Shannon Airport owner boosts profit to €21.5m
Semi-State company warned that Boeing groundings could affect 2019 performance
Mon, Apr 29, 2019, 16:14
Peter Hamilton
Shannon Group, which also controls Shannon Commercial Properties and Shannon Heritage, said profit before tax before exceptional items rose more than 125 per cent to €21.5 million.
Shannon Airport's parent company more than doubled its pre-tax profit last year on the back of increasing passenger numbers and a better performance across its other commercial arms.
Shannon Group, which also controls Shannon Commercial Properties and Shannon Heritage, said profit before tax and exceptional items rose more than 125 per cent to €21.5 million.
However, the company booked a €5.8 million exceptional charge in respect of its voluntary severance scheme that was launched in November 2016. That reduced its profit before tax to €15.7 million.
Turnover rose 8 per cent to €77.8 million while earnings increased by 37 per cent to €12.7 million.
While the year was positive, group chief executive Matthew Thomas pointed to a more challenging year in 2019 with the negative impact of the global grounding of the Boeing 737 Max family of jets.
"The worldwide grounding of the 737 Max aircraft is having serious implications for passengers and the aviation industry alike. At Shannon, it is impacting our well supported and successful Norwegian and Air Canada services. This will affect our passenger throughput and resultant business as we build towards what is otherwise a busy summer season," said Mr Thomas, who received remuneration of €243,246 during the year.
Visitor numbers
Passenger numbers at the facility improved to 1.86 million during the year driven by strong performances from the UK and transatlantic markets.
Meanwhile, Shannon Heritage, an operator of tourist attractions in Clare, Limerick, Galway and Dublin saw visitor numbers across its estate rise to almost 925,000. A capital investment of €1 million was made in that division to upgrade attractions during the year.
Additionally, a €40 million investment in its commercial property arm completed during the year, delivering more than 650,000 sq ft of new or upgraded office, manufacturing and warehouse facilities at the Shannon free zone. The occupancy rate in the free zone now stands at 94 per cent, more than double what it was in 2013.
New companies added during the year included Jaguar Land Rover, Edward Lifesciences and Aero-Zone.
"As a very significant business in the regional and national economy, we are committed to working in partnership with all our stakeholders to ensure a vibrant and sustainable future for Shannon Group and our region," said Rose Hynes, Shannon Group chairwoman.
Shannon Group is a commercial semi-State company which employs more than 600 people.

Disney Releases New 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Trailer During MNF
© Star Wars/YouTube
Trending News: Suffering Bears Fans Got Rewarded With A New 'Star Wars' Trailer
Matt Shea
Finally, we have a new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. And it's a good one.
It follows on from a brief look at the film released in April on the back of Star Wars Celebration. But while that was a teaser this is very much a bonafide trailer, setting up potential character and plot arcs.
The most fist-pumping moments come with what is obviously Rey's training on Ahch-To with Luke Skywalker. In April, Luke was mumbling about how the Jedi had to end. Here he seems a lot more engaged, although it remains to be seen how much he can be called upon in the fight against Kylo Ren, Supreme Leader Snoke and the First Order.
Speaking of which, Ren seems to be caught in another moment where he must choose between the First Order and his family. This time he's in a TIE Fighter, locking in on Leia's Resistance ship. Will (Does) he shoot?
But besides all this, the trailer is thankfully short on potential spoilers — at least for the majority of audiences. Poe and Finn make an appearance, and it looks like Snoke is going to have a crack at turning Rey.
Which makes you wonder: The Force Awakens was criticised in some quarters for rehashing a lot of the character and plot beats from the original Star Wars. Will it be a similar story with The Last Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back?
Because there are Imperial Walkers. Just saying.

"The I.AM film is fantastic! This 26 minute film combines stunning scenery with music, dance, rap and the story of a loving God. Within CNI Network we will be using the I.AM film within our night-time communities and showing it in pubs, clubs, safe place drop-in's and we even have plans to show the film on the street with an invitation to one of the pop-up showings. Can I encourage you to plan to use this film wherever you can - people in your community need to watch this and to hear the message it gives."
Paul Blakey MBE, founder Street Angels - CNI Network.
"I.AM is both inspired and inspiring. It is a contemporary, creative and spiritual response to the age-old challenge of relating the essence of the Bible through word, sound and image. It's genesis lies in Cornwall, where open-air mystery plays have been staged in Cornish, and in English, since the Middle Ages in the ancient 'playing places'.

