Giada de Laurentiis' First Restaurant Now Open
The most anticipated restaurant opening of 2014, Giada De Laurentiis' first restaurant, GIADA, is now open at The Cromwell Las Vegas. The cornerstone of the boutique hotel and casino, GIADA boasts priceless views, signature dishes and a warm and inviting atmosphere, all a reflection of De Laurentiis' vision.
Clairol Natural Instincts sponsored the grand opening celebration for brand spokesperson De Laurentiis, who changed her Natural Instincts shade to Amber Shimmer for the occasion, offering invited guests a first look at the space in advance of the restaurant's official opening day.
Located on the second story of The Cromwell, above the most exciting and dynamic intersection in the world, GIADA accommodates nearly 300 guests and encompasses three dining experiences a dining room, a lounge and a terrace. The priceless views of the Bellagio fountains, Caesars Palace and Bally's Grand Bazaar Shops, make every seat in the space an unforgettable experience.
De Laurentiis' heart and soul can be felt in every piece of the restaurant- all elements from the food and decor to the atmosphere provide guests with the feeling that they are in the chef's home, dining with the her and her family.
As guests first enter GIADA they are welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere as well as the intoxicating aroma of fresh baked breads and pizzas. The eye-catching antipasti bar, a first for Italian eateries in Las Vegas, encompasses separate pizza and bread ovens and a pasta stand where chefs will be rolling homemade pasta.
GIADA's menu embraces De Laurentiis' Roman heritage, mirroring her passion for Italian cooking with vibrant, Californian influences. GIADA utilizes the freshest ingredients to create a new take on the traditional Italian cuisine, while staying true to classic favorites. Signature dishes include Lemon Spaghetti, Roasted Chicken for Two Caccitore-style, Chicken Marsala Meatballs, a bone-in Tuscan Ribeye, and a unique dessert cart featuring fresh Lemon Ricotta Cookies and homemade gelatos is not to be missed.
The restaurant offers a robust wine list artfully crafted from new and old world wines as well as a beautiful wine display. Signature cocktails offer a fresh new twist on standard ingredients, and many pay tribute to her late grandfather by naming several cocktails after movies he produced, such as the Jane Fonda classic Barbarella.
De Laurentiis is proud to be a part of the Las Vegas culinary community and wants all guests to feel as though they are members of her family, including the locals. So much so, she created a special phone number for locals to call for information on the restaurant and to make reservations. That local line is 702-667-1799.
GIADA is open daily from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For information or to make reservations, please call 855-GIADAS1.

Maybe it's the winter snow that inspires some of us, including me, dream about the tropics and tropical drinks even more! And maybe it's nostalgia that makes us sometimes yearn for drinks from times past. In fact, I think it was at Pancho Villa in Larchmont, where I had one of my first of many restaurant jobs a loooong time ago, and where I enjoyed my first Tequila Sunrise. Sweet, powerful, and colorful, this drink was one of my favorites for quite some time. Well, mis amigos, I was inspired to bring back this ol' favorite this week. Colorful, festive, and certainly sunny, the Tequila Sunrise is the prefect counterbalance to these snowy days! Serve with guacamole, pepitas, or your favorite snack. ¡Buen provecho! Enjoy!
This recipe is slightly adapted from one my Aunt Helen sent me. She uses half salted and half sweet butter. I also swapped out the fresh zest for dried, giving the orange flavor a little more punch.
Cream the butter for about 5 minutes until it's pale and fluffy. Scraping down the sides. Add the sugar and beat for another 3-5 minutes. Scraping down the sides occasionally.
Add the orange juice, zest and vanilla. Beat until the juice is fully blended. Scraping down the sides.
Sift 2 cups of flour with the baking powder, soda and salt. Add the flour slowly incorporating fully after each addition, scraping down the sides. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add the last cup of flour as needed. You should be able to roll the dough easily.
With a small cookie scoop or spoon roll about 1½ tablespoons of dough into a 6" log. Twist and place on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet.
Mix 1 tablespoon of water with the reserved yolk. Brush each cookie and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through. The cookies should be golden brown on the bottom and top. Once removed from the oven let them rest for 2 minutes before placing on a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Yield: 1 Cocktail INGREDIENTS 2 ounces silver tequila 4 ounces orange juice Lime wedge (optional!) 1/2 ounce grenadine Half moon orange slice for garnish Maraschino cherry for garnish PREPARATION Pour the tequila and the orange juice into a highball glass with ice cubes. Add a squeeze of lime (optional!) Stir. Slowly pour the grenadine around the inside edge of the glass. It will create a beautiful color (sunset-esque!) as it sinks. Don't stir! Garnish with the orange slice and cherry, and serve!


