TYRA BANKS and ASHTON KUTCHER ABC new Reality Show Event

New York City, Saturday January 10th 2009 at 11pm
Direct from the new ABC reality show True Beauty produced by America's Next Top Model producer Tyra Banks along with Ashton Kutcher, model Laura Leigh of the cast will be making a guest appearance this Saturday night at club lord JE Englebert  Prime nightclub in New York City to celebrate the new hit show. True Beauty is hosted by former TRL host Vanessa Minnillo, who also serve as a judge along with former model Cheryl Tiegs and former Top Model judge Nole Marin. Music will be by DJ ZONE

True Beauty has just premiered this past Monday January 5th and was a smash success. The TV reality show features 6 women and 4 men living together in a Los Angeles mansion under the impression that they are competing in a beauty pageant like reality competition series in which they will be judged solely on their physical beauty.

However, unbeknownst to them, the contestants will also be getting judged on their "inner beauty" and are put through scenarios that will make them reveal different aspects of their inner character.

Each episode features the judges monitoring the contestants, critiquing their behaviors, and ultimately eliminating one contestant. The contestants will only be told the truth about the competition as they watch a montage of their show behavior after their eliminations.

The contestant who shows that they are the most beautiful contestant -- on both the inside and out -- will be crowned the winner and receive an undisclosed cash prize as well as a spot in People magazine's 2009 "100 Most Beautiful People" issue.

IABC EuroComm: Regional Conference Cuts Costs to Crack Credit Crunch

Regional Conference Cuts Costs to Crack Credit Crunch

January 8, 2009 - In a fast changing world, building new networks and developing new skills has never been more important. But getting value for money is equally important as companies and consultants continue to tighten their belts.

As the world faces fresh economic challenges, IABC Eurocomm 2009 offers vital networking and development opportunities with some of Europe and the Middle East's leading communication professionals.

 

"When times are tough, networking and development is an inspired investment," comments Rob Briggs, IABC Europe and Middle East Chairman. "As a not-for-profit network, IABC partners with sponsors and hosts to keep costs to an absolute minimum."

 

"We have been very fortunate to partner with the Università della Svizzera italiana (University of Lugano)," Rob continues. "It is through their support and Hugin Group (www.hugingroup.com), MetaDesign (www.metadesign.ch),Wide Circle (www.widecircle.eu) and World Television (www.unit.net) that we're able to keep costs as low as €550 when the average conference registration is over €1,300."

 

EuroComm 2009's prestigious speakers have been drawn from communications professionals and academics from across Europe and the Middle East.  They include:

• Nick Van Praag, Director of External Relations, UNHCR,
• Professor Cees van Riel, Managing Director of the Reputation Institute, and
• Clare Woodcraft, Director of Regional Communications, Middle East, Caspian and South Asia for Shell Exploration & Production

Plenary sessions during the two-day event will feature results from the IABC Research Foundation project on information overload, the latest developments in social media, and career prospects in turbulent times.  Break-out sessions will cover case studies on branding, lobbying, marketing communications, and measurement methods.

 

The varied programme includes topics such as:

 

• Employee Engagement - 'Creating an aligned workforce through professional employee communication' (Professor Cees van Riel, Managing Director, Reputation Institute)
  
  
• Career Management - 'Key success factors for a career in communications (Gerry Murray, Director, Wide Circle; Dr. Francesco Lurati, Academic Director Executive MScom Program, USI, Switzerland; Sandra Macleod, Group Chief Executive, Echo Research, UK; and Todd Civardi, Managing Director, Foster Crouch, International Executive Search Consultants, UK)
  
  
• Communication Challenges - 'Sex up your life: Europe's largest erotic company goes mainstream' (Assia Tschernookoff, Head of Communication, Beate Uhse)
  

"Right now, networking conferences like EuroComm are invaluable," Rob adds. "New networks can help uncover the hidden job market and unadvertised consulting projects. Plus professional development can boost your worth to companies and clients alike."

 

"The University offers excellent facilities and a relaxed atmosphere, giving conference participants ample opportunity to network and share experiences with communications professionals from across Europe and the Middle East," he concludes. "With plenty of valuable networking opportunities and respected speakers from Dubai, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, the UK plus many more, EuroComm 2009 promises to be an outstanding investment for the year ahead."

When Tabasco sauce was added to the drink the name "Bloody Mary" became a household word. In the 1960s it became popular to serve the cocktail with celery due to a guest at the Ambassador East Hotel in Chicago. --- What: Bloody Mary Celebrates 75th Anniversary in Times Square When: Monday December 1, 2008 at 11:30am Where: 1552 Broadway, Manhattan.

XX Women made in south Italy

Good day,

I am glad to inform you about an important artistic event I will take part at from october 31st to november 2nd.
It is sponsored by the italian Institute of Culture in New York, the fine arts academy of Reggio Calabria, the Provence of Reggio Calabria, the Prefecture of Reggio Calabria, the Commune of Reggio Calabria, Women Rose Movement of San Luca, the Presidency of the regional council, the Ministry for the Arts.
Here below a brief description of the project.

