Hi everyone! We are starting off the final day of the blog launch with the new Petite Striplet designs! These are a bit smaller than the Original and even the Mini Stripets we have done. Shown here, the Petite Tiled Squares Striplet is a gorgeous geometric design that I think will be perfect for cards for either sex, which is so useful to have in your crafty arsenal. Also on offer this post are the Petite Jubilee Striplet and the Petite Atlas Striplet. The eagle eyed among you may have spotted the Atlas die on yesterday's last launch card (it was behind the Gillian die). There are three dies that are up for grabs during this blog post, so don't forget to leave your comment in order to be included in the drawing to win one of them! The next post is set for 12 noon, hope you can be there! All for now, Sue x

Sunday smiles to you dear Sue. What a fantastic collection of triplets, I know this size will make those that make smaller size cards scream with delight. Yet again you have given us the tools to make those awkward male cards.
Looking forward to the next post xx

Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card as are these striplet dies. I think i have all your striplet dies as they are so versatile and making these ones a bit smaller will come in very useful for making those smaller cards. Something else which has gone on my wish list lol.

Hi Sue,
Love these especially the tiled one. I said the other day that the Gemini and striplets are my favourite type of dies as they are so versatile. I love making 8x8 cards but because of the postage charges, I have started making 6x6 for ones that I need to post. These would be perfect for the smalles cards so thank you.
Love and hugs to everyone, love Alison xxx

Morning Sue, I do like these petite striplets they are easier to use for smaller cards, I didn't realise you had used the striplet die in your last card so had another look and saw it was the atlas die, very clever I would never have thought to use it in this way so you have given us even more ideas, Thankyou

Hi Sue - more great striplet dies! This card is so different and I love the tiled effect. I tried to work out which die was around the Gillian die yesterday and now all is revealed. Such a clever design and who'd have thought it was a striplet! Looking forward to the rest of today's cards. Best wishes

I wondered what was behind the Gillian die - I thought it was some circular die I'd never seen before!
I'm so glad you're doing some dies for smaller cards. I love big cards. They're great for special occasions and special people, but sometimes a small card is more convenient or more appropriate, so to have some lovely useful dies for them is a wonderful idea. I love the look of these striplets.

There is something very Chinese about the tiled squares striplet die.

Hi Sue
Lovely dies, hard to choose a favourite, but the size is great approx 5" just right for the size cards I make. Also liking that the measurements are on the packaging, useful for online shopping which, unfortunately, is the only way I can get my hands on craft supplies.

Hi Sue,
So glad the stripleta are now available in a Petite size, I love to cut around the page with my Intertwining Circles die so I can see myself using the Tiled Squares in the same way, it would make a stunning Oriental style background....and unisex too!...

Hi Sue,
Striplets! Awesome! My Go To! I find them the most useful of all dies and I thought the mini ones were absolutely fantastic for those slightly smaller cards (although everything can be adapted :-) ) but now you've surpassed that with Petite!!!!!!! Thankfully you are one step ahead of us all the time, knowing exactly what would be handy to compliment our crafty stashes. It's a little sad knowing it comes to an end today, I do so enjoy my blog fix 4 times a day LOL

I have always liked the striplet dies and these petite striplets are no exception. I like a die to have more than one use, and to be adaptable (male/female/variety of ages). It is nice also if you can add to each die in a number of ways. Your dies never fail to offer a variety of options.

I have a lot of your striplet dies and use them all the time they are so versatile on their own or as backgrounds. It is nice to have another three gorgeous ones to add to the collection. I love your card using the more masculine striplet which will be ideal for those mens cards we all struggle with lol xxlove yvonne bennett xx

Hi Sue. I bought the tile mini striplet at Ally Pally and it is true, it is a perfect size for those smaller cards, but it can sensibly be used on larger cards too. Love the card you have made with it.

Hi Sue,
Ditto Stella Munn. Wow of a card and the tiled striplet got into my little hands yesterday. I love that one, and it's turned out exactly as I thought it would when I look at your fab card. And whilst my eagle eyes spotted the die behind the rosette yesterday, I couldn't for the life of me figure out which one it was as brain capacity is not equal to my vision :-) I should have known you had been doing your magic again.
Hugs, Rose

These dies look great Sue. I can see myself using them a lot, especially for male cards.
- 17 April 2016 at 10:07
Hi Sue, Love this card, and how gorgeous are these petite striplets. Love them. I can't believe you have such a wonderful die launch again, how do you do it. It's been lovely seeing all the cards and am looking forward to more of your ideas using the new dies. Thank You for all your inspiration, and more importantly your time, we all know how precious that is. Hugs Theresa Harding xx

Morning Sue, I love the Striplet Dies, and these are great if you want to make a smaller card, so I think a "must have", the problem is choosing which "Must Have" to lead the list - you do not make it an easy choice.

Like so many of the commentators above, I appreciate the availability small striplets for those small cards we need to post. I especially like the geometric design on the card which is, without a doubt, ideal for the male of the species who don't appreciate cards with golfers, footballers, cricketers etc (my brother springs to mind here!!!).