I'm currently watching a company on its way out of business. The writing has been on the wall for awhile, it's not pretty, and the worst part is, it was completely avoidable.
Since the errors this business made along the way are too numerous to mention, I'll just provide a quick overview. Starting with a solid business model targeting an under-served target audience, this company quickly began shooting at a harder-to-reach target audience before it ever got established. When that failed, the firm changed its focus almost weekly in a desperate attempt to be any and all things to all people. In the end, the business was left with a brand it couldn't clearly define and a product it couldn't sell.
A big part of the reason this company failed to sell what it offered was the fact that its marketing and advertising changed as often as its focus. And, the reason for that was, this company, which directly employed no one with any advertising experience, was attempting to do its own advertising. In addition to poorly written and executed ads with obvious stock photos and social media that was often wildly off-brand, this company relied on an inconsistent, do-it-yourself ad strategy that was alternately ham-handed, half-baked or hilariously bad.
I've ranted about the perils of DIY before and, while it should be common sense, it still happens. That aside, there are companies who do their own advertising and marketing and do it well. Further, I've seen any number of businesses who have been quite successful doing their own advertising strictly on the web and social media. However, there are many more companies, like my example above, who wind up DOA directly because of their bad DIY advertising and marketing. Is it the only reason that business is failing? Probably not. But, poorly executed advertising and an undefined brand that didn't contribute one iota to the bottom line certainly didn't help.
So, how can your small business avoid a similar fate? For one, stick to what your business is focused on and, if you don't have someone in-house who can help out, let someone whose business is advertising help with the advertising. If your budget doesn't allow that, develop a consistent marketing plan and stick to it. DO make sure every radio, TV, print, direct mail or banner ad, Facebook post and Tweet you produce consistently defines and promotes the brand promise your company is offering your target audience. Keep track of what hits your goals and what doesn't and, at the end of six months or a year, adjust your marketing toward what works.
DON'T pivot your entire marketing plan (or your business plan for that matter) around just one element of the program or a blip in results. Instead, focus on keeping your brand message consistent and defined across a variety of channels to maximize the efficiency of your marketing plan.
Good do-it-yourself advertising won't kill your business. However, poorly planned and executed DIY advertising and marketing that doesn't consistently support your brand can leave you DOA, no matter how many Facebook Likes or re-tweets you might have.
Copywriting and design do matter. And, if you aren't a copywriter and/or designer or don't have someone in-house who can help you with your advertising and marketing, drop us a line. We can get your business on track PDQ!

Роберт Лоу, 1-й виконт Шербрук (4 декабря 1811 — 27 июля 1892) — британский государственный деятель, член парламента Соединённого королевства (1852—1880).

Биография
Был преподавателем, потом адвокатом; в 1842 г. переселился в Австралию и с 1843 по 1851 гг. принадлежал к законодательному собранию колонии; составил план учебной реформы, который послужил основанием для организации народного образования во всей почти Австралии.

Вернувшись в Англию, стал известен помещёнными в «The Times» статьями о колониальном быте.

В 1852 г. был избран членом палаты общин и дебютировал блестящей речью против предложенного Дизраэли бюджета. В кабинете Абердина он был статс-секретарем по делам Индии, в первом кабинете Пальмерстона — вице-президентом торгового бюро, главным казначеем и членом тайного совета, во втором его кабинете — вице-президентом учебного совета.

В 1864 г. он должен был подать в отставку ввиду выражения ему палатой порицания за тенденциозное извращение отчётов школьных инспекторов.

В 1866 г. ему удалось отомстить правительству, недостаточно поддержавшему его в этом инциденте: блестящими и остроумными речами он содействовал неуспеху Гладстон-Росселевского билля о реформе. В это время он был настоящим вождем партии, прозванной Брайтом в насмешку адулламитами. Когда лорд Дерби в июле 1866 г. составил кабинет, Лоу отказался от участия в нём и резко возражал против билля о реформе Дизраэли.