How did you hear about Slow Money NC?: I am a previous Slow Money NC borrower.
Kimbap Restaurant has been open for 4 1/2 years now. We are a 31-seat restaurant near downtown Raleigh, with a farm to table, Korean-inspired menu, using ingredients primarily from sustainable farms in the Triangle-area.
We are committed to supporting local farms. Some of the farms & local food businesses we work with include: In Good Heart Farm, South Durham Farmers Market, Eastern Carolina Organics, Triangle Urban Farm, Fox Farm & Forage, Salty Catch Seafood, Raleigh City Farm. A the chef & owner, I am continuously looking at how Kimbap can remain innovative and relevant to the community, and support local farms & food businesses in the best way possible.
I feel we have done a good job, but we can do better. With the influx of new independently owned Asian restaurants in and around downtown Raleigh (increased competition), I have decided to "change the game" and re-set the restaurant at dinner. I plan to offer a more attentive, slower-paced, relaxed and slightly more luxurious dinner experience for guests (while still casual and comfortable). I want to slow down the experience so that we can offer more creative, thoughtful dishes that truly highlight the farmers. We plan to improve our wine list, and offer a tasting menu.
We have successfully made it to almost 5 years and developed a loyal following. The challenge has been, operating in such a small space (1000 sq ft, 31 seats) and trying to be a bit of everything to everyone. I would say that we have struggled with our identity – are we quick service comfort food, are we casual fine dining at night, are we volume focused, take-out focused? In particular with our small space, I have learned that we can't expect to be all of these things, and we will best serve the community by focusing on our passions and strengths.
Also, I had a knee injury 18 months ago that resulted in 2 major surgeries and took me out of the kitchen for quite a while. I have healed from the surgeries and my vision for the restaurant is clearer than it has ever been, and I plan to slow down the pace of dinner at night so that guests can luxuriate in the unique dining experience we will offer.
I will need working capital to cover expenses related to this transition. We plan to make minor aesthetic changes (lighting), purchase new dishes, glassware, menus and small wares. Thank you for your interest!
Have you borrowed money before? How much did you borrow? From where? How long was the term? Is there a balance still due on that loan?: Yes, 5K from Carol Hewitt, 36 month term, paid off spring 2017.
What is your timeline for this project? Within 1 month. We are actively working on this transition now.

