Lorenzo il Magnifico award to Marina Abramovic
The Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte Contemporanea in Florence dedicated, as is customary, the "Lorenzo il Magnifico career " award an international recognition of contemporary artistic culture to those particularly outstanding and that still continue to stand by their work.
The VII Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte Contemporanea of Florence awards the "Lorenzo il Magnifico career " award to Marina Abramovic, one of the most important and interesting contemporary performers.
Of Yugoslav origin, active from the 1970s with a series of memorable performances, in which the artist's body is the matter and central part of the work of her research on the limits of human physicality, Marina Abramovic, the experiences through violence to the point of putting her own body at risk with the presence and use of dangerous items including "On the table there are seventy-two objects that can be used at will on me. I am the object "(Studio Morra, Naples, 1974), truly involving her public, for example, in the famous performance weightlessness (Galleria d'Arte Moderna, Bologna, 1977), made with the German artist Ulay ( Uwe Laysiepen), with whom she has an artistic partnership since 1976 and from which it split in 1989 upon completion of their performance 'Great Wall Walk': their meeting in the middle of the Great Wall of China, 2000 kilometers long, after a journey that lasted ninety days.
Through the testing of physical and psychological limits of her existence, Marina Abramovic withstands pain, exhaustion, fear and danger in seeking conversion of their emotional and spiritual sphere.
Marina Abramovic has presented and presents her work with images, sounds and video in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe and the United States.
Since 1991 she has taught in Germany at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig. In 1997 the XLVII Venice Biennale has received the Golden Lion for 'Balkan Baroque', eight hour performance, during which Marina Abramovic cleans one hundred cow femurs, an action that becomes the symbol to cancel the atrocities that her countrymen have committed in ethnic conflicts, the Balkan in the 90s.
This work, together with the performances 'The Hero' (2001), 'Count On', 'Nude with Skeleton' (2003) and 'Balkan Erotic Epic' (2005), was part of her exhibition entitled "Balkan Epic" held Hangar Bicocca in Milan in 2006.
In 2003 Marina Abramovic received the New York Dance and Performance Award The Bessies for 'The House with Ocean View' a twelve-day performance at Sean Kelly Gallery in New York.
In 2005 she presented at the Guggenheim Museum in New York a series of performances entitled 'Seven Easy Pieces'.
The works of Marina Abramovic are present in the most important contemporary art collections in the world.

Interferences, Art and the Hospital: the spaces between action and reaction

Experiences from the Meyer Hospital Florence, Marseilles and Manchester.
International conference
Saturday 28 November, 9am-6pm
at the Meyer Paediatric Hospital, Viale Pieraccini 24, Florence, Italy

On Saturday 28 November, the international conference "Interferences, Art and the Hospital" will take place at the Meyer Paediatric Hospital of Florence from 9am to 6pm.

The conference is entitled "Interferences" because art in a hospital setting stands out and stimulates both on a psychological and on a social level, of who breathes the anxiety and the fears of the environment of a paediatric hospital. The Meyer hospital of Florence bears testimony to this, having art integrated into the new hospital complex of Villa Ognissanti. Works that colour the areas and break up spaces and fill in time, in the wards, clinic waiting rooms, corridors, infiltrating into the garden, the stairwells, filling the voids of the large skylights, offering itself as a stimulus in the relationships between the workers, the young patients and their families. The experience of the Florentine hospital is not intended to be art therapy or a Disney scenario, but rather an art that "stimulates reactions and relations between those who share it."

Amongst the speakers at this international conference, organized by the Regione Toscana (Department of Culture, Department for the Right to Health) and the Meyer Foundation, are the semiologist Omar Calabrese and Peter Scher, from the Arts of Health from the Faculty of Health Art and Design at the University of Manchester. The most important international experiences will be presented, such as a project for the Hospital of Marseilles by Michelangelo Pistoletto, creator of Cittadellarte, who will be present with a contribution. The conference, which will begin with opening remarks by Tommaso Langiano, President of the Meyer Foundation, aims to build a path so that the "Art at the Meyer laboratory" and what has been achieved elsewhere, can be replicated in other hospitals. Art at the Meyer is not mere decoration but is an interaction with the children, even in the many laboratories active in the Toy Library.

