RTI-MEDUSA-TAODUE: A NEW MAJOR FOR ITALIAN CONTENT IS BORN

An agreement was signed today to create a joint-venture that brings together
Medusa Film (a subsidiary of Rti, a leader in Italian film production) and Taodue
(controlled by Pietro Valsecchi and Camilla Nesbitt) leader in the production of quality
TV drama.
The aim of the operation is to create a new production company able to exploit
opportunities for growth in the content market for television and the cinema, both in
Italy and abroad.
The characteristics of the agreement
The operation will involve the creation of a new company (with net assets of around
€370 million) to which Rti will contribute 100% of Medusa Film and Valsecchi and
Nesbitt 100% of Taodue.
The shareholders of the production company will receive in exchange a 25% stake in
the new company (the remaining 75% of which will be controlled by Rti), as well as
around €107 million.
The governance of the new company will be guaranteed by a board of directors
comprising members nominated in proportion to the shareholders’ interest.

The value of the operation for Mediaset

The creation of this new joint-venture completes the company’s development project
in the content area, begun by Mediaset when it joined the consortium that bought
Endemol and the subsequent acquisition of the Medusa Group.

Rti’s traditional leadership in TV entertainment production (broadcast on Mediaset
channels and also distributed on the new platforms) was consequently reinforced,
firstly by an international opening thanks to Endemol (in May 2007) and then, in July,
with Medusa’s strong position in film rights which are an indispensable resource for
all media that distribute video content on whatever platform.

Today, thanks to the inclusion of TaoDue, the Mediaset Group also becomes leader
in the area of high-quality TV drama, which in continuous expansion, at both national
and international level.

Today’s definition of the agreement:
• represents an important base from which to pursue the development and
integration of film and TV drama production activities in Italy and around the
world;
• enriches the library with products with which it is possible to manage the entire
rights cycle, also by identifying new opportunities and spaces for their
exploitation;
• confirms the company’s intention to open up to the market and to develop also
in the new media area;
• and finally, and not least important, it guarantees a direct involvement and
growing commitment to the production of films and TV drama with new
investments that will valorise the talents of Italian professionals and will translate into development for the entire sector and support for the cultural
value of national products.

Above all, the operation creates new value, producing the necessary critical mass in
quality content which forms the basis for the launch of a new major focused on the
expansion and development of Italian products, also in foreign markets.

Made in Italy swimsuit industry confirms its own prestige all around the world

A bikini, bathing suit, swimwear or swimming costume is an item of clothing designed to be worn for swimming and fashion sea. The manufacturing and marketing of women’s swimwear of high quality and elegance are branded "Made in Italy".

Some information

In English and New Zealand and some zones of Australian English, bikini are usually called togs.

Some history: In all probability, since 1400 BC Roman and Greek athletes were used to dress costumes as much similar as the modern bikinis (This is well shown on frescos and findings of that historic period).

This term is less common in other parts of the Commonwealth where it can also refer to clothes in general.

However, proper bathing suits (swimsuits) finalized to recreation and water sport activities, date back to the end of XIX century. Of course, speaking about women swimwear, they were one-piece swimsuits aimed to hide any sinuous, female shape.

Swimsuits can be skin-tight or loosely fitting and range from garments designed to preserve as much modesty as possible to garments designed to reveal as much of the body as possible without actual nudity.

On the contrary, modern bikini swimsuits, were created and introduced in the market by the Parisian engineer Lous Reard ( the word bikini derives from an atoll of the Marshall Islands).

They are often lined with a fabric that prevents them from becoming transparent when wet.

Naturally this innovation on women’s swimwear outfit -with naked gluteus and belly-, provoked clamour and diffidence in United States, where only in the 50’s was definitely accepted and introduced in the market.

Italian manufacturing of women’s swimwear

A bikini or two-piece is a type of women's swimsuit, characterized by two separate parts one covering the breasts, the other the groin, leaving an uncovered area between the two garments.

Nowadays, after years of experience and style, the Italian production of bathing suits covers a big part of the business representing research, offer and purchasing volumes of swimwear.

It is often worn in hot weather and while swimming. The shapes of both parts of a bikini closely resemble women's underwear, and the lower part of a bikini can therefore range from the more revealing thong or g-string to briefs and the more modest square-cut shorts.

This is probably due to the great tradition, as well as in the sector of summer swimsuit fashion, also in the manufacturing development of the fashion clothing industry able to offer a trend and define fashion on a planetary level.

For a total globalization of swimsuit products, it is fundamental that those Italian Companies dedicated to the creation and development of summer swimwear, adopt advanced web technologies that will allow worldwide visibility and whole satisfaction of the sector demand.

For this purpose, Toscana Chiarugi offers experience and professionalism in the production and online sale of swimwear thanks to promotional investments and realization of a new online catalogue illustrating the whole new summer collection.

Chiarugi is a reference point on the web for swimwear and lingerie sale, being its users not only Italian but women in general, wishing to distinguish themselves by femininity and prestige.

Another score gained by the ‘made in Italy’ clothes manufacturing compared with the European and International Competition!

This article was written by Michele De Capitani with support from women's swimsuit. For any information on Chiarugi, visit Bikini bathing suit or surfing on-line beach wear clothing.

