Friday 27th July 2018 brought with it an unusual lunar event; a Blood Moon. While most of us might stare up at the copper red phenomenon that brightens the sky with awe and wonder, spare a thought for the tireless rangers to which the blood moon takes on an entirely different and more sinister meaning.
For rangers who work relentlessly to protect endangered rhinos, the advent of the full Moon brings with it an intense period of high alert. Extra vigilance is paramount, as these lunar spectacles are often known colloquially as the 'poachers' moon. During the full moon in May 2017, nine fresh rhino carcasses were found dead and dehorned at the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa, and eight were killed during a Supermoon event in 2015.
Blood moons are a specific type of lunar eclipse, in which the full Moon passes directly behind the Earth and into its shadow. This causes the Sun's rays to bend as they go through the Earth's atmosphere. Red light is least affected by this bend, causing the Moon to take on the ominous tone.
It has long been thought that poachers take advantage of the full Moon, and it has been noted that increased deaths occur in the days surrounding this monthly moon phase. Brighter skies bring with them improved night-time visibility, eliminating the need for unnatural light sources – such as torches – which might give away poachers' positions. Every full Moon signifies a red alert for rangers and anti-poaching teams, in turn increasing patrols for a few days either side of the event.
For most of us, we only pay attention to the Moon during rare phenomena such as the Blood Moon, or the even more rare Supermoon. A Supermoon can be up to 30% brighter than when the Moon is at its furthest point from Earth, unfortunately making the night even more deadly for rhinos.
While the link between moon phases and poaching is clear on the ground, there is very little research available on the relationship between rhino poaching and the lunar calendar: studying the behaviour of poachers is fraught with difficulty – and highly dangerous. A recent study stated that "patterns of illegal activities are important in solving the poaching problem, and that the drivers of poaching are poorly understood and documented", but that "it has become evident from various communications that the light of the moon plays an important role in poaching events".
However, ranger's anecdotal evidence is overwhelming. "It's one of the most loathed times", said a Section Ranger at Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, "when the moon shines like the sun at midday, it is ideal night-time conditions for rhino poachers to practice their trade".
So while you are observing an amazing lunar event, remember the full Moon is a monthly issue that adds to the burden of care for some of our most vulnerable species. As rhino numbers continue to decline it is more important than ever to increase research in this area and provide vital support for the brave on the ground teams, who battle on with the war against poaching.

