In a Facebook post last Friday, Cellucor unveiled the innovative brand’s newest weight-loss product, CLK. Cellucor CLK will launch at the GNC Convention June 24, 2012 and is Cellucor’s second Chrome-Series launch this year—Super HD, now the number one selling fat burner on the market, launched in January.
CLK is a non-stimulant weight loss aid that features clinical doses of four of the most highly regarded, highly publicized and highly effective ingredients on the market today—CLA (Conjugated linoleic acid), Raspberry Ketones, 7-Keto and Carnitine. CLK features an innovative softgel delivery system enhanced with a sweet raspberry flavor.
“CLK features four ingredients, doses fully disclosed, at optimal doses in one convenient, easy-to-take softgel” said Cellucor Brand Director, Daniel Lourenco. “Beginning with Super HD earlier this year, we’ve been re-innovating our weight loss line, one by one, to stay ahead of the curve—we will always be the brand that delivers the latest and greatest, always.”
According to Cellucor, CLK is just the beginning of what’s shaping up to be a huge summer season for the brand. CLK is the first of four upcoming product launches to be unveiled on Cellucor’s Facebook in the coming weeks, and fans couldn’t be happier, filling the company’s timeline with accolades, guesses, and of course, requests.
“I’ve seen a lot of our fans asking for [BCAAs] on our social media sites…” said a grinning Lourenco when asked about the BCAA category. “You never know what we’re working on, stay tuned!”
For now Cellucor fans can look for CLK to hit shelves late-June 2012 with the official launch set for the GNC Convention, June 24th.
Cellucor products can be found at GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Bodybuilding.com, and select retailers internationally. For more information and updates on the CLK launch, product giveaways and more, visit cellucor.com and Cellucor on Facebook.


Welcome to Osceola Dragway
Osceola Thunder Division Pro-Am Event Scheduled for September 12-14, 2008 Delayed due to Weather.
The Northern Indiana weekend forecast is for rain, rain and more rain. Osceola Dragway track manager Tim Medich, who has been following the weather patterns all week, looked at the 40 to 70 percent chance of rain forecasted from Friday through Monday, decided along with IHRA division director Joel Thompson to postpone this weekend’s scheduled Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am event.
“The crew at Osceola has been working all year to make dramatic improvements to their facility,” Thompson said. “With the track being a daytime facility we thought it was in the best interest of all to not take a chance and reschedule this weekend’s event. With the continued high cost of travel this is the best decision for our competitors in the region.”
The rescheduled date will be posted on ihra.com as soon as it is finalized
** From IHRA website.
Regular Friday night Test and Tune will be ran as scheduled. There will be a Sunday ET Bracket race, weather permitting.

International Jazz Day 10th Anniversary Celebration: All-Star Global Concert
INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY
30 APRIL 2021
As the great Nina Simone said, “Jazz is not just music, it is a way of life, it is a way of being, a way of thinking”. The story of Jazz is written into the quest for human dignity, democracy and civil rights. It has given strength to the struggle against discrimination and racism.
The International Jazz Day is intended to raise awareness of the virtues of jazz as an educational tool, and a force for empathy, dialogue and enhanced cooperation among people. Many governments, civil society organizations, educational institutions, and private citizens currently engaged in the promotion of jazz music will embrace the opportunity to foster greater appreciation not only for the music but also for the contribution it can make to building more inclusive societies.
The 10th Anniversary of International Jazz Day, the world’s largest annual celebration of jazz, will take place on April 30th, with thousands of worldwide programs culminating in a spectacular All-Star Global Concert from New York, Los Angeles, UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, Cape Town, Moscow, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and other cities around the globe. Hosted by multi-Academy Award winner Michael Douglas from United Nations Headquarters in New York, the Global Concert will feature performances from an array of jazz icons representing more than 20 countries.
The 2021 All-Star Global Concert will thrill audiences with an historic lineup of performances by some of the world’s greatest jazz masters.
Herbie Hancock will serve as Artistic Director, and John Beasley will serve as Musical Director.
In New York, artists including Melissa Aldana (Chile), Massimo Biolcati (Italy), A Bu (China), Cyrus Chestnut, Amina Figarova (Azerbaijan), Roberta Gambarini (Italy), Kenny Garrett, James Genus, Stefon Harris, Ingrid Jensen (Canada), Joe Lovano, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Antonio Sánchez (Mexico) and Veronica Swift will deliver a rousing series of performances.
In Los Angeles, Herbie Hancock will be joined by Alex Acuña (Peru), Justo Almario (Colombia), Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jonathan Butler (South Africa), Mahmoud Chouki (Morocco), Gerald Clayton, Andra Day, Romero Lubambo (Brazil), Marcus Miller, Dianne Reeves, Francisco Torres (Mexico), Justin Tyson and Ben Williams.
Leading performances from their home countries will be Igor Butman in Moscow (Russia), Jacob Collier in London (United Kingdom), Mandisi Dyantyis in Cape Town (South Africa), Ivan Lins in Rio De Janeiro (Brazil), John McLaughlin in Monaco, James Morrison in Mt. Gambier (Australia) and Junko Onishi in Tokyo (Japan), among others. Renowned Beninese vocalist Angélique Kidjo will contribute a special performance from UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. The concert will be presented as a live webcast via YouTube, Facebook, jazzday.com, UN Web TV, UNESCO and U.S. State Department outlets.


