Mailing plan outlook: What's in store for the fall?
This summer many business mailers who are planning for the fall season have moved large portions of their list rental budgets from direct mail to opt-in e-mail. The cheapness of the channel and the quick turnaround time, in addition to the recent postal increase, are some of the reasons mailers are shunning direct mail pieces and using e-mail to solicit.
However, several list companies report that fall mailing plans remain robust. While testing is flat on fall campaigns, rollouts are as strong as ever.
"I'm looking forward to my clients mailing heavy this fall, with 90 percent of their plans focusing on prospecting," says Jonathan Pogact, director of business development at Mal Dunn Associates Inc., Brewster, NY. "Although postal rates have risen from last year, they're still sticking with their quantities on lists that have proven responsive."
Pogact says summer provides catalogers a chance to cash in on the school season, a time when parents are most likely to order for their children. In addition, parents are also looking to get a head start on the holiday season through pre-winter or holiday sales.
Pogact says lists targeting children ages 6 to 12 are hot for the school season.
"For those consumer mailers who had recently turned away from direct marketing in favor of broadcast this spring and summer, all signs point toward very aggressive back-to-school mailing schedules, specifically mailers in the retail and telecom sectors," says Matt Mader, vice president of database services at Teramedia, Orlando, FL.
Adjustments for postal increases
The postal rate shock for standard flats mailers has caused a great deal of angst and uncertainty in the catalog community, according to Ralph Drybrough, CEO of MeritDirect, White Plains, NY.
Budgets were reviewed with the effect of higher postage closely evaluated.
Now that the dust is settling, about one-third of MeritDirect's catalog clients have decided to make significant cuts in their original fall campaign budgets.
"Because general business conditions have been so strong this year, most catalogers are getting good results and this gives them confidence that the postage impact will be minimally negative in the big picture," Drybrough says. "If the economy wasn't doing so well the picture would be far grimmer."
Drybrough says there are more retention mailings among those catalogs that are cutting back customer-acquisition communications. Instead, they are filling in with more customer mailings to save list costs.
"They will have to be careful that they don't go into house file segments that are too old at the expense of good prospect list continuations," Drybrough says. "That's a delicate balance."
In anticipation of the Postal Regulatory Commission's request for a temporary 3-cent-per-catalog reduction in the new catalog rates through September, some catalogers shifted mailings previously scheduled for October back to September.
"This is easier said than done, as printers will have a lot to say about available press time and many of the big fall seasonal mailers have well tested mail-drop timing that they must be very wary about changing," Drybrough says.
The US Postal Service's Board of Governors rejected the proposal on June 19.
Catalogers working with list company ALC are using their marketing budgets for alternatives such as search-engine marketing and insert programs.
"Many mailers have indicated that they have not made any significant changes in volume due to the postal increase," says Britt Vatne, executive vice president of data management at ALC. "Publishing still is contending with first-time renewal issues and Web content. Many plans seem flat for the fall in the market."
There is more emphasis on reactivating older name segments as well as looking at opportunities to expand segmentation on core files. ALC has many nonprofit clients increasing their fall budgets. However, a continuing challenge for this sector is low response rates.
"Mailers are consistently re-evaluating their contact management in an attempt to mail smarter," Vatne says. "[Single-sender] acquisition mailings are still occurring, but they don't appear to be growing, especially in the nonprofit and catalog markets where co-ops have become a larger portion of the prospect campaigns. Some multi-title catalogs are altering mail dates to allow them to mail more books at one time and qualify for more postal savings. We are also seeing an increasing trend in co-mailings."
Many ALC clients are looking at advertising alternatives online. For example, they are building communities where you interact with your donor, subscriber or buyer. The creation of electronic white papers or newsletters, participation in Second Life and the possibility of buying ad space in XBox games are some of the options being considered and tested.
There is a great deal of buzz regarding Web 2.0, attitudinal and passion data use, prospecting and optimal targeting of youth.
Vatne says the biggest issue this fall will be the presidential elections and their effect on deliverability and customers focus.
"Given the early start to this political year, it may be difficult to predict trends based on the prior presidential campaign," Vatne says. "All seasonality testing needs to occur this fall, and new testing in 2008 should occur in early 2008 so results are not skewed by the over 40 million additional political pieces in the mail stream."

Re: Jersey City officials to host public meeting on crime concerns
Jersey City mayor and police chief to address public's public safety concerns at meeting Thursday
February 28, 2012, 3:00 AM
By Terrence T. McDonald/The Jersey Journal
Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy and Police City Tom Comey are hosting a public meeting this Thursday to address public-safety issues, and to unveil the city's new Community Response Team.
It will be the first of two "town hall-type" meetings city officials pledged to hold in response to a recent wave of complaints about crime from residents and some City Council members.
The Community Response Team, comprised of the 17 officers promoted last week to detective, will address public safety and quality-of-life concerns, city officials said.
Rebutting the residents' and council members' complaints about crime, Healy, Comey and other city officials have stressed that FBI and State Police figures show a decrease in violent crime in recent years.
Comey said he believes the Community Response Team will help "narrow the gap" between how city officials view crime statistics and how residents perceive them. The team will stay involved in an investigation from start to finish, and will be able to brief the community when it can, he said.
"We're hoping that this will be a good step in at least narrowing that gap," he said.
In the meantime, city officials hope to add to the police ranks, which have been depleted by a wave of retirements, Comey said.
Thursday's meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the council chambers at City Hall, 280 Grove St.