Opportunity Marketplaces Show Workers Growth Options
Technology driven by AI helps employees make internal moves
dzielin1@gmail.com
By Dave Zielinski June 25, 2020
A lack of internal growth opportunities is one of the most common reasons talented people leave their organizations. While bad bosses or unhappiness with pay get attention as causes of attrition, an inability to provide clear career paths or internal development opportunities is the "silent killer" of employee retention, according to a panel of speakers at the recent EmTech Next conference co-hosted virtually by MIT Technology Review and the Harvard Business Review.
Some talent leaders are addressing the problem by creating "opportunity marketplaces" in their organizations, technology platforms driven by artificial intelligence (AI) that allow employees to find side projects, short-term gigs, mentors and even new full-time jobs within the company to help further their career goals. Deloitte Consulting and the MIT Sloan Management Review recently collaborated on a study of 4,000 global business executives and managers on the concept of opportunity marketplaces, said Jeffrey Schwartz, a senior human capital partner at Deloitte Consulting.
"We're in a time when we're accelerating the future of work and opportunity marketplaces are a part of that," Schwartz told the conference audience.
Robin Jones, a principal in Deloitte Consulting's human capital practice, said the research found a significant disconnect between what organizational leaders and their workforces want.
"In our survey, 74 percent of organizations believed developing workforce skills was important to their strategies, yet 34 percent of executives and employees combined reported feeling dissatisfied with the current levels of organizational investment in them," Jones said.
The research also found evidence of a new approach to workforce investment focused on the idea of internal opportunity, she said.
"This is more than just matching people to extra side gigs in their organizations," Jones said. "It's about intentionally connecting managers, employees and the workforce as a whole to a diverse range of opportunities that go beyond the current jobs they perform every day."
Such opportunities could include project experiences, informal learning opportunities, connections to mentors, networking opportunities or contributing to communities on behalf of the organization, she said.
Rather than taking a passive approach to career pathing and development, the use of opportunity marketplaces "elicits agency in the workforce," Jones said. "It gives workers more control and choice in their careers and allows them to see their organization through a wider lens."
[SHRM members-only toolkit: Developing Employees]
Case Study: An Opportunity Marketplace in Action
One such opportunity marketplace has operated for two years within Schneider Electric, an energy technology and automation company in Boston. Andrew Saidy, vice president of talent digitization for Schneider, said the company created the internal platform in response to some eye-opening data it discovered on internal turnover rates.
"The data showed us that 47 percent of those leaving Schneider were doing so because they couldn't find another opportunity within the company," Saidy told the audience. "They weren't leaving because they didn't like their boss, their pay or the company mission, but because they couldn't find another opportunity to grow."
The Schneider Electric platform is powered by AI that can match employees to desired short-term projects, special assignments, mentors and full-time roles, Saidy said. "It allows employees to drive and own their own careers, which is one of the core values of our company. It doesn't dictate a career path but rather gives workers the resources to make their own choices and apply for roles or projects that align with their ambitions."
Creation of the opportunity marketplace didn't come without resistance, Saidy said. Middle managers, in particular, pushed back because their top employees would now more easily be able to find new work in the company.
"It put them in a position where they essentially no longer 'owned' employees' careers," he said. "That was hard for middle managers because they had to go through a mindset change."
The marketplace also had to battle misconceptions—amplified during the COVID-19 outbreak— about the motivation of Schneider employees who applied for or posted side gigs or short-term projects on the platform.
"There was a misconception that if you take on other projects or gigs besides your full-time job, you are underworked, and if you ask for help on the platform, it means you aren't managing your time, department or job properly," Saidy said.
COVID-19 led to an increase in workload for some Schneider employees, but some workers suddenly had less to do, he said. The opportunity marketplace helped to mitigate that imbalance. "It helped with workforce agility during COVID-19, enabling us to accelerate the re-employment of workers to critical roles and to uncover some worker capabilities we didn't know existed before."
Another factor that helped Schneider employees embrace the marketplace was the support of top management. "Our CEO and CHRO both publicly came out and encouraged employees to use the marketplace, which was a game changer," Saidy said, since it eased resistance from some corners of the organization.
The marketplace also has served as an important symbol to employees during the COVID-19 crisis, Saidy believes. "Our CEO has liked to say during COVID-19 that the future is not canceled," he said. "Nothing reinforces that message better to employees than letting them know their career development is still top of mind for company leaders."

Pablo Vasquez, a Texas man who killed a 12-year-old boy in 1998 and reportedly drank his blood after a satanic calling, was executed Wednesday, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice announced.
"I am sorry to David's family. This is only way that I can be forgiven. You got your justice right here," Vasquez said.
Vasquez, 38, had appealed his execution, but a stay was denied and he was put to death at 6:35 p.m. local time.
Vasquez was convicted of killing 12-year-old David Cardenas in Donna, Texas, 18 years ago. Authorities said Vasquez and his cousin met the boy at a party.
When the boy's body was found, "he was missing one of his arms and part of the other, had no skin on his back, and had a hole in the back of his head," court documents state.
Nicknamed the "Vampire" killer, Vasquez told police in a videotaped interview that he drank the boy's blood, according to The Monitor newspaper in South Texas.
"The blood was dripping, and (I) got it all over my face, so I don't know. I mean, something just told me drink," Vasquez said, according to a transcript of the statement.
Vasquez said he tried to cut off the boy's head, according to The Monitor. A detective asked Vasquez why.
The execution is Texas' sixth of the year.