In particular, to outline the planning capacity with the declared intention of making it possible in other hospital contexts, the conference Interferences, will be divided in two: in the morning the theme will reflect what has been achieved to date. There will be a whole session dedicated to artistic experiences already activated reflecting both national and European realities, according to a holistic view of the Hospital, which in turn should reflect a multiplicity of visions and perceptions, to contain and to recall from elements of everyday life to the fantastic and to the imaginary. Paolo Cocchi Councillor of Culture for the Regione Toscana (Tuscan Region) will speak in the morning.

In the afternoon, importance will be given to "The practice of doing", to define the possible strategies for development and for consolidation. A round table is planned, to analyse the tools and levers used to activate other art experiences in the hospital setting; in occasion of the project proposed by the Regione Toscana for the construction of four new hospitals, where humanization and environmental aspects will run parallel to the design of the hospitals.

At the end of the conference at 6pm, ten panels inspired by the first book of Pinocchio by Fabio De Poli and made by the children's crèche, Noé in Florence, will be presented.

How to participate.
Registration is necessary and should be completed via the web at www.meyer.it/interferenze
There will be a coffee break at the opening (9am) and closing (6pm) of the conference, offered by the Meyer Foundation

The experience of the Meyer Hospital.
The Paediatric Hospital of Florence, within the context of Meyer Art, a project desired and supported by the Meyer Foundation, houses works of art by artists such as Esther Albardanè, Altan, Dario Bartolini, Carlo Cantini, Sara Carlini, Fabio De Poli, Francesco Fagnani, Gianni Fanello, Sophie Fatus, Paolo Favi, Simone Frasca, Paolo Guidotti, Janet Mullarney, Daniele Nannini, Giovanni Pecchioli, Peppe Perone, Andrea Rauch (Artistic Director), Guido Scarabattolo and Sergio Traquandi.

Easy ways to make profits: some good ideas

If you search a good response to the popular question "Easy ways to make profits", then you can use these business ideas:

Why not to ask experts to speak at your teleseminar? The speaker often seeks to place their products for sale. That may be sufficient for their time and fee. If you have approval, you may record that seminar for later use. Possibly to be used as a bonus if with good content. At the beginning, it may be required to give the large share of fees collected from attendees to the speaker.

You ask recognized experts to speak at your mastermind event. A mastermind event is people getting together brainstorming and sharing ideas. Since there is a sharing, best to do some work in advance to make sure all are qualified and able to contribute. Not a place for wallflowers or only listeners. An active flow is required. An excellent thing for archiving but, again, it requires approval from all contributing.

You can find a good location and ask speakers and experts to speak at the seminar. . A teleseminar is manly were people sit and listen to a bunch of speakers. They sometimes take questions at the end. You could also give them the first chance to promote the seminar for a big percentage of the profits. You could also record it a sell it as a audio or video.

You ask coaches and experts to help at your workshop. A workshop is mainly getting one-on-one, how-to help. This is like the seminar approach. Since it involves more direct contact, the audience may be smaller.

A larger fee would be charged too. A bit harder to sell after-the-fact items since it is usually more visual. A video would be best but requires a considerable outlay for you. Definitely get approval from the speaker!

The Board of Directors of Mediaset, met today under the Chairmanship of Fedele
Confalonieri, to approve the company’s quarterly report to 30 September 2009.
Also during the third quarter of this year the Group’s results continued to be affected,
particularly in Spain, by the deep recession in the world economy. A generalised
difficulty that has led to a marked fall in advertising investments in the two countries in
which the Mediaset Group operates.
In this context, the Group in Italy was nevertheless able to contain the fall in
advertising revenues compared with its competitors, while consolidating its market
share. In terms of ratings, leadership was confirmed in the commercial target of
reference and the absolute primacy of Canale 5 across the entire TV audience in the
current autumn guarantee period.
Moreover, strenuous efforts to control TV costs and the excellent performance of
Mediaset Premium have made it possible to significantly mitigate, above all in Italy,
the negative impact on margins created by the reduction in advertising revenue.

