Malaysian market for skincare to be worth $612.9 million by 2024
Vinny Halo July 8, 2020
The Malaysian market for skincare is on a growth trajectory over the next four years, according to a report issued by Globaldata.
SEE ALSO : Amorepacific partners with skincare RATIONALE
According to the leading data and analytics company, the Malaysian market for skincare is expected to grow from US$469.8 million in 2019, to US$603.5 million by 2024, for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%.
In the report, entitled 'Malaysia Skincare – Market Assessment and Forecasts to 2024', Malaysian skincare sales are currently driven by the facial care category, which is expected to record the fastest CAGR growth in value terms at 5.7% for the five-year period. Facial care is currently the largest category with volume sales of 95.2 million units in 2019. The category also led the sector in value terms with sales of US$398.2 million in the same year.
Last year, the per capita consumption of facial care products stood at 2.9 units in Malaysia; higher than other skincare products in the country, and significantly higher compared to Asia-Pacific and global levels.
The second area of future skincare growth toward 2024 is the make-up remover and body care categories, representing CAGRs of 5.3% and 5.2%, respectively.
"A high per capita GDP, one of the highest in the region, is aiding Malaysians to spend more on personal care products, including skincare products, thereby driving growth in the sector. There exist opportunities for manufacturers in all socio-economic strata, with the middle class seeking affordable multi-functional skin care products while considerable prospects also emerge for premium products from consumers with higher disposable income," Anchal Bisht, Consumer Analyst at GlobalData.
As for distribution, hypermarkets and supermarkets accounted for the highest share (37.7%) in the distribution of skincare in 2019, followed by health and beauty stores and chemists and pharmacies, which held shares of 22.3% and 12.3%, respectively in 2019.
However, online is a major growth opportunity for skincare brands and retailers in the region.
"Malaysians are among the highest internet users in the ASEAN region, which is also emerging as a new platform for sales with growing e-commerce, driving demand in the sector. The medium is expected to pave way for more international brands to venture into the market and attract convenience seeking, internet savvy and discerning consumers, boosting sales in the sector," said Bisht.

By brand, L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble and Shiseido are currently the top three companies in the Malaysian skincare sector, while SK II, Shiseido and L'Oréal Paris are the leading brands in terms of value in 2019, concluded Globaldata.

John Adams held office as the second president of a young United States of America.
Electricity, the telephone, air travel and antibiotics had all yet to be invented.
And the average life expectancy hovered between 30 and 40 years.
A trio of Dutch researchers at investment group Robeco recently examined data that went that far back in history to assess the success of various investment strategies.
Their conclusions shook the very foundations of today's Nobel Prize-winning theories of modern finance.
As it turns out, they identified a handful of investment strategies that have beaten the market consistently over the past 200 years.
Today's gospel of modern finance preaches that investors cannot beat the market over time.
That's because market prices reflect all the known information about a stock or other asset.
Any new informational edge is instantly arbitraged away by a swarm of profit-seeking investors.
So don't waste your time trying to pick an active fund manager who claims to be able to beat the market.
Instead, just listen to the late John Bogle – founder of The Vanguard Group – and buy an S&P 500 index fund.
And why you can do better than investing in a traditional index fund.
I firmly believe that while beating the market isn't easy, certain investment strategies have proven their mettle over time.
And understanding how you can invest in these strategies using exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could be the key to your financial future.
So let me spare you the pain of reading it by summarizing its conclusions.
The report concluded that six popular strategies consistently outperformed over time.
Although these factors didn't beat the market each and every year, they remained consistent in both good and bad times.
Thanks to the quirks of human behavior, these factors have demonstrated remarkable staying power.
With that, here are the six factors that have stood the test of time.
"Buy what's going up… and sell what's going down." This commonsense approach was consistently the best-performing factor across all markets.
A close cousin of trend following, momentum focuses on investing in assets that perform well relative to others.
Cheap stocks outperform expensive stocks over time. This is the basis of value investing as developed by Benjamin Graham in Security Analysis.
Certain asset classes perform differently at different times of the year. Notably, you can make most of your money in the stock market between November and May.
Investing in higher-yielding assets makes you more money than investing in lower-yielding assets.
Investing in low-risk assets delivers the highest returns over time. This finding directly contradicts the idea that high risk equals high returns. In a portfolio of investments, defensive stocks beat out speculative lottery tickets.
So what does all this highfalutin research mean for you and your portfolio?
1. Think beyond just investing in conventional index funds. History shows that the factors outlined above beat the market over time. And even a 1% or 2% annual outperformance can make a huge difference in the long run.
2. Invest in trend-following and momentum strategies. Much of Wall Street dismisses trend following and momentum investing as crass and simplistic. Yet these two strategies have generated the best returns over time.
3. Don't give up on a lagging strategy. Strategies go in and out of favor. So don't abandon value investing despite its poor showing since 2008. It will be back.
You hear about the importance of diversifying across asset classes like stocks, bonds and commodities.
But it is at least as important to diversify your investments across a wide range of investment strategies as well.
And the simplest way to do this is to invest in the ETFs that track these strategies.