В 1868 г. он стал канцлером казначейства в первом кабинете Гладстона. Его финансовое управление отличалось большой бережливостью, но было мало популярно, так что Гладстон осенью 1873 г. сам принял этот портфель и сделал Лоу министром внутренних дел. Во втором правительстве Гладстона Лоу не участвовал, но получил звание пэра с титулом виконта Шербрука.

В 1884 г. Лоу издал сборник своих стихотворений «Poems of a Life».

Умер в 1892 году, похоронен на Бруквудском кладбище.

CD review: "The Toughest Girl Alive"
This review first appeared on SignOn San Diego on July 16, 2000.
Candye Kane's got as big a voice as you'll ever hear, and the kind of brash swagger that Mae West wore so well. On her latest release, "The Toughest Girl Alive" on Rounder Records, she shows that she's got a musical vision to match that attitude and vocals. Ranging from swing to straight blues to boogie woogie to gospel to bawdy saloon songs, Kane's big-as-all-outdoors singing takes possession of each and every one of the baker's dozen tunes here.
Of course, surrounding her with folks like former Blasters guitarist Dave Alvin and swamp-rock piano queen Marcia Ball doesn't hurt things any. And pairing her with fellow San Diegan Earl Thomas for a duet on "Who Walks in When I Walk Out" was fair on close to genius.
Hard to compare her to anyone, really – but Tracy Nelson, the blues singer who came roaring out of the '60s with Mother Earth, isn't too far off the mark. Like Nelson, Kane can growl, swing, seduce and scream – often in the same chorus.
Her songwriting is every bit as good as her singing – she wrote or co-wrote nine of the songs here, and a couple are are so good that they're likely to find their way onto the albums of other singers. Of course, they might want to tone the lyrics down a touch – no reason to draw the wrath of Tipper Gore, not in an election year. Because Kane's songs are exactly the type of music that Tipper was warning the nation about in the early '80s when she went to Congress demanding warning labels on record covers. The lyrics are generally sexual and often crude – this isn't a woman accustomed to pulling her punches (although just how one would tone down a song with the title of "Let's Commit Adultery" is a toughie).

Why Are Cars Still Designed with Clay?
by Bob Leonard | Dec 9, 2016 | Uncategorized
Car designers still use clay to mockup cars. Most people find this somewhat surprising considering that stylists now have powerful computers and virtual reality at their fingertips. The car styling industry certainly does use computer tools but most still rely on the old fashioned, clay modeling technique.
It started with Harley Earl. Earl was a legendary car stylist for General Motors from the 1920s through the end of the 1950s. He is credited with developing the concept of designing cars like they were works of art, not just utilitarian products with wheels. Automotive historians tell us that Earl was one of the first car designers to use clay. He found that clay sculpted models helped GM executives get a feel for a proposed design in a way that diagrams and sketches simply couldn't communicate.
Lloyd VandenBrink of the Ford Truck Studio in Dearborn, Michigan, explains it like this: "Clay has two characteristics that make it good for use. It's easy to change — you just add it, or take it away. It allows you to be creative and come up with something quickly. 3D printing, on the other hand, is just that — printing."
The first thing to know about automotive styling clay is that it isn't the kind of clay that most of us have experience with. Standard clay is a natural product made up of fine-grained natural rock or soil material with traces of metal oxides and organic matter in it. Automobile styling clay, often referred to as plasticine clay, is a man-made product that is composed of a mixture of waxes with special fillers in it. More recently one of the major fillers used is tiny glass beads.
There are some half a dozen companies that make plasticine clay suitable for full-scale design modelling. Because it is a critical part of the design process, a few car companies actually prefer to make their own blends – and a lot of it. According to Button Dodge of Kokomo, IN, a Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram dealer, in a typical year, a car company goes through about 100 tons of the stuff!
It is important to know that designing cars with clay isn't a "reductive process" like sculpting is. In other words, the job of a stylist isn't to take a huge lump of clay and remove everything that doesn't look like an SUV. It is an additive process where stylists apply lumps of clay to lightweight aluminum frame that is made to mimic hard constraints like the overall wheelbase, powertrain, and passenger room. The design and approval process can take up to a year. When completed, a car can be scanned into a CAD program in an hour and a half.
Interested in automotive styling as a career? At Ford's studio in Dearborn, there are about 160 designers. Most of these folks are highly computer literate but are quite capable of scraping clay whenever needed. VandenBrink explains that the stylists come from a variety of disciplines. Some come from design schools that specialize in auto design, others come from the auto-body industry, and a lot are simply artists. According to VandenBrink, not a lot of future designers think about clay on their career path. "The important part is that they like to design things and enjoy the process," he says.