MEDIASET GROUP: CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Performance in the first nine months of 2009 can be summarised as follows:
• the Mediaset Group’s consolidated net revenues amounted to €2,652.1 million a
reduction of 11.4% on the €2,993.9 million of the first nine months of 2008.
• the Group’s EBIT came to €380.9 million, compared with €705.2 million in the first
nine months of the previous year.
• operating profitability was 14.4%, compared with 23.6% in the first nine months
of 2008.
• profit before taxation and that attributable to third-party shareholders, amounted
to €329,4 million compared with €609.0 million to 30 September 2008.
• net profit attributable to the Group came to €184.2 million, compared with the
€355.8 million of the first nine months of the previous year.
• the Group’s net financial position went from -€1,371.7 million on 31 December
2008 to -€1,601.5 million on 30 September 2009.
• in the first nine months of the year net cash generation amounted to €300.3
million compared with €548.4 million in the first nine months of the previous year.
It should be noted that, following the partnership agreement finalised on 30 June 2009 between RTI SpA and the
private equity fund 21 Partner, the Mediaset Group’s stake in Medusa Cinema SpA and Mesusa Multicinema SpA
(businesses that in the first nine months of 2008 generated revenues of €35.6 million) has gone from 100% to 49%.
Consequently the consolidated financial statements, both for the first half of 2008 and the first half of 2009 have
been reclassified to show separately the contribution of these businesses and the economic impact of the
operation.
A BREAKDOWN OF RESULTS BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA
Italy
• In the first nine months of 2009 consolidated net revenues amounted to
€2,220.7 million, a fall of 1.7% on the €2,259.5 million of the same period of the
previous year. In the third quarter revenues grew by 2.5% thanks to the excellent
performance of Mediaset Premium and a combination of other non-television
activities (including Mediashopping and film distribution).
gross television advertising revenues came to €1,823.0 million, a fall of 10.8%
on the €2.043,2 million of the first nine months of 2008. This result highlights the
progressive improvement achieved during the second and third quarters. In
particular, in the third quarter revenues recorded a more limited fall of -7%.
3
According to Nielsen data for the first nine months of the year, the trend in
advertising sales for Mediaset channels was markedly better that the overall trend
in the advertising market as a whole (-18.4%) and the television advertising
market (-17.4%), both net of Mediaset’s contribution.
Mediaset Premium revenues: total revenues generated by Mediaset Premium
came to €379.9 million, compared with €269.5 million in the first nine months of
2008 (+41.0%). Revenues from the characteristic business (sale of cards,
recharges and Easy Pay) were up by 63.6%.
Active cards as of 30 September 2009 totalled around 2.9 million, compared with
around 2.5 million in the same period of the previous year. A more than brilliant
achievement, given that by 30 June 2009 more than 2 million Premium cards has
expired.
• EBIT came to €298.4 million, compared with the €380.9 million of the first nine
months of 2008, a reduction of 21.7%.
• Total television costs were down by 3.7% compared with the first nine months of
2008. In the third quarter there was a reduction of 5.9% compared with the same
period of last year. This result confirms the scrupulous efficiency policy that
reduces costs without having a negative impact of the appeal of the schedule or
on the ratings of the Mediaset channels.
• net profit amounted to €156.0 million, compared with €248.5 million for the same
period of the previous year.
TV ratings: in the first nine months of the year Mediaset channels confirmed their
national leadership in all the time bands among viewers in the 15 to 64 year-old age
range (the commercial target). During the period, Mediaset recorded a 41.4% share
in prime time and 41.6% in the 24 hours.
Canale 5 is Italy’s most popular channel in the commercial target, both in prime time
(23.5%) and in the 24 hours (22.3%). And at 20.8%, the channel confirmed its
position as the leading channel in the 24 hours during the guarantee period (6
September – 9 November 2009).
Spagna
• In the first nine months of 2009 consolidated net revenues generated by the
Telecinco Group came to €432,2 million, compared with €734.9 million in the
same period of the previous year. This result was obviously due to the impact of
the unfavourable trading and financial climate, at both a national and international
level, which in Spain has been particularly dramatic.
• Despite this difficult background, there was a reduction in total costs of 14.8%
compared with the same period of the previous year. This trend was also affected
by the use of risk provisions booked in the first half of the year. Net of these
4
measures, the reduction was of 7.8%, thanks to rigorous actions aimed at
containing both scheduling and management costs.
• EBIT for the period came to €82.5 million, compared to €324.3 million in 2008.
• Operating profitability was 19.1% (44.1% in the first nine months of 2008).
• Pre-tax profit came to €58.5 million, compared with €292.4 million the previous
year.
• Net profit amounted to €62,2 million compared with €228.4 million for the first
nine months of 2008.
• TV ratings: Telecinco consolidated its position as Spain’s absolute leader with a
prime time share of 16.8%.
5
FORECAST FOR THE FULL YEAR
Despite what is expected to be a slight improvement in the short term, the economic
scenario, as far as advertising investments are concerned in both Italy and Spain, is
expected to remain extremely difficult for the remainder of the year.
In Italy, at the end of the first ten months of the year, gross advertising revenues for
Mediaset channels had recorded a fall of 10.2%, compared with the -10.8% recorded
at the end of nine months.
In the same period, total advertising sales, in other words including other media sold in
concession by the Group, recorded a fall of 9.6% (-10.3% after nine months).
In line with the trends recorded in the second and third quarters, current evidence
suggests that advertising sales in the last two months of 2009, which will be compared
to the most critical period of the previous year, will continue to show an improving
trend compared with the previous nine months of the year.
In the light of such trends, the results at the end of the first nine months, despite
continued efforts to control television costs in recent months, at year end the Group is
expected to post operating and consolidated net profits markedly lower than those of
the previous year.
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.