ZACHARY: Lawmakers, reporters should be respectful
The relationship between the media and the government should neither be cozy nor needlessly adversarial.
When journalists become too cozy with the newsmakers they cover they begin to look at government with rose-colored glasses and fail to hold the powerful accountable.
On the other hand, when a reporter is just playing a game of gotcha journalism, assuming that every action is nefarious, they lose objectivity and then credibility.
The words "fair and balanced" have become cliche' and because of overuse, misuse and the wrong use have lost any real meaning.
Objectivity, it seems, is a very subjective thing.
Trust and credibility must be earned and with the proliferation of spurious information or multiple platforms, journalists must work harder than ever before to earn that cache.
But earn it, they must.
They earn it by careful research, multiple sourcing, consistent and thorough fact checking, reporting the good, the bad and the ugly, keeping opinions on the opinion page and always correcting errors in a transparent way.
When they do those things, lawmakers should treat them in respectful ways and, at the very least, talk to them like they are human beings, not vile objects of their contempt.
Constantly vilifying the press may pander to some angry constituents but it does not serve the cause of liberty and certainly doesn't promote any good will.
Every year, it seems that during the legislative off season some piece of legislation bubbles up that targets an open, free and unfettered press.
State lawmakers should realize that going after the public's right to know is not merely a punishment for some reporter, newspaper or television station they are unhappy with, it is an all-out assault on the people of Georgia and an affront to liberty.
Who wants a state-run media that only reports what the Kremlin tells it to report and in a way that flatters the state?
Of course, we know that an open, free and unfettered press is a cornerstone of our freedoms.
Don't we?

At many places you find the owners themselves avoiding direct hiring of such cleaning and dumpster removal service providers but just dumping the waste with negligence and, also the owners of the waste in the first place. This has become an epidemic, but again that goes out of the comprehensiveness of the current article. When you are directly, avoiding the basic laws and ethics of the community, it is bound to become a disaster in the near future. With all good intentions in mind, even the cleaning and dumpster removal services cannot do much in their lifetime. There has to be a collective effort from both sides.
Yes, there are one-stop solution providers who can take care of everything once the waste disposal services are taken care of them. They shall take them, dispose of them at designated places in the city, then carry them from there to the recycling centers; the ones that cannot be reused are again disposed and so on. Of course, there is no full-proof method to ensure that, but in all, that is what is assumed. But, even with that, the first step of an efficient disposal strategy is to collect it from the owners. In many cases, there are unlawful activities. One of the major abusers of such strategies is the medical waste community. These include all big and small companies and clinics to speak thereof.
How it impacts the environment?
There is a direct impact of not using the proper methods. In the first place there are waste collection companies that do one end of their job, without talking about their effectiveness here, and on the other are their vendors. In this case, we are concerned about the vendors. Do we really wish to keep the resources like land and water in our area so polluted from chemicals and infected syringes?
Even the thought of it gets into the head like a current. But, the facts are that this happens every single day in every single city. With many new urban cities trying their best to curb these uses, there are many still negligent to them. It is deep in the way the city runs. The term waste disposal services Singapore is not a big deal and people often tend to ignore the outcome of these incidents. Why? Because, they are not directly affected by such happenings.
This is one of the lamest excuses one may find to avoid the cost of living and a cleaner society. But, sadly this continues to be the case.

EU Circular Economy Package becomes law
By Rob Cole | 20 June 2018 | Add a Comment
Print E-mail Share
The EU's Circular Economy Package (CEP) has been published in the EU's Official Journal, meaning the legislation will enter into force at the start of July, 20 days after its publication.
The long-awaited waste legislation was signed off and appeared in the Journal – the EU's official gazette of record for new legislation – last Thursday (14 June), following the final ratification of the ambitious set of revised waste directives by the EU Council in May, and will now become law on 4 July. The governments of member states will then have 24 months to transpose the directives into national legislation.
The final ratification came a little over a month after MEPs in the European Parliament gave the set of revised waste directives their seal of approval, ratifying the targets agreed upon following the end of three-way discussions known as trilogues between the European Council, Commission and Parliament back in December, which were then approved by EU ambassadors in February this year. The announcement marks the end of a long journey through the institutions since the Juncker Commission put the current legislation forward in 2015, after withdrawing a draft CEP put forward in July 2014 that included a 70 per cent recycling and reuse target for 2030.
The CEP will see new targets set for the recycling of municipal waste, which the EU estimates accounts for between seven and ten per cent of the total waste generated in the EU. Member states will now be expected to reach a recycling rate of 55 per cent by 2025, 60 per cent by 2030 and 65 per cent by 2035.
Recognising the importance of waste management and the circular economy to the EU, the revised text states: 'Improving the efficiency of resource use and ensuring that waste is valued as a resource can contribute to reducing the Union's dependence on the import of raw materials and facilitate the transition to more sustainable material management and to a circular economy model.
'That transition should contribute to the smart, sustainable and inclusive growth goals set out in the Europe 2020 strategy and create important opportunities for local economies and stakeholders, while helping to increase synergies between the circular economy and energy, climate, agriculture, industry and research policies as well as bringing benefits to the environment in terms of greenhouse gas emission savings and to the economy.'
The UK Government, despite its impending departure from the EU, has ratified the new proposals and will work towards the targets set within it. However, the UK currently faces an uphill climb to reach the current target of 50 per cent by 2020.
Shaun Gallagher, Director of Environmental Quality at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), speaking at the Resourcing the Future conference last week (13-14 June), refused to be drawn on whether the UK would be transposing the CEP into UK law in full following Brexit – though he did say this was an opportunity to go further than the requirements contained in the package.