Are chickens finally coming home to roost?
Various media outlets have on several occasions questioned the relationship between the former Works and Transport Minister Erkki Nghimtina and the embattled former RCC acting CEO Pieter Oosthuizen.
It is public knowledge that the appointment of Oosthuizen as acting CEO of the Roads Contractor Company and as TransNamib Chairman raised a few eyebrows not least because of his questionable qualifications.
For some time the minister was asked to explain his relationship with Oosthuizen whose qualifications appeared dubious, but he simply ignored those requests.
For long people have asked if whether the relationship between Nghimtina and Oosthuizen was above board, but again these concerns were rubbished as the work of people with a vendetta against the minister.
The minister was probably the only person in this country who saw Oosthuizen's value at RCC and TransNamib.
Oosthuizen was forced down our throats as the messiah who had come to rescue the ailing TransNamib and RCC, but recent evidence suggests that his helm at both TransNamib and the RCC has been nothing but a disaster.
The extent of the rot at the Roads Contractor Company and TransNamib has exposed Nghimtina.
The minister has this unenviable reputation of turning into dust everything that he touches. Look at the rot at the works and transport ministry, RCC, TransNamib, Air Namibia and the DCA.
It was also during his tenure as Mines and Energy Minister that Namcor crumbled only to be rescued during Katali's era when he brought in a new board for the parastatal and a new managing director.
One wonders why the minister was protecting useless individuals who were masquerading as CEOs.
It is interesting to note that Oosthuizen has decided to jump ship and resign as RCC acting CEO only a month after Nghimtina was shipped to the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Creation.
Is this mere coincidence or the burden of leading the bankrupt RCC indeed became too much to bear for Oosthuizen?
Oosthuizen may claim, and justifiably so, that the problems at RCC are historical and did not start during his time, but can he justify his presence there?
The same is also true for TransNamib.
Oosthuizen saw shadows at every corner and suspended key personnel at both RCC and TransNamib. What was he afraid of?
RCC is now down on its knees and it will be foolhardy for the Government to bail out this company as the taxpayer's money will just disappear into this bottomless pit called RCC.
It's not the first time that the company has embarked on a turnaround strategy that failed to yield the intended results. They say once bitten twice shy.
Instead of throwing money at RCC, proper forensic investigations should be carried out to determine the real cause of the rot at the parastatal and those responsible should be brought to book. There should be no sacred cows.
Namibian diamonds push De Beers' profits
The original sin
The tussle of rocking an afro
God bless the discarded babies
Taxi fare battles rage again