Re: Bayside Redevlopment Plan
Jersey City has big plans for 100 acres on West Side along Hackensack River
Up to 8,100 residential units.
As much as 1 million square feet of office space.
Some 23 acres of open space.
Those are just some of the proposed features of Bayfront, a transit village set for 100 acres of chromium-tainted land along Route 440 in Jersey City. City officials hope their success in developing Jersey City's eastern waterfront can be replicated on its West Side.
Captain Bill Sheehan, of Hackensack Riverkeeper, an environmental organization, said Bayfront will give the city "a real shot in the arm."
Sheehan was on hand earlier this month for a City Council caucus at which city officials presented the governing body with their latest plans for the 100-acre Bayfront, a project first dreamed up during the Glenn D. Cunningham administration.
The development would sit on land formerly owned by Morristown-based Honeywell International Inc, north of Society Hill, along the Hackensack River. Last month marked the four-year anniversary since the city teamed up with Honeywell to create Bayfront.
"Bayfront represents an extraordinary effort among numerous city officials and our partners at Honeywell to transform the West Side by making it safer and more attractive, while also creating substantial economic development, jobs, and tax revenue for our city," Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy said in a statement.
Chromium contamination at the site has its roots in the late 19th Century, when Mutual Chemical Co., a Honeywell predecessor, started piping chromium processing residue from its plant into the Hackensack River.
Construction isn't expected to begin until 2016, with initial occupancy beginning the following year. Though work is not scheduled to end until 2043, the city is already at work preparing the area for the massive development.
City officials say much of the contamination has been remediated.
The on-site headquarters for the city Department of Public Works and the Jersey City Incinerator Authority, meanwhile, will be demolished, as will a handful of other buildings used by the city and the JCIA. The DPW and the JCIA will move to a new East Linden Avenue complex, with construction on that facility expected to begin this year.
Councilman Michael Sottolano, who represents Ward A, where most of the Bayfront property sits, has called the plans "dynamic."
"I don't know if it's all going to be done in my lifetime, but I sure hope so," Sottolano said.

Heights: Burglary suspect breaks ankle fleeing neighbor's Jersey City apartment
Burglary suspect breaks ankle fleeing neighbor's Jersey City apartment, police say
By Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal
A Jersey City man was arrested after fracturing an ankle in a jump from a window while fleeing an alleged burglary of his 99-year-old neighbor's apartment this morning, police said.
Orlando Vasquez, 51, of the 100 block of Summit Avenue, was arrested at 11:27 a.m. and charged with burglary and theft after jumping out the window of the 99-year-old victim, reports said.
The victim, who lives in the same apartment building as Vasquez, told responding officers he heard noises on the other side of his apartment door when he returned home, reports said. He opened the door, ran into his apartment and said he saw his neighbor jump out his bedroom window, reports said.
Vasquez had dropped from the first-floor window and into a deep external staircase where he broke his right ankle upon impact, reports said. The cops kept an eye on Vasquez until an ambulance arrived and he was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center, reports said.

Re: 15-year-old Jersey City boy charged in fatal stabbing of man with 'machete-type' knife in the Height
Jersey City man charged in machete-murder held on $500K bail
The only adult among five people charged in a gang-related Jersey City Heights machete murder made his first appearance on the charges today and his bail has been set at $500,000 cash or bond.
Joel Santos, 18, of Palisade Avenue, is charged in the Feb. 8 murder of Victor Martinez, 21, of Waverly Street, who was fatally stabbed in an attack on Palisade Avenue at Prospect Street, Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said.
The attack continued as Martinez ran to his nearby home, and he died a short time later died at Christ Hospital, DeFazio said.
Santos was nabbed on Feb. 12 while trying to board a flight to the Dominican Republic, and a 15-year-old Dickinson High School student was arrested soon after the fatal stabbing, officials said.
Another 15-year-old Jersey City boy, as well as a Brooklyn 16-year-old boy who is formerly of Jersey City, have also been arrested. All are charged with murder as accomplices in the attack, DeFazio said.
The prosecutor said his office plans to ask that the 15-year-old charged shortly after the murder be prosecuted as an adult, subjecting him to a potentially far more lengthy term of incarceration if convicted. A Hudson County Family Court judge will make the decision.
Santos spoke through a Spanish translator when he appeared in Central Judicial Processing Court in Jersey City via video link from Hudson County jail in Kearny today. The native of the Dominican Republic was told that if convicted, he will likely be deported after serving his sentence.
Santos was also told that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement will likely place a detainer on him, meaning that even if he pays the $500,000 bail, he will not be freed.

Eight candidates vying for three open seats on Jersey City Board of Education
Eight candidates vying for three open seats on Jersey City Board of Education; race will be incumbent-free
The Jersey City Board of Education will have some new faces come April, as neither of the two incumbents up for reelection filed paperwork today to seek new terms.
Eight candidates filed petitions today to run for three open spots on the nine-member body, and neither Bill DeRosa nor Patricia Sebron, both incumbents, are on the list. Sebron would have been seeking her second term, and DeRosa his fifth.
The third seat up for grabs once belonged to Assemblyman Sean Connors, who stepped down from the BOE after becoming a member of the state Assembly in January.
Former acting mayor Marilyn Roman, a longtime educator, has thrown her hat in the ring, because, she said, "our schools are failing."
Roman, 75, was acting mayor for about six months in 1992 after former mayor Gerald McCann was removed from office. She said it was difficult to decide to re-enter the public arena.
"I wasn't happy about running for office when I did it, I just wanted to do the work," Roman said. "I thought perhaps I could help the district."
Other candidates running in Jersey City's BOE race this year include Jayson H. Burg, Vidya Gangadin, Amanda Khan, Frank Lorenzo, Gerald M. Lyons, De Jon Morris and Sangeeta Ranade. Burg, Gangadin and Khan ran unsuccessfully last year.
Asked to comment, DeRosa said he is having "health issues," and doesn't believe he could campaign this year the way he'd like to. DeRosa has been on the board of 12 years, nine as president.

Most violent crimes are down in that three-year span, though murders are up from 20 in 2007 to 26 in 2010, the last year for which the figures are available. Jersey City police says there were 18 homicides in 2011.

