Nuritas™ Appoints Former Novartis Global Leader as Chairman
Dublin, Ireland, January 24th, 2016 — Nuritas, a biotech start-up using artificial intelligence to revolutionise therapeutics discovery, announced today the appointment of former Novartis Division Head, Dr George Gunn, as Chairman of the company's Board of Directors.
Dr Gunn brings huge experience and connectivity to the position having been a member of the Novartis Global Executive Committee and Head of the Novartis Animal Health Division from 2004 until early 2015. He also served as Division Head for Novartis Consumer Health from 2008 to 2011 and was the Head of Corporate Social Responsibility for Novartis from 2011 to 2014.
Prior to Novartis, Dr Gunn practiced veterinary medicine for nine years before working at Johnson and Johnson and Pharmacia in an array of increasingly senior executive healthcare roles. George is recognised globally for his leadership and successful impact across a wide platform of healthcare arenas.
Emmet Browne, CEO of Nuritas, said, "As our opportunity is great so are the decisions that lie before us as we scale up. George's depth of experience, knowledge and wisdom, gained at the highest levels of healthcare leadership, will be a huge addition to us as we deliver on the huge potential that lies within Nuritas. I am delighted to welcome George on board and we all look forward to working with him in the exciting years ahead.
Nuritas also announced today that it had filled two key positions on its Advisory Board in the vital areas of strategic translational science and food/product regulation.
The first of these appointments is Dr Dominique Bridon who has over 25 years of experience in therapeutic discovery, translational research and formulation. More precisely Dominique is an expert in peptide development and commercialisation which is at the core of Nuritas. He has had various roles such as Head of Research and Development in multinational pharmaceutical companies working with Ipsen and Pharmacia as well as being a co-founder of a biotech start-up.
An expert in regulatory affairs in the EU, Steve Morrison has also been added to the Advisory Board and brings over 20 years of regulatory experience in both the pharma and food areas. He is currently the Managing Director of P2F (Pharma to Food) Ventures Limited and was formerly the Chief Operating Officer of Provexis which was the first European Company to achieve an Article 13.5 EFSA health claim.
Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr Nora Khaldi stated,"I am delighted George, Dominique and Steve are joining us. From our first meetings it was clear that all three shared our passion for delivering life-changing ingredients. We are continuing to build a world-class team to help us realise our vision of Nuritas ingredients reaching 1 billion people by 2020."

Sir, - I am a private English teacher for adults and children. I teach both English speakers and those who are breaking their teeth in English.
Unfortunately, in the past 10 years at least, the level of English in this country has dropped. Gone are the days when most English teachers were native speakers, and when English and math were taught in smaller classes. It is not uncommon for many English teachers to be extremely weak in the course they are teaching - and to children they are unqualified to deal with. Many of my students complain that English is rarely spoken in their classroom. Everything, it seems, is explained in Hebrew.
Now they want to take away English classes for native speakers! If the Education Ministry isn't footing the bill, why should it care that parents have taken it upon themselves to get native speakers to challenge their children?
Many parents are willing to pay for these courses. Children learn once a week in my program, and they are given material to keep them busy during their regular English lessons. They are challenged, and they love it! Why try to fix something that isn't broken?
Wake-up, Education Ministry! ("Classes for native English speakers to be canceled," May 11.)
Sir, - I want to become empowered to stop the Education Ministry from making a huge mistake. The program serves a relatively small number of students because only those who pass the entrance exam enter the stream of study. Over the past few years the highest-quality teachers have instructed these classes, and parents have paid willingly. Not all the students are native English speakers, however; high-level English, vital to many professions, should be available in public schools to all.
If the ministry must cancel English speakers' classes, why not put an effective program in their place first? One wonders what kind of educators are running our schools these days.
Kfar Saba
Sir, - I am writing also on behalf of the Association of Americans and Canadians in Israel, the Australian Zionist Federation, the English Speaking Friends of Tel Aviv University, the English Speaking Residents Association (ESRA), Nefesh b'Nefesh, the S.A. Zionist Federation (TELFED), and the United Jewish Israel Association.
The Education Ministry's decision to cancel classes for native speakers of English is retrograde, shortsighted and damaging to many interests. We understand that there are problems in continuing the classes, but submit that after an objective weighing-up of all the advantages to both the pupils and the broad interests of the state, solutions could and should immediately be found.
