ISE 16 - ZeeVee LAUNCHES NEXT GENERATION VIDEO DISTRIBUTION PRODUCTS AT ISE 2016
Demos will include the latest 4K Video over IP solutions from ZeeVee
Boston, January 7, 2016, ZeeVee, Inc. (Zv) a global manufacturer of video and signal distribution technology, will be demonstrating its new video distribution solutions, ZyPer4K™ CATx and ZyPerMX at the ISE 2016 Show in Amsterdam, February 9 - 12 in hall 10 at stand N151, at the Amsterdam RAI.
"The ZyPer4k CATx delivers all the functionality of the ZyPer4K for clients who haven't made the upgrade to fiber cabling," said Danny Barr, vice president, new product business development for ZeeVee.
In addition, the ZyPerMX will be showcased at the event. Using industry standard H.264 (MPEG4) encoding technology, the ZyPerMX HD IP video encoder, provides a bridge between the current high definition iSeries and the 4K/UHD ZyPer4k products. As many new buildings have been wired without traditional COAX cabling, the ZyPerMX provides an affordable IP video encoding solution enabling customers to deliver live TV and archived content over their Ethernet networks.
"The new ZyPerMX truly bridges the divide between today's HDBridge/COAX products and the new generation of high capacity ZyPer4K/network based products," Barr added.
With the addition of these new products, Zv's multi-source to multi-screen video distribution platforms continue to deliver on its promise of any source, over any network to unlimited displays.
Visitors to ISE 2016 will also be able to see demos of Zv's extensive product family of RF/Coax encoders and modulators.

The Howitzer & Buzz-Saw Show - Best In The World!
FINALLY the BHYPHEN has come back....to the HBS. Kelen "the BHYPHEN" Conley returns to the Howitzer and Buzz-saw Show for another crack at defeating the best in the world: Mike "the Buzz-saw" Asti. This would be like trying to end the Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak. It's a physical impossibility. In this wrestling installment of the famous, Howitzer and Buzz-saw Show, Mike asks Kelen his thoughts on The Rock and John Cena's latest promo battle, if it has actually accomplished anything but spark trends on Twitter, and some new developments on Shawn Michael's possible involvement in the HHH - Undertaker angle. Has the Jericho - Punk feud already staled before they even step into the ring in Miami? What will be the future of the funkiest super-star in history, Brodus Clay? Mike "the Buzz-saw" is the best in the world at what he does. To all his haters, it's the end of the world as you know it! Why? Because he conquers sports radio, one day, at a time....

Victory Jumpoff Radio - Show #9: From Fayette County To Mr. Dub Vee
In this week's episode of Victory Jumpoff Radio, I shift the focus to an artist that's from right here in West Virginia, 6'6 240! While 6's career began with the 304 Reconz in the late 90's, it was when he began putting out solo material that I discovered his music. In this show, I give you just a small portion of his catalog as I roll out songs from obscure mixtapes through each of his three solo albums. So I invite you to experience something new, something old, and something dope as we celebrate my friend 6'6 240!

Victory Jumpoff Radio - Show #8: Whitney
I really wish I didn't have to do this show. At least not like this. I had a whole other idea on how to approach VJR Show #8 but fate, being the mean bitch that she is, intervened. Whitney Houston passed away on February 11, 2012. I was asleep when the news broke and I've been in a state of denial ever since. Now that this podcast is completed, it's really hit me that Whitney is gone. Despite all the hard times she had fallen on in the past 10 years or so, Ms. Houston has always been one of the greats to me. Some of my earliest music memories began with her, especially considering music was becoming relevant to me around the time she put out I'm Your Baby Tonight and The Bodyguard soundtrack. It saddens me that I have to first celebrate her music on VJR under these circumstances but it's a fitting way for me to cope I suppose. I hope the music of this show brings you a tenth of the happiness that it has for me in my life. I love you Whitney.