Re: HUGE GAS PIPELINE COMING - through Jersey City
Kill time
City, activist group map out plan if pipeline gets federal approval
by E. Assata Wright - Hudson Reporter staff writer
Jersey City officials and activists who oppose a proposed natural gas pipeline that could be routed through the city are beginning to publicly map out how they plan to block the controversial project if federal authorities give it approval this summer.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is currently reviewing an application by the Texas-based Spectra Energy to build a miles-long natural gas pipeline that could be routed through much of Jersey City and near sensitive infrastructure. FERC has said it will issue a final Environmental Impact Statement on the project by March 16. The agency is expected to approve or deny the project by June 14.
City officials and No Gas Pipeline, an anti-pipeline membership organization comprised of Jersey City residents, say they expect FERC to approve the pipeline, over the objections of elected leaders, many residents, the real estate and business communities, and health and public safety professionals.
Should FERC approve the pipeline, as the agency is expected to do, No Gas Pipeline and the city have each said they will sue in federal court to block the project. Part of their plan, they said last week, is to delay construction as long as possible. A lengthy delay could force Spectra or its chief partner in the project, Consolidated Edison (ConEd), to abandon their plans.
Proposed project
If approved by FERC, the proposed pipeline would include 19.8 miles of new and replacement pipes, six new stations, and other related modifications in Linden, Jersey City, and Bayonne. In Jersey City, the underground pipeline route would run through nearly every municipal ward and near such sensitive areas as Jersey City Medical Center, several schools, the Holland Tunnel, the New Jersey Turnpike, and transportation infrastructure near the Jersey City-Hoboken border.
The pipeline would cross the Hudson River into New York to connect the company's existing pipeline to Manhattan and Staten Island, supplying customers of Con Edison.
Spectra has also said that it will supply energy to power facilities operated by Bayonne Plant Holding and boilers at the International Matex Tank Terminals, also in Bayonne.
But because of the pipeline's close proximity to sensitive areas, local activists and city officials have argued that a natural gas explosion could cause mass casualties and significantly damage important transportation infrastructure. Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy has also noted that the potential hazards posed by a gas pipeline could hurt future commercial and residential development in the city.
Despite these concerns, the energy company has already received several required environmental permits from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. These permits were approved in December.
Preparing for approval
Assuming FERC approves the pipeline this summer, the city will have 30 days to appeal the ruling, according to Derek Fanciullo, associate corporation counsel for the city.
FERC can take a second look at its original decision, but will likely approve the pipeline again and grant Spectra a building certificate.
Jersey City – and other entities that filed as interveners – then have 60 days to file lawsuits. "Interveners" are people, organizations, businesses, or municipalities that filed for intervener status with FERC. Having intervener status gives these entities the right to sue.
The most visible organization likely to file a class action lawsuit is the nonprofit No Gas Pipeline, an activist group of residents that has been fighting the Spectra pipeline for two years. The organization has already lined up pro-bono legal representation to assist in their fight if the project is approved by FERC.
"We have to sue in federal court. There are absolutely no other ways to stop this pipeline from going through Jersey City [if FERC gives approval]," said No Gas Pipeline co-founder Dale Hardman. "It can't be done at the presidential level. It can't be done at the Congressional level. It can't be done at the lobbyist level…The city obviously has legal standing to file suit. No Gas Pipeline will try to get legal standing to do the same thing. People may ask, why don't we join forces? It's simple. We each have our own strategies, both technical and tactical. Plus, the ability to have at least two parties with lawsuits is something that is obviously beneficial to us."
Thousands of residents, community organizations, and businesses are believed to have filed for intervener status. The city of Hoboken has also filed for intervener status.
Hudson County's construction unions have been supportive of the project and could play a role as well.
Lawsuits are part of a two-prong approach opponents of the pipeline plan to use to block the project from breaking ground, after federal approval. The other part of their emerging strategy will be to stall the project in the hope that schedule delays will doom its viability.
Stall, stall, stall
ConEd expects to have natural gas flowing from the Spectra pipeline in November 2013. Even Spectra has conceded that if the project can't meet this target date it might not be economically feasible to move forward with it.
In order to meet this deadline, Spectra needs to break ground at the end of this year.
A lengthy court battle could derail Spectra's ability to meet its obligations to ConEd, a fact not lost on Jersey City.
"The longer we draw this out, the better it is for us," said Fanciullo. "Maybe the problem will naturally abate, so to speak."
Citing documents submitted to FERC, Fanciullo said Spectra is already making contingency plans should pipeline construction be delayed until next year. "What they have done is they have asked FERC to allow them to truncate their construction schedule to meet those deadlines," he said.
Already, the city has purposely blocked some necessary preliminary work. For example, last year Spectra requested city permits to conduct soil samples in Jersey City. The city denied this request.
In 2009, when the ConEd-Spectra deal was announced, ConEd President and CEO Kevin Burke said in a press release, "The new pipeline will help us meet the growing energy needs of our area, strengthen the reliability of the natural gas system, and improve air quality for all New Yorkers. The Spectra Energy Project will also help us achieve the goals of the mayor's and governor's long-term energy and environmental goals as outlined in PlaNYC and the state energy plan."
But how long will ConEd wait before coming up with a backup plan to get its natural gas somewhere else?
When asked whether the utility would drop its commitment to Spectra and re-bid its natural gas contract if Spectra gets embroiled in a long court fight, a spokesperson for ConEd said, "The Spectra project is essential for us to reliably meet growing natural gas demand in future years, particularly with the significant increase we are seeing in oil-to-gas conversions."
Fanciullo said there are a number of delaying tactics the city can use. However, the city has declined to publicly discuss some aspects of its possible legal strategy to prevent Spectra from having the information.
Marylee Hanley, a spokesperson for Spectra, said in response, "As has been true since the NJ—NY Expansion Project began, we will continue to reach out and work with the community."

Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy says new fiscal year budget provides for no rise in taxes
By Charles Hack/The Jersey Journal
Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy told the City Council today that the 2012 municipal budget will provide taxpayers with a flat municipal tax levy for the second year in a row.
The $469,300,340 spending plan, which is set for introduction at tomorrow night's City Council meeting, would represent a 6 percent decrease from last year's $501 million municipal budget. The amount to be raised by taxes -- $201,988,256 -- almost unchanged from what was budgeted for 2011.
"The proposed budget provides a flat tax rate -- once again -- for the year 2012, and creates a flat tax, which means once again no tax hike," Healy said.
Healy said the flat tax was accomplished because the city has seen increased revenues and lower costs since last year.
The mayor pointed to increased revenues from the hotel-occupancy tax, construction permit fees, payments in lieu of taxes and the proposed sale of police headquarters on Erie Street.
He noted that state funding is unchanged from 2011.
The mayor said costs are down because of last year's layoffs, a $6 million cut in pension costs due to "legislative reforms" in Trenton and a less-costly healthcare plan for city employees and retirees.
Ward E Councilman Steven Fulop said that Healy mischaracterized the so-called flat tax rate.
"Last year was the same. He said no tax increase, and when the final budget was adopted it showed another tax increase," Fulop said. "This time he has the tax reval waiting to clobber people after the election."
Healy stuck by his statement.
"The municipal tax rate did not go up last year and once again it will not go up this year," Healy said.
The budget will be adopted after a public hearing that is tentatively scheduled for March 28. Tomorrow night's council meeting begins at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 280 Grove St.
Re: BOE approves huge $268K settlement -- paves the way for Epps to leave in December
Jersey City Board of Education hopes to name new superintendent by April, consultant says
The Jersey City Board of Education is continuing its national search for a new superintendent and is hoping to select a new schools chief by April, a consultant for the search said at Tuesday night's Jersey City City Council caucus.
Carol Lester, vice president of the Jersey City Board of Education gave a brief presentation to the city council Tuesday night and asked for council members' input on the selection criteria for the new superintendent.
"We are looking for input from community members, and wanted to make sure the City Council, as elected representatives of Jersey City, have an input in qualification criteria for the search," Lester said.
The Board of Education has held six community meetings since November to get public input on how the new chief is selected. The next public meeting will be held at School 7, 222 Laidlaw Avenue Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
Franklin Walker has been serving as interim superintendent since Charles Epps Jr. stepped down from the position on Dec. 31. Board of Education members agreed to give Epps $268,000 to voluntarily step down after leading Jersey City's public schools for more than a decade.
Last year the board approved a national search and appointed West Hudson Associates and Hazard Young, Attea and Associates to conduct the search.
William Librera, a former commissioner for the New Jersey Department of Education, and now the executive director of West Hudson Associates, told the council that according to the Board of Education's "ambitious timetablem," final candidates would be interviewed by mid-April, he said.
Librera said the consultants want to advertise for a new superintendent in March and to interview candidates in early April.
Despite the fact that the state has final approval over the naming of a new superintendent, Librera said he is confident that the Board of Education will have final say over Epps' replacement.
"The state has made clear that this will be a decision that the Jersey City Board of Education makes," Lester said.
Hartz Mountain, Roseland Properties planning 1,000-unit residential building
Hartz Mountain, Roseland Properties planning 1,000-unit residential building on Jersey City waterfront
By Ron Zeitlinger/The Jersey Journal
Hartz Mountain Industries and Roseland Property will build a $450 million, 1,000-unit residential complex on the Jersey City waterfront in Jersey City, the two companies announced this morning.
Officials with the two companies said in a news release that the total size of the project at 99 Hudson St. will be more than 1 million square feet of rental units and retail space and is expected to create more than 2,000 construction jobs over a 5-year period.
"The waterfront in Jersey City features many compelling pieces, but it lacks a center," Carl Goldberg, partner in Roseland Property Company, said in a statement. "We see 99 Hudson providing the components that would turn an interesting area into a classic neighborhood."
Officials said in the news release the project, part of the Colgate Center, will be the largest rental project and one of the top five tallest buildings in New Jersey, but did specify how many stories the building will rise.
In April 2011 Hartz Mountain sold buildings at 90 and 70 Hudson Street for a combined $310 million. In November Hartz Mountain Industries bought the property from Bank of America for $35 million. Merrill Lynch, which owned the land at 99 Hudson St., intended to build an office tower there for back offices. Bank of America obtained the site when it acquired Merrill Lynch.
Officials said the development of the project is contingent on the revival of the state Economic Development Agency's Urban Hub Tax Credit (UHTC) residential program, which was suspended after depleting its $250 million allocation.
"We submitted an application several months ago that fully qualified for the UHTC program," Emanuel Stern, president and COO of Hartz Mountain Industries, said in a statement. "As we have seen through the history of the UHTC program, the economic climate -- especially as it pertains to financing -- will not permit a project like this to proceed without assistance.
"Our application to EDA for the UHTC program delivers instant economic impact and smart growth benefits that will last for decades, so we are hopeful this necessary program is quickly revived so we can commence construction."
Roseland Property Company manages Hartz Mountain's residential projects and is a partner in four of Hartz's residential developments. The project is expected to include "retail and entertainment on the structure," as well as parking for residents and guests, officials said

Snooki lookalikes compete in Jersey City bar close to set of Jersey Shore spin-off set
By Dan Rosenblum/For The Jersey Journal
As the "Jersey Shore" spin-off featuring Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley heads to Downtown Jersey City, residents looking to see the stars on their infamous nights out didn't have to travel too far.
One block away from the old firehouse where the crew is setting up a "Laverne and Shirley"-type apartment for the duo, local bar Pint hosted a "Night of 1,000 Snookis" Friday night that featured Snook-a-like and fist-pumping contests.
Before the event, Pint owner Wolf Sterling worked the room wearing a Snooki wig, but he admitted he ran into a roadblock.
"It's hard to get a polyester wig that matches a gray beard," he said.
Though some residents fear the show will lower the city's image, Sterling wasn't angry about its coming to town. "Those people suck," Sterling, 42, said of the show's critics.
Jersey City, he said, has no national image and the show would give the city a chance to show its vibrant neighborhoods. "What are they afraid of?" he said.
The event wasn't affiliated with the production company filming the show, but he said it got him more media buzz than he's had in the four years he's owned the bar.
Alexandria Kavanagh, 25, of Jersey City, was the first Snooki at the bar. She said people already mistake her for the reality-TV star and she only had to buy a few accessories before entering the costume competition.
Kavanagh said her mom saw the event in a newspaper and told her about the competition. She was happy about the show being in Jersey City.
"It's better they're here than Hoboken, because we'd appreciate it more," she said.
Ultimately, three Snookis showed up. Bar patrons packed around the impersonators, taking plenty of photographs.
Snook-a-like Liz Coschera, 29, of Jersey City, said she liked how the event both embraced and made fun of the show. To celebrate the contest and city pride, she shopped locally for her costume along Newark Avenue and at the Newport Centre mall.
During the contest, Sterling re-created what he called Snooki's favorite pastime by having the Snookis sit on the bar. He asked them trivia questions, including their favorite food.
"Pickles," the contestants yelled, showing their knowledge of the real Snooki's tastes.
Ultimately, Kavanagh won the $200 prize.
"It feels good," she said afterward. "My mom will be proud."