London, UK, 20 July 2012 – Deputy Mayor Kit Malthouse has been handed the keys to five hydrogen fuel cell powered taxis provided by the HyTEC (Hydrogen Transport for European Cities) project. The taxis will be used to transport VIPs in London during the Olympic Games period, and will be fuelled at Air Products’ new hydrogen fuelling station at Heathrow airport.
The pioneering fleet of fuel cell taxis have been developed by the UK power technology company Intelligent Energy, who provided the fuel cell systems for the vehicle power-train, and The London Taxi Company, who build and supply the iconic London black cab. They are ready to start transporting visiting dignitaries and the VIP guests of the Greater London Authority during the period of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Fuel cell electric vehicles, fuelled by hydrogen provide the same range, performance and fuelling time as conventional internal combustion engine vehicles with the added benefit of zero emissions at the point of use.
A new Air Products hydrogen fuelling station, that will be used to fuel the taxis as they transport VIPs to and from the Games, will shortly be opened at Heathrow Airport in an exciting addition to the developing London hydrogen network. This new station will connect up with the fuelling station already in operation in the city, supporting London’s hydrogen bus fleet and adding to the vital infrastructure powering hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles across the UK. The vehicles and refuelling site form part of the Mayor’s vision to promote innovative zero and low emission technologies in the capital to clean London’s air and tackle pollution. London already boasts the UK’s only zero-emission bus route running with a fleet of five hydrogen buses.
Kit Malthouse, Deputy Mayor for Business and Enterprise (Chair of the London Hydrogen Partnership): “London’s hydrogen economy is bounding ahead. The HYTEC project has been a terrific success, and it provides great lessons for others to get ahead in the most exciting new industry of the 21st Century.”
Diana Raine, HyTEC Project Coordinator and European Business Manager, Hydrogen Energy Systems at Air Products said: “We are delighted that the HyTEC consortium will soon be opening the new hydrogen fuelling station at Heathrow airport and have unveiled the black cabs that are going to transport VIPs during the Olympic Games. The success of the HyTEC project is an essential step in creating a zero emission hydrogen transport infrastructure in London.”
Taxi driver Phil Davis, with over 30 years experience of driving conventional London taxis commented: “This is a great opportunity to drive a hydrogen fuel cell powered taxi around London. It drives very well, and is quiet to drive with no polluting emissions from the exhaust – all that comes out is pure water! With the fuelling stations being put in place hopefully more people will have the opportunity to ride in a hydrogen fuel cell powered taxi.”
This industry-led project utilises the hydrogen transport experience and knowledge of 16 companies at the forefront of development of hydrogen technology and infrastructure. In an effort to understand the best methods for rolling out hydrogen transport in European cities, this international initiative will also install a network of fuelling stations will also be deployed in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Nicola Long, tel: +44 (0) 1932 249 532;
The HyTEC project is a partnership between two cities – London and Copenhagen. Both cities have taken political decisions to be early adopters of hydrogen technology and will work together in a pan-European partnership to implement this vision.
There are 16 Members of the HyTEC consortium from five different countries in Europe:

Families in Tarrant walked away with a bag full of free books to read this summer at Family Literacy Night at Tarrant Elementary.
Lots of free books were up for grabs, including ones to help families of children who are learning English as a second language.
Parents were also given skills to keep their kids reading throughout the summer to prevent reading loss.
“I don’t want to stop reading!” said Ebony Hubbard’s son. “Exactly! We don’t want to stop reading, so I like that the program continues their journey on reading and learning, and being excited," said Hubbard.
“Last year, I had veteran teachers of 20 years standing in the middle of the lunchroom with tears in their eyes because it was such a powerful moment,” said UAB Assistant Professor Dr. Kelly Hill.
Ninety students are enrolled in this summer program, which is a partnership between UAB and Tarrant City Schools, funded by a national professional development grant.

Welcoming a new member into the family is an incredibly joyous occasion, and as parents, we often find ourselves wanting to freeze those precious moments in time. One way to cherish and immortalize the early stages of your baby's life is through professional photography. But, when is the ideal time to schedule a photoshoot for your little one?
In this blog, we'll explore the best ages for capturing those adorable moments that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
Newborn Photography (0-2 weeks)
The first few weeks of your baby's life are truly magical. Newborns are delicate, sleepy, and have that irresistibly tiny demeanor. Professional photographers specializing in newborn photography excel at capturing the pure innocence and fragility of your newborn during this brief window. From those tiny fingers and toes to the peaceful sleeping poses, these early days provide a unique opportunity to freeze time.
Three to Four Months:
Around the three to four-month mark, your baby starts to develop more neck strength and begins displaying their unique personality. During this age range, capturing those first smiles, giggles, and wide-eyed expressions becomes easier. Your baby is likely to be more interactive and alert, resulting in charming photographs that showcase their developing character.
Six to Nine Months:
As your baby reaches the six to nine-month milestone, they are often able to sit up unassisted. This newfound ability opens up a whole new world of posing possibilities for professional photographers. The sitting phase allows for creative and dynamic shots, capturing the curiosity and exploration that defines this stage of infancy.
First Birthday (12 months):
Celebrating your baby's first birthday is a monumental occasion, and a photoshoot during this time captures the essence of this joyous milestone. From the classic cake smash sessions to capturing those tentative first steps, a first birthday photoshoot serves as a beautiful way to document the transition from babyhood to toddlerhood.
Toddlerhood (18-24 months):
As your baby transitions into toddlerhood, their personality continues to shine through. Toddler photoshoots often involve a mix of candid shots and planned activities to showcase their developing interests and budding independence. From exploring the outdoors to capturing their genuine expressions, this age range offers a delightful mix of spontaneity and charm.
Choosing the best ages for professional baby photos depends on the unique qualities of each stage in your little one's development. Whether you opt for the serene moments of newborn photography or the dynamic expressions of toddlerhood, investing in professional photos at various stages allows you to create a visual narrative of your baby's growth. These timeless images will undoubtedly become treasured family heirlooms, evoking cherished memories for years to come.
From the delicate days of newbornhood to the dynamic expressions of toddlerhood, MB Photography ensures that each stage is beautifully preserved, creating a visual narrative that becomes a cherished family heirloom for years to come.


Changes in the ownership structure of the Taiwan media have
given rise to self-censorship (Wu 2012), which has gained greater public attention
after the moderate conservative China Times was purchased by Want Want
Holdings. This company is led by a pro-Beijing businessman, and it consequently
adopted a staunchly pro-China editorial stance. The issue of media freedom has
been extensively debated in Hong Kong, as China has exerted influence on
journalists’ reports and analysis. Freedom of expression and of the press have
deteriorated since the transition period, largely as the consequence of journalists’
self-censorship (Zhang 2006) and the change of media ownership (Fung 2007).
The recent firing and life-threatening attack on a famous Ming Pao editor, wellknown
for his critical stance vis-à-vis the HKSAR and Beijing governments, has
raised fears of China’s more direct involvement (Mullany 2014).