When I invested into KAS Bank, the Dutch, the main motivation was the cheap valuation and the stable core business (custody). One add-on was that they wanted to extend their retail business together with dwp bank from Germany.
As a compensation for the loss of the anticipated annual saving that KAS BANK would have realised from 2016 onwards, dwp bank will pay KAS BANK a lump sum at the end of June which, after deducting the costs in 2014, amounts to approximately € 20 million. KAS BANK will use this one-off compensation to invest in further improving its efficiency and its services to institutional investors. dwp bank will focus its future investments on improving the quality and standards of its operations and IT.
20 mn compensation for a 160 mn Market company is a lot, but it seems that this contract would have been quite good for KAS Bank going forward. Maybe it was so good that dwp bank only recognized it after signing ? I don't know. In any case, I think the "Value case" for KAS Bank is still intact. Book value should still be achievable, which would mean the stock has still 50% upside let, despite the quite satisfactory performance of +58% (incl. dividends) since I bought the stock 2 years ago.
A few weeks ago, I finally sold the rest of my April SA position. I never really explained this in more detail. When I first looked at April SA, I didn't buy it because the stock was not cheap enough (part 1, part 2, follow up, follow up).
Nevertheless, the new-found enthusiasm for European and especially French stocks led to a significant multiple expansion from around 8xP/E to ~ 14xP/E in June. Although I still think that April is not a bad company, I had to admit that the ~63% return I made on the stock was much more luck than anything else as I don't think that multiple expansion like this (even considering shrinking EPS) could be forecasted. Additionally, I found much more interesting alternatives in the insurance sector (Admiral, NN Group), so I decided to sell although the two years holding period were shorter than I would normally target.
A few days ago, Draeger revised their guidance for 2014 significantly downwards. The stock got hammered significantly, the Genußscheine lost some value as well but less than the shares.
At almost 6 times the Pref shares, the relative risk/return ratio is not as good as it was before. With almost 7%, the Draeger Genußschein is still with a margin my largest position. In order to reflect the somehow lower relative potential of this position, I will cut the position to a 5% stake going forward.
No real news but a very interesting developement at my largest portfolio position, Draeger Genußscheine.
As a refresher: The "Genußscheine" include the right to receive 10 times the dividend of the pref shares (DRW3, ISIN DE0005550636). I started the position as a long Genußschein / Short pref shares "carry trade". I decided to cover the short when Drager issued a EUR 210 offer and keep the Genußscheine as this put a floor under the price.
Now, in the last view days one can see something interesting happening: The Pref shares trade lower while the Genußscheine jumped.
If we look at the 10 year history of price of the Genußscheine divided by price of the prefs , we can see that the relation has increased significantly to a 10 year high at currently around 3.7 times.
I didn't find any real news, however in some internet boards there is a speculation that either Draeger might increase the dividend or even come out with a higher offer. I am not sure about that if they will really do something.
For the patient investor, I think the Genußscheine will be still an intersting medium term investment. For the portfolio I will hold them unless I find something better, there is no need to sell.
I think this is the same lesson as from the AIRE KGaA example as well as with the Bertelsmann Genußschein: If someone really wants to have a company or a certain share class / security , it usually pays off to wait and not jump on the first offer.
In the past, I often used to sell at the first offer, being happy to make a nice gain quickly. But as those two example show (so far), the risk /return relationship of just doing nothing and wait further seems to be quite good.
The only "problem" now is that the position is currently 10.2% of the portfolio. a ~10% is kind of the maximum I can stand for a single position, I will have to decide to sell if the Genußschein moves further.
5. However, Draeger could afford to raise the dividend quite fast back to or above last years levels as it doesn't hurt shareholders anymore (positive).
Now we are somewhere in between. The percentage is high enough so that Draeger does not need to do really nasty stuff, although the percentage is too low to see higher dividends on very short notice. Draeger will also be motivated to buy anything which comes on the market under 210 EUR, so going forward there is a nice "put" under the current market price.
Siemens had already seen the value in the convert market last month and looked to take advantage once again by attaching the warrants into pref shares, which were turned into a tradable warrant by Deutsche Bank, to a bond. Rather than take the normal approach of a Deutsche Bank SPV bond, some Bunds of a near tenor (2.5% February 2015s) were sourced and bundled – to create a German state exchangeable into Draegerwerk, without either party being involved.
The bonds of €79.6m principal trade at 106% of par and the March 2015 bonds were issued with a 2.5% coupon and packaged with the warrants for a total 134.631% of par to raise €107.17m. A placing in the illiquid prefs helped with the delta hedge for hedge funds that dominated the book of about 40 lines. As the warrants have an exercise price of €63.68, versus the €78.40 placing price, this was a true technical trade, but a few outrights were interested and were filled in full.
So basically Siemens did cash out the Warrants from Draeger which they got when they sold their JV stake to Draeger. They used this structure so that hedge funds could invest in this instrument and extract the option premium.
Following yesterday's post about the 210 EUR offer per "Genußschein", some other interesting aspects should be considered.
Many Draeger shareholders were maybe well aware of the effective massive dilution through the Genußscheine. The repurchase offer with 210 EUR is considered to be very advantagous for shareholders and therefore the net effect of the Announcement (Dividend reduction against cheap repurchase price) is a positive for shareholders.
As the announcement alone maybe caused this jump, a high acceptence ratio could possibly move the stock price even higher. So there is a lot of "upside risk" in the stock from a short perspective.
Another reason for the jump in the share price could of cours be some short covering, if I was not the only one who has the relative value trade in place.
So we can see, there are many paths how this could develop.
I think what is also interesting in this case is the fact that as Genußscheinholder the interests are not aligned with Management (and shareholders) but directly opposed. This is something one should keep in mind.
In a classic "carrot and stick" approach, Draeger issued a buyback offer today for the Genußscheine at EUR 210.
The German announcement is quite funny, they argue to finance the repurchase with a one time dividend cut by ~-90%. This one time cut wouldn't even finance 5% of the to be repurchased Genußscheine, so the only reason to do this is to scare some Genußschein holders to sell if the yield drops to less then one percent. As an additional effect the 2011 result of Draeger shows a positive effect as they have already accrued a higher amount of interest for the Genußscheine.
Going forward, they announce additionally to reduce the dividend from the current 30% of net income to 15% of net income until they meet their target equity ratio of 40%.
If history is any guide, as a Genußschein holder you most likely should just lean back relax and get some popcorn.
Bertelsmann in 2010 was in a similar situation and tried to buy back their Genußscheine at 180, from that the price went straight to 225.
Inmy opinion the Draeger offerproves the following: They actually proved that the Genußscheine are a problem for the shareholders andthey need to get read of them. Effectively they introduced a "put option" at EUR 210 for the Genußscheinholder.
There might be less liquidity in the future,but with the preference shares at 70 EUR plus,the 210 EUR are still a joke.
For the long Genußschein short Vorzug strategy in the portfolio I will reduce the short position at least by half,as the implicit put at 210 EUR reduces the downside significantly.
Draeger Genußschein – die billigste Medizintechnik Aktie der Welt !!!!
Mal schauen ob die reisserische Schlagzeile den Kurs hochbringt, aber Spass bei Seite.
Draeger hatte ja wie gestern berichtet eine Anpassung der geplanten EBIT MArge nach oben gemeldet, die genaue Meldung findet sich hier.
Die Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA erwartet für das Geschäftsjahr 2011 ein besseres Ergebnis als bisher prognostiziert. Das Unternehmen rechnet nun – unter der unveränderten Annahme eines leichten Umsatzwachstums – mit einer EBIT-Marge von 8,0 bis 9,5 Prozent (bisher 7,5 bis 8,5 Prozent).
Nachdem im letzten Jahr die EBIT Marge bei 8,9% lag und der Umsatz fast stabil ist würde ich das mal so übersetzen: Der EBIT bei Dräger wird vmtl. auf Vorjahreshöhe oder leicht darüber liegen.
EPS waren im letzten Jahr 6,19 EUR. Auf diesen "Schock" hin haben einige Analysten Ihre EPS Ziele gleich mal nach oben gesetzt, so z.B. WestLB von 5.39 EUR auf 6,33 EUR und die Commerzbank gleich von 4.69 EUR auf ebenfalls 6,33 EUR.
Das erklärt natürlich auch den mehr als 10% Sprung der Aktie. Auf Basis dieser Zahlen sieht die Aktie mit einem P/E von 14,5 nicht teuer aus.
Wir hatten ja in einem früheren Posting schon mal darauf hin gewiesen, dass man ökonomisch eigentlich "fully diluted" rechnen sollte.
Damit ergeben sich als "Diluted Earnings" ungefähr (6.33x(10.16+6.35)+10)/(10.16+6.35+11.41)= 3,74 EUR pro Aktie für 2011. Dann wären die Vorzüge mit einem KGV von 23.5 recht sportlich bewertet.
Theoretisch kann man das natürlich auch aus Sicht des Genußscheins rechnen: für knapp 180 EUR bekomme ich 10×3.74 oder 37,4 EUR Gewinnanteil. Das macht ein KGV für den Genußschein von schlappen 4,8 !!!
Fazit: Damit dürfte die Überschrift wieder stimmen, der Genusßschein ist mit einem KGV von 4.8 wohl tatsächlich eine der billigsten (profitablen) Medizintechnikaktien der Welt. Heisst halt blöderweise "Genußschein".

Q: Converting a for loop to a recursive function I have a code block I would like to convert to a recursive block of code that doesn't use for or while loops.  Suggestions?
sprite = function(dataset, pos){
  var size ={nrows : 3, ncolumns :3};
  var data = [];
  for(row = pos.row0; row < pos.row0+size.nrows; row++) {
    for(column = pos.column0; column < pos.column0+size.ncolumns; column++) {
      if(column == pos.column0) {
        data.push([dataset[row][column]]);
      } else {
        data[row].push(dataset[row][column]);
      }
    }
  }
  return data;
}

A: The usual pattern is to convert a loop like
while(condition(x)){
    //do something
}

into
var go = function(x){
    if(condition(x)){
       //do something
       return go(nextValueOfX);
    }else{
       return finalReturnValue;
    }
}
go(0);

Basically, the loop condition becomes an if, iteration becomes an explicit recursive call and variables are either closed over or passed as arguments (depending on what is more convenient).

In your case it might look like
sprite = function(dataset, pos){
  var size ={nrows : 3, ncolumns :3};
  var data = [];
  var outerFor = function(row){
     if(row < pos.row0+size.nrows){
        var innerFor = ...;
        innerFor(0);
        outerFor(row+1);
     }
  }
  outerFor(0);
  return data;
}

Note that you would need to add some extra bells and whistles if you also want to convert this to continuation-passing-style for use with async code. I  didn't explain that because I assume you are only doing this out of curiosity.

CHICAGO – "Jimi: All Is by My Side" shows the Jimi Hendrix experience without having the rights to the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It's an unofficial rumination that doesn't have any Hendrix songs, and it focuses on a more day-in-the-life perspective of the rock star, albeit in a career period that would be scooted over through montage in any other film. The endeavor is ambitious in its desires, and stands out most of all for its experimental nature than it does for trying to achieve a truth higher than fact.

