Professor Eudine Barriteau of the University of the West Indies, was blunt and to the point in her recent Coppin address, summarized in the Business Report of the Barbados Advocate (May 19, p. B3) Prof. Barriteau noted that despite efforts by Bim's present administration to correct the country's economic ills the global (Neoliberal) financial institutions "will stop at nothing until Barbados fixed rate of currency exchange is adjusted." In other words, the vultures are circling and don't believe that even higher VAT (value added taxes) and terminating the economic lives of 3,000 citizens is enough.
Prof. Barriteau recalled that following the last Article IV Consultation on Barbados by the International Monetary Fund, the Government embarked on the retrenchment of public sector employees and the introduction of other measures to demonstrate its seriousness to the IMF regarding stabilizing key economic sectors. But after all the painful measures imposed, the Neoliberal Axis - including rating agencies - still remained unimpressed.
Perhaps a better analogy is to refer to the Neoliberal wolves at the door, ready to pounce on innocent Bajans and tear them to shreds like so many docile sheep. One must probe then what's at the bottom of the yen to devalue. And perhaps, just perhaps, there is more at work here than meets the eye.
The article 'Disappointing Performance' in an earlier Barbados Business Report Section of the Advocate News perhaps gave a few clues. Evidently the island nation has been hit from multiple angles at all its most vulnerable points.
Tourism, for example, was expected to lead the way to pre-2014 optimism but it was hit in the cruise ship as well as air travel domain. We learned, for example, that both long stay and cruise ship passenger arrivals fell by one percent. What was to blame? According to Central Bank Governor Dr. Delisle Worrell, a major contributor was the cancellation of direct flights out of New York by American Airlines and the reduction in seating capacity by Air Canada. In tandem the two moves caused arrivals from both markets to decline. Neither of these has anything to do with Barbados itself, but shows the island at the mercy of the airlines.
What about the layoffs of thousands of public sector workers which was expected to free up money? Actually, according to Finance Minister Chris Sinckler, it was essentially a wash given "separation benefits", He did say some savings would be seen in the "medium term". Well, one hopes some national benefit would accrue with so many sent packing- but not to the IMF, World Bank, and rating agency 'wolves'.
Then there is the sugar cane sector, which now is geared mainly to produce the molasses used to make Barbados rum. The problem? The cane crop was to have begun February 24 and surpassed last year's by 2,000 tons. The facts? The start of the crop was not only delayed until March but there was a crippling strike that resulted in several acres of canes being left in the fields and at transfer stations - contributing to financial losses the industry can ill afford - and a rebuke from a major Rum manufacturer for wasting time and resources for a critical industry. This one was definitely in Barbados' court but ought not to have been any deciding factor on pushing for a devaluation.
Now add to that the ongoing recessionary trend which saw a 0.6 percent contraction in the island's economy between January and March this year - following on from a 0.6 percent contraction between January and September last year and a 0.2 contraction between October and December last year.
Despite all this the outlook is for a 0.5 percent growth this year - not too shabby if it comes to pass. Will the Neoliberal finance monster be kept at bay? I doubt it., According to Prof. Barriteau:
"It seems the international financial institutions and other financial structures such as the rating agencies will only be satisfied when they force Barbados to abandon a fixed rate of exchange rate - and after it has been forced to dismantle the key components of its economic model of development."