1. What was your first vintage acquisition and where is it now?
When I was approximately 6 years old, I went with some of the older neighborhood children to a High School Fair and there was a White Elephant table. I purchased a pretty woven pearl choker. I still have it after all these years and it's in my jewelry box!
2. What was your favorite or best buy ever?
This is a tough one to call as there have been many wonderful finds throughout the years. I have always said that you don't find things....they find you, and in this instance that certainly applied. I worked for nine years at our City Public Library. The lady who was the assistant to the Head Librarian, had a close childhood friend who lived in Richmond, Virginia. One day, Susie, who knew I loved collecting vintage clothing and vintage costume jewelry, asked if I would be interested in a bunch of old odds and ends that Eve was going to donate to a thrift store. And, of course, I said YES!
Eve sent the items in a brown paper bag and upon first glance there appeared to be an assortment of mismatched parts. I emptied the bag on my desk at the Library and began looking closely at what was there, and soon realized if I could find the pieces to a few things, there were some wonderful treasures before my very eyes! I offered her $150 for the bag, which at the time seemed a crazy price to pay.....I was, in fact, taking a great chance that everything would be there! Susie said she knew Eve would be most happy to take my offer as she had not expected to get anything for the items. After a number of hours of work....piecing together the puzzles....among the items purchased were a marvelous strand of large Victorian Scottish Agate beads with the original clasp, a lava cameo brooch and matching earrings and several mourning items made from jet. These precious items would have been cast in the trash and lost forever had they reached their original destination, as I suspect no one would have realized the treasures in that little brown paper bag!
3. What was your most unusual buying experience?
One Sunday afternoon, my husband and son and I were out for one of our usual treasure hunts when we stopped at a small antique mall in Smithfield, Virginia. We made stops here every now and then to see what was new from the vendors. I had never really found anything of note here, but on this particular Sunday, I happened to look in a showcase filled with small tools and what I like to say was mostly things that men would admire and there, right before my very eyes, was a beautiful Victorian bangle. I immediately recognized that it was probably from the 1860's-1870's time period and just knew it was wonderful. I could hardly contain myself long enough to find someone to open the case, but finally found a nice gentleman who was working the case. When he opened the case, I couldn't help but think how unlikely this dainty item appeared sitting among the many tools. I purchased the piece and when I got home that evening, I was most happy with my purchase of an 18kt. gold Victorian Etruscan style bangle bracelet set with a coral bead and a small rose cut diamond. In the back of the bracelet was a compartment for hair with the original glass covering. The bracelet was priced at $15.00 and there was 10% discount offered by the dealer! It always pays to leave no stone unturned.
4. If you had a time machine which decade or year would you choose to go back to and bring back some clothing or jewelry?
The clothing and jewelry from the 1940's has always held a special attraction for me.
5. What are your favorite, most helpful reference materials/sources?
Even though I now use the Internet quite extensively for research ( Vintage Fashion Guild is absolutely a gold mine), I still have several wonderful books that I love to peruse for reference. For jewelry, I think I have used the books written by C. Jeanenne Bell and Christie Romero (she wrote for Warman's) so many times. Jeanenne's "Answers to Questions About Old Jewelry 1840-1950 is very helpful for identification. For clothing, I have used so many.....Antique Trader Vintage Clothing Price Guide edited by Kyle Husfloen and Madeleine Kirsch is a good basic beginner guide, as well as Antique & Vintage Fashions, 1745 to 1979 written by Barbara Johnson, Ph.D. Auction catalogs are great resource books, too! Since I love hats, I have enjoyed 1000 Hats written by Norma Shephard and Vintage Hats & Bonnets 1770-1970 written by Susan Langley. I never tire of looking and reading books about some of my very favorite things in the world....Vintage Clothing and Jewelry!
6. What item were you most tempted to keep that is available in
your shop right now?
Another hard choice, as I love all of my "children" so to speak, but if I have choose, I would pick item #166.....a beautiful red silk evening dress designed by Hanae Mori. The material is so gorgeous and the dress is simple elegance!

I had my very own "5 Cougars thanks" moment mid ride at the Basin Bakery today. Don't read too much into it though, by no means did my Cougar moment have anything to do with the generous physical attributes of the lady serving me. No, in fact it was more of a Hungry Jacks "Stunner" moment, hunger combined with the abhorrently cheap 6 iced doughnuts for $3.50 had me well, stunned. Soon after the doughnuts had me stunned and struggling to pedal, my body facing the tough choice between digestion and oxygen supply. Don't fret though guys, I made it home, slowly.
It was wet today too, that nice soaking rainforest Dandenongs kind of wet. It doesn't appear to actually be raining, it's more like there is inescapable constant moisture suspended in the air and I am riding through taking a collection as I go. It was cold too, AND windy!
But rather than talk about how tough I am (trust me, really, I'm not...) I'd prefer to take some joy that I am not racing the Sun Tour. Those guys have it rough this year! Last year there was about 10k total of serious gutter action and pretty much Sun (who would have thought!) all tour. This year looks bad, bad and oh so bad. Nothing but rain and broken collarbones! Hope everyone who went down recovers quickly. Thoughts also go out to Andrew Garnham the race doctor, he will certainly have his work cut out for him!
Lang Lang this Sunday. Yeha.
Bye for now.
Actually wait! It seems in my sugary euphoric ramblings I managed to neglect that I also had a chocolate croissant. At the oh so stunning value of $1.70. Bakeries really are friends of cyclists and students. Good thing I'm both, otherwise you lot might call me stingey...