The Howitzer & Buzz-Saw Show - Breaking Down The Walls
The diversity of the Buzz-saw just never ends. With his fellow sports genius, George "the Howitzer" Gerbo not available, Mike throws a curve ball with some heat at the HBS fans. Think chair shots, sledge hammers, slobber knockers, and breaking down the walls. Mike "the Buzz-saw" Asti will welcome friend and radio colleague, Kelen "BHYPHEN" Conley to the Howitzer and Buzz-saw show ring. Can Kelen stand tall and duck the pile drivers, choke slams, and pedigrees the Buzz-saw will undoubtedly be sending his way? Will the strong face character of the BHYPHEN force another patented Buzz-saw heel turn? Expect their thoughts on the Undertaker's Wrestlemania re-match challenge to HHH, Chris Jericho's return and rivalry with CM Punk, and Mike's John Cena rant. If you're not down with some HBS wrestling talk, we got two words for ya!.... The Howitzer and Buzz-saw show. Conquering sports radio, one day, at a time....Because that's the bottom line, cause the BHYPHEN said so!

Victory Jumpoff Radio - Show #7: A Man Named Drake
For the first show of 2012, I decided to bring you a show featuring one of my favorite artists: Aubrey Drake Graham. Now, you may know Drake as the guy who exploded onto the scene with his mixtape So Far Gone in 2009 and from the countless hits and the two albums he's dropped since. But in this show, I aim to bring you the lesser known Drake music. With a few exceptions, this show consists of music from his first mixtape Room For Improvement to his first album Thank Me Later. I tried to stay away from singles as much as possible but you might hear a tune or two you've heard before. So without further ado, I give you: A Man Named Drake.
This episode is a bit shorter than previous shows, just a heads up.

Carousel Industries Appoints Duke Lamb as Account Executive
Lamb Brings Extensive Range of Networking and Security Experience to Carousel as Company Continues Investments in Texas and Western Region of U.S.
Carousel Industries, a leader in managed services, video solutions, data and visual communications, has announced it has hired Duke Lamb as Account Executive. Lamb, who joins Carousel from M&S Technologies, will work out of Carousel's regional office located in Dallas, Texas and be responsible for strengthening and expanding the company's increasing client base in Texas. Lamb will report directly to Christopher Smeaton, Regional Sales Director, Carousel Industries.
With more than a decade of account and consultative-based customer experience, Lamb is extremely knowledgeable in the network infrastructure and the network security technology segments. During his tenure as an Account Executive at M&S Technologies, Lamb provided an extensive range of network security technology solutions to clients within the healthcare, education, government, SMB and corporate enterprise sectors. In his new role at Carousel, Lamb's vast experience in data security — particularly in technologies from Juniper Networks, Extreme Networks, Fortinet, F5 Networks and Aruba Networks — will enable a new opportunity for solution selling that combines traditional hardware sales with Carousel's targeted managed services offerings.
"We are pleased to welcome Duke to Carousel," commented Christopher Smeaton. "Our company is making aggressive investments in Texas and the Western Region as we look to scale our national sales force to meet increasing demand from our growing customer base. Duke's networking strengths and customer-centric focus makes him a perfect complement to our team."
Carousel opened its regional office in 2012 to manage its operational activities within the central region of the U.S., and to strengthen and expand its existing client base in the Texas region. The Dallas-based office, which is run by Smeaton, also serves as a central geographic hub to facilitate the training and expanion of Carousel's nationally based sales force.
Lamb, whose official start date is June 2nd, holds a degree in business from the University of North Texas and was also educated at Texas Christian University. Prior to working at M&S Technologies, he held positions in finance and mortgage consulting.

Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Viacheslav Kyrylenko told Ukrainian Radio, Censor.NET reports.
"Of course, we are ready to host all 43 participating countries during Eurovision 2017, including a representative of Russia. Russia can handle this situation by offering a participant who has no problems with Ukrainian law. And the issue will be resolved very quickly. At the same time, we do not expect Russia to make such steps, because Eurovision provocation is only a small link in a large-scale chain of provocations and actions aimed to add more fuel to the fire in Ukraine," Kyrylenko said.
As previously reported, Yulia Samoylova was supposed to represent Russia at the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kyiv with the song Flame Is Burning. The singer is known to have given concerts in occupied Crimea.
The foreign minister of Ukraine considers such a decision of the Russian Federation to be yet another provocation. Russia, in turn, claims it sees nothing provocative in choosing Samoylova for taking part in the contest.
March 20, the Security Service of Ukraine drafted a ruling to ban the entry into the country for the Russian singer.