MEDIASET: Publimedia Gestión expects to break €30 million mark

Madrid, November 22 2007

Today Telecinco our controlled company has disclosed the following press
release

Publimedia Gestión expects to break €30 million mark
PUBLIESPAÑA'S GROSS ADVERTISING REVENUES
WILL BREAK €1 BILLION MARK IN 2007
• Telecinco, through Publiespaña and Publimedia, expects a gross advertising
revenue increase of around 6% on the same period in 2006 in the months of
October and November
• Publiespaña opens new business and growth line for Telecinco in
the area of internet with the creation of a company called
Advanced Media in order to maximise advertising revenues from
www.telecinco.es, www.informativos.telecinco.es and
www.bolsacinco.com, as well as platforms for mobile telephony
• This commercial structure is part of Publimedia Gestión, the
advertising space manager for Telecinco's DTT channels, cable
television and written press, among others
• Publiespaña will maintain its market share at more than 2007's
level of 30% despite increased competition
Telecinco, through its concessionary Publiespaña, will mark a new
milestone in the history of Spanish television at the end of the year. The
strength and homogeneity of the channel's programming in all time slots,
leadership in audience numbers and the efficient management of
advertising space will allow Telecinco's gross television advertising
revenues to break the €1 billion mark in the 2007 fiscal year, a
symbolic figure that has never before been reached by any operator in
Spain.

Looking to 2008 and with the aim of opening new channels of growth to
Telecinco, Publiespaña has created a new business line oriented towards
internet and mobile telephony platforms through Advanced Media, a
company owned by Publiespaña and part of Publimedia Gestión. This line
will allow the channel to strengthen advertising revenue in all Telecinco
projects on the internet.
Telecinco increases total advertising revenues by around 6% in
October and November
This impressive figure, which the company expects to exceed when it closes 2007, is
backed up not only by the good results from the first nine months of the year, but
also by the good results produced in the months of October and November, when
Telecinco, through Publiespaña and Publimedia, registered an increase of around
6% in gross advertising revenues when compared to the same period in 2006.
This information – which was announced today by Giuseppe Tringali,
CEO of Telecinco, during the annual convention which the company is
holding in Valencia – once again places Publiespaña as the leading
company in the advertising sector in terms of turnover, profitability,
power ratio, price and market share. The indisputable leading position in
market share is of special relevance in 2007 due to the greater competition
from national generalist public television stations and to new technologies
and ways of accessing television content, despite all of which the company
will maintain a market share of more than 30%.
Publiespaña opens new growth line with the creation of a commercial structure for
increased advertising revenue on the internet and in mobile telephony
Technological advances in mobile telephony and the increasing importance
of advertising investment on the internet have led Publiespaña to begin a
new business line in these areas that will allow Telecinco the possibility of
continuing to increase its turnover.
To do this Publiespaña has opened a new business and growth line for
Telecinco in the area of internet with the creation of a commercial structure
called Advanced Media through which the management of the channel's
website (www.telecinco.es) will be strengthened, as well as the financial
portal, www.bolsacinco.com and Telecinco's news website,
www.informativos.telecinco.es. The Publimedia subsidiary will market the
audiovisual content offers that Orange users receive through 3G mobile
telephones.
In these platforms, Advanced Media will market traditional media at the
same time as it develops tailor-made formats for advertisers through a
creative service which is personalised for each client, adapted to the
singularity and language of both types of media.

This new business line will strengthen the multi-media and multi-platform
character of Publimedia Gestión, a company which expects to close the
year with gross advertising revenues of more than €30 million.
Publimedia Gestión markets audiovisual content offers on platforms that range
from cable television (ONO), digital terrestrial television (Telecinco Sport and
Telecinco Estrellas), analogue television (marketed in the Spanish market from
Mediaset television stations in Italy, Germany and United Kingdom), written
press (Bulevar 21, Mi Cartera de Inversión and the titles owned by the publishing
house Mondadori) and above-the-line media (Canal Metro Madrid and Barcelona
and seat backs on football pitches) to the creation and sale of television formats
“Más que coches”, “nosolomusica” and “El mundo mágico de Brunelesky”.
Iniciativas Especiales (Special Initiatives) accounts for more than 15% of the total
turnover
On the other hand, Publiespaña has met its aim to have the Iniciativas Especiales
area account for more than 15% of total turnover, a figure which stands testament to
clients' growing interest in the new advertising formulas which allow Publiespaña
to stay at the forefront of creation and development, made possible by the
maintenance of their pricing policy as a way of weighing the value of the product
in the current audiovisual environment.

Press release by Consortium for Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

2007 is showing positive results again for the industry of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena: despite the consumption growth trend has been leveling compared to the average growth of the previous 5 years (which showed double-digit figures), the first industry forecasts for 2007 show an increase in volume of about 5% vs the previous year, with an expectation for a total output of more than 80 million liters.

As far as concerns costs and prices, the industry of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is strongly influenced by the wine and grape markets, particularly for grape must and this aspect will strongly affect the 2008 quotations.
In fact, data released by the agricultural organizations after the 2007 harvest show that the results of the grape collection were the worst in the last 50 years, with a huge decrease in quantity and tensions on demands, which caused a price increase for these raw materials of up to 35% more compared to 2006.

The Diva album is set to explode with other hot joints like Bay Swag featuring Dem Hoodstarz and Excuse Me featuring Numskull of the Luniz

While know doubt Keldamuzik is a superb micsmith it’s her writing that she’s been honing since her childhood days of writing fairytale stories, that’s the real genesis here. As the Oakland Ca. based Keldamuzik says about Diva "its music for all ages".

Ratings: Telecinco Spain’s leading channel
The Board of Directors of Mediaset, which met today under the Chairmanship of
Fedele Confalonieri, has approved the Group’s report for the nine months to 30
September 2007.