Let's note that this model of development has been the ideal for the rest of the Caribbean as it has promoted social justice as well as less inequality than manifested in any of the industrial (OECD) nations. Prof. Barriteau's most stinging observation was that "none of the international policies that regulates financial and economic activities are designed to enable the private sector in the Caribbean to flourish."
She attributed this to aggressive trade protectionism and subsidies (such as in the U.S. for its own rum) that make it extremely difficult for Caribbean exports to compete. This means that NO amount of devaluation - even 50% or more - making Barbados' exports cheap (say its rum relative to U.S. rum) will incept more export sales.
Meanwhile the Barbadian people will suffer because a devaluation will reduce the value of their money but not the value of imported goods, including food, or the fuel that keeps vehicles running. Indeed, a 50 percent devaluation would likely be followed by a 100 percent increase in all food prices and likely more for fuel. People already struggling will be hurled into poverty and destitution because even the most draconian effort of gov't could not appease the vultures (or wolves) of the Neoliberal Reich. Why not?
Prof. Barriteau believes it mainly is from a jaundiced view that presumes money laundering and tax evasion, though "the Caribbean people don't want the Caribbean to be the epicenter of either."
She emphatically stated (ibid.):
"We never have and we never will be because it existed in other places. The Caribbean is not the epicenter of money laundering or tax evasion."
Is There Another Side to the Story?
But what if the Neoliberal predators are merely lying in wait for an already savaged-ravaged nation? This is the other side of the story, which is now making the rounds on the island and in its news media, especially the Barbados NATION. According to former Sen. Frances Chandler, writing in the Nation ('Sinckler's Leaking Glass') the current government - run by the DLP - and with Chris Sinckler at the helm, is raiding the National Insurance scheme (analogous to our Social Security) to the tune of $40m a month and replacing it with commercial paper (call it fiat money) at high interest. As she asks:
"What is the point, minister, when we sacrifice to help fill up the glass, but your administration seems bent on boring holes in bottom of said glass and emptying it?"
Sen. Chandler also referenced Central Bank governor De Lisle Worrell's comment that the recent Credit Suisse loan (at an exorbitant interest rate which saw B'dos bonds degraded) "wasn't needed and wasn't being used- it was only borrowed because people were panicking."
Worrell himself has said the Central Bank will stop printing money (read: finance some of government's operations) once the deficit reduces to 6 percent of GDP from its current 11.3 percent. Meanwhile, another letter writer (John M. Robb, 'Destroying Barbados' Model', The Nation, 21 May, p. 10A) has basically accused the gov't of "destroying Barbados' economy" and putting it on a path to certain devaluation. In his words:
"Due to government's expenditure exceeding revenues there has been a sustained deficit the past six years - which some experts believe is too large and cannot be substantively reduced that easily.
In an effort to finance this deficit, which was the result of government's poor policies, government has encouraged the Central Bank of Barbados to print money to meet its obligations. This is a very treacherous practice which will put downward pressure on the Barbados dollar and if prolonged, could lead to a devaluation."
The sad fact is we may be even closer to seeing a devaluation than most believe. And if it occurs, the Barbados currency will never be revalued again higher. It will be forever in the maw of the Neoliberal jackals and vultures - picking over its bones endlessly.
That any government of the island nation could have been responsible for this sorry end is more than most of us can even contemplate. But we have to recall the same gov't was at the forefront when the last crisis hit - in 1991- in the wake of trying Reaganomics in 1986.

