Marvin Mackey presents art that was buried for 40 years

New York-born artist crafts stainless-steel sculptures of modern art for homes and businesses

August 22, 2021; Boca Raton, FL – Marvin Mackey put his art career on hold for 40 years, but the New York-born and bred artist has now unleashed his work with customers paying as much as $650 to own a unique stainless-steel masterpiece. The artist produces sculptures made from stainless steel which is manipulated into unique, one-of-a-kind artworks for homes and businesses. 

In Mackey’s own words, he is presenting “art that was buried for 40 years”. He spent four decades raising a family and didn’t have the time to focus on creating art. Now retired, Mackeyis focusing on the dream that was put on hold. That dream was to produce thought-provoking sculptures from stainless steel. Mackey uses a highly reflective mirrored finish to his artwork, which makes a definitive statement in any home or business.

“Modern stainless steel is the medium of the 21st century,” Mackey said. “My sculptures are a series of well-defined lines that create excitement and movement. They make the eye move throughout the piece.”

Now residing in Boca Raton, Florida, Mackey’s sculptures have a crisp, cool appearance. The images and lines created by the twisted stainless steel make for endless viewing. Each sculpture is smooth and shiny, providing a centerpiece to any owner’s art collection. Mackey’s original sculptures will light up the room. 

“Stainless steel has a distinct, sleek appearance, and many people associate the material with modern elegance,” Mackey explained. “The material provides a timeless look to any home or business; unlike a painting or other art medium.”

Mackey is fully focused on his artwork and aims to continue producing original sculptures for customers around the globe. To view Marvin Mackey’s stainless-steel sculptures or to purchase one, please visit https://homedecorwallart.com/.

Worldiwde Vascular Graft Industry to 2026 – by Source, Indication, End-users and Geography

The “Vascular Graft Market – Forecasts from 2021 to 2026” report has been added to Research And Markets .com’s offering.

The global vascular graft market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.04% over the forecast period to reach a market size of US$7.955 billion in 2026 from US$5.637 billion in 2019. The vascular graft is a significant technique to carefully treat infected or harmed veins to re-establish the bloodstream by supplanting the veins. Supplanting solid veins ideal would guarantee an expanded future and this gives more authority over tolerant wellbeing.

An increasing number of patients experiencing cardiovascular infections, renal disappointment, sick veins, attributable to expanding predominance of geriatric populace across the globe, expanding focal point of the public authority towards preventive medical care, rising significance of solid future, expanding appropriation of direct to shopper approach for the accessibility of medical services administrations are a portion of the major just as significant components which will liable to increase the development of the vascular graft market in the projected time span of 2021-2028. Then again, expanding the number of exploration exercises, developing utilization of separating accuracy and customized medications which will additionally contribute by creating enormous freedoms that will prompt the development of the vascular graft market in the forthcoming years.

Nonetheless, instability in the costs of grafts offered by various organizations alongside expanding issues of transport of tests will be prone to go about as market restrictions factor for the development of the Vascular graft in the previously mentioned projected time span. The absence of repayment strategies will turn into the greatest and chief test for the development of the market.

Growth Factors.

• Growth of the cardiac aneurysms industry.

The growth of the cardiac aneurysms industry due to factors such as the high prevalence of high blood pressure and the advent of advanced tissue-engineered grafts for pediatric congenital heart surgeries is expected to further boost the growth of the vascular graft market as well. Besides, the advancement of novel prosthetic grafts with improved porosity and proficiency combined with developing acknowledgment for these grafts are projected to drive the item interest. Expanding geriatric populace and unfortunate way of life propensities, like liquor utilization and smoking, are expected to drive the interest for negligibly obtrusive grafting techniques. Expanding the number of treatment disappointments for CVDs, like the disappointment of organ transplantation, careful remaking, and ominous results because of mechanical gadgets, are relied upon to trigger interest for insignificantly obtrusive vascular inserts. Thus, increasing demand for minimally invasive implants is expected to drive the demand for vascular graft for cardiac aneurysms over the forecast period.

Restraints.

• Possibility of vascular graft infection.