People form an impression of your business, and whether or not they will do business with you, within 30 seconds. If your website meets one or more of the following points
(below), your web site needs an urgent overhaul:

- Your web site address is of the "fr.e.e variety" and is extra long

- Your site starts with the words "Please bookmark our site"

- Your hit counter is of the fr.e.e variety and after one year reads "You are the 27th visitor to this site."

- You don't have a way to analyze your web site traffic and determine where your traffic is coming from

The secret is:

"To make sales and profits, you've got to earn people's trust, and this starts with giving them lots of ways to believe you".

If you've had your web site online for a year and not made one dollar, then you need to reassess what you are doing.

Ultirx / THE BEST high speed multipurpose vertical machining centre

ULTRIX

The workpiece : Tyre moulds
Manufacturing moulds for producing tyre sidewalls is a complex process which includes intense grinding as well as precise finishing operations.

Who drives a vehicle is very familiar with tyres or at least should be. Tyres are in fact a crucial element when talking about vehicle safety. The correct type of tyre, the right pressure and moderate wear in tread ensure that the vehicle maintains ideal road holding performance in whatever gear.
Today’s tyres consist of two main parts: a rubber covering with tread which comes into contact with the road surface and a shoulder/sidewall forming the side of the tyre. This part extends from the road surface to the rim and in modern tyres it has another important feature as it acts as an air seal with the rim.
The sidewall is that part of the tyre visible to drivers, in fact tyre specifications are moulded into this part and include a unified code for identifying the type of tyre (for example to be mounted on a car or on a truck), tread width in millimetres, the ratio between height and width, the carcass, radial or cross-ply, rim diameter, speed and maximum allowable weights. The tyre manufacturer name is also moulded into the sidewall as well as other logos, trademarks or wording which vary from tyre to tyre.

The workpiece
Tyres consist of specific polymer rubber mixes which are specifically developed for moulding processes. In this article we are going to look at the mould used for producing tyre sidewalls.
The mould itself is manufactured from a piece of steel which is machined and milled to obtain a high-quality surface finish respecting product tolerance margins and surface texture.
At this point the mould is engraved - in negative - with all the required wording, logos, trademarks which are then visible on the tyre when mounted to the vehicle.