Beyond the headline recycling targets, the CEP also includes specific targets for packaging and separate requirements for bio-waste and landfill. EU member states will be expected to achieve stated recycling rates by 2030 for all packaging (70 per cent), plastic (55 per cent), wood (30 per cent), ferrous metals (80 per cent), aluminium (60 per cent), glass (75 per cent) and paper and cardboard (85 per cent).
In addition to this, member states will have until 1 January 2025 to set up separate collections of textiles waste and hazardous waste from households, while they must ensure that bio-waste is either collected separately or recycled at source through home composting, for example, by 31 December 2023.
With regard to landfill, member states will be expected to ensure that all waste suitable for recycling or recovery shall not be sent to landfill by 2030, except for waste for which landfill is the best environmental outcome. On top of that, member states will have to ensure that by 2035, less than 10 per cent of the total amount of municipal waste generated is sent to landfill.
Focus is also placed on extended producer responsibility to ensure that the costs of waste management are shared equitably, with producers that place products onto the EU market contributing to the financial cost of treatment at the end of that product's life.
The CEP states that 'extended producer responsibility schemes form an essential part of efficient waste management', but that these should not impinge on the 'smooth functioning of the internal market'.
It continues: 'The general minimum requirements should reduce costs and boost performance, as well as ensure a level playing field, including for small and medium-sized enterprises and e-commerce enterprises… They should also contribute to the incorporation of end-of-life costs into product prices and provide incentives for producers, when designing their products, to take better into account recyclability, reusability, reparability and the presence of hazardous substances. Overall, those requirements should improve the governance and transparency of extended producer responsibility schemes.'
Though a lot of emphasis has been put on recycling, the package is cognisant of the need for member states to move up the waste hierarchy and recognises that 'waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of waste.'
As such, the text of the package encourages reuse and new business models that reduce waste generation, stating: 'Member states should facilitate innovative production, business and consumption models that reduce the presence of hazardous substances in materials and products, that encourage the increase of the lifespan of products and that promote reuse including through the establishment and support of re-use and repair networks, such as those run by social economy enterprises, deposit-refund and return-refill schemes and by incentivising remanufacturing, refurbishment and, where appropriate, repurposing of products as well as sharing platforms.'

Midnight Oil release their first new song in 20 years, Gadigal Land
By Natacha Maloon| 1 year ago
Midnight Oil have released their new single 'Gadigal Land', the legendary Australian band's first new song in nearly 20 years.
The announcement marks the group's first studio release since their 2002 album Capricornia. It's part of THE MAKARRATA PROJECT, a themed mini-album of collaborations with indigenous artists.
"We've always been happy to lend our voice to those who call for racial justice, but it really feels like we've reached a tipping point. We urge the federal government to heed the messages in the Uluru Statement From The Heart and act accordingly," Midnight Oil said in an official statement on August 7.

"Hopefully this song and THE MAKARRATA PROJECT mini-album we've created alongside our First Nations friends can help shine a bit more light on the urgent need for genuine reconciliation in this country and in many other places too."
The rock track takes its title from Sydney's traditional owners. The Gadigal — also spelled 'Cadigal' — land extends from the CBD to South Head and through to the inner west.
The band has committed to donating the share of proceeds to organisations which seek to elevate The Uluru Statement From The Heart and Indigenous reconciliation more broadly.

The fresh release features special collaborations with vocalists Kaleena Briggs, Bunna Lawrie, Dan Sultan plus a lyrical section written and delivered by Gadigal poet, Joel Davison.
It's hard not to notice the timely nature given the Black Lives Matter movement that has been on the global agenda and led to increased focus on Aboriginal deaths in custody.
'Gadigal Land' will have a special 'in studio' video release on August 8 during the National Indigenous Music Awards which will be telecast on NITV from 7pm AEST and simulcast across the country on Double J, National Indigenous Radio Service, TEABBA, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
The full mini album is scheduled for release in October.