The burden of finding an immediate solution should not fall on this ministry only, but on every government office and institution concerned with proficiency and clarity in English - Foreign Affairs, Industry, Trade and Labor, research, academia, and the intelligence services, etc., etc.
Chairman, Council of English-Speaking
Organizations in Israel
Ramat Hasharon
Sir, - Many non-English speaking countries, including many in Eastern Europe and the Far East, run special English-speaking schools where everything is done in English. While obviously meant for highly-motivated and select students, the underlying idea is clear: the necessity and importance of knowing English in the modern world, and the educational and professional opportunities it provides.
While no one expects the Ministry of Education to open such exclusive schools, the English speakers' curriculum and classes certainly attain similar objectives, as well as fulfilling all the other social and cultural ideals mentioned in your editorial ("Teach English," May 13). To eliminate them because of the usual "lack of funding" excuse is simply absurd.
Doesn't anyone in the ministry look beyond their plush desks and offices when considering Israel's future?
Hatzor Haglilit
Sir, - Kudos for putting the proposed cancellation of advanced English classes on your front page instead of burying it somewhere inside the paper. Highlighting the issue may benefit native English-speaking kids and their parents greatly.
My granddaughter, now in the IDF, was in this program and her English class turned out to be the best and most challenging of all her school career. Fine teaching, amazing curriculum.
Surely we won't let this program founder.
Signs of the times
Sir, - Again and again as I travel around the country I am annoyed by the road signs in so-called English. Is it not possible stop these arrogant Hebrew speakers from creating words that are an insult to the English language?
They seem particularly to like using the double "y" in names like Bene Ziyyon, Mevaseret Ziyyon, Kefar Daniyyel, Daliyya and, worst of all, "Qesariyya" (Caesarea).
Is it just a matter of time before signs to the airport are spelled "Ben-Guriyyon"?
International support
Sir, - Israel has always had a fear of actions which would displease "international opinion."
In "Gov't to weigh Gaza incursion against Kassam attacks" (May 13), I noted with interest that another consideration the security cabinet must take into account is that such an incursion "could undermine the significant international support Israel's current policy of relative restraint enjoys."
Unfortunately, the article did not specify which countries were manifesting such support, or supply evidence that it actually exists. Clearly it was not referring to the EU ambassadors' boycott of Jerusalem Day, or the statement by South African Minister for Intelligence Ronnie Kasrils that Israel is conducting a policy against the Palestinians that is worse than apartheid ("SA minister insists to 'Post' that Hamas has renounced violence," May 13).
Sir, - When Ronnie Kasrils declares that Hamas has renounced violence in the face of repeated statements from PA Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal that Hamas has done no such thing, one is tempted to dub him not the minister for intelligence, but its opposite.
Tel Aviv
Matter of concern
Sir, - Of all the possible "benchmarks" Evelyn Gordon discussed in "Benchmarks for a bloodbath" (May 10), there remains one Condoleezza Rice herself proposed - namely, a Palestinian state must have a contiguous boundary.
Such a requirement would leave Israel a fractured, indefensible, vulnerable state awaiting a bloodbath of extinction.
Sir, - Fiamma Nirenstein's latest book, Israel Is Us is a breath of much-needed fresh air in a world in which Israel is regularly demonized and her legitimacy brought into question.
Nirenstein's earnest appeal to Europe "to recognize the Jewish state as a model of emulation" is worthy of eliciting one response: Amen! ("Making the case for commonality," May 10).

Several weeks ago I had a very strange dream, where I saw a huge golden Koi fish jump out of water. In my dream, without any hesitation I jumped to catch it, but don't remember what happened after wards.Ever since then I have been thinking it must mean s.th. In particular I felt it meant I had to wait for a special opportunity to grab a hold off.
So Saturday evening while browsing through Facebook, the owner of MFA Talon Graphics
(the wonderful place where I get my top notch giclee prints made) reminded artist that Art a Fair was doing it's annual jurying the next morning for walk ins.
On the spur of the moment I decided to go for it, got up early the next morning and submitted three works. That same evening I was told I received the highest score available and was welcomed as a new exhibiting artist! This is an internationally juried show and I still can't believe I actually got in :)
Ill prepared, which is so unlike me, I jumped at the opportunity, grabbed paintings off the walls and went for it. Now I know the outcome of my dream!
Art A Fair takes place in Laguna Beach from June 25th through Aug 29th and draws visitors from all over the world. There is a very nice video about the Fair .
