Kovels On Antiques & Collectibles September 2018 Newsletter Available

Toy merry-go-rounds and carousels auctioned in New Jersey are featured in a sale report in Kovels On Antiques & Collectibles September 2018 newsletter. Most were tin and made in Germany; all were whimsical and enticing. Kovels pictures merry-go-rounds with clowns, boats and zeppelins as well as horses that sold under $500. Antique vinaigrettes, small containers meant to hold a scented sponge, were auctioned in Pennsylvania. Prices ranged from under $300 to over $9,000 for 19th-century vinaigrettes made of gold, silver, wood or bone. Figural examples such as a knight's helmet, monkey's head, lady bug, leaning tower and more are pictured in Kovels' September newsletter.

A collection of Moorcroft pottery was auctioned in Connecticut. Moorcroft has been making pottery in England for more than 120 years. Kovels' September issue includes pictures and prices of vases, bowls, jars and urns decorated with flowers and the company's signature glazes that sold from $150 to $5,500. Props from movies and television shows connect collectors to the actors, characters and shows that they loved. Kovels' September issue includes pictures and prices of a hat from "The Beverly Hillbillies," a blaster from "Star Wars, The Return of the Jedi," a helmet from "Ben Hur," and other objects from memorable productions.

Modern furniture made by German designers is becoming popular with collectors. Kovels' latest newsletter features pricey examples of chairs and tables designed by Egon Eiermann, Berthold Müller, Eugen Schmidt and Helmut Magg that sold at auction in Germany.

Kovels also reports on two unusual collections, one of colorful glass target balls that were once filled with feathers and another of razor blade "banks" that were once used to dispose of used razor blades. They go "on the road" to Columbus, Ohio, to report on the Country Living Fair. Kovels' popular illustrated Collector's Gallery answers readers' questions about a Coca-Cola pocket mirror, a silver-plated butter dish, a Roseville vase and a mystery tool. September's Dictionary of Marks dates marks found on Steuben glass. And more than 70 antiques and collectibles are listed in September's Buyer's Price Guide.

From West Texas to the World – New Circular Products

The time is upon us to develop and enact new ways to live and conduct business that use a circular, zero-waste model. Researchers and governments worldwide have taken to the task of finding workable solutions to our growing climate problems, and one solution will soon be ready for them in the American southwest of Sweetwater, Texas.

At Global Fiberglass Solutions, the large-scale manufacturing operation happening in Sweetwater has been a long time coming. Bothell, Washington-based GFS has conducted its own materials science research and development through Washington State University for many years, and the great strides the company has made in its composites fiberglass material processing for manufacturing method are now exemplified in Sweetwater. This plant is capable of processing large numbers of tons of fiberglass or carbon fiber composite material, and subsequently manufacturing a variety of products from said material.

Global Fiberglass Solutions' processed composite material is known as Ecopolycrete™ (EPC). GFS can not only manufacture a wide range of products from this material, but the company can customize its products to a client's specification or requirements. GFS' clients include other manufacturers, to whom the company can sell manufacturing-grade fibers and manufacturing pellets. Another major product is its EPC panels for building construction. All of GFS' products come from waste material – GFS is one company that is walking the walk of a circular economy. Now, GFS is bringing its selection of certified cradle-to-cradle composite infrastructure products to offer to the world.

The interest GFS has attracted from companies and governments around the world – with its magnitude and general enthusiasm to collaborate – astonished the company's management, but GFS' executives now believe the Sweetwater plant's production scale will continue GFS' positive impression on its global market. While they weren't expecting this scale of response, the interest is now making a major difference in the overall growth of the company.

One industry that saw the value in GFS' venture long before product production in Texas is one in which west Texas also takes pride – the wind energy industry. Major wind energy firms, both US-based and abroad, count GFS as a collaborative, innovative vendor. On this show of support, GFS CEO Don Lilly gives "kudos to the wind energy companies who didn't want their [decommissioned] blades in a landfill and had the foresight to express interest in us."

GFS business development teams from the US headquarters and the European regional office based in Hamburg, Germany will be exhibiting with the company's product offerings at the WindEnergy Hamburg Expo this September 25-28. As a region with big commitments to carbon footprint reduction, Europe's composites-utilizing companies have kept their eyes on GFS for some time as the company has grown. Be alert to the latest news.