UK Beggar Sparks Outrage after Getting into $70,000 Audi at the End of His 'Shift'
By Sumitra on March 4th, 2016 Category: News
ShareTwitterReddit
PinterestWhatsappMail
Matthew Brinton, a beggar in England's Cornwall county, has earned the wrath of locals after he was spotted getting into an Audi TT in a parking lot near Bank Street. Brinton is a familiar face in the area, having begged there for several years. Footage of him getting into the $70,000 luxury car was uploaded on Facebook, and Brinton has been receiving death threats ever since.
The 35-year-old beggar, who lives with a friend, claims to have received the car as inheritance from his grandmother. He also says that the Audi has since been stolen, and he's now fearing for his life. "I have not seen any of the social media posts because I do not have access to the internet but according to the police I've had lots of death threats," he said. "People are assuming too much and I'm getting a lot of abuse. This has been going on for years."
The video, which was posted on Facebook on February 18, has indeed received hundreds of abusive comments from irate locals who have actually seen Brinton in person and given him money. "I'm particularly disgusted as he conned £40 from an elderly gentleman I know to 'pay for a B&B for the night', then went home!" one person commented. "The poor elderly gent was distraught that his kindness had been abused in such a way."
"I brought him hot food and a hot drink was very rude and ungrateful in front of my sons who were 8 and 12 at the time," another person wrote. "I told them most homeless people were grateful and not like him.
A few people are taking Brinton's side though, like this one local who wrote: "Leave the man alone ,the dog, Hazel, is well cared for. Vent anger towards what is really making you angry – (it's) awful bullying a vulnerable man."
"Why judge people you don't have to?" another questioned. "He is an ok bloke just lost in life."
The local police don't believe that Brinton is a con either. They told the media that he just received a lot of cash from a long lost relative, and quickly blew all the money away. And they've confirmed that he isn't in possession of the car or any money as of now. "He had a few threats, with people making stupid comments on social media," said inspector Dave Meredith, Newquay's top police officer. "We've told him: 'You need to be careful because of the video on Facebook; there's lots of ill-feeling and animosity because of it.'"
"It's a sad case, really," the inspector added. "I've known him from years but he doesn't help himself."
But people don't seem to care about Brinton, or anyone else for that matter, says. According to recent reports, someone smashed the windshield of the Audi TT featuring in the controversial video, despite the fact that it is no longer the beggar's property.

Baring his teeth into the wind, Stanley shook his head and swooped down again. The place was unrecognizable! He could see Hamster, Maggie, and the...tunneler, the one who did toilet duty, Sideways or whatever his name was, on the new parapet of the new tower. But he didn't feel like buzzing them just yet.
He just kept swinging low over the new walls, the strange, powerful blocks of stone and mortar. The city was full of infantry, wearing white, black, red and...pink? Not enemies, Maggie'd told him. These were his forces, however weird they looked.
Banners were hanging all over the place with some kind of new logo: his own image, with a star-and-beams design. When he became an Overlord, he'd said that crests were Royalist and he wasn't going to have one. So who came up with this? He kind of liked it.
Close behind Stanley as they circled, Jack and the Knight rode their puffing mounts. (Vurp. The Knight's name was Vurp. He was trying to get better about names.) He could hear the whip-snap of leather wings behind him, but those two knew better than to say anything when he was thinking.
Maybe Wanda was in the tower.
The Tool brought them in from Hamster's blind side, intending to pop up dramatically on the new perches. But as they neared the garrison, he got a closer look at the gleaming special regiments assembled for him below. Right, the Courtyard. That had to be Wanda, standing with a...blond warlord.
Oh. Oh, let that be Prince Ansom.
Stanley the Tool of the Titans nosed his dwagon over, and dropped into a dramatic dive.
He also seemed especially sensitive to a height crack back when Parson was first summoned. A reasonable* person who wasn't already short shouldn't take a height joke from a giant seriously.
*Yes I know we're talking about Stanley!
I don't get it. What is the building behind (above) the left tower? It looks like the front wall is missing. Is the ground supposed to slope up to the building's roof on the outside of the wall? How does this make sense at all?
granted, the outer wall on the left looks much higher than the gate wall or the outer wall on the right.
also, what is the free-standing wall behind the gate area (top right corner of the picture)? The garrison walls already? A wall around the lake of lava? A simple (tall) building?
Hey, Moose, Stanley doesn't look short compared to gobwins... but he does seem short compared to Wanda.
wanda is not the plaid tribe. if we assume plaid refers to a scottish kind of direction they would most likely be highland body types short and stocky. so stanley is probably a normal height for his tribe. wanda is not plaid.
also i don't think we've seen stanley in a while, so his proportions against parson may have improved with the artistic rescaling of erfworlders.
One option would be a side where most of the military power is held by barbarians. The Ruler is in effect a constitutional monarch.
He would have power due to ability to change build queues and also loyalty of the general units from the side, but he must keep the barbarians on side.
The barbarians could then all get a vote for the parliament.
It could also include a rule mandating that units are converted into barbarians after a while, so that the king doesn't get to powerful (but not to weak either). He has to be able to handle lawlessness but not have enough force to overcome the will of the majority of the barbarians.
Not sure if this is actually possible, but assuming that units can be sold to other sides, there may be a way to sell units to themselves.
Ofc, barbarians are actually all mini-rulers. Jillian has units under her command. Presumably, a barbarian warlord could have human units as part of the collection.
There seems little mechanism to get to that situation. The magic kingdom could be an example where a Ruler decided to offer sanctuary to casters and then ultimately became dependent on them. OTOH, there is no info on how it is actually ruled. It could be a special side created directly by the Titans as an exception.
Most dictators in the real world don't last forever because if the people mass against them, it is hard to resist. However, in Erfworld, the Ruler can just mass disband a protest that is challenging his power.
wanda is not the plaid tribe.
But isn't Wanda about Sizemore's size? The long and short of it is Stanley is short.
Heh. He needs a box to look at his own table.