The IPv6 tunnel via HE worked fine, but I was not really pleased with the roundtrip times to their access point. So, when I got a new server hosted by my former employer last year, one that comes with a /56 IPv6 space, this gave me another tunneling opportunity.
In between I had trashed the Mikrotik router described in an earlier article after it had bricked itself when I tried to reset the configuration just like it was documented. Last straw and all that. The new one is an EdgeRouter PoE from Ubuiqiti, with which I am mostly happy. It has its weak points, too, but it is openly based on Debian and Vyatta, meaning you don't even have to break out of the configuration CLI to access any Unix commands. (The web GUI is nice and shiny, but very limited in its capabilities.) The CLI is modeled after JunOS, which made me feel at home fast.
Vyatta offers OpenVPN out of the box, so it was easy to set up a tunnel configuration to an OpenVPN instance on my server. This way I have a /60 tunneled to my home, which should be plenty. And other than with HE, the roundtrip times are in the single digits of milliseconds.

Home›Real Estate Wholesaling›Top 3 Newbie Wholesaling FAQs—Answered!
Does wholesaling make you feel stupid at times? If you answered yes to this question, you're not alone.
Many people are confused and feel lost when it comes to beginning a career as a wholesaler. The purpose of this writing is not to delve into the intricacies of wholesaling—because I (and many others) have done this already. Instead, I will answer the three questions I'm asked most often.
1. What is the best way to get started?
FYI: You've started already, but most people stop without taking consistent action. Yes, by reading this article, you've shown interest in wholesaling, and that is the first step.
But stop believing everything will happen overnight. You have to start with education.
Education is essential to becoming a successful wholesaler—like it is to becoming many things. And I am not talking about the quick crash course to $5,000 in 30 days.
I'm referring to the education you need about your specific market, trends, and marketing. There are many times I see people buy a course or read a book and try to get started, but they know nothing about their market. These courses try to incorporate a one-size-fits-all approach, but the fact is every market is different.
2. What should I educate myself about first?
What areas are in high demand? Do you know the average days on market?
What is the estimated rehab cost per square foot? What are the buying criteria for a certain area?
What are investors in the area looking for—to buy fix and flips, rentals, single family units, or multifamily units?
Educating yourself and being able to answer these questions is step one in truly being able to get started. So, if you're trying to find deals and you cannot answer these questions, you're going to have a problem.
It's OK to be a newbie, but it's not OK to not have done your homework.
First, do you know what a motivated seller is? Honestly, this sounds like a very stupid question, but I have to inform newbies repeatedly that all sellers who respond to a marketing piece are not motivated.
For example, if the seller is fixing the property up and they say they will be ready to sell when they are done, this is not a motivated seller.
In addition, a seller looking to sell $5,000 below market is not motivated. This isn't meant to sound condescending; I'm just trying to prevent you from learning the hard way.
Identifying motivation is an art; it's like digging for gold. Not every stone you see will be a gem, but by continuing to dig, you will encounter that rare find.
So, what if you feel uncomfortable asking the seller how much they owe on their mortgage? The art is asking open-ended questions without being intrusive.
Perfecting this technique is done through repetition. If you need to make mock calls with a friend, partner, or spouse, then do that!
The key to finding motivated sellers is for you to identify the problem and have them acknowledge it.
Some sellers will clearly have a problem but are not willing to admit it. These people may need some coercing before they are ready to be forthcoming.
There are many forms of marketing. You will need to be specific about who you will target and how you will target them. I will not go into depth here because marketing is a blog post in itself. However, I will inform you that whichever method you use, consistency is the key.
The number of times you reach out to a seller must be a minimum of six touches. Others may suggest more, but six should be the minimum.
Once you've identified your marketing strategy, you will need to identify your target population. This will be a direct result of knowing your market, like I spoke about above.
You will flat out waste money if you do not identify these metrics before starting. Marketing will be expensive, and I'm sure in the beginning most newbies don't have extra money to waste by doing things incorrectly.
This is a very valid question. Besides money, the most important resource will be cooperative relationships that help you progress. You will look completely incompetent if you're trying to do a deal and you don't have these resources and relations at least initiated.
Here are just a few people to work toward incorporating into your circle: real estate agent, buyers, title agent, attorney, and wholesalers. Also, work on your conversational skills and have a positive attitude.
You will not know everything, and each deal can present different challenges. Having solid resources and relationships will help you a lot.
I've needed attorneys on some deals, and I've needed title agents on all deals. Real estate agents are very useful, as well as other wholesalers to bounce questions off of.
I am very appreciative of my resources and relationships and work very hard not to damage or neglect them.
I want you to be brutally honest with yourself. Does wholesaling make you feel stupid at times?
I can truly say yes. Even though I've been doing this for numerous years, I still find myself dumbfounded by some of the deals I'm working on.
If you're a seasoned investor or a newbie and wholesaling, have you felt stupid at one point?
I'm a newbie and my question is "what is it" and I don't think that was answered.
Awesome, great layman's explanation thank you!
1. tons of marketing – to get sellers to call you before anyone else knows about the property. You can't purchase low enough to wholesale a property if you have competition for the purchase.
2. skills. Purchasing a property at deep discount takes knowing the things you listed – your area and values – plus negotiating skills. This comes with experience.
3. buyers. You must be constantly networking to have rehabbers waiting for your deals. The idea with wholesaling is that its quick and its cash. It's not quick if you don't have waiting buyers.
Hey Marcus, great post I've been following your videos on YouTube the past few days and just found you on BP. One question I'm trying to wrap my head around is HOW to go about studying a market. But also WHAT market? I live in Lawrenceville, Ga which is 45 northeast of Atlanta, more of a suburb etc. Can I start here or should I be in the city? I'm concerned that it's not a "Hot" area but with limited time and gas it's much easier to access my area than Atl. Thanks for great content!
Marcus, great post… watched a few of your YouTube videos (thanks to Devin). Thanks for the honesty and "tough" truths. I'm in the Atlanta market and I'm working to gain the "market education" that you talk about. I've narrowed in on two neighborhoods that where flippers seem busy buying. Currently in the process of trying to reverse engineer a buyer's list. Thanks to this post, I have some great new question for my agent contacts. Thanks again!
Hey Marcus! Thanks for this and many other informational posts. I'm a truly a newbie and I am trying to take the very first step which is educating myself. I have read many of your posts already with my handy pen and notebook ready. I'm learning so much and feel that I will be ready soon to start putting into action all of the things that I have learned.
Just read it. Thank you for the article, very helpful!
Thank you for this information. This is great!
Thanks for this! I feel like I have been wasting my time/life up until recently. I did not even know wholesaling was a thing. NO LONGER!

