MESA, AZ – 12 Sep, 2017 – Dr. Greg J. Marchand MD, a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist dedicated to reducing invasive surgeries, was among the first in the US to be awarded the new prestigious “Master Surgeon” designation today by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC).  Dr. Marchand is a practicing surgeon in Arizona’s East Valley, and widely published in minimally invasive surgery.  Dr. Marchand also holds World Records in Minimally invasive surgery including a Guinness World Record for minimally invasive Hysterectomy.

The Surgical Review Corporation, (SRC) is an AAGL (American Associate of Gynecologic Laparoscopists) sponsored, internationally recognized medical accreditation company which manages prestigious designations such as the “Center of Excellence Program.”  They announced today their new designation program of “Master Surgeon.”  Dr. Marchand confirms he was among the first designees in the United States.

“I am excited to be awarded this designation and really hope this sparks a lot of new conversations about the exciting breakthroughs in minimally invasive surgery.”  Dr. Marchand said. “Far too many women are being cut open for procedures that could be performed through minimally invasive means.  I hope the new “Master Surgeon” program inspires Surgeons and Hospitals to pursue the most minimally invasive techniques and the best outcomes for their patients.”

Previously, SRC and AAGL have bestowed the prestigious “Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology” (COEMIG) designation on some of the nation’s finest surgical hospitals.  Past recipients have included Kaiser Permanente in California and Penn State Hospital.  The “Master Surgeon” program will now recognize individual surgeons for excellence in their fields.

“We congratulate Dr. Marchand for his accreditation,” says Ashley DuBray, SRC senior director.  “To achieve accreditation, Dr. Marchand invited SRC to complete a rigorous onsite inspection and thorough chart review to illustrate his compliance with the program. Dr. Marchand and his practice exemplify SRC’s commitment to patient safety and care.”

In contrast to typical surgical procedures, such as a traditional hysterectomy in which a woman’s abdomen is cut open, the uterus removed and then the incision site sutured, minimally invasive techniques use thin needles, very small incisions and an endoscope to guide the surgical tools through the smaller openings. Trauma to the body and recovery time are both reduced with such surgical options, and patients often leave the hospital the same day as the procedure.

Dr. Marchand’s technique for hysterectomies is so refined that he holds a 2008 Guinness World Record for removing a 7-pound uterus laparoscopically. He is also extensively published in medical journals for his research and innovation in developing techniques in minimally invasive surgery.

ABOUT DR. GREG MARCHAND MD, FACS, FACOG, FICS

Dr. Marchand is originally from Providence, RI, and is a board certified physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology.  Dr. Marchand is extensively published in minimally invasive gynecology and is internationally recognized as a pioneer in developing laparoscopic techniques, as well as an expert minimally invasive surgeon and teaching surgeon. Dr. Marchand was recently honored with a World Record for removing a 17cm Malignant tumor using a special laparoscopic cancer staging technique he invented.  Dr. Marchand was also one half of the team that was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records(TM) for removing a seven pound uterus without needing to cut open the patient.  In addition, Dr. Marchand is one of the few OBGYN’s in the country to a fellow of both ACOG (American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) and ACS (American College of Surgeons.) When he is not in the operating room, Dr. Marchand enjoys low carbohydrate living and chasing around his four year old son, Sebastian.

Mobiveil’s Complete PCIe to NVMe Solution for Crossbar’s ReRAM Storage Class Memory

SSDs to Enable 10X IOPS at 1/10th latencies over Flash NVMe SSDs

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – 12 Sep, 2017 – Mobiveil, Inc., a fast-growing supplier of silicon intellectual property (IP), platforms and IP-enabled design services and Crossbar, Inc., the ReRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory) technology leader, today announced a partnership to apply Mobiveil’s complete PCIe to NVMe set of solid state drive (SSD) IP to support the Crossbar, Inc., ReRAM IP blocks.

The companies will work together on a new ReRAM-based design from Mobiveil’s complete PCIe-to-NVMe set of SSD IP with Crossbar’s ReRAM enabling six-million 512B IOPS below 10us latency. The performance gain will enable ReRAM-based SSDs to significantly speed up access to frequently requested information in large data centers.

“We are excited to be partnering with Mobiveil,” says George Minassian, chief executive officer (CEO) and co-founder of Crossbar. “Being able to leverage the Mobiveil IP to develop an ecosystem supporting ReRAM-based SSD solutions will enable Crossbar to demonstrate the great strength our patented ReRAM technology offers over Flash. Crossbar’s ReRAM technology can be architected with small pages that can be independently erased or re-programmed. The result is a SSD that acts more like DDR memory than flash.”