«Clary curled up on the ground seeing in front of her not the shell of a destroyed town but the eyes of the brother and the sister that she would never have.»
«...I felt the wall between the world of secrets and the real world start to collapse. I felt the girls from the portrait becoming us and us becoming them...»
«One of your siblings has got to be the dumbest. And if you're an only childâyou're the dumb one.»
«We were born in the '70s, back when twins were rare, a bit magical: cousins of the unicorn, siblings of the elves.»
«Siblings that say they never fight are most definitely hiding something»
«You see, that's who you are, Joe. All these things. That's the person I know, and through him is the way you'll know me, because connected to all these things are»
«[Jo to her mother] I knew there was mischief brewing. I felt it and now it's worse than I imagined. I just wish I could marry Meg myself, and keep her safe in the family.»
«Aliena's brother, Richard, sometimes reminded her of her father, with a look or a gesture, and that was when she felt a surge of affection.»
«Bett didn't have any siblings because she said her father had preserved what was dead for too long to be able to create life. When Bet was younger and had begged for one, her father gave her a marmot he' stuffed for a man from Wyoming.»
«The last image I registered was Ethan and my hand â linked, bound and unbreakable.»
«I liked having some time to myself. Our family was such a close one, you could get smothered. Of course, we didn't always agree with one another. Sometimes I quarreled with my brother and sisters, but I couldn't remember hating anyone for more than five minutes.»
«I'm the oldest of twelve brothers. However, the other eleven are yet to be born.»
«We share a bond. We do everything together. We have a piece of strong, invisible thread connecting us. It's indestructible â it can never be broken. The thread is the key item that links us together. We understand each other.»
«My sister and I are so close that we finish each other's sentences and often wonder who's memories belong to whom.»
«If you are a twin, you watch yourself live two livesâyours and hers. It's constant comparison. I am never as good as the bad I wanted her to be. I was the only soldier I needed. We couldn't haven known what splitting would mean. Time speeds past fast, scattering like shrapnel, and is quiet as cobwebs. We wait for the ambush. Sister will find out first; she'll be my living memory. She will be the body left standing.»
«Whoa, that's the kind of little sister I can dig!" said Edison.»
«I tried to show him things, but he didn't seem to study what I showed him. Usually, he just put whatever I handed him in his mouth. He would try to eat anything. I fed him Tabasco sauce and he yelled. Having a little brother helped me learn to relate to other people. Being a little brother, Snort learned to watch what he put in his mouth.»
«Anisette! You will eat your food, not demonstrate aerial warfare across the table with it.»
«There was an outburst of noise and protests, and Jeremy announced I wasn't being logical, of course they wouldn't sell me, because it was»
«I wanted to tell her that I loved her, and not in the complicated way I loved our parents, but in a simple way I never had to think about. I loved her like breathing.»
«Peanut butter and jelly is like the older, more serious brother to egg salad sandwich. I'm an only child, so I eat both with incredible sadness.»
«You must not imagine that Papa or I have the least notion of compelling you to marry anyone whom you hold in aversion, for I am sure that such a thing would be quite shocking! And Charles would not do so either, would you, dear Charles?â(Elizabeth Ombersley)»
«You will never find the real truth among people that are insecure or have egos to protect. Truth over time becomes either guarded or twisted as their perspective changes; it changes with the seasons of their shame, love, hope or pride.»
«I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be one of so many, to have not just parents and siblings but cousins and aunts and uncles, an entire tribe to claim as your own. Maybe you would feel lost in the crowd. Or sheltered by it. Whatever the case, one things was for sure: like it or not, you'd never be alone.»
«When you lose your ego, you win. It really is that simple.»
«Being an only child makes me the oldest child and the youngest child. And the middle child.»
«If I met a man who had eleven sons, the first thing I'd ask is, Are they all yours? And of course the next question I'd ask is, which one plays quarterback and which one is the best receiver?»
«When you blame others, what you are really saying is what is inside of you can't be fixed, so you have no control of your own happiness. Therefore, you have made the conscience choice to give focus and fuel to a bad situation that will take you nowhere and give you nothing, but ignorance and pain.»
«Her hands flew to her mouth. 'Are we even twins?'»