COP26 and net zero - a catalyst for greater collaboration in the construction sector?
COP26, which ended last month, shone a spotlight on net zero as a key element of the global challenge to keep the rise in the world's atmospheric temperatures to within 1.5 degrees by 2050. For the real estate sector, the implications of net zero on existing and new-build projects are very real and far-reaching. The vast majority of buildings that will exist in 2050 are already in place, so there's a critical imperative to improve the energy performance and sustainability credentials of existing building stock, and to make all new buildings as close to net zero as quickly as possible.
Although the net zero challenge is not a new one, the imperative to achieve this is greater now than ever before. Reusing existing building structures is both challenging and potentially expensive, but it is essential to the real estate sector's net zero goals; an objective that is increasingly demanded of developers by prospective buyers, tenants and investors.
There are already examples of building projects that have successfully achieved net zero by reusing existing structures. At London's 100 Liverpool Street within the Broadgate Campus, for example, developer, British Land (and JV partner, GIC), recently partnered with contractor, Sir Robert McAlpine, to deliver one of the city's most prestigious net zero carbon developments, garnering an Outstanding BREEAM rating in the process. 32% of the new development's steel frame came from the existing building along with 49% of the building's concrete – including 100% of the foundations. British Land was able to achieve net zero by offsetting the remaining embodied carbon.
Signposting the way ahead
The need to embrace sustainability and net zero is clear and has been publicly endorsed by the UK's major developers in the real estate world. As well as the motive to 'do the right thing', there are other more pragmatic reasons for this embrace. Investors, shareholders, future buyers and occupiers are demanding sustainable building stock, so the threat of devalued real estate assets is a major driver. It will inevitably become increasingly difficult for developers to sell a new building profitably without it being A-grade for sustainability. Legislative developments and more defined industry standards will further drive change.
Collective collaboration
Within the context of an increasingly difficult environment for the industry - where the drive towards net zero is just one of a number of challenges it's currently facing - the construction sector should use COP26 as a catalyst for thinking harder about collaborative opportunities with stakeholders. Collaboration is key to finding ways to improvise, to innovate and to take considered risks. To achieve net zero we will need to seize every opportunity we can.
British Land and Sir Robert McAlpine's successful collaboration on the regeneration of Broadgate is based around a strong project culture, using a 10-year framework agreement. On the 100 Liverpool Street development, the team embraced a motto which permeated the entirety of the project: "trust, honesty and collaboration".
To see this kind of approach filter across the construction sector, contractual mechanisms are needed that encourage the sharing of risk and improve project culture but which also protect the commercial position of both parties. Construction contracts can achieve these goals in a number of ways, for example, by providing for: KPIs that set out a shared purpose in relation to net zero targets; early contractor involvement; consistency of key team members; good faith obligations; shared financial motivation; and dispute avoidance and early warning mechanisms. Such provisions, of course, go hand-in-hand with a more collaborative approach towards design and technology, which can be facilitated by embedding BIM across the construction contracts as a shared tool for storing and using data to drive sustainability through the build and operational phases of the asset.
While "business collaboration" is often seen as an oxymoron in terms of corporate success, meeting net zero will be impossible without it. With the increased urgency around reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment, the industry is running out of time quickly in terms of finding solutions. There is no single magic bullet that will make net zero happen but collaboration that instils purpose and trust will be a cornerstone of how we get there.

Let us start with some Situation Test FAQs to clear the air of doubts.
What is the NIFT Situation Test ?
The situation test is a two hour test held at the NIFT campus for those students who clear the first part of the exam. This is the final stage in the exam for getting through this dream institute to study an under an undergraduate course of your choice. After this there is no other test and NIFT comes out with the final results. Once you have appeared for this test, you will have to wait for another month or so to get to know if you are going to be studying at NIFT or not !
What to expect in the Situation Test for NIFT?
What is the task ?
The task in the NIFT situation test is to create a 3D model which is self standing, well presented and pot raying the given theme. What you make would be judged by a panel of NIFT faculty and industry experts and marked. This test carries a weight of 20% of the total. Sounds like a small percentage but in the stiff competition, a mark more in this test can get you through or give you a better ranking which would ultimately come handy while choosing the center from the various NIFT locations.
What are they looking for in my creation ?
A spark. enthusiasm. dedication. ability. uniqueness of idea. a go-getter attitude. a spirited approach to work. Anything which tells them that this kid is definitely capable of something. They are not looking for a ready made designer but someone who has the characterstics which would make a good designer. And when someone has been on a job to look for this type of talent amongst so many, one develops an eye to spot that in the work. This is exactly what the examiners do. They are on a lookout for raw talent which they can groom into future designers.
It's pretty logical. Try to put yourself into their shoes and you will understand it better.
How do I prepare for the NIFT Situation Test?
Create your unique creative identity so that out of the 4000 odd models that will be made on that day your model should stand out. We here at Trendz Academy provide the best training for NIFT that will guide you the process to reach unique creative identity through our class room coaching programmer and for those who can't come down to our center we have a postal coaching for situation test also.
Aesthetics & utility are very important point.


Lindsay's Book Chat: 'Amice and the Mercenary' - Sequel to 'Mistress Angel'. OUT NOW!
'Amice and the Mercenary' - Sequel to 'Mistress Angel'. OUT NOW!
Amice is a mistress of sugar and spices but is she always mistress of her heart?
England in the summer of 1357 is a nervous, triumphant place. The English king holds the King of France hostage—but there are plots afoot to see this French monarch assassinated. Duke Henry begs beautiful Amice, the spice seller, for her help to counter and reveal such plots. Amice is an expert in the secrets of spices and poisons. She agrees to help for her own personal reason—revenge.
But Amice must work in the glittering, dangerous world of the royal court, snubbed and mocked for her own dark-skinned beauty, until she is rescued by the notorious mercenary, Harry Swynford—charming, charismatic, and lethal.
In the shifting alliances of the court, which side is Harry Swynford on? In this world of poison among the feasts, can Amice stop an assassin in time? Harry has his own games to play, and although she is powerfully attracted to him, Amice is wary. Lives—including her own—are at stake.
Can their happiness last, or will their enemies tear them apart? What price revenge against true love?.
Amice said nothing. She and the duke sat together at her best friend's wedding, drinking French wine and watching the other guests dance. Throughout the simple country marriage feast, Duke Henry had spoken of the great golden beauty of the bride Isabella, of the good fortune of Stephen, the bridegroom, and of the mild summer weather—all safe, conventional subjects. His leaning toward her now and speaking of the guardianship of kings was unexpected. She raised her dark eyebrows.
And knights and nobles live for such times. Again, Amice remained silent.
"But you know poisons," the duke countered.
"I do not blend in," Amice said, interested to see how Duke Henry responded to that truth. Her parents had been Londoners like herself, but her grandparents were African. She was as dark as Saint Maurice. Even at home, people stared at her in the street.
Sweets, spiced and difficult to create. Their taste would mask much, including poison. "I can make those." And watch perhaps as other sweets are made.
"I see." How strange. This king is his captive yet the duke still wishes to be regarded as a perfect host.
Amice inclined her head at the compliment, glad to hide her eyes as she thought furiously. If I agree to this and I am mostly in the still room , does it mean he suspects a woman? Has there already been trouble? "And for other kinds of assassins?" she prompted.
Amice was glad that her coloring did not betray her feelings, although she felt as if an arrow had pierced her. "Sir Gilles of Picardy?" She spoke with seeming unconcern. "I had heard he was dead, cut down in a skirmish in Normandy." Her beloved older brother Nigel had told her this on his death-bed and she had believed him. Why should I not, when Sir Gilles was the one who gave Nigel his death-blow?
"The report is that he is a good man to have your back in a fight…." came back the frustrating answer.
"Truly?" I know that to be wrong, thought Amice grimly, recalling what her brother had said.
"I will see my Isabella and her Stephen on their honeymoon, and then I will come," Amice promised, her heart beating furiously. Nigel had been so certain that the Frenchman had not survived, that he had seen the man cut down. To cross the path of this Sir Gilles now, she would close up her London spice shop and live at the duke's palace of the Savoy for as long as it took. This English mercenary, this Harry Swynford, he will not stop me in my quest. For all he has done, Sir Gilles deserves to die. He will do so at my hand. The French king I will watch, too, but only for the chance of revenging myself on that French knight. Let my golden Isabella be settled and happy and then I shall begin.
Now read about Amice as a character in Mistress Angel.