CHARGERS: Bolts can't take what foes give them
By SCOTT BAIR - sbair@nctimes.com
SAN DIEGO -- The Chargers' turnover ratio is terrible, andthat's not just because they're giving up the ball at a recordrate.
Their defense hasn't forced a turnover since Luis Castillorecovered a fumble on Oct. 3, a streak that is troublesome todefenders across the depth chart. Strong safety Steve Gregorysnared the Chargers' most recent interception, and he was suspendedfor the last four games.
Combined with their offense's penchant for fumbles, the Chargershave committed 10 more turnovers than they have forced.
"The hardest thing for us is that we've had some bad bounces orwe haven't finished a play," Chargers coach Norv Turner said."We've knocked the ball out recently, only to have it fall rightback into the other team's arms. We've had our hands on fourinterceptions in the last two weeks and not made the catch.
"Things go in streaks, and if we keep flying to the ball andplaying technically sound, we'll get some takeaways."
The Chargers forced Oakland to fumble three times during an Oct.10 loss, but the Raiders recovered all three times. And a passbounced off the hands of free safety Eric Weddle in a three-pointloss to New England on Oct. 24
"You catch breaks sometimes. Other times you don't," insidelinebacker Stephen Cooper said. "This is a strange game, andsometimes these streaks happen. You just have to roll with punches,but at the same time we have to capitalize on the opportunitieswe're given."
The Chargers have been reluctant to ignore the basics oftackling and coverage in an attempt to force a fumble or go for aninterception, but they're in desperate need of game-definingmoments on defense.
"We shouldn't stress it to the point that we start pressing, butwe do need turnovers," cornerback Antoine Cason said. "We mustcapitalize on the opportunities we do have, and we have to createthem by getting after the ball when it's exposed. You don't getmany legitimate chances to take the ball away, and we can't keepallowing them to slip away."
Cooper believes the Chargers can do more to take the ball awaywithout taking unnecessary risks.
"We have to put more of an emphasis on stripping the ball outwhen we make tackles. When the first guy gets there, he should wrapthe ballcarrier up, but the second and third guy there should begoing for the football. We try to stress that during practice, butwe have to do a better job during games."
The Chargers lead the NFL in total defense, ranking No. 1against the pass and No. 2 against the run, but they are just No.18 in fumble recoveries and No. 17 interceptions.
It's no coincidence that nine of the 11 turnovers the Chargershave forced this season occurred during victories over Jacksonvilleand Arizona.
"You have to have confidence that if you play the right way,"Cooper said, "your fortunes will change."
Brown's homecoming
Chargers interim kicker Kris Brown, a native Texan who playedfor Houston from 2002-09 and stills lives in the area, will play atReliant Stadium for the first time as a visitor on Sunday.
"It's difficult, but you do what you can to treat this like anyother game," said Brown, cut by the Texans on Sept. 9. "You get introuble if you make it a bigger deal than it is. You can findsafety in the routine and not worry about external factorssurrounding the game."
Brown was the only player to appear in every Texans game sincethe franchise's 2002 inception prior to his release.
"Any time you spend that long with an organization and there's afalling out, there's disappointment," Brown said. "But when you'rein this business, you know things like that are a possibility. Ifyou let it affect you and you're bitter about it, then you'resetting yourself up for failure."
The odds of Antonio Gates missing a game due to injury havenever been higher.
Gates is listed as doubtful on the team's injury report with toeand foot injuries, and while he'll make a decision on Sunday andwould like to play, he'll likely be sidelined against Houston. Ifhe's out, Randy McMichael will start at tight end.
Receivers Malcom Floyd (hamstring) and Legedu Naanee (hamstring)and linebacker Brandon Siler (foot) won't play, though they arelisted as doubtful. Linebacker Larry English won't play either,though he is listed as questionable. Left guard Kris Dielman(stinger) is probable and will start.


You could have a cheaper trip out to the pictures – find out how to do this.
Going to the cinema used to be a cheap family trip. But now it can end up anything but affordable, once you've factored in the price of tickets, drinks and snacks. In fact, for a family of four going to see a blockbuster, it can easily cost £50.
But it doesn't have to be this way – you can still have a trip out to the cinema for less. Check out our tips for saving money at the cinema and you can have a budget-friendly evening out with the whole family.
It might surprise you to learn that you can take your own food and drink to certain cinema chains. So while you're shelling out £4 on popcorn for your little ones, you could have actually brought a snack with you.
Vue and Cineworld both let you bring your own sweets, crisps or fizzy pop, though you can't take any hot food or alcohol. If your local cinema is one of these, this could be a really good way to save money. Odeon and Picturehouse cinemas don't let you take in any food from home – you can only eat food you've bought there.
But you could still get snacks for less at Odeon cinemas. The Kids Mix box lets you pick a snack, a drink and a small popcorn for £3.99. And if you're out with the whole family, the Family Mix box is only £9.99 – that's two Kids Mixes, two medium drinks and a medium popcorn.
If you go to the cinema at least once a week, a cinema subscription from Cineworld or Odeon might be a cheaper option. This means you can see all the films you want in a month without having to pay any extra. Cineworld's Unlimited deal is £16.90 a month or £19.90 if you live in London, while Odeon Limitless costs £17.99 a month or £19.99 for London cinemagoers.
Keep in mind a cinema subscription is only really worth it if you already go to the pictures a lot and you're looking to save on the cost of this. If you don't really go that much, it's probably better value to keep buying your tickets each time you go.
The time and day of your cinema trip can make a big difference to the cost. If you're happy to go for a midweek movie in the early evening, you could save a lot. Odeon and Vue both offer a discount on tickets for showings Monday to Thursday before 5pm.
Meerkat Movies offers two-for-one cinema tickets for Compare the Market customers for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So if you've bought insurance through the comparison site, it's well worth hunting out the code you need to apply for this deal.
You could also save a few quid if you're willing to be patient when the next blockbuster hits the screen. Cinemas will often boost the price of tickets for the biggest films when they first come out. If you give it a few weeks, they could drop in price so you could still see the big hits for less.
Getting money off your cinema trip is all well and good but what if you want to pay nothing for your films? You can do just that with free screening schemes like ShowFilmFirst and Tellten. Just sign up to the sites and you'll get an email whenever there are any free tickets available in your area.
These screenings are generally for smaller independent films, but sometimes you can pick up tickets to a blockbuster as well. The reason cinemas offer these free tickets is for promotion – you see the film and if you like it, you're more likely to tell your friends to go too. That's definitely a win-win in our books!
Planning on a cheap cinema trip for a first date? Find out how you can impress a date without breaking the bank.