Mobiveil CEO Ravi Thummarukudy states, “Mobiveil is delighted to engage with Crossbar to enable its ReRAM technology as an alternative SSD solution to what’s on the market today. Our silicon-proven NVMe, PCIe and DDR3/4 controllers can easily be adapted to accommodate the ReRAM architecture. Mobiveil’s NVM Express Controller is highly flexible and configurable design to unlock the current and future potential of PCIe-based SSDs. The controller architecture is tailored to optimize link and throughput utilization, latency, reliability, power consumption, and silicon footprint. It can be used along with its PCI Express controller (GPEX) and Crossbar’s ReRAM controller.”

About Crossbar ReRAM Technology

Crossbar ReRAM’s is a unique memory technology that can be integrated inside a system-on-chip (SoC) on standard logic CMOS manufacturing lines, or produced as a standalone memory chip. Compared to traditional flash memory, Crossbar ReRAM offers much faster, byte alterable, low power, erase-free operation. ReRAM drastically simplifies the complexity of the storage controller by removing a large portion of the background memory accesses required for garbage collection. It also eliminates the need in Flash designs to build memory arrays in large blocks that can be independently but atomically erased.

Crossbar ReRAM can be architected with smaller pages to reduce read and write latencies, lower energy and increased lifetime of the storage solutions. With ReRAM, designers can create entirely new subsystems –– from “persistent memory” that brings data closer to the CPU to “smart memory” for in-memory computing without a host CPU. Crossbar ReRAM is available for licensing at 40nm, enabling even higher density and more tightly integrated devices. Crossbar licenses its technology to SoC and memory companies as off-the-shelf or custom IP cores.

About Mobiveil’s NVM Express Solution

Mobiveil offers a complete subsystem design for accelerating PCIe SSD product development. At the center of this subsystem is its highly configurable and feature-rich NVM Express controller IP, UNEX, available with AXI interface for easy integration into FPGAs and SoCs targeting high-performance SSD solutions. Other IP components in the subsystem include highly configurable PCI-SIG certified PCI Express Gen3 (GPEX), DDR4/3 and ONFI Controllers. To enable faster product development for users, Mobiveil, with its overall IC and system expertise, also offers a complete FPGA development platform with a board support package and low-level drivers to validate the solution against their user applications.

About Crossbar, Inc.

Crossbar was founded in 2010 to commercialize a radically different approach to non-volatile memory called Resistive RAM or ReRAM. Crossbar is the leader in ReRAM technology, enabling kilobytes to terabytes of always-on data storage to be embedded into any processor, microcontroller, FPGA or as a standalone memory chip. Crossbar ReRAM lets designers rethink the compute/storage paradigm, free from the constraints of traditional flash and DRAM memories. From “persistent memory” that brings data closer to CPU to “cognitive memory” that enables in-memory computing without a host CPU, ReRAM is ushering in new era of data storage and processing for both edge and cloud computing.

919 Law is the new breakout tech-marketing company bringing ease and simplicity for select law firms in Philadelphia and across the Country. The company incorporates an exclusive 3 digit call forwarding service with all-inclusive advertising, making 919 Law one of the most compact and effective marketing platforms currently in existence.

In the Philadelphia area, they have selected the first 2 of 6 Practices to represent. The concept is so simple that by the end of reading this article I promise that you’ll remember their number. If you’re in disbelief you can pick up the phone right now to test the number out, #919.

If you were to pick up any cell phone, anywhere in the united states and dial #919, it automatically connects you with 1 specific law firm for whatever type of lawyer that client needs (Yes, the 3 digit number actually works).

Here is exactly what happens with their service:

  • Law Firms or Solo Practices buy into #919’s call forwarding / advertising service.
  • That Specific Law Firm or Practice represents their entire regional market (Nielsen Media Market Map / DMA ), and receives all specific calls from within those boundaries.
  • Each month 919 automatically advertises within the boundaries of a Firm’s regional market using custom image based ads and video commercials featuring that specific Firm.
  • #919 Lawyers benefit from the easy to remember 3 digit phone number, as it is the only in existence.

In the larger scale of things, each Firm signing up for the service capitalizes from 919 Law’s Nationwide advertising. When an ad is seen by a potential client on the west coast who may need representation on the east coast, their simple nationwide number #919 becomes that much more beneficial.