MEDIASET GROUP: CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Included, from July 2007, as a result of the acquisitions made in the current year, are the companies of the Medusa Group, which have been fully consolidated, and, on a
net equity basis, the 33.3% stake held, through Mediacinco in the consortium that
controls the Endemol Group.
Also taking account of the new area of consolidation, the performance of the group in
the first nine months of 2007 can be summarised as follows:
• consolidated net revenues rose to €2,816.1 million, compared with €2,671.5
million in the first nine months of 2006, an increase of 5.4%.
• EBIT rose to €787.8 million, an increase of €47.6 million on the figure for the same
period of the previous year (€740.2 million).
• operating profitability, operating profit as a proportion of consolidated net
revenues, went up to 28.0%, from the 27.7% recorded in the first nine months of
2006.

• profit before taxation and that attributable to third-party shareholders rose to
€756.5 million, compared with €727.1 million at 30 September 2006.
• net profit attributable to the Group, after estimated taxation, rose to €372.3
million, from the €369.1 million of the first nine months of the previous year.
• the Group’s net financial position went from -€568.3 million at 31 December 2006
to -€1,167.1 million at 30 September 2007. The deficit is mainly due to the
expenditure in the third quarter (for a total of €598 million) for the acquisition of the
Medusa Group and the capitalisation of the vehicle established for the acquisition
of Endemol. as well as the distribution of dividends by the parent company and the
subsidiary Telecino (for a total of €644.7 million).
• In the first nine months of the year, the group’s net cash generation amounted to
€681.3 million, up from the €356.4 million for the same period of last year: in fact,
2006 recorded expenditure of €290 million for the acquisition of a dedicated
network for mobile TV services (DVBH) and the acquisition of options on encrypted
football rights for the 2009/2010 season of a number of important Serie A clubs.
A BREAKDOWN OF RESULTS BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA
Italy
• In the first nine months of 2007 consolidated net revenues recorded an increase
of 3.7%, reaching €2,045.9 million compared with €1,972.4 million in the same
period of the previous year. The increase is largely the result of higher revenues
from the pay-per-view activities of Mediaset Premium, network operator activities
and the consolidation of the revenues of the Medusa Group.
Gross television advertising revenues came to €2,002.5 million, a fall of 3.1%
on the same period of 2006. During the first nine months, this result was affected
by a reduction in advertising investments by a number of key clients who had
already made marked reductions in their budgets during the closing months of
2006.
If the examination is extended to the first 10 months of the year, and consequently
including the brilliant start to the new autumn TV season, advertising sales show a
marked recovery that brings the cumulative figure essentially in line with that of the
first 10 months of 2006 (-0.4%).
Mediaset Premium showed a marked improvement in revenues with the first nine
months pushing the total up to €142.8 million, well over twice the figure of €61.0
million for the first nine months of 2006. The figure includes the figure of €48.7
million from the sale of encrypted football rights for use on other platforms.
The first nine months of 2007 also recorded sales of more than 1.8 million new rechargeable
cards and more than 4.4 million re-charges.
• EBIT rose to €426.3 million, compared with €423.3 million to 30 September 2006.

• total television costs saw a significant fall (-1.1% compared with the first nine
months of the previous year and on a like-for-like basis) and in the face of a 2007
target that was in line with the costs of 2006.
• pre-tax profit came to €385,6 million, compared with €402.8 million in the first
nine months of 2006.
• net profit amounted to €239,7 million, compared with €253.9 million in the first
nine months of 2006.
• The impact on the group’s consolidated results of the recently acquired activities
(Medusa and Endemol) already show a positive contribution, net of acquisition
costs).
TV ratings: were positive in the first nine months of 2007 with Mediaset channels
confirming their national leadership in all time bands among viewers in the 15 to 64
year-old age range (the commercial target): in fact, Mediaset recorded 42.8% in
primetime and 43.1% in the 24 hours.
Canale 5 is Italy’s most popular channel among the commercial target, with a 21.2%
share in primetime and 20.6% in the 24 hours.

FORECAST FOR THE YEAR
In the current year, on a like-for-like basis and excluding the contribution generated by
changes in leaving entitlements, the company expects to confirm an operating profit
that is higher than that of the previous year, the extent of the improvement will depend
on TV advertising sales in Italy and Spain in the last two months of the year.
The effect of the consolidation of the companies of the Medusa Group and the
inclusion, on a net equity basis, of the 33.3% held, through Mediacinco, in the
consortium that controls Endemol are not expected to have a significant impact on the
consolidated result of the current year. Also taking account of the positive operating
results and the financial structure of the operations.
Italy
Ratings. At the end of the first ten months of 2007, Mediaset channels confirmed their
leadership in the commercial target (15-64 year-olds) in all time bands, with average
ratings of 42.9% in primetime and 43.1% in the 24 hours. Canale 5 consolidated its
position as Italy’s most popular channel and Italia 1 as the third.
Mediaset Premium. Sales were also excellent in the month of October: in fact, to date,
around 2.0 million pre-paid cards have been sold and 4.9 million re-charges.
Spain
Ratings. Also in October, Telecinco confirmed its leadership in terms of share, further
extending its advantage over its main competitors.
The executive responsible for the preparation of the Mediaset S.p.A. accounts, Andrea
Goretti, declares that, as per para. 2 art. 154-bis, of the Single Finance Bill, that the
accounting information contained in this press release corresponds to that contained in the
company’s books.

