store on Sacramento Street

The late Rex May was a successful graphic designer,gift and premium products best known for creating San Francisco’s 49-Mile Drive logo. He was also an avid collector of Mexican art, giving his collection to the Mexican Museum in 2001.


“An Inspired Gift: The Rex May Collection of Popular Art” is on display at the museum until next year. It contains some 400 masks, paintings, ceramic figurines and other pieces, arranged to evoke the feeling of how they looked when they occupied May’s Victorian home. It’s a refreshing approach.


“If you think of the Mexican sensitivities to color, line and form, this is a plethora of visual delight,” says David de la Torre, the museum’s director. “This is an opportunity Executive Gift Manufacturer kfea201esv to experience that in all its glory.”


A dozen red and yellow parrots are perched on top of one cabinet, grouped together as May would have done. Two look as if they might be kissing, the others appear to be observing the scene below. The scene is far more interesting than if May had spaced them evenly apart.


Visitors will enjoy looking at shelves filled with colorful figures, from a 19th-century carved figure of baby Jesus to Day of the Dead sculptures. Above the entrance to the gallery are wonderful animal masks made of bamboo and canvas.


“It begs to ask, why do people collect things?”hong kong gifts & premium manufacturer de la Torre says. “When they collect things, how far can they go?”


May grew up in a poor family in Texas and was discouraged from going to the Mexican neighborhoods in town. As an adult he fell in love with vibrant Mexican folk art, making numerous trips to add to his collection. He also ran a popular Christmas store on Sacramento Street, selling treasures he gathered on his world travels.


May died in 1993. His iconic 49-mile Scenic Drive sign,Gift And Premium Fair Company unveiled in 1955, is still in use today.


May donated some 1,400 objects in all to the museum. The entire collection will be displayed when the museum moves to its new home in The City’s Yerba Buena arts district in 2017 or 2018.

the European Commission

Seizing new industry


The European multidisciplinary intensive china company search attack China high-end manufacturing, the analysis thinks, Europe's economic downturn. Yet paradoxically, the EU has launched investigations against China limits, in fact the final results will lead to cause destruction to both sides, not conducive to the European industry revitalization and economic recovery. But once the outbreak of the two party trade war, the loss is difficult to calculate.


In the photovoltaic industry for example, long-term since central enterprises in the relationship between upstream and downstream in the photovoltaic field. The battery module and battery plate production link of China's industrial advantages, but the production of raw materials, equipment and production technology, mostly from the EU imported, so the EU photovoltaic installation and other downstream industries to create jobs. Recently, a release of Swiss independent research organization report showed that, if the EU to impose punitive tariffs on China PV products, will enable the EU to lose 242000 jobs, of which Germany by the greatest impact, three years may have lost about 85000 jobs. The number of jobs and the European Photovoltaic manufacturers may be added up to no more than photovoltaic industry chain are losing jobs 20%.


In this regard, China Renewable Energy Society, vice chairman Meng Xiangan of the "Economic Reference News" reporter said, the EU is to persist in wilfully and arbitrarily taken such a double-edged sword behavior, there are deep-seated reasons of history, political strategy, etc..


From a strategic point of view, Meng Xiangan said,china company setup kfea201esv photovoltaic belongs to the emerging industries of strategic importance, is also part of the third industrial revolution. In the past five years, China's photovoltaic industry production for the first in the world, and occupy about half of the European market, which caused the United States, Europe and other countries politicians. Obama ever expressed publicly, photovoltaic and other new technologies will not allow China to occupy a leading position, because who in strategic emerging industries occupy the leading position, that is to master the initiative "of the world economy and the PV double is to be put to death for China PV enterprises, and to the emerging industry, now the European Union and the Huawei, ZTE sanctions, further illustrates the intentions of their."


It is reported, the European Commission in October last year released a new industrial policy bulletin, formally proposed by the "new industrial revolution" reverse proportion of industrial decline, to 2020, the industrial added value accounted for the proportion of GDP from the current 15.6% to 20% of the overall goal of "Reindustrialization".