The total cost of the service is one of the most attractive points to 919 Law, beating out just about every marketing company’s monthly price tag. Using a compound advertising tactic, 919 dedicates nearly $50,000 monthly to paid advertising. Most law offices will find it hard to compete with a budget that size.

Ask yourself this question, “Can I benefit from receiving all calls from my own regional market?”. The answer should be a resounding “YES!”. Luckily, 919 Law is currently in the final enrollment phase of their operation.

Law Groups or Lawyers can find out if their area is available for purchase by simply calling #919 or by clicking here.

NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA – 13 Sep, 2017 – Sell and Stay relocated to Sydney to offer a reverse mortgage program for those willing to retire and live in the region. The business was operating in Melbourne until recently, but the residents of Sydney can now also benefit from its reverse mortgage solutions that let you sell and rent back your property to get additional funds. This kind of program is ideal for elders who want to enjoy financial freedom during the last stages of life.

Paul Sharp, General Manager at Sell and Stay, while talking about the main benefits of this service for retirees said, “We support those who need monetary help. When someone is ready to retire, the change in lifestyle is a definite thing. However, the most elders want to enjoy financial freedom during the twilight years of their life, and typically want to live like how they were living during the employment period.”

Paul added, “Pension plans offer some financial help, but they are not very effective. Those who own a home and feel dissatisfied with their financial plans can call us to sell their homes and rent back privately, and in many cases do not need to pay any tax on the sales price.”

He added, “You can sell your home and liquidate release the equity that you have with your property.  You may be able to receive a lump sum of cash in return, or over payments, which will be enough for supporting your retired life needs. The main advantage with Sell and Stay is that the liquidation of your property value is able to be matched with respect to your ongoing financial needs.”

He further explained that people can avoid an expensive reverse mortgage easily with the Sell and Stay process. We typically enable you to  sell your home for the lump sum price you desire, without the need to relocate immediately.  You can set a long term or short-term lease of the same property with respect to your needs and according to the equity in your home, and the length of time you wish to stay residing in it.

“Our aim is to give simple solutions to the elders of Sydney and Australia. By discussing your financial preferences, we are able to provide you  with multiple options to choose from to enable the sale and lease back of your home. We understand the needs of our clients and so we work in privacy discrete manner. It is the main benefits for why  retirees age can benefit from our approach.”

With the introduction of Sell and Stay in Sydney, those who are of retirement age will be enabled another option to manage their finances through their retirement.  The elders will get the ability to fulfill a bucket list, pay off any pending debts, support the family or receive extra care. Change your financial conditions while remaining secure with your next investment.

Not taking prescribed medicine plays critical role in blood pressure and heart disease disparities, says new report from FDA and National Forum for Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention

WASHINGTON, D.C. – 13 Sep, 2017 – The fact that blacks are less likely than their white counterparts to take their prescribed medications is a major reason why they are 2-3 times as likely as whites to die from preventable heart disease, according to a new Journal of Clinical Hypertension report. The authors investigate the relationship between health disparities and patients taking their medicines, and offer strategies to address the problem.

“One prominent goal in keeping people healthy includes improving outcomes for priority populations, especially the African-American/black population. There remain significant cardiovascular health disparities and this paper provides evidence of potential effective interventions,” said Dr. Keith C. Ferdinand, lead author of the report and professor of medicine at the Tulane University School of Medicine.

The article, Disparities in hypertension and cardiovascular disease in blacks: The critical role of medication adherence, stems from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Enhanced Medication Adherence Strategies Initiative (EASi), which supports the Million Hearts® initiative to prevent one million heart attacks and strokes by 2022. The FDA signed a first-of-its-kind memorandum of understanding with the National Forum for Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention to engage private sector collaborators in EASi.

“Our publication and the overall work of EASi is to support the goals of Million Hearts® 2022,” Dr. Ferdinand said. “African Americans have a much higher risk of hypertension and our final goal is to educate patients and providers to improve adherence and contribute to the final achievement of health equality.”

Joining Dr. Ferdinand as report authors are FDA medical officer Dr. Fortunato Fred Senatore; Dr. Helene D. Clayton-Jeter, director of the Cardiovascular and Endocrine Liaison Program at the FDA; Dr. Kapil Yadov, cardiovascular disease fellow at the Tulane Heart & Vascular Institute; Dr. Samar A. Nasser, director of clinical health sciences at the Department of Clinical Research & Leadership at the George Washington University school of medicine; Dr. John Lewin, principal and founder of Lewin and Associates LLC and chairman of the National Coalition on Health Care; and Dr. Dennis R. Cryer, chief medical officer of CryerHealth.