MEDIASET: Financial results for the nine-month period ended September 2007 of Telecinco

Today Telecinco our controlled company has disclosed the following press release

Madrid, 31 October 2007

Financial results for the nine-month period ended September 2007

TELECINCO'S NET PROFIT UP 14.6%, UNDERPINNED BY AUDIENCE SHARE LEADERSHIP, COMMERCIAL STRATEGY AND COST MANAGEMENT

• Net profit is €262.82 million
• Telecinco is the leading television channel in 2007 in terms of audience share and the only one showing a share of over 20% in terms of total day share (20.4%) prime-time share (20.7%) and commercial target share (22.7%)
• Grupo Publiespaña had record gross advertising revenues of €750.54 million, an increase of 9.6% compared to the same period in 2006. Net advertising revenues up 9.5% to €717.92 million
• Net revenues up 10% to €770.95 million
• At €361.55 million, EBIT is up 13.9% on the same period in 2006


A consistent and stable programming with a strict control of costs, an audience share of 20.4% for the year to date and a 9.5% growth in net advertising revenues are the factors underpinning the 14.6% growth in Telecinco's net profit for the nine-month period ended in September. Despite more intense competition, Telecinco has managed not only to improve its financial results, but also to achieve a record outperformance compared with its traditional competitors, increasingly widening the gap with the second and third-leading operators.

With only one quarter left to end the fiscal year, Telecinco saw a new record profit for the January-September period, re-stating its position as one of the most profitable television networks in Europe and Spain's number one operator in terms of audience share, advertising sales, operating margins, cash generation and stockmarket value. Outperformance in these metrics has led Telecinco to obtain its all-time best results in revenues and operating margins (adjusted EBITDA and EBIT), as well as net profit.


Telecinco expands revenues, margins and profit
Telecinco has achieved new records in the first nine months of 2007 with net advertising revenues of €717.92 million, up 9.5% on €655.69 million for the same period in 2006.


The channel has again grown its EBIT and EBITDA operating margins on the back of the high figures reported in 2006 and despite new competition. The gross operating margin (adjusted EBITDA) reached €366.16 million, up by 13.7% on the first nine months of 2006. The company's EBIT was €361.55 million, up 13.9% on the same period in 2006 (€317.31 million).


Pre-tax profit leapt from €324.62 million in the first nine months of 2006 to €370.97 million, an increase of 14.3%.


Net profit totalled €262.82 million, representing an increase of 14.6% on the same period in 2006 (€229.30 million).


Grupo Publiespaña leads the market with a new record in gross advertising revenues
Between January and September 2007, Grupo Publiespaña has confirmed its leadership position in terms of turnover in Spain's television market with gross advertising revenues of €750.54 million, representing an increase of 9.6% on the same period in 2006 (€685.08 million). Telecinco's advertising operator has set new records and continues to lead the television advertising market in Spain.


Profitability-driven cost management
For the year to September 2007, total operating costs grew by 6.7% compared to the same period in 2006, to €409.40 million. This growth is in line with the channel's targets for its television operations and includes costs associated with the consolidation of Jumpy and the incorporation of Mediacinco Cartera S.L.


Telecinco heads the year-to-date audience share ranking with 20.4%, almost 3 percentage points more than its competitors
The broadcast of new programmes that attracted the audience, together with well-established serials and shows in which the company introduced innovations, have placed Telecinco's programming as the most robust and consistent in Spain's broadcast industry. Telecinco's strong performance in all time slots, particularly in the prime-time slot, has enabled the channel to remain as the only television with an audience share of over 20% - 20.4%, almost 3 percentage points more than Antena 3 (17.5%) and 3.2 percentage points more than TVE 1 (17.2%).


This figure places Telecinco as the best performer compared to the same period in 2006, showing a year-on-year decrease of only 0.9 points, compared with Antena 3’s steep decline of 2.1 points and TVE 1's decline of 1 point.


For the year to date, Telecinco has increased its daily average to 20.7% in the prime time slot, widening the gap with Antena 3 (17%) to 3.7 points and with TVE 1 (16.8%) to 3.9 points. Similarly, Telecinco’s prime time appears to be the least affected by increasing competition with a decline of only 0.8 points compared with the January-September period in 2006. TVE 1 dropped 1.4 points and Antena 3 showed again the greatest year-on-year decline, with its prime time down by a remarkable 2.4 points.


January - 30 October 2007
Telecinco Antena 3 TVE 1
Total day 20.4% 17.5% 17.2%
Prime time 20.7% 17.0% 16.8%


As for the commercial target, Telecinco maintains its traditional leadership both in terms of total day share with 22.7% - 5.2 points more than Antena 3 (17.5%) and 9.3 points more than TVE 1 (13.4%) - and prime-time share with 23.3%, widening the gap with Antena 3 (16.8%) to 6.5 points and with TVE 1 (13.4%) to almost 10 points:
Telecinco Antena 3 TVE 1
Commercial target - Total day 2007 22.7% 17.5% 13.4%
Commercial target - Prime time 2007 23.3% 16.8% 13.4%


Comments by Paolo Vasile and Giuseppe Tringali, chief executives of Telecinco
In the opinion of Paolo Vasile, “figures for the first nine months of 2007 are extremely rewarding and encourage us to further our content and business strategy. In spite of the dramatic changes in the industry, Telecinco has been able to tighten the loyalty bonds with its audience to create a notable distance with its rivals. We are very grateful to our viewers, who day after day demonstrate that they prefer Telecinco and its programmes, be they classical, new, entertainment or news. It is a reward for the daily efforts of a team that is truly committed to accompany viewers".