I wish that the average employer would take a cue from Hollywood and allow for more creativity in office spaces. I think it would inspire greater creative thinking.
Instead of a cube farm with gray cubicles and huge mahogany desks (current), my ideal office environment would be very modern, airy and have touches of color, plants, and natural lighting. I love the idea of spaces for collaboration and comfy chairs. Finally, we'd all have Mac computers and wireless internet… cords all over the place is a huge pet peeve of mine!
Mine would probably involve a huge armchair with wide, flat arms so that I can use a laptop on them whilst wrapped in a blanket. The walls would be cheery with pieces of art on them instead of dull beige and covered with years of blue-tack stains and cracks.
My ideal office would have comfortable chairs and couches with blankets, because I'm always cold. Then as long as I have my laptop, I think I'm pretty much happy.
I think the workplace will evolve as Gen Y climbs the career ladder and becomes more in charge of things.
This has been an issue with me since I started working, I think today's technology oriented and mobile world calls for a more mobile workplace. Sitting in a cubicle form 9-5 just doesn't work anymore, especially when it comes to creative work like marketing and communication.
So the ideal workplace would be one where there are no restrictions on where one works from as long as the work gets done.

FBI busts online thieves, Orbitz checks your computer type
Molly Wood Jun 27, 2012
https://www.marketplace.org/2012/06/27/fbi-busts-online-thieves-orbitz-checks-your-computer-type/
Cybercrime news leading off today. The FBI has arrested 24 suspects on four continents in connection with a financial fraud ring. The suspects are accused of trafficking in stolen credit card numbers, procured online. The bureau calls this "the largest coordinated international law enforcement action in history."
In other bad guys on Internet news, life is imitating the cult comedy "Office Space."
Michael: What it does is, every time there's a bank transaction where interest is computed, and there are thousands a day, the computer ends up with these fractions of a cent, which it usually rounds off. What this does is it takes those remainders and it puts them into an account.
Peter: This sounds familiar.
Michael: Yeah, they did it in "Superman 3."
The hack spirals out of control in the film. In the real world, the technology is more clever. A new report says $78 million has been siphoned from bank accounts in the last several months. Hackers are hijacking users online, getting logins and passwords, and taking the money, all without victims knowing about it. The scam is designed to steal small amounts from a lot of accounts so it's harder to notice.
Update your software — especially antivirus software and never click on a link in an email claiming to be from your bank.
The travel site Orbitz knows if you're visiting it from a Mac or a PC. The Wall Street Journal reports that some Mac users will see fancier hotels while PC users are more likely to see cheaper hotels.
Jacqui Cheng from the web site Ars Technica says no need to freak out. "A lot of the reaction has been that Orbitz is basically charging an Apple tax, and Orbitz is making Mac users pay more for hotels. Which is not exactly true. Orbitz is basically just targeting Mac users because of the demographic data that they've found."
And once you're on Orbitz, you can sort things by price or quality or other criteria.
But Orbitz is looking at this data at all and tailoring the site to match it. That worries University of Washington law professor Ryan Calo.
Ryan Calo: There's a real danger to this approach, and the danger is that merely by virtue of some factor that you're not aware of; you're going to start getting sorted, and see different deals, sometimes worse, sometimes better on the basis of information about you. Imagine instead of merely offering pricier hotels to Mac users, a company were to decide not to make you an offer because you come from an IP address that's been associated with a poor neighborhood. Now I'm not saying that's what Orbitz is doing in this particular instance, but it's part of a potentially dangerous trend
Moe: How anomalous is this. Are other companies doing this as well?
Calo: Companies have actually charged different prices online based for instance on how many times you had visited the site. What they're doing is they're carefully considering the information they have about you, and trying to use it to the best of their advantage. And in most instances, consumers don't understand that that's going on and that's what the problem is.
Now, Orbitz is making headlines for tailoring its site based on how you got there. But it's a practice that's soon to be old news.
Jonathan Mayer is a grad student in law and computer science at Stanford. He says, "Just about everything you see on the web can be tailored to you, and that personalization can be based on your browsing activity, your location, your operating system, and much more."
So what does this mean for you and me and our future on websites? Mayer says, "There aren't real technical limits here. A site could go just about as far as it wants with personalization. The information is there."