The machine
The machine utilised to obtain this mould is an Ultrix 800 RT designed and developed by Breton located in Treviso, Italy. The Ultrix machine is part of a range of machining and milling centres this Italian company offers. Machines designed and developed considering the specific requirements of today’s mould manufacturing industry.
The Ultrix 800 RT is a multipurpose machining and milling centre with a vertical spindle and five continuous axes, a tilting turntable, moving cross beam and gantry structure.
The table rotates around axis C and reaches up to 50 rpm when milling and 1,000 rpm when turning. Tilting axis A can reach up to 100 rpm. The linear axes operate at a speed of 60 m/min.
Ultrix is a multipurpose machine offering different machining options turning, milling, boring and grinding and without having to reposition the workpiece on another tool machine.
The vertical design of the Breton work centre is ideal for machining large diameter pieces such as moulds for producing tyre sidewalls.
Ultrix can turn the piece in vertical or horizontal and with axis A tilting. Thanks to a turning bar on the side of the ram the machine acquires an additional 150 mm in vertical travel allowing this machining centre to turn the outer face of workpieces which have heights greater than vertical travel of the machine. This feature allows the user to fit shorter tools resulting in a reduction in overhang and in the use of vibration damper bars except for intense machining operations and when very hard and resistant materials are being machined.
Ultrix can be fitted with a lathe / milling spindle allowing the lathe tool to be moved into different positions, this centre can machine the workpiece vertically and then horizontally optimising machining operations and tools, and when operating in diagonal can machine workpieces up to 1,000 mm regardless of the maximum diameter of the machine which is 800 mm.
Ultrix 800 RT is fitted with a tool magazine which can hold 30-60-150 tools. A numerous choice of lathe and milling spindles are available. Milling spindles S6/S1 40/40 kW (M100/18) S1 torque 100 Nm with a speed of 18,000 rpm or 28/20 kW (M38/28) S1 torque 38 Nm with a speed of 28,000 rpm or 55/40 Kw (M16/40) S1 torque 16 Nm and with a speed of 40,000 rpm.
The lathe spindle M1000/08 in S1 has a power of 30 kW and 1,000 Nm torque and a speed of up to 1000 rpm.
The PC architecture which adopts a windows user interface for the numerical control of the Breton machining centre allows the operator to interface the machine with the company intranet system and with a remote network. Regarding numerical control both the machining programs developed in CAM as well as the information concerning the tools to use defined by Tool Room, can be uploaded to the machine and thanks to the possibility of interfacing with the company’s intranet system and with a remote network, it is possible to run machine checks, adjustments etc. in real time through the remote diagnosis feature maximising machine efficiency and performance. Machining operations can be run in automatic ensuring milling quality thanks to specific check cycles which control workpiece dimensions during operations. In fact the machine detects the true dimension and the workpiece is finished to the required tolerances satisfying specifications. This feature enhances the capacity and efficiency of the Ultrix multipurpose milling centre transforming it also into a measuring centre.
In addition to the 800 RT model this range also includes the 800 4-axis model, Ultrix 1000, 1000 RT and 1000 RT HD all of which with a lathe diameter of 1,000 mm with 4 or 5 axes.

Work Cycle
Creating a tyre sidewall mould combines all the features of a modern tool machine: the first stage is intense grinding and turning to remove residual metal on the steel workpiece. As intense machining is required at this stage in the process, the spindle has to deliver enough power and a torque of up to 1,000 Nm. After having removed the unwanted metal the next stage is to rough finish and then finish the workpiece leaving it with the required surface texture and dimensions. At this stage the bottom of the mould is accurately and precisely finished as it is this part of the mould which will create the external part of the sidewall. The possibility of turning whilst the table tilts - axis A is interpolated with linear axes X and Y - results in achieving the required quality minimising machining times. However, there is still more to the work cycle: at this point small sized tools are now fitted which are 2 mm diameter chisels that work at a speed of 40,000 rpm. These chisels are used for engraving at very high speeds wording, logos, trademarks etc. and remove material without leaving burrs or rough edges which could damage the surface finish of the workpiece.

Added value
Ultrix 800 RT is designed to machine small and variable batches of workpieces satisfying the demands of the mould manufacturing industry. Ultrix is the ideal solution for this type of production requirement.
The Breton work centre combines in one machine all the necessary machining operations for removing material: milling, turning, boring and when needed grinding.
The flexibility and versatility of Ultrix does not finish here: the selection of heads and spindles supplied with the machine are ideal for intense rough milling as well as for delicate and precise high-speed finishing operations.
The various functions Ultrix offers provide considerable reductions in processing times: an example is the work cycle described in this article. By combining lathe operations with table tilting, mould profiling is completed in one run without having to resort to other machining processes to ensure a quality finish.
The added value that Ultrix 800 RT offers the mould manufacturing industry for tyres is the possibility of dealing with a complex process consisting of various and different stages with just one machine and without having to reposition the workpiece achieving a complete finished piece without downtimes and errors due to repositioning operations on other machines.
To conclude manufacturing a mould has become, regardless of the complex processes, a “short” work cycle managed by one machining centre efficiently and economically.