This sounds pretty impressive, doesn't it? Well, here is
what it means to me. (By the way, we intended for this to take
effect before we start
to really
sell it to the public on a large scale.) Oh, and if you are interested, here is my stand on the issue of "Organic."
We do not currently feed organic grain, it is too expensive to
use while we increase our numbers. We will consider it just for
the turkeys for next year.
"Beyond Organic" Cows, Sheep, and Goats eat only grass or hay, and they
are supplemented with salt and mineral blocks and have fresh water
within a ¼ mile.
Water containers are cleaned at least every 2 weeks. The animals
stay outside all year long, have shade trees available in the summer
(with branches trimmed to be above 15 feet), and wind breaks in
the winter.
"Beyond Organic" Pigs are not ringed, they are encouraged
to root and do "pig
things." They are fed on grass as well but are supplemented
with grain. They have as a minimum a 3-sided or hoop house for
adult pig and adequate shelter for piglets. These shelters are
well stocked with fresh straw and cleaned every two weeks. They
are outside on pasture all year long and can interact with other
pigs. They also have free choice access to all the yummy cow manure
they want. Salt blocks are available and fresh water is within
a ¼ mile; water containers are cleaned at least every 2
"Beyond Organic" Chickens have free choice layer mash, steam flaked
corn, and Flax seed. They have free choice to be on pasture. In
the winter they are housed in a coop where the hay is changed every
two weeks, it is semi heated and they have fresh water, the container
is cleaned very time it is filled. Also in the winter they have
free choice to roam and feed outside inside and outside of the
chicken yard. They are shut in at night. Roosts are provided as
are shaving-lined nesting boxes. Eggs are collected at least
once a day. Free choice oyster shells are available.
During the seasons other than winter, the chickens are
moved daily in our "Chicken
Tractors"—these are fenced-in areas that can be easily
moved so as to allow free choice access to fresh grass, manure,
worms, etc. Their food is supplemented with free choice feed and
oyster shells just as they are in the winter. Clean water is provided
in the same manner as in the winter.
We have recently become quite passionate about our chickens
and ask you to read more about "pastured
"Beyond Organic" Turkeys have free choice turkey grain, steam flaked corn
and flax seed, they also are housed much the same way as the chickens
are and have the same kind of "Turkey Tractor". Clean
water is provided and the containers cleaned every time they are
As many of the animals and birds as possible are all in the same
pastures. This provides companionship, safety, protection and inter
species benefits (for instance, pigs eating cow manure stops the
spread of the cows' internal parasites; chickens eating fly larvae
manure helps reduce the number of horn flies).
Our Certification is not something that is issued by the USDA
or the Certified Humane people or anyone else. It is not something
that is purchased, it is not something that requires outside inspection,
it is also not something that is vague, un-enforced, misunderstood,
over used, not deserved. It is not meant to mislead for the purpose
of increasing the price per pound, nor is it intended to make you
think what you are buying something that you really aren't.
It is our word, our reputation, our promise not only to the customer
but more importantly to our animals. We invite questions and will
give an honest answer, we invite call-ahead visitors and we welcome
testimonials both good and bad.
We stand behind our word.

What an amazing couple and spectacular wedding! Shelby and Larissa met at college in Texas, and ended up getting married in Lake Chelan as one Larissa's family favorite vacation spots. They had the most touching ceremony on the Columbia River at Rio Vista Winery. This wedding had it all, sandy beach, vineyard, smores, bull roping... yep you heard me right! They had an amazing blend of all the things they love and that represented both their families. Even down the cotton for the flower arrangements from Shelby's family in Texas! We all got news a few days before hand that Larissa's dad wouldn't be able to make it due to an urgent health issue, and I have to say they all did an amazing job remembering to enjoy the day, and she had some special men to fill in on her walk down the aisle. I hope he can view the photos and feel like he was right there.