"We are very pleased with our strong results in the third quarter, which we hope will have helped us to increase our market share. Our results are the direct consequence of the entire company's commitment, of our work philosophy and our humble desire to improve day by day. For us, it is very clear that content and advertising leadership can only be achieved by constantly winning the confidence of the audience and the companies that select us as their channel of choice with their investments. This confidence is the driving force behind our ongoing efforts to continue offering best-in-class service to the market", said Giuseppe Tringali.

Emzin seminar on graphic design, 20th and 21st November 2007

Days of British design

Domenic Lippa and Harry Pearce (Pentagram), Stephen Sorell and Damon Murray (FUEL)

Conference hall, Garni Hotel, Miklošičeva 9, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Domenic Lippa was born in 1962 in London, where he also studied at the London College of Printing, a prestige college that has gained worldwide fame for its research into the ways and aesthetics of creating visual ideas. Successful design projects (packaging, print, identity design, retail graphics, etc.) have won Domenic a worldwide reputation as well as invitations to work for prominent clients (including the furniture retailer Heal’s & Sons and the premium international spa company Espa) and global organisations such as TDK, Vodafone and Unilever. Thanks to his extensive knowledge in typography he found himself on the executive committee of the Typographic Circle for a number of years; he also co-edits and designs the Circular magazine. Domenic Lippa has been the recipient of many awards, his work has been featured in numerous design publications and exhibitions throughout the world, and his lectures have been extensive both in frequency and diversity of location. He is a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale.

Harry Pearce, born in London in 1960, studied at the Canterbury College of Art. His work touches a number of design disciplines, from spatial design and identity to print and packaging. His clients include Phaidon Publishing, Williams F1, Kangol, Shakespeare’s Globe, Science Museum, etc., while his corporate identity work includes Halfords and The Co-operative. Harry Pearce has won many national and international design awards including two D&AD Silvers. His work was exhibited at the show of excellence in New York at the celebration of British design and at the 50th anniversary exhibition of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) in Paris, of which he is also a member.

Domenic Lippa and Harry Pearce founded their own design company Lippa Pearce Design in 1990 and after having worked together for 21 years they joined Pentagram’s London studio, an office of unique cooperation between 19 graphic designers with offices in New York, San Francisco, Austin and Berlin.

On the first day of the seminar, Tuesday, 20th November 2007, Harry Pearce and Domenic Lippa will discuss their mutual love of language and typography, which has been a constant cornerstone to them both. Harry Pearce will cover his work in spatial design, identity, print and packaging for clients such as Phaidon Publishing, Kangol, Shakespeare’s Globe, The Co-operative and the London Science Museum. Domenic Lippa will talk about his work as the co-editor and designer of the international magazine baseline as well as his work as the Chairman of the Typographic Circle for whom he designs their magazine Circular. Alongside this he will also discuss his commercial work for clients such as Heal’s & Sons, Espa, TDK and Vodafone.

The second part will be dedicated to the great change in their work after they joined Pentagram; Domenic and Harry will explain what is it like to suddenly have nineteen partners, five offices and have to walk in the footsteps of design legends.

Damon Murray (born in 1967 in London) and Stephen Sorrell (born in 1967 in Maidstone, Kent) studied graphic design at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art. In 1991, while at the Royal College of Art, they started working together and established FUEL. From the outset FUEL combined varied commissions with their own projects, including a self-published magazine. Their projects often contained thought provoking graphic messages. In 1996 and 2000 they published Pure Fuel and Fuel 3000, two books that examined the accepted notions of graphic design, illustrating ideas and preoccupations that explored the themes of authorship. Their clients include Levi’s, Sony, MTV, Virgin Records, Marc Jacobs, XBOX, and Adidas. As well as their work in print, FUEL have also produced and directed short films, TV channel idents, film titles and TV commercials. In 2005 FUEL Publishing was formed within the group. This process involves close collaboration with the authors on the content, which together with their experience in book design, produces a broad range of beautiful and distinctive books. FUEL have also designed books and catalogues for Tracey Emin, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Sam Taylor-Wood and Juergen Teller. In 2006 FUEL were asked to produce a 60th anniversary Penguin Designer Classic alongside Sir Paul Smith, Sam Taylor-Wood, Ron Arad and Manolo Blahnik.

On the second day of the seminar, Wednesday, 21st November 2007, Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell will talk about the first steps of FUEL, their early self-published magazines and books Pure Fuel and Fuel 3000. FUEL will show their self-published work alongside commercial commissions and explain how the two overlap. They will show experimental short films and graphic animations that have led to TV commercials, a series of thought provoking Sci-Fi channel idents and film titles.

In the last few years FUEL have become even more involved in books. In the afternoon FUEL will present their work as publishers - how the content of a book is just as important to them as the design. Since their group trip to Moscow in 1992 FUEL have had a growing interest in Russia. So far they have published four books on Russian subcultures, notably on Russian criminal tattoos. They will discuss these books as well as other books in the series.

The seminar will take place on 20th and 21st November 2007 at Garni Hotel, Miklošičeva 9, Ljubljana, between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm. The lectures will be held in English and will have no simultaneous translation. The fee for the seminar is 320 EUR (VAT excluded), and 110 EUR (VAT excluded) for students. Applications will be accepted every weekday between 9 am and 3 pm at Emzin, Metelkova 6, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia, telephone: +386 1 430 35 44, mobile: +386 31 685 067, fax: +386 1 430 35 40, e-mail: emzin@guest.arnes.si.