I also have to give a shout-out to Renee C., who rocks her dazzling artistic flair for every contest. How cute are these City Love earrings she made?
Some other winning things have been going down this week. Like fresh watermelon juice is finally in season! You know my addiction to summer fruit is fierce and unwavering. All winter I crave berries and melon and peaches and plums and nectarines and cherries so hard I don't even know what to do with myself. The struggle is real, people. I'm so addicted to watermelon juice that I had to make Rosanna from City Love addicted to watermelon juice, too. When I was at Chelsea Market with my friend Paula and she saw this sign, I freaked out:
See, this is why it's good to put your dreams out into the universe. Paula and I were having lunch at Bubby's (which I adore so much I featured Bubby's in book one and book two of the City Love series) right before and I was telling her how excited I was about watermelon. Especially the ginormous ones you can get for like $3.99 at Wegmans. If I hadn't been telling her how stoked I was for my summer of watermelon juice, she wouldn't have said anything about that sign. Want to know what I look like spazzing out over the first watermelon juice of the season?
Oh yeah. Summer is ON.
In other good news, the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation has awarded me with RAKtivist status! The definition of RAKtivist:
You are a kindness rockstar. A random acts of kindness activist. You truly believe that kindness can change the world and you exemplify that in your day-to-day life.

I will leave you with this warm fuzzy, spotted from the High Line. Three more of my favorite things…all together. If you believe that love is the answer, you are totally winning.
Spread the city love, friendly neighbors ❤

Transformation tops IBM's Gitex agenda
The transformation of the IT industry will be at the heart of IBM Middle East's presence at Gitex this year as it touts its on demand computing model.
The transformation of the IT industry will be at the heart of IBM Middle East's presence at Gitex this year as it touts its on demand computing model. Rather than lumbering end users with ridged IT purchasing cycles, Big Blue is offering flexible technology capabilities and e-business services instead.
By allowing its customers to take only the IT they need, IBM believes it can help its customers become more nimble and facilitate the integration of business processes, key partners, suppliers and customers they require to succeed in a regional market that is becoming increasingly competitive.
"In a networked world, on demand delivery will become essential for business survival. Businesses will have to do more than simply integrate everything inside their enterprise. They have to connect their enterprise with other enterprises, other business processes, other applications, and myriad pervasive computing devices," says Samer Shaar, general manager of IBM Middle East, Egypt & Pakistan. "IBM will show visitors to its stand a new way of looking at information systems, where technology is deployed as and when needed, rapidly and scaleably. We will demonstrate the industry's broadest range of vertical-specific business technologies that guarantee freedom through open standards, open source and web services and allow organisations to only pay for the performance they use," he adds.
As part of its on demand mantra, IBM and its partners will showcase their latest business solutions and e-business technologies at Gitex. Already confirmed is the industry's broadest range of PC, server and storage hardware, as well as integration technologies such as software and middleware for Windows, Unix, Linux and Big Blue's own mid-range and mainframe servers.
Stand visitors will also have the chance to speak to e-business consultants from IBM Global Services (IGS) and experts will be on hand to discuss implementation issues surrounding the design and management of end-to-end solutions. A special focus for Gitex 204 will be business consulting and technology services for vertical sectors, as well as outsourcing and on-demand computing services.
IBM will also have something for resellers, ISVs, system integrators and consultants visiting the show as it highlights its PartnerWorld marketing and enablement programme, which was originally launched in the region back in March.
As for Big Blue's hardware line-up, the vendor intends to showcase its latest eServer platform and solutions at the show. In particular, IBM will be telling visitors to Gitex all about its eServer i5 and p5 systems, which boast virtualisation capabilities and a powerful 64-bit chip, the IBM POWER 5 microprocessor.