Trip Advisor Likes Pybus Market
Trip Advisor is a popular restaurant, motel and travel online review site, used by many people as a guide for places to visit. Under the heading "Things to Do In Wenatchee," Pybus Market is ranked #2; under the heading "Food and Drink," Pybus Market is ranked #1. And people who do visit us seem to like the experience. Our reviews on Trip Advisor have been vey favorable: 85% of our 177 visitor ratings rank Pybus Market as either "Excellent" or "Very Good." Here are three recent examples:
"Charming Market with Good Eateries"
"This is similar to Pike place market in Seattle, but without the crazy crowds. We went there later in the day, when it was even less crowded, and it was nice to be able to walk around and look at things. They have some nice restaurants and cute stores." Visited April 2017, New Delhi, India
"Go to go here when you visit Wenatchee"
"Neat little market close to the Columbia River. You can rent bikes to take on the trails, find tasty local food, gaze at the river and shop in a few of the small shops. It is a covered market so accessible all year around. There is also a nice little drive/walk up coffee stand located just outside the market." Visited April 2017, Olympia Washington
"Who would have known?"
"Most travelers bypass downtown Wenatchee on their way from more touristy things. B(ut) downtown has a wonderful stock of old art deco buildings and thriving businesses … The Public Market was most surprising: a mini-version of Seattle's Pike Place in a former steel products plant. Great for foodies, a bite to eat, and local products." Visited May 2017, Seattle, Washington
Thank you, visitors, to our wonderful community. We are proud to call the Wenatchee valley our home and we pledge to work heard to continue to earn your high praise.

Having been a loyal reader of The Scotsman for more years than I care to reveal I must admit that my loyalty is wavering, owing to the increased cost of the paper relative to value therein.
Jacking up the price to sell half-price subscriptions has not in marketing terms achieved a lot and the only hope for survival would be a straight cut-price offer to recover lost sales and stay competitive in the difficult times for the newspaper business.

Dermatologist Free Consultation On Pimples
Patient : I keep on getting different kinds of pimples all over my face. I know it is very hard for you to answer this question without seeing me in person. I unfortunately don't have a health care plan and was wondering what would probably be my best option to see a dermatologist for free in person.
Doctor : We here at AskTheDoctor.com are currently working on a way for you to be able to upload pictures of any pimples, rashes, etc that you may have so our team of doctors can take a look at it. Unfortunately we don't have that system in place and I really strongly suggest you invest the money in seeing the dermatologist in your area to assess your pimples. You can also take a look at some of our articles on that may help you out.

New look and feel for Connected Conversations
I stumbled on a new theme for wordpress called "inove" that I liked. This theme is fairly simple, and is more modern than the previous theme I was using. Although some of plugins and widgets are no longer working, this new theme seems to have a better looking and more functional subscription feature. Over time, I'll consider re-adding the omitted blog bling if it seems that it is missed.
Right now, weiksner.com received about 60-80 readers daily split evenly through subscribers to the blog and visitors to the web site. Thank you for reading my thoughts; please do consider posting a comment from time to time. I hope you enjoy the fresh new look and feel of Connected Conversations!