Now that I jumped at this opportunity, I need another dream guiding me how on earth to fill my booth with art work to last me for two months!

Don't settle for an imitation—use real tiles to decorate your walls
Recently, a lot of DIY interior design websites have been recommending special wall paper to create the look of a wall tile. While this may provide a passable imitation of the look you want, you're actually much better off investing in tiling than buying a wall paper.
Here are 4 benefits of tile versus wall paper:
Great Design Options
The more reason to go for a benefits of tile versus wall paper is that you have more choices to make. In fact, your choices are in effect limitless when you think about the possibility of buying some wall tiles for your project.
No Staining
Another very important benefits of tile installation versus wall paper is that it is durable and easy to be cared for. Not like a wallpaper "tile" that is simply gum to the wall and can easily begin to sag, a properly installed grouted wall tile will stay in place for decades. This is because tile is non-porous it is also insusceptible to stains or water damage which is excellent news because two of the main areas you are likely to put a wall tile is mainly in the kitchen backsplash and your bathroom walls are likely to get wet.
Realistic Texture
While there are a few kind of wallpaper tile that offer a textural look, finally anything that is not real tile looks fake. This is true whether you considering a wallpaper that is painted to look like it has one that actually is embossed to grout lines and mimic tile.
Matching Trim Available
If you are looking to cover a portion of your wall or to add a backsplash. If you are using a wallpaper, you certainly would not want to let the design end halfway up the walls. Not only would this leave a weak edge that could tear, it would look so odd. One solution can be to add a piece of wood trim. With a wall tile, you don't have to match a wood trim to finish off the top. Rather, you can simply use matching trim tiles designed for this purpose.
Better Long Term Value
Another benefits of tiling installation versus wall paper is that even though your initial costs will be a little higher, you will be getting a better value in the long term. The tile will last much longer, and it will also provide a more classic look that will be appealing to people, which is very important for your properties.
However, to obtain a greater value of your property in future, its recommended to use tiles rather than wallpapers as they increase the entire look of your home and at the sometime giving value to your property.

Fresher olive oil is better for you.
The antioxidant-rich polyphenols found in olive oil are highest at the time of harvest.
Over time, light exposure breaks down polyphenols, lowering the oil's health benefits.
Brightland oils are the freshest you can find—
with up to 5x the antioxidants.
Each bottle is coated to protect the antioxidants inside from UV rays, and labelled with its Harvest Date. We only sell oil from the most recent autumn's harvest.
Imported olive oils take weekslong overseas journeys to even reach a wholesaler. Our oils are pressed hours from our California warehouse, where they're shipped directly to your doorstep.
This means our olive oils have a polyphenol count of 650-750 mg/kg. (Conventional olive oils range between 100-150 mg/kg.)
Shop the Best Sellers
The Duo | AWAKE and ALIVE
New to Brightland? Start with The Duo: two varietals, each with its own bold, robust flavor profile, paired together to round out your kitchen.
AWAKE is full of grassy, herbaceous flavor, and best enjoyed with cozy soups, hearty pastas, and warm breads. (Polyphenol count: 756 mg/kg)
ALIVE is a smoother, nuttier varietal, perfect for salads, greens, hummus and baked goods. (Polyphenol count: 653 mg/kg)
Shop Flavor-Infused Olive Oils
The same handpicked heirloom olives, lovingly blended with our favorite flavors and bottled with artist-designed labels.
What everyone else is saying
"Normally I use a basic olive oil, but I swapped out for AWAKE, and it made a huge difference in the moisture and flavor. Because of the higher smoke point, I was able to get a nice crispness to the chicken, and AWAKE imparted a smooth, nutty flavor."
"It's vibrant, smooth, nutty, and incredibly fresh. The scent of aromatic olives radiates out of the bottle as soon as you open it, similar to an aromatic wine. If it tastes fresher to you than other olive oils, that's because it is."
"A lot of the oils I'd been using were made with impure olives, or being doctored with cheaper oils. And maybe this is why I never thought 'good olive oil' was all that 'good.' But after trying Brightland, I find myself unable to use another olive oil. It just wouldn't do any of my cooking justice."
Fresher olive oil is more versatile in the kitchen.
At its freshest, extra virgin olive oil is low in free fatty acids. This gives it a naturally high smoke point of 400+˚F.