By following your vehicle's owner's manual and having your vehicle inspected and maintained regularly, you can greatly reduce problems and save money in the long run. Let the expert team at Plaza Tire and Auto Center help your vehicle stay in good condition.
Although most manufacturers recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, some symptoms may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the symptoms that indicate that your car needs a transmission flush sooner are: transmission grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. Flushing the used fluid from the transmission washes away tiny particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings. For all your transmission flush needs, call 305-573-3878 or visit Plaza Tire & Auto Center today - we are transmission experts.
A car's system contains a coolant which transfers excess heat from one part of the engine and finally loses it through the radiator fins. With time, the coolant becomes old and dirty. The old coolant will negatively impact the system's performance. To make sure the system is working effectively, consider having a regular coolant system flush. A coolant flush is basic maintenance for your car's cooling system. Call 305-573-3878 or visit Plaza Tire & Auto Center in Miami, FL 33137 for all your coolant system flush and fill needs. Ensure maximum performance from your vehicle's heating and cooling systems today.
Power steering fluid is the hydraulic fluid that transmits the power in a steering wheel. Servicing the power steering involves flushing out the old power steering fluid and adding fresh fluid. A power steering flush will definitely help prolong the life of the power steering components. Failure to have periodic power steering flushes results in important parts like the power steering pump, the seals, power steering rack, and the O-rings wearing out. To have a comprehensive power steering flush, call 305-573-3878 or visit Plaza Tire & Auto Center today.

A deadly virus is killing bees in Busybee's village Busybox, India. Unfortuantely, you have to go to the village to fight the infection. Get the flag virus out of the infected files.
.ash_history looks like a shell history file, let's see if anything interesting is in there.
Hmm. This tarball also had two binaries in it. Let's see if there is a reason those binaries specifically were included by checking them out with strings. Given the premise of the challenge, that the flag had "infected" files by a "virus", binaries are a common target to hide in.
Well that was easy, the virus flag was in the infected binaries. Just sha256 that string and submit.