Sixteen months ago I was drawing a ruined Byzantine palace on the Marmara Sea. There had been many such projects and I often sent long detailed emails about them to friends. This time, one such friend showed me how to put it up as a post. That was fifty posts ago. At first I felt like I was taking a shower with the curtains open. Now I feel like I am dancing with the whole world. Thank you for this dance.
As it shows in the report below, this blog is read by people in Uganda and Bolivia and Afghanistan, in Texas and California, Van and Istanbul. Years ago, an untraveled art student in Los Angeles, I fell asleep at night imagining Greece and Rome and Egypt, and now I have pen pals there. Pretty heady stuff!
I'm glad I'm able to stay in Istanbul, living on art. It takes everything I've got. I'm not able to travel much, but my blog does! This is a bloody miracle. I was born before the computer revolution. Actually I was part of it. One of the first digital artists on the Mac, I got to be in the center of that fabulous technological and cultural maelstrom. I remember Life Before Internet. So I don't take any of this for granted. I hope I never do.
I recently watched a program about the Cygnus Mystery. Cygnus is a constellation in the Milky Way in the shape of a flying swan. The West calls it the Northern Cross. The stars of Cygnus form the guide to the layout of ancient temples around the world, including Turkey's Gobekli Tepe. The ancients were far more savvy than most of us suspect. It's probable that many civilizations, as advanced as ours or more, have risen, peaked and fallen away long before recorded history. A dark star near Cygnus causes cosmic rays from stars in Cygnus to beam Earthward, bombarding our DNA with cosmic particles. This may account for dramatic accelerations in human development. Musing on such things took me right out of worrying about survival and put my perspective up there with the wheeling constellations of the galaxies. It's comforting to realize that the world doesn't rest on my shoulders. It's equally comforting to realize that it's resting on everyone's. Thank you for your company on this journey.

I remember the early 2000s and the time of big brand "it-bags" and how it all became overdone afterwards. I've noticed lately I am not carrying handbags any more because simply I can't find any that I like. So instead I am using fabric totes and clutches. I find using pouches with totes makes it easier to keep things organized, otherwise throwing everything in one tote would make a huge mess. My husband jokes with me "and do you have another small bag to put inside that clutch?" Anyway... These are just some of my favourites out there.
Just when I finished putting together this post Leslie Oschmann's newsletter came in the mail. I forgot how much I like her painting totes! I think they are beautiful and original and would love to get one some day.
What do you use to carry things around these days?

Spacer (Delmark; 2011)
Jason Adasiewicz (vibes)
Nate McBride (bass)
Mike Reed (drums)
Jason Adasiewicz is burning a lasting impression on the Chicago jazz scene and the global scene as of late. His last album, and introduction to his new trio, Sun Rooms (Delmark; 2010) garnered justifiable critical acclaim. His trio have followed that up with the mystical Spacer (Delmark). While I've always seen him as this combination of Elvin Jones, Billy Higgins, Dave Pike and Bobby Hutcherson, Adasiewicz has really come into his own with unique structures and patterns on Spacer that really are astonishing.
The quiet improvisational "Solo One" opens the proceedings to be followed by the hypnotic "Hi-Touch" which slowly gathers each member's thoughts and patterns and wraps them around a more modern bebop groove. The unity that the trio exemplifies on "Run Fly" is sublime. There's an understanding between Adasiewicz and Reed where as they are almost performing in counterpart, somehow it all burns together as one. Then midway into the piece, McBride's thumping and plucking boils in the background and your senses start to move from one instrument to the other. Reed's brief solo towards the end allows the band to turn and refocus as a unit in order to head out to the conclusion.
"The Volunteer," written by McBride is a slow angular groove that while dominated by pulsating tones of Adasiewicz and Reed are molded around some bright and crafty lyricism from McBride. The soft brushes, subtle mallet touches and string movements that open "Bobbie" is beautiful. This ballad, written by one of Adasiewicz's fellow collaborators, Eric Boeren, is soft, sweet and romantic but still has the ethereal affect circling around the melody.
There's certain timbre to Adasiewicz music that most fans are familiar with. It's the way the tunes build, float and gravitate. "Waiting For The Attic" is just that kind of tune. It builds nicely and there are a number of improvised sections that are played to such a perfection that they feel like written notes. The piece then travels to climax in the middle with all instruments rolling along. And then gently settles you down for the conclusion.
I had been wanting to write a piece on Spacer for weeks now. I had intended it to be on my best of 2011 list but I just didn't get the time to absorb the music as much as I liked in order to put word to paper. I'm actually glad I waited, because no matter what, this is definitely one best records to have heard at the end of 2011 or the beginning of 2012. Jason Adasiewicz has reinvented the vibes and turned the sound into something more other-worldly. And with Spacer, he has created his best work yet. Highly Recommended.