Damaged olives, delays between picking and pressing, and heat exposure increase free fatty acids and decrease smoke point in many conventional olive oils.
Our rigorous standards keep free fatty acids low and smoke point high.
We handpick our olives with care to discard damaged fruit. Within an hour of picking, our olives are taken to an on-site organic mill, pressed into oil, filtered, and stored in a temperature-controlled room.
Our process keeps free fatty acids low, maintaining the oil's natural smoke point of 410˚F. Sear, stir-fry and oven-roast freely, without turning to lower quality options (like refined olive oil) that sacrifice on both flavor and health benefits.

Published November 2, 2021, The NASAP Newlsetter (Connections), by Erik Mansager, PhD
I've drawn the title for this issue's column from an earlier presentation (Connections, March 2021) about similarities between Dan Siegel (Brain-iac) and Alfred Adler (Human-iac).
Siegel's summary presentations of Interpersonal Neurobiology acknowledges that neuro-connections grow stronger once they happenstancially form in our prenatal and perinatal brains. Adler concurs that infants take information in as it presents itself to them – from within their bodies and from outside of them. They make sense of it only later when structures of the developing brain mature enough to evidence a developing mind. Infants start out only relatively open-to-experience. Siegel emphasises that we can continue a certain openness to form new pathways all our life. But that flexibility is not automatic, nor accessible to all, at the personal-growth level. Why not?
As I noted in the March column, what I think is missing in Siegel is clarifying that "purpose" is wired right into our neuro-connections. And openness is not the purpose of our movement. Rather the purpose of movement is to maintain our perception of the world as we discovered it as children. So our tried-and-true responses fit.
Like drops of rain that are randomly distributed on a window and develop into little rivulets that serve to channel the rain to the bottom of the window – so are the random firings of our infant neurons. As more experience develops, certain neural connections serve to transmit not only information of perception (wetness, pitter-pattering, odor, etc.) but also of what the infant eventually thinks about the sensations registered by the firing neuron net.
These perceptions are all implicitly registered in the infant brain with the help of the amygdala. This portion of the limbic system comes ready-to-fire at birth to help us be-wary when wariness is needed and thus to help our caregiver keep us alive. But the amygdala isn't a reflective organ. Neither is the hippocampus for that matter.
But the hippocampus needs another 18-24 months to mature – before it can take the data our amygdalae has been tracking – and "organizes" into remembering. As our amygdala itself stores more and more data, thought also begins to develop and at some point – usually within our third year, but who knows for sure when – the budding of mind occurs simultaneously.
About this enigmatic point in time Adler and Siegel concur. Herein the personality patterns begin to develop in terms of preferences of perception, states of mind, and the like. We develop the capacity to go beyond taking-in-and-organizing information. Soon enough our preferences act as filters and we take-in-and-exclude preferentially. Adler called it biased apperception; Siegel explains in some detail the workings of neural integration being fundamental to self-organization. This activity, by whatever name, is the basis for the earlier March comment, "When someone does something – or nothing – it's not for no reason."
Adler drew his conclusions that the early biasing of our perception accounts for our intentions to behave in patterned ways: to accomplish some purpose. From my perspective, it is unfortunate that Siegel uses intentionality (and its derivatives intentional and intentions) ambiguously. He and Adler both use it to describe portions of the developing preferential mind, but Siegel also uses it in a more conventional way as a synonym for mindful, or even deliberate. Adler typically uses intention to mean the somewhat unaware psychological movement of striving toward one's fictional goal. Not "a goal" or "goals" but the fictional final goal.
And that is the difference and distinction between these two exquisitely thoughtful and mindful theorists/therapists. Adler put a name to the self-organizing tendency of the human person and rather precisely identified children's third year as when they are capable of a conscious, felt-articulation (conviction?) of how the world works! And how they can operate in it, stimulated by their sense of littleness, to overcome any and all inferiority. Adler called this capacity at such a tender age, a "prototype" of the lifestyle. This seemed to mean it was definitely present yet still subject to refining – which could be activated in a socially interested direction or in a self-bounded direction.
What can still be considered Adler's most original (and still unique) contribution to our healing field is conceiving of human movement as teleologically casting their security-seeking goal before them, and following after it faithfully, if unconsciously. Where does this leave the Humaniac-Brainiac alliance?