What is kumyshka
Kumyshka (vodka votyaks) - Udmurt national alcoholic drink. According to scientists, the word kumyshka came from the Turkic word kumys, which was cooked in the same way, only from Mare's milk.
Kumyshka history goes back many centuries. It is impossible to name the exact date of the drink, but the first mention of it dates back to the 16th century. Originally comisco did distillation of soured cow's, sheep's or horse's milk. Even in the 19th century, the southern fiefdoms still made milk from milk, the fortress of such a drink did not exceed a few degrees. To date, in Udmurtia called moonshine, which is not quite correct, as it has its own secret recipe. Each family - your drink: the taste, the smell, and the transparency and strength. Comisco brewed only by women. At someone it turns out surprisingly well, someone's not coming out.
The strength of the drink depends on its composition and varies greatly from 2 to 40 degrees. The Udmurts southern regions did comisco weak fortress 2 degrees. The northerners, on the contrary, always respected the strong drink that burns if you set it on fire. It is very popular in Udmurtia postam - kumyshka, tinted berries - raspberries, cherries, with honey. It is heated on fire and drink hot.
since ancient times kumyshka was used by Udmurts, Mari and other Finno-Ugric tribes in religious rites. It is possible to enter a state of euphoria, to break away from reality and get in touch with the gods.
Despite the former popularity, today kumyshka is not in great demand in Russia. Many researchers believe comisco hazardous to health due to its content of a large percentage of fusel oil. And this is not groundless. As a rule, this drink does not pass any cleaning.

Increased complexity of simulation models has created the need for distributing the execution of simulations on multiple processors. While distributed simulation promises rapid sub-model development and faster execution speeds, it poses two challenging problems: (a) synchronization of distributed simulations and (b) rapid development and deployment of integrated distributed simulation systems. In this doctoral research, a new adaptive synchronization framework was developed to address both of the aforementioned problems. Formal models of distributed discrete-event simulation were created based on the finite-state machine representations of discrete-event systems. These models were used for: (a) analyzing the requirements of distributed simulation synchronization and (b) creating an automated synthesis mechanism for rapid development and deployment of distributed simulation systems. The developed synchronization framework features a novel synchronization protocol, which is based on adaptive pacing of the execution of distributed simulations during interactions. This new synchronization protocol, called Adaptive Partial Pacing (APP) synchronization, relies on synchronized real-time clocks at distributed simulations for coordinated pacing and also features an adaptive pace determination scheme for greater synchronization efficiency. The developed synchronization framework also features an automated synthesis mechanism which allows rapid creation of a synchronization system from simulation models. This capability allows users with limited specific knowledge of distributed simulation synchronization to create and run distribute simulation systems in a short amount of time. The synchronization framework was successfully implemented using the ArenaTM simulation package from Rockwell Automation. The research shows that for loosely coupled simulations, a significant speed-up of the system can be realized. It also shows that for systems with little variability more significant improvements can be achieved.

5 Employment Rights Muslims Should Know About
Here is a short guide to help you navigate the workplace as a Muslim in the UK.
Naed Ladak
The workplace can sometimes be a difficult place if you're Muslim in the UK.
Research has shown that Islamophobia is rampant at work; for example, only 19.8% of Muslims aged 16-74 were in full-time employment, according to a 2017 study, compared to 34.9% of the overall population.
So we thought it would be useful to list five employment rights or issues that Muslim employees in the UK should be aware of, to help them navigate the workplace.
1) Recruitment
Unfortunately, Muslims face prejudice before even stepping foot in the office.
If you have a Muslim name, you're less likely to be called for an interview. A test by the BBC revealed that an applicant with an English sounding name was three times more likely to be offered an interview than an applicant with a Muslim name.
This confirms findings from previous academic studies – for example, Muslim men are 76% less likely to be employed than their white Christian counterparts, according to research by the University of Bristol.
Many employers are using name-blind recruitment processes to try and remove this bias.
2) Discrimination
It is against the Equality Act in the UK to be treated unfairly or differently at work because of your religion or belief. This of course covers being treated unfairly because you're Muslim.
The prohibition includes both direct discrimination, where someone treats you worse than someone else because of your religion, and indirect discrimination, where the same rule applies to everyone but it affects you worse than everyone else because of your religion.
If you think you have been discriminated against at work, then you might want to solve the problem informally first. You may also consider seeking proper legal advice to make a claim.
3) Hijab
Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab face particular discrimination in the workplace.
However, employment law in the UK does not even necessarily respect the choice of women to wear the hijab at work.
A case heard in the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in 2017 held that a workplace ban on the wearing of "any political, philosophical or religious sign", including headscarves, does not necessarily constitute direct discrimination.
This is not a blanket ban on the hijab, as it may only be prohibited under certain circumstances. However, this a worrying precedent to set for Muslim women in the workplace.
4) Drinking
Abstaining from alcohol, for religious reasons or otherwise, can harm your chances at work. Many Muslims in the workplace express a feeling of exclusion at office socialising, which is often centred around alcohol. These are not simply unfounded anecdotes – a study found that drinkers earn 10-14 percent more than abstainers. The results of the study suggested that "social drinking leads to increased social capital".
However, there is also evidence of the negative impact of drinking in the workplace. Up to 17 million working days are lost each year because of alcohol-related sickness, with a cost of £7.3 billion. It is estimated that the average organisation with 200 employees loses an estimated £37,634 per year to alcohol-related harm.
5) Holiday
If you're a full time employee in the UK, you're entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks of paid holiday per year (although your contract may give you more). In other words, this amounts to 28 days' of holiday. Employers are allowed to include the 8 UK bank holidays in this allowance, so that leaves you with at least 20 to play around with.
If you wanted to (and your employer agrees), that's almost enough to book the whole of Ramadan off!
There is no right that guarantees employees time off to attend religious holidays, but it is good practice for employers to accommodate requests where possible.

