Book of Jenness Cortez Paintings Awarded Outstanding Book of the Year Gold Medal

TRAVERSE CITY, MI (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

Homage to the Creative Spirit: The Paintings of Jenness Cortez by Baylor University art historian Karen Rechnitzer Pope (AMI Publishers) has been named recipient of the 2012 Independent Publishers Outstanding Book of the Year award.

According to Jim Barnes, Independent Publishers awards director, the Cortez book, winner of the gold medal for most original book concept, exhibits the courage and creativity necessary to take chances, break new ground, and bring about changenot only to the world of publishingbut to our society. The masterful realist paintings by Jenness Cortez and insightful commentary by Karen Rechnitzer Pope, represent the most heartfelt, unique, outspoken and experimental literary and creative achievement among our 5,023 entries.

Robert Yassin, Executive Director of the Palos Verdes Art Center calls Jenness Cortez one of the worlds most eloquent and successful visual conversationalists. Yassin says that, All art is a dialogue, a conversation through the medium of the artwork between the artist and the viewer. It is the level of that dialogue that establishes the intrinsic value of a given work. Among the many characteristics of a real work of art, two are most significant and define both the quality and significance of the dialogue. The first is that what the artist is saying must be meaningful; the second, that it is clearly communicated and understood. In Cortez paintings, both criteria are more than fully met. The work talks to us at many levels and creates in us a sense of both understanding and well being. This happens because there is nothing arbitrary in Cortez paintings. The choice of the painting reproduced, the elements surrounding it, the space the elements occupy, the lighting, the color, everything is carefully selected and orchestrated following a fully articulated plan determined by the artist . . . The paintings of Jenness Cortez make my heart sing.

In the award-winning book, Homage to the Creative Spirit, Cortez reexamines the classic paradox of realism: the painting both as a window into an imagined space and as a physical object. According to painter Jenness Cortez, the artistic development for each of her works is similar. Every painting begins with a vision seen in the artists mind, Cortez says. Sometimes the finished piece appears in the mind full-blown, and at other times it is amorphousyet with some beguiling character that begs to be developed. In either case, between that first inspiration and the finished painting lie hours of research, thousands of choices and, of course, the great joy of painting. The process is organic. Even with a well-conceived composition in place, the painting has a life of its own and the best ones surprise even the artist with twists and turns that outshine the most clever of plans. Its as if the creative spirit insinuates itself into the work, wanting to serve its own best interest with solutions that far exceed the artists original, limited vision.

In this volume, author Karen Pope surveys and celebrates fifty-four paintings that display the range and variety of Cortez’ achievement. A key to the impact and success of each work of art is the skill with which Cortez achieves meticulous likenesses of everyday objects. This quality of realism, both sensuous and immaculate, offers exceptional visual pleasures.

Each Cortez work challenges the viewers intellectual curiosity and celebrates the sheer pleasure of beautiful painting. She plays the roles of author, architect, visual journalist, art historian, curator and pundit to help open our eyes to what we might otherwise have overlooked or taken for granted. Each painting presents a specific theme, mixing straightforward cues and obscure allusions, complemented by references to other artists lives and times. The paintings pay homage to the works of Albert Bierstadt, Winslow Homer, Claude Monet, Leonardo DaVinci, Rembrandt, Jan van Eyck, Jean-Bapitise-Camille-Corot, Johannes Vermeer, Edgar Degas,

Is it ok to use “wow” as a verb as well as “holiday”?

Question by curiousand counting: Is it ok to use “wow” as a verb as well as “holiday”?
I have noticed that some words in English which functioned solely as nouns are already being used as verbs. Like, “The call center agent wowed his customer.” or “The family is holidaying in Europe.”

Qualfon Receives PCI Compliance Certification

Monterrey, Mexico (PRWEB) May 12, 2012

Qualfon, a leading business process outsourcing (BPO) and call center service provider, is pleased to announce certification of full compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) as a Level 1 Service Provider.

Achieving PCI Compliance certification demonstrates the companys commitment to the highest standards of data security and places Qualfon among a select group of BPOs and call service providers around the globe to have achieved this distinction.

PCI DSS is a vital industry standard for the protection of sensitive cardholder data. PCI-DSS is a comprehensive set of standards that require merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to strict information security controls and processes. The certification involves verification of the implementation of a number of mandated control objectives that are specific to technology design, network and physical data security.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requires all merchants involved in the capture, storage and processing of credit card transactions engage certified auditors to perform audits of security controls. The audit includes external vulnerability scans of the network, verification that all card holder data and password data are encrypted, and ensuring that Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security is employed for access to, and transmission of, all cardholder data.

The PCI-DSS certification validates our commitment to protect our customers data and confidential information, said Javier Ayala, Qualfon, Chief Technology Officer. We worked hard to achieve PCI compliance on all our call centers and look forward to providing services to clients that require PCI compliance and enhanced data security.

The PCI DSS was created by the original five global payment companies: Visa Inc., MasterCard Worldwide, American Express, Discover Financial Services and JCB International, Their work has facilitated industry adoption of security measures that protect sensitive consumer account data.
