“A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.”

Quote For Today!
“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”
-Susan Polis Schutz

Macy's Is Laying Off 7,000 People
Retail Giant Macy’s will be laying off an additional 7,000 people soon. This news comes right on the heals of Macy’s recent closure of 11 stores last month as well. 5,100 hundred of the most current lay offs will affect store employees and the remaining number of layoffs will affect the corporate employees who will have the suffer with the confusion of coporate operations becoming centralized in an effort to reduce cost in the midst of an increasingly difficult retail sales quarter.
To add further to Macy’s economic troubles, the projected earnings for the fiscal year are well below what analysts even hypothesized at the beginning of the year.
It should be noted that same-store sales fell 7.5 percent during the combined November and December holiday period. Macy’s said the holiday season ended with improving sales in the fourth and fifth weeks of December but that sales were sluggish before that.
Employees who are laid off will be given the opportunity to apply for new jobs currently open in the economy. However, when a company encounters heavy reorganization within its structure - and has to cut back on previously planned expenses; I’m not so sure if these current openings within the company will actually be filled.
Feadship’s C- Stream: Yacht Game On Lock
The highly anticipated Super Yacht Pavilion at the Dubai International Boat Show in March will witness the presence of some of the most elite and luxurious yacht owners from around the world. I am also sure of the Company that will have the strongest effect on this class of elite buyers is Feadship. Thanks to their latest beauty- the C-Stream, the newest addition to their sensational series of ‘Streams’ designs, Feadship promises to rule the show. Studio de Voogt has designed the new C-Stream and the result is more than appealing. This lavish beauty is sure to pamper and cater to the needs of every luxury seeking yacht buyer. Considered a floating recreational island with a Dock, this one promises to be a showstopper!