American Studies Association: Guided Tour of the American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore, MD. Friday, Oct. 21, 10 a.m.
Going to be at ASA in Baltimore next week? Consider a tour of the largest national repository of self-taught artistry.
Cost is $10 per person. Meet at 10 am at the American Visionary Art Museum (800 Key Highway, cross street is Covington). OR meet promptly at 9:30 am in the Hilton Baltimore Lobby. GoogleMaps alleges that it's a 22-minute walk. Since we need ten people for the group rate, Philip Nel <philnel@ksu.edu> would be grateful if you would sign up with him at your earliest convenience, but no later than Friday, October 21 at 9 am.


I have been feeling a little despondent of late – perhaps it is just tiredness: work has been hectic and usually at this time of year most people suffer from Decembernitis (that "end of year" exhaustion). But, I am also a little despondent that there still seems to be this root of fear in my life. It's like an onion – I've dealt with so many layers, and things are so good right now – between my husband and I, our marriage, with Baby Girl, at work, but every now and then, this ugly little thing called fear rears its ugly head.
Thought for the Day: We were made for more! More than this failure . . . more than this cycle . . . more than being ruled by our taste buds, body image, rationalizations, and guilt. We were made for victory. Sometimes we just have to find our way to that truth.


As you can see, there are 0 lines of data in the store.
The chart isn't going to do the loading for you, you have to tell the store to load.
The store is already load, cause my grid show this store.
If the grid shows data but the pie doesn't then you are not using the same store instance.
My fault, you're right : I didn't load the store in my chart... done now.
I wanna show a piechart with the information of a store (field 'state').
I'm having the same problem with a pie chart. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.
I fixed this there is a long time ago.

I admire and appreciate prominent luxury hotels that effortlessly, seamlessly, and confidently stay in their lane. Take for instance, the three new features recently launched by the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. Known throughout the entertainment and affluent lifestyle worlds as one of the shining gems of the Four Seasons family in any major city around the globe, this understated-yet-oh-so-spectacular urban oasis consistently finds ways to take things up a notch in the area of expertise it's best known for — catering to a glamorous crowd. The hotel is located in the center of Tinseltown, and has a long standing as one of the go-to spots for Hollywood celebrities and power players, and so these three exciting new endeavors make perfect sense: The unveiling of the Screening Room, the hiring of Jeff Leatham as Artistic Director, and a new Italian-inspired espresso and wine bar, Vinoteca.
Located on the main floor adjacent to Culina restaurant, the Screening Room is essentially a boutique theatre, complete with 38 plush leather recliners and outfitted with retractable tables and armrests. It's a brilliant idea, as the room is designed to host private events, movie screenings, and parties of various sizes, imaginations, and budgets.
The chairs all have built-in dining trays, which were specifically designed to hold what's on the special menu created by Italian Chef de Cuisine Denis Dello Stritto, as the close proximity to Culina means Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills hotel guests and private attendees have access to an elevated assortment of movie snacks and beverages way beyond the typical fare. The list is delectable, ambitious, over-the-top, and fun, and includes (among other things) truffle popcorn, french fries, gourmet churros and pastries, and small plates like house-fired montanara, prosciutto, and formaggi. Housemade dolci, espresso, and a curated assortment of Italian wines, champagne, and fresh juices are also available to take any private party or evening of relaxing to a new level — no matter the demographics of the crowd.
The Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills has always been a magnet for A-list stars and, just as importantly, the Hollywood infrastructure of key players, executives, agents, managers, and publicists. As mentioned, the hotel caters extensively to this crowd, and because of their perfect location that is equal parts discreet while still being in the center of the entertainment universe, stars know they will be able to relax and unwind here, while enjoying the amenities that well-heeled travelers and jetsetters worldwide have enjoyed for years. It's quite difficult to visit the hotel and not run into a recognizable face from TV, movies, or sports, but what makes the spot unique, is that these interactions take place in an organic environment. The celebs genuinely seem to be enjoying their stay as much as guests, whether they are there during a junket for the release of a new film, an awards show weekend, or just looking to unwind by the pool or partake in the hotel's legendary Sunday brunch.
The second notable new touch at the hotel is the addition of Leathame, who returns to the place where he began his career after a very successful run at the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris. His signature floral installations during his tenure at that famed Parisian hotel earned him accolades and a loyal legion of fans around the world, and his new work on display now in the lobby and gardens of the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills are, quite simply, show stoppers. His specialty is bold-yet-simple design, with unique twists on shape and color, and returning to LA gives him a brand-new canvas to craft exciting masterpieces within a celebrity-driven sandbox.
The third and final recent addition to the hotel is the unveiling of the espresso and wine bar, Vinoteca. It's a strong and strategic idea — one that will no doubt lure visitors for meetings and light meals throughout the day and become another one of those mandatory LA hotspots where seeing and being seen at is an essential part of enhancing your brand and/or Q rating. Vinoteca offers powerful Wi-Fi for those who want to work as they sip an espresso or glass of wine, and there are an assortment of unique menu items including what might be considered their signature dish, Neapolitan montanara (fried) pizzas.
I have special way to describe the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. If you are a a sports fan, think of the vibe at this hotel to be reminiscent of a "playoff atmosphere." There is a charge in the air at this hotel that reminds me a playoff game with the Bulls during Jordan's reign, or the Lakers when Magic was in his prime. If you prefer an entertainment analogy, it's an "awards night" experience. I find these analogies the best ways to convey the high levels of energy and excitement omnipresent here regardless of time of day or year. Yes, the regular season is special and exciting, but there's something tangibly different about the playoffs, or awards night, and that's what separates this hotel from others that are of similar distinction in other cities.
The quality of employees at Four Seasons properties in general is at a high level to start with, but a location like this attracts the best of the best, so it's only natural that you feel and experience special personal touches and nuances throughout your stay. In my opinion, that's part of the reason it's a hotbed for celebs and all moving parts of the entertainment machine. It feels bigger. It's a tangible feeling of elevated electricity that starts when you arrive with the bell staff and parking attendants, continues through the check-in process, and doesn't stop until you exit the hotel at the culmination of your stay. Things feel more important here. More grandiose.
Simply, the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills has long history of excellence. The hotel has always been known for its great relationship with the motion picture and television industries (in large part because they make a conscious effort to cater to them), and these three exciting new additions have kept them firmly in their lane, the fast lane, and near the very top of any list of the best hotels in LA.


