BRIEF-S&P says Brazil's 'BB' long-term ratings placed on Creditwatch negative on increased political uncertainty
* S&P revises brazil sovereign credit outlook to creditwatch negative from negative; current rating is BB
WASHINGTON Oct 14 President Barack Obama said on Monday it appears there has been progress in Senate fiscal impasse negotiations but that there is a good chance the United States will default on its debts if Republicans are unwilling to set aside some partisan concerns.
Obama emerged from the White House to visit Martha's Table, a charity organization for low-income families where some furloughed government workers have been volunteering.
Obama, who is to meet congressional leaders at the White House at 3 p.m. EDT (1900 GMT), said he would be able to determine at that meeting whether the progress is real toward ending a government shutdown and avoiding a debt default ahead of a Thursday deadline.
"My hope is that a spirit of cooperation will move us forward in the next few hours," Obama said.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22 The U.S. Justice Department on Monday asked a federal judge to reconsider a ruling which blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to cut off federal funding for so-called sanctuary cities.

The new nursery manual is beautiful, simple and easy to use. I love the full color pictures throughout it and bought it to use at home. I've used it for a simple family home evening lesson for my youngest and have adapted it for my older kids.

The House at 173-175 Ward Street in Newton, Massachusetts, is one of the city's few Federal style houses. Built c. 1800, it is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with clapboard siding, and twin rear wall chimneys. The house has a five bay facade with windows framed by narrow moulding. The main entrance is flanked by paired pilasters surrounding sidelight windows, topped by an entablature. The house was built by Charles Hyde, and was involved in property disputes attending the construction of tunnels in the area in the mid-19th century.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]

I've said it before, I'll say it again....Shandra is an amazing stylist. She listens but also knows when to insert her professional opinion, especially when you don't know exactly what you want or how to express what you want. (which is usually the case with me!) She knows how to gently push you to be daring or to try something new, without going over the line.

great hotel. You can never can go wrong with Marriott.
I stayed at this hotel when I had the unfortunate experience of having a flight cancelled. I had been at the airport all day and was tired and grumpy when I arrived at the Courtyard by Marriott Midway Airport. The staff was friendly, efficient and extremely helpful in getting my a few toiletries ...
We had a two night stay. Staff was excellent and food in hotel restaurant was very good. We'd go back there and would recommend it to family and friends. Very good experience.

Amazing authentic Polish food Can't really find places like that in NY ( US) Try their soups...! Service is always great Fast and straight to the point !;)
probably not elegant or trendy food,maybe too rich,but for sure very good...we tried the beef gulash and the beff strogonoff on bread.....warm and soft .....
This is the best Polish food you will ever have! Stick to the authentic Polish dishes as opposed to the specials. Best dishes: - Pierogis - Gwampkies - Potato Pancake with beef - Red cabbage and carrot side dishes are fantastic You cannot go wrong...More
We stopped by here during a food & culture tour of Brooklyn, to sample the Eastern European food offered in this small restaurant. The sausage and onions, carrot salad, pierogi, and apple crepes were all good, and the service was prompt for us. Good stop...More
Want to sample genuine Polish food? Try this small family restaurant tucked away in Brooklyn. Polish beer on tap, as well as common and uncommon dishes. Blood sausage! I'll be back!
The menu has many options and the floor plan has been smartly laid out in a small space to give privacy to couples and have have adequate room in the middle to serve a long table of 27 people. The decor is unique. Service friendly...More
I have eaten in the Ridgewood restaurant so it was suggested to go ground zero and eat in green point ....this place is unbelievable from the food to the service...the pierogi are fresh made the kielbasa is smoked to perfection the pork hocks are tender...More
Hungry for Polish? This stop is highly recommended! The Pierogies and Polish sausage with pickled beets were delish! Highly recommended for a Polish experience in Brooklyn.
We went here as part of a food tour and had a mini-meal (started, main, and dessert). All of the food was excellent, particularly the pirogis and apple pancakes. Definitely worth the visit for something a bit different.
Very popular traditional Polish restaurant in the Polish neighborhood of Green Point, Brooklyn, New York. Large portions, so come hungry. Good selection of eastern European beers. Look around at the other tables; lots of Polish folks come here, which tells you the food is authentic....More

Very easy to use the website. Great prices.
The only downside I found was that when paying, the car hire charges went through but the insurance didn't as a message said that the card was declined. How can this be when I am paying the total amount for both.
I found this quite difficult to understand.
The other problem I had was that the number to call to sort out the insurance started with 0871. I was not very happy when I found out how much it would cost me to ring this number from USA.

Great entertainment to lighten your day.
Back in the time when the Samurai were important, there was a powerful emperor who needed a new chief Samurai, so he sent a declaration throughout the land that he was searching for the very best.
A year passed, and only 3 people showed up for the trials: a Japanese Samurai, a Chinese Samurai and a Jewish Samurai.
The emperor asked the Japanese Samurai to demonstrate why he should be the Chief Samurai.
The Japanese Samurai opened a match box,and out flew a bumblebee. Whoosh! went his razor sharp sword, and the bumblebee dropped dead on the ground in 2 pieces. The emperor exclaimed: "This is most impressive!"

I was the substitute teacher for a second-grade math class that was learning about groups. In one exercise, pupils were asked to label a group of items according to their common characteristics.
Pictured were onion rings, doughnuts, a bundt cake, and ring cookies. The correct answer would have been that all the items have holes in the center.

Cybersalt's funny pictures collection has been years in the making and continues to grow. We are also in the process of moving images over from our old site so check back often.