A small multiplayer Asteroids. Shots that hit the borders become asteroids in other players worlds. You can play alone(borders warp around) but it's more fun if you play with other people!
For the source just unzip the .love version.
i submit my game votes in bulks so that the game stay longer in the front and more people play it at the same time. so just wait a minute or 2 if there is nobody else online.
huge bandwidth usage and related disconnects/lags should be fixed now.
Nice idea, matches the theme. Too bad there we're not many people playing when I tried it. Good job!
It's a very, very cool idea, but it needs a really good server to work, that doesn't exist.
I really like the idea. With a bit more polish I could see this being a fun, intense local multiplayer game.
The idea is really nice, even though I could not play in multiplayer.
That is a VERY interesting game. I liked the concept very much. It was really fun playing it.
The only problem that I was lagging (or others were) and I couldn't really play for long. But the few minutes of play were worth it. Well done job and I like the minimalistic art :D.
Netcode needs quite a lot of polish (it's either very laggy or I seem to be playing by myself) but this is a nice take on Asteroids and the multiplayer aspect seems to fit the theme very well. A pretty interesting game overall.
Yeah nice to see those classics again in a new content!
Neat mechanics and an impressive network feature. Fun game.
Big idea for a jam, I think I waited to long to get a test with anyone. But appreciate it.
How did you learn to make working netcode in such short time? Any tips?
Game has a cool concept, you should polish it a little and make a game out of it.
@teamrocketbear i'm using lua-enet for transport and simply transfer all information 20times/sec. later i reduced the needed traffic by rounding everything down to only 2 decimal places. post jam version will use a binary serializerinstead of the text one i'm using now. netcode is in systems/network.lua. but it's pretty ugly.
Great idea and solid mechanics and controls. Like the idea of an classic game adapted to the ld theme.
Nice idea, but I don't want to shoot myself. How do I go multiplayer?
Wow. I hardly ever see any local multiplayer games on the LD, let alone online multiplayers. Congratulations for being the first, as well as managing to make a cute, fun game.
thanks, i thought i'd give it a try as the core game mechanic was pretty easy to implement.
Really good concept, perfect with the theme, and it made with löve, so ... cool !
Got a runtime error when I managed to hit my first asteroid. Other than that, great idea and take on the theme!
Fun game even when playing alone. The firre=spawn idea seems very innovative to me. Gravity games need some inertia but I think that turnspeed inertia is not a good idea. Inertia in speed is more than enough to make the dodging difficult.
Good game, I got 120 points. I like the concept, it adapted well to the theme and was fun to play. Perhaps, rotation was a little too loose. Nice work!
Dang, cool idea. Really hard to control your ship though.
Great take on the theme!
Good idea ! Too bad there's no one on line and crash bugs.
Cool idea. But a little bit too hard for me since the controls are not fast enough. Unfortunately no other players where areound, but the idea of a multiplayer game is cool.

Economic Impacts of Commercial Real Estate, 2019 Edition
By: Dr. Stephen S. Fuller
Development and construction of new commercial real estate in the United States – office, industrial, warehouse and retail – generates significant economic growth at the state and national levels. This annual study, "The Economic Impacts of Commercial Real Estate," published by the NAIOP Research Foundation, measures the contribution to GDP, salaries and wages generated and jobs supported from the development and operations of commercial real estate.
By: Dr. Hany Guirguis, Manhattan College, and Dr. Joshua Harris, New York University
The U.S. office market posted solid net absorption levels in the second and third quarters of 2018 of 18.0 million and 11.0 million square feet, respectively. This level of new leasing is likely due to higher-than-expected economic growth and the subsequent demand brought about by jobs created in the office-using sectors.