GCC sovereign bond yields have been rising moderately in recent months with the pace having gathered momentum over recent weeks (chart 1). The company views that the trend is likely to continue rising in the near term for two key reasons:
Rising US Treasury yields. Higher GCC bond yields, in part, reflect a rise in underlying US Treasury yields. Indeed, investors have started to price in more aggressive interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve (Fed), with 10 year Treasury yields surpassing 3% for the first time since 2014. The company continues to expect the Fed to raise interest rates by another 50bps this year, which will push up underlying US Treasury yields and with it, GCC yields will move up in tandem given the USD pegged exchange rate regimes.
Heightened geopolitical tensions. Higher GCC bond yields are a function of the heightened geopolitical risk premium that is now embedded into markets given the tensions in Syria as well as the prospect of the imposition of Iranian sanctions. Whilst geopolitical speculation seemed to be slowly ebbing out of markets given the relatively muted US coordinated “one-and done” airstrikes in Syria, geopolitics is once again taking the driving seat in propping up oil prices, with the focus now on the Iranian nuclear accord. Their baseline scenario was that President Trump would not sign the nuclear related waiver extension on 12 May – a decision which would either lead to a snap back of statutory sanctions put in place by Congress, and/or other restrictions on individuals or corporates. GCC views that markets haven’t fully priced in Iranian sanction risks given the lack of clarify around the articulation of the size and magnitude of the imposition of sanctions. Despite higher oil prices, there has been a widening of GCC spreads in recent months. This relationship is particularly strong for Saudi Arabia, wherein Saudi spreads over Treasuries have been widening, alongside higher oil prices (chart 2).
Indeed, the precipitous rise in oil prices in recent weeks (now at a three and a half year high), with what appears as a new soft normal of Brent above USD70/b and WTI above USD65/b, is moving in tandem with higher GCC yields. Looking ahead, if we are right in our call for oil prices to drop back as geopolitical risks ebb out of the market, with markets eventually focused back on fundamentals (our thesis remains that markets are caught in oversupply which will lead to a correction in oil prices), then GCC bonds are likely to continue widening.

Tasmania's Multicultural Heritage: North East Chinese Mining Site
Over the last year, a number of sites have been discovered in the State's North East, revealing the lives of Chinese miners in Tasmania.
The 30-year history of one particular mining camp has been slowly revealing its secrets following recent excavations. Records show that Chinese miner Hen Kee held a lease on the mine, which was worked by him and others from 1892 to 1923.
The composite Chinese-European alluvial tin mine has revealed dump sites containing domestic refuse. Items from the Chinese era show soy sauce vessels, ginger jars, whisky bottles, and highly decorated coloured ceramics. A forge has also been unearthed, which is significant in that it shows the transition from Chinese-only mining to an exclusively European operation.
Chinese miners were important in the tin mining of North East Tasmania from the 1870's. The Chinese are known to have been in large numbers on the tin fields of the North East in the late decades of the 19th century. They contributed labour for the tin fields and were accepted as hard working men who lived well in the community.
Most Chinese worked on leases held by Chinese businessmen such as the Argus and Garibaldi mines. Others worked alone on small leases working the creeks with the use of hand-dug water races. The climate in North East Tasmania means that long periods without rain could be expected. When there was no water available the miners improved their water races, worked in their market gardens or walked to the nearest Chinese settlement for sociable entertainment.
The physical evidence of the towns, camps and shops of this once vibrant community have long been a source of interest both to North East residents and the wider community. Unfortunately this interest has often taken the form of random and destructive excavations in order to retrieve examples of Chinese pottery that were in good condition. The two sites recently located are the first found in over 20 years that do not appear to have been disturbed other than by natural processes of decay.
The public interest in the Chinese heritage of Tasmania has the potential to be a significant tourism attraction for the State and North East region.
The Dorset Economic Development Group and Dorset Tourism Board are currently working with the Launceston and Break O'Day councils to develop an interpretive heritage trail, linking the stories of mining and the Chinese heritage in the North East. It is envisaged the TRAIL OF THE TIN DRAGON would follow the historic mining route between Launceston and St Helens.