Some say the world can be divided into two types - cat people and dog people. For the cat people of the planet, Cybersalt has the Funny Cat Archive. For the dog people we have this Funny Dog Pictures archive.
It's dedicated to the memory of Maggie - Pastor Tim and family's dog. The SPCA rescued Maggie from Manitoba's Red River flood in 1996 and brought her to British Columbia where she had two short term owners before becoming a part of the Davis household where she preferred adults over kids, picked and ate fruit from trees in the backyard, and very rarely went into water at the beach.
Over the years, some of the most popular pages on the Cybersalt site have featured Funny Cat Pictures. We have to admit that even though cats often look at humans like they owe the feline world something (remember dogs have owners and cats have staff), cats aren't as bad as a lot of the press that they get.
And so, whether you are a cat lover or tolerator, we hope you enjoy these funny cat pictures. And, of course, if you have any funny cat pictures you want to share with the world, feel free to send them to us to post here.
When Pastor Tim finds (or puts) fun things on the net, he posts them here. If you would like to be updated when new things are added, just subscribe to the Cybersalt Digest Newsletter. Enjoy!

hotel is nice and clean, front desk is efficient and speak good English. walkable to the main shopping area of Dusseldorf and old town
Apartment was great! Comfortable bed, blackout shades, beautiful bathroom and a huge living room combined with a convenient location to provide a perfect stay. Reception staff was super friendly too!
Lovely hotel all staff very friendly & helpful - we have stayed here on 4 other occasions and will be back if ever we are in dusseldorf. Good & plentiful Breakfast 8.00am to 10am - no hassle or rush - highly recommend
Lucked out with finding this one. Close to the train station but yet easy walking to the old town area. VERY clean establishment. Friendly, helpful staff. Substantial breakfast worth the price.
A friendly central Hotel with some parking places and our room (No. 22) was very comfortable. Shower only (no bath, but we never use a bath these days) Possible drawback for some is the fact that there was no lift to the second floor but our bags were all carried up by staff. A fabulous breakfast ...
Staff very helpful. Rooms exceptionally clean. I was in the Harry Potter room which was fun and functional. On business, I came in late and the bar and food were available. Great location near train station. Nespresso machine in room. Even a hair straightener. Would recommend for business and pleasure. ...
Superb bedrooms with very comfortable beds and excellent shower. Great value for money and in a great location. Breakfasts are very good and the hotel is spotlessly clean.

Brixton pubs
Discover the best places to go drinking in Brixton from gastropubs to cocktail bars
Brixton has established a reputation as a great place to enjoy a drink. From the affordable cocktails and buzzy vibe at Lounge to the guest ales and cosy atmosphere at the Prince Regent, take a look at Brixton's best boozers.
Think we've missed out one of Brixton's finest watering holes? Let us know in the comments box below.
White Horse
The White Horse attracts an adult, professional but as-yet-unnested clientele happy to enjoy the generous opening hours. It's all slightly clubby yet laid-back.
Prince Regent
Large airy pubs with an outdoor terrace (even one adjacent to a busy bus route) and plenty of room for pushchairs are always going to be popular in this area.
They seem to have missed most of Brixton and done a review of Herne Hill!
Mango Landin'.
you seem to have missed the Duke Of Edinburgh on Ferndale rd! best pub and huge secret beer garden a good candidate for best London Pub let alone Brixton!
Em yeah Tony D, please keep these places out of Time Out. The property and bar prices have sky rocketed since Brixton Village and the 'groovy feckers' moved in. Let's please keep some things to ourselves! Top Tip - If I were visiting I'd certainly go to Brixton Village and the vegan cup cake shop. Yum yum!
The new place where the Z Bar used to be! Veranda i think its called! brilliant cocktails and classy Caribbean food, and the bar looks really cool, like an artwork
Where's the the Prince Albert? Or the Beehive? Or the Trinity? These are proper Brixton pubs for non groovy feckers. The band nights at the Albert are particularly spot on.
From Fluid Movement, which brought us Purl and the Worship Street Whistling Shop, VOC occupies a smallish, cosy space in one of north London's most restaurant-intensive precincts. The name derives from the Dutch East India Company, and there's a nautical and historical theme to the drinks list. Punches based on old recipes figure large, though modern technology brings them right up to date. Playing it safe with the classics is by no means the inferior option, however, as textbook martinis and caipirinhas proved. It took us a while to get our drinks because of lack of staff behind the tiny bar (barely five feet long), and there's no table service, so you have to queue. But no one seemed to mind. Interestingly, more people were drinking beer or wine than cocktails, at least on our visit. VOC now has a restaurant too, majoring on grilled meat.
Venue says: "New small plates introductory offers: two dishes £9, three dishes £12 and set menu £20 - Nibbles, two dishes, dessert & drink."

I need new color: Rich Chocolates, Cool Reds You're going to see a shift in color this season, especially in brunettes and reds. Color will go from less caramel to deep chocolate, less coppery to cool and slightly spicy crimson. During a color consultation, I like to reference food as a visual. Hot fudge and orange marmalade paint a clearer picture and helps prevent end results that leave you feeling unsatisfied.

Colleen will make sure you feel at home from the moment you arrive; she is super lovely, attentive, kind, and caring. The location was about 10-15 minutes from the centre of Canberra which is really close. Its easy to get to places from the house and, if assistance is needed, Colleen will surely do all thats in her power to help you out :) I would highly recommend staying at her place, and if I go back to Canberra I will surely book her lovely home again!Tanya2017-04-26T00:00:00Z

Lisa is an excellent, caring and involved host. She helped us from the start to the end of the stay. We really appreciated her kindness, helpfulness and excellent updates about Canberra. The house is well located, within easy distance to buses, shops and walks. The view is lovely and the bird life is fun to watch from the front and back windows. We enjoyed comfortable and quiet sleeps, great breakfast food and a good range of utilities for cooking. The place was easy to warm in the cool weather during our visit. Thanks for a most enjoyable stay in Canberra, we'll be staying in touch.Felicity2016-10-04T00:00:00Z