We would be most grateful if you helped us promote this seminar by publishing this announcement in your media.

Kind regards

Jasna Rackov, Tanja Hladnik, project managers

Special thanks for the realisation of the seminar go to the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, the Culture and Research Department of the City of Ljubljana and the British Council.

Shopping online in Italy: a growing sector

Finally, also in Italy, the market share of online purchases is growing progressively. To the increased demand of products for computing, Brandhardware responds with a new technological website.

Internet is becoming more and more a business tool, available to Italian companies, which may direct their attention to a user’s catchment area "potentially infinite"

The Italian e-commerce, although lagging behind North American and European, is progressing both in terms of demand (gradual increase of users connected to the internet) both in terms of quality of service and product offered (improved performance of e-commerce portals and advanced sales techniques of "Web Marketing").


How we explain this interest for on-line purchases?

Simply with a word, progress. The coverage of the entire nation with broadband (ADSL) has made it possible to navigate so much faster and safer (no danger on Dialer) compared to a few years ago with simple telephone plug. Moreover, usually those who offer goods and services online has more competitive prices than those who work with traditional sales: in fact there are less operating costs, advertising / visibility and human resources.

In addition, the vast amount of users 24 hours a day, 7 days a week allows online stores to have more merchandise possible with a significant fall in gross margins.

In any case, buy products online is convenient, easy, fast and very safe. The fact of security can still be the biggest obstacle that e-commerce will face for the boom that all expect in the following years. In fact Italian customers are very skeptical and always in search of "traps" to avoid (the distrust is a bit of our nature, fortunately). Then, as well as to grow in terms of numbers, the course and its traders should form Internet users about possible risks to purchase online and propose strategies and techniques that encourage protection of the user to place greater attention and confidence in what we are doing.

In this regard, a successful example of informatics shop online is Brandhardware.it, by proposing a site with pleasant graphics and very simple, able to "reassure" the visitor and transform it into a customer status, thanks to the competitive prices of products exposed.

The menu on the left, is a classic example of usability that allows with only 2 clicks to reach the product needed quickly and easily. The portal has recently inaugurated and is dedicated to offers LCD monitors and especially notebooks.

Then wishing the trend to continue and especially that those involved in e-commerce sector do not lose the opportunity to grow more and more the Italian e-commerce and perhaps to achieve, at least in qualitative terms the American model.

Swimming pool on the roof and children safety.

The Hotel Vienna, located in Lignano Sabbiadoro, opens to the public its new and exclusive swimming pool on the hotel's roof with panoramic view. It offers a great overview on the entire seaside resort and also allow to relax inside the new solarium.
The key to success in tourist business is on the update ability, as demonstrated by the Hotel Vienna, which decided to add new facilities to its guests.
The modern concept of client service means, first of all, hotel facilities' accessibility.
From this perspective, guests can easily reach each floor by elevator, until the fifth and last level, where the swimming pool is located.
Recent studies show that Lignano Sabbiadoro is more appreciated and frequented by families.
Paying attention to these results, the Hotel Vienna Management decided to renovate its facilities to better accommodate family tourism: in addition to the swimming pool, where people can relax and have fun admiring Lignano, the Administration projected and realized a new children playground.
Give a leisurely holiday to parents, means that they must have the chance to let their children playing in safe places. This is the reason why the hotel offers big connecting rooms, that give more privacy but also the possibility to control the children.
The Hotel Vienna is located in a very good position: it is near the city centre and also to the beach, where the Hotel Management reserves every year an equipped private beach to its guests.
These features could be enough to attract tourist streams, but to rival other hotels in Lignano, the management must invest to suggest new features like the swimming pool on the hotel's floor.

So what's happened in the last 20 years?
I like to say: "it's not a fish, it's the aquarium", we haven't changed, our genes are the same, they have been in our body for 50.000 years, what's changed is our diet and our lifestyle.

So the first step is understanding your body shape, and understanding your body fat and understanding your body protein.
People comes out with all different shapes, man can get body fact mostly in the upper body, women get it either in the upper or in the lower body.

The upper body fat, is fat that allows you to hang on the calories while you search for food. You may resist whole days without food in the jungle with your upper body fat.

Women lower body fat is there to allowed them to breast feed infant. It responds to the female hormones. It too is an important organ in your body, just like your hearth, the kidney, or your brain.

Understanding how it works and understanding how your diet relates to your body shape, your body fat, your body protein, is the key of being successful.

I've got a lots of different patients in the last 30 years. Typically a big man with a lot of upper body fat tells me: " Oh, I can loose weight any time I want, I can cut my stake in half and I loose 20 pounds!"
The bad side of habits he thinks he can loose weight any time he wants. So he doesn't care of what he eats every day and he may continue to eat a 400 grams stakes with onions rings...
On the other hand of the spectrum, there is a small woman who wants to loose weight but can't. She follows all rules, eats the right food, but because her metabolism is slow, because of her low level or body protein, she is not able of loose weight as easily. Women usually loose weight more slowly than man.
So what's the key of understanding your body?

You have to know your body protein, match the protein in your diet to the protein in your body and understand that we each have a personal best shape.

One size is not for all. Understand your body shape is the first step for the loosing weight and setting your personal best shape in the most effective and easiest way possible.
So first thing is understanding your body, understanding your body shape, understanding your body fat and how it relates to your diet and life style.