By James McMahon
Where once the Railway Cup finals held pride of place on St Patrick's Day, now it's the battle for club glory, and this year sees another intriguing double-header at Croke Park.
The All-Ireland Club Championship was first contested in 1971, and the roll of honour since has seen the likes of Crossmaglen Rangers, Nemo Rangers, St Finbar's, Ballyhale Shamrocks and Birr lead the way in their respective codes.
However, counties, starved of success at national level, can at least point to a parish or locality within their boundary that have claimed the spoils on Paddy's Day. Loughgiel of Antrim twice landed the hurling title, while in football, Baltinglass of Wicklow triumphed in 1990.
Of course there were also the hard luck stories, with Roscommon's Clann na nGael losing four football deciders on the trot and Dunloy in successive years failing to bring home the hurling crown.
Defining images since '71 would surely include St Brigid's goalkeeper Shane Curran and his team mate Frankie Dolan in a rather surprising pose after their football triumph in 2013.
Who can remember the hurling final in 1989? Buffers Alley of Wexford were the victors and among their ranks was the legend Tony Doran. At the age of 43, he won a second All-Ireland title, 21 years on from claiming a similar honour with his county.
What about 1995? A heavy squall swept across Croke Park making conditions nearly impossible for the footballers of Kilmacud Crokes and Bellaghy.
The Dublin side, under the guidance of Tommy Lyons, emerged victorious. However, credit to all the players after battling manfully against the inclement conditions.
That was the past. But what of the future? Proposals to have the finals played in December have been put forward by the Football Review Committee (FRC). That would mean wrapping things up in one calendar year and the likelihood of the deciders being played under lights in Croke Park a few weeks out from Christmas.
In many respects it makes sense. Provincial winners would not have the wait of over two months to see further action and if marketed properly the GAA can gain added exposure well beyond the Sundays when Liam and Sam are risen aloft.
And so to the 17 March 2014.
A fairytale ending would be a victory for Mount Leinster Rangers in the hurling final – two years on from claiming an Intermediate title. They are the first Carlow team to reach a senior decider and are clearly there on merit.
On their way to a maiden Leinster success they saw off a fancied Ballyboden St Enda's outfit, before squeezing past Oulart-the-Ballagh in the final itself.
They booked their ticket to Jones' Road after holding their nerve to defeat Loughgiel Shamrocks on 8 February. Denis Murphy fired over 0-11 in that game and his accuracy will be crucial if Rangers are to be competitive today.
The club have been in existence since 1988 and comprise the town of Borris, along with the villages of Ballymurphy and Rathanna. Needless to say the excitement is building, with the squad determined that they are not in the final just to make up the numbers.
Speaking to RTÉ, Mount Leinster Rangers goalkeeper Frank Foley said: "We are going up to win. I don't train four or five nights a week just to go up to Croke Park for a fun day. We're all in it to win it."
Team captain David Phelan added: "I think we were 100/1 to get to an All-Ireland final. The players themselves don't worry about what other people think. We're only concentrating on our hurling and hopefully that will be good enough to get us through."
Facing the Rangers will be Galway's Portumna – a club seeking their fourth All-Ireland crown in nine years. The bookies have great faith they will succeed and have them in the book at a general 1/4.
Joe Canning is the star man for the westerners and was again to the fore in their semi-final win over Na Piarsaigh, with a tally of 0-09.
However, he was lucky not to see red after appearing to strike out against Na Piarsaigh's David Dempsey in the first-half. Canning received a yellow as his side went on to win by 1-15 to 1-11.
Canning's brother Frank is the Portumna manager and is not underestimating the challenge of Mount Leinster Rangers. Speaking to RTÉ, he said: "We are no better men than them and it's hunger and determination that will decide the winner on the day."
Canning is spot on in his assertion and there is no denying that the Carlow side have shown much heart and desire in getting this far.
However, that may not enough to prevent Portumna from taking the spoils. And what another notable achievement it would be for a club that only won its first Galway championship in 2003.
And so to the football decider and another Dublin v Mayo showdown as St Vincent's take on Castlebar Mitchels.
Vincent's are a GAA powerhouse in our capital city – with 26 county titles to their name – yet have only twice climbed the steps of the Hogan Stand on St Patrick's Day as victors. Names like Heffernan, Foley, Keaveney, Mullins, O'Driscoll and Doyle lay claim to their illustrious past.
The newer generation of Ger Brennan, Diarmuid Connolly, Tomás Quinn, Shane McCarthy and Ciaran Dorney are rarely found wanting for the cause.
Their semi-final victory over Ballinderry was hard-earned, but deserved. This after edging out reigning champions Ballymun to land the county title and a provincial campaign where the turnaround in matches was short.
After a 20-year wait Castlebar reigned supreme in Mayo again last autumn. Seeing past Corofin, St Brigid's and then Dr Crokes in the All-Ireland semi is proof that they have earned the right for a shot at the big prize.Their previous effort ended in defeat on the last occasion they were county champions.
Barry Moran was positioned at full-forward to good effect in the win over the Crokes and it will be interesting to see whether he'll be deployed there again or revert to his normal midfield role.
Ger McDonagh and Aidan Walsh also showed well at O'Moore last month, making incisive runs that often led to scores in a game where Castlebar finished strongly.
The Mayo side will hope to stay with Vincent's and then produce a winning surge at the business end again. However, the Marino outfit would appear to have the greater scoring threat and that should see them home, if only narrowly.