The neighbourhood is residential and quiet, close to shops and a short drive to any of the sights of Canberra. Debbie and Brent are prompt and polite to deal with, including when we were late for the scheduled check-in and they had to wait for us. The house has some lovely decorations to make it really feel like a comfortable home away from home. Highly recommended.Christine2017-01-15T00:00:00Z
Comfy home. Thank you.Kylie2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Had an outstanding experience, staying at William's house. They are very friendly and hospitable. The house and the room was very clean throughout my stay of a week at the place. Got a carport option too, throughout my stay. They are such good hosts, they offered meals, we had long chats and had lots of fun over the weekend. Looking forward to staying at their place on my next visit as well. I rate them 5 on 5.Anup2016-11-23T00:00:00Z
William was a great host, very friendly and welcoming.Ozcan2016-08-25T00:00:00Z
William and his family are wonderful and kind hosts. They are friendly and helpful and make you feel like a part of the family. The apartment is reasonably well located, close to a main road and bus route from Tuggeranong to Woden (where there are connections to the city and other areas).Hayley2017-02-11T00:00:00Z
Met William on arrive and we got on pretty well. Had a good meet and greet, showed me everything, made me feel welcome and then pretty much gave me the keys and I was able to do my own stuff throughout the stay without any problems or issues :)Adrian2016-07-09T00:00:00Z
....wonderful stay, I slept well in Mawson! A warm welcome in a new build house, dinner at "Olive at Mawson" nearby, maybe the best Italian restaurant in Canberra!maria2016-11-08T00:00:00Z

William is a kind and attentive host. I arrived there after 10pm and he warmly welcomed me. The room was very clean and tidy and best efforts were put in place by William to make me feel comfortable. It was a very nice stay at William's.Hamid2016-11-28T00:00:00Z

It was a pleasure staying with Marli. A friend and I were making our way down from Sydney to Jindabyne and this made an ideal midway stop off point. We arrived late and left early, Marli was very accomodating. The house was warm, the beds were comfortable and coffee was provided for our early start the next day, what more could you want! I would definitely stay with Marli again!Nicholas2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

Warm, comfortable family home - very convenient, quiet, suburban area.Damian2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
We felt warmly welcomed at the time we arrived at Marli's place. The house was tidy, our room was well prepared and we were provided with all necessary stuff for a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend staying with her for a short Canberra visit.Anh2016-09-30T00:00:00Z
A lovely place to stay. Recommended for those with transport, about 15 mins from central CanberraKay2017-02-08T00:00:00Z
The room was in a central location with good access to shops and restaurants. The host was exceptionally warm and welcoming, which was nice seeming this was our first airbnb experience. The bed was comfortable (best sleep in a long while) and the bathroom and house in general was spotless and warm. If coming back to Canberra, looking for a place to stay, this will definitely be our first port of call!Mark2016-04-25T00:00:00Z
What a pleasant surprise once we arrived at Marli's beautiful home. After a 7 hour drive and feeling very tired the house lifted our spirits immediately. It was absolutely immaculate, beautifully furnished and the bed so comfortable. Woden shopping centre is only minutes away and parking is available. All in all a lovely experience......kay 2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

Anton is very friendly to talk with us and thanks for his advice, we arrive at very beautiful view to see the whole Canberra (^ー^)ノXiaodan2017-01-24T00:00:00Z
Nathan is a very friendly host. Helped us with late check-in. The place has everything you need. Thanks Nathan for being such a nice hostkhalid2016-03-17T00:00:00Z
We are a couple staying for a night in Canberra as a stop-over of our trip to Sydney. It is hard for us to rate how we like/dislike the place in general. Thus, I will note down the pros & cons, according to our experience. Pros: Great location & Affordable price. Plus, Antonie is a very nice host who you will like very much. Cons: Cleanliness. I have to say my fiancee is quite sensitive to cleanliness. Indeed the house is tidy and clean. However, we found out (with enough evidence) that the bed linen had not been changed, which made us feel quite uncomfortable. In fact, we did not sleep well due to the feeling. Also, the floor had not been vacuumed properly as there was dust in many places. Overall, I believe Antonie will fix these issues and I will still recommend his place as we like him as a host, plus the location of the house is really convenient.Lam2016-10-20T00:00:00Z

Awesome house and very close to where we needed to be for the weekend, Jon has added so many nice touches to the place too. Lots of towels, candles, big TV, good dining room, great kitchen and lots of cleaning stuff in the bathrooms! PS...Jon, you should check the lighting device in the kitchen, it didn't work. Really nice house and really well set up apart from that.Mike2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
The house was great. Jon had put the heating on ready for us to arrive and there were some goodies to get us started. There is room in the back yard for the kids to stretch their legs and huge TV. It was easy to get to and only about 10 mins from the center of town. Jon was very helpful and communicative. Definitely recommend it!Liz2017-04-12T00:00:00Z
I spent almost 2 weeks at Jon's place and couldn't have been happier. The location is great and the house had everything we needed. Jon was very easy to communicate with. I can't recommend this place enough.Vickie2017-04-01T00:00:00Z
Our stay was perfect!! Highly recommend this house!!KATSUHIRO2017-03-13T00:00:00Z
It's the little things that really make a stay great. In this case it was the extra little items in the pantry and fridge that you wouldn't normally think or want to buy on a short trip. Things like the extra hand wash in the kitchen, or the glass cleaner. Big comfortable beds and lots of seating space in the front and back.Christopher2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Katina and her Husband Don were the most wonderful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in their home. Situated in a quiet apartment block this gorgeous 2 bedroom unit is perfect for couples or families with children. There is a well maintained courtyard garden with a deck out the back- complete with a webber grill for use of required. The inside is cozy and homely with clever use of space that made it feel much larger that it sounds. The apartment was IMMACULATE! Everything had its place but we weren't afraid to move things around to stop our baby 'playing' with things. Communication was fantastic and we really appreciated the little things like Katina asking what type of bread and milk we liked. I can't speak highly enough of this property and a HUGE thank you for letting us stay, we will definitely be back!Renae2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