William Royse Lysaght
Revision as of 11:42, 24 February 2021 by PaulF (talk | contribs)
Born son of Thomas Royse Lysaght
BY the death of Mr. William Royse Lysaght which took place on Friday, April 27th, at his home, Castleford, Chepstow, in his eighty-seventh year, the British steel sheet industry has lost an outstanding leader, and the firm of John Lysaght, Ltd., a sure and trusted head, who successively served as managing director, chairman, and president of the company. W. R. Lysaght was the son of the late Mr. Thomas Royse Lysaght, of Clifton and Mintinna, in County Cork, and was educated privately. He joined the firm of John Lysaght, Ltd., at Wolverhampton, in 1878. It was in that year, we may recall, that Mr. John Lysaght, his uncle, who had started a galvanising business in Bristol in 1857, bought the Swan Garden Works from Thornycroft and Co., of Wolverhampton, and the Osier Bed Works from Messrs. Sparrow. W. R. Lysaght was appointed manager of these two works, and in the subsequent history of the firm he and his cousin, Mr. D. C. Lysaght, laid out and constructed the firm's new Orb Works at Newport, Monmouthshire. Later on the Normanby Park Works at Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, were built, in order to supply steel bars for the steel sheet mills at Newport. The move from Wolverhampton to Newport was made in 1898, owing to the great increase in the use of steel sheet, and eventually fifty sheet mills were running at the Newport works. The firm was also responsible for a remarkable development in Australia, where for some time the whole of the steel sheet requirements of the Commonwealth have been supplied from the Lysaght works at Newcastle and Port Kembla.
From the very beginning of this large and important business undertaking, Mr. W. R . Lysaght associated himself in the closest way with his staff and the men in his works. He knew intimately all in his works, and was looked upon rather as a father than an employer. In 1928, when he had completed fifty years with the company, the workmen entertained him to dinner to celebrate his jubilee. At that dinner he recalled the bad days of unemployment in the Staffordshire iron and steel industry and the improvements which had since taken place. His under-standing of his men engendered a mutual trust, and during his long career there was no labour trouble at his works. Some years ago his work people paid a tribute to him by erecting at Newport the W. R. Lysaght Memorial Institute.
For nearly forty years he was a member of the Midland Wages Board, and for a quarter of a century acted as Chairman of the Sheet Trade Committee. He was associated with several other steel firms, and was chairman of Joseph Sankey and Sons, Ltd., and a director of Bayliss, Jones and Bayliss, the London board of Broken Hill Proprietary, Ltd., Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds, Ltd., and John Carrington and Sons, Ltd. He became a member of the Iron and Steel Institute in 1888, and served as President for two years from 1933 to 1935. In September, 1934, he led the very successful visit of the Iron and Steel Institute to Belgium and Luxembourg.
In January, 1940, he resigned from the offices of chairman and managing director, after nearly sixty years with the firm. Sir David Llewellyn, the deputy chairman, was elected chairman and managing director, and Mr. Samuel R. Beale, the chairman of Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds, was appointed deputy chairman. Later, Sir Samuel became chairman. In view of Mr. W. R. Lysaght's great experience and knowledge, his directors asked him to continue his association with the firm in the capacity of president, which he continued to do until his death.
During the last war he served with the Ministry of Munitions, and in recognition of his work was awarded the C.B.E. at the close of the war. In 1915 he was appointed High Sheriff of Monmouthshire, and later became Deputy Lieutenant. In 1936 he was made an Honorary Freeman of the County Borough of Newport, in appreciation of the help he had given to the town of Newport. He also gained the thanks of Monmouthshire by his action in preserving the historic Chepstow Castle, and making it accessible to the public. This bare summary of his activities fails to do full justice to one of the outstanding characters in the iron and steel industries. He was, as his old friend Sir Samuel Beale has well said, "one of those generous personalities whose capacity for leadership contributed so much to the welfare and prosperity of this country." Whilst he avoided publicity, he was a friend to all those with whom he was associated in business, and, as he showed during his Presidency of the Iron and Steel Institute, had that personal charm that made strangers desire his acquaintance.