On the other hand, the EU in 2016 deadline to prepare, in 2016 China will automatically receive the status of market economy, there will no longer be able to use third party reference states ruled that the anti-dumping tax rate, so the anti-dumping that weapons dropped. The EU wants to do more preparation before 2016, do big action triggered concern. The policy level, the newly revised trade defense system is stepping forward, and will be formally launched in 2015, in which the key one is the Commission will be able to bypass the industrial application to investigation. Risk of anti-dumping procedures become the tool of trade protectionism will become greater than ever. And will become the first practical case of this item on the double reverse survey Huawei and ZTE, self-evident significance.

make handmade blankets f

I remember wrapping Sean in the blanket,gift and premium snuggling up to him and savoring my last few moments with my boy. As I said goodbye, I took comfort in knowing several people would soon be getting the phone call telling them they would receive their transplant and be taken off the list of nearly 10,000 New Yorkers currently waiting for an organ donation.


When it was time to make miracles happen, I folded up the blanket, went home and tried my best to carry on.


In the months after Sean's death,gift premium fair gmd685fes I needed a way to turn my grief into something positive. I began volunteering with the New York Organ Donor Network and started an organization called Sean's Gift with two life-long friends. Through Sean's gift, we partner with several knitting groups to make handmade blankets for the families of organ donors, in an attempt to comfort those going through what I know is an unmanageable tragedy. I was so touched by my friend's gift of the blanket and hope to bring that same peace to other families suffering the death of a loved one. To this day, I still fight over Sean's blanket with his brother and even sometimes the dog -- it is a treasured gift.


A few months after Sean's passing,gift and premium I was able to attend a transplant re-birthday celebration held by The American Liver Foundation where I met several people who had received liver transplants. After hearing their stories, I realized that only their gratitude matched the grief I felt for losing Sean. While nothing could have prepared me for losing my son, the knowledge that he saved three people has prepared me for the future.

Do not cut through the mortgage bank


THE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN of AIB has said he is not comfortable with banks who don’t pass mortgage rate cuts on to customers.

Michael Somers, who was a public servant for more than 4 decades and was appointed to AIB by the then-Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan in 2010, also said he doesn’t believe that AIB will cut its variable mortgage rates, despite the rate cut by the European Central Bank earlier this week.

“I can’t speak for the bank, but just to give you my own impression, I don’t think they will,” he told George Lee on RTE Radio One’s The Business this morning.

He said the bank is still losing money and hopes to become profitable next year, so will hold on to any money that it can. He described the situation was “perplexing” and said he was “never terribly comfortable” with banks not passing on rate cuts to customers.

Somers said he believed that Ireland continues to “shoot itself in the foot in many ways”, citing the heavy regulation which he says is to blame for a number of banks in the IFSC handing back their licences.

“One of the huge benefits to this country was the IFSC and I’m dismayed to see the banks handing back their licences down there,” he said. “The likes of Goldman Sachs handing back their licence… why is this happening? We don’t need it. We need those people to stay here”.

Somers also said it was getting increasingly difficult to recruit people to join AIB due to the cap on salaries for senior executives.

“In the NTMA [the National Treasury Management Agency, which Somers led for almost two decades before retiring in 2009] I was a believer – and it’s not kosher to say it now – in motivating people, and in the financial sector pay is the real motivator,” he said.

There’s an international market for banking skills and Irish people are very mobile. Some of them are very well trained, they’re very marketable and they can get jobs anywhere in the world – and there is a market level of pay.
Now the attitude at the moment is low pay, no bonuses and just kill the guy if he’s over whatever figure you want to chose. Fine – but the best people will just leave.
It comes less than a fortnight after the government said it would not use its stake in Bank of Ireland to vote against plans to pay the bank’s chief executive Richie Boucher a salary of €843,000.

Somers agreed with presenter George Lee who suggested that bank customers are being “screwed” by increased charges from a number of banks.

“There is this imperative to make institutions profitable and.. it’s very difficult to square that particular circle,” he said. “I mean, what do you do? We’ve already shrunk the numbers of staff there – if you go into any branch now you won’t get the same kind of services you would have got in the past. There’s a fella that’s going to direct you to a machine”.

Somers also said he doesn’t believe journalists are doing enough investigation into exactly how much banks are really lending to people.