This is my second stay here. Bridget is a wonderful host, warm happy and willing to make any traveller comfortable while staying in her home. I'm doing some fairly long and intense courses in the ACT. It's great to have somewhere so comfortable to chill out after a big day. I would recommend this Airbnb to anyone travelling to the nations capital.Ted2016-12-01T00:00:00Z
The place is very clean and tidy. Bridget is a great host. We always felt at home. Evening chats with Bridget were quite refreshing. Would highly recommend this place.Rajiv2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
Bridget was an excellent host - very friendly and considerate. The room had a comfortable bed, ample sunlight, and plenty of closet space. The rest of the house was quite accommodating, including a large kitchen, washing machine, home office, living room, and easy parking. The neighborhood was quiet, but pretty close to retail areas at Weston Creek and Woden, and of course an easy ~15 minute drive from the city center.John2016-04-28T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Meaghan's was PERFECT! The home is so cosy yet spacious with plenty of room for a group of friends. We loved all the little knick knacks and personal touches - Meaghan has thought of everything a guest might need and gone above and beyond to provide it! The house is in a quiet street that's still super convenient - all four of us slept wonderfully! Thank you Meaghan for all your hospitality - I'd recommend this place to anyone!Estelle2017-03-11T00:00:00Z

Fantastic, comfortable home in a quiet location close to the CBD. Very spacious with well appointed kitchen. The whole house feels very homely and provided plenty of room for 6 people.

Kerrie made us feel welcome and assisted us with our enquiries. She is a friendly host who paid attention to detail and the place was clean and very presentable yet homely. We had the added benefit of a lovely yard and park nearby it was a very enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend it. Thanks Kerrie for a great weekend.

Kerrie's place is easy to find, extremely well appointed...even nicer and more spacious than on the site photos. The verandah offers a lovely outdoor space and the house stands in a quiet cul de sac. The bed is so comfortable and the whole space homely and immaculately clean and welcoming. All facilities for preparing a simple meal, shower toilet all user friendly. Kerrie available by text with all info given accurately. She was away during our stay but everything went to plan. We highly recommend this private beautiful place.zabette2017-03-11T00:00:00Z
Kerrie's place is an amazing self contained resort style studio. It had everything to call it a luxurious stay. I had a very warm welcome from her, when i arrived and was very thoughtful to have the heater on, before i come. The photos in the listing, doesn't do justice to this room as the room is much better than what u see in the pics. Thanks for letting me stay at your place.

Claire was the ideal host, providing breakfast, tea and coffee, tourist advice, directions and a friendly smile. My daughter and I had free reign of the top level of the house which made us feel very much at home. Clean and tidy, nothing to fault here, I'd be happy to stay again. Thanks Clare!Sam2016-01-29T00:00:00Z
Met Clare on the first day, and again on the last day, as she has a full time job. Very bubbly and friendly personality, made me feel very welcome from the start. Each morning, Clare laid out breakfast for me, and I had a very filling and substantive breakfast. As there was no one else there I had the house to myself, as Clare left me to my privacy, which is exactly what I want. The house is in a very green and leafy suburb , and perfectly placed for ease of access to Canberra, everything being within 10 to 15 mins away. All in all a very peaceful and relaxing stay. Thank you, Clare.Mel2016-04-15T00:00:00Z
The house was very clean and comfortable to stay in. The room was large enough, and bed was very nice to sleep in. The home is nested in a very nice area and a good walk away from the Woden town centre, which I really enjoyed doing. To top it off Clare was an awesome host and very tentative. I'd very happily stay with Clare again and will definitely book again soon. Thanks Clare!Jem2016-04-08T00:00:00Z
Host was very welcoming and extremely helpful. Claire picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station in CBD. She also gave us a ride to the War Memorial museum one day saving us time and money on using the bus. The bedroom and facilities were wonderful. Clean, quiet and well organized. Location was good with very easy access to frequent buses to CBD.Laura2016-05-15T00:00:00Z

By providing a hospitable, friendly, clean and stylish environment Anthony totally embraces the ethos of airbnb. He is extremely generous with his time and succeeds in making his guests feel totally at home. The facilities in the house are excellent and add to the total experience. The house is close to public transport, shops and restaurants and to echo a previous guest, and also in my opinion 'the best airbnb in town'. Thank you Anthony.Patricia2016-12-01T00:00:00Z

It's a good place with a good localisation. The house is small for the living room but there is all you need :) the room is very very big, we cook the dinner and the breakfast. There are a lot of space to park car in front of the house. A recommander !Elodie 2017-04-18T00:00:00Z
All good. nice house and owner :)Morgan2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
Antonie's place was okay: nothing fancy, a little outdated and the sanitary condition of the kitchen and bathroom was so and so. Good to know is that Antonie Airbnb's one (and potentially two) other room(s), which results in some waiting to take a shower. The location is close to a park where you can cycle around as well as close to a small shopping mall with a couple of nice restaurants (Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, burgers, sushi etc). Antonie himself was very kind and helpful giving out tips on what to do in Canberra and occasionally checking whether we we're doing okay. And watching series on Netflix was very relaxing :D.Mandy2016-12-29T00:00:00Z
I like the idea of house-sharing which is what this house is about, but it is a pity that we arrived after sunset and left early in the morning for our one night stay, so interaction with the other housemates were limited. Despite that, thank you Anton for your prompt responses to my questions, welcoming us when we arrived and telling us where we might find dinner on a public holiday night. The house was not difficult to find even though we arrived after dark, and the small illuminated panel with the house number on the wall of the house which was up the slope did help.Ka Ming2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
We have stayed 4 weeks at room no. 8 and was very comfy - everything is worthy enough to appreciate the place... Great location, easy access to shops, bus and parks - and Mr Anton did a great part in welcoming every guest from different places, he never fails to entertain one, very passionate to talk about everything - you just have to be prepare one and he will handle the rest (and it's very rewarding)... Highly recommended - we've been there, be there too...KingSheng2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

