glass America is even more gigantic.
You'd have to believe that auto insurers, fleets and even consumers would have a strong interest in ensuring that competition continues to exist for AGRR services. Insurers and fleets especially would have interest in seeing a strong national competitor emerge to keep pricing and service levels in check considering the market share Safelite controls. The prospect of building a true competitor and all that would be required to compete against Safelite in the marketplace would be an incredibly daunting task and in my opinion is highly unlikely considering the new competitive landscape in the AGRR space with Safelite acquiring TruRoad.
Baseball player and coach Yogi Berra was once quoted as saying when asked about the chances of the New York Yankees winning a pennant race one year, "It ain't over til it's over." I'm sorry to say that competition in the AGRR space might be over. Welcome to the new normal.

The Effect of ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance System) to the Automotive Repair Industry
Posted by "Just Sayin'..." in ADAS, aftermarket, AGRR, AGRSS, aumotive after-market, Auto Glass, Auto Glass Safety Council, Autoglass, Business, cars, Collision Repair Industry, Disruption, Disruptive Innovation, driverless car, Driverless Cars, ideas, Innovation, Leadership, OEM, Technology, Uncategorized on July 1, 2019
If you're part of the automotive aftermarket repair industry you'll find interesting an article titled "Car Safety Systems That Could Save Your Life" written by Mike Monticello (@MikeMonticello) for Consumer Reports. The article detailed a Consumer Reports study on vehicles with ADAS technology onboard and the effect it could have on your business. The study reported that, " A majority—57 percent—reported that at least one advanced driver-assist feature in their vehicle had kept them from getting into a crash." Considering that the study involved 72,000 vehicles the potential impact on the automotive repair industry in the years to come could be dramatic.
Mitchell International, an organization providing technology solutions to the insurance industry as well as automotive repair industry, reports that during the first quarter of 2018 the average gross collision appraisal value showed that the average cost of collision repairs was $3,512. When you then consider the Consumer Reports study showing that 57 percent of vehicles with ADAS technology managed to avoid a collision equates to 41,040 fewer vehicles needing repairs. The lost repair value would result in a revenue loss to the collision repair industry of $ 144,132,480. An amazing number considering the small overall size of the Consumer Reports sampling. Imagine the effect this lost revenue will have on the companies that supply the body parts, paints, auto glass and mechanical parts to the collision repair industry.
The Consumer Reports article goes on to explain that "48 percent for the 2019 model year, according to data compiled by Shawn Sinclair, CR's automotive engineer for advanced driver assistance systems" have automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems. In 2018 "only 29 percent of new vehicle modes sold in the U.S. in 2018 had standard AEB". Within the next few years it is expected that the majority of OEM car manufacturers will include basic AEB ADAS technology on new vehicles. Granted it will take a number of years for the automotive repair industry to feel the full effect of ADAS technology across the entire United States car parc of 289 million vehicles, especially with the average age of a vehicle in the United States at 11.8 years as reported by the web site statista. IBISWorld.com estimates that total United States collision industry revenues in 2018 totaled $ 47 billion.
You can just do the math to see what the ultimate effect of ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance System) technology across the entire car parc will have to the collision repair segment of the automotive repair industry. The effect to the companies that supply parts and services will also be just as dramatic. What is your company's strategy to deal with the potential loss of revenue that ADAS technology brings because it's coming?