Niamh McKenna, UK Health Lead, Accenture
|Aug 20| 16 min read
Our life expectancy in the UK is now older than the NHS itself. While last month, we celebrated the NHS turning 70, it wasn't until 1963 that we were expected to live until 70 too. Life expectancy has since buoyed with the average person now expected to live until 81.
While this is a huge triumph for modern science and healthcare, it poses huge pressures for our provision of services. Society is changing, and institutions need to not only respond to, but anticipate change, and that's a huge ask for one as complex and enormous as the NHS.
While much has been written about why an ageing society is a ticking timebomb for our society and economy – it's most pertinent in health. Because how do you manage the health of a population that includes millions of people over 100?
It seems the time is right for looking to technology for help. Last month, health secretary Matt Hancock, unveiled a £487m cash injection for technology to help achieve better services and, crucially, cost savings.
The medical sector has already been the testbed for innovation, whether it's use of 3D printing or surgical robots – but what is missing so far is a change in our focus for how digital can really help the NHS become sustainable and help citizens get better access and quality of care. Because it means shifting our focus from learning from experience to forecasting the future.
Consumers in the UK are crying out for digital in their healthcare, and we are seeing more evidence that people would be open to healthcare coming out of hospitals and into their homes. In our recent survey of 1000 adults in England, the majority of consumers were open to artificial intelligence, virtual clinicians or home-based diagnostics – for example with the use of virtual health coaches and nurses and AI-based clinical services for diagnosing illnesses at home.
But only 13% of consumers have used these kinds of services in England (likely down to lack of availability) – significantly fewer than those who have received virtual care in the U.S. (at 25 percent). While use of virtual care is low, consumers are fundamentally attracted to the benefits of 24-hour availability and the time saved in travel. There is also strong willingness to use it for applications such as medication reminders, healthy activity reminders and daily support for ongoing health issues.

We are all taking healthcare matters into our own hands, and even in our phones, when we think about it. Consumers are increasingly using a variety of digital self-service tools for managing their health. The use of mobile and tablet health apps has tripled over the past four years, from 13 percent in 2014 to 48 percent today.
Similarly, the use of wearable devices has grown five-fold over the past four years, from just 6 percent in 2014 to 31 percent today. More consumers are turning to health wearables — such as those that monitor glucose, heart rate, physical activity and sleep — and seeing these as beneficial to understanding their health condition and monitoring the health of a loved one. Consumers would also be open to seeing their health information, say on a patient portal, and viewing their electronic health records or prescription medication history.
This increase in the number of devices means a wide range of data will have to be absorbed, analysed and converted into diagnosis and treatment support. Pathology reports will need to be combined with data from wearable sensors, home-based pathology tests, diet and exercise data, and heart rate and blood pressure information.
Based on this data, patients could be warned of necessary lifestyle changes to avoid the onset of chronic conditions, or prevent existing conditions getting worse. And here lies an even better efficiency, there is a huge opportunity for the NHS to use data and digital to prevent illnesses rather than treating them – and consumers are willing to engage with these services.
My firm belief is that the only way we will be able to have a sustainable NHS going forward is through harnessing the power of technology to help to us to be well and stay well, particularly when we think about the challenges an increasingly ageing society will bring.
Many people are avid users of consumer grade technology and, as we can see from the survey, they are very open to bringing this to the clinical setting as well. I don't envisage a future where consumers turn to robots for their care, but a future where machines can help doctors and healthcare workers in relieving administrative burdens and leaving humans to do what they do best – be human. Doctors, supported by machines, can be even better doctors. But robots on their own can never be doctors.
Patients and machines are joining clinicians to be a collaborative healthcare delivery team and the world seems ready.


Okay, so your blood work was last done six weeks ago, you're going to get more done, and you're confused about having markers for both Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and Grave's disease.
What you'll see there is that both diagnoses are one and the same thing. The only difference is functional, i.e. if your thyroid hormone is high and your TSH low, they call it Grave's, whereas the alternative is called Hashimoto's. The confusing aspect of this is the two names. Hashimoto's is a remitting-recurring disorder, often punctuated by episodes of hyperthyroid (i.e. Hashimoto's can look like one kind of Grave's disease.). Also, anxiety and depression are commonplace with autoimmune thyroiditis. There can even be some rather severe neurological difficulties arising from it. The idea is to get your antibody levels down. There have been some very noteworthy trials of selenium supplementation, which reduce antibody levels dramatically. It really can't hurt you to give that a try. Your dose should be 200 mcg/day of selenium. You can get it anywhere..... Walmart, for example.
There is no fast way to change thyroid function, as the blood serum contains proteins which absorb thyroid hormone like sponges. You've got to stick with the changes you make, to let them become noticeable. I'm sorry this is so hard for you, but your new pdoc is probably right about your psych problems arising with the thyroiditis. Even knowing that, though, doesn't mean we can predict how best to treat your symptoms. You still have to experiment.
Selenium in the treatment of autoimmune thyroiditis.
We recently conducted a prospective, placebo-controlled clinical study, where we could demonstrate, that a substitution of 200 microg sodium selenite for three months in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis reduced thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab) concentrations significantly. Forty-seven patients from the initially 70 patients agreed to participate in a follow-up cross-over study for further six months. One group (n = 13), which initially received selenium continued to take 200 microg sodium selenite (Se-Se), one group stopped taking selenium (Se-0) ( n = 9), another group which received placebo started to take 200 microg selenium (n = 14) (Plac-Se) and the last group was without selenium substitution (Plac-0) (n = 11). TPO-Ab concentrations were measured at beginning and the end of the study. In the Se-Se group, the TPO-Ab concentrations further significantly p = 0.004) decreased from 625 +/- 470 U/ml to 354 +/- 321 U/ml, in the Se-0 group the TPO-Ab concentrations increased significantly p = 0.017) from 450 +/- 335 to 708 +/- 313 U/ml. In the placebo group, the TPO-Ab concentrations in those patients who were followed without selenium substitution were unchanged (1351 +/- 940 vs. 1724 +/- 1112 U/ml, p = 0.555). In contrast, the patients who received 200 microg sodium selenite after placebo, the TPO-Ab concentrations decreased significantly (p = 0.029) from 1182 +/- 723 to 643 +/- 477 U/ml.
Selenium treatment in autoimmune thyroiditis: 9-month follow-up with variable doses.
Turker O, Kumanlioglu K, Karapolat I, Dogan I.
The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term (9 months) effects of variable doses (200/100 microg/day) of L-selenomethionine on autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and the parameters affecting the success rate of this therapy. The present study was designed in three steps: (1) 88 female patients with AIT (mean age = 40.1 +/- 13.3 years) were randomized into two groups according to their initial serum TSH, thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) concentrations, and age. All the patients were receiving L-thyroxine to keep serum TSH <or=2 mIU/l. Group S2 (n = 48, mean TPOAb = 803.9 +/- 483.8 IU/ml) received 200 microg L-selenomethionine per day, orally for 3 months, and group C (n = 40, mean TPOAb = 770.3 +/- 406.2 IU/ml) received placebo. (2) 40 volunteers of group S2 were randomized into two age- and TPOAb-matched groups. Group S22 (n = 20) went on taking L-selenomethionine 200 microg/day, while others (group S21) lowered the dose to 100 microg/day. (3) 12 patients of group S22 (group S222) went on taking L-selenomethionine 200 microg/day, while 12 patients of group S21 (S212) increased the dose to 200 microg/day. Serum titers of TPOAb decreased significantly in group S2 (26.2%, P < 0.001), group S22 (23.7%, P < 0.01) and group S212 (30.3%, P < 0.01). There were no significant changes in group C and group S222 (P > 0.05). TPOAb titers increased significantly in group S21 (38.1%, P < 0.01). A significant decrease in thyroglobulin antibody titers was only noted in group S2 (5.2%, P < 0.01). L-selenomethionine substitution suppresses serum concentrations of TPOAb in patients with AIT, but suppression requires doses higher than 100 microg/day which is sufficient to maximize glutathione peroxidase activities. The suppression rate decreases with time.