Taipower facing more questioning after damaged reactor anchor bolts revealed at Guosheng Nuclear Power Plant
Author: Lucas W Hixson 1 Comment Share:
Lawmakers in Taiwan accused Taipower of not being serious in explaining why seven anchor bolts for a reactor at Guosheng Nuclear Power Plant were found to be damaged. In December 1981, the reactor became the first at the plant to enter commercial operations, according to the state-owned utilities website.
Eight ward chiefs and two district council members of Jinshan District, which neighbors Wanli District, site of Taiwan's No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant, held a protest in front of the plant, demanding the replacement of all of the anchor bolts in question.
Many experts have warned of what they describe as the AEC's passive attitude to monitoring Taipower's nuclear safety, and slow reactions to abnormal phenomena at the power plants.
March shutdown reveals anchor bolt damage
During a temporary shutdown on March 16th for routine maintenance of the reactor, workers discovered problems with at least seven of the anchor bolts used to secure the bottom of the reactor to the steel-reinforced concrete substrate.
One bolt was broken, two were fractured and four were cracked.
The utility was later embarrassingly forced to confirm the damage only after local media had revealed the extent of the damage in public reports weeks after the findings.
Taipower said there are 120 anchor bolts in the first reactor — of which 60 are on the inner rim and 60 on the outer —, used to secure the bottom part of the reactor to the steel-reinforced concrete substrate, and that the weight of all the components in the reactor is supported by the substrate.
Taiwan Environmental Protection Union secretary-general Lee Cho-han said the Union questioned Taipower's credibility when the utility said that after having reactor designer General Electric replace six bolts and conduct ultrasonic tests on the other 113 anchor bolts, the reactor was safe to resume operations.
Green Consumers' Foundation chairman Jay Fang, said the broken bolts might reflect metal fatigue of components in the reactor that has operated for more than 30 years, and a resumption of operations could shorten the lifespan of the reactor from overwork.
Taipower president Lee Han-shen admitted that the cause of the fractured anchor bolts had yet to be determined, and added that the company has replaced six of the seven bolts which were found to be damaged.
The seventh anchor bolt interferes with other devices on site, as such, it will be necessary to use alternative means to repair it. The utility has tentatively schedule the work to be carried out during the next major rehabilitation project.
Atomic Energy Minister Tsai Chuen-horng said the council has instructed Taipower to submit a report analyzing the safety of the reactor once it re-enters service with the six replaced bolts, but did state that because there was no precedent for such defects, he could not say how long it would take to fix the problem.
The AEC said, metallographic analysis has initially ruled out the possibility of corrosion, but further tests are required to determine the cause of the damage.
The fracturing of the anchor bolts could have been caused by defective materials, the manufacturing process, environmental influences or metal fatigue, Taipower said, adding that it was difficult to determine what caused the cracks.
However, initial evaluation of the fractured surface appeared to show they were caused by long-term stress instead of sudden shearing.
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Tien Chiu-chin, said Taipower's explanation that the fractured anchor bolts resulted from long-term stress was unreasonable, because none of the anchor bolts were found to be fractured in the previous maintenance checks.
"Taipower said one of the anchor bolts had not been replaced because it was at a sensitive location in the reactor, but this is like telling us that all but one broken screw bolt in a tire frame was fixed and that it's safe to drive the car," Tien said, adding that nuclear safety was a matter of safety for everyone in Taiwan.
Tien said an administrative hearing on the case should be held so that the cause can be clarified and the information made public. However, the Atomic Energy Council refused requests that the specialists' case review meetings be made public, adding that the council would not allow Taipower to resume operations without its review and permission.
The Green Citizens' Action Alliance, a civic group, said it was concerned that ultrasonic examinations might not detect possible metal fatigue in the remaining original anchor bolts until after they cracked.
Green Citizens' Action Alliance secretary-general Tsui Shu-hsin, said "Taipower's rehabilitation plan isn't complete" because the anchor bolts are fundamental components and are designed to have the same life expectancy as the reactor, so the cause of the broken bolts should be examined in case the same problem occurs on the other 113 anchor bolts.
An official from the Atomic Energy Council said on Friday, this was the only case of fractured anchor bolts in GE BWR-6 boiling water reactors that had ever been recorded anywhere in the world.
Taipower said it would consult other related agencies to analyze and fix the problem and add vibration sensors near the supporting base of the reactor for continuous monitoring.

Ford details GHG reduction strategy, goals
Government policies, physical risks, market trends and investor concern are among the host of external factors driving Ford Motor Co.'s global climate strategy.
In releasing its 18th annual sustainability report, Ford said it has already reduced CO2 emissions by 52% per vehicle produced since 2000.
"We know climate change is real and a critical threat, and we will continue to work with leaders around the world in support of ambitious global greenhouse gas reduction targets," Executive Chairman Bill Ford said in an Aug. 25 news release announcing the new report . "At the same time, we have the opportunity to make real environmental progress as we move into a world of smart vehicles and smart environments, including car sharing, multi-modal transportation and dynamic shuttles."
In the report, the automaker outlined its climate strategy in detail, and breaks it into three main area: 1. reducing vehicle emissions in its product lineup; 2. efficient, state-of-the-art manufacturing; and supporting its supplier base. On the manufacturing component, Ford's goal is to cut global emissions by 30% per vehicle produced by 2025 from a 2010 baseline. Additionally, Ford said it has exceeded its goal of reducing facility energy consumption on a per-vehicle basis by 25% compared to 2011.
Similar to a growing number of Fortune 500 companies, Ford's climate plans and targets are science-based.

Many of us are often quick to pronounce that 'Scots invented the modern world', and while that bold statement is perhaps a wee bit of an exaggeration, there can be no denying the immense contribution made by Scots, from practically every walk of life, to the world at large.
Let's start with the big stuff. Leaders of the Reformation, the pioneering thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment, trail-blazing captains of industry and intrepid explorers - all are individuals that Scotland can lay claim to, and their role in shaping how we think, see and experience the world today cannot be understated.
And where on earth would we be without the ingenious inventors, scientists and engineers to whom we owe steam power, penicillin and the telephone? These are just a few of the ground-breaking technological innovations pioneered in Scotland.
Scotland is equally proud of its artistic and cultural heritage too, and justifiably so. The roster of great artists, poets, writers, actors, musicians which hail from Scotland is long and one which continues to grow.