(Reuters) – First Solar Inc will build a 26-megawatt solar power plant for power producer NRG Energy Inc in Arizona under the latest deal between two of the biggest players in the U.S. renewable energy sector.
NRG is the majority owner of the 290-megawatt Agua Caliente plant that First Solar is building nearYuma, Arizona, and the two companies previously teamed up on a 21-MW plant in Blythe, California, in 2009 and the 20-MW Road Runner plant in New Mexico last year.
The new plant, the Avra Valley solar project, will be built by First Solar and use the U.S. company's thin film panels mounted on a tracker that tilts the panels to follow the sun's arc, the companies said on Monday.
Financial details of the deal were not released.
It is expected to be completed by the end of 2012, and will sell its output to UniSource Energy Corp'sTucson Electric Power under a 20-year contract.
Shares in First Solar rose 1.7 percent in premarket trading to $27.96 per share.

- excellent value
- wonderful starter kit--I was able to make all the lines and styles I needed right off the bat. The wookbook is a treasure, too. Very happy lady here :)
- Imagine having a great talent and just needing the right tool
- First, I have to say for years I've used a certain popular brand of a cheap wood burning tool, making pretty incredible art but always knowing, this tool would melt, at one point or the other, like they all did. I finally calculated how much I had spent on cheap tools and it was enough that I could have bought this model AND the next step up. I read the one review on it, and usually I need a few reviews to invest that much money but then I checked the BBB ratings as well, and was pretty impressed. This is all said to be able to say that I reached out to their processing department and contacted PJ, and then I started asking questions on the items, and details for both kits, so I could determine what I really needed to drop cash on. They were so friendly and so fast at responding, it made it easy for me to see why others like this company, why others are so loyal to it. The items arrived yesterday and everything is exactly as described. The company is so friendly and easy to work with, that I foresee being a long time and loyal customer!
- Excellent combination
- After years of struggles with inexpensive, multipurpose woodburners, I finally got the right tool for the job. No waiting for warm up. This unit is ready to go right after hitting the switch. Plenty of power to do smooth, uninterrupted lines. The choices of included tips and instructional material is excellent. I have added the tip cleaner and the small chisel tip for lettering. Also noted was the overall fit and finish of the power unit and pens. Again - excellent!

So says Lennon Sisters' mama, Sis, in this Oct. 1959 issue of TV Radio Mirror.
I'm not the best Catholic in the world. In fact I didn't even make it to mass at St. Joseph's this weekend. In lieu of that I figured I could at least scan an article about the Lennon family and their faith.

Kathy and Janet promoting new dolls
There's a new interview with Kathy and Janet in promotion of their Best Pals doll line. Check it out.
Presenting: Lennon sisters' rag dolls
By GRETCHEN METZ
Entrepreneurism is a new role for sisters Kathy and Janet Lennon.
They are familiar with celebrity, having been in the spotlight 50-plus years. But as founders of KatJan, a company that makes rag dolls like the ones crafted for them by their mother and grandmother when they were tots, there is a lot to learn.
"I had no idea how much work was involved," said Janet Lennon in an interview Wednesday at a local hotel. "Our background is entertainment. We leave the business-business part to people who know what they're doing but we're learning all the time."
Kathy and Janet Lennon, the two youngest of the Lennon Sisters quartet, are in the West Chester area this week to pitch their new line of Best Pal dolls to QVC in West Goshen and appear on the Comcast CN8 "Your Morning" show at 8:30 a.m. today.
The Lennon sisters, Diane, Peggy, Kathy and Janet, grew up as the apple of America's eye, little girls in matching dresses, singing in harmony on "The Lawrence Welk Show."
Janet, the youngest, was 9 when the sisters made their first Champagne Music apparence for Welk on Christmas Eve 1955. They left the show in 1968 and started their own musical variety show on ABC, "Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sisters," the following year.
In the 1970s, the sisters performed regularly on "The Andy Williams Show," and toured with Williams across the country.
In 1994 they began performing at the Welk Resort Theatre in Branson, Mo., and producing CDs. Sisters Diane and Peggy have retired. Younger sister Mimi has joined Kathy and Janet to make a trio.
There were 12 Lennon siblings in all.
"We thought we'd be there for a year or two but it's been 13 years," Janet Lennon, 61, said.
The two sisters, who were inseparable growing up and still remain "best pals," decided three years ago to make their entrepreneurial dream come true.
"We always wanted to do something together," said Kathy Lennon, 63. "And we loved the rag dolls so much we wanted to give them to other children."
Added Janet Lennon, "those dolls were with us on the road, slept in our bed in hotels when we were little girls."
The still glamourous, yet approachable, sisters said they thought the time was right to fill a need for wholesome toys in an industry saturated with techno-toys and dolls with attitudes and provocotive cloths.
"They are playable and we felt it was time to bring children back to a simpler time," Kathy Lennon said of Best Pals.
Like the dolls made by the Lennons' mother and grandmother, Nana, the dolls have embroidered faces, yarn hair in pigtails, cotton-print dresses, white pantaloons, white stockings and white Mary Jane shoes.
The Best Pals line started with a blonde Janet and a brunette Kathy doll, both 16 inches tall. When the Best Pals Christmas CD came out and the sisters saw the covers with the Kathy doll in a green velvet dress and the Janet doll in a red velvet dress, Kathy Lennon said they decided that they were "so adorable" they would add Christmas Best Pals to their line.
The sisters launched the line in August 2006 at the Mall of the Americas in Bloomington, Minn. Since then, they've been on the road talking to retailers and making appearances at trade shows around the country.
As new entrepreneurs, performing at Branson, where they live, is actually the most restful part of the year, according to Janet Lennon.
"We get to sleep in our own beds," Janet Lennon said.
KatJan is adding a line of multicultural dolls: Lily, Sofia and Isabelle so that black, Asian and Latino children will be able to identify with their own doll.
There will also be mini dolls, a cookbook, gift book and children's CD.
KatJan is managed by Roxi Elfering who ran her own toy manufacturing company before signing on with the Lennons. As KatLJan president and executive director, Elfering is guiding rollout of the new products in the Best Pals line.
The start-up company is "exceeding goals" Elfering said, thanks in some degree to the sisters' celebrity.
"It absolutely opens doors," Elfering said.
The Lennon sisters have an office at their warehouse but prefer to work from home.
"You can have lunch with the grandchildren and go back to work," Janet Lennon said. "It's so much easier than getting dressed and going to the office."