Автосце́пка Джанне́я (, ) — автоматическое сцепное устройство, применяемое на железнодорожном транспорте. Изобретена в США в 1873 году.

История

Разработана Эли Джаннеем (), запатентована в США в 1873 году ().

В 1893 году Конгресс принял закон , согласно которому всем железнодорожным компаниям в США с 1898 года запрещалось использовать составы без автосцепки Джаннея для сообщения между штатами.

В 1887 году компания Master Car Builders Association существенно модернизировала сцепное устройство, изменив контур зацепления. Далее автосцепка модернизировалась в 1904, 1916 (принят тип «D»), 1918, 1930 (принят тип «E»), 1946 (принят тип «F») и 1954 (принят тип «H») годах, при всех изменениях совместимость сохранялась.

Устройство

Недостатки
К недостаткам автосцепки Джаннея следует отнести:
 необходимость ручных операций по подготовке автосцепки к сцеплению (взведение автосцепки);
 невозможность сцепления при определённом положении автосцепок на двух сцепляемых единицах подвижного состава — когда обе автосцепки закрыты.

Применение
В настоящее время в США применяется автосцепка Дженнея стандарта AAR () типов «E», «F» и «H».

Автосцепка Джаннея широко применяется в Латинской Америке. Была введена в Японии с середины 1920 годов. В Индии применяется местная разработка на основе автосцепки Джаннея, совместимая с винтовой упряжью. В Китае широко применяется свой вариант (китайские инженеры модернизировали автосцепку Джаннея, сделав возможным отсутствие человека при сцеплении вагонов). Китайский вариант похож на автосцепку СА-3, но немного отличается от неё. Вслед за Японией и Китаем, автосцепка Джаннея используется также во Вьетнаме и Корее.

В СССР и России

В 1945 году, после освобождения Южного Сахалина, Советскому Союзу достался японский подвижной состав, оборудованный автосцепкой Джаннея, Министерство путей сообщения СССР его эксплуатировало. За послевоенные годы произошла постепенная замена японских паровозов и вагонов на отечественную продукцию, оснащённую автосцепкой СА-3. До 2019 года Сахалинский регион Дальневосточной железной дороги эксплуатировал дизель-поезда с автосцепками Джаннея, закупленные в Японии, так как до сентября 2019 года на Сахалине ширина колеи составляла 1067 мм (в СССР и России — 1520 мм), а отечественной промышленности невыгодно начинать малосерийное производство узкоколейного моторвагонного подвижного состава. В настоящее время Д2 сменили РА3, японский подвижной состав более не эксплуатируется, и сцепка Джаннея на Сахалине стала достоянием истории РЖД.

Кроме того, на территорию России заходит железнодорожная колея шириной 1435 мм, это пограничные станции Забайкальск (пограничный переход со станцией Маньчжурия, КНР), Гродеково (пограничный переход со станцией Суйфэньхэ, КНР), пограничный переход «Золотое звено» Камышовая (РФ) — Хуньчунь (КНР) и станция Хасан (пограничный переход со станцией Туманган, КНДР). На российских станциях можно увидеть китайский и северокорейский подвижные составы, оборудованные автосцепкой Джаннея (российские и азиатские вагоны и локомотивы находятся на разных путях), см. перестановка вагонов.

В 2017 году в НПК «Уралвагонзавод» было разработано сцепное устройство, у которого контур зацепления выполнен по требованиям AAR, а хвостовая часть соответствует автосцепке СА-3, благодаря чему возможно её применение с применяемыми в России поглощающими аппаратами.

Spumoni Gardens
Man Guilty of Murder in Ambush of Famed Brooklyn Pizzeria Owner
Neighbors said they heard gunfire and screaming during the June 2016 ambush killing
A 44-year-old Long Island man has been convicted of murder in the ambush killing of famed Spumoni Gardens pizzeria owner Louis Barbati
Barbati was shot multiple times outside his home when he arrived there after work around 7 p.m. on June 30, 2016
He had $15,483 cash in a bag with him at the time, but it wasn't taken; investigators suspected the shooting was part of a botched robbery attempt
A 44-year-old man has been convicted of murder and other crimes for shooting the owner of Brooklyn's famed Spumoni Gardens restaurant in an ambush attack outside his own home more than two years ago.
Andres Fernandez, of Melville, Long Island, was found guilty last week of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession in the June 30, 2016 killing of 61-year-old Louis Barbati. It was that evening, around 7 p.m., that Barbati was in his yard, having just returned from work, when Fernandez opened fire. Barbati was shot multiple times and died.
He had a large amount of cash -- $15,483 -- on him at the time, but the money wasn't taken.
According to trial testimony, Fernandez, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses, had gone to the area of Barbati's home on 12th Avenue in Dyker Heights about an hour before the victim got there. He waited.
Barbati got home, parked his car and got out. Fernandez then walked across the street and fired five rounds, then fled on foot empty-handed in what appeared to be a botched robbery, police have said. Evidence showed Fernandez had been at Barbati's Gravesend restaurant earlier in the day.
Barbati's family was in the house at the time he was killed; neighbors said they heard gunfire and screaming.
"His wife was screaming that he got shot and was looking for help, so we called 911," said neighbor Imran Arshad.
Bullet holes were still visible in the white fence on the side of the house as investigators canvassed the scene for days. Fernandez, who was identified by witnesses as the shooter, was arrested by federal authorities after a large-scale investigation months later, on Nov. 3, 2016.
He faces 25 years to life in prison when he is sentenced in January.
Barbati co-owned the popular pizza and ice cream shop L&B Spumoni Gardens, and neighbors said he was kind and respectful. He took over the family business, started in 1938 by his grandfather, Italian immigrant Ludovico Barbati. The restaurant is in its fourth generation of family ownership, according to its website.
Spumoni's has long been an institution in Brooklyn, known especially for its pizza "sheets" -- thick-crusted, rectangular Sicilian pizzas in upside-down style, according to Eater NY. It has also been featured on food shows.
"This defendant has been brought to justice for the murder of a beloved husband, father and fixture of the Gravesend community," Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement. "I commend the jury for its hard work convicting this defendant, and for bringing some solace to the family, friends and many Brooklynites affected by this senseless tragedy."