15th March 2016
14th - 18th March 2016 is National Apprenticeships Week.
As part of this week, we will be featuring a new blog every day from our Health & Social Care Apprentices.
Kerry Fahy is a Health and Social Care Apprentice working on the Greenfields Unit. Here she talks us through her typical day.
I am currently a Health and Social Care Apprentice on the Greenfields Unit, a 9 bedded female mental health recovery unit.
On our unit we have 4 shifts patterns, which are:
Early 7.30am-3.30pm Late 11.30am-7.30pm
Long day 7.30am-7.30pm Nights 7.15pm-7.45am
On an early shift our day would include the following:
7.30am - We meet in the nurse's office for a handover. This is where staff from the night shift pass over all the information from their shift so we know what has happened throughout the evening. After our handover we will then plan the day and the nurse in charge assigns any relevant tasks to the nursing staff. We then plan the 4 hourly observations. These take place at 11am, 3pm and 7pm throughout the day and night. When we are on observations we ensure all patients are in sight and check that they are safe and free from harm.
At around 8.30am - 9am we will start waking the patients up ready for their medication. Patients will then rise, see to their personal hygiene and get themselves ready for the day as well as having their breakfast. We have some patients who need assistance when doing this, so we will help them with bathing, showering and dressing. Throughout the day we will check the laundry areas and check all washing is being done. We also have a laundry rota, so if a patient is on the rota we will check they have put their laundry in and switched it on.
Every day and afternoon we have therapy groups which include creativity, health and well-being and psychology. These groups run for an hour to an hour and half.
At 12pm patients have their dinner and we ensure everyone has come down to the dining room. Often we will take patients out for activities which include swimming and bowling. If there are any activities our patients would like to do, we try our best to fulfil this. Throughout the day we will fill in food and fluid charts, change the beds and door monitor to ensure no patient leaves the ward without being first assessed as fit. We also take physical observations during the day which includes blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation levels and respiration rate. After taking the observations we will fill in a MUST and MEWS chart.
If we have a patient on arm's length observation or eye sight observation, we will ensure these have been carried out. We also have patients with infections taking antibiotics, so we ensure enhanced deep cleaning is carried out in their rooms and then write it up on the electronic system within their notes.
As mentioned earlier, during our shift we will log onto SystmOne and update each patient's notes, recording any events or what the patient has been doing on that particular day. SystmOne contains all relevant information for each patient and shows all of their history and preferences.

MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Russia's Gazprom has delayed LNG plans on Sakhalin island and in the Baltic Sea, a Eurobond presentation showed on Monday.
The delays could disrupt Russia's plans to carve out a bigger share of the global LNG market, where it aims to triple its market share of less than 5% by 2035.
Gazprom plans to expand the Sakhalin-2 project off Russia's Pacific coast by 2023-2024, the presentation showed, while previously it had announced plans to launch a third LNG production train there in 2021.
The presentation seen by Reuters showed a 2022-23 launch for a new Baltic LNG plant in the Leningrad region, later than the 2021 start aimed for in a June 2016 memorandum of understanding.
Sakhalin-2 is currently Russia's only LNG plant. It operates two production lines with a combined capacity of 10 MMt of LNG per year.
"We expect to commission the third LNG production line at the Sakhalin LNG plant in the period from 2023 through 2024," Gazprom's prospectus for the Eurobond issue said.
The third train is expected to boost production by 5.4 MMtpy.
The plans to expand the plant have been long considered by the shareholders but where hampered by issues related to the gas resources.
Shareholders are considering two options: buying gas from the Sakhalin-1 project led by ExxonMobil, developing new resources or a combination of the two.
Yet, Sakhalin-1, where Russian state-controlled oil major Rosneft is also a shareholder, aims to have its own LNG plant.
Gazprom, the world's top conventional gas producer, has mandated banks to arrange investor meetings in the United States this week, Thomson Reuters news and market analysis service IFR said last Wednesday.
IFR said a US dollar denominated Eurobond of a benchmark size may follow the roadshow, set for March 13 in Los Angeles and March 14 in New York.