Siegel's contribution conceptualizes therapy as the individual, in collaboration with the therapist, mindfully (he might add, "intentionally") impacting one's own neuro-connectivity with the aim of that individual freely acting in life rather than rigidly reacting – an ultimately reasserting the interpersonal nature of the individual.
Adler's contribution conceptualizes the therapeutic relationship as mutually exploring the client's nearly-unconscious-yet-intentional movement (lifestyles), revealing thereby their individual hidden goal; exposing the goal as the unify-er of the reactive lifestyle; and thus freeing them to revise their direction in life – ultimately toward joining and benefiting the larger community.


text: Who here has been brave enough to give this a shot? I've got a buddy with a machine shop (which means almost unlimited small ball bearings in the scrap bin) and giant press so I thought I'd take a stab at making canister Damascus. I was going to buy some powdered steel from a couple of online suppliers but with the weak dollar and the price of shipping I was looking for alternatives. Then I came across someone talking about using steel shot blasting abrasive in place of the "powdered" steel. Of course, Princess Auto had a 50lb bag of just the stuff but I'm nervous about buying a whole sack of it only to have it not work properly (Like I need 49 lbs of useless blasting shot if this doesn't work out). The shot they have comes in 230 grit which should be between .5 and .6mm which seems like it should work (I know, assumption is the mother of all #### ups). As for composition, it is (on the face of it) a decent steel C 0.85 - 1.20% Mn 0.60 - 1.20% Si 0.50 - 1.20% S < 0.05% P < 0.05%. Best of all it works out to about $1.85/lb where the 1080 from K&G is $4.90 as is 10-95 from HiTemp and that's before shipping. Anyone ever tried to get this stuff to weld into a decent billet? Any experience at all?

A few weeks ago, I traveled to Atlanta to speak before their local Customs brokers and freight forwarder's association. The trip was very productive, as I used it to close one piece of business and am currently pursuing two more.
The flight down with United was uneventful. The return trip was pure, unmitigated hell; a reminder of why I don't fly the friendly skies so much anymore.
About five or six years ago, an annual trip to Asia was all I needed to hit the most basic level of Premier for them and then, of course, the mileage bonuses pile on. At the height of my traveling prowess, I reached Premier Executive, which meant that between actual butt-in-seat miles and bonuses, I topped 50,000 miles. Nowadays, 50K gets you treated like chattel, not that I was feted by any stretch of the imagination when I was turning in consistent 25,000+ mile years with them. Let's face it; when you're in the middle of the country, it's tough as nails to get those big, transcontinental trips that help you rack up mileage as a domestic flier.
Because of late arriving aircraft and NOT having signed up for their text messages (but trusting, rather, the UA app and Apple's Passport), even after the flight was supposed to have departed and I was still waiting for an additional hour and a half, my phone proudly proclaimed that my flight left at 5:10. Sadly, it couldn't have been anymore wrong. Had I known how tardy things were running, I'd have spent a little more time with my local friends rather than making a sprint for the airport.
When it finally came time to leave, perhaps my anger at the whole electronic non-briefing that had taken place gave me an added edge. United (and American) now have essentially two "lanes" for boarding an airplane. For their VIP's (global service members, military in uniform, etc.), you can walk over a rug signifying your status while everyone else mills around, eying you warily wondering where you're sitting and whether when you're done if there will be any overhead space left for them (well, us, since I'm now part of that crowd).1
When they're done with these Vee-Eye-Of-Pea's, they pull the extension band closed so us commoners cannot walk over the precious Premier rug. But while we're now having to approach from an angle that places us five to six feet further to the left, we STILL have to step in front of that rug to either hand off our smartphones with the bar codes or hand over printed boarding passes.
The rug is strike one. The closing off of the lane is strike two, and the fact that we still have to step on to or in front of the rug to get our boarding passes processed really is strike three.
I recognize that these people are warriors who are abused and maltreated likely more frequently given their status as unfortunately frequent fliers. If I was doing that much traveling and the plane was hours late and the crew sassy or running out of hours and the luggage interminable in arriving at the carousel, I'd want some sort of status recognition of being a more frequently abused person. But then find a way to reward these people that highlights their status without making the rest of us feel even worse.
And for the record, the reward for arriving an hour and a half late was spending another hour and twenty minutes in the penalty box waiting for a gate, during which the pilots expressed their apologies and embarrassment and I spent it tweeting the whole thing with no response whatsoever from United's social media service until we started moving towards the gate.2
1 When I flew Delta back and forth for a ton of years between Atlanta and Chicago, after all the Medallions were boarded, there was nothing left. Even when I spent most flights in the last row window seat losing my hearing to the rear-mounted engine of an MD-80.