Zahira is still the victim :
The Times of India
10 November 2004
Times News Network
Mumbai : "Zahira is not the culprit. She was
the victim at the start of the trial. She is still the victim." activist
Teesta Setalvad said here on Tuesday.
She was speaking at a meeting held by several
organisations from across the state to express solidarity with her and her
partners in the cause. The meeting came in response to the doubts cast
over SetalvadÂ's credibility after the star witness in the Best Bakery
case, Zahira Sheikh, alleged that Setalvad was pressurising her: "We need
to see Zahira not as a villain, but as a victim," said lawyer Mihir Desai.
Speakers from social groups, trade union leaders and film-makers urged the
public to understand the circumstances under which the 20-year-old had
turned hostile.
WomenÂ's rights activist Flavia Agnes said it
was not a fight between two women, Teesta and Zahira, but one of justice
versus injustice. "There are many more players who we need to identify in
this case. There is a right-wing government, a biased police force, an
extremely slow judicial system, and hostile members of both communities,"
said Agnes, adding that there was no need to judge Zahira, but an urgent
need to change the entire system of justice delivery.
Setalvad told the gathering that the accounts
of her group, Citizens for Justice and Peace, were transperent, and were
open to scrutiny. She was reacting to allegations made shortly after
ZahiraÂ'a statement in Gujarat that in functioning of NGOs should be
probed. "What about probing the two most opaque NGOs in the country – the
Bajrang Dal and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad?" asked Desai.
Ram Punyani of the peopleÂ's group, Ekta,
suggested that citizens attend the court hearings to extend their support
and sympathy to the witnesses, who is the absence of a proper
witness-protection scheme were subject to all manner of pressures and
Justice (retd) Hosbet Suresh emphasised that
the case of the prosecution remained strong, and that the retrial and the
supreme courtÂ's order to move the case of Maharashtra had not taken place
because of Setalvad, but because of ZahiraÂ's own appeals to the judiciary
and to the Human Rights Commission, as well as the irregularities that
were evident in the Gujarat courtÂ's handling of the case, in which all
the accused were acquitted.
Justice Suresh warned that under section 145
of the Evidence Act, the judge could confront Zahira with her previous
statements, and that the court could slap contempt of court charges on
those who had prevented her from deposing in Mumbai..

While a little more than half of Hungarians are apparently critical towards the policies of Brussels, the majority remain committed to the European Union, and would vote to stay should a referendum ever be held on the matter, according to Hungarian online news portal index.hu, citing a survey by the government-friendly Nézőpont Institute.
The survey, carried out on the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome that created the European common market, showed that 66% of respondents said they believe "things are headed rather for the worse in Europe," while 56% said they were "rather unsatisfied" with the work of "Brussels' EU leadership."
Index.hu suggests that this ratio of criticism could well be the result of the Eurosceptic approach of governing party Fidesz, as the party has been increasingly vocal in criticizing Brussels.
At the same time, however, 73% of respondents said that Hungary should not leave the EU. Of the rest, some 12% of respondents said Hungary should leave, while the remaining 15% were either undecided or declined to answer.
In November, a Medián survey revealed that if Hungary had organized a referendum on quitting the EU, 74% would have cast their votes to stay. Following Brexit last year, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that Hungary would not hold such a referendum, and yet he has remained vocal about 2017 being the year when "Brussels must be stopped," index.hu noted.

In 1986, the Russian pianist Vladimir Horowitz gave a recital in Moscow after many years in exile. Gorbachev's Glasnost and Perestroika allowed for the visiting of major exiled intellectuals such as Solzhenitsyn or Horowitz.
In this historic performance, and specifically during his encore, the camera captures the deep russian nostalgia and the love of its people for beauty and music.