These days I find myself remembering my pre-baby life in the manner of somebody vaguely recollecting the plot of a book I once read. When I think about my life, say, three years ago, when I was working in London, it scarcely seems possible that I'm the same person.
My dynamic duo started walking yesterday – wobbly steps while pushing a dolls' pram. Hattie managed to cross the room first, and was picking up speed and smiling at herself by the end of the day. Joe was far more cautious, but he had the look in his eye of a boy who knew that he couldn't afford to let his sister gain too much of an advantage in this area.
Ever since they started crawling it's seemed like I can't take my eyes off them for more than a second. And learning to stand up has seen our living room swiftly stripped of almost all objects other than large pieces of furniture. Before they reached this stage I swore that I wouldn't be one of what I thought of as excessive child-proofing people, but the reality of trying to stop two very active babies from burying themselves under an avalanche of books, or shutting their fingers in a kitchen drawer, soon made me realise that it was a case of either bowing to the inevitable or never having a moment's rest again. And even despite my best efforts, Joe's graduation to the world of being a standing-up baby has been marked by frequent bangs and crashes. Although both babies quickly learned the knack of sitting down again, he often seems to come into rapid and unforgiving contact with an object on the way!
One of my favourite manifestations of their twin relationship is the way in which they seem to share each other's delight: if one baby is on my knee, playing 'row the boat' or hearing the gripping tale of how Miss Mollie had a dolly who was sick (sick, sick), the smiles and laughter aren't just from that baby – their co-conspirator is always right next to us, laughing as well. I'd expected possessiveness from them at this stage, but to date they seem to take genuine pleasure in each other's happiness. It's lovely to witness.
Put simply, I'm in awe of these wondrous little people. Life is very good indeed.

Nebraska Medicine to resume appointments, procedures after battling cyberattack | Live Well
That incident, too, began on a weekend. It, too, left doctors and nurses to rely on paper backup systems.
Nebraska Medicine officials said last week that the health system's emergency rooms have remained open since the outage began early Sept. 20, a Sunday, and no patients had been diverted to other hospitals.
No patients' electronic medical records were deleted or destroyed, the health system said at the time, thanks to the system's "back-up and recovery processes."
But when asked whether patients' medical or financial information had been exposed, a Nebraska Medicine spokesman said the statement the health system provided contained all the information officials could provide.
Nebraska Medicine's outage also affected hospitals in North Platte, Norfolk, Hastings and Beatrice for which the health system hosts electronic health records systems.
Electronic records at Great Plains Health in North Platte came back over the weekend and were up and running Tuesday with a few small exceptions, said Megan McGown, a health system spokeswoman.
"It's a great system," she said. "We missed it while it was down, and we are very glad it's back up."
During the outage, staff with Great Plains, like those within Nebraska Medicine, had to record patient information on paper. Patient care was not impacted, she said, and to her knowledge, the hospital did not have to delay any procedures. No patient information was accessed or stolen.