2 I want the miles back for the second half my trip and just haven't figured out how to go about shaming them into giving them back yet. It's the primary reason that I fly LUV now.

With a month to go before Mayor Joseph Accardi is scheduled to travel to China and two months after he requested and received approval from council for a budget of $3,000.00 to publish a brochure that would promote Roselle Park to potential investors, there is no status or update on the progress from the mayor.
At the July 18th Mayor & Council meeting, Mayor Accardi addressed council during his report and stated that in the past year and a half, he had spoken to a lot of people to try to get investments in Roselle Park. He mentioned that when he traveled to the Middle East last year he met with some people with 'a lot of resources' who were interested in coming into Roselle Park and investing. Mayor Accardi mentioned that he directed interested parties to the Borough website, sent information, and put them in touch with real estate agents. During his report the mayor added that he even spoke to a group from the United Nations that were interested in buying houses for what he termed 'second and third tier diplomats' who would stay in residences while serving in their respective embassies.
"We're at a point where I think that we could really make a program like that work," Mayor Accardi said about taking a larger part in promoting the borough. He added, "I'm traveling to China in October and the purpose of that trip is to speak to another group of investors. These investors tend to be wealthy residents of a foreign nation that want to travel to the United States under an investor's visa . . . They're looking for valid investments. They want to come here with a substantial amount of money, invest it, and hire workers once they get here. So I think this is something we, as a community, to look into."
Mayor Accardi stated at that July meeting that he had discussions planned with Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno – who is the state's representative for improving business climate in the state – and with the Director of the Chamber of Commerce in the region so that way I can try to get them on board and potentially have them help him manage the information. It was with this information that Mayor Accardi asked for permission from council to look into potentially having a firm prepare a brochure to sell our community; not just the Special Improvement District (SID) or the downtown area or businesses but also residential properties. He further explained, "To sell the community because of its location and in terms of transportation networks . . . of where it has been and the future potential of our community. Sell the community in terms of the residents . . . the businesses we have and the businesses that we could have."
The mayor stated with Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Kenneth Blum to figure out what such a sort of a brochure would cost. Although he had not spoken to any management companies at that time, Mayor Accardi stated that he spoke to one other community that had done something similar for approximately $2,000. The targeted time frame for the brochure was mid-October and that he wanted to have something in place if he were to make it useful. The mayor asked to a budget of $3,000.00 for 500 brochures.
During the discussion, Fifth Ward Councilman Michael Yakubov stated that he was not opposed to a brochure but that he also thought that the Borough should look at American companies that want to invest before approaching foreign companies. Additionally, he thought if new development was going to happen, that it could be a hybrid of transit and other types of commercial development.
"I personally would not like to see housing built in Roselle Park at this time unless there is a valid plan that incorporated a form of commercial real estate into the plan that would bring ratables, would not bring in more school-aged children and could potentially put a burden on the school system," said councilman Michael Yakubov. He stated this even though three years ago in 2009 he voted to approve a settlement with AvalonBay Communities to build a high-end apartment development which would increase the number of schoolchildren to the school district, especially since a portion of those apartment would be rented at Affordable Housing rates.
Councilman Yakubov concluded by stating, "I'm willing to work with you on this initiative before I go with any brochures he would like to see more information."
Council-At-Large Carl Hokanson asked if it was possible within the brochure to incorporate the idea of research & development incubators proposed by Councilwoman Charlene Storey in May of this year.
Mayor Accardi said that he had spoken to Carlod Ghosn, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nissan Corporation, in Beirut last year and that Nissan was interested in looking into Roselle Park in terms of using a property where they could put developers for the LEAF, Nissan's electric car, and their battery system. The mayor expanded his response by saying that a group of 20-30 independent people could be assembled with provided funding to allow them come up with some ideas that he could use for the Nissan LEAF.
The mayor continued his platform, "We could get a proposal in place for the next meeting and maybe some ideas of what should be included in the brochure before we pull the trigger on it. I'd, at least, like to have some feeling that it's going to go forward. I'm not going to continue to waste my time on this if it's not going to be something we can do as a united front."
CFO Ken Blum recommended to Mayor Accardi that he have three (3) bids by the August meeting so it could be awarded at the August meeting. The proposal was voted on and unanimously approved by council.