In the highly charged political environment we live in today we see a growing division regarding differing ideas and views. I'm sure you've seen how new ideas or viewpoints offered by some aren't really appreciated, acknowledged or even allowed when they differ (e.g. Kanye West / @KanyeWest) from what's expected. There seems to be no room to find a middle ground any more; we've lost the ability to have civil and open debate of ideas. When you turn on cable news, read Twitter feeds and even when you have conversations with friends and relatives about countless topics, today's vitriol has become pervasive. If you aren't in lockstep with others you're often castigated, ridiculed and left on the outside looking in. A form of groupthink. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines groupthink as,
"a pattern of thought characterized by self-deception, forced manufacture of consent, and conformity to group values and ethics"
Historically in business most companies operated in a groupthink mode. Autocratic, dictatorial company owners or management with no interest in opposing views or new ideas. Perhaps you worked for a company like this during your career or maybe work for a company today that stifles new ideas? That style may have worked once upon a time, but not in today's business environment.
Over a 10-year span beginning in 1990 I had the great fortune to work with a small, boutique consulting firm based in California while I was an executive at Belron International Ltd. Everyone I worked with at the consulting firm, from the principal to all the associates, brought tremendous value to company meetings they attended or facilitated. With their help teams openly discussed issues the business was facing, and we were encouraged to fully consider and debate all ideas to find the best way forward. The firm espoused that there were "No Bad Ideas (NBI)". Out-of-the-box thinking. A key to using NBI is that it cultivated the opportunity for all participants to feel comfortable suggesting highly creative or unconventional ideas without the chance of being mocked by peers. When you remove the fear of being ridiculed for what might be viewed as a controversial idea in a meeting, you unlock infinite opportunities and options. It's amazing to see what can be accomplished in an NBI environment. The firm provided tremendous value to me, as well as the companies I was responsible for managing.
While working at the company the Chairman, as well as the President/CEO of the organization (at that time) were both key influencers in my career. They used a similar concept to NBI in meetings. Everyone was encouraged to raise contrarian viewpoints to ensure that as many ideas as possible were raised and considered. When offering a contrarian or unconventional idea during meetings we were told to start with "I'm just practicing, but what if……"
Participants could raise ideas without fear, regardless of how outrageous the ideas may have been viewed, as all participants in the discussion were "just practicing". The outcomes of meetings where we used just practicing always provided better options or alternatives to determine the best path forward for the company.
I've used NBI and just practicing with great success for almost 30 years in other organizations. I suggest leaders embrace NBI and just practicing within your teams to maximize opportunities for success. Respectful listening and learning never ends and any organization could benefit from using these techniques.
Just sayin'.
p.s. Today, all of those with whom I worked with at that consulting firm have gone their separate ways and each have had and continue to have amazing individual careers. So, thank you, Selwyn, John, David, Jim and Brian for NBI, along with the support you all provided. Thank you to Ronnie and John for just practicing.
Using Data as Actionable Information

Does your company provide customers with amazing reporting that presents them actionable or unique information derived from your analysis of their data? If you don't you're missing a great opportunity to highlight the value that your organization can bring by presenting data they either haven't thought about or don't access to help improve performance.
I received an email from Uber® that detailed my rides during the past year. Most of the information wasn't actionable, but it was interesting. I learned that I traveled 285.25 miles via Uber® in 2017. I was labeled a "Weekday Warrior" suggesting that most of my rides took place between 6 a.m. – 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. on weekdays. Their take was I was using Uber® for rush hour, happy hour, heading to a morning meeting or a ride to the airport and they were right. I used Uber® in 11 different cities with the highest use in Boston. I don't live in Boston, but they told me that most international air travel from Boston is to London. Who knew? I learned that I signed up for Uber® 1,396 days ago and my average rating of drivers was 4.82 out of 5. I guess I've been impressed with most of them.
Uber® also informed me that Los Angeles riders provide the highest satisfaction ratings for drivers across the World, Tampa uses Uber Eats® most often and that New York stands out as the city with the most late-night and weekend rides. Miami had the most mobile telephones that go MIA (pun intended) in an Uber®, the top tourist destination was The Eiffel Tower and Chinese is the most ordered food in the United States, Burritos in Asia and Europe, along with Tacos in Latin America via Uber Eats®.
Now I'm not sure that any of this information is meaningful or actionable for me, but when you provide your customers with unique information that you track which you believe is important and that could be useful to them in bettering their business you add value. Can you provide a unique perspective that shows the value that you bring? Adding value to your customer is a key component to finding success for your company. By differentiating your value proposition to your customers, you help separate your company from your competitors. So, if you're not using data to provide your customers with information that can improve their business you're missing out on a great opportunity to improve yours.
Here's hoping your 2018 is a very successful one!!

