Bloomfield, NJ, USA, June 24, 2020 -- Nye & Company Auctioneers’ online-only Estate Treasures auction on Wednesday, July 8th, beginning at 10 am Eastern time, will offer a variety of fine and decorative arts. Internet bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and the Nye & Company website: www.nyeandcompany.com.

“In accordance with the New Jersey State mandate, we cannot open our doors to the public,” said Andrew Holter of Nye & Company Auctioneers. “However, we plan to deliver clients a seamless online experience and will strive to deliver accurate condition reports and images for all items on offer. We’ll be closely monitoring our email account and all the bidding platforms.”

The auction will be headlined by a wonderfully rich, diverse and eclectic collection from the estates of Cornelia and Simon Michael Bessie of Lyme, Connecticut. The Bessies are well-known and respected in the literary publishing world. In particular, Michael left a top editorial position at Harper & Brothers in New York City to help found Atheneum Books (N.Y.) in 1959.

About a year later, Cornelia joined the firm in an editorial capacity. Michael served as president of Atheneum from 1963-1975, having co-founded the company with Alfred A. Knopf, Jr. and Hiram Haydn. In 1975, Bessie parted ways with Atheneum and rejoined Harper as a Senior Vice President with an agreement that Harper would finance Cornelia and Michael Bessie Books.

The estate is the epitome of a refined collection steeped in the classic and traditional aesthetic. Works include an ink study of animals by the French artist Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863). Another exciting piece is a pencil self-portrait by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901). The decorative arts are also well represented with not one, but two 17th/18th century Italian walnut cassones and a superb pair of North German bronze lions, possibly from the 15th/16th century.

Fine items from a private Ocean City, New Jersey collection were from the family’s worldwide travels. Defined by numerous cultures and time periods, this group includes a wonderful pair of Chinese Buddhist porcelain temple lions, Japanese Satsuma pottery, fine European paintings and bronzes. In particular there is an exceptionally nice bronze titled Combat de Coqs by the noted sculptor Paul Chevre (1866-1914), who was born in Belgium but was active in Paris, France.

The sale also features modern Arts & Crafts figured oak furniture by Stickley, stamped Stickley and bearing the company’s metal tag. Highlights include a seven-drawer chest, a glazed door bookcase, a rocker and a pair of side cabinets. This furniture is the perfect blend of traditional Arts & Crafts with an eye towards modernism, with lighter finishes and clean, rectilinear lines.

Earlier furniture includes a superb Chippendale reverse-serpentine chest of drawers, made in Massachusetts between 1760-1790. There is also an exceptional George III inlaid mahogany linen press, a surefire attention grabber with its sharply contrasting veneers, tall, vertical proportions and elaborate inlays. There is also an exceptionally crafted Classical ormolu-mounted marble-top pier, made in New York by a talented and highly skilled cabinetmaker.

The sale will also feature Part II of the estate of William Hodgins, the renowned Boston-based interior designer. Hodgins was an Architectural Digest, AD100 decorator once described as “a beacon of American Classicism”. He learned his craft working for the leading design firm of Sister Parish and Albert Hadley, then went on to establish his own Rolodex of clients, including Annette de la Renta’s three sisters, financier Felix Rohatyn, members of the Washington Post’s Graham family, Linda and Robert Taubman and a Saudi prince. His work has been published in Architectural Digest, House and Garden, Vogue, Town and Country and the New York Times.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, technologies have played and will keep playing a crucial role in keeping the society functional and these technologies may have a long-lasting impact beyond Covid-19

Berlin, Germany, June 24, 2020 -  Is it a winning bet or playing with fire to thinking about launching a new product in these coronavirus stricken times. Those who pay close attention to how people and, subsequently, businesses have adapted to the new normal might just find the right avenue for action. 

