I am looking for someone/ anyone who wants to comment about the following podcast. You can leave your impressions here, or email me, to be a guest on our show, “Lying on the Beach” with Steve Greenberg and Lois Whitman-Hess. Loisw@hwhpr.com and http://www.lyingonthebeach.com.
Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, lit a firestorm when he recently chose Ivanka Trump to keynote at CES, the world’s largest trade show.
On this episode, he defends Ivanka, takes on China, and shares his views on the future of work, technology and our democracy itself.
We are getting ready for Super Bowl in Miami. Look whose yacht just arrived to get a great spot in the marina below our window. The Bravo Eugenia, owned by Jerry Jones who also owns the Dallas Cowboys. Cost: $225,000,000 —-358 feet long. Story and photo by Eliot Hess.
Allen Hirsch, a renowned New York City artist, has made every available smartphone much more user friendly and accommodating. No more dropping your phone and losing data.
The new HANDL Stick, from $10 to $20, (depending on the materials used), attaches to the back of your phone (or case) with an adhesive strip. The strip is stronger than Popeye and patented brace and elastic system makes your phone feel like it is floating in your hand.
Why are we interviewing Allen? We love the HANDL Stick and want everyone to know about it. Allen is a close friend who deserves credit for connecting a painter’s artistic touch to the most advantageous way to hold your cell. HANDL Stick also allows you to use it in landscape or portrait mode. The Stick gives you a hands free option as well for desk use.
Steve Greenberg, a TV personality and Lois Whitman-Hess, a PR expert, interview Allen on their podcast, “Lying on the Beach,” because they got the exclusive information on this marvelous and affordable invention.
We call ourselves the BBQ’s. That’s because we all come from Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens. Marcia and Richie Grand live in Whitestone, Queens in the summer months and Hallandale, FL during the winter.
They like to do a lot of outdoor activities, so we met them for an outing to Flamingo Gardens, Davie, FL. I always forget how much I love spending time with creatures who fly or hang out in water. Most of us do not spend a lot of time with other living things that need us to look after them. There is a large life out there that we barely think of each day. We need to change that.
THE FLAMINGO COSTUMES CONTEST
People from all over Southern Florida dress up plastic flamingos each year so they can compete for their fashion and entertainment sense. You pick the winner.
If you haven’t visited a hospital lately, please be advised, that you should wear a sweater, or even a snowsuit, when you enter the medical facility. It’s freezing in the waiting, patient, recovery and operating rooms.
Hospitals everywhere have lowered the temperatures of their interiors to prevent the spread of germs/viruses. Researchers have discovered in recent years, colder rooms provide more protection. That’s the good news.
The bad news is that patients who are wearing light weight gowns are suffering. They are so cold that they are shivering. Nurses offer as many blankets as they need, but anything less then four or five covers on top of a patient doesn’t seem to warm them up.
The good news is a company named 3M. I’m sure you have heard of them. They now make a portable heater that blows hot air under the patient’s gown. It’s name is the 3M Bair Hugger Heating System. You have to watch the video to understand how it works.
Progressive hospitals everywhere are using these new heat blowers for patients. TV personality Steve Greenberg, just had hand surgery today, at New York Presbyterian, and he said the new heating system was a great comfort. He is even considering buying a unit for cold winter nights in his New York apartment. You can laugh all you want. I bet you will be buying one too in the next year or two.
Here are the photos Eliot Hess took at Alex Nunez birthday party. We celebrated at the Deering Estate in Palmetto Bay, Fl. Watch the flight of migratory birds (Cormorants, Anhingas, and Ospreys) at sunset to safe haven trees ( to protect themselves from predators).
CES 2020 — It’s the largest tech conference in the world and “Lying on the Beach’s” Steve Greenberg and Lois Whitman-Hess were there checking out some of the latest high tech wonders. That was not an easy feat. In this case we should say “feet.” CES featured 15 miles of aisles with innovative products. It was like visiting a small city and touring every building. We tell you all about it.
Eliot and I attended the most unusual birthday party ever. Our dear and talented friend, Alex Nunez, turned 36 today and invited friends and family to the Deering Estate in Palmetto Bay, Fl, to see the flight of migratory birds (Cormorants, Anhingas, and Ospreys) at sunset to safe haven trees ( to protect themselves from predators).
Alex is a painter, writer, photographer, videographer, musician, podcaster and DJ host ( I’m sure much more). She arranged for her guests to wear headsets so that she could narrate the journey of the birds while we listened to the mix of songs she created for the evening. It was totally awesome.
Everyone got into the swing of things immediately and started singing and dancing. The event was one-of-a-kind that reminds us that sometimes nature can do the entertaining.