27 international artists will exhibit their artwork from 3-9 November 2009 at the Grand Palais in Paris, in the event Art en Capital, at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants, which was founded in 1884 by artists such as Cézanne, Gauguin, Toulouse Lautrec, Pissarro.

OpenArtCode is made up of a group of talented artists who have very different technical styles and a varied artistic formation. They have united their talents in the past to exhibit together in Italy, Monte-Carlo, Mexico and last year at the Grand Palais under the umbrella of Passion for Life. To coincide with the exhibition in Paris this year, some OpenArtCode artists will also be exhibiting at GemlucART in Monaco (Auditorium Ranieri III, 22 October - 6 November ).

The strong relationship of this group of artists has been consolidated in the various international exhibitions in which they have participated together, making it possible to continue to organize this exhibition and other prestigious events in the future. The common goal of exhibiting their art in important locations, often with a charitable incentive, has cemented them all as a group and the difference of language, culture and above all of expressive technique only go to highlight the quality of each of these artists in the group context.

The OpenArtCodeParis catalogue will be available, not only of course at the Grand Palais, but also at major museum and international exhibition bookshops, such as the Uffizi Gallery in Florence or the Biennale Gardens bookshop in Venice. On Thursday 5 November at 7pm the OpenArtCode catalogue will be presented at the gallery, Le Scribe L'Harmattan, Place Maubert rue Frederic Sauton 19 in Paris. It will also be possible to order the catalogue through the website www.openartcodeparis.com

The artists participating in OpenArtCodeParis are: Barbara Alcalde, Marely Becerra, Figen Begen, Leon Bosboom, Mary Brilli, Brenda Charles, Emilie Cummings, Marybel Gallegos, Shirley Garcia Cipullo, Enrique Garcia Saucedo, Marina Gavazzi, Juan Carlos Granados, Guti, Sumio Inoue, Betty Jonker, Margaret Karapetian, Margaret LaBounty, Roy Lawaetz, Sina Lee, Arianna Luporini, Lina Moretti Nesticò, Catalina Ochoa, Marieta Reijerkerk, Naomi Sheed, Carlo Vitali, Karel Vreeburg, Amanda Ward Thomas.

Private Excursions and Tours in Italy, Rome, Tuscany, Florence….

Prestige Rent organizes private excursions , transfers and tours using comfortable cars and vans with drivers, every day of the year in any and every place in Italy.

If you are planning a visit to Italy, surely you want to design your trip in such a way as to dedicate your vacation to discovering the most beautiful and characteristic places and areas of this country, like Florence, Venice, Rome, the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii…

Which solution would you use to discover the beauty of Italy in absolute tranquility and relaxation and at the same time in maximum comfort?
Prestige Rent has the answer - an agency in Florence, specialized in private tours and excursions with guided visits to all places in Italy, putting at your disposal comfortable vehicles, guaranteed for their safety, with private drivers who can competently bring you wherever you’d like to go for the duration of your vacation in Italy.

What are the advantages?

• Personalize on the spot, at the moment of your excursion deciding for example, with complete flexibility, to lengthen your stay in a town that you particularly like or to drive to a place of your choice using a panoramic, secondary road instead of the highway.
• The driver, besides speaking your own language fluently, is also able to help you visit places not merely as a tourist, but as a local, giving you suggestions for typical restaurants where you can taste wonderful Italian food, or offer you the possibility to enjoy shopping at famous, Italian designer outlets, like Gucci and Prada.
• For guests with limited mobility, with Prestige Rent you will have the possibility to access all places, even the pedestrian zones of the cities that are normally closed to traffic and only accessible on foot.