Joan Massagué received his Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry from the University of Barcelona in 1978. He joined the faculty at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1982. In 1989 he became the Alfred P. Sloan Chair in Cancer Biology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He is also Professor, Weill-Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences, and Adjunct Director, Barcelona Institute for Research in Biomedicine.
Dr. Massagué is a world leader in the signaling pathways and transcriptional programs that regulate normal cell behavior and cancer metastasis. He provided a direct explanation for how external signals block mammalian cell division. He identified the TGF receptors, their mechanism of signal transduction, and the central concept of how this pathway controls the cell cycle through CDK inhibitors, and cell fate through chromatin readers. These mechanisms are now known to be crucial in embryonic development, and their disruption causes congenital disorders and cancer. Dr. Massagué recently identified genes and mechanisms of metastasis to different organs, providing a new conceptual basis for the metastatic process. This work is opening new avenues for the treatment of cancer.
Dr. Massagué is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the European Molecular Biology Organization. Noteworthy recognitions include the Passano Prize, the Vilcek Prize, the BBVA Frontiers of Science Prize, the Pasarow Prize, and the Prince of Asturias Prize.

When your life gets relocated, especially as a child, simple daily aspects of culture like meals and snacks can be daunting obstacles that make you feel isolated in your new surroundings.
For refugees who undergo the terror and chaos of escaping war and seeking asylum, such barriers can be even more dispiriting and make it hard to ever feel like you're truly home.
A new ad for Dutch grocer Plus Supermarkets from agency JWT Amsterdam builds a story around this premise, showing how a young Syrian boy named Ismail adapts to his new life in The Netherlands. While schoolyard soccer comes easy, everything else is a new experience. But soon Ismail is building a bond of friendship with another young boy, and food is often the catalyst:
Director Ismael ten Heuvel—who worked with the brand and agency on their emotional Christmas ad about a child of divorced parents—connected with the ad so personally, he named the protagonist after himself. In the spot, we watch as Ismail is exposed to Dutch delicacies like pickled herring with raw onion, toasted ham and cheese (minus the ham), and a deep-fried meat snack called bitterbal.
The ad's moments are realistic and relatable, avoiding melodrama in favor of simple and subtle moments where his expressions tell the story of a boy learning about the food his new friends have grown up with. And in a particularly lovely moment, we see the roles reversed as Ismail's friend Lucas visits his home to try Middle Eastern cuisine.
"Food and culture are intrinsically linked," says Bas Korsten, creative partner at JWT Amsterdam.
"And more than that, food has the power to bring people together. Even when they can't speak the same language. This was what we wanted to portray in a genuine and thoughtful way with our new film for Plus Supermarkets."

It's something that almost every football fan I've talked to agreed on. There was a very good chance that there wouldn't be football played in 2021. The Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire at the end of the 2020 season, and it looked like the two sides were gearing up for a long fight. However, signs this week are positive, with both sides playing nice.
The NFL and NFLPA started talking this week, and according to NFL.com reporter, Ian Rapoport, the negotiations started out quite well. He reported that things were "amicable and cordial", but it's still early.