Then no word of any progress was mentioned at the August meeting. When reached for comment, Mayor Accardi refused to comment on the matter.
Reaching out to other members of the governing body, a majority of them who responded stated that, as of the end of August, they did not receive any information or request for any input on the brochure or even a rough draft of the brochure itself.
Councilman Yakubov stated, "I asked that before this literature is created and distributed I wanted to view it and review it in order to assure that it is highlighting the very things discussed. I would hope that when we spend $3,000 in tax payer dollars we will see a quick and positive return on this type of initiative. What I do not support is the creation of fliers that get printed packaged up and sent off to China or the Middle East. I think all members of council should see the draft and then have the opportunity to change, edit, and approve the final version prior to print. Then it should be made public to our business community, local investors, and perhaps some international investors. "
In doing further research, it has been discovered that in China, business meetings are held in a different fashion than in the United States and rely more on numerous smaller meetings instead of one major meeting. Additionally, an interpreter is paramount to holding a meeting and brochures are thought of as impersonal and ineffective. Even though the mayor will be traveling to China on vacation and conduct some Borough business while there, no mention has been made if the Borough will pay for the interpreter or will it be a personal expense. If the brochure was to be removed as a promotional tool while in China, no mention has been made as to which companies or organizations (either domestic or foreign) will receive them or if there is a plan to officially follow-up.
Finally, the mayor repeatedly said the referred potential investors to the Borough website which, itself, is not tailored or streamlined to provide information on the borough. If investors will be using the web site as a first step to inquiries, the municipality might better spend its funds to improving it.

These leather wallets features eight card slots, a zipped coin compartment, and two bill compartments as well as three other open internal areas in the smart handmade leather interior
To ensure the leather print on your product is as durable as possible, we've worked hard refining our printing process and craftsmanship. As leather has a naturally textured surface, you may notice small surface differences. This is common for natural leather and leather printing. All leathers age naturally according to usage, and this can cause the print to wrinkle or fade slightly over time. It is possible the base color may show through the leather as it ages with wear. When not in use, we recommend storing your product in a protective dust bag or box to keep it looking its best. • Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, sunlight, water, and chemical cleaners to maintain a bright and long-lasting print. • Avoid contact with light-colored fabrics or upholstery as the color may transfer. • While a light rain shower is unlikely to harm, we recommend protecting from rain. Should your product get wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat. • To clean surface wipe only with a damp lint-free cotton cloth.

A lot of people think that it was the swing smashing a hole in my head and a near-death experience that lead to the understanding that I share with students. While that may be true, and while my memory from age five isn't vivid, I personally believe the reason has far more to do with what that accident made me aware of; namely thinking.
When I first meet a student I do a little talk not unlike this one, wherein I explain the fundamentals of how a brain works. I'll usually use things from people's lives rather than experiments (because Dan's a psychologist and I'm just someone who for 45 years has watched what people said and did super-closely). But essentially the point is the same: reality is flexible, happiness is negotiable.
My "course" is 12 hours long. If you can't see me, but you're interested in that what the first hour conveys, I'd suggest giving this talk a listen and it'll give you a taste of how you're like everyone else. The rest of the course would then be about how these general truths impact your specific life. What's most important to take away from this is that, if you aren't enjoying life, you can learn to.
Have a great weekend everyone!

DALLAS, April 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliance Data Systems Corporation (NYSE: ADS), a leading provider of loyalty and marketing solutions derived from transaction-rich data, today announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Aspen Marketing Services (Aspen). The largest privately held marketing services agency in the United States, Aspen specializes in a full range of digital and direct marketing services, and advanced analytics to perform data-driven customer acquisition and retention campaigns.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20051024/ADSLOGO )
For 25 years, Aspen has been a recognized leader in providing marketing agency services and in 2010 was ranked #8 by Advertising Age in the U.S. CRM/direct marketing agency category. The company has deep expertise and heritage in the automotive and telecommunications industries, coupled with diverse Fortune 100 clients in CPG, retail and financial services. This acquisition significantly expands Epsilon's agency business through scale, new agency capabilities and technology, and fits squarely within Alliance Data's strategy of seeking strategic acquisitions that enhance Epsilon's core capabilities and strengthen its competitive advantage.