old Lennon Sisters clips
Aw, tonight's repeat of the Jan. 4, 1958 Lawrence Welk Show had some darlin' Lennon Sisters numbers!
First the girls sang the lovely Melodie D'Amour.
The absolute highlight was their Ferdinand The Bull number. Dee Dee, Peggy, and Kathy looked so pretty in their mantillas. And Janet! She was the most precious thing ever as the little matador. I loved it!
Enjoy the clips.

Quick Link
In case you're like me and was disappointed to learn that The Lennon Sisters version of I'm Coming Back To You was not released on any album, but only as a single, there is some good news. This site has it available for download in .wav format. It doesn't include the B side but I guess we can't have everything.

As safe as America itself
The above quote by Kathy, from the 1965 radio program Guest Star, for US Savings Bonds, just strikes me funny. For one thing it's now ironic given the age of terrorism we live in. And she delivers the line with such earnestness. Sadly, I just can't comprehend the innocence Americans felt back in the day.
Well, I didn't mean to be so maudlin. I'm here to share some goodies. I have an lp of The Lennon Sisters on that Guest Star radio program, hosted by Merv Griffin.
The girls and Merv chat rather stiltedly, trying to sell some bonds. The girls sing and sound great on Chim Chimeny, More and You Made Me Love You.

classic clips
I added some more clips to YouTube - three numbers from the recent repeat of the Indiana episode of The Lawrence Welk Show.
My fave - I'm Coming Back To You.
Shhhhh - There's A Kind Of Hush.
Finally, Kathy and Kennedy look-a-like, Steve Smith - Somethin' Stupid.
Enjoy the songs, and not so subtle prop usage. It's so crazy how the show went to such lengths to hide the girls' pregnancies.

There are many statues of men slaying lions, but if lions were sculptors, how different statues would be. News that the mighty taxi company Uber, rather than slaying the Chinese market, has been slain by local rival Didi Chuxing, suggests the lions — or since we are talking about China, dragons — have learned to carve.
"We were a young American business entering a country where most US internet companies had failed to crack the code," Uber CEO Travis Kalanick admitted this week. It was an expensive failure. Reports suggest it had poured north of $2bn into its attempt to assault Didi's 80% plus market share.
Not that Uber wasn't warned. Uber was pretty well assured to join the long list of mighty US tech giants — Google, eBay, Facebook, Twitter, Groupon — that have been savaged by the Chinese dragon.
Only the late, and not much lamented, Yahoo had a successful China strategy, thanks to its deal with Chinese business magnate, Jack Ma, Chairman of Alibaba Group.
"So far we haven't seen a foreign internet company that has made it big in China," Andrew Teoh, managing partner of Ameba Capital, told The Wall Street Journal.
China, once a target for the West, is now quite the opposite
But while China still looks like a very attractive — even if frustratingly out of reach — opportunity for Western companies, pumped full of VC dollars, the view from Beijing looks very different. With China's huge cash mountain, (its current account balance was estimated by the World Bank to be $330bn in 2015), it's no longer happy simply to be a target for Western companies, instead its tech sector is expanding heavily.
Speaking earlier this year, Baidu CEO Robin Li, made it clear the Chinese search giant is not content to stay in China, counting its cash. And Europe is looking increasingly attractive.
"I think eventually we will go into Europe, U.S. and then many other places," Li said during a tech event in Paris. "We are in a number of countries, but we need to find a new battleground. Search is maturing, and mobile is very different from desktop. We need to find ways to access this kind of new market."
Historically Baidu has typically operated in developing nations, with operations in nearby Indonesia and Thailand, as well as in Brazil.
Quite what Baidu will do in Europe is unclear. Google dominates search, with over 90% of market share. Russia's Yandex, while significant in its local market and some CIS countries, has barely made an impact on Turkey, languishing with a single digit market share, despite having been in the country for five years.
Chinese brands invading foreign markets
However, Baidu isn't alone. Online marketplace giant Alibaba has appointed country managers in the UK and Italy and Alipay announced earlier this year that it was setting up operations in Europe, for now targeting Chinese tourists dealing with Western merchants.
China's telecom equipment and handset maker Huawei has long seen Europe as a strong alternative to the US where security concerns have plagued relations. While the company has been blocked from US markets over fears of "back doors" in their cell tower and routing technologies, Europe has embraced the Shenzhen-based company, and it in turn has returned the love.
"Europe is an open, welcoming place to do business and it is becoming more and more like a second home market for Huawei," William Xu, Huawei's chief strategy-marketing officer told The Wall Street Journal.
The company has deals with Volkswagen and German camera maker Leica, and last year announced a global research centre focused on innovation in aesthetics and design in Paris, as part of a $600 million expansion in to France. It bought Neul, the Cambridge Internet of Things company in 2015, and announced a £5m investment into the University of Surrey's 5G Innovation Centre.
Nor is it just Europe that is benefiting from China's tech expansionism — Israel, once described as "Silicon Valley for the rest of the World", has established itself as a key ally of Beijing.
Shortly after Alibaba's IPO in 2015, the company invested in Visualead, the Israeli startup that creates "designer" QR codes. Baidu bought into Israeli startup Pixellot and led a $5m investment round in Israeli music education startup Tonara.
Furthermore Israel is fast becoming a key market for Chinese investors. In 2015, Chinese VC investments in Israel, predominantly in its successful tech sector, stood at some $1.77bn, roughly 40% of total venture capital investment in Israel. Cortica , an Israeli photo identification start-up, raised $20m, most of which came from one of China's big four Internet companies.
Horizon Ventures, the venture capital fund of Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing, is now among the most active venture firms in Israel. It has invested in more than 25 start-ups in Israel in the last three years.
So while US tech companies continue to throw money at China in the hope that one of them will find the golden key to unlock the huge spending power of China's emerging middle class — analysts McKinsey estimate Chinese consumers have $5tn to spend — China's home-fuelled tech successes are using that cash to target Western tech companies.
We can expect to see a different set of statues in future.