Vascular graft infection is a rare but potentially devastating complication. Even with improving clinical and careful procedures, this intricacy stays the most genuine occasion after a blood vessel prosthetic substitution. A cautious clinical test of a patient who got a vascular graft is significant because the doubt of graft disease is consistently present. Due to the maturing of the populace, treating more seasoned or immunologically discouraged patients is more normal, thus elective techniques to decrease the substantial effect of the mediation have been recommended. Among these, ultrasound debridement of the contaminated tissues, and of the graft, is a possibility for moderate treatment with great outcomes at follow-up. Thus, the fear of contracting an infection from a vascular graft as well as the availability of alternate solutions like ultrasound debridement is expected to hurt the vascular graft market during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID – 19

Over the most recent couple of months, the quantity of patient visits to clinics has decreased essentially, regardless of crisis and OPD administrations being accessible in emergency clinics. Before beginning any interventional technique, specialists go through a progression of clinical tests to choose the best treatment for patients. Nonetheless, because of the lockdown in numerous nations, patient visits to medical clinics have decreased altogether. Therefore, the quantity of indicative tests has diminished. This has additionally diminished the deals of vascular grafts. Globally, a larger part of nations has deferred elective medical procedures to forestall the spread of COVID-19. Since 70-80% of vascular grafts, interventional strategies are elective, a significant number of these systems have been postponed. This is another factor contrarily affecting the development of the vascular grafts market. Additionally, shut assembling offices because of lockdowns disturbed stock chains, and diminished enlistments for clinical preliminaries are additionally expected to affect the development of the global vascular grafts market.

Competitive Insights

The increasing demand for vascular grafts caused by the increasing prevalence of cardiac aneurysms and cardiovascular disease across the world has led to the entry of several new players like Stryker in the vascular graft market. The entry of these new players in a market where traditional pharma behemoths like C. R. Bard, Inc. and Artegraft Inc. already exist, is expected to lead to further innovation in the vascular grafts market. Moreover, in order to further increase their clientele as well as increase their market share in the upcoming years, many of these market players have taken various strategic actions like partnerships and development of novel solutions which primarily focus on providing comfort to the patient, which is expected to keep the market competitive and constantly evolving.

Oceania Cruises Reveals New Restaurants And Culinary Experiences

“Ember” and “Aquamar Kitchen” to Debut Aboard Vista, Oceania Cruises’ New Ship

Oceania Cruises, the world’s leading culinary- and destination-focused cruise line, revealed the restaurants and dining experiences aboard its newest ship, Vista, due to debut in early 2023.

“Vista will present a fresh perspective on the finest cuisine at sea with an astounding array of dining options that range from informal to the extravagant,” stated Bob Binder, President and CEO of Oceania Cruises.

Vista will offer a total of twelve culinary venues which is unprecedented for a ship of its size. Of the twelve, four are brand new and exclusive to Vista.

“We have never been content to rest on our laurels, so even the expected has become the unexpected. A dramatic re-inspiration of every dining space from décor to table setting to menu offerings has resulted in a new pinnacle of diversity and creativity for our guests to enjoy,” added Binder.

Ember is the signature addition to Oceania Cruises’ family of restaurants. Open for lunch and dinner, Ember is the ideal place to warm your culinary soul. Featuring a menu of inventive American creations blended with time-honored classics, this inviting dining spot will instantly charm you with its alluring ambiance and tantalizing menu. Whether you are looking forward to a leisurely evening of dining or a quick dinner before catching the headline show, Ember is where you want to be. Braised Short Ribs on Polenta, Grilled Swordfish with Asparagus, Crab Cakes with Spicy Aioli, and a Cobb Salad with Smoked Chicken are just a few of the delights designed to tempt the palate.   

Aquamar Kitchen presents a decidedly fresh perspective on dining and the pursuit of wellness. Whether you are a dedicated flexitarian or a die-hard foodie, Aquamar Kitchen offers an abundance of indulgence with none of the guilt. Breakfast selections include cold-pressed raw juices and super-food smoothies, hearty homemade granolas and avocado toasts, organic power bowls, and savory breakfast wraps. For lunch, dozens of tempting, healthy dishes are offered such as Slow-Roasted Organic Salmon with quinoa tabouleh and lemon tahini, Yellowfin Tacos with white cabbage slaw, or even a Crunchy Chicken Sandwich on a freshly baked whole grain bun.