Legislation puts common sense guidelines around insurance industry practice of “step therapy”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 13, 2023
Today, patient and health care provider groups from across the country applauded the reintroduction of legislation aimed at putting reasonable parameters around the insurance industry protocol known as “step therapy” or “fail first”. The bill (S.652) is sponsored in the Senate by Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Maggie Hassan (D-NH) Doc Marshall (R-KS), Jacky Rosen (D-NV). The House version of the bill is sponsored by Representatives Brad Wenstrup (R-OH-2), Raul Ruiz (D-CA-36), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR-05) Lucy McBath (D-GA-6) Mariannette Miller Meeks (R-IA-2) and Earl Blumenauer (D-OR-03).
“The Safe Step Act” mirrors legislation passed in more than three dozen states across the country. When passed into law the legislation will bring similar patient protections to employer health plans that are regulated on the federal level.
Currently, health plans can require patients to try and fail on one or more medications before the plan will cover the treatment initially selected by the patient and their health care provider. Delays in getting the proper treatment can lead to irreversible disease progression and worsening of a patient’s medical condition.
“NPF applauds Congress for reintroducing the Safe Step Act in the 118th Congress,” says Leah M. Howard, J.D., the President and CEO of the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF). “Step therapy places an enormous barrier between the 8 million people in the U.S. who live with psoriatic disease and the treatments they need. One study found that over 99% of step therapy protocols were more stringent than the treatment guidelines for psoriasis. Unfortunately, the resulting delays in care can lead to more skin area affected by plaques that crack and bleed, causing missed workdays and social isolation. Prolonged systemic inflammation from psoriatic disease can result in irreversible outcomes like joint damage or the development of type 2 diabetes.”
During the 117th Congress, similar legislation had more than 230 co-sponsors in both chambers.
“We hear every day from patients experiencing challenges getting the treatment their doctor has prescribed,” said Steven Taylor, President and CEO of the Arthritis Foundation. “All too often patients are asked to fail on 2, or 3, or even 4 medications before they can get the one originally prescribed, all the while experiencing worsening disease. Further, patients are sometimes asked to step through a drug they’ve already failed on or have to wait weeks before their appeal is reviewed. State legislatures across the country have passed step therapy reform, putting in place common sense solutions to help patients get their medications in a timely manner. It’s time for Congress to do the same.”
The Safe Step Act does not ban the use of step therapy, but instead puts common sense parameters and reasonable timelines around the practice. The legislation will give patients and their doctors a transparent and standardized process to appeal step therapy requirements for patients needing a particular treatment.
“Underserved and minority patients face unique challenges to cardiovascular care and treatment that impact their health outcomes. The ability to access new treatments is often hampered by utilization management processes, such as step therapy, that are put in place by health insurance plans. Physician practices that serve a majority of patients from underserved and minority populations are oftentimes already stretching resources to meet the needs of their patients, making it difficult to devote the time necessary to respond to health plan treatment denials or ‘fail-first’ requirements that may be harmful to patient health and safety. These challenges create unique barriers to care for African American cardiovascular patients and exacerbate existing treatment and health outcome disparities. The Association of Black Cardiologists endorses the Safe Step Act as a reasonable approach that prioritizes patient care and safety,” said Anekwe E. Onwuanyi, MD, President of the Association.
“Pediatric patients with diseases and disorders of the gastrointestinal system and their physicians routinely encounter insurance companies that take a ‘fail first’ approach to therapeutic treatment as a matter of policy. When pediatric gastroenterologists seek re-authorization for a previously approved treatment, it has become commonplace for insurance companies to deny authorization and require the child to switch to another therapy even though they are stable on their existing treatment, said Jenifer Lightdale, MD, President of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. “This practice must stop and is why the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition endorses the Safe Step Act and asks for its passage by Congress.”
“No two patient stories are the same and a one-sized-fits-all treatment plan puts all people at risk. To prevent negative medical consequences, treatment should be recommended and prescribed by medical professionals in collaboration with the patient and not dictated by insurers. For these reasons United Ostomy Associations of America Inc. (UOAA) stands in support of the Safe Step Act” said UOAA President, Cheryl Ory.
“These policies cause real physical and mental pain for our patients, senselessly delaying our ability to provide relief for often debilitating conditions. Treatment decisions belong with patients and their physicians, who understand their conditions best,” said Mark Kaufmann, MD, FAAD, President, American Academy of Dermatology Association.
“Rationing healthcare is never a good thing for patients, especially for patients living with chronic health conditions such as HIV/AIDS. It is especially true for prescription medications. Unfortunately, an increasingly common technique involves private and public healthcare payers requiring step therapy…or step protocol…or fail first requirements. Sadly, such requirements not only undermine the provider-patient relationship, they also have proven to be less cost-effective in the long run,” said Brandon M. Macsata, CEO of the ADAP Advocacy Association.
The “Safe Step Act” is supported by more than 200 patient and provider organizations.