The Office Property and Big Data Puzzle: Putting the Pieces Together
By: Kimberly Winson-Geideman, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer, Property, University of Melbourne, Melbourne School of Design, Parkville, Victoria, Australia
The use of big data offers great potential, while it also presents challenges. This white paper seeks to define big data and to identify some of the obstacles and opportunities associated with it in the context of managing office properties. It includes a general overview of the topic as well as examples of how property managers are collecting and analyzing data within their office properties.
Property Management,
The forecast for demand for industrial space has risen because of increased expectations of broad macroeconomic growth and job generation for the remainder of 2018 and 2019. According to Dr. Hany Guirguis of Manhattan College and Dr. Joshua Harris of New York University, quarterly net absorption is expected to increase to an average of 60 million square feet for the latter half of 2018 and then moderate to 56 million square feet per quarter in 2019.
The U.S. office markets averaged just 4.4 million square feet of positive net absorption over the past two quarters; specifically, 7.4 million square feet were absorbed in the fourth quarter of 2017 and just 1.3 million square feet were leased on a net basis in the first quarter of 2018, according to CBRE. These figures came in significantly below the 10.8 million square foot quarter average forecast six months ago.

By: Dr. Joshua Harris, NYU and Dr. Hany Guirguis, Manhattan College
With two consecutive quarters of annualized U.S. GDP growth exceeding 3.0 percent — as well as general strength in most other economic indicators, such as the U.S. unemployment rate as measured by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. consumer confidence index as measured by the Conference Board — net absorption of office space is forecast to move up to an average of 10.4 million square feet per quarter in 2018, from 9.3 million square feet per quarter in the forecast issued six months ago.
After a slow start in the first quarter of 2017, the U.S. economy appears to be back in expansion mode with GDP growing at an annualized rate of 2.6 percent in the second quarter. Job creation has averaged about 195,000 net new jobs per month throughout this year and unemployment has settled near all-time lows at 4.3 percent as of July 2017.
By: Dr. Joshua Harris, University of Central Florida and Dr. Hany Guirguis, Manhattan College
As the economy improves, so does the forecast for net absorption of office space. According to Dr. Hany Guirguis, Manhattan College, and Dr. Joshua Harris, University of Central Florida, the forecast calls for approximately 39.7 million square feet to be absorbed in 2017 — about 10 million square feet per quarter — similar to the 41.4 million square feet actually absorbed in 2016.
The forecast for 2017 calls for quarterly net absorption to average approximately 64 million square feet, a level similar to that realized in 2016. The model, run quarterly by Dr. Hany Guirguis, Manhattan College, and Dr. Joshua Harris, University of Central Florida, suggests that net absorption could slow to 57 million square feet per quarter in 2018 due to variation in model variables that measure GDP and unemployment. However, given uncertainty regarding federal policies and their effects on the overall economy, this figure could be revised substantially based on unforeseen events.
Development and construction of new commercial real estate – office, industrial, warehouse and retail – continues to be a powerful contributor to the U.S. and individual state economies, supporting approximately 3.2 million American jobs and contributing $450 billion to U.S. GDP in 2015, according to a new report released by the NAIOP Research Foundation.

Exploring the New Sharing Economy
By: John Madden, Director of Sustainability and Engineering Campus + Community Planning, University of British Columbia
The "sharing economy" has been receiving a lot of buzz across popular media, academic and business circles, and local government as well as social enterprises. As the label suggests, the sharing economy is a means of sharing goods, services, ideas, information and skills through a network of individuals, often facilitated through social networks via computers and mobile apps.
As the final quarter of 2016 unfolds, Dr. Hany Guirguis, Manhattan College, and Dr. Joshua Harris, University of Central Florida, project that the U.S. office market will post approximately 33.0 million square feet of positive net absorption for the year.
The U.S. economy in the first half of 2016 can be characterized as slowing but still growing, as GDP registered a revised 0.8 percent annualized growth rate in the first quarter and 1.2 percent in the second quarter (first estimate).
The national office market is forecast to absorb approximately 34.6 million square feet of space in 2016, down from 62.1 million square feet in 2015, as economic growth flattens in the U.S., according to the NAIOP Office Space Demand Forecast, Second Quarter 2016 Report.

By: L. Nicholas Ronderos, Regional Planning Association