Circular products like pellets, panels and much more show the result of GFS' continued perseverance to meet its goal: to make a difference in our world and natural environment. While places like Germany, Denmark and China may get hype for their attention to climate problems, it's west Texas' time to show off its tangible solution.

Eduventures® Student Sentiment Survey™ Examines the Communication Preferences of College-Bound High School Students

The National Research Center for College and University Admissions™ (NRCCUA®), an educational data science and research organization that was recently acquired by ACT®, today announced findings from its Eduventures' Research division. Available in the Eduventures app on the Encoura™ Data Lab platform, the inaugural Student Sentiment Survey™ explores the key areas of college search behavior and communication preferences to help higher education enrollment officers create more effective outreach strategies. Designed as a compliment to Eduventures' Prospective Student Survey™, which measures brand perceptions of college-bound high-school students, and the Survey of Admitted Students™, which examines the enrollment decision and helps traditional institutions improve yield, this latest survey answers one of the most burning questions facing enrollment offices today: Now that I've identified my prospective students and crafted my message, how do I get it out?

Key findings from the survey include:

Six Prospective Student Search Strategies that reinforce that students are not a homogenous group, but rather they are individuals with unique preferences and behaviors. These include:

Analysis of the most used vs. most trusted marketing channels that highlights the influence of email (most used and trusted), social media (less used and very little-trusted), and third-party sources (often used and trusted).
The influence of search stage that illustrates how more than 80% of all students—sophomores, juniors, and seniors—actively engage in college search, their communication preferences change as their searches progress. In particular, it highlights the increased use of mobile for college search among younger students (39% of sophomores vs. 30% of seniors). Read news here.

"As growth in the number of high school students has stalled in recent years, the composition of those students has evolved," said Johanna Trovato, Senior Analyst and primary author of this study. "More first generation, underrepresented minority, and low income students are placing a wholly different set of pressures on recruiting efforts. Students are applying to nearly twice as many colleges and universities, on average, than they did a decade ago. In the zero-sum game of traditional undergraduate student recruitment, this creates an increasingly competitive landscape."

As generations change and traditional undergraduate student recruiting becomes more complex, a "one-size-fits-all" marketing strategy is not sufficient. This report highlights an outreach strategy that will help institutions attract, engage, and convert best-fit students.

Versatex Adds New Profile Options to Colorful Canvas Series for Woodgrain PVC Exterior Ceilings

Designed to bring the warmth and contrast of natural wood to the ceilings of covered decks, porches and verandas, the original Canvas Series T&G won immediate acceptance for new construction and renovation after its introduction last year. Now Versatex has expanded the range of options with two innovative profiles in matching, colorfast woodgrain finishes.

"We added the new Canvas Series profiles — a 1/2 x 6 tongue-and-groove beadboard and a bed mould — to the Canvas Series in response to overwhelming requests from contractors and builders who desire a different look, compared to the WP4 we currently offer," says Versatex spokesman Rick Kapres.

Available in textures and colors that replicate the beauty of black cherry, walnut or tropical macore — as well as a sunny amber tone — all Canvas Series components feature the easy workability, stability and weather-resistance of Versatex premium PVC exterior trim.

Versatex supplies the Canvas Series T&G stealth beadboard in 18' lengths, and the bed mould in 16' lengths. Both are sold through Versatex distribution and dealer partners.

Be alert to the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/alleged-victim-of-sexual-abuse-at.html

Mr. Kapres explains that the new profiles were conceived in response to a flood of requests for a more traditional, beaded profile and a smaller finish moulding for covering joints between ceiling boards and walls. "This is only the beginning," he says. "Our conversations with contractors, designers, architects and distributors constantly spark ideas for new profiles and colors.

"More and more homeowners are looking for that extra coziness and personality that the look of hardwood can provide. Now there's a permanent, durable answer for situations where severe conditions like coastal humidity and salt spray take their toll on natural wood."

About Versatex
Weather-resistant, long-lasting VERSATEX trim materials and systems are manufactured by Versatex Building Products, LLC, of Pittsburgh, where state-of-the-art facilities produce cellular PVC extrusion products such as VERSATEX trimboards, sheet, T&G, mouldings, prefabricated corners and one-piece column wraps; the innovative VERSATEX soffit system; dimensionally compatible VERSATEX Max nominal 2-by boards; and the Canvas Series, which pairs the beauty of wood with the durability of PVC.