"An attempt to announce sanctions would end in a crash for the financial system of the United States, which would cause the end of the domination of the United States in the global financial system." - Sergei Glazyev, Kremlin aide, 3/4/14
(NSA Official) Plunkett told CBS: "Don't be fooled. There are absolutely nation states who have the capability and the intention to do just that," ie "literally take down the U.S. economy." If this revelation is widely discussed tomorrow morning, it could very well have a serious negative effect on stock prices. - Forbes, Some Foreign Nations Have The Cyberwar Capability To Destroy Our Financial System, NSA Admits, 12/15/13
Last Tuesday, the U.S. and E.U. announced new economic sanctions against Russia in response to ongoing Russian military involvement with separatists fighting in eastern Ukraine. These new stringent sanctions that are geared to impact Moscow's access to Western capital and the Russian oil industry came in the wake of the downing of Flight MH17 over the Donetsk region of Ukraine on July 17th.
Right after this new round of sanctions was announced, a sharp sell-off in stocks began on Wall Street with dramatic reversals from the psychologically important 17000, 11000 and 6000 marks in the DJIA, NYSE and DJ Composite indices, respectively:
However, the lack of really pertinent news to cause such a sharp drop, including a 300+ point plunge in the DJIA on Thursday, prompted me to wonder about how Russia might retaliate against the West for new economic sanctions. Beyond banning the import of some European fruit, Moscow has done little.
Such an impotent response from the Kremlin thus far seems a little odd to me given my supposition that Russia's emergent war on Ukraine is part of a large-scale plan to draw the West into World War Three. Surely more aggressive retaliation must be in the works.
Indeed, keep in mind here my Global Bipolar Hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, Western beliefs and expectations have been misled to irrational heights, represented by the DJIA peaking above the 17000 benchmark in July, for the sole purpose of a strategic upset by the powers of the East in the form of a surprise third world war.
While I've long emphasized that the form of that war will ultimately involve a thermonuclear attack on the U.S. and its allies, what I've failed to highlight is how the Kremlin's war plan involves using all fronts to overtake "world capitalism" including psychological, ideological, diplomatic, economic and political forms of struggle.
Nuclear war is a complex and many-sided process, which in addition to the operation of the armed forces will involve economic, diplomatic and ideological forms of struggle. They will all serve the political aims of the war and be guided by them. [Soviet Strategy for Nuclear War (1979)]In this regard, Russia has already been achieving great successes such as global misinformation campaigns to vilify America using media outlets like RT and al Jazeera and the election of Barack Obama as U.S. president.
But what of economic warfare? After all, if I'm right, the worldwide struggle between the forces of Communism and Capitalism never ended but rather took a dangerously deceptive new form with the purported 'end of the Cold War'.
It would make sense that part of the Kremlin's strategy is to effect the failure of the capitalist system to prove the need for a authoritarian 'socialist' new world order in place of Capitalism before nuking America to assuredly gain global dominance.
How might this be achieved?
As made clear in my "Manic-Depressive Man" thesis, I'm aware of the inherently cyclical, self-destructive dynamics of market economies. The question here is whether or not these tendencies might be strategically manipulated by Moscow to achieve the end of world Capitalism. Certainly the last major cyclical downturn into 2009 was a close call and little has been done to correct the failings within the system since then to prevent a far graver collapse:
But what if the Kremlin plans to give the global capitalist system a 'little push'?
In this light, please read TheBlaze.com article, 'Jaw-Dropping': Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Makes Bombshell Claim About Russia and 2008 Financial Crisis (and Why It May Sound Familiar).
Also see the Washington Times article, Financial terrorism suspected in 2008 economic crash. Here's an excerpt:
Mr. Freeman wrote the report ("Economic Warfare: Risks and Responses") for the Pentagon's Irregular Warfare Support Program, part of the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office, which examines unconventional warfare scenarios.
"The preponderance of evidence that cannot be easily dismissed demands a thorough and immediate study be commenced," the report says. "Ignoring the likelihood of this very real threat ensures a catastrophic event."
The report concluded that the evidence of an attack is strong enough that "financial terrorism may have cost the global economy as much as $50 trillion."
Because of secrecy surrounding global banking and finance, finding the exact identities of the attackers will be difficult.
But U.S. opponents in Russia who could wage economic warfare include elements of the former KGB intelligence and political police who regard the economy as a "logical extension of the Cold War," the report says.Finally, check out Kevin Freeman's web site, GlobalEconomicWarfare.com.
This is a little something to think about as the stock market reverses, along with misled global beliefs and expectations, from the "peak of Western Civilization" most likely reached last month...
"These financial wars are inevitable, and they're coming sooner than we think. We can hear their rumblings already. This is the beginning of World War III, and—God help us—we are not ready." - Kevin Freeman, World War III: The Coming Cyber-Financial Attack that will Shock America, 2/20/14
"In 2014, we face the imminent danger of a cyber-economic market crash that could wipe out $8 trillion or more of American wealth with a keystroke. It will make 1987's Black Monday look like a picnic." - Kevin Freeman, THE STOCK MARKET WILL CRASH AND IT WILL HAPPEN IN MINUTES, 1/20/14