Recently, animal welfare has become an often discussed topic in Madeiran society. The recent changes in the law regarding population control have stressed existing institutions to their limit (both economically, and concerning offered services) and the number of abandoned domestic animals is expected to rise. Small online and offline communities have formed to lend support, but have limited reach to solve the problem.
“Tell a Tail” explores the intersection of transmedia storytelling, education, and mixed reality, by creating digital media content that showcases the problem from the view of several stakeholders, and urges the user to take an active role in the discussion and quest to solve the problem of Madeira’s abandoned animals.
Platform: Android (AR Core compatible smartphones and VR compatible smarphones)
Timespan: September 2018 – expected late 2019
Role: Co-Advisor, Programmer
Advisors: Valentina Nisi, Mara Dionísio and Paulo Bala
Students: Sarah Oliveira and Tânia de Andrade
Tell a Tail: Caminho Incerto (Unknown Path)
Sarah Oliveira’s work is a “choose you own adventure” comic book with AR interactive points. In addition to co-advising, I worked on the foundations of the Unity application using AR Core and Fungus, to make 12 storytelling AR points that complement the information present in the comic book.
Tell a Tail 360
Tânia de Andrade’s work is an interactive 360º VR documentary following the day to day of local kennel and the work of local NGO’s rescuing endangered animals. In addition to co-advising, I worked on the foundations of the Unity application that allows interaction with the remote controller and mixes different types of media (images, video, sound, etc.) in a 360º environment.

Celebrating 100 Years of Fiat
2023 marks the centenary of the introduction of Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino cars to Irish shores.
To mark this special occasion, Classic Fiat Ireland has organised a special club weekend, from the 12th (Friday) – the 14th (Sunday) of May. The Park Hotel in Dungarvan has been selected as the “HQ” for the weekend, with a short run planned on Saturday along the Copper Coast, followed by dinner that evening.
On Sunday (14th) the club will host a gala static display of FIAT cars spanning the last century of the marque’s presence here in Ireland. This display will be held on the grounds of Curraghmore House, Portlaw, Co. Waterford. The Eircode is X91 X598.

Classic Fiat Ireland attend “A Day of Automotive History” organised by Roscommon Sports and Classic Car Club at Strokestown on Sunday 21 August 2022
The day got off to a good start with a pre-show breakfast in Frank’s Bar, Ballybeg, close to the show location – our thanks to local member Enda for organising.
The club was well represented with a total of 14 cars in attendance, ranging from 128 (saloon & 3P), 131 (Sport), 132, 124 Spider, X1/9 (x3), Regata, Cinquecento (x2), Punto (x2) and Fiat Coupe.
Additionally, other FIATs on display, including a stunning FIAT 131 Abarth Stradale finished in striking blue and a miniature masterpiece in the shape of the FIAT Giannini 500 Tv, both owned by a local Italian collector.
This show has gained in popularity, evident in the large turnout at this year’s event. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with the majority of the cars parked well-spaced on the lawn in front of the house. The recently completed National Famine Museum and walled garden were also open to walk through at leisure.
The day finished on a high note for the Club, and in particular, CFI member Dessie Tierney, when his fabulous steel grey FIAT 131 Sport won “Best Classic” of the show……extremely impressive given the high standard and variety of vehicles on display. Congratulations Dessie!
Our thanks to the Roscommon Sports & Classic Car Club for an excellently organised and enjoyable event.

Cut&Paste Show: NYC
March 25, 2009
Video taken by Bob Lynn.
Home to more people than any other place in the US of A, the streets of this sleepless city are thick with eight million people and the eight million dreams that hang in the balance as their lives and livings are made. Caught between the corner bodegas and penthouse lofts, the pulsing nightlife and the daily grind, denizens of the five boroughs learn to grow a thick skin, talk fast, walk faster, and get a little aggressive to get by. Replete with neon signs, uptown finery, plaid-clad hipsters, culture vultures, and sad-faced Wall Street suits of black and blue, New York City—birthplace of Cut&Paste and capital of the world—keeps things colorful. And its designers will take on a challenge anytime, anyplace.