“This report calls out the impact of low medication adherence on health and health equity of African Americans and charges us all to help reduce barriers to taking medications as prescribed,” said Janet Wright, M.D., executive director of Million Hearts®. “Greater medication adherence is possible and when achieved, fewer people will have heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and kidney disease – and many more days of good health.”

Through their comprehensive review, the report’s authors found that non-biological determinants, such as communication between patients and doctors, and cultural and socioeconomic differences, are key factors affecting whether patients take their medicine, and, consequently, their health. For example, despite dramatic improvements in U.S. cardiovascular disease mortality, blacks remain nearly twice as likely as whites to die from preventable heart disease and stroke.

The authors recommend eight practical approaches to improve medication adherence with the greatest potential to reduce this tragic disparity: 1) patient engagement strategies, 2) consumer-directed health care, 3) patient portals, 4) smart-apps and text-messages, 5) digital pillboxes, 6) pharmacist-led engagement, 7) cardiac rehabilitation, and 8) cognitive behavior therapy.

“This article highlights the human and economic toll of having lower consistent use of medications in the black population than the population at large, and gives us an added sense of urgency to resolve it,” said John M. Clymer, executive director of the National Forum for Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention. “The magnitude of unnecessary deaths, disability and costs say that this is a public health crisis. We know ways to solve it, and it should be a national priority to do so.”

9zest launches the World’s first comprehensive suite of Apps for Parkinson’s, Stroke & Chronic Pain

DOVER, DELAWARE – 13 Sep, 2017 – Multiple research studies have demonstrated the importance of holistic care in improving physical function and quality of life in people with Parkinson’s, Stroke and Chronic Pain. However, logistical and financial barriers currently hinder people from receiving this important care.

In line with its vision to enhance the quality of life by leveraging neuroplasticity principles (the brain’s natural ability to change and adapt at any age) for debilitating conditions, 9zest has created a suite of Apps to provide ‘at home’ therapy through handheld devices. Now, for the first time, mobile users are empowered to receive affordable, expert-guided therapy anywhere, anytime.

All apps – 9zest Parkinson’s Therapy, 9zest Stroke Rehab and 9zest FixHealth, generate a personalized program that takes a holistic approach to manage the condition by combining Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Yoga, and Meditation. The apps use 9zestSmartTM artificial intelligence engine and proprietary algorithm to design customized therapy protocol to meet the specific needs and disability level of the user.

The apps feature assessment of the condition, ProgressMeterTM to measure the improvement, and prescribed therapy to help manage or reduce the symptoms of a specific condition. To keep users motivated and challenged, the therapy protocol is automatically updated based on progress made by the user.

9zest was founded by Manoj Agarwala, a successful serial entrepreneur and founder of 3 technology companies. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s (PD) in 2013 at a young age of 43. He soon discovered that there is no remedy for the condition, however, workout and physical therapy can slow down the progression.

“Lifelong therapy was needed but insurance approved only 1 month of therapy. Self-pay can cost $2k to $3k per month. My PD progressed from UPDRS of 14 to 35 in the first two years. I started daily physical therapy in the third year and my UPDRS improved to 18”, explains Manoj Agarwala, Chief Executive Officer, 9zest, Inc.

Seeing this kind of dramatic improvement led him to start thinking that there are millions of people who need help with such kind of therapy and thus 9zest was born.

9zest apps promise to overcome many of the barriers faced by patients and their caregivers such as high rehabilitation cost and need to drive or arrange transportation to the Therapy Center. Each app is backed by unconditional money back guarantee. If the user does not experience any improvement in his/her condition or is not satisfied with the program for any reason, can claim the full refund by end of 12th week.  

These apps are available on App Store and Google Play for download.

The Road to the Olympics begins with Daniel Timson

West Sussex, United Kingdom – The International Equestrian Federation defines dressage as, “the highest expression of horse training” in which horse and rider are to perform a series of predetermined movements from memory. As many are aware of the sports current context, there are a select few that know the history. Dressage can be traced back to classical Greek and their military. Xenophon was a Military Commander who documented the horse training. They would train their horse’s certain movements to be performed on their command during battle to attack or evade the enemy.