Financial Analyst
Career Overview
Financial analysts provide knowledgeable analysis and advice to individuals and business with regard to investment options. Analysts investigate the performance and economic condition of various companies that have public stock or that have some other form of investment available. Analysts generally work for business banks, securities firms, insurance companies, pension managers and others with available investment funds. Some work for the business media.
Financial analysts may work on the "buy side," helping potential investors select good investments. They may also work on the "sell side," assisting securities firms and brokers sell their products.
Financial analysts at minimum have a bachelors degree in business, economics or a related major. Most breaking into the industry today have an MBA, often with a focus in a particular market sector or function, such as global investment.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the licensing body for the securities industry. Most financial analysts are sponsored by their employer, so the licensure comes after the employment has been established. Analysts can also become a Chartered Financial Analyst through the CFA Institute.
Current Employment
There were nearly a quarter of a million financial analysts working in 2007. Most were employed by large banks and businesses, based in major cities.
Job Outlook
Job growth is expected to be exceptionally strong for this profession. Growth between 2006 and 2016 was projected at 38%, far beyond the overall growth rate for job categories in general.
Salary Range
Lowest 10% $20.33 $42,280
Median Salary $33.85 $70,400
Highest 10% $65.87 $137,210

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has called for the Federal Government to quickly address plans to sustain and improve our health system, focusing specifically on the most cost-effective part of the health system, general practice.
"In the first 100 days of this new Government, all parties must work together - the RACGP, the profession, patients, and other stakeholders - to create the groundwork for generational changes to the nation's healthcare system," RACGP president Dr Frank R Jones said.
The RACGP – which represents more than 90 per cent of Australia's GPs with 32,000 members - has a short, medium and long-term vision towards a sustainable and effective healthcare system.
"Our goal is to strengthen the fundamentals of primary healthcare, which is the most efficacious part of the health system, and to improve the general health of our communities through better prevention.
"The first priority for the Government is the immediate lifting of the freeze on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) general practice specific patient rebates, a move which would cost $160 million per year - half the cost of private health insurance indexation. This will enable general practice to maintain the present level of excellence but is only a stop-gap and a detailed funding model for the future of general practice is an imperative," Dr Jones said.
"The RACGP has an actionable plan that if implemented will help to ensure Australians will continue to have an affordable, high-quality, health system."
Other recommendations from the RACGP include swiftly completing the MBS review and the removal of low-value items with the direct savings channeled into the indexation and new MBS items for general practice services.
Around 85% of the population see their GP each year.
"The primary healthcare sector needs long-term solutions and innovation backed up by appropriate evidence-based research to meet the needs of an ageing and increasingly complex patient population," Dr Jones said.

Last week, I went to two readings in Paris in the hope of
Ann Mah read from her debut novel, Kitchen Chinese, at Shakespeare&Co on Monday, attracting so many people they had to crouch on the higgledy-piggledy stairs of the bookshop. I enjoyed her vivid descriptions of family feuds played out over roast duck and Ma-Po tofu, and the friendly ease with which she later answered even the most exotic questions (the one about Pekinese dogs being possibly related to lions would have thrown me for sure).
Ann is a food writer as well as a novelist, and she cleverly used her culinary expertise to create a rich and satisfying event, at one point even passing around a jar of hot and numbing Szechuan pepper for people to smell and taste. I'm not sure Szechuan pepper would fit the Kurdish theme of my own book, but I love the idea of a multi-sensory reading and plan to
Antonio Caballero, the Colombian writer and cartoonist I went to see on Thursday night, opted for a more traditional format: no spices, no chapters from an unpublished novel, just a good old Q&A. Then again, someone with Caballero's stature doesn't need any special effects. Now in his 60s, he has written countless newspaper columns and essays but only one novel, Sin Remedio, which grew out of an essay about the difficulty of writing a poem. Set in Bogota, the story is chaotic, the ending farcical, and the entire book driven by the furious frustration of the protagonist, the poet Escobar, who is not even particularly likeable; and yet there are few books I love more. It's one of those novels I pick up again and again just to listen to the characters (stay tuned for some sample dialogue in my next post).
I had expected Caballero's event to be sparsely attended given that he is not all that well known in Europe, but oh, was I wrong. People were not just crouching in the doorway; they were queuing on the pavement. In the rain. Judging from the accents and mochila bags, most were Colombian, and they bombarded Caballero with question after question, the most pressing being: was he going to write another novel? Sadly, the answer was no. Sounding a little like Escobar himself, he said: "In great part it's laziness...It took me twelve years to write my novel, I don't want to spend ten more years on another one."
And also: He had said everything he wanted to say in Sin Remedio.