‘During the Covid-19 pandemic, technologies have played and will keep playing a crucial role in keeping our society functional. And these technologies may have a long-lasting impact beyond Covid-19’, says Ms. Vivien Untaru, General Manager with VON Consulting Tech Division, a technology start-up operating in San Diego, California.

Here’s some lines of business that VON Consulting Tech Division, specializing in hardware design and verification, as well as embedded software development services, application implementation and testing in telecommunications, has identified.

Logistics for contactless delivery
Online shopping needs to be supported by a robust logistics system. Many delivery companies and restaurants in the US are launching a type of delivery where goods are picked up and dropped off at a designated location. Stateside, e-commerce giants are also focusing on a new delivery system, through robot deliveries – so this might be one business avenue worth looking into.

Software for digital payments via cards or e-wallets
Thinking about a specific application for software development? Take the following into account: contactless digital payments. Either in the form of cards or e-wallets, this is the new recommended payment method to avoid the spread of Covid-19. Digital payments enable people to make online purchases and payments of goods, services and even utility payments, as well as to receive stimulus funds faster.

Workflow and security applications for remote work
Between 2017 and 2018, as per data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 25% of employees worked from home at least occasionally. These figures have registered a staggering increase over the last few months, due to social distancing and work-from-home regulations. 

Work-from-home led to the need for remote work technologies (virtual private networks - VPNs, voice over internet protocols - VoIPs, virtual meetings, cloud technology, work collaboration tools and even facial recognition technologies that enable a person to appear before a virtual background to preserve the privacy of the home). Just as much, remote work raised the bar on the necessity for information security, privacy and timely tech support. 

Core technologies for the supply chain
Heavy reliance on paper-based records, a lack of visibility on data and lack of diversity and flexibility have made existing supply chain systems vulnerable to any disruption, such as the one accelerated by the pandemic.
Big Data, cloud computing, Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) and blockchain are building a more resilient supply chain management system for the future by enhancing the accuracy of data and encouraging data sharing.

In order to continue beyond the Covid-19 era, a business has to portray digital readiness. 
As a supplier of the necessary infrastructure to support a digitized world, which facilitates staying current in the latest technology, one can remain competitive even in a post-Covid-19 world.

About VON Consulting
VON Consulting has 3 offices in SEE (Bucharest, Brasov and Cluj in Romania), one in the USA and in process to open up a new one in Dusseldorf, Germany. VON Consulting mission is to help our clients find the best partners, optimize their costs and always have valuable consultants and a seamless HR experience within reach. We started recruitment 15 years ago and, in time, we refined our IT recruitment practices to a state of the art process.

People looking to break free from the pain and find their optimal health are increasingly turning to Merewether’s CK Health clinic for a host of naturopathy solutions.

CK Health and Wellbeing is a national award-winning clinic providing nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle counselling, functional medicine and naturopathy services.

Cody Kennedy, Principal Naturopath at CK Health, is extending a welcoming hand and advice to residents who have still yet to experience her skills in Naturopathy, Western Herbal Medicine, Homoeopathy and Nutrition.

Cody recently completed an honours degree in Complementary Medicines Management along with a Graduate Diploma in Evidence-Based Medicine. She is also a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society since 2001.

Located in Mereweather, and also serving clients in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and surrounding areas, the clinic offers the chance for people who value their well-being to break free from struggles of debilitating conditions such as IBS, digestive problems, skin problems, fatigue, autoimmune and thyroid issues.

The centre includes a state-of-the-art Infrared Sauna and custom-built salt therapy room.

Cody commented: We’re thrilled to be helping locals in Mereweather and serving and receiving the support of all our clients. We love seeing people make their back to the road of wellness.

A good Naturopath is someone who looks at many different aspects of your life and works on all of them. At our Wellness Clinic, we address all of these things and may combine them to steer you towards naturally better health.

Cody works predominantly with people who suffer from autoimmune diseases such as MS, Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, as well as other illnesses.

She added: I like to work in such a way that your body is given the best chance to heal itself. Health is a combination of past medical history, lifestyle, genetics, environment and constitutional limitations. I consider all of these things when determining your treatment plan.