Employees vs. Robots
Posted by "Just Sayin'..." in Amazon, aumotive after-market, Business, Disruption, Disruptive Innovation, Economy, General, Innovation, Insurance, Leadership, recipe for success, Retail, Service, Software, supplier, Technology, Tools, Uncategorized on December 4, 2014
I was reading an article that appeared in Tuesday's USAToday with the headline – "Amazon puts 15,000 robots to work on Cyber Monday". 15,000?!?! The Kiva Systems robots do tasks that historically have been done by some number of Amazons 88,400 employees. Robots picking products that are purchased online by consumers that then need to be shipped to them from Amazon fulfillment centers across the globe cost some number of people jobs. Using Kiva robots obviously provides great value to Amazon shareholders since they don't require a human resource department to oversee payroll, other benefits such as medical and dental plans, vacation days, sick days, etc.. But this can't be good for union and hourly workers.
Robots are obviously taking over or facilitating any number of manual jobs that historically have been done by employees. Amazon's use of robots brings the product(s) ordered online and stored in shelf bins to a packer for shipping. Once the purchased item is delivered to the packer the robot returns the shelf bin back to where it belongs awaiting the next task. These robots have certainly saved Amazon the cost of workers who provided this service. The article says that Amazon spent $ 775 million for the Kiva robots and that, "The robots are part of a complex software and hardware system that simplifies picking and packing at warehouses that contain literally millions of items." The article doesn't mention that each robot, and the systems that supports them, cost an average of $ 51,667. Payscale.com estimates that the average Amazon employee salary cost is in a range of $ 50,098 – $ 122,195. After Amazon's initial investment in the Kiva robots there would be ongoing costs for maintenance, repairs, replacements and of course those whose job it is to manage the 15,000 robots, but Amazon obviously did all the internal analysis and studies to see that the return on investment was well worth the $ 775 million.
The advent of using robots isn't new, but with robots taking over responsibilities of human pickers at Amazon and the use of robots across countless industries and companies the potential loss of unskilled or low skill jobs could be devastating. Taking place at the same time is the strong push by some city and state governments to increase the minimum wage through legislation. Somehow there seems to be a potential disconnect.
Redwood.com compiled a report titled "The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Demand Enterprise-Level Automation". Reason #2 in this report is:
"Happy and Productive Employees
Automated tasks keep people—who can get bored or irritated by doing repetitive tasks—free from drudgery. It also liberates them to do more strategic and valuable activities for the company. Automation lies at the core of all of our modern conveniences. Machines are made to do repetitive, boring tasks—without complaining."
You can see where the use of robots and/or automation that is rapidly taking over or helping employees in their jobs providing cost reductions and greater shareholder value for companies who utilize them, but I'm guessing that most employees would prefer being "bored or irritated" and not "free from drudgery" versus not having a job. Certainly there are countless jobs that won't be taken over by robots, but is your job completely safe from being replaced by a robot so that you can be freed to do something else? I'm guessing the Amazon employees that were picking products for packing at one time thought so.
If you're a business owner or in management with responsibility for delivering shareholder value you have to continually be looking for ways to cut costs and increase value just as Amazon has done. There are countless jobs that aren't going to be replaced by robots, but are there robots that can help you improve the productivity of your employees making their jobs easier and provide greater shareholder value? As companies compete against each other for business at a local, regional, national or international basis; looking for the slightest advantage against industry competitors the answer has to be yes. What are you doing to take any advantage available and ensure that you continue to grow and prosper in your industry?

"Virtual Experience is the next big thing."
This was the message from Philipp Schindler, Executive chairman of Google, as we met with him personally in the Silicon Valley for a fireside chat. And that was exactly the view shared by our guests at the Bertelsmann balance press conference, at the Seat Ateca sales training, and at Audi Matrix when we shortly thereafter brought them into contact with individual virtual experiences. That was reason enough to intensively delve into the opportunities of and technologies of VR at our STAGGacademy. A fascinating combination of live and virtual experience and its strategic use in our projects will be enabling higher (content) use in the future and thus contribute even more strongly to the added value for our customers.

BREST, 16 March (BelTA) – Chinese investors are taking a close interest in two agricultural enterprises in Brest Oblast. The relevant matters were discussed during the meeting of representatives of the Brest Oblast administration and the delegation of China's Gansu Province on 16 March, BelTA has learned.
The agricultural enterprises SPK Oktyabr-Agro and OAO Borovitsa in Ivanovo District may be bought by Chinese investors. "We hope that by using state-of-the-art technology and material resources we will be able to improve quality, increase the output and distribution channels. In particular, we will export the merchandise to China later on," said Yang Liping, head of the Chinese delegation, Head of the Foreign Economic Ties Office of the Gansu Province government. In her words, the volume of investments will depend on the selling price for the two Belarusian agricultural enterprises.
Information that the two agricultural enterprises can be sold was available on the official website of the Ivanovo District Executive Committee. After learning about it, Yang Liping visited Ivanovo District in December 2015. But this time along with representatives of government agencies the Chinese delegation also includes representatives of the private sector and Bank of Lanzhou. For the sake of studying the matters in detail the Chinese delegation will go to Ivanovo District on 17 March.
First Deputy Chairman of the Brest Oblast Executive Committee Nikolai Tokar noted, the two agricultural enterprises could use investments for the sake of their rehabilitation. "Naturally the sale will have to be authorized by the head of state. We have no intention of simply selling them. We would like to preserve the current number of jobs, to increase the output, and explore new business avenues if possible. This is why if the Chinese side is ready, we will negotiate," said the official. In his words, the initial price for the main assets of the agricultural enterprise SPK Oktyabr-Agro that employs about 200 people is set at Br68 billion.
The official also noted that agricultural enterprises have been sold in the past. For instance, a Russian-Turkish company runs the agricultural enterprise SPK Lipnyanka on trust management terms. The investors intend to ship 2,000 heads of cattle to the enterprise, build a greenhouse division, and start a sewing business in the countryside. "We need such investors and will only welcome them. Land will be available on lease terms only," stressed Nikolai Tokar.
The Belarusian and Chinese sides also discussed other promising avenues of cooperation during the meeting at premises of the Brest Oblast Executive Committee.