It was not until Europeans in the Renaissance displayed the highly trained horses in equestrian pageants which lead those riding masters to develop a training system. As a result, the Imperial Spanish Riding School of Vienna was established in 1572 and dressage training continues to be based off those principles. Centuries to follow, in 1912, Dressage became an Olympic Sport allowing only military officers to compete. It was not until 40 years later where the rules changed allowing both men and women to compete in the sport.

As for those who aspire to be an Olympian, there is only one person to receive the best Dressage training Crawley from in the United Kingdom, Daniel Timson. For those who are unfamiliar with Daniel’s work, he spent years training in Germany with elite dressage trainers. During his time there, he was the only UK based rider to ride and compete for young stallions in the Westphalian State Stud.

With his experience, Timson can be found training clients of various competition levels, from Novice to the Grand Prix. His regimen is unlike any other Dressage Training Guilford as he provides a complete regimen for both riders and horses.

For more information on his training, consumers are encouraged to visit http://www.danieltimson.co.uk/Dressage-Training-Crawley.htm

Tour experiences not on the trail include full-day options with a theme based on popular bourbon drinks, historical local tie-ins, and other great traditions of Kentucky.

“We are thrilled about Copper Still Tours and it shows that we are dedicated to helping bourbonismcontinue to thrive in Kentucky” said Carey Fieldhouse, owner of R&R Limousine “We will focus our efforts specifically on expanding our bourbon tour offerings, which have become a signature offering for us.”

“The difference between R&R Limousine and Copper Still Tours is that Copper Still Tours goes beyond a pick up and drop off service. It’s a full immersion experience into the roots of Kentucky. That’s why our slogan is Have The Perfect Kentucky Day. That’s what we want our guests to have.” said Bourbon Tour Coordinator Eddie Fieldhouse III.

Craft cocktail bar mixers, snacks, a casual fresh atmosphere, and a concierge service where guests can pre-order gourmet food to take along with them on their tour also help give Copper Still Tours its distinctive edge. Guests can also reserve public or private trips online and create their own custom experience(s). They canalso select from a list of more than a dozen full-day experiences – complete with itineraries, vehicles and dates, add on food options and can even buy additional distillery tickets right from their computers, tablets, or phones.

The website can be found at www.CopperStillTours.com

Partnering with distilleries and the Kentucky Distillers Association for over 10 years, Copper Still Tours maintains their focus on responsible drinking measures. On-board mixers help encourage cocktails instead of shots, and a variety of snack food is included on every all-day tour to help avoid over-intoxication.

Classic Steuben, Hans Wegner Designs to be Auctioned with Fine Paintings at Michaan’s in September

Bay Area, California Auction House & Estate Liquidators | Michaan’s Auctions
Brilliant art glass and crystal illuminate Michaans September Gallery Auction of Fine Art, Furniture and Decorative Arts, Asian Art and Jewelry on Saturday, September 9.

Alameda, California – September 13, 2017 – Brilliant art glass and crystal illuminate Michaan’s September Gallery Auction of Fine Art, Furniture and Decorative Arts, Asian Art and Jewelry on Saturday, September 9. The energy of the season infuses the auction gallery, where early autumn sunbeams highlight Steuben, Lalique, Baccarat and Daum. Works by international artists and California painters of wide renown, period jewels, and Asian art objects are also featured in this sale of treasures from fine estates.

Michaan’s in September is the perfect place to expand fine decorative art collections. “The best names in glass and crystal were collected for decades by our client,” says specialist Elizabeth Dalton, “and it’s exciting to see so many excellent pieces in a single auction.” Various themes are represented such as “Arctic Exploration” and “Moby Dick” by Steuben (each $7,000-$9,000). The spectacular limited edition “Swan” bowl, also by Steuben, is estimated at $12,000-$15,000. Another art glass stunner is “Las Meninas” by Manolo Valdez for Daum. The bold, stylized figure in a full-skirted formal gown and imposing headdress was inspired by the little girl at the center of one of Western art’s best-known Old Master paintings: “Las Meninas,” Velasquez’s group portrait of the Spanish royal court. Crafted of luminous red amber pâte de verre, it is estimated at $6,000-$9,000. Lalique crystal sculptures include lovely “Venus” and the monumental “Angelique” covered vase, each $6,000-$8,000. Animal lovers will find a pair of cheetahs designed by Loet Vanderveen for Baccarat ($4,000-$6,000), a Steuben Alaskan grizzly bear ($3,000-$5,000) and a pair of Lalique cats 11921-1($600-$800). Also by Lalique: “Le Miroir aux Causeuses” ($4,000-$6,000), from a series of decor pieces featuring graceful nudes.