Strasbourg Europtimist : one state of mind, many initiatives !
The mindset of Strasbourg Europtimist, which allows the city and its inhabitants to look on the good side of life, while striving to improve it.
Winston Churchill's famous quote is perhaps the best way of describing what optimism means to Strasbourg and how it's a driving force for the city. Optimism made in Strasbourg is neither empty nor blissful thinking, but what it does show is our confidence in the future and our absolute conviction that we can overcome any obstacle, great or small. Experience has taught us that life is no easy ride, but that it's also possible to bounce back, to reinvent, to create and to move forward. And this is what any entrepreneur, researcher, student or creator has experienced one time or another.
Strasbourg is a city with strong values and a strong feeling for the environment, a place where optimism is a renewable energy. And this optimism is something that grows the more it's shared. It adds to both our personal and our collective strength and encourages us all to come up with alternative solutions and to experiment with new ways of doing things. It means fostering innovation, but also encouraging the fundamental values which form the cornerstone of modern Europe – respect, liberty, peace and equality.
Being a partner of Strasbourg Europtimist means both sharing and promoting its humanist values, driven by the determination to move forward.
How do you see the good side of things? How do you bring confidence and energy to the fore? How do you see the glass half full?
3 ways of spreading optimism!
It's possible, even easy, to take the side of progress. If you approach it the right way, the future can always be built differently. Let's begin by allowing ourselves to do things, to drive things and to try things.
Optimism is not the opposite of unhappiness, what it does is open the door to the conviction that another way is possible. Let's try – solutions, however imperfect they may be, can open up deadlocks and turn weakness into strength.
Let's learn to look at things differently – a difference is often the natural breeding-ground for creativity and innovation. Practice by coming up with new ideas and new visions and communicating them to others: optimism is contagious and self-generating!

ENTREPRENEUR'S CORNER by New York Lifestyles
on September 12, 2017 in
By Judy Goss
One of the magical things about New York City is that anyone can plant their seed here and blossom into a tremendous success no matter where they are from in the world. Remember Frank Sinatra as he sang, "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere…"?
I'm reminded of this as I listen to the light-hearted lilt of Sue Phillip's South African accent as she unfolds her story in front of me in her captivating Manhattan Scentarium shop beginning from her remote upbringing in South Africa as a child.
Sue With Jamie Foxx
Sue came to New York City in 1978 to be a singer/actress and to escape the political unrest in South Africa, but without citizenship and no union representation, she had a difficult time getting work. After taking classes as an actress, she was told by someone that she was an unusually talented speaker and was urged to get into the corporate training industry. This was pivotal for Sue, so she worked on getting her green card and before she knew it, she had landed a job at Elizabeth Arden as a national corporate trainer. This opportunity was the catalyst for her future career as (her coined title) a highly regarded "scentrepreneur."
But it didn't happen overnight, as most success stories go.
After years of being in corporate America working as a national leader in training for the cosmetics industry, Sue eventually found her niche and second passion (in addition to singing and dancing) in the perfume industry. Don't get me wrong—she still kept her hand in the entertainment industry by singing and dancing in the evenings at cabarets and such, but now her focus was on building her corporate career. And when she was eventually introduced to the fragrance world it took on a whole new light, or…sense, shall we say.
But before her fragrance career began, Sue was promoted into color cosmetics from her corporate training position at Elizabeth Arden and started learning about eye shadows, lipsticks, mascaras and how companies are marketing these products to women. "What girl doesn't want to know that stuff, right?" Sue said with a chuckle, then afterward Arden promoted her into fragrance marketing which instantly became her greatest passion. "With lipsticks and eye shadows you can immediately see the difference. With fragrance, it's so intangible, you can't see anything—but you can definitely feel the difference. It reflects who you are." Sue opened up a whole new world for herself, leading to her next venture at Lancôme where as Marketing Director she worked on Chloe, Burberry, and Lagerfeld fragrances. She started to feel a "love and kinship" for fragrances, a much deeper passion than what she had felt with cosmetics and color.
Lancôme at the time was very focused on cosmetics and skincare treatment and considered fragrance to be the "stepchild" of the company. But with Sue's obsession for the potential of what fragrance could do for the public's olfaction, she paved the way for Lancôme to eventually make their fragrance department a top competitor in the industry. While at Lancôme, little did Sue know that her career was about to take on an even more high-profile turn and propel her up into the top echelons of the fragrance industry.
Enter Tiffany & Co. Four years later Sue was hired to be Vice President of Fragrance Marketing to develop and launch the perfume for their 150th anniversary. Within 12 years Sue had come from not knowing anything about the fragrance industry and struggling to find her way in NYC via singing and dancing to gaining a coveted position in the top ranks of one of the most iconic companies in the world. But Sue didn't stop there.
ACT IV
After leaving Tiffany to have her baby girl, Sue wished to take charge of her work schedule and clients and opened her own business befittingly called Scenterprises, Inc. which captured the essence of her passion for fragrance. Here, she created fragrances for Trish McEvoy, Burberry, AVON, Diane Von Furstenberg and Lancaster and in doing so, made Scenterprises into a global consulting company.
ACT V
For most people, reaching the pinnacle of an entrepreneurial career as a world-renowned consultant would be good enough, but as a visionary Sue realized seven years ago that fragrances had a different future and she wanted to be leading the pack. She noticed consumers were getting tired of having to choose premade perfume types or a celebrity's choice of perfume that may or may not fit into their personality and scent preference. So Sue capitalized on an evolving future of customized scents for everyone, perfumes that people could create themselves—bespoke fragrances, as Sue calls it. As the world exploded into customized industries from vacations to interior design, Sue awakened her industry to the beginning of tailored perfumes with her picturesque haven of a perfumery called Scentarium located in Downtown Manhattan. The shop hypnotizes the soul with its charm and beauty, enrapturing all the senses with glorious scents, music and exquisite paintings her mother created for her as one of the most talented artists in South Africa.
Scentarium clients range from celebrities (Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes are fans) to six-year-old girls to 80-year-old birthday parties. Also in the mix are Fortune 500 companies who request team building conferences and celebratory events like AOL, Bulgari, COTY and hundreds of other corporations who have hired her to set up fragrance bars at their events for their employees to experience the art of custom perfume creation.
Sue With Katie Holmes
ACT VI
Besides creating customized perfumes for the world privately and corporately, Sue is an adjunct professor at LIM College, after five years of teaching at FIT, and not surprisingly, is working on her line of fragrance called the Sue Phillips House of Fragrance Collection. She was also nominated as the Fragrance/Entrepreneur 2016 for Fashion Group International, and also 2016 Woman of the Year for T.J. Martell Foundation.
Yes, Sue is also philanthropic. The Alzheimer's Foundation is close to Sue's heart, and she is dedicated to raising funds for it, inspired by her mother having had the disease. She has held numerous fund-raising events nationwide for the Foundation, and Sue believes that since fragrance and memory are so intertwined, there could be a cure involving scents with the correlation.
THE FINALE
Looking back Sue exclaims "If you had told me that growing up in South Africa I would land up being in NYC singing, dancing and working in the cosmetic industry then eventually developing a fragrance for Tiffany, I would have said you're crazy!" I have a feeling the curtain is not even close to coming down yet on Sue's ventures.