The world might not have a magical solution to shore up ailing economies, but an international private-public coalition says it is developing a comprehensive digital platform that could kick-start an unprecedented upturn in trade and growth.
The Global Coalition for Efficient Logistics – a Swiss-based nonprofit organization whose MENA headquarters reside in Beirut – says its online platform, to be deployed in early 2015, can bring about billions of dollars in savings in trade and logistics.
The online platform could bolster trade by a double digit figure in Lebanon alone, the organization says.
According to their recently submitted value proposition, Lebanon could halve the cost of import and export from 12 to 6 percent as a result of the system, which will translate into savings amounting to $1 billion for the Lebanese economy. And average operating costs for Lebanese businesses could fall by 15 percent.
Lebanon would also benefit substantially, given its location and strong regional business links, from a projected $389 billion boom in trade and more than 30 million jobs to be created across south Mediterranean states.
On a global level, the figures are even more impressive, with the cost of trade expected to fall by $691 billion a year. In addition, over $6 trillion in new markets will be available to financial, insurance and technology industries as a result of the adoption of the system, which will be deployed globally free of cost to end users.
The current status of the international logistics industry is similar to the aviation industry before Internet booking was developed, Samuel Salloum, co-founder of Global Coalition for Efficient Logistics, explained in an interview with The Daily Star in Beirut.
"A decade or so before when you had to physically go to a travel agent who would scramble to make phone calls and find you a place on the right flight. If he wished he could book with the airline that gave the biggest commission instead of the cheapest and the process ended there," Salloum said.
Financing travel was almost impossible and the amount of lost economic opportunity was stunning looking back at how business functioned, Salloum added.
"The development of online booking systems not only saved billions of dollars in expenses but created hundreds of billions in ancillary travel services, including hotels, rental cars, and insurance all at the click of a button," he said.
International logistics has so far failed to utilize the opportunities that today's technology presents. Very fragmented and inefficient, the industry still relies on outmoded ways, said Salloum, a Lebanese-U.S. citizen with decades of experience in the business.
"What had been lacking is a strong non-for-profit coalition that could bring international decision-makers to a consensus to create a universal system that is trusted, neutral and immune to geopolitical influences. This is exactly what we have achieved," Salloum said.
Dubbed Hummawealth, the initiative has already gathered a strong and growing alliance of top information technology firms, banks, insurance companies, economic unions and many more. Key international players, including several United Nations organizations, the Arab League, and the Union for the Mediterranean, ASEAN and many more, have joined hands with GCEL to realize the ambitious project, Salloum said.
The soft infrastructure, or the Global Logistics System, will be open-source and built cooperatively by 12 of the largest software enterprises, which already signed an exclusive deal to design the system.
Each of the 12 "gateways" will provide the system to their clients and deploy it across the globe free of cost to users, including each and every player involved in trade such as customs authorities, shippers, banks and insurance companies.
While end users of the system would pay nothing to access it, banks and insurance firms, who would have access to trillions of dollars in business, would have to pay a small share of transaction profit to maintain the system and allow it to remain sustainable.
Following a successful pilot project deployed in Canada and the United States, GCEL is preparing for a second pilot project connecting India and Indonesia's trade.
"Fifty years ago, the creation of the shipping container allowed for international trade to take to new levels of growth. We are creating a similar landmark development in the logistics and trade industry," he added.
"Lebanon should take pride to be a part of this."

Mason Blackmoor just can't compete with his brothers, much less his father. They represent the epitome of black magic, strong, dark, and wicked, and though Mason tries to live up to his respected lineage, most of the spells he casts go awry. To make matters worse, his active power has yet to kick in. While his brothers wield lightning and harness the cold, Mason sits on the sidelines, waiting for the moment when he can finally enter the magical game.
When a dead body is discovered on the football field of his high school, Mason meets Drake Carpenter, the new kid in town. Drake's confident demeanor and quick wit rub Mason the wrong way. Drake is far too self-assured for someone without an ounce of magical blood in his body, and Mason aims to teach him a lesson—like turn him into a roach. And if he's lucky, maybe this time Mason won't be the one turned into an insect.
Not surprisingly, the dislike is mutual, and Drake does nothing to dispel Mason's suspicion that the sexy boy with a southern drawl is somehow connected to the murder.
If only Mason didn't find himself inexplicably spellbound whenever they are together, they might actually find out what danger hides in the shadows.
Spell Bound by Jacob Z Flores focuses on the life of Mason, a coming of age warlock from a powerful family who doesn't have a handle on his powers, yet. A sneaky shifter, Drake, is new in town and the two of them butt heads as much as they fight their attraction to each other. A dark force has also inhabited the town and none of the protective Coven knows about. Dead bodies have been showing up and no one is sure who is causing all of the murders, including the Magical Council. Things become dangerous for the pair.
There are witches, warlocks, and wizards throughout the story along with a shifter and a powerful force that governs them all. I enjoyed Mason and his I don't care attitude. He enjoyed the fact that everyone was afraid of him even though he never did anything specific to deserve that fear. As the family screw up, he tries to prove himself time and again only to mess things up. His brothers make sure he remembers how badly he screws up along with his counterparts. I felt bad for Mason, but I also understood about family obligation – especially with his mother's passing and his father's mourning.
While I enjoyed this story and the sweet/sexy pairing of Mason and Drake, it wasn't different enough to stand out for me.