Benefits Alliance Data and Epsilon expect to realize from this acquisition include:
- Adds automotive as a new and well established vertical for Epsilon, with solutions including highly targeted, integrated marketing services for thousands of auto dealerships and auto manufacturers nationwide;
- Adds significant depth in telecom, while expanding Epsilon's footprint in financial services and CPG, bringing expanded capabilities, clientele and expertise;
- Provides strong potential for cross-selling opportunities into Aspen's and Epsilon's established verticals;
- Brings Aspen's strong, tenured management team with decades of experience in the marketing services industry and deep expertise in several verticals.
- Looking into 2012, Epsilon is expected to run at approximately $1 billion in annual revenues and $250 million in EBITDA, ample financial resources to handle the largest of the Fortune 1000.
- Upon closing, this acquisition will effectively complete the build-out of Epsilon's end-to-end offering by bolstering its agency business to be of comparable leadership proportions to those offered through its data, database, analytics and distribution offerings. The process has taken over six years.
Bryan Kennedy, president of Epsilon, commented, "Aspen is a well-admired, innovative agency that is a perfect fit for Epsilon. We are committed to transforming our agency business to become a market leader, and this acquisition is a very strategic and important move in that direction. Combined, our two entities will drive impactful programs for our clients through the creation of relevant brand experiences for consumers – from concept and strategy to dynamic communications and interactions via online and offline channels."
Kennedy continued, "Specifically, Aspen will bring with it a very talented and experienced team in integrated multi-channel marketing. Second, Aspen enhances the breadth of services for Epsilon's existing clients. Together with Epsilon's agency services, the expanded offering forms a compelling platform for cross-sell solutions. Third, Epsilon and Aspen share a culture marked by a strong passion for delivering superior client service that measurably drives our clients' profitability and growth. Finally, we are excited to welcome Aspen's talented and highly regarded associates into the Epsilon family."
Patrick O'Rahilly, president and chief executive officer of Aspen, commented, "I've been in the business for 25 years, and it was clear that this was a prime opportunity to take our well-established agency business to the next level. Combining our capabilities and expertise with Epsilon's critical products (data, database, analytics, distribution) will allow for an even more compelling offering. We've spent a lot of time with the team at Alliance Data and Epsilon, and we all feel that the fit is perfect. I'm looking forward to driving forward to the next level with Epsilon's $1 billion division behind us, as well as a corporate parent which is fully supportive of our approach."
Epsilon's Growth Story and Acquisition Rationale:
In the fast growing transactional-based targeted marketing space, Epsilon uniquely offers the five critical components of an end-to-end solution. These include:
- Agency/creative: working with Fortune 1000 chief marketing officers to develop their customer acquisition, retention and loyalty programs through strategy and creative development.
- Data: providing clients with unique, proprietary insights into their consumers through transactional and demographic data that enhances their ability to create a more robust consumer marketing proposition.
- Database: processing massive amounts of consumer data and populating sophisticated loyalty and acquisition marketing platforms to enable dynamic marketing initiatives.
- Analytics: leveraging these marketing databases to develop segmentation models and to utilize advanced analytic techniques to optimize clients' dialogue with prospects and customers.
- Distribution: driven by analytics, optimizing customer communications across all channels, both traditional and emerging, ranging from point-of-sale, direct mail, web, permission-based email, mobile and social media.
In 2009, Epsilon was a leader in three of five offerings (database, analytics and distribution). In 2010, it acquired proprietary data assets from Equifax which, combined with Epsilon's existing data assets, brought the data offering up to a leadership position. One more piece was needed to ensure an industry-leading position across all five core offerings – agency/creative. Aspen will bring its size, capabilities and reputation to the agency/creative aspect to fully round-out the Epsilon offering. Upon closing, Epsilon's agency business and Aspen will be integrated into one agency platform operating under the Aspen Marketing Services name.
Financial Highlights:
Aspen is projected to generate $250 million in revenues and $40 million in EBITDA in 2011. Alliance Data will pay $345 million plus a working capital adjustment for the company and expects it to be slightly accretive to core EPS in 2011 and accretive to both GAAP EPS and core EPS thereafter. To the extent expected synergies can be achieved, accretion levels will increase. It is expected that all of Aspen's management will transition and Aspen's 750 employees will add significant capabilities and expertise to Epsilon's agency business. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter, pending customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
BofA Merrill Lynch acted as financial advisor to Aspen Marketing Services on the transaction.
