Tallia Storm: Mein Instagram hat mein Debütalbum finanziert

LONDON, November 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Sir Elton John beschrieb sie als "eine der beeindruckendsten individuellen Soul-Stimmen, die er in 20 Jahren gehört hat" und Nile Rodgers bezeichnete sie sei einen seiner "bevorzugten neuen weltweiten Künstler". Tallia Storm ist gerade mal 19 Jahre alt und hat ihren souligen Powerhouse-Gesang zum Einsatz gebracht, um ihr vorliegendes Debütalbum mit dem Titel "Teenage Tears" zu veröffentlichen. Die Singer-Songwriterin hat die Musikproduktion unabhängig finanziert und arbeitete mit Branchengrößen in LA, Atlanta und London zusammen. Dies alles verdankt sie ihrem 300.000-Follower starken Instagram-Profil als Teenager-Influencer und Fashion-It-Girl.

Tallia ist Teil der wachsenden Gruppe von Künstlern, die nicht von einem großen Label vertreten werden. Sie vertritt die Generation-Z-Demografie, die unternehmerisch und unabhängig ist und global, nicht lokal mit großem Ehrgeiz und Originalität denkt.

Mit der Veröffentlichung der Single "The Good Lie" im Sommer 2017 und dem heute veröffentlichten Album "Teenage Tears" ist es leicht, ihre Einflüsse zu entdecken, die sie als Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Amy Winehouse und Alicia Keys sowie die Jazz-Größen Fitzgerald und Vaughan bezeichnet. Es gibt 15 Tracks auf dem Album, die einen wahren Touch ihres souligen, Jazz-inspirierten R&B-Gesangs bieten. Tallia Storm sagte: "Dieses Album ist eine Achterbahn der Gefühle - real, roh und ehrlich. Es ist eine Entdeckungs- und Selbstfindungsreise durch eine Sammlung an Teenager-Geschichten aus meinem Leben. Der Track ‚Everyday' war für mich am emotionalsten, da meine Mutter dieses Jahr mit einer Krebserkrankung zu kämpfen hatte. Ich habe mich ins Songwriting gestürzt und ‚Everyday' ist das Ergebnis. Es gibt so viele Zwänge da draußen, aber wenn wir sie langsam bewältigen, können wir mit allem fertig werden."

Die in London ansässige R&B-Sängerin und Songwriterin aus Schottland erregte die Aufmerksamkeit von Sir Elton John, als sie gerade 13 Jahre alt war und seinem Partner David Furnish in einem Hotelrestaurant eine Demo-CD überreichte. Sir Elton rief sie 24 Stunden später an und lud sie ein, sein Konzert in Großbritannien für 17.000 Menschen zu eröffnen. Seitdem tritt sie überall auf der Welt auf, zieht prominente Fans wie Eva Longoria an und hat sich einen Namen als bedeutende Mode-Influencerin gemacht. Von einigen der größten High-Street- und Luxusmarken der Welt eingekleidet zu werden und damit ihren Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen, hat es ihr ermöglicht, die Art von Musik zu liefern, die "sie will"!

Panjin, ein neuer Wegbereiter zur Öffnung Chinas

PANJIN, China, 17. November 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Panjin, eine Küstenstadt in der ländlichen Zone des nordöstlichen China, gedeiht dank der Neuen Seidenstraße und weitgefasster internationaler Zusammenarbeit als blühender Industriehafen.

Panjin liegt in der Liaodong-Bucht des Golfs von Bohai und ist eine wichtige Station auf allen drei Handelsrouten, die das nordöstliche China über die Mongolei, Russland und die Arktis separat mit Europa verknüpfen.

Mit dem Hafen von Panjin im Zentrum, liefert ein aus Hochgeschwindigkeitsbahnen und Schnellstraßen bestehendes Transportnetzwerk innerhalb einer Stunde Güter an sechs Städte in der Umgebung, deren Gesamtbevölkerung etwa 20 Millionen Menschen beträgt. Der Hafen bietet außerdem dem Nordosten von China und der Inneren Mongolei den am nächsten gelegenen Zugang zum Meer.