The first thing I will do to teach you to understand your body is to determine the amount of protein that is in your body. Protein is extremely important, it helps to maintain healthy muscles and organs in your body. If you don't eat enough protein in your diet, your body steal your protein from muscles, leaver and other organs. If there is not enough protein in your diet you don't' have enough energy during the day. But if you eat enough protein you have a lot of energy and protein will help you to satisfy your hunger. So you won't be as tempted to eat the wrong foods.

Now, I am determining how much protein is in your body. I estimate your lean. For every pound of lean in your body, you need 1 gram of protein. So a woman with 100 pounds of lean will need 100 grams of protein a day, her husband with 150 pounds of lean, will need 150 grams of protein in his diet every day. And I can also determine the amount of calories you burn every day, with a very simple tool. Two electrodes on your hands and feet, fully painless, and in a few seconds using your electrical properties of your body I can determine how much lean and how much fat is in your body.
A woman with 100 pounds of lean burns 1400 calories per day since every pound of lean burns 31 calories per day.
Her husband with 150 pounds of lean burns 2100 calories per day.

So now I know how much protein you need in a diet and how many calories you burn per day.
How can I find out how quickly you loose weight on a diet? What turns out is, if I can give you a diet that's 500 calories lower I calculate to be resting calories burned per day, you loose 1 pound per week.
Finally I can determine your target weight, what will be your right weight for you at the proper range of body fat.
All of that information in a few minutes from this simple tools. So we are building a road map for you. If you are gonna go on a trip for a city for vacation, you'd like to know "which road do I take? How long will take me to take there? What's my final destination? Using this simple tool we found to map out your journey to your personal best body shape.

How many calories you burn per day? How much protein you need in your diet, how quickly you loose weight, your ultimate target weight should be.

Now you know how much protein and how much calories you will need to loose weight properly.
But how we do it? How it will do during the day?
Well, it's very difficult for you to eat the right number calories just try to eat less of your favourite foods.
What I found works the best in the ideal meal. An healthy protein fortified shake tastes good and moody. (...)

Herbalife, total wellness for your body

Here's some important advices about digestive and Cardiovascular system health.
Learn about the value of digestive health from Dr. Luigi Gratton.

Q: Why is digestive health so valuable?
A: Most people have experienced digestive issues at some point in their lives. Many modern diets lack the sufficient nutrition, such as fiber, for good digestive health. Fiber is essential for weight management and intestinal health but most people only eat half the recommended daily dietary fiber intake.

Q: What can I do to increase my fiber intake?
A: I always encourage people to eat 5-7 servings of fruits and vegetables each day to get their daily fiber intake. But I realize how challenging it is to do that with our modern diet and on-the-go lifestyle. That is why I recommend Active Fiber Drink Mix, Florafiber, Activated Fiber tablets and the 21-Day Herbal Cleansing Program to support your diet. These supplements can contribute to promoting regularity, a feeling of fullness and the growth of “friendly” intestinal bacteria. Another powerful product to support digestive health naturally is Herbal Aloe.

Q: How does Herbal Aloe promote digestive health?
A: Herbalife's Herbal Aloe formula is gentle and soothing because we filter out the laxative stimulant, alloin, to produce an herbal aloe with all of the organic nutrients of the aloe plant. The aloe plant contains over 75 substances known for their healing properties. Herbal Aloe assists your body's self-cleansing action and healthy elimination. Plus, you can support healthy digestion wherever you are with Herbalife's ready-to-drink form. To maintain a healthy digestive system, support your healthy diet with plenty of fiber and Herbalife's digestive supplements.

Learn about the importance of a healthy cardiovascular system from Dr. Lou Ignarro.

Q: Why is cardiovascular health so important?
A: Your cardiovascular system is literally at the heart of your overall health. Maintaining it is crucial for a variety of reasons. It gives you energy and the ability to keep up with the daily demands of life. A healthy cardiovascular system is also essential for mental clarity and protecting you against stress. Additionally, cardiovascular health contributes to overall vitality.

Q: What kinds of things can I do to improve my cardiovascular health?
A: There are several things you can–and should–incorporate into your life to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. Exercise is crucial. Brisk walks, sit-ups, light weight training, swimming and biking are all excellent, low impact and efficient exercises for any fitness level. The important thing is to do something every day. Another important factor is proper eating–and that means getting the right amount of essential vitamins and other nutrients, as well as antioxidants.

Q: How does Herbalife's Core Complex help improve heart health?
A: Core Complex targets four key indicators of heart health: cholesterol, triglycerides, homocysteine and oxidative stress. Taking Core Complex is a great way to give your cardiovascular system the nutrition it needs every day. Whatever you do to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system, the important thing to remember is to make it a priority. Exercise regularly, eat right and keep stress to a minimum. Your health depends on it.

MEDIASET GROUP: CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Performance in the first six months of 2007 can be summarised as follows:
• consolidated net revenues came to €2,077.0 million, compared with !1,994.1
million in the first half of 2006.
• EBIT came to €699.9 million, a !48.2 million increase on the same period of the
previous year (!651.7 million). This result was affected by non-recurring income of
!23.0 million resulting from legislative changes introduced from the beginning of
2007 regarding the destination of funds for severance payments.
• operating profitability, operating profit as a proportion of consolidated net
revenues, came to 33.7%, compared with 32.7% in the first half of 2006.
• profit before taxation and that attributable to third-party shareholders, amounted
to €681.9 million, compared with !646.3 million for the same period of 2006.
• net profit attributable to the Group, after estimated taxation, came to €340.8
million, compared with !332.5 million in the first half of the previous year.
• the Group’s net financial position went from -!568.3 million on 31 December
2006 to -€760.8 million on 30 June 2007. This deficit is mainly due to the
distribution of dividends by the parent company and the subsidiary Telecinco (for a
total of !644.6 million).
• In the first six months of the year the Group’s net cash generation amounted to
€451.7 million, compared with !165.8 million in the same period of the previous
year: in fact, in 2006 expenditure included !260 million for the acquisition of the
DVBH network and the acquisition of encrypted rights for the 2009/2010 football
season of leading Serie A clubs.