JAMES HORNER FILM MUSIC | January 15, 2021 |
JAMES HORNER FILM MUSIC
CHANTS AND SONGS
AWARDS / NOMINATIONS
PATRIOT GAMES: THE REVENGE OF A SCORE
Jean-Baptiste Martin
Founder of JHFM / Webmaster
What a lovely and fitting coincidence to have both scores composed by James Horner for the adventures of Jack Ryan released in extended versions within a month. Indeed, after Clear And Present Danger (1994) in June from Intrada, it was La-La Land Records' turn to offer us Patriot Games (1992), which contains more than thirty minutes of previously unreleased music.
This is an underestimated score and, despite its cold aspect (the horns and Tony Hinnigan's pipes and flutes are not present) and some less accessible electro-percussive parts, Patriot Games deserves a second chance. The strength of this new limited edition of 3,000 copies is its development of every aspect of the soundtrack, thus promoting a better understanding of its narrative structure. Expanded, the musical ideas are more consistent. Their meanings then become clearer and more explicit, while revealing James Horner's intentions.
War injury
"The Irish people. They are so unfortunate that they have always feasted death like a friend, and that no danger can move away from a funeral."
Pierre JO Chauveau – Charles Guerin: novel of Canadian manners, 1853
In London, Jack Ryan witnesses an assassination attempt by Irish terrorists on Lord Holmes, a cousin of the Queen of the United Kingdom. He manages to thwart the attack, but kills Paddy Boy, Sean Miller's brother, who will seek to avenge his death at all costs. Very few scenes in the film take place in Ireland and yet many musical colors associated with this country are present in the score. The reason is simple: beyond the fact that in Tom Clancy's novels Jack Ryan is of Irish origin, his adversaries are part of a dissident wing of the IRA, a nationalist paramilitary organization fighting the British authority in order to achieve their country's unity and independence. In the film, the rebels' attacks thus echo decades of strife and civil war, which have devastated Irish families.
This underlying suffering is reflected in the very first seconds of the Main Title through the sudden introduction of the bodhráns. The heavy atmosphere gets heavier when a melancholy violin is heard through two tense notes. This motif is an expression of revenge and death in their most frigid aspects and appears in the album whenever the Irish terrorists are featured. For example, it starts and closes this opening cue, expands alongside synthetic vocals in Sean's Interrogation, accompanies the scene where bomb makers are arrested (Arrest of the Bombers), and follows the search for one of the members on satellite images (Girl in Photo). Its coldest appearance is heard in Higland's Execution during Sean Miller's deadly escape from the prison on the Isle of Wight, as a violin plays with a pan flute and a funereal chant by Maggie Boyle. This orchestration will logically return two years later in the cue, Revenge from Legends of the Fall, to bind events of similar notions: revenge and death.
Highland's Execution (Patriot Games) – Revenge (Legends of the Fall)
When the coldness of death stirs the fire of revenge.
The Main Title maintains a heavy atmosphere with a traditional song, The Quiet Land Of Erin, by Maggie Boyle. This lament comes from a Gaelic poem written in 1750 by an exile, John McCambridge, who expresses his dream of returning home. It will be beautifully developed in the Closing Credits with the addition of a piano à la Thunderheart, a Hornerian touch in a folkloric orchestration. Note that two versions of the Closing Credits are included in this expanded edition: the album version already available in the 1992 edition that, placed here at the end of the second disc, offers the Gaelic version, while the film's version, placed after Boat Chase – Aftermatch, blends Gaelic and English lyrics.
Once the framework is established and the movie's title is past, James Horner can then bring movement to his music to follow the flyover of the forest close to the Ryans' house. There is a superb progression with the harps and the strings from which a first theme arises, played by two whistles (and which could have been the main theme, had it been used more often). This theme then flourishes with Maggie Boyle's voice during Sean's escape (Higland's Execution), already mentioned above, then gradually returns: in the middle of the album and without the original Celtic orchestration in Reading To Sally, in Sean's Midnight Call when Jack Ryan consults the police report on the escape, and at the beginning of the second disc (Boat Chase – Aftermath), during the final boat chase and its conclusion.
To finish with Irish colors, we must emphasize the importance of musical phrases played by tin whistles throughout the score. Indeed, the use of Irish flutes is not reduced to their inclusion mentioned in the Main Title, they truly serve the drama of the film. Witthin the second cue, Attempt on the Royals, they accompany shots of the Holmes and the Ryans, who will be affected by the bombings in London, and after the explosion they musically correspond to a sense of tinnitus. Associated with this key event for the rest of the plot, they come back to haunt Sean in prison (Sean Obsessing in Jail) when the latter pastes the photo of Jack Ryan in an article about the incident. Enriched with a reverb effect, they produce the effect of a memory that gradually consumes his mind. Thus, like an obsessive torment, they will haunt the attack scenes throughout the film, appearing when the killers responsible for eliminating Jack Ryan are shown on screen (The Hit, Assault on Ryan's House, Boat Chase).
The Irish orchestration is at the heart of Patriot Games. But unlike a score such as The Devil's Own (1996), where folk instruments provide warmth and conviviality, here bodhrán hits are aggressive, the lone violin is disenchanted, the flute notes are sharp… So many elements that give Patriot Games this austere flavor, this harsh and icy aspect that is ideal for a thriller.
A small private war
"The war is perhaps the revenge of animals we killed."
Jules Renard – Extract from his Journal 1887-1892
The four major action cues were already included on the 1992 album, but this new edition provides a fresh look at their construction and place with respect to the overall score.
The orchestral approach of Attempt on the Royals and Boat Chase is justified because these pieces support jack Ryan's actions, his values and his resistance to attacks made on the innocent and on his family. The synthetic material that is the essence of The Hit and Assault on Ryan's House is in alignment with the percussive, electronic, and dissonant orientation that James Horner chose to illustrate the actions of terrorists, and it is what we find in most of the unreleased tracks. It would ultimately be awkward to set an orchestral dimension to the small war led by Sean Miller, as his wrongdoings do not conform to any form of heroism and have only one goal: to harm and to eliminate everything that will stand between him and the American who killed his brother.
This musical foursome is rich in quality and forms the sparkling core of Patriot Games:
Attempt on the Royals starts on the last demonstration of humanity that Sean Miller will have towards his young brother just before the attack. James Horner manages to instill a constant dynamic by making this piece beguiling from the first listen. The work on the percussion and on the strings is quite impressive and heralds the dark Poachers of Mighty Joe Young (1998). During the exchange of fire between the terrorists and Jack Ryan, vivid strings and a riotous xylophone kick off a breathless musical phrase worthy of the orchestral jewel that is Coast Guard Rescue in The Perfect Storm (2000).
Boat Chase begins with imposing trombones announcing the final confrontation, somewhat in the way of Tournament Time in The Karate Kid (2010). Frantic strings and discordant chimes twirl to the rhythm of the storm raging at sea. Echoes of Aliens evoke the culmination of Sean Miller's obsession, ready to kill his own compatriots just to exact revenge on Jack Ryan. This is quite logical because when listening to three unreleased cues of the album, Sean's dark thoughts are every time highlighted by creepy and synthetic squeaks already experienced in James Cameron's film. We can hear such sounds in Two-Edged Monitor, which is not featured in the film; at the end of Trial Sean when Sean Miller angrily threatens Jack Ryan in court; then at the beginning of Sean Obsessing in Jail when the Irish terrorist feeds his revenge obsession. This last piece is also informative as we find the origins of the synthetic substance that form the mold into which James Horner will shape Arrest of the Bombers and especially the duo, The Hit / Assault on Ryan's House.
These two tracks are incredibly audacious. Their lengths make it possible to gradually intensify the suspense of each sequence they illustrate. When they start on screen, they immediately provide a palpable tension. In symbiosis with the images, the music starts and reveals the threat to Jack Ryan's family: The Hit starts on a shot of a terrorist's hand rolling up one of his sleeves to reveal a watch and a gun in the background; Assault on Ryan's House starts as Jack Ryan's hand draws a curtain, thus showing the public lighting that still works, and proves at the same time that the power outage at his home is not innocuous.
James Horner uses no less than ten percussionists and his faithful keyboardists, Ralph Grierson and Ian Underwood, to deploy a variety of raw sounds that add to each other. This may seem in disarray during the first listen, but appearances are deceiving because the sonic make-up carries meaning in each moment. Indeed, the great success of these long pieces and of the unique Cooley Escapes is to offer a multitude of synchronization points between the actions of the characters, cinematic cuts, and the notes, the percussion, and the synthesizers. There are so many of them that their analysis would require an entire article. However, let us return to the moment when Jack Ryan realizes that his family is in danger and rushes to his car: the acceleration of the pace that accompanies this action (The Hit at 3:27) is a thrilling moment of music set to image.
Russians at the CIA!
The Hit ends on the car driven by Jack Ryan's wife violently running off the road. Their daughter is severely injured. In the unreleased cue Hospital Vigil, James Horner has the opportunity to provide a tender pause, in which he holds a secret. The harp and the oboe form a moving duet when Jack is at his wife's bedside when she awakes, and when he tells her the injuries of their child (note that an alternate version is available on the second disk, which has bells added in the orchestration). Then double-basses follows the darkening look of the father's face, grimly determined to make every effort to protect her and stop the actions of Sean Miller and of his compatriots. The following lively bit marks his return to the CIA and calls out the same energy we will find two years later in Operation Dynamic Reciprocity of Clear And Present Danger. The conclusion of the piece called Studying Sean's File, at 2:40, starts the last axis of the score: the quote from Aram Khachaturian's adagio from the Gayane ballet (1942), which, in its original version, features a young Armenian woman whose patriotic convictions conflict with her personal feelings.
This is one of the composer's favorite references. From the interstellar void of Aliens to lifeless ruins of Enemy at the Gates, through Project X and many others, James Horner studied that movement so much that it is an integral part of his musical discourse. The La-La Land Records release shows us how much this quote haunts this score. By the third track (CNN News Report), it appears on the images of terrorists covering up their traces. The following part of that piece also evokes all the coldness and hardness of the strings that roam the city of Stalingrad in Jean-Jacques Annaud's film.
Then it accompanies all the research work performed by Jack Ryan at the CIA in Studying Sean's File, Putting the Pieces Together, Reading to Sally Two-Edged Monitoring.
Jack Ryan seems to tirelessly work day and night to find Sean and his accomplices who found refuge in a terrorist training camp in Libya. His investigation compels him to relive his memories of the bombings in order to recall any important clue: for example, the red hair of the terrorist Annette. The music is an ideal lullaby for the slow gathering of the various pieces of the puzzle in the American agent's mind.
Finally, the reference to the Gayane ballet completely dominates Electronic Battlefield, which accompanies the scene of the attack on the terrorist camp, observed via satellite video. It joins the burst of strings themselves referring to the Largo of Dmitri Shostakovich's 5th Symphony, a heartbreaking prayer for the victims and heroes of the revolution who died for their country, which has a legitimate place in this virtual and yet actual evocation of an armed conflict. Electronic Battlefield condenses James Horner's love for Russian music and marks the successful merger of two of the most beautiful slow pieces of the repertoire to brilliantly illustrate the coldness of the technological war.
Electronic Battlefield (Patriot Games) – Bluebeard's flight (Project X)
Technology in the service of detachment and indifference to death.
The composer is quite daring in finding inspiration in works from Russian composers to illustrate a story with US characters at the end of the Cold War. This is the composer's musical science which makes it possible for this transposition to work both on screen and as an isolated listening. The version of Electronic Battlefield without the ending electronic percussion on the second disc allows us to truly appreciate the classical dimension of this piece of music and its affiliation with the Soviet music that inspired it.
Sergueï Prokofiev, Dmitri Chostakovitch, Aram Khachaturian
The games have been played
Not everyone may enjoy the music of Patriot Games. The atmosphere of the film, its colors, its photography, its thematic elements leave very little room for warmth and immediate pleasure. And there is a logic that informs the score, lending an overly cold atmosphere. Its main quality is to perfectly fit the scenes of the movie by adding an extra soul and avoiding common pitfalls: boredom over time, American triumphalism, and sentimentality during emotional moments.
The Celtic instruments are real boosters of the drama, the action cues are complex in their content and in their approach, and James Horner's careful consideration sets to music the psychology of tormented characters. All these elements make Patriot Games a solid, audacious and rich soundtrack. Thank you to producer Dan Goldwasser for making us rediscover this score in such positive light.
We encourage you to give a second chance to this daring icy album, celebrating death and revenge; it will present itself to you with all its qualities and subtleties.
Note: one small reservation, however, on the organization of the album. It is indeed a bit unfortunate that Assault on Ryan's House, Boat Chase – Aftermatch and Closing Credits were not put on the first CD, in order to bring all the events of the film together on the same disc.