The Grand Dining Room is the luxurious grand dame of Oceania Cruises’ culinary world. Here, guests will savor a leisurely dining experience in a truly magnificent and inspired room whose ambiance soars to equally lofty heights as the cuisine. This signature dining experience has always offered a bevy of delicious Continental dishes, and now a fresh and new array of options brings even more exciting possibilities. Every day presents a realm of choices from signature Jacques Pépin classics to an incredible spectrum of global flavors and an all-new Executive Chef’s Tasting Menu. Menus change daily with an expansive choice of at least 10 appetizers, soups and salads and 10 dinner entrées, along with healthy options such as Aquamar Vitality Cuisine.

Polo Grill delights diners with the ultimate classic steakhouse experience presented with timeless reverence. Richly layered décor and an abundance of custom millwork create an imaginative rendition of tradition set against crisp white linen tablecloths while a cadre of black jacketed servers set the tone for an evening of gracious dining. Each course stands as the very definition of time-honored favorites, most notably the beef dishes, all of which are 28-day dry aged certified Black Angus USDA Prime, while succulent seafood dishes such as grilled swordfish and whole Maine lobster gratinée are also classics in their own right.

Toscana presents an evolution of Tuscan cuisine in a truly Italian setting of rich Chianina leather, hand-blown Venetian glass and Carrara marble. Evolved from generational family traditions, many of our recipes originated with the mothers and grandmothers of our own Italian culinary staff. Presented on elegant, custom-designed Versace china, masterfully prepared dishes exemplify the essence of Tuscany and celebrate Italy’s culinary passion. Perhaps the evening begins with the octopus carpaccio with Champagne vinaigrette or the artichoke and parmesan cheese timbale with black truffle sauce, followed by classic dishes such as the hand-rolled gnocchi with pesto, a rich risotto with lobster medallions and shallots, or a pan-seared sea bass filet finished with Sorrento lemon, chardonnay and capers.

Red Ginger radiates harmony and tranquility while evoking the boldness and subtleties of the extraordinary Pan-Asian dishes our talented chefs have created. Much like the room itself, the Thai, Korean, Japanese and Malaysian rooted specialties are a mélange of spicy and soothing, savory and sweet to please virtually every palate. Begin with a salad of spicy roast duck and watermelon with cashews, mint and Thai basil. Savor a Malaysian beef penang with coconut rice and paratha roti. Or try Thai vegetable curry with sweet potatoes, aubergine, mushrooms and basil in green curry sauce. In Red Ginger, the gustatory pleasures are as striking as the visual ones.

Terrace Café is the ultimate informal dining experience any time of day, whether inside the plushily adorned dining room or alfresco at one of the shaded tables on the stylish terrace. At breakfast, Terrace Café features a seemingly never-ending selection of sumptuous savory and sweet temptations including made-to-order eggs, omelets, pancakes and waffles. Come lunch, an expansive menu of international-inspired dishes is complemented by flavorful roasted and rotisserie meats and the magic of the pizzeria’s oven. In the evening, you’ll enjoy dinner in decidedly relaxed comfort as our chefs serve up an astounding array of dishes. Revel in a bounty of selections from grilled-to-order lobster tails, fish, filets and steaks to freshly made, hand-cut sushi and sashimi. A varied menu of hot and cold specialties changes daily along with our hallmark Chef’s Market Dinners featuring locally inspired specialties from the ports of call.

Waves Grill is a casual, colorful, and perhaps a bit playful setting for dining on all-American favorites.  Located in a spacious, shaded area steps from the swimming pool and Terrace Café, Waves Grill offers an extensive and mouthwatering menu during lunch and late into the afternoon for that much-desired snack or meal after an adventurous day of touring ashore. Watch the chefs grill gourmet burgers, succulent seafood and sandwiches to order in the open galley, accompanying them with sides like fresh salads, coleslaw and crispy, hand-cut fries. There is always room for dessert and the selection here is too good to pass up. Try a homemade sorbet, a made-to-order hot fudge sundae or a thick, hand-dipped milkshake.