The creator of Soratinex is Professor Michael Tirant (PhD). He first began to develop Soratinex , known in Australia and on the Continent under the branding of Dr Michaels, more than 30 years ago and has improved and refined it into the three-step regimen available today. The products have been well trialled in Australia, Europe and Asia and all the results confirmed the effectiveness of Soratinex. The collected results were published in the Journal of Biological Regulators and Homeostatic Agents in 2016.
Professor Tirant is a medical scientist and completed much of his formal studies at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. He also operates clinics specialising in the treatment of skin disorders in Australia, New Zealand and Vietnam.
He is now Professor of Dermatology (Research & Teaching) at University of Rome 'G.Marconi' and Director of the Psoriasis Eczema Clinic and Integrative College of Dermatology in Australia. Prof. Tirant is an advisor for Australia and South East Asia on dermatological disabilities for the Vitiligo Research Foundation at the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) United Nations. He is a regular invited speaker at international dermatology conferences and a member of the editorial board of Dermatologic Therapy, Wiley-Blackwell.
His special interests are pathogenesis and integrated treatment approach for psoriasis, atopic eczema and vitiligo. He has contributed to several international publications in dermatology and medical science.
He has been involved in dermatology research for more than 30 years, investigating triggers of a number of skin diseases. In the early 1980s he showed that alcohol and tobacco smoking exacerbated psoriasis, while diet and nutrition play major roles in the management of the disease. His research is now focused on targeting superantigens involved in psoriasis and atopic eczema flare-ups.
He has developed more than 40 dermatological products, including Soratinex, using bio-herbal actives for the treatment of many dermatological conditions, including psoriasis, atopic eczema and vitiligo. The treatments have been used internationally with good success.
Prof. Tirant has been a leader in pioneering integrative dermatology, having a holistic approach to the treatment of dermatological diseases, combining conventional and alternative methods. His motto is to "address triggers that flare up dermatological diseases, as well as treating the symptoms". Integrative dermatology is now used worldwide in the treatment and management of skin diseases.

Uniform - 1992 Barcelona Olympics Games Village/Travel Shorts, Wendy Powitt, c. 1992
About the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games donor Doug Pleasance wrote- During the 1980's the Australian wool industry was at its most prosperous times with record numbers of sheep producing wool receiving ever increasing values due to the success of the Reserve Price Scheme, and the overall guidance of the Australian Wool Corporation (AWC). As a humble technician, my role was a low profile newly created position of Controller, Technical Marketing where wool was to be marketed on its technical properties, as distinct from the Product Marketing Group which exploited the traditional high profile approach of marketing wool's superior fashion attributes. The Woolmark was the tool central to this approach. The 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games saw an evolutionary change in designer selection. A Declaration of Interest Form was communicated to over forty potential designers.

Martin, Agnes
Martin, Agnes (Agnes Bernice Martin), 1912–2004, American painter, b. Macklin, Canada. She moved to the United States in 1931, began painting in 1942, became a U.S. citizen in 1950, and emerged as an important artist in the late 1950s and early 60s. Martin is best known for her spare, abstract all-over grid paintings. Penciled on canvases that are monochrome or washed in muted colors, these emotionally evocative works seem to glow with an interior light. Her use of line expresses both strength and delicacy within a restrained yet luminous form. Martin, who came to New York City in 1957 and left it a decade later, settled in New Mexico, and abandoned painting until 1974. Her later works are intimate yet impersonal, and often created in series. They usually contain horizontal bands drawn in graphite and painted in a subtle, limited palette that suggest a shimmering, mysteriously lighted, depthless space. Among the many public collections that include her paintings are the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum, and Guggenheim Museum, New York City, and the Tate Gallery, London.
See her Writings (1992); F. Morris and T. Bell, ed., Agnes Martin (museum catalog, 2015); critical biography by N. Princethal (2015); study by B. Haskell (1992).