Artists are invited to take part at a great artistic event.
All artists will meet each other and live togheter in a B&B from october 31st to november 2nd to discuss about the artistic project, approach the town of San Luca and interpret the essence of the women who live in and collaborate with the Women Rose Movement of San Luca.
The artworks will be exhibited in a group show called "XX Women made in south Italy – Donne create in Italia" in New York and then in Reggio Calabria by the Province Palace.
Through this innovatory artistic event, the region of Calabria wants to communicate to Italy and to the whole world that now San Luca is not the base of \'ndrangheta anymore. It is healing itself and it requires peace. The italian authority has awarded the Women Rose Movement of San Luca and Rosy Canale, its founder and collaborator of the Reggio Calabria Academy as well, with the Giugno Locrese Prize - well known as Paolo Borsellino Prize – which is confered as a sign of admire and gratitude to those italian personalities who offered their engagement, consistency and courage in relation to their political and social action against violence and injustice.
Up to today many of these women have not still realized what is the real meaning of this award. But this made history. The news went round the newspapers, magazines and broadcasters of all over the world.
Beginning of october the "Los Angeles Times" published a wonderful reportage about this Movement and Rosy Canale. And so the "Sole 24 Ore" as well.

The press conference will take place on the 31st of October at 12.00 by the Province palace of Reggio Calabria. Prefect of Reggio, artists and curators will be present at the conference.

Nightclub boss BIG MAC ATTACK (Philippe Starck, Shvo, Bovis, Douglas Elliman) WANT BEEF??

NYC Nightclub boss has BIG MAC ATTACK. Philippe Starck, Shvo, Bovis and Douglas Elliman all WANT BEEF??

New York City nightclub boss JE Englebert, the co-owner of Prime nightclub and Suzie Wong lounge is again pissed off..

For years, Englebert lived at the pristine "Downtown by Philippe Starck" building at 15 Broad Street in the Wall Street area. When the club owner heard the distinguished designer Philippe Starck, one of the most famous designers in the world had started to design a new building in the Gramercy Park area he jumped on the opportunity to buy in early. He bought another condo this time at the sumptuous "Gramercy Starck" 340 E 23rd Street high rise while it was under pre construction. Englebert figured the new location would be ideal, closer to his hot nightspots in West Chelsea. His elation turned to dismay quickly when the building's management allowed a storefront McDonald's to open. Is a tacky fast food joint the right image for a high end luxury building? Englebert thinks not. "McDonald's is a great American institution but does not belong at Gramercy Starck, a far star building. I've often come home, any time of the day and have found riff raff hanging outside the McDonald's. The sidewalk is littered with McDonald's wrappers. Plus the space reeks, you can smell burger grease."

Englebert has consulted a high priced lawyer and will be suing the building's sales, owners and management including Michael Shvo Real Estate, developer Bovis Lend Lease and Douglas Elliman Property Management for allowing this most unwelcome tenant to set-up shop. Englebert says "I have solid evidence that the building reps portrayed this as a high end building at the time of sale then allowing McDonald's in without disclosing this to any of the buildings buyers. The management was not acting in the best interest of the building by letting them in the commercial space. It was a shady move! If I knew about Mc Donald's before I closed on the unit I would have never bought there. All my neighbors are upset." Englebert has a lot of tenants behind him and is planning a class action suit.

End of Bottle Service in NYC and TONIGHT L Magazine Nightlife Awards

NEW YORK CITY, September 20, 2008
The End of Bottle Service in NYC

As you know, the newly renovated Prime re-opens this Saturday, September 20, 2008

The renovation focused on fixing the things that just don't work in the current version of the club. The new Prime will be a high energy dance club. Prime was originally created to be more of a lounge and the newly re-mastered Prime is certainly not a lounge. The latest renovation will introduce world class sound and lights and a revamped "fun" decor which will bring back the "fun". The entrance/exit situation has been fixed. This will eliminate the "drama" of getting in, and the "confusion" caused when leaving or during re-entry. The table/banquette situation has been modified. As we all know, one of the most common complaints in Prime/Myst has been the size of the table space given to customers. The amount of tables will be decreased, while the size of the tables will be increased. Customers that buy "real estate" will be made to be comfortable, a novel new idea. This brings me to the most important point, the renovation of the club's attitude. The new club will be built around a new and simple concept "to cater to the customer".

Quo, then Myst and finally Prime were one of the most successful "bottle" venues in NYC. We took full advantage of that era. But now, that era is over and its time for a new model. For the past few, maybe even ten, years, NYC clubs have come to treat the customer as the enemy. Aggressive door staffs push customers around. They are made to wait hours to try and get in and if they are lucky for the "privilege" of buying 6 bottles of grey goose to get in. Bottles that are then served with an attitude, by a detached bottle hostess.