The Culinary Center ascends to a new level of gustatory immersion as our passionate Chef Instructors share their enlightening perspectives on culture and cuisine through the lens of food and wine. Here, guests may not only partake in lively hands-on instruction – they may also indulge the pleasures of the palate in the new oceanview Culinary Center Dining Room with private group dinners or one of our many exclusive and highly acclaimed food and wine pairing experiences.

Priveé is our marquee venue for bespoke, intimate culinary celebrations for a maximum of 10 privileged guests. Dramatic backlit, debossed walls and a blooming flower petal ceiling from which a dramatic chandelier descends over the polished marble slab dining table set the stage for a memorable evening while a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass provides an exhilarating view to complement a most memorable private dinner party that can literally traverse continents.

Baristas offers the ultimate vistas aboard Vista with its commanding 270-degree views over the sea while guests enjoy complimentary illy® espressos, cappuccinos and lattes prepared by our master baristas as well as the delicious pastries, finger sandwiches and homemade biscotti.

Press Release 2021-08-12

As Housing Prices Rise, Affordability Squeeze is Coming

Rents will be unaffordable in the coming months, while lower monthly costs for buyers are at the mercy of historically low interest rates

– Despite low rates, mortgage payments are nearing the least affordable they’ve been in years.

– Rent paid as a share of income is forecast to rise beyond 30% by December, which is considered housing burdened.

– Austin is expected to become the least-affordable major metro area outside California by 2022, though home values in Austin will be significantly lower than spendy coastal metros.

Housing affordability improvements brought on by historically low mortgage rates and dampened rent growth are quickly evaporating as housing costs rise faster than incomes. A new Zillow® analysis finds these affordability¹ issues are expected to worsen by the end of the year, and are likely to leave millions newly housing cost burdened. 

Interest rates play a major role in determining monthly payments, a key component of affordability. For the average U.S. home buyer, rates that began dropping in late 2018 and fell to record lows in January 2021 have kept mortgage payments² as a share of income lower than their previous peak in late 2018. But that’s about to change. 

Mortgage payments as a percent of income reached 19.4% in June — the most current observed data — and are forecast to surpass 2018 levels in August. Assuming home values grow in line with Zillow forecasts, that burden could rise to more than 23.1% by the end of the year, depending on the path of mortgage rates going forward.

“Strong demand and rising prices for homes are overwhelming the ability of low mortgage rates to keep monthly payments down,” said Nicole Bachaud, Zillow economic data analyst. “As prices continue to outpace income gains, affordability constraints will start to slow home price growth.”

Austin in particular has seen monthly payments for new mortgages rising faster than income growth, a trend that has pushed the Sun Belt standout six spots down the affordability ranks over the past year. As of June 2021, Austin is more affordable than eight major U.S. metros. But by December, it should surpass Seattle, Miami and New York, leaving only expensive California metros beyond it: San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Riverside. Keep in mind, though, that typical home values and sale prices in Austin are still less than half of those in San Francisco and San Jose. 

New home buyers in Austin in June 2020 spent 19.7% of their income on monthly mortgage payments, but by June 2021, that number had risen to 25.3%. If mortgage rates stay at just under 3%, Austin will see new home buyers’ share of income spent on mortgage bills rise to 30.1% by December, beyond the 30% threshold generally considered to be housing burdened.

If rates rise above 3% over the next few months, monthly payments for new mortgages will go up as well, and the change is more pronounced for costly houses. In the nation’s most expensive markets, San Jose and San Francisco, an increase in interest rates to 3.5% by December could cost homeowners an extra $378 and $334 more per month in mortgage payments, respectively. If interest rates rise to 4%, those increases stand at $751 and $663, respectively.

The Cost of Rising Rents
Rent payments as a portion of income are forecast to rise from 29.96% in June to 30.2% by December. That will push U.S. rents beyond the 30% threshold for renters being housing burdened, leaving less money left over for groceries, bills and other expenses. The pandemic’s impact was felt more keenly by renters, who were more likely to report a loss of income and/or job loss than homeowners, according to a recent Zillow survey, and homeowners typically earn more than renters do. 