Besides experiencing a different and unique way of visiting Italy, you will also have the possibility of maximizing your time in order to not waste a moment in getting to discover and know this wonderful country.
For instance if you arrive at the Rome airport in the morning and you are embarking on a cruise of the Mediterranean from Civitavecchia or Livorno in the evening, what better occasion to visit the Vatican Museums and Roman monuments besides other places that are found along the drive that you must take to reach your ship?
Prestige Rent’s driver will take special care to accompany you on your transfer, helping you to avoid stress, problems with luggage, and above all making sure that you can have fun and relax.

At this point you are probably saying to yourself, “A personalized tour in Italy is really interesting but…how much will it cost?”
Much less than you can imagine, keeping in mind that you would have about 35% more time compared to a normal organized tour, because of the absolute flexibility of our service compared to a bus tour.
Buses in fact need to park far from the historic centers, forcing tourists to walk to the center while wasting a large amount of time and energy.
To have an idea of how competitive our prices are, try asking for example your cruise line for the prices of the private shore excursions they offer. If their prices are less than ours, Prestige Rent…..will offer your tour free of charge!

Beike Biotech Adds International Executives to Strengthen Current Technologies and Develop Future Pipeline

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Shenzhen Beike Biotechnology Co. Ltd. (www.beikebiotech.com), a leader in stem cell research and regenerative medicine, announced the appointment of two senior stem cell scientists to key positions in the company. Li Tao, Ph.D., joins as Lab Director of the iPS (induced Pluripotent Stem Cell) Laboratory, and Susan Jiang, M.D., Ph.D., has been named Chief Science Officer. Dr. Sean Hu, Ph.D., CEO and Chairman, will remain focused on furthering the company's research achievements while strengthening its position in the international biotechnology field.

Dr. Hu commented, "Beike has been at the forefront of stem cell technology in China and we are currently expanding throughout Asia. We are addressing a number of important factors to strengthen our credentials internationally, and we see Dr. Li Tao and Dr. Susan Jiang contributing greatly to this effort. Dr. Jiang will spearhead our initiatives to enhance our current technologies and increase their acceptance by the Western scientific community while Dr. Tao will lead a group developing a pipeline of emerging technologies for the coming five to ten years."
Dr. Tao comes to Beike with over 20 years of research experience in genetics, epigenetics, cell and stem cell biology, molecular biology, cancer biology and protein chemistry. He was most recently a senior research scientist at Stanford University's School of Medicine. During his six years at Stanford, he authored or co-authored 22 papers in peer-reviewed journals including Science, Human Molecular Genetics, Cancer Research and Genomics. Before Stanford, he earned his Ph.D. at Tokyo University and spent nine years in Japan working on genetics and genetic engineering, publishing articles in 16 international, peer-reviewed, journals.

Dr. Hu stated, "Dr. Li Tao has considerable experience and has also shown his ability to consistently publish innovative research. We will look to his strong leadership skills when directing the research and development work of our iPS laboratory. This is a young field; his experience in senior roles in Japan and the U.S. is a great asset to our goal of being at the cutting-edge of research." With nine full-time researchers, the iPS lab's main focus is the safe manufacture of iPS cells for insulin production.

Dr. Susan Jiang began her career path as a physician in the field of otorhinolaryngology, specializing in head and neck (ENT-HN) surgery. After receiving her Ph.D. in China, she completed post-doctoral work in the Department of Physiology Biophysics at the University of Arkansas in 2002. In 2005, Dr. Jiang moved to the Pediatrics Department of Stanford University where she investigated the therapeutic potential of stem cells in neo-natal respiratory diseases and developed wound healing models based on stem cell technologies. After nearly three years at Stanford, she became Scientific Director at Escape Therapeutics in the U.S., managing their science team as they developed products based on genetically engineered human stem cells and beta cells for diabetic-related disorders.

Dr. Hu expressed his excitement over the recruitment of Susan Jiang: "Dr. Jiang's international clinical and laboratory experience gives her the right background to help us validate our current technologies internationally. She will also take on task of refining our stem cell cultivation processes and advancing the clinical development of our treatment protocols,"
Dr. Jiang added, "I decided to come back to China because of the nurturing research environment, where the government has consistently provided a supportive and practical regulatory framework with generous access to funding. I regard Beike as ideally situated to reap the benefits of this fertile environment because of its focus both on current clinical technologies and cutting edge research."