You need to call your dentist's office and let them know that you require attention. They'll figure things out, and take steps that will help to keep you more comfortable in the mean time.
You mention ".. had to drill to get it out took a very long time..."
Difficult, traumatic extraction are more likely to result in dry socket formation. We wouldn't be surprised if you have developed one. Again, the solution lies with treatment from your dentist.


Barkley has shared a new song, "Last Chance". Released on Swiss label Sirup Music, the deep house record is melodic and groovy in similar measure. The track's production is crisp and sharp and its sparse vocals add quite an exciting edge to the song. "Last Chance" imbues a chill vibe that makes it a proper soundtrack to that relaxed mood.
Barkley is a German electronic producer who has, in the past, received support from big names such as Tiesto, Don Diablo, EDX, Afrojack, Hardwell, Oliver Heldens and more.


The first round of the annual writing contest sponsored by BookLife and Publishers Weekly kicks off April 1.
Now in its fourth year, the BookLife Prize—a writing contest sponsored by Publishers Weekly and BookLife—will be accepting submissions for its Fiction Contest from April 1 to August 31, 2019.
All entrants will receive a Critic's Report, a brief critical assessment of their book written by a Publishers Weekly reviewer; the grand-prize winner will receive a $5,000 writing stipend and be profiled in Publishers Weekly. Additionally, the finalists from each category will receive a social media marketing package from BookBaby worth $1,000.
Last year's BookLife Prize-winner was the YA novel Ray vs. the Meaning of Life by Michael F. Stewart, who said winning had given him a sense of validation.
"When I entered, it wasn't with winning in mind," he said. "One of the best parts of the Booklife Prize is that you can win at every level, whether it's a good critique from a Publishers Weekly reviewer or a blurb from a respected author. It's validating on what can be a lonely journey, but also useful for marketing."