US— WPP has invested more money into TV ad analytics firm Ace Metrix as part of a new $8m funding round.
Its first investment in the company, which measures the effectiveness of TV ads, was in 2010 – hot on the heels of Ace Metrix's $6m Series B round of financing.
Ace Metrix said that the latest round – which included contributions from Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, Leapfrog Ventures and Palomar Ventures – would be used to speed up growth through investments in product development and expansion into new markets.
CEO Peter Daboll (pictured) said: "We are on track to continue our 100% growth rate through 2012 and this new financing will allow us to further extend our portfolio of products and services to key adjacent markets while scaling our business infrastructure and sales and client services teams to meet the demands of our clients."

McVey described three days of trails undertaken by Jones, one of North America's most prominent packaging printers, for a client who wanted to venture into expanded gamut. Seymour focused on the history of expanded gamut, tracing its roots back to 1960 and reemergence with the arrival of digital prepress, and Mahfooth focused on the Dynamic Press Profiling technology developed by ColorXTC.
Ryerson student Andrew Ouzounis provides a photo essay of the event held at the university's Ted Rogers School of Business.
Frank Romano, Professor Emeritus at the Rochester Institute of Technology and well-known printing pundit based on more than 40 years of industry analysis, on December 2 provided a keynote speech at the Digital Imaging Association's annual holiday luncheon, held on Toronto's waterfront at The Boulevard Club. The title of Romano's DIA keynote, Digital Printing, From Good Enough to Nanography, describes one of the most-pressing issues facing printers as they prepare to make investment decisions around the commercial-printing possibilities of inkjet technologies.
Romano spent an hour providing the crowd of some 100 people with his insights on the evolution of printing technologies, beginning with his take on the industry's historical transitions into offset, toner and wide-format inkjet. The last 20 minutes of his speech then focused on both the opportunities and challenges facing further adoption of digital printing, with an emphasis on production-strength inkjet printing, ending with his perspective on Landa Digital's Nanography-branded presses.
Discussing the challenges facing further adoption of digital-printing technologies, particularly inkjet, Romano points to three primary issues. First, he explains, is the continuing, misguided marketing of technology developers that promote digital-printing growth via page volume. "The way they measure the output from these machines is page impressions. If you reduce everything to just a page, you have denigrated it – you have insulted it – because a page has no value," says Romano. "When the page is in a brochure it has value. When a page is in a book it has value… They are not pages, they are parts of a product and that product has value. And if we keep making that a page, we reduce the value in the product and that is an issue."
The second primary obstacle to digital-printing growth, according to Romano, is the absurd number of sheet sizes needed to accommodate unique imaging formats on most every single digital press – both historic installations and new systems coming to market. "Let's get rid of all of these stupid sizes. We cannot deal with every different sheet size you can imagine," says Romano. "I'm sorry, the paper companies are not going to support you – they can't anymore. They do not have the resources. They do not even have the warehouse space."
Romano then walked the crowd through a third significant challenge facing the further adoption of digital and inkjet presses: "The problem is that the majority of these machines are CMYK and yet we all know that we have to handle brand colours – Pantone colours… That is one of the reasons why Indigo sells so well. HP has done a very good job because of the fact that you can match almost every Pantone colour, every brand colour. That is why they are so dominant in the label market."
Romano continues to explain flexography remains so vital in the packaging world because of the ability to invest in 6, 8, 10-unit presses on which just about any brand colour can be dropped into the machine. He notes, however, that inkjet presses today can print on just about any polymer or plastic. "It is just a matter of time, but the problem is without the brand colours they are not going to get into the packaging market… And, by the way, telling me you can do 80 percent of the Pantone colours with CMYK does not hit it. Sorry, but that is not an argument."
After visiting drupa 2016, Romano notes the incredible range of production inkjet systems entering the market and their ability to print on most any substrate. He uses the growth in wide-format inkjet as an example of this ever-expanding application range, primarily leveraging mature UV technologies. "The next generation is going to print on new kinds of substrates. It is going to go way beyond paper... The home decor market, make the pattern of your sofa match your wall paper, if you so desire. Make your windows look like Tiffany glass. You can do that now very easily with wide-format inkjet."
Romano envisions a strong future in the use of UV inking on production-strength systems, particularly with water-based UV inkjet technologies as opposed to oil-based UV. "I think the next big movement has to be water-based UV," he says. "UV is really a key system because it can print on almost anything. It is impervious to the weather. That is going to be a key technology."
The use of water-based inking systems ties directly into the potential of Landa Digital's Nanography-branded printing systems, which Romano does not view as standard inkjet presses, despite their use of print heads, because they jet liquid toner. Landa's unique consumable is water based and evaporates in the imaging process to provide vibrant colours with a very low ink coating relative to existing inkjet systems.
"A lot is going to change when Landa actually starts shipping… When that machine comes out there are several things about it that are unique," says Romano. "You look at what [Benny Landa] is doing with that ink, it is going to change the world. The question is, will he make the machine affordable."
Without singling out Landa Digital, Romano continues to point to the challenge printers face given the high costs of production inkjet systems in the market today. "The thing that bothers me more than anything else is that we are a capital-intensive business and these machines are not cheap anymore," he says. "[Technology suppliers] figure we all have money and yet that is one of my issues – we don't. If you could get the machine at a reasonable price, we could then build a business and buy more machines, and buy more consumables… But right now I think they have priced them a little bit too high."
The following sponsors were critical in the success of the 2016 Canadian Printing Awards, including: Platinum sponsor, Veritiv; Gold sponsors, Canon, HP, Huber Group, KBA, Kodak, Manroland Sheetfed and Sun Chemical; and Silver sponsors Domtar, Fujifilm, Heidelberg and Spicers.