Hard playing deserves equally hard napping, and Venus has proven that she is no slouch at either. She puts forth 100 percent when she plays and 100 percent when she naps, and is quite the little CUDDLEBUG then as well!
She has also definitively ingrained herself as part of the family "pack" now, endearing herself to Spyder sufficiently for him to happily play the role of kitten pillow.
She and Andy have also officially bonded now, apparently having become best buddies!

Size: ca. 750 items (on 1 microfilm reel).
Summary: Certificate of Incorporation; draft of articles of incorporation and by-laws; minutes of A.H.C. meetings, April 1939-January 1940; 12 reports regarding progress of activities and council objectives; fundraising file containing correspondence (some photocopies) between A.H.C. and possible contributors, 1937-1939, and a list of possible sponsors; files on the economic study of handicrafts in the United States under grant from the Carnegie Corporation including surveys of craftspersons' production, marketing, and financing skills and experiences; photographs of samples of handicrafts; financial records; and miscellany.
Biographical/Historical Note
Founded 1939; Wilmington, Delaware. Humphery Emery, who figures in this collection, was director of the Society of Arts and Crafts in the 1930's and subsequently secretary of the American Handicraft Council when that organization was founded. The two organizations worked closely together in 1939 and 1940 to conduct an economic survey of handicrafts, first in New England and later in the United States. As Emery kept papers concerning to both organizations, additional material pertaining to the American Handicraft Council can be found in the papers of the Society of Arts and Crafts.

The Next Generation group departed from tradition at Tuesday's meeting by featuring a sit-down speech instead of the more customary 10 minutes standing-up. It was longer, too, as was entirely justified by the quality of the speaker – none other than Tim Harford, author of "The Undercover Economist" and a Financial Times columnist.
His theme was a comparison of industrial disasters with the recent financial meltdown. Drawing on the experiences of the Piper Alpha oil rig explosion, the Three Mile Island nuclear leak, and other disasters such as the Chernobyl melt-down, he pointed out that there was no single cause, but a succession of failures in a variety of systems. Many of those systems had been put in place as additional safety features, but had only added to the confusion and the complex sequence of failures.
The lesson to be learned was that the systems themselves were over-complex, and that greater safety could be achieved by procedural simplicity. The lesson he drew from the financial crisis is not that additional safety measures should now be bolted on to prevent a recurrence, but that financial systems should be simplified so that everyone can see what is going on, and more crucially, can see when they start to go wrong.
The audience of 100 who made it through the London tube strike was rewarded by an insightful speech packed with fascinating nuggets of information to back up the speaker's central thesis. It was a tour de force, and Mr Harford stayed on afterwards to meet TNG members and take the discussion further with them. As usual at TNG meetings, there was social value to the event, with wine served before and after the speech, and plenty of opportunities for members to meet and talk to each other.

Antonio Christofoletti (Rio Claro, 13 de junho de 1936 – Rio Claro, 11 de janeiro de 1999), foi um geógrafo brasileiro.

Biografia
Antonio nasceu no dia 13 de junho de 1936, em Rio Claro, São Paulo, com ascendência de imigrantes italianos, e desde muito jovem começou a trabalhar ajudando o pai "Seo Pedro" em seu armazém.

No início da década de 50, ingressa no curso de geografia e história da Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Campinas, atual Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, iniciando sua dedicação ao estudo da geografia.

Tendo concluído o bacharelado em 1957 e a licenciatura em 1958, o Professor Christofoletti começa a lecionar na PUC e no ensino médio estadual, em virtude de aprovação em concurso público.

Realizou especialização em Geografia Física na Universidade de São Paulo, entre 1963 e 1966, sob orientação do professor Aziz Ab'Saber, escrevendo sobre a fisiografia dos cerrados..

Em maio de 1968 obtém o título de doutor defendendo a tese "O Fenômeno Morfogenético no Município de Campinas (SP)" sob orientação do Prof. Dr. João Dias da Silveira na Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Rio Claro, hoje UNESP – Campus de Rio Claro. Obteve o título de livre docente na mesma instituição em 1971, com a tese "Análise Morfométrica de Bacias Hidrográficas do Planalto de Poços de Caldas (MG)".

Em 1975, ingressa como professor adjunto da UNESP de Rio Claro, por concurso e, em 1979, também por concurso, torna-se professor titular do Departamento de Geografia e Planejamento daquela universidade.

Vida literária
O Professor Antonio Christofoletti é autor de oito livros sobre geomorfologia, e é responsável pela elaboração de três livros didáticos para o terceiro grau sobre o assunto.

Publicou 148 artigos em periódicos científicos nacionais e internacionais, 425 resenhas bibliográficas, 11 contribuições em coletâneas, proferiu 82 palestras e conferências, publicou 60 artigos de divulgação e 73 comunicações em congressos..

Em 1958, Christofoletti participou da implantação da revista "Notícia Geomorfológica", passando a diretor entre 1966 e 1981. Entre 1971 e 1989, participou do "Boletim de Geografia Teorética", além de ter sido coordenador da Revista Geográfica, de 1976 a 1999.