Previous research found that when rent affordability reaches above 32% housing costs can lead to a rapid rise in homelessness. As of June, 10 of the 50 largest U.S. metros have rent burdens beyond 32%, and Denver is expected to join that list by December.  

Some metros are forecasted to take a dramatic step down in rent affordability, while others (13 of the top-50) are predicted to improve. Buffalo, NY is expected to drop from 23rd most affordable in June to 35th among the 50 largest metros, while red-hot Phoenix will drop from 29th to 38th. But, in Cleveland, where the for-sale market has been red-hot, renters can expect to save about $23 on rent per month between now and 2022, while Providence, RI moved up five spots on the rental affordability charts, from 31st to 26th. 

“Increasing the available supply of homes — especially more dense, affordable housing types like townhomes and condos — will help balance the market and give renters and prospective home buyers opportunities to seek relief from being burdened by housing costs,” Bachaud said. 

Housing experts recently  surveyed by Zillow said relaxing zoning rules is the most practical and effective way to increase housing supply.

Alkymi Partners with Top Consulting Firms to Accelerate Digital Transformation for Investment Management, Commercial Real Estate and Insurance Customers

Alkymi, the leader in data workflow automation, today announced strategic partnerships with GCS Group, InfoGrate and Zen & Art to co-develop solutions for industry segments in financial services, real estate and insurance markets. These partners will lend their process expertise within each important business segment to build and offer ready-to-use Alkymi Patterns – delivered via Alkymi’s platform – to help their customers optimize their data-heavy processes.

“Our partners have a long history serving as trusted problem-solvers and corporate advisors within their industries,” said Harald Collet, CEO and co-founder of Alkymi. “We’re excited to provide our partners with a business-user-friendly, no-code platform to help them deliver tailored solutions that address their clients’ specific business challenges.”

Each turn-key solution will be directly provided by the partners, significantly accelerating the implementation and time-to-value for customers looking to automate their processes.

“We were struck by the simplicity and comprehensiveness of Alkymi and its pattern recognition technology,” said Doug Del Porto, partner, GCS Group. “There are multiple use cases across insurance – from underwriting (intake of multiple inconsistent brokerage forms for quotations such as employee lists or commercial auto inventory) to claims (consumption of dissimilar loss run data, often across multiple prior carriers) – that will benefit from workflow automation. We see Alkymi’s technology as a quick-to-implement and high-ROI solution for the digital insurer.”

“Our customers look to us to deliver end-to-end solutions to address their complex data problems,” said Sandesh Shetty, CEO, Zen & Art. “Within commercial real estate, many data workflows are ripe for digital transformation, and Alkymi Patterns gives us the tools to develop a unique offering that will make a significant difference in our customers’ decision-making, risk management, and service delivery.“

Equipboard – Connecting Artists to Products

AUSTIN, Texas – Aug. 9, 2021 – PRLog — Ever want to use the same gear as your favorite artist? Equipboard is making that easier than ever before as the one-stop platform connecting artists to the best industry products by breaking down the gear, tools, and products used by artists, professionals, and influencers in their craft. Founded to connect musicians with the proper technology to create music – and quickly becoming the world’s largest community of musicians and their gear – Equipboard showcases products used by mainstream musicians to make it easy for artists of all levels to be inspired and easily shop the same gear as industry professionals.

As musicians, founders Giulio Chiarenza and Michael Pierce were always searching for how their favorite artists would create their music or capture a specific tone on a track. With that curiosity serving as the foundation, Pierce and Chiarenza ended up creating a platform for themselves. “Ultimately, we want to make it easy for musicians to find out how to make the sounds they want to create from the music and artists that inspire them.”

Originally starting as a site and community where users research artists and add/review music gear in-depth, Equipboard quickly evolved into a comprehensive platform where musicians not only find in-depth research on artists and gear, but can also find the best price for the gear they are interested in purchasing. Today, more than one million people worldwide visit Equipboard every month to find their next music gear, providing a purchasing power of over six million dollars in gear through Equipboard in 2020 alone. The community is now over 200,000 strong, with more than 15k+ followers on social media.