Ryerson Graphic Communications Management (GCM) students Jim Poopalapillai and Melissa Williams hosted the evening, which began with an address from the Chair of the school, Ian Baitz, who noted the program's growth – with around 180 new students enrolled this year – and its important relationship with industry.
In addition to several awards donated by a range companies, GCM students were acknowledged for their achievements through the Canada Printing Industry Scholarship Trust Fund, which provided $59,000 to students across Canada this year – a majority of which are studying at Ryerson. (Photos provided by Ryerson student Andrew Ouzounis.)
In April of this year, a group of secondary and post-secondary students were honoured with scholarships for their achievements in industry-related programs and the annual Toronto Craftsmen Graphic Challenge Competition.
Bill Kidd, President of the Toronto Craftsmen, explains 54 submissions from eight educational programs were entered into this year's Graphic Challenge, which has grown since its inception six years ago when 15 students submitted work from four institutions. The Craftsmen scholarship program has been running for 41 years and is now called the Tai Chi Awards in honour of a promising student who passed away shortly after graduating from Ryerson University's Graphic Communications Management program.
drupa, the world's biggest and most important trade show for print and media, has operated in Düsseldorf , Germany, since 1951. Results from its latest installment, held over 10 days from 31 May to 10 June 2016, confirm the show's continued commercial viability: Out of 260,000 visitors from 188 countries, 54 percent came with concrete plans to invest, 29 percent placed orders at the show, 30 percent plan to place orders afterwards, and fully 60 percent found new suppliers from among the show's 1,837 exhibitors from 64 countries. Aside from the trade show's commercial success, in its 65 years of existence, drupa has also evolved a distinctive culture and traditions which are highlighted in this article, along with some uncommon events at this year's show.
#1 Small d
drupa's predecessor, another German exhibition called BUGRA, was held in Leipzig from 1914 until 1949, when Germany was partitioned, Leipzig became part of East Germany, and Düsseldorf was chosen to host a new show called Internationale Messe Druck und Papier. This title was shortened first to Druck und Papier, then to DRUPA. The show premiered in 1951, when letterpress still dominated the industry. Later, in 1997, the format of the name was changed to drupa in keeping with the contemporary trend of using lowercase letters for brand names. To this day drupa still begins with a small letter d.
#2 drupacity
Because Düsseldorf is famous for its lively modern art and cultural scene, drupa organizers Messe Düsseldorf work in partnership with Destination Düsseldorf, the local tourist authority, to organize an array of drupa-themed educational, cultural, and recreational attractions in which not only international visitors but also Düsseldorf residents can participate during drupa. This year's offerings included:
• Welcoming teams of "drupauls" and "drupaulas", multilingual guides dressed all in red, stationed at strategic locations,
• "Wolfgang": a Berlin-style double-decker bus converted by the GoetheLab at the nearby Technical University of Aachen into a mobile, hands-on, 8-station 3D-printing laboratory,
• 3D-printing demonstrations in shopping malls and department stores, plus a drawing contest in which winners receives the subject of their drawing as a 3D object,
• Another contest to win one of 100 3D-printed portraits,
• Mr. Lo's Papershow, a revival of an old-time variety act involving paper tearing,
• A fashion collection made entirely of paper by students of the Mediadesign Hochschule, and
• Other printing-themed art and photography exhibitions and lectures
#3 Safety first
The international media gave drupa 2016 unexpected attention because of two potential security threats that were both efficiently averted by local authorities. The first occurred on June 2nd, when German police arrested three Syrian nationals suspected of planning a mass-casualty attack on a busy downtown area of Düsseldorf on behalf of the terrorist organization ISIS. The men had arrived in Germany with the largely unregulated flood of migrants who have entered the country over the past two years.
The arrest was prompted by information obtained from a fourth Syrian man who was arrested in Paris after giving himself up to authorities in February and confessing to the plot. It took German investigators four more months to accumulate enough evidence against the other three men to arrest them. No evidence suggests that the suspects had begun implementing their attack plans which allegedly involved aiming suicide bombings, guns, and explosives at crowds frequenting Heinrich-Heine-Allee, a main street with major public transport links and numerous bars and cafés that are popular with residents and partying tourists.
A second potential security threat occurred shortly after noon on June 7th, when a large fire broke out on the grounds of Düsseldorf 's Exhibition Centre in hall 18, a former exhibition space recently used to house migrants. While officially the building housed 160 people, fire crews reportedly evacuated more than 250, who were subsequently moved to other accommodations. It took more than 70 firefighters to control the blaze that completely destroyed hall 18 and alarmed many nearby drupa attendees with its kilometre-high cloud of black smoke. However, drupa was unharmed by the blaze. Local news outlets reported that two migrants were arrested and up to six questioned in connection with the fire.
#4 Historical printing
Among drupa's wonders of modern technology, the Leipzig Museum of the Printing Arts showcased some of its extensive collection of historical printing equipment and products. Its show exhibits included a letterpress machine by Koenig & Bauer (1984), a linotype machine (1965), and a toggle press (1872).
Begun as a private collection, the museum now houses about 100 working machines representing the three most important historical printing techniques-letterpress, intaglio, and planographic printing – as well as a working type foundry, 4,000 different lead and wooden typefaces, a fully equipped handcrafted book bindery, a wood engraver's workshop (ca. 1900), music printing techniques, and a reference library of 3,500 specialist books.
#5 Celebrity legends and model presses