Obras principais
 Geomorfologia
 Sistemas de Informação Geográfica: Dicionário Ilustrado (em parceria com Armandio L. de A. Teixeira)
 As características da nova geografia. In Perspectivas da geografia.
 Modelagem de Sistemas Ambientais
 Análise de Sistemas em Geografia

Morte e legado
Faleceu em São Carlos, São Paulo, no dia 11 de janeiro de 1999.
Participou da gestão da biblioteca do Campus da UNESP de Rio Claro, e graças a ele a biblioteca possui um dos mais importantes acervos da América Latina.

Sua coleção de livros foi adquirida pela Universidade Estadual de Campinas e hoje está disponível para consulta pública na biblioteca Conrado Paschoale do Instituto de Geociências, no campus de Campinas.

A Lei n° 11.650, de 13 de janeiro de 2004 dá denominação de "Prof. Antonio Christofoletti" ao viaduto localizado sobre a Rodovia Washington Luiz - SP 310, no km 172,5, no Município de Rio Claro.

Local governments, consider yourselves warned. Your license to regulate transportation innovation soon could be revoked.
Technology companies offering alternatives to traditional limousine and livery car services are getting help from some friends in high places.
After years of being effectively locked out of some of Florida's largest transportation markets, companies like Uber, Ride Command, Sidecar, Lyft and others soon could find themselves in the driver's seat.
That's if the Florida Legislature approves a pair of bills sponsored by state Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, and state Rep. Jamie Grant, R-Tampa. The proposed legislation would strip local governments of their ability to regulate "chauffeured limousine" services and place that authority in the hands of the state government.
But don't be fooled. Brandes's bill, SB 1618, wouldn't apply to just limousines per se, but to any nonmetered vehicle with four or more doors, hired in advance. That excludes taxicabs, but applies to a range of other options perfectly suited for companies like Uber — whose Washington, D.C., office on Monday will receive a visit from U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
Based in San Francisco, Uber is an online firm that connects drivers and passengers through a digital app, or smart phone application.
Once selected, drivers arrive by tracking a rider's cell phone signal. Passengers also can follow drivers' locations on their mobile devices. Customers choose from economy cars, SUVs or even luxury vehicles. Pricing can be predetermined and fares split among multiple riders.
"Uber is magic, you press a button and you get a car," Justin Kintz, Uber's public policy manager, told Watchdog.org.
It's a good deal for drivers, Kintz told Watchdog.org. A license and the right vehicle equates to a well-paying job, with some in some large cities making up to $100,000 a year, he said. A Craigslist ad touts $30 an hour for qualified drivers in Tampa.
Facilitating faster, cheaper services along with the potential for more jobs with higher pay, hasn't exactly been met with a welcome mat. Uber may have a foothold in 85 different markets, but not so much in the Sunshine State.
In January, political brinksmanship at the Miami-Dade County Commission killed an attempt to strike several seemingly arbitrary restrictions against digital transportation companies.
Miami-Dade is Florida's most populous county, with a large tourism industry to boot, but local regulations cap limousine and "black-car" licenses at 625.
"Clearly, the cap was put in place to benefit the folks who are already in the market and who own the licenses," Kintz said.
Miami-Dade also requires a minimum fare of $70 regardless the travel distance, and further requires a one-hour wait time from the moment a reservation is made to when a passenger can ride in a licensed vehicle.
Orlando has a $35 minimum fare and one-hour wait time. Tampa has a $50 minimum fare, which was instituted in 2012 by the Hillsborough County Public Transportation Commission.
Entrenched transportation interests aren't going down without a fight.
Mears Transportation Group, a large Orlando-based firm founded in 1939, commissioned a poll in February, with the support of the Florida Taxicab Association, and found 78 percent of Floridians believe Uber should be regulated like taxis and other transportation providers.
The poll surveyed 3,024 Floridians in four metropolitan areas Jan. 7-Feb.13, with a 1.8 percent margin of error.
Mears further reported that Uber would underserve minority communities, the elderly and low-income residents.
But Uber is singing a different tune. "When you look at these types of regulations, there's no benefit to consumers. They only benefit incumbent players," Kintz said.
State House and Senate hearings will be held next week at the Capitol.


GC/MS or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry involves the coupling of a GC column to separate mixture components and a mass spectrometer to detect them by matching spectra obtained during the MS analysis with that from a computer library. In the GC portion of the analysis, the sample is injected into a GC inlet, vaporized and carried onto the column by a carrier gas where it is separated into individual compounds on the basis of boiling points and interactions with the stationary phase of the column. The separated components then flow into an ionization chamber of the mass spectrometer where they are ionized using a beam of electrons in a process known as electron impact ionization. The ion produced is the M+ ion or molecular or parent ion. In the resulting mass spectrum, this ion is used to determine the molecular weight of the compound. Another process known as chemical ionization can also be used by ionizing methane to create radicals that ionize the target analytes. A mass analyzer, most commonly a quadrupole or ion trap, then separates the particles according to their mass. They are then measured using a detector. A computer is used to compare the spectrum of the compounds in the sample to that of a library, made easier by the fact that most compounds have unique fragmentation patterns. The resulting matches are displayed to the analyst.