A BREAKDOWN OF RESULTS BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA

Italy

• In the first half of 2007 consolidated net revenues recorded growth of 2.3% to
reach €1,505.8 million, compared with !1,472.2 million in the same period of the
previous year. This increase was mainly the result of higher revenues from the
Mediaset Premium pay-per-view service and network operator activities.
Television advertising revenues came to €1,522.6 million, a fall of 3.4% on the
first half of 2006. This was the result of a shortfall in advertising investments by a
number of big groups that had already reduced their budgets in the last six months
of 2006. Starting in March, however, there was a recovery which led to an
improvement in sales for Mediaset’s channels which, in the second quarter, grew
by 0.4% compared with the same period of 2006.
• EBIT came to €407.0 million, an increase on the !387.8 million of the first half of
2006.
• total television costs were down in the period (-3.1% on the first six months of
the previous year) where the objective for 2007 is to be essentially in line with the
costs of 2006. This result was affected by extraordinary income of !21.6 million
generated by legislative changes introduced at the beginning of 2007 on the use of
funds for severance payments.
• pre-tax profit came to €379.9 million, compared with !377.6 million in the first
half of 2006.
• net profit amounted to €234.7 million, compared with !239.0 million in the first
half 2006.
• there were excellent results for the pay-per-view business, “Mediaset Premium”
which saw a marked increase in revenues in the first six months of 2007, which
reached €92.5 million, well over double the !36.3 million of the first half of last
year. This figure includes income !22.6 million for the sale of encrypted football
rights for use on other platforms.
Only two years since its launch, and for the second quarter in a row, Mediaset
Premium has recorded a positive operating profit.

In the first six months of 2007 more than 420,000 new re-chargeable cards and
more than 2.5 million re-charges were sold..
• TV ratings during the period were also positive: in the first six months of 2007
Mediaset’s channels confirmed their national leadership in all the time bands
among viewers in the 15 to 64 year-old age range (the commercial target) that
account for 70% of the Italian population: Mediaset had a 43.0% prime time
share and 43.3% in the 24 hours.
Canale 5 is Italy’s most popular channel in the commercial target with a 23.3%
prime time share and 22.9% in the 24 hours.

Spain

• In the first six months of 2007 consolidated net revenues generated by the
Telecinco Group came to €571.9 million, an increase on the !523.3 for the same
period of the previous year.
• Telecinco’s operating profit rose to €293.0 million, from the !264.4 million of the
first half of 2006.
• operating profitability (operating profit as a proportion of consolidated net
revenues) reached a record level of 51.2% (50.5% in the first half of 2006).
• pre-tax profit came to €302.0 million, compared with !269.1 million in the first
half of 2006.
• net profit amounted to €211.6 million, compared with !186.4 million in the first
half 2006.
• Telecinco’s ratings were also up, consolidating its position as Spain’s absolute
leader with a prime time share of 20.6% and 20.4% in the 24 hours.

FORECAST FOR THE YEAR

On a like-for-like basis and excluding the contribution generated by legislative changes
concerning the use of funds for severance payments, for the current year the Group expects to
generate a higher level of operating profit than last year. The scale of the increase will depend
of the trends in advertising sales both in Italy and in Spain.
From the beginning of the third quarter the companies of the Medusa Group will be fully
consolidated, on a net equity basis, as will the 33.3% stake in the consortium that controls
Endemol (held by Mediacinco). These factors are not expected to have a significant impact of
the consolidated results for the current year, given the positive operating results that will be
generated by the various businesses and the financial structure of the Endemol operation that
sustains the cost of the acquisition.

Italy

Ratings. At the end of the period January-August 2007 Mediaset channels confirmed their
leadership in the commercial target (15-16 year-olds) in all time bands, with an average prime
time share of 42.9% and a 43% share in the 24 hours. Canale 5 consolidated its absolute
leadership, while Italia 1 confirmed its position as Italy’s third most popular channel.
Advertising sales. The trend in sales for Mediaset channels in the two-month period
July/August was up on the figure for the same period of the previous year, confirming the
progressive improvement that began in March. As a result of this performance, advertising
sales, which at the end of the first half was down by -3.4%, after eight months were down by
about -2% compared with the same period of the previous year. A further increase in
advertising sales is expected in the coming months and should lead to consolidated
advertising revenues for the year in line with those of 2006.
Mediaset Premium. Excellent sales have been recorded since the end of June, coinciding with
the launch of the new pay-TV service. To date, around 1.1 million pre-paid cards and 1.4
million re-charges have been sold.

Spain

Telecinco confirmed, also in the two-month period July/August its leadership, both in terms of
share, with a further increase at the end of 8 months in the gap from its main competitors.
The executive responsible for the preparation of the Mediaset S.p.A. accounts,
Andrea Goretti, declares that, as per para. 2 art. 154-bis, of the Single Finance Bill,
that the accounting information contained in this press release corresponds to that
contained in the company’s books.