Sometimes it’s just a matter of learning simple things and applying them in daily life to improve health. I like to help you get back to enjoy everything life has to offer. Together we work towards making your health goals a reality.

The clinic has achieved five-star status with testimonials from many satisfied clients. One client Nicole Cosh said: Cody is so genuine and caring. She knows her stuff, and she’s really on your team, whatever your individual health goals are.

The blog will publish extra info and teaser chapters from Mike Nilles’ autobiographical novel, slated for release in September/October 2020.

Atlanta, GA - USA | June 22nd, 2020 -- MikeNilles.com is a newly launched book blog dedicated in preparation of writer Mike Nilles’ first autobiographical novel, set in Luxembourg in the 1970s. The novel tackles a personal story of abuse, tragedy, and mystery, mixing truth and fiction. It takes place in the towns of Steinfort and Rodange, in the heart of Luxembourg’s declining steel industry, where two working class families intertwine and clash. What follows is a gut-wrenching story of mistreatment and fractured relationships.

What started as a personal project has evolved into a tale that needs to be told, as per the author’s words. “When I began writing, (this book) started as nothing more than a form of self-therapy. Too much had happened that I could never bring over my lips,” Mike Nilles explains on his new blog. “But I can’t ignore that it happened. It started in the tiny town of Rodange, and what happened there followed me throughout my childhood, to Jean Asselborn’s municipality of Steinfort.”

In the lead up to the book’s release, Nilles plans to publish some of the book’s first chapters and release additional information to help readers learn more about the setting and put the puzzle pieces together. As an autobiographical novel, Mike Nilles’ new book will mix elements of truth and fiction, so it’s left to the reader to determine what really happened. Readers can also get in touch with Mike and share his story via the hashtag #mikenillesstory.

The book is set to be available for purchase in September/October 2020, with chapters and auxiliary information to be released in the lead up to the publication date.

About Us:
MikeNilles.com is a book blog created in anticipation of Mike Nilles’ first autobiographical novel, set in the towns of Rodange and Steinfort in Luxembourg, in the early 1970s. The book will recount a tale of hardship and abuse, encouraging readers to piece together the truth. Inspired by global movements like #MeToo, Mike Nilles decided that it was time to face his past.

After serving IT companies in Fort Myers, Florida for 7 years, Mandeep Singh has just launched his own professional web design company called Amptize to help business owners during this pandemic.

Mr. Singh with 15+ years of experience in the IT industry has launched the professional web design company during this pandemic time to help small business owners by offering them professional web services at affordable rates.

Business owners can find IT agencies near them easily but their prices are too high for a small business owner. Moreover, most of the agencies are just brokers. They take a good amount from the clients, start finding IT professionals overseas at the lowest price to do the job so that they can keep a huge amount in their pocket. Business owners can work directly with Amptize to cut that cost. It will be beneficial for both - Amptize and the business owners. The company is here to serve its quality work to small business owners in the USA, UK, Australia, and other countries.

“After COVID-19, it’s necessary to have a website to run a business. To attract visitors and clients, one must have a professional and responsive website. At Amptize, we design and develop professional websites at affordable rates. We want to make money but help you to save money too during this hard time. We want you to grow because your growth is our growth.” – Mandeep Singh, CEO / founder of Amptize (https://amptize.com).

Amptize is excited to announce that we provide custom website design, WordPress development, web page speed optimization, search engine optimization, social media marketing, email marketing, paid marketing, digital marketing, website maintenance, web hosting, PSD/AI to HTML/WordPress, logo design and branding at much affordable price. We are here to transform your business to compete in a digital environment.

“I have worked with many companies and have years of experience in the IT industry. The agencies in Fort Myers, FL I worked for, won many awards for the projects I delivered. That’s why I believe clients would love to work with me and come back for more.” says Mandeep.