Die Stadtverwaltung von Panjin hat einen Plan ausformuliert, um Panjin in eine moderat entwickelte Stadt mit internationaler Kompetenz umzugestalten.

Im Februar reisten 11 ortsansässige Unternehmen ins Ausland, um die Zusammenarbeit entlang der Neuen Seidenstraße und der Maritimen Seidenstraße des 21. Jahrhunderts zu erforschen. Über 500 Beamte und Unternehmensvorstände aus Deutschland und China nahmen im September am International Beer Festival 2017 teil.

Mitte Oktober wurde Panjin als erste Stadt im Nordosten Chinas Mitglied der Chinesisch-Deutschen Industriestädteallianz. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Plattform zur Realisierung der Strategien der Konferenz „Made in China 2025 meets deutsche Industrie 4.0". 

Im Vergleich zu den anderen Mitgliedern der Allianz hat Panjin einen deutlichen geografischen Vorteil und übernimmt die Führung bei einer Reihe von innerpolitischen Reformen, von der Optimierung des Geschäftsumfelds bis zu neuen Energiefahrzeugen.

Eine Anzahl von europäischen Unternehmen, darunter die Leoni Group, Clariant und Dynasol haben dort Gemeinschaftsunternehmen gegründet. Die Stadt hat weiterhin Gespräche mit BASF, Evonik, Oiltanking und Steinbeis für weitere Zusammenarbeit eingeleitet.

Das Panjin Vocational and Technical College ist sogar eine Partnerschaft mit einer deutschen Institution eingegangen, um in Zusammenarbeit die Fachrichtungen Chemie, Altenpflege und Maschinenelektrik zu entwickeln, damit mehr Techniker für Unternehmen geschult werden können, die für deutsche Beteiligungsunternehmen qualifiziert sind. 

In der Zukunft werden dort ein international führender Standort für die Petrochemie- und Feinchemieindustrie sowie ein Standort für die Herstellung von Spezialausrüstungen gebaut. Europäische Unternehmen, die auf die Herstellung von Ethylen und seinen Folgeprodukten, Funktionspolymeren, High-Tech-Materialien und pharmazeutischen Zwischenprodukten spezialisiert sind, sind gemäß dem Amt für Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Stadtverwaltung von Panjin besonders willkommen.

Da die automatisierte und intelligente Produktion einer der wichtigsten Punkte im Programm der industriellen Umstrukturierung der Stadt ist, ist sie besonders daran interessiert, die Zusammenarbeit mit High-End-Herstellern von Erdölausrüstung und High-Tech-Unternehmen mit Wachstumspotenzial im Ausland zu erweitern.

La Comisión Europea de Turismo destaca el fuerte crecimiento del turismo internacional durante la temporada de verano

BRUSELAS, November 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

El turismo en Europa continuó en la senda del crecimiento durante la temporada de verano de 2017. Los resultados positivos son un reflejo de la fuerza del sector y de las condiciones alentadoras de la economía en los principales mercados emisores.

Según el último informe de la Comisión Europea de Turismo "European Tourism 2017-Trends & Prospects" la llegada de turistas internacionales en Europa creció un 8%^[1] durante los primeros 8 meses del año en comparación con el mismo periodo de 2016. La llegada de turistas internaciones aumentó en la mayor parte de países europeos (32 de 34) con la mitad de destinos disfrutando de un crecimiento superior al 10%.

"La demanda de turismo en Europa se encuentra en una trayectoria de crecimiento. Se espera que 2017 sea el octavo año consecutivo de crecimiento del sector pese a los retos geopolíticos y de seguridad. Para mantener esta tendencia es necesario que el sector público y privado unan esfuerzos paradesarrollar iniciativas sostenibles que fortalezcan la industria del turismo en Europa", comenta Eduardo Santander, director ejecutivo de la Comisión Europea de Turismo.