Another way in which drupa culture exhibits a reverence for history is in recurring celebrations by and for people with a longstanding presence at the show. One case in point is Indigo and Landa Digital Printing founder Benny Landa, who celebrated his 70th birthday with a party for over 500 guests on the night of Day 3. For the occasion, Landa chartered two planes to fly in all his employees from Israel who were not already working at drupa. Celebration highlights included viewing a "this is your life" video by Landa's staff, outlining his childhood in Canada and his achievements of launching Indigo, Landa, and the nanographic technology his company builds today. Among Landa's family, Landa's wife Patsy, and the senior industry executives who paid Landa tribute was his former colleague from Indigo, Alon Bar Shany, now the general manager of HP's Indigo division. While presenting Landa with a working tabletop model of the original Indigo E-Print digital press, PrintWeek quotes Bar Shany as saying: "Without Benny there would be no digital printing industry and no drupa because it would have died a long time ago if it had just been about offset."
Another drupa party celebrated the 90th birthday of Russian print engineer and media designer Vladimir Alexandrovitch Tiefenbach, hailed by drupa as a living legend for having visited every single one of the 16 drupas held since 1951. The birthday cake drupa presented to him was topped with a model antique press.
A third example of a drupa industry legend is Rochester Institute of Technology professor emeritus and printing industry expert Frank Romano who described his own status: "I am now a veteran journalist. There are five of us, from US, UK, India, Italy, Germany, who have covered nine drupas or more. Number 1 had 14 drupas, I had 11, and the others had 9."
#6 Social media smarts
In recognition of the growing prominence of social media as communication tools, drupa erected a social media booth at the north entrance of the fairgrounds, with seating and screens showing updated Twitter feeds and live video of interviews and demonstrations. Also at the booth, in exchange for a tweet including the hashtag #drupa2016, visitors and exhibitors were awarded an apple decorated with an edible impression of the same hashtag. Additionally, during the show drupa posted news updates to its own blog, as well as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Xing accounts.
#7 Klaus
In an e-mail James Matthews-Paul of Output Magazine (U.K.) describes another of drupa 2016's initiatives to encourage mentions on social media: "Each day, the @drupa social media and PR team determined the 'best contributor' on Twitter via some combination of volume, relevance, and effort and awarded them a trophy. The first winner was [American] Deborah Corn of Print Media Centr, who collaborated with HP on #PWPPartners for PageWide. As the inaugural recipient (and mad as a box of frogs), she anthropomorphised the trophy by giving it the name Klaus.
"Klaus was awarded at 4.30 pm every day. Companies then enjoyed the pleasure of 'his' company during the next day. I won on Day 7 and carried Klaus for |day 8. I took him on a trip to every one of drupa's 19 gigantic halls! (It was generally agreed that nobody would be able to top that.)"
Corn comments by e-mail: "#Klaus became a celebrity at drupa and had many adventures with everyone who won him. The @drupa social media and PR team were instrumental in helping create and generate #Klaus buzz. By the end of drupa, #Klaus was the third most used hashtag included with #drupa2016 (according to stats from hashtracking.com)."
Corn says until the next drupa Klaus will reside in the office of Sabine Geldermann, director of drupa, who took time out of her day to come to the #Klaus winners gathering and farewell to #Klaus on June 9th. Corn writes: "This all may seem a bit silly, but ultimately #Klaus brought together all the exhibitors in a way I have never seem before at any other event. #Klaus was the catalyst for common ground and common experience and fun because it wasn't linked to any products and services. He really helped us to form a global social community around #drupa2016 whether people were present physically or not."
#8 drupa theme song
Since 1986, each drupa has had its own theme song, which is played throughout the exhibition halls every morning at opening time. Historically, the songs have varied in styles ranging from country to power ballad to techno dance. The latest 2016 version, called "drupa is in town again", is composed and played by Düsseldorf songwriter/pianist/music professor Dieter Falk and performed by South African soul singer Bonita Niessen. At least the last two drupa songs are available for playback on drupa's Website. Fujifilm's Mark Stephenson has also created a Facebook page, The Cult of drupa Songs (www.facebook.com/drupasongs) in recognition of the show's musical tradition.
#9 drupa food
Besides the #drupa2016 apples mentioned above and the fine cuisine of Düsseldorf and Germany in general, drupa offered attendees a selection of special show-themed foods. This year's delicacies included druPRINTen, cookies modeled on the traditional imprinted spice biscuits called printen which originated in Aachen. The updated version of this gingerbread-like sweet, created for drupa by the local baker's guild, featured place logos for decoration and was handed out gratis at a venues including the airport, hotels, and 100 bakeries. Other gastronomic attractions included "drupabases" serving daily tastings, welcome cocktails, or such free snacks as Altbier ice cream, made from Düsseldorf 's own unique variety of beer, as well as restaurant vouchers and discounts for drupa attendees.
#10 Four-year cycle
In February 2015, drupa announced its organizing committee's decision to hold the trade show every three years after 2016 (instead of every four years) in order to update visitors on new technology more frequently. Visitors said they preferred the shorter cycle. The change also offered the extra advantage of reducing stress on drupa's exhibitors who specialize in package printing, since it meant that drupa would not run in 2020, the year scheduled for the leading packaging and process-industry trade show interpack.
Historically, in 2012 the committee vetoed a similar proposal to change drupa to a three-year cycle after receiving significant objections from drupa's major exhibitors. And as it turned out this year, once again, in response to the demands of exhibitors at drupa 2016, the committee opted to stick with its four-year cycle in the interest of drupa's customers and international markets. The next drupa has been scheduled from June 23 to July 3, 2020.
Insource Corp. yesterday hosted two seminars in downtown Toronto focused on the new RISO ComColor FW5230 inkjet printing system, introduced six weeks ago at drupa 2016. The seminars were led by Andre D'Urbano, RISO's National Sales Manager for Canada, who described the unique positions of the FW5230 and RISO's existing ComColor X1 Series.