As the community amasses more and more data about music gear and usage, Equipboard is developing new features that will show common combinations of gear, and what genres are most commonly played with a given piece of gear. They have also developed a “Gear Score” – product rankings of gear by category that aggregates reviews from multiple sources – making Equipboard the ultimate one-stop-shop for research and purchasing when it comes to buying new gear. Founder Michael Pierce remarks on his hopes for Equipboard saying, “Equipboard wants to be the definitive destination to find the absolute best music gear tailored to your needs. We want to enable personalization based on your musical tastes, the genres you play, and your budget. We know gear discovery looks very different for a guitarist that loves Jimi Hendrix than it does for a bedroom producer inspired by Grimes. We are building a site around that philosophy with the individuals’ journey in mind.”

Philips Sonicare Partners with Fashion Brand Susan Alexandra to Create an Exclusive Bold and Bright Travel Accessory Collection

Inspired by the portability and bold design of Philips One by Sonicare power toothbrush, the collaboration brings to life a collection emulating self-expression to accompany new travel adventures

In a first-of-its-kind partnership, Philips Sonicare, the #1 dental professional recommended power toothbrush brand worldwide, has collaborated with New York-based fashion and accessory brand, Susan Alexandra, to create a custom limited-edition travel accessory line highlighting self-expression through whimsical, bold designs.

The collection is inspired by Philips One by Sonicare: a new power toothbrush curated specifically for those who are ready for a step up from manual toothbrushing, with portability and bold colors at the core of its design. It’s microvibrations coupled with soft, contoured bristles provide a gentle, yet thorough clean. Available in both battery-operated or rechargeable formats, and complete with a travel case, Philips One by Sonicare simplifies and maximizes the efficacy of oral care routines, all with a fun aesthetic available in eight unique colors: Mango, Miami, Midnight, Mint, Shadow, Snow, Sage and Shimmer.

Philips Sonicare worked hand in hand with Susan Korn, founder and CEO of Susan Alexandra, to develop a line of limited-edition products that celebrate the Philips One by Sonicare portfolio and bright smiles, to help encourage personal expression. The bold, bright and cheerful sentiment behind each of Susan Alexandra’s products is a perfect match for the practical, sleek customizable design of Philips One by Sonicare.

“Philips Sonicare pursued this partnership to reach a new demographic of young adults who are looking to prioritize their health and individuality – especially while on the go,” said Marci El-Deiry, Head of Marketing, Oral Healthcare at Philips. “This partnership has been a true collaboration from inception, playing off the similarities and ideas of both Philips Sonicare and Susan Alexandra. Despite the difference in industry and products, both brands were able to come together, bonded by a common goal to showcase our dedication to self-care and prove that it can be accessible, user- and travel-friendly and enjoyable.”

The first product in this collection will launch in August and is a versatile and eye-catching beaded lip charm – the epitome of modern, playful style. Made of red rhinestone lips and pearl teeth, it highlights the value of a bright, white smile that Philips Sonicare can help achieve, while embodying the eccentric design Susan Alexandra is known for. It can be paired with a suitcase, purse or carry-on to add a pop of color during travel, chained to a necklace or looped onto a belt for a playful addition to any outfit, or even serve as a decorative ornament.

In September, a portfolio of additional products, which includes, a toiletry case, tote bag and decorative sticker sheets, will launch. The geometric, abstract design of this collection is reflective of Philips One by Sonicare colors and celebrates an affinity for bold, colorful accessories. The dazzling rhinestones are a celebration of the brighter, whiter smiles that Philips One by Sonicare delivers. 

“We were so thrilled when Philips Sonicare came to us to collaborate with the goal of giving our customers the gift of versatility, portability and travel style,” said Susan Alexandra founder, Susan Korn. “The bold, bright and cheerful sentiment behind each of the products in this collection marries the practical, sleek customizable design of Philips One by Sonicare.”

The lip charm is now available exclusively on susanalexandra.com for $48. The toiletry case, tote bag and decorative stickers will be available for purchase on susanalexandra.com in September 2021.