Montessori approach found to improve wellbeing of people living with dementia
In 2014, Alzheimer's Australia Vic implemented a pilot project to evaluate the impact of Montessori-based activities on the engagement of people with dementia attending planned activity groups at two sites in metropolitan Melbourne. Researchers from the Australian Centre for Evidence Based Aged Care (ACEBAC), La Trobe University undertook an independent evaluation that has revealed an increase in positive engagement amongst participants.
Dr Jo-Anne Rayner, Senior Research Fellow La Trobe University said, "During our investigations we observed a number of statistically significant changes. We saw an increase amongst participants in constructive engagement, in pleasure and in helping others, as well as a reduction in non-engagement."
"When visiting the two facilities involved, we observed a palpable change in atmosphere as the project progressed, each of them becoming a hive of positive activity," Dr Rayner said.
The success of the program has resulted in the launch of new video resource 'Purposeful activities for dementia' which will assist health care professionals and family carers to engage people living with dementia in meaningful activities.
As part of the initiative, people living with dementia at the Baptcare Southaven Day Centre in Bentleigh and Grevillea House in Doncaster engaged in activities such as cooking, reading groups, gardening and dancing over a period of eight months.
Maree McCabe, CEO Alzheimer's Australia Vic said, "For people living with dementia, being involved in meaningful activities is important for wellbeing as it provides opportunities for social contact, as well as physical, mental and emotional stimulation. In turn, this leads to increased happiness, and affords individuals with a sense of achievement and meaning."
Michael Wilson, General Manager for Aged Care Operations at Baptcare said, "We have been delighted by the positive impact the Montessori approach has had on the clients who attend our planned activity group. We encourage all facilities to use the Purposeful activities for dementia resource to develop person-centred, flexible activity programs that focus on people's strengths, abilities and interests."
Debra Kowalski, Baptcare Program Coordinator at Southaven said, "The Montessori approach has truly changed all our lives for the better."
The new resource is based on principles developed by pioneering Italian educator Maria Montessori in the early 1900s that have been adapted to the needs of older adults. This approach recognises the importance of engagement that is tailored to the interests and abilities of each unique individual within their community.
Purposeful activities for dementia can be viewed here.
Funding for the project was provided by the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments under the Home and Community Care (HACC) Program.

The art of the personal project is a crucial element to let potential buyers and creatives see how you think creatively. Here's a glimpse of one project we have in the works, titled "Workplace". You really don't need to travel that far to find the right subjects to bring an idea to life. Do some serious research, then knock on a few doors with a friendly smile and you'd be surprised how many willing participants will agree to the idea. Then the project might just snowball as in our case – we're starting to lose count of our subjects. We simply love environmental portraiture. Images with a narrative. Characters's that make you want to engage and ask questions. This project is ongoing for us and centre's itself largely around our neighborhood in downtown San Francisco. A little sample below – we'll continue to showcase more in small doses.Read More

Congrats to our winners –
Alexandra T. and Carrie N.
A few months ago we did a "Get What You Want Giveaway" and it was a wild success. We planned to follow it up with another similar giveaway but the holiday giveaways took front and center and we decided to wait until the new year.
So, today we are launching a 3-day "Get What You Want Giveaway – PART 2"! That's right, we have $100 Amazon gift cards up for grabs and we will be handing them over to TWO lucky winners. We thought it would be more fun to split up the prize and let more people win. You're welcome.
Trying to get organized this year and need some things for the house? This prize works. You want one of the cool new 2015 strollers and would like a little help with the cost? Yep, works for that too. Even if you just want to get a power drill so that you can try to build your little guy a Firehouse Bed, this is the giveaway you want to enter. A heating blanket because you are freezing your bum off in this crazy January weather? Yep, that's fair game too. If you win, you can use the gift card for whatever you want or need! And if you need it, Amazon probably has it!
This giveaway only lasts a few days and will end at 11:59pm EST on Sunday January 11, 2015 so get to entering!


text: Clean energy growth rates will slow even as falling costs buoy renewable power technologies in the wake of last year's climate accord committing 195 countries to reduce pollution, BMI Research said in a report. Renewable energy capacity, excluding hydropower, is expected to increase 11% this year, bringing the total global capacity to more than 830 gigawatts, according to BMI, a unit of the Fitch Group. Growth will slow to 7% between 2016 and 2025 after averaging 21% from 2006 to 2015, Bloomberg reported. "The pace of growth compared to historic levels is slowing—in part due to base-effects, but also as mature renewables markets reign in support for renewable energy and adopt more sustainable mechanisms to encourage investment," BMI said, forecasting non-hydro renewable capacity of 1,436 GW by 2025. Governments are increasingly switching to auction systems rather than fixed feed-in tariffs to provide investment incentives, according to the report. Asian countries led by China and India are expected to attract the most new investments.