Fine Art has been exciting at Michaan’s throughout 2017, and September is bound to sustain the momentum with many dynamic paintings from California and beyond. Maurice Logan (1886-1997) was a San Francisco Bay area artist through and through. A top illustrator and widely admired Expressionist painter, Logan taught at Oakland’s California College of Arts and Crafts (now CCA) and exhibited regularly at the Bohemian Club, where he was a member. His oil painting “Totem Pole and Rolls Royce” ($6,000-$8,000) presents “an intriguing juxtaposition of two radically divergent cultural touchstones,” notes Michaan’s Fine Art specialist Susan Paffrath. Contrasting the solemn ancestral icon with the latest shiny pretty thing — deep spiritualism confronting high materialism — the artist finds beauty in both. Logan’s contemporary Carl Sammons (1883-1968), was a plein air painter of impressionistic California landscapes from the Sierras to the sea. Three of his works will be offered in September, their estimates ranging from $1,500-$3,000, a wonderful opportunity for longtime and beginning collectors alike. “Sunny Landscape” by Maurice Braun (1877-1941), another prominent California Impressionist, gorgeously conveys nature’s dreamlike qualities out West; it is estimated at $15,000-$20,000. For collectors of contemporary fine art, a highlight in September is “One” ($10,000-$15,000) by Eric Zener. A superb example of the artist’s masterful photorealism, the work in oil on canvas depicts a couple embracing in a swimming pool. Its composition is energized by the play of light on water and grounded by the connection between the two figures.

Dining suites, cabinetry, lighting, upholstered pieces and handwoven rugs… from iconic designs to one-of-a-kind finds, fine furniture attracts many bidders to Michaan’s monthly Gallery Auctions. September features dramatic Mid-Century Modern Murano glass chandeliers by Mazzega and Venini, classic Hans Wegner dining chairs (teak with woven cord seats, $2,000-$3,000 the suite of eight) and a 1960s Danish Modern teak secretary desk by Arne Wahl Iversen ($500-$700). Alongside these sleek designs sit lavish 19th century gilt bronze furnishings in the style of Louis XV and Louis XVI; the eclectic mix is part of the auction fun. Charming accent pieces include the 19th century European painted gilt sleigh ($1,000-$1,500), scaled to the size of a small child and ready for repurposing by a creative interior designer.

Unique furniture can also be found in the department of Asian Art, where a suite of rosewood armchairs ($4,000-$6,000) features variegated marble plaques as seat backs. The natural veining in the stone creates patterns suggestive of landscapes, maps, or other images conjured by the eyes of the beholder. Also offered are altar tables of Huanghuali and Zitan 11889-29 wood, the latter featuring unusual round insets of painted porcelain plaques on the tabletop ($10,000-$15,000). Fine old Chinese textiles include a large embroidered silk panel depicting Gods of Longevity ($2,000 to $4,000) and a sheer formal summer robe ($400-$600)for a lady, in vivid peacock blue banded by linen embroidered with chrysanthemums and butterflies. Collectors will find porcelain glazed bowls of diverse periods and colors, from Qianlong copper red and lemon yellow to Kangxi blue and Daoguong cafe-au-lait. Among the Japanese antiques, lately rising in the auction market, are the graceful six-panel moriage screen ($3,000-$4,000) and the Edo Period portable shrine, a decorated lacquer case that encloses a figure of the Buddha ($800-$1,200).

September has always been a time when wardrobes are updated, and why should fine jewelry be the exception? Collectors will want to make room in their jewel boxes for auction prizes from Michaan’s: precious period pieces, Native American turquoise and silver, bold gemstones and much more. Stock up on big statement rings with lapis and diamonds ($800-$1,200) or coral ($700-$900). Or choose the rose gold Georgian ring, elliptical in shape and set with diamonds surrounded by cobalt blue enamel ($1,000-$1,500) — an elegant piece, perfect for giving. From the same refined collector, the pair of exquisite Edwardian diamond and enamel bangles is estimated at $3,000-$5,000. The Victorian buckle bracelet transcends its period with subtle chic, crafted of supple gold mesh accented by a single fine diamond ($500-$700). Timepieces to covet include the gent’s Longines “Flagship” automatic wristwatch with luxurious gold mesh band ($1,500-$2,500) and the ladies’ retro diamond-studded white gold Bulova, attractively priced at $400-$600. GIA-certified diamonds and Mason-Kay certified jade jewelry pieces are also offered in September.