With the new Prime comes a new attitude and a new goal creating pleasure for the customer and making the party a fun party. Admission will no longer be driven by bottle sales. If someone looks good enough to get in and comes with the right attitude, they will get in without bottles. Likewise, if someone doesn't fit the mold they wont get in no matter how many bottles they offer to buy; the days of catering to the assh*** who is willing to buy 6 bottles at the expense of the nice guy who wants to pay cover is over. The hassle and "bottle" rat race at the door is now over. Bottle minimums will be replaced with "real estate minimums", where each table (piece of real estate) will be for sale for a certain amount of money; whether bottles of grey goose or bottles of water. Prospective customers will be allowed to combine larger groups of friends to purchase a comfortable section of real estate for their group. Example: 15 girls could now go in on an $800 dollar table and spend $50 each to drink and have their section all night. In this depressed and recessed economy the goal is to create an environment where the customers can go out to a fun place on Saturday nights without getting raped or abused at the door while spending thousands on bottles they don't want. Of course we will still sell bottles and offer bottles to anyone who wants them but the business model will not be based solely on the idea of extorting bottles at the door. The business model will be based on creating a fun product where people are treated like human beings at the door and all throughout their club experience.

In terms of revenue, we think that the gross revenue (and as such payouts) will stay the same or go up with more staying power. The old model was based on a large % of the room spending 0 and a few tables spending a TON to make the night work. The new model will be making a smaller amount of money per head from a larger pool of customers. The goal of the new Prime will be fun and customer service and to create an outstanding club product at a reasonable cost.

In an era where NYC clubs treat customers like enemies and adversaries we feel this is a new and novel approach that will work extremely well.

Regards

The Homburg castle, a half-timbered building of the 16th century, was
built on a tuff rock over the Burkardus den. The den, the germ cell of
the village, is the destination of a solemn procession which takes
place every year on the 12th of October in honour of St. Burkardus,
Würzburg's first bishop. With its free view over the vineyards around
the Main, the castle dominates the Homburg village and since 1998 has
become a center of contemporary arts.

Twelve artists are going to animate the castle and the Homburg village
for four weeks. Inspired by the unique atmosphere of this site, they
will show their works in the various sceneries presented by the ancient
castle of the Gebsattel house: the palace, the chapel, the den, the
goat meadow, the tower, the St. Burkardus church, the Julius Echter
square, the flags, the cellar, the courtyard.

Ciudad De Las Artes Y Las Ciencias - Valencia - Carlo Bernardini

Ciudad De Las Artes Y Las Ciencias - Valencia

CARLO BERNARDINI

PERMEABLE SPACE

Opening: 17 July 2008 - 24pm

Umbracle Terraza, Ciudad De Las Artes Y Las Ciencias
Avda. Autopista del Saler 1, 3, 5, 7, Valencia
tel. +34902100031

Carlo Bernardini inaugurates to the Umbracle of the Ciudad De Las
Artes Y Las Ciencias in Valencia a new fibers optic installation
"Permeable Space".
Working with a unique system of fiber optics, Bernardini creates a
shifting, illusory network of illuminated lines that traverse the
space in weblike formations. Viewers' processes of perception are
challenged and overturned as they enter the created environment,
experiencing it from within and without.
His is a form of creativity that works on the basis of a code of
modifications in space reflecting variants produced by light. So much
is confirmed by the present research of Carlo Bernardini, who handles
light and shade like materials and substances, using
electro-luminescent surfaces and optical fibers with internal lighting
in a context of total darkness.
In these works with interior and exterior environmental light
installations, the optical superimposition of lines traversing a space
and lines running along the planes of the same space, viewed from a
certain position, can produce two-dimensional visual conditions.
Closing one eye, transforming it into a single lens, the image becomes
two-dimensional; as soon as the viewpoint shifts volumetric changes
come about, generating mirror image-forms.
The first impression is not of the optical fibers themselves, but
rather of transparent plates of glass lit up along the sides.
The optical fibers only reveal the empty space they enclose in a
subsequent phase of perception.
The observer can enter into a sort of illusory space, experiencing the
installation from within and without.

CARLO BERNARDINI was born in Viterbo in 1966 and obtained his diploma
at the Fine Arts Academy in Rome in 1987. In 1997 he wrote the
theoretical essay on "The division of visual unity", which was
published by Stampa Alternativa. In 2000 and 2005 he received a grant
"Overseas Grantee" from the Pollock - Krasner Foundation of New York,
and in 2002 the prize Targetti Art Light Collection "White Sculpture".
He has created and installed permanent public sculptures in stainless
steel and optic fibres in various Italian cities. He currently teaches
at the Fine Arts Academy of "Brera" in Milan. He lives and works both
in Milan.