library kudos: princeton public library
Back from Thanksgiving. Token library observation: my goodness does the Princeton Public Library have a nice reference collection. (They've got the NJ and the US annotated codes, multiple copies, and someone's keeping up the pocket parts. Woof.)
The (lovely and recently built) library also inspired all sorts of ILS-related conversations. Remind me after the morning coffee has kicked in and I may even remember them.

Cutter number? But I…
McSweeney's list of library science jargon that sounds dirty.
You know….none of it sounded dirty before it was in a list….

I saw a review of a book (The Customer-Focused Library) that looked interesting, so I thought I'd get it from my local public library consortium, but they don't have it. So I checked my library-grad-school library, but they don't have it. Amazon's got it, though.
it seems that the secret is vaulted ceilings
These libraries sure are pretty: http://curiousexpeditions.org/?p=78

Update on Cushing's all-digital library
Update on Cushing Academy, the school that ditched its print collection for Kindles &c — worth knowing about now that the academic year is underway. Some pros, some cons, not a lot of detail. Interesting that a wide variety of administrators, including a library administrator, are quoted approvingly (I wish I could've been around for that decision-making process). Depressing money quote:
Sophomore Elsie Eastman says she's here all the time now. "I remember last year I barely went to the library," she says. "I loved the library — I just barely ever went."

data mining for fun and…
That slideset yesterday was funny, so I've RSSed the guy's blog. Liked this recent post about data-mining your circ records. His university now has a recommender system (both "people who liked this book also liked" and "people in this course of study tend to like") and a course-of-study-specific search functionality (nursing and law students want different books when they search for "ethics"). Turns out the recommender service is very popular and noticeably increases how much of their collection circulates (which my little ROI neurons like). Also provides suggestions for refining large searches based on search data. And keep an eye out for the very clever acronym which will warm your heart if you, like me, were online in the early '90s.

Browse: Home / Mesothelioma / Mesothelioma Case Value
Label Mesothelioma
now, i can't write about narrative text again. But, i want write about mesothelioma. Remember, not Narrative Text :D
It is right for you to apply for any claim or demand, if you have been diagnosed with asbestosis or mesothelioma. Probably developed the disease due to exposure to the elements in the workplace. But before doing so, it is necessary to determine the value mesothelioma case. Would you be able to get, possibly, the compensation they deserve from the responsible company? Or just incur more expenses due to litigation?
An experienced attorney, competent and reliable mesothelioma should be hired to file claims and help fight for compensation in court. It is advisable to hire almost any lawyer. Instead, you should hire a specialist in these cases. A mesothelioma lawyer can effectively and appropriately will help determine the value of your mesothelioma case.
That could be trusted as an attorney. He / she has accumulated years of experience in helping victims like winning a case against the manufacturers of asbestos products. It is necessary to determine or confirm the validity of a possible case of mesothelioma value. There are several factors that could help build a case against an asbestos company.
First, the diagnosis of mesothelioma or asbestos would be necessary. This is because the condition could be a clear indication that in truth have been needlessly exposed to asbestos. The problem with this is that because mesothelioma and asbestosis does not cause any symptoms early, the disease may be terminal during and after diagnosis.
Second, their history effectively use could help identify the company responsible for its present condition. Exposure to asbestos does not immediately lead to mesothelioma or asbestosis. According to studies, can take 20 years or more before symptoms of the disease appear. Therefore, there may be a need to review their employment record length. This would be easier if you have worked with shipbuilding, construction, or an electric company before. These industries are known to have used asbestos in the past.
Thirdly, there is a need to look at your forecast. Any claim or compensation, provided that you may be used to cover all medical expenses mesothelioma. It may even cover the hiring of a caretaker in the home and necessary changes in your home (especially if some of the materials used in construction are identified with asbestos).
The value of your mesothelioma case can easily be determined by your attorney. This is important if you are deciding whether to file a lawsuit or not. If none of your previous employers are identified by the asbestos industry, the exposure may be incurred in a natural (ie, there may be deposits of asbestos in your community that has somehow been 'disturbed' through common human activities or climate).
The attorney will not only help you determine the value of your case of mesothelioma, but also explain the long and tedious legal process they have to endure. Thus, appropriate advice could be provided to you if you would proceed with litigation or simply agree to a settlement out of court, if offered the company's asbestos.
wait the other my mesothelioma article or narrative text article again