Bureau, New Delhi
For a brand to make extensive use of OOH to unveil something new about their product is akin to someone announcing their dream wedding to the whole town- that's the gravity of a campaign like that in the daily matrix of the Outdoor sector. One needs to be sure the announcement hits the right spot, the right audience, with the right colours, the right graphics, the right print: something that appears as a simple advertising exercise to the layman's eyes is no less than a dexterous craft.
The fizzy apple drink struck a chord with the public ever since it released its first series of advertisements back in 2005, starring a rather charming and comical avatar of the packaged drink itself. Ever since, the brand's journey has been one for the public and OOH media mavens to closely watch.
The Rs. 300 Crore brand continues the use of its distinctive black packaging, with an evolution of its logo developed to build a strong brand persona, attracting new consumers to the brand.
Building on the brief, Posterscope India crafted a campaign highlighting the brand's new bold, chic look that resulted in a media mix delivering both impact and reach. The media formats used were billboards, bus shelters, gantries, unipoles, bus wraps, metro pillars, etc. In an attempt to create impact, multiple creatives are being used across cities. The campaign has been executed in 30 plus cities that include the top 8 metros, the tier 1 and tier 2 cities.
The main objective of the campaign was to create reach and awareness. From arterial routes, youth hangouts, shopping destinations to residential belts, all were covered methodically using a mix of media formats to get maximum visibility. Posterscope made extensive use of its primary research tool Outdoor Consumer Survey (OCS) to arrive at the TG touch-points and its planning tool, OOHZONE, for zeroing on the right media placement location and plan optimisation.
Appy's campaign has been executed across 30 cities in India with adverts placed on billboards, gantries, bus shelters, bus wraps, metro pillars and unipoles.
Ashvin Bhatia, Associate Vice President, Posterscope Mumbai said "Parle Agro has always set new benchmarks in out-of-home usage. Every campaign has a divine objective. We used our own core understanding of the Appy brand DNA and our location expertise to arrive at an optimised consumer centric approach. We are privileged to be part of this iconic Brand".
Fabian Trevor Cowan, director for Posterscope India shared, "Posterscope's association with Parle Agro goes back a long time. We have deeply invested in this relationship and are honoured to be part of their out of home initiatives".
Commenting on the launch of the campaign, Nadia Chauhan, joint managing director and chief marketing officer, Parle Agro said, "The new Appy design gives it a contemporary and bold look and is being communicated with high impact campaign to create top of mind brand recall in the cluttered beverage category. Posterscope has been a trusted partner over the years and with this campaign, they have continued to help us set new benchmarks in OOH impact. Appy has retained its leadership position in the apple fruit drink category over the years and with the brand's first above the line campaign we are confident that the brand will be able to scale new heights."

Thanks to ComicBookMovie.com we get our first look at Russell Crowe (GLADIATOR) in his Jor-El costume for the upcoming Zack Snyder (300, WATCHMEN) directed Superman reboot MAN OF STEEL.
Usually I do not post pics of this "poorish" quality but it just looks so damn cool! Everything I have heard and seen about this project looks absolutely awesome and this sneak peak is no different. I love the subtle hints of blue and red that is reminiscent of Superman's classic costume, the medieval/sci-fi design, and the classic "S" on the chest plate. Very cool stuff!
MAN OF STEEL will be released June 14th 2013 which is WAY too long of a wait!

I am so sick of clergy sex abuse cases. How come the #MeToo movement doesn't apply in this context, fellow Catholics? I have my faith, but it's no wonder the Church is falling apart and membership is down in some localities. Fortunately, I was never abused there, but anyone abused anywhere can empathize with victims. There's not enough accountability being taken and itemization of funds being spent on legal fees. If this were government, it would be a more pressing issue.
Catholics are afraid of repercussions. But we cannot separate sin from crime here. Social capital matters more to some people than justice. Don't even think of promoting your platform until you learn how to treat some of our most vulnerable populations. Call me liberal, but too many Catholics are afraid to speak out against injustice because they've lost the ability to understand the difference between guilt and moral responsibility.
They're also afraid of losing their identity. This is why some people don't talk about such atrocities in their Catholic social circles. They're afraid of being ostracized by their friends and community. But we need to talk about this more, and we will.