Герб Белфаста, нині столиці Північної Ірландії, був офіційно наданий 30 червня 1890 року хоча він використовувався від 1643 року.

Опис герба
Герб міста описується як "Party per fesse argent and azure, in chief a pile vair and on a canton gules a bell argent, in base a ship with sails set argent on waves of the sea proper". Детальніше: щит розсічено. У першому срібному півполі трикутник внизу із білячого хутра (вайр). У верхньому куті червоний квадрат (кантон), на якому срібний дзвін. Цілком ймовірно, що дзвоник є прикладом тут "промовистої" геральдики (або каламбура), що представляє перший склад слова "Белфаст". У другому синьому півполі срібний вітрильник на хвилях кольору моря (природніх). Щитотримачі - це прикутий золотим ланцюгом до корони на шиї коричневий вовк і морський кінь із золотою мурованою короною на шиї. Над срібно-синім буралетои такий же морський кінь.

У нижній частині герба є чорний латинський девіз «" на білій стрічці. Він взятий із Псалма 116 Вірша 12 у Біблії Латинської Вульгати, і це буквально "За (Про) стільки (tanto), що (quid) ми повернемо (retribuamus)" Вірш перекладається в бібліях по-різному - наприклад, як "Що я можу віддати Господу за всі його блага?. Це також перекладається як "Натомість за стільки, що ми повернемо?"

Історія
Цей герб належить до 1613 р., коли король Які І надав його місту статус Белфаста. Печатку з гербом використовували купці Белфаста протягом XVII століття на своїх знаках і торгових монетах. На великому вітражі у мерії зображено герб, де пояснення свідчать про те, що морський коник та корабель відносять до значної морської історії Белфаста. Вовк може бути даниною засновнику міста, серу Артуру Чичестеру, і посилатися на його власний герб.

Елементи, що складають герб Белфаста, також з'являються на його прапорі.

In a game filled with touchdowns, it was senior Brian Bruzdewicz's field goal with three seconds left that was the most important points on the night, lifting No. 3 Peters Township to a 38-35 win against No. 6 Penn-Trafford at West Mifflin High School in the Class 5A quarterfinals on Friday night.
The Indians advanced to the semifinals for the first time since 1976.
It was a back-and-forth battle the entire night with both teams scoring three touchdowns each in the first quarter. Peters Township jumped out to a 7-0 lead on a 6-yard pass from sophomore Logan Pfeuffer to classmate Corban Hondru.
Penn-Trafford responded right away with a 58-yard run by junior Caleb Lisbon.
The chunk yardage continued, this time for Peters Township. Pfeuffer threw his second touchdown of the quarter, a 71-yard strike to junior Josh Casilli.
The Warriors once again responded with a 2-yard touchdown run by junior Gabe Dunlap.
The tie didn't last long. Junior Aidan McCall returned the ensuing kickoff 88 yards to push the Indians back in front, 21-14.
Less than a minute later, Penn-Trafford used some trickery to tie the game back up. Dunlap delivered a five yard pass to junior Noah Allen who delivered a hook-and-ladder to Lisbon for 63 yards.
The defense picked up a little bit, with both teams holding the other to a touchdown in the second quarter. Pfeuffer threw his third touchdown pass of the half, a 10-yard completion to senior Gabe Maloni.
Lisbon and Dunlap combined to lead Penn-Trafford again before the half on a 74-yard pass to bring it to 28-28 at the half.
Both teams got a rushing touchdown in the third quarter, first from Peters Township. Junior Ryan Magiske rushed in from 34 yards, followed by a 43-yard run by Dunlap for the Warriors. That score set up Bruzdewicz's heroics, which were the only points of the fourth quarter.
For Peters Township, Pfeuffer finished 11 of 21 for 127 yards and three touchdowns.
The win improves the Indians to 10-2 and advances them to the Class 5A semifinal against No. 2 Penn Hills at a site and time to be determined.

If your business has drivers in Texas the state will require them to have Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) starting 12/12/19. The Texas ELD requirement is in response to the federal government requirement that states issue their own requirements for intrastate travel. Texas has many miles of roadways many of these miles are in rural parts of the state, the idea is to make roadways safer for everyone. All industries will need to comply including Limo, Moving, Oil and Gas, all types of trucking companies and many others.
More will be issued and clarified from the state about this rule in the future, as additional information becomes available we will post information. There will certainly be certain exemption allowed however most industries will be required to comply. We are all want our roadways to be safe and ideally you want a simply easy to use system that anyone can use.
Global Locator Systems of Texas has you covered when your ready to start comparing give us a call. If your company needs to meet the federal requirement this year we have you covered. Compare our system to others systems out there we are certain you will love what we offer both in product and price. We offer both ELD's and GPS Tracking we over a decade of experence with GPS Tracking. We offer a full range of devices and can certainly meet your needs.


The St. Clair College women's volleyball team travelled up the 401 on Wednesday to take on the Fanshawe Falcons in a battle for first place in the OCAA West.
The Saints got off to a slow start dropping the first two sets by scores of 25-17 and 25-16. However St. Clair battled back in the third set winning 25-21. The fourth set went back and forth throughout but the Falcons came out on top in tight set 25-23 to take the match 3-1.
Second year outside hitter Te-Anna Stephenson (Whitby; Sinclair Secondary) led the way offensively with 15 kills, 2 service aces and 10 digs. Libero Julie Ann Milling (Woodstock; Woodstock Collegiate Institute) had a great match with 13 digs against a tough Falcons offense.
With the loss the Saints fell to 11-2 on the season while Fanshawe improved to 13-0. Both of St. Clair's losses have been to the Falcons. St. Clair is ranked 2nd in Ontario and 10th in Canada. Fanshawe are ranked 1st in Ontario and 5th in Canada.