Islandia (+30%) mantiene su excelente momento pese a las preocupaciones acerca de la capacidad de alojamiento y las limitaciones de su infraestructura turística. Los destinos que en los últimos meses han tenido que hacer frente a percepciones de inseguridad consolidan su recuperación. Turquía (+26%) registra un crecimiento extraordinario gracias a la recuperación de los flujos emisores desde Rusia; mientras que Bélgica (+12%) también vio un crecimiento notable. Eslovenia, Serbia (ambos +19%), Malta(+17%) y Chipre (+15%) son los destinos que lideran el crecimiento en el sur de Europa y el Mediterráneo. El fuerte crecimiento en España (+10%) refleja la resistencia de la imagen del destino al ataque terrorista ocurrido en Barcelona en agosto.

LOS PRINCIPALES MERCADOS EMISORES EUROPEOS SIGUEN SIENDO CLAVE PARA EL CRECIMIENTO DEL SECTOR

Más de 3 de cada 4 destinos registran un aumento de turistas procedentes del Reino Unido en 2017. La caída del valor de la libra no ha disuadido a los británicos de viajar al extranjero. Los flujos emisores de Rusia hacia Europa comienzan a recuperarse tras años en descenso. De los 33 países que han reportado resultados, todos menos uno vieron una recuperación del mercado ruso. Turquía registró el mayor crecimiento (+800%) después de que Rusia levantara las restricciones de viajar a Turquía a sus ciudadanos.

Los destinos europeos también fueron testigos de un aumento sustancial en la llegada de turistas procedentes de China con un crecimiento total estimado en un 17%. El fortalecimiento de la economía china y la rápida expansión de la clase media siguen estimulando el turismo emisor. Pese al debilitamiento reciente del dólar, el valor de la moneda estadounidense frente al euro sigue alto lo que favorece los viajes transatlánticos cuyo aumento se estima en un 14% hasta la fecha. La llegada a Europa de viajeros procedentes de India también muestra un crecimiento sólido (+14%). La confianza de los consumidores y el incremento del consumo privado contribuyen a este crecimiento. Se espera que ambos factores sigan impulsando la demanda aumentando así la importancia de la India como mercado emisor hacia Europa.

Intelligent Transportation System Leads to First Test Bed 'K-City' for Connected Cars in South Korea

Penta Security Systems Inc. will head and monitor security systems for K-City, testing and certifying the safety of smart vehicles.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With the increasing prominence of smart and connected vehicles in Asia, South Korea is no stranger to the need for an intelligent transportation system (ITS), comprised of networks of smart roads and highways to communicate with the technology of connected and autonomous cars. Smart roads and highways allow for streamlined connectivity between a vehicle and surrounding vehicles as well as infrastructure and roadside units. This connectivity must function seamlessly to provide maximum efficiency and security. The first ever ITS project in Korea began in 2016 with smart roads set up in two major cities, Daejeon and Sejong. Consequently, Yeoju was added as the third ITS city in 2017 with the construction set to complete in December this year.

Penta Security Systems, a leading provider of web, IoT, and data security solutions and services, has set up and provided oversight on the security systems for all three cities by ensuring that its connected car security solution, AutoCrypt, protected vehicles, devices, and roadside units in the ITS from malicious traffic and tampering.

Following the successes of ITS and with data collected from smart roads and highways, K-City, a new test bed - the first of its kind in the country and second largest in the world - will open to both test and certify the safety of autonomous cars. Consequently, Penta Security received the greenlight to head the installation and operation of security systems for K-City, implementing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology as well as V2X security systems. This will ensure that communication between a vehicle and other vehicles (V2V, Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and infrastructure (V2I, Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) through roadside units are properly secured and encrypted. Penta Security will play a critical role in testing autonomous vehicles for proper security implementation as part of the certification for K-City.

Chief Technology Officer of Penta Security Systems, Daniel ES Kim remarked, "One of the central challenges for autonomous vehicles is that if the cars are compromised through internal or external networks, it is no longer a technical issue, but an issue of human safety. Penta Security's cooperation in leading security operations at the new test bed means that not only will K-City test autonomous vehicles for their operational technology, but security will also be highlighted as a priority."

Penta Security holds a "Secure First, Then Connect" approach to IoT, prioritizing logic-based security before connectivity in order to provide comprehensive and effective security. South Korea's K-City, along with Penta Security's security implementations, is set to open for testing in 2018.