The FW5230 – a fifth genertaion inkjet system from RISO – is aimed at corporate offices where some departments incur heavy print volumes, but it is also suitable for traditional printing facilities like in-plant graphics departments based on its 120-pages per minute printing speed in full colour. The highest-end X1 system hits speeds of up to 150 ppm in full colour. The ComColor FW series, running oil-based pigments in a line-type inkjet system, has a Standard Print resolution of 300 x 300 dpi and a Fine Print mode of 600 x 600 dpi. RISO explains key features of the FW5230 include a new LCD panel (with colour, tilt, and customization), small footprint, embedded RIP, and low-cost printing.
In addition to installations where ComColor devices serve as primary production systems, D'Urbano explains several printers with larger web-bed inkjet machines (costing more than $1 million) are purchasing the ComColor to print short-run or reprint work. Larger web-fed inkjet devices typically require a few hundred feet of paper waste before reaching sellable print quality. D'Urbano noted, even as most toner-equipment manufacturers are now deeply invested in developing inkjet technologies, RISO remains as one of the only large vendors to supply a low-investment cutsheet inkjet engine. At drupa 2016, he explains only a few vendors showcased cutsheet inkjet systems costing just under $1 million, whereas the RISO systems are priced well under $100,000, typically between $30,000 and $90,000 depending on configuration.
D'Urbano then discussed the advantages of cutsheet inkjet over toner systems, primarily focusing on the lower-cost per page of inkjet (two to three cents, compared to five to six cents for toner), which immediately provides inkjet with a strong Return on Investment position. The RISO systems, as opposed to the traditional click-charge toner model, are also purchased based on a 1/2-cent service contract with equipment users responsbile for buying inks.
During the seminar, D'Urbano also highlighted the no-heat advantages of inkjet printing relative to toner, which traditionally needs to fuse its toner images to paper at around 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The no-heat process of inkjet, D'Urbano explains, provides not only significant uptime benefits, but also an ability to work with a greater range of applications from envelopes to Tyvek materials, because there is no curling of materials from added heat. The FW series, for example, can print 100 fully variable colour Tyvek wristbands, which is growing application for school and promotional events, for a cost of around 15 cents each.
D'Urbano also referenced a range of Energy Star statics indicating, for example, toner-based photocopiers account for 10 percent of all office equipment electricity demand. Again, without a need for heat for the fundamental printing process, the RISO FW inkjet systems run on a regular 110 volt system drawing just 15 amps of power.
D'Urbano also referenced a range of InfoTrend studies about the growth of inkjet printing, including findings that colour inkjet devices accounted for more than one third of all digital colour pages in 2014. According to InfoTrend's 2013-108 Global Production Printing & Copying Market Forecast, U.S. and Western European digital production colour volumes totaled around 265-billion impressions in 2013 and will surpass 500-billion by 2018.
In addition to its RISO distribution agreement, Insource is a Canadian sales and service agent for Kirk Rudy, Winkler-Dunnebier, KAS Paper Systems, Petratto, SCS Automaberg, Astro, Therm-O-Type and Profold technologies.
Following a session by PrintAction Editor Jon Robinson, Martin Habekost, Associate Chair of Ryerson's Graphic Communications Management program, spent an hour discussing both digital- and conventional-printing trends at drupa. Habekost began his session, called Is It All Digital Now?, describing the highly positive atmosphere at drupa, which featured 1,837 exhibitors from 54 countries, 260,000 visitors from 188 countries (slightly down from 2012), and 1,900 journalists from 74 countries.
Gleaning statistics from drupa organizer, Messe Dusseldorf, Habekost noted some interesting post-drupa numbers from surveyed visitors, including: 29 percent placed orders during drupa, 30 percent are planning to place their orders after drupa, and 60 percent found new suppliers at drupa.
Habekost began his digital trends highlights by noting how inkjet print speeds are increasing and starting to reach offset speeds. Based on the amount of print applications highlighted at this year's show, he also noted how inkjet inks can print on almost anything and more special inks are being developed for inkjet work. Habekost spent several minutes taking the crowd through key digital and offset developments, including an emphasis on the progress of Landa Digital, which expects to begin shipping its presses in 2017.
Habekost concluded his session by explaining how print is alive and coming back strong, as digital printing is making strong inroads into the offset print market, again with increased print speeds and high-quality output.
Nick Howard, President of Howard Graphic Equipment, presented the third session at PrintForum discussing how technological change is not new to the printing industry and shared his thoughts on how inkjet will impact the commercial printing industry. He also discussed the market for offset technologies (new and used) and what printers should consider when making investments. Howard explained LED curing, or similar hybrid variations, is a definite advance that all offset-perfecting printers should consider, as well as companies running straight configurations.
The final conference session featured seven industry leaders discussing the state of production inkjet technologies, both web and cutsheet. The panelists included: Alec Couckuyt, Senior Director, Canon Canada, Professional Printing Solutions Group; Brad King, VP, Graphics Communications, Xerox Canada; Brent Moncrief, VP, Brand Management, Fujifilm North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division; Edward Robeznieks, VP and GM, Production Printing, Ricoh Canada; Ray Fagan, Sheetfed Product Manager, Heidelberg Canada; Brian Forrester, Senior Sales Executive, Enterprise Inkjet Systems Division, Eastman Kodak; and Grant Robinson Business Development Manager at Delphax Technologies.
While all of the panelists have a natural interest in promoting the adoption of inkjet technologies, the group provided several examples for why in fact production inkjet technology has arrived in the printing industry.
